[00:00] i wont get kicked out of the irc due to inactivity? [00:00] Ztane: Would you like a list of the device types? [00:01] syed, no [00:01] okay - thanks! : ) [00:01] escott, I'm doing chmod +x myfilename.exten and the permissions won't change from -rw---(etc) [00:01] GreekFreak, its on an external media. what filesystem is this? [00:01] GreekFreak: if it's on fat/ntfs you can't apply posix permissions [00:03] escott, zykotick9, thank you. it's ntfs. I'll move it to the ubuntu drive [00:03] Does anyone else have a solution to unresponsive Wi-Fi? I can connect to my home network but nothing related to the Internet will load. [00:04] apport tends to freeze up on my system, anything i can do about this? it keeps having an error itself then trying to report that & so on [00:04] Rob_s820: hmmm that is stranger [00:05] Ztane: Is there any info you need that could help figure this out? [00:06] Rob_s820, can you ping your router? [00:06] could use some help: cloud reader at read.amazoncom shows up blank - i guess that it is a java applet? i tried updating the open-source java runtime environment & the icedtea plugin. any help greatly appreciated [00:07] escott: How would I do that? [00:07] Rob_s820, first figure out your ip with "ifconfig" [00:08] Rob_s820, look for inet addr [00:08] escott: it is 192.168.1.106 === fayimora_ is now known as fayimora === Narc is now known as Guest25574 [00:08] Rob_s820, so the router is probably 192.168.1.1. so "ping 192.168.1.1" and see what it says [00:09] ok guys and how do I change name in the way that I changed hostname ? [00:09] rebe, your username? [00:09] !hostname | rebe be careful! [00:09] rebe be careful!: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. === Guest25574 is now known as Daffodil === Daffodil is now known as VideoBear [00:10] Escott: it says, "from 192.168.1.106 icmp_seq=# Destination Host Unreachable" [00:10] Rob_s820, was this a wireless or wired connection [00:11] so, how does one troubleshoot ubuntu not doing anything that resembles "bringing an installer onscreen" when booting off the 12.04 desktop cd? http://www.twitvid.com/K6JGD is what i see on my monitor (from when POST ends till i stop recording at where it hangs) [00:11] escott: Wireless. I am using a laptop. [00:11] Rob_s820, how about pasting us the output of "ifconfig" "iwconfig" and "route" at paste.ubuntu.com [00:12] escott: I don't have access to anything besides my iPhone here.. [00:12] is there a way to see if a package was built with a certain commit applied? [00:12] Hello everyone, I'm trying to make some video calls with empathy on Precise, but I'm not able to do so. Sending and receiving webcam fails from both Jabber and MSN protocols. The persons I'm testing it with are on Pidgin on windows and Empathy on Ubuntu. Is it port related ? Thanks [00:12] escott: Anything in specific I could tell you? [00:12] What do i have to type in the ./bashrc so that every time my computer boots up, it browses to a directory and executes python server.py? if i just put python ~/server/server.py, it doesnt find the files anymore because it executes from home directory and lookes for files in home directory [00:13] escott, it didn't create the file for the echo. This is what I ran: https://gist.github.com/2765594 [00:13] Can anyone explain to me why I keep hearing not to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers? [00:13] GreekFreak, the script you execute should be a normal script. it shouldn't have cron directives like the 42 1 ... [00:14] hi, is postfix secure on 10.04? [00:14] VideoBear, if you both use msn, it is a msn service problem. [00:14] Rob_s820, i would advise disabling any wpa while you debug, but thats going to be harder since you cannot connect to the router [00:14] KingBeast, who tells you that ? [00:15] I keep seeing it on a lot of 12.04 videos [00:15] escott: So what would you suggest? [00:15] temp12, commands to be run once on boot should go in rc.local [00:15] OerHeks, ^^ [00:15] KingBeast, dont listen and install any way [00:15] Rob_s820, make a wired connection? [00:15] anyone? i'd think that there'd be a simple list of "try this if you can't get ubuntu to install" things, but even the release notes are pretty bare [00:16] OerHeks: Surprisingly, it doesn't work under Jabber either. I can't receive or send video or the option is grayed out [00:16] KingBeast, depends on what videocard, so state yours ? [00:16] OerHeks, 9400gt [00:16] lewellyn, how long did you let that screen continue? [00:16] KingBeast, no problem AFAIK [00:17] bandit5432: it's been going since i recorded that video ;) [00:17] lewellyn, ew [00:17] OerHeks, ok thanks [00:17] so over a half hour now. [00:17] escott, I removed them and still nothing. [00:17] a half hour is more than enough time for a blinky cursor to go away, i'd assume. [00:17] lewellyn, what hardware are you using? [00:18] it's a D865PERL board with a 2.66 GHz P4, 3 GB RAM, and a fun assortment of PCI cards [00:18] escott: Never mind. I can't do this right now. [00:19] lewellyn, try changing the boot options when you start the boot process see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Changing_the_CD.27s_Default_Boot_Options [00:19] GreekFreak, what happens when you run that file directly? [00:19] i would try with acpi=off option first [00:19] GreekFreak, also why would "theo" have write access to /log [00:20] bandit5432: oh. that's what that symbol means. that's very unintuitive :/ [00:20] lewellyn, i dont like it myself but after several years you get used to it [00:20] escott, uhm.. it says 'command not found' [00:20] bandit5432: i'm going to go spend some time fighting with it. i'll bbiab now that i know how to get to something usefulish. [00:21] lewellyn, all good have fun you might pull some of the pci catrds and see what happens [00:21] GreekFreak, how are you trying to execute the script [00:21] turn off the boot splash while you are at it [00:22] escott, I just typed the filename in the terminal === Granis` is now known as Granis [00:22] my sound device configured wrong -- need help! [00:22] GreekFreak, can you paste a terminal session. start with "ls -l /the/path/to/the/script" then "cat /the/path/to/the/script" then "pwd" and finally what you are doing to try and run it [00:23] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11956889#post11956889 [00:23] escott, gimme a sec [00:23] got a sony vaio VGN-AR31E [00:23] sound device not working properly -- guessing the configuration is messed up [00:25] bandit5432: yeah. next up is yanking everything but the video card. trying all the likely boot options left me at a cursor again and no activity from the cd-rom [00:25] need help with wrongly configured sound device -- loudspeaker not working -- but can hear sound through headphones when plugged in [00:25] escott, https://gist.github.com/2765665 [00:25] bandit5432: how do i turn off the boot splash btw? [00:25] lewellyn, let me look i never remember off the top of my head [00:26] k. i'll start unscrewing cards in the mean time :) [00:26] my sound device configured wrong -- need help! [00:26] GreekFreak, ~/Documents is not in your path. so you have to give a full path to the executable. a full path could be ./background_work.cron_jobs. this is still not going to work because "theo" wont be able to write to /log [00:27] lewellyn, have you tried booting with nomodeset ? [00:27] lewellyn: in /etc/default/grub remove "splash" then save and do 'sudo update-grub' [00:27] sry I'm back, so how do I change username ? [00:27] bastidrazor, from the livecd [00:28] i changed my login password and now my keyring is asking me what the hell? [00:28] but i dont know my old password [00:28] how to fix? [00:28] RealEyes, delete your keyring and create a new one [00:29] !username [00:29] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:29] A quick question - How do I shutdown in Gnome 3. I only have a suspend button? [00:29] escott, why won't 'theo' be able to write? I just ran it as './background_work.cron_jobs' and the error was 'No such file or directory'. Nothing about permissions [00:29] lewellyn, F6 at the Install/Memtest/Check CD for Defects screen. Then delete the “quiet” and “splash” from the boot command line and continue booting from the CD [00:30] Gyro54, are you logged into the console? [00:30] bandit5432: awseome thanks. i'll try that [00:30] lewellyn, no problem i wonder where its hanging [00:30] yanking out all the pci cards didn't help. [00:30] GreekFreak, logs are owned by root. "theo" is not root. so "theo" will not be able to write to the logs [00:30] bandit5432: if i get something useful, i'll surely let you know :) [00:30] escott, how do i delete the keyring? [00:30] I can be but I thought I could shutdown from the GUI [00:31] escott, 1. If I rename it to something else will it be ok? and 2. Can I not make the cron job run the file as root? [00:31] hi i have a question [00:32] anybody there [00:32] GreekFreak, the cronjob will be run as root (provided it is in roots crontab) but in that case the script should be owned by root (its a security risk to allow a user like theo to own a script that root will execute) [00:32] compdoc: I only have a suspend option from the desktop and can't see how to change it to "shutdown" [00:33] lewellyn, is it a dell? [00:33] RealEyes, probably ~/.gnome2/keyrings [00:33] Anyone knows why the audio/video call menu is grayed out in empathy on Jabber protocol ? Using Ubuntu 12.04. Thanks. [00:33] escott, so all I need to do is add it to the /etc/crontab and run as root, right? and change the permissions of the script with sudo to be owned by root? [00:34] escott, login.keyrings or user.keystore or the whole folder? [00:34] VideoBear, do you have the plugin for video calls enabled? [00:34] GreekFreak, it really should be (a) owned by root:root (b) placed in a root owned folder like /root/bin [00:35] RealEyes, presumably the files will be enough. i dont know what the consequences of removing your keyring files will be, but if you dont have a password im not sure what other options you have [00:35] well, i do have a password [00:35] it just doesnt match the keyring [00:36] KingBeast: I didn't figure empathy used plugins. Strange thing is, it's disabled for some contacts, not all, but always fails. [00:36] hello, how do I delete all files in a current folder except the "curentdir" folder ? [00:36] can i haz a question [00:36] if ubuntu gives me another critical error, im going back to arch [00:37] KingBeast: no [00:37] VideoBear, sorry I'm thinking pidgin [00:38] lewellyn, ok I was just going to suggest checking the bios for the OS install mode [00:38] bandit5432: removing quiet and splash wasn't useful. it still feels like it isn't actually attempting to load the kernel. i get the same behavior with "Check disc for defects". i'm booted into memtest successfully from the cd though. [00:38] sorry I didn't illustrated it properly, I have in the current folder, file1.txt, file2.ext folder1, folder1 "exceptionfolder" I want to delete all except teh "exeptionfolder" [00:38] KingBeast: No problem. One contact I'm testing with use Pidgin on Windows though. [00:38] escott, you're going a little ahead of me here. So I need to create the file using sudo (e.g. 'sudo gvim background_work.cron_jobs') and change it to an executable using sudo? And how do I move it to a root folder since I'm not allowed access to them, not even using 'sudo cd /root/' [00:39] lewellyn, did you check the iso checksum? or try booting the disk to live system in another box? [00:39] lewellyn, i have burnt some bad install disks before [00:39] bandit5432: i let the disc verify after burning, so i suspect it's not totally bum. [00:39] How do you shutdown in Gnome 3 for the desktop? I only have a suspend button? [00:40] CAN I HAZ A QUESTION [00:40] i'll try it in another box after i let memtest run a bit "just in case" ;) [00:40] lewellyn, so frustrating [00:40] escott, $ sudo chown -R root:root background_work.cron_jobs ? [00:40] TadekMocarz, ask dont ask to ask [00:40] OK [00:40] bandit5432: yes. i expect that ubuntu's not compatible with my hardware somehow. [00:40] escott, sorry, maybe not the -R [00:41] GreekFreak, (a) never use sudo with gvim. gksudo. (b) I would think chowning is easier, and (c) you can sudo mv [00:41] i was always interested in this mystery: when there are students, and they live 2-3 persons/per room, HOW and WHEN do they masturbate? its serious question [00:41] kick him please [00:41] ? [00:41] where is a op when you need one [00:41] and doesn't ubuntu ship with sudoedit? [00:41] why kick me [00:41] hey guys, right now i'm sitting at my server prompt. i want to install gnome so i have a gui for other people to use when they need to remote in with vnc. should i just install gnome-shell ? or the ubuntu-desktop?

[00:43] bandit5432: in source distributions of sudo (such as on other platforms), it creates a sudoedit wrapper that copies the file to $TEMP, launches an unprivileged editor, then copies the file back with the same permissions [00:44] elky, ty!

And why should I never sudo with gvim? [00:46] think it comes with a stock install of X [00:46] !gksudo | GreekFreak [00:46] GreekFreak: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

Have you every heard of a server blocking an IP address after you do a tracert? [00:47] bastidrazor, thanks was paying more attention to my dinner [00:47] escott, bastidrazor, thanks [00:47] * lewellyn is one of those old-school people who believes in "run with least possible privileges" and therefore prefers things like sudoedit over sudo $EDITOR ;) [00:48] lewellyn, there is no root user so its not really a big deal i would think [00:48] visudo [00:48] is there any shortcut to switch tabs in terminal ?

[01:28] Polah: the post-release updates version is the newer one, right? [01:28] Golfgeo: depends on your gfx card [01:28] since it's not "recommended" i'm hesitant... [01:28] is it even worth having a 6850 in a linux box? [01:28] lol. [01:29] Golfgeo: nvidia-current-updates [01:29] crapper, I hate selecting drivers for vid-cards, had to many negative experiances.. [01:30] ^ I feel your pain.. [01:30] k, will try the nvidia-current-updates :-) [01:30] Golfgeo: the 295.40 driver has regression issues. [01:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1000084/ <-- escott this are the list of my installed apps, i dunno how i got so many wondering how i got it installed in my system but pls tell me which one is safe to remove [01:30] Thanks guy's! :-) [01:30] yw [01:30] L3top: regression issues hmm, Don't like the sound of that haha [01:31] me is off and thanks! :-D [01:31] DarwinSurvivor: yesterday, when I thought CCSM and other tweak tools were failing to adjust my Launcher opacity... it was just that the launcher was black over black background, and Unity's launcher has a certain minimum opacity (i.e. maximum transparency) limit that interacted with that to make it appear as if no change was made. [01:31] So, it works :P [01:32] nvidia 302.11 seem to be running ok [01:33] Hey guys, quick question: Does anyone have any recommendation for a vnc server? I've tried the one that ubuntu includes but it doesn't give me the option to tweak some of the more bandwidth-hogging items [01:37] quit [01:38] where can I download the full DVD of Ubuntu 12.04 , not just the live CD ? [01:41] goodnight [01:41] I'm having alot of problems getting ldap authentication to work with 12.04, previously on 10.04, 10.10, 11.04, 11.10 i was able to use zentyal-desktop to streamline the process of setting up ldap login on our workstations, however on 12.04 this zentyal-desktop does all the things it did before, no errrors.... but now lightdm login just shows the wallpaper or a black screen. [01:42] why opening new tab in terminal creates those ugly thick edges ? [01:43] Because it dislikes everyone === jiohdi_ is now known as jiohdi [01:47] Does anyone in here use Linux on a Powerpc? [01:48] I have a Power Mac G5 which has Debian installed on it. I cannot install any updates. [01:48] i need an equalizer (some ability to adjust bass), was wondering if anyone can help [01:48] donnie, #debian [01:48] Tried that. [01:48] Nobody answered. [01:48] donnie, it's not supported here, so dont ask [01:49] hey guise - need to make a DVD with Ubuntu - playable in a DVD player...best program? I have a bunch of quicktime movies I want to slap on there. [01:49] halakar, devede perhaps, though not heard of using mov before. perhaps convert with ffmpeg or handbrake first [01:50] may i do all of this through a GUI ? [01:50] halakar, handbrake has a gui [01:50] i'm installing realtek drivers for alsa atm [01:50] neat. I come from the land of KDE - there was something called K9Copy or perhaps avidemux ? [01:50] I suppose that's an easy way of saying "I don't know" I will deal with it. Thanks for being SO POLITE. [01:51] donnie i have used it whats the questoin you have? [01:51] donnie, no, this is ubuntu only support, NOT debian. they have a channel for support : #debian [01:51] bandit5432, feel free to take this to #debian [01:52] good idea, i'll ask #debian [01:52] bazhang, he didnt ask a question yet maye he wants to switch to ubuntu [01:52] Need help! I get an error - "ERROR: real size does not equal to size (0 != 4083007488)." when I try to mount a shared partition (shared by Windows and Ubuntu on my dual boot system). [01:52] bandit5432, he did. please take it to #debian if you wish to support him [01:53] Well, I'm using Debian so..... [01:53] On a Power Mac G5 [01:53] sorry donnit i sent you pm [01:53] !ot | donnie [01:53] donnie: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:53] its not polite to talk about linux here only ubuntu [01:54] I use Ubuntu as well. [01:54] :C [01:55] so i installed realtek audio drivers and atm have no sound [01:55] i forgot why i stopped hanging out here i remember now [01:55] which are the drivers my system uses on windows [01:56] for example, alsamixer when opened throws this error: 'cannot open mixer: no such device" [01:57] bazhang, I cannot locate a package called Handbrake in the software center. [01:57] Question about VNC Servers: I just installed 12.04, and want to host a VNC server on it for remote connections (Either from my local network, or possibly over SSH.) What is the "best" vnc server software package? Suggestions? [01:57] !info handbrake [01:57] Package handbrake does not exist in precise [01:57] !handbrake | halakar there is also a PPA [01:57] halakar there is also a PPA: handbrake is a an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. - http://handbrake.fr [01:58] Nobody is answering my question in the Windows chatroom, so I figured I'd ask here since my question is about a dual boot system. [01:58] Okay, I was here a few hours ago, but here's the quick version. I just got a Lenovo thinkpad that came with their version of Windows 7. There a Windows partition, a recovery partition, and a system_drv partition (whatever that means). I want to first install the official windows7 (instead of the Lenovo version), and then shrink Windows' partition to 100GB, and create an ext4 partition for Ubuntu, and an NTFS partition for storage (~300GB). [01:59] Would I have to get the recovery partition into a DVD? Or is it okay to start installing the official version without creating a recovery DVD? [01:59] Etale, boot from livecd, or with gparted livecd, as for windows issues try in ##windows [02:00] i suppose no-one can help me with my lack of sound? [02:00] In ##windows nobody is answering... [02:00] Etale, then wait a moment, its been just a couple of minutes since you asked, and this is NOT windows support [02:00] cipher__, what do you see in alsamixer? [02:00] Hello, what would be the easiest to share files between two computers in a network? Setting up an FTP server or Samba server? [02:00] Etale: the recovery partition would restore the machine to the custom Dell version anyway, so you decide what you do there.. and getting no answer in the right place is no excuse for going off-topic elsewhere [02:01] Etale, alsamixer cannot open, 'no such device' [02:01] Etale, all pre-installed windows pc's have asked me to create a recovery dvd, do that first [02:01] szal, it's about a dual boot system. So I figured it's okay for both. [02:01] Etale, installed (tried to) realtek hd audio drivers [02:02] Etale: other than that, why not pre-partition? way easier than shrinking a non-empty partition [02:02] szal, what do you mean? [02:03] Etale: wipe the disk, either all of it or sans the recovery partition, then create a partition layout to your liking & use that to install your OSes on [02:04] By wipe out do you mean format, szal? [02:04] Etale: delete & create new [02:04] Etale, as I said, using the livecd or the gparted live cd from the very first [02:04] formatting alone doesn't change the partition layout [02:04] What is the easiest way to share files over a network? [02:05] can anyone help me with re-achieving sound [02:05] I'm trying to build a high end computer, and it must run ubuntu. [02:05] bazhang, part of the issue is that I want to reinstall windows to get rid of the Lenovo stuff... [02:05] How can I figure out if particular components will be compatible? [02:05] cipher__, have you tried Alsa? [02:05] !hcl | Gushings [02:05] Gushings: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [02:05] Etale, and what I said will accomplish that [02:05] Thank you. [02:06] I installed realtek audio drivers for alsa, it apparently did not work, and i have no 'sound devices' [02:06] hey, I have a couple of questions regarding sound. 1) how do I do a recording of my desktop and all that's passing trough my soundcard at the same time? 2) How do I hear what's comming from the Line In? [02:07] You mean a windows livecd? [02:07] (bazhang) [02:07] Etale, of course no, an ubuntu livecd [02:08] How would an ubuntu livecd help me accomplish a reinstallation of Windows as well? I figured I should reinstall Windows first because otherwise it would nuke the boot. [02:08] Etale, it has gparted on it, thats how [02:09] Hm [02:09] bazhang, walk me through it. I install Ubuntu, use gparted to partition, and then install the official version of Windows? Wouldn't that destroy the boot? [02:10] Etale, no. you partition first using gparted, install windows, then finally install Ubuntu. [02:10] Oh, gotcha. [02:10] And I use the partitioning from the gparted which I will get from the Ubuntu livecd. [02:11] Etale, or from a gparted livecd [02:11] guys i recently upgraded to 12.04 from 11.10, and now after restart system hangs up [02:11] lvm home recipe on a machine with only 2gb of ram always sets the machine up to fail (it will freeze) [02:11] Right! [02:11] ? [02:11] i need my system back with datas [02:12] opakavic, install from backups [02:12] bazhang: if install a new one on the same place, my data wouldn't lost right? [02:13] i mean the new one is 12.04 [02:13] opakavic, sure it would. did you create a separate home partition? === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [02:13] bazhang: no :( [02:13] home has so many wanted files :( [02:13] any help , please do [02:15] bazhang: there is no separate home partition [02:17] opakavic, in future it would be a good idea to have one. for now, just install all the backups of the important data you had [02:17] What can I use in Ubuntu to make 3D video graphics? Preferably something easy to learn. [02:18] bazhang: see the worst part is, i did a blind upgrade with a single backup ! [02:18] test [02:18] bazhang: see the worst part is, i did a blind upgrade without a single backup ! [02:18] opakavic, well then learn to backup important data; if you do not back it up, that can happen [02:19] yes! [02:19] what if i now do a new installation on the same place !, my home folder ? [02:20] <trophies> who is in ##Hardware needs a ban ! [02:20] hi! how to list current video driver? [02:22] done ! [02:22] Hi - can anyone tell me how to get 12.04 to boot in text mode only? Seems to ignore the inittab [02:22] opakavic: if you did an upgrade, then even if the os is corrupt, your files are still there, just put the hard drive into another machine [02:23] or did i miss an important part of this conversation? [02:23] What can I use in Ubuntu to make 3D video graphics? Preferably something easy to learn.

Upon installing via burnt ISO it simply locks up during installation. What might be possible fixes? [02:26] Smashcat, you wish to never have an xserver? [02:26] bazhang: yes [02:27] robertzaccour: i've never personally found an easy way to do 3d video, or at least to do it well, any easier package i have seen is highly restrictive, i understand your reservations though [02:28] bazhang: This machine is going to run headless, so there's no point in running X at boot [02:28] the lvm expert_recipie section of this page doesn't work : https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/amd64/preseed-contents.html [02:28] using it results in a red screen during debian-installer preseed [02:28] help me..!! compiz can't run in my ubuntu 12.04 [02:29] peterl, whats the name of the easier one you're thinking of? === esm is now known as Guest51305 [02:29] Hey I just installed 12.04 lts and I still have 11.10 installed but there is data in 11.10 that i want to bring into 12.04 What is an easy way to do this?

[02:32] robertzaccour: come to think of it, they were windows platform anyway, though from a quick search around, some people suggest moonlight 3d, i can't vouch for it myself, but i can suggest you have a look, from what i've skipped through it seems to be a less bewildering version of blender [02:33] exit [02:33] Playtime: don't use Wubi, free some space on your HDD & do a real install [02:33] It locks up when installing via ISO [02:34] thanks [02:34] is moonlight 3d in the repos? [02:34] Playtime: Try VirtualBox and test it in a Virtual Instance.

I am completely new to Ubuntu, so I am bad at navigating it and I haven't used it in a long time. I couldn't access any music, pictures, documents, etc. Is that normal? [02:52] I'm getting a "is not co-installable with" error when i try and use dpkg [02:52] maybe fresh libreoffice install will be more better [02:52] Everything else being equal, would it be worth $120 to exchange a laptop with 15.6" 720p (1366 x 768) screen and a 2nd gen Intel Core i5-2450M (2.50GHz 3MB L3 Cache - 2 Cores plus Hyperthreading) processor for one with 15.6" 1080p (1920 x 1080) screen and a 3rd gen Intel Core i7-3610QM (2.30GHz 6MB L3 Cache - 4 Cores plus Hyperthreading) processor? Both systems are going to run Ubuntu.

[02:54] Yeah, I tried to do it the "real" way, but it was giving me weird problems [02:54] I forgot to remove the repo, so it updated from the repo. I just redownloaded the old version [02:54] Nk26, what repo, from where [02:55] bazhang ppa:shiki/mediainfo [02:55] Nk26, contact the PPA maintainer [02:56] Nk26, in the mean time use ppa-purge to get rid of that ppa [02:56] !ppa-purge | Nk26 [02:56] Nk26: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [02:57] ok thanks [02:59] does anyone here know the environment variable to use Wine without ALSA?

[03:02] how could I see the copy speed (MB/s) for a transfert using cp? [03:03] I'm trying to figure how to run an iso in virtualbox without having to burn it to a disc [03:03] my ubuntu installation is in a partial upgrade (from 11.10 to 12.04), can anyone help me repair it? [03:03] vicatcu, update and upgrade? that or install fresh [03:05] robertzaccour: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1000164/ [03:06] weird [03:06] Okay, I just burnt another ISO onto my disc and tried once again. [03:06] mombo00: you could install iotop for a cli view of your drive i/o (requires sudo to run). i use the very old-school gkrellm for an xorg meter with all my drives' throughputs. [03:06] vicatcu: did you try via synaptic? [03:06] naryfa: I guess I don't know how to do that [03:07] Got into the trial/install options. Selected trial, it ran perfectly, hit install, chose inside windows 7, it said remove installation media and hit enter. Doing so just booted up windows and ran wubi, wubi will always give me an error durnig expanding. [03:08] naryfa: what is synaptic? [03:08] zykotick9: k, I was more looking at a simple cli tool like time but for speed [03:08] It's a trackpad driver, if I'm not mistaken. [03:08] mombo00: i'm not aware of any. i'd be interested though ;) [03:09] vicatcu: it's a very good package manager [03:09] vicatcu: sudo apt-get install synaptic === Zorro is now known as Guest57495 [03:09] * zykotick9 thinks apt-get and apt-cache makes a really great package manager ;) [03:10] naryfa: ok installing [03:10] This is going to be my 19th time getting this same error now, and it's really starting to piss me off. [03:11] zykotick9: I'm glad it works for you [03:11] naryfa: works for you too ;) you installed synaptic with it [03:11] naryfa: ok it's installed and i just did a reload... [03:11] how to change the directory using inode value ? [03:12] naryfa: so how does this make things better :) [03:12] jiltdil: i don't think that makes much sense. directories are stored in inodes (or some other filesystem metadata) [03:12] vicatcu: you should have a filter on the left saying "upgradable" or something like that [03:12] jiltdil: inodes for files i could see [03:13] naryfa: yup found it [03:13] zykotick9: seems like pv -p might work, haven't understood a way to connect it to cp tho [03:13] vicatcu: also see if you have a filter called "broken" or something like that, I'm not on Ubuntu so I don't remember exactly the names [03:13] hi! [03:14] data throughput question: [03:14] ugh from computer to computer, I can only get about 40MB/s for a file transfer using SCP. can someone verify this is reasonable? iperf tops out at 110-115MB/s. I have people keep telling me it's all encryption overhead. [03:14] does VirtualBox use the allocated RAM when its not running? [03:14] mombo00: is pv a command? [03:14] naryfa: nothing shows up under broken [03:14] robertzaccour, i believe it does reserve it yes [03:14] vicatcu: try to mark all upgradable and see if it will take them [03:14] meaning you cant use it while it is allocated to a running guest OS [03:15] uw, you mean that I'm not running full system specs when VB is closed? [03:15] if the vms are ON, you are not running full system spec [03:15] zykotick9: yea I'm still trying to figure out the manual [03:15] if the VMs are off, you should have all of the RAM installed available to the host system [03:15] uw, what about after its turned off? [03:16] naryfa: Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade.... libjpeg62-dev: [03:16] uw, oh ok thanks. Just wanted to make sure I could have it all when VB is closed [03:16] check #vbox for more accurate info [03:16] thanks [03:16] Fuck it, I give up. I can't get Ubuntu. [03:16] vicatcu: is that the exact line? or did you truncate it? [03:16] robertzaccour, no prob [03:16] mombo00: ahhh "pv - Shell pipeline element to meter data passing through" interesting. [03:16] robertzaccour: I've never seen the vbox process use all the memory it can have [03:16] Playtime: don't give up, ever [03:17] Playtime, its not for everybody [03:17] naryfa, actually i just clicked the Mark All Upgrades button just now and I got a subset of entries highlighted, so just click Apply? [03:17] I've seen the same error 20 times in a row now, regardless of what is done. Assistance is unheard of. I'm done. [03:17] vicatcu: try [03:18] Playtime: what error is that [03:18] Playtime, you mean "free Assistance" is unheard of [03:18] Playtime: what stopping you to make a native installation for a dual boot system! [03:18] naryfa: ok it's going... exciting... [03:18] * vicatcu is easily amused [03:18] people have lives too you know. sorry people cant drop everything to fix your problem.

I tried dragging and dropping music with rhythymbox but its not working. :-( [03:20] I burnt the ISO onto a disc [03:20] Boot from CD drive [03:20] Install from there [03:20] It then boots up windows [03:20] and runs Wubi [03:20] I had better luck with wubi than with a regular install. [03:20] Playtime, stop with the enter key [03:20] vicatcu: i don't know ,thats way i was asking Playtime [03:20] Playtime: you have to run your computer from the CD itself [03:20] zykotick9, do i gota install it.. or just put in a command [03:20] Is there something I need to install to allow Ubuntu 12.04 to see a 3TB disk? [03:20] I did. [03:21] Brustofski: if you have testdisk it's probably there [03:21] gbc: then look out for the truoblesome when updaing/upgrading your ubuntu box. [03:21] Playtime: if you did, it would've booted to LIVE Ubuntu image, not Windows [03:21] but somehow I hosed it all up in the booting functions now I have a 20GB "disk" in the windows Dir I cant get into. [03:21] Playtime, do you have grub installed? what is your disk partition set up like? [03:21] (disk was working fine in 11.04, but in 12.04 it can't access it. [03:21] Anybody know how to deal with that ? [03:21] How do you delete a Wubi dual boot? [03:21] vicatcu: how did it go? [03:22] Dios|: Uninstall Ubuntu in Windows. [03:22] uw: http://puu.sh/w5jX [03:22] naryfa, it's still going :) [03:22] no kidding!! [03:22] is the "alternate" cd the same as the "text" cd? [03:22] naryfa: currently Installing and removing software [03:22] lewellyn: yes [03:22] Is it just like uninstalling a normal program from Control Panel? [03:22] how to change the directory using inode value ? [03:22] ok. that's not immediately clear on the download page :/ [03:22] * lewellyn grabs it in hopes that it will load the kernel :( [03:23] my 100GB regular ubunto 11.04 install is hosed up now too. cannot upgrade or update at all. [03:23] Playtime: I would do this, if one of these drives is actually an entire drive, put a Linux on it. [03:23] !alternate | lewellyn [03:23] lewellyn: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [03:23] says it has a list hosed up in var somewhere. [03:23] narfya: ok it crashed: "Changes applied. Not all changes and updates succeeded. For further details of the failure please expand the 'Details panel below. [03:23] zykotick9: http://gb.releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso ;) [03:23] vicatcu: expand it and give me the results [03:24] used the same install CD for both installs. [03:24] naryfa: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1000176/ [03:24] How do you sync an iphone/ipod with ubuntu 10.04 or 12.04? [03:24] Cuz banshee and rhythymbox are giving me issues with my iphone [03:24] Playtime: is there anything interesting in the log file [03:25] zykotick9, Thanks [03:25] Oh crap, seems that 12.04 can't see large disks properly. Have to reinstall 11.04. doh! [03:25] Brustofski: glad to help [03:25] Any one have my question answer? [03:26] jiltdil: please ask again :) [03:26] jiltdil, please repeat the question [03:26] how to change the directory using inode value ? [03:26] Playtime: so have you tried the naive installation before .. [03:26] Playtime, D: yikes what kind of set up do you have going there? Are all those drives? [03:26] *native. [03:27] Two are drives, the rest are split from C: [03:27] zykotick9, was in mint 13 RC went to to ubuntu 12.04 on usb stick.. made a misteak and formated my usb drive!! [03:27] Yes, I have, sary [03:27] Playtime: nice , how was the experiance .. [03:27] Hi there, I need some help in an specific topic, I'm using ubuntu 9.10 and I'm quite comfortable everything was stable on my P4 but, not I can't get updates or install anything else in my distro. There is a way to solve this issue... [03:27] ? [03:27] Brustofski: photorec saved me once ;) i was sure happy it existed [03:28] A whole lot of nothing. [03:28] !eolupgrades | eduardo1981 [03:28] eduardo1981: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [03:28] eduardo1981: P4 ! [03:28] Playtime: do you remember how you configured grub? also, how are these partitions managed? you may be better off live booting and installing that way [03:28] eduardo1981: yes, the solution is upgrading to a still-supported version [03:29] vicatcu: damn, weird [03:29] eduardo1981: do exactl what bazhang point you to . [03:29] eduardo1981, upgrade to a supported version see the link above [03:29] thanks @ubottu, yes @sary I'm using a Pentium 4 at home [03:29] eduardo1981, ubottu is a bot [03:29] eduardo1981: ah , gotchya [03:29] naryfa: hm... right... :) [03:30] I do not, it's been a long time since I touched it. As for my drives there, I shrunk C: and made a new partitions from that I shrink/expand them as I need, Z: is another physical drive. [03:31] zykotick9, Looks like its doing pretty good so far... i see 3 folders with alot in it... drive had a lot of junk on it... Thats easy to get back... But it had all my desktop backgrounds that took alot of time geting themes.. video's from youtube downloader and from minitube... and 3 gig worth of photo edits [03:31] @szal - Question but can I use a P4 2.66 mghz with newer versions [03:31] ? [03:31] I just have 512 MB [03:31] Brustofski: i hope you aren't expecting filenames (cause you probably won't get any) [03:32] I've to say that 9.10 works fast in this old machine [03:32] eduardo1981, probably Lubuntu is better for you [03:32] !lubuntu | eduardo1981 [03:32] eduardo1981: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [03:32] Playtime: what you mean ' a whole lot of nothing ' , what i meant is did get into any sort of truoble. [03:32] eduardo1981: gnome alone wants to use about 500MB RAM often [03:33] eduardo1981, so upgrade to a supported version, add lubuntu-desktop package, then choose lxde from the login window [03:33] It just simply does nothing. [03:33] zykotick9, not worried about that... as long as i can tell my saved mozila folder... [03:33] "Installing..." and the window is blank and it freezes. [03:33] Playtime: you mean the live-cd while trying a native installation .! [03:33] Brustofski: ummm, well - if i remember correctly, you just get a list of files with the selected extensions... [03:34] zykotick9, not even putting them in there folders... [03:34] @bazhang - Can I convert an ubuntu in lubuntu ? [03:34] Brustofski: i doubt it - filenames and folders are gone, only the raw files on the disk are left [03:34] eduardo1981, yes. [03:34] !purelxde | eduardo1981 [03:34] eduardo1981: If you want to remove all !KDE, !GNOME and !XFCE packages and have a default !Lubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde » [03:34] Mmm.. I'm no longer sure I follow you, sary. Sorry. [03:34] i guess i lost all my saved bookmarks and passwords [03:35] Playtime, when you put the cd in and start the system, it should look completely different, not boot up into windows [03:35] Playtime: are you able to install ubuntu from the live-cd . [03:36] check your BIOS or EFI to make sure that cdrom is first on the boot list [03:36] Mm... I see that in the page says: "Note, this applies only to Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise). If you're using 11.10 go here. If you're using 11.04, go here. " And I'm still with ubuntu 9.10 [03:36] vicatcu: I don't know where to point now [03:37] What happens is, it brings me to trial or install, clicking trial does exactly that, clicking install (depending on from there or in-trial) will either ask me to remove disc and hit enter (it then boots windows and runs wubi) or it opens an window marked "Installing..." that is completely blank and frozen, while the rest of the UI continues to operate. [03:37] eduardo1981, so upgrade to a supported version is the First STep [03:37] eduardo1981, from the eolupgrades Link I sent you at the very start [03:38] naryfa: running it again... [03:38] vicatcu: try to google for the error [03:38] vicatcu: I don't know why most of it is xorg related [03:39] vicatcu: most of these errors have dependency problems [03:39] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades <------- eduardo1981 [03:39] vicatcu: xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion depends on xorg-video-abi-11; however: Package xorg-video-abi-11 is not installed. [03:39] Ok, I'm checking documentation of EOL bazhang, thanks [03:40] vicatcu: you have an ati graphics card? [03:40] yea [03:40] for sure [03:41] ati mobility radeon hd5870 [03:41] vicatcu: download their driver from the website, what I understand is that Ubuntu repos have old packages [03:42] vicatcu: xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion depends on xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901); however: Version of xserver-xorg-core on system is 2:1.10.4-1ubuntu4.2. [03:42] ok i'll see what i can fined [03:42] find [03:42] naryfa, what the repos have is the modified drivers to follow updates, which the ones from the site wont === Frankye1 is now known as SUCCHIAMERDA [03:43] wilee-nilee: I see, but then the ones in repos prevent him from updates, and apt has errors, if you know better, please help === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [03:44] vicatcu, I looked at it earlier there were 405 held upgrades [03:44] Playtime: if you insist on installing Ubuntu from Windows through Wubi .. then follow steps here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wubi https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [03:44] naryfa, I looked at it earlier there were 405 held upgrades [03:45] Playtime: i would look in the log file for any kind of errors. [03:45] wilee-nilee: and what do you think? [03:46] Playtime: just to show you how trouble is Wubi and you're not alone with this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1929278 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1802427 [03:46] I'm still digging through that log, it's extremely long. [03:46] bazhang, isn't the same update directly from the automatic updater from 9.10 to 10.03 LTS ? [03:46] naryfa, I have not been following, what I see though with advise on drivers is that the only time to use the drivers from the site is when nothing else will run, not sure if that is the case here. Or if a user is savvy enough to run this way [03:46] As for the guides, not helpful, since they have no information to where my error is. I'll take a look at those forums links though [03:47] eduardo1981, did you read the links carefully? [03:47] Playtime: alright , you can post the log file to paste.ubuntu.com if you want some assistance . [03:47] and good news for libreoffice now import was done and 100 percent better then openoffice [03:47] naryfa, I waqs just questioning the broad generalized statement of drivers ages in the repos, there is a reason they are older they are modified to run in the release that can run them. [03:48] wilee-nilee: I have no other option then, what I see in errors is that apt is crying about dependencies. Dependencies in repos are apparently old. Unless he's got testing repos enabled and some packages were upgraded and some not. [03:48] bazhang, I'm on it, I'm just asking [03:48] wilee-nilee: +1 totally agree ;) [03:49] zykotick9, you would know the truth. :) [03:49] LibreOffice requires a recent version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for full functionality so i installed perfect and now libre works amazing [03:49] wilee-nilee: out of repo drivers is so rarely needed [03:49] Playtime: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1955991 [03:49] hi wilee-nilee [03:49] wilee-nilee: you see the synaptic output I posted? [03:49] vicatcu, I wish I had more expertise in drivers, I just don't. [03:49] wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1000176/ [03:51] Playtime: what a truoble , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1871823 .. if i were you , i'd backup my data and go for a native installation. [03:51] vicatcu, not much I can do with that without a context, and even then I doubt I would know. [03:51] wilee-nilee: ya i understand [03:51] looks like a wall of text it has been a long day. vicatcu ;) [03:52] lol no worries [03:53] when I run top, I can see that there are 6 ruby processes. However, when I run ps auxw | grep ruby, only one shows up. why is that? [03:53] sary, one of your links proved helpful! I've got a good chunk of reading to do now. [03:54] asahi: top or htop? [03:54] zykotick9: top [03:54] asahi: probably threads [03:54] asahi: ok, checking if you where seeing threads (didn't think top showed those by default, and i know htop does) [03:55] Playtime: nice , good luck. :) [03:55] ps -A also shows 6 ruby processes [03:56] Since upgrading to Precise the plus and underscore no longer work. The keys work but to access those symbols I have to press shift and nothing happens. I have been trying to find a solution but have found nothing online. Any thoughts? === Colonel_Panic is now known as Houlihan [03:56] Playtime: similar to the error you get .. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1796547.html [03:57] so banshee doesnt actually edit music metadata of the actual the files, how do I force it to do this? [03:59] naryfa: re-running synaptic seemed to succeed the second time [03:59] vicatcu: did you install the new driver? [03:59] Playtime: https://answers.launchpad.net/wubi/+question/128647 [03:59] vicatcu: or what? [03:59] gah. the "alternative" disc also never gets to the point of loading the kernel after selecting to install from the boot menu. :/ [03:59] no i literally just tried "Mark All Upgrades" again [04:00] and it worked this time [04:00] good then [04:00] naryfa: i guess how do i know it really worked? [04:00] anyone know how i can boot a ubuntu install directly into the gui of an application without a DE? [04:00] naryfa: I'm happy [04:00] * lewellyn is really surprised to be having such issues on an intel-branded motherboard, especially when at least 3 other OSes install fine. [04:00] vicatcu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [04:00] narfy: restart and see if ubuntu boots :) [04:00] vicatcu: lol, try [04:01] bazhang - About the requirements... in the file /etc/apt/sources.list - I don't understand exactly the orders.. should I have only the mentioned sources lists or I should append those lists to my file ? [04:01] narfya: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded. [04:01] narfya: the following packages have been kept back: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [04:01] narfya: the following packages have been kept back: gnome-sudoku gnomine unity-scope-musicstores [04:02] vicatcu: you can probably force the upgrade in synaptic upgradable filter [04:02] vicatcu: if you really want to [04:02] lewellyn: what seems to be the issue , could you state it in a nutshell please :) [04:03] * webnet is ready to pull hair out... UGHGHG. lol [04:03] sary: the install cd never loads the kernel. [04:03] for some reason unity starts in the "GNOME classic" session. how do I stop that? [04:03] sary: if i hit "Install Ubuntu [04:03] grr [04:03] anyone know what i can search google for. my searches have revealed nothing to me so perhaps im searching the wrong terms? [04:04] sary: if i hit "Install Ubuntu" once the drive's spun down, it doesn't spin back up. and it's across multiple drives and 2 different install discs. [04:04] naryfa: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [04:04] vicatcu: I guess it's ok then [04:04] lewellyn, i had that issue with my server. try the alternate install cd. worked for me [04:04] naryfa: nice... thanks for the guidance! [04:05] naryfa: wish me luck, i'm restarting [04:05] webnet: just used the alternate cd with multiple drives, too [04:05] vicatcu: I didn't do much, but no problem, I'm glad something worked [04:05] vicatcu: go ahead [04:05] and i don't have a pxe-capable nic lying about, else i'd try pxe too. [04:05] lewellyn, hmmm. trust me i feel your pain. believe it or not pxe didnt work for me at all [04:06] lewellyn, i have 4 of the same model of server using the same processor sand just using the same usb disc drive for install [04:06] lewellyn: did you md5 test the iso before burnning to the CD media , also its better to burn with slow speed . [04:06] sary: yes. and i burnt at the same speed as this media likes for every other os install disc (18x) [04:06] 3 took fine 4th wouldnt work on the same cd i used for the other 3 alternate worked [04:07] the same media also works in the same drives in different machines [04:07] lewellyn, sounds like the same issue i had [04:07] i'm starting to think it's something specific to the Intel D865PERL motherboard and ubuntu. [04:07] I just wanted to come in here and say, you guys suck for not including Qt 4.8 in 12.04 LTS [04:07] Yeah , usb installation medai is much better , it will aslo save you from wasting CD's. [04:07] that is all. [04:07] . [04:07] HorizonXP, you realize we didnt write ubuntu right? [04:08] what's really annoying is that windows, illumos, and freebsd all install fine. [04:08] webnet: he's gone [04:08] i see that [04:08] lewellyn, i hate when people do that [04:08] or when its like username: i have a question and the *username has quit [04:09] lewellyn: can you reach the GRUB menu at all. [04:09] Hey all. Is there a command-line equivalent of the startup disk creator? [04:09] sary: yes. and kernel parameters are pointless if the kernel never gets decompressed at all ;) [04:09] armence: dd [04:09] and yes, i've disabled splash and quiet === Vaela is now known as Katelyn [04:09] armence: if it's a 12.04 iso just use cat [04:09] armence, use cat [04:09] sary: actually, it's the cd, so that's probably actually syslinux? [04:09] damn zykotick9 you beat me [04:10] lol [04:10] all, thanks [04:10] np [04:10] so let me ask this all how do i boot into the gui of a program without a DE? [04:11] lewellyn: am not sure wha you mean abbout syslinux .. [04:11] like on embedded devices [04:11] sometime my ubuntu 12.04 sound behave weird, sound wouldn't come proper and I have to restart then [04:11] sary: the boot cd uses syslinux, not grub, correct? [04:11] webnet: startx with an xinitrc that exec's your program? might work? [04:11] * lewellyn looks in the iso [04:11] zykotick9, webnet Do I need to mount it or do I cat to the device? [04:11] In /dev I mean [04:12] oh i guess it actually is grub. interesting. [04:12] so yeah. grub isn't doing whatever magic needs to be done to load the kernel [04:12] armence: don't mount it - this will delete everything on it! you ok with that? [04:12] zykotick9, duh why didnt i think of that. thank you. [04:12] zykotick9, Yes I am [04:12] armence: are you 100% sure which device it is? [04:13] yeah totally [04:13] zykotick9, That was going to be my next question... [04:13] bazhang, thanks... [04:13] zykotick9, How do I know which device it is [04:13] GRUB indeed , after the BIOS screen keep prissing SHIFT to bring up the GRUB Menu .. [04:13] armence: dmesg after plugging it in might work [04:13] what that program that pastes your contents like if i do ls -a in a directoy it pastes the contens to a web page [04:13] son troppo intoccabile nessuno puo farmi un cazzo cia :D [04:13] !blkid [04:13] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [04:14] ZaNeIuM: pastebinit [04:14] sary: the alternate cd boots straight to grub. [04:14] lewellyn: and 18x is really fast , i always go with 4x . [04:14] armence: dr_willis's blkid suggestion is probably easier and better, plug the drive in and run "sudo blkid" can you identify the USB with that? [04:15] sary: i've burnt literally hundreds of install media on these cds. 18x is the sweet spot. [04:15] zykotick9, It's an sd card and there is a /dev/mmcblk0 sounds like a winner? [04:15] lewellyn: cool , press 'e' while you at that menu [04:15] this isn't my first time around the block. [04:15] dr_willis, Thanks, I'll try that [04:15] lewellyn: am sure :) [04:15] armence: we need a /dev/sdX where X is a letter [04:15] armence: ive seen sd cards use such device names befpr. mmcblk0 on laptops built in card readers [04:16] sary: i just find it utterly amazing that an intel reference board could possibly have this many problems with ubuntu when it runs other OSes fine. :/ [04:16] a usb sd card reader . ive seen use sdXx - built in card reader seem to use mmcXXXXX [04:16] armence: i'm sorry, perhaps mmcblk0 is you device??? but if that's the case i don't feel comfortable helping any further :( [04:16] dr_willis, It is a laptop built-in card reader [04:16] zykotick9, Thanks for taking me this far [04:17] try a sudo fdisk -l /dev/mmcWhatever [04:18] dr_willis how to i install that plz [04:18] on my netbook the sdcard is mmc*, on my desktop its sd* because the desktop is using a usb port for it. [04:18] ZaNeIuM: its in the repos [04:18] !info pastebinit [04:18] pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3-2ubuntu2 (precise), package size 15 kB, installed size 172 kB [04:18] My plus and underscore no longer work in unity and gnome-shell but work fine in xfce. Any ideas on how to fix this? [04:19] lewellyn: i hear you :) .. but this could be related to different area with your situation , and each distro have different setup on the chiped kernel . [04:19] thank you dr_willis [04:20] lewellyn: is it an old Intel board . [04:20] hi again [04:20] Hey [04:20] could you tell me how i would use it now just to get the contents of the dir i am in now? [04:20] had to resort to a second computer here... [04:20] sary: and a very popular board. it also happens to be my most powerful available 32-bit board (since i specifically need 32-bit ubuntu for this set of tasks, i don't want to waste a 64-bit board) [04:20] After upgrading successfully to 12.04 LTS, I can no longer log in to the desktop [04:21] dr_willis, OK, if I pull the card out, /dev/mmwhatever goes away so I feel quite confident that it's the right device [04:21] after typing the password, the screen goes black for a few seconds then comes back to prompt with the rejection sound [04:21] vicatcu: where do you get stuck at .. [04:21] I just solved my + and _ problem. Universal Access "zoom in" and "zoom out" were assigned to these keys and that was preventing them to work in gnome environments. [04:21] vicatcu: what does it do exactgy when you try? [04:21] sary: at the login prompt [04:22] dr_willis, Actually, there are two devices: /dev/mmcblk0p1 and /dev/mmcblk0. Do you know what that means? [04:22] vicatcu: can the yser login at the console? [04:22] dr_willis: like if I hit Ctrl+Alt+F1? [04:22] armence: p1 = partion1, like sda1 sda2 you got mmcblkXpY [04:22] where X= devvice, Y=partition [04:23] vicatcu: those are the consoles.. yes [04:23] dr_willis, Makes lots of sense. So is it on the partition that I should cat the iso or directly on the device? [04:24] armence: you image the iso to the device.. not a partition [04:24] dr_willis: yes I just logged in with console [04:24] armence: directly to the device - no partition! [04:24] dr_willis, zykotick9 Thanks all. [04:24] dr_willis: I think the username being assumed at the prompt is the wrong one [04:24] lewellyn: i see , i whould add nomodeset to the kernel as an option within the live cd to pass to the desktop and see how the installaion goes .. it could also be a graphic issue in your case thogu. [04:25] vicatcu: now as a test. you could make a new user. 'sudo adduser billgates' then see if that user can login properly. if SO then that points to a user setting issue. if it affects new user also that points to a system type issue [04:25] username assumed? huh? [04:26] sary: that's irrrelevant. the kernel never loads. kernel parameters never matter if the kernel's never loaded from disc. [04:26] dr_willis: when i am presented with a prompt, I see two options: Victor and Guest [04:26] once the cd spins down at the menu, it never spins up again. [04:26] dr_willis: when I log in at the console I log in as vic [04:26] vicatcu: id try making a new user. see if they work [04:26] I can't change the username anywhere in the graphical login [04:27] Quick question regarding sudo and pipes. If I sudo a command, what is it that gets sudoed? Redirects? Commands I pipe to? [04:27] armence: in this case i'd suggest using "sudo -i" then running the cat command [04:27] armence: to use sudo and pipes properly one often has to use 'sudo tee' as part of the command [04:28] armence: theres some sudo guides out there with examples [04:28] lewellyn: am counfused , do you already have ubuntu installed on your hdd , or just traying to install ! [04:28] if you google for 'ubuntu root shell right way' it should be the first hit for such a guide with an example [04:29] dr_willis: ok i created billgates, and restarted, Bill Gates appears but also can't log in with the password I gave him [04:29] sary: i've said "the install media" countless times :/ [04:29] and if I type an actual wrong password, I see the message "Invalid password, please try again" displayed [04:30] lewellyn: ah , my bad . [04:30] in any case, kernel parameters can't take effect if there's no kernel. [04:30] can anyone help me with this login problem? [04:31] lewellyn: still , we might missed an important part .. the iso image .. have you made an md5 test to it . [04:31] Hi. I'm creating a Help guide for my site on How to put Ubuntu on a USB. Do you think Ubuntu would mind if I took the images off their site and put it on mine? I'm wording the instructions in my own words. [04:31] sary: yes. and it also works in other systems with the same exact disc and same exact cd drives [04:32] Hi, one of my external harddrives gave an input/output error after rebooting I was able to use this drive again, can this be an indication that this drive is about to die? [04:32] paulus68: id be making backups of anything imporntant onit [04:32] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1973517 suggests I should do rm ~/.Xauthority is that safe? [04:32] any reason why ubuntu can't manage to maintain its own repos and not host packages that destroy entire systems? [04:32] vicatcu: renameit if youwant. [04:33] dr_willis: Hmmm it's my backup drive :( [04:33] paulus68: i have redundant stacks of exernal usb hds for backups [04:33] i just messed up my uubuntu 10.04 gnome desktop now i'm using fluxbox [04:33] doing the 12.04 lts upgrade on this laptop [04:33] any help to recover my gnome? [04:33] can anyone try installing libasound2-plugin-equal [04:33] lewellyn: thats very odd , lemme check on something .. hold up please :) [04:34] dr_willis: ok will start looking for a new one, my wife would be happy to hear that lol [04:35] anyone know how to use pastebinit to post the contents of a certian directory? [04:35] paulus68: i keep 'suspect' hard drives for the wifes video files (i have extra copies) so she can hae a hd in the living room with all her shows on it. and in the backroom.. ;) [04:35] if they die. no big loss [04:35] is anyone here a mod? [04:35] ZaNeIuM: bash basics... command | command for pipes [04:35] ZaNeIuM: in this case ls | pastebinit [04:35] libasound2-plugin-equal [04:36] ls -a | pastbinit [04:36] very cool [04:36] ZaNeIuM: check bash redirection docs for other examples [04:36] bash 101 stuff ;) [04:37] dr_willis: jikes what happens when the wife can't see her shows because of a hardrive failure? you are taking a risk here *grin* my wife is already complaining that nothing works when she needs to print or when the cartridges are empty when she needs to print some family pics lol [04:37] awsome, im more like bach 002 [04:37] paulus68: then she uses the network share thats an identical hard drive ;) [04:37] ugg bash === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest67514 [04:41] zykotick9, do i have to have a wm to run a gui application?

[04:47] so by doing that i am calling up a pkg to install that is not in the ubuntu software center is that correct ? [04:47] sary: ok sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop in progress [04:50] so is this a non ubuntu thing webnet? (non supported i mean)? [04:50] 3rd party...

[04:55] i got the wallpaper and a terminal i can't see panels desktop icons can't even right click so i tried to restart ang used other so i could use my fluxbox [04:55] in fluxbox synaptic package manager gnome is not installed [04:55] i think that's the problem [04:56] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [04:56] to install it [04:59] lewellyn: Alright thanks , please bear with me as i have never seen such an issue nor did i used he alternative cd before . [05:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1000265/ dr_willis [05:00] sary: it's very ubuntu-specific [05:00] sary: i'm giving up for the night [05:00] but missing the kernel from the installation cd is over my head. [05:00] the kernel isn't missing. it's just not loading. [05:01] lewellyn: alright . [05:01] but i need to go make dinner. it's 2200 [05:02] Fat-Thing: so.. its installed.. looks like it was basically installed befor..

I'd love to be able to change web pages with a gesture... [05:15] Hi, I want to use my modified keyboard layout. But it's in /usr/share/something so whenever xkb-data will be updated, my modifications will be lost [05:16] how to tell apt/dpkg to not touch some files [05:16] ? [05:17] good night [05:17] what files? [05:17] see you [05:18] dr_willis: /usr/share/X11/.../symbols/fr [05:21] normally apt asks if you want to use a changed config file. but that might not be considered a config file. when i doubt back the altered file up somewhere. and restore it afterwards i guess [05:22] ive never notced an apt 'do not touch' list [05:22] dr_willis: no, this is no config file [05:22] and saving/restoring it is tedious [05:23] how often is it getting changed? [05:23] last time I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 I had a black screen and it would not boot. I restored a disk image and I'm back on 11.10 [05:23] !nomodeset | Gskellig [05:23] would anyone here mind checking the package libasound2-plugin-equal for install errors? [05:23] I tried that [05:23] Gskellig: i always do clean installs. so thats about all i can suggest. [05:23] it was acting like it didn't have write permission to the disk [05:23] I think there is a way to do that with dpkg-statoverride, but I don't remember how to do it, and the documentation is tedious [05:24] =\ [05:24] can i make the panel at the top of the screen the same clear color as my unity launcher (12.04) ? [05:24] dr_willis: I don't known how often. But when I used debian, it was about once every month or once every two months. Every time, this put me in a bad mood for the rest of the morning :) === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [05:24] windbuntu: i recall a setting somewhere that affected the transparenty of the top menubar. some themes made it transparent i recall. [05:25] that would look more uniform [05:25] i really like this unity desktop [05:25] arno-: unless its somesort of security fix, ubuntu most likely wont be updateing it as often. you could always script rc.local to see if its changed and change it back. [05:26] i seem to recall a time when the top menubar would just disappear so in a way im afraid to mess with it [05:26] transparent top panel - i think had some ugly issues - but i dont recall the details [05:26] yeah i best not mess with it [05:26] you can always reset the unity settings. [05:27] if the ubuntu mase it to match from the start it would be best [05:27] made* [05:27] i think there was some how a trnsparent panel showed the gnome-desktop menus for some reason. i forget why/how - it only affected some themes [05:27] Some themes do mke it transparent. [05:27] i use my own desktop wallpaper though not one of the standard ones [05:28] solid color wallpaper - what real men use. ;) [05:28] dr_willis: you're right, xkb-data probably won't have lot of security updates. [05:28] or this 'my little pony' wwallpaper i found.. [05:28] i use weird looking retro doze wallpaper [05:28] so my os look way old [05:29] C64 wallpaper ;) [05:29] w98 [05:29] w95 [05:29] even vista sometimes [05:29] even though i really dislike those OS's [05:30] i dislike the color-smear default wallpaper :) so i changed it to a brown-pangolin picture i found [05:30] the 'show users wallpaper on login screen' feature... can get embaraseing ;) [05:31] wonder if that feature works with encrypted homes [05:33] which dict software is good ? [05:33] 'dict' meaning? [05:34] dr_willis: translate tool [05:34] google translate [05:34] :P [05:34] Hi. [05:34] hi [05:35] ih!

[05:39] main servers were slow over the weekend, they seem fixed now. [05:40] The upgrade info shows that I need upgrade 2,111 packages.. [05:40] xjiujiu, Did you set up proper mirror in spurces.list? [05:40] one of the many reasons i always do clean installs [05:40] :) [05:41] I set up the apt/source.list..But it's not work... [05:41] dr_willis: same [05:41] clean!!! [05:41] Oh, no~ [05:41] Hmm. I did it "in background" of working. [05:41] Don't let me to do this.. [05:41] xjiujiu, You don't have to. [05:41] it's just better..lol [05:41] setup how? the upgrade tools should handle all that [05:42] yes, but the download speed is so slowly.. [05:43] xjiujiu, Setting proper mirrors in sources.list helps. [05:43] Ok,fine... [05:43] I try it again... [05:44] Cancelling download shouldn't be a big deal. [05:44] Which mirrors do you use now?

[05:45] you could use the alt. cd and upgrade with it i guess. [05:45] the alt cd should download in about 15-20min w/ the torrents (at least it does for me) [05:45] I think LiveCD offers an updating tool too. [05:46] Yesterday I was almost sure. [05:46] Now I'm not.

It is also viewable via web at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [06:00] dr_willis: thats what i was looking for thank you sir [06:01] delicious.com has 1000's of things tagged with bash tutorial [06:01] the Oreialy book 'Using Bash' is a must track down also ;) often its in the bargin bins at real bookstores [06:01] or find a E-book version [06:02] dr_willis: I will second that book its usefull :) [06:02] oh crap, all my youtube videos have a blue tint. how to fix? [06:02] 'mastering regular expressions' is also a good book to read.. even if you donmt understand it at first [06:02] danny_:nice thinkin .. check LPIC book , 2nd edition , whats interesing is that you can take the exam online.

[06:05] i've used Gnash , not to bad i may say. [06:05] sary, i shouldnt have asked so soon starting to get confused were i should start now but what is itna ? [06:05] *too [06:06] 2 [06:06] ;) start with The bash basics books,,, and expand from there [06:07] I got /usr/bin/X pegging a CPU all the time. it started recently. This happens even if I have very few windows open. How would I start debugging this? (Kwin as w. manager) [06:07] danny_: Information Technology and NetWork Administration (ITNA) [06:08] quesada_: ive notied a similer thing after X is running for a long time. a logout/backin (restart X server) seems to fix it... not seen any definitive answer on whaats sucking down the cpu. Just X will taake 50% of one core here.. but lags the whole system [06:08] that's ti [06:08] it [06:08] danny_: alos , the LPI LinuxCertification in a Nutshell .. is a good one. [06:08] quesada_: does it in every desktop or even in just simple winmdow manager like openbox [06:08] but what a pitiful solution ... logging out? That sucks [06:08] I only tried kwin [06:09] quesada_: some driver issue would be my guess. using nvida drivers here. [06:09] me too [06:09] well thanks guys ive written down all the ones u suggested i think this will keep me busy for a wile [06:09] and ive tried the normal nvidia from the repos.. and the latest from the various ppas [06:09] hi [06:10] hi [06:10] but noveau is not any better? have you tried it? [06:10] ih [06:10] hey [06:10] quesada_: never really noticed. My pc is just a ssh box most of the time. ;) [06:10] dr_willis: so no driver solved it? [06:11] dr_willis: have you googled it? what keywords did you use? [06:11] quesada_: all the nvidia drivers follow the same pattern.. long uptime = gets slow. BUt sometimes if i do somthing with a lot of system load. it seems to happen faster.. like reencoding with handbreak. it will get laggy within 20 min [06:11] 'X' is not a good one :) [06:12] what hardware do you have? [06:12] it happenss in lubuntu, and ubuntu/unity, and gnome-shell [06:12] hi [06:12] some midrange nvidia card.. i forget the # its about a year old [06:13] icebytesay hi [06:13] how long have you experienced the problem? [06:13] quesada_: nvidia-curent freezed and crached My X , haven't got an issue with noveau . [06:13] icebytesay hello [06:13] quesada_: since release.. dont recall the issue in beta. but i dident beta test much [06:14] Nouveau doesnt offer 3d accel right? [06:15] dr_willis: did you find anything googling? [06:15] is this a known bug? [06:16] Hey, trying to upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04, but update manager only offers 11.10. Help? [06:16] quesada_: a few with similer issues. no real details [06:16] I even have 12.04 livecd mounted and in apt sources [06:16] mjreed: You need to upgrade to 11.10, then to 12.04 [06:16] ... [06:17] so this http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-upgrade-from-ubuntu-1004-1010-1104-to-ubuntu-1110-oneiric-ocelot-desktop-a-server/ is incorrect, then? [06:17] hahaha nvm on my question about nouveau found my answer.lol [06:17] mjreed: the alternative is to just reinstall and keep your home folder (but you'll need to reinstall all your applications as well) [06:17] I'm amazed at how used we linuxers are to these things [06:17] That's a whole lot of extra work and time, either way. [06:17] you go lts-:lts Or go each step... [06:17] we sort of assume we have to put up with this [06:17] a 3day uptime and I have to reboot X? Bah! [06:18] ive had worse issues with windows [06:18] so if I were still on 10.04 I could go straight to 12.04, but from 11.04 I have to go through 11.10 [06:18] 10.04 to 12.04 wont be avail untill 12.04.1 is outr [06:18] out [06:18] mjreed: basically... [06:18] mjreed: Correct. [06:18] mjreed: correct, because 10.04 and 12.04 are both LTS releases, that is the only time you can "skip" release when upgrading [06:19] i rarely upgrade. ;) [06:19] well, there's a lot of misinformation out there, then, and like an idjit I believed it. [06:19] * KM0201 has never upgraded [06:19] LinuxMonkey: i haven't checked on that , am running gnome-shell fine with it .. what did you find ! [06:19] i have a full backup, I can just reinstall.. [06:19] misinformation? the lts to lts.. or step by step.. is how its been for years.. [06:19] mjreed: when in doubt, read the *official* ubuntu docs, not random blog posts you find on google :) [06:19] mjreed: Best to stick to official documentation, which usually contains very little misinformation :) [06:20] the 'waiting untill 12.04.1' is out for lts to lts is new to 12.04 i belive [06:21] sary: there is some 3d accel now but its highly unstable [06:21] Can't one change the release type to lts and upgrade to straight to the next lts . [06:21] sary thats a scary idea [06:21] hi [06:21] sary: No. [06:21] sary: LTS is not a "type", only certain release are LTS. [06:21] !lts [06:22] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [06:22] LinuxMonkey: nice , any source that i can read about that . [06:22] lts to lts upgrades have been 'tested' to work also i belive [06:22] dr_willis: i was just asking .. [06:22] never done an lts to lts before .. [06:22] i rarely if ever upgrade. [06:22] 10.04 users who upgrade to 12.04 will get quite a shock.. no more gnome 2.x (unity) [06:23] sary: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ <--then go down to the quick overview section [06:23] i can do a clean install in 1/2 the time [06:23] fair enough. [06:23] yup [06:23] not to mention if the upgrade fails, you're probbly hosed anyway and you'll have to clean install. [06:23] quick rsync to refresh the ol' backup, and off I go to reinstall [06:23] LinuxMonkey: thank you :) [06:23] hello [06:24] yes, that happened on the last box I upgraded from 10.x to 11.x. Everything outside of my home dir was completely wiped. [06:24] might as well have done the clean install in the first place. [06:24] the 11.x to 12.x upgrade on the same box went fine, though. [06:25] hello [06:26] Today, I installed Ubuntu 12.04 [06:26] is dpkg --get-selections/--set-selections still the way to get packages back? [06:26] !clone [06:26] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate [06:26] I sudoed apt-update and apt-upgrade [06:26] huh, I wonder if a french person wrote that, they tend to use the << notation instead of " [06:27] My question is , is it possible to remove all the non free items, restricted drivers, extras, etc ????????? [06:27] hi i am trying compile blueman ver 1.2.3 bat i get this message configure: error: Could not find Python headers [06:27] if they'd been German it'd be »... « instead. [06:27] roshan: start removing them.. if you want.. but why bother. [06:28] roshan: i recall some ubuntu variant (unofficial) that came without them by default. [06:28] But, I dont know how to remove those, and where they are installed . [06:28] slipknot: try apt-getting gcc headers [06:28] or gcc [06:28] roshan why are you worried about it then: [06:28] un officials is ok....i don't want free as in freedom softwares [06:29] roshan: what is your reason for removing them? Is it functional, philisophical, political, legal or educational? [06:29] philosophical... [06:29] may be some guides on it online. never really notced. === quesada_ is now known as urlwolf [06:30] hi [06:30] You might have heard of many issues in India related to knowledge sharng. [06:30] hey [06:30] Keep in mind roshan you may loose alot of functionality by removing those [06:30] So, why make the government do something to ban these.. [06:30] It would be better to stay on the safe free side [06:30] ok, thanks, off with me to reinstall.. [06:30] gov. is going to ban flash? ;) [06:30] removeing them so the gov. wont make you remove them? [06:31] LinuxMonkey, I don't want to remove all those that were there preinstalle.d [06:31] the software in question is all legal, even in India... it's just not open-source. [06:31] no..they aren't [06:31] as soon as they order people to not do somthing... they wnt to do it even more [06:31] roshan: can you post a link to the issues you are talking about? [06:31] We cant trust.because, now, the torrent sharing has been blocked here [06:32] there are 'libre' variants of many disrtos out that try to be 100% GPL. [06:32] Is it possible to remove only those files that were installed after apt-get upgrade && apt-get update [06:32] roshan: torrents have nothing to do with "free" or "non-free". in fact, a LOT of free software (including ubuntu) is distributed via torrents [06:32] you can remivce them.. if you know what to removce [06:32] roshan: free software foundation has recomended 100% free/libre distros, if i recall gnewsence is one of them and it's based in ubuntu [06:33] roshan: if you want 100% you would even need to remove the kernel with has propietary blobs [06:33] but variants like gnewsence are not supported here. [06:33] xangua: well of course they have, microsoft also recommends microsoft software, but that has little to do with policies in India... [06:33] Xangua, but, we gay GNU/Linux, so, it can be considered free. [06:34] xangua: actually, I don't think the kernel does have any proprietary blogs, only some of the modules (which are added at *runtime*) are proprietary [06:34] *blobs [06:35] xangua: if the kernel had binary blobs, they wouldn't be able to use the GPL to distribute it! [06:35] Can you tell me, how to remove only those after upgrade ? [06:36] roshan: why is upgraded non-free software a problem, but not the original non-free software? [06:36] roshan: also, if you undo the update and then never update again, you will never get security updates, which is *BAD* [06:36] That is a pint Darwin Survivor, ..I too wished to ask a quetion [06:37] hmm, X stopped sucking CPU. it fixed itself [06:37] Is it like Ubuntu only comes with free softwares ? [06:37] but I'm very worried. An uptime of 3 days only, and this happens? [06:37] i need dual mointur withh ubuntu 12.04 [06:37] urlwolf: i had the issue.. thought it went away.. then it came back [06:38] hi [06:38] argh [06:38] urlwolf: restarting X fixed it for me.. for a while.. [06:38] but that's no solution long-term... [06:38] hi === _notschism_ is now known as _schism_ [06:38] urlwolf: could you re-post the original problem, the scrollback is quite long [06:39] got /usr/bin/X pegging a CPU all the time. it started recently. This happens even if I have very few windows open. How would I start debugging this? (Kwin as w. manager) [06:39] icebytesay hello [06:39] hell [06:39] uptime 3 days [06:39] urlwolf: long term will be when they fix the bug [06:39] GUI extremely slow [06:39] urlwolf: can you install htop and then turn on the "tree" view (F5) and see if there is a bunch of stuff it has spawned? [06:39] dr_willis: hahah [06:40] urlwolf: ive had it happen after just 8 hrs [06:40] I did [06:40] Anyone ?? [06:40] nothing that I could see on htop [06:40] its not long uptime..its long X runtime here. [06:40] is it normal that after installing the fglrx driver I have no suspend to disk anymore? [06:40] dr_willis: correct [06:40] htop shows X taking 50% of a single core onmy 8 core system. but its lagging like crazy. [06:40] dr_willis: did this happen with nouveau too? [06:40] restrt x - its down to 0-1% withsame apps going [06:41] dr_willis: this is exactly the problem [06:41] roshan: you seem to be going all over the place, first you wanted to remove non-free software, then you wanted to undo an update (which would not have *added* any non-free software) [06:41] i dont recall trying nouveau. it did it with every wm i tested. [06:41] maybe nouveau helps [06:41] roshan: what is it *exactly* that you are worried about (software patents, codecs, copyright, proprietary software with security problems, etc)? [06:42] Dawin Survivor, In the software sources, the non-free extras and propreitary softwares are ticked by default. [06:42] That is why i asked so, [06:42] urlwolf: does this happen in all accounts, or just yours? [06:42] h [06:42] hi [06:42] i think new kernel has more bug [06:42] As you said, just doing an update will not install any non free items ? [06:42] roshan: and what is your reason for wanting to remove them? [06:42] videos in chromium still show with a blue tint on youtube, what gives? [06:42] hello [06:42] halakar: tried disabling flash hardware acceleration¿ [06:42] I cannot see what I have typed on a channel. [06:43] roshan: no, all it will do is update the software that is already installed some of that may have been non-free, but you already had an older copy of it anyways. [06:43] okay [06:43] that saved me [06:43] i mean the answer you provided saved me [06:43] why sometimes mouse stop working after startup [06:43] thank you [06:44] do you think that ubntustudio 11.04 is better than 12.04? [06:44] halakar: I had a similar problem. it went away when I did reinstall of the os (kept /home, threw away everything else when I went to 12.04). I assume it's a setting somewhere for either the nvidia driver or the flash plugin. [06:44] has to be flash related [06:44] i am a fresh install of 12.04LTS [06:44] this just started happening [06:44] swapnendu: probably best to ask in the #ubuntustudio channel [06:44] (01:42:53) xangua: halakar: tried disabling flash hardware acceleration¿ [06:45] missed out 11.10 [06:45] how was it> [06:45] ? [06:45] youtube has html5 features that dont use flash [06:45] swapnendu: not bad.. still someone unity quirks I didn't like.. most things (for me anyway) have been resolved in 12.04 [06:46] swapnendu: this channel is for support questions, if you want opinions and suggestions, please use the #ubuntu-offtopic channel [06:46] thanks a lot Darwin [06:46] xangua, I can't uncheck it when i right click on the video [06:47] halakar: someone said you have to do it from full-screen (some strange flash bug) [06:47] ive seen flash bugs where yoou cant check the box's. one fix i recall was to keep the right mouse held down while clicking. (no idea why) [06:47] DarwinSurvivor: I only have one account [06:47] halakar: for some weird reason you have to make the video fullscreen to select Properties [06:48] urlwolf: how long does it take to notice the CPU increase (minutes, hours, days)? [06:48] Is there a free alternative to flash ? [06:48] for me it was ~3days [06:48] roshan: gnash. but it works with only some sites [06:48] hi [06:48] roshan: gnash, lightspark, but don't have all features [06:48] but dr_willis says he gets it with only 8hrs [06:49] urlwolf: or less.. [06:49] one more question [06:49] funny thing, it fixes itself [06:49] icebytesay hi [06:49] hi [06:49] but I don't trust the system anymoree [06:49] I get a battery backup of less than 1 hour. is it possible to improve it? [06:49] roshan: on a UPS or a laptop? [06:49] roshan: you mean, off a UPS or from your laptop's battery? [06:50] laptop [06:50] roshan depends on the details of themacchine. there may be some tweaks for spefific make/models. [06:50] My laptop [06:50] it doesnt get enough backup [06:50] Power saveing features in the latest kernel are improved.. but some laptops still have issues [06:50] roshan: backup? you mean you can't run more than 1 hour on the battery? [06:50] roshan: age of the laptop? I'm just trying to rule out a simple 'bad battery' [06:50] icebytesay icebyte will say whatever you say. [06:50] icebyte will say whatever you say. [06:51] weird, some videos show normal and others don't [06:51] halakar: yep. i noticed the same thing. [06:51] halakar: it's a bug in flash, disabling hardware acceleration is the only workaround until adobe fixes it [06:51] i just started using youtube downloader tools to get them/convert to watch ;) [06:52] or use the html5 feataure [06:52] DarwinSurvivor, ya, but I can't click the button that disables the hardware acceleration [06:52] minitube isn't bad either [06:52] halakar: did you try it while the video was in fullscreen? [06:52] no [06:52] icebytesay icebyte say whatever you say by preceding the word icebytesay [06:52] icebyte say whatever you say by preceding the word icebytesay [06:53] halakar: you need to do that [06:53] mantest: please stop that [06:53] halakar: or just enable html5 for youtube [06:53] ah, fixed it [06:53] I had HTML5 enabled, certain videos were fine but others were not [06:53] dr_willis: do you know if it affects other flash video sites (vimeo, etc)? [06:54] DarwinSurvivor, thanks for the tip. [06:54] not all vidoes may be using html5. i think youtube has most converted [06:54] DarwinSurvivor: no idea. I dont really flash much [06:54] i tend to download and watch also... [06:56] it's weird it just started acting like that though [06:57] hello icebytesay [06:57] hello [06:57] should Ubuntu have a /usr/share/dict/words Words file? [06:57] mantest: please test your bots elsewhere [06:58] !find /usr/share/dict/words [06:58] File /usr/share/dict/words found in dictionaries-common, wamerican [06:58] thats good and all but my system is missing it. is that something can install via a package manager or something ? [06:58] \ [06:59] bot just said its in 'dictionaries-common' package [06:59] My Ubuntu 10.04 is unable to detect Broadcom nic bcm5720 [06:59] Neither 12.04 suports that [06:59] !broadcom [06:59] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [07:00] not heaard the 57# befor.

Intel 82579LM [07:01] Romance: Linux is meant for Networking not Windows [07:01] :) [07:01] cool for networking, so why the ping is high [07:02] Romance: what are you pinging? [07:02] Romance: coz Linux is fast [07:02] speedtest.net [07:02] high ping fast? [07:02] decci: lower pings are faster, not higher ones.... [07:02] DarwinSurvivor: kidding [07:03] decci: don't do that in here, many users don't know enough to know you are kidding! [07:03] 'great app - best ive ever used ! 1 Star!' [07:03] DarwinSurvivor: Sorry [07:03] try to change to google dns in ubuntu, still the ping is high [07:03] Romance: what are you pinging (home router, ISP server, speedtest, google.com, etc) and are you on wired, wireless or 3g? [07:03] if you ping by ip# - the dns wont matter.. dident think dns mattered anyway [07:04] DarwinSurvivor : im testing my speed on speedtest.net (include ping test) , and im on wireless [07:04] dr_willis: it will matter if the dns server you are using routes you to a further server with the same name [07:04] but the ping command shows the ip# being used. [07:05] so jot down the ip# for your benchnmarking [07:05] Romance: ok, 1> are you using the same speedtest server (on the map) as you did in windows 2> what ping do you get to your router 3> have you tried wired? === guillermo is now known as Guest88146 [07:05] yes in Windows im using exactly the same , tested on speedtest [07:06] Romance: speedtest lets you test using different servers (see the icons on the map), did you use the same icon? [07:06] i dont care about being wired or wireless, i just want to know why the ping it so different? [07:06] im using the same server [07:06] Romance: well, we need to determine if the problem is ubuntu, the wireless, the router, or something else causing the problem first! [07:07] what problem is that in ubuntu? thats why i asked [07:08] Romance: we can't fix a problem if we don't know what is causing it. please run "ping ip_of_your_router_here" and tell us the average ping value you see [07:08] I am trying to make a screenshot from command line using the import tool from the imagemagick package, but it seems like something is not right with the Z-indexing of windows. All windows appear maximized and without borders at the screenshot, though it looks different on screen for some reason [07:08] maybe i ruined the ubuntu, installed something bad or whatever, but in speedtest the speed almost the same, only the ping so huge difference [07:08] Romance: I highly doubt that, if you had messed something up, you probably wouldn't get a connection at all! [07:08] ciao === ishan is now known as ishanthilina [07:09] Romance: please run the command I specified so we can see if it's a wireless or routing problem [07:09] italiani?????

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [07:09] is there a way to force the window manager to reload from another virtual console? (ctrl+alt+F1) [07:10] grazie ubottu [07:10] my laptop woke up from suspend and i only see a black screen with the mouse pointer [07:10] DarwinSurvivor : ping 192.168.1.1 , average 1ms [07:10] the funny thing is if i move the mouse pointer around, i can tell when it hits the password input field, because the cursor becomes the text input cursor [07:10] Romance: ok, then it's not a wireless issue [07:10] yeah exactly [07:10] jefimenko: try blindly typing in your password and hitting enter [07:11] after upgrading to 12.04 I'm getting xorg using 100% of my cpu when just moving windows around the desktop, I have a high end nvidia card using the binary drivers, any suggestions where to start looking for a fix? [07:11] Romance: how many times did you run the test in both windows and ubuntu? [07:11] DarwinSurvivor: i tried that. it logged me in, but the screen stayed black. i could tell that it logged me in because moving the mouse cursor around hit new text fields now (like the browser URL field) === tomahawk_ is now known as tomahawk [07:11] then when i suspend and wake again, it's back to the locked screen [07:11] but black [07:12] jefimenko: sounds like a video card driver problem [07:12] i can get to the other virtual consoles perfectly fine using alt+ctrl+f1 [07:12] i dont know DarwinSurvivor, could be few times [07:13] Romance: it's not uncommon for ping times to change throughout the day, try switching back and forth between the 2 OS's a few times and see if the difference is consistent. also, please try a normal ping test as speedtest is known to be biased at times. "ping google.com" is a fairly good way to test your latency [07:13] DarwinSurvivor: this happens about one in every 20 times i suspend. of course, it isn't fun when it happens because i usually have important coding projects and documents open [07:13] DarwinSurvivor: i'm on a nvidia optimus, using the open source nvidia driver [07:13] is there a way to force a compiz reload or something like that? [07:13] jefimenko: ok, well long-term, I'd suggest trying the binary drivers, they tend to be more stable [07:14] jefimenko: I don't think the problem is compiz, I think it's X itself, which is VERY difficult to reload without losing your runnig programs [07:14] jefimenko: do you currently have any unsaved work open? [07:14] i'm pretty sure i did [07:14] i just forgot what [07:14] DarwinSurvivor, Romance: I would try pinging the router first, to make sure it is not part of the problem [07:15] Myrtti: already did, 1ms [07:15] ah alright [07:19] my volume ain't working is there a way to resolve? without restarting my pc? [07:21] houw to correct partial updated 12.04 ? [07:22] akhil_: update it again?

[07:47] put in a folder and see properties [07:47] kane77: du -sh [07:47] MasterOfDisaster, the list is too long for that (~22000 files) [07:48] kane77: the s part means "only give me the total" === mario_ is now known as MarioTroll [07:48] kane77: have a look at xargs, you can sum it up yourself [07:49] DarwinSurvivor, well yes, but if I do du -hsc $(mylist_of_files) it fails because that's just too many arguments.. [07:49] hi [07:50] kane77: don't tell it which files and it will just do the total of the current directory [07:50] kane77: you can even do "du -hs /path/to/my/directory" [07:50] DarwinSurvivor, these files are in different directories :/ [07:50] hi everybody! i just installed my NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.34 last graphic from Nvidia,(it's not in the repos yet!). problem is ubuntu doesn't know this driver (driver is working), and it just load unity 2d as default! how can i force it to run unity? [07:50] kane77: I've run that command on my ENTIRE home folder (over 600GB of stuff) without issue (took a while though :P) [07:50] kane77: oh... [07:51] kane77: are they the only files in those directories? [07:51] DarwinSurvivor, nope, there's a ton of stuff there :) [07:51] bersam: what have you selected at login? [07:52] kane77: ok. May I ask what types of files these are, this seems like a fairly strange request [07:52] morning all [07:53] How often do we get a new linux image? [07:53] each week? [07:53] well, we have web app and these are files that were marked as deleted in the database but are not physically deleted from filesystem.. [07:53] DarwinSurvivor, ^^ [07:57] kane77: ah, ok. well, you could run "for i in $my_list_of_files; do ln -s $i; done" in an empty directory, then run "du -hsL" from that directory [07:57] kane77: just make sure you don't have any spaces in your filenames. if you do, a "while read" loop should fix it [07:57] Darwin4Ever, ok, got it.. cat undeleted_files | xargs du -s | cut -f 1 | awk '{total = total + $1}END{print total}' [07:57] TBarth, this is ubuntu support can you be more specific, [07:57] kane77: that would work as well [07:58] kane77: but don't use cat, use xarg's "-a undeleted_files" argument instead [07:59] kane77: and since you are checking files one at a time, the -s is pointless [08:00] "xargs -a undeleted_files du -s | cut -f 1 | awk '{total = total + $1}END{print total}'" should work a little better [08:00] oops [08:00] "xargs -a undeleted_files du | cut -f 1 | awk '{total = total + $1}END{print total}'" should work a little better [08:00] there we go [08:00] hi. === CoM`oFF|Disconn is now known as CoM|Disconn === whoever is now known as Guest68331 [08:01] I have a process of user with no permissions to write into specific folder. If I am adding user the process runs as into write enabled group, do I have to restart the process or will it be able to write the files after group membership change ? [08:02] (question is: is there per-process caching of group/user membership?) [08:02] Hi all ! I'm tryin' to use the old Vi, but I can't figure HOW. It seems that /usr/bin/vi is just the same as Vim, not just a link. Can someone help me ? [08:02] z3bra: there is "vi mode" in vim. [08:02] sbarcteam: you will need to restart the process. and depending on how the process was started (cron, bash, etc), you may need to log out and back in again as well [08:02] man vim. [08:03] DarwinSurvivor: and what is the reason for that ? [08:03] sbarcteam: it's just the way it works, the kernel only checks the users' group list when they log in [08:03] can anybody with gnome 3 pastebine his/her /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css ? [08:03] sbarcteam: I don't want to use a mode, I want to be able to use the old vi =) [08:04] z3bra: the mode emulates the old vi. Is there a technical reason for your request, or is it purely nostalgic? [08:05] DarwinSurvivor: Got non technical reason btw ^^ [08:05] *no [08:06] can using gnome 3(.4) pastebine his/her "/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css" ? [08:07] there's no video on my youtube page but i can hear a sound :( [08:07] firas: are you looking to restore a corrupted file? [08:08] z3bra: I don't think the original vi has been supported (by its developers) for over 10 years, vim pretty much replaced it. [08:08] DarwinSurvivor: Yes, i missed up the gnome-shell.css [08:09] DarwinSurvivor: But Vi, *might* isn't a *nix default program ? [08:09] !find /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css [08:09] File /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css found in gnome-shell-common [08:09] Wow oO grammar... [08:10] *isn't vi a default *nix program ? [08:10] anyone use ejabberd ?? [08:11] z3bra: if you haven't run an apt-get clean recently, there should be a copy of the file in /var/cache/apt/. look for a .deb file with "gnome-shell" in the name. open that file (it's just an archive) and it should have the original file in it :) [08:11] z3bra: vim.tiny comes by default. [08:11] codekK: yes, on my arch machine I do (occasionally) [08:11] wow, that was amazing [08:11] chu: I know that, but this is only for ubuntu. [08:11] DarwinSurvivor, can i pm u?

[08:15] Guest33377, could you explain to root? [08:15] Guest33377: If its the "Anon OS", thats not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, you'll need to get in touch with their own support [08:15] I am trying to DDOS my own teamspeak to test some filters [08:15] Guest33377: please provide a link to the project's website [08:16] Which project ? [08:16] Mine, or the OS ? [08:16] Guest33377: nvm, found the "Anon OS", that derivative (as DJones said) is not supported here, you will need to contact THEIR developrs [08:17] Okay, what about Backtrack 5 ? [08:17] Not supported here either. [08:17] Because the anon developers are not reachable anymore [08:17] repeating, sorry - on intel i7s with 8gb ram for android development - which ubuntu version and 32 or 64? [08:17] 64 [08:17] wilee-nilee: 64 [08:17] !backtrack | Guest33377 [08:17] Guest33377: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[08:18] Well what would I use ? SOme sort of python script /. [08:18] ? [08:18] Guest33377: any linux os is, really, you just need to install the security-test tools. backtrack is a popular one, but all the tools can be installed on ubuntu as well (it just isn't done for you) [08:18] Thanks alot [08:19] I just purchased a dedicated server to test out some filters [08:19] Have you ever heard of Next Generation Gaming ?

[09:14] oh wow, that is *really* out of date....... :| [09:15] iIlL0oO: which-ever you are using, there should be a small icon next to your name, click on it and there should be a drop-down that will allow you to use fvwm [09:16] DarwinSurvivor: thankyou , I'll try [09:16] thanks everyone for your help [09:17] Help! Is there any unofficial sources of Ubuntu, because the official support of Ubuntu10.10 is out of date. [09:17] paopao: why don't you upgrade to a supported version? [09:17] And I can't update my system now [09:17] !eol [09:17] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.

[09:20] skylined101: mysql 5.5 is the release for 12.04 [09:20] i need to downgrade [09:20] ikonia, I expect from a linux system such as Ubuntu _LTS_, that I don't need to restart it each week. [09:20] skylined101: there isn't a release [09:20] TBarth: then your expectations are wrong [09:20] :'( [09:21] So there is no unofficial support? [09:21] TBarth: generally a restart is only required when you get a new kernel [09:21] paopao: official support for what ? [09:21] ikonia, you re not a system administrator [09:21] paopao: no official support for 10.10, correct [09:21] paopao: makes me wonder what 'unofficial support' would do exactly [09:21] TBarth: actually I am [09:21] paopao: 10.04 is still supported (LTS) until 2015. it's 1 version behind what you have now, but it should have gnome-2 at the very least [09:21] devil_dodger: please see your PM [09:21] ikonia, the sources of ubuntu [09:21] try linuxcnc 10.04 lts rtai patched ubuntu [09:21] ktchk: what ?

[09:21] TBarth: no [09:22] ikonia: i am using it [09:22] Transhumanist: yes, you'll need to re-apply grub [09:22] Transhumanist: you will need to reinstall grub. and wine does not need windows installed [09:22] DarwinSurvivor: 10.04 is only supported until April 2013 on the desktop [09:22] is that a difficult task?

Windows XP was supported for wayyyy longer [09:23] ikonia: my 10.04 do not need reboot weeky [09:23] It's bad that even an LTS only gets 3 years support [09:23] paopao: oops, jrib is correct, it's only the server version that's supported until 2015, the desktop version is supported until april, 2013 [09:23] Thanks! What about things like DirectX? Does WINE need Windoze installed to use that in games? I thought WINE required some Windows files, but I am hazy on the details.

The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [09:23] I suppose the games would just use OpenGL [09:23] ktchk: I know, ubuntu 10.04 doesn't need weekly reboots, I believe TBarth was being facicious [09:23] hello [09:23] jrib: Not at this time [09:23] my wirless card don't work [09:23] yandex38: ok [09:23] Transhumanist: wind does NOT need windows installed anywhere on the system [09:24] richardlxc: whats the chipset [09:24] Sweet.

[09:25] ikonia, in the last month of ubuntu 10 LTS I got a new kernel once a week [09:26] anyone can help me? [09:26] TBarth: I doubt that, but "ok", and to be honest if you did, that's an exception to th enorm [09:26] What package do you recommend for installing Windows in a VM?

Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [09:26] hi [09:27] Excellent! [09:27] Transhumanist: if you are that set on 'windows' then you should just dual boot [09:27] TBarth: just because a new kernel is available, does not mean you have to use it. servers that are left on for years on end don't get their kernels updated (they are working on a fix for this though, I think fedora is experimenting with it) [09:28] а что здесь люди сидят? [09:28] i have a problem with this command "find . -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;" allways try to delete the "." file but it cant because is a directory, the thing is that i dont want to delete it, i only want to delelete the files that was created 2 days ago....

[09:29] Byly: -type f ? [09:29] Why i cannot install open shot? [09:30] UltraSub: any error messages? [09:30] thx for the answers, the thing is that the files was diferent names [09:30] how can i install the brocken packages [09:30] Byly: what? [09:30] TBarth: I don't use the GUI updater, but I believe there is a simple checkbox. alternatively, you can install the new kernel and just not reboot, the old kernel will be left in until then [09:30] jenamithran: be more specific... [09:30] Gtk2-engine-pixbuf [09:30] !details [09:30] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [09:31] UltraSub: you need to be a bit more verbose in your details... [09:31] the option -f is for force, no? i i dont waht to delete the . file [09:31] Byly: "-type f" means "only stuff that is of type 'file' " [09:31] I install using .Deb and an error message [09:32] can you delete the . file? [09:32] dr_willis: um, that would be the current directory.... [09:32] i have a windows 7 box with a virus on it. I also have the drive partitioned with ubuntu. I want to make an .iso image of the windows 7 box so I can start it in virtual box and analyze what the virus does. Can I do that through/with software on ubuntu or do I have to make the iso image from within windows? [09:32] dr_willis: depends how hard you try I imagine :P [09:32] jrib: there are some pakages interrupted while downloading how can itheresumed or removed [09:32] ah ok you said in find? [09:32] jenamithran: pastebin exactly what is happening [09:32] UltraSub: why use the deb? why not use the package manager. you could try 'sudo gdebi foo.deb' [09:32] wordToDaBird[Lap: ok, that's 2 steps, so lets start with the first [09:33] wordToDaBird[Lap: how big is your windows partition and how much empty space do you have on your ubuntu partition (or an external HDD if that's what you plan to use)? [09:33] Darwin4Ever, I have virtualbox setup already on another pc [09:33] btw, I ve still running servers (hp proliants) with debian sarge (behind a firewall of course, no restarts since 2006 :-) [09:33] I have no more repo. I only have ubuntu desktop 12.04 cd [09:34] I can hold it on my external hdd and more than enough to hold the iso. It'll be a pain in the ass to move around but I can do it. [09:34] ma kubuntu somewhat totally ignores my file type associations? [09:34] UltraSub: its connected to the internet? [09:34] wordToDaBird[Lap: ok, do you know how to back up the partition using dd? [09:34] No internet connection [09:34] no, but I can figure it out. two secs [09:34] UltraSub: you should include such facts to begin with. [09:35] thx i think that it will be fix with find . -type f -mtime +X -exec rm -rf {} \; [09:35] UltraSub: if the .deb depends on other packages you need to install them all [09:35] а почему никт оне пишут в ubuntu-ru? [09:35] DarwinSurvivor tyvm, just found what I was looking for on google. [09:35] i will test in 3 min [09:35] Byly: hmm, when is mtime update on directories? Are you sure that's what you want to do? [09:35] wordToDaBird[Lap: "sudo dd if=/dev/sdXY of=/home/my_username/windows_backup.iso" [09:35] that was the magic phrase I was missing, wasn't thinking about using dd to do it. didn't know it had any ability for writing .iso files [09:35] Can u show me what should i download to install any multimedia software? [09:36] wordToDaBird[Lap: check out https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows once you have the partition backed up [09:36] ty [09:36] wordToDaBird[Lap: also, as soon as you get it transfered, take a snapshot of it with virtualbox, then you can roll it back if you need to [09:36] Byly: find . -type f -mtime +X -delete if you want to delete files only, why "rm -rf"? [09:36] UltraSub: totally depends on the specific packages. id suggest hooking up to the internet somehow. otherwise you got a lot of work ahead of you [09:36] thx i think that it will be fix with find . -type f -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \; [09:36] sorry... [09:36] this [09:38] but i will test with -mmin +2 instead -mtime +2 in order that i can delete files that i created 2 min ago for test [09:38] i always test with -exec echo {} [09:39] yeah its run [09:39] thx for your help [09:39] Actually, i just want to install open shot on my ubuntu [09:40] !info openshot [09:40] openshot (source: openshot): Create and edit videos and movies.

[10:19] Guest93877: look for something called FreeNX [10:19] It work whit italc [10:19] !enter [10:19] .. [10:19] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:19] back, so what should I be looking for to make ubuntu connect to the ethernet? [10:19] Sigala work with Italc. [10:19] Guest93877: we can read more then 3 words per line.... [10:19] ink_: an ethernet cable? [10:19] Guest93877, Have you just tried to install it? [10:19] paopao: and you will have to update firefox etc. yourself === CoM`oFF|Disconn is now known as CoM|Disconn [10:20] yes Stueng [10:20] ink_: do you have a DHCP server on your network ? [10:20] Guest93877: italc means? and theres no need to msg me... [10:20] i think he's referring to this thing - https://sites.google.com/site/manuales20/sigala [10:21] sorry I am a noob with linux idk what you mean stueng [10:21] i dont do much researching - when im on my cellphone like i am now. ;) [10:21] is there an italian ubuntu channel? [10:21] !it | stueng [10:21] stueng: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [10:21] ink_: what network are you connecting too? [10:21] hmm you might be right on the opengl requirement being the same, are you able to get graphics acceleration on your laptop? [10:21] thats to pku! [10:21] looks at you blankly [10:21] ultrixx, that's ok, i am just worried about being attacked by some virus. [10:21] my home network [10:22] ink_: right... do you have a DSL router or something? [10:22] ink_: and what are you chatting to us from atm ? [10:22] paopao: then you should keep your installation up-to-date [10:22] paopao: biggest danger to a linux box i see on a daily basis is the end user doing somthing silly [10:22] yes a DSL router [10:22] paopao: but its still worth while to stay uopdated [10:22] and I am on my main [10:22] I need the laptop to run Linux [10:23] pku it says here http://us.battle.net/support/en/article/diablo-iii-system-requirements that you need a geeforce 260 / ati hd4870 or better to run it [10:23] i think even the latest intel hd comes in below a hd4870 in performance [10:23] ink_: on the the laptop, you have a cable plugged in? and the lights have gone green? (on the physcial ethernet port) ? [10:23] ultrixx, I mean if a new virus comes about, but i can't receive the update, then my Ubuntu would possibly be attacked [10:23] virus? ubuntu? wut [10:23] yes cable is in, but the light hasnt gone green [10:23] paopao: most likely itds not a 'virus' but some other exploit that may get your services [10:24] paopao: if a new virus should appear that is capable of exploiting some weak spots in old ubuntus, yes [10:24] ink_: does the ethernet port have a link light? that should go green? cos you need that to happen first [10:25] no it doesnt, and I know the cable works cause i ran it when I use the window part of my system [10:25] opps said a dirty word [10:25] ultrixx, well, it's really a hard choice for me, Ubuntu should support its old version [10:25] stueng: they do exist, just in labs [10:25] ink_: its rare that an ethernet port doesnt have a link light [10:25] pku, try diablo 1 ;P [10:25] ink_: have you used the ethernet port on this laptop before? [10:26] ultrixx, it upgrades so fast that i didn't even enjoy it.... [10:26] paopao: no, it would be a huge extra workload to support old versions forever. there is enough work to do to support the latest versions [10:26] yes [10:26] woohoo, just upgraded to precise. Computer speed dropped to half and experienced two Xorg crashes so far. Oh, and the bug reporting system says it's damaged and cannot process [10:26] ink_: and on the laptop if you issue from the terminal ifconfig do you see an adapter called eth0 ? [10:26] MindSpark: tried Unity2D session [10:27] paopao: 12.04 is a lts version, which means you can stay updated for 5 or 7 years [10:27] ultrixx, maybe i don't have to upgrade, i just install an anti-virus software? [10:27] MindSpark: I'd always go for a clean install. Especially with LTS [10:27] paopao: no [10:27] sorry stueng not sure what you mean [10:27] paopao: that is the wrong way [10:27] you dont know what a terminal is? [10:28] stueng no I dont [10:28] guys, Where i could find all linuxs' lifetime support? [10:28] ink_: press ctrl+alt+t [10:28] type sudo ifonconfig [10:28] ifconfig [10:28] paopao: and remember when you are on 12.04 you can stay there for a very long time [10:28] i typed ifconfig [10:28] is that alright [10:28] ActionParsnip, if it crashes again, I'll delete the cache dir [10:28] Does anyone know how to install Ubuntu 12.04 from/through fai? [10:28] and do you see eth0 ? [10:28] ultrixx, i want to let you see my desktop [10:29] yeah and got nothing with eth0 [10:29] paopao: why? [10:29] ink_: what about lo ? [10:29] no [10:29] ultrixx, i think it's really nice, and that's why i don't want to upgrade [10:29] so what did you get? (blood from a stone this) [10:29] wait yes [10:29] lo Link encap: local loopback [10:29] so you have information about lo but not eth0 ? [10:30] that whay you mean Stueng [10:30] just configured compiz niiiiiiiiice [10:30] yes === Guest91625 is now known as babilen [10:30] paopao: on what version are you? [10:30] ink_: Im fairly sure your problem exists beyond Ubuntu. The hardware of the laptop or the cable [10:30] stueng: so basically you want to risk an exploited systgem, so you can keep your current theme? [10:30] ink_: check your BIOS to make sure the ethernet port is enabled [10:30] alright, can i get it set wirelessly, because I know that entire system workds [10:31] dr_willis: eh ? [10:31] idk how to check my bios [10:31] ultrixx, I am sending it to you [10:31] that was for paopao [10:31] ;) [10:31] figured [10:31] anyone use freenx? Im finding it real sluggish [10:32] * dr_willis cleans his bi-focals [10:32] paopao: no, thanks [10:32] how do I check to see if an ethernet port is active? [10:32] VNC is quicker.. [10:32] stueng: try it with a desktop other then unity? [10:32] well, ok [10:33] dr_willis: ive been asking how to change the default session from unity to xfce for two days now and I cant seem to get an answer lol [10:33] stueng: what do you do on the remote system? [10:33] ActionPa1snip: not sure, Im just doing it cos I can [10:34] stueng: not sure for freenx. last i tried it. it gave me the login screen i selected the desktop from === snfo is now known as natediddy [10:34] something to do... [10:34] ive had issues getting freenx working in the past. not tried it lately [10:34] stueng: gotcha, no bad thing [10:34] its working in unity, just slow as hell and ive disabled composition already to get XBMC working quicker [10:34] after adding a bridge to my eth0 i cant ssh from outside anymore has anybody any idea what can be the reason? [10:35] notze: can you communicate with the device that you wish to SSH from, from the Ubuntu box? [10:35] hi [10:35] yes i can ping both ways [10:35] any idea how to recover a lost LVM volume due to a power outage? the RAID is fine (md) but the volume is just not there :( [10:35] notze: i.e is the problem with the network or SSH [10:36] lvdisplay etc shows every volume except that [10:36] i think since i know it now :DD [10:36] its network [10:37] why can't I find gnome-shell? [10:37] tsama@tsama-ThinkPad-Edge:~$ sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [10:37] Reading package lists... Done [10:37] Building dependency tree [10:37] Reading state information...

Version 3.4.1-0ubuntu2 (precise), package size 329 kB, installed size 901 kB [10:37] paopao: you are at Wuhan University? [10:37] Hello! Does anyone know of a way to install Ubuntu 12.04 to multiple computers? We've used fai (fully automated install) before [10:37] wordToDaBird[Lap: do you have Universe repo enabled? [10:37] my bad [10:37] ActionPa1snip, I believe so, I just went and uncommented the lines [10:37] Walther: could use clonezilla [10:38] clonezilla is handy [10:38] deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty universe [10:38] deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty universe [10:38] deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates universe [10:38] deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates universe [10:38] wordToDaBird[Lap: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[10:38] ActionPa1snip: Um, disk cloning probably isn't enough - we need a setup taht allows LDAP login [10:39] moin [10:39] Walther: clonezilla will just put the OS on the drives. You could setup a PXE server and boot the liveCD over the LAN [10:39] ActionPa1snip, installed none, candidate none [10:40] firas: the icon will be in the deb, it will probably be used in software centre too [10:40] its a network problem inside the vm. the bridge is not good configured so all responses get lost [10:40] ActionPalsnip: ok thnx [10:40] ActionPa1snip: How about the network configuration - if we just dd the drives, won't the network go crazy? [10:41] simple example - hostnames [10:41] is there any way to easily rollback an upgrade? i.e. I want to go back to 11.10 - I'm finding that 12.04 is broken for a number of my packages. [10:41] Talisman`Work, no. you must reinstall 11.10 [10:41] Talisman`Work: no [10:41] hey guys quick question on ubuntu 12.04 how do i edit my startup programs, like in windows it would be msconfig then the startup apps [10:42] Walther: sure you can install over LAN but it will only happen once to get the install done [10:42] OK, great. then... if I reinstall 11.10 will it reinitialise my partitions? [10:42] vexaxv: search dash for startup [10:42] Talisman`Work, in future you can use the concept of backup. you can take full system backup. using cp -R or something like that and then you will be able to restore backup points. [10:42] Talisman`Work, which partitions you have? [10:42] ActionPa1snip, thanks man [10:42] Abhijit lol... I don't do backups [10:43] anyone on here like desura? [10:43] Talisman`Work, dont lol. i have burned my hands on this joke that i dont take backups. take it seriously. backups are serious! [10:43] After installing recent updates (new kernel), my LUKS encrypted system does no longer boot. It says: evms_activate not available. If I boot the previous kernel, I do not get this error. How do I fix this? [10:43] Abhijit I have an ext4 partition. [10:43] I have a ejabberd server with LDAP auth and a shared roster configure and running, the problem is when i want to show the "displayName" from LDAP as nickname on ejabberd client, it dont run automatically its need to push on user right click > get info then show the displayName as nickname but i need it automatically.... ¿anyone? [10:43] Talisman`Work, no. 'which' partitions you have? not the 'what' partition type you have [10:44] Talisman`Work: part of the 11.10 install is to setup partitions so you can just mark the existing partitions for formatting and to be used for the same role, or you can wipe them out and repartition. Be sure you backup everything you need [10:44] Abhijit I don't backup anything except my critical data/files... too much to backup if doing the whole OS everytime [10:44] / /boot/ home etc? [10:44] Talisman`Work, the whole os is much much less than our regular music and video files [10:44] http://imagebin.org/213398 [10:44] Abhijit I don't even bother with /boot... I just do what's in /home and whatever db directories required - the rest I rebuild. [10:45] Abhijit I don't have music/videos on my systems [10:45] i'm running gnome 3, i have kde also installed, but in gnome3 the apps list shows 2 icons of each app, and even shows executables with no icons [10:45] Talisman`Work, 11.10 wont do anything to your /home but / and /boot will b e modified [10:45] ActionPa1snip can it be marked to not initialise the partition? [10:45] I don't want to upgrade.... [10:46] Talisman`Work: sure you can partition and not set a mount point, you can even set it to not format the partition but use it as a mount opint, retaining the data [10:46] firas, #gnome on irc.gnome.org [10:46] ActionPa1snip that sounds more like what I want... thanks. [10:47] ActionPa1snip, but he needs to partitions the / ?? [10:47] Talisman`Work, terminal > "sudo fdisk -l" will shouw you which partitions you have. [10:47] Talisman`Work: just read the screen and you'll be ok. If al else fails you can use your backups [10:47] Abhijit it's already partitioned. [10:47] Talisman`Work, i mean format while installing the new os [10:47] Abhijit: sure but if a seperate /home has been used you can mark it to be used as /home but not formatted [10:47] ActionPa1snip rofl. yeh.. I'll cp my data to my portable tonight. [10:48] ActionPa1snip, yes right [10:48] Talisman`Work: you'll need to mark the partition for / to be formatted [10:48] Abhijit ideally I don't want to initialise the partitions at all. [10:48] Talisman`Work: I suggest you do it more regularly [10:48] simply install 11.10 over the existing setup. [10:49] ActionPa1snip I'm not to worried about it. but thanks for the concern - you and Abhijit both :-) [10:49] hello again, so I have another question [10:49] It's not a production system by any means [10:49] ActionPa1snip, Abhijit : thanks for your assistance - much appreciated :-) [10:49] the ethernet ports work fine on my system as windows, do I need to manually down and bring them all over onto the ubuntu system to get it to work with the internet? [10:50] Is anybody here not a fan of Unity's fading menus? [10:50] * Talisman`Work hates gnome in general [10:50] i'm running gnome 3, i have kde also installed, but in gnome3 the apps list shows 2 icons of each app, and even shows executables with no icons (no answer at gnome irc) [10:51] too bad fubuntu isn't more active [10:51] imho, fluxbox ftw [10:51] Talisman`Work: install ubuntu minimal then install fluxbox [10:51] ink: what do you mean by down and bring them all over? [10:51] but... that's all subjective [10:51] Talisman`Work, welcome [10:51] ActionPa1snip I may just do that. [10:52] Talisman`Work: there used to be fluxbuntu too (unofficial of course) [10:52] evilgeenius, i am not a fan of unity at all. does that count? [10:52] !fluxbox [10:52] fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox [10:52] well if te ubuntu isnt seeing them, do they have ti be manually loaded onto ubuntu system since its partitioned from the windows system? [10:52] Talisman`Work: minimal + fluxbox + slim = about 1.3Gb installed :) [10:52] why not xubuntu ? [10:52] firas, have you tired the channel i suggested? [10:52] Abhijit: you don't count [10:52] :-( [10:52] HELP: I ran a second x-session last time now I am not able login or start any x-session? only guest account is working.Any idea about what should I do? [10:52] Abhijit: yes u did [10:52] Abhijit: you shouldn't be here [10:53] Abhijit: i mean, yes I did [10:53] evilgeenius, :-o [10:53] stueng: fluxbox doesn't need a DE :) [10:53] firas, ok [10:53] evilgeenius, stop that [10:53] ActionPa1snip :-D I've been using fluxbox on gentoo for about 7 years now - from the 2004.1 release. never looked back... [10:53] bazhang: stop what? [10:54] evilgeenius, attacking others, being offtopic [10:54] Talisman`Work: I'm an lxde kinda guy :). Fluxbox is badass though [10:54] No ratpoison love? [10:54] I'm using ubuntu on my laptop, however, and it came with gnome :( - I managed to install fluxbox, as well as e17 [10:54] stueng? [10:54] Abhijit: I apologize for my sins [10:54] gh0ul can't say I've tried ratpoison though ... [10:54] I don't use it anymore. a KDE 4 man now [10:55] But did use it for years [10:55] bazhang: I can't see how saying "you shouldn't be here" is any kind of attack. [10:55] e17 is a very nice bling desktop... too bad Raster won't commit to releasing it... [10:55] can you partition the drive that is in use ? [10:55] should fluxbox work over freenx ? [10:55] i'm running gnome 3, i have kde also installed, but in gnome3 the apps list shows 2 icons of each app, and even shows executables with no icons [10:55] HELP: I ran a second x-session last time now I am not able login or start any x-session? only guest account is working.Any idea about what should I do? [10:55] stueng fluxbox only needs Xwindows to work [10:55] firas, maybe try askubuntu? there you may get better help [10:57] trying to install windows on a seperate drive but it says it needs to use some of my main one ( the one i have ubuntu on ) but that it needs to be partitioned/seperately formatted for windows..can i partition this drive using gparted while running ubuntu? [10:57] gh0ul I find kde to be too heavy (ram/diskspace) for my liking. [10:57] sk1special why not install windows in a virtual machine? [10:57] no partitioning required. [10:57] Talisman`Work: it's 2012.. [10:58] sk1special, yes you can partitions drive using gparted while logged on in ubuntu. but you need to unmount that partitions. [10:58] I can hold 1000 kdes on my hard drives, and have enough ram to run it 10 times... [10:58] I'm all past that lightweight thing :) [10:58] lol === ariana is now known as mdupont2 [10:58] Hello, I've some issue with the apache server, .htaccess file not working? any idea? [10:58] Talisman: i have windows installed allready..its just broken so i want to delete/reinstall it. but cant with out yeah. [10:58] gh0ul, lets get back on topic [10:58] runs really smooth on my machine, and it's really not a top one... [10:58] gh0ul: it doesnt do a song and dance to get where it needs to be, you click and it goes [10:58] bazhang: is there a topic? we were talking about window managers? [10:59] gh0ul: topic == support [10:59] abhijit: ah okay.. its not gonna kill anything when i do it right? and how to unmount? just right click unmount like for the secondary? [10:59] gh0ul, yes. ubuntu support. chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:59] any idea how to recover a lost LVM volume due to a power outage? the RAID is fine (md) but the volume is just not there :( [10:59] ok, is there an ubuntu talk channel where I don't get threatened with a +b for talking? [10:59] ok then [10:59] bai [10:59] sk1special, yes right click -> unmount. [10:59] dear linux I hate you Love Ink, === CoM|Disconn is now known as CoM`oFF|Disconn [10:59] thanks guys [10:59] !away > CoM`oFF|Disconn [10:59] CoM`oFF|Disconn, please see my private message [11:00] abhijit: said cannot unmount most likely..something with other partitions must do manually [11:01] . most likely other partitions are mounted on this point* [11:01] sk1special, which partition is that? [11:02] /dev/sdb1 main one [11:02] no i mean whats the mount point? [11:03] you can not unmount / and /home [11:03] while logged on that is [11:03] yeah its / [11:03] I am trying to install 12.04 LTS Server and even though I download the i386 version it says that the kernel is for a 64 bit CPU.. [11:03] so how do i do this lol? [11:03] sk1special, if you re partitions this / your current ubuntu will be gone. do you know this? [11:03] crescent_sun: then you got the 64bit ISO [11:04] Abhijit: no .. tear. is there a way to partition this drive that wont kill ubnutu? [11:04] ubuntu* [11:04] to start fluxbox do you just install it and then run "fluxbox" from terminal to start X etc? [11:05] sk1special, no. however you can resize / (with caution and on your own responsibility) that will give you free space [11:05] StevenR: i believe it's 'startfluxbox' [11:05] ah ok [11:06] Abhijit: is it that dangerous ? and would that new free space be formattable? [11:06] sk1special, and fore that resizing you need to be in the live session mode or use http://partedmagic.com/doku.php [11:06] ActionPa1snip: so I guess that ubuntu.com says that you can download a 32-bit iso but it is really a 64-bit iso [11:07] should I report this anywhere? [11:07] sk1special, one hdd can have only 4 primary partitions. beyound that you can not create new partitions. but you can have as many as possible extended partitions [11:07] crescent_sun: if you suspect one then yes [11:07] so in this case if you have crossed that limit of 4 primary partitions then you can not format that new extra free space === as456fgt is now known as dury [11:08] Abhijit: no i have 3 partitions i guess that ubuntu itself created when i installed it.. and i have a seperate hdd that has one plus some unallocated space, [11:09] sk1special, yeah then you may be able to format that new extra free space [11:09] when i went to reinstall windows..it said i need to create a partition for it to use to save some stuff on my main drive ( the one with ubuntu on it ) [11:09] hmmm no idea about that. not used windows in past 3 years [11:11] Ahjiti: idk ive always has issues when not install windows on the primary.. one hdd is ide.. one is sata..do you know how i could make the sata second and the ide primary? and would that mess up ubuntu? [11:11] sk1special, no idea about any windows issues. try ##windows [11:12] sk1special, making something parimary and something else secondary wont harm ubuntu [11:12] sk1special: if you delete a partition (which will destroy the data), you can then install to the empty space [11:12] anyone know how to stop Ubuntu from starting a GUI upon boot ? [11:13] abhijit: not windows.. more hardware. id know how to use jumpers between ide drives..but it didnt work like that for me for sata vs ide. [11:13] stueng: add the boot option: text [11:13] ActionPa1snip: whats that mean :) [11:13] sk1special, i dont understand what you mean [11:14] can someone please provide me good-link to read "how to manually configure wireless, without NetworkManager for RT2651 card" ?? [11:14] Action: whats up yeah.. but i have two working partitons with space on them..one being ubuntu that i dont want to loose..and the other being windows that wants me to use ubuntus hdd [11:14] stueng: run: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub and find the line with: quiet splash and change it to: quiet splash text [11:14] googled..but couldn't found any good one. [11:14] stueng: save the new file, close gedit and run: sudo update-grub [11:15] how can i make a back up on my ubuntu 10.04 desktop?

[11:45] ikonia, I have zero clue as to how to fix it [11:45] hi all. can someone gives me an hint about the reason why if i run update-grub from two different installation (sda1 and sda2) it has effect only in one case? thanks.

I thought you'd know. you sounded all informed and stuff [11:46] actionParsnip, lets move on please [11:46] ikonia, a dns server would do probably, but I have no idea how to install/configure one [11:47] actionParsnip: I am, I'm just making conversation.

[12:44] master_, there is a bash chat room #bash [12:45] I've got a strange issue with super key ... using system settings -> keyboard i bind "Super-T" to terminal ... works fine ... then i bind "Super-E" to home and "Super-L" to lock screen ... in both cases i get the search bar (as if super wasn't pressed) [12:45] any ideas? [12:45] so you are trying to install Kubuntu, but you have 3 windows installs allread????? [12:46] hje841: are you using the machines ip or dns name? [12:46] I have ubuntu within windows alongside another non-linux on Windows partition. My backup partition has kubuntu. Xubuntu is on SDHC card. [12:47] e2b04836, IP. [12:47] DFrostedWang: ok, that's full on man. what's the issue your having? [12:48] i have eclipse in ~/.eclipse/eclipse... and i want create a launcher for it [12:48] anyone knows a good way to set up a VPN connection between 2 servers [12:48] in ubuntu [12:48] hje841: that is very strange indeed i'm all out of ideas [12:48] it won't launch [12:48] doesnt show up [12:48] I should point something out, though.

[12:49] When my machine turns on I have kubuntu bootloader asking how to boot. I have to choose the Windows bootloader from there to boot something on Windows partition. [12:51] DFrostedWang: ok. I can only assume if you cant see the SDHC card, that it's not mounting properly. i think you will have to modify the bootloader to get that to happen. but that's about the best advice i can offer. hope it helps. [12:51] how [12:51] ? [12:51] the bootloader is called grub [12:52] top google result for mound sdhc in grub doesnt offer much confidence sorry [12:52] http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2012-03/msg01484.html [12:53] hello! im having some issues with fglrx and jockey-gtk. fglrx crasches and has terrible performance [12:53] and gain [12:54] whats the best way of fixing it?

Version 3.4.0-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 379 kB, installed size 1584 kB [13:18] I need help with quintuple boot. Specifically SDHC card. [13:19] After installing recent updates (new kernel), my LUKS encrypted system does no longer boot. It says: evms_activate not available. If I boot the previous kernel, I do not get this error. How do I fix this? [13:20] nh2: its still there see http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/gnome-power-manager [13:21] LinuxMonkey: yes, that's the package, but it doesn't contain the binary any more for some reason [13:21] i really like linux but it is so hard to get away from windows [13:21] how can i find out in ubuntu where a windows .lnk link is pointing to? [13:21] escott: upowerd? does that also start the gnome applet? [13:21] vadi: i read a blog post once that said that's the one way to be sure to get help in a linux chat room. what exactly are you having trouble with [13:22] nh2, thats the daemon. looks like you can install the old gui if thats what you want [13:22] badabum: I think you can open it in an editor, e.g. gedit [13:22] tdn: with no expertise on that specific errormessage, seems you new kernel lacks some luks-ability, where is it from ? encryption enabled ? same keyalgo like aes,dsa then previous system ? luks/modules there ? [13:22] wine, i have read wine but not sure how to operate programs in it [13:22] nh2: i tried that, it can't open it [13:22] escott: how? and what is the thing that is shown in unity as the battery applet? [13:23] badabum: hmm true, they seem to be binary [13:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1000818/ [13:23] vadi: wine has it's own channel. Not really looked after here. but as always, read the manual. if you WANT to get away from windows, it will take plenty of reading. head to wine.org [13:23] DasEi, well, the kernel is the default one used when installing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit alternate. I have not done anything to explicitly enable any luks modules. Neither have I done this in previous versions of Ubuntu since 7.04 and up until now. [13:24] badabum: but if you open it with an editor that can display text inside binaries (e.g. vim), you are at least able to make out the path [13:24] thanks snowie [13:24] vadi: sorry, winehq.org [13:24] thanks. [13:25] tdn: raid possibly ? [13:25] nh2: vim gives me a lot of garbled text with lots of @s in it [13:25] i have been doing reading on linux and it is very nice. windows kinda ruins people i believe [13:25] hey Snowie: it's me tester_ here is my problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/1000818/ [13:25] badabum: yes, but for me it contains the path somewhere in beween [13:25] Hi!

[13:26] anybody might have an idea what can be wrong with it? [13:26] nh2: found it, thanks [13:26] tester: first off why are you running as root? [13:26] vadi: i have come and gone from linux distros many times. BUT, i have been using ubuntu as my desktop now for over 3 years. just generally. lovin it [13:26] tdn: so I'd boot a live system, then open it from there and, after chrooting in, recheck initramfs, update/grade and then update-grub [13:26] pfalcon, 1: check if you can access it from another site, 2: tcptraceroute it. [13:27] LinuxMonkey: i'm sending to the root user at another machine.... [13:27] tester: all i did was ask what problem you were having, and that's WAY beyond my depth. Anyone? [13:27] DasEi, I can boot the previous kernel (just did that now). Can't I just recheck initramfs, update/grade, etc. from here? [13:27] DasEi, and how to recheck initramfs, and so on? [13:27] tdn: essentially, we have it in automated build system in the cloud, and some (and only some) packages started to throw 403 couple of hours ago [13:28] DasEi, I have a terminal open with root shell. [13:28] pfalcon, check tcptraceroute? [13:28] tdn: the command sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade spits no errors ? [13:28] pfalcon, and check if you can reach it from elsewhere. Also, do you use any proxy? [13:28] why i am getting no rule to make target clean on make clean command [13:29] tdn: do you have an idea if Ubuntu EC2 S3 mirror is under maintenance now? [13:29] DasEi, no errors. [13:29] prateekp: i have no context, but what target are you trying to make clean? [13:29] Snowie: wat's wrong ? I'm new . so getting habitual to it might take time....can you help me out ? [13:29] tdn: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ? [13:29] hi all.. [13:29] pfalcon, no, did you check the things I suggested? [13:30] DasEi, no errors on dist-upgrade either. [13:30] Hello. Any idea how to remove the “Shut down …” and “Software up to date” lines in Ubuntu 12.04’s logout menu? [13:30] okay. i have two hdds. primary via sata and has ubuntu 12.04 , secondary via ide and has windows xp pro. now my xp pro messed up and i had to reinstall. the start up menu list that shows ubuntu , safe mode windows whatever boot options , the shortcut there to windows no longer works im assuming since i reinstalled its a diff address or something ish lol. how do i fix this? [13:30] tdn: cd /boot/grub && sudo updateinitramfs -u [13:30] I have a toshiba laptop, 12.04 installed with chicony usb cam. which pack do i need to downlaod to test my video cam functioning? [13:30] tester: you probably dont have ssh keys on that system [13:30] i have few notepad files saved in windows, when i open them in unix getting wierd characters at end of each line/column [13:30] snowie: target means [13:30] DasEi, zsh: command not found: updateinitramfs [13:30] subb1: “xawtv” for example [13:31] tester: if im right, yur trying to ssh to a box that's giving you grief. I use ubuntu as my desktop, so i really dont know how to help. try describing your issue a little bit. a random error wont help the many experts in here give you advice [13:31] tdn: tcptraceroute works, its some .deb files referenced in Packages file are gone from their location apparently [13:31] DasEi, mkinitramfs? [13:31] tdn: cd /boot/grub && sudo update-initramfs -u [13:31] typo, sry [13:31] pfalcon, can you get those packages from other networks? (from the same mirror) [13:31] sk1special, boot linux and run "sudo update-grub" [13:32] snowie: target means [13:32] ? [13:32] pfalcon, and I am not interested in if tcptraceroute "works", obviously you can reach the server if you get 403. However, maybe the route is different and the enpoint different. Maybe a transparent proxy? [13:32] tdn: will take a minute or so, no errors ? [13:32] escott: on ubuntu now..lemme try it [13:32] snowie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1000818/ every time it gives me conn. reset by peer [13:32] tdn: not really, without lot of manual hacking around. again, it's automated system which "just works". or breaks ;-) [13:32] mmk brb to check [13:33] Hi there, I recall there's a tool that automatically "backports" some packages from +1 distribution [13:33] do you know the name of the tool?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [13:33] pfalcon, well, right now it has "broken", so you must do some manual debugging. [13:33] DasEi: no I would like to backport something that is not there [13:34] LinuxMonkey: i'v tried by keeping same rsa file at both side and change the sshd_config......but still it gives me error: socket read: conn. reset by peer [13:34] prateekp: exactly. its telling you your trying to run a clean command. all commands have a target. the thing your executing the command on. apparently that target cant be cleaned, its against the rules. what are you trying to do when you get that error. i gaurantee i wont have the answer, but that's where the problem is [13:34] DasEi: i need a new ocaml package which is in quantal [13:34] Does btrfs require defragmantation?

Im sure one of the experts in here is watching me fumble with this and may have an answer [13:36] DasEi: it's prevu! [13:36] vincenzoml: prevu ? [13:37] pfalcon, ok, I do not know Jenkins.

[13:38] ok i ask it again .. why do i get No rule to make target clean while i do make clean [13:38] now im trying to upgrade my xp to win 8 ..and after a few failed attempts ive learned its because i need to update my motherboard. id rather use ubuntu for this.. what would be the safest most stable way to update it without killing anything ? [13:39] did anyone ever hear of prevu and do you know what can I use instead of it? [13:39] Can anyone help me?

[13:54] dash: euh, try all F keys, think one of them should just give you a login [13:54] or hit enter [13:54] or we [13:55] should not need a password for those [13:55] My local terminal is rxvt-unicode-256color, but I'm ssh'd into a server that doesn't know what type of terminal that is, so there are various functions that don't work.

[13:58] Snowie[noobspert: something like that, [13:58] hello, i need to forward email for a certain user to a hotmail address - is there an easy way to do that?? please help!! [13:59] sk1special: technically possible yes, stick with the procedures your mobo manufacturer suplies though. bricked mobo's are pretty useless [13:59] odinswand: sure. is this email you're receiving via SMTP? [13:59] Snowie[noobspert, thanks [13:59] dash: yes [13:59] odinswand: what MTA are you using? [13:59] I shrunk /dev/sda2 witch had windows on it. When i went to add it to the table it said the partition table could only have 4 [13:59] dash euh, when you boot the livecd you should get the choice for installing ubuntu or booting a live cd, etc [13:59] dash: mta? [13:59] DFrostedWang, You might want to check out the differences between Primary, Extended, and Logical partitions. [13:59] acicula: i don't have a live cd, i have a microsd card with an installer image on it [13:59] acicula: ah yeah..thats why i wanted to do it here haha. sudo apt-get install awesome new bios. trying to upgrade to win 8 but need to upgrade that and last time it killed my drive [14:00] Sidewinder: How? [14:00] dash: just the kernel and initrd or something? [14:00] acicula: this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/MX5/QuickStart [14:00] DFrostedWang: Google will help here. You can only have 4 primary partitions, but an larger number of extended partitions. [14:00] /dev/sda2 is primary. /dev/sda3 is extended [14:00] dash: right [14:00] i only have 4 counting the extended [14:01] It says that's the max [14:01] Let me try again... [14:01] dash: postfix? [14:01] DFrostedWang, This should explain all: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning [14:01] DFrostedWang: are you trying to add extended partitions or primary partitions? Make sure you specify. [14:02] odinswand: hmm, i am not a postfix expert. but I believe you can edit /etc/aliases and add "youruser: someuser@hotmail.com" [14:02] odinswand: and it'll use that for forwarding [14:02] odinswand: or you can put "someuser@hotmail.com" in /home/youruser/.forward [14:02] nitzer_: when did you first get this problem === esm is now known as Guest35164 [14:04] I need to add one for xubuntu [14:04] hey, I 'm trying to change my police font on unity, but can't find the dialog to do that, any pointer?

[14:08] I can't seem to resize my windows partition of my hard drive. It thinks I want to make another primary when I just want an extended. [14:08] vlt: for sure - unity is just one option - the default one - others might be selected at the login screen. thats why i was asking if you are using unity in the first place [14:09] DFrostedWang: What did you do?

[14:30] usalabs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1772220 ? [14:30] wine cannot execute programs that require DirectX, it warns that it cannot initialize OpenGL. Then compiz crashes. As I'm on a 64-bit system, I suspected my 32-bit opengl libs were not completely there, and I was right: Looking at the .xsession_errors file, I saw that I lacked libvdpau_nvidia.so. After some adventures with installing different things, I finally managed to settle on nvidia-current that had that file. The wine error didn't [14:30] disappear, and compiz errors changed. This is a log of the entire compiz session from start, the executing of the wine program and then the crashing (I used &> to pipe): http://paste.ubuntu.com/1000938/ The wine error looks like this: http://pastebin.com/RHEqt9xD (particularily important are I think the lines 345-348). Any ideas?

[14:33] Is that commin' from the "Head Chump?" ;-) [14:33] aaagh. dang upgrade wiped my pdnsd config too :( and I didn't get a prompt for it. lesson learned, back up /etc when working w/ ubuntu [14:33] nemo I want to remove the 'shutdown/restart' button on the login screen, not disable switch user [14:33] nemo: indeed, its about 3Mb in size [14:34] usalabs: your question described ctrl-alt-l and switch user... [14:34] * nemo shrugs [14:34] oh. whew. there *is* still the dpkg version [14:35] er. no. n/m [14:35] that's something totally different :(. it is gone. [14:36] nemo, yes, true, but if there's more than a few users, and they switch by pressing CTRL-ALT-L then click switch user, but while the screen is locked, anyone can touch any key, then click on switch user, then click the power icon, and select restart or shutdown,,,,, I want the power icon completely removed, so that other users can stilll switch, but no-one can restart or shut it down while screen is locked [14:37] usalabs: m'k. seems disabling switching would be more reliable if you don't trust your users [14:37] usalabs: and after all, isn't like there's anything preventing people from just pressing the power switch [14:37] unless you disconnect that too [14:38] I can't believe ubuntu makes it this hard to configure dnsmasq - whatever happened to using /etc and init.d and whatnot? I've grepped through all of /etc and see no hint of the stuff I see on the dnsmasq commandline [14:38] nemo I trust the users, but not the people around them,,,,, the pc's are in an air conditioned, locked unit [14:38] usalabs, Not to ask a totally dumb question, but even after removing said icons and controls, what's to prevent some one from simply pulling the plug?

[16:08] madzik: however again, unless you KNOW you NEED to recompile, I wouldn't try it, and if you do KNOW you NEED to recompile you'll NEED the specific compile options your app wants [16:08] lledet: ok, so you need to look at why the user you are sending mail is not matching that auth table [16:08] Any help would be greatly appreciated, as my laptop is completely defunct at the moment. =) [16:09] Laika: what window manager are you using? [16:09] madzik: saying "it's the only thing left" is not a reason to re-compile, more so if you have no reason to think it's the problem or no fix in compile options [16:09] Compiz I think.

[16:12] nasello, this is a support channel [16:13] Vivekananda, when you start your rsync session start it with "screen -dmS rsync-cron rsync arguments" then you should be able to steal it with screen -RR -D rsync-cron [16:13] !openvpn | syria_ [16:13] syria_: OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks!

[16:15] Vivekananda, so the script would first start rsync with "screen -dmS rsync-cron rsync ..." then later you can "export DISPLAY=:0" and "gnome-terminal -- screen -RR -D rsync-cron" [16:15] good day [16:16] Laika: how did you set that program up to run at startup?

[17:23] MinaKumar: lol [17:23] heh [17:24] i suggest using cinnamon everyone if you are suffering performance with unity [17:24] I suggest xfce, or lubuntu [17:24] since they are supported here. ;) [17:24] I suggest Windows [17:24] lol [17:24] lol [17:25] Dr_Willis, if someone is using ancient machine, cinnamon is good choice [17:25] cinnamon is not suported by this channel. and lubuntu works very well on low end machines [17:26] Someone was mentioning movie editors earlier today and i cant recall the name of one that has a easy feature to cut a video into 'scenes/parts' [17:26] Dr_Willis, i mean if someone using ancient computer they can use xfce, if not and suffer, they can use cinnamon [17:26] Windows is the best choice. download it free at http://thepiratebay.com [17:26] I reccomend lubuntu. lxde is not going to vanish overnight like cinnamon could. [17:26] Dr_Willis, why it is not supported? [17:26] !ot | MinaKumar [17:26] MinaKumar: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [17:27] dontknow: its not in the official ubuntu repos, so its not supported by ubuntu, or its devs, or this channel. === zz_Phaiax is now known as Phaiax [17:27] Dr_Willis, they should put in official repos :D [17:27] they who? [17:28] Dr_Willis, canonical [17:28] you want the ubuntu devs to spend time on it? not likely. [17:28] Dr_Willis, it would be better than unity :D [17:29] I find unity works very well. [17:29] Dr_Willis, i didn't find [17:30] !cinelerra [17:30] Cinelerra is a video editor and compositor that cannot be included in Ubuntu for legal reasons. Install instructions can be found on http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu [17:30] Dr_Willis, it is for new systems [17:30] and lubuntu is the reccomendation for low end systems [17:31] Dr_Willis, lubuntu is not practical [17:31] dontknow, try gnome-shell or panel [17:32] where is the logging file for iptables? [17:32] c0deMaster, usually in /var/log/ [17:32] Is Cinamon the default window manager of Linux Mint? I thought it was simply a custom Gnome2 [17:32] why do you always argue about window managers and shit? why don't you use text mode? [17:32] OerHeks, using cinnamon right now, i am ok with it [17:33] LucidGuy, it uses gnome shell [17:34] dontknow, So then whats Cinamon? [17:34] LucidGuy, gnome3 fork, something like that :D [17:34] !cinnamon [17:35] lol OerHeks there's no information about that [17:35] and that shit is not supported here [17:35] join #cinnamon [17:35] try to watch your language, MinaKumar. [17:35] gnome3? eww. I thought someone commented that Cinnamon was a fast window manager... Gnome3 is a big from my experience. [17:36] LucidGuy, gnome2 is dead. [17:36] why ubuntu updates firefox but doesn't update chromium? [17:36] OerHeks, not with RHEL [17:36] hey all got a tricky one for ya today....... [17:37] does anyone know what to do when somebody wipes the partition table on a drive that had a home folder encrypted? [17:37] LucidGuy, it is going offtopic, yes, for Fedora too. [17:37] OerHeks: don't say that bullshit. gnome 2 is alive as hell [17:37] OerHeks, my office is on Lucid still, mainly because of Unity and all the other poor options out there. [17:37] gypseh, restore the partition table [17:37] i wiped it a few times and it still shows the data there even when the partition table is destroyed and recreated [17:38] !updates [17:38] !update [17:38] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [17:38] gypseh, do you want to destroy the data? [17:38] and the worst part is i dont have the key [17:38] yea i have a 60gb ssd that is showing up as a 57gb drive with 1.3gb used [17:39] and with ssds the more data on them the slower they move....so you see why im kinda bugged [17:39] !language > MinaKumar [17:39] MinaKumar, please see my private message [17:39] gypseh, you could check if your ssd supports ATA TRIM [17:40] it does and it was enabled but i cant seem to disable the !security flag [17:40] is there a version of x-lite for ubuntu or an equivalent "softphone" application? [17:40] So, at this point, I think my 12.04 system is fairly destroyed. [17:40] why ubuntu updates firefox but doesn't update chromium? [17:40] internal errors with the packaging system. [17:40] !voip [17:40] VoIP is Voice over IP. The default VoIP client for Ubuntu is !Ekiga. There is also an xmpp voice component in !Empathy. Kubuntu Clients include Kphone and Twinkle. Proprietary Clients include !Skype and Gizmo5. VoIP server applications include Asterisk and Yate ( both in repositories ), FreePBX, and SipX. [17:40] keep happening. [17:40] dontknow: they update both [17:40] anyone familiar with ubuntu and iscsi? [17:40] did you install chromium from a non-repository location? [17:40] dontknow: depends whats in the repo, if there is no update to be had it won't be updated.... === sins-_j is now known as sins- [17:41] "Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error." [17:41] JessicaW: yes, what do you want to know? [17:41] updates normally happen in packages after release for security or other major bug fixs [17:41] i tried just about every utill i could find one of the tools actually scanned all 60.2 gigs and claimed to wipe it but alas no dice [17:41] OerHeks, thanks. [17:41] ActionParsnip, but someone can install firefox or chromium without adding extra repo but it only updates firefox [17:42] is there a program that will remove the security flag\ encryption stuff ? [17:42] dontknow, chromium 19 will be in the repo soon. [17:42] maybe the repository is not getting the updated chromium [17:42] gypseh, you are going to have to be more specific about things, but i would just mark the whole disk empty with hdparm and trim, and then create a new partition table [17:42] !blender [17:42] blender is a free application for 3D modelling, animation, rendering, etc. You can install it from Ubuntu's repositories, and tutorials are at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro [17:42] prhaps gypseh the drive really has the new measurement of Gigs rather than the old, and they are counting 1000 instead of 1024 [17:42] MinaKumar: I have a weird situation that I can't figure out. using a dell MD3220i with two direct connections. it was mounted by device name. I changed to uuid and after reboot, one of the directories is missing. df -h still shows that 2TB are being used but the two viewable directories are empty. [17:42] OerHeks, you mean official repo? [17:42] Yes. [17:43] MinaKumar: sorry about the book btw. There's just no short way to explain it. [17:43] OerHeks, how do you know, are you the guy who put it in repo? [17:43] fraterm makes sense but even still post wipe it shows data on the partition [17:44] i tried using hdparm -Y /dev/sda like it said in partedmagic and it does the wipe but no dice [17:44] gypseh, well that is ... odd. [17:44] see i encrypted a home folder....on a few diff failed installs.......(fuck 12.04 and unity......) [17:45] it just likes to die....and kill SSDS [17:45] !language | gypseh [17:45] gypseh: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [17:45] OerHeks, it is too late, there will probably be second v19 update soon, ubuntu is late unfortunately [17:45] so is there anything i can do to fix this? [17:45] gypseh, why dont you paste exactly what you are doing and what you are seeing [17:45] !paste | gypseh [17:45] gypseh: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [17:47] gypseh, you are being far too vague for us to offer any help [17:49] oi [17:49] escott [17:50] I would find pasting the contents of my particular error easy, if I could actually copy and paste the text in some of these error dialogues. [17:50] i used the encypt home folder option on a few diff failed installs and simply wiped instead of decrypting and now i have lost space that i can not partition it to see the full disk [17:50] I'll have to screenshot these things. [17:51] a pastebin of 'sudo fdisk -l' may be helpfull [17:51] you don't need sudo [17:52] or yes you do. derp. [17:52] Is there a version of ubuntu designed for not-nerd people? [17:52] !pastebinit | fraterm [17:52] fraterm: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [17:52] and when i wipe it regardless of what tools i use the partition menu only alows me to make a 57gb partition and on top of that it says theres 1.30gb used even after making a new partition table and what not [17:52] and no i dont see how thats vague at all [17:52] and how big is this hard drive? [17:52] Hey guys. [17:52] its default ubuntu encryption.......and i did the thing like 4 seprate times [17:52] gypseh, how about the output of sudo parted -l /dev/sdb for a start === MonserrateM is now known as Mitchell_M [17:53] its a 60.02gb ocz ssd sata III [17:53] Does anybody know a list of what LDAP offers to domains? [17:53] I find the documentation so in-depth, you can't actually find out what to use it for [17:53] Sidewinder, fine and good, but these errors are actually coming from things that a control+C and a right click copy will not copy. [17:53] though they are text [17:53] escott what part of i cant take screens or boot into an os via the ssd did you not understand? [17:53] Is there a version of ubuntu designed for not-nerd people? [17:53] Macintosh? [17:54] the dialogue boxes do not expose the content of the error message in such a way that I can paste them. [17:54] i only stated that i am on a seprate box 5 times...... [17:54] sfsf32: all of them are pretty user-friendly [17:54] gypseh, the part where you are unwilling to do anything to get help [17:54] escott stop being a dick [17:54] fraterm, Nothin's ever easy; I just thought that pastebinit might help; sorry for butting in. :) [17:54] a live cd would be handy in this case. [17:54] Hey everyone, wondering if there was anyone who has tried to use a bash script to disable account list login page that worked on Ubuntu 10 but not on 122? [17:54] !attitude | gypseh [17:54] gypseh: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [17:54] Sidewinder, nah, just expressing some frustration at the error dialogues. [17:54] If anyone has this problem can you tell me how you solved it [17:54] Understood. [17:55] Mitchell_M: 'account list login page' ? whats that exactly? [17:55] Oh, and that's supposed to say 12 not 122 [17:55] i simply asked wtf to do to undo encryption when the key has been lost theres no generic method? [17:55] Dr_Willis You know that startup page when you install ubuntu that shows the accounts you have [17:55] gypseh: you lost the encryption key? [17:55] Mitchell_M: you mean the 'login screen' ? [17:55] !wtf gypseh [17:55] gypseh: do you wanna delete the entire thing? [17:55] gypseh: if you could do that easily, it would hardly be a secure system, would it? [17:55] because otherwise you're screwed [17:55] Um, how can I get a list of all external network connections to this machine? [17:55] yea i said it was encrypted then the kernel update failed...soo i formatted it [17:55] Yep, sorry for using a funny name [17:56] Something very weird just happened, like somebody remote controlling the mouse [17:56] cause i had no means to go in manually and repair it at the time [17:56] Ca11um: do you use VNC? [17:56] Mitchell_M: LightDM is whats used by 12.04 - any of your tweaks/hacks for the old reelase wont work. [17:56] Nope [17:56] Mitchell_M: check out various lightdm tweak/configs to get it how you want. === isaacs is now known as Guest98115 [17:56] Ca11um: if you run: netstat -tap it will show the connections [17:56] All I've installed is Steam (via Wine), XChat, and Thunderbird [17:56] Dr_Willis: I see, okay. I'll look into that [17:57] Thanks, ActionParsnip [17:57] Seems to be nothing, but it was weird [17:57] Mouse randomly moved around the screen, dragged, and then right-clicked [17:58] and now it wont let me partition to the full size of the drive...and when i partition......it says 57.8gb partition with 1.3gb used....even after formatting [17:58] gypseh: formatting to what filesystem? [17:58] so some how.... there has to be a way to disable the !security flag that hirens sees [17:58] ubuntuforums [17:58] i have tried ntfs fat32 and ext4 [17:58] wow [17:59] Ca11um: is the system a laptop? [17:59] yea i really railed the pooch on this one....... [17:59] gypseh: ext4 will reserve blocks for root's use [17:59] 5% reserved of 60gb = [18:00] Dr_Willis: about 4.5Gb [18:00] sorry 3Gb ish [18:00] ok.......but when there is NO Os it still tells me the partition can only be 57gb [18:00] of course even if its a 60gb. you will loose some to various inode/other things. [18:00] and prior to this it was 60 [18:01] how are you setting it to use 'no' os? is the question [18:01] no im saying there is no os on the drive........i have been using a thumb drive to run utills to recover it [18:01] i have it scanning for bad sectors as we speak [18:02] in an attempt that it will label the encrypted stuff as bad and remove it [18:02] a drive marketed as 60gb.. having 57gb of actual partionable useable space.. sounds about right to me. [18:02] well if you're formatting it as extX then it's going to reserve space for root [18:02] No ActionParsnip; Desktop (Ethernet) [18:02] use tune2fs to change the amount reserved [18:02] if you use 'dd' to zero the drive.. it will be erased. :) [18:02] gypseh: it does not matter. it's formatted. formatting ususally marks bad blocks, creates journals, and otherwise has overhead by way of disk space used. [18:02] beandog: not in ext2 ;) [18:02] Dr_Willis: That was gonna be my next suggestion [18:02] ActionParsnip: true that [18:02] gypseh, If you haven't already tried, you might look into the "dd" command; I think it overwrites with 0s and 1s; I don't know how it will handle the encryption flag, though. Maybe worth a try.. [18:02] well first off i know i need to remove this !security flag [18:03] but a hit of 3Gb for the benfits of the journal is very wothwhile [18:03] gypseh: I'd zero out at least hte first few megs of the device. [18:03] gypseh: there aint much that will survive a zeroing by dd. [18:03] sidewinder i tried that [18:03] :) [18:03] its as if its a partition inside a partition.........wrapped in a forcefield...... [18:03] Worth a shot. [18:03] You *could* format the entire drive as a partition, instead of selecting a parition. [18:03] gypseh: have you considered booting off an Ubuntu Live CD and using the tools there? [18:03] mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda for example [18:04] tried that stuff [18:04] it doesnt let me adjust the part over 57gb anymore..... [18:04] So with LDAP, user accounts can be stored on a server, and users can log into a single account from all the domain machines? [18:04] gypseh: zero it out. It'll take forever, but it will *certainly* remove everything. [18:04] gypseh: a drive labelled as 60GB will not actually have 60GB usuable space. [18:04] With synchronous documents === vemens is now known as odporna [18:05] it does have 60gb usable its an ssd..... [18:05] gypseh, did you try to boot with 'ro selinux=0' [18:05] gypseh: he means, marketed as 60 GB does not mean free space is 60 GB [18:05] gypseh: it is ALWAYS less. [18:05] By about 5% [18:06] hi how to know the temperature of teh CPU and the level of usb of USB electricity ? [18:06] 60-5%=57 [18:06] hi all [18:07] hi all [18:07] Hi [18:07] gypseh: it does not matter if it's an SSD. it's that storage OEMs calcualte 1,000 kilobytes as a megabyte, and the closest binary is 1.024. OEMs cheat. [18:07] raptor67682: look into lm-sensors [18:07] i had a question [18:07] raptor67682, sensors/lm-sensors will tell you the cpu temp. for usb voltage i have no idea. maybe /sys? [18:08] raptor67682: use a thermometer [18:08] anyone knows how to use Havij [18:08] MinaKumar: be helpful, stop nonsense replies [18:08] MinaKumar: unhelpful, and you have been since joining. stop. [18:09] raptor67682: acpi might show it as well ... acpi -Va, if I remember right [18:09] raptor67682: if it's a laptop [18:09] anonfreak: persian? [18:09] anyone knows how to use Havij [18:09] ?

But just out of curiosity, did Ubuntu change their "Linux for human beings" slogan ? [18:13] system monitor (resource tab) [18:13] 66k is not small , 0.6mbps [18:13] MindSpark: is there a support question in there somewhere? this is a support channel. [18:14] Romance: a text file with a few lines is 66k. It's miniscule. [18:15] Romance: 66kbs is not 0.6 mbs [18:15] yes MindSpark they changed it to Linux for humans that are a glutton for punishment [18:15] Romance: 600K is .6M. 66K is .066M. [18:15] okay, more than a few lines. But still. [18:15] beandog : yeah i did close my IRC client, i dont do any internet surfing, monitoring it still giving me 66-90 kbps every 3 seconds , 'something' is downloading that i dont see maybe [18:15] ok, then how do I stop apport from popping up all the time, then, when trying to report anything that has crashed (unfortunately it just says something went wrong without saying what did), another instance pops up saying that apport has crashed [18:15] MindSpark: its still linux for human beings [18:16] then it must be me that's not human anymore [18:16] Romance: downloading or uploading?

Could clear the thumbnails, see if the same is chosen [18:31] ActionParsnip: i wa thinking it was like 10 sec into the video.. but havent seen any rhyme to it. [18:31] windows does seem to select the same thumbnail image. which made me think its part of the video file. [18:31] vindav: do you mean windows in a virtualbox? [18:32] Playing with Openshot. :) fairly nice video editor tool. [18:32] Dr_Willis: huh, never heard of this one [18:33] how to run id3 tag editor [18:33] just asked my question here https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.5/+question/198107 [18:33] ActionParsnip: No, it is when I am using the distro, even when I open up a browser, a word document, e-mail prgm, or whatever, it seems that typing is there, then it locks up, and that it takes time to even do backspacing and deleting. [18:33] im basically having to take a HUGE long video file and split it into smaller clips for the wife. [18:33] vindav: also how does the keyboard co [18:33] which package has the possibility to get the CPU temperature for CLI (non sensor wiht x111 stuffs)? [18:33] Connect [18:33] Is there any way of slowing down the output of the "check disc for defects" option on the Live CD menu? [18:34] bs: just run the command 'easytag' [18:34] raptor67682: sudo sensors will show the data in cli [18:34] Dr_Willis, how i'm new [18:34] bs: or hit the Big Ubunt button and type 'easy' it shows easy tag... [18:34] bs: you might want to hit up some unity starter guides.. [18:35] OR... hit the alt key.. and type 'easy' and it shows up [18:35] or alt-f2 and type 'easy' and it shows up... ;) [18:35] ActionParsnip: When the keyboard works, it does, when it doesn't it is intermittent. I tried resetting the 2.4GHz radio for it and it doesn't change things; I replaced the battery in it, and it still doesn't change things. The mouse that pairs with it is good. [18:36] vindav: and the first question I asked....? [18:37] Noob question: Is a computer's power consumption static or dynamic? === aaron is now known as Guest5802 [18:37] i.e. Does a more efficient OS use less power? [18:37] ActionParsnip: you should not ask question. you must answer and support [18:37] ActionParsnip: vindav: also how does the keyboard co [18:37] Ca11um: mondern computers throttle down to save power. [18:37] Ca11um: it changes with load === sudokode is now known as zendeavor [18:37] So a Linux server would save energy, compared to Windows Server? [18:38] depends on the system/cpu load. === zendeavor is now known as sudokode [18:38] less load = less heat = less cooling which saves more power then just having less load. ;) [18:38] The server does nothing except Active Directory (or I guess, LDAP for Linux's case) [18:38] MinaKumar: in order to support I need basic details. How else do you intend I get this if I cannot enquirie about the situation [18:39] vindav: is the windows system running in a virtualbox? [18:39] ActionParsnip: No [18:40] hello, i having problems to recognize wireless device, the privative drivers say it is using the wireless driver, but no wifi interface found [18:40] any guide please ? [18:40] Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [18:40] Anybody reckon Linux usage in the future will drastically increase? [18:40] Hello, what's the best (easy to set up wise) IRC daemon for Ubuntu? [18:40] vindav: so how is windows a factor here? You mentioned it earlier. [18:41] Ca11um: it is increaseing every day [18:41] Ca11um: I don't see it decreasing, if that's what you mean [18:41] Well so is the world population, I mean in comparison to other OS' [18:41] Windows, Macintosh mainly [18:41] !broadcom | negra [18:41] negra: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [18:41] Ca11um: it is increaseing every day :) even with that crita [18:41] !offtopic [18:41] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!

Sometimes I have to wait a while before I can start typing because the window will not respond to any typing I do. Sometimes the mouse doesn't want to cooperate in terms of providing editing. [18:44] Sidewinder: I always find that a problem on Freenode; I always start a discussion, and there's already a channel for everything [18:45] vindav: tried unity2d session from the login screen [18:45] Hello.

[18:45] ActionParsnip: What do you mean ? [18:46] but no wireless interface are detected, only eth0 [18:46] ghabit: if you hit the 'detect displays' button, does it activate [18:46] ghabit: I can help you on that. Is you nVidia gui open ? [18:46] Ca11um, I know what you mean; this channel especially gets exceedingly busy as it's support only.. OT is a nice channel to hang and chill. [18:46] ActionParsnip, nope, nothing is happen. [18:46] ghabit: Do you also have both monitors connected to your video card ? [18:46] vindav: logoff and choose the unity2D session [18:47] ActionParsnip: I'll do that now. I'll be right back [18:47] vindav, nope, but i will open it now. Yes, they are both connected. Main via vga, secondary via hdmi [18:47] My gpg keys have disappeared [18:47] can't update my system [18:48] the-penguin: can you give a pastebin of the output of: sudo apt-get update [18:49] I have a question about some instructions for installing the Volantis application.

[18:51] What should I do to type the bug [18:51] ActionParsnip: I switched to Ubuntu 2D, and it seems to be working now. Do you know why this is ? Will the developer of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS put a fix in for the next update ? [18:51] ghabit: I just logged back in. R you still there ? [18:52] vindav: unity uses compiz. Unity2D uses metacity afaik [18:52] vindav: maybe your video hardware struggles with compiz [18:53] Drop me a msg if you can provide some assistance. :) Thanks in advance.

It was really frustrating. Now may I ask, since I switched over to Unity 2D which is using metacity afaik, what are my advantages and disadvantages ? What is my functionality now compared to what it was before ? [18:54] 12.04 [18:54] ActionParsnip the bug is about plymouth and grub resolution(monitor out of range)... Where should I fill it?

[18:57] ghabit: I have had the problem you've had, and can help. Do you have the nVidia gui open ? [18:57] vindav: none actually. I've just seen them here far too often [18:57] is there a search function for this chat to scour the help docs? [18:57] vindav, yep.

I Just want to prevent it in the future [19:01] ActionParsnip Do you know in which section in launchpad should I fill this bug?

[19:02] vindav, i have no checkbox there with 'default' checkbox [19:02] So is this the biggest IRC channel to ever exist? [19:02] vindav, secondary monitor looks disabled. [19:03] where is xorg.conf located in ubuntu? [19:03] Ca11um: thats offtopic here. Try asking in #freenode [19:03] ghabit: I'll give you a screenshot in a sec to ask you a few more questions. [19:03] vindav, ok!

[19:07] What should I use in a script to add a program (e.g. MATLAB, LABWORKS, etc.) to the Ubuntu task bar for easy access for clients? === karl is now known as Guest17303 [19:07] ghabit: yes you do. [19:07] vindav, do you use gnome or unity? [19:07] why does the ctrl+c key not work anymore in my terminals?? === deejay31 is now known as deejay31|Offline [19:08] hwilde: which terminals have you tried? [19:08] I dunno the default one that I always used [19:08] was there an update or something? ctrl+c does NOTHING [19:08] hwilde: try in another terminal then [19:08] ctrl+d works, ctrl+z works.... [19:08] I tried many terminals. [19:08] vindav, can you show me your options of secondary monitor? Is it possible to have this options @ system options instead of nvidia application? [19:08] hwilde: i mean a different terminal emulator program [19:08] hi to everybody [19:09] Mitchell_M: make a .desktop in /usr/share/applications I suggest copying one from ~/.config/autostart as a skeleton file as they are simpler [19:09] hwilde: konsole, xterm, urxvt, etc. [19:09] hi [19:09] vindav, and main question - twin view allows 'expand' monitors - menu on primary, additional space on secondary, how i can switch between them? === olaf is now known as Guest949 [19:09] i mean working only 1 monitor, then only 2 monitor. [19:10] hwilde: ctrl+shift+[cv] to copy/paste. [19:10] ActionParsnip: Thanks [19:10] ghabit: I use Unity. Its smarter, and faster to find things and it's intuitive if you don't know what to look for. I use to use gnome. Twinview must be selected for both monitors that you want active. I will show you the screenshot of my secondary monitor. BTW, do you just want one monitor on, or have both on ? The nVidia gui will allow you to do both. [19:10] hello! i need to display users full name at login screen. Because some of them are quite long, is there a way to increase the side panel displaying full names on lightdm login screen. thank you for your attention. [19:11] i have some proble in empthy chat , while calling or comming call, ringer is not working what is happining in betwwen calling why sound is not indicating [19:11] vindav: by using unity, you are using gnome desktop. [19:11] yes [19:12] ActionParsnip, nah just ctrl+c like cancel, escape, etc. [19:12] like if I run tail -f on a logfile, I cannot ctrl+c anymore [19:12] Im using 64 bit linux with 4g ram in the box. I'm only showing 3954 ram in the system, not the 4096 that is actually installed in there [19:12] or if I run a ping for example, ctrl+c does not cancel it [19:12] vindav: unity is just a replacement for gnome-shell in older releases [19:12] hwilde: ahh [19:12] привет [19:12] I need to figure out exactly which release something went wrong, so I need old images. Where do I get them? On old.releases.ubuntu.com, I only see 8.04, then 10.04. I need the ones in between. [19:13] ghabit: oops, even though I am using Unity, I am using gnome desktop. Here is the screenshot of my secondary monitor. Also, unity is just a replacement for gnome-shell in older releases. http://imagebin.org/213466 [19:13] DrManhattan: do you use onboard video chip? [19:13] hwilde: does ctrl+z work to stop your pings, etc? [19:13] No [19:13] ActionParsnip, no, geforce 8400gs dedicated [19:13] sarsaeol, it backgrounds them, then I can kill them [19:14] * ekv hello all [19:14] ah. It's old-releases, not old.releases. :) === arizona_bay is now known as Guest88321 [19:14] hi there my windows borders are disappeared how can i fix ? [19:14] jo-erlend: you can upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 directly. LTS to LTS upgrade [19:14] ghabit: when you 'disable' the configuration for a monitor, It'll shut the display to it. [19:15] ActionParsnip, I'm trying to find out if audio stopped working in 9.04 or in 9.10.

[19:23] jackiechan0: press Alt+F2 and run: unity --replace [19:23] the app icon becomes highlighted but then nothing happens ... it only works after several relogins [19:23] yashwant: thats pretty application specific.. you might have better luck seeking out empathy support. [19:23] ghabit: did everything work out for you in this matter ? [19:24] ActionParsnip: i'm running Natty [19:24] DrManhattan, various bits of memory are reserved for different purposes and fall under the "kernel memory" banner, but free is a user-space tool so it won't see that memory [19:24] ActionParsnip: Gnome === allen_ is now known as schultza_rcherba [19:24] on 12.04 precise LTS [19:24] escott, right on, as long as all is well. [19:24] jackiechan0: then use: compiz --replace [19:25] now, I took the nouveau driver up and Im seeing some disturbing things when I boot- apparently a bunch of services are starting AND stopping when I boot [19:25] things like ssh [19:25] ActionParsnip: yeah but the problem is that all the time that i press on the windows menu on the top left the border disappears [19:25] I can see the list of services when the system boots, but I can't find any record of the boot [19:25] ActionParsnip: the windows menu is not usable anymore, a way to fix that? [19:26] jackiechan0: press Ctrl+Alt+T and run it there [19:26] DrManhattan, /var/log/boot.log [19:26] jackiechan0, do you mean the menu where you have File, Edit, etc? [19:27] jo-erlend: no the menu in the top lef the little arrow that show you the windows menu so you can move the windows to another work space etc. [19:27] jackiechan0: it disappeared when i press on it windows border disappears [19:27] ActionParsnip, he's talking about the menu that used to be on the left side when the window controls were on the right, I think. [19:27] How do I enter advanced menu options on Ubuntu Alternative CD, like I would be able to with debian? [19:28] escott, would you please check out http://pastebin.me/d6d2a56387d9d43e534639216211bad4 and tell me if this is normal for booting? [19:28] at least with ubuntu [19:28] ActionParsnip: all the time that i press the arrow the windows border disappear [19:28] jo-erlend: how can i fix that? [19:28] jackiechan0, when a window is not maximized; if you right-click the titlebar, does that give you the menu you're looking for? [19:28] DrManhattan, drives are clean services are ok. looks like a normal boot [19:28] jelliebellie advanced options like what? [19:28] jo-erlend: yeah it works right clicking [19:29] jo-erlend: way yo fix that permanetly ? [19:29] escott, ok then for my own curiosity, why is it "stopping" services that aren't running before starting them - like sshd [19:29] ActionParsnip: It's starting again where it is a PIA to type from the keyboard. Would it be wise to uninstall Compiz from my desktop ? [19:29] ?? [19:29] KM0201, then how to solve our problem or which chant software will work better in linux [19:29] jo-erlend: way yo fix that permanetly ? ActionParsnip [19:30] jo-erlend: way yo fix that permanently ? ActionParsnip [19:30] vindav: you could. It doesnt use much drive space [19:30] yashwant: i have no iddea, but a problem that is that specific to an application, is better pursued through that programs support options [19:30] jackiechan0, there used to be one.. A gconf key that you could set to switch the layout for your window controls, but I'm not sure they're working anymore. [19:30] DrManhattan, not sure, but its probably just the way the scripts were written. theoretically one could be changing runlevels instead of booting and therefore the service would already be running [19:30] jo-erlend: :( [19:30] jackiechan0: did the command sort it? [19:31] jackiechan0, don't give up. :) [19:31] escott, ok, thank you for your patience [19:31] ActionParsnip: like this http://www.debian.org/releases/potato/installguide/36debian.png [19:31] ActionParsnip: which command ? if reload compit the border re appears the problem is that the windows menu on the top left doesn't work and if i try to acces it the windows borders disappear again [19:31] ActionParsnip, he's talking about the window menu. That is, the button that used to be on the left when close, minimize and maximize were on the right. It seems, you can only access it by unmaximizing a window and then right-clicking the titlebar. [19:32] hi === Mitchell_M_ is now known as Mitchell_M [19:32] jackiechan0, hold on, I'm looking. [19:32] jo-erlend: right it's on the top left, that little arrow down [19:32] jo-erlend: thanks :) [19:32] jelliebellie: ubuntu is designed to be simple and for Linux novices. I don't think it has that [19:33] KM201, k [19:33] jo-erlend: gotcha [19:33] ActionParsnip: weak, server edition should have it, or else ubuntu is not for enterprise imo. thx [19:34] jackiechan0: alt+v to get view -> toolbars maybe [19:34] I tried editing a .desktop application for thunderbird to see if I could get it to appear in desktop (since it was already created), however I am not sure what line to edit to have it appear on the ubuntu task bar? [19:34] Anyone? [19:34] ActionParsnip: doesn't works, i have to restart compiz or i have to restart gtk decorator under compiz menu [19:34] jelliebellie: yep, your opinion... [19:35] ActionParsnip: the right option. not a real os for servers. [19:35] thx [19:36] BTW, I was saying task bar,but that is a WINDOWS term, I really meant to say Launcher [19:36] escott, thank you very much for explaining that to me in DrManhattan-proof terms. I actually understand that now! [19:38] jackiechan0: try: metacity --replace [19:38] ActionParsnip: ok [19:39] jackiechan0, hey. I tried something that made my desktop go nuts. :) [19:39] jo-erlend: ? [19:39] ActionParsnip: Metacity --replace worked!! My cairo dock is messed but i have just to reload it [19:39] jackiechan0, if you use Unity 2D, then you can get the button back. But it seems, you can no longer maximize your windows if you do. [19:40] Is there any way to remove dvtm's window title? [19:40] ActionParsnip: jo-erlend what' happend to my cairodock ha a black square around [19:40] jackiechan0, oh. Perhaps I misunderstood? You knew about /apps/metacity/general/button_layout? [19:41] jackiechan0, didn't you use to ask about the windows menu? :) [19:42] jo-erlend: if i disable renable gtk-window-decorator --replace the windows borders will back, but the menu on the top left isn't availalbe and if i click on it the windows border disappears [19:42] jackiechan0, anyway; in order to get the windows menu back onto your window decorator, you can use close,minimize,maximize,menu: [19:42] jo-erlend: if i run metacity --replace the windows menu works again but my cairodock becames messed [19:43] jo-erlend: didn't understand [19:43] jackiechan0, oh, ok. It wasn't about the button itself then? [19:43] jo-erlend: sorry? the button of thewindows menu make the windows borders diapperas [19:43] Heya === feet is now known as Guest70005 [19:44] ?? [19:44] jackiechan0, I don't know what that means. The windows menu was removed from the default in 10.04 I think, at the same time that window controls were moved from the right to left. [19:45] jo-erlend: the problem is with gtk-window-decorator --replace [19:45] hello all! [19:45] hi sam555 [19:45] jackiechan0, I thought you wanted to get the windows menu button back... [19:45] I'm installing ubuntu server 64 bit. Should I use ext4 or ext3? We have in the past been using ext 3. If I go to ext4 will there be major changes? [19:46] jo-erlend: yes but when i run gtk-window-decorator --replace the windows border reappears [19:46] sam555, the main change is in extents, although there are also some changes to how syncing and journaling works [19:46] jackiechan0, why are you running that command? [19:46] jo-erlend: the windows menu button make the borders disappear [19:47] escott. Thanks for the update. What would you recommend? [19:47] jackiechan0, check your settings. You _have_ to have the colon. [19:47] ?? [19:48] jo-erlend: i'm lost [19:48] jackiechan0, close,minimize,maximize,menu: <-- that way. Not close,minimize,maximize,menu [19:48] sam555, i would probably use ext4, but if you are worried about performance you should see if there are benchmarks for your workloads [19:48] jo-erlend: i have these on the right [19:48] jackiechan0, do you have the colon? [19:48] what is a hard drive benchmark for ubuntu? [19:49] something I can run in console? [19:49] jo-erlend: what is colon? [19:49] sam555: ext4 is most probably the best filesystem for you [19:49] DrManhattan: iostat [19:49] thanks for the input ultrixx and escott!!! Very helpful. [19:49] canale ubuntu ita [19:49] tanchs [19:50] jackiechan0, your setting should be something like "menu:minimize,maximize,close", or ":menu,minimize,maximize,close". You have to have the ":" (colon). Otherwise, you'll run into problems.

[20:09] for a harddisks, can i make sure that a certain UUID is tied to a certain /dev/sdX upon boot? [20:09] nick no lol [20:09] cant find stright answer online [20:09] Bulletrulz, you want to have some kind of bootable media on which to do the installation. you might be able to get creative if you have multiple disks, but the easiest is a usb thumb drive [20:09] uw: the UUID is a disk identifier [20:09] n1ckn4me09876543, you would have to copy UUIDs for partitions, and bootloaders [20:10] uw: by nature it will only describe the disk that it was generated for [20:10] escott: ah, that worked. That was hellish for such a simple problem. [20:10] escott i dont have a usb drive D: my freind has one will i hvae to use the usb drive everythime i boot? [20:10] Hello everyone [20:10] NcA, can i make sure that UUID is brought up as /dev/sda (or whatever) upon system boot? [20:10] Bulletrulz, once you install you won't need the usb drive [20:10] uw, no [20:10] hmmm how big of a flash drive [20:11] uw, thats why we have UUIDs because they cannot guarantee enumeration ordering. access the drive through the symlink /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [20:11] uw: a UUID a descriptor for a disk partition [20:11] hello, i have problem to install sun-java6-jre on ubuntu 12.04 64bits [20:11] so back to flashplugin-installer he(double hockey sticks): http://paste.ubuntu.com/1001659/ [20:11] escott how big? [20:11] i have the message on comment 6 : http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=9322391 [20:11] ThePendulum, how old is the computer you have [20:11] uw: so in fstab, instead of /dev/sdx, you replace it with UUID= mountpoint [20:11] Bulletrulz, 700MB is large enough for the install media [20:11] hmmmmm ? [20:12] how long should it take for mysql to start [20:12] i wish i had a usb stick [20:12] escott, ok, does anyone know how linux enumerates /dev/sdX drives upon boot? it keeps changing for me and messing things up. [20:12] wait can i use like a memory chip from my phone? [20:12] Is there any "raid-guru" on? I'm having a kinda wierd issue with superblocks [20:12] brb [20:12] NcA, ohhh ok i wil give that a try [20:12] rzyz did you follow these instructions? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#Oracle_.28Sun.29_Java_6 [20:13] a memory chip from his phone... and he doesn't want to spend $10 on a pen drive? [20:13] uw, its really up to the hardware. the kernel cannot guarantee anything. DO NOT COUNT on device enumeration order. The kernel developers cannot and will not guarantee anything [20:13] uw: so, if your install keeps replacing the /dev/sdx entries, using the UUID will force it to mount that specific partition, regardless of the device naming [20:14] KM0 IM FUCKING 13 LOL [20:14] caps & language [20:14] escott, NcA, oddly though, my fstab says (/dev/sdc1: UUID="9b1a3f76-aa42-4832-b5fa-010e381f8ad5" TYPE="ext4" ) as if it is tying /dev/sdc1 to a UUID? === AleksandarS_ is now known as AleksandarS [20:14] Bulletrulz, probably not [20:14] escott is a removiable memory card [20:14] anyone | Arkhelion [20:14] uw, the UUID is stored in the partition table. if that device comes up as sdd the UUID will still be discoverable [20:14] escott, NcA, thanks for your advice and help btw [20:14] !anyone | Arkhelion [20:14] Arkhelion: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [20:15] and if i install will it void my warrenty to get rid of windows [20:16] Okay sorry guntbert [20:16] escott can i use like a removilbe memory card and just plug my phone in? === jalrnc_ is now known as jalrnc [20:16] escott: Eh, about half a year old [20:16] Bulletrulz, US law would make any such clause invalid (assuming you are in the US) [20:16] escott i dont get it so it wont? [20:16] escott void my warrent [20:17] uw: no worries. I haven't seen that behaviour, might be Ubuntu specific. Fstab will mount the device just using UUID= int the first field. You can find out UUID's by running "tune2fs -l /dev/sdxx | grep UUID" [20:17] ThePendulum, its possible that it is a EFI/GPT system. When you were partitioning did you see an EFI partition? If you are in the livecd run "sudo parted -l /dev/sdb" assuming sdb is your hard disk [20:18] escott so they wont void my warrenty if i did [20:18] escott: I got that error during the Windows installation, so I cleaned the entire disk and added a msdos partition table [20:19] hmmmm?! wait what about that one thing easy bcd [20:19] So my issue is the following, after a kernel failure (which I'll investigate afterwards), the disk /dev/sdb has been removed from a raid1 array. I've been able to re-add /dev/sb1 to /dev/md0 but unable to re-add /dev/sdb2 to /dev/md1. In fact, the "wierd" thing is that if I zero-superblock /dev/sdb2, then I get nothing with mdadm -E /dev/sdb2 (that's kinda expected), but if I then re-add it to /dev/md1, I get superblocks back b [20:19] ut with Events=0 and when I check in /dev/md1 I can't find my device in there... [20:19] uw: I would imagine it's your controller that's reporting the devices strangely during system startup as the kernel queries the dive controller [20:19] hmm, very surprising, but ubuntu works a lot better than gentoo did this last run around [20:19] can i duel boot with that [20:19] WAY better, to be honest [20:19] is there an apache 2.4.2 PPA out there yet? [20:19] I had zoneminder up and running in less than a half-hour [20:19] <_RED_> Unity is slow as balls on my lappy [20:19] escott what about easybcd is it ossible to duel boot that [20:19] <_RED_> and the AMD drivers wont stop crashing [20:19] Bulletrulz, you can talk to your attorney about that. Your vendor will say almost anything voids the warranty (their goal is not to pay), but in the US the warranty has to cover merchantability and they would have to show that linux caused the harm (which is wont) [20:19] what's a normal start time for zoneminder? [20:19] DrManhattan: Do you have an ubuntu support question? [20:20] escott god sounds like a lot of work [20:20] anyway escott can i duel boot with easybcd [20:20] DrManhattan, if you are coming from Gentoo, a word of advice "don't fiddle with the defaults." Gentoo teaches you to customize everything, but its better to just leave it be in ubuntu [20:20] <_RED_> also any one know how to stop the AMD drivers from crashing or could recomend me to a good comunity made driver [20:21] ThePendulum, got what error? [20:21] hi, did the old version ubuntu 8.10 or 9.10 live CD have stuff like smartctl or gparted installed????????????????? [20:21] escott, it isnt just that it is set up properly, it's that the install and set up is very fast [20:21] the only thing i miss is the gentoo colors in the console :) [20:22] escott: Windows warned me about GPT, so did Ubuntu. So I just repartitioned the entire disk before continueing. Unless Windows threw a GPT partition table at it, I´m pretty sure it´s still msdos [20:22] 334 megs for the box running apache2, mysql, and zoneminder [20:22] and ssh [20:23] NcA: yes it could be one of the sata controllers. Also, there are 2 USB drives on boot so i wonder if they are messing up the enumeration. === luisandresgonzal is now known as luix [20:23] <_RED_> pro tip use windows to shrink NTFS partitions [20:23] Bulletrulz, you probably could dual boot with easy bcd, but it would be easier (since you have two disks) to put grub on the mbr of the ubuntu disk, and make that the primary boot disk. grub will automatically be configured to chainload the windows [20:23] _RED_: Why would I want to shrink an NTFS partition? [20:23] ThePendulum, windows is not bootable in an efi/msdos configuration. only efi/gpt is supported. if you changed partition tables windows should not be bootable [20:23] <_RED_> to dual boot [20:23] escoot sounds really techinal xD [20:23] NcA escott, also, i see two types of UUIDs from blkid. One in the format UUID="12280888994215613420", the other in the format UUID="9b1a3f76-aa42-4832-b5fa-010e381f8ad5" [20:24] _RED_: I partitioned beforehand [20:24] !tab| Bulletrulz [20:24] Bulletrulz: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [20:24] <_RED_> good [20:24] <_RED_> also any one know a fix for AMD apu drivers? [20:24] NcA escott, any thoughts to which one is correct or will either one work? [20:24] escott: Then Windows changed it itself, because it´s actually only Windows that boots [20:24] <_RED_> they wont stop crashing on me [20:24] hi, did the old version ubuntu 8.10 or 9.10 live CD have stuff like smartctl or gparted installed? [20:24] escoot it says i can boot from a iso i have lubuntu and ubuntus ido [20:24] iso [20:24] uw, NTFS has these "UUID"s which are not actually UUIDs but they are sufficient to uniquely identify an NTFS partition. is that what you are seeing? [20:24] uw: did you run tune2fs? [20:25] is easybcd and wubi like the samething [20:25] the dashed format is the correct formatting for fstab [20:25] !enter | Bulletrulz [20:25] Bulletrulz: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:25] uw: I would test with a non-critical partition, add it to fstab, then run "sudo mount -a" [20:25] escoot sorry [20:25] so i told my teacher to get linux, and she gave me detention -.- [20:25] ThePendulum, can you just verify what kind of partition table you have [20:25] anyone know of a CLI lightscribe app? I just need basic text printing... [20:25] Question: "Ubuntu will not boot after install" = I just installed ubuntu 12.x on my pc, (specs: FX series "bulldozer 8core" Nvidia GTS 250 series PCIX, 16gigs ram, asus board(xfire FX) || Live cd worked, installed, (Changed boot order to compensate) and rebooted. Black screen frozen(hard reset req) [20:26] meh. dpkg seems to ignore my --ignore-depends switch. [20:26] <_RED_> please go to off topic [20:26] escott: What´s the best way to verify using Windows? [20:26] Haven´t used Windows for years now... [20:26] ThePendulum: does this machine use UEFI? [20:26] The_Explorer: "Black Screen"? Was there a cursor in the top right? [20:26] mneptok: Yeah [20:26] The_Explorer: Chances are you didn't install grub to the proper boot disk's MBR [20:26] Bulletrulz, easybcd is a tool to configure the windows boot process. wubi is a way of "installing" ubuntu without partitioning. they aren't really related [20:26] ThePendulum: UEFI requires a GPT table [20:27] NcA, negative. Full black screen, frozen, Unable to alt+ctrl+Fx [20:27] escott, i dont think so, none of these are NTFS partions. only one is ext4 (OS) and the rest are zfs [20:27] ThePendulum, i havent a clue. something in the disk partitioning tools should say [20:27] escoot but i can duel boot any os with easybcd right cause i wanna try alot [20:27] I guess I´ll just format and wipe the entire disk again, partition it as GPT and install everything once again [20:27] NcA: tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. [20:27] uw, ZFS probably has some kind of volume or snapshot id. i dont know which one you would use [20:27] NcA, Grub sucessfully booted after change in boot order.

Ideally something that sits in the notification area, and lists active scripts, allowing me to check and uncheck which scripts or cron jobs should be active.

[20:28] Boot both from and into USB drives, ISO images, virtual disks, and more. i have the iso [20:28] By the way, is there a way to display a custom notification as soon as I hit the off button on my PC or shut down my PC from within Ubuntu? [20:28] I like to remind myself to switch off my wireless mouse, lol [20:29] uw: you need to specify /dev/sda1 (the partition number, not just the device) [20:29] Bulletrulz, yes, i believe people have managed to boot ubuntu with easybcd. I'm not sure why you would do such a thing, but it has been done AFAIK [20:29] The_Explorer: I'm assuming you havee multiple disks in your system? === len is now known as Guest74403 [20:29] escoot i just want ubuntu regurlay so i dont run in to some of the prblems i had with wubi [20:30] NcA, I have 2 drives, Sata AHCI WDC Green S&X models [20:30] If I select shutdown, at what point is the runlevel changed to 0?

[20:31] Bulletrulz, thank you. without knowing what problems you had with wubi, i can't say if they would be improved or not [20:31] NcA, it cant be the drives, because that would be a different error.

[21:27] schultza_rcherba: I miss bitchx, but still use irssi [21:27] what is irssi? [21:27] schultza_rcherba: bitchx has security holes, irssi is a good replacement [21:27] good morning/afternoon/night --- any boot troubleshooting in Ubuntu 12.04? [21:27] what about epic... what bitchx was directly branched from? [21:27] schultza_rcherba: old school, very scriptable, all console [21:27] irssi is a IRC client [21:27] I lost touch with bitchx a long time ago [21:27] Alright so I'm setting up Ubuntu for my mom and I have a little bit of an issue.... She has the typical windows XP, folder on desktopcall [21:28] called stuf thats jam packed with all kinds of stuff... how do I sort this? [21:28] I installed the ubuntu cacti package and configured it to use apache2 with dpkg-reconfigure, but apache is still not pulling up the /cacti url.. any ideas what might be going on? [21:28] NictraSavios, my advice: don't. if she wants it all in one folder thats her choice [21:29] NictraSavios: Are you booted in Ubuntu and mounted the win partition, or booted in Windows/ [21:29] Sorry, I hit enter by accident while typing... and escott, yeah but then I gotta listen to her yelp while she sets up rythembox and shotwell and stuff. And nope, Ubuntu is installed, all her stuff is on a flash drive now. [21:29] NictraSavios: with ubuntu-tweak you can see the trash en your home folder in desktop [21:30] and* your home... [21:30] I'm on my personal computer (Arch Linux/Ubuntu/OSX/Win7 Quad Boot Macbook) trying to sort her files out... well. I'm actually procrastinating doing it... but I will. haha. [21:30] hmm, removing it with --purge and reinstall now it works.. odd [21:30] curiousx, Okay, but she didn't ask for that .. yet. She just wants this "Stuff" folder sorted. [21:31] NictraSavios: you just want to organize it into folders? Maybe a bash script that mkdirs for every file ext (mp3s jpgs, etc.) mvs those files into those dirs. [21:31] NictraSavios, there are suggested folders in ~ for Music Documents etc [21:32] Aprel, Yeah, my thoughts were along those lines too... not as well formed. I can't say I'm any good with bash, is there anything like that already out there? [21:32] um, if you do that script, your mom will kill you [21:32] escott, Yeah, thats what I'm trying to sort it into. Right now its just one big cluster-mess of everything and anything. [21:32] just do it then, it is a pain [21:32] It seems I have make 3.81 compiled, but doing make install doesnt correctly install it. When I type 'make' at the command line I still have version 3.80. What paths are checked? I manually installed the new version of make to /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin/make, but the shell --version without a full path still says 3.80 [21:33] krababbel, You may be right.. I didn't think of how they are organised by "Huggs" (Dog) and "Wedding" ... Oh god. I'm going to have to do this .... [21:33] I'm getting constant repeating errors while I try to fsck my media drive in root/safe mode. Every 50 seconds... "sd 5:0:0:0 [sdc] Asking for cache data failed", then "sd 5:0:0:0 [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through". 12.01LTS system will no longer boot due to this error. Any clues? [21:33] does linux cache symlinks? I have a cron that runs a rake file, but it's still running old code [21:33] Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and can't seem to stop X and drop to a terminal window. I have tried: 1) Ctrl-Alt-F2 2) sudo init 1 3) sudo stop gdm All of these give me a dark grey screen with no cursor and no prompt. [21:33] Ugh. Well... this should be an exercise in endurance the likes of a marthon. [21:34] BTW: sdc is not plugges in [21:34] hi all [21:34] SumoJim, Do you know about sysrq keys? [21:34] beonmaui, if the drive cache is failing you might be able to use hdparm to force it to bypass the cache [21:34] beonmaui, actually the last post for news on irssi is dec 2011... while epic is this year... i think ill still with epic (parent of bitchx) [21:34] SumoJim: "sudo service gdm stop" [21:34] escott: not plugged in [21:34] NictraSavios: Somewhat [21:34] !runlevels > SumoJim [21:34] SumoJim, please see my private message [21:35] autocreated sdc instead of sdb when I plugged in a drive to fsck [21:35] NictraSavios: do it one folder a day, or something, or whenever she needs some files, organize that part [21:35] errors continue [21:35] why is my ubuntu booting slower than windoze 7 [21:35] zykotick9: sudo service gdm stop took me to the same grey screen and rendered the PC unusable.

[21:41] halooooo....

In my case, with every Ubuntu install comes new bugs. [21:49] krababbel: can't diagnose well without a CD, and need to make a livecd USB stick I guess. Suggestions? [21:49] mm, guess I can plug in my external cd, off to try [21:49] beanpole_: what was wrong with unity? [21:49] beonmaui: not really, a device which isn't plugged in, should be more than an empty file in linux [21:50] tablet interface aah [21:50] unity ruleolzorz beanpole_ [21:50] Ubuntu seems extra slow – All other distros are faster in comparison.

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [22:24] ForSpareParts, if you get a blank buffer that goes away with sudo then its probably because you dont own the file. also you should not use sudo with gui programs [22:24] !gksudo | ForSpareParts [22:24] ForSpareParts: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

I'm new to it and I wish to learn more. [22:37] sumojim, that's the nvidia card and attempts to have everyone work on a live cd, you can crtl-alt-f1 to a tty in the install and do the deeds I think. [22:39] wilee-nilee: Not sure what you mean by a tty in the install, but you gave me the idea to do a sudo init 1 and ssh from another PC to install [22:39] wait a min... init 1 has networking? [22:40] sumojim, tty is just a command area outside of the desktop, not sure of the true definition. [22:40] its a terminal device (tty)... ctrl+alt+f1 opens a full screen command terminal [22:41] zamba, just stop using fdisk. it doesnt work for everything [22:41] via wiki => tty, a Unix command that prints to standard output the name of the terminal connected to standard input. [22:41] wilee-nilee: Yea, I was on earlier about a stopping X on a freshly installed version problem. Hitting any of crtl-alt-F[Any] takes me to a grey screen with no cursor and no prompt. [22:42] what happens when you init 3 ? [22:42] trying to demo 12.04 but launcher panel is missing anyone know the fix? [22:42] escott: well, parted didn't show anything more [22:42] wilee-nilee: I think it's a weird hardware compatability problem. [22:42] sumojim, does the same thing happen when you init 1 or init 3? [22:42] bob_: try Alt-F2 then type in unity-panel [22:43] allens: Yes [22:43] bob_: nevermind, just type in unity [22:43] sumojim, how is this computer set up? [22:43] It's a brand new laptop. Super high end. [22:44] allens: Brand new high end laptop for customer. [22:44] allen: Need anything specific? [22:44] cpu [22:45] sumojim, what i it doing?

[22:47] !runlevels > allens [22:47] allens, please see my private message [22:47] mtrd` no, just because an e-mail says it's from an address does not mean it is. just change your password if you think you account is being used [22:47] oh, okay, thank you. :) [22:48] is mint really leapfrogging ubuntu ?? [22:48] allens: I's seemingly working fine except I can't stop X and get to a terminal to install an Nvidia driver.... Aparently it has an intel graphics card and Nvidia graphics card. [22:48] zykotick9, that really doesnt help when im learning about init in LPIC-101 [22:48] what would be proper commands to display (a) ethernet speed & duplex (b) number of collisions? [22:48] mint is more popular than ubuntu lol [22:49] beanpole_: please stay on-topic [22:49] is distrowatch accurate [22:49] allens: I will try to install Bumblebee once I can get an NVidia driver installed. [22:49] what is the topic [22:49] !offtopic > beanpole_ [22:49] beanpole_, please see my private message [22:49] zamba, if sudo parted -l /dev/sdb doesn't show anything it must not have a partition table. you could double check /proc/partitions [22:49] how to join offtopic [22:49] when I open a terminal, the current directory is set to "~/.config" [22:50] how can I change it to my home directory? [22:50] beanpole_: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [22:50] escott: well, it -has- to be.. because it has been running as a software raid [22:50] escott: i checked both disks and both were empty [22:50] zamba, was this bios raid? [22:50] escott: no, software [22:50] minas: how are you starting Xorg? lightdm (or other DM) or with startx? [22:50] zamba, what do you mean software raid? mdadm? [22:51] escott: yes [22:51] zamba, and you were running mdadm on the raw device? [22:51] zykotick9: I'm sorry, I didn't understand anything of what you said [22:51] Does anyone have experience with an NVidia optimus graphics card and possibly Bumblebee? [22:51] zykotick9, it still says to run "init 1" for changing the runlevel on upstart [22:52] minas: :) it's not an issue then. good luck. (why i asked, if you use startx then the default is whatever directory you started in) [22:52] allens: runlevels are largely all the same on debian/ubuntu [22:52] sumojim i do not, but the guys in #bumblebee are up2date [22:52] zykotick9: I just open it using ctrl-alt-t [22:52] allens: for example, init 1 isn't command line, and init 3 isn't xorg... [22:53] minas: sorry, i don't have a suggestion for you. [22:53] what would be proper commands to display (a) ethernet speed & duplex (b) number of collisions? [22:53] zykotick9: Thanks anyway :) [22:53] zykotick9, sumo is trying to get out of x to a command prompt... ctrl+alt+f1 is not giving him a command prompt (he's updating graphics drivers) [22:54] OerHeks: Oh, ok. Didn't even think to check if they had an IRC. I'll see if they have any ideas if my problems are surrounding that (I suspect so) thanks. [22:54] allens: well (i don't have any suggestions for that) but changing runlevels WON'T help [22:54] what's the 12.04 choice of recommendation for a netbook? [22:55] another question: i am at the screen asking if there is "a non-windows boot loader (or boot manager) installed on the master boot record (MBR)? again. i have windows installed on C: and ubuntu on D: in order for the screen to popup to allow me to dual boot i have to set D as the first boot drive.. [22:55] zykotick9, how will that not help? [22:55] !runlevels | allens [22:55] allens: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [22:55] why didnt they change runlevels then? [22:55] allens: you can't stop xorg on ubuntu using runlevels === EnRohbi_ is now known as EnRohbi [22:55] that's outside debian's standard... Run Level 1 is known as ‘single user’ mode. A more apt description would be ‘rescue’, or ‘trouble-shooting’ mode. In run level 1, no daemons (services) are started. Hopefully single user mode will allow you to fix whatever made the transition to rescue mode necessary. [22:56] allens: well, maybe it can be done? [22:56] sumojim, i dont know an answer for your problem at the moment.. and im on my way home in a few [22:57] i know it's a nother distro, but i know it can be done in opensuse [22:57] allens: No worries, I'll figure something out eventually. [22:57] but according to sumo, he doesnt get a command prompt (just a blank black screen) at init 1 or 3 [22:57] is there anywat to see where grub is installed? [22:57] chsados, there is the boot-info-script [22:58] sumojim, i may be a lcd compat problem... try an external monitor for those modes? [22:58] allens: I have an external monitor plugged in, but don't I need the nvidia driver to drive it? [22:59] sumojim, for just a command prompt, you should be able to use the default vga driver while you are installing/upgrading the nvidia drivers [23:00] gotta go... ttyl [23:00] allens: Hmm... Maybey if I disable my Intel driver. [23:00] allens [23:00] allsns: later [23:01] sumojin; can you disable the intel video in the bios? [23:02] Tangiera: My co-workers said they checked and they couldn't before they left for the day a few hors ago, I'll double check now. [23:05] Tangiera: Nope, no option. [23:05] what about blacklisting the the driver for the intel? [23:06] escott may i pm you? [23:06] if you blacklistlist the intel driver driver, it would never try to load [23:07] in order to get my system to allow me to select ubunty i must select my D drive as first boot sequence. if its at C it goes straight to windows. I am trying to fully encrypt my C drive [23:07] i am at a screen in truecrypt asking if there is "a non-windows boot loader installed in the master boot record" [23:07] Tangiera: Alright, just Googled how to do that's I'll try that in a minute. [23:07] im wondering if i hsould say yes or no to this questions [23:08] chsados: I'm betting you're not fully backed up :) [23:09] not fully...but minimilly :D [23:10] all my movies/docs/passwords are on an external right now i just dont want to have to reinstall windows [23:10] chsados, and where are windows and ubuntu installed? [23:10] windows is installed on C drive ubunty on D [23:10] I'm using 12.04 and Unity. I cannot edit the top panel -- no combination of clicks works. I've tried every combo of fn, the windows button, shift, ctrl, and alt while clicking, but nothing works. help? [23:11] in order to get the dual boot screen i have to have D set as first boot in bios [23:11] chsados, so what's the question? [23:11] my question is considering the above - is grub installed on D or C? [23:11] chsados, apparently "D" [23:12] i should mention that i've been using the right mouse button. [23:12] its asking me if a non windows boot loader (ie grub im assuming in my case) is installed on the master boot record [23:12] and i think the master boot record is on D since this is a windows thing? [23:12] chsados, normally grub is installed to the MBR, yes... [23:12] stef1a: you can't edit the unity panel (well, except for installing/uninstalling indicators), if you install gnome-panel and select gnome classic on the login screen you can edit the panel with alt+right click [23:12] chsados, each drive has its own MBR [23:13] chsados, it sounds like you have grub installed on one drive and windows on the other [23:13] pusi when i have C selected as first boot HDD it goes straight to windows so i dont think grub would be in that MBR? [23:13] yes [23:13] so im thinking for this question i should select NO i do not have a non windows boot loader installed on my master boot record (c:) [23:14] c: * [23:14] chsados; the answer would be "yes", [23:14] hrmmm [23:14] trism: but won't that get rid of the unity side panel? :/ [23:15] i just installed ubunty literally 24 hours ago its fresh... perhaps it would be safest to just format the D drive and to truecrypt without all these complicated boot sector stuff? [23:15] stef1a: it will, what modifications did you want to make with the panel? [23:15] chsados; whichever driver you have set to boot in the bios is the drive with the MBR in it [23:15] trism: I want to add an app to it [23:15] an indicator app [23:16] tangiera but when i select it as C to boot first it goes straight to windows [23:16] chsados: you want the safest way? leave windows on its own drive, install linux on another, and install bootloader on the same drive you install linux on. [23:16] so there must be a MBR on c as well [23:16] Helloo [23:16] chsados: that's how I've always done it [23:16] chsados, you have multiple mbrs one for each disk [23:16] chsados; when "d" is set to boot in the bios, then "d" is the C: drive, when "c" is set to boot in the bios then "c" is the "C:" drive [23:16] chsados: upon boot on ONE TIME BOOT SCREEN (if your mobo has that feature) just select the drive to boot from [23:16] stef1a: which indicator? [23:17] trism: for an app called 'workaholic' [23:17] Someone know how to remove unity and gnome shell after kde instalation ?? and how To make kde defaur DE [23:17] !purekde | openos [23:17] openos: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » [23:17] it has no terminal options, and the only way to edit its preferences is from the panel indicator (this is how i did it in 10.10) [23:17] chsados; they both have an MBR, but only the MBR on the drive you're currently booting from counts [23:17] And How To make KDE DEFAULT IDE [23:18] ok...so im going to hit yes. :S [23:18] if this screws everything up whats going to happen lol [23:18] stef1a: oh, the indicator is there, you just want to get to the preferences? [23:18] does anyone have sopcast installed on ubuntu ????? [23:18] stef1a: left click, it is just a menu [23:18] the world will explode and godzilla will stomp on your house [23:18] chsados, you can always boot to livecd and chroot in to reinstall grub [23:18] openos: sudo apt-get remove unity unity-2d unity-2d-panel unity-2d-spread unity-asset-pool unity-services unity-lens-files unity-lens-music unity-lens-applications gir1.2-unity-5.0 unity-common indicator-sound indicator-power indicator-appmenu libindicator7 indicator-application indicator-datetime indicator-messages libnux-2.0-0 nux-tools libunity-misc4 unity-2d-common [23:18] any sopcast user here? [23:18] need a quick hand [23:19] how to I install java to firefox? i downloaded the tar.gz and unzipped it [23:19] what about gnome shell how te remove it and Make kde Default [23:19] openos: to have KDE as a default you have to logout, choose KDE in LDM login screen and leave it that way. [23:19] openos: log back in [23:20] chsados, answer to what question? [23:20] Prodigal_: if you install ubuntu-restricted-extras it will install openjdk with is already on the repository [23:20] well i selected YES and i got an error see here http://i.imgur.com/bDlYt.png [23:20] openos: first make KDE default [23:20] openos, /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf user-session [23:20] openos: before removing other stuff [23:20] so apt-get install ubuntu-restricted? [23:20] okey a will do that now [23:20] openos: or take escott's advice [23:21] i know nothing about dlna... can I "stream" some app screen via dlna to a TV using ubuntu? [23:21] Prodigal_: try type "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts" [23:21] thank recon [23:22] recon69_lap: there is no sun-java* in ubuntu repos anymore [23:22] chsados, truecrypt does not play nice with grub [23:22] blarg [23:23] stef1a: if the app only has a status icon and it isn't showing up, you may need to whitelist it though, see: http://askubuntu.com/questions/30742/how-do-i-access-and-enable-more-icons-to-be-in-the-system-tray [23:23] in the tar folder i downloaded i have the bin lib man plugin folders...but cant get it to install [23:23] How To Make this work in terminal /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf user-session [23:23] i think im just going to delete my ubuntu installation on D and truecrypt C alone. and run ubuntu on a thumb drive and encrypt the entire thumb drive. [23:24] openos: sudo nano /etc/...... , or sudo gedit /etc/..... [23:24] i have kate [23:24] chsados; you could just temporarily disconnect the ubuntu drive while setting up truecrypt and then reconnect it later [23:24] openos: use kate then [23:25] there is a Blank doc === jost__ is now known as jost [23:25] Prodigal_: maybe "sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre" and "java -version" to see if it's installed [23:25] openos: do the same without user-session [23:25] Oki [23:26] YEah now It's work [23:26] !gksudo | naryfa openos [23:26] naryfa openos: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

[23:27] escott: I don't even know if kate is graphical, never used KDE [23:27] thanks recon that did it === beanpole_ is now known as maradona10 [23:27] openos: I think yes [23:28] i need now to put kde in the place of gnome shell [23:28] like this user-session=kde [23:28] openos: yeah [23:29] Thank You Broth [23:29] is debian ny good [23:29] now how to remove gnome shell [23:29] openos: sudo apt-get purge gnome-shell-* [23:29] maradona10; it's the spiritual mentor of ubuntu [23:29] maradona10 yeah, ubuntu is based on Debian, and Mint is based on Ubuntu [23:29] I wish to blacklist my intel graphics driver, how can I find the name of the driver? [23:30] should i install debian instead of ubuntu [23:30] and wrigleys-spearmint is based on mint lol [23:30] maradona10: you will have a higher learning curve [23:30] should i go for it now [23:30] maradona10: if you think you can handle it, go ahead [23:30] i am thinking about replacing 10.04 lts [23:31] maradona10 thats entirely up to you, for the average person Ubuntu or Mint are much eaisier to got to from Windows or Mac then Debian [23:31] maradona10, debian has a strong focus on FOSS so things like "jockey" to install proprietary drivers are not present in debian [23:31] maradona10: how long have you used Ubuntu? [23:31] 2\3 days [23:31] maradona10: +1 to mana for escott, vital info [23:31] maradona10: lol, replacing 10.04 indeed [23:31] maradona10, so look at things like http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary and see if you want to deal with things like that or not [23:32] you wouldn't have stupid things like unity in debian [23:32] debian is ugly [23:32] all computing is ugly [23:32] is flash pre installed in debian [23:33] maradona10: it's not [23:33] maradona10: but it isn't difficult to install either [23:33] is debian the oldest distro [23:33] !ot | Tangiera maradona10 [23:33] Tangiera maradona10: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.
