| kingofswords | escott, seemed to resoled itself, thx for help....still been having probs with ubuntu ever since started using tho | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| knightrage | auu: yeah i dont think 12.10 will have 2.6.x kernel | 00:01 |
| knightrage | auu: check uname -r for your kernel version | 00:02 |
| auu | knightrage: 3.2.0-24-generic-pae | 00:02 |
| knightrage | yeah. 2.6.x moduless wont work in that | 00:02 |
| auu | knightrage: so what should I do if there are no official drivers for new kernels? ndiswrapper?? | 00:04 |
| Tangiera | is tere any command to display the current ethernet media speed and duplex? | 00:05 |
| Tangiera | I guess that must mean "no" | 00:07 |
| auu | Tangiera: or no idea | 00:07 |
| oqpo | Tangiera: maybe with nm-tool | 00:07 |
| oqpo | Capabilities: Speed: 100 Mb/s | 00:08 |
| oqpo | Tangiera: ifconfig can also help. | 00:08 |
| knightrage | auu: not sure. guess it's worth a shot | 00:09 |
| Tangiera | I tried ifconfig, it didn't display media speed | 00:09 |
| naryfa | Tangiera: what is meant by media? ethernet card? | 00:10 |
| sumojim | Ok, I've blacklisted "vgastate, v4l1-compat, i915, and libdrm-intel1 and xserver-xorg-video-intel", in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf but X is still starting. I'm guessing I still don't have the correct graphics driver name? | 00:10 |
| auu | knightrage: lol maybe I was wrong. the one I copied.. it's not a wifi card but a cable.. lol.. the wifi is probably Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000.. lol.. sorry for that | 00:10 |
| naryfa | Tangiera: there is a package called netspeed I think | 00:11 |
| Tangiera | naryfa; yes, I'd like to know if I'm connecting at 10/100/1000 and what duplex' | 00:11 |
| escott | sumojim, if you just want X to not start remove the display manager | 00:11 |
| vlt | Tangiera: ethtool | 00:11 |
| arooni-mobile | hi folks..... my hard drive is going to crash... i need to back up my data, i have the parts of /home backed up i need. (documents, photos, music) ...... but i'm wondeirng if i should back up anything else? | 00:12 |
| sumojim | escott, I just want to stop X temporarily. | 00:12 |
| knightrage | auu: check http://mikebeach.org/2011/07/09/ubuntu-and-the-intel-centrino-wireless-n-1000-wireless-card/ then. just googling here. "It’s a compatible card, but needs some nudging to get it to work." | 00:12 |
| escott | arooni-mobile, /etc and follow !clone | 00:12 |
| sumojim | escott: and sudo gdm stop isn't bringing me to a terminal. | 00:13 |
| naryfa | arooni-mobile: the best thing is to clone your partition with dd utility | 00:13 |
| escott | sumojim, does ctrl-alt-f1 not take you to a terminal? | 00:13 |
| oqpo | arooni-mobile: configuration are stores in the dot files in your home ( ~/ ), like ~/.config, etc | 00:13 |
| arooni-mobile | escott, whats in /etc/ | 00:14 |
| vlt | arooni-mobile: Or a bit more efficient than dd: ddrescue. Especially if there are already bad sectors. | 00:14 |
| escott | arooni-mobile if you dont know then you probably never modified it so you dont need to back it up. but various system wide config files are there | 00:15 |
| bastidrazor | sumojim: which version of ubuntu? if past 10.04 then sudo service lightdm stop | 00:15 |
| RealEyes | how do I make ubuntu show my pidgin friends list? | 00:15 |
| arooni-mobile | *all* i cant use dd because my external hard drive is ntfs... and i cant format it (borrowing from a friend) | 00:16 |
| escott | arooni-mobile, you can use dd, you just put the of=/path/to/file/in/the/ntfs/drive | 00:16 |
| naryfa | arooni-mobile: I always questioned the length of reinstalling stuff onto a new system, if it takes longer than recovering entire partition at once, or if the backup procedure will have you jumping between dirs, it's really more convenient to do a partition backup. Unless you want a fresh install | 00:17 |
| escott | arooni-mobile, if you are backing up your /home to an ntfs you want to do it differently. you should use tar to create an archive of your home, not cp because permissions will be lost | 00:17 |
| zabomber | vlt: but cloning a partition with a live OS is not recommended if you moving to new hardware right? | 00:17 |
| naryfa | arooni-mobile: therefore, I stick to dd | 00:17 |
| psusi | zabomber, Ubuntu is generally quite fine with drastically altering hardware | 00:18 |
| the_explorer | Hi ubuntu 12x nvidia driver failed me. Gonna have to revert to 10.04 | 00:18 |
| escott | arooni-mobile, use "tar -c /home > /path/to/file/on/the/ntfs/home_backup.tar" to make your backup of your home folder | 00:18 |
| zabomber | arooni-mobile: the gui backup utility is also pretty straight forward and simple to setup | 00:18 |
| vlt | zabomber: Yes, not if it’s mounted in rw mode. But if there’s no possibility to run an external OS (from USB or live CD) (and you don’t have LVM) then rsync works fine. | 00:18 |
| zabomber | psusi: so if i dd my OS partition and move to new hardware i dont need to do a repair install? | 00:19 |
| zabomber | vlt: ok! great | 00:19 |
| escott | arooni-mobile, actually tar -cp /home > .... | 00:19 |
| psusi | zabomber, no... but dd is kind of a sucky way to do it... requires the new disk to be >= size of old one, and you have to resize after to make use of the new space... and wastes time copying free sectors | 00:19 |
| sumojim | bastidrazor: 10.04 | 00:20 |
| bastidrazor | sumojim: sudo service gdm stop | 00:20 |
| sumojim | escott: No, Ctrl-Alt-F1 takes me to a dark grey screen, no terminal, no cursor. | 00:21 |
| auu | knightrage: I followed that page but I'm not sure it's settled. | 00:21 |
| auu | iwlist scan | 00:21 |
| auu | lo Interface doesn't support scanning. | 00:21 |
| auu | eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning. | 00:21 |
| psusi | zabomber, last year I replaced my whole motherboard, cpu, ram, booted up just fine... added a new ssd and migraded the system over to the new drive in the background while still using it | 00:21 |
| sumojim | bastidrazor: sudo service gdm stop takes me to a dark grey screen, no terminal, no cursor. | 00:21 |
| escott | sumojim, i doubt not starting x will solve your problem. plymouth will have already started and if modeswitching is broken it will still be broken. you could try "nomodeset" | 00:21 |
| escott | sumojim, what chipset do you have? | 00:22 |
| arooni-mobile | is there a gui to make tar files? my files are located all over the place | 00:22 |
| RealEyes | how do I get ubuntu to show my pidgin messenger list? | 00:22 |
| sumojim | escott: How can I find out? | 00:22 |
| escott | sumojim, sudo lshw -C video | 00:23 |
| usr13 | sumojim: What happens when you type in your user name and hit enter, (in the dark grey screen)? | 00:23 |
| arooni-mobile | escott, are permissions important if i'm the owner of all the files/folders? | 00:23 |
| escott | arooni-mobile, fileroller is a gui for archival, and yes permissions do matter even for $HOME | 00:24 |
| usr13 | sontek: tty6 (Ctrl-Alt-F6) | 00:24 |
| usr13 | sumojim: tty6 (Ctrl-Alt-F6) | 00:24 |
| escott | arooni-mobile, the concern is mostly with your keyrings and private keys, but applications will fail if you mess those permissions up | 00:25 |
| the_explorer | Why has the nvidia drivers give bananas ? | 00:25 |
| usr13 | the_explorer: Because almost all primates like bannas. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) | 00:27 |
| arooni-mobile | escott, this applies even if i'm completely reinstalling ubuntu? | 00:27 |
| the_explorer | Gone bananas | 00:27 |
| joallard | X crashes every two days. What do I do about this? | 00:28 |
| kriminal | hola buenas noches alguien me podria ayudar con xubuntu 12.04 | 00:28 |
| the_explorer | I can't even get working on 12x | 00:28 |
| escott | arooni-mobile, if you restore your $HOME directly then the permissions will be wrong for those files. so yes | 00:28 |
| sunitasethi | hello does anyone know how ubuntu 12.04can detect and install a driver usb ethernet adapter? | 00:28 |

| escott | sumojim, it should have a lot more detail than that | 00:29 |
| RealEyes | how do I get ubuntu to show my pidgin messenger list? | 00:29 |
| the_explorer | My x on 12x is busted after nvidia install | 00:29 |

| RealEyes | finally did it after clicking it a million times | 00:29 |
| joallard | Apport* asks me what to do about a Xorg crash. What do I tell it? | 00:30 |
| RealEyes | a million ways | 00:30 |
| sunitasethi | realeyes: on the top right where there is an envelope point and see oidin messenger | 00:30 |
| sumojim | escott: It did, but it's on another PC and I'm literally writing on a pad and typing it out. Anything specific you are looking for? | 00:30 |
| arooni-mobile | escott, i will be creating that /home partition from scratch on a new parition. they are swapping hard drives on my laptop; so i need to move data over to a external hard drive first | 00:30 |
| sunitasethi | escott: this is for speedstream 1001 | 00:30 |
| sumojim | escott: I'll find a USB. | 00:31 |
| escott | arooni-mobile, the permissions on your keyring or your private key are set so that they can only be read by you. if you move them to ntfs and back they will be readable by everyone | 00:31 |
| kriminal_ | no hay ningun español | 00:31 |

| escott | sunitasethi, don't know the model, try it in the livecd thats what it is for | 00:32 |
| arooni-mobile | escott, cant i change permissions on that on a case by case basis manually? | 00:32 |
| arooni-mobile | chmod? | 00:32 |
| kriminal_ | uff | 00:32 |
| joallard | Xorg crashes in segfault. What do I do? | 00:32 |
| escott | arooni-mobile, sure if you want to take a complete inventory of such files | 00:32 |
| sunitasethi | escott: which livecd? | 00:32 |
| escott | !livecd | sunitasethi | 00:32 |
| ubottu | sunitasethi: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 00:32 |

| arooni-mobile | escott, is there a way...., to get file roller to add directories to an archive? or another gui tool to do that? | 00:35 |
| sunitasethi | ubottu i do not have the cd...i install directly from the ubuntu website | 00:35 |
| ubottu | sunitasethi: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:35 |
| escott | arooni-mobile, i havent used fileroller in ages. i suspect it is drag and drop but i dont really know | 00:35 |
| sunitasethi | escott: i do not have cd | 00:35 |
| sunitasethi | escott: i downloaded ubuntu from the intternet directly | 00:36 |
| escott | sunitasethi, it can be a usb keychain (those work better than the cds) | 00:36 |
| sumojim | escott: http://codepad.org/nEa8J62E | 00:36 |
| naryfa | sunitasethi: do you have USB key/pendrive ? | 00:36 |
| sunitasethi | escott: is there any other way? | 00:36 |
| sunitasethi | hello does anyone know how ubuntu 12.04can detect and install a driver for usb ethernet adapter? | 00:36 |
| arooni-mobile | escott, how does work? when i create a new user on the the new ubuntu version, how will permissions match up? | 00:37 |
| escott | sumojim, ok thats not particularly helpful then. do you happen to know how your cpu was marketed? pentium? core? i5? | 00:37 |
| E | http://community.xianlabs.com/topic/9828-say-what-once-it-is-seen-it-cannot-be-unseen/ | 00:38 |
| escott | arooni-mobile, if you make a tar archive the tar archive will store the owner uid (1000 if you are the admin on your ubuntu system) and when you reinstall the new user will also be 1000 so it will be your file again | 00:38 |
| sumojim | escott: core i7 for sure. | 00:38 |
| arooni-mobile | how do i check my current uid escott ? | 00:38 |
| escott | arooni-mobile, id | 00:39 |
| arooni-mobile | escott, youre right | 00:39 |
| escott | sumojim, probably a sandybridge | 00:39 |
| naryfa | escott: sumojim doesn't that thing have a builtin graphics processing? does that have to do anything with the rest? | 00:40 |
| escott | sumojim, unless you unboxed it yesterday in which case it might be an ivybridge. what version of ubuntu is his? | 00:40 |
| sumojim | Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3720QM CPU @ 2.60GHz | 00:40 |
| AdilMoody | i have problem with OT-X080C under ubuntu 12.04 ; it can't connect, please help me | 00:40 |
| escott | sumojim, thats an ivy. thats the problem | 00:40 |
| sumojim | escott: I'm using 10.04 | 00:40 |
| sumojim | escott: oh? | 00:41 |
| escott | sumojim, 12.04 should be ok, 10.04 is not going to work. but they had engineering samples in time to get the drivers for the ivy's prior to the release | 00:41 |
| sumojim | Ok, I'll try 12.04, hopefully that will work with our software. | 00:42 |
| sumojim | escott: You wouldn't have a reference for that I could show my boss would you? | 00:42 |
| maheanuu | Is there any way to disable the lockout/screen saver mode while watching streaming video in Ubuntu? | 00:43 |
| sunitasethi | escott: is there any other way to get usb ethernet adapter to work on ubuntu 12.04? | 00:43 |
| escott | sumojim, thats just brand spanking new hardware. they weren't even writing drivers for that 2 years ago | 00:43 |
| naryfa | maheanuu: that should be an option in an application you use to watch the video | 00:43 |
| escott | sunitasethi, depends on the chipset. have you tried the liveusb? | 00:43 |
| naryfa | maheanuu: here's something related | 00:45 |
| naryfa | http://askubuntu.com/questions/57350/disable-screensaver-while-watching-flash-videos | 00:45 |
| maheanuu | naryfa, I am running firefox for my browser, and I cannot find anything to stop the screen saver or the keyboard lockout from coming on after about 10 mins of no activity | 00:45 |
| escott | sumojim, i would recommend that you install 12.04, and run 10.04 inside virtualbox if you have some need to use software only for older releases | 00:45 |
| sunitasethi | escott: i do not have a udb | 00:45 |
| escott | sunitasethi, how do you intend to install ubuntu then? | 00:46 |
| maheanuu | I find myself having to relog in if the screen goes dark | 00:46 |
| warfaren | maheanuu: i use "caffeine" for that | 00:46 |
| naryfa | maheanuu: you can disable the lock itself if you need to | 00:46 |
| warfaren | for flash video, rignt? | 00:46 |
| rsumi | i'm on ubuntu 12.04 with gnome and using empathy for chat because i guess its the default but for some reason every time get a message i get 2 messages on the bottom of the screen every time someone messages me something which is super annoying. One would have the user icon and the other would have a blank icon but the same exact message. why is this? | 00:46 |
| sunitasethi | escott: i have ubuntu 12.04 that i installed directly from the web | 00:46 |
| naryfa | naryfa: but the screen will still blank out | 00:47 |
| escott | sunitasethi, you mean wubi? | 00:47 |
| sunitasethi | hello does anyone know how ubuntu 12.04can detect and install a driver for usb ethernet adapter? | 00:47 |
| OerHeks | AdilMoody, usb 3G sometimes need usb_modeswitch | 00:47 |
| sunitasethi | i have ubuntu 10.04 cd but now i updated to 12.05 | 00:47 |
| warfaren | maheanuu: caffeine detects when flash player is running and temp disables your screensaver | 00:47 |
| naryfa | maheanuu: or use warfaren's option, sounds fair | 00:47 |
| sunitasethi | escott: i have ubuntu 10.04 but i updated to 12.04 | 00:48 |
| Confused2012 | Am I in the right place for assistance w/Ubuntu dl and install? | 00:48 |
| escott | Confused2012, yes | 00:48 |
| warfaren | it requires a bit of tweaking but once you get the hang of it it works just fine | 00:48 |
| maheanuu | varfaren, and naryfa, I have looked for months trying to cess out this problem and not sure. | 00:48 |
| naryfa | maheanuu: I used to disable lock and leave screen-turn-off at about 15 minutes, even if the screen blanked out, the most I had to do is move the mouse. | 00:49 |
| naryfa | maheanuu: but maybe that caffeine thing will do justice for you | 00:49 |
| naryfa | maheanuu: try | 00:50 |

| escott | sunitasethi, i cant help you | 00:50 |
| Confused2012 | I attempted to dl. Nero glitched after a nearly hour dl. Trying to burn in a different place but it appears to have eaten the dl. I can't find the icon nor does a search work | 00:50 |
| sumojim | escott: Thank you, you've been a great help. | 00:50 |
| warfaren | yeah if you want the screensaver in other cases, then caffeine is the way to go | 00:50 |
| OerHeks | sunitasethi, normally you need wired cable to download any addons | 00:50 |
| maheanuu | Right now I am watching the aljazeera news cast and if I leave the keyboard or mouse the screen first goes dim then black and I am required to relog in in order to watch the video or activate my desktop | 00:50 |
| warfaren | yep same problem i had | 00:50 |
| sumojim | I'm 95% sure our software will be fine in 12.04. | 00:51 |

| naryfa | maheanuu: go to system settings and disable lock screen | 00:51 |
| sunitasethi | why doesn't ubuntu 12.04 detect the usb ? | 00:52 |
| maheanuu | warfaren, is cafeine a browser? | 00:52 |
| naryfa | maheanuu: it's an application | 00:52 |
| Confused2012 | I don't know what it is. Last time I did this, I dl'd a program, as per instructions and burned the dvd. No prob. I followed the instructions this happened and I'm clueless. | 00:52 |

| naryfa | maheanuu: ok | 00:54 |
| escott | Confused2012, open your webbrowsers downloads tool it should be listed there | 00:54 |
| warfaren | Confused2012: the DL? a dual layer disc? or download? | 00:55 |
| Confused2012 | Its auto opening Nero which I'm not sure how to get it to burn a DVD. I've had probs with Nero before but not on this machine. I couldn't get it to work. | 00:55 |
| warfaren | Confused2012: be sure to md5 verify the iso file before burning | 00:56 |
| escott | Confused2012, the ubuntu.com website has screenshots with instructions for many common burning applications, nero is probably in that list | 00:56 |
| === Hackit is now known as ImperialDroid | ||
| Confused2012 | Any way to save it from Browser to Flashdrive... Nero has yet to work for me | 00:57 |
| warfaren | Confused2012: if youre running nero now i guess you are currently on windows? in that case i would recommend IMGBurn for burning .iso files | 00:57 |
| the_explorer | Ok.. did some trouble shooting . Definitely the nv driver. Installed 10.04 and as soon as I installed the driver,x failed. | 00:57 |

| onats | hi guys | 00:58 |
| onats | I'm trying to run a service but i keep on getting an error that it could not write pid file in /var/run. how should i fix this? ubuntu 12.04 LTS server | 00:58 |
| warfaren | Confused2012: the iso file? if it checks out with md5 verification you dont need to download again | 00:58 |
| Confused2012 | okies, I'll try that. TY | 00:59 |
| the_explorer | So has any one discovered a work around four the nv driver or am I better of in windows until the next release | 00:59 |
| warfaren | onats: and youre root when trying to start the service? | 00:59 |
| naryfa | onats: change permissions , but where... ask escott | 00:59 |
| escott | Confused2012, you might also check if there is a LUG (linux users group) in your area. they might be able to provide you with some known good install disks | 01:00 |
| Confused2012 | TY. | 01:00 |
| onats | warfaren, no. the app warns me it isn't safe to run it as root. does root run the services upon startup? | 01:01 |
| warfaren | the_explorer: are you using the one from ubuntu restricted drivers or the one from nvidia.com? | 01:01 |
| escott | onats, yes root runs all services, but a good service will drop permissions and change to another user. what service is this? | 01:02 |
| the_explorer | Warfaren, restricted | 01:02 |
| warfaren | onats: alright well i suppose you may need to be root to launch it but it will actually run as a different user | 01:02 |
| onats | escott: its a nexus repository installed as a service | 01:02 |
| warfaren | the_explorer: and what hardware were you on? | 01:02 |
| the_explorer | Gts250. CPU is bulldozer | 01:02 |
| warfaren | oh im surprised it doesnt work well with the one ubuntu suggests | 01:03 |
| the_explorer | Warfaren I've un hooked my kvm switch and uninstalled driver reinstalling noire | 01:04 |
| the_explorer | Now | 01:04 |
| warfaren | the_explorer: have you tried the one from nvidia.com too? | 01:04 |
| warfaren | its typically more up to date | 01:04 |
| warfaren | but might not always work | 01:04 |
| the_explorer | Should i kill iommu warfaren? | 01:05 |
| peepsalot | i installed a new nvidia graphics card recently, which required me to reinstall my graphics drivers for it to work. it worked ok for 2 days, but now when i reboot it says it has to go into low graphics mode. i've tried reinstalling it a couple times but it's just not working now. any ideas what i can do? | 01:05 |
| warfaren | the_explorer: not sure what that is sorry | 01:05 |
| peepsalot | i think this happened because some kernel update was made last night | 01:06 |
| Takyoji | Is there any way to get gnome-panel working PROPERLY on 12.04, which worked fine in prior releases? https://techsanity.us/gnome-panel.png | 01:06 |
| Takyoji | Note, another thing I can't do is right-click on the panels at all. | 01:06 |
| peepsalot | oh and it doesn't even get into low graphics mode, i have to use virtual console | 01:06 |
| Takyoji | Is this a known regression? | 01:06 |
| Takyoji | I've also reset all gnome-panel settings and everything | 01:06 |
| David-A | Takyoji: Alt+right-click panels in 12.04 i believe | 01:07 |
| Confused2012 | I installed IMGBurn. Unable to get dl out of browser. Ideas? | 01:07 |
| warfaren | Confused2012: what browser are you using? | 01:07 |
| escott | Takyoji, is that really gnome-panel is is that fallback? | 01:07 |
| Takyoji | Doesn't seem to work in this case | 01:07 |
| Confused2012 | FireFox | 01:07 |
| the_explorer | iommu is a new feature that I haven't run with ubuntu Gina try killing it in bios default | 01:07 |
| Takyoji | This is of trying to use "Gnome Classic" | 01:08 |
| Takyoji | which I've always had the problem of since the beginning of the 12.04 release | 01:08 |
| warfaren | Confused2012: in your download manager where you see the file, rightclick the file and press open folder | 01:08 |
| Confused2012 | No longer an option since closing browser to install IMGBurn | 01:08 |
| bandit5432 | Takyoji, have you tried starting it with gnome classic no effects? | 01:09 |
| Takyoji | Yes | 01:09 |
| Confused2012 | The option is light, not dark, and clicking on it does nothing. | 01:09 |
| Takyoji | Also, the blur is from post-processing, it's not actually shown like so | 01:09 |
| warfaren | Confused2012: you should find download manager under tools i believe | 01:09 |
| Takyoji | Also, I'm using a dual monitor setup, therefore the black space on the bottom is not actually seen | 01:09 |
| bandit5432 | Takyoji, i have seen other screens shots like that so i am looking for where i saw them | 01:09 |
| the_explorer | It worked. It was one of my bios settings. if anyone has issues with nv drivers tell them to default BIOS settings | 01:09 |
| Confused2012 | Yes, I did. I can find the file. And before closing the browser, I could open the folder. Now I can't | 01:09 |
| bandit5432 | Takyoji, could you run wmctrl -m in a terminal and let us know what the name is | 01:10 |
| warfaren | Confused2012: you probably chose to open the file instead of saving it, which just saves it to a temporary folder and deletes it after you restart the browser... | 01:10 |
| bandit5432 | Takyoji, and env | grep -i gdmsession | 01:10 |
| Confused2012 | Than its listed but no longer there? | 01:11 |
| warfaren | you could try searching your entire hard drive for *.iso if you think it could be there somewhere | 01:11 |
| warfaren | otherwise im afraid youll have to download again | 01:12 |
| Takyoji | http://pastebin.com/P9qq9htk | 01:12 |
| Confused2012 | I can try that. The DL takes an hour. BRB | 01:12 |
| warfaren | unless you wanna try hard drive data recovery, which i do not recommend btw | 01:12 |

| naryfa | sunitasethi: your adapter needs a driver, open Ubuntu Aditional Drivers (or something like that) in Ubuntu and see if anything is listed there | 01:16 |
| bandit5432 | Takyoji, is it still showing up the same? | 01:16 |
| Takyoji | Yes, the exact same | 01:16 |
| mohamez | can format i USB which is write protected ? | 01:16 |
| bandit5432 | Takyoji, are you using the default theme or have you changed it in the past? | 01:16 |
| mohamez | can i format a USB which is write protected ? | 01:17 |
| Takyoji | Only difference is that I can right-click, and changing the panel size does nothing to the buggy rendering effect | 01:17 |
| gry | mohamez: maybe, i think you could try and see whether it works | 01:17 |
| Takyoji | I have not changed the theme, I'm certainly willing to destroy ANY GNOME 2 files as well | 01:17 |
| mohamez | gry how ? | 01:17 |
| sunitasethi | naryfa: there is no driver in additional drivers | 01:18 |
| bandit5432 | Takyoji, hmm let me look have you tried right clicking and deleting those extra panels? | 01:19 |
| Takyoji | It's all one panel | 01:19 |

| bandit5432 | Takyoji, those extra lines are 1 panel not 6 extra? | 01:20 |

| RealEyes | its trying to just download the whole thing | 01:20 |

| smw | Drecondius, no, he seems to be at a good speed :-) | 01:21 |
| Takyoji | Actually I guess not | 01:21 |
| RealEyes | How do I tell qbittorrent to only download certain files? | 01:21 |
| Takyoji | Was able to manually delete each extra instance | 01:21 |
| gry | RealEyes: transmission has a list of files to download in the 'add torrent' window (i didn't use qbittorrent but it might have an 'advanced' button or somelike in a similar dialog) | 01:21 |
| RealEyes | i cant use transmission because it wont accept magnet links | 01:21 |

| Drecondius | OK, so After making a third Clean installation of 12.04 and still booting to a black screen following the purplish splash screen, I modified my grub with the nomodeset paramater and now grub doesn't exist, where did i goof? | 01:23 |
| RealEyes | ubuntu freezes on me all the time | 01:23 |
| RealEyes | and ive got an ssd | 01:23 |
| RealEyes | this is madness! | 01:23 |
| Takyoji | I can't quite get a "Remove from Panel" option or anything | 01:23 |

| bazhang | bandit5432, its a netsplit, not rebooting servers | 01:26 |
| Drecondius | Can i access the boot repair from usb media? If so that might solve my issue | 01:26 |
| AngrySpam98 | SO...my name has 3 parts (angry, spam, 98....remember that) 98...9*8 = 24 ... 2+4 = 6 (now the three parts of my name come in) 6 three times = devil's number | 01:26 |
| AngrySpam98 | hehe | 01:26 |
| bandit5432 | bazhang, i know it was a joke sorry was not funny | 01:27 |
| mohamez | what are the differences between rootkit toolkit and boot and they maening ? | 01:27 |
| drizzlin | actually, 666 is the number of man | 01:27 |
| bazhang | mohamez, how does that relate to ubuntu | 01:27 |
| drizzlin | learn2bible bitch | 01:27 |
| bazhang | drizzlin, stop cursing and stay on topic | 01:27 |
| RealEyes | bazhang, it allowed me to add the torrent | 01:28 |
| RealEyes | but its not letting me pick what to download | 01:28 |
| RealEyes | and what not to | 01:28 |
| drizzlin | what are you trying to download? | 01:28 |
| bazhang | RealEyes, it opens a window and lets you check (in a handy check box) what to dl and what not to | 01:28 |
| RealEyes | had to select properties! | 01:28 |
| RealEyes | bazhang, its not doing that, thats what im used to | 01:29 |
| RealEyes | i had to pause it | 01:29 |
| RealEyes | then right click | 01:29 |
| RealEyes | then properties | 01:29 |
| bandit5432 | Takyoji, did you get that link i sent your way? | 01:29 |
| bazhang | RealEyes, then configure it to do so. it works 100% fine here | 01:29 |
| Drecondius | How can I repair my grub loader if I can't access repair tools from efi booting? | 01:29 |
| Takyoji | bandit5432: Yes | 01:29 |
| Takyoji | I'm just a bit unclear of what to do | 01:29 |
| escott | Drecondius, boot a livecd | 01:30 |
| bandit5432 | Takyoji, you need to delete the extra instances that are listed i believe | 01:30 |
| Takyoji | I don't have duplicates listed (likely because I remove the panels) | 01:30 |
| Takyoji | removed* | 01:30 |
| onats | hey guys | 01:30 |
| RealEyes | drizzlin, im trying to get the Dragonball show | 01:30 |
| onats | how do i report the hostname of a static ip machine to the dns server (router)? | 01:30 |
| drizzlin | oh | 01:30 |
| bandit5432 | Takyoji, hmm did you look at the defaults it has listed? | 01:31 |
| Drecondius | escott: let me clarify, NO option with efi booting. and if I don't efi boot I don't have network. | 01:31 |
| mohamez | RealEyes: you can try nyaa.eu tracker | 01:31 |
| escott | Drecondius, even with efi boot you should be able to boot the livecd | 01:31 |
| bandit5432 | Takyoji, it does not list anything like 'menu-bar-0', 'indicators-0', 'show-desktop-0', 'window-list-0', 'workspace-switcher-0', 'menu-bar-1' ? | 01:32 |
| RealEyes | transmission keeps freezing though | 01:32 |
| maheanuu_ | Ok, am running caffiene and the screensaver and s | 01:32 |
| Takyoji | I actually just reset it to the listed defaults | 01:32 |
| maheanuu_ | log in have been eliminated, thanks for all the help I had no idea that caffiene the software existed | 01:33 |
| RealEyes | transmission keeps freezing x_x | 01:33 |
| Takyoji | Is there any way to get gnome-panel working on the second monitor (whereas it's all one X screen), or is such not really possible without having separate X screens? | 01:34 |
| maheanuu_ | the downloader? | 01:34 |
| mohamez | RealEyes: one piece is cool too | 01:34 |
| bandit5432 | Takyoji, did you get a normal looking screen now? | 01:34 |
| maheanuu_ | RealEyes, is that the torrent downloading proggie | 01:34 |
| bazhang | mohamez, please stay on topic | 01:34 |
| bandit5432 | RealEyes, does transmission die or does it kill your connection? | 01:35 |
| RealEyes | its turning grey | 01:35 |
| RealEyes | and then lightens back up to normal | 01:35 |
| maheanuu_ | You are in pause perchance | 01:35 |
| mohamez | bazhang: OK, Sorry | 01:35 |
| RealEyes | i think it might have to do with my HDD | 01:35 |
| RealEyes | writing the download to it or something | 01:36 |
| bandit5432 | RealEyes, did you install the new version of transmission ? | 01:36 |
| RealEyes | i installed it last week | 01:36 |
| mohamez | chek or add tracker list | 01:36 |
| bandit5432 | RealEyes, from ppa or just regular repo? | 01:36 |
| RealEyes | not sure | 01:36 |
| RealEyes | google i think | 01:36 |
| Takyoji | I guess | 01:37 |
| bandit5432 | Takyoji, i dont know about the second monitor you need to ask some one that uses 2 monitors to help you | 01:37 |
| RealEyes | really not liking this | 01:37 |
| mohamez | RealEyes: i thik utorrent is good | 01:37 |
| mohamez | *think | 01:37 |
| bandit5432 | RealEyes, see if you have Transmission installed from ppa https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/ppa | 01:38 |

| xistancelaptop | DarwinSurvivor: I'm going to go install that now :) Thought Tomato was the only firmware out there that did what it does | 01:54 |
| Drecondius | going the shortcut route for now | 01:54 |
| Sir_Konrad | Ohai. | 01:55 |
| bandit5432 | even the link that DarwinSurvivor pointed him to on grub says to install boot-repair from ppa | 01:55 |
| DarwinSurvivor | xistancelaptop: make sure you flash from a wired connection! | 01:55 |
| sbattey | I am having issues with a test environment. I am attempting to modify an image with word presses header uploader, but the image permissions are ending up as 600 instead of 644 like they're supposed to be. This is under ubuntu and I am also running suphp | 01:56 |
| Drecondius | So, ran the boot repair tool and it gave me http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002269/ | 01:56 |
| Sir_Konrad | Sorry fixed my auto away system. | 01:57 |
| Etale | Hi fellas. I'm in the Ubuntu installation now. I have a 376GB of nothingness (alongside 98GB of Windows). I want to create a dual boot. Out of the nothing partition I'm adding a 90GB Linux partition. What should I put as mount point? | 01:58 |
| Sir_Konrad | Etale, / | 01:59 |
| Drecondius | I fear i shall return momentarily in utter defefat. Wish me luck :) | 01:59 |
| Etale | Sir_Konrad, and my storage partition? | 01:59 |
| Sir_Konrad | You want another partition along the Linux one for your stuff? | 02:00 |
| Etale | Yes, an NTFS partition shared by windows and linux. | 02:00 |
| Sir_Konrad | Nothing then. Just make it the file system you want and the system will take care of the mounting stuff. | 02:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Etale: are you trying to figure out where to mount the windows partition? | 02:00 |
| maheanuu_ | naryfa, warfaren, thank both of you for your kind help, I am totally free of the stopping of video or having to log in after lieaving my machine quiescent for about 10 minutes | 02:00 |
| Etale | Oh, wait. I don't see an NTFS option... | 02:01 |
| Sir_Konrad | Etale: Are you in the installation? | 02:01 |
| Etale | DarwinSurvivor, no my windows is already installed. | 02:01 |
| Sir_Konrad | Yeah you won't in the install. =P | 02:01 |
| Etale | Sir_Konrad, yes. | 02:01 |
| Etale | Sir_Konrad, I guess I should use gparted? | 02:01 |
| moes | Ubuntu-10.04.../dev/sda unallocated partition table unrecognized...error from cf sda bad primary partition 1: partition ends in the final parted cyclinder...any fix without having to build new partitions ?? | 02:02 |
| Untitled_only | sup room | 02:02 |
| Sir_Konrad | Etale, I'm not keen on gparted and if it'll let you make an NTFS partition, but maybe you could use FAT32? | 02:02 |
| Etale | Why not? I would prefer NTFS... | 02:02 |
| Etale | Hmm... Maybe I can do that from within windows? | 02:02 |
| Sir_Konrad | Yeah you could. That's what I would do. | 02:03 |
| Etale | Good. | 02:03 |
| Etale | That's a plan. | 02:03 |
| sbattey | anyone know anything about suphp and umask? | 02:03 |
| Sir_Konrad | Go for it bro. ;P | 02:03 |
| Etale | And then afterwards, what would the mount point of the storage partition be? | 02:03 |
| Etale | *should | 02:03 |
| Sir_Konrad | Etale: Ubuntu will handle that when you reboot. It'll probably end up being something like /dev/sda2 | 02:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Sir_Konrad: that's not a mountpoint, that's a device location. | 02:04 |
| sunitasethi | anyone know how i can get a driver for Bus 002 Device 018: ID 067c:1001 Efficient Networks, Inc. Siemens SpeedStream 100MBps Ethernet | 02:04 |
| sunitasethi | ? | 02:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Etale: it will be something in /media/ (the directory will probably be named after the partition's name) | 02:04 |
| Sir_Konrad | DarwinSurvivor: Ok, I'm mistaken. Sorry! =\ | 02:05 |
| Etale | DarwinSurvivor, so under mount point should I say "\mount\" or "\mount\name_I_make_up\"? | 02:06 |
| Sir_Konrad | Hey guys gotta run. Talk later. | 02:06 |
| Prodigal | how do you back up only the .docs .xls .jpg etc....out of windows into an ubuntu partition | 02:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Etale: you can specify one if you really want to, but ubuntu will auto-mount it the first time to you try to access it via nautilus | 02:06 |
| Drecondius | as if it weren't already a kick in the groin, I am re-installing and my persistance isn't working :( | 02:07 |
| Etale | Okay. | 02:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Etale: the only time you really need it premounted by fstab is if you need it to be accessible outside your desktop environment (cron jobs, apache, etc) | 02:07 |
| Etale | What does "allocation unit size" mean? Windows is asking me to specify this when I'm trying to create the NTFS partition. | 02:08 |
| Etale | And should I "enable file and folder compression"? | 02:09 |
| Hoyt | hi | 02:09 |
| Hoyt | /my and /my/myblog/blog-detail.html funtions , now I want to redirect /my/myblog/[0-9]+ to /my/myblog/blog-detail.html | 02:09 |
| Hoyt | but , /my/myblog/[0-9]+ raises 404 error | 02:10 |
| Drecondius | Etale: are you formatting a drive for windows? | 02:10 |
| Aprel | Etale: I think that's how big you want each "chunk" of the fs to be. A larger number is porb more efficient on a larger hdd, but may waste more space, partic. with samll files. Does windows recommend somthing? | 02:10 |
| Drecondius | Default allocation size is 4096 | 02:10 |
| Etale | Drecondius, no. Windows is already installed. I'm creating an NTFS partition via windows, to be shared with Ubuntu. | 02:10 |
| Aprel | I wouldn't bother with file and folder compression unless you've got a powerful processor and a stingy hdd | 02:11 |
| Etale | Aprel, it just says default, but doesn't specify what that is. | 02:11 |
| Etale | I guess I'll do that. | 02:11 |
| Hoyt | Drecondius: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1648394 | 02:11 |
| Etale | Done! | 02:12 |
| Etale | Back to Ubuntu installation. | 02:12 |
| Drecondius | Cross my fingers and hope for Pepsi here i go to try to boot back into yet another clean install, I'm starting to think ubuntu doesn't like GUID file tables | 02:14 |

| manadys | has anyone seen any performance issues on ubuntu when trying to host a website on a non-standard port? | 02:30 |

| cs378 | hello | 02:33 |
| manadys | http://pastebin.com/T86b4Wge this was from the server itself | 02:33 |
| manadys | when going to localhost port 3000 no issues, but as soon as an IP was involved there were issues | 02:34 |
| Drecondius | Grub problem fixed : Check. Now X is nowhere to be found :( Any Ideas as to why? | 02:34 |
| Drecondius | I can't find the forum with a similar issue | 02:34 |
| manadys | I adjusted it to give precedence to ipv4 in gai.conf and that resolved that issue, but outside computers are still taking 25 seconds to load a static page (was previously 45 seconds so the precedence on ipv4 helped slightly) | 02:35 |
| Drecondius | Ubuntu loads fine, makes it to the spalsh screen, and when the Xserver is supposed to start it drops to a terminal style interface | 02:36 |

| mattwj2002 | is it like a computer cluster? | 02:37 |
| Drecondius | mattwj2002 when you sign up to the forums you have clout access, it creates a watch folder in your home folder that you can drag and drop files to upload to the cloud | 02:37 |

| InferiorHuman | on my upstairs computer that is. | 02:40 |
| zykotick9 | InferiorHuman: is folding@home a cli program? | 02:41 |
| InferiorHuman | zykotick9, yea | 02:41 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, screen -dmS folding ./foldingathome | 02:41 |
| mattwj2002 | ubuntu one is something different | 02:41 |

| mattwj2002 | player | 02:41 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, alright then how do I resume it?? | 02:42 |
| zykotick9 | InferiorHuman: "screen -r" if you only have one screen instance should work | 02:42 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, screen -D -RR folding (the -RR steals it if someone else has it) | 02:42 |

| InferiorHuman | when i type screen in ssh it returns to command prompt though im not seeing the screen window anymore | 02:44 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, that starts a new screen session | 02:44 |
| zykotick9 | InferiorHuman: to re-attach to screen "screen -rd 4372" should reconnect to the 1st one you have listed | 02:45 |
| InferiorHuman | nothing happens if I hit ctrl+a+d from the ssh window | 02:45 |
| InferiorHuman | see im very confused | 02:45 |
| zykotick9 | InferiorHuman: you need to be inside the screen session - then use the ctrl+a+d | 02:45 |
| InferiorHuman | idk what this means, be inside the screen session | 02:45 |
| KingKatari | How do i fix a task leak as it is causing tasks that are <defunct> | 02:46 |
| KingKatari | i am running ubuntu 11.10 | 02:46 |
| Confused2012 | Best I can tell, that's what it means. Not enough memory. Not possible. | 02:46 |
| zykotick9 | InferiorHuman: as an example, type "screen" then ctrl+a+d and it should say detached and kick you back to before you typed "screen" | 02:46 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, compare "env | grep screen" | 02:46 |
| mouche | vlt: still looking to remove 'logout' from the session menu? | 02:46 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, or just echo $TERM | 02:46 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, says xterm | 02:47 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, then you are not in a screen session | 02:47 |
| InferiorHuman | ok so now it works im in the main screen "screen" | 02:47 |
| InferiorHuman | i hit ctrl+a+d to detach from what...? | 02:48 |
| zykotick9 | escott: i didn't know "echo $TERM" would give different result in screen, good to know - thanks. | 02:48 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, to detach that screen session. it keeps running but you drop back to your ssh shell | 02:48 |
| escott | zykotick9, TERMCAP is also different | 02:48 |

| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 02:49 |

| escott | InferiorHuman, screen -r PID.NAME (that last bit just needs to be something to identify uniquely the screen you want to resume) | 02:50 |
| manadys | the router is only involved as a WAP (at least I hope) | 02:51 |
| escott | manadys, its possible there is some kernel config option maybe in /sys but ive not heard of it | 02:51 |
| etyrnal | if i'm running ubuntu 11.04, and update manager is offering release 11.10, and i choose to accept, what, on this system will that blow to pieces, and what can i expect to still be functional after the smoke clears? | 02:51 |

| etyrnal | will a release upgrade break currently installed software, custom configurations etc? | 02:53 |
| escott | Confused2012, you would have to shrink the windows partition. if there is corruption on the windows (and you intend to keep the windows or keep its data) i would STRONGLY recommend booting a windows rescue CD and fixing the corruption PRIOR to resizing the partition | 02:53 |
| jrib | etyrnal: it should not | 02:53 |

| Confused2012 | Tried to rescue the Windows. My program dies. Won't even analysize. Windows is toast. | 02:54 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, if fah terminated the screen session would close. perhaps fah never got started? | 02:54 |
| jrib | etyrnal: well you should have backups but you should always have backups, not just when upgrading | 02:54 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, but why if i do ~/folding/fah the program works | 02:54 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, the use of ~ might be problematic there. try it with a full path | 02:54 |

| InferiorHuman | and it works fine | 02:55 |
| etyrnal | jrib, i agree... there's no irreplaceable data on it... just long hours of installing apps for the kids | 02:55 |
| escott | Confused2012, you could delete the windows partition, but you would lose all data on the computer | 02:55 |
| dasKreech | I have someone who has a Siemens USB Ethernet device that wasn't being recognized. I've got the driver loaded so the device is recognized now but it is in a loop connecting to the network | 02:55 |

| ahmad | hii | 02:55 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, does fah require any environment variables? | 02:56 |
| Confused2012 | I've done this before. I'm not understanding why its not working. | 02:56 |
| Aprel | KingKatari: if you don't get a responce here, try asking on #ubuntu-server | 02:56 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, wait I was wrong. if i run fah from the dir it works. but if I type the full path I get this... | 02:56 |
| InferiorHuman | /home/x/folding/fah: line 1: ./fah6: No such file or directory | 02:56 |
| windbuntu | what is your goal now Confused2012 what do you want to end up with? | 02:56 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, fah6 is in the same dir however... | 02:56 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, screen -dmS folding /home/x/folding/fah (the first folding is the name of the screen session | 02:57 |

| dasKreech | alternatively does anyone know about debugging an ethernet connection ? | 02:57 |
| Confused2012 | depends on the connection problem | 02:58 |

| escott | newba, cast it | 03:08 |
| arooni-mobile__ | hi folks; having trouble installing any packages: https://gist.github.com/2773047 | 03:08 |
| newba | escott but how? | 03:08 |
| arooni-mobile__ | ubuntu 12.04 | 03:08 |
| Logan_ | arooni-mobile__: You need to be more specific than that. | 03:08 |
| newba | escott: (const char *) dont run... | 03:09 |
| Logan_ | arooni-mobile__: Oh, sorry, I didn't see the link. | 03:09 |
| tureco | i can't join to #ubuntu-es | 03:09 |
| escott | newba, i think: (const char *) &intvar. this is really offtopic for this channel | 03:09 |
| Dr_Willis | i rember why i never bothered to learn C ;) | 03:09 |
| tureco | this is my first time | 03:09 |
| newba | escott: why & before intvar? :) | 03:09 |
| newba | escott: do you know? | 03:10 |
| escott | newba, because you wanted a pointer. this is really not a safe thing to do. endianness would probably make this platform dependent | 03:10 |
| newba | escott: fine | 03:11 |
| newba | escott: thanks man | 03:11 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, i changed it to /home/x/folding/fah6 -smp -verbosity 9 & | 03:11 |
| InferiorHuman | instead of fah6 blah blah | 03:11 |
| InferiorHuman | but it still wont work | 03:11 |
| newba | Dr_Willis: C is a beautfull language =C | 03:11 |
| escott | newba, unless you wanted to treat the value of the integer as the memory address of the const char * in which case drop the dereferencing operator | 03:11 |
| Confused2012 | The controls I used in the previous version aren't there. Is there some way to access the hard drive through the DVD version. I can't install. | 03:12 |
| Confused2012 | I am trying to figure out why I can't install. | 03:12 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, im not familiar with that program. examine your environment "env | grep fold" and see what it needs to run properly. check the readme for fah | 03:13 |
| newba | escott: i want to use in getaddinfo function, where the secound argument, service i received as a int by another function... | 03:13 |
| newba | escott: ops, getaddrinfo | 03:13 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, i can just do | 03:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Confused2012: you may need to lcarify the whole problem to the channel. You are saying that installer cant see the hard drive? or are you trying to access it from the live cd? | 03:13 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, screen -dmS /home/x/folding/fah6 and the options | 03:14 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, and it works, thanks so much for all the help!!! | 03:14 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, -S needs a name for the session | 03:14 |
| Confused2012 | I am access Ubuntu through the burned DVD. I cannot install. I also can't figure out where the controls are that I understand. | 03:14 |
| InferiorHuman | yea i named it folding forgot to type it there | 03:14 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, i wonder if they didn't put a shebang at the top of the fah script | 03:14 |
| InferiorHuman | shebang ? | 03:14 |
| dasKreech | anyone have any experience debugging Network Manager? | 03:15 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, #! | 03:15 |
| InferiorHuman | yea there isnt one | 03:15 |
| dasKreech | InferiorHuman: #! | 03:15 |
| InferiorHuman | if i add that will it work? | 03:15 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, stupid scientists | 03:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Confused2012: that statement seems.. odd. You mean you are trying to INSTALL ubuntu from a dvd? Im not sure what you mean by controls | 03:15 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, all their fancy PhDs and they can't do a simple shebang | 03:15 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, add #!/bin/bash to the top of fah and it should work fine | 03:16 |
| Confused2012 | I am running Ubuntu off a DVD. Its different from the last version I had. I can't figure out how to access my hard drive. Nor do I understand why its not working as I had no trouble installing last time. | 03:16 |
| escott | Dr_Willis, i think Confused2012 means "what happened to gnome" | 03:16 |
| InferiorHuman | i added #! to the top | 03:16 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, still doesnt work lol with the "shebang" and shebang is hilarious btw | 03:17 |
| Dr_Willis | escott: at this time any guess is possible. ;) | 03:17 |
| escott | Confused2012, hit the windows key and type in a keyword for the program you want to run. like "disk" or "partition" | 03:17 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, #!/bin/bash at the top and it doesnt work? | 03:17 |
| InferiorHuman | oh... #1/bin/bash | 03:17 |
| Dr_Willis | isent there some 'getting started with unity' site with videos and docs . i recall seeing one in the works a few mo back | 03:17 |
| InferiorHuman | i just had #! | 03:17 |
| Confused2012 | Let me go back to the Gnome part. Has Ubuntu been completely rewritten since last year? | 03:18 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, #! tells the kernel "execute this with the following program" so in some cases it is #!/bin/python or #!/bin/perl etc | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Confused2012: gnome2 is basically dead. gnome3 is the new gnome | 03:18 |

| Confused2012 | Yes, I want to access the hard drive files. 80 gig hd. Not using 80 gigs. Ubuntu won't install cause it doesn't have memory except it does. | 03:20 |
| mattwj2002 | openstack? | 03:20 |
| Dr_Willis | i have no issues accessing my half dozen hard drives from Ubun tu 12.04 | 03:20 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, nothing shows up in screen | 03:20 |
| Hilikus | escott: i think that's something else. that needs kernel modules. i only want high priority, no real time modules | 03:20 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, since they couldn't get their shebangs in there I wouldn't worry too much. they probably did something else stupid. not sure what though | 03:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Confused2012: you say 'memory' when you mean 'drive space' ? | 03:20 |

| === r4oni is now known as raon1 | ||
| Dr_Willis | Confused2012: a lot of what you are saying makes no sense. What isyour native language? | 03:22 |
| Dr_Willis | 4.4 gb is barely enought space to install ubuntu onto. | 03:23 |
| Confused2012 | English. Right now I'm making perfect sense to me. 80 gig hard drive. Most unused. Can't install Ubuntu needing 4.4 gigs. | 03:23 |
| Drecondius | Confused2012: Is that space unpartitioned? | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Confused2012: check your partition layout. If you cant make any more partitons. it dosent matter how much free space the hard drive has. | 03:24 |
| escott | Confused2012, perhaps an older version of ubuntu fit within 4.4GB of free disk space, but not the modern ubuntu | 03:24 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, thanks alot for your help bro i got it working now. | 03:24 |
| Confused2012 | I can't check anything. The controls I understand aren't there. This is what I have said repeatedly. | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | controls? meaning what exactly... | 03:24 |
| escott | Confused2012, hit the windows key and type some keyword like "partition" or "disk" | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | The unity gui is not that hard to figure out... | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | or fallback and use the terminal | 03:25 |
| arooni-mobile | can anyone help me | 03:25 |
| Confused2012 | It is when the controls I know aren't there. | 03:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Confused2012: we dont really know what you mean by 'controls' | 03:25 |
| escott | Confused2012, have you attempted what i told you to do? | 03:25 |
| Dr_Willis | so we are guessing at about 75% of what you are saying | 03:26 |
| Confused2012 | The Ubuntu version I used last year ain't this wannabee I don't know how to use | 03:26 |
| Dr_Willis | !unity | 03:26 |

| airlynx | Is there a repository for 12.04 that would contain older kernels that I could try? I'm having problems with a certain device that worked before an upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 and I just want to experiment | 03:26 |
| escott | airlynx, you could probably select your old kernel from the boot menu | 03:26 |
| Confused2012 | Thank you for helping with the DL. Wish it was something I could actually use. | 03:27 |
| airlynx | escott: I did a full reformat during install, the older kernel isn't available anymore | 03:27 |
| escott | !kernel | airlynx | 03:27 |
| ubottu | airlynx: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 03:27 |
| * Dr_Willis sends him the bill | 03:27 | |
| Dr_Willis | even my wife figured out unity... | 03:27 |
| airlynx | escott: I understand this, I've had certain hardware issues in the past that were fixed by a kernel upgrade (e.g. M-Audio Fast Track Ultra doesn't work pre 2.6) but when I upgraded my Plantronics USB Headset now crashes my whole system which I've been trying to fix | 03:29 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, how can I detach a GUI window | 03:30 |
| InferiorHuman | lke run a gui window in screen to keep it open but be able to detach it?? | 03:30 |

| Hilikus | where are permissions for process priority and niceness set? i'm getting some warnings in syslog about pulseaudio not having permission for high priority | 03:35 |
| dsf900 | Hilikus: what are you trying to do? | 03:36 |
| Hilikus | give higher priority/lower nicessness to pulseaudio | 03:36 |
| Hilikus | dsf900: this is what i get in syslog May 22 23:16:36 hilikus pulseaudio[19253]: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Failed to acquire high-priority scheduling: Permission denied | 03:36 |
| dsf900 | I haven't used the pulseaudio stuff very much | 03:37 |
| Hilikus | i'm running pulse as a user | 03:37 |
| dsf900 | it sounds like the program is trying to promote itself | 03:37 |
| dsf900 | So you should be able to just run it under an account with higher access | 03:37 |
| Hilikus | dsf900: do you know in general, where is the limit for nicessness for a process set? forget pulse | 03:37 |
| escott | Hilikus, i would look at the RT link. it should be the same set of files you would need to modify | 03:38 |
| dsf900 | I don't know how to set the limits for particular processes | 03:38 |
| dsf900 | I do know how to set the limits for users and groups | 03:38 |
| RealEyes | is this fstab right? | 03:38 |
| dsf900 | look at (I think) /etc/security/conf/limits.h | 03:38 |
| dsf900 | Or something like that | 03:38 |
| RealEyes | /dev/sda /mnt/MUSIC ntfs-3g user,auto,rw,sync 0 0 | 03:38 |
| dsf900 | errr.... | 03:38 |
| dsf900 | /etc/security/limits.conf maybe | 03:38 |
| dsf900 | You can see which groups/users have permission to set high (real-time) priorities | 03:39 |
| escott | RealEyes, use UUIDs run "sudo blkid" and set UUID=blahblahblah instead of /dev/sda | 03:39 |
| Hilikus | the weird think is that in my desktop, where PA runs with niceess -9, /etc/security/limits.conf has nothing for pulseaudio | 03:39 |
| Hilikus | but i'll try that | 03:40 |
| dsf900 | yeah, limits.conf I think only defines limits for users and groups | 03:40 |
| escott | Hilikus, -9 is probably allowed. maybe the limit kicks in at -10 or higher | 03:40 |
| dsf900 | The easy way to test it is to run pulseaudio with sudo | 03:40 |
| RealEyes | escott, Ive been having issues with downloading torrents to that disk | 03:40 |
| RealEyes | should i use 'async' | 03:40 |
| sifa | hoi | 03:40 |
| RealEyes | instead of sync? | 03:40 |
| dsf900 | But, be careful, any priority greater than zero will run with priority greater than that of the kernel | 03:41 |
| dsf900 | I.e. any of the real-time priorities | 03:41 |
| escott | RealEyes, don't know what sync does. | 03:41 |
| escott | RealEyes, in general the recommendation is to specify only those options you need and leave everything else to the defaults | 03:41 |
| dsf900 | So it's possible for software bugs to (almost) totally halt your system... there's a absolute cap by default, but it's something like 1% or 0.1% of total processing time | 03:42 |
| Malsasa | Hello, i wanna install application in Ubuntu from source. What should i prepare? | 03:42 |
| escott | dsf900, you have your priorities all wrong. default is 0 19 is lowest priority -20 is highest and one of those high priorities(maybe -20 or -21) is realtime | 03:43 |
| iceman | evening all | 03:43 |

| dsf900 | escott: on the API side, real-time priorities are guaranteed to be from something like 1 to 20, but typically linux supports 1 to 99 | 03:48 |
| === NoiseCounselling is now known as NoiseCounseling | ||
| dsf900 | all real-time priorities are positive, and any real-time priority takes precedence over any non-real-time process | 03:48 |
| escott | dsf900, ok im not too familiar with the rt side of things just the confusing "nice" levels | 03:49 |
| dsf900 | You're correct, in that lower nice values are higher priority | 03:49 |
| dsf900 | Yeah, honestly I'm not too familiar with the nice priorities | 03:49 |
| dsf900 | Different strokes for different folks, I suppose | 03:49 |
| escott | dsf900, -20 to 19 lower is higher, higher is lower, up is down, down is up, good is bad, bad is BAD | 03:50 |
| dsf900 | hah | 03:50 |
| dsf900 | I looked it up, POSIX requires that RT priorities 1-32 exist, but linux typically supports 1-99 | 03:51 |
| RealEyes | sync/async is what was messing it up | 03:52 |

| Dr_Willis | i just like weechat over irssi. | 04:06 |
| BlackWeb | For rtorrent then the configuration file does it just need to be copied to home directory as a hidden file .rtorrent.rc or is there a place for it on system | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis | weechat has moar features and newer design | 04:06 |
| SHOTbyGUN | I think all web irc clients have mystical keyboard shortcuts and long help files lol... so dunno =) | 04:07 |
| Dr_Willis | BlackWeb: most .files go in theusers home dir | 04:07 |
| SHOTbyGUN | text* | 04:07 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_Willis: debian's irssi factoid begins "irssi is probably the best <IRC> client ever." ;) | 04:07 |
| BlackWeb | Alright thanks I'll play with it somemore and see if i run into anything :) | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | i have to many issues with irssi.. and weecchat has several features that irssi is totally lacking. ;) | 04:08 |
| dasKreech | zykotick9: At least they are humble about it | 04:08 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Dr_Willis: ok I try text mode.. cya =) | 04:08 |
| hellhammer | daskreech : lsmod output is http://pastebin.com/2iXm53fD | 04:08 |
| BlackWeb | The IP option for rtorrent, Does that option work to mask your identity the person on the other end | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis | id get mor eout of weechat - if my android phone/keyboard worked more like a real keybord however. ;) i cant use some of the fancy key combos | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | BlackWeb: if you want the most security from torrenting, use a vpn/proxy servie. | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | service | 04:10 |
| BlackWeb | Alright, plus its looking like with rtorrent then its only good if you have the actual torrent file already downloaded then open it up | 04:11 |
| dasKreech | Dr_Willis: install the hackers keyboard | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | dasKreech: im using a real physical keyboard.. ;) | 04:11 |
| BlackWeb | Do where you still need elinks or gui to download the torrents still right | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | and i have the 'hackers keyboard for android' ;) | 04:11 |
| hellhammer | daskreech : lsmod output as requested http://pastebin.com/c966g0gv | 04:12 |
| dasKreech | Dr_Willis: must be pretty eleaborate commands then | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | dasKreech: alt-= oor the F keys.. just dont work correctly | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | so its a bit limiting. | 04:12 |
| dasKreech | hellhammer: Those are some strange IDs for the card in lshw. Do you know anything more about them ? | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | but it was a $80 Bt keyboard on sale for $13 | 04:12 |
| dasKreech | Dr_Willis: Rollable? | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | I bought all 3 they had on the clearance bin | 04:13 |
| neo_ | I found a vob file on a dvd disk and copied it to the desktop and cant play the vob file, I did check and I have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Motorolla brand, | 04:13 |
| zykotick9 | neo_: dvd support isn't in u-r-e | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | !dvd | 04:13 |
| zykotick9 | !dvd | neo_ | 04:13 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 04:13 |
| ubottu | neo_: please see above | 04:13 |
| hellhammer | daskreech : not really its a fresh install of ubuntu onto a new laptop | 04:14 |
| dasKreech | I have a USB ethernet controller that seems to be recognized by the pegasus driver but doesn't pick up a carrier signal. Anyone could help with that? | 04:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive been trying to rip some dvd's and the silly things have some bad-block sort of data protection scheme. really confused the dvd ripper apps. ;( | 04:14 |
| dasKreech | hellhammer: what model laptop? | 04:14 |
| neo_ | that is u-r-e? | 04:14 |
| neo_ | nevermind, | 04:14 |
| neo_ | where would I install to allow me to play the vob file? | 04:15 |
| dasKreech | neo_: Is that waht would you install? | 04:15 |
| hellhammer | daskreech : asus k53s | 04:15 |
| neo_ | Im able to play the dvd directly I just wanted a copy so I can play it on netbooks without needing an outlet to plug in an external dvd drive | 04:16 |
| bazhang | neo_, mplayer can play those ubuntu-restricted-extras is u-r-e | 04:18 |
| zykotick9 | bazhang: i'd think libdvdcss2 would be required... i certainly could be wrong | 04:18 |
| tga | hey, quick question, how can I resize the dock in unity-2d? | 04:19 |
| neo_ | mplayer is really messing up the video, its nearly all black and the audio is scattered | 04:19 |
| tga | I can´t find a straight answer online | 04:19 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest43259 | ||
| bazhang | zykotick9, ah, I thought he had a vob already | 04:20 |
| neo_ | I copyed the vob from the dvd to the desktop | 04:20 |
| neo_ | even vlc cant play it | 04:20 |
| zykotick9 | bazhang: they do. but i'd think that would still be "protected" (they said they copied it) | 04:20 |
| bazhang | zykotick9, then you're correct in the need for the libdvdcss2 from medibuntu, I suspect | 04:21 |
| neo_ | I did copy it, Id assume its still protected | 04:21 |
| bazhang | neo_, thats not the way to rip a dvd | 04:21 |
| lauratika | what is the channel for rhythmbox anyone? | 04:21 |
| neo_ | bazhang, I dont mind the vobs I just wanted to play it on devices that dont have dvd drives built in | 04:22 |
| bazhang | !alis | lauratika have a look | 04:22 |
| ubottu | lauratika have a look: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 04:22 |
| bazhang | neo_, then read the bot link about dvd above | 04:22 |
| neo_ | bazhang, is there a command to remove the protection? | 04:22 |
| Drecondius | Ok, I can get Ubuntu installed but after a quick install it drops me into a CLI where i check the nvidia xserver setting and see that the drivers are loaded but i can't run Xserver | 04:23 |
| Drecondius | Any Ideas? | 04:23 |
| neo_ | why dont I need to rip a dvd to play it directly? | 04:25 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Dr_Willis, the text mode didint launch anything... so I guess that Download updates on installation broke my ubuntu installation somehow :/ | 04:25 |
| Transhumanist | What is the recommended virtual machine app in Ubuntu? Someone told me yesterday and I forgot. | 04:26 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Dr_Willis: I am now on Live Ubutu mode so I guess I could try to downgrade kernel or something ? | 04:27 |
| Commodore1702 | Hey guys, I've got a video card driver issue with 10.10 | 04:27 |
| zykotick9 | Transhumanist: depends what you're doing really. Vbox is popular (but Oracle contaminated), KVM is really good but lacks 3d support. I've never tried xen. | 04:28 |
| Transhumanist | VirtualBox? | 04:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Commodore1702: 10.10 is no longer supported, it is EOL. please upgrade to a newer release | 04:28 |
| slipknot | hi i connect headphones bluetooth and its pairing bat i dont see the profile on pulse audio to switch it any idea ? | 04:28 |
| Drecondius | Transhumanist : Yup that's the one | 04:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !elo | Commodore1702 | 04:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !eol | Commodore1702 | 04:28 |
| ubottu | Commodore1702: 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 | 04:28 |
| Commodore1702 | I would, but I kind of have issues with Unity and the card is old enough to have been supported | 04:29 |
| Transhumanist | Awww man, I see - Oracle owns it now. Screw Oracle. Why did they have to consume Sun? :( Anyway, cheers guys. | 04:29 |
| Commodore1702 | Transhumanist: because Oracle saw profit in Sun | 04:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Commodore1702: the version you are running no longer receives security updates, it is *STRONGLY* recommended that you don't use it. if you need gnome-2, try downgrading to 10.04 which is an LTS release supported until April of 2013 | 04:30 |
| Transhumanist | More like they saw profit in Sun's copyrights and patents. | 04:30 |
| Transhumanist | ;) | 04:30 |
| Commodore1702 | DarwinSurvivor: Alright | 04:30 |
| Commodore1702 | let me reboot it and download 10.04 | 04:30 |
| Drecondius | hell i'm trying to get ANY distro to work but can't. so gl with that | 04:31 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Keyboard & Mouse not working 12.04LTS ... with latest updates... GRUB works and LIVE Ubuntu works... Any1 know how to fix the issue ? | 04:31 |
| tga | any takers on resizing the dock in unity-2d? | 04:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Commodore1702: the newer versions of ubuntu don't use much more resources that 10.04. if you don't like unity, there are also other DE's you can try like XFCE or LMDE which are more "traditional" in their design | 04:31 |
| dasKreech | hellhammer: Sems that those should just work | 04:31 |
| Transhumanist | as an aside, the current version, 12.04, is awesome and will be supported for the next 5 years (so.. 2017 I guess) | 04:31 |
| tga | also, how do you set the font size more than small/normal/big? | 04:31 |
| slipknot | hi i connect headphones bluetooth and its pairing bat i dont see the profile on pulse audio to switch it any idea ? | 04:31 |
| hellhammer | daskreech : explain please | 04:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Commodore1702: also, 12.04 is a special LTS that will be supported for *5* years, so no reinstalls required until 2017 :) | 04:32 |
| Commodore1702 | I'll upgrade then, I'll just try and downgrade gnome | 04:32 |
| tga | good though, using the current unity mess for 5 years straight | 04:32 |
| slipknot | hi i connect headphones bluetooth and its pairing bat i dont see the profile on sound preference to switch it any idea ? | 04:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Commodore1702: you won't be able to install gnome2 in the newer release, even its developers have dropped it. | 04:33 |
| Transhumanist | I like Unity. My last experience with Ubuntu was 8.04. It has improved a lot. | 04:33 |
| tga | unity is not ready for LTS imho | 04:33 |
| tga | they should do LTS when the system is ready, not on a schedule | 04:33 |
| bandit5432 | tga you can install gnome-tweak-tool for gnome i dont know if it will change the fonts in unity | 04:33 |
| tga | thanks | 04:33 |
| Commodore1702 | I prefer classig gnome, unity just makes it look too much like a mac and I dislike that strongly | 04:33 |
| hi117 | is oneiric the latest version of ubuntu? | 04:33 |
| tga | any idea about resizing the damn unity icons in 2d? | 04:33 |
| dasKreech | hellhammer: The asus k53s has a known and well documented working chipset. I'm not sure why it's not being initated | 04:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !patience | tga | 04:33 |
| ubottu | tga: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 04:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hi117: no, precise (12.04) is | 04:34 |
| tga | !donthavepatience | DarwinSurvivor | 04:34 |
| hi117 | ok... why does this wiki page not list it, oh well | 04:34 |
| hellhammer | daskreech : what are my options? | 04:34 |
| Transhumanist | tga: Then try reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. | 04:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tga: if you don't have enough patience to follow the irc guidelines, consider using a different support medium (wikis, forums, mailing lists, etc) | 04:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | histo: which wiki page? | 04:35 |
| Drecondius | O I just had an idea does 32bit versions not have the pita issues that x64 seems to be having? | 04:35 |
| dasKreech | hellhammer: Quite a bit I suppose. | 04:35 |
| bandit5432 | tga, https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/unity-launcher-change-size.html | 04:35 |
| dasKreech | Dr_Willis: ping. have a moment to help hellhammer with loading a network driver? I'm leaving in just a few minutes | 04:35 |
| tga | oh, awesome, my unity just become invisible | 04:35 |
| tga | itś still there, just invisible | 04:35 |
| Transhumanist | If you're having problems with 64-bit (most people run it fine) then definitely try 32-bit, as it may well solve your problems | 04:35 |
| tga | uhm, and my keyboard layout is different apparently | 04:36 |
| mickster04 | hey guys, 12.04 Quadro 570, two identical monitors and i can't dual screen...do you need any other info? | 04:36 |
| bandit5432 | tga, what app did you use to change? | 04:36 |
| tga | um none | 04:36 |
| tga | I was doing something else | 04:36 |
| Drecondius | here's the catch i still have to run the nomodeset paramater to get into gui or to install via alternate so ... | 04:36 |
| mickster04 | oh, it doesn't detect the second monitor | 04:36 |
| Transhumanist | mickster: using the ATI driver? | 04:36 |
| mickster04 | Transhumanist: well no seeing as it is nvidia :p | 04:36 |
| tga | funny, I can still use the buttons and menus, theyŕe just invisible | 04:36 |
| mickster04 | but i am using the nvidia driver | 04:36 |
| Transhumanist | Once I installed my ATI driver, dual monitors wouldn't work until I set them up in the ATI Catalyst Control Panel. Just a thought. | 04:37 |
| Drecondius | Mickster04: What version of Ubuntu are you using and is it 32 or 64bit | 04:37 |
| mickster04 | Drecondius: 64 | 04:37 |
| mickster04 | Drecondius: 12.04 | 04:37 |
| Drecondius | Pardon my language but how the hell did you get it to work? | 04:38 |
| bandit5432 | mickster04, have you tried nvidia-settings ? | 04:38 |
| Drecondius | i can't get into xserver | 04:38 |
| mickster04 | bandit5432: yeah, it doesn't even detect the second monitor | 04:38 |
| mickster04 | Drecondius: uhm...install and run...you do have a 64bit processor right ;p | 04:38 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Keyboard & Mouse not working 12.04LTS with fresh hard drive installation with latest updates... GRUB works and LIVE Ubuntu works... Any1 know how to fix the issue ? Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:c30e Logitech, Inc. UltraX Keyboard (Y-BL49) | 04:39 |
| Drecondius | mickster04: Yeah AMD FX 6200 | 04:39 |
| Dr_Willis | SHOTbyGUN: console dont work eh? | 04:39 |
| Drecondius | 16GB ram on an asus m5A97 mobo | 04:39 |
| Transhumanist | You could try uninstalling the nvidia driver and using the open source one. My guess is your dual monitor setup will work then. If it still doesn't, then I doubt the problem is with your driver. | 04:39 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Dr_Willis: text mode didint launch at all | 04:39 |
| mickster04 | demonspork: did you try using vesa drivers? | 04:39 |
| mickster04 | Drecondius: ^^ | 04:40 |
| Dr_Willis | SHOTbyGUN: thats weird. unless theeres some differnt options for 12.04 these days | 04:40 |
| mickster04 | demonspork: sorry, wrong nick | 04:40 |
| demonspork | mickster04: np | 04:40 |
| Drecondius | ummmm | 04:40 |
| Drecondius | Vesa? | 04:40 |
| Dr_Willis | SHOTbyGUN: how about the recovery/rescue modes? | 04:40 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Dr_Willis: recovery mode launched but the keyboard didint work when it wanted me to choose recovery launch option | 04:41 |
| Drecondius | how would I use the Vesa driver from cli | 04:41 |
| Drecondius | rather how would i uninstall the nvidia driver to install the vesa driver | 04:41 |
| dasKreech | hellhammer: try sudo modprobe ath9k | 04:41 |
| Dr_Willis | SHOTbyGUN: so on the menus of recovery/rescue mode. which use the console/text interface. they keybord did not work.. | 04:42 |
| Commodore1702 | good night guyd | 04:42 |
| mickster04 | Drecondius: try deleting /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:42 |
| Commodore1702 | guys* | 04:42 |
| Commodore1702 | +++ | 04:42 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Dr_Willis: yeah :/ so I think its latest kernel issue maybe ? | 04:42 |
| Drecondius | Oy, If it'll let me | 04:42 |
| Dr_Willis | SHOTbyGUN: pointing to some odd kernel/bios weirdness. | 04:42 |
| ryanturner | Any of you with 12.04 64bit use Spotify? I want to check if an error is reproducible for someone else. | 04:42 |
| Dr_Willis | SHOTbyGUN: as test. see if the bios has a 'legacy usb' setting. | 04:43 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Dr_Willis: yes it has... and it is enabled | 04:43 |
| Dr_Willis | SHOTbyGUN: tried it the other way? ;) onone pc i had. grub would only work with it on, (Or off, i dont recall( | 04:43 |
| peleh182 | \list | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | I have a whole box of PS2 keyboards. ;) | 04:44 |
| bandit5432 | mickster04, have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaMultiMonitors | 04:44 |
| zanecoy | \? | 04:44 |
| zanecoy | ? | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Multi Monitors work here great on mynvidia setip | 04:44 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Dr_Willis: well Grub works and I am currently on LTS 12.04 Live Ubuntu | 04:44 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Dr_Willis: so if live ubuntu works with legacy usb... and installation does not work... problem should be on latest updates right ? | 04:45 |
| Dr_Willis | SHOTbyGUN: i would wonder if its not some weird currupted install also. this is a totally fresh install. | 04:45 |
| Dr_Willis | SHOTbyGUN: or did some updates break it? | 04:45 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Dr_Willis: I had Download updates when installing option enabled | 04:46 |
| mickster04 | bandit5432: close, but it doesn't detect the monitor so doesn't show it as disabled :/ | 04:46 |
| Dr_Willis | SHOTbyGUN: Hmm. so its hard to tell what update did it.. and even if a new update fixed it..you cant really get the updates to intall with no way to enter any commands | 04:46 |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: well my foot will work fine when i kick your ass but it doesn't help matters :p I have not had an issue before :/ | 04:47 |
| ryanturner | I'm interested in getting started as a dev for Ubuntu, but am curious as to what I'm able to do: I've got experience in C and C++, python, PHP, and F90. Are most projects "open" based on that? | 04:47 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Dr_Willis: well I guess I try to do chroot and see if I can verify my kernel or something | 04:48 |
| Dr_Willis | SHOTbyGUN: if you chould chroot in, and install ssh. that would help trouble shooting out some. | 04:48 |
| Dr_Willis | SHOTbyGUN: then at least you could look at the logs and try to see any errors | 04:48 |
| bandit5432 | mickster04, does xrandr show 2 monitors connected? | 04:48 |
| Dr_Willis | and apply new upodates | 04:48 |
| Dr_Willis | updates | 04:48 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Dr_Willis: ok I try | 04:49 |
| SHOTbyGUN | !chroot | 04:49 |
| ubottu | A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 04:49 |
| Dr_Willis | SHOTbyGUN: only other thing i can think to try would be a reinsall without installing updates, if that workes right.. install ssh, then try installing updates to see if any break things.. | 04:49 |
| Dr_Willis | SHOTbyGUN: also see if any older kernels exist in the menus to test out | 04:50 |
| mickster04 | bandit5432: niet | 04:50 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Dr_Willis: no It had only one version ... but I try if I can somehow install older versions too :p | 04:51 |
| dsf900 | ryanturner: I think about getting into this sometimes too- as I understand it, most Ubuntu development is more maintnence of existing packages | 04:51 |
| bandit5432 | mickster04, are you using a custom xorg.conf? | 04:51 |
| mickster04 | bandit5432: i will reset it and return...hold on :) | 04:51 |
| Dr_Willis | SHOTbyGUN: only other thing i can thino of - is trying aidffernt usb ports. | 04:52 |
| dsf900 | ryanturner: I've thought more about finding some open-source project and trying to sign on with them | 04:52 |
| ryanturner | Any examples of things that are interesting? :P | 04:52 |
| dsf900 | ryanturner: and that open-source project gets incorporated into the ubutu mainstream eventually | 04:53 |
| Dr_Willis | dsf900: there is that 1000 papercuts project thst work on 'trivial' bug fixs and other polishing of details | 04:53 |
| dsf900 | ryanturner: I have no idea, what kinds of programming do you do? | 04:53 |
| ryanturner | What's unity made in? | 04:53 |
| ryanturner | I've mostly been a web guy, to be honest. Also got a bit of experience in working with microprocessors, image processing for motion tracking, and a tiny bit of interface | 04:53 |
| dsf900 | ryanturner: I also have no idea what kinds of projects need what kinds of people. | 04:54 |
| dsf900 | ryanturner: you could see if the GIMP needs people | 04:54 |
| ryanturner | GIMP could be interesting. Wish GIMP kicked ass and people would put it on par with Photoshop. | 04:54 |
| Dr_Willis | gimp always needs people. ;) its amazing how few people actually work on it. | 04:54 |
| dsf900 | ryanturner: I really don't know how much canonical wants people to mess around with Unity | 04:54 |
| dsf900 | and it's probably one of the more-used open source packages out there | 04:55 |
| ryanturner | I just wish it were more stable. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 for the first time, fresh, last night. | 04:55 |
| ryanturner | Had about 4 forced logouts to get unity back working. | 04:55 |
| dsf900 | frankly, I haven't upgraded because of unity | 04:55 |
| dsf900 | If I do, I'm probably going to have to find an alternative | 04:56 |
| mickster04 | bandit5432: no xorg.conf and it still doesn't detect | 04:56 |
| ryanturner | where it would magically hide the close/minimize/maximize buttons, not let me click at all, and one time it wouldn't let me show the unity bar after it hiding (had it set to auto-hide) | 04:56 |
| Dr_Willis | i just dove in and started using unity, with a few little tweaks.. and it works fine for me. | 04:56 |
| Dr_Willis | That HUD feature is niifty now that i rember its there.. | 04:56 |
| bandit5432 | mickster04, xrandr --verbose does not list any of you monitors? | 04:57 |
| ryanturner | I like unity. I like the features. I just haven't found it stable on 12.04 in my first 24 hours of use. | 04:57 |
| ryanturner | Dr_Willis, I havne't figured out how to use the HUD | 04:57 |
| dsf900 | I bet there's an IRC channel around here somewhere specifically for people interested in contributing to an open-source project | 04:57 |
| ryanturner | just gives me a "type your command" box | 04:57 |
| mickster04 | bandit5432: only one | 04:57 |
| bazhang | !alis | dsf900 ryanturner | 04:57 |
| ubottu | dsf900 ryanturner: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 04:57 |
| bandit5432 | mickster04, what card are you using and how are you connecting the monitors? | 04:57 |
| Dr_Willis | ryanturner: whats to figure out.. tap alt.. enter some searh string | 04:57 |
| mickster04 | bandit5432: both dvi in a quadro fx 570 | 04:58 |
| Dr_Willis | ryanturner: want the displays settings tool.. type 'dis' it shows it | 04:58 |
| mickster04 | it worked with the fallback version of gnome | 04:58 |
| ryanturner | Hows that any different from the dash search Dr_Willis ? | 04:58 |
| Dr_Willis | ryanturner: in gimp and can barely rember where a menu item is.. type alt, then its name | 04:58 |
| mickster04 | bandit5432: is unity causing it to fall over? | 04:58 |
| ryanturner | Ahhh | 04:58 |
| ryanturner | Ok, now I see value. | 04:58 |
| Dr_Willis | ryanturner: it does Menu items. not just apps | 04:58 |
| Dr_Willis | and it can do the earch across several 'areas' at a time | 04:59 |
| bandit5432 | mickster04, what happens when you choose unity when you login? | 04:59 |
| mickster04 | bandit5432: well it's the only option i have | 04:59 |
| Dr_Willis | i rarely use dash - hud is where i go first these days | 04:59 |
| mickster04 | i removed fall back though cos it too fell over (many panels started appearing) | 04:59 |
| bandit5432 | mickster04, so you are using unity or gnome-fallback? | 05:00 |
| mickster04 | bandit5432: unity | 05:00 |
| bandit5432 | mickster04, ok will look into it | 05:00 |
| mickster04 | bandit5432: i was merely trying to suggest that without unity it seemed to work... but unity doesn't seem to let me | 05:00 |
| bandit5432 | mickster04, if you want to use gnome-classic you have to install gnome-panel | 05:00 |
| mickster04 | bandit5432: is gnome panel the thing on the left? | 05:02 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| Dr_Willis | unity launcher is the left side vertical panel | 05:02 |
| mickster04 | ok | 05:03 |
| mickster04 | well basically i woul dhave been happy with the panels as they were | 05:03 |
| Dr_Willis | the askubuntu.com site had a nice thread on the proper names (With pictures) of all the parts of unity | 05:03 |
| mickster04 | i thought they were more customisable and it was tidier | 05:03 |
| Dr_Willis | if you want a more classic-old-skool type desktop, thers xubuntu, and lubuntu | 05:04 |
| mickster04 | i might just go there :/ | 05:04 |
| bandit5432 | mickster04, if you install gnome-panel it will give you the option to long in to gnome-classic from the login screnn | 05:04 |
| Dr_Willis | its amazing how much i rember people complaining about how uncustomizeable gnome2 was ;) | 05:04 |
| mickster04 | this isn't that pleasant, and i need two monitors really | 05:04 |
| bandit5432 | login' screen' | 05:04 |
| Dr_Willis | if X is not propoerly seeing both monitors, then the desktop/window manager wont matter. | 05:05 |
| === austnix is now known as the_misfit | ||
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: yeah | 05:06 |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: i wouldn't mind just knowing how to start debugging it | 05:06 |
| mickster04 | :/ | 05:06 |
| Dr_Willis | im not even sure what Nvidia card i got on this box. lspci just gives some id3 | 05:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Id # | 05:06 |
| bandit5432 | mickster04, have you tried looking in the xorg logs? | 05:06 |
| mickster04 | where are they? | 05:06 |
| tsukasa_ | hey | 05:07 |
| bandit5432 | /var/log/Xorg.0/log | 05:07 |
| Dr_Willis | All ive done in the past to get Multi displays going was install 'nvidia-current' reboot, run 'gksudo nvidia-settings' and save the xorg.conf | 05:07 |
| tsukasa_ | need help: i'm booting from liveusb and after the log loads stuff for sdb it freezes | 05:07 |
| Dr_Willis | then restart X server | 05:07 |
| tsukasa_ | i have tried ubuntu liveusb and a different ubuntu based usb install | 05:07 |
| tsukasa_ | created with unetbootin | 05:08 |
| Dr_Willis | mickster04: is this a laptop? ordesktop | 05:08 |
| Dr_Willis | or desktop | 05:08 |
| tsukasa_ | sda and sdb are disk drives, the advanced drive thing is turned on in the bios | 05:08 |
| bandit5432 | Dr_Willis ty i dont have dual monitors so this is out of my league | 05:08 |
| tsukasa_ | if i switch it to ide it has different messages but still freezes | 05:08 |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: tower :) dell t3400 | 05:08 |
| Dr_Willis | mickster04: well i was going to suggest trying the fn- keys if it was a laptop... | 05:09 |
| tsukasa_ | anyone have an idea? | 05:09 |
| Dr_Willis | mickster04: both omnitors plugged into the same card? or 2 differnt cards? | 05:09 |
| tsukasa_ | i would really like to have an ubuntu installation on my laptop | 05:09 |
| tsukasa_ | i can't even boot from liveusb though | 05:09 |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: just the one card | 05:09 |
| ryanturner | what does SD_ stand for? | 05:09 |
| Dr_Willis | mickster04: both were plugged in and turned on when the pc powered up from a powered down state? | 05:10 |
| * Dr_Willis is rembering all these quirks hes had in the past with 2 monitor setups | 05:10 | |
| mickster04 | yeah | 05:10 |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: hum..the logs only seem to see the one monitor | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | does the BIOS appear on one or both monitors? | 05:11 |
| mickster04 | hangon, gonna switchthe cables around | 05:11 |
| bandit5432 | i need to use dual monitors to have these problems | 05:11 |
| ryanturner | SDA = SCSI Drive A? | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | i was going to joke about the dog chewing on the cables earlier.. ;) | 05:11 |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: i'll let you know when i reboot next | 05:11 |
| bandit5432 | osi model always check hardware first .. i always check it last | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | step 2.3.1 - look for teeth mark on the cables.. be it dog, or toddler... | 05:12 |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: will i just swapped the cabeles around and now the monitors have switched, so the cables are fine | 05:12 |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: the second monitor got plugged in and said 'no signal' | 05:13 |
| mickster04 | so it's getting something | 05:13 |
| Dr_Willis | mickster04: as a test. try unpluggint eh one that works.. and see if the other one kicks in when you reboot. | 05:13 |
| mickster04 | just not anything useful | 05:13 |
| mickster04 | ok | 05:13 |
| mickster04 | brb | 05:13 |
| bandit5432 | i have been having edid problems with nvidia this week so i have been a little iritated about that | 05:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Mine said no signal UNtil i ran the nvidia-settings tool and enabled it.. | 05:13 |
| bandit5432 | thats what i linked him 2 | 05:13 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Dr_Willis: I got chroot working and installing million updates... but it kept back my kernel -23 | 05:14 |
| Dr_Willis | SHOTbyGUN: try a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 05:14 |
| Bsims | what is the best way to read a ext3 fs from winodws | 05:15 |
| SHOTbyGUN | ok :p | 05:15 |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: well i did that and now we're on the other screen | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | mickster04: that basically shows its not hardware. ;) | 05:16 |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: i concur | 05:16 |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: a good test non the less | 05:16 |
| Dr_Willis | mickster04: iw the unplugged monittor hdmi? or dvi? or vga? | 05:16 |
| mickster04 | they're both dvi | 05:16 |
| mickster04 | AHA | 05:16 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Dr_Willis I think I know what caused my system FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.2.0-24-generic/modules.dep: No such file or directory | 05:16 |
| SHOTbyGUN | FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.2.0-24-generic/modules.dep: No such file or directory | 05:16 |
| mickster04 | i just ran a detect | 05:16 |
| SHOTbyGUN | I think my kernel upgrade was interrupted while installing / downloading same time | 05:16 |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: and now it sees it | 05:16 |
| mickster04 | ! | 05:16 |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: your test 'fixed' it :D | 05:17 |
| Dr_Willis | mickster04: im thinking you may have had a loose cable earlier | 05:17 |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: maybe :) | 05:17 |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: eitherway thanks for your pateince | 05:17 |
| mickster04 | (sp) | 05:17 |
| * Dr_Willis hands mickster04 some glue | 05:17 | |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: it may have also helped that i plugged it in once booted then re-detected | 05:18 |
| mickster04 | :D | 05:18 |
| * mickster04 goes screws some srews | 05:18 | |
| bandit5432 | Bsims, have you looked into http://www.ext2fsd.com/ i have never used it | 05:18 |
| Bsims | SHOTbyGUN: try apt-get install --reinstall on your kernel package | 05:18 |
| SHOTbyGUN | Errors were encountered while processing: | 05:18 |

| SHOTbyGUN | oh shit... Do I need to reinstall everything ? | 05:18 |
| bandit5432 | good call Dr_Willis | 05:19 |
| Dr_Willis | seems you got some deeper issues SHOTbyGUN ;() | 05:19 |
| SHOTbyGUN | hmm... maybe my usb stick is corrupt or something :/ | 05:19 |
| Dr_Willis | in theory you should be able to reinstall all the kernel files. | 05:19 |
| Dr_Willis | but often apt gets stubborn | 05:20 |
| Bsims | bandit5432: no using disk internals to copy it, but don't wan't windows to mess up the metadata | 05:20 |
| Bsims | SHOTbyGUN: failing that try dpkg -i to reinstall it | 05:20 |
| bandit5432 | Bsims, i copy things from my ext4 to a ntfs partition all the time but never the other way | 05:21 |
| Bsims | bandit5432: heh diskinternals linux reader is good for that... and it doesn't write to linux so no chance of corruption | 05:21 |

| === xubuntu is now known as Guest54932 | ||
| cc20 | like is it like windows equivalent.. | 05:24 |
| ryanturner | It's an OS :) | 05:24 |
| bandit5432 | Bsims, so why not copy what you need to the ntfs partition and use it from there? | 05:24 |
| ryanturner | so in that sense! cc20 what do you primarily do? | 05:24 |
| Bsims | bandit5432: heh yeah but I've been Linux only from 2000 | 05:25 |
| cc20 | so is it taking over windows 7 | 05:25 |
| ryanturner | Probably not. | 05:25 |
| cc20 | and the next best thing? | 05:25 |
| Bsims | bandit thats mostly what I do, but my media drive is a full tb lol | 05:25 |
| ryanturner | But with Windows 8 rolling up, Ubuntu is claiming more and more market share. | 05:25 |
| cc20 | really? | 05:25 |
| cc20 | can i install ubuntu on the same drive as windows 7 is there a problem with that | 05:25 |
| bandit5432 | Bsims, ouch that would not work have you looked at the Ext2Fsd Project | 05:26 |

| newbie | ryanturner, rsync is for syncrhronisation i think. i just need to copy files. should i remote login. how? | 05:43 |
| Bsims | newbie: Oh if you do a lot of remote access over ssh it is very muchly worth your while to install gnu screen | 05:43 |

| newbie | ryanturner, Dr_Willis scp is? | 05:46 |
| === deejay31|Offline is now known as deejay31 | ||
| michaela | regular | 05:47 |
| Dr_Willis | 'ssh copy' | 05:47 |
| nine_ | hmm | 05:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !ssh | 05:47 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 05:47 |
| nine_ | fully updated? | 05:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !scp | 05:47 |
| ubottu | scp is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 05:47 |
| ryanturner | lol what Dr_Willis | 05:47 |
| michaela | ill try on another user | 05:47 |

| newbie | ryanturner, Dr_Willis and if i want a permanent file sharing thing like windows has. i need samba? even for linux files sharing.. you know the click drag and drop | 05:47 |
| nine_ | yea cause UI can not get the same results mine work fine | 05:47 |
| ryanturner | newbie use Samba. Samba is nice :) | 05:48 |
| deejay31 | I have ZNC running on my server, and my VPS has multiple IPS and the adaptors are called venet0 venet0:1 venet0:2 how can I make ZNC connect through 1 of these | 05:48 |
| Dr_Willis | newbie: sshfs can mount a remote box locally.as a simple way tohave a 'share' or you canuse samba,or nfs, | 05:48 |
| nine_ | nubie | 05:48 |
| ryanturner | and quit changing your demands lol | 05:48 |
| Dr_Willis | samba canbe a royal pain | 05:48 |
| nine_ | fine ur public folder in ur files | 05:48 |
| nine_ | go to properties | 05:48 |
| nine_ | share | 05:49 |
| ryanturner | Doesnt the built in Personal File Sharing ui use samba? | 05:49 |
| nine_ | it wiill prompt u to symba and the lib file | 05:49 |
| Dr_Willis | ryanturner: yep. and sometimes it even works! | 05:49 |
| ryanturner | :< | 05:49 |
| ryanturner | wasn't aware of the problems lol | 05:49 |
| Dr_Willis | i have major issues with samba shares not showing up on my homenetwork. unless i enter their name/ip#'s directly | 05:49 |
| newbie | Dr_Willis, ryanturner thanks ! | 05:49 |
| ryanturner | though I have had random samba problems just generally. | 05:49 |
| Dr_Willis | seems every year. samba gets flakier and flakier | 05:50 |
| nine_ | lol | 05:50 |
| ryanturner | newbie, no problem! Just install samba via software center and then use the "Personal File Sharing" dialog to get a setup going. Cross your fingers (and toes)! | 05:50 |
| nine_ | install the ay I do | 05:50 |
| nine_ | it is recommended | 05:50 |
| nine_ | I have no simba issues | 05:50 |
| newbie | ryanturner, ok :) | 05:50 |
| nine_ | :) | 05:50 |
| Dr_Willis | very mixed lan here, and it seems the boxeebox is the only thing thats seems to see ALL my shares with any reliability. | 05:50 |
| Bsims | Dr_Willis: heh has to be bug compatable with windows | 05:51 |
| deejay31 | Dr_Willis, I have ZNC running on my server, and my VPS has multiple IPS and the adaptors are called venet0 venet0:1 venet0:2 how can I make ZNC connect through 1 of these | 05:51 |
| ryanturner | Dr_Willis, at my last job they had major samba and LDAP | 05:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive had Win7 box;s not see other win 7 box's xp not see win7 box 1, but sees 2. and so forth | 05:51 |
| ryanturner | LDAP blew up and things went very, very badly for about a month. | 05:51 |
| ryanturner | But thats what happens when you fire your windows AND linux guy at the same time who are in charge of ldap/ad | 05:52 |
| Dr_Willis | if i use the ip# or server name directoy and dont browse for the samba shares - then they all work.. but not 'browseable' or seen when scanning | 05:52 |
| ryanturner | next guy to come in had no idea what was going on. | 05:52 |
| * Bsims grins I still got a Novell 5.0 box | 05:52 | |

| Tm_T | ryanturner: this is wrong channel for such "laughs", so please stick in channel topic | 06:12 |

| SHOTbyGUN | Bsims: thanks | 06:13 |
| Bsims | this is a ground zero approach | 06:13 |
| Bsims | it will make a list of every package you have and reinstall it | 06:13 |
| SHOTbyGUN | thats what I wanted | 06:13 |
| SHOTbyGUN | I have lot and lot of dependency problems | 06:14 |
| ryanturner | Tm_T: Ok. | 06:14 |
| Bsims | heh this will most likely fix it | 06:14 |
| Bsims | SHOTbyGUN: try sudo apt-get install -f first though | 06:14 |
| SHOTbyGUN | ok :o | 06:14 |
| Bsims | by itself to tell it try to fix itself | 06:14 |
| SHOTbyGUN | apt is already the newest version | 06:15 |
| newbie | iam quite new at this . is there a tutorail | 06:16 |
| * Bsims grins SHOTbyGUN thats all it says? try an apt-get update apt-get upgrade | 06:17 | |

| Bsims | no errors? | 06:17 |
| SHOTbyGUN | no errors... everything is fine | 06:17 |
| Bsims | then as far as apt is concernend its working fine | 06:18 |
| SHOTbyGUN | but if you try to install something ... everything is not fine | 06:18 |
| Bsims | ah worst case let it grind and do the reisntall dance I linked to | 06:18 |
| SHOTbyGUN | apt works... but my installation did not go as planned... I think | 06:18 |
| SHOTbyGUN | yeah... lets hope It works =) | 06:19 |
| newbie | Bsims, do i need to install samba on both machine | 06:19 |
| newbie | s | 06:19 |
| * Bsims nods... though it probably would be faster to download the disks and do a md5 checksum and burn it and reinstall | 06:19 | |
| ryanturner | newbie not unless you're trying to create two separate shares on each machine | 06:19 |
| ryanturner | if you simply want to share one folder between the two machines, then just install Samba on whatever computer you want it stored on, and then use cifs to mount it | 06:19 |
| Bsims | but this way you get to learn the its dead jim method of cyber necromancy | 06:20 |

| Shalomony | How can i force ubuntu 12.04 to put my DVD in a dev path? | 06:59 |
| dr_willis | Shalomony: see if its /dev/sr0 | 06:59 |
| Drecondius | DarwinSurvivor: That's the only way i can get a semi workable installation going. "Failed to load device in PCI 1.0.0" or something to that nature | 06:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | codeshepherd: sorry, I haven't used ubuntu on my server for a while now, only my desktops and some laptops have it currently. | 07:00 |
| Drecondius | ERRRRR | 07:00 |
| codeshepherd | ok DarwinSurvivor | 07:00 |
| dr_willis | Shalomony: theres as bug that makes it not show up as /dev/dvd like it should. but /dev/sr0 works here | 07:00 |
| kuai410022283 | nnnnnd | 07:00 |

| Shalomony | dr_willis, how can i check that, I'm dumb | 07:00 |
| dr_willis | Shalomony: how are you trying to access the dvd? | 07:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Drecondius: what video card is it? | 07:00 |
| Drecondius | DarwinSurvivor: Geforce GTX 550ti | 07:01 |
| Sargun-Work | Why wont ubuntu let you do bonding + DHCP? | 07:01 |
| Drecondius | does the same thing though with a GTS 250 though | 07:01 |
| Shalomony | I'm just trying to play it, but it's not mounting properly, non of my programs recognize a disc. VLC says there IS no device @ /dev/sr0 | 07:01 |
| dr_willis | Shalomony: it could be its /dev/sdX also where X is a, b, c, d, e | 07:02 |

| Chuck_Norris | i meant what is the driver you are using Drecondius ? | 07:04 |
| Shalomony | I can load the disc in VLC, but there's got to be a way for me to fix the mounting. It used to work great in 10.04 | 07:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Drecondius: also, does switching to a TTY interface work? | 07:04 |
| Drecondius | umm tty being cli right? | 07:04 |

| Shalomony | dr_willis, Also I cannot get ANY of those /dev/srX/ to work, but i'm only down to p | 07:05 |
| Drecondius | as for the driver Chuck_Norris, it's whatever restricted driver ubuntu downloaded and installed | 07:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Shalomony: could you pastebin the output of "ls /dev/"? | 07:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Drecondius: when did it download and install it? | 07:06 |
| Drecondius | Right now as a matter of fact | 07:06 |
| Drecondius | My installation just finished for x'th time | 07:06 |
| dr_willis | Shalomony: no idea then. i just pop in a dvd movie. and point vlc to /dev/sr0 here, or /dev/sdd on my other box | 07:06 |
| Chuck_Norris | Drecondius: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/nvidia ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 07:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Drecondius: ubuntu will not automatically install the binary video card drivers, that must be done manually (either via cli or the "restricted drivers" tool in the GUI) | 07:07 |
| Chuck_Norris | Drecondius: with that solved | 07:07 |
| Chuck_Norris | for sure | 07:07 |

| Fat-Thing | im pissed off on my distro now :( i got this lag thingy i dunno why....it just happend today....why do i get this lag thingy? | 07:08 |
| Fat-Thing | fidel lag .... from opening a youtube video it stucked and in slowmotion even in opening a folder or a application...everything in slowmotion or get stucked for about 20seconds | 07:08 |
| Chuck_Norris | upubuntu guys is the same like webupd8 and omgubuntu | 07:09 |

| ImperialDroid | So, when you restart the machine and try using just youtube by itself it still lags? | 07:10 |
| Chuck_Norris | the official package that come with ubuntu has bugs, nividia report that the 295.40 driver has errors | 07:10 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Chuck_Norris: then they should be moved to the official repositories. If they haven't already, there is probably a good REASON why they haven't | 07:10 |
| Chuck_Norris | with upubuntu PPA you will be able to install 295.53 that works very well for me | 07:11 |
| bazhang | Chuck_Norris, ppa are not supported. no reason to recommend them here | 07:11 |
| Drecondius | that's the newest one out | 07:11 |
| Drecondius | as of wed | 07:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Chuck_Norris: it may work for you, but PPA's are not supposed to be recommended in the #ubuntu channel. If you want them added to the repositories, send a request to the packaging team | 07:11 |
| Drecondius | DarwinSurvivor: I understand your concern but at this point I'm about ready to start sacraficing gnomes to please whatever delights in such misery :D | 07:12 |

| DarwinSurvivor | Drecondius: go with the wiki page, that is the *official* installation method. I've seen way too many people hose their systems by following how-to's on peoples' blogs | 07:14 |

| === me is now known as Guest19105 | ||
| Shalomony | DarwinSurvivor, The output of me "ls /dev/" is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002496/ | 07:15 |
| khayyim | DarwinSurvivor: nope | 07:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Shalomony: hmm, it appears that you *do* have sr0, dvd and dvdrw. did you run that command with a disk in the drive or without? | 07:16 |
| Drecondius | To lighten the mood I've hosed mine at least 10 different times today :) | 07:16 |
| Drecondius | You can never learn your limits if you don't break something lol | 07:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | khayyim: ok, try "killall -s 9 xfce4-panel" | 07:16 |
| dr_willis | Shalomony: you did instasll the proper packages to enabled dvd playback? | 07:16 |
| Shalomony | darwinsurvivor, disc in the drive | 07:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Shalomony: ok, can you try it again without a disk in the drive? | 07:17 |
| khayyim | woop woop | 07:17 |
| khayyim | DarwinSurvivor: Looks like that did it. Why doesn't htop kill it but killall does? | 07:17 |
| jay__ | don't do drugs | 07:17 |
| Shalomony | darwinSurvivor, sure thing dr_willis, I've downloaded every approved package from Canonical | 07:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | khayyim: because you used signal 9 which tells the kernel "kill at all costs" whereas using the default 15 just says "ask it do close" | 07:18 |
| Shalomony | for dvd playback... | 07:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | khayyim: if you need to use signal 9 in htop, hit F9, then 9, then enter | 07:18 |
| Drecondius | DarwinSurvivor: I can't do half of what the wiki is telling me because they require X to actually be running. | 07:18 |
| khayyim | DarwinSurvivor: See, I was using both 15 and 9 in htop | 07:18 |
| dr_willis | Shalomony: you followed the directions at the how to play dvd wiki page and ran that css installer script? | 07:18 |
| khayyim | DarwinSurvivor: Anyway, thanks; worked like a charm | 07:19 |
| Chuck_Norris | Drecondius: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 07:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Drecondius: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Installation_without_X_.2BAC8_from_the_console | 07:19 |
| Shalomony | dr_willis, yes but that only allowed for me to play them slightly. I still have problems almost everytime i try to ACTUALLY play the disc. | 07:19 |
| Drecondius | back in a few | 07:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Drecondius: or go with Chuck_Norris's one (simpler) | 07:20 |
| Shalomony | DarwinSurvivor, here's is the output with NO disc in drive, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002501/ | 07:20 |

| dr_willis | slightly? | 07:20 |
| Chuck_Norris | with that, you will install nvidia 295.40 thats has some bugs, you will notice when you are playing games or seeing video on youtube | 07:20 |
| c-risk | However, I dont understand the press esc key workaround | 07:20 |
| Drecondius | I'm just worried about actually being able to boot to desktop without having to use the acpi=off boot param. | 07:21 |
| Shalomony | dr_willis, yes it will say there's a dvd on the unity bar, but every program has trouble running it. VLC mplayer, etc all give me some kind of error. | 07:21 |
| Drecondius | without it i am stuck in tty with it i have no kb and mouse and usb | 07:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Shalomony: hmm, same thing. Have you tested the dvd drive in any other OS (even another version/release of ubuntu)? | 07:22 |
| dr_willis | Shalomony: run vlc from a terminal. have it play the dvd.. look for error messages | 07:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Shalomony: have you tried other disks...? | 07:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Shalomony: could very well be a dirty/scratched/fubar'd disk | 07:22 |
| Shalomony | DarwinSurvivor, not yet, i was thinking about getting rid of 12.04 and going back to 10.04, disc is brand new | 07:23 |
| c-risk | my problem is that I dont understand when to press ESC in that workaround. | 07:24 |
| Chuck_Norris | Drewch: oh! i misunderstood your problem =P | 07:24 |
| Chuck_Norris | sorry, i am from Argentina, english is not mah naturally language -.- | 07:24 |
| Shalomony | dr_willis: when i ran VLC in the terminal, it's no longer mounting the disc properly again. It does this once every couple of times i put a disc in | 07:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Shalomony: well, try another disk, I've seen people get brand-new (store bought) disks that were doa | 07:27 |
| lewellyn | when i have multiple video cards installed, the boot process comes up on the wrong screen. how can i make it come up on the same screen as POST? | 07:27 |
| === Troller- is now known as Troller | ||
| dr_willis | ive also seen new Video disks thathave this lame copy protection stuff on them. 'bad' sectors that can confuse computers ;( | 07:27 |
| dr_willis | lewellyn: mmine shows on the same monitor..untill X starts up | 07:28 |
| Shalomony | dr_willis: that might make sense, the disc works fine in standard DVD players, or consoles, but not my poor ubuntu laptop. | 07:29 |
| dr_willis | the lightdm shows up on the monitor i set as my primary display | 07:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Shalomony: check the back of the case, see if there are any copy-protection warnings | 07:29 |
| dr_willis | Shalomony: what movie is it? just bought the disk? | 07:29 |
| krababbel | lewellyn: BIOS has a setting | 07:29 |
| lewellyn | krababbel: POST and the int | 07:29 |
| krababbel | lewellyn: oh, maybe not | 07:30 |
| lewellyn | grr | 07:30 |
| Shalomony | it's doctor who season 6. But now it's not mounting the disc at all.... | 07:30 |
| lewellyn | krababbel: POST and the alternate installer were fine | 07:30 |
| dr_willis | all the DVD's ive bought recently seem to be doing that copy stuff.. hasent really stopped me however.. | 07:30 |
| lewellyn | krababbel: it's the installed system that's unhappy | 07:30 |
| krababbel | hey, that should be possible, I don't know how, maybe take one out, so ubuntu takes the other one at boot | 07:30 |
| krababbel | then put it back in | 07:31 |
| Chuck_Norris | Shalomony: sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 libdvdcss2 | 07:31 |
| lewellyn | i can't put the card into a running system :;/ | 07:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lewellyn: no, just the display (hdmi/dvi/whatever plug) | 07:31 |
| bazhang | Chuck_Norris, did you have him add the medibuntu repos for that? | 07:31 |
| Shalomony | chuck_norris: done that, that just allowed it to work partially. I think 12.04 is having an auto-mounting issue right now | 07:31 |
| lewellyn | DarwinSurvivor: doesn't work. | 07:31 |
| ndee | how can I monitor a directory and all it's subdirectory for a file change? So, as soon as a file is changed, it should show up in a log or somewhere. | 07:32 |
| wjorgew | chuck nurris itś great | 07:32 |
| lewellyn | it's initializing a port that doesn't have a monitor attached, which is why i couldn't figure it out for hours | 07:32 |
| krababbel | lewellyn: a port, or the whole card? could be it always takes the card in the 'main' pci-e slot | 07:33 |
| ads_ | i want to stop tomcat | 07:33 |
| lewellyn | krababbel: the boot process is using a plain ol pci card instead | 07:33 |
| ads_ | what shud i run command | 07:33 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ndee: look into inotify | 07:33 |
| Shalomony | DarwinSurvivor: It just got standard don't "reproduce,distribute, or exhibit" that's on all dvd cases | 07:33 |
| lewellyn | bios is set to use the pci-e, and that's how i installed with the alternate installer | 07:33 |
| ndee | DarwinSurvivor, sweet, thanks | 07:34 |
| Chuck_Norris | Shalomony: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 07:34 |
| lewellyn | and, for fun, the boot process is using the vga port, not the digital port, on the pci card | 07:34 |
| lewellyn | (yes, this is a very specific card and monitor combo. no, i can't plug the monitor into the pci-e card.) | 07:34 |
| Shalomony | Chuck_norris: I've done ALL of that, you are very good at googling aren't you... | 07:34 |
| Chuck_Norris | xD i know that about 4 or 5 years ago noob | 07:35 |
| Chuck_Norris | Shalomony: sudo -E wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update | 07:35 |
| Shalomony | I've done that.... | 07:35 |
| Chuck_Norris | and i did: aptitude search lidvd for that | 07:36 |
| Drecondius | Ok, now this is beginning to get on my last nerve. The driver is nvidia-current. It's failing to open my gpu. but when i boot with the acpi=off paramater it runs the gpu fine i just lose all my usb support | 07:36 |
| Chuck_Norris | Shalomony: uname -i | 07:36 |
| Drecondius | Is there some kind of work around for acpi that i can use that doesn't involve turning it all off? | 07:37 |
| Shalomony | Chuck_Norris: i386... | 07:38 |
| ndee | DarwinSurvivor, when I watch a directory recursively, I only see the directory that are accessed but not the files itself. In the manpage, I can't find anything to output the filenames, is that even possible? | 07:39 |
| Chuck_Norris | Shalomony: can you paste the error that yo got when trying to mount dvd | 07:40 |
| Chuck_Norris | or an image it ok as you like | 07:40 |

| ill1cit | chuck norris knows too bad he wont tell you | 07:42 |
| Shalomony | Chuck_norris: I'm not getting an error when it won't mount, it just won't mount. I don't WANT to manually mount it.... | 07:42 |
| krababbel | lewellyn: you could ask in #grub | 07:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ndee: not sure, never used it directly, just know that some multimedia and backup tools use it (mediatomb for instance) | 07:42 |
| * lewellyn shudders | 07:42 | |
| bazhang | ill1cit, stop that | 07:42 |
| krababbel | they're nice | 07:42 |

| ill1cit | mmkay | 07:42 |
| Shalomony | thanks for all the help yall, But i'm just going back to using 10.04... I liked it MUCH more | 07:43 |

| Shalomony | Chuck_norris: It automounts into the media folder, half the time. the other half it just doesn't work at all. I figure if i manually mount it through the terminal, I'll get many more problems | 07:45 |

| DarwinSurvivor | akaariai: could be, but I don't use it, so you'll have to ask someone else | 08:01 |

| Darael | frogzoo: The machines I've upgraded where nothing went wrong were really smooth. I had two or three have power drop out or similar midway through, though, and that was painful. | 10:02 |
| ejo | I will try moving all windows back onto a single workspace and then hibernating... will see if that works. | 10:03 |
| fidel_ | frogzoo: upgrades from 11.10 to 12.04 worked pretty good according to what i hhave heard. but to avoid issues - do as you should do always: to backup first | 10:03 |
| ejo | ... nope still no hibernate. Well I'll try re-doing the steps to enable hibernation. | 10:03 |

| Darael | Is there a known issue with multiple keyboard layouts after upgrade to precise? Because I'm having trouble on about four different machines. Each account is stuck in its default layout from pre-upgrade - others are selectable in the indicator, but doing so has no effect. My extra options (such as caps-lock as backspace) seem to have stopped, too. | 10:09 |

| Iszak | How do I create an archive through the command line with 256 bit encryption? preferably zip. | 10:45 |
| Iszak | or rather an archive that is password protected with 256 bit encrypted | 10:45 |
| Wobbo__ | But it works normal before (as in "Classic" 11.04), now it works only in "Classic (No effect)". | 10:45 |
| escott | Iszak, you can use gpg to encrypt the zip archive after you make it (either symmetrically or with a keypair) | 10:45 |
| Iszak | escott: I can't use that, it should be compatible with win zip 9 | 10:46 |
| Fat-Thing | i got a problem with my ubuntu 10.04....everytime i watch youtube it freezes for about less than 2mins just the video but the sound still works.....and i can't click anything when it happens any solution for this? | 10:46 |
| sary | MK_3: there is no error from the output .. | 10:46 |
| sary | Fat-Thing: using adobe flash player ! | 10:47 |
| escott | Iszak, zipcloak? | 10:47 |
| Iszak | escott: | 10:47 |
| Iszak | mist ell, having a look | 10:47 |
| escott | Iszak, i really wonder what 256bit means in this context are you really going to have a 42 character password? | 10:48 |
| Fat-Thing | sary i got adobe flash installed already sir | 10:48 |
| Iszak | escott: basically the requirement is "For security the file should be zipped up using winzip 9, password protected with 256bit encryption, using a BT policy password (min 8 characters, numbers, letters and different case as a minimum)" | 10:48 |
| MK_3 | "-_- | 10:48 |
| escott | Iszak, so 256bit is a fancy way of pretending you have more security than you do. thats what i figured | 10:49 |
| Iszak | ha | 10:49 |
| Iszak | so what to do in this case then? | 10:49 |
| openvoid_ | Iszak, use 7za - it have best password encryption compared to others | 10:50 |
| sary | Fat-Thing: Sure you do , dump that and use html5 instead then see if the issue present | 10:50 |
| Iszak | openvoid_: is it compatible with win zip 9? | 10:50 |
| openvoid_ | Iszak, not sure | 10:50 |
| Fat-Thing | sir sary tell me how can i get html5? any links i could read on!? | 10:50 |
| Iszak | okay thanks | 10:50 |
| Iszak | openvoid_: is that part of p7zip? | 10:51 |
| sary | Fat-Thing: am not a sir , please stop calling me that :) .. sure which browser you're using. | 10:51 |
| escott | Iszak, i'm just commenting on the fact that 256bit means a block size of 256bits (a cipher like AES can use a block size like this) you true key is the password which is 8 characters from a space of ~64 possibilities so its really 64^8=2^48 so its only 48bit encryption. | 10:51 |
| Iszak | escott: 8 is the min, I could make it higher if I wanted to. | 10:52 |
| Fat-Thing | oOps sorry sir...grrr....i'm using chrome | 10:52 |
| escott | Iszak, but you aren't going to use 42 characters. its big jump from 48bit to a true 256bit key | 10:52 |
| Iszak | escott: i can if I want to - I'm not limited on what the password is. | 10:53 |
| sary | Fat-Thing: i use Chromuim and i don't have to install any extension for html5 to stream videos in youtube. | 10:53 |

| Markus__ | hi | 11:17 |
| escott | !checkinstall | krad | 11:18 |
| ubottu | krad: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 11:18 |
| escott | stueng, i doubt you can | 11:18 |
| bibi23 | escott: yes that's true, I don't remember how the lock file is deleted with this method, but that's something I saw in a company and it looked to be working | 11:18 |

| nyuszika7h | zizoo: Apparently password authentication is still enabled. | 11:56 |
| randomDude | Mitchell_M: there is special declarations you must insert into the .desktop file | 11:57 |
| Snowcrash | LjL: That seems reasonable, but I can't locat the appropriate sda's. | 11:57 |
| gry | Snowcrash: I don't understand the question; I'm running ubuntu+windows dual boot and when I boot into Ubuntu, nothing auto mounts for me | 11:57 |
| Mitchell_M | randomDude: Do you know what it might be? | 11:57 |
| nyuszika7h | zizoo: Is the line 'PasswordAuthentication no' (without quotes) in /etc/ssh/sshd_config ? | 11:57 |
| LjL | Snowcrash: "blkid" might give you hints on which one is the correct one | 11:57 |
| vlt | Mitchell_M: Create an Icon manuallyand then look at the .desktop file it created. | 11:57 |
| Snowcrash | gry: Sometimes, I can access the '212GB Filesystem' from the placed menu. | 11:57 |
| Snowcrash | gry: sometimes, there is an icon in the unity menu. | 11:58 |

| LjL | Snowcrash: my assumption was that if it's normally auto-mounted, then it should be in the fstab, and if it's in the fstab, it should get mounted without needing to specify where. another way you can try if you're running a recent version of Ubuntu is to start the GUI program "Disk Utility", and mount from there. | 12:00 |

| lukicat | krux, think you misunderstood me. i don't want to change the resolution of grub, i wanna change the resolution of the ubuntu. maybe i have to set this at some different location? | 13:02 |

| Amijai | I think it's gwibber | 13:28 |

| zykotick9 | chu: empathy integrates with the ubuntu stuff | 13:32 |
| chu | Cool. | 13:32 |
| allenap | Hi all. A friend had lots of problems installing 12.04 recently, all to do with bad drive warnings, seemingly spurious ones. Can anyone point me in the right direction to file a bug about this? I looked at base-installer but I wasn't sure that was the right place. | 13:33 |
| fidel_ | allenap: sure those drives are ok? checked them manually? | 13:34 |
| Myrtti | allenap: what makes you think they're spurious? | 13:34 |
| BlouBlou | how to kill a pid number? | 13:35 |
| fidel_ | BlouBlou: start with: man kill | 13:35 |
| zykotick9 | BlouBlou: "kill #####" | 13:35 |
| marco | BlouBlou: kill -9 pid | 13:35 |
| Amijai | tried pidgin too | 13:35 |
| zykotick9 | marco: don't suggest -9, that's ONLY if regular kill fails | 13:35 |
| BlouBlou | fidel_: nice help. You're really a great helper. /nick read_the_man | 13:35 |
| Amijai | the same | 13:35 |
| BlouBlou | zykotick9, marco: ok thank you | 13:35 |
| fidel_ | BlouBlou: kill offers several options/parameters - so it makes sense to understand the levels | 13:36 |
| kapz | how do I map the Fn key combos on my laptop? | 13:36 |
| fidel_ | insteed of just using the first cmd someone advices in irc - no offense | 13:36 |
| Amijai | even deleted and re-created the account | 13:36 |
| allenap | fidel_, Myrtti: The same errors on 4/5 different drives. I wasn't there at the time, but he has written about it at http://www.belial.co.uk/?p=119. Truth be told, I like to find that this is a known issue, because there's not much more information I can give; he's moved onto CentOS so it's not going to be possible to reproduce. | 13:36 |
| diverdude | Hello, anybody knows if this guy is compatible with ubuntu distro? http://www.neousys-tech.com/PCIe-PoE_2+.html | 13:36 |
| fidel_ | allenap: i noticed that error aswell with 1 single drive - and well - according to the smart-values it was a drive which was starting to die. but on the other hand - smart values are heavily discussed | 13:38 |
| fidel_ | allenap: so i would always try to verify first with those drives - before you submit a bug | 13:38 |
| fidel_ | you/he should be able to check those drives on other distris as well | 13:39 |
| allenap | fidel_: Cool, I'll suggest he does that. | 13:39 |
| kapz | anyone knows how to map the Fn key combos on laptop? | 13:39 |
| fidel_ | allenap: the warning was most likely based on smart-values - so thats the starting point i assume | 13:39 |
| caddoo | anyone know of a good application that i can have on running on one screen that reads a log file and refreshes it everytime the file changes | 13:40 |

| MacroMan | I'm having problems with ssh again. I can connect and disconnect roughly 30 times. The for no reason I can't connect to that server anymore. It just timeouts. Restarting my computer allows me to connect another ~30 times. | 13:41 |
| mega0wn3r | I need help quadbooting my computer. | 13:41 |
| fidel_ | mega0wn3r: whats the problem/issue in detail? | 13:41 |
| MacroMan | I've tried restarting networking (sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart), but makes no difference. I have to restart. Really need some help here please? | 13:41 |
| DarkLobster | I've moved my harddisks to another computer, and done some partition changes, so obviously the uuid numbers have changed. I'm now trying to make hibernation work again, but when I run update-initramfs I get 'cryptsetup: WARNING: found more than one resume device candidate: <2 uuid's>'. Blkid shows one of those numbers, but where to look for the other one?? I can't find it anywhere whatsoever! | 13:42 |

| mega0wn3r | I want to upgade from wubi install to full ubuntu and add Xubuntu. | 13:42 |
| sipior | MacroMan: do you control the server in question? | 13:42 |
| caddoo | thanks fidel and iceroot | 13:42 |
| fidel_ | mega0wn3r: no idea regarding wubi at all - but regarding xubuntu - do you really want to install another ubuntu with just another desktop envornment - or is adding xfce to one of your existing ubuntu-installs enough? | 13:43 |
| vlt | DarkLobster: `grep -r UUID /etc`? | 13:43 |
| fidel_ | mega0wn3r: just to avoid not-needed multi-installations in the first place | 13:43 |
| MacroMan | sipior: Sortof (I do have access to it). But it doesn't seem to be the server as others can still connect fine. It seems local because a restart fixes it. | 13:43 |
| zykotick9 | ignarps: mega0wn3r | 13:43 |
| mega0wn3r | I want xubuntu. | 13:43 |
| fidel_ | mega0wn3r: you know that you can easily install xubuntu-desktop on an existing ubuntu-install? | 13:44 |
| sipior | MacroMan: do you have an odd firewall rule in place? i assume all thirty logins are successful? | 13:44 |
| mega0wn3r | yes | 13:44 |
| fidel_ | mega0wn3r: so if its really just about having the xubuntu-desktop - and you have an ubuntu instal lalready - there is no need for an additional full install | 13:44 |
| djszapi | any ideas ? | 13:44 |
| fidel_ | ok then | 13:45 |
| DarkLobster | vlt: Good old bruteforce. I'll try that. | 13:45 |
| MacroMan | sipior: Yes, all 30 (roughly) logins are succesful and quick. Here are my firewall rules: http://pastebin.com/MkxEx1F5 | 13:46 |
| mega0wn3r | I also want to get rid of windows and keep wubi installed ubuntu. | 13:46 |
| djszapi | perhaps I am ignored :) | 13:46 |
| stahlie | Hi... I've upgraded to 12.04 however all of the windows menu is behind the bar of the top of the screen...how do i get those windows menu below the top bar | 13:47 |
| sipior | MacroMan: don't suppose you have access to the logs on the target? what happens if you supply the "-vvv" switch to ssh? | 13:47 |
| stahlie | I can't even access to those menu | 13:47 |
| fidel_ | stahlie: behind the bar or part of the bar? using unity? | 13:47 |
| MacroMan | sipior: Pass -vvv locally? Yes I can get the logs, but not until I restart so I can ssh into it. | 13:48 |
| sipior | MacroMan: yes, "ssh -vvv xyzzy..." | 13:48 |
| MacroMan | sipior: Hmm. It seems to be working again now without restarting. Maybe there is some kind of timeout on the server | 13:49 |
| sipior | MacroMan: that was my assumption. it just takes you long enough to restart, so... | 13:49 |
| Lunar_Lander | hi there just got a message on the screen saying "Ubuntu 12.04 noticed an internal error, please restart your computer if you encounter further problems" and there was a checkbox with something like "report this error to canonical" and then I clicked on "More information" and it said the issue was with "unity-panel-service" and then a further window came up saying "Was your issue with Unity purely graphical?" and then something about re | 13:50 |
| Lunar_Lander | porting to Compiz and Yes/No buttons. Is that message normal or does it mean something bad? | 13:50 |
| MacroMan | sipior: Do you know where the log will be so I can see what happened? | 13:50 |
| stahlie | fidel_ behind the bar | 13:50 |
| fidel_ | stahlie: what are you choosing at login (lightdm) as login-session? | 13:51 |
| sipior | MacroMan: /var/log/auth.log, /var/log/messages. depends a bit on which flavour of linux is running. | 13:51 |
| stahlie | fidel_: you know where the tab on windows and x icon to close the window..it's behind the bar | 13:51 |
| compdoc | vncserver does not seem to be loading properly. anyone good at troubleshooting this? | 13:51 |
| fidel_ | stahlie: what are you choosing at login (lightdm) as login-session? | 13:51 |
| stahlie | how do I know what I chose? | 13:51 |
| fidel_ | stahlie: logout - press the white dot next to your username | 13:52 |
| MacroMan | sipior: Not sure, but this is what I get when I log in: Linux ubuntu-webserver 2.6.32-24-server #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 06:21:40 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 13:52 |
| stahlie | fidel_: brb | 13:52 |
| sipior | MacroMan: /var/log/auth.log is your best bet. | 13:52 |
| sipior | MacroMan: syslog as well, of course | 13:53 |
| Lunar_Lander | In addition to my problem above, that happened when I tried to click the "Launch" button at the very top left of the screen and suddenly the sidebar made "jerky" movement and then the message came up | 13:53 |
| Lunar_Lander | might that be related then? | 13:54 |
| Lunar_Lander | unity-panel-service seems to have to do with the sidebar I assume | 13:54 |
| Lunar_Lander | sorry, being a noob and still windows paranoid | 13:54 |
| stahlie | fidel_: gnome classic (Gnome is not working.... missing letters in menu listing) | 13:55 |
| MacroMan | sipior: in auth.log I can see my succesful connections, but no entries for the failed ones. Just gonna check syslog | 13:55 |
| sipior | MacroMan: might be amusing to check for bizarre firewall rules on the target as well | 13:55 |

| Mitchell_M | Hey guys, I've tried numerous attempts, but I cannot figure out what/where to modify .desktop files to get the icons to appear on the launchpad. I keep editing the /usr/share/applications/*.desktop area, but to no avail. Any suggestions?] | 13:56 |
| MacroMan | sipior: It's our test web server, so probably pretty tight | 13:56 |
| vlt | haladur_phox2: brasero or wodim | 13:56 |
| Mitchell_M | fidel: There are programs like Nero for that. | 13:57 |
| vlt | Mitchell_M: Did you try to add it manually alreday? | 13:57 |
| Mitchell_M | yeah, then compared but saw no difference | 13:57 |
| vlt | Mitchell_M: To see where a .desktop file is created and what it looks like? | 13:57 |
| fidel_ | Mitchell_M: i wasnt asking - maybe you are adressing the wrong one | 13:57 |
| Lunar_Lander | does anyone have a moment for my question please? | 13:57 |
| vlt | Mitchell_M: No difference to what? | 13:57 |
| Mitchell_M | fidel: sorry about that | 13:58 |
| MacroMan | sipior: Nothing out of the ordinary in the iptables: http://pastebin.com/tMNJv1nV | 13:58 |
| MacroMan | sipior: Nothing about the connections in the syslog | 13:58 |
| stahlie | fidel_: if it's in Gnome session.... the menu are showing missing letter like "L g u t" | 13:58 |
| vlt | !patience | Lunar_Lander | 13:58 |
| sipior | MacroMan: bad habit to just post firewall rules to a public channel :-) | 13:58 |
| ubottu | Lunar_Lander: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 13:58 |
| stahlie | fidel_: instead of "Logout" | 13:58 |
| stahlie | fidel_: so i'm using gnome classic | 13:59 |
| Mitchell_M | no difference between when I added the .desktop file on the launchpad as to when I removed it. Is there a .desktop file for each user? Can you tell me where to find it? | 13:59 |
| haladur_phox2 | brasero dosent want to open | 13:59 |
| Mitchell_M | I mean program not file | 13:59 |
| MacroMan | sipior: No one from outside our network should be able to even see the server | 13:59 |
| vlt | Mitchell_M: That’s exactly what you were supposed to find out by creating an Icon manually. | 13:59 |
| Lunar_Lander | vlt, thanks, I just found something on that error message in the Forums but not about the "extra" message about the "was it a purely graphical isssue...report to Compiz" | 13:59 |

| Mitchell_M | hmmm, I coudln't find it in the /home/user are for my user | 14:00 |
| Mitchell_M | I'll keep looking online then to see where the individual .desktop files are | 14:00 |
| MacroMan | sipior: No, all went through OK. I don't know what fail2ban is tbh. It wasn't set up by me. | 14:01 |
| vlt | Mitchell_M: Ok, step by step … Is there a new icon in the launcher now? | 14:01 |
| sipior | MacroMan: http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page | 14:02 |

| dontknow | update | 14:02 |
| MacroMan | sipior: Ah, that fit's the bill nicely. | 14:02 |
| Mitchell_M | vlt: Right now, no. I tried playing around with .desktop files in /usr/share/program to see if I could get it to appear on launchpad that way | 14:02 |
| haladur_phox2 | how do i mount an ISO? | 14:03 |
| vlt | Mitchell_M: Please, read my suggestion again. | 14:03 |
| Mitchell_M | ok | 14:03 |
| dr_willis | MacroMan: logwatch can summarize fail2ban logs nicely | 14:03 |
| dontknow | when will we fucking get chromium 19 update? | 14:03 |
| dr_willis | !iso | 14:03 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 14:03 |
| Lunar_Lander | vlt, the first window I got looked almost like this on the wiki page here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport only that it wasn't the gedit symbol but the ubuntu logo | 14:03 |

| dontknow | it is still v18, this bother me | 14:04 |
| Mitchell_M | vlt: so you suggested for me to add an icon manually and then look at the changes made to the .desktop file compared to when there was no icon | 14:04 |
| vlt | Mitchell_M: Right. | 14:05 |
| fidel_ | dontknow: in case you really think you need it now - there is afaik a daily builds ppa for chromium | 14:05 |
| fidel_ | dontknow: this might be an option to be more up-to-date | 14:05 |
| vlt | Mitchell_M: I think you haven’t done step 1 yet. | 14:05 |
| fidel_ | dontknow: just checked - the ppa offers 18 as well ;) | 14:05 |

| dontknow | fidel_, those ppa's also doesn't have updates, i want to use chromium stable 19 | 14:06 |
| dontknow | fidel_, yes they still offer 18 | 14:06 |
| Lunar_Lander | dontknow, may I ask a stupid question? | 14:06 |
| Mitchell_M | hmm, it could be I'm not looking at the right .desktop file. Adding an icon manually would not change the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/. So what .desktop file should I look for? I am not sure where else to find the .desktop files | 14:06 |
| fidel_ | ;) | 14:06 |
| dontknow | Lunar_Lamp, please | 14:06 |
| haladur_phox2 | all my apps are crashing | 14:06 |
| dontknow | Lunar_Lander, please | 14:06 |
| Lunar_Lander | what is different between version 18 and 19 | 14:07 |
| Lunar_Lander | and why not use firefox? | 14:07 |
| dontknow | Lunar_Lamp, there are changes of course but for me security is important | 14:07 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah I see | 14:07 |
| dr_willis | opera. ;) | 14:07 |
| haladur_phox2 | i have no idea what im doing | 14:07 |
| Lunar_Lander | I got firefox with adblock plus and Noscript | 14:07 |
| Lunar_Lander | I think that is OK for me | 14:07 |
| dontknow | Lunar_Lander, v19 also has better history match | 14:08 |
| haladur_phox2 | im still new to ubuntu | 14:08 |
| dr_willis | haladur_phox2: more details will help | 14:08 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah I see | 14:08 |
| Lunar_Lander | btw while waiting for my Apport question | 14:08 |
| sk1special | okay.. i need to update my bios..any help? | 14:08 |
| stueng | I asked earlier how to get a ubuntu install without any gui.. just as simple as possible, I was tole alternate CD.. which I downloaded and installed but its exactly the same?! | 14:08 |
| Wawaiftyid | How to surf over an encrypted user /home/? Of course I have root privileges. | 14:09 |
| haladur_phox2 | dr_willis: i have no idea what im doing im trying to run boot repair disk | 14:09 |
| dr_willis | sk1special: not really ubuntu support related | 14:09 |
| Mitchell_M | sklspecial: you should really be sure you want to update BIOS before you actually have to | 14:09 |
| dontknow | Lunar_Lander, i installed chrome stable 19 but it is laggy in my computer, chromium builds for ubuntu gives me better performance | 14:09 |
| fidel_ | stueng: are you looking for a cli-based install or unattend/similar? | 14:09 |
| Mitchell_M | also not Ubuntu related | 14:09 |
| Lunar_Lander | dontknow, ah I see | 14:09 |
| sipior | Wawaiftyid: encrypted volumes wouldn't be very useful if root could get around it :-) | 14:09 |
| fabiobik | hi | 14:09 |
| sk1special | dr_willis: ah.. i know how to do it in windows..but need to do it here.. go to hardware or..? | 14:10 |
| stueng | fidel_: I want a minimal installation without any GUI / applications to start with... I dont want x.org or anything | 14:10 |
| fabiobik | can see my messages_ | 14:10 |
| dontknow | Lunar_Lander, yes. and i am angry now, it is still 19 lol | 14:10 |
| Wawaiftyid | sipior, so I can't navigate them? Wtf? I am the administrator, I should be able to watch anothers users. | 14:10 |
| Mitchell_M | sk1special: Best suggestion, don't do it. If you mess it up you'll end up with an irreversibly messed up up system | 14:10 |
| dontknow | Lunar_Lander, *it is still 18 | 14:10 |
| fidel_ | stueng: you could simply use the server cd aswell | 14:10 |
| sk1special | Mitchell_M: i know.. i need to in order to use win 8 | 14:10 |
| Lunar_Lander | the last days when I switched to 12.04, the PC froze several times when running YouTube, I thought that there was an issue with Flash, now yesterday there was an update coming in called "linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic-pae" and "linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic-pae", since then the hanging didn't happen again | 14:10 |
| dr_willis | sk1special: totally depends on the hardware and maker | 14:10 |
| stueng | fidel_: it doesnt come preloaded with lots of stuff I dont need? | 14:10 |
| fidel_ | this should end up in a pretty limited setup aswell | 14:10 |
| Lunar_Lander | are those two updates like the "core" of ubuntu? | 14:10 |
| Lunar_Lander | dontknow, Oh ok | 14:10 |
| Mitchell_M | win 8 not ubuntu related | 14:10 |
| Mitchell_M | ' | 14:10 |
| sipior | Wawaiftyid: complain to Drs. Diffie and Hellman | 14:11 |
| fabiobik | ok, im having problems to create a live usb with linux. when i create on boot says system operative missing | 14:11 |
| Mitchell_M | But suggested to get a new motherboard | 14:11 |
| gentoo_user | hi. did someone know converter for fonts? | 14:11 |
| fabiobik | does anyone knows_ | 14:11 |
| fidel_ | stueng: no you can basically selexct example setups like LAMP-Server, or Mailserver, but if you deselect that you have a pretty small core install | 14:11 |
| stueng | i downloaded minimal just trying that now | 14:11 |
| fidel_ | stueng: which allows you for sure as well to install i.e. kde later on | 14:11 |
| sk1special | i dont need a new motherboard.. just need to update it to be able to use win 8.. // didnt ask about win 8 ..just how to update bios here on ubuntu | 14:11 |
| Wawaiftyid | sipior, seriously, I am the administrator, there is a way to watch anothers users /home/? | 14:11 |
| haladur_phox2 | hello? | 14:12 |
| sk1special | the older software version isnt compatibable with it yet..the board itself is..just need to update it | 14:12 |
| fidel_ | sk1special: updating bios isnt really ubuntu-related or am i wrong? | 14:12 |
| Mitchell_M | Well, ifyou really want to know, go to the manufacture website | 14:12 |
| dontknow | someone who knows, build chromium 19 for ubuntu please | 14:12 |
| ikonia | Wawaiftyid: watch a directory ? | 14:12 |
| fidel_ | sk1special: usually the bios should come with install-instructions - which might be related with windows tools or bootable usb/floppy devices | 14:12 |
| dontknow | they update firefox, but they don't update chromium, this is annoying | 14:12 |
| Wawaiftyid | ikonia, enter on it. I am talking about enter in /home/user1 and read/write his files. | 14:13 |
| ikonia | Wawaiftyid: sure, are you the server administrator ? | 14:13 |
| sipior | Wawaiftyid: if you've got root access, simply log in as the user. | 14:13 |
| alejandro | I have a chip SMSC SCH5317 and I'm trying to make it work as it does not detect it by default. To do this, run the superiotool and shows me: Found SMSC SCH5317 (id = 0x85, rev = 0x12) at 0x4e. | 14:13 |
| alejandro | The theory says that the module can run the sch5317 smsc47b397 but not yet detected. | 14:13 |
| Wawaiftyid | how? | 14:13 |
| ikonia | just enter the directory as the root user | 14:13 |
| sk1special | fiedl_: yeah theres a usb drive part..just had never done it on linux so i didnt know if there was something different i need to know thats not on the site..but mmk | 14:13 |
| ikonia | Wawaiftyid: are you the administrator yes/no | 14:13 |
| stueng | its encrypoted | 14:13 |
| sk1special | fidel_: ** | 14:14 |
| Wawaiftyid | ikonia, yes | 14:14 |
| Wawaiftyid | stueng, yes, it is also encrypted | 14:14 |
| Lunar_Lander | the last days when I switched to 12.04, the PC froze several times when running YouTube, I thought that there was an issue with Flash, now yesterday there was an update coming in called "linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic-pae" and "linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic-pae", since then the hanging didn't happen again | 14:14 |
| ikonia | sk1special: ahh, it's encypted | 14:14 |
| Lunar_Lander | are those two updates like the "core" of ubuntu? | 14:14 |
| alejandro | Can anyone hel me? | 14:14 |
| fidel_ | sk1special: linux isnt involved at that point as far as i know | 14:14 |
| dontknow | update chromium!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 14:14 |
| ikonia | Wawaiftyid: ok, so switch user to root, then switch user to that user | 14:14 |
| fidel_ | dontknow: repeating that doesnt help | 14:14 |
| ikonia | dontknow: please don't just say random words, ask a question wait for an answer | 14:14 |
| stueng | "su username" | 14:14 |
| stueng | ? | 14:14 |
| sipior | dontknow: your sense of entitlement is deeply disturbing. | 14:14 |
| ikonia | Wawaiftyid: do you have "sudo" permissions ? | 14:15 |
| Wawaiftyid | ikonia, can you tell me what commands to use? | 14:15 |
| haladur_phox2 | can i have some help please | 14:15 |
| stueng | Wawaiftyid: sudo guestuser | 14:15 |
| Wawaiftyid | ikonia, yes | 14:15 |
| sk1special | iknoia: whats encrytped? | 14:15 |
| ikonia | Wawaiftyid: ok, so sudo -i | 14:15 |
| ikonia | Wawaiftyid: are you then "root" ? | 14:15 |
| Wawaiftyid | ikonia, yes | 14:15 |
| dontknow | sipior, fidel_ ikonia i am angry, still have 18 | 14:15 |
| ikonia | Wawaiftyid: then su - $his_username | 14:15 |
| stueng | cant he just sudo "insert encrypted user here" | 14:15 |
| sipior | dontknow: life is hard, sometimes. | 14:15 |
| lelamal | !help | haladur_phox2 | 14:15 |
| ubottu | haladur_phox2: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 14:15 |
| sipior | stueng: yep :-) | 14:16 |
| fidel_ | dontknow: still it doesnt help to repeat yourself | 14:16 |
| Wawaiftyid | ikonia, shall I use that «$»? | 14:16 |
| ikonia | dontknow: control your anger then, the attitude won't get you far | 14:16 |
| ikonia | Wawaiftyid: not $ | 14:16 |
| fidel_ | nor do we package chromium-browser for you ;) | 14:16 |
| sk1special | how do i check my hardware to see what board i have here? | 14:16 |
| haladur_phox2 | i need to burn or mount an ISO | 14:16 |
| stueng | Wawaiftyid: just type in the name of the user who you want to access after sudo | 14:16 |
| Wawaiftyid | ikonia, ok, for be sure: su - user1 Is that correct? | 14:16 |
| dontknow | sipior, fidel_ ikonia why do they update firefox but chromium? | 14:16 |
| fidel_ | dontknow: so at the end - you'll have to wait until the one doing the package is done with it in the first place | 14:16 |
| Wawaiftyid | stueng, ok | 14:16 |
| sipior | dontknow: because you aren't helping them. | 14:16 |
| Wawaiftyid | I'll try. | 14:16 |
| dr_willis | !iso | haladur_phox2 | 14:17 |
| ubottu | haladur_phox2: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 14:17 |
| ikonia | Wawaiftyid: yes | 14:17 |
| fidel_ | dontknow: ask them - not us | 14:17 |
| OerHeks | dontknow just wait for the update, or build it yourself | 14:17 |
| Lunar_Lander | vlt, so my message I got probably was just Apport notifying me of the failure of unity-panel-service? | 14:17 |
| phibxr | dontknow, you may want to contact the chromium team who maintains the package: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-team | 14:17 |
| fidel_ | building it yourself should always be an option if you really think you need the latest version | 14:17 |
| lelamal | haladur_phox2: this is how to burn an ISO: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 14:17 |
| fidel_ | or consider using one of those updater plugins - i'Ve noticed they offer something like that as well | 14:17 |
| dontknow | OerHeks, i would, but my laptop probably would explode while compilin | 14:18 |
| stueng | is this minimal install CD installing the whole of Ubuntu ? | 14:18 |
| stueng | without asking me anything | 14:18 |
| deejay31 | Are BNC's allowed in here because i swear i keep getting kicked while im away | 14:18 |
| zth | i have a windows xp install and a ubuntu 12.04 running on dualboot, can i in ubuntu somehow import my passwords from firefox in windows? | 14:18 |
| fidel_ | deejay31: yes - but please configure it without public away etc | 14:18 |
| deejay31 | Does mine have public away then | 14:19 |
| fidel_ | deejay31: as long as the bnc behaves like a normal session there is usualy no reason to kick users | 14:19 |
| deejay31 | Oh ok. | 14:19 |
| dr_willis | deejay31: i use znc all the time. no issues | 14:19 |
| fidel_ | using irssi/screen here - havent been kicked for years | 14:19 |
| fidel_ | which is a bnc at the end as well ;) | 14:19 |
| Lunar_Lander | OK people I want to know, has that problem very far above just been the normal error reporting scheme or malware?! | 14:20 |
| Lunar_Lander | I always thought there is no malware on linux | 14:20 |
| fidel_ | Lunar_Lander: can you repeatthe error message? | 14:20 |
| Lunar_Lander | OK one moment fidel_ | 14:20 |
| Lunar_Lander | hi there just got a message on the screen saying "Ubuntu 12.04 noticed an internal error, please restart your computer if you encounter further problems" and there was a checkbox with something like "report this error to canonical" and then I clicked on "More information" and it said the issue was with "unity-panel-service" and then a further window came up saying "Was your issue with Unity purely graphical?" and then something about r | 14:20 |
| Lunar_Lander | eporting to Compiz and Yes/No buttons. Is that message normal or does it mean something bad? | 14:20 |
| Lunar_Lander | (sorry for just copy-pasting) | 14:20 |
| fidel_ | Lunar_Lander: happend to me as well in the beta-days of 12.04 | 14:21 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah | 14:21 |
| Lunar_Lander | the second window with "report to Compiz" too? | 14:21 |
| === ye is now known as Guest70069 | ||
| fidel_ | at the end its just a visual feedback to the user and the option to access crash/problem informations as far as i can see | 14:21 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah I see | 14:21 |
| Lunar_Lander | I clicked the top left button | 14:21 |
| Lunar_Lander | the "start menu" | 14:21 |
| Lunar_Lander | but it didn't open up on the first click and then it made a "jerky" movement and then the message came | 14:22 |
| fidel_ | Lunar_Lander: in case you can reproduce that error-dialoges with an up-to-date install - consider reporting a bug if it or a similar one isnt listed at launchpad already | 14:22 |
| Lunar_Lander | yeah | 14:22 |
| Lunar_Lander | that was the very first time I got that | 14:22 |
| Lunar_Lander | never got such a message on 11.10 | 14:22 |
| Lunar_Lander | and I got 12.04 for about a week now | 14:22 |
| Lunar_Lander | thus I was confused | 14:22 |

| sk1special | anyone know the command to check my board specs? sudo apt tell-me-my-hardware-shiz? :] | 14:23 |
| Lunar_Lander | fidel_, can I re-ask you my second question as well? | 14:23 |
| mneptok | sk1special: lshw | 14:23 |
| Lunar_Lander | here: the last days when I switched to 12.04, the PC froze several times when running YouTube, I thought that there was an issue with Flash, now yesterday there was an update coming in called "linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic-pae" and "linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic-pae", since then the hanging didn't happen agai | 14:23 |
| sk1special | t/y t/y | 14:24 |
| fidel_ | Lunar_Lander: for sure - just keep in mind that repeating in a short time is usualy not helpful. try to re-ask it as detailed as possible and in best case not splitted into 10 single lines ;) good luck | 14:24 |
| stueng | I am using the minimal install CD in a hope that I could install a light weight version of ubuntu, but it seems to... aha ok it just asked me nm | 14:24 |
| mneptok | sk1special: and obfuscated profanity os still profanity. please don't in this channel. | 14:24 |
| Lunar_Lander | fidel_, yeah :) | 14:24 |
| mneptok | Lunar_Lander: what's the "question" part of that second question? | 14:25 |
| jyg | I've been running 11.10 64bit for a long time with no wireless trouble. I unstalled 11.10 32bit on another partition recently and the longer I've used it, the harder time it has connecting to wireless networks, and now it wont connect at all. Seems like it connected to the network but i think it has trouble obtaining an address | 14:25 |
| zth | how do i set unity-2d to default session in 12.04? | 14:25 |
| fidel_ | jyg: sure it tries to connect to the right network/ssid in the first place? | 14:25 |
| jyg | how do i begin to troubleshoot this? most of the info i find on google is driver-related, which I don't think is the issue | 14:25 |
| jyg | fidel, yes | 14:25 |
| Lunar_Lander | mneptok, ah sorry, copying error on my side | 14:25 |
| fidel_ | otherwise that could explain the no longer working connection attempt easily | 14:26 |
| jyg | fidel, also i tried an open network and it connected fine | 14:26 |
| Lunar_Lander | question is: Are those two things like the "Core" of Ubuntu and thus the crashing didn't happen so far? | 14:26 |
| stueng | zth: you edit /etc/defaults/lightdm.cfg I think | 14:26 |
| stueng | something like that | 14:26 |
| jyg | thought with the passworded network, it does not repeatedly ask for the password | 14:26 |
| jyg | er, though | 14:26 |
| stueng | !notunity | 14:26 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 14:26 |

| mneptok | Lunar_Lander: the kernel is the core of any operating system. the kernel passes requests from software to hardware. in the case of Flash, which is a LOT of assembly language, the kernel is a big part of the recipe. | 14:28 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah | 14:28 |
| Lunar_Lander | so that got updated in that update? | 14:28 |
| stueng | zth: its /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 14:28 |
| vlt | stueng: In case nobody suggested it yet: You get a minimal no-gui install from debootstrap. | 14:29 |
| stueng | !debootstrap | 14:30 |
| ubottu | debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into.

| Lunar_Lander | have a good day everyone! | 14:31 |
| stueng | like is it... something you install ? | 14:32 |
| vlt | stueng: debootstrap is a tool you have to install first. On nearly any other Ubuntu or Debian system. Even CPU architecture doesn’t matter. Then you run it and it will install a complete fresh system into a *directory* you specify. | 14:33 |
| renato | I m lost in this linux | 14:33 |

| mkohler | hi, how can I install a newer version of libc6? I get a dependy error: "Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14) but 2.13-20ubuntu5.1 is installed" | 14:36 |
| nijan | Hello ubuntu community. We are a no profit association with a drupal site. We wanted to implement ideatorrent but it doesn't seems to be supported anymore and is not compatible with drupal7. What are you using for the brainstorm site? | 14:36 |
| stueng | !libc | 14:36 |
| vlt | stueng: An example. You have a working Ubuntu 10.04, install debootstrap, then open a terminal and run `debootstrap precise ./my_new_precise_system/`. It will install a base system (even w/o a kernel). You can either specify packages to be installed addidionally by debootstrap with the --include option or you can later chroot into that directory and run apt-get there … | 14:36 |
| stueng | how do u get package info from this bot ? | 14:36 |

| mkohler | ^ that's weird since I have the precise sources in my sources.list and still can't get 2.15 | 14:39 |

| stueng | mkohler: under that depency error, do you see others? to do with previous installs that went wrong? | 14:39 |

| mkohler | 2.13-20ubuntu5.1 is installed, candidate is 2.15-0ubuntu10 | 14:42 |

| n0dna | G__81, can you install them from the CLI? tht'd eliminate the frontend as your issue | 14:52 |
| vlt | G__81: I think it’s because your generated locale file might be missing. So the messages are not related to the packages installed but just to the terminal. Try `dpkg-reconfigure locales`. | 14:52 |
| stueng | a simple "startx xbmc " starts X and starts XBMC so that was easy | 14:53 |

| Myrtti | alFReD-NSH: depending from what you mean by that | 15:00 |
| Sidewinder | alFReD-NSH, What Myrtti said is 100% correct; you'd be better off trying ubuntu from LiveCD to test hdw. sound, etc. Then if you like it, install dual boot, NOT wubi. | 15:00 |
| alFReD-NSH | I suppose its trivial to use the normal installer to install dual boot, right? | 15:01 |

| Dr_Willis | designbybeck: i reccomend a 16+ gb usb | 15:27 |
| Dr_Willis | designbybeck: when you do the installer... you point it to the usb /dev/sdXX same as you would a internal hard drive. no differance at all. be sure grub installs to the usb also. | 15:27 |
| Cerrdor | or just unpack the iso to the usb using a virtual disk | 15:27 |
| designbybeck | how do you force GRUB to install to the usb? Dr_Willis? | 15:28 |
| designbybeck | How would you do that Cerrdor? | 15:28 |
| Dr_Willis | designbybeck: the installer asks... | 15:28 |

| Mitchell_M | this is an older version of Ubuntu, but same idea | 15:31 |
| pungi-man | can i have two monitors displaying two different workspaces but connected with a single CPU?? | 15:31 |
| designbybeck | ah!.... could it be that easy!... I've seemed to overlook that | 15:31 |
| Mitchell_M | I know because I installed Ubuntu 12.04 at least 6 times over the past 3 weeks | 15:31 |
| Cerrdor | zizoo have you tried a fog horn while pressing the button? | 15:31 |
| Mitchell_M | past 2 weeks | 15:32 |
| Cerrdor | that would get a signifigant beep | 15:32 |
| designbybeck | an d you just give it it's own username/password and then can boot off it from any computer and it keeps your settings and software you have insatlled? | 15:32 |
| Mitchell_M | I didn't do it on a USB, but it would run the same way and request username and password | 15:32 |
| zizoo | Cerrdor, lol, maybe I'll just attach a usb foghorn to my computer and write my own beep program to operate it. :P | 15:32 |
| Dr_Willis | designbybeck: full install to usb is same as a normal install procedure... | 15:32 |

| Dr_Willis | zizoo: i normally turn off the beeps... even if it means removeing the little pc spkr. | 15:36 |
| Progster | should I be able to su into an account which has shell set to /bin/false if I supply -s /bin/sh ? | 15:36 |
| G__81 | Dr_Willis, can you help me please ? | 15:36 |
| Zta | From Ubuntu 12.04 a "Type your command" prompt opens in the top left corner whenever I press and release Alt alone. How do I disable that? | 15:37 |
| zizoo | Dr_Willis: I want it mainly as an easy not-bypassable way to aggravate people who use my computer without permission. I take another device and ssh 'while true; do beep; done'. | 15:37 |

| Zta | thanks! | 15:38 |
| Cerrdor | oh zoing | 15:38 |
| Cerrdor | which server should I use basic ubuntu, DNS server or Edubuntu | 15:39 |
| zizoo | And just because I like experimenting with the beep parameters to make music. xD... It works on my laptop, but my laptop is still on 11.10. | 15:39 |
| designbybeck | Another question Dr_Willis and Mitchell_M ... I've seen this a time or two now. When I pop in a bootable USB or in this case just created a new one. I see a popup that says "A volume with software packages has been detected. Would you like to open it with pakcage maanger?" what is this? | 15:39 |
| mkohler | I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/NwXehKht .. how can I fix that? | 15:39 |
| designbybeck | Is it saying I can update the ISO/Boot packges so it is already even more uptodate when I install it? | 15:40 |
| Mitchell_M | Hmm, I don't remember that, but is that in the selection for erase and create new page? | 15:40 |
| Mitchell_M | not new page I mean new Ubuntu install | 15:40 |
| designbybeck | no Mitchell_M | 15:41 |
| designbybeck | just when you plug in a bootable jump drive | 15:41 |
| Zta | spacebug-: Relief!! Now, I previously had Super+Tab configured to cycle though apps using a different switcher. I configured this in ccsm and still have this configured, but Super+Tab is overridden to cycle the task bar. Can this be disabled too? | 15:41 |
| Mitchell_M | I don't think that's necessary, but if it really bothers you I can try installing ubuntu on a Vm right now and look at it | 15:42 |
| zizoo | Well, would anyone know why I can output bell chars to /dev/console on my 11.10 lappy but get a permission denied error on 12.04? | 15:42 |
| stueng | on a "minimal" ubuntu install without a DE would a USB stick automount? if not, how do I know its /dev/sdxxx ? | 15:42 |
| stueng | oh fdisk helped me... but will it try autmount ? | 15:42 |
| jst | hello | 15:43 |
| jst | i have a real simple question im still new to ubuntu | 15:43 |
| spacebug- | Zta: Not sure but you should be able to change things like that in ccsm I think. | 15:43 |
| Mitchell_M | give me a moment | 15:43 |
| Dr_Willis | stueng: no it would not. there are console based auto mounting services. | 15:43 |
| Dr_Willis | !mount | stueng | 15:44 |
| ubottu | stueng: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 15:44 |
| stueng | Dr_Willis: could you point me in the direction of one, I wish for this system to auto mount | 15:44 |
| jst | how do i connect two differnt folders so there one in the same? | 15:44 |
| Dr_Willis | stueng: check the package manager search feature. | 15:44 |
| Dr_Willis | not used one of those in years. | 15:44 |
| stueng | Dr_Willis: apt-cache search ? | 15:44 |
| Dr_Willis | stueng: yes... | 15:44 |
| Dr_Willis | !apt | 15:44 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 15:44 |
| jst | hello? | 15:45 |
| stueng | jst: define connect two folders | 15:45 |
| stueng | !info pmount | 15:45 |
| Dr_Willis | jst: you can make 'soft links' to make folder 1 also appear as folder 2 | 15:45 |
| ubottu | pmount (source: pmount): mount removable devices as normal user. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.23-2 (precise), package size 94 kB, installed size 840 kB | 15:45 |
| Cerrdor | is this edubuntu server any good if anyone has used it? | 15:46 |
| jst | im trying to get web to be in httpd | 15:46 |
| stueng | !info autofs5 | 15:46 |

| jst | so if i place it in that folder it gets put into httpd | 15:46 |
| stueng | ^ does this soiund right Dr_Willis | 15:46 |
| clausen | I would like to remove setuid on everything on my server (for security reasons). According to the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SUIDFiles Ubuntu requires "sudo" to be setuid root. What might go wrong if I remove setuid root? | 15:47 |
| clausen | (on sudo) | 15:47 |
| G__81 | Did some one get a chance to look @ the errors ? | 15:47 |
| Dr_Willis | clausen: you lose all sudo rights... and cant admin anything. ;) | 15:48 |
| Dr_Willis | clausen: theres secure, then thers paranoid... then theres 'tinfoil hat paranoid' | 15:48 |
| Mitchell_M | designbybeck: you still there? | 15:48 |
| clausen | Dr_Willis, yes, I'm definitely going for "tinfail hat paranoid" for this project. I plan to log in via ssh pubilc key to root | 15:48 |
| OerHeks | G__81, LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "en_IN.ISO8859-1" ?? | 15:48 |
| clausen | (and then drop privileges with non-setuid root "su") | 15:49 |
| OerHeks | G__81, how did you do that? | 15:49 |
| clausen | Dr_Willis, so, if I do all administration as root, I won't have trouble with non-setuid sudo? | 15:49 |
| G__81 | OerHeks, i didnt do anything i am not sure how it got set ? :( | 15:50 |
| G__81 | OerHeks, how do i rectify these errors ? | 15:50 |
| Dr_Willis | clausen: sudo has usese other then 'the command you use to get root rights' if you are doing such customzations, you are likely to cause other issues and perhaps even make things more insecure. I dont see the point in your security changes. | 15:51 |
| designbybeck | yes Mitchell_M? | 15:51 |
| OerHeks | G__81, this askubuntu page can help >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/11184/how-to-change-users-language-locale-back-to-english | 15:51 |
| Mitchell_M | okay | 15:51 |
| Dr_Willis | clausen: there is SElinux and bastille that do other hardning features.. but i dont use them | 15:51 |
| Mitchell_M | So I'm in the selection for the drivees | 15:51 |
| Dr_Willis | clausen: move the binaries to a removeable usb flash drive. ;) | 15:51 |
| Mitchell_M | Is what you said before or after? | 15:51 |
| clausen | Dr_Willis, what other uses? | 15:52 |
| clausen | (I don't understand how removing setuid could make things less secure) | 15:52 |
| designbybeck | err... the last question i had Mitchell_M was just on a Ubuntu computer, when you plug in a USBBootable Drive | 15:52 |
| Dr_Willis | clausen: check the sudo homepage to learn of some of its other features. one is logging of commands used, another is allowing non-root-non-admin users limited admin rights.. | 15:52 |
| Mitchell_M | :o, so you haven't started the install ? | 15:53 |
| designbybeck | right this was just a side question I Noticed a few times when plugging in bootable drives | 15:53 |
| splnet | How do I disable the MOTD update that occurs each time I ssh in? | 15:54 |
| Mitchell_M | :o, I see. That's not important then. What's important is popping your cd in and seeing the drives. I'll post up a picture of what you will see in Ubuntu 12.04 | 15:54 |
| Dr_Willis | splnet: you can do a 'touch .hushlogin' and not see the motd at all | 15:54 |
| designbybeck | does it have to be a CD Mitchell_M? Or can I use 2 usbs? | 15:55 |
| OerHeks | splnet, uninstall MOTD | 15:55 |
| stueng | anyone know how to make a minimal, terminal only ubuntu installation auto mount USB devices when they are plugged in? | 15:56 |
| stueng | I have tried autofs5 I dont think this is the right hting | 15:56 |
| faceprint | I recently upgraded a headless box from 11.04 to 12.04 (in 2 steps, running do-release-upgrade twice). I now have an issue where the box will disappear from the network until I ping from the box out, and then network connectivity is fine. I haven't figured out a good way to describe this problem in a search to try and find a solution. Can anyone help? | 15:56 |
| clausen | Dr_Willis, thanks a lot for your help! I think I've convinced myself there will be no problem (since sudo only works for people in the admin group anyway) | 15:56 |
| stueng | !info udev | 15:57 |
| ubottu | udev (source: udev): rule-based device node and kernel event manager. In component main, is required. Version 175-0ubuntu9 (precise), package size 341 kB, installed size 1049 kB | 15:57 |
| Mitchell_M | You can do 2 USBs | 15:57 |
| splnet | Dr_Willis: right but /etc/motd still seems to get updated which causes some slow down | 15:57 |
| Mitchell_M | Only the other USB will appear so it will be fine | 15:57 |
| D[4]ni | ...is it normal that my speakers make really strange noises when i listen to music and simultaneously play some game? | 15:58 |
| splnet | OerHeks: I don't see a package called motd | 15:58 |
| OerHeks | splnet, or wipe /usr/share/games/fortune ? | 15:58 |
| splnet | OerHeks: update-motd is there but is not installed | 15:58 |
| compdoc | splnet, if you chmod -x to the files in /etc/update.motd.d they wont run | 15:59 |
| splnet | OerHeks: that might be. Its basically an advertisement for Ubuntu. | 15:59 |
| designbybeck | Ok my first burn didn't seem to work right...so i'm making a nother USB | 15:59 |
| OerHeks | splnet, yes, you can add your own. | 15:59 |
| splnet | compdoc: bingo thats what I was looking for. thanks! | 16:00 |

| Mitchell_M | I have to go now, but good luck (i'll be back later probably) | 16:06 |

| killr | hi guys.........my alsamixer does not have a option of pcm | 16:07 |

| splnet | OerHeks: I just tried that. Still no dice | 16:07 |
| designbybeck | Hmm | 16:09 |
| splnet | Not seeing that gss failure issue. This is 12.04 btw | 16:09 |
| alecbenzer | Dr_Willis: well I wouldn't really want to deal with nautilus. I meant just opening it in $EDITOR or something | 16:09 |
| designbybeck | thanks Mitchell_M | 16:09 |
| Bronze | Hi, just started using ubuntu again after many years absence, not familiar with new init system. Can someone tell me what the command is to disable a wervice? So it does not get started again at next reboot? | 16:10 |
| Bronze | *service, not "wservice" :) | 16:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Bronze: for upstart managed services. you can edit/rename the /etc/init/whatever.conf file to be like whatever.dontrun as a easy way | 16:11 |
| Bronze | Dr_Willis: what is the approved command to use in the updtart system? I'd rather conform to good practices. | 16:12 |
| Bronze | *upstart | 16:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Bronze: never seen a 'command' to manage it.. from what i recall of the upstart homepage. they say either edit the .conf or rename it | 16:12 |
| Bronze | no equivalent to chkconfig? | 16:12 |
| Dr_Willis | !upstart | 16:13 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 16:13 |

| Dr_Willis | there may be some better upstart starter guides out there also. i rarely mess with it. | 16:13 |
| === Tunn3l is now known as Tunn3l|dinner | ||
| Bronze | Dr_Willis: Please, when you said "edit the .conf" what file were you referring to? | 16:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Bronze: each service has its own whatever.conf file look in /etc/init/ | 16:14 |
| Bronze | ok, thanks. | 16:14 |
| Dr_Willis | theres still vestages of the old SysV stuff about. :) but if you look those are actually being handled by upstart. perhaps someday they will all vanish. | 16:15 |

| huppensuhn | is there a way to prevent shutdown and reboot? e.g. when a backup is running | 16:19 |
| mkohler | huppensuhn: why would you want to do that? what is causing the shutdown? | 16:19 |
| bieb | how do I remove a package from apt-get's list? I was trying to install likewise-open, it failed through apt-get, but I was able to install pbis (replacement for likewise-open) everytime I try to install another package it fails because it is still trying to download likewise | 16:19 |
| Dr_Willis | 'it failed through apt-get' - what failed about it? | 16:20 |
| en1gma | im going to use yumi to install ubuntu 12.04 64bit to my usb stick. how do i make a persistent install so i can change back to the older ui and it will save it so i dont have to do it everytime | 16:20 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: the instaler tool normally has an option to make a persistant save file. And if you really want the old gnome2 - there are some Unsupported ubuntu variants out with it allready | 16:21 |
| huppensuhn | mkohler, I'm causing the shutdown, when I'm not thinking of the backup still running | 16:21 |
| en1gma | i absomg really | 16:21 |
| Dr_Willis | a persistant save file setup is not ideal for major changes to the install. | 16:21 |
| en1gma | what are the variants | 16:21 |
| Dr_Willis | no idea.. gnome 2 is dead to me.. i dont touch it. | 16:21 |
| Dr_Willis | check the ubuntu blog sites and disrtowatch | 16:22 |
| en1gma | omg i so hate the new UI i hope they switch it back...i do hate kde more though | 16:22 |
| mkohler | huppensuhn: I'm sure you could change the shutdown script and set a variable to indicate a backup is running.. but honestly I have no idea how :) | 16:22 |
| en1gma | i usually just roll it back to older version and then its all good | 16:22 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: oh well.. gnome2 is dead.. and the fallback mode is basically a tempary thing. | 16:22 |
| bieb | Dr_Willis: it failed trying to overwrite /usr/bin/domainjoin-cli which is also in the package pbis-open.. thats what it tells me.. I have run apt-get -f install 3 times, as it recommends and it still fails. | 16:22 |
| en1gma | they are really going to keep this ui from now on?> | 16:22 |
| Dr_Willis | gnome shell, unity, or xfce/lubuntu if you want old skool | 16:22 |
| lattera | so I have a shared library, libhijack, in /usr/lib (/usr/lib/libhijack.so), attempting to compile an app against it, gcc (and clang) both say that it can't find libhijack | 16:23 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: unity is the default desktop for ubuntu, and the ubuntu-tv and ubuntu-phone i hear. | 16:23 |
| fabiobik | people i have something that make me nuts.... im trying to get an usb bootable disk but when i boot from usb gives me missing sysyem operative | 16:23 |
| Dr_Willis | but i imagine it will get tweaked for those. | 16:23 |
| fabiobik | can someone help me with this? | 16:23 |
| Dr_Willis | fabiobik: you made it wrong perhaps. | 16:23 |
| devpilot | when i'm running ubuntu my laptop getting much hotter than it get in windows | 16:23 |
| Fat-Thing | Dr_Willis, does the ubuntu 9.04 work!? i got a cd tho.... :) | 16:23 |
| en1gma | gawd it just feels so slow compared to gnome2...i mean it definately slows me down switching from one app to the other | 16:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Fat-Thing: no idea. I stay with the current latest releases. | 16:24 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: unity is quite snappy on my low end netbook. | 16:24 |
| fabiobik | Dr_Willis, i guess.. | 16:24 |
| Dr_Willis | i just apt-tab to switch apps. same as i always have. | 16:24 |
| fabiobik | Dr_Willis, im using unetbootin | 16:24 |
| en1gma | the slow part is having to select the buttons each time | 16:24 |
| Dr_Willis | buttons? ;) | 16:24 |
| mkohler | en1gma: I encourage you to use alt+tab.. it makes your life a lot easier :) | 16:24 |
| en1gma | not the software actually switching after you select the buttons on left panel | 16:24 |
| Dr_Willis | who needs buttons.. we dont need no stinking buttons.. | 16:24 |
| huppensuhn | en1gma, there is mate desktop, a gnome2 fork. but it's not in the repos and I have no idea how well it works. | 16:24 |
| en1gma | alt-tab if only two apps but if you have 5 open then alt-tab is slow | 16:25 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: superkey+# can also switch apps... | 16:25 |
| ZenMaster | Good morning | 16:25 |
| Fat-Thing | i messed up my distro...and tot i'm doomed! thankfully i got fluxbox...and tried to install ubuntu-desktop and it works back but got messy coz it freezes alot .... for about 30-40sec and resumes grrrr | 16:25 |
| prothon | ls | 16:25 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: but most people dont bother to actually learn any of the ubuntu tricks.. thats why if you hold the SUPER key it shows the shortcut keys. :) | 16:25 |
| mkohler | prothon: wrong window ;) | 16:25 |
| en1gma | i really cant believe they are keeping it. im still using it but i definately put it back to the way i been used to | 16:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Fat-Thing: freezes for all users? even newly made one? | 16:26 |
| fabiobik | Dr_Willis, ive istalled mbr | 16:26 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: with that logic we would all be using Geos and Win1.1 | 16:26 |
| fabiobik | to the pen but nothing... | 16:26 |
| kostasa | hi | 16:26 |
| prothon | mkohler, haha yeah. I moved my mouse too far and synergy kicked me over to my laptop :P | 16:26 |
| en1gma | with the logic they are using now we all might as well just use windows | 16:26 |
| Dr_Willis | fabiobik: could be the pc cant read the usb or boot from them. You can 'dd' the iso file to the flash thats about as idiot-proof (if you dont mess up dd) as i know. | 16:26 |
| lattera | anyone know why I would get undefined symbol errors when trying to compile an app, when the symbols to in fact exist? | 16:27 |
| Fat-Thing | nope Dr_Willis my old ubuntu 10.04 lts distro....the gnome2 got weird it boot up but got no panel shown nothing rather i got a terminal so i tried to login using fluxbox and from there i tried one suggestion from here to do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop then reboot and walla i got my old gnome2 work but not like before it freezes a lot | 16:28 |
| gulzar_ | any offline dictionary like Artha but for KDE? | 16:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Fat-Thing: make a new user.. see if they have the same issue. | 16:28 |
| Fat-Thing | yup same issue i tried it already :( | 16:28 |
| huppensuhn | is there a way to get transparent compression inside encfs? I read about fusecompress, but it's not in the repositories. there is a working package on launchpad, but I'm worried about losing my data if that doesn't work anymore after e.g. an OS upgrade. are there alternatives? | 16:28 |
| lattera | anyone know why I would get undefined symbol errors when trying to compile an app, when the symbols do in fact exist? (`objdump -T /usr/lib/libhijack.so` shows they exist) | 16:28 |
| Fat-Thing | i tried to lessen the resolution from the monitor same failed | 16:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Fat-Thing: that points to some deeper system issue then. so im out of ideas. | 16:29 |
| bieb | Dr_Willis: it failed trying to overwrite /usr/bin/domainjoin-cli which is also in the package pbis-open.. thats what it tells me.. I have run apt-get -f install 3 times, as it recommends and it still fails. | 16:29 |
| Dr_Willis | lowering the res seems a rather random thing to do. | 16:29 |
| Dr_Willis | bieb: perhaps remove both packages? and then reinstall one.. | 16:29 |
| Fat-Thing | but i did a memtest and all passed i dunno .... just by opening 1 youtube video i need to refresh the page 3 times to get the video work.....hehehe weird | 16:30 |

| stueng | I had xorg working fine; I ran it once as root (sudo -s) then I ran it as normal user and all I got was blank screen. Ever since I did that when I startx all I get is blank screen (as root or normal user) I re-installed everything. startx worked fine when running as root... when I laucned as normal user blank screen. and now doesnt work for root either ever since | 16:45 |
| Dr_Willis | why wyoud you startx as root? | 16:45 |
| stueng | I was in sudo -s at the time and forgot | 16:46 |
| safeith | I installed heimdall in ubuntu 12.04 but when i wan to use it i get libusb erroe how i can fix it | 16:46 |

| kippy | Guys I installed xrdp on one of my machines, I connect using remmina. Problem is when the connection breaks and I connect again, I get blank desktop instead of my running applications, is this spawining a new x-session? What can I do? | 16:46 |
| stueng | Dr_Willis: it wont start as root either atm ? | 16:46 |
| rabbi1 | designbybeck: thank you | 16:46 |
| stueng | how can I kill this blank screen ? | 16:47 |
| Dr_Willis | stueng: so.. use the console. and kill X | 16:47 |
| designbybeck | i've used lynx before, takes a lil while to get use to, but i guess it is good for what it does rabbi1 | 16:47 |
| stueng | Dr_Willis: under ctrl+alt+f1 I see "no protocol specified" | 16:47 |
| Dr_Willis | stueng: and how about the other 5 consoles? | 16:47 |
| Dr_Willis | alt-ctrl-f2+ | 16:47 |
| pmo_ | <ctrl> and <alt> work on right side of keyboard instead of left side, how can i change this ? | 16:48 |
| stueng | Dr_Willis: they are fine, I just wonder if this no protocol specified is a clue ? | 16:48 |
| Dr_Willis | stueng: thats error messages/log from your X session.. you could do a ctrl-c in that console to kill X i imagine | 16:48 |
| hawkal1 | What would a generic minimal install need to play sound? | 16:48 |
| stueng | Dr_Willis: yeah ctrl+x worked to kill it, I thought maybe the no protocol error might be a clue why I have blank scnreen | 16:48 |

| meoblast001 | is it normal for 12.04 to randomly lock up frequently during use? | 16:55 |
| meoblast001 | i have 2 systems with very different hardware and they both do it | 16:55 |
| meoblast001 | is this a known issue? | 16:55 |
| stueng | startx as the user still results in blank screen Dr_Willis | 16:56 |
| escott | meoblast001, probably an issue with your graphics drivers. what kind of graphics card do you have | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | stueng: move all their config and other files to some subdir perhaps. to eliminate it being a setting issue. | 16:56 |

| stueng | !notunity | 17:08 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 17:08 |
| stueng | ^^ | 17:08 |
| Dr_Willis | specijalac: install whatever desktop you want.. use it instead. | 17:08 |
| wilee-nilee | specijalac, some do but not a good idea really, you can get every desktop all by itself including the gnome shell. | 17:08 |
| Dr_Willis | ill stick to unity for now. I like the HUD. | 17:08 |
| specijalac | well no offence to any one of you guys, but ubuntu became a bit crapy when Unity came to place.. | 17:09 |
| specijalac | at least for me.. | 17:09 |
| specijalac | so I'm trying to get rid of it! | 17:09 |

| newbie | Dr_Willis, no... on which should i give it. client or server. and by the way i am unable to view the contents now. and nautilus says unable to mount share folder. | 17:16 |
| stueng | newbie: why are you using samba, do yo uhave windows machines that need to access this ? | 17:17 |
| bazhang | stueng, no need repeat every two minutes | 17:17 |
| Dr_Willis | newbie: the machine that the user is connecting to needs to be setup for a samba password for them to login with. | 17:17 |
| stueng | bazhang: I removed the swear word | 17:17 |
| Dr_Willis | newbie: i set up both machines the same way. since i could be going either direction | 17:17 |
| newbie | stueng, no. some one just told me that its easier to setup. and i might have a windows client later on. | 17:17 |
| Dr_Willis | newbie: if you use the on the fly share creation fature of nautilus, you can make guest accessable shares.. or set a password. | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | i always set my users samba password to be same as their login. ;) but im lazy | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | same as their login password i mean. | 17:18 |
| newbie | Dr_Willis, ok so i should do sudo smb passwd -a :the username of?" ? | 17:19 |

| Dr_Willis | newbie: the server has an identical user as the connecting machine? whatever user name you want to use on the server and will be entering. | 17:19 |
| Dr_Willis | TML: they have the #ubuntuone channel. or was it #ubuntu-one | 17:20 |
| newbie | Dr_Willis, i did the same thing. enable guest accesable shares by nautilus but now it doesnt even shows the contents. at first it was but not accepting password. or i should say letting me in | 17:20 |
| TML | Dr_Willis: Thanks | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | newbie: i rarely use the nautilus feature. i normally edit the smb.conf file and enable home shares, and then give the users samba passwords. so all their home files are allready shared. | 17:20 |
| newbie | Dr_Willis, ya.. both users of both machins have the same name. how did you know? | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | newbie: so give both users the same samba password. | 17:21 |

| chaotix | hello. i run dual boot with ubuntu 10.04 and windows xp. i just stupidly downloaded a virus by mistake inside of windows thinking it was a rainmeter skin from deviantart. i am almost positive it was a virus because inside of the compressed file instead of what i was supposed to get, i got an executable file. i tried to delete the whole kit-n-caboodle, but was told i could not as the program was currently in use. i immed | 17:22 |
| chaotix | iately restarted into Ubuntu, and here I am. My two questions are: 1.) Can my Ubuntu partition be hacked/cracked/corrupted by this? and 2.) I read a few times that clam av was a good tool to use to clean up my windows partition from ubuntu, would you recommend this, or an alternative action from within ubuntu? or should i just handle this prob from windows? | 17:22 |
| nemo | Has anyone at all successfully gotten eclipse to launch in 12.04? | 17:23 |

| newbie | Dr_Willis, username is the username of both machins . that is bob in my case | 17:23 |
| nemo | chaotix: virus cleaning from ubuntu is a common tactic | 17:23 |
| nemo | chaotix: clamav is a good start, although like any virus detection software, it won't get all of it. you'll probably want to install a registry editor too. | 17:24 |
| newbie | Dr_Willis, right ? | 17:24 |
| nemo | chaotix: to clean up reg keys and find reg keys pointing to evil stuff. | 17:24 |
| fccf | chaotix: your ubuntu system is safe from damage, you can delete that file from within ubuntu, you may not have actually been attacked if you didn't actually extract the .exe | 17:24 |
| nemo | the way you got the virus implies you need to be a lot more careful in windows. maybe you should use virtualbox | 17:24 |
| nemo | fccf: program currently in use implies he launched it... | 17:24 |

| Dr_Willis | newbie: and to make things easier.. dont ever use spaces in share names. ;) | 17:27 |

| nemo | fccf: 'scuse me for being more paranoid about a system that I'm not in front of... | 17:28 |

| JessicaW | openvoid_: yeah... looks like I'll have to. :D | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Zentaur: each app has its own .desktop file that defines the app and other settings about the app. make such a file and it should show up in all the menus in the proper places | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | 'its all about the .desktop' files. ;) | 18:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Zentaur: an easy way is to copy one from ~/.config/autostart as they are a bit simpler | 18:16 |

| roshan | ActionParsnip ... | 18:29 |
| coolclick | Hi, sorry could not find answer for this. Can I load from windows installer, multi instance of ubuntu... ie 11.10 and 12.04? | 18:29 |
| schultza | roflol @ auronandace | 18:29 |
| designbybeck | auronandace: not that chromium | 18:29 |
| roshan | Does anyone else faces this problem | 18:29 |
| designbybeck | ha | 18:30 |
| tracon | Is there a way I can edit which modules are disabled when I suspend my computer? I do not want my wireless to turn off when I suspend. | 18:30 |
| Dr_Willis | coolclick: i dont think wubi can handle differnt installs of ubuntu on the windows side at teh same time | 18:30 |
| ActionParsnip | roshan: was it a clean installor an upgrde? | 18:30 |
| auronandace | designbybeck: thats why i pointed out the package name is chromium-browser | 18:30 |
| roshan | new install | 18:30 |
| roshan | not an upgrade | 18:30 |
| designbybeck | ;) | 18:30 |
| roshan | Also, occassionally, the screen goes blank and hangs, and I have to remove the battery and reboot | 18:31 |
| hairydog | coolclick, try using virtualbox and setup Ubuntu VMs if you want to run multiple versions | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | roshan: have you tested the RAM? | 18:31 |
| eightieskhild | Dr_Willis, whats the best way to install java? | 18:31 |
| roshan | No.. | 18:31 |
| roshan | Do i need to ? | 18:32 |
| hairydog | ok ActionParsnip call me a noob but what do I do with a .deb file? | 18:32 |
| coolclick | Dr_Willis: thanks, for answer. So should I partition from my 11.10 instance and load 12.04 fresh? | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | roshan: I would | 18:32 |
| === NoiseCounselling is now known as NoiseChancellor | ||
| roshan | But, such issues weren't there with the 11.10 version | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | hairydog: double click it.... | 18:32 |
| designbybeck | !deb | 18:32 |
| ubottu | deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 18:32 |
| hairydog | oh oops | 18:32 |
| hairydog | I right click > extract here lol | 18:32 |
| designbybeck | @hairydog | 18:32 |
| Dr_Willis | coolclick: i never use wubi and i dont reccomend it.. I always do clean installs. | 18:32 |
| Wizard | Hi! | 18:32 |
| Dr_Willis | !java | eightieskhild | 18:32 |
| ubottu | eightieskhild: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 18:32 |
| designbybeck | Agree with Dr_Willis ...wubi isn't advised | 18:33 |
| hairydog | oh nice | 18:33 |
| hairydog | it opens the software center and installs it... pretty sweet | 18:33 |

| designbybeck | Yep hairydog how's that for integration! :) makes installing and uninstalling anything pretty nice | 18:33 |
| ActionParsnip | dasKreech: guides, typo | 18:33 |

| Captain_Proton | glioros, what are you trying to do. protect from hack attacks? | 19:18 |
| escott | harris, but you dont see the wireless lan in the network gui? | 19:18 |
| dontknow | consciousness | 19:18 |
| harris | what is the network gui | 19:19 |
| glioros | Captain_Proton: To see if my server blocked me. Basically I cannot access the box of my server and 2 other websites. I can access other websites. My ISP argue they didnt blocked them, and the hosting company that everything is ok. | 19:19 |
| david__ | if I do the second option would I still be able to chose between windows and linux at boot even though I chose not to install alongside windows?? | 19:19 |
| zigi | Hi, someone who knows, who administers server changelogs.ubuntu.com? | 19:19 |
| escott | harris, when you click on the network icon in the ?upper right? does it not list the wireless | 19:20 |
| glioros | Captain_Proton: even with tracert i get that unable to connect to the target system | 19:20 |
| adamand | glioros, what exactly are you trying to access on your server? | 19:20 |
| adamand | glioros, port or service | 19:20 |
| escott | david__, if the ubuntu disk is the boot disk yes. if the windows disk is the boot disk you would either have to change the boot order or install grub on the windows disk | 19:20 |
| waza-ari | hey all, is there a UPNP Client for ubuntu which also advertises itself on the network? | 19:21 |
| glioros | adamand: service. I cannot access the cpanel and one website of the server. all the other websites are accessible. | 19:21 |
| harris | only wired connect with disconnect | 19:21 |

| Captain_Proton | glioros, did you install fail2ban or anything like that | 19:21 |

| glioros | Captain_Proton: no | 19:21 |
| harris | enabling networking with a check | 19:21 |
| harris | connection information | 19:21 |
| escott | harris, then go to the preferences and see what it says on the wireless tab | 19:21 |
| harris | how do you get to prefrences | 19:22 |
| adamand | glioros, is your server behind a DSL line at home or at the colocation facility, a VM in the cloud, whatnot? | 19:22 |
| glioros | Captain_Proton : and in addition I cannot access the website of the hosting company. I called them and they argued that I am not on their blacklist. webfusion.co.uk is it accessible for you? | 19:22 |
| escott | harris, that menu should have a settings or preferences option | 19:22 |
| hairydog | ok so I can't edit the .cfg files and save them because they require permission from another user my main ubuntu account isn't the user who created the files | 19:23 |
| harris | it only has edit connections | 19:23 |
| hairydog | I know there is a way to switch it to this user using terminal, does anyone know what that command is? | 19:23 |
| glioros | adamand: I am behind a dsl company. The server is behind webfusion.co.uk hosting company. I cannot access the server and their website. | 19:23 |
| escott | harris, ok then that | 19:23 |
| harris | ok | 19:23 |
| glioros | Home I am using a dsl. The first sentence is wrong | 19:23 |
| harris | it has nothing | 19:23 |
| Captain_Proton | glioros, yes | 19:24 |
| nemo | So. Continuing my "trying to learn to live with Unity" - how does one make a custom launcher in unity? I have an app that happens to show up in the app list, but clicking on it does nothing which makes me think a bad .desktop file somewhere (unfortunately there's no context menu to remove/edit) | 19:25 |
| nemo | I'd make a new shortcut but there is no "create launcher" context menu anywhere that I can find... | 19:25 |
| glioros | Captain_Proton; what do you mean by yes? | 19:25 |
| escott | !info alacarte | nemo | 19:25 |
| ubottu | nemo: alacarte (source: alacarte): easy GNOME menu editing tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.13.2-2ubuntu4 (precise), package size 91 kB, installed size 1116 kB | 19:25 |
| nemo | kind of weird actually. even windows lets you do that | 19:25 |
| Captain_Proton | hairydog, put sudo infront of vim or nano | 19:25 |
| nemo | escott: oh. alacarte still works in unity? cool | 19:25 |
| nemo | optional. heh. eh. fine. | 19:26 |
| Captain_Proton | hairydog, they are owned by root | 19:26 |
| escott | nemo, it should | 19:26 |
| harris | escott it was blank | 19:26 |
| nemo | escott: wish they hadn't gotten rid of "create launcher" though :( | 19:26 |
| escott | harris, blank how? | 19:26 |
| Captain_Proton | glioros, yes I can get to the there site | 19:26 |
| === 17SAA7JME is now known as hwhp | ||
| harris | there was no wireless connections | 19:26 |
| harris | in the box | 19:26 |
| glioros | Captain_Proton: I can get to the site using a proxy as well. With my normal internet connection I cannot. | 19:26 |
| escott | harris, have you dont anything to modify files in /etc | 19:27 |
| hairydog | Captain_Proton, using nano how do I edit and save? | 19:27 |
| glioros | My isp argue that they havent block it and webfusion argued that they didnt blocked me | 19:27 |
| hairydog | I was trying to open with text editor | 19:27 |
| hairydog | the gui one not terminal | 19:27 |
| harris | what do you mean | 19:27 |
| escott | harris, have you modified any files in /etc? | 19:27 |
| glioros | Captain_Proton; so one of them it seems lying? | 19:27 |
| harris | no | 19:27 |
| Captain_Proton | hairydog, sudo nano /etc/nagios3/config.d/whatever | 19:27 |
| hairydog | i got it open | 19:27 |
| hairydog | I just don't know how to edit and save the file now | 19:27 |
| nemo | escott: interesting. fixed the bad path in alacarte, and the unity launcher still doesn't work - I guess it isn't aware of the change yet | 19:27 |
| harris | i dont even know how to get to that | 19:27 |
| hairydog | lol | 19:28 |
| BlouBlou | is there any program to send twits without the need of using firefox, loging...? | 19:28 |
| escott | nemo, you probably need to logout | 19:28 |
| harris | escott | 19:28 |
| harris | are you there | 19:28 |
| Captain_Proton | glioros, something is wrong, my guess would be ISP doing something | 19:28 |
| ThePendulum | Greetings | 19:28 |
| escott | harris, im not sure why network manager isn't seeing the wireless. i assume it appears in iwconfig? | 19:28 |
| Captain_Proton | hairydog, try this http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/reu/nano.html | 19:29 |
| adamand | glioros, I'm not sure I understand what the problem is. do you have shell access at the server or is it completely unreachable from your home? | 19:29 |
| ThePendulum | I have Windows installed on an SSD, and I'd like to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7. However, for some reason, the Ubuntu LiveCD thinks the SSD is completely empty | 19:29 |
| harris | escott it says when i ran that code lo no wireless extensions. | 19:29 |
| harris | eth0 no wireless extensions. | 19:29 |
| glioros | adamand: I have shell access. Is there any way from the shell to check if my ISP is blocking the server ? | 19:29 |
| === hwhp is now known as user58964 | ||
| nemo | escott: bleah. you'd think they'd just link to the existing launcher. even dragging to the panel doesn't trigger any kind of check :-/ | 19:29 |
| harris | but it works on the same computer in vista mode | 19:30 |
| escott | harris, but didnt rfkill list show the wireless lan, or is that perhaps a bluetooth adapter? | 19:30 |

| escott | ThePendulum, what does sudo parted -l /dev/sdX say? | 19:31 |
| harris | sorry | 19:31 |
| adamand | glioros, what would the ISP block in this case? if you are able to access via shell, then there is network connectivity | 19:31 |
| === user58964 is now known as GreenBeatle | ||
| ThePendulum | escott: Is that a lowercase L or a capitcal i? | 19:31 |

| escott | ThePendulum, : | 19:31 |
| escott | ThePendulum, L | 19:31 |
| ThePendulum | Ah, okay | 19:32 |
| adamand | glioros, are you trying to launch a web server ? | 19:32 |
| nemo | I have to leave the dialog open while pasting or I lose my data. This is in both XFCE4 and Unity. | 19:32 |
| vekexasia | why the hell i have ubuntu in chinese? LOL | 19:32 |
| harris | escott | 19:32 |
| harris | i need thw answer in 10 minutes | 19:32 |
| nemo | Also seems to be regardless of whether I use ctrl-c or X paste (mouse select) | 19:32 |
| glioros | adamand: no. the webserver is running properly. But I cannot access certain websites from http | 19:32 |
| ThePendulum | escott: Warning: /dev/sda contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. | 19:32 |
| ThePendulum | However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. | 19:32 |
| ThePendulum | Perhaps it was corrupted -- possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT | 19:32 |
| ThePendulum | partition tables. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an | 19:32 |
| ThePendulum | msdos partition table. Is this a GPT partition table? | 19:32 |

| escott | !attitude | harris | 19:32 |
| ubottu | harris: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 19:32 |
| escott | harris, what does "rfkill list" say? | 19:33 |
| ThePendulum | FloodBot1: That was all in one line here...? | 19:33 |
| adamand | glioros, from the server, what happens if you do tracepath www.webfusion.co.uk? or any other site that you are "unable to access" | 19:33 |
| harris | 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN | 19:33 |
| harris | Soft blocked: no | 19:33 |
| harris | Hard blocked: no | 19:33 |
| escott | ThePendulum, so a gpt partition usually has a protective MBR that is meant to cover the entire disk. that is the first part of the parted complaint | 19:33 |
| ThePendulum | And the second part? | 19:34 |
| nemo | Hm. Another sucky thing. I'm running both system firefox and nightly firefox in separate profiles. This appears to completely befuddle Unity. | 19:34 |
| escott | harris, how about sudo lshw -C network | 19:34 |
| nemo | clicking the system Firefox icon focuses the nightly. And it will only show the nightly window, not the system firefox windows | 19:35 |
| nemo | I'm thinking the only way to fix will probably be to use alacarte to make a separate nightly firefox launcher | 19:35 |
| escott | ThePendulum, you never pasted the second part (ie does parted show a partition layout or not) | 19:35 |
| nemo | *grumble*friggenunity*grumble* | 19:35 |
| ThePendulum | escott: What would you like me to paste? All GParted shows is 60GBs of unallocated space | 19:35 |
| harris | escott i pasted it here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1003559/ | 19:36 |
| escott | ThePendulum, so parted doesnt show a partition table at all? There is a tool gdisk that you might use to see what the gpt and mbr partitions look like | 19:36 |
| escott | !broadcom | harris | 19:36 |
| ubottu | harris: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 19:36 |
| ThePendulum | escott: GParted is able to recognize it has a GPT partitioning table, but that's about it | 19:37 |
| escott | harris, you probably just need to run "jockey-gtk" and install the broadcom drivers | 19:37 |
| nemo | escott: fwiw. didn't require reboot. path was still wrong. just took me a little bit to verify it due to workingaround/ranting 'bout the copy/paste flaw. | 19:37 |

| cody_ | what the heck... that was my son miss behaving... i apologize.. | 19:38 |

| ThePendulum | hairydog: Could you throw us a screenshot? | 19:48 |
| Captain_Proton | hairydog, that is a local address | 19:48 |

| trism | fabiobik: dpkg -L package_name; to list the files in an installed package | 20:02 |
| Captain_Proton | harris, is it a new install? | 20:02 |
| harris | jwhat do you mean | 20:03 |
| GunshipJelly | If i choose the option to use the windows installer to install ubuntu. Is ubuntu running within windows (meaning it'll run slower and have limitations vs a full clean installation) or is the computer essentially duel booting the two OSs...? | 20:03 |
| norbert_ | hey all, every time I reboot automounting stops working for a couple of days and then starts working again | 20:03 |
| trism | mib_mib: which version of ubuntu? and how do you know it is only installing 1.9.1? | 20:03 |
| Captain_Proton | harris, di you just install it or was it there before you touch it | 20:03 |
| OerHeks | GunshipJelly, yes, wubi is a nice tryout, but not the real ubuntu experience | 20:04 |
| ThePendulum | GunshipJelly: I am not sure at all, but I think it's running inside Windows | 20:04 |

| auronandace | GunshipJelly: if you have separate partitions, it is a dual-boot, if not then it is a wubi | 20:05 |

| GunshipJelly | i don't have a live cd. i just went to the ubuntu site and hit install ubuntu with windows. | 20:08 |
| Captain_Proton | harris, the install takes about 15 min, and if the boxes are check there internet will work after it done | 20:08 |
| ThePendulum | GunshipJelly: Create one, you may prefer to use a flash drive for it | 20:09 |
| auronandace | ThePendulum: no partitions is indeed rather bad | 20:09 |
| mib_mib | trism: i did sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1 and after it installs i check the version with ruby1.9.1 -v and it says its version 1.9.1 and not 1.9.2 | 20:09 |
| GunshipJelly | what i guess i want to know is if i can have a true dual boot without reinstalling windows. | 20:09 |
| ThePendulum | auronandace: Ubuntu won't recognize them because of some GPT issue | 20:09 |
| harris | ok | 20:10 |
| escott | ThePendulum, another thought. what does /proc/partitions say? | 20:10 |

| hairydog | ok I used sudo apt-get install nagios3 to install nagios, now how would I remove it? | 20:10 |

| ThePendulum | escott: Which, according to that file, seems to have multiple partitions as it indeed has | 20:12 |
| escott | ThePendulum, i would work to get gdisk installed. it should be able to correct any broken gpt setup you have | 20:13 |
| Captain_Proton | harris, if you are ok you can do it from the term very ez if not you will have to login as both of them and copy the home separately | 20:13 |
| ThePendulum | escott: I am trying to get it installed, somehow | 20:13 |
| harris | ok tell me the codes to do it from the terminal | 20:13 |
| AzizLight | guntbert: ok thanks, I won't actually use the gui, I use terminal vim, but apparently the gui is a dependency for janus. ... | 20:13 |
| guntbert | AzizLight: wait, if you want only vim for CLI there may be another one too | 20:15 |
| Captain_Proton | harris, sudo cp -R /home/ /mnt/usb device but if you are unsure do it through the gui far safer | 20:15 |
| Captain_Proton | harris, sorry sudo cp -R /home/ /media/usb device | 20:15 |
| guntbert | AzizLight: try vim :-) | 20:15 |
| escott | harris, Captain_Proton, you probably want to put a -a flag if you are doing that | 20:16 |
| BLeg | is there a way to disable internet but keep intranet via command-line? | 20:16 |
| harris | it says command not found | 20:16 |
| harris | escott what is a flag | 20:16 |
| escott | BLeg, change your dns to be the intranet dns, but a real solution is to block traffic at the gateway | 20:16 |
| AzizLight | guntbert: yeah I know I already install "just vim" ;) But I always get confused with the two versions of gvim | 20:16 |
| Captain_Proton | escott, harris true you wan to keep the permissions thank for the catch | 20:16 |
| escott | harris, archive (preserves permissions) | 20:16 |

| ThePendulum | escott: "Disk Utility" sees the partitions though, should I use that? | 20:19 |

| escott | ThePendulum, something is wrong either (a) a protective mbr is missing or (b) a mbr partition was written by a tool like fdisk that was unaware of the need to zero out the gpt structures, or (c) something else. gdisk is the only tool i know that will let you determine what and fix it | 20:20 |

| BLeg_ | Another question: I configured a LAMP install for 12.04. I'm able to access the server internally only via IP and not via hostname, even though I assigned my server a hostname... How can I configure that? | 20:21 |
| mythmon | is it possible to install just the man pages for a package? | 20:22 |
| guntbert | !hostname | BLeg_ | 20:22 |
| ubottu | BLeg_: Use hostname <somehostname> 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. | 20:22 |
| ThePendulum | BLeg_: Have you forwarded your router so it's accessible externally? | 20:22 |
| schultza | how do i rotate backgrounds images/wallpapers? | 20:22 |
| BLeg_ | I don't want it accessible externally | 20:22 |
| mythmon | i work on a lot of remote machines, and don't always have all the commands on my local system, but I would prefer to have the man pages locally. | 20:22 |
| ThePendulum | schultza: Use GIMP (a graphical processor) | 20:23 |

| Chuck_Norris | ye Gimp rules \m/-_-\m/ | 20:23 |
| ThePendulum | 2.8 is wonderful | 20:23 |
| schultza | gimp is a graphic editor... not a wallpaper rotater (multiple images on the background of the desktop) | 20:23 |
| ThePendulum | schultza: I am not sure what you mean | 20:23 |
| Chuck_Norris | gimp can import and use plugins from Photoshop and can import imges from Photoshop anda Corel Pant Shop Pro | 20:24 |
| schultza | i want my background to change pictures once in awhile without my have to lift a finger (after setup of course) | 20:24 |
| escott | schultza, you could write one fairly easily. just a bash script that calls out to gsettings to set the wallpaper and then sleeps | 20:24 |
| guntbert | ThePendulum: he apparently wants it to automatically change the wallpapers one by one (picture rotation) | 20:24 |
| BLeg_ | ThePendulum: I only want the system accessible internally. Right now, other local machines are only able to access the server if they know the IP... I want to use the hostname of the machine | 20:24 |
| escott | BLeg_, run a local dns on your router | 20:25 |
| escott | BLeg_, either that or make custom entries to /etc/hostname on every computer | 20:26 |
| harris | if i backup will lose the lens | 20:26 |

| ActionParsnip | harris: read what ubottu said. Those cheap broadcoms are easy to install | 20:57 |
| harris | can you personally help me | 20:57 |
| auronandace | ActionParsnip: he wants you to do it for him, hold his hand, that sort of thing | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | buhman_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=lsblk&mode=exactfilename&suite=precise&arch=any | 20:57 |
| buhman_ | ActionParsnip: that's precise | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | buhman_: you need search IN the packages, its not a package name | 20:57 |
| escott | ActionParsnip, make sure you get a percentage of the fees he is charging his client | 20:58 |
| buhman_ | ActionParsnip: if you look at the url that I pasted, that's /exactly/ what I did | 20:58 |
| escott | buhman_, try apt-file | 20:58 |
| buhman_ | ActionParsnip: our query strings are identical, with the exception being that I'm searching in the correct release | 20:58 |
| buhman_ | escott: returns nothing | 20:59 |
| DayDreamX | psichas: But dist-upgrade just upgrades packages. How can I use that to get a previous version? | 20:59 |
| escott | buhman_, you installed apt-file and it doesn't find lsblk | 20:59 |
| buhman_ | DayDreamX: apt-pinning | 20:59 |
| OerHeks | buhman_, so .. you need the manual of lsblk ? | 21:00 |
| buhman_ | DayDreamX: you can put a priority of >1000 that matches the packages/repositories/versions you want | 21:00 |
| harris | why are broadcoms cheap | 21:00 |
| buhman_ | DayDreamX: then when you dist-upgrade, it will downgrade you to those versions (provided what you asked for is actually sane) | 21:00 |
| buhman_ | harris: because broadcom hates you | 21:00 |
| buhman_ | OerHeks: I need lsblk itself | 21:00 |
| harris | why are they cheap | 21:00 |
| ActionParsnip | buhman_: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386/util-linux/2.17.2-0ubuntu1.10.04.2 | 21:00 |

| OerHeks | buhman_, found it here > http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/lsblk.8.html | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: they are, they are cheap to make and so forth, so they get put in lots of systems | 21:01 |

| psichas | DayDreamX, http://askubuntu.com/questions/138284/how-to-downgrade-a-package-via-apt-get | 21:01 |
| buhman_ | it certainly, according to dpkg, doesn't provide lsblk | 21:01 |
| buhman_ | OerHeks: perhaps you misunderstood me when I said it wasn't the manpage I was looking for | 21:01 |
| buhman_ | rather a package that provides the lsblk binary | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | buhman_: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/62538739/util-linux_2.17.2-0ubuntu1.10.04.2_i386.deb is on that page..... | 21:02 |
| OerHeks | buhman_, read it, it tells you where you can find it | 21:02 |
| buhman_ | ActionParsnip: what is on that page? | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | buhman_: the link to the deb file | 21:02 |
| buhman_ | why would I want the deb file? | 21:02 |
| buhman_ | util-linux DOES NOT provide lsblk | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | buhman_: to install on Ubuntu, to get the lsblk command | 21:03 |
| buhman_ | I don't know where you got that idea | 21:03 |
| buhman_ | ActionParsnip: false | 21:03 |
| OerHeks | buhman_, oh you don't want the deb to extract that tool? | 21:03 |
| OerHeks | awesome | 21:03 |
| buhman_ | ActionParsnip: your own packages.ubuntu.com itself says that that package doesn't provide lsblk | 21:03 |
| escott | buhman_, there is no point yelling at us. we don't know any better than you do where it can be found. everything we have seen says its in util-linux. we don't know why its not there. | 21:03 |
| buhman_ | escott: no, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=lsblk&mode=exactfilename&suite=lucid&arch=any in fact says it doesn't | 21:04 |
| buhman_ | in addition, the sprunge link I pasted multiple times also indicates that that is false | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | buhman_: its not mine | 21:04 |
| harris | so i did what the first part of the website said and it did nothing | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | buhman_: I suggest you report a bug | 21:04 |

| escott | !checkinstall | nulldev buhman_ | 21:06 |
| ubottu | nulldev buhman_: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 21:06 |

| ghilder | prova | 21:06 |
| nulldev | escott :) yeah been that long since I had to uninststall after compiling I forgot checkinstall I mostly use emerge these days though | 21:07 |
| trism | buhman_: lsblk wasn't added to util-linux until 2.19, while lucid only has 2.17 | 21:07 |

The thing is, there are 2 packages that need to have the very same version. If I include them, I have to downgrade even more packages. Finally, I'm getting to a point where I would install libwbclient0, samba, samba-common, samba-common-bin and smbclient with version 2:3.5.11~dfsg-1ubuntu2. At the | 21:09 |
| DayDreamX | same time, Ubuntu says that 20 or so packages with lib* are not needed anymore and 13 packages are to be deinstalled. Is that really the correct way? | 21:09 |
| escott | DayDreamX, there really isnt a correct way to downgrade programs or pin them. you just have to deal with the problems you create | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | thats gonna make a big mess | 21:10 |
| psichas | eh, try centOS, and you'll like ubuntu ... :D | 21:11 |
| liznevada | does ubuntu create a GPT Partition table when you use the "Full Disk" option? | 21:11 |

| ThePendulum | escott: All I know is that there's a small Windows system partition of about 100MB, and a huge 60GB NTSF partition with Windows on it | 21:23 |
| escott | ThePendulum, I dont remember the options in gdisk, but there should be one to print the mbr partition table, and (maybe in the advanced menu) to print the gpt table | 21:23 |
| sirriffsalot | What will 2.40Ghz be when I want to write the entire value in numbers when setting it as a value in a terminal? 240000? | 21:23 |

| sirriffsalot | Or 24000? | 21:23 |
| harris | there are to many people here | 21:23 |
| h00k | ThePendulum: the small partition is required by Windows, if that helps | 21:23 |
| ActionParsnip | jarray52: np man, dead handy site :) | 21:23 |
| h00k | harris: that message explains it :) | 21:23 |

| h00k | ubottu: tell harris about pm | 21:23 |
| ubottu | harris, please see my private message | 21:23 |
| escott | ThePendulum, "h" or "?" should print the options | 21:23 |
| liznevada | escott nope, no grub_bios, just /dev/sda1 (which i think is the root partition), sda2 (is a swap part) and (sda3, which must be /home) | 21:24 |
| jarray52 | ActionParsnip: I typically use 'sudo aptitude search psyco' or commands like it. In this case, it didn't work. | 21:24 |
| zeidoz | sirriffsalot: 2400000000 i think | 21:24 |
| harris | actionparsnip | 21:24 |
| harris | what was that code supposed to do | 21:24 |
| ThePendulum | escott: How should I use this 'h'? | 21:25 |
| sirriffsalot | zeidoz: If you're kidding I really would appreciate you didn't mate... | 21:25 |
| escott | liznevada, assuming it is a bios boot the absence of a grub_bios partition on a bios+gpt system would prevent the boot. so that would be step 1. make a small partition (basically any free space will do) and give it a flag of grub_bios | 21:25 |
| escott | ThePendulum, just type "h[ENTER]" and see what the menu options are | 21:25 |

| falematte | Hi all, i have installed Ubuntu 12.04 with restricted 64 Bit. Flash worked fine. Then i installed adobe flash plugin and i now i get freeze in flash privacy enu for camera. How to restore the initial settings? | 21:29 |
| sirriffsalot | zeidoz: I suppose so... | 21:29 |
| sirriffsalot | zeidoz: do "man cpufreq-set" and see | 21:30 |
| ThePendulum | escott: I just pasted the output of that... | 21:30 |
| auronandace | harris: man modprobe | 21:30 |
| harris | what | 21:30 |
| zeidoz | sirriffsalot: i don't have it installed, but dropping three zero's sounds right then | 21:30 |
| h00k | Vilemaxim: that may be something you'd want to do on a switch, but I'm not sure how you'd set that automatically. I only know that you could manually set static routes for different networks | 21:30 |
| sirriffsalot | zeidoz: whaat?:D | 21:30 |
| escott | liznevada, in a bios+gpt system there is no space between the end of the mbr (which does exist) and the gpt table for grub stage 2. you must have a grub_bios flagged partition for grub to install its stage 2 files | 21:30 |
| escott | ThePendulum, gdisk will give a different set of outputs than parted (i assume) | 21:31 |
| Vilemaxim | h00k, I'm not looking for how to do it... I'm already doing it. I just want to know how to detect which one it is using. ip router show always shows both regardless | 21:31 |
| ThePendulum | escott: I'd like to know what option to choose... | 21:31 |
| harris | is there an ubuntu support number | 21:31 |
| Biblioclasta | sirriffsalot, 2.4Gh =2400Mgz =2400000Kh< = 2400000000hz | 21:31 |
| harris | nobody is helping me here | 21:31 |
| h00k | Vilemaxim: gotcha. Unsure. | 21:31 |
| escott | ThePendulum, I would not choose any option. I would Ctrl-C out of that | 21:31 |

| ThePendulum | escott: That just starts gparted and shows me the sda drive | 21:32 |
| harris | that didnt do anything | 21:32 |
| zeidoz | isn't phone support included in a support contract? | 21:33 |
| harris | what support contract | 21:33 |
| ActionParsnip | zeidoz: if you pay, yes | 21:33 |
| harris | action parsnip | 21:33 |

| zeidoz | harris: http://www.ubuntu.com/business/desktop#services | 21:33 |

| harris | parsnip that didnt work | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: do you have a switch to enable / disable the device | 21:34 |
| escott | liznevada, if you dont use bios+gpt then why do you have a gpt disk? | 21:35 |

| zeidoz | sirriffsalot: \o/ = happy for you | 21:35 |
| sirriffsalot | zeidoz: looked more like a "lol"...:P | 21:36 |
| escott | ThePendulum, you could try it without "sudo" as you won't be able to hurt anything, but i doubt it will even work then | 21:36 |
| zeidoz | sirriffsalot: it's supposed to be a person with their hands in the air | 21:36 |

| ThePendulum | escott: nope | 21:36 |
| harris | ActionParsnip, yes and it is turned to the enable side but it is still orange it is supposed to be blue when turned on | 21:36 |
| harris | did that work | 21:36 |
| liznevada | yeah right now i have a gpt disk cuz the godd****** ubuntu installer create a gpt table after i select "use entire disk" option, and that (use entire disk) was my last resort after 11 manual installation with no grub | 21:37 |

| liznevada | and i was sure the disk were mbr when i set the partition in gparted. | 21:38 |
| chrislu5tic | when I upgraded to 12.04 my laptop did the same thing, I did a fresh install and it worked after that. | 21:39 |

| harris | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1003778/ | 21:41 |
| escott | ThePendulum, you could follow this. using sfdisk to backup the mbr for restoration and then picking the gpt partition (gdisk will convert) http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/wipegpt.html | 21:41 |
| liznevada | man, i guess this laptop doesnt like floss software, cuz mint and debian suffer from the same issue aswell, no grub atfer installation | 21:42 |

| falematte | Hi all, i have installed Ubuntu 12.04 with restricted 64 Bit. Flash worked fine. Then i installed adobe flash plugin and i now i get freeze in flash privacy enu for camera. How to restore the initial settings? | 21:42 |
| escott | liznevada, i suspect that whatever tool you used did not zero out the gpt structures. so you are in the same boat as ThePendulum. the installer keeps creating a gpt table because it sees gpt structures | 21:42 |
| escott | liznevada, in your case I would just install gdisk and erase the gpt structures (since you know you dont want them) and then create an mbr partition | 21:43 |
| harris | ActionParsnip, | 21:44 |
| liznevada | escott i told you the gpt were created by the installer on the last installation, but how you explain the past installations and more importantly the first one (when the laptop has the original SO, windows), all those installations were manual, creating the partitions in gparted. | 21:44 |
| ThePendulum | escott: Now should I be keeping the GPT or the MBR? | 21:45 |
| liznevada | nevermind. i gonna erase the disk with one of those tools tinfoil hat paranoids use. | 21:45 |
| ThePendulum | Wait, it will convert or something? | 21:46 |
| ankush | is it possible to run microsoft word in ubuntu? | 21:46 |
| escott | ThePendulum, if you backup the mbr partition you could you can select "use the gpt partition" in the gdisk menu. if it looks wrong use gdisk to erase the gpt structures, and then restore the mbr table you backed-up | 21:46 |
| chrislu5tic | it's possible to run microsoft office, | 21:46 |
| ankush | @chris: great to know that. Can you help me how to do that? | 21:47 |
| ThePendulum | escott: But then it will only have the MBR table, while I understood only GPT tables will work with UEFI | 21:47 |
| liznevada | ankush, yeah, you need winetricks and install some stuff regarding MSXML but yeah it runs | 21:47 |
| escott | ThePendulum, in that case after you restore the mbr tables, use gdisk to convert the mbr table to a gpt table | 21:48 |
| harris | ActionParsnip, are you still here | 21:48 |
| ThePendulum | Ah | 21:48 |

| harris | i have been here for 3 hours | 21:50 |
| harris | this is absoultly ridiculas | 21:50 |
| diddledan | stueng: you could try /etc/grub.d/40_custom followed by `update-grub` which runs the scripts in the grub.d to generate the grub.conf used at boot | 21:50 |
| harris | !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 21:50 |
| escott | ThePendulum, hopefully you wont have to go through all that and the gpt structures will be the ones you want | 21:50 |

| MonkeyDust | lattera gcc is beyond me, but start from the beginning, what have you tried before you came here for advice? | 21:52 |

| ThePendulum | escott: Oh wait, Gparted now sees Windows | 21:52 |

| Benxyzzy | MonkeyDust: How would I do that? Does my local PC need to be listening on some port to accept the pipe from the remote server> | 22:14 |
| vlt | stueng: What is technically “running” is the kernel of your host system. But you can run many programs from the chroot directory. It gets complicated with things like X server though … | 22:14 |
| lattera | is there a separate channel for those who write code in ubuntu? | 22:14 |
| stueng | vlt, ok I think virtualbox is more like what I need | 22:15 |
| vlt | stueng: In most cases I use this debootstrapped system to run it on virtualised systems (XEN in my case). | 22:16 |
| MonkeyDust | Benxyzzy the syntax is (example) : df -h|tee blah -- it executes df -h and puts the output in a file called blah | 22:16 |
| lattera | so there's not a single C developer here? | 22:17 |
| MonkeyDust | lattera try #c or #c++ | 22:17 |
| Benxyzzy | MonkeyDust: But the df command will be executing on the remote server and I need the file blah to turn up on this PC rather than over there. | 22:17 |
| lattera | MonkeyDust: the question is not related to C, but related to C on Ubuntu | 22:17 |

| Guest6424338 | Hi dudes. I'm wondering if there's an easy in Linux/Ubuntu to send files from one machine directly to the other through the internet. I was thinking of doing it via Skype, but there must be some application that does this... | 22:38 |
| Guest6424338 | *easy way | 22:39 |

| Guest6424338 | liznevada, I'm looking for something whose only purpose is to send files from one machine to the other (without storing). | 22:39 |
| liznevada | beats me then | 22:40 |

| harovali | hi, I'm trying to set up un running my SCX-4623f Samsung printer. I already got the Unified driver , version 1.10 , which I think is the last one available (propietrary). However, when I tell cups to add a printer, the printer does not get detected (however as a scanner it was detected well by xsane). What should I do to cups.conf f.i., in order to force the printer detection ? | 22:42 |
| sean__ | Guest6424338, filezilla sftp | 22:43 |
| diddledan | Guest6424338: you need to know the "address" (ip or domain) of the target computer and that computer needs to be running an sshd (`apt-get install openssh-server`) | 22:43 |

| === david__ is now known as arooni-mobile | ||
| joshbeitler | Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have | 22:44 |
| diddledan | of course, if your target is running windows then scp is probably going to be a pain to get going due to the lack of easy sshd setup on windows | 22:44 |

| arooni-mobile | hi folks i am doing the dpkg get/set selections jazz to get the new programs on ubuntu... but for some reason... i'm gettin massive conflicts (moving from ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 on the same 64 bit system). ... any ideas on what to do? | 23:24 |
| harris | ActionParsnip, it did not work | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: ok | 23:24 |
| Petskull | I want to reach files on a USB drive (always on/connected) via ftp | 23:25 |
| harris | do you no anything else | 23:25 |
| Petskull | I tried ln to make symlinks | 23:25 |
| Petskull | but they don't show up in the ftp | 23:25 |
| ninux | @arooni: what version do u try to install? | 23:25 |
| Sanjuro | whats a good tool to shrink the ext4 ubu12 is installed to? | 23:25 |
| harris | ninux, check your pm | 23:25 |
| Petskull | then, of course, ln -d to a usb drive failed | 23:25 |
| Petskull | any ideas? | 23:25 |
| harris | ActionParsnip, what else should i try | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: not me, maybe others can advise | 23:25 |
| ninux | what is "pm"? | 23:26 |
| harris | does anyone no how to fix ubuntu 12.04 network problems | 23:26 |
| harris | in the left corner | 23:26 |
| Sanjuro | ill try gparted | 23:26 |
| harris | does anyone know why in my network gui there is not a button that says enable wireless | 23:27 |
| jagginess | Sanjuro, gparted requires Xserver, parted is avail on cli | 23:27 |
| jagginess | Sanjuro, best is to use gparted live cd .. | 23:28 |
| celthunder | harris: what gui are you in is the kernel module for your wireless modprobed in is there a wirelless device | 23:28 |
| Sanjuro | I'm running lxde | 23:28 |
| Petskull | I'm guessing no | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Sanjuro: you'll need to boot to liveCD to resize partitions. It needs to be unmounted to be manipulatable | 23:28 |
| Sanjuro | yep just realized heh | 23:29 |
| OerHeks | harris follow this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide else you have installed things you don't remember, maybe fresh install is a good start | 23:29 |
| harris | how do you tell what broadcom i have in terminal | 23:29 |
| jagginess | Sanjuro, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: sudo lshw -C network | 23:29 |
| celthunder | harris: lshw | 23:30 |

| foobArrr | why are there 3 floodbots? | 23:31 |
| harris | OerHeks, it is not an adapter | 23:31 |
| Beos | anyone know anythin about the ATI driver, X-Video Bitstream Acceleration (XvBA), designed by AMD for its ATI/AMD Radeon. | 23:32 |
| harris | does anone have a BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN wifi card | 23:32 |
| Beos | is it stable | 23:32 |
| harris | or know anything about it | 23:32 |
| OerHeks | the howto applies to your "non adapter" bcm43xx too harris | 23:33 |
| mwelsh | Any ideas on my flash issue anyone? | 23:33 |
| harris | ok | 23:33 |
| jagginess | Beos, i think i once read that xvba is used if you're having video problems | 23:33 |
| Beos | o | 23:33 |
| jagginess | Beos, if you're having video problems, you may want to check out xvba ( i believe it's amd/ati true ) | 23:34 |
| Beos | i thought it was a newer high performance driver | 23:34 |
| jagginess | Beos, i believe one xvba edition is available in the repos.. | 23:35 |
| Beos | yes, is it an add on for fglxr | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | mwelsh: use a pastebin so we can see the text please | 23:35 |
| Beos | X-Video Bitstream Acceleration (XvBA), designed by AMD Graphics for its Radeon GPU and Fusion APU, is an arbitrary extension of the X video extension (Xv) for the X Window System on Linux operating-systems | 23:36 |
| Beos | wiki | 23:36 |
| sirriffsalot | Hey, an earlier version of linux on a 12.04 isn't getting a higher resolution option than 1600x1200 while the newest one does... | 23:36 |
| sirriffsalot | This happened after a nvidia driver install | 23:36 |
| jagginess | Beos, "In November 2009 a XvBA backend for Video Acceleration API (VA API) was released,[3] which means any software that supports VA API will also support XvBA.[2]" | 23:37 |
| jagginess | Beos, (wikipedia on xvba) | 23:37 |
| Beos | i have fglxr install, will i get better perfromance if i have both installed | 23:37 |

| ninux | tty0 to USB? any ideas? | 23:41 |
| nulldev | mwelsh yeah whatever your installing has a dependency on the older version of flash | 23:41 |
| sirriffsalot | OerHeks: =(? | 23:41 |
| harris | can someone help mwe | 23:41 |
| harris | me | 23:41 |
| nulldev | that you have installed | 23:41 |

| mwelsh | nulldev: So I need to install the older version of flash, then the newer version? | 23:42 |
| john__ | hi, what's going wrong with the latest flash plugin, every time i use it my desktop env crashes and it takes me to login prompt. i use ubuntu 12.04 with gnome shell | 23:42 |
| harris | when i type in the code sudo lshw -C network it says my network is unclaimed | 23:42 |
| jagginess | !flash | 23:42 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 23:42 |
| Gyro54 | Can anyone help with the menus on Gnome 3. I don't have a shutdown option? | 23:42 |
| sirriffsalot | OerHeks: I'm on one of the older kernel versions via grub boot, cause the newest one crashes my usb devices when I try to add one... But the 0.23-generic one doesn't | 23:43 |
| trism | Gyro54: in gnome-shell? hold alt when the menu is open | 23:43 |
| nulldev | mwelsh to get that package to work yes but that will probably break alot of things as your version is newer. Best thing would be to chroot your apt db but bit beyond support in here | 23:43 |
| sirriffsalot | OerHeks: but after a nvidia update on the newest one I only get the 1600x1200 on the old one | 23:43 |
| OerHeks | harris 'Unclaimed' typically means no driver has attached to it. | 23:43 |
| OerHeks | sirriffsalot, {current] ? | 23:43 |
| Gyro54 | trism: That was so easy!!! Thanks | 23:43 |
| mwelsh | nulldev: thanks for your help, I guess I'm gonna read some FAQs and go from there. | 23:44 |
| sirriffsalot | OerHeks: ? | 23:44 |

| OerHeks | sirriffsalot, [current] recommended nvidia ? | 23:45 |
| casey9 | help test | 23:45 |
| Guest91781 | legend2440: I think a good idea would be to file a bug report | 23:45 |
| casey9 | you mean in shell | 23:45 |
| ninux | minimalistic ARM server wiht no IO except for ethernet and USB. how can i send tty0 to USB? | 23:45 |

| OerHeks | harris, you already tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx so i don't know what you should do | 23:46 |
| OerHeks | so many suggestions, nothing worked | 23:47 |
| sirriffsalot | OerHeks: hang on, did an update and I have to reboot, maybe some kernel updates were missing | 23:47 |
| sirriffsalot | Brb:) | 23:47 |
| harris | if i uninstall and reinstall i want everything i did to my apps on the new ubuntu | 23:47 |
| nulldev | casey9 it tests a vaeriable | 23:47 |
| legend2440 | everytime I open Network>Channels xchat freezes and I have to kill it and restart it. Can someone recommend an alternate irc app? | 23:47 |
| casey9 | tests for what? | 23:48 |
| nulldev | variable* | 23:48 |
| nulldev | it tests its validity iirc | 23:48 |
| ninux | @legend2440: try irssi | 23:48 |
| legend2440 | ninux, ok thanks | 23:49 |
| casey9 | if it is false will it stop there and not run the rest of the script? | 23:49 |
| jagginess | casey9, #bash | 23:49 |

| jagginess | ninux, tail -f <source> <target> | 23:52 |
| nulldev | casey9 I have a script to monitor mysql which can be modified to monitor apache etc but not power sorry | 23:53 |
| casey9 | i added command to save to a file to see if its runnig and it doesn't seem to be running the script | 23:53 |
| ninux | jagginess, ok thanks ill check that | 23:53 |
| casey9 | i'm thinking maybe the test command is stopping it | 23:53 |
| nulldev | casey9 can you pastebin this script | 23:54 |
| casey9 | yes | 23:54 |
| nulldev | cool | 23:54 |

| === luizcantoni is now known as cantoni | ||
| jagginess | ninux, did you try -f | 23:54 |
| harris | ninux, check your pm | 23:55 |
| casey9 | nulldev http://pastebin.com/Es2MAXkv | 23:55 |
| nulldev | looking | 23:55 |
| ninux | jagginess, ou sry forgot that, sounds good in manpage | 23:55 |
| sary | harris: no need to re-install .. look for the configuration line showing by lshw -C network .. is there a driver= | 23:55 |
| harris | hold on sary | 23:56 |
| jagginess | ninux, sorry i believe i missed something.. | 23:57 |
| jagginess | ninux, you can also use a pipe for the target... | 23:57 |
| harris | sary it says configuration: latency=0 | 23:57 |
| jagginess | ninux, tail -f <source> | cat -- <target> | 23:57 |
| ninux | jagginess, if i wanted to save the tty0 live to an SDHC over USB port will it also work only by using tail? | 23:58 |
| nulldev | casey9 whats failig in the script. I did think line 13 needs a = though | 23:58 |
| jagginess | ninux, i think i got the target wrong again.. apparently there's a way.. i think there's a package too for this.. | 23:59 |
| casey9 | well do i need the test there or should i just delete it | 23:59 |
| nulldev | test ${#DATE} should be test $={#DATE} | 23:59 |
| jagginess | ninux, tail -f <source> | cat -- >> <target> | 23:59 |
| jagginess | (perhaps that) | 23:59 |
| nulldev | no sorry thats wrong | 23:59 |
| harris | when i type the code lshw -C network | 23:59 |
| harris | it says network not claimed | 23:59 |
| nulldev | no its not lol | 23:59 |
| harris | and then | 23:59 |
