[00:05] <daguydatpwnz> i heard it's already pretty similir to irssi
[00:05] <harris> for lspci -nn http://pastebin.com/B5KFv30y
[00:05] <nulldev> if its a secure smtp I dont know but personally would set up a mail relay over ssh
[00:06] <casey9> well i'm useing ssmtp because i just need it to be able to send emails
[00:06] <HwH> Just installed emacs pyflakes pymacs python-mode yasnippet. This retarded weird DE on Ubuntu is not playing nice with emacs. .emacs.d should be under $HOME. At work we are on Debian with xfce.
[00:06] <casey9> info ssmtp
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> HwH: you can use xfce in ubuntu if you want
[00:07] <harris> how do you enable latency=0
[00:07] <nulldev> casey9 I know how to read man pages .. dude Im compiling  a Linux distro more than shuttleworths efforts
[00:07] <HwH> I need to drop auto-complete and some other plugins into .emacs.d/ on other GNU/Linux distros that should be under $HOME. Is it not on Ubuntu?
[00:08] <daguydatpwnz> actually i was thinking how can i host an irc server?
[00:08] <harris> ActionParsnip,  how do you configure latency=0
[00:08] <casey9> nulldev what i want to know if how do i get the script to use ssmtp and not mail
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> harris: no idea, or I would have replied earlier
[00:08] <nulldev> casey9 I dont know
[00:09] <HwH> This huge red desktop reminds me of a baboons ass!
[00:09] <nulldev> ssmtp is often used just use smtp and encryot your mails
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> daguydatpwnz: http://www.the-tech-tutorial.com/?p=709
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> HwH: then change the desktop, ranting about it does nothing
[00:10] <HwH> ActionParsnip I am going to use this as a headless. Just set up ssh. Less confusing that way.
[00:10] <daguydatpwnz> thanks ActionParsnip

[00:17] <Jester86_Mobile> it detects headphones when it first bots and won't redetect anything after that until it is rebooted again

[01:08] <piihb> Installed system. Neither the mouse/trackpad nor the keyboard work.
[01:09] <deadmund> piihb: did those things work on the live CD?  What if you press num lock, does the light change?
[01:11] <legend2440> B-)

[01:16] <arooni-mobile> hey folks... recently swapped out a bad laptop hard drive for a new one.  new one has been spinning for 10 hours (copying a bunch of files from my old box) and SMART data says it already has 4 bad sectors... is this normal?
[01:16] <deadmund> arooni-mobile: 4 bad sectors is so little you shouldn't worry
[01:16] <arooni-mobile> deadmund, whats bad
[01:16] <olskolirc> !flood
[01:16] <deadmund> arooni-mobile: drives develop bad sectors over time regardless of use
[01:17] <deadmund> arooni-mobile: 100's
[01:18] <deadmund> arooni-mobile: take a look at the smart data using the disk utility.  It gives some other numbers for perspective
[01:18] <Niebuhr> Hello. I'm having a problem with the Xserver, I guess -- I'm  being told at login that my graphical interfaces are not detected. I've been running 12.04, I guess with xfce fine for two weeks now and was behind on updates, so that can't be the problem. Any help?
[01:18] <Niebuhr> I am trying to spare reinstalling the whole system, which I would do in other cases to spare stress.
[01:19] <arooni-mobile> deadmund, all other smart data from disk utility sohws normal
[01:19] <arooni-mobile> or healthy
[01:19] <dlentz> Niebuhr, pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:19] <deadmund> arooni-mobile: what is the value / category that is not 'normal' ?
[01:20] <sary> Niebuhr: i'd start truobleshooting X , to determine where the issue coming from , then you might need to debug X and such.
[01:20] <arooni-mobile> deadmund, current pending sector count; 4
[01:20] <dlentz> deadmund, if it is a brand new drive, bad sectors are not good
[01:20] <strictland> So my xubuntu system is setup to shutdown via cron at a specific time everyday, then it wakes on lan everyday as well at a specified time. my problem is, a few weeks ago, my system would wake onlan but stop at a black screen with text saying something about "Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported ubuntu" .... I dont know what to do? Here are my boot info script results if that helps: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1004011/
[01:21] <Niebuhr> sary: right. I had typically used gentoo, and I'm far more experienced in that regard (perhaps I should switch back, use this as an impetus), but I will do some fishing around
[01:21] <Niebuhr> dlentz: don't have access to that at present, using Windows.
[01:21] <deadmund> arooni-mobile: ohh, is it new?  Maybe this is bad.
[01:21] <harris> hi can someone help me with my wifi problem
[01:21] <deadmund> arooni-mobile: I assumed we were talking about reallocated sector count
[01:22] <sary> right , as dlentz mentioned .. the X log should tell al lot , and also ~/,xsessions-errors .
[01:22] <arooni-mobile> deadmund, its a brand new drive
[01:22] <Niebuhr> I'm gonna do some tinkering. I hope I won't be back!
[01:22] <harris> sary
[01:22] <clausen> is it possible to mount a file system in two places (without nfs)?
[01:22] <clausen> unionfs seems promising, but it's not in ubuntu!
[01:22] <deadmund> arooni-mobile: It's fine to have some reallocated sectors.  I sector is remapped.  Then it becomes reallocated.  Since your have some stuck pending that is not good.  The pending count should go back to 0 and reallocated should increase
[01:22] <harris> what is the code that shows you what wifi card you have
[01:22] <deadmund> When a sector is remapped*
[01:23] <deadmund> harris: sudo lspci -k  (but it shows lots of other stuff too)
[01:23] <sarsaeol> harris: lspci?
[01:23] <deadmund> sarsaeol: sudo lspci !
[01:23] <sary> harris: lshw -C network , and lspci .
[01:23] <deadmund> harris: -k shows the drivers in use too, -C network is probs a good idea to limit the output
[01:23] <sarsaeol> deadmund: oops!
[01:23] <harris> sary go to your pm
[01:23] <arooni-mobile> deadmund, when does this remapping happen?  reboot?
[01:23] <sary> harris: Okay :)
[01:24] <deadmund> arooni-mobile: I believe it happens on the fly (instantly when a write fails).  I could be wrong though.
[01:24] <harris> sary
[01:24] <deadmund> arooni-mobile: It might be delayed if you're doing a really big write / read like you said you are.
[01:25] <harris> does anyone know a lot about wifi
[01:25] <arooni-mobile> deadmund, god damn it; its been a day and a half just to get this drive swapped data baked up etc
[01:25] <arooni-mobile> i hope i dont have to do this all over again
[01:26] <deadmund> arooni-mobile: It shouldn't take a day.5 just to copy a hdd
[01:26] <deadmund> harris: I do.
[01:26]  * deadmund proudly states that his hdd power cycle count is 5334
[01:26] <arooni-mobile> deadmund, well it takes longer if your old drive had a bunch of errors and kept crapping out; along with slow read speed
[01:26] <windbuntu> the only way i have been able to get buntu going on wifi if by having it hooked up to the internet by hard wire 1st, then ubuntu offers me the wireless driver automatically.
[01:26] <deadmund> arooni-mobile: ahh, yes.  Just copy user data :)
[01:26] <arooni-mobile> plus if you happen to be in another country and have to find the damn service center
[01:26] <angad> got a login loop in 12.04. can anybody help?
[01:26] <deadmund> windbuntu: that is the easiest way

[01:37] <sistla> zykotick9: mkxfs
[01:37] <imbezol> what's responsible for activating and mounting the LVM volumes? mine don't show up as devices because they need to have "lvchange -a y" run on them first and that's not happening automatically

[01:39] <deadmund> chrislu5tic: awesome!  What did you do to fix it?
[01:39] <Meatball_> hi everyone. Is this the official Ubuntu Chat?
[01:39] <nemo> Snowie_NOOBspert: I think they removed autohide of dock in most situations in 12.04 because it was annoying people
[01:39] <Snowie_NOOBspert> on a brighter note, fglrx now lets me run 3d desktop
[01:40] <nemo> Snowie_NOOBspert: there are plenty of annoying bugs in 12.04 but I thiiiink that what you're seeing is deliberate
[01:40] <deadmund> Meatball_: yes
[01:40] <Snowie_NOOBspert> nemo, really? ok. is there an option to enable
[01:40] <undecim> Meatball_: This is the official support channel
[01:40] <Meatball_> thanks
[01:41] <chrislu5tic> Installed build-essential, and libssl-dev,
[01:41] <chrislu5tic> removed  "werror" from cflags 2 line  in "commom.mak" with gedit,
[01:41] <chrislu5tic> and thennn  used the --ignore-negative-one command before mon0 and wlan0
[01:41] <chrislu5tic> to force it,  cracked wep network with less than 3000 unique iv's
[01:41] <FloodBot1> chrislu5tic: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:41] <deadmund> chrislu5tic: awesome!  Good job :)

[01:43] <deadmund> chrislu5tic: Yeah I like gnome3 better than unity.  Less buggy I think
[01:43] <undecim> chrislu5tic: My unity crashes every time I enable a plugin, lol
[01:44] <Snowie_NOOBspert> its open sauce. stability comes with time young padewan
[01:44] <chrislu5tic> I had to disable unity, enable cube, then reenable unity  or it wouldnt work.. now i can leave unity on while changing things
[01:44] <deadmund> haha

[01:50] <chrislu5tic> tell me... do you play the digireedoo ? hahhahah
[01:51] <harris> who knows about wifi
[01:51] <haux> I installed xubuntu 12.04 on a system with this board: http://www.logicsupply.com/products/kino_690s1  It is hooked up a television as a "media" pc. I can't get fglrx to work, and otherwise am having serious resolution issues. None of the resolutions I select fit the screen very well. They are either oversized, or too small. Any ideas?
[01:51] <sary> harris: from the Network Manager , or iwconfig .
[01:51] <piihb> Hey, can someone help me configure the trackpad and keyboard for my Dell?
[01:52] <Snowie_NOOBspert> harris, it should automatically remember it for you
[01:52] <Snowie_NOOBspert> chrislu5tic, nah, takes too much wind
[01:53] <harris> Snowie_NOOBspert,  thank you
[01:53] <chrislu5tic> harris your problem solved?
[01:53] <harris> chrislu5tic,  yes
[01:53] <chrislu5tic> wo0o0o0o  hours laterrr
[01:53] <Snowie_NOOBspert> harris, it can be hard to get used to not having to click apply or tick a box to remember something
[01:54] <piihb> Is anyone good with Linux/Ubuntu who could help me with a few things? :S
[01:55] <gry> just ask
[01:55] <Snowie_NOOBspert> piihb, lol, you are in the right place
[01:55] <deadmund> !ask
[01:56] <piihb> I installed the latest version of Ubuntu - 64-bit. First of all, my keyboard nor my trackpad work. I posted about it on the forums too, if anyone wants to check it out.
[01:56] <gry> what hardware you using?
[01:57] <piihb> I didn't do any of the things listed in the "Installation gotchas" on this page https://wiki.edubuntu.org/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops/Dell/XPS/15z Is that a problem?
[01:58] <piihb> Also, once all that gets worked out, I want to put some of the same problems I have on the Windows portion of my laptop on the Ubuntu portion. But I don't want to install all of them again. Is there a way to do that?
[01:59] <piihb> some of the same programs*
[01:59] <gry> it seems odd to use a edubuntu page, are you using edubuntu or ubuntu?
[02:00] <piihb> ubuntu
[02:00] <piihb> i just didn't see anything for ubuntu and i didn't think there would be many differences
[02:00] <Snowie_NOOBspert> anyone have a good wallpaper with all the new shortcuts for 12.04. google was no help. I have seen them for 11.10
[02:01] <piihb> and here's ubuntu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops/Dell/XPS/15z they're almost identical
[02:01] <gry> going through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops/Dell/XPS/15z#Hardware might help
[02:03] <Sargun-Work> Where can I get the ubuntu / debian installers source code?
[02:03] <piihb> Okay, I haven't done that yet. What is the grub boot line?
[02:03] <piihb> Is that in the terminal?
[02:05] <piihb> gry: Where do I find the grub boot line?
[02:05] <mega1> i have just installed server 12 and i get an error when i use apt-get update
[02:06] <haux> I installed xubuntu 12.04 on a system with this board: http://www.logicsupply.com/products/kino_690s1  It is hooked up a television as a "media" pc. I can't get fglrx to work, and otherwise am having serious resolution issues. None of the resolutions I select fit the screen very well. They are either oversized, or too small. Any ideas?
[02:07] <gry> piihb: I think the steps describe how to set that 'permanently' in a grub file, doing that and rebooting would work
[02:07] <WhitePelican> does anyone know where I can get help changing the font in google earth? I have googled or it with no success

[02:15] <gry> harris: few folks saw your question, I personally don't have an idea yet. please idle around

[02:28] <sary> piihb: No , the GRUB menu is where you can see and select to boot to either of your dual boot OS's .. so you are in GRUB a that point.

[02:32] <cwood> Good evening. I'm sorry in advance for being a sad git, but is there any repository that retains sun-java6-bin for 10.04?
[02:32] <zykotick9> cwood: if you want sun-java download it from oracle (it's been removed from all gnu/linux distros, or should have been)
[02:33] <cwood> Sadly that's the thing I want. I'm in a situation where compatibility>security, sadly.
[02:33] <zykotick9> piihb: e at boot menu.  or edit /etc/default/grub once in ubuntu (update-grub after change, to apply)
[02:34] <haux> I installed xubuntu 12.04 on a system with this board: http://www.logicsupply.com/products/kino_690s1  It is hooked up a television as a "media" pc. I can't get fglrx to work, and otherwise am having serious resolution issues. None of the resolutions I select fit the screen very well. They are either oversized, or too small. Any ideas?
[02:34] <piihb> zykotick9: So there's more than one way to edit it?
[02:34] <sary> SR: then , i'd startwith memtest and file system check .. if all is to the good , reconfigureing X would be next .
[02:34] <zykotick9> piihb: e at grub is only temporary
[02:34] <Prodigal> can someone walk me through installing a deb package
[02:34] <cwood> Prodigal: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[02:35] <mega1> does anyone know this Err http://security.ubuntu.com precise-security InRelease
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> Prodigal:  easy way 'sudo gdebi foo.deb'
[02:35] <mega1> i get it when i use apt-get update
[02:35] <piihb> zykotick9: Can I make it permanent through terminal commands?
[02:35] <zykotick9> piihb: yes, edit /etc/default/grub
[02:36] <Dr_Willis> of course double clicking on a deb should fireup the software center and install it
[02:37] <piihb> zykotick9: As a complete novice, what is etc/default/grub? A folder?
[02:37] <deadmund> piihb: it's a file
[02:37] <deadmund> piihb: folders end in /
[02:37] <diddledan> mega1, I think it's complaining that it can't find the directory "InRelease" in the repository - check your sources.list file is correct
[02:37] <SR> sary, I doubt it would be memory or file system. I can reinstall 10.04 and everything is fine. Did the test with 2 harddrive.
[02:38] <mega1> this is a fresh install
[02:38] <SR> sary, reconfiguring X not sure I understand what to do.
[02:38] <piihb> zykotick9 and deadmund: Thanks! I'll be back in a bit. I have to hop over to Ubuntu from Windows.

[02:43] <sary> SR: then my guess is , its releated to your graphic card .. to reconfigure x drop to a root shell from recovery mode , hen execute the following commands .. sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg , sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg , sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> pbx2:  saw a guide on that in the askubuntu.com sitee yesterday, someone else asked the same question
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> !controls
[02:43] <SR> sary, thank you, I'll try those.
[02:44] <Aprel> Dr_Willis is there a list of all the !commands ubottu has responses for?
[02:45] <arooni-mobile> can someone help me with compiz
[02:45] <pbx2> when I do alt + f2 and type gconf there is no gconf editor
[02:46] <pbx2> and when I click on anything nothing happens, for example gconftool
[02:46] <zykotick9> !bot | Aprel
[02:46] <zykotick9> pbx2: gconf was renamed dconf i believe
[02:46] <buhman> if I have crontab and file in cron.hourly like this: http://sprunge.us/AFeC then whatever is in cron.hourly should run hourly, yes?
[02:46] <buhman> because it doesn't seem to be running hourly
[02:47] <pbx2> zykotick9: yeah but nothing happens if I click on it after alt + f2
[02:48] <zykotick9> pbx2: sorry, i'm no help - i don't use gnome3.  good luck.
[02:50] <pbx2> I have Nvida GT 520, there are 2 drivers available ==> version current + post-release updates
[02:50] <piihb> Is there anyway to remove the Ubuntu partition from my laptop so I can re-install it?
[02:50] <pbx2> I switched to post-release updates
[02:51] <pbx2> is that the latest version?
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> i always go 'current' drivers first pbx2, ive never had post-release work for me (yet)
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> piihb:  the installer can reformat it and use it again. no need to 'remove' it
[02:52] <itsrachelfish> I just turned on a computer for the first time in 2 years
[02:52] <piihb> Dr_Willis: When I log in to Ubuntu, I can't do anything. I don't even have an option to shut down. I have to hold down the power button.
[02:52] <itsrachelfish> How do I upgrade from Jaunty to Pangolin?
[02:52] <pbx2> is post-release a newer version? The driver version numbers are not given in Additional Drivers tab.
[02:52] <piihb> There are no options in the top black bar, nor can I open any applications.
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> piihb:  try the rescue/recovery mode? if you want to reinstall.. boot the cd, and reinstall
[02:54] <piihb> Dr_Willis: How do I get to recovery mode? On start up, when I choose Ubuntu, I don't think there's any recovery option.
[02:54] <pbx2> Dr_Willis: the link you gave me is bug report...which has lots of comments...do you know how to move the close button in Unity?
[02:54] <jen> this is a small problem but it is quite annoying, adobe or what not will NOT allow me to use my cam for things like omegle
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> piihb:  should be a nmenu item in the grub menus for some recovery/rescue option.
[02:55] <pbx2> move it to the right that is
[02:55] <fluffyone> its quite annoying
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> pbx2:  saw a guide  on it - on askubuntu.com yesterday

[02:57] <pbx2> because I cannot find it...
[02:57] <piihb> Dr_Willis: There's no time for me to do anything between the time I choose Ubuntu and the time it takes to load.
[02:57] <sunitasethi> can someone help please? I have a usb ethernet adapter that I can see in lsusb and its light is on but i have no internet connection
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> and im not on a ubuntu pc right now where i can get to it
[02:57] <clausen> sunitasethi, did you retry disabling/reenabling networking?
[02:57] <clausen> (I find that helps!)
[02:58] <clausen> sunitasethi, anything interesting when you type "dmesg | less" ?
[02:58] <sunitasethi> thanks clausen but it is already disabled
[02:58] <clausen> sunitasethi, and when you enable networking?  (in the network icon thing on the top right corner of the screen)
[02:59] <buhman> if I have crontab and file in cron.hourly like this: http://sprunge.us/AFeC then whatever is in cron.hourly should run hourly, yes?
[02:59] <buhman> because it doesn't seem to be running hourly
[02:59] <clausen> sunitasethi, (i.e. the network manager applet)
[02:59] <arooni-mobile> can someone help me with my compiz segfaults?
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> buhman:  what is the cronjob doint? you did use full paths to the commands?
[03:00] <buhman> Dr_Willis: did you read my paste?
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> buhman:  i cant read web site//pasgtes
[03:00] <pbx2> its ctrl+alt+del to change gnome3 right? during the login screen...
[03:00] <sunitasethi> clausen: when i type dmesg | less my terminal jammed
[03:00] <buhman> Dr_Willis: if you can irc, you can read sprunge
[03:01] <buhman> curl http://sprunge.us/AFeC | less
[03:01] <Dr_Willis> buhman:  im on my cellphone using ssh, so no i cant..
[03:01] <clausen> sunitasethi, you can scroll up/down with arrows, and quit with q
[03:01] <buhman> Dr_Willis: yes you can
[03:01] <clausen> sunitasethi, you can skip to the end with "G"
[03:01] <Dr_Willis> pbx2:  change gnome3 to what? the login screen has a menu button to select what desktop to use
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> sunitasethi:  in less, q = quits, / = searches, see man less for more info
[03:04] <pbx2> Dr_Willis: from Unity to Gnome3 I think...because I need to get the close buttons to the right....
[03:04] <Dr_Willis> pbx2:  the login screen has a little round button next to the peoples name that s a menu to select the desktop
[03:05] <pbx2> ok thnx
[03:05] <sunitasethi> thanks Dr_Willis
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> they really need to make that much more obvious i guess
[03:06] <Dr_Willis> when minimal design runs over  ease of ussage
[03:07] <macdaddy> Good Evening all
[03:07] <mukti> I'm trying to figure out if I'm able to mount a drive, how do I figure out what group that drive is part of?
[03:07] <macdaddy> I was wondering if I could get some help with ubuntu and mounting a drive in win 7
[03:07] <Dr_Willis> mukti:  you mean usr/group type group?
[03:08] <Dr_Willis> user/group
[03:08] <sunitasethi> anyone know how to fix usb bug?
[03:09] <menturi> Hello.
[03:09] <macdaddy> Ubuntu - Win 7 64bit...
[03:09] <macdaddy> any idea's?
[03:09] <macdaddy> how do I mount a win 7 drive?
[03:09] <Dr_Willis> macdaddy:  you mean acces your ubuntu partition from windows?
[03:09] <oda> Every time I try to compile source I get this "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[03:09] <oda> "
[03:09] <Dr_Willis> you sort of just asked tghe oppositge of that. ;)
[03:10] <oda> I used cd to get the correct directory but it doesn't work
[03:10] <macdaddy> I want SABnzb to transfer finished articles to a Win 7 comp on my network
[03:10] <Snowie_NOOBspert> macdaddy, it doesnt automatically mount?
[03:10] <Snowie_NOOBspert> macdaddy, is it a partition on your system
[03:10] <Dr_Willis> macdaddy:  a networked machione? or a local drive?
[03:10] <mukti> Dr_Willis: If I insert a disk, how would I figure out what group it is part of so that I can make sure I'm part of the group if I wanted ot mount it?
[03:10] <celthunder> oda: chmod +x configure
[03:10] <mukti> I guess it would be one of the /etc/group groups
[03:11] <Dr_Willis> mukti:  i cant say ive ever really noticed disks having 'groups' theres a user option in fstab hat lets all users mount  a filesystem.
[03:11] <macdaddy> 2 comps, 1 w/ubuntu the other with win 7, I use ubuntu to download, and I want it to send the article to the win 7 comp over the network.
[03:11] <Snowie_NOOBspert> mukti, yeah, groups can mount or they cant. the drive doesnt really matter
[03:11] <Dr_Willis> mukti:  and i think theres some ntfs-3g 'group' for vfast/ntfs filesystems for fuse ussage
[03:11] <sunitasethi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1004104/ can anyone help????
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> macdaddy:  easiest/simplist way. install ssh on ubuntu box. use winscp on windows box.
[03:12] <oda> celthunder, "chmod: cannot access `configure': No such file or directory
[03:12] <oda> "
[03:12] <celthunder> oda: is there a configure script when you run ls
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> oda:  then you dont have a 'configure' script to run.
[03:12] <macdaddy> DR_Willis, do you have a guide or set of instructions, Im a noob
[03:12] <Snowie_NOOBspert> oda, take a step back, what are you trying to do exactly
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> macdaddy:  install ssh server on ubuntu, run winscp on windows.. is about as basic as it gets
[03:13] <Snowie_NOOBspert> ! info ssh
[03:13] <Snowie_NOOBspert> hope that works
[03:13] <Snowie_NOOBspert> nope
[03:13] <oda> Snowie_NOOBspert, Trying to install Java Runtime
[03:13] <oda> Snowie_NOOBspert, It's been extracted from a tarball
[03:13] <celthunder> oda: apt-get install jre or whatever
[03:13] <Snowie_NOOBspert> ok. so you need to chmod the file
[03:13] <Snowie_NOOBspert> if you ls, is there a file called 'configure;
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> !java
[03:14] <sunitasethi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1004104/ can anyone help????
[03:14] <bazhang> !helpme | sunitasethi
[03:14] <sunitasethi> ubottu sorry
[03:14] <bazhang> oda, read the java link above
[03:14] <Dr_Willis> and its a good idea to at least summarize yor ussie along with the paste
[03:14] <Dr_Willis> issue
[03:14] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[03:17] <Aprel> Has anyone used kdenlive 0.9 on Ubuntu and had problems getting audio?
[03:18] <Aprel> I've tried every audio setting and audio device...
[03:18] <Aprel> calling it in the terminal doesn't output any error message.
[03:20] <L3top> Aprel: what problem are you specifically having? During monitor you cannot hear audio?
[03:20] <Dr_Willis> if its running on ubuntu/unity/gnome - you should be using the 'pulse' audio sound device i would hink
[03:21] <Dr_Willis> 'alsa' device sould also work
[03:21] <L3top> Aprel: but watching the video you are trying to edit does play audio if you just open it?
[03:22] <piihb> I turned off my Bluetooth and it turned off my wireless too. I won't let me turn it on. Is there a way to fix this with the terminal? Also, when I go to the Windows partition, my wireless is always off, and I have to turn it on every time.
[03:22] <Aprel> I don't get any audio in the program on playback, but if I export a video with audio and play in in something else (like movie player) audio is fine
[03:23] <Dr_Willis> piihb:  'go to the windows partition'  = you mean boot to  windows?
[03:23] <Aprel> But absolutely no sound while editing :/
[03:23] <piihb> Yeah. I turned off the bluetooth on Ubuntu and now my wireless is automatically turned off every time I boot to Windows.
[03:23] <dingus> hello, i am going to install ubuntu on my laptop, but i'm not sure whether or not I should use the 32bit or 64bit version. my processor is a core i7, 64bit, but the ubuntu download page reccomends 32bit
[03:23] <L3top> Aprel: by export... what format are you exporting it to? what is the source file? It may be a codec... can you play the source with audio in something else?
[03:24] <dingus> should i just go with the 64bit version ?
[03:24] <Dr_Willis> dingus:  use 64bit if your hardware supports it
[03:24] <sunitasethi> hi L3top
[03:24] <zykotick9> dingus: if you need to ask, i'd say use 32bit
[03:24] <sunitasethi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1004104/ L3top does this make sense to you?
[03:24] <L3top> hello sunitasethi. You are going to ask me about this oddball USB ethernet call eh?
[03:25] <sunitasethi> L3top: it is challenging
[03:25] <Aprel> L3top: yes, source has sound in vlc, movieplayer, etc. I also tried exporting teh file i want to edit to raw codec. That plays fine in everything else, but feeding it back into kdenlive doesn't make audio available :/
[03:25] <dingus> Dr_Willis, zykotick9 thanks
[03:25] <naryfa> sunitasethi: good to see you here again lol
[03:25] <sunitasethi> hi naryfa
[03:25] <Aprel> And actually did that export with kdenlive itself
[03:26] <naryfa> sunitasethi: hi :)
[03:26]  * L3top doesn't let 15 dollar solutions cause him this much aggrivation... 
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> ive been toying wwith video editing in 'openshot' this week..  decent little app. :)
[03:26] <sunitasethi> naryfa: hi
[03:26] <sunitasethi> L3top:  good
[03:26] <piihb> Dr_Willis: Yeah. I turned off the bluetooth on Ubuntu and now my wireless is automatically turned off every time I boot to Windows.
[03:26] <sunitasethi> does this make sense to anyone ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1004104/
[03:27] <L3top> I would assume that it is a setting in kdenlive Aprel... I do not use kdenlive... so I cannot look through it. What is the source file type?
[03:28] <naryfa> sunitasethi: you still fight with that usb ethernet?
[03:28] <harris_> hi how do you add the tomboy lens to ubuntu 12.04
[03:28] <sunitasethi> naryfa: yes we never spoke before
[03:28] <L3top> sunitasethi: have you confirmed that this usb ethernet adapter is working in another OS?
[03:28] <naryfa> sunitasethi: we did, last night
[03:28] <d> hello
[03:28] <harris_> naryfa, are you still chatting about ethernet
[03:28] <vexaxv> hey guys i installed 12.04 on my wifes laptop and everything is good except the brightness is so low and i set it all the way up it wont change if i move the slider..
[03:28] <sunitasethi> naryfa: i am going to sell the adapter
[03:29] <vexaxv> anyone know how to fix that
[03:29] <naryfa> sunitasethi: good idea
[03:29] <harris_> hi guys how do install the tomboy len in ubuntu 12.04
[03:29] <sunitasethi> L3top: it is suppose work with windows xp
[03:29] <xangua> harris_: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/unity-tomboy-lens.html google is your friend
[03:29] <L3top> have you confirmed that specific one  in your hands does sunitasethi?
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> vexaxv:  often its a good idea to check the forums or askubuntu.com for the exact make/brand/model  of  laptop - and see if others have similer issues and possible fixs
[03:29] <harris_> xangua, what about grooveshark
[03:29] <Aprel> L3top: it's an flv. I'm going to give Dr_Willis' openshot a try.
[03:30] <piihb> Dr_Willis: What were you saying earlier about using recovery mode to reinstall, in a sense?
[03:30] <sunitasethi> L3top: it was when i bought it
[03:30] <ivanBliminse> hello.. I'm running docky on gnome 3.4.2, is there any reason the docklets disappear on computer restart or logout/login, or any solutions known?
[03:30] <zykotick9> vexaxv: does this happen to be a EEE netbook?
[03:30] <xangua> harris_: mmm it looks the ppa for tomboy lens is only for oneirc
[03:30] <Dr_Willis> piihb:  you normally use recovery or rescue mode to 'fix' a broken system
[03:30] <vexaxv> its a toshiba satelite l755
[03:30] <sunitasethi> L3top: but you never know
[03:30] <harris_> xangua,  well
[03:30] <Dr_Willis> tomboy has really fallen out of favor. ;(  i liked the app.. but never use it any  more either
[03:31] <sunitasethi> L3top: and i think this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1004104/ it may have worked
[03:31] <zykotick9> vexaxv: adding "acpi_osi=Linux" to grub might be worth a shot, e at grub menu to test.
[03:31] <vexaxv> zykotick9, how do i do that
[03:31] <L3top> that is why I am asking sunitasethi... usually if you get a "bad cable" query... something is wrong with the device... but not necessarily.
[03:32] <piihb> Dr_Willis: So how can I use that to fix my Bluetooth? Also, when I did recovery mode last time, I had to hold the power button on my laptop because I was staring a bunch of white text on a black background and nothing was happening
[03:32] <burnt> hey :) ... I upgraded to 12.04 from gnome classic, wow what a mistake, now cannot see the pannel in unity, in gnome classic (with effects) I cannot move, resize, minimize or close a window! ... I can only move windows in gnome classic without effects
[03:32] <sunitasethi> L3top: it is in excellent physical condition
[03:32] <burnt> has anyone else had any problems
[03:32] <Dr_Willis> piihb:  i dont know how you turned off your blooth.. try turning it back on he same way?
[03:32] <naryfa> burnt: welcome to unity
[03:32] <sunitasethi> L3top: the cable works with other ethernet ports
[03:32] <burnt> I dont use unity
[03:32] <burnt> its naff
[03:33] <sunitasethi> anyhow, good night
[03:33] <burnt> I use ubuntu with gnome classic
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> piihb:  recovery/rescue mode is the console.. so  its text ... you  enter commands
[03:33] <piihb> Dr_Willis: Didn't work. It should've been a simple click of a button, but it didn't give me the option.
[03:33] <burnt> naryfa, :)
[03:33] <harris_> does anyone know how to install the tomboy lens for ubuntu 12.04
[03:33] <naryfa> burnt: aah, sorry
[03:33] <burnt> hey its ok :)
[03:33] <blackmatrix_ny> hello folks...I have a 64 bit i5-2467M Dual-Core...would it be advisable to install the Ubuntu amd64 or the 32 bit version for intel ?
[03:33] <vexaxv> zykotick9, ??
[03:33] <L3top> vexaxv: can you raise the brightness with the fn + f? key ( on this laptop it is f8)
[03:33] <burnt> wish I could fix this
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> harris_:  if the ppd does not support 12.04 -  then you  would use the source. which may  not  work properly with the new versions of unity
[03:33] <harris_> does anyone know a lot about lenses
[03:33] <vexaxv> L3top, no..
[03:34] <Dr_Willis> blackmatrix_ny:  use 64bit os if your hardware supports it
[03:34] <vexaxv> L3top, i cant edit the brightness via keyboard or settings
[03:34] <zykotick9> vexaxv: i already said.  someone else will need to help you - sorry
[03:34] <vexaxv> zykotick9, its ok
[03:34] <sbattey2> burnt are you using the mate fork? try that
[03:34] <harris_> Dr_Willis, what is a ppd
[03:34] <xchatsegfault> My xchat seg faulted and now I can't open no programs.  I don't even get boot up sound - all programs won't respond.  Natty
[03:34] <Dr_Willis> !ppa | harris_
[03:34] <L3top> That is very strange... vexaxv.
[03:34] <vexaxv> L3top, it is..
[03:34] <naryfa> burnt: somebody complained about that yesterday, all they did was delete .x---somethin file
[03:34] <harris_> !ppa
[03:35] <vexaxv> L3top, only thing i can thing of is visual drivers but there working fine
[03:35] <piihb> Dr_Willis: There's no way I can go over to the 32-bit now that I already installed the 64-bit?
[03:35] <burnt> how can I initiate / run / load the side panel in unity from terminal?
[03:35] <Dr_Willis> naryfa:  .Xauthority :
[03:35] <naryfa> yeah!
[03:35] <harris_> Dr_Willis, how do i get that ppa
[03:35] <burnt> sbattey,  nah I just upgraded from update manager
[03:35] <Dr_Willis> piihb:  i always use 64bit.  if you want to go to 32bit.. you reinstggall
[03:35] <burnt> naryfa,  wish I knew what to del
[03:35] <Bulletrulz> can i duel boot lubuntu and windows 7 with a usb stilc
[03:35] <Dr_Willis> harris_:  someone said the ppa for it did not support 12.04 eaarlier
[03:35] <Curt`> Hello. I am trying to get my wireless working and am being unsuccessful (Dynex dx-wgpdtc; Broadcom 802.11; BCM4318). I
[03:35] <naryfa> burnt: Dr_Willis just said what
[03:36] <xchatsegfault> did anyone say my name?  I'm on irssi with no gui system :(
[03:36] <zykotick9> !broadcom | Curt`
[03:36] <piihb> Dr_Willis: Wouldn't that involve uninstalling first?
[03:36] <Curt`> I've been refering to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1604868 and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43_-_Internhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43_-_Internet_accesset_access
[03:36] <burnt> ah sorry
[03:36] <vexaxv> L3top, any suggestions?
[03:36] <Bulletrulz> !kubuntu
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> I think i spelt it right  .Xauthority
[03:36] <blackmatrix_ny> Dr_Willis, I'm not sure about the naming of amd64 which kind of looks like its specifically made for amd chips...would it support intel chips too ?
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> piihb:  the installer can reformat the hard drive.
[03:36] <Bulletrulz> !bohdi linux
[03:36] <harris_> Dr_Willis, how do i get the ppa
[03:36] <L3top> well... i would like some information from it... is it bright enough to use at all vexaxv?
[03:36] <bazhang> Bulletrulz, /msg ubottu
[03:37] <Dr_Willis> blackmatrix_ny:  totally wrong. amd64 is for any 64bit cpu -  intel or amd.
[03:37] <harris_> Dr_Willis,  to try it
[03:37] <vexaxv> L3top, yes infact it runs quite nice
[03:37] <vexaxv> L3top, but if you compare it to mine..oh yeah brightness is lowww
[03:37] <L3top> vexaxv: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[03:37] <Bulletrulz> can i insta,, lubuntu from a usb drive and keep wiindows
[03:37] <Curt`> I still seem to be unsuccessful: step 2 assumes it is listed under Additional Drivers, which i am not seeing (b43 - Internet access)
[03:37] <vexaxv> L3top, k now what
[03:37] <blackmatrix_ny> Dr_Willis, ok thanks, but they gotta fix that name though...totally misleading
[03:38] <L3top> vexaxv: if you can get on that laptop and get here so we can just copy paste back and forth... that would probably be easier
[03:38] <naryfa> Bulletrulz: you can
[03:38] <Bulletrulz> !help list
[03:38] <zykotick9> L3top: brightness issue with portables is often an acpi issue
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> blackmatrix_ny:  thats the name that has been used for several years for all 64bit versions by a great manu disrtos
[03:38] <bazhang> Bulletrulz, I told you to /msg ubottu  , please do so
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> blackmatrix_ny:  amd had 64bit chips out first
[03:38] <vexaxv> L3top, k ill be right back
[03:38] <harris_> Dr_Willis,  check your PM
[03:38] <L3top> zykotick9: you are very correct... I always forget that... this should probably be addressed with a boot parameter
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> blackmatrix_ny:  and from what i recall intel basically licensed the 64bit extensions..
[03:39] <vexaxv> L3top, jyssica@bubbles:~$ lspci -nn | grep VGA
[03:39] <vexaxv> 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Device [1002:9649]
[03:39] <blackmatrix_ny> Dr_Willis, I see...thanks
[03:39] <zykotick9> Dr_Willis: "amd had 64bit chips out first" not quite true - many ONLY 64bit CPUs before AMD's x86_64
[03:40] <harris_> how do you install the tomboy lens in ubuntu 12.04
[03:40] <vexaxv> L3top, im on her laptop :)
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> but those were not intel compat whish is what we are refering to. but its all being summarizedd  greatly. :) this  isent wikipedia
[03:40] <harris_> anybody
[03:40] <L3top> that isn't very helpful... you should update-pciids     in terminal... but as zykotick9 pointed out... this is probably an acpi issue completely unrelated
[03:40] <L3top> vexaxv: ^
[03:41] <Dr_Willis> harris_:  if the ppa does not exist for that release you use the source code..
[03:41] <vexaxv> L3top, whats the command to update it
[03:41] <harris_> Dr_Willis,  what is the source code
[03:41] <Dr_Willis> harris_:  you did try searching the repos to see if it was in the default repos? you checked askubuntu.com ?
[03:41] <Dr_Willis> !compile | harris_
[03:42] <L3top> I believe you will want to boot with --noacpi or something, but I will have to look it up vexaxv. One moment please
[03:42] <vexaxv> L3top, k
[03:42] <piihb> Dr_Willis: Thanks! I uninstalled. I'll install it again tomorrow with help so I don't screw things up next time haha :P
[03:43] <harris_> how do you search to see if it is in the repos
[03:44] <edwinkcw> what is the faster way to remove last file path in the command? e.g. After I type /usr/bin/jfskldfjkljfsdkjf, I would like to go back /usr/bin. Instead of using del, is there any better way?
[03:45] <Dr_Willis> edwinkcw:  bash has some keyboard shortcuts to delete last word.. but i cant rember them
[03:45] <edwinkcw> Dr_Willis: oh, I need them
[03:46] <Dr_Willis> check the  bash docs/tutorials :)
[03:46] <Dr_Willis> saw some bash command line keybinding  cheat sheet online once..
[03:46] <Dr_Willis> check out bash 'history' cheat sheets also. thst can save a lot of typing
[03:47] <Dr_Willis> i dont seem to use 5% of thebash features that are there...
[03:47] <Dr_Willis> Plus most of the keybondings wont work with me on my cell phone over ssh. :)
[03:48] <edwinkcw> I think the better way is to use ctrl left-arrow and then ctrl K
[03:48] <zykotick9> edwinkcw: did you find alt+d?
[03:48] <edwinkcw> zykotick9: not work..
[03:48] <shape> Hello, can someone please tell me why the program "sensors" is showing me these alarms? http://pastebin.com/cRg7sMWC
[03:49] <zykotick9> edwinkcw: works here?  http://www.aboutlinux.info/2005/08/bash-shell-shortcuts.html
[03:49] <edwinkcw> zykotick9: using ctrl+k is better
[03:50] <zykotick9> edwinkcw: if you want to delete to the eol sure
[03:50] <Dr_Willis> testing to see if ctrl-k works here.. la la la kkk  nope..
[03:50] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[03:51] <edwinkcw> zykotick9: oh...alt + backspace
[03:51] <vite> Hi I am stuck installing mailman, what key is the choose key to choose the language
[03:52] <Aprel> shape: it looks like a problem with the configurations of the thresholds. high = 0.0 C is obviously wrong
[03:52] <Dr_Willis> vite:  if its some text dialog box.. use tab and enter
[03:52] <shape> Aprel, yeah, so is it the program that is faulty?
[03:53] <vite> Dr_Willis its 12.04 server, pink screen and it does not choose it
[03:54] <BlackWeb> I'm testing out ftp with vsftp server, and on the client machine when I try to transfer a file it says Transfer Complete. then No Transfer to ABOR, any ideas?
[03:54] <Dr_Willis> vite: for most of the dpkg config dialogs, i belive you use tab to move around, arrow, space and enter keys
[03:54] <Aprel> shape: looking at sensors --help, it looks like you can supply a config file. My guess is yours got corrupted or was never set right by the program
[03:55] <BlackWeb> Which on the client machine then i can ls the directories just fine of the vfstp server but ya just doesnt want to transfer it
[03:56] <vexaxv> L3top, ever figure anything out?
[03:56] <shape> Aprel: I just ran sensors-detect again, and I got the same result.
[03:57] <harris> Anybody know why I cannot upload directories of files with ftp to my web root?
[03:58] <vite> oki doki will try
[03:58] <paulus68> trying to launch a setup with the ubuntu 12.04 alternate version, however when the setup gets to the point of formatting hd it keeps turning in circles, is it possible that this is caused by a hd failure? or do I need to search in a total different direction
[03:58] <robertzaccour> how do I make my USB webcam default?
[04:00] <Aprel> shape: hmm, I'm not sure how to fix this because I don't know how hardware communcates what the good thresholds are to the sensors program over pci
[04:00] <chip8874> I can only find too specific of examples on the internetz for this, but  how can I navigate/interact with a wepage that only uses javascript, from the shell? I would like to script the onClick of a div in a tabledata.
[04:00] <advanxer> i have cron job, but seem it never execute it. this is the syntax is 0 5 * * * /var/backup/backup.sh
[04:00] <bazhang> chip8874, hows that related to ubuntu
[04:00] <advanxer> is it correct ?
[04:00] <advanxer> i want the job to be executed at 5 am daily
[04:01] <chip8874> bazhang: its on the terminal
[04:01] <shape> Aprel: yep, I was just wondering if someone knew how it does that. I'm sure the computer is fine. Speedfan (in windows) says everything is fine. The computer is old anyway 1.6Ghz AMD sempron so even if it fries, w/e
[04:01] <Aprel> shape: but those values don't look like cause for alarm, contrary to what the sensors programs is flawingly stating
[04:01] <L3top> sorry vexaxv... I got pulled into another chat
[04:01] <bazhang> chip8874, whats on the terminal
[04:01] <shape> Apel, yeah, it's the thresholds that seem to be wrong. So automatically it considers it an alarm.
[04:01] <vexaxv> L3top, np so any idea?
[04:01] <chip8874> bazhang: I would like to know how to script that action with linux
[04:02] <bazhang> chip8874, try one of the java channels, perhaps
[04:02] <Aprel> shape: knowing that, then, perhaps it's just the old hardware implementing an old threshold-specifying interface...? (Sorry for not being more helpful)
[04:02] <BlackWeb> My problem with the ftp transferring, it works fine on a Windows machine as far as transferring goes its just my other linux box thats having problems
[04:02] <bazhang> !alis | chip8874
[04:02] <chip8874> bazhang: ok thanks
[04:03] <shape> Aprel, yeah, no worries. I was more curious than worried! Thanks anyway though, I appreciate it :)
[04:03] <Aprel> shape: np
[04:04] <chip8874> Ah, sorry to be off topic
[04:04] <shape> Aprel, btw I have another thing and let me know if you happen to know about it. The old computer, while it plays HD video in Parole smoothly, in VLC it doesn't. I tried turning harware acceleration on but it still does the same thing.
[04:05] <L3top> bazhang: how do you set noacpi? I am looking at kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r` root=/dev/hda1 acpi=off noapic          but I expect that is a bunch of nonsense...
[04:05] <robertzaccour> how do I make my USB webcam default?
[04:05] <L3top> apic... dangit
[04:06] <Aprel> shape: do you knwo the codecs the hd video files are using?
[04:06] <shape> Aprel h.256
[04:07] <hoang> Do you know ?
[04:07] <hoang> Configure Domain Controller On Centos
[04:07] <L3top> ok vexaxv: edit /etc/default/grub     and on the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=       add noacpi somewhere
[04:08] <shape> Aprel, sorry H.264
[04:08] <Harris> hi this morning i was told to type in two codes to activate my wifi and they worked but when i restarted it went away
[04:09] <vexaxv> L3top, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" thats what it currently looks like
[04:10] <Aprel> shape: h.254 is an insanely compressed codec. I wouldn't be surprised if the code behind vlc wasn't as efficient as parole's.
[04:10] <Harris> hello
[04:10] <L3top> vexaxv: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noacpi"
[04:10] <Harris> can someone help me
[04:10] <Dr_Willis> Harris:  check the history command to see what they were
[04:10] <bazhang> Harris, with what
[04:10] <Dr_Willis> Harris:  or the channel logs
[04:11] <paulus68> trying to launch a setup with the ubuntu 12.04 alternate version, however when the setup gets to the point of formatting hd it keeps turning in circles, is it possible that this is caused by a hd failure? or do I need to search in a total different direction
[04:11] <Harris> i know what they were
[04:11] <Harris> how do i make them stay
[04:11] <Aprel> shape: looking online, gstreamer is the backend for parole wheereas the FFmpeg project backs vlc
[04:11] <vexaxv> L3top, whats no acpi do
[04:11] <Dr_Willis> paulus68:  you could  use gparted to partion, and format them from outside the installer and watch for errors
[04:11] <shape> Aprel, Yeah. Thanks btw!
[04:12] <Harris> Dr_Willis, how do i make them stay
[04:12] <Dr_Willis> Harris:  if we knew what commands you are refering to...
[04:12] <paulus68> Dr_Willis: is there a way to launch gparted from alternate cd?
[04:12] <Aprel> shape: it's probably just a difference implementations that becomes appearnt on older hardware. But, yeah, vlc is so versatile for playing media that it's usually my go-to
[04:12] <Dr_Willis> Harris:  or toss them in /etc/rc.local and see
[04:12] <Harris> they are
[04:12] <Dr_Willis> paulus68:  i always use a gparted live cd.  the text based tool 'parted' can work from  the alt-cd's consoles i  think
[04:13] <paulus68> Dr_Willis: since I am not able to get into a live cd at the moment, might also be possible that I need to burn the image again
[04:13] <robertzaccour> how do I make my USB webcam default?
[04:13] <Harris> sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
[04:13] <Harris> sudo modprobe b43 Dr_Willis
[04:13] <Dr_Willis> Harris:  the install command just needs ran once.
[04:14] <Dr_Willis> Harris:  and you can set the module to autoload
[04:14] <Dr_Willis> !modules
[04:14] <shape> Aprel, of course. I use it on my other (good) computer, because it plays....Everything!
[04:14] <Harris> Dr_Willis,  how
[04:14] <Dr_Willis> what is the module autoload file.. /etc/modules i think
[04:15] <Harris> Dr_Willis,  it said permission dined
[04:15] <Dr_Willis> Harris:  linux basics.. to mess with system configs.. you need sudo rights
[04:15] <Dr_Willis> well ubuntu  basics. ;)
[04:15] <Dr_Willis> its also possible thst module has been blacklisted to keep it from auto-loading
[04:16] <Dr_Willis> you may  need to unblacklist it.
[04:16] <vexaxv> L3top, thank u it worked what did no acpi mean
[04:16] <Harris> Dr_Willis,  i am sudo
[04:17] <BlackWeb> When I try to transfer a file with ftp, using "get remotefile localdestination" then it Aborts, doing verbose then it says it cant open file, but on a Windows Box it transfers just fine, Any ideas?
[04:17] <L3top> It turned off the advanced configuration and power interface vexaxv.
[04:17] <Dr_Willis> Harris:  so add the module name to the end of the /etc/modules file
[04:18] <vexaxv> L3top, what does that have to do with brightness
[04:19] <vexaxv> L3top, i have one more issue and this time its on my laptop haha
[04:19] <L3top> The greatest drain on power on laptops is often the screen... it attempts to automatically change the settings. This works on a bunch of hardware, on some, it does not.
[04:19] <L3top> vexaxv: ^
[04:19] <robertzaccour> how do I make my USB webcam default?
[04:20] <tattoli> anyone in here have an x120e or might be able to figure out why i can get sound from both my headphone jack and hdmi but nothing from my speakers?
[04:20] <L3top> default what robertzaccour?
[04:20] <tattoli> im running 64 bit 12.04
[04:21] <Harris> how do i make it autorun Dr_Willis  what do i type the codes in
[04:21] <Dr_Willis> Harris:  the /etc/modules file is a text file you edit and add the modules you want to load to the list.
[04:22] <L3top> tattoli: have you looked at alsamixer? Just type alsamixer in a terminal, and see that the appropriate mixers have levels and are not muted (MM at bottom)
[04:22] <L3top> What is the other issue vexaxv?
[04:22] <vexaxv> L3top, well my issue is when i shut down my computer it hangs and 9/10 times i have to hold the power button
[04:23] <robertzaccour> L3top, there's a really cool webcam photo app from the Chrome Web Store and it uses the laptop's built in webcam instead of the USB one there's no option for that. Maybe I can somehow disable the laptop webcam?
[04:23] <UncleSlippyFist> hello all. first irc so i know very little
[04:24] <tattoli> L3top: nothing is muted in alsamixer
[04:24] <robertzaccour> L3top, that would probably work. Maybe there's a way to disable my integrated webcam
[04:25] <Harris> Dr_Willis,  i cant/ dont know how to open /etc/modules
[04:25] <Dr_Willis> Harris:  its a text file. use a text editor
[04:26] <Dr_Willis> !editor
[04:26] <Harris> where do i locate it
[04:26] <L3top> vexaxv: you might look through dmesg log and try to figure out what is hanging...  that log is no joke though. cat /var/log/dmesg
[04:26] <UncleSlippyFist> hey, I'm going to get a thinkpad T520 and istall ubuntu on it pretty soon.  Has anyone done this? Any issues?
[04:26] <Dr_Willis> Harris:  locate? the full path to the file ie /etc/modules
[04:27] <Dr_Willis> Harris:  gksudo gedit  /etc/modules
[04:27] <L3top> robertzaccour: I am not really sure how that would be done... depending on how the application detects things, I don't know how to ignore hardware in /dev.  It is possible you can unmount things udev automatically finds, but I honestly don't know
[04:28] <Dr_Willis> if you unload the module for a device - its /dev/ entry should also vanish
[04:29] <felipe__> is anybody else having problems when turning off their laptops. Mine doesn't shutdowns or restarts.
[04:29] <UncleSlippyFist> I have had no problems myself
[04:29] <Dr_Willis> felipe__:  can depend on the chipset/make/model of the laptop   often the forums or askubuntu.com have tweaks for specific models
[04:29] <vexaxv> L3top, i dont see anything
[04:30] <UncleSlippyFist> blue people in youtube videos anyone? really annoying
[04:31] <felipe__> Dr_Willis, I found nothing on the forums, I'll try askubuntu. but this has been happening to me since 11.10 before that it worked flawlessly
[04:31] <bazhang> UncleSlippyFist, full screen the flash, then turn off hw acceleration
[04:31] <Dr_Willis> UncleSlippyFist:  known bug. disable hardware acceleration  in flash settings can fix it. or use html5 option on youtube
[04:31] <L3top> vexaxv: Unfortunately I can't really think of a better place to start than there... I have never really had any sort of shutdown issues. Perhaps someone else will have a better idea.
[04:31] <Dr_Willis> felipe__:  new kernel, new subsystem changes.. new bugs
[04:31] <robertzaccour> L3top, oh ok thanks anyhow. I was hoping I could disable the integrated webcam so that the chrome app uses the usb webcam instead
[04:31] <UncleSlippyFist> Dr_Willis: Is there a way to disable hardware acceleration without right clicking a flash video? Because right clicking always freezes the browser for me
[04:32] <felipe__> Dr_Willis, ok thanks
[04:32] <Dr_Willis> robertzaccour:  unload the module the other webcam uses.
[04:32] <vexaxv> L3top, well thanks for all your help im off for now cya man :)
[04:32] <Dr_Willis> UncleSlippyFist:  make sure its fullscreened. i just use html5 on youtube
[04:32] <L3top> robertzaccour: you may indeed be able to... Dr_Willis pointed out that removing the module should handle it... so I am guessing an rmmod will be in order... I am looking things up.
[04:33] <UncleSlippyFist> i use html5, too, but for some reason it doesn't work on all videos.  Some are still flash.  very random
[04:33] <L3top> np vexaxv, sorry I couldn't be of more help on your second issue...
[04:33] <Dr_Willis> youtube dosnet have them all converted to html5
[04:33] <UncleSlippyFist> oh hey! full screen worked! Thanks, Dr_Willis
[04:33] <Aethrs> I'm trying to rescue a system that won't boot with grub, but when I update-grub2 it can't find the device for the root filesystem.  I'm chrooted, can anyone help?
[04:35] <Dr_Willis> Aethrs:  did you set up the  /dev/ in the  mountpoint befor you chrooted?
[04:35] <Aethrs> Yes, i did.
[04:35] <Aethrs> That's why I'm kinda confused.
[04:35] <Dr_Willis> perosnally i tend to just use 'grub-install'  with all the right options, i rarely chroot any more
[04:35] <Dr_Willis> theres also that boot-repair gui tool
[04:36] <Aethrs> How do i use grub-install ?
[04:36] <Aethrs> Or the gui tool, for that matter.
[04:36] <Dr_Willis> grub-install --help
[04:36] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub
[04:36] <Dr_Willis> has a link to instslling the boot-repair tool
[04:37] <robertzaccour> Dr_Willis, I'm not sure how to do that
[04:38] <Dr_Willis> robertzaccour: do what?
[04:39]  * Dr_Willis has only a 10 line history buffer visible
[04:39] <robertzaccour> Dr_Willis, I don't know how to unload webcam modules
[04:39] <Dr_Willis> robertzaccour:  sudo rmmod modulename
[04:39] <Aethrs> That link doesn't really seem to be useful to me.
[04:40] <ksbalaji_> mine 10.4 LTS - after update my ooo is slow. Starts accessing HDD on every click/move! Help!
[04:40] <Dr_Willis> theres a link to installing the 'boot-repair' tool somewhere in those docs. its in a ppa.
[04:40] <Aethrs> So would grub-install --root-directory=/mnt be reasonable?
[04:40] <Aethrs> Dr_Willis- "Installing"?  I have a unbootable system.
[04:40] <Dr_Willis> Aethrs:  im not sur if it wants /mnt/ or /mnt/boot
[04:40] <Dr_Willis> you can install the boot-repair tool from a live-cd setup to 'ram'
[04:41] <robertzaccour> Dr_Willis, sudo rmmod modulenamme
[04:41] <robertzaccour> ERROR: Module modulenamme does not exist in /proc/modules
[04:41] <Dr_Willis> i was hopeing thwy would include it on the 12.04 live cd. ;( but no luck
[04:41] <Aethrs> Searching on that page for repair turns up nothing.
[04:41] <Dr_Willis> robertzaccour:  yes.. you need to put in the right modulename
[04:42] <robertzaccour> Dr_Willis, oh, I don't know what that is
[04:42] <Dr_Willis> robertzaccour: neiother do i
[04:42] <Dr_Willis> which is why i said 'modulename' ;)
[04:43] <robertzaccour> Dr_Willis, do you know how to find what the modulename is?
[04:43] <Dr_Willis> lsmod shows them all.. but what each webcam uses..  no idea.
[04:44] <Dr_Willis> it may have  the name of the webcam somewhere in the name of the module
[04:45] <Aethrs> Do you happen to have a link to the repair tool?  Those grub links are huge and searching for "repair" returns no results within the very, very long pages.

[04:47] <Aethrs> Wow I really miss lilo.
[04:48] <Dr_Willis> i miss lilo - like i miss a toothache
[04:50] <Aethrs> Oh yikes, /boot seems to be full.
[04:51] <Dr_Willis> heh/ my /boot/abi-3.2.0-23-generic partion is like 5 gb.. it rarely gets full
[04:51] <Dr_Willis> oops. ;) tabcompletion
[04:51] <Dr_Willis> i do keep iso files in it.
[04:51] <Aethrs> For some reason the installer made it 228M, and it's full.
[04:51] <Aethrs> And I can't boot, update initramfs, or anything.
[04:51] <Aethrs> i don't even know what I can delete.
[04:51] <Dr_Willis> the installer dosent make a seperate /boot/  partition as far as ive ever seen
[04:52] <Dr_Willis> but i rarely mess with server installs either
[04:52] <fhd> Does anybody know what exactly gnome-system-monitor is displaying under "Memory" on the processes tab? I can't seem to extract the same value from /proc/PID/status.
[04:53] <undecim> I've got an encrypted home directory on one computer, and want to be able to access it via NFS on another computer, but all I see is the "Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop" and "README.txt" files. How do I view the ecryptfs files with nfs?
[04:53] <robertzaccour> Dr_Willis, would it help if I pastebin the output?
[04:54] <Aethrs> So Dr_Willis- Where am I supposed to find that grub-fix-utility ?
[04:54] <Aethrs> dmesg
[04:54] <fhd> undecim: I'm thinking that the user whose homedir that is has to be logged in for the files to be accessible.
[04:55] <undecim> fhd: I am
[04:55] <Dr_Willis> Aethrs:  the boot-repair is a gui tool you can install, i normally just need to use  the grub-install command.
[04:55] <fhd> undecim: Hm, I was pretty sure they got mounted on login.
[04:55] <undecim> fhd: In fact, that's where I'm running this chat from. sftp works just fine.
[04:55] <Dr_Willis> my /boot/ is taking up 50mb right now
[04:55] <undecim> fhd: They get mounted, but as a FUSE filesystem. The nfs-kernel-server doesn't read it.
[04:56] <fhd> undecim: Can root see the files? True on my system.
[04:56] <undecim> fhd: Yes, but not nfs
[04:56] <fhd> undecim: Oh, no idea then, sorry.
[04:56] <undecim> I'm thinking I need to install a userspace NFS server....
[04:56] <fhd> undecim: I thought NFS was user space :P
[04:57] <undecim> fhd: Not the one in the ubuntu repos, lol
[04:57] <Dr_Willis> i think theres like 2 differnt nfs serverws in the repos
[04:57] <Dr_Willis> !nfs
[04:57] <undecim> Dr_Willis: I only see nfs-kernel-server.... Google finds nfs-user-server for Hardy.... 4 years behind for me
[04:57] <Dr_Willis> ones in the kernel - so its faster
[04:58] <Aethrs> So it's something like grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/vda
[04:58] <Aethrs> ?
[04:58] <Dr_Willis> -root would be a path to a mounted directory not a deivce i belive
[04:58] <Dr_Willis> unless you are using a weird mountpointnasme ;)
[04:58] <Aethrs> Manual page says "--root-directory=DIR"
[04:59] <Dr_Willis> or i am reading the word wrapped command formated badly on irc'
[04:59] <Dr_Willis> i cant recall if you wantg /mnt/ or /mnt/boot/
[05:00] <Dr_Willis>  if your /boot/ is on its own partition. it mayy want just that dir.
[05:01] <harris_> Dr_Willis,  i added it to the end and it didnt work
[05:02] <chrislu5tic> my head is exploding
[05:02] <bazhang> !ot > chrislu5tic
[05:02] <Dr_Willis> harris_:  i have the attention span of a newt.. and no idea what you are refering to
[05:03] <harris_> Dr_Willis,  remember the code not automatic
[05:03] <brightsparks> Hi. I've just install Opera 11.64  in Ubuntu 11.10. But flash doesn't seem to be working. It works ok in firefox. Is there some way of linking firefoxes plugsins to Opera??
[05:03] <harris_> so you made me add it to a document
[05:03] <Dr_Willis> no clue harris_ ...
[05:03] <harris_> well it didnt work
[05:03] <Aethrs> Well, grub-install under chroot can't find the device.  Under the installer shell the command doesn't exist.
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> Aethrs:  i  used grub-install without chrooting
[05:04] <Aethrs> From rescue mode on the CD?
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> not sure about the instsaller shell. could be its as limited shell
[05:04] <Aethrs> Dr_Willis- Then exactly what kind of shell should I use?
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> i use the desktop-live cd normally
[05:04] <Aethrs> Okay, I'll go download that..
 can someone help me
 vexaxv: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noacpi"
 Harris:  check the history command to see what they were
 Harris, with what
 Harris:  or the channel logs
[05:05] <FloodBot1> harris_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:05] <Dr_Willis> Aethrs:  there is a custom boot-repair live-cd also thats ubuntu+ the boot-repair tool
[05:05] <Aethrs> Is that on the ubuntu website?
[05:06] <Dr_Willis> its on the boot-repaur url i pasted earlier i think..,
[05:06] <Dr_Willis> Im not sure if you MUST use 64bit  for a 64bit repair..  but id think it would be a good idea
[05:06] <Aethrs> I can't chroot without 64-bit.
[05:06] <wilee-nilee> Aethrs, run the create bootinfo and paste it to a pastebin  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[05:06] <Aethrs> And maybe I wont' use that, but it's kinda handy
[05:07] <Dr_Willis> https://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/files/
[05:07] <Dr_Willis> seems its not based on a ubuntu   cd. but does 64 and 32both from one cd. neat trick
[05:08] <Madpilot> Does 12.04 have a way to show System Info permanently somehow? I seriously miss the applets you could put in pre-Unity toolbars.
[05:08] <Dr_Willis> a must stick in yopur toolboxx sort of tool
[05:08] <Dr_Willis> Madpilot:  theres exxtra indicator-applets you can get.  askubuntu.com had a huge list of them all at one time
[05:08] <TobsCore> hey, is it possible to shutdoen tt7 (x-server) and only run on tty1 (for example) - to save some batter?
[05:08] <TobsCore> *shutdown
[05:09] <Aethrs> Downloading that iso and transferring it to the server.
[05:09] <Madpilot> Dr_Willis, do they tuck into the Unity sidebar, or up in the notification area?
[05:09] <Dr_Willis> TobsCore:  sudo service lightdm stop
[05:10] <Dr_Willis> Madpilot:  indicator applet = top right
[05:10] <TobsCore> Dr_Willis: Thanks
[05:10] <Dr_Willis> the old notiffication are = is a single indicator applet  - i belive..
[05:10] <Madpilot> Dr_Willis, so up in the notification area. cool.
[05:11] <Dr_Willis> its not the notification area. ;) its the indicator-applet area
[05:11] <apheron> hi there everyone
[05:11] <Madpilot> Dr_Willis, close enough. :)
[05:11] <apheron> finally into linux so I can irc
[05:11] <laumonier> hi how can i create a usb boot with slitaz ive tried with dd and the usb key is not recognized and with unetbootin ive got kernel panic ty for help
[05:11] <Dr_Willis> untill they totally remove that oold notification area..
[05:12] <Madpilot> next question for someone trying to like Unity - can the "messaging" dropdown be customized? Having Thunderbutt there when I use Evolution is a minor nuisance.
[05:12] <vadi2> I'm having a severe issue with 12.04's home encryption. I can't find out which files are taking up space - the disk usage analyzer says only 8gb is used by home when I scan it, yet when I scan the whole filesystem, it says 90gb is used by home. The computer is also complaining that there is -NO- disk space left.
[05:12] <Dr_Willis> laumonier:  after you use dd to dd an iso to theusb, you will need to 'zero' it out and repartition it back to a normal filesystem for unetbootin or other tools to be able to  write to it
[05:12] <vadi2> Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't think it will boot next time I restart it.
[05:12] <wilee-nilee> laumonier, #slitaz is your channel
[05:12] <brightsparks> Hi. I've just install Opera 11.64  in Ubuntu 11.10. But flash doesn't seem to be working. It works ok in firefox. Is there some way of linking firefoxes plugsins to Opera??

[05:22] <lymon> but im still getting that error
[05:22] <bazhang> lymon, thats not an ubuntu error
[05:22] <lymon> "CDBOOT: Couldn't find NTLDR"
[05:22] <lymon> what is it then?
[05:22] <daguydatpwnz> what command do i type to switch channels
[05:22] <ViveElNorte> are negros allowed to use Ubuntu?
[05:22] <bazhang> lymon, no idea. dont keep asking here
[05:23] <lymon> dude come on im just trying to install it so i can use this new pc i got no need to be a douche....
[05:24] <manish411> how to make kdm as the default login manager ??
[05:25] <manish411> I have installed kdm
[05:25] <DarkApex> manish411 "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm"
[05:25] <DarkApex> rune this
[05:25] <DarkApex> *run
[05:25] <manish411> ok
[05:26] <manish411> so what exactly will it do?
[05:26] <ViveElNorte> are negros allowed to use ubuntu?
[05:26] <DarkApex> it will give you an option to choose from various dms
[05:26] <Aethrs> Okay so I booted the boot-repair thing.. And there's a nice little background of a computer and some tools and a disassembled camera.
[05:26] <manish411> ok got it
[05:26] <Dr_Willis> manish411:  asks what *dm to use
[05:26] <Aethrs> after selecting '64 bit'
[05:26] <Madpilot> ViveElNorte, only warning. Behave.
[05:26] <DarkApex> Dr_Willis: Exactly!
[05:27] <ViveElNorte> Madpilot  wtf are you talking about?  are negros allowed to use ubuntu?  that was my question!
[05:27] <ViveElNorte> now can somebody answer it!
[05:27] <Your_Dog> :\
[05:28] <laumonier> is it possible to compare automaticaly with md5sum??for the moment i read and compare visualy the two sum is it possible to does it automaticaly??
[05:28] <Aethrs> There's 3 little mysterious icons to the lower-left... But this thing doesn'ta ctually seem to do anything.
[05:28] <Dr_Willis> laumonier:  md5sum has a -c filename  option i recall
[05:29] <laumonier> ive got to create a files with the md5?
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> or some option to use a md5sum file
[05:29] <hanibana> I've installed amd64 kubuntu and have 4 GB physical memory. But, free commands shows 3824 MB total. What's wrong?
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> you download the sum file from the site you get the files
[05:29] <L3top>   -c, --check          read MD5 sums from the FILEs and check them
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> hanibana:  sounds about normal to me.
[05:30] <laumonier> the site where i get just give me the md5 not a files so i have to create a file?
[05:30] <laumonier> in a text
[05:30] <Aprel> Do the md5sums in the files need to be in the same order?
[05:30] <Dr_Willis> laumonier:  guess so.  ubuntu ftp sit has a single sum file with a dozen+ file/sums in it
[05:30] <vadi2> Aprel: no, per-file md5 sums are per-file
[05:30] <Dr_Willis> its a simple file format,  filename  sumname  (if i recall)
[05:32] <Dr_Willis> from what ive seen - if the md5sum fails, then its normally a Very differnt sum. ;)
[05:32] <sere> lubuntu
[05:33] <vexaxv> hey guys if i switch to gnome 3 on ubuntu instead of unity will it be faster or slower
[05:33] <UncleSlippyFist> I personally don't notice a big change
[05:33] <Dr_Willis> vexaxv:  seemed sbout the same to me
[05:34] <vexaxv> Dr_Willis, k but it doesent use compiz does it
[05:35] <Dr_Willis> gnome-shell uses  mutter i thunk.
[05:35] <L3top> vexaxv: which machine is this?
[05:35] <UncleSlippyFist> just out of curiousity, what DE is everyone using here? Gnome classic, here
[05:35] <vexaxv> L3top, my laptop ubuntu 12.04
[05:35] <xangua> UncleSlippyFist: not a poll channel
[05:35] <UncleSlippyFist> sorry
[05:36] <vexaxv> L3top, just trying to get the extra little fps boost for games and i figured being it wasent using compiz..
[05:36] <Dr_Willis> used a minimal window manager for most gains
[05:36] <Dr_Willis> like fuxbox
[05:36] <Dr_Willis> fluxbox
[05:36] <L3top> Are you using a proprietary driver vexaxv?
[05:36] <Dr_Willis> or a light desktop like lubuntu
[05:37] <vexaxv> L3top, fglrx in restricted drivers
[05:37] <lymon> can someone help me here?
[05:37] <Dr_Willis> !ask
[05:38] <L3top> Out of curiosity can I have the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA      vexaxv?
[05:38] <vexaxv> its a radeon 4200
[05:38] <vexaxv> save ya the time lol
[05:38] <L3top> doesnt help me.
[05:38] <vexaxv> ook hang on
[05:39] <vexaxv> corey@bash:~$ lspci -nn | grep VGA
[05:39] <vexaxv> 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880M [Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series] [1002:9712]
[05:39] <L3top> I would not expect the fglrx to do well on that specific card.
[05:39] <lymon> if its not too much trouble can someone help me figure this one guide out to fix a problem im having with the install of ubuntu?
[05:39] <L3top> You are playing games without problems vexaxv?
[05:40] <manish411> I have installed kdm and made it the default login manager , but how do I configure it start genome-session automatically after I login ??
[05:40] <vexaxv> L3top, i am but id like a frame boost i can notice a little lag here and there
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> manigma77_: it should rember the lastg selecgtrrd session
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> last selected session
[05:40] <Madpilot> lymon, link to the guide you're using, or details about the problem you're having?
[05:40] <BlackWeb> When ever i try to use the command line ftp to transfer stuff off my server then it fails with this error code

[05:41] <lymon> http://tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm#What_if_I_don't_see_this_screen?
[05:41] <Dr_Willis> it wants a filename, not just a path perhaps
[05:41] <BlackWeb> So give it a file name Dr_Willis
[05:42] <lymon> i keep getting the "cdboot : coudlnt find ntldr" ive burned ubuntu to disk and put it on usb and nothing... just keep getting that
[05:42] <Dr_Willis> try it and see.. i dont use ftp any more... dump ftp and use ssh/scp....
[05:42] <BlackWeb> one sec i'll try that
[05:42] <xubuntu> hello
[05:42] <Madpilot> lymon, that's a Windows install guide and sounds like a Win install error...
[05:42] <L3top> I am surprised it is functioning well at all vexaxv... it is not supported by fglrx afaik
[05:42] <Dr_Willis> lymon:  sounds like its booting the hd. not the cd.
[05:43] <vexaxv> L3top, if its not supported then how am i using it >.<
[05:43] <lymon> im doing the del and selecting usb and disc
[05:43] <lymon> and still nothing
[05:43] <Dr_Willis> you might have made usb wrongly
[05:43] <lymon> like i did the whole boot usb and disk and yeah...
[05:43] <Dr_Willis> ntldr = a common windows error message
[05:44] <Guest58135> wena
[05:44] <Guest58135> vola!
[05:44] <lymon> how so? all ubuntu said for install was copy .iso and put in flash
[05:44] <Dr_Willis> lymon:  you just put the iso on  the usb as a file? whats the contents of the usb now?
[05:44] <L3top> vexaxv: they drop support rather a lot... typically because they add support for something new which causes some sort of problem with X range of cards... the degree of the problem varies.
[05:45] <Guest58135> a la conchesumadre con esta gua!
[05:45] <ThePendulum> Dr_Willis: Probably something along the lines of ubuntu12.04_amd64.iso
[05:45] <L3top> their response is simply "that is no longer supported" vexaxv
[05:45] <lymon> ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso
[05:45] <vexaxv> L3top, well i could always download from amd's site
[05:45] <L3top> but RS/RV 6xx-8xx are explicitly not supported.
[05:46] <Dr_Willis> lymon:  you did it wrong then/missread the  guide
[05:46] <Dr_Willis> lymon:  you image, or use a tool like unetbootin to put the iso on the usb in a bootable format
[05:46] <Dr_Willis> lymon:  tools at the pendrivelinux web site make it  easy
[05:46] <vexaxv> L3top, corey@bash:~$ fglrxinfo
[05:46] <vexaxv> display: :0  screen: 0

[05:46] <FloodBot1> vexaxv: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:47] <lymon> oh didnt see that in there install thing :P
[05:47] <vexaxv> L3top, looks supported to me :)
[05:47] <ThePendulum> Dr_Willis: Why is that tool still recommended? I only have succes with pendrivelinux every now and then, while UNetbootin has always worked and is also slightly easier to understand.
[05:47] <Wizard> Good morning.
[05:47] <Dr_Willis> ThePendulum:  ive had unetbootin fail quiet a lot over the yers..   the pendrive tools have several differnt tools. and are often updated a lot fasgter
[05:48] <Dr_Willis> unetbootin for a long time couldent do a persistant save file, or use grub2 ..notsure of its featuers now
[05:48] <vexaxv> L3top, would i get better performance if i downloaded from amd's site as opposed to the proprietary restricted drivers?
[05:49] <Dr_Willis> also i dont think unetbootin can set up several differnt disrtos on the pendrive, like  some of the pendrivelinux sites tools can thats a biggie for me
[05:49] <Dr_Willis> 16gb flash drive with 16 differnt disrtos ;)
[05:49] <ThePendulum> Dr_Willis: What do you mean? There are plenty of distro´s you may use it for, even some of the BSD ones
[05:49] <ThePendulum> brb
[05:50] <L3top> I am checking vexaxv, but the proprietary restricted is what you would download from their site...
[05:52] <dj__> how would i mount my nas using only the ip address
[05:52] <Dr_Willis> dj__:  what service is it using?
[05:52] <dj__> i have samba installed and smb
[05:52] <zexypants> if i use samba as domain controller for windows clients, can i still share drives on the windows machines easily?
[05:52] <vexaxv> L3top, hm..
[05:52] <dj__> i can connect using smb://<ip address>
[05:52] <Dr_Willis> you can make a fsgab entry foro it, or use the smbmount command i recall
[05:53] <dj__> im not sure how as im very new to ubuntu
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> smbmount \\servername\sharename    use ip# for servername
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> i think thats close.
[05:53] <dj__> ive looked at the fstab would that be under [global]
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> smb:// will makeit appear in the .gvfs directory after you first access it - i belive
[05:54] <Dr_Willis> smb.cconf has a [global] not fstab
[05:54] <dj__> well when i go to networks and browse i can see it but cant access it
[05:54] <dj__> i can only access it in home by typing in the address bar
[05:54] <manish411> how to configure kdm to run genome-session automatically after I login
[05:54] <Dr_Willis> it cant handle the hostname, but can the ip# you mean:
[05:55] <manish411> I want to switch from gdm to kdm
[05:55] <L3top> gimme a minute vexaxv.
[05:55] <ThePendulum> I installed Ubuntu on my SSD, but Windows is ever since completely preventing from anything but itself to boot
[05:55] <dj__> yeah the ip works but not the hostname
[05:55] <Dr_Willis> dj__:  dirty fix. edit /etc/hosts and have the hotsname map to  the ip# ;)
[05:55] <Dr_Willis> i think theres a better fix.. but i always use static ips on my home lan
[05:56] <dj__> ok then what if the ip is a dynamic ip given by the dhcp
[05:56] <Dr_Willis> i set my dhcp server to always assign ip based on mac.. so the boxs get the same ip.
[05:56] <Dr_Willis> any new machines get a higher range of ip#'s
[05:56] <dj__> well unfortunately my house mate set it up and wont change the settings
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> smbtree or findsmb can slso show the host and ip#
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> taske a hammer to it.. ;)
[05:57] <dj__> i wish i could take one to him
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> or just set your server to use a static ip
[05:58] <dj__> he says it takes ages to access when its static ip set
[05:58] <Dr_Willis> ive alsays had issues with nautilus not working by hostname, but did by ip#
[05:58] <Dr_Willis> hes wrong..
[05:58] <iceroot> is NVIDIA Optimus working now with Ubuntu Kernel 3.2 (or higher)? or still faciing the memory-leak bug which is disabling the optimus feature?
[05:58] <dj__> ya cant teach him
[05:58] <Dr_Willis> it looks up hostname,,,,,a nd converts it to ip anyway
[05:59] <dj__> i mean i was able to access it when i had jaunty installed
[05:59] <realgod> what ubuntu version best for use virtual box?
[05:59] <dj__> without having to configure anything really
[05:59] <iceroot> realgod: 12.04 lts
[05:59] <Dr_Willis> nautilus has issues with hostnames.. theres some service i recall tht helps it.. but i never use it
[05:59] <fidel_> iceroot: talking about enabling & disabling the nv-part?
[05:59] <iceroot> fidel_: automaticly enabling/disabling
[05:59] <Dr_Willis> realgod:  whatever version you want.
[05:59] <fidel_> iceroot: k - still have mine auto-disabled
[06:00] <iceroot> fidel_: until 3.0 there was a memory leak in the main-kernel and so they disabled the auto-feature
[06:00] <dj__> am i stuck using nautilus in 12.04
[06:00] <Dr_Willis> !info smb4k
[06:00] <dj__> or can i change it
[06:00] <Dr_Willis> this is linux.. of course you can change it..
[06:00] <fidel_> iceroot: curious: are you using bumblebee?
[06:01] <Dr_Willis> theres a dozen ways to find/access samba shares also
[06:01] <dj__> ok what one would be able to do what im asking without too much configuring
[06:01] <dj__> as im only new to network administration (still learning)
[06:02] <iceroot> fidel_: never heard of it until now, my system with nvidia optimus will arrive today so i did not any testing yet
[06:02] <iceroot> fidel_: is it worth having a look at it?
[06:03] <realgod> thank you all
[06:03] <fidel_> iceroot: well i used it month ago when my optimus device arrived - basically those days to have better handling for optimus - while i disabled the nv part completly at the end to save power. those days it was helpful - but i havent messed around with the gfx-setup since then
[06:04] <fidel_> iceroot: i dont need the nv-part of the gfx on linux anyways
[06:04] <iceroot> fidel_: ok, i need the system just for one task, Diablo 3 and i dont want optimus to start the intel-part when i am playing or removing the ac-adapter
[06:04] <dj__> O.o ok all of a suddent im able to access everything any idea why its worked all of a sudden when i havnt done anything since comming here to ask for help?
[06:05] <fidel_> iceroot: as a sidenote - as it might affect you as well - i needed to play with acpi=noirq to be even able to install ubuntu on my box
[06:05] <Dr_Willis> dj__:  samba is just screwy at time
[06:05] <fidel_> all other install attempts failed pretty fast using debian & ubuntu ;)
[06:05] <iceroot> fidel_: i hope i dont need some hacks to start it on my new laptop
[06:05] <dj__> ok cause ive been working on it for over 24 hours
[06:06] <dj__> nice to know it will work eventually XD
[06:06] <iceroot> fidel_: but thank you for the info about the option
[06:06] <Dr_Willis> dj__:  or die withiut notice
[06:06] <dj__> ok yay guess ill look forward to that
[06:07] <Dr_Willis> dj__:  learn ssh and scp ;)
[06:07] <dj__> ok how hard is that to learn as i struggle with javascript
[06:08] <L3top> vexaxv:  I am correct, ATI dropped support of the HD 2000-4000 series after 12-5...
[06:08] <Dr_Willis> ssh more imporntant then js
[06:08] <dj__> i understand but how complex of a language is it
[06:08] <iceroot> dj__: if you want to do some linux-administrations there are 4 tools which are important to know, ssh, screen, bash, vi(m)
[06:08] <L3top> vexaxv: Trying to find the tech note on ATIs site... but it is noted all over bug reports.
[06:08] <Dr_Willis> its not a language
[06:08] <vexaxv> L3top, 12-5?
[06:09] <dj__> ok
[06:09] <L3top> vexaxv: ATI version
[06:09] <dj__> looks like its back to colledge for me
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> !ssh
[06:09] <vexaxv> L3top, then how am i still using it?
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> vexaxv: luck
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> :)
[06:10] <dj__> wow all of this to use ubuntu on my home pc as a windows replacement XD
[06:10] <dj__> but im sold to it Xd
[06:10] <vexaxv> soo wtf do i do now haha
[06:11] <omenz> my lilo doesnt work on xbuntoo
[06:11] <omenz> im on most linuxhelp channels
[06:11] <Dr_Willis> ssh is for more then ubuntu
[06:11] <omenz> i cant seem to find the problems
[06:11] <buhman> lsblk
[06:11] <buhman> now
[06:11] <L3top> vexaxv: As I said... the problems they have range in severity... they are simply dropped from support. Mostly what I see in bugs are flickering etc. ATI is notorious for doing this
[06:12] <vexaxv> L3top, i had flickering issues in 11.10
[06:12] <vexaxv> L3top, there gone now
[06:12] <iceroot> dj__: ssh is the most important and the most usefull tool in GNU/Linux, UNIX, something that is complety missing on windows
[06:12] <ninux> iceroot: thumbsup!
[06:13] <dj__> so what language is terminal using as in windows command prompt uses dos
[06:13] <iceroot> dj__: bash
[06:13] <iceroot> !bash | dj__
[06:13] <dj__> ok im guessing that will be my first thing to learn then
[06:13] <iceroot> dj__: learn ssh, screen, bash and vi(m) if you want to be an admin
[06:14] <dj__> well linux is just a side project for me to learn but i will do as it will help me if i ever have to work with a linux server XD
[06:14] <iceroot> dj__: on a linux-server you need the 4 tools i mentioned
[06:15] <iceroot> dj__: for private work you dont need one of them
[06:15] <vexaxv> L3top, where can i go to see the support list for fglrx
[06:15] <dj__> ok
[06:15] <Dr_Willis> in this day.. you will use linux  somewhere.. ;)
[06:15] <dj__> ive figured that as most business's use a linux box aswell as server 2008 or something like that
[06:16] <Dr_Willis> im using ssh to get a shell from my android phone
[06:16] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: but the good thing is you can do your normal work without the tools, you dont need the bash anymore (5 years back... it was different)
[06:16] <chigybuntu> How to configure SSH in ubuntu 12.04
[06:16] <Dr_Willis> shell is my normal work
[06:16] <Dr_Willis> !ssh
[06:16] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: but you are not a normal user :)
[06:16] <buhman> dj__: actually it's called "cmd.exe", not "DOS" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_command_shells
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> none of us are.. nirmal
[06:17] <dj__> thats true but its the same language with slight changes
[06:17] <L3top> vexaxv: I am just telling you, that your card is unsupported. If it works for you... awesome... I am a big fan of not fixing what isn't broken... ATI does not produce such a list to my knowledge... it would make my job a whole lot easier. Instead they put out a memo noting that they have dropped support for xxxx or have added support for xxxx I am still looking for that.
[06:17] <iceroot> dj__: ssh can do so many things, e.g. i am using ssh to write this message to you, i am using ssh to copy some files, so have access to another machine, so use a secure ftp protocol and so on
[06:18] <chigybuntu> I have tried to ssh to a blackbuntu machine and the connection is refused...
[06:18] <iceroot> chigybuntu: maybe ssh is not running on the server
[06:18] <iceroot> chigybuntu: or the port is not forwarded
[06:18] <vexaxv> L3top, thats what i mean it would be nice to see some list like that
[06:19] <jmwpc> I'm adding my samsung printer to my ubuntu server (for use with cloudprint), using the ppd file from the Samsung unified driver, my documents come out like this: http://i.imgur.com/maARa.jpg --- what am I doing wrong here?
[06:19] <dj__> anyway thanks for the help guys ill take this all into mind and start studying
[06:20] <chigybuntu> iceroot: I started the service on the blackbuntu machine but when i start it says "connection closed by the host"
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> chigybuntu:  time to check your router/firewall
[06:20] <iceroot> chigybuntu: nmap -p 22 hostname
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> ssh localhost from the server. :) as a test
[06:21] <iceroot> chigybuntu: run that command from the client (maybe you need "sudo apt-get install nmap" first)
[06:21] <vexaxv> id still like to know whats up with my shutdown hanging lol
[06:22] <chigybuntu> thanks iceroot, let me try that option..
[06:22] <vexaxv> L3top, k well thanks man im off for a bit ill cya later
[06:22] <siva4080> I'm using virtual box on Windows.  I want to install Ubuntu on virtualbox. Where can I download the disk image of Ubuntu ? please suggest me
[06:22] <bazhang> siva4080, www.ubuntu.com
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> siva4080:  just use the isp and install it like you would normally
[06:22] <iceroot> !download | siva4080
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> iso   :)
[06:23] <iceroot> siva4080: use the iso to install instead of a virtual disc image
[06:23] <Dr_Willis> im not sure there are  premade vm disk images any more
[06:23] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: not official ones
[06:23] <Dr_Willis> JeOS is a dead  project now?
[06:23]  * tMH is gone. nsf
[06:24] <bazhang> tMH, disable that
[06:24] <Donas`> fuck off niggas !
[06:24] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: yes, 10.10 was the last one
[06:24] <albech> installed the new ubuntu and now when i try to launch my evolution and send mails it does not send. I suspect it is due to a certificate issue. I am not prompted to accept the self-signed certificate and its just waiting... any ideas how to force this pop-up?
[06:26] <jonjon79> <- newbie, I'm trying to mount my ntfs partitons as readonly, read about using fstab but not much luck from google or ubuntuforums, can u help me mount my ntfs partition as readonly upon boot? tyvm
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs
[06:26] <icesword> hi
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> see ntfg-3g docs also
[06:26] <icesword> ???
[06:27] <jonjon79> Dr_Willis, wow ty man, ima check that
[06:27] <iceroot> hm, maybe using ntfs instead of ntfs-3g if you want read-only :)
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> mounting ntfs in linux must have 9000+ google hits. :) its  a common faq
[06:27] <icesword> what's iceroot
[06:27] <iceroot> icesword: ?
[06:28] <bazhang> !ot | icesword
[06:28] <icesword> what
[06:28] <bazhang> icesword, this is NOT the chat channel
[06:28] <icesword> o k
[06:29] <crazydiamond> Hi. How do I create ubuntu live USB from Ubuntu?
[06:29] <iceroot> !usb | crazydiamond
[06:29] <icesword> !usbboot
[06:30] <iceroot> crazydiamond: the first link will show how to make a bootbale usb stick with a live-version which can also start the insaller
[06:30] <icesword> eh.
[06:30] <siva4080> I've downloaded ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso file.  I want to use it on Virtual Box on Windows Host.
[06:30] <jonjon79> iceroot, tried that also, but i get error "Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library"
[06:31] <siva4080> At the starting , on Virtual box , I'm seeing "try ubuntu" and "install Now" options..
[06:31] <iceroot> jonjon79: when using fstab? or when using the normal mount-command?
[06:31]  * omenz away c0mat0se
[06:31] <omenz> or away what ever
[06:32] <siva4080> If I choose "Install Now" option , where ubuntu will be installed?  on VirtualBox or on Windows itself ??
[06:32] <bazhang> omenz, disable that
[06:32] <iceroot> omenz: stop that please
[06:32] <omenz> hey you what do you say
[06:32] <omenz> something beautiful
[06:32] <iceroot> siva4080: virtualbox
[06:32] <omenz> hey you are you dying with need
[06:32] <omenz> ??
[06:32] <bazhang> omenz, thats enough. stop
[06:33] <chigybuntu> can you update a facebook status as you can tweet via terminal?
[06:33] <icesword> what
[06:33] <siva4080> iceroot: So , It is safe to choose install now option right? because I don't want to loose windows. I want to use Ubuntu on VirtualBox only...
[06:33] <iceroot> siva4080: and virtualbox is creating a file on windows
[06:33] <iceroot> siva4080: its safe
[06:33] <iceroot> siva4080: if you started the installation inside virtualbox and not on a restart on the pc where the cd was in the drive
[06:34] <s4ltnesst00dles> omenz whoo
[06:34] <icesword> what the hell
[06:34] <s4ltnesst00dles> we are sorry but we do not know anything of that nature, please wait for more ops
[06:34] <siva4080> iceroot: I'm starting installation on VirtualBox..
[06:34] <Dr_Willis> stuff in vbox affecting the  hoost machine? ;)
[06:34] <chigybuntu> Guys can you update a facebook status using terminal?
[06:35] <iceroot> siva4080: then everything is fine and your windows will not be removed
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> sort of would defeat  one of the main reasons to use vbox
[06:35] <s4ltnesst00dles> nm6 shut tht anus pls will ya
[06:35] <iceroot> chigybuntu: yes, by mail
[06:35] <s4ltnesst00dles> i forgot
[06:35] <chigybuntu> iceroot: how please!!
[06:35] <iceroot> chigybuntu: ask in #facebook because its not ubuntu related
[06:36] <iceroot> chigybuntu: you can send mails to facebook and that will create/comment things
[06:36] <lymon> this new pc i got is so much fun.... i did your instructions willis and i got some weird purple screen with  what appears to be a filmreelclip and a man in a circle then it all goes black and then nothing
[06:36] <iceroot> chigybuntu: for sending mails on the shell have a look at mutt
[06:36] <lymon> ideas on what this is now....?
[06:36] <dido> facebook is so bacefook ;)
[06:36] <TobsCore> how comes Ubuntu wastes so much battery life
[06:37] <fidel_> TobsCore: powertop might be a nice helper to get more informations
[06:37] <iceroot> chigybuntu: also have a look at bitblee if it is able to talk to facebook now
[06:37] <iceroot> TobsCore: which ubuntu-version?
[06:37] <TobsCore> I just shutdown my ligthdm and run in tty and I only got 2:30h of battery life
[06:37] <fidel_> TobsCore: could have several reasons - analyzing what eats the most right now is a good way from my point of view
[06:37] <TobsCore> 12:04
[06:37] <TobsCore> *12-04
[06:37] <mi3> HI!
[06:37] <mi3> can someone give me some suggestions on which font that is http://imagebin.org/213661 ?? that loading part?
[06:37] <TobsCore> fuuuu!
[06:37] <TobsCore> 12.04
[06:38] <BlackWeb> Dr_Willis, Thank you :) that ftp problem was what you said, it needed a file name for local machine, Which i thought the man pages said it'll just use the existing one if none is supplied, but ya Thanks again :)
[06:38] <siva4080> iceroot: hmmm..    so many problems  :'(
[06:38] <TobsCore> fidel_: And I can figure that out with powertop?
[06:38] <irenicus09> hi anyone knows if pcmanfm can display thumbnail preview of video files?
[06:39] <lymon> anyone got ideas on this new problem of mine....?
[06:39] <lymon> some weird purple screen with what appears to be a filmreelclip and a man in a circle then it all goes black and then nothing
[06:39] <fidel_> TobsCore: yep - its a diagnose tool
[06:39] <mi3> !ask | lymon
[06:39] <fidel_> elaborate | lymon
[06:39] <fidel_> !elaborate | lymon
[06:39] <mi3> xD
[06:40] <chigybuntu> iceroot: thanks much, and last time i used dig to find short definitions of word using terminal from wikipedia "dig +short txt word.wp.cx" but is there any command which allows you to view even a longer text?
[06:40] <lymon> whats to elaborate
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset | lymon
[06:40] <lymon> what i said is what happens :|
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> lymon:  what you are doing  for starters...
[06:40] <lymon> burned cd iso
[06:40] <iceroot> chigybuntu: never used something like that so i dont know, sorry
[06:41] <jonjon79> iceroot, when using fstab with options { defaults,nls=utf8,umask=0222,users } and then clicking on file-manager
[06:41] <lymon> wish i could simply show :P
[06:41] <chigybuntu> iceroot: Not a problem, thanks anyway..
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> lymon:  gfx issues at install = try the nomodeseetg option
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset | lymon
[06:43] <jonjon79> iceroot, I want to use the drive like normal but mount ntfs readonly (so that my kids wont accidentaly delete files there again)
[06:43] <slafjiw> what is the smallest rescue live linux out there? I can't boot my system.
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> slafjiw:  tinycorelinux = 10mb
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> not specifically designed for 'rescue' but it csan do stuff
[06:44] <slafjiw> Dr_Willis: thanks, is it bootable from usb? yeah i just need to copy/remove some files.
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> multicorelinux = tinyhcore+more  = 35mb
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> slafjiw:  of course it is. ;)
[06:46] <chrislu5tic> After creating a live bootable Ubuntu with persistence file, using start up disk creator,
[06:46] <chrislu5tic> it wont save... no persistence.
[06:47] <quentusrex> anyone know if it is possible to configure apt to use a client tls certificate?
[06:47] <quentusrex> for bi-directional tls authentication.
[06:51] <jonjon79> chrislu5tic, did u pass the grub/syslinux parameter "persistent"?>
[06:52] <tasslehoff> how can I wake the display of a system from an ssh session?
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> is therre a casper-rw file on the flash. ;)
[06:52] <chrislu5tic> i just used startup disk creator to make the persistence file,
[06:52] <chrislu5tic> not exactly to advanced here.  I'd need a link to a guide or something
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> could be it dident make it.
[06:53] <chrislu5tic> it spent a while doing it..
[06:53] <chrislu5tic> longer than putting ubuntu on it
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> how are you testing anyway?
[06:53] <moo> how do i decrypt access-your-private-data
[06:54] <chrislu5tic> usb
[06:54] <bohemian9485> !info UNetbootin
[06:54] <Dr_Willis> there should be a  casper-rw file on the usb drive somewhere
[06:54] <Dr_Willis> i think thats the right name
[06:55] <L3top> !info unetbootin
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> i tend to do full normal installs to my big usb drives
[06:55] <chrislu5tic> I just want to put it onto an 8gb usb and have it save, so i can take it with me in my pocket
[06:56] <Guest51790> #
[06:57] <jonjon79> chrislu5tic, upgrades are a pain with persistent puppy-like saves, why not create an install onto the stick? here's a persistent guide I used a while ago http://shallowsky.com/blog/2011/Oct/28/
[06:58] <jonjon79> I just want to mount ntfs readonly but using the filemanager from the desktop, is that so hard
[06:58] <wilee-nilee> chrislu5tic, if you make a casper-rw partition you can have more than 4 gigs of persistent.
[06:58]  * jonjon79 screams while pulling hair out
[06:58] <chrislu5tic> im just not so advanced with commands and such,
[06:58]  * jonjon79 is bleeding onto fstab
[06:59] <tMH> bazhang - it's a lice script from sep'97;)
[06:59] <jonjon79> chrislu5tic, me either m8, but persistent is a bit advanced tbh
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> should be exmple ntfs entries in the fstab .
[07:00] <wilee-nilee> chrislu5tic, with 8 gigs I would do a full install
[07:00] <chrislu5tic> yeah, i have an 8gb usb,
[07:00] <Dr_Willis>  /dev/sdb2 /media/ntfs  ntfs  defaults 0 0
[07:01] <glioros> How to tell what os a server use when i only have the ip ?
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> or somthing like that
[07:01] <chrislu5tic> how do I...hmmm
[07:01] <wilee-nilee> chrislu5tic, just use the cutom install something other, and put the grub on the thumb
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> iv done full normal installs to 8gb flash drives befor.
[07:01] <chrislu5tic> with start up disk creator?
[07:01] <wilee-nilee> chrislu5tic, have you install ubuntu before?
[07:02] <chrislu5tic> yes
[07:02] <neokya> Is updating Linux kernel is good idea?
[07:02] <chrislu5tic> 10 times over..
[07:02] <chrislu5tic> but using usb,
[07:02] <chrislu5tic> boot
[07:02] <wilee-nilee> chrislu5tic, use another thumb or disc booted and the custom install to that thumb
[07:03] <chrislu5tic> okay i see, need to external media's
[07:03] <wilee-nilee> installs just like you were putting it on a HD, you just use the something other option to point it correctly the install.
[07:03] <chrislu5tic> thats... really useful information
[07:03] <chrislu5tic> rather than persistence
[07:04] <chrislu5tic> guys in backtrack linux chewed me up and spit me out on this one lol
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> persistant is good for 'light' ussage
[07:05] <Dr_Willis> i don see muxh need for backtrqck for most users..
[07:05] <Dr_Willis> its not a disrto for normal 'desktop ussage/work'
[07:06] <chrislu5tic> alot of people tend to use aircrack and metasploit,  which was why i was looking into it
[07:06] <chrislu5tic> yeah I know.. penetration etc
[07:06] <Dr_Willis> a lot of people need to get another hobby....
[07:06] <Dr_Willis> ;)'
[07:06] <wilee-nilee> Dr_Willis, you ever figure out how to clean that casper?
[07:06] <chrislu5tic> insult?
[07:07] <Dr_Willis> i rarely use the eprsistance file stuff wilee-nilee  - what do you mean clean?
[07:07] <wilee-nilee> Dr_Willis, the casper gets full it wont clear with a autoremove or autoclean or the cache I believe
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> wilee-nilee:  cant say tht ive had that issue.
[07:08] <chrislu5tic> that was rude
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> using  apt a lot on a persistant setuop can cause isse.
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> issues...
[07:08] <rafu> Hi, is there a way to control certain bios parameters in the BIOS from the OS? what i want to do is to change the IDE controller to AHCI
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> which is why i say use persistant save only for light ussage
[07:08] <enclosed> hello, i noticed that the 12.04 image says it is 701 MB does this mean it will not fit onto a CD-R?
[07:08] <wilee-nilee> Dr_Willis, me neither I will see a person on occcasion who runs them long enough and does upgrades fill it
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> enclosed:  it fitsf
[07:09] <chrislu5tic> thats fine,  that had nothing to do with my speaking of interest in aircrack and such and you saying people need other hobbies.
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> upgrading a persistant save setup can cause major issues
[07:09] <wilee-nilee> yeah light use for sure
[07:09] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: awesome, thank you. i only have CD-Rs so i didn't wanna waste the time downloading the image if it wasn't going to fit
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> even getting the nvidia/ati drivers working on a persistant save can cause big issues
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> enclosed:  usb is the way to go
[07:10] <neokya> Hi everyone. My update manager is suggesting to update Linux Kernel image? Is it good idea to update?
[07:10] <chrislu5tic> i think we already got to that conclusion captain
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> neokya:  go for it. ;)
[07:10] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: computer is too old to boot from USB
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> enclosed:  eww. ;(
[07:11] <neokya> Dr_Willis: But I hear it might create problems on other programs
[07:11] <neokya> ?
[07:11] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: my girlfriend brought her old computer over here so that i can recover the data off of these old IDE hard drives
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> neokya:  that wouldent make sence. since a upgrade would be to fix bugs normally
[07:12] <wilee-nilee> neoark, you just want to watch out for partial upgrades.
[07:12] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: what do you think would be the most efficient way of transferring at least 100 gb of data from those old ide drives to my main computer?
[07:12] <Dr_Willis> enclosed:  external usb enclosure  is what i normally use.
[07:13] <Dr_Willis> but if the pc boots - live cd with a little disrto and use ssh
[07:13] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: what if i don't have any of that and am on a tight budget.. samba server maybe?
[07:13] <Dr_Willis> samba is a pain at times
[07:13] <neokya> Ok. Thanks a lot.
[07:13] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: what about konqeror with fish:// protocol?
[07:13] <Dr_Willis> i got a universial usb adaptor for hard drives. ;) can do ide/sata/laptop ide.
[07:13] <Dr_Willis> fish is ssh/scp i think
[07:14] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: what is the technical term for that adapter?
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> universal usb adaptor ;0
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> what the box says
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> cost me $20
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> even has a power supply
[07:14] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: and with that i can hook up both ide and sata hard disk to my computer?
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> it can do any type of hd.. except scsi ;)
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> ide, sata, laptop
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> not all at the same time. ;)
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> brb. gotta swap batteries
[07:16] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: i will definitely be investing in one of those, thanks for the tip
[07:18] <kapz> How can I make use of my ideapad special keys like one key theatre key to launch an app like cheese? I tried with keyboard shortcut but it does nothing

[07:31] <remlabm> is this a good channel to ask ubuntu server questions in?
[07:31] <lukicat> 2 questions on ubuntu 12.04: 1. how to set the frame rate of the screen? 2. how to let ubuntu 12.04 look like the older version?
[07:34] <lymon> ten minutes of waiting and still black screen :/
[07:34] <iceroot> lukicat: tft monitor?
[07:36] <sindile> how do i check the version of a library
[07:36] <lymon> it shows the ubuntu purple color and then blackscreen forever
[07:37] <lukicat> iceroot: yes, laptop display
[07:37] <iceroot> lukicat: then you dont have to set a framrate
[07:37] <sathso> how to minimise the size of the ubuntu
[07:37] <lukicat> hmm
[07:37] <iceroot> lukicat: tft displays dont have a framerate like the old monitors
[07:37] <lukicat> but the screen is flickering?!
[07:38] <Miscni> morning all
[07:39] <lukicat> and i also have another problem, after booting i only see a black screen, but hear the startup sound. if i change to text console via ctrl alt f1 and then back to f7 all is fine... some1 heard about something like that?
[07:39] <lymon> no flickering just straight up blank
[07:40] <lymon> oh.... thought someone was asking me :P
[07:40] <da_kaktus> Hi guys, do you know anything about high load in 12.04?
[07:43] <sathso> kindly clarify this query ..... " how to minimise the overall size of ubuntu"
[07:43] <lymon> ideas by anyone?
[07:44] <chinafly> hello
[07:47] <chinafly> DO you have a friend from china ?
[07:48] <lymon> no, but is this a offering of peace and friendship from you?
[07:54] <SolarisBoy> heh
[07:54] <SolarisBoy> da_kaktus: can you use top to try and determine what "may" be raising your loads?
[07:57] <SolarisBoy> guessing not
[07:57] <lymon> any ideas on mine?
[07:58] <lymon> im reinstalling for a third time at the moment :P
[07:59] <SolarisBoy> did each reinstall end in that place? with a blank screen?
[08:00] <lymon> yeah after it had me do the reinstall and then i had to unplug it
[08:00] <SolarisBoy> ?
[08:00] <sbattey> You had to unplug it?
[08:00] <anom> Can anyone see why this crontab wouldn't work? -- http://pastebin.com/q9Xjc24N
[08:00] <sbattey> Sounds like a kernel panic
[08:00] <sbattey> I diagnose kernel panics with my keyboard
[08:00] <SolarisBoy> hmm...
[08:00] <sbattey> If you press caps lock and the light doesn't light up it was a kernel panic
[08:01] <lymon> your talking to me right battery?
[08:01] <SolarisBoy> *sbattey
[08:01] <lymon> and no the capslock doesnt work :/
[08:01] <sbattey> yes
[08:02] <SolarisBoy> are you at the screen of your system?
[08:02] <sbattey> Either the driver didn't get loaded or you have a kernel panic
[08:02] <SolarisBoy> hmm..
[08:02] <lymon> so what do i do now?
[08:02] <sbattey> Your first order of business is to boot into a safe mode and find your logs
[08:02] <SolarisBoy> right on
[08:02] <sbattey> is grub loading?
[08:02] <lymon> this is a pc i just bought and everything was wiped
[08:02] <lymon> and no it is not
[08:02] <SolarisBoy> i think there is a missing link
[08:03] <SolarisBoy> kernel panic in my experience logs to the screen
[08:03] <mega1> does anyone know this error W: Failed to fetch http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/InRelease
[08:04] <mega1> this is a fresh install
[08:04] <sbattey> did you install grub?
[08:04] <sbattey> To the mbr?
[08:04] <lymon> mbr?
[08:04] <sbattey> is grub does;'t boot you're pretty much screwed I think
[08:04] <sbattey> master boot record
[08:04] <lymon> ill be honest i dont know any linux terms
[08:04] <sbattey> it is an install option
[08:04] <sbattey> mbr is a computer term
[08:04] <SolarisBoy> do you have a live cd?
[08:04] <lymon> when i reinsert cd it shows it
[08:04] <SolarisBoy> ok
[08:05] <SolarisBoy> and when you boot the drive it does nothing?
[08:05] <sbattey> If your live CD booted and worked fine but your computer won't boot you have a grub issue
[08:05] <SolarisBoy> well -
[08:05] <sbattey> grub is a bootloader
[08:05] <lymon> yeah nothing comes after its installed
[08:05] <SolarisBoy> shows "what"?
[08:05] <SolarisBoy> after it is installed
[08:05] <sbattey> at some point in the install it should have talked about this,
[08:05] <stueng> hello. under ubuntu server with xorg installed and XBMC the performnace of XBMC is sluggish unless I startx as root
[08:05] <lymon> just a purple screen for a second then it dissapears
[08:06] <SolarisBoy> ok..
[08:06] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: i'm out for the night, thanks for the tips. good night
[08:06] <SolarisBoy> so technically it sounds like your doing grub
[08:06] <lymon> ideas on what to do.... or is it a hardware issue?
[08:06] <sbattey> ylmon, when you boot do you get a black and white box with options in it?
[08:06] <SolarisBoy> as afaik thats the only thing that turns the screen purple
[08:06] <SolarisBoy> it sounds like you may have a video driver issue possibly at lymon
[08:06] <lymon> no sbattery just a black screen
[08:06] <wilee-nilee> lymon, how did you install a cd or usb flash?
[08:06] <lymon> cd
[08:07] <sbattey> you need to boot ubuntu from grub into the safe mode and figure oiut your graphics issue
[08:07] <lukicat> short problem: when i start ubuntu it comes up with the start sound but only a black screen. after switchting to text mode and back to graphic mode all is fine... how to solve this? =)
[08:07] <SolarisBoy> exactly
[08:07] <SolarisBoy> the right answer..
[08:07] <wilee-nilee> lymon, you chose install to the hard drive?
[08:07] <lymon> yeah its installed to the hd
[08:07] <SolarisBoy> grub is loading if his screen is purple
[08:08] <SolarisBoy> when it's trying to switch resolutions for GUI mode - it seems its going black?
[08:08] <stueng> hold shift while you boot, see if you get the grub screen
[08:08] <sbattey> ubuntu is trying to boot if his screen is purple
[08:08] <SolarisBoy> right -
[08:08] <SolarisBoy> exactly
[08:08] <wilee-nilee> lymon, so what happens when you boot?
[08:08] <SolarisBoy> meaning grub ran..
[08:08] <SolarisBoy> he gets black screen - video issue sounds like to me
[08:08] <lymon> as in?
[08:08] <SolarisBoy> especially if the live cd vid works
[08:08] <sbattey> yes, meaning he didn;'t know what grub was when we asked haha
[08:08] <lymon> yeah just that
[08:08] <SolarisBoy> =)
[08:08] <lymon> i can do the test and install
[08:08] <wilee-nilee> SolarisBoy, I am not asking you please
[08:08] <SolarisBoy> grub != worm
[08:09] <wilee-nilee> !nomodeset | lymon
[08:09] <SolarisBoy> did i say your name in my comment?
[08:09] <SolarisBoy> exactly
[08:09] <SolarisBoy> nomodeset - like i been getting to - checking your settings...
[08:09] <lymon> but when i do the hd nothing at all
[08:09] <lymon> yeah i installed it like that
[08:09] <lymon> and nothing :/
[08:09] <stueng> if you hold down shift on boot, dont you get a "safe mode" or something? I cant remember
[08:09] <wilee-nilee> SolarisBoy, you are not saying anybodies nic welcome to my ignore
[08:09] <SolarisBoy> great
[08:10] <SolarisBoy> maybe youll stop saying my name then
[08:10] <SolarisBoy> genius
[08:10] <sbattey> wilee-nilee don;t be a dick
[08:10] <SolarisBoy> anyway - lymon - i had this same issue on my last install
[08:10] <SolarisBoy> cd works hd doesn't - vid setting are out of wack
[08:10] <SolarisBoy> start with nomodeset like thingy told you there
[08:11] <lymon> kk
[08:11] <stueng> hello. under ubuntu server with xorg installed and XBMC the performnace of XBMC is sluggish unless I startx as root
[08:11] <wilee-nilee> lymon, feel free to ask any questions on inserting the nomodeset in the kernel as suggestd you need to hold down the shift at powering on to see the grub menu
[08:12] <wilee-nilee> lymon, there is a safe mode as well in the recovery boot
[08:12] <iceroot> stueng: i had the same issue, the problem was das pulseaudio was not running and xbmc tried to contact it all the time
[08:12] <lukicat> when i start ubuntu it comes up with the start sound but only a black screen. after switchting to text mode and back to graphic mode all is fine... how to solve this? =)
[08:12] <iceroot> stueng: then i used lightdm with xbmc-standalone
[08:13] <iceroot> stueng: lightdm is starting pulse, dbus and so on correctly, you are missing pulse and dbus
[08:13] <wilee-nilee> lukicat, you now the graphic card?
[08:13] <stueng> iceroot: I dont have a DE, just plain xorg. what is xbmc-standlone ?
[08:13] <wilee-nilee> know*
[08:13] <lymon> actually
[08:13] <vexaxv> hey guys i installed gnome 3 (gnome-shell and gnome-common) via the repos in ubuntu 12.04 and i want to remove all the gnome 3 crap now im not liking it to much lol, but when i uninstall those two i downloaded theres still the options at log in screen, so im guessing theres dependencies or something i have to uninstall too? or other crap that came with it? so how do i uninstall everything related to that package like i did when i install
[08:13] <vexaxv> ed it, via terminal or whatever
[08:13] <iceroot> stueng: xbmc-standalone is an entry in lightdm just like unity, lxde, kde and so on
[08:13] <lukicat> wilee-nilee, think its an intel gma, but i dont know exactly
[08:13] <lymon> do you guys think it would make a difference if i used the hdmi port instead of vga for this comp?
[08:14] <iceroot> stueng: and your problem is you have plain-x and you are not starting pulse and dbus
[08:14] <stueng> iceroot: I dont want or have lightdm
[08:14] <iceroot> stueng: then start pulse, dbus and so on
[08:14] <stephanmg> is it worth reading the "debian user handbook" if i'm running  a ubuntu system? (thought i never used debian)
[08:14] <stueng> iceroot: ok, so I should install pulse and dbus
[08:14] <iceroot> stueng: you also have to start them
[08:14] <stueng> ok, ill have ot reboot to do that.. soooo bbiab, thanks
[08:14] <stueng> iceroot: ok, start then using the service command?
[08:14] <iceroot> stueng: i dont see a problem having lightdm + session "xbmc-standalone" with autologin
[08:14] <Dr_Willis> lymon: why uze vga wgen you got hdmi?
[08:14] <wilee-nilee> vexaxv, checkout playing around to remove the full gnome-shell  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/
[08:14] <iceroot> stueng: you will not see lightdm then
[08:15] <stueng> iceroot: sounds good, ill try it
[08:15] <iceroot> stephanmg: yes
[08:15] <stueng> iceroot: so I will install lightdm, pulse, dbus and then edit lightdm.cfg to make my default session xbmc-standalone ?
[08:15] <lymon> umm
[08:16] <lymon> i put this at my desktop stand and not at my tv stand
[08:16] <iceroot> stueng: correct
[08:16] <lymon> so should i try that then?
[08:16] <stueng> iceroot: ok, bbiab then, reboot
[08:16] <wilee-nilee> lukicat, try the safe mode in the recovery if you are not in and check the additional drivers app if you are updated.
[08:16] <lukicat> kk, try to update everything, wilee-nilee
[08:17] <iceroot> lukicat: i had the same problem, the issue is that the splashscreen is not killed correctly, my workaround was to disable the splashscreen
[08:17] <lymon> gah
[08:17] <wilee-nilee> lukicat, the additional drivers many times has the drivers needed if not getting auto installed.
[08:17] <lymon> i think im going to try and use it on hdmi port
[08:18] <ninux> does anybode use awesome wm here???
[08:18] <lymon> ill brb then since old pc is currently on tv
[08:18] <lukicat> iceroot, thanks for the workaround. gonna try it, if driver updates wont work
[08:18] <iceroot> lukicat: edit /etc/default/grub there is a line with quit splash  remove the two strings, save the file, run sudo update-grup and reboot
[08:19] <lymon> err actulaly brb if i still get issues
[08:19] <Dr_Willis> 'quiet splash'     ;)
[08:19] <SolarisBoy> sure... though moving the pc to fix this is non optimal
[08:20] <goddard> how much does the file system differ when comparing debian and ubuntu?
[08:20] <SolarisBoy> the filesystem structure? or the fs?
[08:21] <Dr_Willis> both follow the LSB dont they?
[08:21] <goddard> the structure
[08:21] <Dr_Willis> !lsb
[08:21] <SolarisBoy> they are about the same
[08:21] <iceroot> goddard: both are the same
[08:21] <J11_> I upgraded my distro, and now my ICS stopped working, it seems the iptables rules are in place but the dhcp server isn't
[08:21] <iceroot> goddard: but because of different programs (e.g. upstart) there are different directories too
[08:21] <SolarisBoy> right
[08:21] <SolarisBoy> or other little customized things ubuntu does things..
[08:24] <enclosed> when i try to boot from the live cd i get a black screen with a blinking dash on the top left of the screen...
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset | enclosed
[08:25] <SolarisBoy> that must be a popular one here over past couple of weeks huh?
[08:25] <wilee-nilee> !nomodeset | enclosed
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> couple of yeaars
[08:25] <SolarisBoy> understandable
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> they need to just make it a default option/entry on the main menu. ;a0
[08:26] <SolarisBoy> i'd say
[08:26] <SolarisBoy> rather than breakage first - =)
[08:26] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: thanks i will try that
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> i dont need it any more fo rmy nvidia ssytms..  used to be i had to use it
[08:26] <SolarisBoy> i think my whole company had to put that line in on the same day
[08:26] <SolarisBoy> lol
[08:27] <SolarisBoy> interesting - im scared to move it now
[08:27] <carpi> Hi. I have a dual monitor setup. And I have twinview on both. But on one of my Flat panel monitors, when I maximize any application window the title bar disappears.. Could someone please tell me how I might solve it?
[08:27] <vexaxv> hey guys i accidentally deleted gnome-session and i cant log on now, how do i get to a command prompt so i can reinstall via terminal
[08:27] <stephanmg> iceroot: i just thought ubuntu would be completely different and you should not use the debian stuff.
[08:28] <iceroot> stephanmg: because they use different software versions and sometimes different methods
[08:28] <Dr_Willis> carpi: it goes into the unity panel i thought.. at lessssst it does here
[08:28] <ikonia> vexaxv: boot into recovery mode from grub
[08:29] <vexaxv> ikonia, i did
[08:29] <carpi> Dr_Willis: Im not using Unity actually..
[08:29] <wilee-nilee> stephanmg, ubuntu is basically based on debian, hardly different fundamentally really, just modified and newer packages
[08:29] <vexaxv> ikonia, now what
[08:30] <SolarisBoy> all ubuntu's start at a debian
[08:30] <ikonia> vexaxv: install the package as you said
[08:30] <carpi> Dr_Willis: the thing is, I am able to get the view on both monitors. Only problem is.. on one of the monitors the image is scaled beyond the edge..
[08:30] <Dr_Willis> carpi:  sounds like an 'overscan' setting perhps
[08:30] <vexaxv> ikonia, i only get the option to do root..but i have to enable networking and after i do then type something and hit enter it says filesystem not mounted or somethin like that and trys to do a normal boot
[08:32] <carpi> Dr_Willis: Genius. Thank you very much. I adjusted the Overscan setting in the NVIDIA X Server Settings.. : ) It worked
[08:32] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: okay somewhat made some progress that time.. it spit some errors out at me, can you help me make sense of this? i took a picture of my screen. http://db.tt/hKiIWiUT
[08:32] <vexaxv> ikonia, it wont let me do anything it trys to boot normal before i can type anything into the root termina
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> carpi:  i see that when using tv's as monitors
[08:32] <ikonia> vexaxv: what do you mean you can't type anything into the root terminal
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> enclosed: i dont even rember the original issue
[08:33] <vexaxv> ikonia, when i enable networking then if i sit there at the terminal for 3 sec something comes across the screen then it trys to boot normal
[08:33] <ngaba> with Hungarian locale, in the main window of claws-mail, I can see absolutely strange date: "2012.54.23.(Sze) 12:54"
[08:33] <ikonia> vexaxv: how are you trying to enable networking ?
[08:33] <ngaba> what is wrong? other programs (like mc), seems OK.
[08:33] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: black screen with blinking dash in top right hand corner.. i set nomodeset then tried to boot from the live cd and got this error http://db.tt/hKiIWiUT
[08:34] <vexaxv> ikonia, with the enable networking option then pressing ctrl alt delete to go back
[08:34] <vexaxv> to click root
[08:34] <carpi> Dr_Willis: yea.. im using a flat panel TV as a monitor. However it is working now. Thanks for the hint.
[08:34] <ikonia> click root ??? you should just be booting into a root shell, no menu's/gui
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> carpi:  yep. had exact same issue with a tv as a monitor.
[08:34] <lukicat> wilee-nilee, now i updated some drivers and got a really bad result... again graphical mode only comes up after switchting to text mode, but now the graphical display is only available in the upper half of the monitor =(
[08:35] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[08:35] <vexaxv> ikonia, if u hold shift grub comes up, then u can click recovery mode i can still go the the login screen but the "unity" session and gnome session had disappeared from the menu so when i type in my password and log in nothing happens
[08:35] <wilee-nilee> lukicat, had you installed drivers before this change
[08:36] <lukicat> hmm not really, just did a clean installation of ubuntu 12.04
[08:36] <ikonia> vexaxv: recovery mode should not be a deskop/gui
[08:37] <vexaxv> ikonia, what do u mean
[08:37] <freakolowsky> ok this is getting ridiculus ... i have 8GB of RAM (40% free), ihave i7 quadcore proc (top shows nothing above 5%), i have a Radeon with 1GB RAM ... yet unity i still glitchy when switching wrkspaces .. what gives
[08:37] <SolarisBoy> lol
[08:37] <wilee-nilee> lukicat, graphics are not really a strong area for me but the channel needs to know exactly what you have run this command and post the results.  lspci | grep VGA
[08:37] <unkn-error> when updating, upgrading and installing packages with apt, synaptic and aptitude dose the package manager do a check (of hash, md5 or sha etc.) to see if the downloaded archive/packages are saine(healthly)?
[08:37] <ikonia> vexaxv: when you launch into recovery mode, it should drop you into a shell, not a desktop
[08:38] <vexaxv> ikonia, it brings me to a menu
[08:38] <SolarisBoy> yea i think it does which asks you what you want to do - run fsck etc etc etc
[08:38] <vexaxv> ikonia, resume clean dpkg failsafex fsck grub network root system-summary
[08:38] <ikonia> versi: what are the menu options
[08:38] <ikonia> vexaxv: which one are you picking ?
[08:38] <ikonia> vexaxv: which option are you selecting ?
[08:39] <vexaxv> ikonia, network to enable networking (my blue light comes on) then root so i can get in the terminal but if i wait 3 sec if retrys to boot normal
[08:39] <vexaxv> cant even type anything in
[08:39] <ikonia> vexaxv: just select "root"
[08:39] <stephanmg> wilee-nilee: okay, thank you
[08:39] <enclosed> i am trying to boot from the live cd at first i was getting a black screen with a blinking dash in the top right hand corner so i set nomodeset and it started to boot but i got this error.. can someone help me make sense of it? http://db.tt/hKiIWiUT
[08:39] <lukicat> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev 06)
[08:40] <vexaxv> ikonia, k hang on
[08:40] <lukicat> wilee-nilee, i think its an known error with this ugly graphic card, going to google it again...
[08:40] <vexaxv> k im in the terminal now what
[08:40] <vexaxv> ikonia, how can i turn on the internet via terminal
[08:40] <ikonia> vexaxv: now you should be able to install the missing packages
[08:40] <ikonia> vexaxv: use the init script
[08:40] <ikonia> vexaxv: or manually set it up
[08:41] <ikonia> vexaxv: eg: ip or ifconfig
[08:41] <vexaxv> ikonia, my internet isnt on, i have to click enable networking lol but thats what messes it up, so what do i type to turn on the wifi
[08:42] <ikonia> vexaxv: I'm busy patching a machine at the moment and you don't appear to be listening to what I say when I say "don't click enable networking" - manually setup the network connection with "ip" or "ifconfig"
[08:42] <SolarisBoy> ifconfig <interface> <ip address> netmask <your netmask> up would work
[08:42] <vexaxv> ikonia, i never said i did click it i heard what u said, i dont know how to manually do it
[08:43] <SolarisBoy> vexaxv: ^
[08:43] <SolarisBoy> im assuming your in a root shell and the user root - else you need to prepend sudo
[08:43] <SolarisBoy> brb
[08:43] <ngaba> hm, I've just realized that month == minute
[08:45] <vexaxv> says the package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened
[08:45] <vexaxv> when i try to install a pkg via terminal
[08:46] <sheepy> I usually use apt-get to update, and it had been holding back a kernel update, but yesterday I used the GUI and it updated the kernel and started chucking up loads of crash report errors on boot and unity 3d has switched back to unity 2d
[08:47] <curiousx> aloha all :D
[08:47] <sheepy> I just updated the kernel again today, the crash report popups are gone now, but I seem to be stuck in Unity 2d
[08:47] <sheepy> *errors on login, not boot
[08:47] <vexaxv> how do i connect to another computer via ip on ubuntu 12.04
[08:47] <vexaxv> like teamviewer
[08:48] <SolarisBoy> you use a connection protocol
[08:48] <fizyplankton> vexaxv: if all you need is a shell, use ssh
[08:48] <vexaxv> i dont think that would even work..
[08:48] <sheepy> is there any way to get unity to try running in the normal unity mode, as it seems to be stuck in unity 2d, even though I am not logging in using the "Ubuntu 2d" option at the login screen.
[08:48] <curiousx> vexaxv: with teamviewr
[08:48] <gkaklas> !vnc
[08:48] <vexaxv> i accidentally deleted gnome-session and i casnt login now i need to reinstall it but i cant get to a terminal with internet to reinstall
[08:48] <vexaxv> thats my problem
[08:48] <vexaxv> cant*
[08:49] <SolarisBoy> umm - did you try to do what they told you vexaxv?
[08:49] <curiousx> oh! ye, ubuntu has with vino server but in order to the remote machine you have to open the port 5900
[08:49] <SolarisBoy> which is bring up the interface manually while in safe mode?
[08:49] <SolarisBoy> like the ifconfig line previously shown? - or is that you didn't read that?
[08:49] <vexaxv> SolarisBoy, yes but i dont think i did it properly
[08:49] <SolarisBoy> ok - so fix the command it works
[08:49] <vexaxv> i did ifconfig
[08:49] <vexaxv> just now
[08:50] <vexaxv> i need to turn on wlan0
[08:50] <SolarisBoy> again -
[08:50] <lymon> so ummm yeah guys...
[08:50] <lymon> looks like it works when i used the hdmi port
[08:50] <SolarisBoy> heh
[08:50] <gkaklas> vexaxv, to enable a network interface use "ifup wlan0"
[08:50] <lymon> am i all safe?
[08:50] <lymon> hold on as i restart that pc and check
[08:51] <lymon> now...
[08:51] <SolarisBoy> lol - cute
[08:51] <vexaxv> it says unknown interface
[08:51] <SolarisBoy> exactly
[08:51] <vexaxv> gahh
[08:51] <lymon> to install wireless adapter somehow and then ill install wine and DIABLO3
[08:52] <SolarisBoy> vexaxv: im thinking you use network manager?
[08:52] <lymon> this makes me sad though the problem the whole time was not using hdmi
[08:52] <SolarisBoy> lymon: thats not the problem really
[08:52] <lymon> are you sure?
[08:52] <SolarisBoy> yes
[08:52] <vexaxv> SolarisBoy, i use it to enable my internet when i can actually use my laptop..
[08:52] <lymon> everything is running smoothly now
[08:52] <SolarisBoy> thats because you swapped to hdmi instead of doing nomodeset
[08:52] <gkaklas> vexaxv, does wlan0 appear in the output of "ifconfig"?
[08:52] <vexaxv> SolarisBoy, wlan0 popped up when i did those command u told me with the ip netmask etc
[08:52] <SolarisBoy> so in turn you moved your computer to fix it - non optimal but if it works fine
[08:53] <lymon> well
[08:53] <vexaxv> gkaklas, no
[08:53] <lymon> it works this way better
[08:53] <vexaxv> gkaklas, only lo
[08:53] <SolarisBoy> vexaxv: ifup is for configured interfaces
[08:53] <SolarisBoy> it assumes you have some file that ifup will use
[08:53] <lymon> since what that comp is for is for editing and this monitor is well.... dimmish
[08:53] <SolarisBoy> if your using network manager - you dont have that file
[08:53] <Knightwise> hey everyone
[08:54] <fizyplankton> vexaxv: im assuming you are in the recovery root shell. are you in the shell with networking?
[08:54] <vexaxv> SolarisBoy, okay so what do i need to do to get the internet working..
[08:54] <Knightwise> anyone have any experience with booting 12.04 on a G4 imac ?
[08:54] <SolarisBoy> bring up the wlan the same way network manager would
[08:54] <Knightwise> I try to boot from the cd but the sceen just goes blanc
[08:54] <gkaklas> vexaxv, then you have to configure the wlan0 interface manually...
[08:54] <vexaxv> fizyplankton, i am but when i click enable networking after about 5 sec it trys to boot again which takes me out of recovery mode
[08:54] <vexaxv> gkaklas, k how
[08:55] <SolarisBoy> first is wireless your only option? vexaxv?
[08:55] <vexaxv> SolarisBoy, yes
[08:55] <SolarisBoy> ok - then carry on
[08:56] <fizyplankton> vexaxv: another idea, since it looks like internet wont work for quite some time, if you only deleted the gnome-session folder (wherever that may have been), just live boot from a cd and copy and paste it
[08:56] <vexaxv> when im in recovery mode when i click enable networking then go back to the terminal i type ctrl alt delete i think that may be why it trys to load, whats the appropriate key to hit to go back
[08:56] <vexaxv> fizyplankton, i have ubuntu on a usb
[08:56] <fizyplankton> vexaxv: is the broken ubuntu on the usb?
[08:56] <vexaxv> fizyplankton, no its a new copy
[08:57] <fizyplankton> vexaxv: then if you just deleted a folder, boot live from the usb and copy it
[08:57] <vexaxv> fizyplankton, i deleted the pkg via synaptic
[08:57] <SolarisBoy> or you can boot the cd mount the drive and chroot into it
[08:57] <fizyplankton> now thats an idea.
[08:57] <llutz_> vexaxv: boot into normal mode, login at console, install your package
[08:57] <Moscherkobold> hello everyone, is this the right place to ask a question about ubuntu one?
[08:57] <gkaklas> vexaxv, could you repeat your problem with gnome..?
[08:57] <vexaxv> k so wait if im on live desktop via usb how do i get into my o.s to install gnome-session back
[08:58] <llutz_> vexaxv: why do you use recovery mode with all its limitations for this?
[08:58] <vexaxv> i accidentally deleted gnome-session
[08:58] <fizyplankton> llutz_: its not that simple
[08:58] <llutz_> fizyplankton: it is
[08:58] <SolarisBoy> llutz_: problem being setting up his wireless is a task for a beginner
[08:58] <vexaxv> so when i try to login theres nothing not kdm gnome unity
[08:58] <vexaxv> nothin
[08:58] <jstoone> Hi, I'm using Xmonad as my default window-manager and I need to execute a cmd when i login. What is the best way of doing this?
[08:58] <llutz_> SolarisBoy: nmcli exists
[08:58] <SolarisBoy> its true
[08:58] <llutz_> vexaxv: console-login not X
[08:58] <llutz_> vexaxv: boot, pres alt-ctrl-f1, login
[08:59] <SolarisBoy> let see if that works.....
[08:59] <gkaklas> vexaxv, what does come up when you boot?
[08:59] <jstoone> llutz_: that is tty1 right?
[08:59] <llutz_> jstoone: yes
[08:59] <jstoone>  llutz_: thanks
[08:59] <llutz_> jstoone: line above was not meant for you
[09:00] <vexaxv> i can boot normal and it goes to the login screen
[09:00] <vexaxv> but when u switch from unity to gnome
[09:00] <vexaxv> that little ubuntu button
[09:00] <llutz_> vexaxv: boot, pres alt-ctrl-f1, login
[09:00] <vexaxv> on the login screen
[09:00] <vexaxv> theres nothing
[09:00] <vexaxv> im trying llutz
[09:00]  * SolarisBoy yawns
[09:00] <FloodBot1> vexaxv: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:00] <fidel_> !enter > vexaxv
[09:00] <jstoone> llutz_: sorry, my bad, i needs to be executed each time i boot
[09:00] <vexaxv> llutz_, it just beeps nothing happens
[09:01] <jstoone> llutz_: have to go, but thanks!
[09:01] <llutz_> vexaxv: press "ALT-CTRL-F2"
[09:01] <llutz_> jstoone: line above was not meant for you, i havent answered to your problem
[09:02] <vexaxv> llutz, beeps again then nothing
[09:02] <llutz_> vexaxv: then you have way more problems than just a removed package
[09:02] <vexaxv> llutz, wait it opped up then disappeared
[09:02] <vexaxv> hang on
[09:02] <fizyplankton> vexaxv: if your not in any graphics manager, press alt-sysrq(aka print screen)-r then do ctrl-alt-f1. if you are in a display manager, do ctrl-alt-sysrq-r then ctrl-alt-f1
[09:03] <SolarisBoy> i love those sysrq combos =) super old school
[09:03] <fizyplankton> i know right!
[09:03] <SolarisBoy> lols ;>
[09:03] <fizyplankton> unfortunatly, i frequantly have to use REISUB because my xorg.conf is a nightmare
[09:04] <fizyplankton> and i refuse to try to clean it up because it took me 14 solid hours to get it working
[09:04] <SolarisBoy> yea - sounds like me - i haven't touched anything named xorg. in a long time - my box works lol
[09:04] <sbattey> fizyplankton it;s not just your xorg.conf that is a nightmare….the entire x system is a nightmare
[09:04] <sbattey> I say we cleanse it with fire.
[09:04] <pbx2> how to move the close buttons etc to the right in ubuntu 12.04 lts
[09:04] <SolarisBoy> i think its more so what people do with x to break it
[09:05] <SolarisBoy> lol
[09:05] <sbattey> X is flawed for what it's used for.
[09:05] <fizyplankton> sbattey: get this. i cant use xrandr. im stuck bridging 2 physical graphics cards across 4 monitors with.....wait for it........XCINERAMA
[09:05] <SolarisBoy> oh heck nah
[09:05] <sbattey> Sounds raunchy.
[09:06] <lukicat> how to let ubuntu 12.04 look like e.g. 11.10?
[09:06] <SolarisBoy> ??
[09:06] <SolarisBoy> assuming you have what DE setup?
[09:06] <SolarisBoy> lukicat: do you mean classic gnome?
[09:06] <lukicat> yes
[09:06] <fizyplankton> get this. the when the screensaver turns off, you can see a drop in mem usage on the system monitor graph. hey, a fullscreen app across over five and a half million pixels takes alot of memory
[09:06] <vexaxv> k i got it to work and im in the terminal again but this time when i type ifconfig eth0 pops up
[09:06] <SolarisBoy> im sure the macro link is just a coming,, give it a sec..
[09:07] <vexaxv> how do i enable it so i can download the pkgs
[09:07] <SolarisBoy> fizyplankton: madness !! lol
[09:07] <pbx2> I only get 2d option in login...i don't think you can get gnome in ubuntu 12.04
[09:07] <vexaxv> pbx2, u can
[09:07] <SolarisBoy> vexaxv: thats not hte command i gave you =)
[09:07] <pbx2> vexaxv, how?
[09:07] <SolarisBoy> ifconfig lists interfaces - more options/arguments convfigures them
[09:07] <vexaxv> SolarisBoy, okay what do i do solaris
[09:07] <llutz_> vexaxv: "nmcli con"   it should show you your connections. take the connection name of your wifi-connection and "nmcli con id "that_name" up"
[09:08] <SolarisBoy> look into nmcli thing that llutz mentioned
[09:08] <SolarisBoy> its likely you best option
[09:08] <vexaxv> pbx2, synaptic, install gnome-session
[09:08] <SolarisBoy> && no internet in safe more - wlan only interface - configured via nm - sounds like llutz_ hit it on the head to me..
[09:08] <pbx2> so its not possible to move the close buttons to the right with unity?
[09:09] <tank> Hi pbx2! You can use myUnity or Ubuntu tweak
[09:09] <iceroot> !controls | pbx2
[09:09] <vexaxv> llutz, im trying to connect to ballhome so how do i type it
[09:10] <pbx2> iceroot, the bug link has way too many comments to go through
[09:10] <SolarisBoy> as in the network? ballhome? if you bring up the interface via nm
[09:10] <iceroot> pbx2: there is one command with gconf
[09:10] <llutz_> vexaxv: "ballhome" is given under NAME when you run "nmcli con"?
[09:10] <SolarisBoy> it would automatically look for you remembered networks afaik
[09:10] <SolarisBoy> i think thats the SSID he wants in on
[09:10] <vexaxv> llutz, yes
[09:11] <pbx2> iceroot, do we press alt + f2 to go to gconf
[09:11] <iceroot> pbx2: gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
[09:11] <llutz_> vexaxv: nmcli con id "ballhome" up
[09:11] <iceroot> pbx2: type that in a terminal
[09:11] <pbx2> iceroot, thanks. it works :)
[09:12] <vexaxv> llutz, says error con and id are not valid
[09:12] <SolarisBoy> is the interface up?
[09:12] <SolarisBoy> im sitting looking at my nmcli con output and i see my wireless nets from home
[09:12] <iceroot> pbx2: it was the first entry in the bug :)
[09:12] <llutz_> vexaxv: err*           nmcli con up id "ballhome"
[09:13] <vexaxv> says device not managed by network manager
[09:13] <llutz_> SolarisBoy: those are the connection-names from networkmanager, not necessarily ssids
[09:13] <lymon> can someone help me install a wireless adapter then i should be out of your hairs for a while :P
[09:13] <vexaxv> i setup that network thats the ssid
[09:13] <vexaxv> ballhome
[09:13] <SolarisBoy> vexaxv: try this please: 'nmcli con status'
[09:13] <fizyplankton> lymon: is it a broadcom adapter?
[09:13] <SolarisBoy> and tell or post what comes back
[09:13] <SolarisBoy> those are ssids
[09:14] <vexaxv> nothing is listed llutz
[09:14] <SolarisBoy> in the status command?
[09:14] <vexaxv> just says name uuid devices default vpm master-path
[09:14] <lymon> not sure but its a linksys wusb100
[09:14] <SolarisBoy> so no interfaces are up
[09:14] <vexaxv> doesent look like it i guess
[09:15] <vexaxv> my internet icon on my laptop is red
[09:15] <vexaxv> not blue
[09:15] <llutz_> vexaxv: nmcli -p dev
[09:15] <vexaxv> so id say no
[09:15] <kmdm> Ok, I give up, how do I just report a new bug in Ubuntu when I simply can't use ubuntu-bug to file it and the obvious web link just redirects to the wiki page instructing you to use ubuntu-bug? :/ Is there just the web-form hiding anywhere?
[09:15] <pbx2> iceroot: it doesn't work for Firefox?
[09:15] <llutz_> vexaxv: does it show wlan0?
[09:15] <vexaxv> eth0 and wlan0 llutz
[09:15] <vexaxv> yes
[09:15] <iceroot> pbx2: working for all programs
[09:15] <fizyplankton> lymon: you are in luck. mine is a linksys wusb300n. the procedures should be similar (tho you wont like it one bit
[09:15] <pbx2> maybe I need to restart...
[09:16] <lymon> alright then so whats up....?
[09:16] <SolarisBoy> nmcli nm enable wifi
[09:16] <fizyplankton> let me see if the kernal patch is compatible with your card
[09:16] <SolarisBoy> that may be what you all are looking to do..
[09:16] <vexaxv> how do i turn on wlan0 through nmcli
[09:17] <lymon> as in graphics card?
[09:17] <nibbler_> hi. in ubuntu 12.4 i cannot use the gnome file browser to connect to my samba share anymore (smb://$IP/share) - i checked my settings with smbclient - there it works. any  hint?
[09:17] <lymon> bad news with that lol.... my graphics card shows up as unknown
[09:17] <fizyplankton> wifi card
[09:17] <lymon> oic
[09:17] <fizyplankton> this is best handled in a pm
[09:18] <SolarisBoy> vexaxv: the wlan is seen if it shows in print devices - have you tried that enable thing?
[09:18] <SolarisBoy> 'nmcli nm enable wifi'
[09:18] <eul3r> hello.
[09:18] <vexaxv> invalid paremeters
[09:18] <gkaklas> kmdm, I'm not sure but try this link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect
[09:19] <llutz_> vexaxv: nmcli nm wifi on
[09:19] <kmdm> gkaklas: You're a star :) thanks!
[09:19] <vexaxv> llutz, k light is still red but i typed it and nothing came up
[09:20] <vexaxv> nm
[09:20] <eul3r> my
[09:20] <eul3r> .04
[09:20] <vexaxv> i typed sudo apt-get install gimp to test it and all the mirrors it says could not resolve
[09:20] <llutz_> vexaxv: try again:  nmcli con up id ballhome              <- make sure to spell ballhome exact as given from "nmcli con"
[09:21] <iceroot> vexaxv: which ubuntu-version?
[09:22] <vexaxv> im on ballhome right now on this laptop and that laptop says not managed by network manager or unavailable
[09:22] <vexaxv> ubuntu 12.04
[09:22] <iceroot> vexaxv: ah ok seeing what llutz_ is saying it seems more of a network problem then the eol problem
[09:22] <vexaxv> im about to just reinstall dang
[09:22] <vexaxv> i just need internet in the terminal so i can reinstall the gnome-session >.<
[09:23] <vexaxv> whats rf kill
[09:23] <vexaxv> i typed sudo ifconfig wlan0 up and it says it cant due to rf kill
[09:23] <llutz_> vexaxv: sudo rfkill unblock all
[09:24] <eul3r> can
[09:24] <vexaxv> still says it cant due to rf kill
[09:25] <llutz_> vexaxv: "rfkill list wifi"  does it show hard- or soft-blocked for your wifi?
[09:25] <pungi-man> i am having some problem running xmonad can anyone please sovel it.this text (http://paste.ubuntu.com/1004401/) is coming when i run it in terminal by the command "xmonad" without quotes. I am using ubuntu 12.04
[09:25] <pbx2> iceroot, it doesn't work for windows which are maximized. the close buttons are to the left if maximized.
[09:25] <vexaxv> hard for hp wifi
[09:25] <vexaxv> phy0 hard
[09:25] <pbx2> and I don't like the file and menu options being merged with the top bar
[09:25] <llutz_> vexaxv: does your laptop have any key-combos/switches to en-/disable wifi?
[09:26] <eul3r> the
[09:26] <llutz_> eul3r:  Do you have any ubuntu support related question?
[09:26] <vexaxv> the touch button on my laptop but it wont work when i touch it
[09:26] <pbx2> is it possible to have separate windows, where options are not merged with taskbar?
[09:26] <vexaxv> nm i got it
[09:26] <SolarisBoy> switch was off?
[09:26] <vexaxv> the light is blue now >.<
[09:26] <pbx2> i.e. File, Edit etc...
[09:26] <llutz_> vexaxv: try again:  nmcli con up id ballhome              again
[09:27] <vexaxv> i think im already connecting sudo apt-get update is going
[09:27] <vexaxv> :)
[09:27] <SolarisBoy> whammy
[09:27] <vexaxv> yep update worked
[09:27] <vexaxv> holy cow :)
[09:27] <llutz_> in the end ...
[09:28] <vexaxv> installing gnome-session >.<
[09:28] <pbx2> is there supposed to be some 3d effects I am not seeing like in windows 7 aero theme where you can preview the windows minimized etc?
[09:29] <vexaxv> thank u guys
[09:29] <vexaxv> gotta wait and make sure it works now..

[09:30] <mrgt> hey. having a problem with my wireless card. attempted to follow the steps listed here - https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/internet/C/troubleshooting-wireless.html. But after installing the driver it's still displaying the pci as 'unclaimed'
[09:30] <BlouBlou> cryptfu: no
[09:31] <vexaxv> woohoo it worked thanks guys

[09:33] <loculinux> Hello dido
[09:33] <pbx2> pungi-man, that doesn't work
[09:33] <BlouBlou> CrypticS_: interesting, I have never seen how to enable it
[09:34] <pungi-man> configure it in Compiz settings
[09:34] <BlouBlou> anyways, no 3D glasses :P
[09:34] <CrypticS_> BlouBlou: just did the standard upgrade and that's how it rebooted
[09:35] <mayanks43> hey, my wifi stopped working after upgrade to 12.04
[09:35] <pbx2> pungi-man, where is the Compiz settings?
[09:35] <mayanks43> i can't see wlan0 in iwconfig
[09:35] <pungi-man> type ccsm in unity home
[09:35] <mayanks43> and sudo modprobe iwlwifi shows not found
[09:35] <mayanks43> any ideas?
[09:36] <pbx2> pungi-man, no matches
[09:38] <llutz_> mayanks43: "modprobe -l iwl*"
[09:39] <mayanks43> llutz_: FATAL: Can't have multiple wildcards

[09:40] <d8bhatta> Hello, my client has provided me pub key in a file called newservername.pub , and I do already have my  keys in my local host.  I am not sure how can i include that .pub file in my computer so that I can perform sftp or ssh? Help needed!
[09:40] <llutz_> mayanks43: uname -r
[09:41] <mayanks43> llutz_: 3.3.6
[09:41] <SolarisBoy> d8bhatta: you can use it manually like this ssh -i .pub or you can setup for .ssh/config file to point it automaticlly each time
[09:42] <llutz_> mayanks43: check changelogs for 3.3.x then. 3.2.x has come with iwlwifi, no idea why 3.3. doesn't
[09:42] <mayanks43> ok
[09:42] <georgee> I tried to install suphp and Browser starts downloading PHP files any ideas?
[09:42] <SolarisBoy> d8bhatta: technically the command would be more like 'ssh -i /path/to/key.pub user@host' but as stated you can setup in .ssh/config or the global alternative to point the Host and what user and what key to use - and then you can simply do 'ssh hostname' and the setttings will be read in
[09:42] <llutz_> mayanks43: or does iwlegacy replace it now? idk
[09:42] <arturaz> Hello. I'm planning on installing ubuntu 12.04 on a fresh server with two 300GB drives. Can default server installer make them into mirror raid?
[09:43] <mayanks43> llutz_: not sure
[09:43] <pbx2> its my understanding that you can set up a file server for a small office using ubuntu os...but where do all the cat6 wires from other computers go...assuming the office is not set up for wireless
[09:43] <arturaz> Hello. I'm planning on installing ubuntu 12.04 on a fresh server with two 300GB drives. Can default server installer make them into mirror raid? And will GRUB will be able to boot it?
[09:43] <llutz_> mayanks43: what wifi-chipset?
[09:44] <llutz_> pbx2: to a router/gateway/patchfield
[09:44] <mayanks43> Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6230 AGN
[09:44] <pbx2> will like a simple network switch work as a router?
[09:44] <pbx2> because there are many computers
[09:44] <pbx2> routers only have 4 ports
[09:44] <llutz_> pbx2: switches exist
[09:45] <zparta> you connect a cable from the router to the switch and connect the computers to the switch
[09:45] <llutz_> mayanks43: modinfo iwlegacy              shows only 3945/4965 as suported with 3.2.x
[09:46] <pbx2> zparta, so everything gets connected to the switch right? i.e. isp connection, file server, all the computers?
[09:46] <zparta> isp in the router
[09:46] <mayanks43> llutz_: same here
[09:46] <zparta> on th wan port
[09:46] <eul3r> Ubuntu has hard freezed on my laptop . I can move mouse pointer but cant click anything  I can't shut down my laptop too . What do I need to do ?
[09:46] <llutz_> mayanks43: i'd check kernel-changelogs then
[09:46] <zparta> pbx2: and one cable from the 4 lan ports on the router to the switch then connect all computers to the switch including the file server
[09:46] <mayanks43> llutz_: k
[09:47] <fidel_> eul3r: 1 option is ssh-in and use the shutdown cmd
[09:47] <Drajwer> anyone using 12.04 lts with gnome panels?
[09:47] <Dr_Willis> hmm. now why would i  be able to ssh into my box via its ip directly, but not via its dyndns.org type name. which was working earlier today. guess a dyndns issue.
[09:47] <Drajwer> are gnome panels in official repos still?
[09:47] <eul3r> fidel_: i can't do anything. Ubuntu doesnt respond to keypress.
[09:47] <pbx2> zparta, thanks, and does it matter which kind of switch I buy? like there are unmanaged and managed switches?
[09:48] <fidel_> eul3r: i am talking about using another computer - login from that box via ssh to the 'problem-box' and cause a shutdown from that remote session
[09:48] <d8bhatta> SolarisBoy: thanks, I just realized that the provided file is called  newtestserver.pem and when I run the command you gave "ssh -i /path/to/key.pub user@host" it gives error like ssh: Could not resolve hostname newtestserver.pem: Name or service not known . This error may be reasonable because of .pem file
[09:48] <Magnu> im not sure how to get tvtime to work with an avermedia, "AVerTV Volar HD" (N11360). it seems possible but i have no real idea of what im doing. so far it says"no video source".
[09:49] <fidel_> eul3r: as alternative idea - try pressing: CTRL + ALT + F1  (if you are used to tty)
[09:49] <SolarisBoy> same deal d8bhatta just use proper file name - and also. keys have specific permission to keep 600 on the file 700 on the top level folder
[09:49] <SolarisBoy> just an fyi =)
[09:49] <eul3r> fidel_: ctrl+alt+f1 doesnt work
[09:50] <TobsCore> hey, is HUD implemented in Ubuntu 12.04?
[09:50] <TobsCore> and if so, how can I trigger it?
[09:51] <Hyperbyte> Hey.  Anyone here who has experience with Samba and LDAP?  With 12.04, I can't connect to shares anymore.  Samba has problems with getting the right primary group ID for a user.
[09:51] <yeats> TobsCore: when you have a program open, hit the alt key
[09:52] <TobsCore> yeats, thanks :)
[09:53] <Dr_Willis> hold down  SUPER key to show keybindings for unity
[09:53] <d8bhatta> SolarisBoy: great..it perfectly works. thanks, great support.
[09:53] <SolarisBoy> sure buddy ;>
[09:53] <eul3r> fidel_: I get network error : connection timed out.
[09:53] <yeats> Dr_Willis: nice - I didn't know that
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> yeats:  time to check  out some new features in 12.04 sites/guides ;)
[09:55] <zparta> pbx2: does not matter in a small scale network
[09:55] <yeats> Dr_Willis: yeah - just haven't bothered :-)
[09:55] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: your smb.conf wouldn't have changed at all would it have?
[09:55] <pungi-man> i am having some problem running xmonad can anyone please sovel it.this text (http://paste.ubuntu.com/1004401/) is coming when i run it in terminal by the command "xmonad" without quotes. I am using ubuntu 12.04 gnome
[09:55] <kippy> Guys, can I re-connect to same x-session after a disconnect? I am using xrdp (on server) and remmina to connect
[09:55] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: also specifically which ldap? microsoft AD "ldap" or a real implementation of ldap like openLDAP?
[09:55] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, I've changed some things.  I don't think the problem is in smb.conf though.
[09:56] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, 389 directory server. :)
[09:56] <fidel_> eul3r: mh - if it doesnt react on CTRL+ALT+F1 nor to a ssh-connect you havent that much options left
[09:56] <SolarisBoy> SolarisBoy: ohhh nice =) indeed
[09:56] <Hyperbyte> I'll provide you with a full log file of what happens.
[09:56] <Malsasa> Hello, i wanna do compilation for applications from source in ubuntu... what should i prepare for that?
[09:56] <SolarisBoy> uh oh -
[09:56] <pbx2> zparta: appreciate the information. thanks. :)
[09:56] <fidel_> eul3r: there are some sys-keys you might be able to press - but i dont have them in mind. maybe someone else can hel
[09:56] <fidel_> *help*
[09:56] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: j.p ill take a look - no promises - im in the office =)
[09:56] <llutz_> !compile | Malsasa
[09:56] <SolarisBoy> if it's jumping out and stabbing me ill tell you about it though
[09:56] <llutz_> !checkinstall | Malsasa
[09:57] <eul3r> I am using PuTTY for ssh . I just need to type in ip address right fidel_ ?
[09:57] <Malsasa> wow, thank you.
[09:57] <Malsasa> I dont know it before...
[09:57] <fidel_> eul3r: i am not using putty myself - but yeah: defining protocol and host ip should be everything you need to do afaik
[09:58] <CrypticSquared> so back to my 3D ubuntu problem.. anyone seen it before?
[09:58] <fidel_> putty should ask for the user afterwards afaik
[09:58] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, that is very much appreciated.  Samba logs say on connect that primary group SID of a user, does not match the domain of the user.  pdbedit -u jan -v  shows this to be correct, different SID's.  This is the full debug output form pdbedit -u jan -v:  http://dev.hfive.nl/sambaldap.txt
[09:58] <Hyperbyte> Search for the text "primary group" to jump to the interesting part
[09:58] <SolarisBoy> ahh
[09:59] <SolarisBoy> i swear i saw that before.. hmm
[09:59] <kippy> How can I reconnect to same remote x-session after a disconnect? I am using xrdp on remote machine and remmina to connect
[09:59] <Hyperbyte> The group exists in ldap.  'net groupmap list' confirms it.  I've ran the LDAP query manually, it gives exactly one result - the correct group.  Yet somehow Samba thinks it is not a domain group.
[10:00] <Hyperbyte> The type of the group is specified while creating the groupmap as type=domain though, and LDAP sambaGroupType is 2, which reflects that.
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> kippy:  try reconnecting yet? its possible the x-session closed and you cant reconnect
[10:00] <SolarisBoy> silly question your nsswitch didn't change?
[10:00] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, mmm...
[10:01] <kippy> Dr_willis, i reconnected, but it gives me a new session i think with the desktop, I can't see my running applications, although pgrep lists them
[10:01] <Hyperbyte> Well yes actually
[10:01] <SolarisBoy> mmhmm interesting
[10:01] <Hyperbyte> Rather than specify "ldap files" it now says "files ldap"
[10:01] <SolarisBoy> swap it back?
[10:01] <SolarisBoy> and try that again
[10:01] <SolarisBoy> no restarts should be needed .
[10:01] <Hyperbyte> Will try.
[10:01] <SolarisBoy> kk
[10:02] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, no change.
[10:02] <georgee> is there a command to mannually delete logs with logograte rather than set a cron ?
[10:02] <hroi> Im looking at a blade station that can offer 1TB in DDR3 RAM.
[10:02] <SolarisBoy> oy
[10:02] <hroi> 16 cores
[10:03] <hroi> Im wondering if the linux kernel supports such large RAM memory access
[10:03] <SolarisBoy> what type of blade station?
[10:03] <llutz_> georgee: logrotate <config-file>
[10:03] <SolarisBoy> just curious - vendor etc.
[10:03] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: going to actually look at the log now..
[10:03] <hroi> SolarisBoy: DELL power edge R 910
[10:04] <georgee> llutz_: the location of config-file?
[10:04] <llutz_> georgee: /etc/logrotate.d/*   perhaps
[10:04] <hroi> SolarisBoy:  can buy this blade direct from DELL for 30-50k$, can have 1TB RAM, 16core for this money,
[10:05] <llutz_> georgee: or just /etc/logrotate.conf   for the main-config
[10:05] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, thanks
[10:05] <hroi> SolarisBoy:  I imagine I could run a knockout web-service with one of these things
[10:05] <eul3r> So i can ping into my laptop which has hard-freezed but cant ssh into it . Any solution ?
[10:05] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/administrators/32979-solved-repair-corrupted-ldap.html
[10:05] <georgee> llutz_: -bash: /etc/logrotate.conf: Permission denied
[10:05] <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 (compose key, caps-lock-as-backspace, layout-shift-keys...) seem to have stopped, too.
[10:05] <SolarisBoy> possible hit for you - still looking..
[10:06] <SolarisBoy> hroi: heck yea man =)
[10:06] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, been Googling all morning... that last link is specific to some software callled Zimbra.
[10:06] <llutz_> georgee: needs sudo
[10:06] <Magnu> im not sure how to get tvtime to work with an avermedia, "AVerTV Volar HD" (N11360). it seems possible but i have no real idea of what im doing. so far it says"no video source".
[10:06] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: sure - but zimbra uses ldap the same
[10:07] <unkn-error> anyone know what is the maximum swap size partition for 32bit with kernel 3.x? I have read that 2.4 or 2.6 had a maximum of 2 Gb size per swap partition, but I have also read that some people use 256 Gb of swap
[10:07] <SolarisBoy> he has the same error UNKNOWN error thingy.
[10:07] <SolarisBoy> and from what i recall it could be related to some thing deep in the user setting or group setting
[10:07] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, yeah, but their solution is delete and remake the account in Zimbra.
[10:07] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: you need the equivalent
[10:07] <SolarisBoy> possibly delete and recreate the _user_
[10:07] <SolarisBoy> ?
[10:08] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: also i said - possible hit =) - not the hit
[10:08] <need> i need help with my MBR
[10:08] <Darael> !elaborate | need
[10:08] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, I can't delete and recreate my LDAP users...  well I suppose I could, but it'd cause a whole lot more problems than what I have now.  Good link though, if it had more technical info I'd be happy now.
[10:08] <SolarisBoy> no
[10:09] <SolarisBoy> the local mapped user/group
[10:09] <SolarisBoy> assuming you have that..
[10:09] <Hyperbyte> Groupmaps are stored in LDAP, I have recreated those a few times.
[10:10] <need> i have corrupt my MBR, i can not enter ubuntu
[10:10] <need> i am using live cd
[10:11] <anil> hi guys i have tata photon plus wireless datacard india  it gets automatically disconnected aftr arnd three hours i have to restart my sys then start intrnet all ove again what seems to be the prblm
[10:11] <ikonia> anil: probably your carrier disconnecting you after 3 hours usage
[10:12] <need> i need to fix the MBR with out reinstall ubuntu
[10:12] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: ok
[10:12] <anil> so it hs nothing to do with the OS ryt??
[10:12] <ikonia> anil: probably not
[10:12] <anil> ok thnx
[10:12] <ikonia> !fixgrub > need
[10:12] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: can you post the ldapsearch line showing the user/group and then show the id of the same from the client? side
[10:13] <alFReD-NSH> I accidentally deleted a lot of js/coffee files
[10:13] <alFReD-NSH> any idea how to recover?
[10:13] <ikonia> alFReD-NSH: they are gone
[10:13] <need> the text is so small i cant see anything
[10:13] <alFReD-NSH> tried scalpel , but it needs headers...
[10:13] <ikonia> need: what can you not see ?
 Is there a max?
[10:14] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, http://dev.hfive.nl/ldapsearch.txt
[10:14] <need> the text of the chat page is so small
[10:14] <alFReD-NSH> So there's no way that I can recover text files?
[10:14] <eul3r> I can ping to my laptop but can't ssh into it using putty . I get network error : connection refused. What do i do ?
[10:15] <llutz_> eul3r: start ssh on the laptop
[10:15] <ikonia> need:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[10:15] <yeats> !recover | alFReD-NSH
[10:15] <ikonia> need: click that link
[10:15] <eul3r> llutz_: my laptop runing ubuntu has hard-freezed .
[10:15] <llutz_> eul3r: bad luck then
[10:15] <CrypticSquared> BlouBlou: it was the radiance theme
[10:15] <Dr_Willis> eul3r: so power it off/back on
[10:16] <yeats> eul3r: any reason you wouldn't want to do a hard reset on the laptop?
[10:16] <BlouBlou> fail?
[10:16] <eul3r> Dr_Willis: I can't power it off . Tried many times
[10:16] <mcphail> eul3r: alt-sysrq + REISUB to reboot
[10:16] <Magnu> is this post visable?
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> eul3r:  press hold power button for like 10 sec
[10:16] <yeats> Magnu: yes
[10:16] <EsZettAal> need: I suppose you can influence the font size of the webchat in your browser settings
[10:16] <Magnu> cheers
[10:16] <eul3r> mcphail: i am afraid i dont get what you mean .
[10:17] <sirriffsalot> Hey guys! My 3.2.0-23-lowlatency version which I access from grub has a completely messed up screen resolution after downloading a nvidia driver in my 0-24-generic...:(
[10:17] <eul3r> Dr_Willis: tried it 2-3 times. Trying again now.
[10:17] <Azimuth_> !vhost Azimuth@azimuth.fr
[10:17] <sirriffsalot> I get this as the beginning error: "Could not apply stored configuration for monitors"
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> eul3r:  every laptop ive everf seen - i could press and hold power for like 10-15 sec and it would force a power off
[10:17] <Azimuth_> #vhost
[10:17] <mcphail> eul3r: hold down alt+sysRq keys and type REISUB slowly
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> if the laptop has a sysreq key. ;)
[10:19] <ARTSIOM> I am compiling a program in ubuntu 12.04, and it is faling with " undefined reference to `SDL_CreateRGBSurface'", I have libsdl1.2-dev library installed. If it is a wrong channel for this question, can you please point me to a correct one
[10:20] <eul3r> Dr_Willis: thanks a lot ! Your solution worked :) Thanks mcphail too ! Any precaution i need to take to avoid this happening in future ?
[10:20] <llutz_> eul3r: install openssh-server and hope it will be responsive on hard-freezes
[10:20] <sirriffsalot> No one? I've been at it for a day now...
[10:21] <eul3r> ok llutz_ . Forgot to thank you too :P
[10:21] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: looking
[10:21] <iceroot> what is the driver i want to install for a geforce 540m if the driver-tool is not offering a non-free driver?
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> isent theres some kernel/auto reboot on hard dreaze thing?
[10:21] <dz0ny> @eul3r is this ati graphic card?
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> iceroot:  i normally insgtgall nvidia-curent and hope for the best
[10:21] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, it is very much appreciated!  I'm quite stumped with this.
[10:21] <eul3r> ah btw is there a good pdf editor which can select text , highlight text , add/remove notes etc ? I tried xournal but I didn't like it
[10:21] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: from the repos? that is the nonfree? with 3d?
[10:21] <alFReD-NSH> y u no ppl tell me that I could do this `sudo cat /dev/loop0 | grep --binary-files=text -10 'doctype 5'`
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> iceroot:  yes.
[10:22] <lymon> can someone help me install wine and then diablo 3? :P
[10:22] <yeats> sirriffsalot: can you do 'lsmod | grep nouveau'?
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> alFReD-NSH:  we have no idea what you are talking about
[10:22] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: ok so now on the samba client - said group exists? GID 1500?
[10:22] <alFReD-NSH> Dr_Willis: for recovering deleted files
[10:22] <sirriffsalot> yeats: in the lowlatency version?
[10:22] <yeats> !wine | lymon
[10:23] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: thank you for the info, i will have a look
[10:23] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, for the client that doesn't matter.  But on the Samba server Unix group 1500 exists (via LDAP)
[10:23] <Dr_Willis> alFReD-NSH:  i imagine the success rate of that working - can be rather random
[10:23] <alFReD-NSH> Dr_Willis: `doctype 5` was a unique string in the files, so yeah that worked :)
[10:23] <yeats> sirriffsalot: I'm not familiar with what that is, but I'm guessing that nouveau is getting loaded which is why your resolution is wrong
[10:23] <eul3r> I am using mendeley desktop currently but i wanna know if there are better options available !
[10:23] <Magnu> im not sure how to get tvtime to work with an avermedia, "AVerTV Volar HD" (N11360). it seems possible but i have no real idea of what im doing. so far it says"no video source".
[10:24] <alFReD-NSH> Dr_Willis: but well worked for me, found most of them :D
[10:24] <Hyperbyte> I'm not actually running a primary domain controller here... I just need to share some files with a Windows machine, under LDAP user credentials
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> Magnu:  i tend to hit the mythtv forums when messing with tv tuners. ;) often hass good guides.. even if its not tvtimespecific
[10:24] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: cool - is there a working account for comparison value?
[10:24] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, nope.
[10:25] <Hyperbyte> As long as Samba doesn't recognise the primary group, and translates that to a strange group SID not belonging inside the domain, Samba won't allow logins.
[10:25] <Calyp> Anyone has any idea why a computer booting from a Ubuntu 12.04 CD hangs immedietely witha black screen only saying "Loading boot logo.."
 cheers
[10:26] <SolarisBoy> fun stuff
[10:26] <yeats> sirriffsalot: if nouveau shows up in 'lsmod', you'll need to blacklist it for your nvidia driver to work
[10:26] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset | Calyp
[10:26] <Hyperbyte> The whole problem is I can't log on.  I can't log on because my primary group SID isn't part of the domain.  The group SID isn't part of the domain because Samba assigns another one, because it won't recognise my primary gorup iN DALP.
[10:26] <Hyperbyte> I'm quite confident that once Samba assigns the correct primary group, all my problems are over.
[10:26] <sirriffsalot> yeats: alright. finally I might actually learn what blacklisting means?:)
[10:26] <SolarisBoy> question what if anything changed? did you mention an update? on the samba client?
[10:27] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, from 11.04 (Samba 3.5) to 12.04 (Samba 3.6).
[10:27] <Hyperbyte> I read on forums that the group checking has become a lot stricter between 3.5 and 3.6... so I assume this has always been broken, and is only now becoming a problem.
[10:28] <yeats> sirriffsalot: do 'sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf' and add a line to the bottom of the file that says 'blacklist nouveau'
[10:29] <Bauldrick> anyone point me to getting ipod 5g 'seen' un 12.04
[10:29] <love4linux> hhello everyone.. I am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on a laptop with two disks (win7 and previously ubuntu 11) but the bootloader fails to install... anyone can help me with this issue? or any tutorial that I can follow?
[10:30] <sirriffsalot> yeats: cheers, will try after breakfast:)
[10:31] <jiltdil> How to recover data of lvm?
[10:31] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: can please post smb.conf?
[10:31] <tdn> At this bug report, I am asked to chroot into my old rootfs and do apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. However, I am unsure what is needed in order to make a working chroot. Can you help me? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1003309
[10:31] <iceroot> what is the easiet way to see if my system is using 3d from my vga without installing a game?
[10:31] <SolarisBoy> including mod times?
[10:31] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub | lovelin
[10:31] <tdn> jiltdil, what do you mean by recover?
[10:31] <dz0ny> love4linux: did you disable boot anti-virus also what error do you get?
[10:31] <Dr_Willis> iceroot:  using nvidia, run nvidia-settings tool
[10:31] <jiltdil> tdn, Lvm is corrupt, i want to get data back please tell me
[10:32] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, http://dev.hfive.nl/smbconf.txt
[10:32] <tdn> jiltdil, please elaborate. How is lvm corrupt? How do you detect this? And what have you tried so far?
[10:32] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: ok "you are not using nvidia x driver" is maybe the answer i was searching for
[10:33] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: or better its not the answer i am searching for but is answering my questions
[10:33] <Dr_Willis> iceroot:  you did run that tool and have it write teh xorg.conf file?
[10:33] <jiltdil> tdn, using testdisk
[10:33] <SolarisBoy> looks sane - i see no idmap lines but w/e as you stated you may not need them....
[10:34] <SolarisBoy> can you up the ldap debug level and try again looking at the log?
[10:34] <jiltdil> tdn, please tell me method
[10:34] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: yes i will now restart x
[10:34] <Dr_Willis> iceroot, i tend to install nvidia-current, reboot, run nvidia-setting as root, save xorg.conf, then restrt x server
[10:34] <cristian_c> Hi
[10:34] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, maybe I do.
[10:34] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: strange is that nvidia-xsettings told me that my xorg.conf has a parsing error... i never editied by hand
[10:34] <love4linux> dz0ny: just before finishing the installation it pops up a message saying: "Bootloader install failed - Sorry, an error occured and it was not possible to install the bootloader at the specified location". That location is /dev/sdb5 which is described as the Ubuntu 12.04 lts drive
[10:34] <cristian_c> How can I enable pinch gesture on my touchpad in ubuntu?
[10:35] <Calyp> Dr_Willis: Tnx, but I don't get where I'm supposed to make this settings... (?)
[10:35] <jiltdil> Dr_Willis, I have a corrupt lvm. Want to recover Data please help me how to do this?
[10:35] <alFReD-NSH> what is the new line match in regex?
[10:35] <cristian_c> there is this page: http://askubuntu.com/questions/11300/how-do-i-test-multi-gesture-capabilities-of-a-touchpad
[10:35] <love4linux> dz0ny: i tried installing the bootloader at /dev/sdb with no luck
[10:35] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: me thinks so.. but also depending on setup you may not... its a little fuzzy - but if you never had it there (and it worked)- i think its a non issue
[10:35] <cristian_c> but I don't know how to use it
[10:36] <SolarisBoy> but those would be in smb.conf - so i can't see how an upgrade would wipe certain things and preserve others in a file alone
[10:36] <mkarim> salutatios
[10:36] <cristian_c> what set-props are about the pinch?
[10:36] <SolarisBoy> BUT it sounds like just like you said the mapping is broken - which i can only abstract to idmap lines and such in smb.conf
[10:36] <SolarisBoy> but turn up the debug lets see anything else occurs - Hyperbyte
[10:37] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: as it seems my mainproblem is that OPTIMUS is disabling the nvidia-card while x is starting
[10:37] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: i will do some research on that, thank you for the info about nvidia-xconfig
[10:37] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy - this has changed the problem
[10:38] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, are you still here in ~30 minutes?
[10:38] <Hyperbyte> Because I really need some lunch...
[10:38] <dz0ny> love4linux: i see,  can you post "tail /var/log/syslog" there shuold be some indication what's the error
[10:39] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, you're being a great help though!  I thank you from the bottom of my heart. :)
[10:39] <Magnu> how do i reply to a comment in xchat?
[10:39] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: i think i had an ephinany
[10:39] <SolarisBoy> ill be here - in the office
[10:40] <dz0ny> love4linux: you might also read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity
[10:40] <Hyperbyte> I will definitely bug you later then.  Thanks a lot so far. :-)
[10:40] <SolarisBoy> just ping me a few times if anything - no worries sir - i like "interesting" issues like such - call me a glutten or w/e - umm one thing
[10:41] <SolarisBoy> :: /var/run/samba/*tdb || one of those may be corrupted - i recall blowing them away with likewise - im not suggesting it - but maybe it can help provide another path to look at
[10:42] <kosmosSO> http://blog.smartlogicsolutions.com/2009/06/04/mount-options-to-improve-ext4-file-system-performance/

[10:49] <lymon> just wondering does anyone here use or know of lightworks?
[10:49] <love4linux> dz0ny: yes thats the problem, but why? uname -a gives "Linux ubuntu 3.2.0-23-generic-pae #36-ubuntu smp Tue Apr 10 22:19:09 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux"
[10:50] <dz0ny> love4linux: are you installing this on mac?
[10:51] <love4linux> dz0ny: nop, its a HP pavillion dv7-1199ev with two disks. One has win7 and the other had ubuntu 11.10
[10:52] <Calyp> So I gave up on the loading boot logo freeze-up and tried another computer. Same thing, only it don't clear the initial bios bootscreen, so this one is like: "Booting atapi CD ROM:"  ... "Loading boot logo..."  and then nothing more. (12.4 on an old machine (read "Pentium 2")
[10:56] <yeats> !alternate | Calyp
[10:57] <xeviox> hi, where can I change the default sender address ("From" field) of system generated emails?
[10:57] <yeats> Calyp: but... I would assume that machine probably would not run regular Ubuntu - you might want to try Xubuntu or Lubuntu
[10:57] <stueng> iceroot: thanks I got xbmc running nicely as normal user, installed lightdm
[10:58] <xeviox> I've installed ssmtp and be able to send messages through it, sadly it doesn't work without a valid sender address as parameter
[10:58] <xeviox> but I want to use the option to rewrite the sender to the defaults one to be able to also get system messages sent..
[10:58] <stueng> when linux starts up my system spends a long time at "waiting for network configuration" I have commented out everything in /etc/network/interfaces. I dont want the system to wait for the network on boot, what I can do ?
[11:01] <stueng> anyone know of something that will monitor my bandwidth use? in real time? nice GUI looking thing?
[11:01] <SolarisBoy> uhhh
[11:02] <SolarisBoy> waiting for network means you have or may have a slow network
[11:02] <iceroot> stueng: nice to hear that
[11:02] <SolarisBoy> rather than bandwidth consumption - maybe your getting slow dhcp assignment or something?
[11:02] <sirriffsalot> yeats: I tried the command with nouveau, no luck.. nothing pops up, just a new line of "xxxx@xxxx:-#"
[11:02] <stueng> SolarisBoy: I dont want network, I commented out everything in interfaces I want to contorl the network after I boot
[11:02] <sirriffsalot> yeats: any other ideas?:)
[11:02] <SolarisBoy> but - like you should let interfaces bring up lo and stuff
[11:02] <SolarisBoy> stueng: leave lo up dude..
[11:02] <dontknow> chromium still 18, great!!!!!
[11:03] <Calyp> yeats: thanks, on another p3 it says thatthe kernel requires a feature missing in the CPU ( pae cmov )
[11:03] <stueng> yeah ill uncomment lo
[11:03] <sirriffsalot> yeats:  I don't have the any headers for lowlatency according to synaptic, could that be the reason?
[11:03] <stueng> its sat there waiting for something though... but whatever it is is not in interfaces so where else would it be ?
[11:03] <SolarisBoy> stueng: then once you do that ok - sure disable the interfaces.. it really depends _where_ they are managed at
[11:03] <SolarisBoy> stueng: network manager maybe?
[11:04] <SolarisBoy> stueng: anyway once you get a clean boot - restart network manually and see if it spits a clue on console or logs
[11:04] <stueng> SolarisBoy: the box is portable, in different locations it will connect oto different networks.  I want to manage the networks from inside XBMC with the nm-manager plugin
[11:05] <SolarisBoy> hmm - does that negate anything i mentioned ?
[11:05] <stueng> SolarisBoy: network manager works independantly of interfaces? is there a file I can edit to look at what its trying to do?
[11:05] <SolarisBoy> SolarisBoy: you can have both running - if it's interfaces afaik networkmanager should ignore - but yes there are more than one place or way an interface can get up'd
[11:06] <SolarisBoy> generally if it's happening dynamically on boot on a ubuntu box - its interfaces or network manager for defaults
[11:06] <stueng> SolarisBoy: right, and how would I configure NM? from the terminal? which file(s)?
[11:06] <SolarisBoy> stueng: nothing says you don't have some other not so common network utility running - but technically its not that fuzzy check network manager - check interfaces
[11:06] <SolarisBoy> stueng: either or
[11:07] <stueng> I dont have a window manager so I need to do this from terminal
[11:07] <SolarisBoy> stueng: most users will default to the applet configuration - but i think you can use the command line the sme
[11:07] <SolarisBoy> stueng: ^^
[11:07] <SolarisBoy> stueng: nm-tool i think will atleast print the configs for you
[11:07] <OranGO> yeah!
[11:08] <SolarisBoy> stueng: rather the interfaces its managing - and their status
[11:08] <stueng> SolarisBoy: yeah it spits out a list of SSIDs in range and the status of  eth0
[11:08] <SolarisBoy> so there you go
[11:09] <SolarisBoy> disable them there - either by command line - which i dont use nm so can't help much more than telling you to man the command
[11:09] <SolarisBoy> but stueng: if you see wlan ssid's there and you see eth0 thats whats managing those and thats whats bringing them up
[11:09] <shawny78> hello all, probably a simple question, but could someone tell me how to find out who is logged into your system (I'm guessing 'who' command) but also, what IP they are loggedd in from?
[11:09] <stueng> SolarisBoy: for example, in the gui, you can tick a box tha t says  "connect automatically"
[11:10] <stueng> SolarisBoy: so what I am looking for is the text based equivilant to unticking that box I guess
[11:10] <SolarisBoy> stueng: you need to man the command
[11:10] <jrib> shawny78: you can use "who" or "w"
[11:10] <SolarisBoy> man was written to be understandable
[11:10] <stueng> SolarisBoy: its about 3 lines long, the man
[11:10] <SolarisBoy> get a tea and read
[11:10] <SolarisBoy> thre are more tools in the chain that that
[11:10] <SolarisBoy> i showed one
[11:10] <SolarisBoy> nmcli is another
[11:11] <shawny78> Thanks jrib!!
[11:11] <SolarisBoy> stueng: man/research - i just mentioned im not as fmailiar nm - not used to using it - i set up my interfaces manually - i hate managers
[11:11] <SolarisBoy> so if your looking for help on the commands to use - i'd refer you to man - or one of the folks in this room, they probably use nm more than me..
[11:12] <stueng> SolarisBoy: I am fine using nm to join/leave networks etc, to control the connections, what I cant find is where it stores its config .... but ill have a google around to see if I can find it
[11:13] <SolarisBoy> well its under /etc/NetworkManager - but its not as flat as interfaces - ill say that much
[11:13] <stueng> ah thats why I couldnt locate it, capital letters
[11:13] <stueng> who does that
[11:13] <SolarisBoy> the people who made network manager...
[11:14] <SolarisBoy> =)
[11:14] <stueng> thanks gtg
[11:14] <manish411> I want to make kdm as the login manager, how do i configure it to run genome-session after login
[11:14] <manish411> ?
[11:14] <Dr_Willis> at least they dident use _ and . in the name
[11:14] <SolarisBoy> and hes outta there
[11:14] <SolarisBoy> Dr_Willis: true indeed
[11:15] <mishn0ne> привет
[11:15] <mishn0ne> есть русские?
[11:15] <FloodBot1> mishn0ne: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:15] <MonkeyDust> !ru
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> manish411:  each user had a .dmrc file that defines their defaut window manager
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> what is genome-session anyway
[11:17] <17SAA7XDD> I haven't got any headers installed for my 0-23-lowlatency version, which headers should I install from terminal when I am running a 64-bit version?? Several to pick from...
[11:18] <dontknow> why does official repo still have chromium 18, not 19?
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> !headers
[11:18] <SolarisBoy> i had a client who couldn't find the 'pseudo' command - we kicked around the idea of making a global alias for pseudo='sudo' but it was to much
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> dontknow:  because its not ready yet..
[11:19] <dontknow> Dr_Willis, how? 19 is released days ago
[11:19] <SolarisBoy> doesn't mean it goes in the repo
[11:19] <manish411> in archlinux we start gnome-session through a script called xinitrc which is read by the login manager
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> dontknow:  so
[11:19] <SolarisBoy> gnome-session gets kicked off automatically on ubuntu they don't use that .Xinitrc file that for those not using a display manager
[11:19] <dontknow> Dr_Willis, even second update came for 19 yesterday
[11:19] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: I didn't get that second bit about "install headers for libraries"...
[11:19] <WhereIsMySpoon> Er, i just cd'd to my /mnt folder and did an ls, and my shell locked up for a while, then said i cannot access the folders in /mnt, permission denied. I retried as root (sudo -i) and it still is giving me this error :S :S
[11:20] <WhereIsMySpoon> wtf is going on
[11:20] <SolarisBoy> like on arch - the default install no dm - so you can either start from Xinitrc or do a DM - if you do DM - it will likely start your sessions and such
[11:20] <SolarisBoy> its an "authenticated" session much like how you start ssh-agent etc - in fact i think closely related
[11:20] <|DM|> awutnow?
[11:20] <Dr_Willis> manish411:  you can create custome x sessions by either making a .desktop file for the session or using the .xsession file and select custom/user in kdm
[11:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> am using 11.10
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> WhereIsMySpoon:  whatsa mounted to /mnt?
[11:22] <manish411> Dr_Willis  : what I want at present is to start gnome desktop after i login using kdm
[11:22] <SolarisBoy> WhereIsMySpoon: had you recently changed/mounted/unmounted anything?
[11:22] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, no
[11:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> Dr_Willis, should be a couple of samba servers
[11:23] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: how do I get the accompanying dev packages?
[11:23] <Dr_Willis> manish411:  kdm should remember the last selected desktop session. which gets saved to the users .dmrc file
[11:23] <SolarisBoy> WhereIsMySpoon: can you post your /etc/fstab || and the output of 'mount' ?
[11:23] <manish411> ok , so where is this .dmrc file?
[11:23] <SolarisBoy> so - wait
[11:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, sure, min
[11:23] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: and how do I know if I need the accompanying libraries?:P
[11:23] <Dr_Willis> manish411:  in the users home. and kdm should have a menu to select gnome or unity or whatever
[11:24] <etfb> OK. So, Unity. I love it, honest I do.  Better than Gnome, KDE, etc.  But my wife is about to get her laptop upgraded to it, and there's one feature she's going to miss: a temperature indicator in the top menu bar.  Is there any provision at all for that sort of thing in Unity?
[11:24] <manish411> [Desktop]
[11:24] <manish411> Language=en_US.utf8
[11:24] <manish411> Layout=us
[11:24] <manish411>  this is my .dmrc file
[11:24] <FloodBot1> manish411: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:24] <SolarisBoy> wompwomp
[11:25] <manish411> ok got it
[11:25] <Dr_Willis> etfb:  there are cpu indicator applets in the repos, ppas and a list at askubuntu.com for most you would want
[11:25] <fidel_> etfb: you could solve that via conky - but thats a cli-based way of displaying text-informations somewhere on your desktop (in case you cant find a real solution)
[11:26] <SolarisBoy> i just installed one from ppa - works fine unity and all (i love my temp/weather indicator too)
[11:26] <etfb> Dr_Willis, fidel_: Thanks.  Good leads. I'll follow them up.
[11:26] <Dr_Willis> askubuntu.com has a nice list of quicklists, indicator-applets and other nice things
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> many are not in the repos yet. but in ppa's
[11:27] <MonkeyDust> hot-babe cpu indicator has been removed from the repos
[11:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, Dr_Willis: http://pastie.org/3960548
[11:27] <jasox> Did anyone successfully run unity 3d engine in virtual machine on linux ?
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> it was at mediabuntu MonkeyDust  last week.. been there for years
[11:28] <manish411> what is a 3d engine?
[11:28] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: Error! Problems with depmod detected.  Automatically uninstalling this module.
[11:28] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: could you please help out..?:)
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> 17SAA7XDD:  means nothing to me
[11:28] <d-tech> make: permission denied ... running as root ... any ideas?
[11:28] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: DKMS: Install Failed (depmod problems).  Module rolled back to built state.
[11:28] <SolarisBoy> WhereIsMySpoon: so how did thoe mounts get there?
[11:28] <SolarisBoy> being they aren't in fstab and all..
[11:29] <jasox> manigma77__:  unity3d.com
[11:29] <SolarisBoy> WhereIsMySpoon: if possible try to unmount those samba shares and do ls in that /mnt/ directory again? also check your message logs
[11:30] <SolarisBoy> samba can be funky sometimes
[11:30] <abhijitrucks> can i get ubuntu 11.10 unity in 12.04?
[11:31] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: that was some of the output of that headers command you gaveme...
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> abhijitrucks:  id guess no
[11:31] <MonkeyDust> abhijitrucks  what do you mean? a unity downgrade?
[11:31] <abhijitrucks> ya
[11:31] <abhijitrucks> i hate this new unity
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> 17SAA7XDD:  i gave you a bot factoid.
[11:32] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: riight?
[11:32] <MonkeyDust> abhijitrucks  use ccsm and myunity to configure unity, both tools are in the repos
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> i love the new unity. ;)  hud rocks.
[11:33] <strk> what's that application that pops up when you end out of space ?
[11:33] <strk> from GNOME, that is
[11:33] <strk> and, hard disk space (ignore/explore)
[11:33] <SolarisBoy> disk usage analyzer?
[11:33] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, things have changed! :)  I now do not get an error about the group not being a domain group.. in fact, there's no errors about the group at all... but it does still resolve to an incorrect group SID.
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> out of disk space?
[11:33] <strk> SolarisBoy: yep, what's the application name to start form console ?
[11:33] <SolarisBoy> du?
[11:34] <SolarisBoy> =)
[11:34] <strk> eh
[11:34] <SolarisBoy> i dont know the name of that horrible gui thing
[11:34] <SolarisBoy> i use du/df and find..
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[11:34] <SolarisBoy> but if you type the WINDOW key and open the search widget then type disk im sure its indexed properly
[11:34] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, message logs?
[11:35] <strk> found: baobab
[11:35] <SolarisBoy> yes
[11:35] <strk> thanks :)
[11:35] <SolarisBoy> baobab?
[11:35] <SolarisBoy> what in the world...
[11:35] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, unmounting the samba shares using umount, it says the share is not mounted according to mtab
[11:35] <SolarisBoy> WhereIsMySpoon: /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog and others - mainly those
[11:35] <SolarisBoy> right on
[11:35] <SolarisBoy> use -l
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> a kind of tree
[11:35] <SolarisBoy> seems like you may have a samba _server_ issue
[11:35] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, -l did nothing
[11:36] <SolarisBoy> being where we are i have to ask
[11:36] <SolarisBoy> what did you expect it to do?
[11:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> i dont know, i dont know the doc for umount by heart
[11:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> you told me to use -l
[11:36] <SolarisBoy> umount -l /mount/pint
[11:36] <SolarisBoy> then type mount and tell me its there or no?
[11:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, you mean //mount/folder  right?
[11:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> or you mean /mnt/folder
[11:37] <SolarisBoy> ...
[11:37] <SolarisBoy> yes.
[11:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> umount -l /mnt/folder gives: umount: it seems /mnt/folder is mounted multiple times
[11:37] <SolarisBoy> exactly
[11:38] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, "exactly"?
[11:38] <SolarisBoy> so - again - what did you do to mount those sambas?
[11:38] <SolarisBoy> i see they aren't in fstab
[11:38] <SolarisBoy> but they were mounted - and now they seem to be stale
[11:38] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, sudo smbmount
[11:39] <pete_> peterlin
[11:39] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy,  sudo smbmount //server/folder /mnt/folderlocation -o user=servergroup\\username,noperm
[11:39] <SolarisBoy> yea actually i see it now - if you look at your mount
[11:39] <SolarisBoy> its clearly wrong
[11:39] <SolarisBoy> your mounting the same things over and over
[11:40] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, hm, true
[11:40] <dr_willis> thats messy.  ;)
[11:40] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, if they're just mounted via smbmount, i should just restart right?
[11:40] <SolarisBoy> you can try to umount the //server/device
[11:40] <WhereIsMySpoon> then they'll go away
[11:40] <SolarisBoy> well yea that would fix it
[11:40] <SolarisBoy> but its linux
[11:40] <SolarisBoy> we dont do that...
[11:40] <SolarisBoy> but feel free to do M$ moves
[11:40] <SolarisBoy> brb
[11:40] <FloodBot1> SolarisBoy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:41] <SolarisBoy> oops sorry forgot about your ratelimiting
[11:41] <dr_willis> samba mounts can get real confused.
[11:41] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, "umount: //server/folder is not mounted (according to mtab)"
[11:41] <WaqarAzeem> hello! firewall is disable, ssh is installed but still unbale to access the machine using Putty ... Network error: software caused network abort ... from where should i start to investigate
[11:41] <SolarisBoy> WhereIsMySpoon: you should use the real name
[11:41] <SolarisBoy> brb
[11:41] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, i am using the real name when i actually do the command
[11:42] <ramkamx> i'm trying to use airodump-ng for wifi coverage testing. it works for a minute or two, then, all connexions drop. could it be a service that interferes with the process ? any1 has experience on that ?
[11:42] <dr_willis> WaqarAzeem:  on server try ssh localhost,  to see  ssh is working.
[11:43] <debanjan> #RFID
[11:43] <jstoone> I am using the Xmonad window-manager and I need to run a cmd to adjust my screens on every login, is there any way to automate this, so that this cmd runs at each startup?
[11:43] <SolarisBoy> weird then
[11:43] <jrib> jstoone: how do you start xmonad?
[11:43] <WaqarAzeem> dr_willis: read from socket fail. connection reset by peer
[11:43] <dr_willis> jstoone:  checked the xmonad docs and homepage/faq?
[11:44] <jstoone> it's set at the default and lanuches after I type my password.
[11:44] <SolarisBoy> WhereIsMySpoon: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/umount.cifs.8.html
[11:44] <dr_willis> WaqarAzeem:  sounds like ssh server is not running or mssconfigured
[11:44] <jstoone> jrib: that was for you sorry.
[11:44] <SolarisBoy> --no-mtab
[11:44] <SolarisBoy> seems like a relevant option huh?
[11:44] <jstoone> dr_willis: I will do now, thanks
[11:44] <DeltaHeavy> Hey, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 using GNOME "Classic" or whatever it is. Every time I open a directory with Nautalis, even after the folder is open the "Opening <directory name>" hangs for a while. On top of that it's taking unusually long to open a directory (5-10 seconds). Anybody know what might be causing this?
[11:45] <jrib> jstoone: so you just use the session file provided by the xmonad package?  What command are you wanting to run? Do you really want it to run every time you log in or just once after boot?
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> DeltaHeavy  same here, same in 12.04, too
[11:46] <peacedefender__> I am not sure if my model associations are correct because when I try to include two tables, I get "Association named 'team' was not found; perhaps you misspelled it?"
[11:46] <WhereIsMySpoon> DeltaHeavy, gnome3 is awfully slow
[11:46] <WhereIsMySpoon> DeltaHeavy, its the same fo rme
[11:46] <peacedefender__> https://gist.github.com/2780836 << my model
[11:46] <DeltaHeavy> MonkeyDust: Is Ubuntu just going to crap? Not trying to start something up in here but I've been using Ubuntu since 8.04, and I switched over to CentOS/Arch around 10.10, now I'm using it again at my workplace and I hate it. Been using it for months and I still think it's garbage.
[11:47] <fidel_> WhereIsMySpoon: DeltaHeavy MonkeyDust - are you guys using plain gnome3 or loaded with tons of extensions? just wondering as i am realizing some slowness here too
[11:47] <DeltaHeavy> Unity is also fairly unusable at least in 11.04 for the amount of applications I'm using at one time.
[11:47] <jstoone> jrib: it's  Xrandr for my dual-screens and it get's reset at every logout.
[11:47] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, eh, the servers are actually down
[11:47] <DeltaHeavy> fidel_: Plain GNOME "Classic". No addons or anything.
[11:47] <WhereIsMySpoon> fidel_, i havent customised gnome3 manually
[11:47] <peacedefender__> erm, wrong channel sorry
[11:47] <Progster> LOL, compared to CentOS? Wow you got a real uphill battle there bro
[11:47] <WhereIsMySpoon> if it did stuff itself then...*shrug*
[11:47] <jrib> jstoone: I start xmonad using a ~/.xsession file.  If you did that, you could just put your command before xmonad in that file
[11:48] <jstoone> jrib: the exact cmd is `xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1366x768 --left-of HDMI1 && xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080`
[11:48] <Progster> CentOS gave me more grief than any other distro (including ubuntu) when it came to sys admin/setup
[11:48] <dr_willis> uity and gnome-shell both work well on my netbook.  perhaps its a video bottleneck
[11:48] <OerHeks> Unity is awesome, gnome2 is so retarded
[11:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> er
[11:48] <DeltaHeavy> Progster: I use CentOS for server purposes on my headless box and it's never given me a single problem.
[11:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> what
[11:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> gnome2 >>> gnome3 >>> unity
[11:48] <jstoone> jrib: Cool, I'll look into that file right now.
[11:49] <dr_willis> gnome 2 is dead..  time to move on.
[11:49] <WhereIsMySpoon> not when gnome3 is a pile of awful :P
[11:49] <DeltaHeavy> Progster: Any issues you may have run into is probably just the difference between a Debian based system and a RHEL-like system.
[11:49] <morsnowski> gnome classic is doing it just fine for me
[11:49] <DeltaHeavy> Cause CentOS is godly lol
[11:49] <jstoone> jrib: That file does not exist in my home dir. i only got ~/.xsession-errors
[11:49] <dr_willis> gnome classic may be removed in the next few releases also
[11:49] <DeltaHeavy> morsnowski: How long does it take you to open a directory and does the "Opening <dir name>" hang for a while after it's open?
[11:49] <jrib> jstoone: you'd have to create it
[11:50] <sirriffsalot> I fixed my resolution problem by removing the monitors.xml file in ~./config... but why did that solve it?:P
[11:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, when i try to umount one of the shares, it says it isnt mounted (not with mtab error this time) but when i execute mount command i still see it :S
[11:50] <jstoone> jrib: right.
[11:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> is this just cause the servers are down
[11:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> so i cant umount them?
[11:50] <jrib> jstoone: and then you would choose that as your session instead of "xmonad"
[11:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> or what
[11:50] <morsnowski> DeltaHeavy, almsot instantly and no hanging
[11:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> DeltaHeavy, id advise to switch to xfce
[11:50] <DeltaHeavy> morsnowski: What CPU is using that?
[11:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> its pretty fast
[11:51] <morsnowski> some older intel dual core
[11:51] <DeltaHeavy> WhereIsMySpoon: Yeah, GNOME3's back end is sexy as hell but I find it nearly unusable and I think I gave it a good chance. Used it for 4 months.
[11:51] <DeltaHeavy> morsnowski: Do you know the clock rate on it? The type of Duel Core? Celeron, Pentium D?
[11:51] <MonkeyDust> DeltaHeavy  this is the support channel, opinions in #ubuntu-offtopic, please
[11:52] <jrib> jstoone: it's just a shell script with the last line as "xmonad"
[11:52] <DeltaHeavy> MonkeyDust: This is support. I have a problem and I want to know if it's hardware related because he's not experiancing the same issue.
[11:52] <jstoone> jrib: cool. How do i specify that as my session?
[11:52] <morsnowski> DeltaHeavy, 2x intel pentium 2.8ghz
[11:52] <jstoone> jrib: aka, make it choosable at the login-screen
[11:52] <jrib> jstoone: should show up in the dropdown menu at the login prompt. Might need a lightdm restart? (idk)
[11:53] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, all is fixed!
[11:53] <jstoone> jrib: cool, see you in a sec with updates on how it worked (:
[11:53] <carpi> I have a dual monitor setup. Is there a way to save the configuration? Because every time I restart my machine I have to reconfigure the dual monitor setup.. :(
[11:53] <DeltaHeavy> morsnowski: I'm using a Celeron 1 core @ 3.?GHz. I wonder if that's my problem.
[11:53] <Hyperbyte> The idmap lines did the trick, but -still- Samba was assigning the group a SID of the local server, rather than the domain.  I couldn't explain it.  When I gave the local server the same name as the domain (so the SIDs were identical to start with), things started working.
[11:54] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, so it isn't super-pretty, and I still don't know exactly -why- Samba was futzing with the domain group SID's... but at this point I'm so happy it works, I cannot stand still to care about the why. :)
[11:54] <morsnowski> DeltaHeavy,  i have no idea. i'm just happy it does bog me down but i will admit that i have the feeling that 10.04 was quicker. that is just subjective though
[11:54] <morsnowski> doesn't actually
[11:55] <DeltaHeavy> morsnowski: I'm really hating the direction Ubuntu is going in. Getting bulkier and bulkier. Whole reason I put a distro on this thing was because this computer isn't very powerful.
[11:55] <carpi> can anyone help?
[11:55] <DeltaHeavy> Guess I should just use a different distro or Xubuntu
[11:56] <dr_willis> lubuntu targets the low end market
[11:56] <morsnowski> DeltaHeavy, i'm the wrong address i don't work here
[11:56] <ramkamx> anybody had issues with airodump-ng dropping after a few minutes ?
[11:56] <gentoo_user> hi.did someone have script for gmail which working with karamba and would like share?
[11:56] <DeltaHeavy> morsnowski: I know, sorry I guess I'm just venting a bit. It's pretty rediclous that Ubuntu won't run properly on a 3GHz single core anymore.
[11:57] <DeltaHeavy> I don't know HOW you can even make a Linux distro that bulkyy
[11:57] <sipior> DeltaHeavy: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, sunshine.
[11:57] <morsnowski> DeltaHeavy, i could bet you that is a configuration issue
[11:57] <Moscherkobold> Hello everyone, is this the right place to ask something about ubuntu one?
[11:57] <bazhang> Moscherkobold, #ubuntuone
[11:57] <DeltaHeavy> morsnowski: Any ideas on what?
[11:57] <morsnowski> nope not from afar
[11:58] <Moscherkobold> bazhang: thx
[11:58] <DeltaHeavy> Anybody know how to fix long Nautalis launches and a hanging "Opening <dir name>"?
[11:58] <jrib> http://s12a.vidhogservers.com:182/d/esd63vrmnjhr3p57s6qngpbf2j7vt6gqudlddpii74oafjauvsjdjh5y/Get.The.Gringo.2012.HDRip.XviD.AC3-BHRG.avi
[11:58] <jrib> agh
[11:58] <jrib> sorry.
[11:58] <WhereIsMySpoon> lol
[11:58] <dr_willis> ;)
[11:58] <sipior> DeltaHeavy: try running it under strace/ltrace, see where it sticks.
[11:59] <sipior> jrib: naughty boy.
[11:59] <WhereIsMySpoon> this is interesting
[12:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> when i launch nautilus from Places -> home folder, it takes a few seconds
[12:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> when i launch from cmd line, its instant
[12:00] <dr_willis> WhereIsMySpoon:  try it from a newly made user
[12:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> dr_willis, meh, i dont have the time to mess around with that :p
[12:00] <jstoone> jrib:I even tried to reboot (didn't seem right), and still it didn't popup. Although I just made an alias in my ~/.zshrc which runs the cmd.
[12:01] <DeltaHeavy> sipior: When using those tools it doesn't hang at all for some reason. Still takes ~7 seconds to open up but it doesn't hang.
[12:01] <MonkeyDust> WhereIsMySpoon  idd, same here, so it's a gui issue
[12:01] <jrib> jstoone: what options do you have in the session dropdown menu at login screen?
[12:02] <sipior> DeltaHeavy: does it hang when opening every directory?
[12:02] <jstoone> Xmonad+Gnome, Ubuntu, Ubuntu2D, Xmonad - And they all were there before.
[12:02] <DeltaHeavy> sipior: Yes, also sometimes Nautilis opens up instancly, still with that hanging "Opening" though.
[12:02] <DeltaHeavy> instantly*
[12:03] <jstoone> jrib: Jesus, forgot to tag you again..
[12:03] <jstoone> jrib: Xmonad+Gnome, Ubuntu, Ubuntu2D, Xmonad - And they all were there before.
[12:03] <MonkeyDust> DeltaHeavy  not if you open nautilus from the terminal, so it's gui or menu issue
[12:03] <jrib> jstoone: hmm.  I have /usr/share/xsessions/user-xsession.desktop, do you have that?
[12:03] <sipior> DeltaHeavy: this is a new install, no scripts running?
[12:04] <jrib> jstoone: I also have /usr/share/xsessions/xsession.desktop, do you have that?
[12:04] <sipior> DeltaHeavy: unmodified install, i should say. does it hang before the window itself is drawn?
[12:04] <jstoone> jrib: Nope
[12:04] <jrib> jstoone: neither?
[12:04] <DeltaHeavy> sipior: Few months old. Been doing this from the start though while it was unmodified. Tried fixing it first thing when it installed to no avail but I figured I'd try again today.
[12:05] <saul> Could someone give me a hand for a moment? My external drives stopped automounting.
[12:05] <jstoone> jrib: I made ~/.xsessions (since it didn't exist), but i have no /usr/share/xsessions/xsession.desktio
[12:05] <jrib> jstoone: well you can make /usr/share/xsessions/user-xsession.desktop with the contents http://paste.ubuntu.com/1004596/ .  The other file (/usr/share/xsessions/xsession.desktop) that I have is provided by gdm
[12:05] <jstoone> jrib: s/desktio/desktop
[12:07] <DeltaHeavy> sipior: Also I have no cron jobs, nothing special going on.
[12:07] <sipior> DeltaHeavy: and it never hangs when running under strace? might be interesting to use strace's -f switch and see what the children are up to.
[12:07] <jstoone> jrib: Actually. I think I'll go with the alias solution, since It's a laptop and it's only at home I use dual-monitors
[12:08] <teknoprep> whoever came up with the install while configuring your options... genius
[12:08] <teknoprep> ty
[12:08] <jstoone> jrib: But thank you verry much! Saved the paste just for good meshurements
[12:10] <CaptainSifff> Hi there, I'd like to have the droid sans font for latex in Maverick. It does not seem to be contained in texlive-fontsextra. What is the preferred way to get this font for my computer?
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> CaptainSifff  maverick is no longer valid or supported
[12:12] <sipior> CaptainSifff: you can just install ttf-droid, i believe. modern tex installs can use truetype fonts out of the box.
[12:13] <CaptainSifff> I'm using pdflatex not xelatex...
[12:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> DeltaHeavy, does gnome-panel also use a lot of mem?
[12:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> For me, it uses over 50%
[12:13] <sipior> CaptainSifff: move to xelatex. seriously.
[12:13] <|DM|> what is that in non-relative terms
[12:14] <DeltaHeavy> WhereIsMySpoon: 2.1MB

[12:22] <Xano> I need to delete all files and folders of which the names start with a period that are located (anywhere in the tree) in a given folder. rm -R is only recursive in that it deletes all contents if the match is a folder, but it does not search the hierarchy itself. How do I do this?
[12:22] <morsnowski> Xano, you can use find
[12:22] <DeltaHeavy> Xano: Wouldn't 'rm -rf \.*" work?
[12:23] <jstoone> Hi, I've mounted my ntfs partition with a mountpoint at /jstoone. Why does some of the foldernames have neon-green markings?
[12:23] <jrib> DeltaHeavy: wouldn't delete a/.b for example
[12:23] <NoVoteLoss> what handles my login screen? if i have other desktops(KDE, GNOME shell, Ubuntu, and more) how do i get rid of the ones i dont want?
[12:23] <Xano> DeltaHeavy: Nope. It appears it only matches files and folders found in the current directory, while I need it to match nested files too
[12:23] <jrib> NoVoteLoss: uninstall the corresponding packages?
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> DeltaHeavy: why use force-
[12:24] <Xano> morsnowski: How exactly? This needs to be automated, because we're talking about hundreds of matches
[12:24] <DeltaHeavy> ActionParsnip: I'm used to RHEL like systems which ask you "Do you want to delete this file"
[12:24] <morsnowski> xano you could try "find . -name "FILE-TO-FIND"-exec rm -rf {} \;"
[12:24] <DeltaHeavy> I guess you don't need it but it doesn't hurt
[12:24] <morsnowski> Xano, but try it first
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> DeltaHeavy: thats not what force is for
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> Xano: find . | egrep '\
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> Oop
[12:26] <DeltaHeavy> Actionparsnip: It's not for removing that prompt? What's it for then? I know it also removes verbose for files that aren't there.
[12:26] <judgen> howdy.. if xinerama appears very laggy, what would be the next step to proceede? (i am using fglrx and set up the settings using amdcccle)
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> Xano: find . -type f| egrep '\.*' -exec rm {} \:
[12:27] <jrib> Xano: don't do that
[12:27] <jrib> ActionParsnip: that will delete way too much stuff
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> Xano: might wanna make some dummy data to test
[12:28] <judgen> i guess i could just go for separate xservers instead.
[12:28] <sipior> Xano: or just replace "rm" with "ls".
[12:28] <judgen> as the lag is not there then
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> Jrib: all files from pwd down starting with period, wassup with it?
[12:29] <jrib> ActionParsnip: try: echo a.b | egrep '\.*'
[12:29] <jrib> ActionParsnip: actually, it will delete everything since the output from find will begin with "./"
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> Oops forgot ^
[12:30] <bolmna> irc.kametsu.com
[12:30] <jrib> ActionParsnip: also, your syntax looks wrong so maybe it delete anything :P
[12:31] <Oficla> lol@ActionParsnip
[12:31] <jrib> won't*
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> Gotta jet. #bash may be useful
[12:33] <Xano> find . -name ".*" -exec echo "{}" \; gives me a nice list of all matching files
[12:33] <Xano> THanks!

[13:30] <chu> It's *incredibly* midi based though, so you're gonna cop it.

[13:31] <Harris> how do i install the tomboy lens for 12.04 i only find it for 11.0 OerHeks
[13:32] <OerHeks> Harris, google gives me the answer. did it not for you ? >> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/search-through-your-tomboy-notes-with-unity-tomboy-lens/
[13:32] <sirriffsalot> So, where is the right place in IRC to discuss pirate copies?:D
[13:32] <LucidGuy> I seem to have installed an Ubuntu server using only lvms?  No partitions or partition table for that matter..  didnt think that was possible.
[13:33] <L3tops> Not here
[13:33] <OerHeks> sirriffsalot, we don't care to help you with that. so stop it please
[13:33] <Harris> OerHeks,  no it did not but i will read this

[13:34] <prateekp> L3tops: i have got scilab working but what i need is to build an external module ... for this i ran the make command and got the error
[13:35] <L3tops> I understand prateekp. Either you do not have all of the source, or some prerequisite installed.
[13:36] <prateekp> L3tops : where can i find this machine.h
[13:36] <prateekp> L3tops : is machine.h part of OS or that of scilab
[13:36] <L3tops> You should talk to whoever maintains the source code prateekp.

[13:41] <SolarisBoy> possibly do you have something installed that depends on it but not in your repo?
[13:41] <ikonia> alarmschaben: the x86_64 repo will also have some 32bit dependencies in it
[13:41] <SolarisBoy> its absolutely legit to run 32 bit libs on a 64 bit

[13:50] <jongleur> Hi. Is the terminal application of ubuntu 12.04 known as buggy in terms of foreground/background on the desktop? Is there anything how to solve it? Terminal windows in my ubuntu 12.04 installation have several issues: the menu opens behind the window, klicks sometimes "go through" and are applied to the window behind it, and I'm not sure, if there's more - sometimes that's ugly to distinguish. Any ideas?

[13:53] <Harris> yes
[13:54] <OerHeks> L3tops, that ppa gives the Oneiric lens only
[13:55] <L3tops> I see that... but the youtube lens is there...
[13:57] <L3tops> Harris: btw if you added the oneiric sources listed there, and failed to install the lens properly, you need to remove the oneiric sources and update again... having the old repo in there will cause problems
[13:58] <compdoc> they sure are updating the kernel a lot lately

[14:06] <freakolowsky> np
[14:06] <L3tops> Fat-Thing: think it might be multiload applet? and it was beyond your ability to view the t?
[14:06] <digitalknight> when during the installattion
[14:06] <MonkeyDust> !enter| digitalknight
[14:06] <digitalknight> my laptop overheated and crashed
[14:07] <Fat-Thing> L3tops, i think so what does it mean then?
[14:07] <digitalknight> Oh,sorry..
[14:08] <L3tops> are you running gnome3 Fat-Thing?
[14:08] <digitalknight> My laptop crashed while I wasupgrading my Ubuntu from 11.4 to 11.10.When I am booting now,I can see 11.10 but many packages are missing(for instance I am not able to connect to my wireless network.)Please help
[14:08] <Fat-Thing> no sir i'm still on gnome2
[14:08] <freakolowsky> PS: anyone had any idea on my issue yet? anything? ... i have 8GB of RAM (40% free), ihave i7 quadcore proc (top shows nothing above 5%), i have a Radeon with 1GB RAM ... yet unity i still glitchy i.e. when switching workspaces

[14:10] <digitalknight> @Monkeydust @ubottu Thanks,but as my laptop crashed while installation,wont many packages be missing?
[14:10] <martman> is there a guide/wiki somewhere on getting xen running on 12.04? i cant seem to find anything
[14:10] <L3tops> I don't know specifically what it is, there are a lot of references to it... it is some sort of Gnomish thing it appears Fat-Thing.
[14:11] <OerHeks> ptrkmj, split lossless > http://code.google.com/p/split-lossless/
[14:11] <Fat-Thing> i see thank you sir
[14:12] <OerHeks> ptrkmj, or on the CLI : cuetools & shntool >> http://danilodellaquila.com/blog/how-to-split-an-audio-.flac-file-using-ubuntu-linux
[14:12] <L3tops> Fat-Thing: is it eating a lot of process?  also try ps aux | grep multiload            to see if it is indeed applet
[14:13] <naxil> hello
[14:13] <naxil> i have install ushare (now i have uninstall ushare) but now my shared connection is disable..
[14:14] <naxil> what i can do?
[14:14] <Fat-Thing> it is sir not really but i slows down my desktop tho.....i mean my desktop sucks now i just adjusted it to lower resolution but still :(
[14:16] <digitalknight> Please help....I am in urgent need.....Is there any way I can recover or...If I download 12.04 and try to install it,will it retain my current files and softwares?
[14:16] <L3tops> Fat-Thing: Well... do that grep, see what it is... locate it... then kill the process, see if you run better... if you do dpkg -S it, see if you can remove the package or at least suppress its startup and keep a stable desktop.
[14:17] <ptrkmj> OerHeks: split-lossless is GUI app? i think i prefer CLI
[14:17] <Fat-Thing> ok sir thank you :)
[14:17] <OerHeks> ptrkmj, have fun
[14:18] <marco> digitalknight: you better boot with live-cd and backup your important data
[14:19] <JasonGriffee> Installing Ubuntu 12.04 via usb stick gives error "Stopping CPU interrupts balacing daemon". This ocurrs right when the graphic info panels that welcome you to ubuntu and talk about software begin.
[14:19] <ThePendulum> How do I boot Ubuntu when it´s installed, yet Windows boots no matter what I do?
[14:19] <elspuddy> hi, iv just made an image of a hard drive useing the command dd, how do i mount this drive ?
[14:19] <MonkeyDust> ThePendulum  repair the grub
[14:20] <ThePendulum> MonkeyDust: How? And why should it be repaired at all?
[14:20] <MonkeyDust> !grub| ThePendulum
[14:20] <ThePendulum> I know what Grub is...
[14:21] <MonkeyDust> ThePendulum  why? because it is broken
[14:21] <ThePendulum> MonkeyDust: I installed Ubuntu as the latter
[14:21] <kurtwp_> I noticed when a download a PDF using filezilla that it uses GIMP to read the PDF.  Is there is settign in unity to change this habit or would it be filezilla
[14:21] <MonkeyDust> ThePendulum  still, the link(s) may be useful
[14:21] <ThePendulum> How am I supposed to use the terminal or any GUI if I can´t boot into Ubuntu?
[14:22] <MonkeyDust> ThePendulum  it's explained in that link
[14:22] <L3tops> JasonGriffee: what is the gpu?
[14:22] <JasonGriffee> Radeon 9550 (Deadicated)
[14:22] <helo> every time there's a new kernel, installing the new package fails with this: "Failed to symbolic-link /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-24-generic to initrd.img: File exists"
[14:22] <helo> if i remove /initrd.img and run it again, it appears to succeed
[14:23] <L3tops> JasonGriffee: can you get to a terminal on this machine?
[14:23] <ThePendulum> MonkeyDust: I´m afraid I don´t see an explaination for it, it´s all using Ubuntu which is not accessible
[14:23] <digitalknight> \marko I did that
[14:23] <MonkeyDust> ThePendulum  boot from a live cd or thumbdrive, work from there
[14:24] <thomad16> Hello ^_^
[14:24] <helo> oh here it is... no resolution though https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1002388
[14:24] <digitalknight> I am able to login to my ubuntu 11.10,but some packages must be missing
[14:24] <digitalknight> How do I recover?
[14:24] <ThePendulum> MonkeyDust: Again, Windows won´t let me for whatever reason
[14:24] <helo> i suspect leaving a bad /initrd.img should be "High" severity...
[14:25] <JasonGriffee> L3tops, I guess I could via a live session, but I installed ubuntu before without issue. Could there have been a mishap in the creation of the startup cd creation?
[14:25] <thomad16> I'm just curious if it's possable to create a 3rd output other than stdout and stdin that other applications can read from?
[14:25] <L3tops> I would lean more towards gpu/driver issue... did you install proprietary drivers by chance?
[14:25] <L3tops> JasonGriffee:  T^
[14:25] <JasonGriffee> L3tops, also there is no viable OS on the system now
[14:25] <MonkeyDust> thomad16  you can use tee to redirect to a file, if that's what you mean
[14:26] <digitalknight> MonkeyDust Please help
[14:26] <JasonGriffee> L3tops, what is T^
[14:26] <thomad16> no i mean like mkfifo /dev/fd/4
[14:26] <thomad16> or something like that
[14:26] <Aethrs> Shouldn't boot repair disk display a menu or something?
[14:26] <L3tops> JasonGriffee: a typo... I was trying to get you to look above with ^ because I had forgotten to address you, and I am flipping back and forth between several chats
[14:26] <jongleur> thomad16: you can create the fifo and pipe to that
[14:27] <Heartbeats> Ok i'm trying to edit the repositories list and in terminal it says bash:.. permission denied
[14:27] <jrib> Heartbeats: what did you type?
[14:28] <Heartbeats> etc/apt/sources.list
[14:28] <JasonGriffee> L3tops, there is no OS on the computer now so drivers are non-issue
[14:28] <jrib> Heartbeats: you want to open /etc/apt/sources.list in an *editor*
[14:28] <Heartbeats> /etc/apt/sources.list
[14:28] <Heartbeats> actually
[14:29] <Heartbeats> ooh k
[14:29] <ninux> exit
[14:29] <jrib> Heartbeats: is there a reason you aren't using Software Properties for managing repositories?
[14:29] <xangua> Heartbeats: or just go to Software Center - Edit - Sources and add deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free
[14:30] <Heartbeats> no
[14:30] <Heartbeats> no reason*
[14:30] <Heartbeats> and ok
[14:30] <iceroot> is there a way to make the top-panel in unity transparent? at the moment it is grey/black cant find a setting for that
[14:30] <L3tops> JasonGriffee: I misunderstood your original post... I thought this was with ubu installed. Can you boot with the nomodeset option?
[14:31] <digitalknight> MonkeyDust marko Please advise
[14:31] <CannedCorn> hey guys when i installed openjdk-7 it still says JAVA_HOME is not set
[14:31] <JasonGriffee> L3tops, what is that?
[14:31] <jongleur> anybody an idea what's up with my terminal?
[14:31] <L3tops> digitalknight: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[14:32] <L3tops> !nomodeset | JasonGriffee
[14:32] <digitalknight> L3tops sudo apt-get update will work without internet?
[14:32] <iceroot> or do we have a unity config tool in 12.04?
[14:32] <iceroot> digitalknight: no
[14:32] <xangua> !info
[14:32] <xangua> myunityiceroot: there is a setting for that in myunity
[14:32] <xangua> !info myunity
[14:32] <L3tops> digitalknight: no... I did not see that you were without internet. Can you plug this thing in?
[14:33] <iceroot> xangua: thank you
[14:33] <digitalknight> L3Tops...sure let me try
[14:34] <JasonGriffee> L3tops, I don't boot into a black screen, it happens later. I have also done this install with previous versions of ubuntu on the exact same hardware.
[14:34] <CannedCorn> does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve that sort of thing?
[14:35] <digitalknight> How do I address a specific person in IRC chat?
[14:36] <xangua> !tab | digitalknight
[14:36] <MonkeyDust> digitalknight  type 2-3 characters of a name and then tab to complete
[14:37] <digitalknight> MonkeyDust: Thanks
[14:37] <digitalknight> MonkeyDust: Another thing,How can I check which packages were left outduring the installation?I am able to get internet access now...
[14:37] <carrera> Greetings! :)
[14:38] <iceroot> xangua: thank you very much, that fixed my issue and was showing me some other nice things too
[14:38] <MonkeyDust> digitalknight  no idea
[14:38] <china_guang> Are here chinese?
[14:38] <MonkeyDust> !cn
[14:39] <carrera> How can I gain window focus by just moving the mouse pointer over the window. I'm running Gnome on 12.04.
[14:39] <L3tops> JasonGriffee: try the text version of the installer... I don't know what versions you have installed in the past, but clearly you are having an issue, probably gpu related, to the unity desktop. You may have to use the text based installer until such time as you can use a driver more appropirate than the framebuffer development driver packed in the installer.
[14:39] <digitalknight> MonkeyDust: Ok,thanks.Another thing,I may sound stupid,but I really want to contribute to ubuntu.I am a C and C++ developer and I ama newbie PostgreSQL hacker.
[14:39] <ARTSIOM> how do I get the list of the packages I have explicitely installed with "apt-get install"?
[14:40] <JasonGriffee> L3tops, will i be able to use the unity gui later?
[14:40] <china_guang> how I close my gnome in my ubuntu 12.04?
[14:41] <L3tops> JasonGriffee: assuming this is not a hardware error, I would certainly think so... but I have not heard complants of this specific nature and it is not an unusual gpu... so it is hard to say definitely so.
[14:42] <chigybuntu> Which one is a better choice btn BT5 and Blackbuntu?
[14:42] <xangua> chigybuntu: just ubuntu support, thanks
[14:42] <haux> I installed xubuntu 12.04 on a system with this board: http://www.logicsupply.com/products/kino_690s1  It is hooked up a television as a "media" pc. I can't get fglrx to work, and otherwise am having serious resolution issues. None of the resolutions I select fit the screen very well. They are either oversized, or too small. Any ideas?
[14:43] <haux> *hooked up to a
[14:43] <xangua> china_guang: and by close your gnome you mean¿ log out¿
[14:43] <jongleur> anybody with the terminal issue?
[14:44] <chigybuntu> jongleur: Yeah, i have dig
[14:44] <gilesw> heya all
[14:44] <gilesw> i'm having some trouble running apt-file on precise
[14:45] <gilesw> Downloading Index http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Contents-amd64.diff/Index:
[14:45] <china_guang> xangua：yes
[14:45] <gilesw> No Index available.
[14:45] <jongleur> chigybuntu: I found at least one other person with the same issue who posted the same issue (but got no reply as far as I can see)
[14:45] <HorizonXP> I have this tool on Windows called WinSplit Revolution, that allows me to easily manage and resize windows on my screen. Very useful with my dual monitor setup.
[14:46] <HorizonXP> I simply hit Ctrl + Alt and a number pad key, and the window gets moved and resized appropriately
[14:46] <HorizonXP> is there an equivalent tool on Ubuntu?
[14:46] <morsnowski> ARTSIOM, how about 'aptitude search '~i''
[14:46] <jrib> HorizonXP: what does "appropriately" mean?
[14:46] <HorizonXP> jrib: if I hit 5 on the number pad, it makes it take up the whole screen
[14:46] <morsnowski> everything autimatically installed has an A as marker
[14:47] <digitalknight> thank you all
[14:47] <HorizonXP> jrib: hitting 6 once, makes it take up half of the right side of the screen
[14:47] <haux> jrib, I assume he means that certain numbers resize the window to a certain size...
[14:47] <HorizonXP> jrib: hit it again, and it goes to 33%
[14:47] <HorizonXP> jrib: once more takes it to 66%
[14:47] <HorizonXP> jrib: do that with 4, and it's the left side
[14:47] <chigybuntu> jongleur: Is there a way to update facebook status on terminal?, coz for tweeter there is a way to do that......can yo help me with that plz?
[14:48] <jrib> HorizonXP: you can /probably/ script something like that using wmctrl.  Have you considered using a tiling window manager?
[14:48] <L3tops> !enter | HorizonXP
[14:48] <HorizonXP> jrib: do taht with 8 or 2 and it does the top or bottom
[14:48] <ARTSIOM> morsnowski: that command gave me a huge list, I for sure was not installing all those packages mannualy
[14:48] <jongleur> chigybuntu: no idea, I don't use facebook more than absolutely necessary, sorry
[14:48] <HorizonXP> jrib: haven't thought about switching WMs, but scripting something using wmctrl would be fine
[14:49] <angel279> Hello, I've installed apache2 + php5 on my apache, but when I trying to access .php file on the browser I get the download popup window (it seems that apache2 not working with the php5) any idea?
[14:50] <chigybuntu> jongleur: Thanks anyway....
[14:51] <HorizonXP> jrib: turns out there's a compiz plugin
[14:51] <gilesw> hrm looks like a dh-make-perl bug
[14:51] <HorizonXP> but with Ubuntu's Unity, I'm guessing Compiz is no longer used?
[14:52] <jrib> HorizonXP: no idea
[14:52] <Guest31475> is there a way to keep menu options in panel always visible
[14:53] <xangua> HorizonXP: unity uses compiz, yes
[14:53] <L3tops> HorizonXP: Unity uses compiz
[14:53] <ARTSIOM> morsnowski: ok, but it also includes packages which were installed together with the system install. So is there any way to get packages which were installed by me?
[14:53] <HorizonXP> xangua, L3tops does that mean I could add a Compiz plugin?
[14:54] <xangua> HorizonXP: if it doesn't break unity, like the cube, yes
[14:54] <L3tops> depends on the plugin I would say... but yes... the compiz manager
[14:55] <HorizonXP> ok, looks like the Grid plugin does what I want
[14:55] <morsnowski> ARTSIOM, that's the only way i know to get the packages that were installed automatically I'm afraid
[14:55] <HorizonXP> and it's in the compiz-fusion-plugins-extra package...
[14:55] <Sidney__> are there any apps that will wipe free space
[14:56] <freakolowsky> is gnome-shell using dconf or gconf?
[14:56] <tahimik> Sidney: you can try bleachbit
[14:57] <Guest31475> is there a way to keep menu options in panel always visible
[14:58] <level15> hi, all: i have 3 LVM volumes on 3 different servers. I formatted them as ext 4. They all mount fine. However, when the system is booting, it complains it cannot check them because of too high revision of the FS or damaged superblock (see http://pastebin.com/RVgrFk5U). If I do file -sL /dev/vg00/bacula_backups, it says it is indeed an ext4 FS, mounted or unclean. ANy ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.
[14:58] <L3tops> What menu options are you talking about Guest31475?
[14:59] <Guest31475> tops - like when i hover to top panel menu-view-tools-help
[15:00] <Guest31475> these options only show when cursor goes there , i want them always visible
[15:00] <vimane> i have intall mate DE from minimal cd, but no shutdown option. how can i make shutdown option appear?
[15:00] <L3tops> level15: you are running an ext2 check on an ext4 filesystem... use fsck.ext4 instead (probably just fsck would work)
[15:00] <L3tops> level15: clearly we do not want these mounted when checking.
[15:01] <level15> L3tops: fsck.ext4 gives the same results
[15:01] <level15> L3tops: yes, they are unmounted
[15:02] <level15> L3tops: see http://pastebin.com/KQqeLi7Z  it still calls e2fsck
[15:02] <L3tops> Oh... I see...
[15:02] <L3tops> thats wacky.
[15:03] <Sidney__> I have a partition onced used for mp3's now I oinly have 90 GB on the drive but it shows 252 used
[15:04] <vimane> has 12.04 no shutdown option in x-server?
[15:05] <Guest31475> any clue tops
[15:05] <tahimik> vimane: in a terminal you can type   sudo shutdown -h now
[15:06] <Church> is there way to install packages from oneiric repository on 12.04?
[15:06] <ikonia> Church: no
[15:06] <Church> :(
[15:07] <tahimik> Sidney:  sudo apt-get install testdisk  then  testdisk /dev/xxx   where xxx is your drive
[15:09] <Guest31475> tahimik can u suggest i have a simple thing to ask
[15:09] <Guest31475> is there a way to keep menu options in panel always visible
[15:10] <L3tops> not to my knowledge Guest31475... it seems as though hiding would be the preferred behavior...
[15:12] <tahimik> Sidney: Guest31475: sorry, I usually work at command line. Don't know much about panel gui
[15:13] <lpapp> Hey! How can I disable the screen lock after not using the toughbook for a while ?
[15:13] <lpapp> It is a touch based device, and screen lock with entering the password just breaks the workflow.
[15:14] <jobinar> Does anyone know a single command to compile a source code to install all dependencies, without having to individually install each dependency?
[15:15] <lpapp> http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/disable-screensaver-lock-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
[15:15] <lpapp> ohh this one
[15:16] <llutz> jobinar: apt-get build-dep packagename
[15:16] <jobinar> Thanks llutz
[15:19] <arooni-mobile> hi folks; just swapped the hard drive in my lenovo t420 ; and i ran the smartmontools on the new drive with these results for the long test:  https://gist.github.com/2782166 ... this is a brand new drive.  do the results look good or should i be concerned?
[15:20] <L3tops> llutz: wouldn't you want a -b in there?
[15:21] <compdoc> arooni-mobile, Reallocated_Sector_Ct   is zero, so thats good
[15:21] <jobinar> L3tops: why is that needed?
[15:21] <L3tops> because it does the build.
[15:22] <jobinar> and if i dont, wouldn't make do it?
[15:22] <L3tops> yes... I was just trying to address your question: <jobinar> Does anyone know a single command to compile a source code to install all dependencies, without having to individually install each dependency?
[15:23] <arooni-mobile> compdoc, whats weird is that disk utility reports 17 unallocated sectors.  .... does smartmontools override disk utility?
[15:23] <L3tops> to compile with all of the dependencies from a single command would require the -b arg jobinar.
[15:23] <compdoc> arooni-mobile, should show the same info, unless one tool or the other is reading it wrong
[15:24] <compdoc> unallocated sectors? do you mean reallocated sectors?
[15:24] <jobinar> so is sudo apt-get build -b <packagename>,what i need to do?
[15:24] <jobinar> i mean 'build-dep"
[15:24] <jobinar> sorry for that
[15:24] <JHutson456_> I can't figure out what I did, but now in the file explorer all the icons are defaulted to be HUGE
[15:25] <HungryMan> Hey, is this the support IRC?
[15:25] <L3tops> correct jobinar
[15:25] <L3tops> yes HungryMan
[15:25] <jobinar> Thanks, L3tops!
[15:25] <arooni-mobile> companio-, disk utility shows 17 current pending sector count
[15:26] <HungryMan> Great. I'm trying to set up a chroot going by this wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot
[15:26] <companio-> arooni-mobile, stop highlighting me!
[15:26] <Baribal> Hey, HungryMan; did you name yourself after the The Wire character?
[15:26] <HungryMan> But I'm getting an error when I type schroot -l
[15:26] <HungryMan> I didn't =p I named myself after a sandwich lol
[15:26] <HungryMan> not as exciting
[15:27] <arooni-mobile> sorry comp!
[15:27] <arooni-mobile> compdoc, rather
[15:27] <HungryMan> Here's the command/error: root@colin-vaio:/home/colin# schroot -l

[15:27] <JHutson456_> dear lord, ignore me, I figured it out
[15:27] <JHutson456_> lol
[15:28] <compdoc> arooni-mobile, pending sectors arent as bad as rellocated. It could mean comm problems or power problems. It means they will continue to be tested
[15:28] <bieb> in ubuntu 12.04.. how do I change to the gtk greeter?
[15:28] <L3tops> HungryMan: Doesn't schroot require a location you are schrooting? What are you doing exactly?
[15:28] <vickMania> Anyone using Xmonad on Ubuntu 12.04?
[15:29] <L3tops> !anyone | vickMania
[15:29] <HungryMan> schroot -l should list all of the chroots i've created
[15:29] <HungryMan> I just created a chroot
[15:29] <bieb> !gtk greeter

[15:29] <vickMania> Does anyone use Xmonad on Ubuntu 12.04 ?
[15:30] <chu> vickMania: Don't repeatedly post the same thing so often. If you have a question, ask it. We'll see what the hive knows.
[15:30] <vickMania> hmm..sorry!
[15:31] <HungryMan> I made a topic about it btw: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1986089
[15:31] <HungryMan> It includes my full .conf file
[15:31] <chu> vickMania: That's fine, just ask your question straight off :)
[15:32] <vickMania> i am having problems with xmonad when i install it using repos, anyone else had any problem?
[15:32] <L3tops> !anyone | vickMania
[15:33] <Guest52888> hello there
[15:33] <chu> Hey Guest52888
[15:33] <L3tops> !details | vickMania
[15:33] <rems> what's up!
[15:35] <vickMania> I have a  problem with Xmonad, I'm running Ubuntu version 12.04. Its installs fine, but when i try to log out and relogin choosing xmonad just a blank screen comes and nothing happens
[15:36] <HungryMan> ok so i removed some spaces and now i get

[15:40] <ausnword> hey-0
[15:42] <LadyNikon> good morning.
[15:44] <L3tops> vickMania: chances are you haven't told anything else to start. can you pastebin your ~/.xinitrc
[15:44] <vickMania> yeah
[15:45] <vickMania> here is the ~/.xinitrc http://paste.ubuntu.com/1004935/
[15:45] <BLZbubba> ok so it is a total disaster to combine focus-follows-mouse with Unity
[15:45] <BLZbubba> if a window is at the bottom of the screen and there is another app above it, how do you get to the menu?
[15:47] <zykotick9> L3tops: i don't think .xinitrc is executed if you are using a DM.  i certainly could be wrong, but thought that is only a "startx" method
[15:47] <|DM|> huh?
[15:47] <L3tops> vickMania: go ahead and enter an @ to the end of the xmonad line (last line) that will bring up a terminal. You can install various things.
[15:47] <hairydog> thanks zykotick9
[15:47] <|DM|> why do people keep using me :<
[15:48] <compdoc> |DM|, its better than being left alone
[15:48] <|DM|> compdoc: but... but it feels like rape :< . The take me, they use me and they don't even talk to me. They just use me and move on.
[15:48] <|DM|> And I have to handle all their stuff
[15:49] <compdoc> welcome to IT
[15:49] <L3tops> There are various shortcuts to bring up applications in xmonad... I would google some...
[15:51] <vickMania> @L3tops is it possible that you can share your ~/.xinitrc if u have a working one?
[15:51] <rizzy> I can connect to my work wireless network, but I have no internet. If I am on windows it connects fine to the internet. If I am at home the wireless internet works fine. The only time I don't have internet is here at work with Ubuntu. Any ideas at all what could be hanging this up?

[15:53] <Mahasti> I'm having a problem installing ubuntu from a USB, I get to the advanced boot screen and when I try the 'install' option or 'try without installing' my computer restarts. I've tried deleting the quiet spash, and ive been messing with the options, still nothing. I've tried the settings on the boot manager page also... can anybody help me please?
[15:54] <ausnword> on the boot line type vga=395
[15:55] <bieb> Ubuntu 12.04 LTSP.. connecting to Active Directory with Likewise, to get the other user option back, one must disable the user list and guest account in lightdm or use the gtk greeter... is it as simple as going into lightdm.conf and change the line greeter-session=unity-greeter to "gtk-greeter" or is there more to it?
[15:55] <zykotick9> ausnword: fyi vga= has been deprectated for a while, can can cause issues (but might still work)

[16:01] <airstrike> hi. what's the easiest way to send an attachment from the terminal through gmail?
[16:02] <Mahasti> any other suggestions, ausnword? i appreciate your help so far
[16:02] <zykotick9> airstrike: if you use terminal based email - you might want to try mutt
[16:03] <airstrike> it's a one off thing, zykotick9
[16:03] <llutz> airstrike: mailx -a attachment -s subject tosomeone@somewhere        (heirloom-mailx)
[16:04] <reflexrg> is it because my system is setup for static ip?
[16:04] <designbybeck> Greetings Dr_willis
[16:04] <designbybeck> Good news, the jump drive worked as expected!!!
[16:05] <designbybeck> I have noticed though it does take a LONG time to install stuff??
[16:05] <Dr_willis> usb flash are slower then hds
[16:05] <designbybeck> ah I thought you said it would be faster Dr_willis
[16:05] <Dr_willis> faster then using a cd.
[16:05] <hairydog> ok so I used the guide to setting up a samba file server
[16:06] <designbybeck> ;)
[16:06] <ausnword> eSATA to hdmi
[16:06] <hairydog> I can see my ubuntu virtual machine from my windows box, but I can't access the share folder on it
[16:06] <Dr_willis> wait for USB3 flash drives to come out. ;)
[16:06] <hairydog> windows keeps asking for username/password authentication
[16:06] <designbybeck> OOHhhhhh
[16:06] <Dr_willis> hairydog,  you gave the samba user a samba password with the command 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' ?
[16:06] <ausnword> cant boot from my external usb hdd?
[16:07] <beandog> Dr_willis: do they really run that fast that they'd benefit from usb3?
[16:07] <hairydog> no
[16:07] <hairydog> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html
[16:07] <hairydog> ^ I followed that guide exactly as it is
[16:07] <Dr_willis> beandog,  my other usb3 hds seem a lot lot faster. ;)
[16:07] <beandog> Dr_willis: really?  huh.
[16:07] <Dr_willis> i have a large stack of external usb hds - i keep video files on.. so every bit of speed helps
[16:08] <Dr_willis> ever try to copy 1TB of data to a external usb? ;)
[16:08] <ausnword> mount -f?
[16:08] <designbybeck> yes Dr_willis... then I come back to it the next day!
[16:08] <designbybeck> ha
[16:08] <hairydog> I've never even had 1TB of data
[16:08] <beandog> Dr_willis: not lately.  Mine runs on eSATA, thank goodness
[16:09] <Dr_willis> I have a few external sata's but they never seem to work right.
[16:09] <hairydog> eSATA is faster than USB3 or no?
[16:09] <ausnword> dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/sda takes 45 min no matter
[16:09] <BLZbubba> hairydog: i would expect the drive to be the limiting factor either way
[16:09] <beandog> BLZbubba: yahp.
[16:09] <Dr_willis> yea - the hd themselfs are slower then what the buss/connections can handle i belive.
[16:10] <hairydog> let's say you have the same speed drive but one is USB3 one is eSATA, what would be a faster transfer rate?
[16:10] <Dr_willis> every improvement, leapfrogs other things to move the main bottleneck somewhere else.
[16:10] <beandog> probably eSATA
[16:10] <ausnword> eSATA to hdmi
[16:10] <ausnword> 1gb/sec
[16:10] <hairydog> oh nice
[16:10] <Dr_willis> sata comes in differnt speeds also now a days i belive..
[16:10] <beandog> sata 1, 2, 3
[16:10] <beandog> sata 3 is standard right now
[16:11] <BLZbubba> hairydog: but this is getting close to lmgtfy.com territory :)  e.g.: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2120266
[16:11] <pgib> Does anyone else dislike the "Enter" key behavior in the Unity HUD?  Pressing enter will execute whatever the first item is on the list - however, sometimes the list is slow to update.  Case in point: type "gimp" and press enter. Evince starts because the list didn't update in time.
[16:11] <Dr_willis> pgib,  cant say ive noticed that.
[16:11] <Dr_willis> brb. gotta do a reboots.
[16:11] <BLZbubba> "The transfer rates for eSATA and USB3 are very close. A really good eSATA setup should win by a narrow margin."
[16:11] <hairydog> anyhow, can anyone help me figure out what I did wrong
[16:11] <hairydog> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html
[16:11] <pgib> so now, if I want to issue a command, I need to wait an additional second for the hud to say "Oh he's done typing. Let's update the list"  In my opinion, after pressing enter it should perform one final "update" even if it is invisible to the user
[16:12] <hairydog> I followed that guide on setting up samba file server, I'm in an ubuntu virtual machine with a bridged network connection
[16:12] <hairydog> and I can see from my windows machine the shared folder
[16:12] <hairydog> but when I try to open it, windows authentication pops up asking for username/password
[16:12] <hairydog> I tried doing ubuntuvm\master and then my password
[16:12] <hairydog> but it didn't work
[16:12] <hairydog> tried using my network username and password and that didn't work either. I'm stumped
[16:13] <beandog> hairydog: did you use smbpasswd on the server?
[16:13] <hairydog> all I've done is what that guide said to do
[16:14] <hairydog> followed it step for step
[16:14] <beandog> I hate it when that happens
[16:14] <beandog> that's when I start throwing chairs across the room
[16:14] <hairydog> lol

[16:17] <beandog> listo
[16:18] <sirriffsalot> I've got this http://www.aten.com/products/productItem.php?model_no=CS12 but wonder how I could connect it to my two computers still using my USB devices (keyboard, mouse).... Is there a way to do this?
[16:19] <beandog> hairydog: you didn't uncomment security = user
[16:19] <hairydog> I did the first time and it asked me still
[16:19] <beandog> Lemme see what mine is. brb
[16:19] <hairydog> so I put it back thinking that it was trying to ask me about the username and password because of that
[16:19] <hairydog> and still got the same result
[16:19] <pgib> it will ask you, but I thought you would then use your ubuntu username and password
[16:20] <OerHeks> beandog, i see that he made changes, not all of them ( PAM ? ) and not in the right place
[16:21] <hairydog> yeah see I uncommented it again
[16:21] <beandog> OerHeks: oh yah?
[16:21] <hairydog> and restarted smbd and nmbd
[16:21] <beandog> hairydog: what changes did you make
[16:21] <hairydog> and it still is asking
[16:21] <beandog> hairydog: also, here's mine: http://pastebin.com/zTVkQqcL
[16:22] <beandog> wait sec
[16:22] <beandog> hairydog: go ahead and do smbpasswd again for the user
[16:23] <hairydog> what is smbpasswd?
[16:23] <beandog> changes samba passwords
[16:23] <beandog> smbpasswd <user>
[16:23] <beandog> user you're connecting as
[16:23] <beandog> changing unix password won't affec it
[16:24] <hairydog> enter that in console or what?
[16:24] <beandog> yahp
[16:24] <hairydog> ok
[16:24] <hairydog> it's asking for an option
[16:24] <hairydog> smbpasswd [options] [username]
[16:24] <hairydog> gives me a list of options
[16:25] <beandog> no options
[16:25] <zykotick9> sirriffsalot: you might want to ask in #hardware, obviously you'd need USB->PS2 adapters (and it may or may not work with those?)
[16:25] <hairydog> if I try to put no option it just asks me for option
[16:25] <beandog> what are you putting
[16:25] <zykotick9> sirriffsalot: i find most consumer grade KVMs are sketchy at the best of times
[16:25] <hairydog> oh
[16:25] <hairydog> I forgot to use sudo
[16:25] <hairydog> haha
[16:26] <beandog> lol
[16:26] <hairydog> k now what do i do?

[16:26] <beandog> that's all
[16:26] <hairydog> I did that
[16:27] <beandog> and did it let you in?
[16:27] <hairydog> no
[16:27] <beandog> well, frack.

[16:50] <L3top> sk1special: you should, in general, do this backwards. Install windows, and then install linux. You might try fixing the MBR from windows, and then grub-install update grub again. Windows 8 I have not done anything with.

[17:01] <sirriffsalot> cody_: although, considering you're not in charge here, your IP might get banned...:)
[17:01] <iceroot> daviddoria: you have to install apt-file first (sudo apt-get install apt-file) and then update the db (sudo apt-file update)
[17:01] <sirriffsalot> Am I right?
[17:01] <melvincv> so, uh, is it Fix committed or Fix released?
[17:01] <cody_> oh
[17:01] <cody_> :(
[17:01] <iceroot> sirriffsalot: i told you already, so stop it please
[17:01] <cody_> i wanted to have fun you party poopers>:(
[17:02] <cody_> :( u ruined it.....
[17:02] <amine_> hello
[17:02] <sirriffsalot> iceroot: and I told you "Why so serious about it?":D
[17:02] <iceroot> cody_: #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:02] <L3top> because havane31 is not getting helped sirriffsalot. havane31 can you please give details about the problem.
[17:02] <iceroot> sirriffsalot: #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:02] <nik_> I have a problem with Ubuntu 12.04, I changed the theme using MyUnity and the system froze
[17:02] <thauriswulfa> pungi-man: you want to go the easy way for ubuntu thats all I know
[17:02] <nik_> now when I try to login it just freezes
[17:02] <havane31> can i copy paste one line here?
[17:02] <melvincv> cody_: please, people need help with their ubuntu here
[17:02] <sirriffsalot> cody_: At least find comfort in the fact that you're not an old fart yet:D
[17:02] <cody_> How do you get to a chatroom that is not about computers?????
[17:02] <nik_> how do I change the theme from the commandline in a tty tterminal ?
[17:03] <L3top> yes havane31
[17:03] <havane31> dmesg result >>> [   21.365877] Adding 4192252k swap on /dev/mapper/cryptswap1.  Priority:-1 extents:1 across:4192252k  [   31.184015] eth0: no IPv6 routers present
[17:03] <pungi-man> thauriswulfa, even i know that ubuntu is for novices and fedora is a big man's job. but i want to know about intermediate users
[17:03] <havane31> it seems to slow down the boot
[17:03] <ausnword> does anyone else think magnitude is annoying?
[17:03] <L3top> cody_: /join #freenode  for irc related questions.
[17:03] <sirriffsalot> cody_: talk to friends?:P

[17:05] <daviddoria> Filezilla seems to be broken in 12.04: http://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24882&p=95859#p95859 - is there a reason why it isn't removed from the software sources?
[17:06] <trism> melvincv: the fix is not in 12.04, or even a released rhythmbox yet, the upstream code apparently has a new layout that doesn't have this problem, according to the gnome bug
[17:07] <havane31> perhaps i could disable the encryption, but i don't how to do it
[17:07] <anonymous_> s
[17:08] <anonymous_> hello
[17:08] <melvincv> trism: oops :( got to live with it then. I thought I could do some config to fix it
[17:09] <anonymous_> hello anonymous
[17:09] <anonymous_> ^)
[17:09] <trism> melvincv: we may still see it fixed, there is some discussion in the comments about added a workaround to the code
[17:09] <anonymous_> :)
[17:09] <L3top> havane31: disable the line in /etc/crypttab that mentions cryptswap and remove the cryptswap line from /etc/fstab... then cryptsetup remove cryptswap1, then you should be able to see the swap partition, and recreate it as a regular swap for good measure.
[17:10] <havane31> in fact the login sequence is too slow not the boot sequence sorry
[17:10] <L3top> havane31: I am cobbling this reply together from some things, so please backup anything you change.
[17:10] <havane31> 30 seconds to boot is ok
[17:11] <havane31> (i am not an ubuntu expert)
[17:11] <ausnword> how about 51 seconds to pull up a webpage?
[17:11] <morsnowski> shoot your isp
[17:12] <BLZbubba> the original problem scrolled off, what's the slowness issue?
[17:12] <morsnowski> !ot
[17:13] <con-man> The action would require the installation of packages from unauthenticated sources.
[17:13] <con-man> what's that message mean
[17:13] <con-man> I mean I know what it means
[17:13] <con-man> but it blocks me from installing any upates
[17:15] <ausnword> get with the abscence of the program
[17:16] <havane31> it seems to be a bug affecting only xubuntu but nobody answer on #xubuntu
[17:16] <havane31> sorry for the disturbance
[17:17] <L3top> con-man: What are you trying to install and from where?
[17:18] <ausnword> trying to connect sata II to hdmi directly
[17:18] <L3top> ausnword: stop spamming.
[17:18] <kyle__> xfce4-terminal is ignoring my shell and launching sh -> dash instead.  Anyone else experincing this after the latest update?
[17:20] <L3top> Might have better luck in #xfce kyle__
[17:20] <kyle__> L3top: Maybe, but given a 'buntu provided package that only changed behavior after an update, I thought it was worth asking if any other users noticed it.
[17:20] <kyle__> At least before heading there.
[17:23] <gaspernoe> hey there
[17:24] <harshad> how to automatically exeute particular command after startup in root previllage
[17:25] <thauriswulfa> harshad: what do you mean by that?
[17:25] <kyle__> harshad: that's what /etc/rc.local is for.  It's run as the last part of the boot sequence.
[17:25] <UncleSlippyFist> I just restarted after installing some updates, now my computer just booted into the cli. anyone else? I need help
[17:26] <harshad> kyle__:what should i do with that..??
[17:27] <kyle__> harshad: Open it in a text editor (as root) and enter the command you want to run as root right after the system finishes booting up.
[17:28] <harshad> kyle__:thanks..!!
[17:28] <kyle__> harshad: For example (assuming you had postfix sendmail exim4 whatever installed), you could put this line in there:  mail -s "The system booted up" me@myownpersonalphoneydomain.com
[17:29] <kyle__> harshad: NP.
[17:29] <e33> hi, i was running fedora 16, and virtualbox where i have backup all virtual hard disk  *.vdi on external hard disk. i change the operating system to ubuntu, so i could use the same vdi
[17:30] <kyle__> e33: the vdi format is identical on all platforms VBox runs on.  I frequently made VDIs files on OSX and used them in ubuntu.  You'll be fine.
[17:31] <Mahasti> I'm having a problem installing ubuntu from a USB, I get to the advanced boot screen and when I try the 'install' option or 'try without installing' my computer restarts. I've tried deleting the quiet spash, and ive been messing with the options, still nothing. I've tried the settings on the boot manager page also, adding vga=395 doesn't work either... can anybody help me please?
[17:32] <thauriswulfa> Mahasti: run a check on what its called maybe md5sum
[17:32] <thauriswulfa> Mahasti : Md5sum of the iso file
[17:33] <e33> but i was not able to add one of the O.S as on fedora the network is p2p1, but on ubuntu is eth0
[17:33] <piihb> What's the difference between downloading Ubuntu normally and downloading using the Windows installer?
[17:33] <alessio> anyone can tell me why I can't install ati driver?? raga qualcuno può guardare sto log e dirmi perchè non riesco ad installare sti fottutissimi driver ati?? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1005101/
[17:33] <e33> kyle__: this what is shows me
[17:33] <Dr_willis> piihb,  the installer downloads the same iso file
[17:34] <e33> kyle__ do i need to change some thing in the settings?
[17:34] <thauriswulfa> piihub: windows one will act as a windows program one you can install and uninstall from control panel
[17:34] <kyle__> e33: Fedora and other redhat derivitaves are starting to name ehternet devices like BSD does.  You just treat p2p1 as eth0.   It's a name, nothing more.
[17:35] <e33> i will tell exactly what is showing to me
[17:37] <lacinyc> I am currently using ubuntu precise, and generally like to keep my master audio channel at max volume so that I can tweak PCM with some hotkeys on the fly - however, something is constantly changing the PCM and Master channel levels so that PCM is higher and Master is lower; can anyone point me to the culprit of this level changing?
[17:37] <lacinyc> this did not happen with previous versions of ubuntu
[17:37] <red_> hi all I am wanting to put a super user on my android phone can anyone help or advice please
[17:38] <kyle__> red_: This is #ubuntu, not #android.  Also, google is your friend.
[17:39] <red_> thank you kyle I hope by your reponse there will be android chat room
[17:39] <kyle__> red_: Yup, there is.
[17:40] <thauriswulfa> #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:40] <lucid> haha google is your friend
[17:40] <lucid> good one
[17:40] <kyle__> lucid: I suppose when dealing with android that may be taking multiple ways hu? :D
[17:41] <lucid> Just installed Ubuntu beside windows 7 but it keeps going directly going to win7 without giving the choice between the two
[17:41] <lucid> to right kyle
[17:42] <lucid> im new to this but I think whats missing the GRUB?
[17:42] <kyle__> lucid: Which boot-loader comes up?  Grub or winii whatever-tf-it is?
[17:42] <lucid> just win
[17:42]  * kyle__ nods
[17:42] <lucid> no grub, but ubuntu is installed on a partition
[17:42] <lucid> should i install ubuntu first?
[17:43] <Mahasti> thauriswulfa, I ran a md5 checker off of cnet and it doesnt match...
[17:43] <kyle__> lucid: You need to install grub.  I think there's some little helper script/tool that will automake the settings for you to go into the OS of your choice.  But someone else will have to help you, I'm not that great with grub.
[17:43] <fabiobik> im trying to get my omnikey 5321 reader work but when i start pcscd daemon i get this

[17:43] <e33> kyle__: hi, i was running fedora 16, and virtualbox where i have backup all virtual hard disk  *.vdi on external hard disk. i change the operating system to ubuntu, so i could use the same vdi
[17:43] <lucid> thanks lads/gals?
[17:43] <thauriswulfa> Mahasti : you got to download again then because the previous file was damaged I guess
[17:43] <lucid> :)
[17:44] <Mahasti> ok, thank you ;)
[17:44] <NoiseEee> anyone think of why a linux/ubuntu server would switch to a dhcp-given IP without me issuing a network restart, and with a static IP set in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[17:44] <wmarone_> has anyone had trouble with package authentication? I have a fresh install of lubuntu 12.04 and keep getting "the following packages cannot be authenticated" for every apt-get install command, even after doing an apt-get update... any ideas?
[17:45] <lacinyc> it appears my "volume levels changing" was due to the audio device being configured as "with amplifier", since it seems to have stopped after changing that..
[17:45] <lacinyc> so, hurray, and such.
[17:45] <Guest90451> Hi, someone known how to connect thunderbird to a microsoft exchange server
[17:45] <Guest90451> ?
[17:45] <kyle__> e33: The VDI format is the same across distros & systems.  This is a virtualbox issue.  All you need to do is make new VMs and point them to the VDI files.  Someone in a virtualbox channel may be able to help.
[17:45] <kyle__> Guest90451: You just do.  Probably telling it it's IMAP is best.
[17:46] <fabiobik> im trying to get my omnikey 5321 reader work but when i start pcscd daemon i get this http://pastebin.com/iT4vjTGZ
[17:46] <e33> thanks a lot kyle__\
[17:46] <BA707> Good morning All...  Just coming back to Ubuntu after being away for a couple years.   Ran out of patience with 'the Puppies'...
[17:47] <Guest90451> kyle__, I've got the server name from outlook express, but I can't configure it on thenderbird
[17:47] <sk1special> how do i fix.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1005123/
[17:47] <sk1special> even tho thats allready what my res is set to
[17:49] <LucidGuy> sk1special, nVidia?
[17:49] <BA707> First things first...  On the login screen, whatever account I click on, the first time I click on it after entering that screen (or re-entering it), there is no field for the password.  I must CANCEL that first attempt, then on the second try - the password field comes up.  Is there a fix for this ?
[17:49] <sk1special> yezzir
[17:49] <kyle__> Guest90451: You just put it in as an IMAP server, and (if you're on it's local network) the SMTP server.  If you're not on it's local network, you may have to find another SMTP server.  For whatever reason the thunderbird build in ubuntu doesn't let you save your account & account settings if the SMTP server is bad/non-existant/not-responding.
[17:49] <sk1special> its not a big deal.. just lame to have it pop up every restart
[17:49] <LucidGuy> using nouveau or nvidia drivers?
[17:49] <quixotedon> BA707: what versioin are you using?
[17:49] <sk1special> ahh.. im  not sure
[17:50] <Pictix> Bonsoir tout le monde / Hi everybody
[17:50] <LucidGuy> sk1special, lsmod and grep for nouv
[17:50] <Guest90451> kyle__, thank you, I'll try
[17:50] <LucidGuy> What distro/version?
[17:50] <BA707> sk1special: Lucid 10.04 LTS (simply because that is the CD I have)
[17:51] <gmcinnes> Howdy all
[17:51] <quixotedon> !fr | Pictix
[17:51] <vickMania> Someone please help me with my ganglia installation. Here is my paste of the error i am getting. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1005140/
[17:51] <Pictix> thanx quixotedon :)
[17:51] <sk1special> i have 12.04 lts. but LucidGuy: just run sudo lsmod? and will that mess up anything?
[17:51] <Dr_willis> BA707,  weird., You have installed all updates and so forth>
[17:51] <Dr_willis> sk1special,  lsmod just lists the modules..
[17:52] <Dr_willis> like 'ls' shows files.. 'lsmod' shows modules that are loaded.
[17:52] <naryfa> Hi everyone. Anybody here need's a Linux admin ? I need a job :)
[17:52] <sk1special> Dr_willis: ah mmk. still new :]
[17:52] <LucidGuy> sk1special, ok right off the bat Im walking away from your issue .. I'm not a fan of Unity.  If this was a nice Gnome2 environment then I could help.
[17:52] <gmcinnes> In my stupidity, I removed grub from a machine. I've managed to boot the machine from ubuntu rescue remix. How do I get into the "real" environment so I can reinstall grub?
[17:52] <gianfranco> como configurar ubunu para que no consuma mucha bateria?
[17:53] <gianfranco> algun tip?
[17:53] <Dr_willis> gmcinnes,  you dont really need to get into the real enviroment if you install the fix-boot utility. or use the proper command like options
[17:53] <Dr_willis> !fixgrub
[17:53] <Dr_willis> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair boot-repair tool can be installed on the live cd (to ram) and can fix a lot of the issues
[17:53] <sk1special> LucidGuy: lmao. ah mmk sall good.. yeah took a couple days of help on here to get my setup actually working ..was all kinda issues. but all thats wrong now is that t/y anyway tho
[17:54] <JessicaW> can you use setgid on a directory for one group and then setgid for another group in a subdirectory of that directory?
[17:54] <gmcinnes> Dr_willis: I just uninstalled grub, and forgot to re-install :( Dumb.
[17:54] <Dr_willis> gmcinnes,  Hmm.. thats.. weird. why would you remove grub? :)
[17:55] <BA707> sk1special:  Did I miss your response ?
[17:55] <Dr_willis> gmcinnes,  in that case you do need to chroot in and reinstall grub i imagine.
[17:55] <gmcinnes> I'm having issues going from 10.04 to 12.04. do-release-upgrade leaves me with an unbootable disk.
[17:55] <sk1special> BA707: ah maybe? lol if you were asking which verzion i have its 12.04 lts
[17:55] <sk1special> version*
[17:55] <gmcinnes> However, apt-get uninstall —purge grub2*; apt-get install grub2 fixes everything.
[17:56] <gmcinnes> I just forgot the 2nd step on one machine :)
[17:56] <gmcinnes> Dr_willis: Any cluestick on how to chroot? It's been a while.
[17:56] <BA707> sk1: negative...  I answered your question about which version *I* am using with the login password field fail.
[17:56] <diakite> hi everybody
[17:57] <quixotedon> BA707: that was my question :)
[17:57] <quixotedon> BA707: have you tried updating after logging in?
[17:57] <BA707> sk1special: negative...  I answered your question about which version *I* am using with the login password field fail.
[17:58] <diakite> I'm newcomer and I wanna know why my Ubuntu12.04 cant run airmon-ng
[17:58] <sk1special> BA707 : but .. i didnt ask you any questions
[17:58] <quixotedon> diakite: it's no longer supported
[17:58] <d8bhatta> Hey guys, I have installed sendmail, set up smtp server info into php.ini, when I execute my php code, it neither gives me error nor i receive emails
[17:59] <Gewinnen> new to kubuntu, trying to update my java. I'm having some trouble
[17:59] <d8bhatta> Any idea?
[17:59] <JessicaW> d8bhatta: can you send mail through sendmail without using php?
[17:59] <diakite> do I have another way to get it??
[17:59] <JessicaW> d8bhatta: I would start there. make sure it's working and configured properly. Then once you've verified that, check your php.
[17:59] <BA707> sk1special: Someone asks me..  Thought it was you..  Sorry..  <checking back in history>
[18:00] <JessicaW> is anyone familiar with setgid permissions?
[18:00] <diakite> quiotedon do I have another way to get it??
[18:00] <diakite> quixotedon do I have another way to get it??
[18:01] <BA707> quixotedon: Guessit was you that asked..  :)  I am using v10.04 LTS (because that is the CD I have)
[18:02] <sk1special> Ba707: sall good. with my supa limited knowledge .. i would say that just sounds like your pc is supa garby :] when i use my older ide harddrive i have issues like that especially on boot
[18:03] <newlou-os> I'm new to Zorin, having trouble printing-any help out there?
[18:03] <d8bhatta> JessicaW: I think sendmail is  not configured yet
[18:03] <d8bhatta> :(
[18:04] <Dr_willis> newlou-os,  zorin has its own support channels - somewhere.. its not ubuntu.
[18:04] <quixotedon> diakite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apoaHf8tPVk but i haven't tried it yet
[18:04] <Dr_willis> newlou-os,  and last i used zorin. i figured i was better off with ubuntu. ;)
[18:04] <diakite> ok thank you
[18:04] <JessicaW> d8bhatta: if you're just using to let your php script send mail, be lazy, uninstall sendmail and install ssmtp. It's super easy to configure.
[18:05] <d8bhatta> JessicaW: hmm...ok..
[18:05] <quixotedon> BA707: sometimes fault things like that happen but it only occasionally happens
[18:05] <newlou-os> anyone know where Zorin board is?
[18:06] <Dr_willis> newlou-os,  id say check their homepage/forums for mention of irc channels. it might be #zorin  it might not be on this server at all
[18:06] <BA707> quixotedon: I have lost track of where the utility is for changing the background and layout of the login screen.  Is that still available ?  Perhaps changing that will straighten out the prob ?
[18:06] <JessicaW> d8bhatta: here. this helps. http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/10/21/sending-email-from-your-system-with-ssmtp/
[18:07] <newlou-os> zorin is ubuntu isn't it?
[18:07] <JessicaW> d8bhatta: but, if you plan on sending and receiving mail, either configure sendmail or install postifix.
[18:07] <Dr_willis> newlou-os,  just because its based on ubuntu, does not make it supported here.
[18:07] <famicube64> does anyone know how to change the grub resolution? I want it to be 1080p for my VM
[18:07] <newlou-os> ok thanks Dr. willis
[18:07] <d8bhatta> JessicaW:  I only need to send email
[18:07] <Dr_willis> famicube64,  /etc/default/grub
[18:07] <d8bhatta> so ssmtp may be a good choice
[18:08] <Dr_willis> i dont see much point in grub being 1080p :)
[18:08] <quixotedon> BA707: have you tried using others such as gnome ?? sorry, i started using ubuntu since 10.10 so i haven't had much idea about 10.04 layout
[18:08] <famicube64> yes I know the config file but I don't know what to add to make it 1080
[18:08] <Dr_willis> theres a few lines detailign the res in the file.
[18:08] <Dr_willis> or check the grub2 docs.
[18:08] <Dr_willis> !grub2
[18:09] <kyle__> Hu.  OK my weird shell issue is, in fact, with ubuntu.
[18:09] <quixotedon> diakite: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/aircrack-ng/1:1.1-1.1build1 (is where it is mentioned deleted)
[18:09] <jiffe98> is there a way of finding recently installed packages?
[18:09] <diakite> ok
[18:10] <JessicaW> d8bhatta: well, ssmtp is definitely the easiest. It uses whatever mail server you already have setup. For example, lets say you use gmail. You point ssmtp to use mail.gmail.com and give it the authentication info and it takes care of the rest.
[18:10] <kanfathufoolhu_> hei i need some help
[18:10] <Gewinnen> new to kubuntu, trying to update my java. I'm having some trouble
[18:10] <Dr_willis> jiffe1,  must be. ive noticed the 'logwatch' utility giveing me a summary of recently installed packages. so the log files in /var/log perhaps have info
[18:10] <kanfathufoolhu_> i need to fix permissions to ubuntu
[18:10] <kyle__> I'm running a script from crontab, that checks for a dead vnc cleans up and runs a new one, or runs a new vnc iff none is running.
[18:10] <kanfathufoolhu_> i am having extreme problems with ubuntu
[18:10] <JessicaW> d8bhatta: if you don't have access to an external smtp server then, use postfix, i personally find it easier to configure than sendmail.
[18:11] <BA707> quixotedon:  Nope...  Just installed this a couple days ago and have not really tried anything other than the OEM tools/settings.   My next step is to d/l all the updates, but I wanted to be SURE none of THEM were going to break the install or cause instability, first.  Are there any 'updates' that I should NOT do ?
[18:11] <Dr_willis> kyle__,  i have seen ways to use xinit, or upstart to spawn a vnc session as needed.
[18:11] <MustaKotka> Hi, I'm trying to install the latest Ubuntu on my VirtualBox. I would like it to "Download updates while installing", but it says that I am not connected to Internet... How should I proceed?
[18:11] <d8bhatta> JessicaW: ok..will try ssmtp first and see how it goes
[18:11] <kyle__> Inside of those VNC sessions (run from crontab), the shell settings are screwed up.  It ignores the shell in /etc/passwd, and manually running bash it refuses to read it's .bash_profile and .bashrc
[18:11] <Dr_willis> MustaKotka,  either way wont matter much. i wonder why your vm is not connectged to the internet however.
[18:12] <JessicaW> d8bhatta: if that doesn't work for you, here's a basic postfix setup. it's what's preferred by the ubuntu community. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto
[18:12] <kyle__> Dr_willis: True, but there's no reason this shouldn't work.
[18:12] <quixotedon> BA707: i think try updating the security updates first
[18:12] <Dr_willis> kyle__,  personally i ssh in, and start vncserver as needed..
[18:12] <Dr_willis> kyle__,  i find the whole auto launching/keeping it going just adds to much hassle
[18:12] <MustaKotka> Dr_willis, any ideas how to connect it or should I ask google?
[18:13] <quixotedon> BA707: recommended updates can be done later, u know every new version comes with some bug, they might be fixed after updating
[18:13] <ausnword> Dr Kinect
[18:13] <Dr_willis> MustaKotka,  i dont even knwo what VM you are using.. vbox has alwyas connected automatically for me
[18:13] <BA707> quixotedon:  Thank you...  Good advice, will do that now..  I will be back...  (also, time for Tea)  ;)
[18:13] <kyle__> Dr_willis: I was developing this script mostly for student VMs.  If VNC dies, and is automatically restarted, I'll get far fewer support calls.
[18:13] <quixotedon> BA707: go ahead, i'll be off for sleeping (its
[18:13] <MustaKotka> latest version of Oracle VM VirtualBox
[18:13] <eok> anyone here have ffmpeg and a webcam and would want to test something for me?
[18:13] <quixotedon> it's more than midnight here.. :)
[18:13] <ausnword> tits
[18:14] <BA707> quixotedon:  updating might also solve the intermittant screen blackout I've been suffering..  Thanks Again..  ttfn
[18:14] <quixotedon> ausnword: keep the language nice please
[18:14] <kyle__> eok: And lets turn down the creepy here, and turn up the facts...what are you trying to do/test?
[18:14] <quixotedon> BA707: i think so
[18:14] <kanfathufoolhu_> is there anyway to mount the web server folder in apache to home
[18:14] <dagerik> kanfathufoolhu_: Create a symlink in your web folder.
[18:14] <kanfathufoolhu_> because i am having permission problem cause it is in /var
[18:14] <BA707> That's one of the Seven Dirty Words you can't say on IRC..  ;)  (ala George Carlin)
[18:15] <ausnword> */home
[18:15] <MustaKotka> Dr_willis: latest version of Oracle VM VirtualBox
[18:15] <LadyNikon> RIP George
[18:15] <kyle__> kanfathufoolhu_: Sure, you can specify where it is in the apache config files.  Or if you mean ~kyle ~george pages, that's called public home folders.
[18:15] <kanfathufoolhu_> dagerik: how to i create a symlink
[18:15] <eok> kyle_: grab desktop, sound from mic, and webcam. put webcam as an overlay in the bottom right corner, send it to vlc and stream it out on http
[18:15] <dagerik> kanfathufoolhu_: The "ln" command.
[18:15] <Dr_willis> MustaKotka,  check the network card settings perhaps. vbox always connected to the internet for me when ivd ran linux in it.
[18:15] <eok> kyle_ i dont have a webcam here, so i don't know if my code will work
[18:16] <Dr_willis> kanfathufoolhu_,  the web servers normally have some security settings where they may or may not follow links. for security reasons
[18:16] <MustaKotka> Dr_willis, thanks for the help.
[18:16] <BA707> LadyNikon: Yes..  Definately..
[18:16] <kyle__> eok: Sure, easy to do with X and any video player that can render to the X background (mplayer can), but with gnome/kde desktops its a bit harder, as they often write to that layer for backgorunds and stuff.
[18:16] <kanfathufoolhu_> Dr_willis: so will the sym link work and if so what shoud i do since i am pretty new to linux
[18:16] <dagerik> kanfathufoolhu_: Here is an example: cd /var/www && ln -s /home/john/ johns_folder
[18:17] <eok> kyle_ i might have figured out how to do it all with just ffmpeg and vlc, but getting this here: failed to avformat_open_input 'v4l2'
[18:17] <kyle__> eok: I used to play movies fullscreen as my background, while working (fluxbox wm + mplayer)
[18:17] <kanfathufoolhu_> dagerik: will it fix the permission issues
[18:17] <Dr_willis> kanfathufoolhu_,  no idea. Id keep the web files in the proper dirs and not be tossing links around.
[18:17] <BA707> LadyNikon:  Got a lot of laughs from that guy, especially in the early years (WYNO Radio), got a little rough later on, but still a good comedian...
[18:17] <eok> kyle_: I dont have a webcame here so not sure if its a wrong argument or not
[18:17] <dagerik> kanfathufoolhu_: What permission issues do you have?
[18:17] <BA707> Ooops..  Off topic..  Sorry..  I'm outta here..  Bye All..
[18:17] <kyle__> eok: I did that as well, to test.  I used mplayer, not ffmpeg, but the theory holds.  It works.
[18:18] <LadyNikon> BA707: indeed.
[18:18] <eok> kyle_ ok i do this:
[18:18] <eok> ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1680x1050 -r 30 -i :0.0+0,0 -vf "movie=v4l2 [webcam]; [in][webcam] overlay=main_w-overlay_w-10:main_h-overlay_h-10 -s 640x360 [out]" -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -s 1280x768 -acodec libfaac -threads 0 -f mpegts - | vlc -I dummy -
[18:18] <eok> --sout '#std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:3030}'
[18:19] <kanfathufoolhu_> dagerik: the problem i am having is that if i have to zip anything to web folder i dunt have any permission even when i was installing joomla i cudnt even remove the installation folder cause it has no permissions
[18:19] <Dr_willis> whats scary  is that i understand like 75% of that command line. ;)
[18:19] <ausnword> 75%=filename
[18:19] <Dr_willis> theres only like 3 of the options/arguments i dont recall ever using. ;p
[18:20] <kanfathufoolhu_> dagerik: ok which is the way that the permissions are to be granted since its root root
[18:20] <dagerik> kanfathufoolhu_: You need to be more specific. You probably also need to go read how users, processes and permission works.
[18:21] <kanfathufoolhu_> dagerik: ok in the web root folder (www) what should it be like since now i have root as group and root as owner
[18:21] <eok> kyle_ I assume this message is because i don't have a webcam connected: [movie @ 0xa3b1fa0] Failed to avformat_open_input 'v4l2'
[18:21] <dagerik> kanfathufoolhu_: It is okay having root to be owner of /var/www
[18:22] <dagerik> kanfathufoolhu_: You need to be more spesific. What do you want to do?
[18:23] <tking0038> how can I open an ssh connection over an http proxy on ubuntu?
[18:25] <syntroPi> kanfathufoolhu_, there is a user/group "www-data"?
[18:25] <tking0038> that is the apache group
[18:26] <ResponsiveOS> Is xubuntu fastest (most responsive) ubuntu version? (Im on kinda old hardware).
[18:26] <d8bhatta> Ru nning the command ssmtp myemailaddress@gmail.com < msg.txt my terminal is hanged
[18:26] <tking0038> no lubuntu is faster
[18:26] <alinazih> alinazih
[18:27] <piihb> Can someone walk me through adding to the grub line, step by step?
[18:27] <Gewinnen> new to kubuntu, trying to update my java. I'm having some trouble
[18:27] <tking0038> Gewinnen: what is the problem
[18:28] <Gewinnen> i can't figure out what to do, I've downloaded the Java 7u4 jdk/jre, but now am unable to get it goin
[18:28] <d8bhatta> one thing I have not understood, why do we need to install sendmail or ssmtp in my local ubuntu machine when I am using amazon email server? I am developing locally so I think it should be ok if i  update my php.ini with smtp info. anybody can give clear idea abt this?
[18:28] <tking0038> Gewinnen: what you have downloaded is called a binary...
[18:29] <tking0038> Gewinnen: inside there is a bin folder .. there is the java exec.. which you can use to run java programs
[18:29] <Gewinnen> ah ok
[18:30] <Gewinnen> im in the bin folder, but dont see any exc files
[18:30] <piihb> Can someone walk me through adding to the grub line, step by step?
[18:30] <sirriffsalot> piihb: adding the grub line?
[18:30] <tking0038> Gewinnen: it doesnt have an extension ... its just called java
[18:30] <tking0038> Gewinnen: you can execute it by doing ./java on the terminal
[18:30] <Gewinnen> okay ill try
[18:30] <Fat-Thing> does anyone knows a perl editor for ubuntu 10.04!?
[18:30] <piihb> "Add to the grub boot line the following options...
[18:31] <ResponsiveOS> tking0038 I have tried Lubuntu its oke.Doesnt seem so responsive but ok. Thx and bye
[18:31] <dagerik> Fat-Thing: vim
[18:31] <sirriffsalot> piihb: what guide exactly are you following? Just in case:)
[18:31] <piihb> sirriffsalot: "Add to the grub boot line the following options"
[18:31] <Dr_willis> Fat-Thing,  geany is a good editor for programers also
[18:31] <syntroPi> piihb, maybe look at /etc/default/grub and "sudo update-grub", but be carefull with those
[18:31] <Fat-Thing> wat about monodevelop!? does it support perl programming?
[18:32] <tking0038> mono is for .net
[18:32] <sirriffsalot> piihb: if I'm guessing right I suppose it means you'll get to the grub selection menu when you boot by holding in shift, and then clicking "e" on the particular version you want to edit. But what guide etc are you following so we're sure?
[18:32] <Dr_willis> most people tend to run away from mono.
[18:32] <Dr_willis> ;)
[18:32] <sirriffsalot> piihb: or what syntroPi said, emphasis on the "careful" bit
[18:32] <piihb> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops/Dell/XPS/15z
[18:32] <Dr_willis> Im not sure why you really need a fancy editor for perl.
[18:33] <Fat-Thing> i see so can i get that geany on software centre Dr_willis ?
[18:33] <dagerik> When I add a symlink in /var/www it doesnt show up in the directory listing. It is 777.
[18:33] <Dr_willis> !info geany
[18:33] <sirriffsalot> piihb: ah yes
[18:33] <Dr_willis> geany is also ported to windows. ;)
[18:33] <sirriffsalot> piihb: to do that you do as I said
[18:33] <sirriffsalot> piihb: but take care to do it correctly
[18:33] <sirriffsalot> piihb: or follow as the guide says further down:P
[18:33] <piihb> So I can't talk to you all while I do it :o
[18:33] <piihb> :(
[18:34] <sirriffsalot> piihb: well, follow what it says just below!
[18:34] <sirriffsalot> piihb:  "To keep these option edit the grub command. Execute this in a terminal :   $ sudo gedit /etc/default/grub"
[18:34] <tking0038> have any of you guys used intel c/c++ compiler?
[18:34] <piihb> sirriffsalot: But I havne't edited the grub yet, so those terminal commands will do nothing, right?
[18:35] <sirriffsalot> piihb: once you do "sudo update-grub" and reboot the changes will have taken effect
[18:35] <sirriffsalot> piihb: be sure to take a backup of the file you edit
[18:35] <sirriffsalot> In this case the file /etc/default/GRUB/ "GRUB":P
[18:36] <sirriffsalot> piihb: I prefer to do those changes the way I said, but the terminal way is just as user-friendly I suppose, especially if you want help as you do things
[18:36] <Gewinnen> tking0038, I got the java exc up in konsole, it shows a list of commands
[18:36] <Fat-Thing> i think gvim is also a good editor wish me luck.....i'm tired of this ubuntu exploits hehehe need to be productive to contribute a lil on this distro wew thanx guys for tending the noobs well :) goodnight
[18:37] <tking0038> Gewinnen: so say there was a jar file you were trying to run you could do ./java -jar /location/of/jar.jar
[18:37] <kyle__> tking0038: Yea, awhile ago.  Was OK.
[18:37] <tking0038> kyle__: did you get any of the performance it talks about
[18:37] <piihb> sirriffsalot: Wonderful! Thanks for your help :)
[18:37] <kyle__> eok: Sorry had to go do work.  But it's the output, the renderer, that's the key.  Reading from a v4l device is pretty standard.
[18:37] <sirriffsalot> piihb: all sorted out?
[18:37] <gdoteof> ipod touch 4th gen.  do i give up now trying to connect to ubuntu sans virtualbox?
[18:37] <sirriffsalot> piihb: do a reboot before you cheer!:)
[18:38] <gdoteof> or can it be done
[18:38] <piihb> sirriffsalot: I'll find out when I restart, but it's further than I've gotten before lol.
[18:38] <piihb> So thanks
[18:38] <piihb> !
[18:38] <sirriffsalot> piihb: cheers:) I'm pretty new to linux myself, but spent shitloads of time on that stuff
[18:38] <sirriffsalot> piihb: I'm a master at debugging nvidia trouble now ;D
[18:38] <kyle__> tking0038: It was awhile ago, and none of my code was really performance intensive, so I had to make some artificial stuff (mandelbrot fractal, etc).  It did beat out gcc at the time, but that was when gcc was barely in the 3s.
[18:38] <sirriffsalot> piihb: ish anyway
[18:39] <tking0038> kyle__: do you think I would get a performance increase if i tried to compile openjdk in it
[18:39] <kyle__> tking0038: Some things really will bennefit from the performance, but it's not easy to tell.
[18:39] <sirriffsalot> piihb: may I suggest you reboot now so you don't wake up to an unfunctional computer that ruins your breakfast?:)
[18:39] <kyle__> tking0038: I don't really think so.  A jdk is so complex, I doubt much of it's efficiencies/inefficiencies are affected by the compiler.
[18:40] <fabiobik> Failed to load symbol for: SCardCancelTransaction, /usr/local/lib/libpcsclite.so.1: undefined symbol:
[18:40] <fabiobik> does anyone had this error?
[18:40] <tking0038> kyle__: thanks.. what does icc help with
[18:40] <djszapi> Hey! Is it possible to eliminate the top bar on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ?
[18:40] <tking0038> kyle__: is it more of the math typed stuff
[18:40] <fabiobik> im trying to use rfidiot with my omnikey reader
[18:40] <Dr_willis> djszapi,  not really
[18:40] <sirriffsalot> djszapi: what top bar?
[18:41] <Dr_willis> djszapi,  unity puts the menus in that bar. :)
[18:41] <kyle__> tking0038: Computationally complex code, mathy stuff.  Outside of that, it's probably a tossup as to which is faster.
[18:41] <tking0038> install lxde ... be done with unity
[18:41] <sirriffsalot> djszapi: I'm with tking0038 on this one
[18:41] <tking0038> kyle__: ok ... thanks again
[18:41] <eok> kyle__: i think i figured it out: http://ffmpeg.org/libavfilter.html#movie
[18:41] <kyle__> tking0038: Don't waste to much time playing with compile flags and speed testing.  It's a black hole you'll get sucked down into.
[18:41] <sirriffsalot> djszapi: or if you're addicted to gnome layout, at least go for gnome classic
[18:41] <tking0038> better go for the new mate thing
[18:42] <eok> kyle__: movie=/dev/video0:f=video4linux2
[18:42] <kyle__> tking0038: If it's your own code, use a profiler see where it's slow.  THat will help nomatter what compiler it's compiled with.
[18:42] <Dr_willis> but dont expect support for 'mate' in here. ;)

[18:42] <Uncle_> hi
[18:42] <tking0038> lol dpkg --configure -a
[18:42] <kyle__> eok: Sweet.
[18:42] <Uncle_> how do u display temperatures in gnome-panel in 12.04?
[18:43] <tking0038> t432:  you are going to have to figure out what package is causing the problem and remove it
[18:43] <Uncle_> after upgrading the applet was gone
[18:43] <Dr_willis> Uncle_,  thers some indicator-applets in the repos, or differnt ppas that can add that feature
[18:43] <Dr_willis> Uncle_,  the askubuntu.com site has a big list of all known indicator-applets you can add.
[18:43] <eok> kyle__: yea, can't wait to get back to work tomorrow, they can kiss the f*ing webex presentations goodbye :D
[18:43] <Uncle_> thanks, i'll check it out
[18:43] <t432> tking0038: name of the package is "nvedia_current"
[18:43] <kyle__> eok: Heh. I lothe webex.
[18:43] <t432> how do i manually remove it?
[18:44] <eok> kyle__: yea me too!
[18:44] <tking0038> t432: sudo apt-get remove
[18:44] <t432> tried that
[18:44] <djszapi> sirriffsalot: I would need to have a full screen application
[18:44] <t432> sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current
[18:44] <djszapi> sirriffsalot: and I would use the OS only for that application in this customer project on the toughbook.
[18:44] <djszapi> I was able to disable the bar on the left, but it would be nice to disable at the top as well.
[18:45] <L3top> t432: I doubt that this is the source package that is the problem
[18:45] <t432> tking0038: How do you remove non-ubuntu pak's e.g. ones installed via command "sh"/
[18:45] <L3top> t432: what is the output of dpkg --configure -a
[18:45] <L3top> in pastebin please
[18:45] <t432> 1 sec
[18:45] <tking0038> t432: that isnt whats giving you the broken package... that is a problem with apt
[18:45] <natosha> Does anyone know what unholy thing someone has to do to get spaces with filenames to be included in a .deb package?  I'm hoping that http://fzu.cz/~dominecf/linux/deb_package_with_diacritics_and_spaces.html is not the only answer :-(
[18:45] <djszapi> sirriffsalot: I would need a rebooted toughbook with auto login with screen lock disabled, bars on the left and top
[18:46] <djszapi> I would have ideally one launcher icon on the desktop.
[18:46] <tking0038> t432: things you install manually dont interact with apt and cant give you the broken package eroor
[18:46] <L3top> natosha: you must escape spaces ie: this\ is\ a\ package.deb
[18:46] <kyle__> natosha: I_hope_not,_but_wouldn't_be_surprised_if_that_were_the_case.
[18:46] <tking0038> try "
[18:46] <natosha> L3top, it doesn't seem to be working; let me check again

[18:48] <Uncle_> Dr_willis: i could not find it :/
[18:49] <natosha> L3top, I agree, but long story short, renaming this file is simply not going to happen :-(
[18:49] <L3top> t432: assuming you have no issues there, I would recommend sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates        It is less buggy than nvidia-current (295.40)
[18:49] <tking0038> you probably got the broken package from installing skype or something ... i wish these proprietary software vendors would just give out plain binary files
[18:49] <Uncle_> i found a list but there were not any temp sensors
[18:49] <ausnword> my password encryption is broken

[18:50] <Dr_willis> Hardware Sensors Indicator
[18:51] <kyle__> ausnword: Interesting observation.  Why on earth would you say that?
[18:51] <L3top> natosha: did escaping not work? if not try quotes... quotes with spaces... double then single... it is a weird problem sorry.
[18:51] <Uncle_> Dr_willis: ok, thx
[18:51] <t432> tking0038: In the "Additional Hardware Drivers" Menue I have to Drivers listed, when I try to activate either i get the message: SystemError: E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

[18:52] <Mahasti> Ok, when i try to install from a live cd, i get the error 'Kernel panic - not syncining:VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)' Im pretty sure my download wasnt corrupted....
[18:52] <natosha> L3top, yeah, tried escaping and quotes; neither helped.  I guess I'll write a script that renames it post-install.

[18:53] <t432> apt-get install nvidia-current could work, not tried
[18:53] <Cerrdor> yes

[19:01] <t432> L3top: the package is all screwed up, i need to remove it
[19:01] <L3top> what package is screwed up t432?
[19:01] <tking0038> Cerrdor: you did http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin right?
[19:01] <L3top> nik90: how did you install?
[19:02] <t432> nvedia
[19:02] <kyle__> eok: I don't have my laptop here, and all the linux systems I have here are servers.
[19:02] <Cerrdor> I did localhost/phpmyadmin
[19:02] <nik90> L3top, I tried changing themes using MyUnity ... by mistake I selected some other default theme and the computer froze
[19:02] <eok> ok
[19:02] <Cerrdor> not the same?
[19:02] <Cerrdor> lol
[19:02] <L3top> t432: did it error when you installed it?
[19:02] <eok> same :(
[19:02] <L3top> nvidia-current-updates I mean t432
[19:02] <tking0038> nik90: just hit ctrl + alt + f2 install openbox... undo whatever you did
[19:02] <nik90> L3top, it is clean install 12.04 with Unity..I tried rebooting and logging in and it freezes in the login screen
[19:02] <t432> L3top: Nope, when when I try to activiate the driver through "Addtional Hardware"
[19:03] <nik90> tking0038, is there way to change the theme using tty?
[19:03] <t432> when = only
[19:03] <L3top> t432 ignore that for now please and reboot
[19:03] <tking0038> nik90: idk how you changed the theme
[19:03] <L3top> t432: again, you have the most current driver available
[19:03] <BlouBlou> nik90: installed unity 2D from a tty, login, change that theme to the default one, and try to login with unity
[19:03] <tking0038> nik90: install openbox ... login to that
[19:03] <tking0038> or do that ^
[19:04] <nik90> BlouBlou: I tried logging into Unity2d since it is installed by default but I have the same issue..it freezes at login
[19:04] <BlouBlou> nik90: if it is a drivers problem, you'll be able to login by using unity 2D, so you'll be able to install/reinstall them again
[19:04] <BlouBlou> oh
[19:04] <tking0038> nik90: just use openbox sudo apt-get install openbox
[19:04] <nik90> tking0038: I will try installing openbox
[19:04] <nik90> thnx
[19:04] <nik90> tking0038, I will try it out and come back later
[19:04] <zykotick9> nik90: i doubt you'll be happy with openbox
[19:05] <tking0038> hes going to login fix it ... then hell be able to get back into unity
[19:05] <nik90> zykotick9: it is just to change my theme
[19:05] <zykotick9> isn't there a Unity reset command of some sort?  for nik90.
[19:06] <nik90> zykotick9: the thing is i can't even login into my unity session...I do not know how changing a gtk3 theme could do this
[19:06] <zykotick9> nik90: can you ctrl+alt+f1 to login?
[19:06] <nik90> zykotick9: yes, that works...and I did use it
[19:06] <zykotick9> nik90: fyi it's c+a+f7 to get back to gui
[19:07] <foum> the thing is can't even login into my session
[19:07] <zykotick9> nik90: i don't understand how installing openbox will allow you to change you Unity theme?
[19:07] <nik90> zykotick9: I dont think it is the unity theme which is messing up but rather the gtk3 theme for the windows
[19:08] <Cerrdor> tking0038 got it up and running fine now thanks so much
[19:08] <tking0038> Cerrdor: np
[19:08] <zykotick9> nik90: well, did you install the gtk3 themes as packages?
[19:08] <nik90> zykotick9, using openbox i will run Openbox and then try to get back to Ambiance theme which is default
[19:08] <nik90> zykotick9: yes I installed gtk-themes-standard package
[19:08] <zykotick9> !info gtk-themes-standard
[19:09] <ar> hi
[19:09] <tking0038> what does this !info thing you are all doing mean?
[19:09] <nik90> zykotick9, I meant gnome-themes-standard
[19:09] <BlouBlou> tking0038: it gives you information about a package
[19:09] <BlouBlou> !info firefox
[19:09] <zykotick9> tking0038: !info gets version information
[19:09] <nik90> !info gnome-themes-standard
[19:09] <ar> i need 32bit transmission-2.33 on ubuntu 12.04 (no, latest version won't do). what are my options?
[19:09] <tking0038> in irc?
[19:09] <BlouBlou> tking0038: yeah
[19:09] <tking0038> !info firefox
[19:10] <BlouBlou> tking0038: talk ubottu by private and try !info <package> :P
[19:10] <DogLover> I need help
[19:10] <ar> apt-build tries to rebuild 2.51. is there a way to specify version with apt-build?
[19:10] <DogLover> Why does my computer play audio out of both my built in speakers and the headphones at the same time?
[19:11] <mobilenoob11> Hi. What is the bet place to keep shell scripts on Ubuntu? Ex: ~/bin
[19:12] <tking0038> i just toss mine wherever
[19:12] <tking0038> you can do ~/.bash_aliases if you want
[19:12] <zykotick9> mobilenoob11: for a single user, ~/bin is the best place (it's automatically added to PATH if it exists)
[19:12] <mobilenoob11> Cool! I love you guys.
[19:13] <DogLover> Why does my computer play audio out of both my built in speakers and the headphones at the same time?
[19:14] <kyle__> Ug.  I installed all the fonts in apt, because I didn't want to be missing any of the good ones for math & web.  Are all the crappy kiddie fonts in the larabie packages?
[19:14] <Baribal> Hi. I just tried both fglrx and mesa. Both times glxinfo produces the same output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1005312/
[19:15] <L3top> Baribal: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[19:15] <Baribal> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Robson CE [AMD Radeon HD 6300 Series] [1002:68e4]
[19:17] <Baribal> BTW, I'd prefer the fglrx driver as I'd love to work with (hardware-supported) OpenCL.
[19:17] <tiny-T> hm
[19:17] <tiny-T> dose somebody recomand me an irc BNC?
[19:18] <L3top> I believe that is still supported... can you please update-pciids and run the lspci again
[19:18] <tiny-T> what should I install and learn how to configure, znc or sbnc?
[19:18] <tiny-T> are there others psy bnc for irc?
[19:18] <tiny-T> I have found only these two with aptitude and google
[19:19] <MonkeyDust> what's bnc?
[19:19] <Baribal> L3top, no change.
[19:19] <Baribal> MonkeyDust, bouncer.
[19:19] <WarOfTheNerd> How do I add H264 support to Firefox in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
[19:19] <Baribal> An iRC proxy.
[19:20] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust: usually in computer that would refer to Bayonet Neill*Concelman - but i have no idea what the OP means
[19:20] <L3top> yeah... you are going to need the 12-4 catalyst drivers. They dropped support for almost everything with 12-5. I am going to need to look closer at what is in the ubu repos
[19:20] <L3top> Baribal: ^
[19:20] <tiny-T> MonkeyDust: a bnc is like I leave my xchat running on the server, but I can connect back to it from my laptop from another location
[19:21] <tiny-T> now I have set up an home server and I wish to learn how to use a bnc, something from the official repros
[19:22] <DogLover> Why does my computer play audio out of both my built in speakers and the headphones at the same time?
[19:23] <nemo> DogLover: because you have one of the 100 or so intel sound card variations for which driver support may not be a perfect match?
[19:23] <Tunn3l> ^ I Agree
[19:23] <JessicaW> anyone heard of acronis backup?
[19:23] <DogLover> @nemo I don't know. Is there a way to fix that should that be it?
[19:24] <nemo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[19:24] <nemo> DogLover: try a different driver
[19:24] <nemo> DogLover: could try screwing around in pulseaudio or something, I'm just betting on driver 'cause if it is intel, that's usually the problem
[19:24] <nemo> checkout how long the list in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz is :(
[19:24] <Baribal> L3top, would that be fglrx-updates (Version: 2:8.960-0ubuntu1) and fglrx-amdccle-updates?
[19:24] <Baribal> 'Cause I installed them, rebooted, same result.
[19:25] <rensvind_> j #ubuntu-se
[19:25] <Baribal> Anybody know whether Windows users have such problems with their cards, too? :)
[19:26] <L3top> I can't say for sure... I am looking for 8.96.4... but... I am not sure how ubuntu handles its revision names... it might be.
[19:26] <VietNam> here who is not Vietnam
[19:26] <L3top> !info fglrx
[19:26] <nemo> Baribal: well. given the manufacturer tends to write a custom driver for windows, no
[19:26] <nemo> Baribal: microsoft basically does not have to worry about writing drivers
[19:26] <L3top> !ot | VietNam
[19:26] <MonkeyDust> Baribal  suggest the card's developpers to take linux in account, too
[19:27] <nemo> Baribal: this is both a blessing and a curse for them. On the one hand, they have the illusion of perfect compatibility always.  On the other hand, a linux thumb drive can boot up almost any computer. Try that w/ one of the portable windows builds. Good luck getting anywhere near that level of support
[19:27] <Boohbah> Baribal: it is in the manufacturer's best interest to support the most popular operating system

[19:29] <nemo> DogLover: yep.
[19:29] <nemo> DogLover: anyway. read the wiki entry
[19:31] <L3top> Baribal: I would try using the driver from ATI if you still have problems. You might try purging the xserver-xorg-video-radeon driver too... they are known to conflict, but usually in reverse.
[19:31] <Baribal> MonkeyDust, nemo, Boohbah, I think this is the first time I'll actually intentionally interact with a commercial entity on a social network. :D
[19:31]  * L3top gives Baribal thumbs up
[19:32] <Baribal> L3top, not quite, but you can +1 it. :D
[19:32] <mobilenoob11> When calling a shell script in ubuntu, is it nessecary to use the complete path? ex: ~/bin/scriptname.sh
[19:32] <farciarz84> I run sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq virtualbox-4.1 and it hungs, E: The package virtualbox-4.1 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[19:33] <nemo> mobilenoob11: only if ~/bin isn't in your PATH
[19:33] <L3top> Baribal: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_catalyst_legacy2&num=1
[19:33] <zykotick9> mobilenoob11: log out/back in and ~/bin will be in your PATH
[19:33] <nemo> mobilenoob11: oh, or if it is in sudoers in which case depending on the config you might have to do a full path expansion like /home/mobilenoob11/bin/scriptname.sh
[19:34] <farciarz84> how to remove a package from ubuntu?
[19:34] <tiny-T> can I install grafical interface on ubuntu server with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?
[19:34] <L3top> farciarz84: what version of ubuntu are you on?
[19:34] <farciarz84> Removing virtualbox-4.1 ... * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules
[19:34] <mobilenoob11> Why do I have to log out after changing my $PATH for it to be effective?
[19:34] <nemo> farciarz84: If you are new to ubuntu I'd just uninstall it from the Software Centre
[19:34] <farciarz84> 12.04
[19:34] <zykotick9> farciarz84: "sudo apt-get remove foo" or "sudo apt-get purge foo"
[19:34] <bittin> farciarz84: apt-get remove <package>
[19:34] <nemo> farciarz84: or synaptic package manager
[19:34] <farciarz84> I've tried the problem is that synaptics and everything else doesn't even start!
[19:34] <nemo> farciarz84: if you do use Ubuntu Software Centre, just click on the big icon for Installed
[19:35] <nemo> farciarz84: then you can browse to it or use the search, then click the Remove button
[19:35] <farciarz84> E: The package virtualbox-4.1 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[19:35] <farciarz84> E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
[19:35] <nemo> ah
[19:35] <tiny-T> what is better to use, apt-get or aptitude?
[19:35] <Baribal> Oh ####... So the problem isn't bad support, but discontinued support. And I'm stuck (for now) with a laptop that's not even a year old, but has lost GLX ability...
[19:35] <nemo> farciarz84: search for virtualbox in synaptic ?
[19:35] <nemo> farciarz84: my guess, is that you manually installed virtualbox
[19:36] <nemo> and didn't keep the package
[19:36] <farciarz84> as I said synaptic doesn't start error instead
[19:36] <gr33n7007h> tiny-T, Personal preference
[19:36] <L3top> Baribal: I do not believe your chipset is lost in this purge.
[19:36] <mobilenoob11> My $path says ~/bin, but I have to log/log out before its effective?
[19:36] <farciarz84> it starts show error and exit
[19:36] <nemo> farciarz84: synaptic not starting could mean you have something else running llike sofware centre or update manager
[19:36] <nemo> farciarz84: close those
[19:36] <zykotick9> mobilenoob11: if ~/bin didn't exist before you logged in - YES
[19:36] <nemo> mobilenoob11: $path or $PATH?
[19:36] <nemo> mobilenoob11: those are very different
[19:36] <L3top> farciarz84: what happens when you run sudo apt-get update        in a terminal
[19:37] <mobilenoob11> Guys, I'm soo sorry. Not trying to get off topic.
[19:37] <nemo> farciarz84: did you install virtualbox from synaptic or the virtualbox website?
[19:37] <tiny-T> I hope that X will gonna work in server version of ubuntu
[19:37] <farciarz84> nemo: website
[19:37] <trubbor> Anyone have any experience using Apple Magic Trackpad on Ubuntu? Everything works great for me - but would like to get the 2-finger page fwd/back working
[19:37] <farciarz84> L3top: look on that http://nopaste.info/32e99e23ab.html
[19:37] <nemo> farciarz84: ok. so, reinstall is not finding it in the list of repos
[19:37] <L3top> good call nemo
[19:37] <nemo> farciarz84: you just need to uninstall the package
[19:37] <nemo> then double click on the .deb again
[19:38] <farciarz84> nemo: have you seen my paste?
[19:38] <nemo> farciarz84: that's what I was commenting on, yes
[19:38] <zykotick9> nemo: if you install a DEB, then apt-get will remove it...
[19:38] <nemo> zykotick9: oh. good to know
[19:38] <tiny-T> dose someone from here use putty and "screen"?
[19:38] <nemo> zykotick9: I'm a bit new to ubuntu :)
[19:38] <farciarz84> waiting forever means that it hungs and not finished
[19:38] <nemo> zykotick9: I thought it might just say "already installed" then quit
[19:38] <nemo> farciarz84: 15:36 < nemo> farciarz84: synaptic not starting could mean you have something else running llike sofware centre or update manager
[19:38] <farciarz84> I'm waiting 1h and nothing is done
[19:38] <zykotick9> nemo: if you install a .bin or a .run or compile - apt-get will do nothing
[19:39] <nemo> farciarz84: as I said. make sure you have other stuff closed
[19:39] <JessicaW> tiny-T:  I use both constantly.
[19:39] <farciarz84> nemo: I'm sure
[19:39] <nemo> farciarz84: synaptic is probably waiting for you to close them
[19:39] <nemo> farciarz84: I doubt that :-p
[19:39] <farciarz84> nemo: no
[19:39] <nemo> hanging indefinitely is a common symptom of something else trying to use package management. admittedly not a *nice* way to do it...
[19:39] <L3top> farciarz84: how long is forever? and have you tried sudo dpkg --configure -a        or sudo apt-get -f install
[19:39] <nemo> zykotick9: virtualbox offers .debs on their website
[19:39] <Baribal> L3top, what's the [0300] at the beginning of the lspci output? If it's model number, it's affected.
[19:40] <nemo> zykotick9: which is probably why his error reports a package needing reinstall ;)
[19:40] <zykotick9> nemo: ya, so "sudo apt-get remove PROPERPACKAGENAME" would remove it.  i think i've ignored the OP, so I'm not seeing the issue ;)
[19:41] <L3top> It is not the model number Baribal... the PCI ID is the last number in the sets in your case 68e4
[19:41] <nemo> farciarz84: close synaptic. run what zykotick9 said
[19:41] <nemo> farciarz84: then reinstall virtualbox
[19:41] <tiny-T> JessicaW: when you open a putty session and then go into "screen" if you give a command like "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" and there are a lot of upgrades and meanwhile the connection get's disconnected, I assume that the system will gonna work (doing updates & upgrades), but how you go into that "screen" session opened which was disconnected?
[19:41] <nemo> farciarz84: I bet you'll get a lock error though :-p
[19:41] <nemo> tiny-T: screen -dr
[19:41] <farciarz84> L3top: tried everything you wrote still the same thing
[19:41] <tiny-T> thx! :D
[19:41] <farciarz84> nemo: you assumtions are wrong
[19:42] <zykotick9> nemo: what is someone who knows screen doing using ubuntu ;)
[19:42] <JessicaW> tiny-T: and if that doesn't work try screen -raAdx
[19:42] <nemo> zykotick9: half my machines are ubuntu, half are gentoo. I like ubuntu for the massive community which means good testing of various hardware, and very simple installs.
[19:43] <nemo> zykotick9: gentoo for configurability/hackability
[19:43] <tking0038> how does gentoo manage packages?
[19:43] <farciarz84> http://nopaste.info/4a66829c9d.html
[19:43] <nemo> zykotick9: btw, I switched to tmux recently 'cause I'm sick of only BMP unicode support
[19:43] <zykotick9> nemo: :)  i left gentoo for ubuntu, and left ubuntu for debian
[19:43] <farciarz84> L3top: http://nopaste.info/4a66829c9d.html
[19:43] <L3top> Baribal: the major chipsets that were dropped were, the R?5xx|6xx|7xx|8xx  the hd 2-4xxx, the Xpress series... and a few others. Its a boatload of cards
[19:43] <nemo> zykotick9: I wrote a small digraph script for tmux to replace the missing support in screen
[19:43] <tking0038> im on debian now
[19:43] <nemo> er. the missing tmux support for the screen function
[19:43] <Baribal> Ah, thanks.
[19:43] <JessicaW> ubuntu has the easiest no hassle installs for desktop IMO.
[19:44] <nemo> zykotick9: if you ever switch I can share :)
[19:44] <nemo> JessicaW: yep. also nice for getting a VM quickly up and running
[19:44] <zykotick9> nemo: i've not played with tmux - i'm very happy with screen
[19:44] <L3top> ok farciarz84 I would reboot into recovery mode (before the virtualbox modules can load) and remove them from command line
[19:44] <JessicaW> nemo: which I do CONSTANTLY. :D
[19:44] <tking0038> there are lots that have that though ... fedora .. centos ... debian if you do the whole cd..
[19:44] <ratcheer> tking0038: Gentoo has several ways to manage packages. Source or binary, and various tools to do it.
[19:44] <JessicaW> screen is awesome
[19:44] <nemo> JessicaW: I also like the nice flash drive wizard
[19:45] <Wizard> Flash what?!
[19:45] <farciarz84> L3top: ok I'm trying....
[19:45] <JessicaW> nemo: it's especially handy. I don't have to carry around a cd anymore.
[19:45] <nemo> JessicaW: given how much of a pain setting those up used to be in the past. and. unionfs, seamless customisation/updates
[19:46] <JessicaW> nemo: I switched from RH to fedora to gentoo to ubuntu. I think I just got lazier and lazier.
[19:46] <JessicaW> nemo: and that wizard is one of the reasons why!
[19:46]  * Wizard honoured, JessicaW!
[19:47] <tking0038> not really lazy... why do something on redhat when you can do something on ubuntu in 1/2 the time
[19:50] <guntbert> !ot | tking0038 zykotick9
[19:50] <nemo> JessicaW: ☺
[19:55] <tiny-T> can I install only the man pages and info for a program, but not the program and dependecy?
[19:56] <krababbel> tiny-T: you could download the package from the package website and unpack it
[19:56] <tiny-T> k
[19:57] <L3top> tiny-T: what errors are you getting, before you go trying to compile something
[19:57] <MustaKotka> I know this is not the right place for it... But could someone help me to get my (Oracle)  VirtualBox to connect to Internet?
[19:57] <L3top> tiny-T: what is the program?
[19:57] <tiny-T> I only wanted to read the man page of the znc before installing it
[19:57] <zykotick9> MustaKotka: you might consider asking in #vbox
[19:58] <krababbel> tiny-T: some programs have a seperate -doc package too
[19:58] <Wizard> tiny-T: google fot man znc ;)
[19:58] <MustaKotka> zykotick9, been rather silent over there. :/
[19:58] <L3top> MustaKotka: not really but in settings/networking you typically want NAT and... I can't remember the nic everyone says to emulate... the default always works for me... but others have different experience.
[19:59] <JamesL__> hello?
[20:00] <Wizard> Shhh!
[20:00] <Tunn3l> hi!
[20:00] <Tunn3l> brb
[20:00] <Tunn3l> shower
[20:00] <Tunn3l> bath*
[20:00] <FloodBot1> Tunn3l: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:00] <Bronze> at last!
[20:00] <Bronze> (for the shower.)
[20:00] <Tunn3l> xd
[20:00] <JamesL__> I'm looking for a little help resolving a boot issue on a MBP that had been successfully running ubuntu 12.04.
[20:01] <L3top> !ot | Bronze Tunn3l
[20:01] <L3top> What happened, and what does it do now JamesL__?
[20:01]  * Bronze tosses l3top a quarter. thanks for the tip
[20:02] <JamesL__> I can boot to live USB and I can boot to OS X, but when I try to boot to my linux partition, I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor at the top.
[20:02] <Baribal> Oh great, I just typed a few pages of comment into AMDs Google+ page, clicked Post Comment... Interesting. I'm not allowed to comment on that post. And all myy text is gone.
[20:03] <Wizard> !ot > Baribal
[20:03] <JamesL__> anybody?
[20:04] <L3top> What happened that changed JamesL__? You said it had been working and then just... didn't?
[20:04] <L3top> JamesL__: did you upgrade, install proprietary drivers... anything like that?
[20:04] <JamesL__> seems like it. The last thing I remember doing was adding an NTFS partition where I could share my VMs between OS X and Ubuntu.
[20:05] <roasted> Question - does anybody know how to get network cameras working with the "Motion" package on Ubuntu?
[20:06] <JamesL__> but I tested it out afterwards in both OSes with 2 VMs, and it seemed to work ok.
[20:07] <piihb> sirriffsalot: Can you help me again? :)
[20:07] <L3top> JamesL__: I would not expect they are related.
[20:08] <hasanakgoz> piihb: What is problem ?
[20:08] <kemuffkamelen> Hi
[20:08] <hasanakgoz> kemuffkamelen : Hi
[20:08] <piihb> sirriffsalot: I got both my keyboard and trackpad to work, so thank you :) But, I want to make the trackpad permanent. How do I find etc/ files?
[20:08] <JamesL__> Is there something I could check/test to get it fixed booting from a live USB?
[20:09] <L3top> JamesL__: did you do anything with your wireless driver? What version MBP is this?
[20:09] <L3top> That thing causes a lot of headaches
[20:09] <sirriffsalot> piihb: talk to me in private chat:)
[20:09] <kemuffkamelen> how soon can i expect EDE 2.0 to be packaged for ubuntu? If at all, looking at amiwm as a reference it is hard to not dispair, as the "latest" in ubuntu repos is from 1998 and latest release is 2010-2011
[20:10] <JamesL__> 13-inch, 2011. I'll get the official version number in one sec.
[20:10] <L3top> JamesL__: you could probably boot to your non working desktop and ctrl + alt + f2.
[20:10] <JamesL__> it's 8.1
[20:10] <L3top> yeah... were you trying to get the wireless going JamesL__?
[20:11] <JamesL__> I'll try ctrl+alt+2.
[20:12] <khmerog> hi anyone know the system req. for kubuntu?
[20:12] <kemuffkamelen> khmerog: with or without plasma?
[20:12] <kemuffkamelen> with plasma 1,5ghz 512mb ram
[20:13] <zykotick9> !requirements | khmerog higher then ubuntu...
[20:13] <kemuffkamelen> without 800mhz and 256mb ram
[20:13] <JamesL__> no response to ctrl+alt+f2. It's completely unresponsive basides the blinking cursor. Tried holding down the shift key earlier--no use.
[20:13] <kemuffkamelen> khmerog: and if you want 3d effects you nede a supported 3d card
[20:14] <JamesL__> Is there anything I can look for in the logs?
[20:14] <khmerog> with plasma
[20:15] <kemuffkamelen> 1,5 (perferably not willamette core) and 512 then
[20:15] <khmerog> plasma is the GUI correct? and i thought ubuntu was more graphically intense than kubuntu
[20:15] <Hetep> Hola, just the necessity to reference an error & appearing continuous Internet Service Provider problems and kinda ask the community take note & help resolve the situation
[20:15] <kemuffkamelen> khmerog: kde is much more than the desktop
[20:15] <kemuffkamelen> plasma is the desktop
[20:15] <zykotick9> khmerog: maybe.  but kde uses A LOT of memory.
[20:15] <khmerog> oic
[20:16] <kemuffkamelen> QT apps generally use little memory
[20:16] <Hetep> am rather the appreciative any helpful suggestions contextually
[20:16] <kemuffkamelen> Hetep: what error?
[20:17] <Hetep> well, there was not the capability to copy & paste, & sent an error report
[20:17] <Hetep> gracias kemuffkamel
[20:18] <luis_> hola!
[20:18] <khmerog> so when i download Kubuntu (CD version) does it come with plasma and w/o plasma? or are they 2 seperate downloads
[20:18] <kemuffkamelen> je ne parlais epañol sadly
[20:18] <sk1special> so..anyone want to help me install my xbox 360 kinect here
[20:19] <kemuffkamelen> khmerog: it comes with plasma, but it is easily replaceeable with any other desktop you like.
[20:19] <kemuffkamelen> khmerog: if you need something small and fast to go with kde i might suggest xfdesktop
[20:19] <kemuffkamelen> or razor-desktop
[20:20] <kemuffkamelen> razor is a PPA instal though an not in repos i think
[20:20] <kemuffkamelen> but then it is all qt from there
[20:20] <fasta> !razor
[20:20] <kemuffkamelen> fasta try razor-qt
[20:21] <JamesL__> I'm just looking for some troubleshooting advice. Things to check when Ubuntu won't boot and gives me an unresponsive black screen/blinking cursor. Are there any logs to check?
[20:21] <khmerog> !razor
[20:21] <kemuffkamelen> does grub boot?
[20:21] <JamesL__> nope
[20:21] <JamesL__> I don't get that text menu that allows me to pick an OS.
[20:21] <kemuffkamelen> not even gives you the boot menu?
[20:21] <khmerog> thank you kemuffkamelen for all your advice..i will go do some researching
[20:21] <luis_> try with a live cd...
[20:22] <kemuffkamelen> JamesJRH: did the install complete?
[20:22] <kemuffkamelen> oops, JamesL__
[20:22] <kemuffkamelen> i ment
[20:22] <kemuffkamelen> too darn many with similar nicks in here, name completion works poorly =D
[20:22] <JamesL__> no menu. When I boot, I see the reffit menu to choose a partition, but when I choose the Ubuntu partition, I just get that blank screen. It had been running just last week.
[20:23] <sirriffsalot> No matter what chat client I try to use to login to a jabber account I need to type in a keyring password of some kind... and I've never set one...:S what's going on?!
[20:23] <JamesL__> I can still boot off the live USB and I can boot into OS X without issue.
[20:23] <sandyd> sirriffsalot: use the password you use to login
[20:23] <sirriffsalot> I did, no dice:(
[20:24] <kemuffkamelen> JamesL__: Is it an real mac or an hackintosh?
[20:24] <L3top> JamesL__: can you boot to OSX from the grub menu?
[20:24] <JamesL__> mbp 8.1
[20:24] <sk1special> JamesL_: not that i know if it will help at all...but theres a auto boot load fixer thing ..
[20:25] <kemuffkamelen> L3top: he does not get to the grub menu as the EFI is not configured correctly
[20:25] <JamesL__> I get to OS X from the reffit screen. Not from grub.
[20:25] <sk1special> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[20:27] <JamesL__> sk1special, I'll look in to that.
[20:28] <sk1special> JamesL_: yeah no prob.. fixed my issues. but i could see the grub. so *shrug*
[20:29] <JamesL__> OK. I'd like to find the fix that doesn't involve a complete re-install.
[20:29] <JamesL__> maybe something changed in the mbr?
[20:29] <tonyyarusso> Hi, there seems to be something odd about apt for me.  Take a look at http://pastebin.com/28mWXyEc - the version from precise-security has a higher priority, but it's installing the version from precise-updates instead.  What gives?
[20:30] <daniel110> hey i install ubuntu 12.04 on a vb with windows host. My laptop supports 1920x1080 resolution but when i increase the resolution in ubuntu from 14:3 to 16:9 ubuntu runs much slower, i can barely use it. Is there anyway to fix it this proble?
[20:30]  * sentriz is away: I'm busy, DEAL WITH IT.
[20:30] <L3top> kemuffkamelen: he had a working install up till about a week ago... would sshing into the drive from live boot and grub-install update-grub work do you think?
[20:30] <tonyyarusso> !away > sentriz
[20:31] <Pa^2> !away > Pa^2
[20:31] <tonyyarusso> L3top: uh, you can't ssh into a drive.  You can ssh into a system, and mount a drive.
[20:32] <L3top> uh... you can mount a drive and ssh into it.
[20:32] <sk1special> JamesL_ : if thats the issue that thing will fix it for you.. that was my issue ( got corrupted doing a win 8 install ) and fixed that and fixed not being able to login to other hdd thru grub for me
[20:32] <L3top> partition usually if we are getting nitpicky
[20:33] <daniel110> anyone?
[20:33] <tonyyarusso> L3top: But why would you if you already have a local console from the Live CD you just booted?  Why add an extra machine into the mix?
[20:34] <JamesL__> are there instructions for doing the grub-install update-grub steps from a liveUSB somewhere?
[20:34] <JamesL__> I don't know how to do it so that the update happens on the non-booting system.
[20:34] <tonyyarusso> !grub | JamesL__
[20:35] <L3top> tonyyarusso: that is a fair enough question... because the drive we want to install and update is the system, and this prevents a common mistake of putting grub on the usb. You are free to give other advice if you like... but unless you can explain why mine is a problem... do that.
[20:35] <wilee-nilee> james
[20:36] <JamesL__> yes?
[20:36] <L3top> daniel110: that is a byproduct of running in a virtual machine. You would need more resources to run faster.
[20:36] <wilee-nilee> JamesL__, here is link for a chroot. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#ChRoot
[20:37] <daniel110> L3top: What can i do? add more video memory? i am using virtual box
[20:37] <lubuntu_op> anyone can help me with smplayer error? http://pastebin.com/BKhXZNzV
[20:37] <lubuntu_op> vlc plays that file
[20:38] <wilee-nilee> !bootinfo | JamesL__ If you have more problems pastebin this script.
[20:38] <L3top> yes... add more memory, more cpu... it is a virtual machine... it isn't using your graphics card, it is emulating one daniel110
[20:38] <splnet> Hi I just installed a new kernel. How do I get the nvidia drivers to re-install on the new kernel?
[20:39] <daniel110> L3top: k thanks i'll try right now
[20:39] <JamesL__> ok. I'll try the instructions from those links and keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for the advice.
[20:40] <L3top> daniel110: if you are increasing the amount you are adding to the VM, hold off on adding another CPU (if avail)... sometimes that doesn't play nicely and you can actually get worse results.
[20:41] <chupacapra> hello
[20:41] <chupacapra> !list
[20:41] <daniel110> L3top: i am using a quad core processor and i the vm is currently using 2 of them, should i add more?
[20:43] <L3top> daniel110: I would compare the results of one cpu and two (unchecking the hardware virtualization checkbox for 1)
[20:43] <daniel110> L3top: k
[20:43] <kemuffkamelen> L3top: if you can SSH to it, it is most certainly an X problem. Try using a live cd to update grub with "nomodeset" option
[20:44] <lewellyn> so... does anyone know of a bug that covers the fact that nm-applet keeps telling you that your network connection is still disconnected? it should, imo, only appear if the state has changed. also, it would greatly mitigate https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/445872 for me
[20:44] <taime> hi, if i install 32 bit with more than 3gb ram, will ubuntu automatically install PAE kernel?
[20:44] <kemuffkamelen> taime: it should, if your chip supports it
[20:44] <lubuntu_op> any reasons why there isnt any xorg conf in lubuntu12.04 ? (ATi x1050 AGP RV 350)
[20:44] <Tunn3l> 32 bit could only handle 3.2gb
[20:44] <kemuffkamelen> lubuntu_op: Autoconfig
[20:44] <lewellyn> lubuntu_op: because xorg started autoconfiguring some time ago, upstream
[20:44] <Tunn3l> taime ^
[20:45] <gdoteof> i am running virtualbox on 11.10; trying to get xp to read an ipod touch 4.  but it doesn't show up.  so i am trying to install the oracle extension pack; but the only versions i can find aren't compatible with the virtual box that has come with 11.10
[20:45] <lewellyn> taime: it gave me an smp kernel. haven't checked to see if it does pae. let's find out!
[20:45] <L3top> kemuffkamelen: I do not understand your reasoning... if grub is hosed, why would you not be able to ssh to it from live?
[20:45] <nilsma> how do i uninstall nvidia drivers from recovery mode?
[20:45] <amh345> does ubuntu server default install a mailserver?
[20:45] <lubuntu_op> so xorg isnt reason my flash seems so sluggish and slow?
[20:45] <kemuffkamelen> lubuntu_op: If you do an aticonfig or change via amdccle it will write one though.
[20:45] <taime> i use a pentium d dual core
[20:45] <gdoteof> i am not actually sure if i need the oracle extension pack
[20:45] <amh345> i need to send out simple messages from the local server to one of my gmail acconts
[20:45] <gdoteof> when i try and install the wrong version it locks up my machine
[20:46] <kemuffkamelen> L3top: oh from a live cd... sorry.
[20:46] <lewellyn> taime: it looks to not be pae :/
[20:46] <taime> kemuffkamelen: how can i tell whether it will be installing the PAE?
[20:46] <nilsma> how do i uninstall nvidia drivers from recovery mode?
[20:46] <lewellyn> taime: it shows 3gb ram total :/
[20:46] <taime> lewellyn: hmm
[20:46] <kemuffkamelen> taime: It is not hard to install a pae kernel afterwards anyways if it is not installed by default.
[20:47] <taime> that was my next question kemuffkamelen
[20:47] <lewellyn> taime: i also have an E5400 :)
[20:47] <taime> cool. well then i'll get to it
[20:47] <taime> thanks gents
[20:47] <wilee-nilee> gdoteof, have you added the host to the vbox users?
[20:48] <L3top> nilsma: sudo apt-get remove nvidia* will certainly remove them.
[20:48] <kemuffkamelen> L3top: No it wont, you should always use purge on drivers
[20:49] <nilsma> L3top: i get an error message "W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/"
[20:49] <piihb> I need help accessing programs from the Windows partition of my computer to the Ubuntu partition.
[20:49] <L3top> nilsma: either you have synaptic open or something else installing/uninstalling or you did not use sudo
[20:50] <piihb> I need help accessing programs from the Windows partition of my computer from the Ubuntu partition.*
[20:50] <kemuffkamelen> piihb: either you mount manually or you can use ntfs-config
[20:50] <nilsma> L3top: I did use sudo, besides im logged in as root, and no theres not anything else updating that i know of; I booted to recovery mode, logged in and issued the cmd
[20:51] <L3top> kemuffkamelen: is correct nilsma, you should purge proprietary drivers, so ammend that to sudo apt-get remove purge nvidia*
[20:51] <zykotick9> L3top: i believe nilsma's error is saying - read only file system, or file
[20:51] <piihb> kemuffkamelen: Can you elaborate? I'm new to Ubuntu and am not the biggest computer wizz.
[20:51] <L3top> ah... sorry...
[20:51]  * L3top isn't doing so well today.
[20:52] <schultza> L3top: why do you say that?
[20:52] <kemuffkamelen> manually looks like this "mkdir /media/mounted0"&"mount -t ntfs /dev/disk/by-label/yourlabelhere /media/mounted0/"
[20:52] <nilsma> L3top: I cannot write/move any files, it says it a "Read-only file system"
[20:52] <gdoteof> wilee-nilee: i am almost certain i haven't done that unless it has happened automagically
[20:53] <lubuntu_op> Any chance someone knows why Smplayer is acting weird on me ? http://pastebin.com/BKhXZNzV
[20:53] <L3top> correct... that was what zykotick9 was saying... I would touch /forcefsck && reboot    nilsma
[20:53] <wilee-nilee> gdoteof, you have to to get usb reads, not sure the extension does it really well.
[20:53] <piihb> kemuffkamelen: My media folder is completely empty - no hidden files either. Will that affect the command you gave me?
[20:54] <nilsma> L3top: I can't touch it cause its a "Read-only file system"
[20:54] <kemuffkamelen> piihb: yes it will create a folder in /media
[20:54] <L3top> nilsma: shutdown -h now  perhaps then
[20:54] <zykotick9> nilsma: if you are in recovery, you probably need to remount stuff rw
[20:54] <kemuffkamelen> piihb: that folder will contain your ntfs drive
[20:54] <wilee-nilee> gdoteof, 2nd post. https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=49529
[20:54] <L3top> nilsma: listen to zykotick9... I clearly need a nap
[20:55] <gdoteof> wilee-nilee: thanks reading
[20:55] <vitalya> In rdp session mouse cursor should like in windows, but in remmina 1.0 (ubuntu 12.04) it use default ubuntu mouse cursor everywhere. Who is fix it?
[20:55] <kemuffkamelen> piihb: and obviously you should replace "yourlabelhere" with the proper one.
[20:55] <wilee-nilee> Don't miss the restart of the desktop of the host.  gdoteof
[20:55] <piihb> kemuffkamelen: Okay, so is there something specific that my label needs to be?
[20:55] <nilsma> L3top: ty
[20:55] <piihb> kemuffkamelen: Or am I naming it whatever I want it to be
[20:55] <nilsma> zykotick9: ill have to google that :)
[20:55] <whiskers75> How do I make-kpkg for a 32bit machine on a 64bit?
[20:56] <RocketScience> I need to create a file in etc/udev/rules.d but i need to do it as root user. What's the easiest way to do this? I k, its a noob question
[20:56] <zykotick9> nilsma: try "mount -a" for starters (not sure that will work, but it would be easy)
[20:56] <kemuffkamelen> piihb: the foldername in /media can be called anything, but the label is the exact same that you have in the folder /dev/disk/by-label/
[20:56] <gdoteof> wilee-nilee: k trying
[20:56] <nilsma> zykotick9: "mount -a" worked, but still can't touch anything
[20:56] <zykotick9> nilsma: verify with "mount" - / should be (rw,...)
[20:57] <whiskers75> RocketScience: sudo nano /etc/rules.d/<file>
[20:57] <piihb> kemuffkamelen: There are three files in that folder: DellUtility, OS, and RECOVERY. Thoughts? :x
[20:57] <nilsma> mount -o remount,rw / did the trick, done touching, doing reboot

[20:58] <wifioregon> hi, I'm using gnome classic on 12.04 desktop. How do I safely install xfce? I had problems in the past where it screwed everything up when I installed xfce
[20:58] <whiskers75> !kernel
[20:58] <kemuffkamelen> piihb: Dell* and recovery is made by manufacturer for fast recovery, you do not need to mount that. Mount OS
[20:58] <wifioregon> also besides gnome, unity, kde, and xfce, what are the other good windows managers?  I heard there is a 3d kde?
[20:58] <nilsma> zykotick9: mount -o remount,rw / did the trick, done touching, doing reboot
[20:59] <whiskers75> wifioregon: compiz?
[20:59] <kemuffkamelen> wifioregon: "sudo aptitude install xfce4"
[20:59] <zykotick9> nilsma: so try your install/uninstall now
[20:59] <whiskers75> kemuffkamelen: er... when I did that it screwed my login screen
[20:59] <zykotick9> nilsma: sorry, i've picked up your issue part way through - not really sure what you are doing
[21:00] <kemuffkamelen> xfce4 package does not touch GDM
[21:00] <piihb> kemuffkamelen: mkdir: invalid option -- 't' Try `mkdir --help' for more information.
[21:00] <kemuffkamelen> piihb: "sudo mkdir /media/mount0" try that
[21:00] <nilsma> zykotick9: no worries, its doing the forcefsck now, i jumped the gun a wee bit, if it halts again ill just try the recovery mode and uninstall after remounting /
[21:01] <nilsma> zykotick9: ty btw :)
[21:01] <zykotick9> nilsma: glad to help
[21:01] <piihb> kemuffkamelen: Same thing, but this time it asked for my password lol.
[21:01] <joe42> hey can anybody help me copy a picture to usr/share/backgrounds my home folder is encrypted and it wouldnt just let me copy stuff into it
[21:01] <wifioregon> whiskers75:  I've been having problems with windows games through wine that used to work great in 10.04...now are so buggy I cant even play...someone was saying its related to Compiz...I thought Compiz was something that was running under unity and gnome/..no?
[21:02] <wifioregon> kemuffkamelen: Thanks I'll try that
[21:02] <kemuffkamelen> piihb: do a mkdir ~/mountedstuff then =P
[21:02] <kemuffkamelen> it will work
[21:02] <schultza> !compiz
[21:02] <wifioregon> kemuffkamelen: and that will still let me keep gnome so I can switch back and forth?
[21:02] <schultza> its a window manager .. .see ^^
[21:02] <whiskers75> wifioregon: i think so.... ah there...
[21:02] <kemuffkamelen> wifioregon: yes
[21:02] <whiskers75> !compiz
[21:03] <kemuffkamelen> 100%
[21:03] <wifioregon> okay thanks
[21:03] <whiskers75> bump

[21:04] <schultza> whiskers75 huh?
[21:04] <wifioregon> I'm checking that site out and getting more confused...is compiz part of gnome, unity, kde, xfce?
[21:04] <whiskers75> whoops typi
[21:04] <whiskers75> typo
[21:04] <kemuffkamelen> schultza: Xfce is more than an WM, It is a full DE
[21:04] <schultza> wifioregon it is its own windows manager
[21:04] <wifioregon> schultza:  oh okay sorry
[21:04] <piihb> kemuffkamelen: So.... sudo mkdir ~/mountedstuff /media/mounted0"&"mount -t ntfs /dev/disk/by-label/OS /media/mounted0/
[21:04] <kemuffkamelen> schultza: xfwm is a window manager
[21:05] <schultza> kemuffkamelen, sorry, was talking about compiz
[21:05] <kemuffkamelen> piihb: no
[21:05] <smw> wifioregon, compiz is a window manager. Unity uses compiz as its window manager
[21:05] <kemuffkamelen> if you want to use that.... you have to change that line
[21:05] <L3top> and unity is compiz wifioregon
[21:05] <kemuffkamelen> try it on different lines.
[21:05] <wifioregon> smw: OHH it makes sense now!
[21:06] <L3top> smw is more accurate than I wifioregon
[21:06] <wifioregon> ooh...well personally I hate unity...I really like gnome classic and xfce
[21:06] <schultza> L3top .. then im missing some compiz features.. :)
[21:06] <wifioregon> I wanted to try the 3d desktop though..how do I do that?
[21:06] <wifioregon> sorry for such newb questions
[21:06] <L3top> schultza: it has them, but some will break unity, like the cube
[21:06] <schultza> speaking of the devil.. Ie: features i mentioned
[21:06] <piihb> kemuffkamelen: I iz cornfuized :(
[21:07] <schultza> how will cube break unity?
[21:07] <vitalya> someone uses a program remmina ver. 1.0? has a problem with the cursor?
[21:07] <wifioregon> how do you activate cube? I still have unity installed
[21:07] <L3top> schultza: you can open the compiz manager just like non unity releases.
[21:07] <schultza> wifioregon: L3top just stated that it breaks unity.. Im asking him why
[21:07] <sk1special> i have the compiz cube on.. and a bunch of other features and its been working fine.
[21:08] <schultza> sk1special: thanks
[21:08] <sk1special> of course the first time in installed it it killed ubuntu..but thats cause i didnt have my video card driver installed correctly
[21:08] <c0deMaster> how to mute microphone from command line?
[21:08] <schultza> i guess i need to install the compiz manager...
[21:08] <NewWorld> c0deMaster:  maybe amixer
[21:08] <schultza> what package is that?
[21:08] <L3top> schultza: I expect it has something to do with the QT interface not being able to be manipulated by compiz the way it was designed to with the cube, but I am speculating
[21:09] <schultza> L3top: are you sure it has nothing to do with how unity has default virtual desktops setup... instead of 4 wide.. its 2x2?
[21:09] <L3top> c0deMaster: NewWorld alsamixer is easier... amixer requires arguments
[21:10] <NewWorld> L3top:  c0deMaster: Oh I thought he wanted to script it or something
[21:10] <L3top> schultza: you didn't have to have 4 DT to enable cube.
[21:10] <sk1special> schultza: if you do decide to install and do decide to turn on the cube .. when you go to rotate it it will be flat instead more of a flip. then youll have to adjust that to make ti a cube
[21:10] <schultza> oh yeah.. duh
[21:10]  * schultza slaps self.
[21:10] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> Can someone help me i have upgradet to the last version of ubuntu and it removed apt-get and i have now only text based system i have dpkg can i use it to install apt-get or running something to install all messing package the base I mean
[21:11] <schultza> forgot that part
[21:11] <ikonia> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: ubuntu upgrades don't remove apt-get, what rally happened
[21:11] <L3top> NewWorld: you are probably correct... c0deMaster if you are trying to script something, you will need to get and parse the output of amixer settings... I can give you an example if you like.
[21:11] <c0deMaster> NewWorld, yeah I want to script it,  L3top please give me that example
[21:12] <NewWorld> L3top:  c0deMaster: I don't think you need to parse anything, just give it the right arguments
[21:12] <kemuffkamelen> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: Do you have aptitude?
[21:12] <kemuffkamelen> ikonia: he removed it, does not matter... lets work to fix it
[21:12] <L3top> NewWorld: if it is only ever going to be on a specific piece of hardware, no... otherwise you need to get the name/assignment
[21:12] <schultza> btw, for those that had my question. I found a package in the repos that will change my background wallpaper automatically... (wallch).. but it will not do different wallpaper per virtual desktop
[21:12] <ikonia> kemuffkamelen: yes, it does matter, as knowning what happened leads to the solution
[21:12] <schultza> at least to my knowledge
[21:13] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> It did not upgrade all packages so it removed the old ones please help me to install apt-get packages
[21:14] <lubuntu_op> So lubuntu (PCManFM) and Truecrypt issue. Any chance I can mount and open TC container without manually searhing on /media?
[21:14] <vitalya> test
[21:14] <ikonia> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: did the upgrade fail ? did you cancel it ?
[21:14] <L3top> c0deMaster: amixall=$(amixer | grep "Simple" | cut -d' ' -f4,5,6 | sort | uniq); for output in $amixall; do amixer sset $output unmute; amixer sset $output 80%; done 2>/dev/null; alsactl store         that grabs everything and unmutes, and sets levels to 80%... you could just grep -i mic and mute, and drop the volume part
[21:15] <luke_66> hi everyone
[21:15] <lubuntu_op> Hello
[21:15] <vitalya> hi
[21:15] <sk1special> anyone want to help me do this? :] https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect#readme i dont even know where to begin lol
[21:16] <schultza> begin by reading
[21:16] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> It did install new version but it removed some also what can I do now
[21:16] <Escherial> hey, does anyone happen to know if the issues with rt3040 wireless adapters still exist in 12.xx? i'd attempted installing 12.04 before, but had to revert back to 11.10 due to not being able to connect to secure networks of any type (WEP, WPA, etc.)
[21:16] <luke_66> i have a problem after an update. which log i could check? i'm in /var/log/upstart, error seems to be related to ConsoleKit, but i'm checking also /var/log/upstart/module-init-tools.log and i've found 'FATAL: Module rtc not found.'. what i can do? i'm using kubuntu 12.04, kdm start succesfully but i have no login prompt...
[21:16] <ikonia> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: what happened, can you please explain
[21:16] <Escherial> i'm using the rt2800pci driver on 11.10, fwiw
[21:16] <ikonia> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: did you try to do a full system upgrade ? did it fail ? did you cancel it ? did YOU just try to update certain packages ? etc etc
[21:17] <sk1special> schultza: thank you, that helped :p
[21:17] <schultza> luke_66: what is the problem first? And have you checked dmesg | less ?
[21:18] <schultza> module rtc.. hmm
[21:18] <c0deMaster> L3top, thanks look great script :)
[21:19] <luke_66> schultza, checking now. it seems there's no error (last line: no ipv6 routers present)
[21:20] <schultza> id say your not on a ipv6 network, but at the moment.. that's normal.. unless you are trying to get ipv6 working
[21:21] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> When the system reboot it ask if I want to continue the upgrades so said yes after I while it stopped and said some package have been removed
[21:21] <ikonia> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: so you did not try to do a system upgrade ?
[21:21] <ikonia> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: you where just offered updated after a reboot ?
[21:21] <luke_66> i've also tried to start kdm by #start kdm (after stopping it). just for have more info...
[21:22] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> Yes and I said yes I want to continue
[21:22] <ikonia> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: ok, so there is no way apt-get should have been removed in that process
[21:23] <luke_66> any other way to detect erro?
[21:23] <schultza> luke_66: try a modprobe rtc
[21:24] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> It has I do not now how so I am using my andro
[21:24]  * L3top hesitates to tell IBMLENOVOTHINKPA to apt-cache policy apt   cause its funny
[21:24] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> My phone to chat
[21:24] <luke_66> schultza, from any folder? tried from root but i got FATAL: Module rtc not found
[21:24] <kemuffkamelen> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: tried dpkg --configure -a ?
[21:24] <ikonia> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: does your machine not connect to the internet ?
[21:25] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> Ye
[21:25] <ikonia> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: is it possible you can chat from your machine so we can get some information off your machine ?
[21:25] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> Yes I have internet connection
[21:25] <schultza> luke_66: i believe that is why you got that error in upstart in the first place. Unfortunately, I'm looking it up and I still don't know what is going on with upstart and rtc.
[21:26] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> I do not now how it is only text based
[21:26] <luke_66> schultza, ...it means --> have to reinstall from scratch? :-(
[21:27] <L3top> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: you could use pastebinit... but does dpkg-query -l "apt"       start with ii or un?
[21:28] <c0deMaster> L3top, I'm greping for 'capture' and muting but i get this error "amixer: Invalid command!
[21:28] <c0deMaster> amixer: Unable to find simple control '4',0"
[21:28] <L3top> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA and does: ls /var/cache/apt/archives/apt_*            return a result?
[21:28] <c0deMaster> L3top, many errors like that for all listed devices
[21:29] <L3top> c0deMaster: just type amixer... does it return a result?
[21:29] <c0deMaster> yes
[21:29] <c0deMaster> yes L3top
[21:29] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> I did not understand the question I am not I text based user so can you please explain how
[21:30] <L3top> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: the same way you entered dpkg --configure -a      in a terminal, is how you enter the commands I am giving you.
[21:31] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> The last one or the first
[21:32] <L3top> c0deMaster: amixall=$(amixer | grep "Simple" | grep -i "mic" | cut -d' ' -f4,5,6 | sort | uniq); for output in $amixall; do amixer sset $output mute; done 2>/dev/null; alsactl store
[21:32] <L3top> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: either
[21:32] <Tunn3l> l3dx, pro
[21:32] <Tunn3l> L3top, pro
[21:33] <L3top> c0deMaster: to write to save state in alsactl it will have to be executed as sudo/root
[21:34] <c0deMaster> L3top, http://pastebin.com/snUL7j9J
[21:34] <L3top> this is really more appropriate for #bash c0deMaster
[21:37] <L3top> c0deMaster: open alsamixer and see if those three inputs have the ability to be muted
[21:37] <Guest31759> It is un apt what does it mean
[21:40] <L3top> Guest31759: that means it is not installed
[21:40] <c0deMaster> L3top, there isn't mute option at all even for playback devices
[21:41] <L3top> Guest31759: please ls /var/cache/apt/archives/apt_*
[21:42] <L3top> c0deMaster: either something is very wrong or you do not realize that the box at the bottom of each mixer control (if it exists) is the mute indicator. arrow over to one and press the 'm' key and see if it changes
[21:42] <L3top> Guest31759: does that return a reply?
[21:43] <deadbeef> HOW DO I CHECK BATTERY FROM CONSOLE
[21:43] <deadbeef> or how do i start a battery monitor from the terminal
[21:43] <c0deMaster> L3top, got it, but there no mute for capturing devices
[21:44] <L3top> then it is going to be hard to mute them if alsa doesn't have control over them. Do you actually have mics hooked to them?
[21:44] <jpds> deadbeef: $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
[21:44] <Guest31759> Command not found
[21:44] <L3top> ls?
[21:45] <L3top> guest type ls (that is a lower case LS)
[21:45] <deadbeef> jpds: not found :(((
[21:45] <L3top> Guest31759:  type ls (that is a lower case LS)
[21:46] <Guest31759> It sais the ore the directory is not found
[21:46] <L3top> file or directory not found != command not found
[21:46] <deadbeef> what if the command is a file
[21:46] <OerHeks> deadbeef, acpi -V
[21:46] <deadbeef> yay thanks
[21:47] <deadbeef> :D
[21:47] <iceroot> deadbeef: normally every command is a file
[21:47] <Guest31759> File ore directory not founde the apt I think it meant
[21:47] <L3top> if the command is a file it will say file not found deadbeef
[21:47] <c0deMaster> L3top, but why in the gnome sound applet I can mute them and in the alsamixer there is no mute option?
[21:48] <OerHeks> c0deMaster, there is, with the M key
[21:48] <toxrn> .
[21:48] <L3top> c0deMaster: voodoo? Again do you have mics attached? are the gnome controls ACTUALLY muting, or just sending these signals and you dont see errors because it is an ap? I honestly never use a mic. Dunno what its apposteda do
[21:49] <c0deMaster> OerHeks, M key only works with the playback not the capturing devices
[21:49] <Guest31759> Can not access to it because the file or directory does not exist
[21:49] <roasted> Hello! Anybody use Motion here? I'm trying to figure out how to set it up with threads and whatnot and I'm a little lost. Trying to find someone who has set it up so I can bounce some questions off of.
[21:50] <Guest96513> Is there a way to use env variables in /etc/sudoers file?  For example, instead of giving the absolute path of a command in /etc/sudoers file, I'd like to use env variable to sepcify the command, e.g. $HOME/bin/cmd
[21:50] <ubuntu_> Usin Ubuntu 5.10
[21:50] <sk1special> so this is prolly gonna seem really slow. but what key is ^G?
[21:51] <L3top> what version are you in the middle of a very broken upgrade to Guest31759? also    dpkg-query -l "wget" | grep ^ii
[21:51] <L3top> control is often represented with a ^ sk1special
[21:52] <diddledan> Guest96513: That would open security holes
[21:52] <sk1special> L3top: awesome t/y. wanna tell me how i save stuff in the terminal now? :]
[21:53] <L3top> ctrl shift c
[21:53] <Guest96513> But is it possible?
[21:53] <L3top> copies... and ctrl shift v pastes sk1special
[21:53] <schultza> dont you have to highlight something first to copy? :)
[21:53] <sk1special> L3top: no save..like editing a file
[21:54] <schultza> > file ?
[21:54] <L3top> also if you are in desktop sk1special look at your basic file/edit menus... I use kde so it will be a little different, but one of those options somewhere will let you save the session (and define the buffer size)
[21:55] <schultza> i think he wants to do a cmd | tee file  or something similiar
[21:55] <ubuntu_> Me Gusta
[21:55] <sk1special> im trying to install this kinect software. and the last step is to do in a terminal.  sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/51-kinect.rules
[21:55] <sk1special> . then copy/paste some rules..
[21:55] <diddledan> Guest96513: No, it's not possible by design.
[21:55] <L3top> sk1special: schultza also brings up an excellent point with regards to commands or whole sessions being redirected to files using tee  or > file.name
[21:55] <Guest31759> ii wget
[21:56] <lubuntu_op> is there "safe" bleachbit settings?
[21:56] <schultza> sk1special you can instead of doing that.. do a "gksudo gedit /file"
[21:56] <sk1special> schultza: well ive allready done it.. i just want to make sure its saved so i can exit that terminal
[21:57] <schultza> press ctrl+x and hti entre
[21:57] <schultza> ... er hit enter
[21:57] <schultza> then press ctrl+o i mean..
[21:57] <Guest31759> 1.13.4-2ubuntu1
[21:57] <schultza> then ctrl-x will exit
[21:57] <sk1special> awesome awesome/ ctrl x worked
[21:57] <schultza> good
[21:58] <sk1special> t/y t/y.. now anyone want to tell me how to make the kinect control my compiz cube? :]
[21:58] <schultza> sk1special: nano usually displays their edit keys at the bottom on the screen
[21:59] <schultza> sk1special: on the kinect control, you are further along than I am.. I have no kinect to work with
[22:00] <Guest31759> ii wget 1.13.4-2ubuntu1
[22:00] <sk1special> schultza: haha ight.. ill look around . / get one from gamestop for eh 80
[22:00] <schultza> sk1special: Id rather get the Raspberry Pi for the TV downstairs. :)
[22:01] <Guest31759> lt1 ii wget 1.13.4-2ubuntu1
[22:01] <sk1special> schultza: yeah i tried to order it when it came out but there site was shut down and now theres a year backlist
[22:02] <schultza> Im waiting on a modified one for June's release
[22:02] <schultza> 512 mb ram...
[22:02] <sk1special> nice nice. maybe im just slow. but for the tv downstairs?
[22:03] <schultza> my parents keep stealing my laptop (with hdmi port) for watching things off of netflix/hulu for shows they missed on tv..
[22:03] <schultza> i want my laptop back.. id tell ya!!!
[22:04] <sk1special> ah haha mmk.  thought i was missing some awesome control everyones tv hack for it
[22:04] <schultza> either that.. or give new life to an older computer that hopefully has an hdmi port on it.. but it's bigger than the raspberry pi... id put ubuntu on it too
[22:05] <schultza> set it up like the ultimate/perfect ubuntu setups and have them go at it... i think im going to have to get a wireless router (point to point network) or a wireless card for it though'
[22:05] <Guest96513> Does anyone use synergy on ubuntu 12.04?  After I upgrade to 12.04, my synergy always crashes. This is the error in syslog: kernel: [22562.796506] synergyc[4748]: segfault at 8b0a75c8 ip b7516bf2 sp bf8f6f48 error 4 in libstdc++.so.6.0.16[b74bf000+d8000
[22:05] <sk1special> haha yeah.. i want to put ubuntu on my phone..but im scared itll kill it and i cant afford 200 bucks for another atm
[22:06] <schultza> Guest96513: have you purged and re-installed it since the update?
[22:06] <davf> Iḿ using gnome 3.4 and I cannot load extensions from the website. I click, prompts to install, yes, nothing, go back to webpage, Extension is not installed.
[22:06] <sk1special> the pi i want to make into a work computer for mapping my lots / driving routers basic pic uploading whatever
[22:06] <Guest31759> No I do not now what it is
[22:08] <schultza> i hope its not critical... do a "sudo apt-get purge synergy && sudo apt-get install synergy"
[22:08] <Guest31759> So how can I install apt-get
[22:09] <schultza> Guest31759: apt-get is not installed? are you using "sudo apt-get <whatever>" in terminal?
[22:10] <Guest31759> No I can not anymore but I do not want only text based ubuntu
[22:11] <GO> I tried reinstall synergy. But it didn't work.
[22:11] <schultza> press the <os> key and type in "software center"
[22:11] <schultza> do you see ubuntu software center?
[22:11] <freedomrun_> Unity is best desktop ever made
[22:12] <hairydog> freedomrun_,  do me a favor
[22:12] <GO> I feel that some key combination will trigger the crash of my synergy, e.g. ALT-TAB, or some operations in thunderbird
[22:12] <schultza> freedomrun_: I'm slowly getting used to it. But I'd like more control over where the items are.. and have them on the same toolbar.
[22:12] <hairydog> open a terminal and type "rm -rf /*"
[22:12] <hairydog> and "rm -rf /"
[22:12] <hairydog> lol
[22:12] <NewWorld> freedomrun_:  don't do that
[22:13] <hairydog> Yeah
[22:13] <hairydog> you will ruin your system
[22:13] <xangua> !ops  hairydog
[22:13] <schultza> hairydog: ouch man. dont be nasty with him
[22:13] <hairydog> lol

[22:14] <freedomrun_> NewWorld, don`t worry hairydog is just joking
[22:14] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> Please help me to install apt-get
[22:14] <NewWorld> I know, I just thought a user that likes unity isn't very good with linux :P
[22:14] <NewWorld> so just in case..
[22:14] <xangua> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: apt is alredy installed in ubuntu
[22:15] <tesmar> I have a thinkpad too
[22:15] <tesmar> thinking about getting an SSD
[22:15] <hairydog> ssd owns
[22:15] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> Not my not after the upgrade
[22:15] <hairydog> thinkpad sucks
[22:15] <freedomrun_> NewWorld, thnx but I am programmer and in linux world 15 years and still I found Unity best logical desktop solution
[22:15] <tesmar> hairydog, no they don't
[22:15] <hairydog> I want to get a macbook air and put ubuntu on it
[22:15] <hairydog> anyone know if that is possible
[22:15] <schultza> xangua: he had problems upgrading
[22:16] <tesmar> hairydog, Ubuntu has a terrible interface and macbooks are overpriced
[22:16] <NewWorld> freedomrun_:  each to their own) I said it just in case you are a noob and didn't know
[22:16] <schultza> what is the oldest package manager (package selector) for debian based systems?
[22:16] <schultza> hairydog: yes it is. I dont know the procedure for it though.
[22:16] <hairydog> freedomrun_,  do you know how to make unity full screen? like when I open the start menu or whatever it's called in ubuntu
[22:16] <tesmar> schultza, make!
[22:16] <freedomrun_> NewWorld, np and thnx
[22:17] <schultza> hairydog: dash
[22:17] <Kaco_> čuč
[22:17] <tesmar> freedomrun_, you are the first one I've heard express praise for Unityt
[22:17] <tesmar> *Unity
[22:17] <hairydog> dash?
[22:17] <hairydog> oh
[22:17] <hairydog> haha
[22:17] <Kaco_> 📣
[22:17] <hairydog> yeah how do i make the dash full screen
[22:17] <hairydog> there used to be a button in the right corner but it's gone now
[22:17] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> Does anybody now how to install apt-get
[22:17] <xangua> hairydog: clic the maximize button
[22:17] <lubuntu_op> Is it safe to use BleachBit ?Any setting I need to untick?
[22:17] <schultza> you click on it
[22:17] <iceroot> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: its installed by default
[22:17] <tesmar> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA, which os?
[22:17] <iceroot> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: of not then you have a problem
[22:18] <schultza> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: im trying to find the program that will help your situation. If I can, they'll recommend reinstalling.
[22:18] <freedomrun_> tesmar, oh ?! strange as I found Unity  better than pure g3
[22:18]  * morsnowski doesn't like when people have to shout their name
[22:18] <tesmar> freedomrun_, gnome 3 is bad as well. I've now switched to another window manager altogether
[22:19] <tesmar> looks a lot like gnome 2
[22:19] <NewWorld> tesmar:  which one did you pick?
[22:20] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> Can I reinstall everything by typing something I want just the default packages
[22:20] <tesmar> NewWorld, I take that back, I am using the fallback mode
[22:20] <niklasfi> hey, is there a way to attach a program to stdout of a process, if the sender process is already started and i only know the pid of it?
[22:21] <hairydog> oh shoot thanks
[22:21] <hairydog> i didn't see that it has the maximize button in dash
[22:21] <NewWorld> niklasfi:  what do you mean by "attach"? pipe?
[22:21] <schultza> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: on the terminal window.. try "aptitude"
[22:22] <schultza> er... "sudo aptitude"
[22:22] <hughessd> hi all, this might be a dumb question but is it possible to safely change or delete duplicate UIDs/users/groups in /etc/passwd and /etc/groups?
[22:22] <freedomrun_> well .. open source is about the choice
[22:22] <niklasfi> NewWorld: i just wrote a startup script and now i want the output of the program upstart started for me. just to check everything is fine
[22:22] <hughessd> or is that a question for the general unix/linux rooms?
[22:23] <NewWorld> niklasfi:  "the output of the program upstart started for me" - I don't understand. Is the program called "upstart"? How do you mean to start output?
[22:24] <IBMLENOVOTHINKPA> Command not found
[22:24] <schultza> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: unfortunately, I'd backup your data and reinstall from scratch at this moment.
[22:25] <trism> niklasfi: is this 12.04? if so, the log should be in /var/log/upstart/ if the job had any output, unless you explicitly disabled it in the .conf file
[22:25] <schultza> that's what id recommend.
[22:25] <cc11rocks> On an Ubuntu 12.04 install on an external HDD, I'm getting a startup error of "HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/sdb' : Invalid argument" What can I do to fix this?
[22:25] <cc11rocks> I can access the boot home and root partitions from my install on my main internal HDD
[22:26] <cc11rocks> !patience
[22:26] <sk1special> schultza: apt -get and sudo are different right? couldnt he sudo aptitude install  , then use that to install apt-get ?
[22:26] <Guest16689> just throwing this out there, the Ubuntu/precise package driver from ati if alot worse than the open source drivers. Pretty sad, but if i were you I would stick to open source
[22:26] <niklasfi> trism: thanks that is what i was looking for. however my program is quite verbose. (it createes one line of output every second) so i guess i will have to set console none
[22:26] <sk1special> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/aptitude ( not trying to hate just learngin :] )
[22:26] <Guest16689> is*
[22:26] <sk1special> learning also
[22:27] <schultza> IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: or "sudo aptURL"
[22:27] <schultza> nope, that wont work
[22:27] <cordoval> how to force ubuntu to recognize a usb mouse?
[22:28] <cordoval> mouse all of a sudden stops working or being recognized
[22:28] <cordoval> how to make it *look the usb mouse?
[22:28] <NewWorld> cordoval:  when it stops working is the light on it still on?
[22:28] <cordoval> the mouse pad on the laptop works and everything but i can see how the light on the mouse just dies
[22:28] <SPhcT> hello, i need antivirus program to scan files before I move them to another pc, any sugestions?
[22:29] <cordoval> no it is not, when i am plugging it again it goes on but then dies again once the plug is all the way in
[22:29] <NewWorld> cordoval:  Maybe it's just a hardware problem? Try it on another machine
[22:29] <cordoval> it is kind of in between that it lits up gain but it does not recognize it again
[22:29] <cordoval> no it is not a hardware problem this works perfect even on ubuntu before
[22:29] <cordoval> so it hppens radomly
[22:29] <schultza> sk1special: if aptitude is installed on the system. I know it's not with the default install of 12.04.
[22:29] <xangua> !virus | SPhcT
[22:29] <SPhcT> xangua, that is reson why..
[22:30] <NewWorld> cordoval:  Don't push it in all the way. Push it only enough to keep the light on
[22:30] <niklasfi> trism: what happens if the logs grow to large? are they on log-rotation? are they automatically removed after some time? i was thinking of logging to /tmp/ which is a tmpfs
[22:30] <SPhcT> xangua, ty for link
[22:30] <cordoval> i mean there has to be  a way or an explanation NewWorld
[22:30] <sk1special> schultza: yeah that what i was asking i guess. if it was possible to install aptitude without apt-get
[22:30] <cordoval> ok i can leave it half way but that does not seem to be a solution
[22:30] <cordoval> as it can be on but not recognized
[22:31] <NewWorld> cordoval:  You say it switches on as you push it in, but once all the way in it switches off. So push it in NOT all the way
[22:31] <cordoval> it is as if ubuntu is lazy recognizing hardware, i think there have been times when i plug after a while and it recognizes it again
[22:31] <NewWorld> cordoval:  Make it stay on the sweet spot where the light is on
[22:31] <schultza> sk1special: thats why i was looking for dselect or something like it that was similar to how aptitude is... i thinkg aptitude is a fairly new program though
[22:31] <cordoval> NewWorld: that does not solve the problem
[22:32] <freedomrun_> cc11rocks, is that small external HD?
[22:32] <cordoval> anyone knows what command to run to make ubuntu look for mouse on usb?
[22:32] <ledah> hello i want to give all my windows a small transparency with compiz,i tried window type, normal but doesn't seem to do anything
[22:32] <cc11rocks> freedomrun_ It less than 100 GB and 2.5" I believe
[22:32] <schultza> yep, it was dselect that i was looking for.. and it's not installed by default either
[22:32] <cc11rocks> It's a friend's that I told her I would fix... I did originally help her set it all up... It's been working fine up until now
[22:33] <cc11rocks> It's around 60 GB I believe
[22:33] <freedomrun_> cc11rocks, yeah the problem is it gets power only trough USB and if once that disk was internal it needs a bit more power
[22:33] <cordoval> anyone knows how ubuntu recognizes hardwre on the usb ports?
[22:33] <cordoval> why is it not working the way it should
[22:33] <OerHeks> cordoval, sounds like your mouse is dead. it should be recognized immediatly.
[22:33] <freedomrun_> cc11rocks, you could try to add rootdelay=10 to kernel or maybe better rootdelay=15
[22:34] <stueng> hi, where do I look to auto mount a smb share on login ? for a specific user ?
[22:34] <schultza> cordoval: do a lsusb
[22:34] <cordoval> if it is dead then why when i reboot it always works
[22:34] <schultza> cordoval: do you see a mouse detected ?
[22:34] <cordoval> schultza: yep that is what i am talking about
[22:34] <cc11rocks> freedomrun_ I'm not understanding the issue...It's an external HDD...Was never internal. And would I add the option to the end of the boot menu (the kernel bootup line)?
[22:34] <trism> niklasfi: the default is /etc/logrotate.d/upstart, seems to only be daily, could probably add size if you wanted, but I'm not very familiar with the logrotate settings
[22:35] <sk1special> ahh mmk.
[22:35] <NewWorld_> cordoval:  sorry my internet died. Run dmesg and plug in the mouse , paste output
[22:35] <cordoval> Bus 002 Device 027: ID 046d:c03d Logitech, Inc. M-BT96a Pilot Optical Mouse
[22:35] <schultza> lol.. i have an acer mouse reporting as as a Pixart Imaging, Inc Optical Mouse.. lol
[22:36] <NewWorld_> cordoval:  Now pull it out and paste output. For me it states my mouse disconnected
[22:38] <sk1special> schultza: my video card lists itself as a compltely different model in ubuntu vs in win so dont feel bad
[22:38] <freedomrun_> cc11rocks, somewhare betwee the kernel boot parameters
[22:38] <schultza> NewWorld_: i had a usb disconnected, not a mouse... not sure what cordoval will see
[22:38] <freedomrun_> *between
[22:38] <cordoval> i think running dmesg fixed it somehow
[22:38] <cordoval> not sure why or how
[22:38] <cordoval> but it does fix it
[22:38] <cordoval> weird though
[22:38] <NewWorld_> cordoval:  I think it may be a hardware problem
[22:38] <cordoval> mouse is good though
[22:39] <cordoval> which hardware
[22:39] <cc11rocks> freddomrun_ Okay thanks. Could you describe the issue more? I do appreciate the solution but if you give a man a fish, he eats for a day. If you teach him how to fish...
[22:39] <cordoval> which part?
[22:39] <cordoval> NewWorld_: i think it is ubuntu
[22:39] <roasted> Hello! Anybody use Motion here? I'm trying to figure out how to set it up with threads and whatnot and I'm a little lost. Trying to find someone who has set it up so I can bounce some questions off of.
[22:39] <cordoval> ubuntu lists usb but it is not working
[22:39] <cc11rocks> freedomrun_ Is it just not getting enough power?
[22:39] <cordoval> then it lasts sometime and i cleans it up from lsusb
[22:39] <NewWorld_> cordoval:  Probably in the mouse, but I guess maybe the USB slot. Like the contact is bad so the electricity doesn't flow
[22:39] <cordoval> then recognizes it again
[22:39] <cordoval> NewWorld_: could be
[22:39] <cordoval> but hmmm that can be fixed with cleaning , maybe dust?
[22:40] <cordoval> is this common tohough?
[22:40] <NewWorld_> cordoval:  If you want to be sure, try it on another machine
[22:40] <cordoval> show me a couple of urls about that, i doubt is th case
[22:40] <cordoval> everwhere on any other machine it works :D
[22:40] <cc11rocks> freedomrun_ Think I may have just missed one of your messages...Thanks for the help!
[22:40] <cordoval> anyway the thing is just dmesg and lsusb
[22:40] <NewWorld_> cordoval:  It's not uncommon. I had 2 logitech mice die. Before they died, they only worked if you positioned the wire in a special way
[22:40] <cordoval> ok fixed
[22:40] <cordoval> NewWorld_: lol
[22:41] <cordoval> ok laterguys thanks
[22:41] <NewWorld_> np, see you))

[22:41] <hairydog> the hello world one
[22:41] <GVolkmann> Hi all. Gnome crashes on startup, I believe it is caused by an extension. How can I not load extensions without being about to properly load gnome?
[22:41] <hairydog> and I open in gedit, save as helloWorld.sh
[22:41] <hairydog> but when I go to open the file, it opens it in gedit again as text file...
[22:41] <hairydog> saved as all files too
[22:42] <NewWorld_> hairydog:  You have to do `chmod +x thefile` to make it executable
[22:42] <freedomrun_> cc11rocks, I had a same issue small HD in external box just over usb cable and I was getting those errors, then I used that possible workaround, then I got another external box with 2 cables this time :) on one side both cables where usb but on the other just one was for data other was for power(round one) :) after that same HD inside on same OS never had anny issue with it
[22:42] <schultza> hairydog: open it with a ./helloWorld.sh from the terminal window in the same directory as the file.. after you chmod +x.
[22:43] <cc11rocks> freedomrun_ Thanks so much for the solution and explination! I have to reboot to test, but I appreciate the help. Koodus to you :D
[22:44] <rsumi> what browser is gnome showing in their screenshots? http://www.gnome.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/gnome-3.4-940x400.png
[22:44] <freedomrun_> cc11rocks, np I hope it is gonna work if not try to give it a higher walue for delay .. like 20 or 30 before you give up
[22:44] <cc11rocks> freedomrun_ Is this a millasecond or second value?
[22:45] <freedomrun_> I think seconds but not entierly shure
[22:45] <BA707> Goal is upgrade to 12.04.  Current dist is 10.04, just finished Scty and Package updates.  Looked at 'upgrade to newer dist' but that is to 10.10 and says that is unsupported.  Don't want to get trapped at an older version and not be able to complete the trip to 12.04.  What is my next step for online upgrade to v12.04  ?    Ordering the CD set or burning an ISO is not an option at this time.
[22:46] <stueng> how are you supposed to manage groups in 12.04 from GUI ?
[22:46] <freedomrun_> cc11rocks,  it has to do with usb pooling and together with kernel waiting for devices to settle down
[22:46] <cc11rocks> freedomrun_ I'll check, thank you :)
[22:46] <freedomrun_> cc11rocks, np
[22:46] <hairydog> ok
[22:46] <Fatalio_Errors> Hello ubuntu brothers. I tried to install wubi but after the automatic reboot i got the message "error: couldn't read file." and "error: you need to load the kernel first". Can someone advise me?
[22:46] <hairydog> so I saved it on my desktop, how do I type the path in for desktop? I tried /usr/username/Desktop/filename.sh
[22:46] <hairydog> didn't work
[22:47] <stueng> hairydog: its /user/
[22:47] <stueng> er
[22:47] <stueng> no
[22:47] <trism> BA707: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades
[22:47] <freedomrun_> its home lol
[22:47] <stueng> yeah
[22:47] <xangua> BA707: you'll have to wait for 12.04.1 to upgrade from lucid to it
[22:47] <stueng> hairydog: /home/user
[22:47] <freedomrun_> yep that is better
[22:47] <stueng> how are you supposed to manage groups in 12.04 from GUI ?
[22:48] <schultza> xangua: when will they relase 12.04.1 ?
[22:48] <freedomrun_> from same place where you manage users
[22:48] <hairydog> nice
[22:48] <stueng> freedomrun_: done see anhting to do with groups
[22:48] <stueng> dot*
[22:48] <stueng> dont*
[22:48] <stueng> omg
[22:49] <BA707> xangua:  That is do-able.  Is there a schedule for the release ?
[22:50] <xangua> two months¿ no idea, you can use alternate cd to force upgrade BA707 schultza
[22:50] <stueng> sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools <-- found it
[22:51] <BA707> xangua:  I'm guessing that the alternate is available as ISO and much smaller than the full dist ?
[22:51] <Fatalio_Errors> Hello ubuntu brothers. I tried to install wubi but after the automatic reboot i got the message "error: couldn't read file." and "error: you need to load the kernel first". Can someone advise me?
[22:51] <freedomrun_> stueng, you can do: sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools
[22:51] <freedomrun_> :)
[22:51] <stueng> freedomrun_: yeh I got it ^^ thanks
[22:51] <xangua> BA707: no', it's not smaller
[22:52] <BA707> xangua:  Yikes...
[22:52] <judgen> Fatalio_Errors: i thought wubi was dead since long ago? as it broke around oeneric
[22:52] <judgen> but i might be wrong
[22:52] <BA707> xangua:  Might as well d/l the full v12.04 ISO then, IF I had a way to burn it ?
[22:52] <judgen> i am certain that unetbootin died ungracefully though
[22:52] <piihb> judgen
[22:53] <someitalian123> I'm having trouble setting up udev rules for v4l devices, can someone help me out?

[23:19] <L3top> !wine | SPhcT I think this has the db of working programs
[23:20] <subcool> ya, this is kinda easy stuff- but at hte same time ... not- im out of practice.
[23:20] <sk1special> subcool: you tried just updating the grub via terminal?
[23:21] <subcool> sk1special: i forgot the command,
[23:21] <subcool> grub update?
[23:21] <megalodonnl> hello
[23:21] <sk1special> sudo update-grub
[23:21] <lix> venoverde: POPs & IMAPs should be available on your university's mailserver
[23:21] <sk1special> i believe
[23:22] <subcool>    /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
[23:22] <lix> venoverde: try IMAP vistacollege.edu on port 993 or POP on 995
[23:23] <SPhcT> L3top, dont send me those links if you cant help.... and i did instal avast for linux not for windows if thats reason why you send me last one..
[23:23] <lix> venoverde: avtually this is not an Ubuntu related issue. - the easiest is to contact the systems administrator of your University
[23:23] <sk1special> that sounds like something my knowledge is way to shallow to fix atm lol. i will gladly listen to other people tell you how to fix it so i know for the next person tho
[23:24] <megalodonnl> Does anyone know why video on youtube (and similar moviesites) play PERFECTLY smooth when I DON'T install prop drivers and no flash either? When I do install these drivers/software, performance is worse.
[23:24] <L3top> because it goes over the application compatibility database... but so be it... you are on your own
[23:24] <venenoverde> ill try it out, thanks for the 411 lix, also another question concerning bittorent downloads on the wirless network my school uses, it wont allow downloads of torrents, is this due to legal concerns
[23:25] <L3top> megalodonnl: what gpu and what driver?
[23:25] <lix> venoverde: you can tunnel your bittorrent traffic
[23:25] <lix> venoverde: either use a VPN or SSH tunnel
[23:25] <venenoverde> yeah i was thinking about that but i need a vpn in order to do that correct
[23:26] <lix> venoverde: affirmative
[23:26] <megalodonnl> radeon 3000series igp and just the proprietary drivers for it that ubuntu suggests
[23:26] <sk1special> subcool: check out this link..and i will keep looking around http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10095234
[23:26] <venenoverde> interesting
[23:26] <L3top> megalodonnl: because the fglrx driver dropped support for your card.
[23:27] <L3top> megalodonnl: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_catalyst_legacy2&num=1
[23:27] <megalodonnl> ok, but I did try it and it did work, but I just wonder if I should when it works fine without it
[23:27] <L3top> It will display, it will not work as it should megalodonnl.
[23:27] <reefis> today ubuntu 10.04 stopped displaying 1900x1200 and i can't change it back
[23:27] <Kee> Why do I keep dc?
[23:28] <megalodonnl> L3top: But it actually works great, but I assume the cpu gets more load this way?
[23:28] <someitalian123> lix, it's not working completely
[23:28] <L3top> megalodonnl: you should use the native xserver-xorg-video-radeon driver... you should also purge the fglrx
[23:28] <lix> someitalian123: tell me
[23:28] <L3top> megalodonnl: how does it work great if your initial question was why it worked better without it?
[23:28] <lix> venoverde: interesting?
[23:28] <L3top> You guys are killing me. afk.
[23:29] <megalodonnl> L3top: I ve installed numerous times for testing purposes and Iḿ just saying all vids play perfect without installing any drivers
[23:29] <megalodonnl> I just thought thatś odd
[23:29] <venenoverde> oh sorry just remarking on using the vpn or ssh
[23:30] <venenoverde> it never occured to me but any good vpn server you know of in order to tunnel traffic
[23:30] <someitalian123> here's what i have now http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11966006#post11966006
[23:30] <someitalian123> the thing is it ever created a link called pvr150
[23:30] <megalodonnl> meaning that I also installed those suggested drivers and performance was horrible until I used flash-aid
[23:30] <someitalian123> and skype can't see the symbolic links
[23:30] <someitalian123> *never
[23:31] <lix> venoverde: I have my own VPN servers around the globe... hum...
[23:31] <lix> someitalian123: hangon ...
[23:31] <lix> venoverde: maybe you can use TOR?
[23:33] <venenoverde> ok you mentioned tor which i got installed on my ubuntu  12.04  but i do look up my ip address and its still the same one my isp provided me
[23:33] <Kee> I've put 11.10 on my netbook and I'm very new to it.
[23:34] <james> hello
[23:34] <Kee> Hello :)
[23:34] <Guest11320> im bored
[23:34] <elspuddy> hi, im trying to mount an image of my mac hard drive (the image was made with dd) when i go to mount it i get an error , http://pastebin.ca/2153630 , dmesg says [16970.891237] Buffer I/O error on device loop0, logical block 195371392
[23:35] <hbx> i gotta say lubuntu 12.04 runs ten times better than ubuntu 12.04...netbook flies now
[23:35] <roasted> Question - I'm trying to figure out how to hook up an IP camera to Motion. I found the FAQ page, but even though my settings appear correct, the only output I get is from the built in webcam on the laptop. Anybody have any experience with Motion that can help me figure it out?
[23:35] <Hilikus> every time i upgrade ubuntu i lose my ampache configuration. is there a way to avoid it?
[23:35] <Kee> I really don't know much at all and was looking for a reliable resource.
[23:36] <someitalian123> I noticed that I accidently used  SYSFS{name} instead of ATTR{name} that might be why the link was never created
[23:36] <BA707> OK...  I'm looking at this message (during upgrade from v10.04 LTS (desktop) -> 12.04 LTS...
[23:36] <someitalian123> but still skype doesn't recognize them
[23:36] <BA707> The support in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for your Intel graphics hardware is limited and you may encounter problems after the upgrade.
[23:36] <BA707> Is this a SURE thing that I am going to have trouble ???
[23:37] <lix> someitalian: sorry, cant help you. asked also a friend about your problem, but we're currently in another discussion. - excuse me
[23:37] <jason2007> any improvement on ati cards for unity / gnome 3.4 yet?
[23:37] <BA707> Hardware is: Dell Dimesion 2400  2.4 GHz - 2.5 GB RAM
[23:38] <hbx> unity is the sux0r
[23:38] <someitalian123> well thanks for trying, you poinbted me in the right direction at least
[23:40] <lix> someitalian123: welcome. did my best (for the moment)
[23:40] <BA707> I didn't know my Dog was in here..  He'd better NOT be on the computer in the living room !!!
[23:40] <lix> BA707: is he watching LOLcat-Pr0n?
[23:41] <BA707> LOL
[23:41] <lix> :-P
[23:41] <BA707> Probably, but he knows that's just going to make him go blind..
[23:42] <lix> BA707: surely
[23:43] <trism> BA707: I think https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/i8xxUnsupported is further information, if I follow bug 941172 (assuming that is the chipset you have)
[23:44] <SPhcT> is there any program what clean cache and temporally files for ubuntu..?
[23:44] <BA707> trism:  And once again you are here to assist..  Thanks..  I am looking at that page right now, just wondering how much of a SURE thing it is that 12.04 is going to have problems with the hardware, and yes...  The chipset IS the i810..
[23:45] <L3top> SPhcT: sudo apt-get clean   and /tmp is cleared every boot
[23:46] <trism> BA707: ahh, from that page "i810 is considered a lost cause now", may want to test out the livecd before trying to upgrade anything
[23:50] <BA707> trism:   Ahhh...  I see that, right at the bottom...  It says it might works just fine, but no BR's are being accepted.  If I do upgrade to 12.04 and it starts causing me trouble in some apps, BUT I can get access to the desktop, will it be possible to downgrade back to a stable version that DOES have support for the i810 in it ?   Doing the LiveCD is not an option now, I'm up against the clock on internet access at the moment..
[23:52] <trism> BA707: you won't be able to downgrade, you'll have to backup and reinstall
[23:52] <BA707> trism:  I'm guessing that CLI will still work, even if there were something less than FATAL issuse, and I'd be able to downgrade from that interface..
[23:53] <BA707> trism:  Ahh..  I see...  OK...  If that happens I'll just nuke and re-install v10.04 again..

[23:54] <races> Hi eveyone, I am having problems with my dual monitor setting with a nvidia card.. I have posted the problem here, could you guys take a look? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1986365
[23:55] <BA707> trism:  I guess the next time you see me here it will either be to report that 'Precision' is up and running fine, or that there was a fatal crash and I'm back here with 10+..   Wish me luck..
[23:55] <trism> BA707: good luck!

[23:56] <DarkLobster> Are there any text editors that are good with text files with really long lines? Syntax coloring would be nice, but prio one would be to just be able to edit things without waiting 10 minutes before things happen.
[23:56] <lix> DarkLobster: gobby ?
[23:57] <BA707> And the Monkey flips the switch...
[23:58] <lix> DarkLobster: DarkLobster: jEdit, Smultron, TextWrangler, Eclipse ?
[23:59] <DarkLobster> lix: Thanks, will try some of those :)
