[01:22] unionfs seems promising, but it's not in ubuntu! [01:22] 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.

[01:23] sary go to your pm [01:23] deadmund, when does this remapping happen? reboot? [01:23] harris: Okay :) [01:24] arooni-mobile: I believe it happens on the fly (instantly when a write fails). I could be wrong though. === netmk_ is now known as netmk [01:24] sary [01:24] arooni-mobile: It might be delayed if you're doing a really big write / read like you said you are.

[01:26] * deadmund proudly states that his hdd power cycle count is 5334 [01:26] 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] 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.

Also, when I go to the Windows partition, my wireless is always off, and I have to turn it on every time. [03:22] 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] piihb: 'go to the windows partition' = you mean boot to windows? [03:23] But absolutely no sound while editing :/ [03:23] Yeah. I turned off the bluetooth on Ubuntu and now my wireless is automatically turned off every time I boot to Windows. [03:23] 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] 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] should i just go with the 64bit version ? [03:24] dingus: use 64bit if your hardware supports it [03:24] hi L3top [03:24] dingus: if you need to ask, i'd say use 32bit [03:24] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1004104/ L3top does this make sense to you? [03:24] hello sunitasethi. You are going to ask me about this oddball USB ethernet call eh? [03:25] L3top: it is challenging [03:25] 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] Dr_Willis, zykotick9 thanks [03:25] sunitasethi: good to see you here again lol [03:25] hi naryfa [03:25] And actually did that export with kdenlive itself [03:26] sunitasethi: hi :) [03:26] * L3top doesn't let 15 dollar solutions cause him this much aggrivation... [03:26] ive been toying wwith video editing in 'openshot' this week.. decent little app. :) [03:26] naryfa: hi [03:26] L3top: good [03:26] 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] does this make sense to anyone ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1004104/ [03:27] 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] sunitasethi: you still fight with that usb ethernet? [03:28] hi how do you add the tomboy lens to ubuntu 12.04 [03:28] naryfa: yes we never spoke before [03:28] sunitasethi: have you confirmed that this usb ethernet adapter is working in another OS? [03:28] sunitasethi: we did, last night [03:28] hello [03:28] naryfa, are you still chatting about ethernet [03:28] 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] naryfa: i am going to sell the adapter [03:29] anyone know how to fix that === d is now known as Guest87828 [03:29] sunitasethi: good idea [03:29] hi guys how do install the tomboy len in ubuntu 12.04 [03:29] L3top: it is suppose work with windows xp [03:29] harris_: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/unity-tomboy-lens.html google is your friend [03:29] have you confirmed that specific one in your hands does sunitasethi? [03:29] 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] xangua, what about grooveshark [03:29] L3top: it's an flv. I'm going to give Dr_Willis' openshot a try. [03:30] Dr_Willis: What were you saying earlier about using recovery mode to reinstall, in a sense? [03:30] L3top: it was when i bought it [03:30] 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] vexaxv: does this happen to be a EEE netbook? [03:30] harris_: mmm it looks the ppa for tomboy lens is only for oneirc [03:30] piihb: you normally use recovery or rescue mode to 'fix' a broken system [03:30] its a toshiba satelite l755 [03:30] L3top: but you never know [03:30] xangua, well [03:30] tomboy has really fallen out of favor. ;( i liked the app.. but never use it any more either [03:31] L3top: and i think this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1004104/ it may have worked [03:31] vexaxv: adding "acpi_osi=Linux" to grub might be worth a shot, e at grub menu to test. [03:31] zykotick9, how do i do that [03:31] 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] 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] 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] L3top: it is in excellent physical condition [03:32] has anyone else had any problems [03:32] piihb: i dont know how you turned off your blooth.. try turning it back on he same way? [03:32] burnt: welcome to unity [03:32] L3top: the cable works with other ethernet ports [03:32] I dont use unity [03:32] its naff [03:33] anyhow, good night [03:33] I use ubuntu with gnome classic [03:33] piihb: recovery/rescue mode is the console.. so its text ... you enter commands [03:33] 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] naryfa, :) [03:33] does anyone know how to install the tomboy lens for ubuntu 12.04 [03:33] burnt: aah, sorry [03:33] hey its ok :) [03:33] 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] zykotick9, ?? [03:33] vexaxv: can you raise the brightness with the fn + f? key ( on this laptop it is f8) [03:33] wish I could fix this [03:33] 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] does anyone know a lot about lenses [03:33] L3top, no.. [03:34] blackmatrix_ny: use 64bit os if your hardware supports it [03:34] L3top, i cant edit the brightness via keyboard or settings [03:34] vexaxv: i already said. someone else will need to help you - sorry [03:34] zykotick9, its ok [03:34] burnt are you using the mate fork? try that [03:34] Dr_Willis, what is a ppd [03:34] My xchat seg faulted and now I can't open no programs.

[03:36] piihb: the installer can reformat the hard drive. [03:36] !bohdi linux [03:36] Dr_Willis, how do i get the ppa [03:36] well... i would like some information from it... is it bright enough to use at all vexaxv? [03:36] Bulletrulz, /msg ubottu [03:37] blackmatrix_ny: totally wrong. amd64 is for any 64bit cpu - intel or amd. [03:37] Dr_Willis, to try it [03:37] L3top, yes infact it runs quite nice [03:37] L3top, but if you compare it to mine..oh yeah brightness is lowww [03:37] vexaxv: lspci -nn | grep VGA [03:37] can i insta,, lubuntu from a usb drive and keep wiindows [03:37] 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] L3top, k now what [03:37] Dr_Willis, ok thanks, but they gotta fix that name though...totally misleading [03:38] 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] Bulletrulz: you can [03:38] !help list [03:38] L3top: brightness issue with portables is often an acpi issue [03:38] blackmatrix_ny: thats the name that has been used for several years for all 64bit versions by a great manu disrtos [03:38] Bulletrulz, I told you to /msg ubottu , please do so [03:38] blackmatrix_ny: amd had 64bit chips out first [03:38] L3top, k ill be right back [03:38] Dr_Willis, check your PM [03:38] zykotick9: you are very correct... I always forget that... this should probably be addressed with a boot parameter [03:39] blackmatrix_ny: and from what i recall intel basically licensed the 64bit extensions..

[03:41] L3top, whats the command to update it [03:41] Dr_Willis, what is the source code [03:41] harris_: you did try searching the repos to see if it was in the default repos? you checked askubuntu.com ? [03:41] !compile | harris_ [03:41] harris_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall [03:42] 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] L3top, k [03:42] 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] how do you search to see if it is in the repos [03:44] 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] edwinkcw: bash has some keyboard shortcuts to delete last word.. but i cant rember them [03:45] Dr_Willis: oh, I need them [03:46] check the bash docs/tutorials :) [03:46] saw some bash command line keybinding cheat sheet online once.. [03:46] check out bash 'history' cheat sheets also. thst can save a lot of typing [03:47] i dont seem to use 5% of thebash features that are there... [03:47] Plus most of the keybondings wont work with me on my cell phone over ssh. :) [03:48] I think the better way is to use ctrl left-arrow and then ctrl K [03:48] edwinkcw: did you find alt+d? [03:48] zykotick9: not work.. [03:48] Hello, can someone please tell me why the program "sensors" is showing me these alarms? http://pastebin.com/cRg7sMWC [03:49] edwinkcw: works here? http://www.aboutlinux.info/2005/08/bash-shell-shortcuts.html [03:49] zykotick9: using ctrl+k is better [03:50] edwinkcw: if you want to delete to the eol sure [03:50] testing to see if ctrl-k works here.. la la la kkk nope.. [03:50] ;) [03:51] zykotick9: oh...alt + backspace [03:51] Hi I am stuck installing mailman, what key is the choose key to choose the language [03:52] shape: it looks like a problem with the configurations of the thresholds. high = 0.0 C is obviously wrong [03:52] vite: if its some text dialog box.. use tab and enter [03:52] Aprel, yeah, so is it the program that is faulty? [03:53] Dr_Willis its 12.04 server, pink screen and it does not choose it [03:54] 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] vite: for most of the dpkg config dialogs, i belive you use tab to move around, arrow, space and enter keys [03:54] 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] 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] L3top, ever figure anything out? [03:56] Aprel: I just ran sensors-detect again, and I got the same result. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:57] Anybody know why I cannot upload directories of files with ftp to my web root? [03:58] oki doki will try [03:58] 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] how do I make my USB webcam default? [04:00] 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] 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] i have cron job, but seem it never execute it. this is the syntax is 0 5 * * * /var/backup/backup.sh [04:00] chip8874, hows that related to ubuntu [04:00] is it correct ? [04:00] i want the job to be executed at 5 am daily [04:01] bazhang: its on the terminal [04:01] 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] shape: but those values don't look like cause for alarm, contrary to what the sensors programs is flawingly stating [04:01] sorry vexaxv... I got pulled into another chat [04:01] chip8874, whats on the terminal [04:01] Apel, yeah, it's the thresholds that seem to be wrong. So automatically it considers it an alarm. [04:01] L3top, np so any idea? [04:01] bazhang: I would like to know how to script that action with linux [04:02] chip8874, try one of the java channels, perhaps [04:02] 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] 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] !alis | chip8874 [04:02] chip8874: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [04:02] bazhang: ok thanks [04:03] Aprel, yeah, no worries. I was more curious than worried! Thanks anyway though, I appreciate it :) [04:03] shape: np [04:04] Ah, sorry to be off topic [04:04] 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] 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] how do I make my USB webcam default? [04:05] apic... dangit [04:06] shape: do you knwo the codecs the hd video files are using? [04:06] Aprel h.256 [04:07] Do you know ? [04:07] Configure Domain Controller On Centos [04:07] ok vexaxv: edit /etc/default/grub and on the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= add noacpi somewhere [04:08] Aprel, sorry H.264 [04:08] 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] L3top, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" thats what it currently looks like [04:10] 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] hello [04:10] vexaxv: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noacpi" [04:10] can someone help me [04:10] Harris: check the history command to see what they were [04:10] Harris, with what [04:10] Harris: or the channel logs [04:11] 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] i know what they were [04:11] how do i make them stay [04:11] shape: looking online, gstreamer is the backend for parole wheereas the FFmpeg project backs vlc [04:11] L3top, whats no acpi do [04:11] paulus68: you could use gparted to partion, and format them from outside the installer and watch for errors [04:11] Aprel, Yeah. Thanks btw! [04:12] Dr_Willis, how do i make them stay [04:12] Harris: if we knew what commands you are refering to... [04:12] Dr_Willis: is there a way to launch gparted from alternate cd? [04:12] 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] Harris: or toss them in /etc/rc.local and see [04:12] they are [04:12] 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] 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] how do I make my USB webcam default? [04:13] sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer [04:13] sudo modprobe b43 Dr_Willis [04:13] Harris: the install command just needs ran once. [04:14] Harris: and you can set the module to autoload [04:14] !modules [04:14] To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard kernel, for more info /msg ubottu kernel , install the relevant package, usually called "-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates). To prevent specific modules from loading, see /msg ubottu blacklist [04:14] Aprel, of course. I use it on my other (good) computer, because it plays....Everything! [04:14] Dr_Willis, how [04:14] what is the module autoload file.. /etc/modules i think [04:15] Dr_Willis, it said permission dined [04:15] Harris: linux basics.. to mess with system configs.. you need sudo rights [04:15] well ubuntu basics. ;) [04:15] its also possible thst module has been blacklisted to keep it from auto-loading [04:16] you may need to unblacklist it. [04:16] L3top, thank u it worked what did no acpi mean [04:16] Dr_Willis, i am sudo [04:17] 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] It turned off the advanced configuration and power interface vexaxv. [04:17] Harris: so add the module name to the end of the /etc/modules file [04:18] L3top, what does that have to do with brightness [04:19] L3top, i have one more issue and this time its on my laptop haha [04:19] 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] vexaxv: ^ [04:19] how do I make my USB webcam default? [04:20] 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] default what robertzaccour? [04:20] im running 64 bit 12.04 [04:21] how do i make it autorun Dr_Willis what do i type the codes in [04:21] Harris: the /etc/modules file is a text file you edit and add the modules you want to load to the list. [04:22] 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) === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest92623 [04:22] What is the other issue vexaxv? [04:22] 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] 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] hello all. first irc so i know very little [04:24] L3top: nothing is muted in alsamixer [04:24] L3top, that would probably work. Maybe there's a way to disable my integrated webcam [04:25] Dr_Willis, i cant/ dont know how to open /etc/modules [04:25] Harris: its a text file. use a text editor [04:26] !editor [04:26] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs, ed - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [04:26] where do i locate it [04:26] 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] hey, I'm going to get a thinkpad T520 and istall ubuntu on it pretty soon. Has anyone done this? Any issues? [04:26] Harris: locate? the full path to the file ie /etc/modules [04:27] Harris: gksudo gedit /etc/modules [04:27] 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] if you unload the module for a device - its /dev/ entry should also vanish [04:29] is anybody else having problems when turning off their laptops. Mine doesn't shutdowns or restarts. [04:29] I have had no problems myself [04:29] felipe__: can depend on the chipset/make/model of the laptop often the forums or askubuntu.com have tweaks for specific models [04:29] L3top, i dont see anything [04:30] blue people in youtube videos anyone? really annoying [04:31] 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] UncleSlippyFist, full screen the flash, then turn off hw acceleration [04:31] UncleSlippyFist: known bug. disable hardware acceleration in flash settings can fix it. or use html5 option on youtube [04:31] 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] felipe__: new kernel, new subsystem changes.. new bugs [04:31] 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] 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] Dr_Willis, ok thanks [04:32] robertzaccour: unload the module the other webcam uses. [04:32] L3top, well thanks for all your help im off for now cya man :) [04:32] UncleSlippyFist: make sure its fullscreened. i just use html5 on youtube [04:32] 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] i use html5, too, but for some reason it doesn't work on all videos. Some are still flash. very random [04:33] np vexaxv, sorry I couldn't be of more help on your second issue... [04:33] youtube dosnet have them all converted to html5 [04:33] oh hey! full screen worked! Thanks, Dr_Willis [04:33] 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] Aethrs: did you set up the /dev/ in the mountpoint befor you chrooted? [04:35] Yes, i did. [04:35] That's why I'm kinda confused. [04:35] perosnally i tend to just use 'grub-install' with all the right options, i rarely chroot any more [04:35] theres also that boot-repair gui tool [04:36] How do i use grub-install ? [04:36] Or the gui tool, for that matter. [04:36] grub-install --help [04:36] !fixgrub [04:36] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [04:36] has a link to instslling the boot-repair tool [04:37] Dr_Willis, I'm not sure how to do that [04:38] robertzaccour: do what? [04:39] * Dr_Willis has only a 10 line history buffer visible [04:39] Dr_Willis, I don't know how to unload webcam modules [04:39] robertzaccour: sudo rmmod modulename [04:39] That link doesn't really seem to be useful to me. [04:40] mine 10.4 LTS - after update my ooo is slow. Starts accessing HDD on every click/move! Help! [04:40] theres a link to installing the 'boot-repair' tool somewhere in those docs. its in a ppa. [04:40] So would grub-install --root-directory=/mnt be reasonable? [04:40] Dr_Willis- "Installing"? I have a unbootable system. [04:40] Aethrs: im not sur if it wants /mnt/ or /mnt/boot [04:40] you can install the boot-repair tool from a live-cd setup to 'ram' [04:41] Dr_Willis, sudo rmmod modulenamme [04:41] ERROR: Module modulenamme does not exist in /proc/modules [04:41] i was hopeing thwy would include it on the 12.04 live cd. ;( but no luck [04:41] Searching on that page for repair turns up nothing. [04:41] robertzaccour: yes.. you need to put in the right modulename [04:42] Dr_Willis, oh, I don't know what that is [04:42] robertzaccour: neiother do i [04:42] which is why i said 'modulename' ;) [04:43] Dr_Willis, do you know how to find what the modulename is? [04:43] lsmod shows them all.. but what each webcam uses.. no idea. [04:44] it may have the name of the webcam somewhere in the name of the module [04:45] 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. [04:45] hi [04:45] oi [04:45] ola [04:45] caras [04:45] a google hit for 'ubuntu boot repair' showed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [04:45] algum brasileiro?

[04:46] very first link on..... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows === wesayers is now known as enchilado [04:47] Wow I really miss lilo. [04:48] i miss lilo - like i miss a toothache === saban is now known as sponzor [04:50] Oh yikes, /boot seems to be full. [04:51] heh/ my /boot/abi-3.2.0-23-generic partion is like 5 gb.. it rarely gets full [04:51] oops. ;) tabcompletion [04:51] i do keep iso files in it. [04:51] For some reason the installer made it 228M, and it's full. [04:51] And I can't boot, update initramfs, or anything. [04:51] i don't even know what I can delete. [04:51] the installer dosent make a seperate /boot/ partition as far as ive ever seen [04:52] but i rarely mess with server installs either [04:52] 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] 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] Dr_Willis, would it help if I pastebin the output? [04:54] So Dr_Willis- Where am I supposed to find that grub-fix-utility ? [04:54] dmesg [04:54] undecim: I'm thinking that the user whose homedir that is has to be logged in for the files to be accessible. [04:55] fhd: I am [04:55] Aethrs: the boot-repair is a gui tool you can install, i normally just need to use the grub-install command. [04:55] undecim: Hm, I was pretty sure they got mounted on login. [04:55] fhd: In fact, that's where I'm running this chat from. sftp works just fine. [04:55] my /boot/ is taking up 50mb right now [04:55] fhd: They get mounted, but as a FUSE filesystem. The nfs-kernel-server doesn't read it. [04:56] undecim: Can root see the files? True on my system. [04:56] fhd: Yes, but not nfs [04:56] undecim: Oh, no idea then, sorry. [04:56] I'm thinking I need to install a userspace NFS server.... [04:56] undecim: I thought NFS was user space :P [04:57] fhd: Not the one in the ubuntu repos, lol [04:57] i think theres like 2 differnt nfs serverws in the repos [04:57] !nfs [04:57] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [04:57] Dr_Willis: I only see nfs-kernel-server.... Google finds nfs-user-server for Hardy.... 4 years behind for me [04:57] ones in the kernel - so its faster [04:58] So it's something like grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/vda [04:58] ? [04:58] -root would be a path to a mounted directory not a deivce i belive [04:58] unless you are using a weird mountpointnasme ;) [04:58] Manual page says "--root-directory=DIR" [04:59] or i am reading the word wrapped command formated badly on irc' [04:59] i cant recall if you wantg /mnt/ or /mnt/boot/ [05:00] if your /boot/ is on its own partition. it mayy want just that dir. [05:01] Dr_Willis, i added it to the end and it didnt work [05:02] my head is exploding [05:02] !ot > chrislu5tic [05:02] chrislu5tic, please see my private message [05:02] harris_: i have the attention span of a newt.. and no idea what you are refering to [05:03] Dr_Willis, remember the code not automatic [05:03] 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] so you made me add it to a document [05:03] no clue harris_ ... [05:03] well it didnt work [05:03] Well, grub-install under chroot can't find the device. Under the installer shell the command doesn't exist. [05:04] Aethrs: i used grub-install without chrooting [05:04] From rescue mode on the CD? [05:04] not sure about the instsaller shell. could be its as limited shell [05:04] Dr_Willis- Then exactly what kind of shell should I use? [05:04] i use the desktop-live cd normally [05:04] Okay, I'll go download that.. [05:05] can someone help me [05:05] vexaxv: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noacpi" [05:05] Harris: check the history command to see what they were [05:05] Harris, with what [05:05] Harris: or the channel logs [05:05] harris_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:05] Aethrs: there is a custom boot-repair live-cd also thats ubuntu+ the boot-repair tool [05:05] Is that on the ubuntu website? [05:06] its on the boot-repaur url i pasted earlier i think.., [05:06] Im not sure if you MUST use 64bit for a 64bit repair.. but id think it would be a good idea [05:06] I can't chroot without 64-bit. [05:06] Aethrs, run the create bootinfo and paste it to a pastebin https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [05:06] And maybe I wont' use that, but it's kinda handy [05:07] https://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/files/ [05:07] seems its not based on a ubuntu cd. but does 64 and 32both from one cd. neat trick [05:08] 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] a must stick in yopur toolboxx sort of tool [05:08] Madpilot: theres exxtra indicator-applets you can get. askubuntu.com had a huge list of them all at one time [05:08] hey, is it possible to shutdoen tt7 (x-server) and only run on tty1 (for example) - to save some batter? [05:08] *shutdown [05:09] Downloading that iso and transferring it to the server. [05:09] Dr_Willis, do they tuck into the Unity sidebar, or up in the notification area? [05:09] TobsCore: sudo service lightdm stop [05:10] Madpilot: indicator applet = top right [05:10] Dr_Willis: Thanks [05:10] the old notiffication are = is a single indicator applet - i belive.. [05:10] Dr_Willis, so up in the notification area. cool. [05:11] its not the notification area. ;) its the indicator-applet area [05:11] hi there everyone [05:11] Dr_Willis, close enough. :) [05:11] finally into linux so I can irc [05:11] 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] untill they totally remove that oold notification area.. [05:12] 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] 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] 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] Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't think it will boot next time I restart it. [05:12] laumonier, #slitaz is your channel [05:12] 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?? [05:13] Namely flash and java [05:18] can someone help me install ubuntu on a new os? im having trouble installing this and another os on this new pc i just bought === enchilado is now known as jeb_ [05:18] what i keep getting is "CDBOOT: Couldn't find NTLDR" [05:19] lymon, the other OS is windows? with the ntldr error? === jeb_ is now known as enchilado [05:19] there is no os currently on there [05:19] lymon, the other OS you are trying to install... [05:19] oh the other os im trying to install its some os i found on warez [05:20] hey I want to make kdm as default login manager, I have installed kdm [05:20] #chile [05:20] Windows Mac OS Pro Xp 2012 [05:20] #ubuntu-es [05:20] lymon, whats the OS [05:20] join #ubuntu-es [05:20] which is the configuration file which starts the daemon during booting process in ubunbtu? [05:21] lymon, theres not such an OS [05:21] then what did i just download....? [05:21] virus? :| [05:21] lol maybe [05:21] lymon, this is ubuntu support only. chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:22] yeah i know [05:22] im trying to install ubuntu as well [05:22] but im still getting that error [05:22] lymon, thats not an ubuntu error [05:22] "CDBOOT: Couldn't find NTLDR" [05:22] what is it then? [05:22] what command do i type to switch channels [05:22] are negros allowed to use Ubuntu? [05:22] lymon, no idea. dont keep asking here [05:23] 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] how to make kdm as the default login manager ?? [05:25] I have installed kdm [05:25] manish411 "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm" [05:25] rune this [05:25] *run [05:25] ok [05:26] so what exactly will it do? [05:26] are negros allowed to use ubuntu? [05:26] it will give you an option to choose from various dms [05:26] 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] ok got it [05:26] manish411: asks what *dm to use [05:26] after selecting '64 bit' [05:26] ViveElNorte, only warning. Behave. [05:26] Dr_Willis: Exactly! [05:27] Madpilot wtf are you talking about? are negros allowed to use ubuntu? that was my question! [05:27] now can somebody answer it! [05:27] :\ [05:28] 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] There's 3 little mysterious icons to the lower-left... But this thing doesn'ta ctually seem to do anything. [05:28] laumonier: md5sum has a -c filename option i recall [05:29] ive got to create a files with the md5? [05:29] or some option to use a md5sum file [05:29] I've installed amd64 kubuntu and have 4 GB physical memory. But, free commands shows 3824 MB total. What's wrong? [05:29] you download the sum file from the site you get the files [05:29] -c, --check read MD5 sums from the FILEs and check them [05:29] hanibana: sounds about normal to me. [05:30] the site where i get just give me the md5 not a files so i have to create a file? [05:30] in a text === Whiskey- is now known as Whiskey [05:30] Do the md5sums in the files need to be in the same order? [05:30] laumonier: guess so. ubuntu ftp sit has a single sum file with a dozen+ file/sums in it [05:30] Aprel: no, per-file md5 sums are per-file [05:30] its a simple file format, filename sumname (if i recall) [05:32] from what ive seen - if the md5sum fails, then its normally a Very differnt sum. ;) [05:32] lubuntu [05:33] hey guys if i switch to gnome 3 on ubuntu instead of unity will it be faster or slower [05:33] I personally don't notice a big change [05:33] vexaxv: seemed sbout the same to me [05:34] Dr_Willis, k but it doesent use compiz does it [05:35] gnome-shell uses mutter i thunk. [05:35] vexaxv: which machine is this? [05:35] just out of curiousity, what DE is everyone using here? Gnome classic, here [05:35] L3top, my laptop ubuntu 12.04 [05:35] UncleSlippyFist: not a poll channel [05:35] sorry [05:36] L3top, just trying to get the extra little fps boost for games and i figured being it wasent using compiz..

[05:43] ntldr = a common windows error message [05:44] wena [05:44] vola! [05:44] how so? all ubuntu said for install was copy .iso and put in flash [05:44] lymon: you just put the iso on the usb as a file? whats the contents of the usb now? [05:44] 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] a la conchesumadre con esta gua! [05:45] Dr_Willis: Probably something along the lines of ubuntu12.04_amd64.iso [05:45] their response is simply "that is no longer supported" vexaxv [05:45] ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso [05:45] L3top, well i could always download from amd's site [05:45] but RS/RV 6xx-8xx are explicitly not supported.

I only have succes with pendrivelinux every now and then, while UNetbootin has always worked and is also slightly easier to understand. [05:47] Good morning. [05:47] 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] unetbootin for a long time couldent do a persistant save file, or use grub2 ..notsure of its featuers now [05:48] L3top, would i get better performance if i downloaded from amd's site as opposed to the proprietary restricted drivers? [05:49] 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] 16gb flash drive with 16 differnt disrtos ;) [05:49] 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] brb [05:50] I am checking vexaxv, but the proprietary restricted is what you would download from their site...

[05:55] I installed Ubuntu on my SSD, but Windows is ever since completely preventing from anything but itself to boot [05:55] yeah the ip works but not the hostname [05:55] dj__: dirty fix. edit /etc/hosts and have the hotsname map to the ip# ;) [05:55] i think theres a better fix.. but i always use static ips on my home lan [05:56] ok then what if the ip is a dynamic ip given by the dhcp [05:56] i set my dhcp server to always assign ip based on mac.. so the boxs get the same ip. [05:56] any new machines get a higher range of ip#'s [05:56] well unfortunately my house mate set it up and wont change the settings [05:57] smbtree or findsmb can slso show the host and ip# [05:57] taske a hammer to it.. ;) [05:57] i wish i could take one to him [05:57] or just set your server to use a static ip [05:58] he says it takes ages to access when its static ip set [05:58] ive alsays had issues with nautilus not working by hostname, but did by ip# [05:58] hes wrong..

[05:59] without having to configure anything really [05:59] realgod: 12.04 lts [05:59] nautilus has issues with hostnames.. theres some service i recall tht helps it.. but i never use it [05:59] iceroot: talking about enabling & disabling the nv-part? [05:59] fidel_: automaticly enabling/disabling [05:59] realgod: whatever version you want. [05:59] iceroot: k - still have mine auto-disabled [06:00] fidel_: until 3.0 there was a memory leak in the main-kernel and so they disabled the auto-feature [06:00] am i stuck using nautilus in 12.04 [06:00] !info smb4k [06:00] smb4k (source: smb4k): Samba (SMB) share advanced browser for KDE.

[06:03] thank you all [06:03] 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] iceroot: i dont need the nv-part of the gfx on linux anyways [06:04] 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] 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] 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] dj__: samba is just screwy at time [06:05] all other install attempts failed pretty fast using debian & ubuntu ;) [06:05] fidel_: i hope i dont need some hacks to start it on my new laptop [06:05] ok cause ive been working on it for over 24 hours [06:06] nice to know it will work eventually XD [06:06] fidel_: but thank you for the info about the option [06:06] dj__: or die withiut notice [06:06] ok yay guess ill look forward to that === arizona_bay is now known as Guest83807 [06:07] dj__: learn ssh and scp ;) === Guest83807 is now known as xx [06:07] ok how hard is that to learn as i struggle with javascript [06:08] vexaxv: I am correct, ATI dropped support of the HD 2000-4000 series after 12-5... [06:08] ssh more imporntant then js [06:08] i understand but how complex of a language is it === deejay31|Offline is now known as deejay31 [06:08] 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] vexaxv: Trying to find the tech note on ATIs site... but it is noted all over bug reports. [06:08] its not a language [06:08] L3top, 12-5? === griselda is now known as spex971 [06:09] ok [06:09] vexaxv: ATI version === deejay31 is now known as deejay31|Offline [06:09] looks like its back to colledge for me [06:09] !ssh [06:09] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage.

[06:10] vexaxv: luck [06:10] :) [06:10] wow all of this to use ubuntu on my home pc as a windows replacement XD [06:10] but im sold to it Xd [06:10] soo wtf do i do now haha [06:11] my lilo doesnt work on xbuntoo [06:11] im on most linuxhelp channels [06:11] ssh is for more then ubuntu === dbum is now known as dbummy [06:11] i cant seem to find the problems [06:11] lsblk [06:11] now [06:11] 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] L3top, i had flickering issues in 11.10 [06:12] L3top, there gone now [06:12] dj__: ssh is the most important and the most usefull tool in GNU/Linux, UNIX, something that is complety missing on windows [06:12] iceroot: thumbsup! [06:13] so what language is terminal using as in windows command prompt uses dos [06:13] dj__: bash [06:13] !bash | dj__ [06:13] dj__: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

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] 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] I have tried to ssh to a blackbuntu machine and the connection is refused... [06:18] chigybuntu: maybe ssh is not running on the server [06:18] chigybuntu: or the port is not forwarded [06:18] L3top, thats what i mean it would be nice to see some list like that === deejay31|Offline is now known as deejay31 === aivaras is now known as vataitau [06:19] 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?

[06:30] I've downloaded ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso file. I want to use it on Virtual Box on Windows Host.

[06:37] I just shutdown my ligthdm and run in tty and I only got 2:30h of battery life [06:37] TobsCore: could have several reasons - analyzing what eats the most right now is a good way from my point of view [06:37] 12:04 [06:37] *12-04 [06:37] HI!

[07:08] Dr_Willis, me neither I will see a person on occcasion who runs them long enough and does upgrades fill it [07:08] enclosed: it fitsf [07:09] thats fine, that had nothing to do with my speaking of interest in aircrack and such and you saying people need other hobbies.

[07:11] 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] neokya: that wouldent make sence. since a upgrade would be to fix bugs normally [07:12] neoark, you just want to watch out for partial upgrades. [07:12] 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] enclosed: external usb enclosure is what i normally use. [07:13] but if the pc boots - live cd with a little disrto and use ssh [07:13] Dr_Willis: what if i don't have any of that and am on a tight budget.. samba server maybe? [07:13] samba is a pain at times [07:13] Ok. Thanks a lot. [07:13] Dr_Willis: what about konqeror with fish:// protocol? [07:13] i got a universial usb adaptor for hard drives. ;) can do ide/sata/laptop ide. [07:13] fish is ssh/scp i think [07:14] Dr_Willis: what is the technical term for that adapter? [07:14] universal usb adaptor ;0 [07:14] what the box says [07:14] cost me $20 [07:14] even has a power supply [07:14] Dr_Willis: and with that i can hook up both ide and sata hard disk to my computer? [07:15] it can do any type of hd.. except scsi ;) [07:15] ide, sata, laptop [07:15] not all at the same time. ;) [07:16] brb. gotta swap batteries [07:16] Dr_Willis: i will definitely be investing in one of those, thanks for the tip [07:18] 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 === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [07:21] k === chris_ is now known as Guest12534 [07:23] ? [07:28] i am full of problems :( new issue installed it all and now after the initial install reboot i get nothing but blackscreen :/ [07:31] is this a good channel to ask ubuntu server questions in? [07:31] 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] ten minutes of waiting and still black screen :/ [07:34] lukicat: tft monitor? [07:36] how do i check the version of a library [07:36] it shows the ubuntu purple color and then blackscreen forever [07:37] iceroot: yes, laptop display [07:37] lukicat: then you dont have to set a framrate [07:37] how to minimise the size of the ubuntu [07:37] hmm [07:37] lukicat: tft displays dont have a framerate like the old monitors [07:37] but the screen is flickering?! [07:38] morning all [07:39] 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] no flickering just straight up blank [07:40] oh.... thought someone was asking me :P [07:40] Hi guys, do you know anything about high load in 12.04? [07:43] kindly clarify this query ..... " how to minimise the overall size of ubuntu" [07:43] ideas by anyone? [07:44] hello [07:47] DO you have a friend from china ? [07:48] no, but is this a offering of peace and friendship from you? [07:54] heh [07:54] da_kaktus: can you use top to try and determine what "may" be raising your loads? [07:57] guessing not [07:57] any ideas on mine? [07:58] im reinstalling for a third time at the moment :P [07:59] did each reinstall end in that place? with a blank screen? [08:00] yeah after it had me do the reinstall and then i had to unplug it [08:00] ? [08:00] You had to unplug it? [08:00] Can anyone see why this crontab wouldn't work? -- http://pastebin.com/q9Xjc24N [08:00] Sounds like a kernel panic [08:00] I diagnose kernel panics with my keyboard [08:00] hmm... [08:00] If you press caps lock and the light doesn't light up it was a kernel panic [08:01] your talking to me right battery? [08:01] *sbattey [08:01] and no the capslock doesnt work :/ [08:01] yes [08:02] are you at the screen of your system? [08:02] Either the driver didn't get loaded or you have a kernel panic [08:02] hmm.. [08:02] so what do i do now? === SETKEHSCAT is now known as setkeh [08:02] Your first order of business is to boot into a safe mode and find your logs [08:02] right on [08:02] is grub loading? [08:02] this is a pc i just bought and everything was wiped [08:02] and no it is not [08:02] i think there is a missing link [08:03] kernel panic in my experience logs to the screen [08:03] does anyone know this error W: Failed to fetch http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/InRelease [08:04] this is a fresh install [08:04] did you install grub? [08:04] To the mbr? [08:04] mbr? [08:04] is grub does;'t boot you're pretty much screwed I think [08:04] master boot record [08:04] ill be honest i dont know any linux terms [08:04] it is an install option [08:04] mbr is a computer term [08:04] do you have a live cd? [08:04] when i reinsert cd it shows it [08:04] ok [08:05] and when you boot the drive it does nothing? [08:05] If your live CD booted and worked fine but your computer won't boot you have a grub issue [08:05] well - [08:05] grub is a bootloader [08:05] yeah nothing comes after its installed [08:05] shows "what"? [08:05] after it is installed [08:05] at some point in the install it should have talked about this, [08:05] hello. under ubuntu server with xorg installed and XBMC the performnace of XBMC is sluggish unless I startx as root [08:05] just a purple screen for a second then it dissapears [08:06] ok.. [08:06] Dr_Willis: i'm out for the night, thanks for the tips. good night [08:06] so technically it sounds like your doing grub [08:06] ideas on what to do.... or is it a hardware issue? [08:06] ylmon, when you boot do you get a black and white box with options in it? [08:06] as afaik thats the only thing that turns the screen purple [08:06] it sounds like you may have a video driver issue possibly at lymon [08:06] no sbattery just a black screen [08:06] lymon, how did you install a cd or usb flash? [08:06] cd [08:07] you need to boot ubuntu from grub into the safe mode and figure oiut your graphics issue [08:07] 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] exactly [08:07] the right answer.. [08:07] lymon, you chose install to the hard drive? [08:07] yeah its installed to the hd [08:07] grub is loading if his screen is purple [08:08] when it's trying to switch resolutions for GUI mode - it seems its going black? [08:08] hold shift while you boot, see if you get the grub screen [08:08] ubuntu is trying to boot if his screen is purple [08:08] right - [08:08] exactly [08:08] lymon, so what happens when you boot? [08:08] meaning grub ran.. [08:08] he gets black screen - video issue sounds like to me [08:08] as in? [08:08] especially if the live cd vid works [08:08] yes, meaning he didn;'t know what grub was when we asked haha [08:08] yeah just that [08:08] =) [08:08] i can do the test and install [08:08] SolarisBoy, I am not asking you please [08:08] grub != worm [08:09] !nomodeset | lymon [08:09] lymon: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [08:09] did i say your name in my comment? [08:09] exactly [08:09] nomodeset - like i been getting to - checking your settings... [08:09] but when i do the hd nothing at all [08:09] yeah i installed it like that [08:09] and nothing :/ === danilo_ is now known as danilos [08:09] if you hold down shift on boot, dont you get a "safe mode" or something? I cant remember [08:09] SolarisBoy, you are not saying anybodies nic welcome to my ignore [08:09] great [08:10] maybe youll stop saying my name then [08:10] genius [08:10] wilee-nilee don;t be a dick [08:10] anyway - lymon - i had this same issue on my last install [08:10] cd works hd doesn't - vid setting are out of wack [08:10] start with nomodeset like thingy told you there [08:11] kk [08:11] hello. under ubuntu server with xorg installed and XBMC the performnace of XBMC is sluggish unless I startx as root [08:11] 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] lymon, there is a safe mode as well in the recovery boot [08:12] 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] 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] stueng: then i used lightdm with xbmc-standalone [08:13] stueng: lightdm is starting pulse, dbus and so on correctly, you are missing pulse and dbus [08:13] lukicat, you now the graphic card? [08:13] iceroot: I dont have a DE, just plain xorg. what is xbmc-standlone ? [08:13] know* [08:13] actually [08:13] 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] ed it, via terminal or whatever [08:13] stueng: xbmc-standalone is an entry in lightdm just like unity, lxde, kde and so on [08:13] wilee-nilee, think its an intel gma, but i dont know exactly [08:13] do you guys think it would make a difference if i used the hdmi port instead of vga for this comp? [08:14] stueng: and your problem is you have plain-x and you are not starting pulse and dbus [08:14] iceroot: I dont want or have lightdm [08:14] stueng: then start pulse, dbus and so on [08:14] is it worth reading the "debian user handbook" if i'm running a ubuntu system? (thought i never used debian) [08:14] iceroot: ok, so I should install pulse and dbus [08:14] stueng: you also have to start them [08:14] ok, ill have ot reboot to do that.. soooo bbiab, thanks [08:14] iceroot: ok, start then using the service command? [08:14] stueng: i dont see a problem having lightdm + session "xbmc-standalone" with autologin [08:14] lymon: why uze vga wgen you got hdmi? [08:14] vexaxv, checkout playing around to remove the full gnome-shell http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ [08:14] stueng: you will not see lightdm then [08:15] iceroot: sounds good, ill try it [08:15] stephanmg: yes [08:15] iceroot: so I will install lightdm, pulse, dbus and then edit lightdm.cfg to make my default session xbmc-standalone ? [08:15] umm [08:16] i put this at my desktop stand and not at my tv stand [08:16] stueng: correct [08:16] so should i try that then? [08:16] iceroot: ok, bbiab then, reboot [08:16] 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] kk, try to update everything, wilee-nilee [08:17] 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] gah [08:17] lukicat, the additional drivers many times has the drivers needed if not getting auto installed. [08:17] i think im going to try and use it on hdmi port [08:18] does anybode use awesome wm here??? [08:18] ill brb then since old pc is currently on tv [08:18] iceroot, thanks for the workaround. gonna try it, if driver updates wont work [08:18] 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] err actulaly brb if i still get issues [08:19] 'quiet splash' ;) [08:19] sure... though moving the pc to fix this is non optimal [08:20] how much does the file system differ when comparing debian and ubuntu? [08:20] the filesystem structure? or the fs? [08:21] both follow the LSB dont they? [08:21] the structure [08:21] !lsb [08:21] The Linux Standard Base, or LSB, is a joint project by several Linux distributions under the organizational structure of The Free Standards Group to standardize the internal structure of Linux-based operating systems. The LSB is based on the POSIX specification, the Single UNIX Specification, and several other open standards, but extends them in certain areas. [08:21] they are about the same [08:21] goddard: both are the same [08:21] 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] goddard: but because of different programs (e.g. upstart) there are different directories too [08:21] right [08:21] or other little customized things ubuntu does things.. [08:24] 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...

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] 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] iceroot: i just thought ubuntu would be completely different and you should not use the debian stuff. [08:28] stephanmg: because they use different software versions and sometimes different methods [08:28] carpi: it goes into the unity panel i thought.. at lessssst it does here [08:28] vexaxv: boot into recovery mode from grub [08:29] ikonia, i did [08:29] Dr_Willis: Im not using Unity actually.. [08:29] stephanmg, ubuntu is basically based on debian, hardly different fundamentally really, just modified and newer packages [08:29] ikonia, now what [08:30] all ubuntu's start at a debian [08:30] vexaxv: install the package as you said [08:30] 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] carpi: sounds like an 'overscan' setting perhps [08:30] 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] Dr_Willis: Genius. Thank you very much. I adjusted the Overscan setting in the NVIDIA X Server Settings.. : ) It worked [08:32] 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] ikonia, it wont let me do anything it trys to boot normal before i can type anything into the root termina [08:32] carpi: i see that when using tv's as monitors [08:32] vexaxv: what do you mean you can't type anything into the root terminal [08:32] enclosed: i dont even rember the original issue [08:33] 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] with Hungarian locale, in the main window of claws-mail, I can see absolutely strange date: "2012.54.23.(Sze) 12:54" [08:33] vexaxv: how are you trying to enable networking ? [08:33] what is wrong? other programs (like mc), seems OK. [08:33] 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] ikonia, with the enable networking option then pressing ctrl alt delete to go back [08:34] to click root [08:34] Dr_Willis: yea.. im using a flat panel TV as a monitor. However it is working now. Thanks for the hint. [08:34] click root ??? you should just be booting into a root shell, no menu's/gui [08:34] carpi: yep. had exact same issue with a tv as a monitor. [08:34] 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] bbl [08:35] 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] lukicat, had you installed drivers before this change [08:36] hmm not really, just did a clean installation of ubuntu 12.04 [08:36] vexaxv: recovery mode should not be a deskop/gui [08:37] ikonia, what do u mean [08:37] 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] lol [08:37] 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] 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] vexaxv: when you launch into recovery mode, it should drop you into a shell, not a desktop [08:38] ikonia, it brings me to a menu [08:38] yea i think it does which asks you what you want to do - run fsck etc etc etc [08:38] ikonia, resume clean dpkg failsafex fsck grub network root system-summary [08:38] versi: what are the menu options [08:38] vexaxv: which one are you picking ? [08:38] vexaxv: which option are you selecting ? [08:39] 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] cant even type anything in [08:39] vexaxv: just select "root" [08:39] wilee-nilee: okay, thank you [08:39] 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] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev 06) [08:40] ikonia, k hang on [08:40] wilee-nilee, i think its an known error with this ugly graphic card, going to google it again... [08:40] k im in the terminal now what [08:40] ikonia, how can i turn on the internet via terminal [08:40] vexaxv: now you should be able to install the missing packages [08:40] vexaxv: use the init script [08:40] vexaxv: or manually set it up [08:41] vexaxv: eg: ip or ifconfig [08:41] 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] 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] ifconfig netmask up would work [08:42] ikonia, i never said i did click it i heard what u said, i dont know how to manually do it [08:43] vexaxv: ^ [08:43] im assuming your in a root shell and the user root - else you need to prepend sudo [08:43] brb [08:43] hm, I've just realized that month == minute [08:45] says the package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened [08:45] when i try to install a pkg via terminal [08:46] 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] aloha all :D [08:47] 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] *errors on login, not boot [08:47] how do i connect to another computer via ip on ubuntu 12.04 [08:47] like teamviewer [08:48] you use a connection protocol [08:48] vexaxv: if all you need is a shell, use ssh [08:48] i dont think that would even work.. [08:48] 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] vexaxv: with teamviewr [08:48] !vnc [08:48] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [08:48] 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] thats my problem [08:48] cant* [08:49] umm - did you try to do what they told you vexaxv? [08:49] oh! ye, ubuntu has with vino server but in order to the remote machine you have to open the port 5900 [08:49] which is bring up the interface manually while in safe mode? [08:49] like the ifconfig line previously shown? - or is that you didn't read that? [08:49] SolarisBoy, yes but i dont think i did it properly [08:49] ok - so fix the command it works [08:49] i did ifconfig [08:49] just now [08:50] i need to turn on wlan0 [08:50] again - [08:50] so ummm yeah guys... [08:50] looks like it works when i used the hdmi port [08:50] heh [08:50] vexaxv, to enable a network interface use "ifup wlan0" [08:50] am i all safe? [08:50] hold on as i restart that pc and check [08:51] now... [08:51] lol - cute [08:51] it says unknown interface [08:51] exactly [08:51] gahh [08:51] to install wireless adapter somehow and then ill install wine and DIABLO3 [08:52] vexaxv: im thinking you use network manager? [08:52] this makes me sad though the problem the whole time was not using hdmi [08:52] lymon: thats not the problem really [08:52] are you sure? [08:52] yes [08:52] SolarisBoy, i use it to enable my internet when i can actually use my laptop.. [08:52] everything is running smoothly now [08:52] thats because you swapped to hdmi instead of doing nomodeset [08:52] vexaxv, does wlan0 appear in the output of "ifconfig"? [08:52] SolarisBoy, wlan0 popped up when i did those command u told me with the ip netmask etc [08:52] so in turn you moved your computer to fix it - non optimal but if it works fine [08:53] well [08:53] gkaklas, no [08:53] it works this way better [08:53] gkaklas, only lo [08:53] vexaxv: ifup is for configured interfaces [08:53] it assumes you have some file that ifup will use [08:53] since what that comp is for is for editing and this monitor is well.... dimmish [08:53] if your using network manager - you dont have that file [08:53] hey everyone [08:54] vexaxv: im assuming you are in the recovery root shell. are you in the shell with networking? [08:54] SolarisBoy, okay so what do i need to do to get the internet working.. [08:54] anyone have any experience with booting 12.04 on a G4 imac ? [08:54] bring up the wlan the same way network manager would [08:54] I try to boot from the cd but the sceen just goes blanc [08:54] vexaxv, then you have to configure the wlan0 interface manually... [08:54] 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] gkaklas, k how [08:55] first is wireless your only option? vexaxv? [08:55] SolarisBoy, yes [08:55] ok - then carry on [08:56] 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] 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] fizyplankton, i have ubuntu on a usb [08:56] vexaxv: is the broken ubuntu on the usb? [08:56] fizyplankton, no its a new copy [08:57] vexaxv: then if you just deleted a folder, boot live from the usb and copy it [08:57] fizyplankton, i deleted the pkg via synaptic [08:57] or you can boot the cd mount the drive and chroot into it [08:57] now thats an idea. [08:57] vexaxv: boot into normal mode, login at console, install your package [08:57] hello everyone, is this the right place to ask a question about ubuntu one? [08:57] vexaxv, could you repeat your problem with gnome..? [08:57] 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] vexaxv: why do you use recovery mode with all its limitations for this? [08:58] i accidentally deleted gnome-session [08:58] llutz_: its not that simple [08:58] fizyplankton: it is [08:58] llutz_: problem being setting up his wireless is a task for a beginner [08:58] so when i try to login theres nothing not kdm gnome unity [08:58] nothin [08:58] 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] SolarisBoy: nmcli exists [08:58] its true [08:58] vexaxv: console-login not X [08:58] vexaxv: boot, pres alt-ctrl-f1, login [08:59] let see if that works..... [08:59] vexaxv, what does come up when you boot? [08:59] llutz_: that is tty1 right? [08:59] jstoone: yes [08:59] llutz_: thanks [08:59] jstoone: line above was not meant for you [09:00] i can boot normal and it goes to the login screen [09:00] but when u switch from unity to gnome [09:00] that little ubuntu button [09:00] vexaxv: boot, pres alt-ctrl-f1, login [09:00] on the login screen [09:00] theres nothing [09:00] im trying llutz [09:00] * SolarisBoy yawns [09:00] vexaxv: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:00] !enter > vexaxv [09:00] vexaxv, please see my private message [09:00] llutz_: sorry, my bad, i needs to be executed each time i boot [09:00] llutz_, it just beeps nothing happens [09:01] llutz_: have to go, but thanks! [09:01] vexaxv: press "ALT-CTRL-F2" [09:01] jstoone: line above was not meant for you, i havent answered to your problem [09:02] llutz, beeps again then nothing [09:02] vexaxv: then you have way more problems than just a removed package [09:02] llutz, wait it opped up then disappeared [09:02] hang on [09:02] 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] i love those sysrq combos =) super old school [09:03] i know right! [09:03] lols ;> [09:03] unfortunatly, i frequantly have to use REISUB because my xorg.conf is a nightmare [09:04] and i refuse to try to clean it up because it took me 14 solid hours to get it working [09:04] yea - sounds like me - i haven't touched anything named xorg. in a long time - my box works lol [09:04] fizyplankton it;s not just your xorg.conf that is a nightmare….the entire x system is a nightmare [09:04] I say we cleanse it with fire. [09:04] how to move the close buttons etc to the right in ubuntu 12.04 lts [09:04] i think its more so what people do with x to break it [09:05] lol [09:05] X is flawed for what it's used for. [09:05] sbattey: get this. i cant use xrandr. im stuck bridging 2 physical graphics cards across 4 monitors with.....wait for it........XCINERAMA [09:05] oh heck nah [09:05] Sounds raunchy. [09:06] how to let ubuntu 12.04 look like e.g. 11.10? [09:06] ?? [09:06] assuming you have what DE setup? [09:06] lukicat: do you mean classic gnome? [09:06] yes [09:06] 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] k i got it to work and im in the terminal again but this time when i type ifconfig eth0 pops up [09:06] im sure the macro link is just a coming,, give it a sec.. [09:07] how do i enable it so i can download the pkgs [09:07] fizyplankton: madness !! lol [09:07] I only get 2d option in login...i don't think you can get gnome in ubuntu 12.04 [09:07] pbx2, u can [09:07] vexaxv: thats not hte command i gave you =) [09:07] vexaxv, how? [09:07] ifconfig lists interfaces - more options/arguments convfigures them [09:07] SolarisBoy, okay what do i do solaris [09:07] 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] look into nmcli thing that llutz mentioned [09:08] its likely you best option [09:08] pbx2, synaptic, install gnome-session [09:08] && no internet in safe more - wlan only interface - configured via nm - sounds like llutz_ hit it on the head to me.. [09:08] so its not possible to move the close buttons to the right with unity? [09:09] Hi pbx2! You can use myUnity or Ubuntu tweak [09:09] !controls | pbx2 [09:09] pbx2: Starting in Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information and workarounds, please see http://pad.lv/532633 [09:09] llutz, im trying to connect to ballhome so how do i type it [09:10] iceroot, the bug link has way too many comments to go through [09:10] as in the network? ballhome? if you bring up the interface via nm [09:10] pbx2: there is one command with gconf [09:10] vexaxv: "ballhome" is given under NAME when you run "nmcli con"? [09:10] it would automatically look for you remembered networks afaik [09:10] i think thats the SSID he wants in on [09:10] llutz, yes [09:11] iceroot, do we press alt + f2 to go to gconf [09:11] pbx2: gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close" [09:11] vexaxv: nmcli con id "ballhome" up [09:11] pbx2: type that in a terminal [09:11] iceroot, thanks. it works :) [09:12] llutz, says error con and id are not valid [09:12] is the interface up? [09:12] im sitting looking at my nmcli con output and i see my wireless nets from home [09:12] pbx2: it was the first entry in the bug :) [09:12] vexaxv: err* nmcli con up id "ballhome" [09:13] says device not managed by network manager [09:13] SolarisBoy: those are the connection-names from networkmanager, not necessarily ssids === oppenguin is now known as oppenguins [09:13] can someone help me install a wireless adapter then i should be out of your hairs for a while :P [09:13] i setup that network thats the ssid [09:13] ballhome [09:13] vexaxv: try this please: 'nmcli con status' [09:13] lymon: is it a broadcom adapter? [09:13] and tell or post what comes back [09:13] those are ssids [09:14] nothing is listed llutz [09:14] in the status command? [09:14] just says name uuid devices default vpm master-path [09:14] not sure but its a linksys wusb100 [09:14] so no interfaces are up [09:14] doesent look like it i guess [09:15] my internet icon on my laptop is red [09:15] not blue [09:15] vexaxv: nmcli -p dev [09:15] so id say no [09:15] 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] iceroot: it doesn't work for Firefox? [09:15] vexaxv: does it show wlan0? [09:15] eth0 and wlan0 llutz [09:15] yes [09:15] pbx2: working for all programs [09:15] lymon: you are in luck. mine is a linksys wusb300n. the procedures should be similar (tho you wont like it one bit [09:15] maybe I need to restart... [09:16] alright then so whats up....? [09:16] nmcli nm enable wifi [09:16] let me see if the kernal patch is compatible with your card [09:16] that may be what you all are looking to do.. [09:16] how do i turn on wlan0 through nmcli [09:17] as in graphics card? [09:17] 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] bad news with that lol.... my graphics card shows up as unknown [09:17] wifi card [09:17] oic [09:17] this is best handled in a pm [09:18] vexaxv: the wlan is seen if it shows in print devices - have you tried that enable thing? [09:18] 'nmcli nm enable wifi' [09:18] hello.

[09:25] 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.

[09:25] hard for hp wifi [09:25] phy0 hard [09:25] and I don't like the file and menu options being merged with the top bar [09:25] vexaxv: does your laptop have any key-combos/switches to en-/disable wifi? [09:26] the [09:26] eul3r: Do you have any ubuntu support related question? [09:26] the touch button on my laptop but it wont work when i touch it [09:26] is it possible to have separate windows, where options are not merged with taskbar?

[09:29] thank u guys [09:29] gotta wait and make sure it works now.. [09:29] hello I was wondering in which package is the default ubuntu background present - purple wallpaper [09:29] 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 [09:30] did ubuntu 12.x go 3d? [09:30] Hola [09:30] 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] cryptfu: no [09:31] woohoo it worked thanks guys [09:31] CrypticS_: ^ [09:31] BlouBlou: screenie coming dropbox is stuffing up.. hold on [09:31] 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. [09:31] loculinux: hi [09:32] is there some hotkey for workspace switcher? [09:33] !workspace [09:33] BlouBlou: https://www.dropbox.com/s/914wzb4if7gcexh/screenshot.png [09:33] / [09:33] Hello dido [09:33] pungi-man, that doesn't work [09:33] CrypticS_: interesting, I have never seen how to enable it [09:34] configure it in Compiz settings [09:34] anyways, no 3D glasses :P [09:34] BlouBlou: just did the standard upgrade and that's how it rebooted [09:35] hey, my wifi stopped working after upgrade to 12.04 [09:35] pungi-man, where is the Compiz settings? === georgee is now known as glioros [09:35] i can't see wlan0 in iwconfig [09:35] type ccsm in unity home [09:35] and sudo modprobe iwlwifi shows not found [09:35] any ideas? [09:36] pungi-man, no matches [09:38] mayanks43: "modprobe -l iwl*" [09:39] llutz_: FATAL: Can't have multiple wildcards [09:39] mayanks43: "modprobe -l iwl\*" [09:40] llutz_: http://pastebin.com/aUeqFNWB [09:40] 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] mayanks43: uname -r [09:41] llutz_: 3.3.6 [09:41] 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] mayanks43: check changelogs for 3.3.x then. 3.2.x has come with iwlwifi, no idea why 3.3. doesn't [09:42] ok [09:42] I tried to install suphp and Browser starts downloading PHP files any ideas? [09:42] 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] mayanks43: or does iwlegacy replace it now? idk [09:42] 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] llutz_: not sure [09:43] 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] 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] mayanks43: what wifi-chipset? [09:44] pbx2: to a router/gateway/patchfield [09:44] Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6230 AGN [09:44] will like a simple network switch work as a router? [09:44] because there are many computers [09:44] routers only have 4 ports [09:44] pbx2: switches exist [09:45] you connect a cable from the router to the switch and connect the computers to the switch [09:45] mayanks43: modinfo iwlegacy shows only 3945/4965 as suported with 3.2.x [09:46] zparta, so everything gets connected to the switch right? i.e. isp connection, file server, all the computers? [09:46] isp in the router [09:46] llutz_: same here [09:46] on th wan port [09:46] 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] mayanks43: i'd check kernel-changelogs then [09:46] 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] llutz_: k [09:47] eul3r: 1 option is ssh-in and use the shutdown cmd === jimmy_lo is now known as jimmy_lo_cheng_f [09:47] anyone using 12.04 lts with gnome panels? [09:47] 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] are gnome panels in official repos still? [09:47] fidel_: i can't do anything. Ubuntu doesnt respond to keypress. [09:47] zparta, thanks, and does it matter which kind of switch I buy? like there are unmanaged and managed switches? [09:48] 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] 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] 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] eul3r: as alternative idea - try pressing: CTRL + ALT + F1 (if you are used to tty) [09:49] 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] just an fyi =) [09:49] fidel_: ctrl+alt+f1 doesnt work === jimmy_lo_cheng_f is now known as jimmy_lo_chien_f [09:50] hey, is HUD implemented in Ubuntu 12.04? [09:50] and if so, how can I trigger it? [09:51] 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] TobsCore: when you have a program open, hit the alt key [09:52] yeats, thanks :) [09:53] hold down SUPER key to show keybindings for unity [09:53] SolarisBoy: great..it perfectly works. thanks, great support. [09:53] sure buddy ;> [09:53] fidel_: I get network error : connection timed out. [09:53] Dr_Willis: nice - I didn't know that [09:54] yeats: time to check out some new features in 12.04 sites/guides ;) [09:55] pbx2: does not matter in a small scale network [09:55] Dr_Willis: yeah - just haven't bothered :-) [09:55] Hyperbyte: your smb.conf wouldn't have changed at all would it have? [09:55] 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] Guys, can I re-connect to same x-session after a disconnect? I am using xrdp (on server) and remmina to connect [09:55] Hyperbyte: also specifically which ldap? microsoft AD "ldap" or a real implementation of ldap like openLDAP? [09:55] SolarisBoy, I've changed some things. I don't think the problem is in smb.conf though. [09:56] SolarisBoy, 389 directory server. :) [09:56] eul3r: mh - if it doesnt react on CTRL+ALT+F1 nor to a ssh-connect you havent that much options left [09:56] SolarisBoy: ohhh nice =) indeed [09:56] I'll provide you with a full log file of what happens. [09:56] Hello, i wanna do compilation for applications from source in ubuntu... what should i prepare for that? [09:56] uh oh - [09:56] zparta: appreciate the information. thanks. :) [09:56] 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] *help* [09:56] Hyperbyte: j.p ill take a look - no promises - im in the office =) [09:56] !compile | Malsasa [09:56] Malsasa: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall [09:56] if it's jumping out and stabbing me ill tell you about it though [09:56] !checkinstall | Malsasa [09:56] Malsasa: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [09:57] I am using PuTTY for ssh . I just need to type in ip address right fidel_ ? [09:57] wow, thank you. [09:57] I dont know it before... [09:57] eul3r: i am not using putty myself - but yeah: defining protocol and host ip should be everything you need to do afaik [09:58] so back to my 3D ubuntu problem.. anyone seen it before? [09:58] putty should ask for the user afterwards afaik [09:58] 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] Search for the text "primary group" to jump to the interesting part [09:58] ahh [09:59] i swear i saw that before.. hmm [09:59] 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] 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] 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] kippy: try reconnecting yet? its possible the x-session closed and you cant reconnect [10:00] silly question your nsswitch didn't change? [10:00] SolarisBoy, mmm... [10:01] 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] Well yes actually [10:01] mmhmm interesting [10:01] Rather than specify "ldap files" it now says "files ldap" [10:01] swap it back? [10:01] and try that again [10:01] no restarts should be needed . [10:01] Will try. [10:01] kk [10:02] SolarisBoy, no change. [10:02] is there a command to mannually delete logs with logograte rather than set a cron ? [10:02] Im looking at a blade station that can offer 1TB in DDR3 RAM. [10:02] oy [10:02] 16 cores [10:03] Im wondering if the linux kernel supports such large RAM memory access [10:03] what type of blade station? [10:03] georgee: logrotate [10:03] just curious - vendor etc. [10:03] Hyperbyte: going to actually look at the log now.. [10:03] SolarisBoy: DELL power edge R 910 [10:04] llutz_: the location of config-file?

[10:07] and from what i recall it could be related to some thing deep in the user setting or group setting [10:07] SolarisBoy, yeah, but their solution is delete and remake the account in Zimbra.

But on the Samba server Unix group 1500 exists (via LDAP) [10:23] alFReD-NSH: i imagine the success rate of that working - can be rather random [10:23] Dr_Willis: `doctype 5` was a unique string in the files, so yeah that worked :) [10:23] 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] I am using mendeley desktop currently but i wanna know if there are better options available ! [10:23] 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] SolarisBoy, nope. [10:25] 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] cheers [10:26] fun stuff [10:26] sirriffsalot: if nouveau shows up in 'lsmod', you'll need to blacklist it for your nvidia driver to work [10:26] !nomodeset | Calyp [10:26] Calyp: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [10:26] 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] I'm quite confident that once Samba assigns the correct primary group, all my problems are over. [10:26] yeats: alright. finally I might actually learn what blacklisting means?:) [10:26] question what if anything changed? did you mention an update? on the samba client? [10:27] SolarisBoy, from 11.04 (Samba 3.5) to 12.04 (Samba 3.6). [10:27] 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] 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] anyone point me to getting ipod 5g 'seen' un 12.04 [10:29] hhello everyone..

[10:36] 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] but turn up the debug lets see anything else occurs - Hyperbyte [10:37] Dr_Willis: as it seems my mainproblem is that OPTIMUS is disabling the nvidia-card while x is starting [10:37] Dr_Willis: i will do some research on that, thank you for the info about nvidia-xconfig [10:37] SolarisBoy - this has changed the problem [10:38] SolarisBoy, are you still here in ~30 minutes?

[10:58] 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] anyone know of something that will monitor my bandwidth use? in real time? nice GUI looking thing? [11:01] uhhh [11:02] waiting for network means you have or may have a slow network [11:02] stueng: nice to hear that [11:02] rather than bandwidth consumption - maybe your getting slow dhcp assignment or something? [11:02] yeats: I tried the command with nouveau, no luck.. nothing pops up, just a new line of "xxxx@xxxx:-#" [11:02] SolarisBoy: I dont want network, I commented out everything in interfaces I want to contorl the network after I boot [11:02] yeats: any other ideas?:) [11:02] but - like you should let interfaces bring up lo and stuff [11:02] stueng: leave lo up dude.. [11:02] chromium still 18, great!!!!! [11:03] yeats: thanks, on another p3 it says thatthe kernel requires a feature missing in the CPU ( pae cmov ) [11:03] yeah ill uncomment lo [11:03] yeats: I don't have the any headers for lowlatency according to synaptic, could that be the reason? [11:03] its sat there waiting for something though... but whatever it is is not in interfaces so where else would it be ? [11:03] stueng: then once you do that ok - sure disable the interfaces.. it really depends _where_ they are managed at [11:03] stueng: network manager maybe? [11:04] stueng: anyway once you get a clean boot - restart network manually and see if it spits a clue on console or logs [11:04] 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] hmm - does that negate anything i mentioned ? [11:05] 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: 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] generally if it's happening dynamically on boot on a ubuntu box - its interfaces or network manager for defaults [11:06] SolarisBoy: right, and how would I configure NM? from the terminal? which file(s)? [11:06] 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] stueng: either or [11:07] I dont have a window manager so I need to do this from terminal [11:07] stueng: most users will default to the applet configuration - but i think you can use the command line the sme [11:07] stueng: ^^ [11:07] stueng: nm-tool i think will atleast print the configs for you [11:07] yeah! [11:08] stueng: rather the interfaces its managing - and their status === Guest10018 is now known as MaNU_ [11:08] SolarisBoy: yeah it spits out a list of SSIDs in range and the status of eth0 [11:08] so there you go === MaNU_ is now known as MaNU__ [11:09] 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] 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] 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] SolarisBoy: for example, in the gui, you can tick a box tha t says "connect automatically" [11:10] SolarisBoy: so what I am looking for is the text based equivilant to unticking that box I guess [11:10] stueng: you need to man the command [11:10] shawny78: you can use "who" or "w" [11:10] man was written to be understandable [11:10] SolarisBoy: its about 3 lines long, the man [11:10] get a tea and read [11:10] thre are more tools in the chain that that [11:10] i showed one [11:10] nmcli is another [11:11] Thanks jrib!! [11:11] 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] 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] 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 === peacedefender is now known as PeaceDefender [11:13] well its under /etc/NetworkManager - but its not as flat as interfaces - ill say that much [11:13] ah thats why I couldnt locate it, capital letters [11:13] who does that [11:13] the people who made network manager...

[11:19] Dr_Willis, how? 19 is released days ago [11:19] doesn't mean it goes in the repo [11:19] in archlinux we start gnome-session through a script called xinitrc which is read by the login manager [11:19] dontknow: so [11:19] 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] 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"...

I retried as root (sudo -i) and it still is giving me this error :S :S [11:20] wtf is going on [11:20] 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] its an "authenticated" session much like how you start ssh-agent etc - in fact i think closely related [11:20] <|DM|> awutnow? [11:20] 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] am using 11.10 [11:22] WhereIsMySpoon: whatsa mounted to /mnt? [11:22] Dr_Willis : what I want at present is to start gnome desktop after i login using kdm [11:22] WhereIsMySpoon: had you recently changed/mounted/unmounted anything? [11:22] SolarisBoy, no [11:23] Dr_Willis, should be a couple of samba servers [11:23] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: how do I get the accompanying dev packages? [11:23] manish411: kdm should remember the last selected desktop session. which gets saved to the users .dmrc file [11:23] WhereIsMySpoon: can you post your /etc/fstab || and the output of 'mount' ? [11:23] ok , so where is this .dmrc file? [11:23] so - wait [11:23] SolarisBoy, sure, min [11:23] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: and how do I know if I need the accompanying libraries?:P [11:23] manish411: in the users home. and kdm should have a menu to select gnome or unity or whatever === matteo is now known as Guest69351 [11:24] 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] [Desktop] [11:24] Language=en_US.utf8 [11:24] Layout=us [11:24] this is my .dmrc file [11:24] manish411: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:24] wompwomp [11:25] ok got it [11:25] etfb: there are cpu indicator applets in the repos, ppas and a list at askubuntu.com for most you would want [11:25] 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] i just installed one from ppa - works fine unity and all (i love my temp/weather indicator too) [11:26] Dr_Willis, fidel_: Thanks. Good leads. I'll follow them up. [11:26] askubuntu.com has a nice list of quicklists, indicator-applets and other nice things === ubuntu is now known as Guest98378 === Guest98378 is now known as sergios [11:27] many are not in the repos yet. but in ppa's [11:27] hot-babe cpu indicator has been removed from the repos [11:27] SolarisBoy, Dr_Willis: http://pastie.org/3960548 [11:27] Did anyone successfully run unity 3d engine in virtual machine on linux ? [11:28] it was at mediabuntu MonkeyDust last week.. been there for years [11:28] 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] 17SAA7XDD: means nothing to me [11:28] 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] WhereIsMySpoon: so how did thoe mounts get there? [11:28] being they aren't in fstab and all.. [11:29] manigma77__: unity3d.com [11:29] WhereIsMySpoon: if possible try to unmount those samba shares and do ls in that /mnt/ directory again? also check your message logs [11:30] samba can be funky sometimes [11:30] 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] abhijitrucks: id guess no [11:31] abhijitrucks what do you mean? a unity downgrade? [11:31] ya [11:31] i hate this new unity [11:31] 17SAA7XDD: i gave you a bot factoid. [11:32] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: riight? [11:32] abhijitrucks use ccsm and myunity to configure unity, both tools are in the repos [11:32] i love the new unity. ;) hud rocks. [11:33] what's that application that pops up when you end out of space ? [11:33] from GNOME, that is [11:33] and, hard disk space (ignore/explore) [11:33] disk usage analyzer? [11:33] 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] out of disk space? [11:33] SolarisBoy: yep, what's the application name to start form console ? [11:33] du? [11:34] =) [11:34] eh [11:34] i dont know the name of that horrible gui thing [11:34] i use du/df and find.. [11:34] ;) [11:34] but if you type the WINDOW key and open the search widget then type disk im sure its indexed properly [11:34] SolarisBoy, message logs? [11:35] found: baobab [11:35] yes [11:35] thanks :) [11:35] baobab? [11:35] what in the world... [11:35] SolarisBoy, unmounting the samba shares using umount, it says the share is not mounted according to mtab [11:35] WhereIsMySpoon: /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog and others - mainly those [11:35] right on [11:35] use -l [11:35] a kind of tree [11:35] seems like you may have a samba _server_ issue [11:35] SolarisBoy, -l did nothing [11:36] being where we are i have to ask [11:36] what did you expect it to do? [11:36] i dont know, i dont know the doc for umount by heart [11:36] you told me to use -l [11:36] umount -l /mount/pint [11:36] then type mount and tell me its there or no? [11:37] SolarisBoy, you mean //mount/folder right? [11:37] or you mean /mnt/folder [11:37] ... [11:37] yes. [11:37] umount -l /mnt/folder gives: umount: it seems /mnt/folder is mounted multiple times [11:37] exactly [11:38] SolarisBoy, "exactly"? [11:38] so - again - what did you do to mount those sambas? [11:38] i see they aren't in fstab [11:38] but they were mounted - and now they seem to be stale [11:38] SolarisBoy, sudo smbmount [11:39] peterlin === pete_ is now known as Guest21535 === Guest21535 is now known as peterlin [11:39] SolarisBoy, sudo smbmount //server/folder /mnt/folderlocation -o user=servergroup\\username,noperm [11:39] yea actually i see it now - if you look at your mount [11:39] its clearly wrong [11:39] your mounting the same things over and over [11:40] SolarisBoy, hm, true [11:40] thats messy. ;) [11:40] SolarisBoy, if they're just mounted via smbmount, i should just restart right? [11:40] you can try to umount the //server/device [11:40] then they'll go away [11:40] well yea that would fix it [11:40] but its linux [11:40] we dont do that... [11:40] but feel free to do M$ moves [11:40] brb [11:40] SolarisBoy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:41] oops sorry forgot about your ratelimiting [11:41] samba mounts can get real confused. [11:41] SolarisBoy, "umount: //server/folder is not mounted (according to mtab)" [11:41] 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] WhereIsMySpoon: you should use the real name [11:41] brb === luizcantoni is now known as cantoni [11:41] SolarisBoy, i am using the real name when i actually do the command [11:42] 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] WaqarAzeem: on server try ssh localhost, to see ssh is working. [11:43] #RFID [11:43] 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] weird then [11:43] jstoone: how do you start xmonad? [11:43] dr_willis: read from socket fail. connection reset by peer [11:43] jstoone: checked the xmonad docs and homepage/faq? [11:44] it's set at the default and lanuches after I type my password. [11:44] WhereIsMySpoon: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/umount.cifs.8.html [11:44] WaqarAzeem: sounds like ssh server is not running or mssconfigured [11:44] jrib: that was for you sorry. [11:44] --no-mtab [11:44] seems like a relevant option huh? [11:44] dr_willis: I will do now, thanks [11:44] 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 " 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] 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] DeltaHeavy same here, same in 12.04, too [11:46] 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] DeltaHeavy, gnome3 is awfully slow [11:46] DeltaHeavy, its the same fo rme [11:46] https://gist.github.com/2780836 << my model [11:46] 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] 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] Unity is also fairly unusable at least in 11.04 for the amount of applications I'm using at one time. [11:47] jrib: it's Xrandr for my dual-screens and it get's reset at every logout. [11:47] SolarisBoy, eh, the servers are actually down [11:47] fidel_: Plain GNOME "Classic". No addons or anything. [11:47] fidel_, i havent customised gnome3 manually [11:47] erm, wrong channel sorry [11:47] LOL, compared to CentOS? Wow you got a real uphill battle there bro [11:47] if it did stuff itself then...*shrug* === sergio is now known as sergios [11:47] 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] jrib: the exact cmd is `xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1366x768 --left-of HDMI1 && xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080` [11:48] CentOS gave me more grief than any other distro (including ubuntu) when it came to sys admin/setup [11:48] uity and gnome-shell both work well on my netbook. perhaps its a video bottleneck [11:48] Unity is awesome, gnome2 is so retarded [11:48] er [11:48] Progster: I use CentOS for server purposes on my headless box and it's never given me a single problem. [11:48] what [11:48] gnome2 >>> gnome3 >>> unity [11:48] jrib: Cool, I'll look into that file right now. [11:49] gnome 2 is dead.. time to move on. [11:49] not when gnome3 is a pile of awful :P [11:49] 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] gnome classic is doing it just fine for me [11:49] Cause CentOS is godly lol [11:49] jrib: That file does not exist in my home dir. i only got ~/.xsession-errors [11:49] gnome classic may be removed in the next few releases also [11:49] morsnowski: How long does it take you to open a directory and does the "Opening " hang for a while after it's open? [11:49] jstoone: you'd have to create it [11:50] I fixed my resolution problem by removing the monitors.xml file in ~./config... but why did that solve it?:P [11:50] 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] jrib: right. [11:50] is this just cause the servers are down [11:50] so i cant umount them? [11:50] jstoone: and then you would choose that as your session instead of "xmonad" [11:50] or what [11:50] DeltaHeavy, almsot instantly and no hanging [11:50] DeltaHeavy, id advise to switch to xfce [11:50] morsnowski: What CPU is using that? [11:50] its pretty fast [11:51] some older intel dual core [11:51] 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] morsnowski: Do you know the clock rate on it? The type of Duel Core? Celeron, Pentium D? [11:51] DeltaHeavy this is the support channel, opinions in #ubuntu-offtopic, please [11:52] jstoone: it's just a shell script with the last line as "xmonad" [11:52] 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] jrib: cool. How do i specify that as my session? [11:52] DeltaHeavy, 2x intel pentium 2.8ghz [11:52] jrib: aka, make it choosable at the login-screen [11:52] jstoone: should show up in the dropdown menu at the login prompt. Might need a lightdm restart? (idk) [11:53] SolarisBoy, all is fixed! [11:53] jrib: cool, see you in a sec with updates on how it worked (: [11:53] 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] morsnowski: I'm using a Celeron 1 core @ 3.?GHz. I wonder if that's my problem. [11:53] 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. === NoiseCounsellor is now known as NoiseCounselor [11:54] 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] 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] doesn't actually [11:55] 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] can anyone help? [11:55] Guess I should just use a different distro or Xubuntu [11:56] lubuntu targets the low end market [11:56] DeltaHeavy, i'm the wrong address i don't work here [11:56] anybody had issues with airodump-ng dropping after a few minutes ? [11:56] hi.did someone have script for gmail which working with karamba and would like share? [11:56] 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] I don't know HOW you can even make a Linux distro that bulkyy [11:57] DeltaHeavy: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, sunshine. [11:57] DeltaHeavy, i could bet you that is a configuration issue [11:57] Hello everyone, is this the right place to ask something about ubuntu one? [11:57] Moscherkobold, #ubuntuone [11:57] morsnowski: Any ideas on what? [11:57] nope not from afar [11:58] bazhang: thx [11:58] Anybody know how to fix long Nautalis launches and a hanging "Opening "? === ubuntu_ is now known as sergioss [11:58] http://s12a.vidhogservers.com:182/d/esd63vrmnjhr3p57s6qngpbf2j7vt6gqudlddpii74oafjauvsjdjh5y/Get.The.Gringo.2012.HDRip.XviD.AC3-BHRG.avi [11:58] agh [11:58] sorry. [11:58] lol [11:58] ;) [11:58] DeltaHeavy: try running it under strace/ltrace, see where it sticks. [11:59] jrib: naughty boy. [11:59] this is interesting [12:00] when i launch nautilus from Places -> home folder, it takes a few seconds [12:00] when i launch from cmd line, its instant [12:00] WhereIsMySpoon: try it from a newly made user [12:00] dr_willis, meh, i dont have the time to mess around with that :p [12:00] 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] 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] WhereIsMySpoon idd, same here, so it's a gui issue === ubuntu_ is now known as sergioss [12:01] jstoone: what options do you have in the session dropdown menu at login screen? [12:02] DeltaHeavy: does it hang when opening every directory? [12:02] Xmonad+Gnome, Ubuntu, Ubuntu2D, Xmonad - And they all were there before. [12:02] sipior: Yes, also sometimes Nautilis opens up instancly, still with that hanging "Opening" though. [12:02] instantly* [12:03] jrib: Jesus, forgot to tag you again.. [12:03] jrib: Xmonad+Gnome, Ubuntu, Ubuntu2D, Xmonad - And they all were there before. [12:03] DeltaHeavy not if you open nautilus from the terminal, so it's gui or menu issue [12:03] jstoone: hmm. I have /usr/share/xsessions/user-xsession.desktop, do you have that? [12:03] DeltaHeavy: this is a new install, no scripts running? [12:04] jstoone: I also have /usr/share/xsessions/xsession.desktop, do you have that? [12:04] DeltaHeavy: unmodified install, i should say. does it hang before the window itself is drawn? [12:04] jrib: Nope [12:04] jstoone: neither? [12:04] 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] Could someone give me a hand for a moment? My external drives stopped automounting. [12:05] jrib: I made ~/.xsessions (since it didn't exist), but i have no /usr/share/xsessions/xsession.desktio [12:05] 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] jrib: s/desktio/desktop [12:07] sipior: Also I have no cron jobs, nothing special going on. [12:07] 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] 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] whoever came up with the install while configuring your options... genius [12:08] ty [12:08] jrib: But thank you verry much! Saved the paste just for good meshurements [12:10] 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] CaptainSifff maverick is no longer valid or supported [12:12] CaptainSifff: you can just install ttf-droid, i believe. modern tex installs can use truetype fonts out of the box. [12:13] I'm using pdflatex not xelatex... [12:13] DeltaHeavy, does gnome-panel also use a lot of mem? [12:13] For me, it uses over 50% [12:13] CaptainSifff: move to xelatex. seriously. [12:13] <|DM|> what is that in non-relative terms [12:14] WhereIsMySpoon: 2.1MB [12:15] hi [12:16] DeltaHeavy, heh [12:16] DeltaHeavy, sometimes it gets up to over 1gig [12:16] hey everyone good morning [12:16] at 2pm? [12:16] maybe he doesnt live in europe? [12:16] or she [12:17] :S [12:17] :) [12:18] aw damn [12:18] spotify doesnt have rammstein on it D: [12:22] 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] Xano, you can use find [12:22] Xano: Wouldn't 'rm -rf \.*" work? [12:23] Hi, I've mounted my ntfs partition with a mountpoint at /jstoone. Why does some of the foldernames have neon-green markings? [12:23] DeltaHeavy: wouldn't delete a/.b for example [12:23] 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] 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] NoVoteLoss: uninstall the corresponding packages? [12:23] DeltaHeavy: why use force- === root is now known as Guest31257 [12:24] morsnowski: How exactly? This needs to be automated, because we're talking about hundreds of matches [12:24] ActionParsnip: I'm used to RHEL like systems which ask you "Do you want to delete this file" [12:24] xano you could try "find . -name "FILE-TO-FIND"-exec rm -rf {} \;" [12:24] I guess you don't need it but it doesn't hurt [12:24] Xano, but try it first [12:25] DeltaHeavy: thats not what force is for [12:25] Xano: find . | egrep '\ [12:25] Oop [12:26] 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] 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] Xano: find . -type f| egrep '\.*' -exec rm {} \: [12:27] Xano: don't do that [12:27] ActionParsnip: that will delete way too much stuff [12:27] Xano: might wanna make some dummy data to test [12:28] i guess i could just go for separate xservers instead. [12:28] Xano: or just replace "rm" with "ls". === WelshDragon is now known as Guest65315 [12:28] as the lag is not there then [12:28] Jrib: all files from pwd down starting with period, wassup with it? [12:29] ActionParsnip: try: echo a.b | egrep '\.*' [12:29] ActionParsnip: actually, it will delete everything since the output from find will begin with "./" [12:30] Oops forgot ^ [12:30] irc.kametsu.com [12:30] ActionParsnip: also, your syntax looks wrong so maybe it delete anything :P [12:31] lol@ActionParsnip [12:31] won't* [12:31] Gotta jet. #bash may be useful [12:33] find . -name ".*" -exec echo "{}" \; gives me a nice list of all matching files [12:33] THanks!

[13:57] 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] they sure are updating the kernel a lot lately [13:58] what is multi load apple!? i saw it on my process?

[14:39] 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] 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.

Very useful with my dual monitor setup. [14:46] I simply hit Ctrl + Alt and a number pad key, and the window gets moved and resized appropriately [14:46] is there an equivalent tool on Ubuntu? [14:46] ARTSIOM, how about 'aptitude search '~i'' [14:46] HorizonXP: what does "appropriately" mean?

[14:47] jrib: hit it again, and it goes to 33% [14:47] jrib: once more takes it to 66% [14:47] jrib: do that with 4, and it's the left side [14:47] 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?

[14:52] HorizonXP: no idea [14:52] is there a way to keep menu options in panel always visible [14:53] HorizonXP: unity uses compiz, yes [14:53] HorizonXP: Unity uses compiz [14:53] 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] xangua, L3tops does that mean I could add a Compiz plugin? [14:54] HorizonXP: if it doesn't break unity, like the cube, yes [14:54] depends on the plugin I would say... but yes... the compiz manager [14:55] ok, looks like the Grid plugin does what I want [14:55] ARTSIOM, that's the only way i know to get the packages that were installed automatically I'm afraid [14:55] and it's in the compiz-fusion-plugins-extra package... [14:55] are there any apps that will wipe free space [14:56] is gnome-shell using dconf or gconf? [14:56] Sidney: you can try bleachbit [14:57] is there a way to keep menu options in panel always visible [14:58] 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] What menu options are you talking about Guest31475? [14:59] tops - like when i hover to top panel menu-view-tools-help [15:00] these options only show when cursor goes there , i want them always visible [15:00] i have intall mate DE from minimal cd, but no shutdown option. how can i make shutdown option appear? [15:00] level15: you are running an ext2 check on an ext4 filesystem... use fsck.ext4 instead (probably just fsck would work) [15:00] level15: clearly we do not want these mounted when checking. [15:01] L3tops: fsck.ext4 gives the same results [15:01] L3tops: yes, they are unmounted [15:02] L3tops: see http://pastebin.com/KQqeLi7Z it still calls e2fsck [15:02] Oh... I see... [15:02] thats wacky. [15:03] 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] has 12.04 no shutdown option in x-server? [15:05] any clue tops [15:05] vimane: in a terminal you can type sudo shutdown -h now [15:06] is there way to install packages from oneiric repository on 12.04? [15:06] Church: no [15:06] :( [15:07] Sidney: sudo apt-get install testdisk then testdisk /dev/xxx where xxx is your drive [15:09] tahimik can u suggest i have a simple thing to ask [15:09] is there a way to keep menu options in panel always visible [15:10] not to my knowledge Guest31475... it seems as though hiding would be the preferred behavior... [15:12] Sidney: Guest31475: sorry, I usually work at command line. Don't know much about panel gui [15:13] Hey! How can I disable the screen lock after not using the toughbook for a while ? [15:13] It is a touch based device, and screen lock with entering the password just breaks the workflow. [15:14] Does anyone know a single command to compile a source code to install all dependencies, without having to individually install each dependency? [15:15] http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/disable-screensaver-lock-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ [15:15] ohh this one [15:16] jobinar: apt-get build-dep packagename [15:16] Thanks llutz [15:19] 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] llutz: wouldn't you want a -b in there? [15:21] arooni-mobile, Reallocated_Sector_Ct is zero, so thats good [15:21] L3tops: why is that needed? [15:21] because it does the build. [15:22] and if i dont, wouldn't make do it? [15:22] yes... I was just trying to address your question: Does anyone know a single command to compile a source code to install all dependencies, without having to individually install each dependency? [15:23] compdoc, whats weird is that disk utility reports 17 unallocated sectors. .... does smartmontools override disk utility? [15:23] to compile with all of the dependencies from a single command would require the -b arg jobinar. === fernando is now known as Guest44804 [15:23] arooni-mobile, should show the same info, unless one tool or the other is reading it wrong [15:24] unallocated sectors? do you mean reallocated sectors? [15:24] so is sudo apt-get build -b ,what i need to do? [15:24] i mean 'build-dep" [15:24] sorry for that [15:24] I can't figure out what I did, but now in the file explorer all the icons are defaulted to be HUGE [15:25] Hey, is this the support IRC? [15:25] correct jobinar [15:25] yes HungryMan [15:25] Thanks, L3tops! [15:25] companio-, disk utility shows 17 current pending sector count [15:26] Great. I'm trying to set up a chroot going by this wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot [15:26] arooni-mobile, stop highlighting me!

It could mean comm problems or power problems. It means they will continue to be tested [15:28] in ubuntu 12.04.. how do I change to the gtk greeter?

[16:05] usb flash are slower then hds [16:05] ah I thought you said it would be faster Dr_willis [16:05] faster then using a cd. [16:05] ok so I used the guide to setting up a samba file server [16:06] ;) [16:06] eSATA to hdmi [16:06] I can see my ubuntu virtual machine from my windows box, but I can't access the share folder on it [16:06] wait for USB3 flash drives to come out. ;) [16:06] windows keeps asking for username/password authentication [16:06] OOHhhhhh [16:06] hairydog, you gave the samba user a samba password with the command 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' ? [16:06] cant boot from my external usb hdd? [16:07] Dr_willis: do they really run that fast that they'd benefit from usb3? [16:07] no [16:07] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html [16:07] ^ I followed that guide exactly as it is [16:07] beandog, my other usb3 hds seem a lot lot faster. ;) [16:07] Dr_willis: really? huh. === VirtualBlackness is now known as L3top [16:07] i have a large stack of external usb hds - i keep video files on.. so every bit of speed helps [16:08] ever try to copy 1TB of data to a external usb? ;) [16:08] mount -f? [16:08] yes Dr_willis... then I come back to it the next day! [16:08] ha [16:08] I've never even had 1TB of data [16:08] Dr_willis: not lately. Mine runs on eSATA, thank goodness [16:09] I have a few external sata's but they never seem to work right. [16:09] eSATA is faster than USB3 or no? [16:09] dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/sda takes 45 min no matter [16:09] hairydog: i would expect the drive to be the limiting factor either way [16:09] BLZbubba: yahp. [16:09] yea - the hd themselfs are slower then what the buss/connections can handle i belive. [16:10] 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] every improvement, leapfrogs other things to move the main bottleneck somewhere else. [16:10] probably eSATA [16:10] eSATA to hdmi [16:10] 1gb/sec [16:10] oh nice [16:10] sata comes in differnt speeds also now a days i belive.. [16:10] sata 1, 2, 3 [16:10] sata 3 is standard right now [16:11] hairydog: but this is getting close to lmgtfy.com territory :) e.g.: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2120266 [16:11] Does anyone else dislike the "Enter" key behavior in the Unity HUD?

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] I followed that guide on setting up samba file server, I'm in an ubuntu virtual machine with a bridged network connection [16:12] and I can see from my windows machine the shared folder [16:12] but when I try to open it, windows authentication pops up asking for username/password [16:12] I tried doing ubuntuvm\master and then my password [16:12] but it didn't work [16:12] tried using my network username and password and that didn't work either. I'm stumped [16:13] hairydog: did you use smbpasswd on the server?

[17:34] piihub: windows one will act as a windows program one you can install and uninstall from control panel [17:34] e33: Fedora and other redhat derivitaves are starting to name ehternet devices like BSD does.

I must CANCEL that first attempt, then on the second try - the password field comes up. Is there a fix for this ? [17:49] yezzir [17:49] 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] its not a big deal.. just lame to have it pop up every restart [17:49] using nouveau or nvidia drivers? [17:49] BA707: what versioin are you using?

[17:55] gmcinnes, in that case you do need to chroot in and reinstall grub i imagine. [17:55] I'm having issues going from 10.04 to 12.04. do-release-upgrade leaves me with an unbootable disk.

It's super easy to configure. [18:05] JessicaW: hmm...ok.. [18:05] BA707: sometimes fault things like that happen but it only occasionally happens [18:05] anyone know where Zorin board is? [18:06] 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] 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] d8bhatta: here. this helps. http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/10/21/sending-email-from-your-system-with-ssmtp/ [18:07] zorin is ubuntu isn't it? [18:07] d8bhatta: but, if you plan on sending and receiving mail, either configure sendmail or install postifix. [18:07] newlou-os, just because its based on ubuntu, does not make it supported here.

I want it to be 1080p for my VM [18:07] ok thanks Dr. willis [18:07] JessicaW: I only need to send email [18:07] famicube64, /etc/default/grub [18:07] so ssmtp may be a good choice === luizcantoni is now known as cantoni [18:08] i dont see much point in grub being 1080p :) [18:08] 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] yes I know the config file but I don't know what to add to make it 1080 [18:08] theres a few lines detailign the res in the file.

[18:09] ok [18:10] 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] hei i need some help [18:10] new to kubuntu, trying to update my java.

[18:10] i am having extreme problems with ubuntu [18:10] 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] 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] kyle__, i have seen ways to use xinit, or upstart to spawn a vnc session as needed. [18:11] 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] JessicaW: ok..will try ssmtp first and see how it goes [18:11] 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] MustaKotka, either way wont matter much. i wonder why your vm is not connectged to the internet however. [18:12] 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] Dr_willis: True, but there's no reason this shouldn't work. [18:12] BA707: i think try updating the security updates first [18:12] kyle__, personally i ssh in, and start vncserver as needed.. [18:12] kyle__, i find the whole auto launching/keeping it going just adds to much hassle [18:12] Dr_willis, any ideas how to connect it or should I ask google? [18:13] BA707: recommended updates can be done later, u know every new version comes with some bug, they might be fixed after updating [18:13] Dr Kinect [18:13] MustaKotka, i dont even knwo what VM you are using.. vbox has alwyas connected automatically for me [18:13] quixotedon: Thank you... Good advice, will do that now.. I will be back... (also, time for Tea) ;) [18:13] 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] BA707: go ahead, i'll be off for sleeping (its [18:13] latest version of Oracle VM VirtualBox [18:13] anyone here have ffmpeg and a webcam and would want to test something for me? [18:13] it's more than midnight here.. :) [18:13] tits [18:14] quixotedon: updating might also solve the intermittant screen blackout I've been suffering.. Thanks Again.. ttfn [18:14] ausnword: keep the language nice please [18:14] eok: And lets turn down the creepy here, and turn up the facts...what are you trying to do/test? [18:14] BA707: i think so [18:14] is there anyway to mount the web server folder in apache to home [18:14] kanfathufoolhu_: Create a symlink in your web folder. [18:14] because i am having permission problem cause it is in /var [18:14] That's one of the Seven Dirty Words you can't say on IRC.. ;) (ala George Carlin) [18:15] */home [18:15] Dr_willis: latest version of Oracle VM VirtualBox [18:15] RIP George [18:15] 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] dagerik: how to i create a symlink [18:15] 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] kanfathufoolhu_: The "ln" command. [18:15] MustaKotka, check the network card settings perhaps. vbox always connected to the internet for me when ivd ran linux in it. [18:15] kyle_ i dont have a webcam here, so i don't know if my code will work [18:16] kanfathufoolhu_, the web servers normally have some security settings where they may or may not follow links. for security reasons [18:16] Dr_willis, thanks for the help. [18:16] LadyNikon: Yes.. Definately.. [18:16] 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] Dr_willis: so will the sym link work and if so what shoud i do since i am pretty new to linux [18:16] kanfathufoolhu_: Here is an example: cd /var/www && ln -s /home/john/ johns_folder [18:17] 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] eok: I used to play movies fullscreen as my background, while working (fluxbox wm + mplayer) [18:17] dagerik: will it fix the permission issues [18:17] kanfathufoolhu_, no idea. Id keep the web files in the proper dirs and not be tossing links around. [18:17] 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] kyle_: I dont have a webcame here so not sure if its a wrong argument or not [18:17] kanfathufoolhu_: What permission issues do you have? [18:17] Ooops.. Off topic.. Sorry.. I'm outta here.. Bye All.. [18:17] eok: I did that as well, to test. I used mplayer, not ffmpeg, but the theory holds. It works. [18:18] BA707: indeed. [18:18] kyle_ ok i do this: [18:18] 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] --sout '#std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:3030}' [18:19] 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] whats scary is that i understand like 75% of that command line. ;) === webpigeo1 is now known as webpigeon1 === webpigeon1 is now known as webpigeon [18:19] 75%=filename [18:19] theres only like 3 of the options/arguments i dont recall ever using. ;p [18:20] dagerik: ok which is the way that the permissions are to be granted since its root root [18:20] kanfathufoolhu_: You need to be more specific. You probably also need to go read how users, processes and permission works. [18:21] 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] kyle_ I assume this message is because i don't have a webcam connected: [movie @ 0xa3b1fa0] Failed to avformat_open_input 'v4l2' [18:21] kanfathufoolhu_: It is okay having root to be owner of /var/www [18:22] kanfathufoolhu_: You need to be more spesific. What do you want to do? [18:23] how can I open an ssh connection over an http proxy on ubuntu? [18:25] kanfathufoolhu_, there is a user/group "www-data"? [18:25] that is the apache group [18:26] Is xubuntu fastest (most responsive) ubuntu version? (Im on kinda old hardware). [18:26] Ru nning the command ssmtp myemailaddress@gmail.com < msg.txt my terminal is hanged [18:26] no lubuntu is faster [18:26] alinazih [18:27] Can someone walk me through adding to the grub line, step by step? [18:27] new to kubuntu, trying to update my java. I'm having some trouble [18:27] Gewinnen: what is the problem [18:28] 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] 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] Gewinnen: what you have downloaded is called a binary... [18:29] Gewinnen: inside there is a bin folder .. there is the java exec.. which you can use to run java programs === ponpon is now known as Guest26382 [18:29] ah ok === testerdude is now known as Guest72226 [18:30] im in the bin folder, but dont see any exc files [18:30] Can someone walk me through adding to the grub line, step by step? [18:30] piihb: adding the grub line? [18:30] Gewinnen: it doesnt have an extension ... its just called java [18:30] Gewinnen: you can execute it by doing ./java on the terminal [18:30] okay ill try [18:30] does anyone knows a perl editor for ubuntu 10.04!? [18:30] "Add to the grub boot line the following options... [18:31] tking0038 I have tried Lubuntu its oke.Doesnt seem so responsive but ok. Thx and bye [18:31] Fat-Thing: vim [18:31] piihb: what guide exactly are you following? Just in case:) [18:31] sirriffsalot: "Add to the grub boot line the following options" [18:31] Fat-Thing, geany is a good editor for programers also [18:31] piihb, maybe look at /etc/default/grub and "sudo update-grub", but be carefull with those [18:31] wat about monodevelop!? does it support perl programming? [18:32] mono is for .net [18:32] 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] most people tend to run away from mono. [18:32] ;) [18:32] piihb: or what syntroPi said, emphasis on the "careful" bit [18:32] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops/Dell/XPS/15z [18:32] Im not sure why you really need a fancy editor for perl. [18:33] i see so can i get that geany on software centre Dr_willis ? [18:33] When I add a symlink in /var/www it doesnt show up in the directory listing. It is 777. [18:33] !info geany [18:33] geany (source: geany): fast and lightweight IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.21.dfsg-1ubuntu4 (precise), package size 992 kB, installed size 2448 kB [18:33] piihb: ah yes [18:33] geany is also ported to windows. ;) [18:33] piihb: to do that you do as I said [18:33] piihb: but take care to do it correctly [18:33] piihb: or follow as the guide says further down:P [18:33] So I can't talk to you all while I do it :o [18:33] :( [18:34] piihb: well, follow what it says just below! [18:34] piihb: "To keep these option edit the grub command. Execute this in a terminal : $ sudo gedit /etc/default/grub" [18:34] have any of you guys used intel c/c++ compiler? [18:34] sirriffsalot: But I havne't edited the grub yet, so those terminal commands will do nothing, right? [18:35] piihb: once you do "sudo update-grub" and reboot the changes will have taken effect [18:35] piihb: be sure to take a backup of the file you edit [18:35] In this case the file /etc/default/GRUB/ "GRUB":P [18:36] 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] tking0038, I got the java exc up in konsole, it shows a list of commands [18:36] 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] Gewinnen: so say there was a jar file you were trying to run you could do ./java -jar /location/of/jar.jar [18:37] tking0038: Yea, awhile ago. Was OK. [18:37] kyle__: did you get any of the performance it talks about [18:37] sirriffsalot: Wonderful! Thanks for your help :) [18:37] 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] piihb: all sorted out? [18:37] ipod touch 4th gen. do i give up now trying to connect to ubuntu sans virtualbox? [18:37] piihb: do a reboot before you cheer!:) [18:38] or can it be done [18:38] sirriffsalot: I'll find out when I restart, but it's further than I've gotten before lol. [18:38] So thanks [18:38] ! [18:38] piihb: cheers:) I'm pretty new to linux myself, but spent shitloads of time on that stuff [18:38] piihb: I'm a master at debugging nvidia trouble now ;D [18:38] 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] piihb: ish anyway [18:39] kyle__: do you think I would get a performance increase if i tried to compile openjdk in it [18:39] tking0038: Some things really will bennefit from the performance, but it's not easy to tell. [18:39] piihb: may I suggest you reboot now so you don't wake up to an unfunctional computer that ruins your breakfast?:) [18:39] 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] Failed to load symbol for: SCardCancelTransaction, /usr/local/lib/libpcsclite.so.1: undefined symbol: [18:40] does anyone had this error? [18:40] kyle__: thanks.. what does icc help with [18:40] Hey! Is it possible to eliminate the top bar on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ? [18:40] kyle__: is it more of the math typed stuff [18:40] im trying to use rfidiot with my omnikey reader [18:40] djszapi, not really [18:40] djszapi: what top bar? [18:41] djszapi, unity puts the menus in that bar. :) [18:41] tking0038: Computationally complex code, mathy stuff. Outside of that, it's probably a tossup as to which is faster. [18:41] install lxde ... be done with unity [18:41] djszapi: I'm with tking0038 on this one [18:41] kyle__: ok ... thanks again [18:41] kyle__: i think i figured it out: http://ffmpeg.org/libavfilter.html#movie [18:41] 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] djszapi: or if you're addicted to gnome layout, at least go for gnome classic [18:41] better go for the new mate thing [18:42] kyle__: movie=/dev/video0:f=video4linux2 [18:42] 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] but dont expect support for 'mate' in here. ;) [18:42] Nvedia Driver issue: Attempting to activate driver through "addition hardward" Error Msg: nvidia System Error: E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages [18:42] hi [18:42] lol dpkg --configure -a === ryan is now known as Guest53974 [18:42] eok: Sweet.

I lothe webex. [18:43] how do i manually remove it? [18:44] kyle__: yea me too! [18:44] t432: sudo apt-get remove [18:44] tried that [18:44] sirriffsalot: I would need to have a full screen application [18:44] sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current [18:44] sirriffsalot: and I would use the OS only for that application in this customer project on the toughbook. [18:44] I was able to disable the bar on the left, but it would be nice to disable at the top as well. [18:45] t432: I doubt that this is the source package that is the problem [18:45] tking0038: How do you remove non-ubuntu pak's e.g. ones installed via command "sh"/ [18:45] t432: what is the output of dpkg --configure -a [18:45] in pastebin please [18:45] 1 sec [18:45] t432: that isnt whats giving you the broken package... that is a problem with apt [18:45] 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] sirriffsalot: I would need a rebooted toughbook with auto login with screen lock disabled, bars on the left and top [18:46] I would have ideally one launcher icon on the desktop. [18:46] t432: things you install manually dont interact with apt and cant give you the broken package eroor [18:46] natosha: you must escape spaces ie: this\ is\ a\ package.deb [18:46] natosha: I_hope_not,_but_wouldn't_be_surprised_if_that_were_the_case.

[19:06] zykotick9: yes, that works...and I did use it [19:06] nik90: fyi it's c+a+f7 to get back to gui [19:07] the thing is can't even login into my session [19:07] nik90: i don't understand how installing openbox will allow you to change you Unity theme? [19:07] zykotick9: I dont think it is the unity theme which is messing up but rather the gtk3 theme for the windows [19:08] tking0038 got it up and running fine now thanks so much [19:08] Cerrdor: np [19:08] nik90: well, did you install the gtk3 themes as packages? [19:08] zykotick9, using openbox i will run Openbox and then try to get back to Ambiance theme which is default [19:08] zykotick9: yes I installed gtk-themes-standard package [19:08] !info gtk-themes-standard [19:08] Package gtk-themes-standard does not exist in precise [19:09] hi [19:09] what does this !info thing you are all doing mean?

Ex: ~/bin [19:12] i just toss mine wherever [19:12] you can do ~/.bash_aliases if you want [19:12] mobilenoob11: for a single user, ~/bin is the best place (it's automatically added to PATH if it exists) [19:12] Cool! I love you guys. [19:13] Why does my computer play audio out of both my built in speakers and the headphones at the same time? [19:14] 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] Hi.

[19:18] I believe that is still supported... can you please update-pciids and run the lspci again [19:18] what should I install and learn how to configure, znc or sbnc?

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] Baribal: ^ [19:20] 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 === pp7 is now known as malkauns [19:21] 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] Why does my computer play audio out of both my built in speakers and the headphones at the same time? [19:23] 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] ^ I Agree [19:23] anyone heard of acronis backup?

[19:24] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [19:24] DogLover: try a different driver [19:24] 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] checkout how long the list in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz is :( [19:24] L3top, would that be fglrx-updates (Version: 2:8.960-0ubuntu1) and fglrx-amdccle-updates? [19:24] 'Cause I installed them, rebooted, same result. [19:25] j #ubuntu-se [19:25] Anybody know whether Windows users have such problems with their cards, too? :) [19:26] I can't say for sure...

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.

[19:29] DogLover: anyway. read the wiki entry [19:31] 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] 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] L3top, not quite, but you can +1 it. :D [19:32] When calling a shell script in ubuntu, is it nessecary to use the complete path? ex: ~/bin/scriptname.sh [19:32] 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.

[19:34] can I install grafical interface on ubuntu server with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [19:34] farciarz84: what version of ubuntu are you on? [19:34] Removing virtualbox-4.1 ... * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [19:34] Why do I have to log out after changing my $PATH for it to be effective? [19:34] farciarz84: If you are new to ubuntu I'd just uninstall it from the Software Centre [19:34] 12.04 [19:34] farciarz84: "sudo apt-get remove foo" or "sudo apt-get purge foo" [19:34] farciarz84: apt-get remove [19:34] farciarz84: or synaptic package manager [19:34] I've tried the problem is that synaptics and everything else doesn't even start! [19:34] farciarz84: if you do use Ubuntu Software Centre, just click on the big icon for Installed [19:35] farciarz84: then you can browse to it or use the search, then click the Remove button [19:35] E: The package virtualbox-4.1 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. [19:35] E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report. [19:35] ah [19:35] what is better to use, apt-get or aptitude? [19:35] 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] farciarz84: search for virtualbox in synaptic ? [19:35] farciarz84: my guess, is that you manually installed virtualbox [19:36] and didn't keep the package [19:36] as I said synaptic doesn't start error instead [19:36] tiny-T, Personal preference [19:36] Baribal: I do not believe your chipset is lost in this purge. [19:36] My $path says ~/bin, but I have to log/log out before its effective? [19:36] it starts show error and exit [19:36] farciarz84: synaptic not starting could mean you have something else running llike sofware centre or update manager [19:36] farciarz84: close those [19:36] mobilenoob11: if ~/bin didn't exist before you logged in - YES [19:36] mobilenoob11: $path or $PATH? [19:36] mobilenoob11: those are very different [19:36] farciarz84: what happens when you run sudo apt-get update in a terminal [19:37] Guys, I'm soo sorry. Not trying to get off topic. [19:37] farciarz84: did you install virtualbox from synaptic or the virtualbox website? [19:37] I hope that X will gonna work in server version of ubuntu [19:37] nemo: website [19:37] 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] L3top: look on that http://nopaste.info/32e99e23ab.html [19:37] farciarz84: ok. so, reinstall is not finding it in the list of repos [19:37] good call nemo [19:37] farciarz84: you just need to uninstall the package [19:37] then double click on the .deb again [19:38] nemo: have you seen my paste? [19:38] farciarz84: that's what I was commenting on, yes [19:38] nemo: if you install a DEB, then apt-get will remove it... [19:38] zykotick9: oh. good to know [19:38] dose someone from here use putty and "screen"? [19:38] zykotick9: I'm a bit new to ubuntu :) [19:38] waiting forever means that it hungs and not finished [19:38] zykotick9: I thought it might just say "already installed" then quit [19:38] farciarz84: 15:36 < nemo> farciarz84: synaptic not starting could mean you have something else running llike sofware centre or update manager [19:38] I'm waiting 1h and nothing is done [19:38] nemo: if you install a .bin or a .run or compile - apt-get will do nothing [19:39] farciarz84: as I said. make sure you have other stuff closed [19:39] tiny-T: I use both constantly. [19:39] nemo: I'm sure [19:39] farciarz84: synaptic is probably waiting for you to close them [19:39] farciarz84: I doubt that :-p [19:39] nemo: no [19:39] hanging indefinitely is a common symptom of something else trying to use package management. admittedly not a *nice* way to do it... [19:39] farciarz84: how long is forever? and have you tried sudo dpkg --configure -a or sudo apt-get -f install [19:39] zykotick9: virtualbox offers .debs on their website [19:39] L3top, what's the [0300] at the beginning of the lspci output? If it's model number, it's affected. [19:40] zykotick9: which is probably why his error reports a package needing reinstall ;) [19:40] 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] It is not the model number Baribal... the PCI ID is the last number in the sets in your case 68e4 [19:41] farciarz84: close synaptic. run what zykotick9 said [19:41] farciarz84: then reinstall virtualbox [19:41] 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] farciarz84: I bet you'll get a lock error though :-p [19:41] tiny-T: screen -dr [19:41] L3top: tried everything you wrote still the same thing [19:41] thx! :D [19:41] nemo: you assumtions are wrong [19:42] nemo: what is someone who knows screen doing using ubuntu ;) [19:42] tiny-T: and if that doesn't work try screen -raAdx [19:42] 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] zykotick9: gentoo for configurability/hackability [19:43] how does gentoo manage packages? [19:43] http://nopaste.info/4a66829c9d.html [19:43] zykotick9: btw, I switched to tmux recently 'cause I'm sick of only BMP unicode support [19:43] nemo: :) i left gentoo for ubuntu, and left ubuntu for debian [19:43] L3top: http://nopaste.info/4a66829c9d.html [19:43] 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] zykotick9: I wrote a small digraph script for tmux to replace the missing support in screen [19:43] im on debian now [19:43] er. the missing tmux support for the screen function [19:43] Ah, thanks. [19:43] ubuntu has the easiest no hassle installs for desktop IMO. [19:44] zykotick9: if you ever switch I can share :) [19:44] JessicaW: yep. also nice for getting a VM quickly up and running [19:44] nemo: i've not played with tmux - i'm very happy with screen [19:44] ok farciarz84 I would reboot into recovery mode (before the virtualbox modules can load) and remove them from command line [19:44] nemo: which I do CONSTANTLY. :D [19:44] there are lots that have that though ... fedora .. centos ... debian if you do the whole cd.. [19:44] tking0038: Gentoo has several ways to manage packages. Source or binary, and various tools to do it. [19:44] screen is awesome [19:44] JessicaW: I also like the nice flash drive wizard [19:45] Flash what?! [19:45] L3top: ok I'm trying.... [19:45] nemo: it's especially handy. I don't have to carry around a cd anymore. [19:45] JessicaW: given how much of a pain setting those up used to be in the past. and. unionfs, seamless customisation/updates [19:46] nemo: I switched from RH to fedora to gentoo to ubuntu. I think I just got lazier and lazier. [19:46] nemo: and that wizard is one of the reasons why! [19:46] * Wizard honoured, JessicaW! [19:47] not really lazy... why do something on redhat when you can do something on ubuntu in 1/2 the time [19:50] !ot | tking0038 zykotick9 [19:50] tking0038 zykotick9: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[20:17] well, there was not the capability to copy & paste, & sent an error report [20:17] gracias kemuffkamel [20:18] hola! [20:18] so when i download Kubuntu (CD version) does it come with plasma and w/o plasma? or are they 2 seperate downloads [20:18] je ne parlais epañol sadly [20:18] so..anyone want to help me install my xbox 360 kinect here [20:19] khmerog: it comes with plasma, but it is easily replaceeable with any other desktop you like. [20:19] khmerog: if you need something small and fast to go with kde i might suggest xfdesktop [20:19] or razor-desktop [20:20] razor is a PPA instal though an not in repos i think [20:20] but then it is all qt from there [20:20] !razor [20:20] fasta try razor-qt [20:21] I'm just looking for some troubleshooting advice.

[20:22] oops, JamesL__ [20:22] i ment [20:22] too darn many with similar nicks in here, name completion works poorly =D [20:22] 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] 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] sirriffsalot: use the password you use to login [20:23] I did, no dice:( [20:24] JamesL__: Is it an real mac or an hackintosh? [20:24] JamesL__: can you boot to OSX from the grub menu? [20:24] mbp 8.1 [20:24] JamesL_: not that i know if it will help at all...but theres a auto boot load fixer thing .. [20:25] L3top: he does not get to the grub menu as the EFI is not configured correctly [20:25] I get to OS X from the reffit screen. Not from grub. [20:25] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [20:27] sk1special, I'll look in to that. [20:28] JamesL_: yeah no prob.. fixed my issues. but i could see the grub. so *shrug* [20:29] OK. I'd like to find the fix that doesn't involve a complete re-install. [20:29] maybe something changed in the mbr? [20:29] 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] 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] 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?

You can ssh into a system, and mount a drive. === aaass is now known as aaas [20:32] uh... you can mount a drive and ssh into it. [20:32] 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] partition usually if we are getting nitpicky [20:33] anyone? [20:33] 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] are there instructions for doing the grub-install update-grub steps from a liveUSB somewhere? [20:34] I don't know how to do it so that the update happens on the non-booting system.

You are free to give other advice if you like... but unless you can explain why mine is a problem... do that. [20:35] james [20:36] yes?

Thanks for the advice. [20:40] 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] L3top: i am using a quad core processor and i the vm is currently using 2 of them, should i add more? [20:43] daniel110: I would compare the results of one cpu and two (unchecking the hardware virtualization checkbox for 1) [20:43] L3top: k [20:43] 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] 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] Launchpad bug 445872 in network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) "disable-disconnect-notification option ignored" [Medium,Confirmed] [20:44] hi, if i install 32 bit with more than 3gb ram, will ubuntu automatically install PAE kernel?

(ATi x1050 AGP RV 350) [20:44] 32 bit could only handle 3.2gb [20:44] lubuntu_op: Autoconfig [20:44] lubuntu_op: because xorg started autoconfiguring some time ago, upstream [20:44] taime ^ [20:45] 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] taime: it gave me an smp kernel. haven't checked to see if it does pae. let's find out! [20:45] 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] how do i uninstall nvidia drivers from recovery mode? [20:45] does ubuntu server default install a mailserver? [20:45] so xorg isnt reason my flash seems so sluggish and slow? [20:45] lubuntu_op: If you do an aticonfig or change via amdccle it will write one though. [20:45] i use a pentium d dual core [20:45] i am not actually sure if i need the oracle extension pack [20:45] i need to send out simple messages from the local server to one of my gmail acconts [20:45] when i try and install the wrong version it locks up my machine [20:46] L3top: oh from a live cd... sorry. [20:46] taime: it looks to not be pae :/ [20:46] kemuffkamelen: how can i tell whether it will be installing the PAE? [20:46] how do i uninstall nvidia drivers from recovery mode? [20:46] taime: it shows 3gb ram total :/ [20:46] lewellyn: hmm [20:46] taime: It is not hard to install a pae kernel afterwards anyways if it is not installed by default. [20:47] that was my next question kemuffkamelen [20:47] taime: i also have an E5400 :) [20:47] cool. well then i'll get to it [20:47] thanks gents [20:47] gdoteof, have you added the host to the vbox users?

[21:08] i guess i need to install the compiz manager... [21:08] c0deMaster: maybe amixer [21:08] what package is that? [21:08] 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] 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] c0deMaster: NewWorld alsamixer is easier... amixer requires arguments [21:10] L3top: c0deMaster: Oh I thought he wanted to script it or something [21:10] schultza: you didn't have to have 4 DT to enable cube. [21:10] 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] oh yeah.. duh [21:10] * schultza slaps self.

[21:29] yes [21:29] yes L3top [21:29] I did not understand the question I am not I text based user so can you please explain how [21:30] IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: the same way you entered dpkg --configure -a in a terminal, is how you enter the commands I am giving you. === hspencer[afk] is now known as hspencer [21:31] The last one or the first [21:32] 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] IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: either [21:32] l3dx, pro === ANDROID is now known as Guest31759 [21:32] L3top, pro [21:33] c0deMaster: to write to save state in alsactl it will have to be executed as sudo/root [21:34] L3top, http://pastebin.com/snUL7j9J [21:34] this is really more appropriate for #bash c0deMaster === chris__0076 is now known as chris_0076 [21:37] c0deMaster: open alsamixer and see if those three inputs have the ability to be muted [21:37] It is un apt what does it mean [21:40] Guest31759: that means it is not installed [21:40] L3top, there isn't mute option at all even for playback devices [21:41] Guest31759: please ls /var/cache/apt/archives/apt_* === marc is now known as Guest64328 [21:42] 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] Guest31759: does that return a reply? [21:43] HOW DO I CHECK BATTERY FROM CONSOLE [21:43] or how do i start a battery monitor from the terminal [21:43] L3top, got it, but there no mute for capturing devices [21:44] 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] deadbeef: $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info [21:44] Command not found [21:44] ls?

[21:48] c0deMaster, there is, with the M key [21:48] . [21:48] 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 === ubuntu_ is now known as nobodyishome [21:49] OerHeks, M key only works with the playback not the capturing devices [21:49] Can not access to it because the file or directory does not exist [21:49] 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] 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] Usin Ubuntu 5.10 [21:50] so this is prolly gonna seem really slow. but what key is ^G? [21:51] what version are you in the middle of a very broken upgrade to Guest31759? also dpkg-query -l "wget" | grep ^ii [21:51] control is often represented with a ^ sk1special [21:52] Guest96513: That would open security holes [21:52] L3top: awesome t/y. wanna tell me how i save stuff in the terminal now? :] [21:53] ctrl shift c [21:53] But is it possible? [21:53] copies... and ctrl shift v pastes sk1special [21:53] dont you have to highlight something first to copy? :) [21:53] L3top: no save..like editing a file [21:54] > file ? [21:54] 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] i think he wants to do a cmd | tee file or something similiar [21:55] Me Gusta [21:55] 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] . then copy/paste some rules.. [21:55] Guest96513: No, it's not possible by design. [21:55] 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] ii wget [21:56] is there "safe" bleachbit settings? [21:56] sk1special you can instead of doing that.. do a "gksudo gedit /file" [21:56] schultza: well ive allready done it.. i just want to make sure its saved so i can exit that terminal [21:57] press ctrl+x and hti entre [21:57] ... er hit enter === ubuntu__ is now known as nobodyishome_ [21:57] then press ctrl+o i mean..

[22:04] ah haha mmk. thought i was missing some awesome control everyones tv hack for it [22:04] 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] 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] 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] 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] Guest96513: have you purged and re-installed it since the update?

But I'd like more control over where the items are.. and have them on the same toolbar.

I've now switched to another window manager altogether [22:19] looks a lot like gnome 2 [22:19] tesmar: which one did you pick? [22:20] Can I reinstall everything by typing something I want just the default packages === Guest40634 is now known as xx [22:20] NewWorld, I take that back, I am using the fallback mode [22:20] 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] oh shoot thanks [22:21] i didn't see that it has the maximize button in dash === xx is now known as Guest86220 [22:21] niklasfi: what do you mean by "attach"? pipe?

[22:23] 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] Command not found [22:24] IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: unfortunately, I'd backup your data and reinstall from scratch at this moment. === VGoff_afk is now known as VGoff [22:25] 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] that's what id recommend. [22:25] 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] I can access the boot home and root partitions from my install on my main internal HDD === nick_ is now known as Guest16689 [22:26] !patience [22:26] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [22:26] schultza: apt -get and sudo are different right? couldnt he sudo aptitude install , then use that to install apt-get ? [22:26] 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] 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] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/aptitude ( not trying to hate just learngin :] ) [22:26] is* [22:26] learning also [22:27] IBMLENOVOTHINKPA: or "sudo aptURL" === bodoh is now known as filsuf [22:27] nope, that wont work [22:27] how to force ubuntu to recognize a usb mouse? [22:28] mouse all of a sudden stops working or being recognized [22:28] how to make it *look the usb mouse? [22:28] cordoval: when it stops working is the light on it still on? [22:28] the mouse pad on the laptop works and everything but i can see how the light on the mouse just dies [22:28] hello, i need antivirus program to scan files before I move them to another pc, any sugestions? [22:29] 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] cordoval: Maybe it's just a hardware problem? Try it on another machine [22:29] it is kind of in between that it lits up gain but it does not recognize it again [22:29] no it is not a hardware problem this works perfect even on ubuntu before [22:29] so it hppens radomly [22:29] sk1special: if aptitude is installed on the system. I know it's not with the default install of 12.04. [22:29] !virus | SPhcT [22:29] SPhcT: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [22:29] xangua, that is reson why.. [22:30] cordoval: Don't push it in all the way. Push it only enough to keep the light on [22:30] 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] xangua, ty for link [22:30] i mean there has to be a way or an explanation NewWorld [22:30] schultza: yeah that what i was asking i guess. if it was possible to install aptitude without apt-get [22:30] ok i can leave it half way but that does not seem to be a solution [22:30] as it can be on but not recognized [22:31] 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] 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] cordoval: Make it stay on the sweet spot where the light is on [22:31] 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] NewWorld: that does not solve the problem [22:32] cc11rocks, is that small external HD? [22:32] anyone knows what command to run to make ubuntu look for mouse on usb? [22:32] 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] freedomrun_ It less than 100 GB and 2.5" I believe [22:32] yep, it was dselect that i was looking for.. and it's not installed by default either [22:32] 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] It's around 60 GB I believe [22:33] 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] anyone knows how ubuntu recognizes hardwre on the usb ports? [22:33] why is it not working the way it should [22:33] cordoval, sounds like your mouse is dead. it should be recognized immediatly. [22:33] cc11rocks, you could try to add rootdelay=10 to kernel or maybe better rootdelay=15 [22:34] hi, where do I look to auto mount a smb share on login ? for a specific user ? [22:34] cordoval: do a lsusb [22:34] if it is dead then why when i reboot it always works [22:34] cordoval: do you see a mouse detected ? [22:34] schultza: yep that is what i am talking about [22:34] 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] 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] ahh mmk. [22:35] cordoval: sorry my internet died. Run dmesg and plug in the mouse , paste output [22:35] Bus 002 Device 027: ID 046d:c03d Logitech, Inc. M-BT96a Pilot Optical Mouse [22:35] lol.. i have an acer mouse reporting as as a Pixart Imaging, Inc Optical Mouse.. lol [22:36] cordoval: Now pull it out and paste output. For me it states my mouse disconnected [22:38] schultza: my video card lists itself as a compltely different model in ubuntu vs in win so dont feel bad [22:38] cc11rocks, somewhare betwee the kernel boot parameters [22:38] NewWorld_: i had a usb disconnected, not a mouse... not sure what cordoval will see [22:38] *between [22:38] i think running dmesg fixed it somehow [22:38] not sure why or how [22:38] but it does fix it [22:38] weird though [22:38] cordoval: I think it may be a hardware problem [22:38] mouse is good though [22:39] which hardware [22:39] 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] which part? [22:39] NewWorld_: i think it is ubuntu [22:39] 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] ubuntu lists usb but it is not working [22:39] freedomrun_ Is it just not getting enough power? [22:39] then it lasts sometime and i cleans it up from lsusb [22:39] 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] then recognizes it again [22:39] NewWorld_: could be [22:39] but hmmm that can be fixed with cleaning , maybe dust? [22:40] is this common tohough? [22:40] cordoval: If you want to be sure, try it on another machine [22:40] show me a couple of urls about that, i doubt is th case [22:40] everwhere on any other machine it works :D [22:40] freedomrun_ Think I may have just missed one of your messages...Thanks for the help! [22:40] anyway the thing is just dmesg and lsusb [22:40] 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] ok fixed [22:40] NewWorld_: lol [22:41] ok laterguys thanks [22:41] np, see you)) [22:41] salve [22:41] !list [22:41] marco: No warez here!

[22:41] saved as all files too [22:42] hairydog: You have to do `chmod +x thefile` to make it executable [22:42] 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] hairydog: open it with a ./helloWorld.sh from the terminal window in the same directory as the file.. after you chmod +x. [22:43] 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] what browser is gnome showing in their screenshots? http://www.gnome.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/gnome-3.4-940x400.png [22:44] 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] freedomrun_ Is this a millasecond or second value? [22:45] I think seconds but not entierly shure [22:45] 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] how are you supposed to manage groups in 12.04 from GUI ? [22:46] cc11rocks, it has to do with usb pooling and together with kernel waiting for devices to settle down [22:46] freedomrun_ I'll check, thank you :) [22:46] cc11rocks, np [22:46] ok [22:46] 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] 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] didn't work [22:47] hairydog: its /user/ [22:47] er [22:47] no [22:47] BA707: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades [22:47] its home lol [22:47] yeah [22:47] BA707: you'll have to wait for 12.04.1 to upgrade from lucid to it [22:47] hairydog: /home/user [22:47] yep that is better [22:47] how are you supposed to manage groups in 12.04 from GUI ? [22:48] xangua: when will they relase 12.04.1 ? [22:48] from same place where you manage users [22:48] nice [22:48] freedomrun_: done see anhting to do with groups [22:48] dot* [22:48] dont* [22:48] omg [22:49] xangua: That is do-able.

[22:51] 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] stueng, you can do: sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools [22:51] :) [22:51] freedomrun_: yeh I got it ^^ thanks [22:51] BA707: no', it's not smaller [22:52] xangua: Yikes... [22:52] Fatalio_Errors: i thought wubi was dead since long ago? as it broke around oeneric [22:52] but i might be wrong [22:52] xangua: Might as well d/l the full v12.04 ISO then, IF I had a way to burn it ? [22:52] i am certain that unetbootin died ungracefully though [22:52] judgen [22:53] I'm having trouble setting up udev rules for v4l devices, can someone help me out? [22:53] BA707: you can still do the network upgrade before 12.04.1, the instructions are in the release notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_10.04_LTS_to_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS (which were linked from my link above) [22:55] anybody?

[23:16] Thanks [23:16] IBMHPGOOGLE, Good luck! [23:16] its the school mailserver [23:16] venoverde: IMAP, POP? [23:16] venoverde: what is the domain name, so I can do a portscan [23:16] if i install antivirus on wine will it work fine for ubuntu...? [23:16] subcool: you know if you make any changes in the bios after running the Boot-Repair you have to run it again? ( at least i did ) like changing drive boot order etc etc [23:16] where i go, and they also have the bittorent application blocked as well [23:16] Check the wine compatability database SPhcT [23:17] SPhcT, it may work for the windows applications, but you can still get viruses on your host system [23:17] sk1special: i havent gotten boot repair to work. [23:17] venoverde: it can be due to the LAN (local area network) settings ... [23:17] sk1special: im running into noob issues, but ... im just an idiot.. [23:17] !virus | josefnpat SPhcT [23:17] josefnpat SPhcT: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [23:18] venoverde: do you want me to help you or should I shut up? [23:18] subcool: so am i no worries :] a week or two into linux now lol. you tried just running it while in ubuntu not on a cd or anything? [23:18] sk1special: sudo grub-install /dev/sda1 /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?). [23:18] L3top, read that can't istall avast... shows bad package.. [23:19] well the here you go http://www.vistacollege.edu/ [23:19] sk1special: no- appears after loading into grub-repair.. it doesnt see the Ubuntu grub or something? idk... im running liveusb right now- and i got that error [23:19] try it out lix [23:19] subcool: *shrug* i can help with some common sense ideas..and anything ive broken someones showed me how to fix.. but beyond that.. is beyond me :p [23:19] !wine | SPhcT I think this has the db of working programs [23:19] SPhcT I think this has the db of working programs: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [23:20] ya, this is kinda easy stuff- but at hte same time ... not- im out of practice. [23:20] subcool: you tried just updating the grub via terminal? [23:21] sk1special: i forgot the command, [23:21] grub update? [23:21] hello [23:21] sudo update-grub [23:21] venoverde: POPs & IMAPs should be available on your university's mailserver [23:21] i believe [23:22] /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). [23:22] venoverde: try IMAP vistacollege.edu on port 993 or POP on 995 [23:23] 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] venoverde: avtually this is not an Ubuntu related issue. - the easiest is to contact the systems administrator of your University [23:23] 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] 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] because it goes over the application compatibility database... but so be it... you are on your own [23:24] 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] megalodonnl: what gpu and what driver? [23:25] venoverde: you can tunnel your bittorrent traffic [23:25] venoverde: either use a VPN or SSH tunnel [23:25] yeah i was thinking about that but i need a vpn in order to do that correct [23:26] venoverde: affirmative [23:26] radeon 3000series igp and just the proprietary drivers for it that ubuntu suggests [23:26] subcool: check out this link..and i will keep looking around http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10095234 [23:26] interesting [23:26] megalodonnl: because the fglrx driver dropped support for your card. [23:27] megalodonnl: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_catalyst_legacy2&num=1 [23:27] 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] It will display, it will not work as it should megalodonnl. [23:27] today ubuntu 10.04 stopped displaying 1900x1200 and i can't change it back [23:27] Why do I keep dc? [23:28] L3top: But it actually works great, but I assume the cpu gets more load this way? [23:28] lix, it's not working completely [23:28] megalodonnl: you should use the native xserver-xorg-video-radeon driver... you should also purge the fglrx [23:28] someitalian123: tell me [23:28] megalodonnl: how does it work great if your initial question was why it worked better without it? [23:28] venoverde: interesting? [23:28] You guys are killing me. afk. [23:29] L3top: I ve installed numerous times for testing purposes and Iḿ just saying all vids play perfect without installing any drivers [23:29] I just thought thatś odd [23:29] oh sorry just remarking on using the vpn or ssh [23:30] it never occured to me but any good vpn server you know of in order to tunnel traffic [23:30] here's what i have now http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11966006#post11966006 [23:30] the thing is it ever created a link called pvr150 [23:30] meaning that I also installed those suggested drivers and performance was horrible until I used flash-aid [23:30] and skype can't see the symbolic links [23:30] *never [23:31] venoverde: I have my own VPN servers around the globe... hum... [23:31] someitalian123: hangon ... [23:31] venoverde: maybe you can use TOR? [23:33] 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] I've put 11.10 on my netbook and I'm very new to it. [23:34] hello === james is now known as Guest11320 [23:34] Hello :) [23:34] im bored [23:34] 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] i gotta say lubuntu 12.04 runs ten times better than ubuntu 12.04...netbook flies now [23:35] 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] every time i upgrade ubuntu i lose my ampache configuration. is there a way to avoid it? [23:35] I really don't know much at all and was looking for a reliable resource. [23:36] I noticed that I accidently used SYSFS{name} instead of ATTR{name} that might be why the link was never created [23:36] OK... I'm looking at this message (during upgrade from v10.04 LTS (desktop) -> 12.04 LTS... [23:36] but still skype doesn't recognize them [23:36] The support in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for your Intel graphics hardware is limited and you may encounter problems after the upgrade. [23:36] Is this a SURE thing that I am going to have trouble ??? [23:37] someitalian: sorry, cant help you. asked also a friend about your problem, but we're currently in another discussion. - excuse me [23:37] any improvement on ati cards for unity / gnome 3.4 yet? [23:37] Hardware is: Dell Dimesion 2400 2.4 GHz - 2.5 GB RAM [23:38] unity is the sux0r [23:38] well thanks for trying, you poinbted me in the right direction at least [23:40] someitalian123: welcome. did my best (for the moment) [23:40] I didn't know my Dog was in here.. He'd better NOT be on the computer in the living room !!! [23:40] BA707: is he watching LOLcat-Pr0n? [23:41] LOL [23:41] :-P [23:41] Probably, but he knows that's just going to make him go blind.. [23:42] BA707: surely [23:43] BA707: I think https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/i8xxUnsupported is further information, if I follow bug 941172 (assuming that is the chipset you have) [23:43] Launchpad bug 941172 in update-manager (Ubuntu Precise) "do-release-update to Precise produces a hardware-not-support-in-Natty warning" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/941172 [23:44] is there any program what clean cache and temporally files for ubuntu..? [23:44] 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] SPhcT: sudo apt-get clean and /tmp is cleared every boot [23:46] 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] 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] BA707: you won't be able to downgrade, you'll have to backup and reinstall [23:52] 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] trism: Ahh.. I see... OK... If that happens I'll just nuke and re-install v10.04 again.. [23:53] [23:54] 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] 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] BA707: good luck! [23:55] Question - I'm trying to figure out how to hook up an IP camera to Motion.
