[00:00] DarkLobster: welcome [00:04] Hey guys. is it Normal for Ubuntu to Make my computer run hotter then it dose in windows? [00:05] i Average 41c in windows and i average 65c in ubuntu [00:05] MrGizmo757: Maybe look into cpu frequency scaling === jimi is now known as jimi_ [00:05] MrGizmo757: but that's not normal and really weird that it's hotter! [00:06] I am getting this error after upgrading: Could not read DVD. This may be because the DVD is encrypted and a DVD decryption library is not installed. [00:06] I am not able to mount a shared partition on my computer ( shared between ubuntu and windows). I get an "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: ERROR: real size does not equal to size (0 != 4083007488)." Any help appreciated! [00:06] the CPU limit is 85 according to intel. so its still in the safe zone. but it still makes me a little nervous [00:07] jimi_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Installing_libdvdcss === Logan_ is now known as k [00:07] Using Ubuntu 11.04; have an encrypted partition. I back up with tar - I imagine I must create an encrypted partition on a back up drive in order to back up the info on my encrypted partition - is this correct? [00:07] OerHeks, its already installed [00:07] updating to 11.04 right now.. [00:08] jimi_, i know there are still encrypted dvd's that does not run after this script. [00:08] hello folks...I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a samsung notebook and after stating that it has successfully installed and needs to reboot...it just keeps on restarting itself without getting past the boot screen...anyone know this issue ? [00:09] I cant click allow of flash player tab, any help ? [00:09] did you remove the install cd? [00:10] blackmatrix_ny, did you remove the install cd? [00:10] Anyone?! [00:10] blackmatrix_ny, is this a install from windows or a partitioned install? [00:10] gmachine_24, I used a usb and yea I removed the install usb before rebooting [00:11] wilee-nilee, I booted from the usb and did a test run and everything looked good and installation was smooth too [00:11] blackmatrix_ny, sometimes I've had to actually turn the machine off completely and then turn it back on to get the install to work. [00:12] gmachine_24, its not responding to a power button hold or lid close...trying to figure out how to remove battery to completely shut it down [00:12] Grub is waiting at a menu allowing me to select the kernel or memtest86. It just sits there forever. This started when I held down "shift" once to revert to a earlier kernel, how do I stop it? [00:12] spacetiger: BYC Paste your /etc/fstab & fdisk result [00:12] blackmatrix_ny, try crtl-alt-o=prtsc REISUB run the leters slowly [00:13] ok - Um Can anyone help me with my grub? pLease [00:13] im having issues [00:13] blackmatrix_ny, crtl-alt-prtsc REISUB [00:13] subcool, what are your issues [00:13] hello [00:14] i have a partition with ubuntu, but im not sure which one is is anymore (im kinda close). Installed win7 and lost grub. [00:14] gmachine_24: trying to recover that lost ubuntu [00:14] subcool, what happens when you turn the computer on? [00:14] wilee-nilee, wouldn't let me a chance to type that...it just in a crazy cycle of rebooting...I can only press f2 successively and get into the bios to stop it from doing that [00:14] !bootinfo | subcool [00:14] subcool: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [00:15] blackmatrix_ny, I see the description is getting clearer now, not sure really. [00:15] soo im in bash right .... and im trying to arrow around through my input .. and instead of moving the cursor .. im getting ^[[D^[[D [00:16] anyone know what this is aboot? [00:16] subcool, if you run that script and pastebin it we can most likely get you set. [00:16] BYC, etc/fstab: http://pastebin.com/8EWawF0q fdisk -l: http://pastebin.com/JGGGpUvw [00:16] blackmatrix_ny, sounds as if you should remove the battery and then perhaps reboot without the battery if you have the electrical cord etc. [00:17] Should I do the same thing with grub waiting at a menu forever until i select the only kernel? [00:17] gmachine_24, Let me try that...im a bit worried that the SSD might not be ready when the OS is trying to read from it...not really sure what is going on [00:17] delingquentme: The previous command is still running [00:17] gmachine_24, there is a root_delay kernel parameter you can try if blackmatrix_ny is correct [00:18] blackmatrix, _ny, well if you can't turn the computer off that's a problem right there. [00:18] hi, my volume hotkeys no longer work. xev detects them, but the volup/voldown assignments do nothing. [00:19] Is there a gui or something for grub I can persuade to boot the system without manual intervention? [00:20] Aethrs, there is a timeout in /etc/default/grub [00:21] Aethrs, if you're relatively new to Ubuntu/Linux and even if you're not I often recommend people try a CD they can make from http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ supergrub disk 2 or rescatux - you can d/l the iso, burn it to a cd and then boot to a fix-it menu. [00:21] escott- Thanks for the suggestion. GRUB_TIMEOUT=10, however grub will wait at least an hour. [00:21] gmachine_24, ok I was able to do a hard reboot from the bios by holding the power button...still in the same cycle...it would not even boot from USB either [00:21] GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0.. Not sure what this is. [00:21] is there an issue with the medibuntu repository right now? my machine can't connect to it... [00:22] Aethrs, once it sees an up/down arrow i think it waits indefinitely for an ENTER, but otherwise the Timeouts should hold [00:22] hi folks; just swapped the hard drive in my lenovo t420 under warranty ; and i ran the smartmontools on the new drive with these results for the long test: https://gist.github.com/2782166 ... however the DISK UTILITY says pending sector count: 20. ... not sure if there is a conflict here or if i should be concerned... [00:22] escott- No up/down arrow. [00:22] escott- I'm just watching the virtual machine boot, not even clicked on the window. [00:22] escott- This started when my /boot filled up and it fubar'd a kernel. I had to hold down shift to get a grub menu and boot from an earlier one. I uninstalled manu kernels [00:22] Aethrs, i would comment the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT (or at least change it to 1 -- 0 often means infinity) [00:23] Aethrs, after you make that change be sure to run update-grub [00:23] Running update-grub now. [00:23] Aethrs, were you able to otherwise fix your full /boot [00:23] escott- Apparently all I need to do was hold down shift during boot! I was able to select an earlier kernel and all is well. [00:24] So all that crap with boot rescue and otherwise was really the wrong track... Which was good because I couldn't get any of it to work. [00:24] BYC, any leads? [00:24] Aethrs, but you know how to remove old kernel with dpkg when your /boot fills? [00:25] escott- I used apt-get remove [00:25] escott- But yes, boot has plenty of room now. [00:25] has anyone been reporting issues with the medibuntu repository right now? my machine can't connect to it... [00:25] Aethrs, ok. just wanted to check that you got that fixed properly [00:26] mophead, post the error in a pastebin, have you tried changing servers? [00:26] escott- Rebooting the machine now. I'm watching it at the grub menu so hopefully it gets past it in 10 seconds.(I set the hidden to 10.) [00:26] Unfortunately.. it seems to be just sitting there dumbly :( [00:26] Aethrs, is grub_default set properly? [00:27] escott- It may not be. How can I check? I removed the 'latest' kernel which was fubar. [00:28] spacetiger: can't see any shared partion in your fstab is this error occured in your booting progress? [00:35] Even installing a new kernel doesn't help. It shows both kernels but doesn't appear to have a clue which one to use by default.

It's supposed to #include , but that file doesn't seem to exist in any package. From what I've just read, stdarg is compiler-dependent so it's tucked away in a dir like /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4/include.

[01:13] Enkwi: depends on the irc server. this server does tell te ip to clients [01:13] there are default community names like private and public, and snmpwalk will poll those by default.

[01:25] I did paste my output to pastebin [01:25] lix, and mint is based on ubuntu. but we DONT offer support for those systems in here [01:26] sorry if im off guys [01:26] bye guys! I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO!! === wilee-nilee is now known as eegor [01:26] i can tell im not getting help here huh? [01:26] -_- [01:27] what your prob [01:27] I just explained it, i have debian squeeze which incase anyone needs to know is essentially the underpinning of ubuntu [01:27] sideup66, you should be asking in #debian they will be better able to answer your questions. there are differences between the releases. i can't tell you to use jockey to install drivers because debian doesnt have jockey [01:27] sideone, not supported here.

[01:30] sideup66, you are welcome to pm lix. he seemed willing to help, but it should be kept off the channel [01:30] i cant boot ubuntu w.o the usb [01:30] hmm ok [01:30] eummç [01:30] Anyone know a good S3 client for Linux? I'm using dragondisk but I am not satisfied with it. It doesn't always do what I tell it to, such as delete a directory...

[02:00] _pg_, fsck can't identify what kind of ext it is because the superblock is corrupted. so tell it to use the backup and it should identify that it is ext4 and then use the journal [02:00] _pg_, http://www.admon.org/using-alternative-superblock-to-check-ext3/ [02:00] when running service --status-all what is the difference between the "+,-,?" ?

I at first thought it was an issue specific to my machine, but I'm seeing it pretty much everywhere I turn. In one case, I was using a machine with a Radeon 6450, and the packaged radeon driver was in sue, but it seemed like the GPU still didin't handle much of the Gnome load. [02:11] Is this something that most people are just kind of grinning and bearing, or does some magic combination of decreased visual performance and "just the right driver" actually elevate the issue? [02:12] s/elevate/illeviate/ [02:13] you know what, I just can't spell, I need to find a new mode of communication =| [02:13] hi can anyone assist me with troubleshooting my laptop? [02:13] jimmyjohn: try morse-codes [02:13] checkm8: shoot [02:13] lix: my internal subwoofer is not working [02:14] lix: is there anything I can do? [02:14] jimmyjohn, packaged? meaning not fglrx [02:14] checkm8: checked pulseaudio sttings? [02:14] checkm8: or alsamixer in the command line? [02:14] <_pg_> escott: I think its working. [02:14] lix: I went into the "sound settings" in ubuntu 12.04 and subwoofer is grayed out [02:15] so basically I'd like an audible event when i plug in a usb device [02:15] escott: the driver was labeled "radeon", by packaged I mean to say it came with the OS, as opposed to being obtained from the manufacturer or other thrid party [02:15] checkm8: what notbook model? [02:15] lix: ASUS G73SW-XN2 [02:15] yea [02:15] matlock, on squeeze? [02:15] i got an asus m70 that linux doesn't like my subwoofer either [02:16] jimmyjohn, you could try fglrx it might be better [02:16] I dont want to go back to windoze >< [02:16] bazhang, yes I understand that this is an ubuntu channel but this type of thing shouldn't be distro specific [02:16] matlock, keep the posts in #debian please [02:16] and if you want i can open my ubuntu vm to work in there [02:17] Is this the right place to ask about some issues setting a dual screen with an Nvidia card in ubuntu 12.04? [02:17] races, what exactly is the issue? [02:17] races, with xrandr? [02:17] one of the screen is totally white? [02:18] I can move my mouse to the other screen but I cannot move apps windows there [02:18] races, let us know what driver you are using, nouveau or the nvidia proprietary drivers (installed through jockey) [02:18] sounds like you have two separate x sessions going on [02:18] checkm8: pls check here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1751107 [02:18] escott: ok, back.. running into a small problem.. [02:19] escott: I am using Nvidia version 295.33 [02:19] lix: I am reading it now I will get back to you and keep an eye on the channel [02:19] races, two possibilities (1) separate X servers or some kind of xinerama issue (2) no opengl on the second screen. when you try to move the windows do they just disappear on the other screen or is there some kind of boundary? [02:19] subcool, ok [02:19] checkm8: sure. and maybe read this too: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound [02:20] lix: thank you so much im reading now [02:20] escott: there is like boundary... Thats exactly the problem.. the other monitor remains white and even the mouse pointer is a "X" instead of a regular arrow [02:20] checkm8: you are welcome. just trying to help [02:20] escott, thanks for the advice. I haven't quite picked out a new desktop for this situation yet, but if I end up with an ATI card I'll try the fglrx drivers. [02:21] checkm8: am not familiar with the problem myself. - am just trying to find a solution for you to assist [02:21] <_pg_> escott: Thanks so much. Sorry I lost my cool [02:21] I've upgraded ubuntu to 12.04, and the fan is noiser than normal [02:21] on my netbook [02:21] help? [02:22] _pg_, but working now?

[02:22] escott: maybe you could have a better understanding if you read this post that I posted in Ubuntu Forums but nobody has replied so far http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1986365 [02:23] fslima0 (in the command line) [02:23] <_pg_> escott: Yeah. It is. [02:23] races, truth is i dont know much about nvidia [02:23] let me see [02:23] escott: my mouse wont let me cop/paste it.. [02:23] i know it's not the cpu scaling thing on full throttle [02:23] ok escott, thank you very much for trying to help... [02:23] lix: that is my post, and unfortunately that guy was so rude im afraid to post :X [02:23] because cpu is on its slowest frequency [02:24] fslima0: are you familiar with "top"? - you can see what process is using the CPU and system most... [02:24] escott: Do you know someone that I could reach to who has some experience with this kind of issues? [02:24] races, im a little puzzled by the existence of two Devices in the xorg.conf, but its been so long since ive looked at one. you should just ask the channel and provide whatever details you can [02:24] lix: i know... does not seem to be cpu related [02:24] <_pg_> escott: Seriously thou you gave me just enough to get it it fixed thank you. [02:24] Hello for all [02:24] checkm8: am sorry for that. rude guys in a forum is a nogo... [02:25] fslima0: I would say so. usually the fan cools the CPU [02:25] _pg_, its not a hard problem. if you ever get dropped to a read-only root run fsck [02:25] escott: The Channel? which channel? ubuntu Channel? or there is a Nvidia channel that I have missed it? [02:25] lix: its okay you have been more than helpful so far :) thank you for your effort. I still am browsing the forums for a solution, if i come by one I will post on the forum [02:25] races, this channel [02:25] escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1005796 [02:25] Hello ubuntu I was wondering what were some of the better twitter clients for ubuntu linux [02:25] <_pg_> escott: Everything is easy when you know how.

It tells me to update my daemon.conf [02:25] checkm8: do so, please. and please ignore "rude" posts. these people are useless... [02:25] alusion: what exactly does a twitter client do? [02:26] subcool, once you chroot in you run "sudo grub-install /dev/sdb" you do NOT specify a partition number so NOT sdb1 [02:26] <_pg_> escott: Could I have done tht from a TTY terminal ? Or no since im booted to the disk I need to unmount? [02:26] Random832, it is supposed to add more functionality and easier management for trending feeds and tweets [02:26] checkm8: daemon.conf ??? WTF! [02:26] checkm8: what for? [02:26] _pg_, if / is mounted read-only is not going to harm the disk to run fsck on it, but you should not run fsck when it is mounted read-write [02:27] checkm8: hangon [02:27] <_pg_> escott: And I cant be booted to it and make it read only correct? [02:27] escott: ok- now just reboot? is there a way to test it? [02:27] lix: the full path is /etc/pulse/daemon.conf [02:27] _pg_, you can always try to remount read-only, but when fully booted thats not likely to work (all those applications with open filehandles will be VERY unhappy) [02:28] subcool, if grub-install ran without error then you should be ok [02:28] checkm9: is it possible, you need a patch for alsa? http://forum.notebookreview.com/linux-compatibility-software/451594-asus-rog-g73-ubuntu-6.html [02:28] ok- thanks a lot [02:28] <_pg_> escott: I figured.

Last thing I did was trying to not start my Sybase server with command : update-rc -f sybase remove. [02:38] hi, i'm having issues with my laptop going to standby. I have a ASUS U56E and when it goes to standby the screen goes black but is still on. From there I can never get back and have to hold down the power button. [02:38] fslima0: and what did "top" say? [02:38] checkm8: it seems to be a kernel issue. I guess it has been included into 3.2 [02:38] checm8: ... at least [02:38] checkm8: but I have to check first... [02:39] lix: so what are the next steps? can I be of assistance anyhow? I do not know how to apply this patch. [02:39] I keep randomly getting an issue with my keyboard and mouse, i can click on buttons, but cant focus any editboxes and thus cant type. i have to continually reboot to solve this. any ideas? [02:41] checkm8: am not a kernel hacker, am sorry. divic is not online now, so try to contact him by jabber or mail: "https://launchpad.net/~diwic" [02:41] chckm8: he probably knows best [02:41] Omen 20: I read something that the Swap must be big enough to hold a copy of your RAM, just an idea [02:41] checkm8: but hangon: you say the subwoofer is "greyed out"? [02:42] fslima0: are you with me? [02:42] lix: yes it is grayed out [02:42] checkm8: which means, it is "recognised" [02:42] aldwinaldwin, Omen_20 you can't suspend if your swap is smaller than the RAM used by your processes. so that motivates a 1xRAM rule for many people [02:42] checkm8: hangon [02:42] aldwinaldwin, Omen_20, rather hibernate as opposed to suspend [02:43] aldwinaldwin, escott k.

Where would it be? Also, when i turn down the volume, the sound from the subwoofer stays the same volume. [02:53] fslima0: are you with me? [02:53] escott, for the gnome theme that looks like gnome2 right ? [02:53] checkm8: alsamixer can be run with more options. - try that [02:54] blackmatrix_ny, as i understand it, it is a forward ported version of gnome-panel minus all the stuff that couldnt get forward ported [02:54] in the launcher the dash workspace switcher and trash are all a boring grey how do i change it to blue [02:54] escott, cool...thanks mate [02:55] hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu alternate and I got the following error: "Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted..." When I retry it still doesn't work. It's weird because it booted from the CD and asked me my language + keyboard but now it can't boot from the CD. [02:55] any idea? === droid is now known as Guest76372 [02:55] tats, did you check the md5sum? [02:55] escott, so a ssl/ssh vnc server has to run on the machine Im trying to connect ?

[02:56] escott: no [02:56] lix and escott: I keep getting a message that says something about a ticket not being accepted. [02:56] blackmatrix_ny, i've never used vnc, but presumably [02:56] in the launcher the dash workspace switcher and trash are all a boring grey how do i change the icon color to blue [02:56] piihb, kerberos ticket, its part of the authentication process [02:57] escott: Does that help figuring out what's wrong :/ [02:57] Thanks for helping with grub, it worked. But stupid help guides f" me. That grub 4 DOS killed me. Somehow my wifi is disabled [02:57] anybody have the answers [02:58] escott: there was no md5sum indicated, I downloaded it from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads [02:58] blackmatrix_ny, vnc is different from ssh in that you run vnc with the session already started so the desktop already exists. so you might run a root vnc server and then login creating the session. ssh you just open the terminal and can open arbitrary windows outside of a gui session [02:58] tats, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [02:58] !hashes [02:58] See http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/12.04/MD5SUMS for the md5sums of the latest Ubuntu release [02:59] escott: shit, internal server error at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [02:59] tats try the mirror.anl link ^ [02:59] escott, check pm [02:59] OerHeks, check pm [02:59] !pm | harris [03:00] harris: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

[03:07] escott: no. it actually boots from the cd (cold boot) and asks for my language + keyboard, but then it gets to the "Detect and mount CD-ROM" part and it fails [03:07] escott: What does it mean "make sure you are connected to the Kerbos realm" ? [03:08] piihb, never really understood kerberos that well [03:09] Harris: try changing your display theme -- it's under System Settings > Appearance [03:10] tats, the standard thing to check is if the cd will boot on another system [03:11] escott: another system? you mean, eg. booting from a CD with another version of linux? [03:11] tats, no a different computer to see if the cd is working or not [03:11] escott: ok i see [03:11] well i'll have to reboot this computer then [03:11] i'll be back [03:12] tats, but if you have a known good cd thats a good thing to use as well [03:14] Yes [03:14] how do I stop 12.04 from bring the panel into view when I move the cursor to the left of the screen? [03:15] there are auto hide/neverhide/ options for that panel. i set mine to never hide [03:16] ccsm tool has settings for it. therre may be other place for the setting also. like in 'myunity' magicj [03:17] MagicJ: System > Appearance > Behaviour > "Auto hide Launcher" [03:18] lix: ty [03:18] MagicJ: you're welcome!

[03:22] oh nvm that was another service [03:22] has remastersys gone in 12.04 - where do I find it now? [03:22] how can you uncall something? [03:22] Anyone know of a simple accounting program similar to quickens but is open-source? [03:22] if you call someone up you have to travel back in time for it not to happen [03:22] sun_devil, gnucash [03:22] Harris: several times its been said.. to try differnt themes. [03:23] dr_willis, then how do i do it [03:23] I need help with ubunut server [03:23] escott: from sourceforge?

[03:25] sun_devil, look through apt. kmymoney? or is it kwallet [03:25] lol [03:25] hi where can I find the latest ppa of chromium? chromium-daily seems to have stopped at 18 [03:25] escott: ok, thanks [03:25] This might be a stupid question, but I can't find the solution anywhere. I'm trying to copy a .so file, but lucid lynx doesn't create a copy, but creates a (broken) link instead. What am I doing wrong? [03:26] the end button on my keyboard aint working :( not ending chat :( [03:26] jazzkovsky: why do you want to do this/ === irenicus09 is now known as Guest16926 [03:28] FyreFoX, there is no chromium ppa, just wait for chromium 19 [03:28] FyreFoX, the web?

[03:30] jrib, I need to copy and rename my libBulletDynamics.so.2.75 with it pointing at the 2.77 version I have installed. Trying to install free orion on lucid lynx :) [03:30] eeegor those PPa are only for oneiric [03:30] i use the faranza icon theme [03:30] escott: I'm assuming I should leave tty1.conf? [03:30] eeegor: it used to be current but then it stagnated and now is stuck on 18 since I moved to precise [03:30] OerHeks, did not say to use them. [03:30] escot, service lightdm (re)start => no joy ... is there somewhere a logfile to check? [03:31] dbummy, i would think so [03:31] aldwinaldwin, you could also try startx. logs would be in /var/log [03:31] escott, ok, will check it [03:33] kmymoney says works with KDE [03:33] many kde apps start with 'k' ;) [03:34] sort of an old standard.. not as common these days [03:35] you should be able to run most all kde apps on gnome [03:37] kool [03:38] hi [03:38] hi [03:39] FyreFoX, always look if the PPA actually supports your release, for chomium it would not really matter but, important with other packages in PPA's. [03:39] *chromium [03:40] i can't remember the nick of who was helping me ... anyhow, I'm still unable to properly mount my Ubuntu alternate cd-rom [03:40] i tried it on another system and it works fine [03:41] but on this computer it boots but when I try to install i run into problems [03:41] two kinds of problems [03:42] in the first kind of problem it asks me my language + keyboard but it then fails to mount the CD-ROM [03:42] the second kind of problems is that sometimes it won't even start the install process [03:43] there's a green-over-black msg at the top of the screen saying "Error xxxx reading sector 64" and a dialog "Boot loader: /install/vmlinuz: file not found" [03:44] it's weird [03:44] hi [03:44] error reading sounds like a bad/dirty disk or drive [03:45] Hey anyone attending Blackhat USA 2012?

Trying to install Handbrake and I get this error. [04:10] Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libnotify1 (>= 0.4.5) [04:12] LiquidEdge: (honestly) i'd try a different ppa for handbrake (man i wish handbrake was totally free software and could be in everyone's repositories) [04:13] zykotick9, Do you have one you can recommend? [04:13] !info handbrake [04:13] Package handbrake does not exist in precise [04:13] LiquidEdge: no sorry (don't run ubuntu) [04:13] installed handbrake here the other day 12.04 with no issues [04:13] dr_willis, Which ppa did you use? [04:13] dr_willis: the package names "should" be handbrake-gtk and handbrake-cli ;) [04:13] no idea LiquidEdge [04:14] I tried the gtk one and that's when I got that error. [04:14] I didn't use a ppa, came straight from the deb file [04:14] zykotick9, I used the tasksel to install [04:14] i just rcall being annoyed that they still use the name 'ghb' for the actual binary ;) this is 2012 we can handle descripttive names.. [04:14] LiquidEdge: that's your issue then. the deb file i mean - dpkg doesn't satify dependencies [04:14] LiquidEdge: you installed the .deb how exactly? [04:15] I dunno. I double clicked on it and it opened the software center then I got that message. [04:15] gdebi foo.deb will install all needed deps. ;) [04:15] Because the ppa didn't work, either. [04:15] And #handbrake seems to only people in there if they're willing to idle. [04:15] U.S.C. might satify dependencies? i wouldn't know ;) [04:16] seems i used the stebbins ppa for handbrake [04:16] Ubuntu 12.04 is awesome [04:16] I'm getting 404 on the stebbins ppa [04:16] david-yenor, I agree [04:16] dr_willis: i know for a fact there is more then one ppa for handbrake, and i know some have issues [04:17] LiquidEdge: worked for me like 3 days ago [04:17] dr_willis: i certainly man not "up to date" ;) [04:17] there are ppa search tools [04:17] Anyone know of a better conversion client? [04:17] That's GUI so my wife can use it. [04:18] theres tone of ways to convert stuff [04:18] Just kidding, I need GUI. I suck. [04:18] depends on the details [04:18] Has anyone else experienced any bugs though with Precise? [04:18] LiquidEdge, the jstebbins ppa works 100% fine [04:18] Just converting mts to avi [04:18] LiquidEdge: try arista, or winff [04:18] LiquidEdge, how did you add it exactly [04:19] Here's my output: http://pastebin.com/a8rxiZLK [04:19] handbreak dosent convert to 'avi' last i looked. ;) [04:19] LiquidEdge, did you update your sources list after adding it? [04:19] Yes. [04:19] LiquidEdge, whats the command you used to add it [04:20] I have a complaint about Canonical. They don't send kernel patches to upstream. [04:20] metaphysician, wrong channel [04:20] LiquidEdge: if you want MP4 output, handbrake is often the easiest/best output available IMO (for other formats others can surpas handbrake's quality) [04:20] metaphysician, email them [04:21] I need to go from mts to avi [04:21] LiquidEdge: avi certainly IS NOT supported by handbrake, so you need something else [04:21] LiquidEdge, you mean m4v [04:21] arists, and winff can most likely do it LiquidEdge ' [04:21] arista [04:21] No. .mts [04:21] not sure ive ever seen a .mts [04:21] LiquidEdge, not much will go an avi container [04:21] mp4 is fine, too, I reckon [04:22] LiquidEdge, or m4v, as I just said [04:22] bazhang: m4v is mp4 - same thing [04:22] TIL m4v is mp4 [04:22] LiquidEdge, whats the exact command you used to add that ppa === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [04:22] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases [04:23] he has two iirc === quiesense is now known as quiescens [04:24] LiquidEdge, and you are on oneiric? natty? or what [04:24] 12.04 [04:24] Names confuse me [04:24] However, I am easily confused. [04:26] Any idea why /proc/mdstat yields, "md127 : inactive sdd1[1](S) sdc1[2](S) sdb1[3](S) sdh1[4](S) sdg1[5](S) sde1[0](S)". All the drives are healthy, but for some reason they are no longer attached to the raid and it's missing one (sdf). [04:26] anyone here good with networking and routers?

[04:29] Jeremy3D, ##networking perhaps [04:30] dr_willis: Normally a program looks for the libBulletDynamics.so shortcut file that would appropriately point to whatever version you may have installed. Not so with Free Orion. For some reason it wants the exact libBulletDynamics.so.2.75 file by version name. So, I'm still trying to copy my .so file. Is there no way? [04:30] how can I use sudo in a script so it runs a command as another user? [04:30] bazhang, thanks that seems to be valid. hopefully someone is there... [04:31] @vn sudo -u [04:31] but that doesn't reproduce the functionality sudo -c used to provide [04:31] bazhang, Yay! Working. Thanks so much. [04:31] if you need to run a command with a specific login class, i am not sure how to do that in Precise or even if login classes exist anymore as such [04:32] EliahKagan: how comes? and do you know why it got removed? [04:32] @vn i don't know, unfortunately -- i've never actually used sudo -c in my own scripts [04:33] EliahKagan: ok, gonna try -u [04:33] if you just need to run a command as a specific user, -u should do it for you [04:33] yeah, just virtualboxes === hoxily_realman is now known as `hoxily` [04:43] ugh someone earlier gave me the command to safely install xfce. I'm using 12.04 with gnome classic [04:43] anyone know it? [04:43] I use it on xubuntu [04:43] hey can any body help me copy a file into an encrypted folder [04:45] hello? [04:48] @wifioregon: the most standard way to install a fully functional Xfce on an existing Ubuntu system is [04:48] sudo apt-get update [04:48] sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [04:49] (or just install the xubuntu-desktop package in the Software Center) [04:49] if you want fewer applications that are not strictly necessary installed, and more of a bare-bones but fully functional xfce, you can use [04:49] sudo apt-get update [04:50] sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install xubuntu-desktop [04:52] jrib: got it working. just had to copy the .so file via the terminal (root) [04:55] I have two Linux distributions Debian and Ubuntu, and Windows installed in my computer. Ubuntu is the recently installed distro. Both are on an extended partition. I did a grub update from my Debian distro but it is failing to recognize Ubuntu.

[05:01] my OS is in portueguese.. [05:01] when you run sudo apt-get upgrade, it will only update packages that can be updated without installing or removing other packages [05:02] have you tried sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ? [05:02] EliahKagan: that's relevant [05:02] I'll try that. [05:02] EliahKagan: Thanks so much. That worked [05:02] (it's not only, or even primarily, for upgrading to a new release -- in fact, except for "early" upgrades to unstable releases, it is not a recommended way to upgrade released in Ubuntu) [05:02] EliahKagan: that's the ticket right there.

[05:06] RealEyes: #compiz channel for that [05:06] RealEyes, in unity 3d or 2d [05:07] 3d [05:07] and come compiz plugins dont work well with unity and its other plugins [05:07] i have compiz installed [05:07] RealEyes, does not clicking workspaces do it [05:07] it does [05:07] but i want it set to an edge [05:07] Hi i have a new hp laptop and the hard drive has already 4 partitions. I really don't want to mess around with it so i decided to try to install wubi? What is the difference between a regular partition and will i notice any difference in performance especially? [05:07] any ideas bazhang? === miwa_ is now known as miwa [05:07] Hi [05:07] RealEyes: do you have compizconifg-settings-manager installed [05:08] yes [05:08] RealEyes, I only know for 2d, that works [05:08] how can i tell if im in 2d or 3d? [05:08] RealEyes: and the Unity compatibility plugin enabled? [05:08] Daniel110, you can use wubi, though it's more of a trial run, better to dual boot [05:08] Daniel110: wubi can be very fragile. if you are just wanting to test out ubuntu, you couldl use virtualbox, or install to a decnetly cheap these days flash drive. [05:08] GeekSquid, where is that? [05:09] @Daniel110: wubi installs Ubuntu in a disk image file inside an NTFS (Windows) partition, which is mounted when it boots, so it doesn't add any partitions; in terms of performance, it may be slower because it is slower to access a disk image in NTFS than to access a real ext4 (or similar) filesystem [05:09] RealEyes, in ccsm [05:09] ok im there [05:09] now where? [05:09] it's also sometimes more difficult to recover data from a broken Wubi system [05:09] anyone able to help with tomcat? [05:09] and wubi seems to like to break... [05:09] general? utility? [05:09] Daniel110: the fact that OEMs use 4 partitions is, i believe, a direct attempt to dicourage people from installing gnu/linux :( [05:09] ccsm has a search feature i think [05:10] i found the unity plugin it's enabled [05:10] RealEyes: unity plugin has to be enabled or unity wont work. :) [05:10] ah k thanks i am already using virtualbox but i runs really slow, has anyone installed ubuntu on an hp laptop with 4 partitions? [05:10] its enabled dr_willis [05:10] Daniel110: i always just buy a new hd for my new laptops ;P forbackups and linux, and keep the original somewherfe safe [05:11] RealEyes: of course it is...if it wasent - you wouldentbe using unity. [05:11] lol [05:12] last laptop i bought.. i bought a 2nd hd for it.. got it home. and realized the beast could take 2 hard drives.. ;) [05:12] @Daniel110: VirtualBox shouldn't be too slow but it will almost definitely be slower than Wubi; if you tell us what each of the four existing partitions are for, that might help [05:12] that gave linux itd own 500gb hd. [05:12] no one is talking in #compiz lol [05:12] dr_willis: the prolblem is that i still need windows so i would rather install it on my current hard drive [05:12] you probably have a recovery partition for restoring the OEM windows system, and a Windows system partition ...but what are the other two? [05:12] Daniel110: dependong on whats in the 4 partitions, you can backup then remove them [05:12] if one of them is a backup partition, you may just be able to transfer its data elsewhere, remove it, and recreate it inside an extended partition [05:12] RealEyes: realize most of the english speaking world is sleeping right now [05:13] Daniel110: if you want to keep your system (and possible update to next version) i'd say vbox is possibly less hassle then wubi [05:13] at 10:30pm? [05:13] lame [05:13] System, C:, Recovery, HP_TOOLS [05:13] its 1+am in the usa [05:13] are they in that order, on the disk? [05:13] RealEyes: you might be on the west coast, however New York and London are getting zzz's [05:14] awh [05:14] yes [05:14] Daniel110: be sure to make a dvd-restore disk set befor messing with too much ;) [05:14] ah no sorry [05:14] you may want to look at your documentation first, but it seems to me that you should be able to remove and recreate the HP_TOOLS partition without problems [05:14] alrady did [05:14] is it possible to have Ubuntu look, feel, and behave like Mac OS X Lion? Apple states Lion is the world's most advanced desktop OS. [05:15] bongsawyer: apple states a lot of false claims and outright lies. [05:15] if you do that, i'd make sure to put it first in the extended partition [05:15] dr_willis: don't feed ;) [05:15] ;) [05:15] I haven't seen Lion. [05:15] so that anything that relies on drive letters will likely assign the same one two it that it had before [05:15] But Macbuntu is pretty handy. [05:16] Ok [05:16] of course apple is going to say that [05:16] *to it [05:16] macbuntu - handy way to trash your install [05:16] quit [05:16] why the hell does hp do this?? [05:16] zykotick9 is a wanker. [05:17] Hello [05:17] Do they get paid by microsoft? [05:17] hi AndChat|565409 [05:17] you mean why don't they put the fourth partition in an extended partition, or use something besides an MSDOS disklabel (like GPT) that lets you have more than four primary partitions? [05:17] Daniel110: now ya know why first thing i do with a new laptop is image the whole hd via dd to some other hd. for backups [05:17] GeekSquid: its not really working [05:18] its only recording an area of the size of the control window which is just a small patch of the entire screen even though i select it to capture a bigger window [05:19] diverdude: dr_willis reccommended kazam ... try that [05:19] dr_willis: ye i do the same thing on a cd but i just don't get how use all of the 4 partitions when they know that not everyone buying their laptops will use windows [05:19] dfg [05:19] can anyone help me configure my network? i was using tutorials, but when i enter the code it says command not found. I was told to do sudo lim/etc/netwrok/interfaces but that doesn't work [05:19] Daniel110: its cheaper and easier for them to not worry about the customer [05:20] @Vani it looks like you have a typo in the command [05:20] can you point us to the instructions you're using? [05:20] Vani: sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces ... or nano /etc/network/interfaces [05:20] >-< no that was just a typo on here, i've been typing it in to Ubuntujust fine [05:20] when did it become 'ok' to take away 10+% of the hard drive for os-restoreing [05:20] so it says you don't have vim? [05:20] try vi [05:21] if i do sudo vim it takes me into vim, but it won't take me into the further parts? [05:21] yeah, vi will work...or if you want a simpler editor, you can use nano instead [05:21] Vani: lim isn't an editor - and why are you editing /etc/network/interfaces? that will disable network-manager for any device you add. [05:21] ok [05:21] or install vim with [05:21] oh.. nano is doing something now [05:21] sudo apt-get install vim [05:21] Hi [05:22] well, will it install it if i don't have internet connection? [05:22] I need some help with Windows software [05:22] vim should be instlled by default [05:22] Vani: "sudo apt-get install vim" is the 1st thing i do on any debian-based system, the default vim-tiny doesn't cut it [05:22] but zykotick9 has a good point -- you should make sure you really want manual network configuration rather than NetworkManager for whatever interfaces you edit [05:22] luigi: this is not the place for that ... #windows might be a better place [05:22] luigi: you mean running windows software on ubuntu? [05:22] @luigi or are you trying to run the Windows software on Ubuntu? [05:22] oh, wait, i'd said i can get into vim itself, but when i type the whole thing it doesn't work. [05:22] Does someone in here knows how to install Zune software in Ubuntu? [05:23] luigi: did you try wine? [05:23] How is it i add a ppa in the terminal? [05:23] Oh, ok.

I want to remove Unity and GNOME packages in the process. [05:24] luigi: As far as I know, the Zune software does not work on Ubuntu, even with Wine.

[06:23] if you only hasve a wireless connection to the internet from your pc. then you may need to do addational work getting your WIreLESS card working in linux.. nothing to do with the modem/router [06:27] well i just checked, and we have a wireless router. I kinda figured I'd have to do some extra work, since when i was intalling it couldn't find anything under etho or wireless... so i skipped it.. [06:34] easiest thing to do woul dbe to run a wire for a short time, install all updates/upgrades and run the addational drivers tool to see if it suggests any extra wireless drivers === Odenthaa is now known as Odysimus [06:35] errr.. guess i'll have to wait till tomorrow for that, cause i dunno where any wires to do that would be at, since my dad is in charge of that. [06:35] Vani: just to make sure, you are trying to set up a laptop right? [06:35] Yeah [06:36] Vani: can you use http://paste.ubuntu.com and put the output of "lspci" into it? [06:36] I debated trying to do it on the desktop i'm on, but this desktop was made in 2003, and it's 32 bit, and i had the 64 bit version was i was worried it wouldn't run right. [06:37] umm.. i'll check it out? [06:37] 64bit os wont run on 32bit hardware [06:37] so it wouldent have been an issue. ;) [06:37] dr_willis has a taste in trance =) [06:38] uhh.. wouldn't it just not running be an issue? [06:38] Hello, I just installed an ATI/AMD video card on my computer. Used to have Nvidia. How do I uninstall the Nvidia drivers? In jokey it shows only the AMD/ATI ones now and no option to remove the Nvidia ones. Should I run sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-current ? - Will this do it? [06:38] 'wouldent run right' --. it woldent run at all. [06:38] hey, i am looking for an upstart event my battery management can start on. this is what i tried: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1005983/ this is what i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/1005984/ [06:39] well.. not running at all, still wouldn't be running right. I did figure it wouldn't run, but I knew if it could somehow do that, that it would have problems [06:39] shape check the xorg.conf file also. you may need to remove it. or rename it.. or edit it [06:40] dr_willis, is there a GUI way to do this? [06:40] vani lubuntu or even ubuntu may run ok on that box. dependin on its hardware [06:40] shape for what : its just a text file... look for it/at it... [06:40] well.. either way i'd still have the internet problem [06:40] dr_willis so what should I do about xorg.conf ? [06:41] Vani: can you run "lspci" in a terminal and look for something with "network" in the name? [06:41] DarwinSurvivor, lol nice nick. :) [06:41] booi: thank you [06:41] shape if its beenb customized for your nvidia card. remove/remame it.. you can rename it anyway if you wanted to be extra safe.. but it may not even exist.. so go see if its there [06:42] Any mdadm experts here? My controller card falsely disabled 6 of my 7 raid disks and messed up their superblocks. Can I safely wipe the superblocks from those 6 drives and recreate the array? Do I need to figure out the correct order (since they may not be in order of drive letter?) [06:42] dr_willis, so if i rename it, when I install the ati drivers a new xorg.conf will be created correct? [06:42] shape an xorg.conf is often not needed at all [06:42] uhh.. in a terminal? like when using desktop version? I think if i were on desktop it would be easier, i'm on server, and I probably shouldn't be cause I don't know what I'm doing yet.. [06:43] why did you instgall the server edition vani? what was you hoping to gain by that [06:44] well.... I was using elithecomputerguy@youtube.com's tutorials, and it sounded like he was mostly gonna use server version, and he was saying how a lot of the things don't work as well in desktop [06:44] i cant imasgine anything that works 'better' on a server thsat wouldent work as well on a desktop [06:45] so i sugest doing a desktop install.. [06:45] and i realized later that i could have use desktop and used the terminal... well.. Yeah, I dunno, I'm listening to other people because i don't know === asus is now known as Guest67180 [06:46] I have it on a boot disk, cause i was originall going to do that, and then his first actually tutorial he was saying he was using server... [06:46] Vani: well lesson learned and now you can spend a fun 30 minutes for a reinstall :) [06:46] dr_willis I cant rename the xorg file [06:46] might be a good ideas to find a better set of tutorials.... [06:47] shape its a system file. so you need root rights to do it.. linux fundamentals [06:47] Vani: I just browsed his videos and most of them appear to be on fairly advanced topics (VPN, tcp/ip, snmp, etc). I'd recommend sticking with the ubuntu desktop tutorials and then going back to his videos after you've learned your way around linux first [06:47] sudo mv /pth/to/thing /path/to/thing.backup [06:47] yeahhh.... I kinda think so too, because the version he was using in the tutorail was from 2010 or something, so i keep seeing differences and getting confused [06:48] Vani: go with desktop version. All the underlying stuff is the same except also installs a GUI which make the computer MUCH easier to use [06:48] dr_willis yep, thanks! But may I ask, isn't xorg.conf needed? [06:49] shape x auto configures for the most part these days.. been that way for like 2+ years now [06:49] shape: xorg.conf is no longer needed. it is only used when you want to change defaults and do some fairly special setups. for 95% of users, they will never need one [06:49] look in the xorg.conf file. its most likely like 4 lines.. [06:49] what's the code to shut down? [06:49] Vani: sudo halt [06:49] all my xorg.conf does is eneable twinview and the monitor layout [06:50] vani or 'shutdown' logical eh? [06:50] or 'sudo shutdown -h now' [06:50] ahh, yeah the sudo shutdown -h now is the one i saw last night. [06:50] dr_willis, done, so now I just have to install the Ati drivers correct? [06:50] i'm getting tired and felt lazy, and you guys know it so i figured i'd just ask you guys [06:51] Vani: heh you should come here more often if you can't find a recent tutorial(s) [06:51] shape many ati cards are decently supported (or only supported) by the gpl drivers. so it depends on your card [06:51] #ubuntu [06:51] Hi there. [06:51] DarwinSurvivor, Thanks btw! === sajimon_ is now known as sajimon [06:52] dr_willis, I need to install the drivers so I can get 3d acceleration working :( [06:52] Is someone using Live voyager on a liveusb ? [06:52] yeah.. well.. even after i realized when trying to look at the network information that i needed a space, it still messed up again.. [06:52] never heard of 'live voyager' [06:52] That's a fork of xubuntu (12.04) [06:52] live voyager makese me think star trek... [06:53] unofficiaal ubuntu variants are not supported here. check their own channels, or web sites [06:53] shape: no problem === stiv2k_ is now known as stiv2k [06:53] Argh, they do not own irc in fact.. [06:54] 'own'? theres no cost for them to have an irc channel here. [06:54] But, that's the same software center. So, can I ask you something ? [06:58] sheep_: because you asked nicely and because it's so quiet in here right now, I'll try to answer your question. but understand that there's a good chance the answer may be specific to your variant of ubuntu [07:00] abcde [07:00] Hello guys, I have apache 2.2 installed and working perfectly but my php5-cgi not working properly, where should I look for errors? [07:01] abc [07:01] Shani0610: if your site isn't working, how do you know apache is? [07:01] @DarwinSurvivor Ok, my liveusb is persistent. I tried to install libreoffice but it did not find the package. Then I went to Synaptic and discovered that the only software available were already installed. [07:02] Hello, I tried installing the Ati proprietary drivers (post-release) and It said "Sorry, installation of this driver failed. Please have a look at the log file for details: jokey.log Should I paste-bin the log file. I looked in it and can't understand a thing. [07:02] sheep_: does it use the "software center" or another tool for installing software? [07:03] any1 has a tutorial to set up a router with a latest version of debian or ubuntu? [07:03] @DarwinSurvivor It uses the software center. Libreoffice is usualy in the sources. [07:04] sheep_: can you printscreen it, I think you may be on the wrong page [07:05] really odd question.. but i been trying to figure it out on my own and keep hitting dead ends... i have a flash drive with a bad sector.. and i cant get it to load in windows or ubuntu.. i use ubuntu however and i want to try to recover what i can.. [07:06] lukicat: web should be full of it, keywords are "ip-forwarding/-masquerading, dnsmasq" [07:06] anyone have any idea where to look for information or any suggestions for me on recovering the files.. i do know what sector is bad.. and that it must be in the part of the FS that loads when its connected.. [07:06] Hello guys, I have apache 2.2 installed and working perfectly but my php5-cgi not working properly, where should I look for errors? [07:07] trippy3199us: try "photorec" it was originally designed to recover pictures from flashcards, but apparently works fairly well for other files on usb drives as well [07:07] Shani0610: if your site isn't working, how do you know apache is? [07:07] @DarwinSurvivor http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/capturedcran-25052012-090508.php http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/capturedcran-25052012-090525.php [07:07] thanks so much darwinsurvivor [07:07] trippy3199us: no problem [07:08] @DarwinSurvivor I don't know if you master french, it means : Not found, There is no package named "libreoffice" in your actual sources [07:08] sheep_: what happens when you click on one of the libreoffice ones? [07:09] sheep_: I'm fluent in french :) [07:09] DarwinSurvivor, I am pretty sure cuz I have checked my own templates properly working as desired, now i need php whivh is not working. [07:09] @DarwinSurvivor The second screenshot is when I click it. [07:09] Shani0610: have you used apache to display anything else? [07:10] sheep_: so when you click on one of the in screenshot #1, it shows you screenshot #2? [07:10] *them [07:10] @DarwinSurvir Exactly. [07:10] DarwinSurvivor, can you rephrase? specially else === christusus is now known as aspergerdude [07:11] @DarwinSurvivor The 3rd is my sources, which are all activated. [07:11] sheep_: that sounds like an issue specific to your variant, I'm afraid we won't be able to help you with this problem here since they most likely use different repositories [07:12] @DarwinSurvivor That's the same repositories as xubuntu 12.04. [07:12] Shani0610: if you go into "/var/log" there should be 2 things called "apache" or "httpd". one will say "errors", that's the one you want === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [07:13] sheep_: well, they've obviously changed *something* (or it wouldn't be a variant), so you'll have to use their support channels [07:13] trippy3199us: DarwinSurvivor: Photorec isn't the first tool I would use if you're certain that the problem is a bad sector, it's more for recovering from software errors (overwritten filesystems) than hardware ones. I recommend first using GNU ddrescue (*not* dd_rescue) to create a full disk image, then if you can't mount the partition from the disk image running photorec on the image would be a good idea. [07:14] trippy3199us: Jordan_U has a point, you should make a full image of the drive first. If you know which device it is, use dd to make a copy ex: "sudo dd if=/dev/sdXY of=/home/my_username/flashdrive_backup.img" [07:15] trippy3199us: replace X and Y with the appropriate values [07:15] trippy3199us: also, how did you find out it has a bad sector? [07:15] trippy3199us: DarwinSurvivor: If you know that there is a bad sector then dd won't be particularly useful. Use GNU ddrescue which is made to handle drives with bad sectors. [07:16] DarwinSurvivor, I have php5-cgi installed. [07:16] @DarwinSurvivor Yes, but they keep the same operating as xubuntu. [07:17] @DarwinSurvivor We can UPDATE live voyager to a xubuntu. [07:17] Shani0610: if you go into "/var/log" there should be 2 things called "apache" or "httpd". one will say "errors", that's the one you want [07:19] !info libreoffice | sheep_ libreoffice is in main-repo, so check your sources [07:19] sheep_ libreoffice is in main-repo, so check your sources: libreoffice (source: libreoffice): office productivity suite.

[07:21] legend2440 did you follow these instructions?: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [07:21] DarwinSurvivor: thanks I will check it out [07:22] Hey guys - I'm running 12.04 in a VM through VirtualBox. I've started up guacd (part of the guacamole RDP server), and am trying to connect to it via localhost:4822, but my browser never gets a response from the server. Any ideas? [07:22] umm..i have both server and desktop version downloaded, at bootup screen is desktop th 24-generic-pae or the 23-generic (on dev/sda1) [07:23] Vani: is this when booting off the disk? [07:23] Vani: or when booting the computer by itself? [07:23] computer by itself [07:23] prophit: you need to configure vm-networking as "bridged" to access it === VGoff is now known as VGoff_afk [07:24] darwinsurvivor: any idea how to recover files.. if the disk isnt recognized ?? [07:24] Vani: ok, so are you trying to install right now, or have you done that already? [07:24] prophit: you try "localhost:4822" from host-system? [07:24] already did that [07:24] trippy3199us: does it show up in /dev? [07:25] llutz_: it's already bridged. guacd doesn't serve the page even when I go to localhost:4822 on the VM [07:25] Vani: so you've installed the desktop version and are being given 2 options when rebooting them machine with the cd/usb removed? [07:25] prophit: ah ok, then check logs why it doesn't run. [07:25] prophit: when in bridged mode, the VM will get it's own ip from your router. you need to find out what that IP is and connect to THAT [07:26] darwinsurvivor: nope... its compleatly unrecognized.. on every os i have tried... i think its because the part thats corrupted is the part that contains all the info about the drive itself.. === VGoff_afk is now known as VGoff [07:26] prophit: on the vm "sudo lsof -i :4822" does it list your service? [07:26] trippy3199us: how do you know it has a corrupted sector? [07:26] well... more like 7 options, but 2 of those are recovery modes, and 2 are memory tests and 1 says prvious linux versions and yeah i removed the cd. but I installed it along side of the server.... i probably should have installed it over it. [07:27] Vani: is the "pae" one at the top of the list? [07:27] yes [07:27] if i use a terminal to try to load it.. it gives me an error claiming a bad sector.. [07:27] llutz_: yes - guacd [07:27] Ubuntu 12.04 applications menu showing some other language. How do i reset it to default ? [07:27] Vani: basic rule of thumb when booting ubuntu is to pick the top one. if that doens't work, try the next one and so on :) [07:28] ok. [07:28] trippy3199us: how did you try to load it if it's not in /dev/? [07:28] prophit: so its running but not responding. as i said, check logs [07:28] !details | trippy3199us [07:28] trippy3199us: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."

How do i reset it to default ? [07:29] trippy3199us: ok, what happens if you run "sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt"? (replace X and Y appropriately) [07:30] karthick87: has it always been that language since you installed, or did it recently change? [07:30] llutz_: I'm not seeing a "messages" file in /var/logs nor any other file that looks like it came from guacd [07:30] hello [07:31] myip? [07:31] hey, do you know the error, "kernel panic"? [07:32] prophit: grep -ri guacd /var/log or check guacd-config where it logs to [07:32] thanks for the help, i'm gonna get off now, but if i need anymore help i'll be sure to come back [07:33] what should i replace XandY with i found usb-PNY_Tech_USB_2.0_FD_058110501413481800281-0:0 [07:33] in dev === ubuntu is now known as Guest68729 [07:34] DarwinSurvivor: it is changed recently.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [07:43] DarwinSurvivor: I do know how to use, well at least the basic stuff for maintaining a repo... Just wondering if there's a helper script for something like this or not... [07:43] alFReD-NSH: people that backup their config files onto github probably just create a git repo in their home folder and add the appropriate files to it. [07:44] alFReD-NSH: for a reinstall, i'd just copy them to an external drive, much simpler that way [07:44] alFReD-NSH: also, you may not want some of those files on a public website, some may contain passwords or personal information (ex: .mozilla holds all online passwords and browser history) [07:45] DarwinSurvivor: Well I've been syncing them to my desktop mac... with the simple copy paste... I recall it tiring. As a programmer I feel bad about that. Also don't worry about that, I know which ones contain passwords. I don't show them to public... [07:46] does Unity uses compiz ? [07:46] by deafual [07:46] W8! does mozilla hold all the passwords in flat files? [07:46] DarwinSurvivor: No i havenot installed any language packs [07:46] llutz, i use ssh for ocnnect via FTP? [07:47] Jak2000: no, ssh and ftp are 100% different protocols, NOT compatible [07:47] Jak2000: no, an ftp-client if your really need to use ftp. think about using sftp, based on ssh [07:47] alFReD-NSH: they aren't a flat-file, but they ARE easily extracted (you really only need to load the profile and firefox does the extraction for you) [07:48] is Compiz enabled by default on Ubuntu ? [07:48] is Compiz enabled by default in Ubuntu 11.xx series? [07:48] ServerCrash: should be I assume [07:49] how to restart sshd service?

[07:49] Jak2000: you can't [07:50] karthick87: sorry, I don't know enough about languages to help you at this point (thought it might be something simple). perhaps someone else can help you [07:50] karthick87: also, take a look at http://help.ubuntu.com for some possible answers [07:50] Jak2000: what is it you are *actually* trying to do? [07:50] Jak2000: you want to use the web to read about different services and their basics before you run any "servers" [07:51] Jak2000: are you tring to make files available to others, transfer files across computers, download software off a website, backup your computer, etc? [07:52] yes [07:52] Jak2000: *which* one? [07:54] ubuntu 12.04 is good now [07:54] Anyone got any irc client better than pidgin? [07:54] xchat [07:55] alFReD-NSH: xchat [07:55] ServerCrash, unity runs in compiz. [07:56] most irc cluents are better then pidgin [07:56] alFReD-NSH, I have never used pidgin, but xchat seems to work for me. [07:57] there is iirc as well a cli [07:57] wilee-nilee: there are quite a few cli irc clients (I use irssi myself) [07:57] saw the screenshots of xchat, not really shiney...

[08:05] trippy3199us: ok, so use "sudo mount /dev/whatever-your-device-shows-up-as /mnt" and tell me if you get an error [08:07] llutz done sith Filezilla i can connect with SFTP (ssh deamon) thx [08:07] DarwinSurvivor: I used the instruction manual on their website. And the program that they suggested. I'm trying to find the link now. [08:07] Jak2000: what was it you were trying to do? [08:07] i wonder if anyone could help me, i'm looking to debrand unity - i know how to alter the launcher but the top panel is still giving me problems [08:07] mount a FTP server [08:07] done [08:07] bhull05: please do post it, it will help a lot [08:08] every time i'm at the desktop it shows "ubuntu desktop" in the top panel [08:08] how can i get rid of that! [08:08] Jak2000: if you used ssh and sftp, you did NOT use ftp, they are not the same [08:08] i want it to read something else, like just "desktop" [08:08] DarwinSurvivor: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/...ick-on-windows [08:08] bhull05: your link got "shortended", can you try that again? === james is now known as njan [08:09] bhull05: there are a few tutorials that match that pattern and some of them are for older versions of ubuntu [08:09] DarwinSurvivor: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows [08:10] bhull05: ok, and what is listed on the first menu you see when booting off of it? (what is the first question) [08:11] DarwinSurvivor: It's called 'Installer boot menu === allenap` is now known as allenap [08:12] bhull05: and what are all hte options? [08:12] DarwinSurvivior: The options are "Run ubuntu from this usb" || "Install ubuntu on a hard disl" || "Test Memory" || "Boot from first hard disk" || "Advanced Options" || "Help" === trippy3199us is now known as trippy3199usmoun [08:12] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [08:12] DarwinSurvivor: I have selected "Install ubuntu on a hard disl" [08:13] you might need a /sbin/mount. helper program [08:13] DarwinSurvivor: And after about 6 seconds of scrolling texts, those errors just repeat over and over. [08:13] try dmesg | tail or so [08:14] bhull05: use "run ubuntu from this usb" [08:14] trippy3199usmoun: is that the output you got? [08:14] ill paste exactly .. one sec [08:16] bhull05: use "run", then once you get to the desktop, use the "install" icon on the desktop to do the installation [08:16] DarwinSurvivor: Now it ends in a bug I've encountered before. I made a post on the ubuntu forum which describes the stopping point in detail: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1986548 [08:16] http://pastebin.com/X0crkahV [08:17] I've got an annoying problem that I'm not sure anyone can help me with. About once a week, my computer freezes (but the mouse still moves). My comp is on for 9 hrs a day. There is nothing in syslog or any other log that I've looked at. No errors. Just completey unresponsive. [08:17] bhull05: did you get that same error when trying "run" instead of "install"? [08:17] MacroMan: does it get hot, as in a fan is not working anymore? [08:17] There also doesn't seem to be a pattern. I'm usually using a different program when it happens. [08:17] MacroMan: could be cpu fan, psu fan, gfx fan, case fan... [08:17] trippy3199usmoun: do you remember what it was formatted to? (fat32, ntfs, ext3, etc?) [08:18] tarzeau_: No, it's a relatively new machine, only 3 months old [08:18] MacroMan: new or not, i've seen broken fans in newer machines [08:18] Wouldn't that trip a temp alarm? [08:18] MacroMan: or not properly connected cables [08:18] MacroMan: usually but not always [08:18] Could be. So your thinking more of a hardware problem? [08:18] DarwinSurvivor: Now, the 'Ubuntu' screen came up with the 4 dots underneath, but then the screen froze and it's a giant screen of black and white random bars.... [08:18] its an xbox formatted disk.. so probably fat32 [08:18] MacroMan: i would consider it, yes === Kaco_ is now known as Kaco [08:19] bhull05: did you try the nomodeset idea that the responder mentioned in the forum post you linked to? [08:20] tarzeau_: Thanks, I'll open my case and see what's going on. Once thing that still bothers me though. Why does the mouse continue to move? It's not like the whole thing is frozen, just my desktop enviroment [08:20] trippy3199usmoun: try "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/.... /mnt/" [08:20] MacroMan: graphics card driver problem maybe? nvidia or not nvidia card/drier? [08:21] MacroMan: i guess that's 1204? [08:22] DarwinSurvivor: I press 'F6' but it doesnt do anything, the screen just flickers. But it opens no promps or ability to 'tick nomodeset' [08:22] darwinSurvivor: mount: special device /dev/disk/by-id/usb-PNY_Tech_USB_2.0_FD_05801105010413481800281-0:0 does not exist [08:22] bhull05: you need to hit it early in the boot, just keep hitting it over and over again [08:23] trippy3199usmoun: check the /dev/ directory and make sure it is still there [08:23] I've previously been using ubuntu-desktop, and my pcmia wifi and wired cards were working fine. I recently reinstalled w/ ubuntu-server (11.04, now upgraded to 12.04) and my pcmia cards are not working. When i was using the gui system, I was able to install restricted drivers. Is there any way to install those restricted drivers from command line? I'm currently able to get internet by booting off a livecd and binding and chrooting to my hard drive. [08:23] i was thinking shift pressed brings boot menu in grub2 [08:24] DarwinSurvivor: still there.. everyother file has 0 bytes.. but that file has 9 bytes.. for some reason [08:24] openvoid_: good point [08:24] bhull05: hold shift while booting until you see a menu asking which kernel to boot, then hit F6 [08:25] Rav3n, apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras or something same [08:25] trippy3199usmoun: the bite size means very little, they are block devices [08:25] DarwinSurvivor: I got the purple screen with the white 'Ubuntu' letters now and the 5 dots underneath are solid orange for about 2 minutes, nothing moving. Then my screen turns into a serious of black and white bars and squares that appear to be random. [08:25] trippy3199usmoun: to rule out a typo, when you get to "/dev/usb-" hit tab and it should auto-complete the name [08:27] bhull05: the menu will be before the purple screen. if you see the purple screen, you missed the menu [08:28] DarwinSurvivor: I've tried holding Shift through the whole boot process but no such menu is generated. [08:29] darwinSurvivor: same result [08:31] trippy3199usmoun: ok, try "sudo dd if=/dev/the-device-here of=/home/your-username-here/flashbackup.img" [08:31] trippy3199usmoun: that should make a backup of the device, you may be able to mount *that* instead [08:33] how is it possible that im still logged into my server via terminal even after i execute sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop [08:33] tarzeau_: Yes, nVidia. I had trouble with the offical driver so I never installed it. Could that be it? [08:34] i wonder if anyone could help me, i'm looking to debrand unity - i know how to alter the launcher but the top panel is still giving me problems [08:34] every time i'm at the desktop it shows "ubuntu desktop" in the top panel [08:34] i want it to read something else, like just "desktop" [08:34] amh345: yes, i've seen that happen before. don't rely on it though! [08:34] darwinSurvivor: no such file or directory? [08:34] tarzeau_: Just had the cover off. All fans seem to be running fine and it doesn't seem too hot in there. === pesari_ is now known as pesari [08:34] trippy3199usmoun: weird [08:34] DarwinSurvivor: what do you mean dont rely on it? [08:34] hah [08:35] darwinSurvivor: ill double check everything real quick.... [08:35] amh345: it just stops the server listening and accepting new connections [08:35] trippy3199usmoun: and you're sure this is a standard off-the-shelf usb flash drive? [08:35] Hi [08:35] how DO I ZOOM IN WITH BLUEFISH [08:35] darwinSurvivor: does it matter that its in /dev/disk/by-id/ [08:35] trippy3199usmoun: not some weird memory card that just happens to have a usb port? [08:35] >:( [08:35] !caps [08:35] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [08:35] its a pny 8gb.. pretty common.. [08:35] ferni: oh. youre right. heh [08:36] oke, how do i zoom in with bluefish [08:36] its about a year old.. and its really common.. its still on shelves... [08:36] ????????????? [08:36] trippy3199usmoun: ok, just wanted to make sure it wasn't some proprietary xbox thing [08:36] !patience | CptK00k [08:36] CptK00k: 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/ [08:37] im trying to set my server to timeout the ssh session if it's idle for x amount of seconds. i've put this in sshd_config ClientAliveInterval 30 but it doesnt seem to do anything at all. any ideas? [08:37] DarwinSurvivor: I keep getting the same issue of the frozen black and white screen. I can't figure out how to get the 'nomodeset' option up though. If you would like to send me a private message and wait until you have others' issues solved, that's fine with me. [08:37] So nobody knows how to zoom in with a web editor. [08:37] wow [08:37] DarwinSurvivor: nope, tho they would do that to us wouldnt they.. i swear they put timers in everything so you have to replace them.. lol.. [08:38] how tragic [08:38] CptK00k, try with the built in accessability settings if there is no feature within the program [08:38] bhull05: I've never had to use nomodeset myself, I just know that it has helped quite a few users run 12.04. [08:39] :P [08:39] you are kidding me right [08:39] bhull05: I probably won't be able to help you more than that forum post did, perhaps somebody else can assist you further [08:39] ? [08:39] Darwin [08:39] CptK00k: you are not the only person in here getting help. please be patient and allow others that were here before you to be helped [08:39] DarwinSurvivor: i think it might just write to it to much... every level of everygame.. so every ten minutes its rewriting over what was just saved.. the flash memory isnt like the old school memory in NINTENDO games.. it just isnt built right anymore... [08:39] Thanks anyway, take it easy. [08:39] Hi, does anyone know the AMI id for an Ubuntu 12.4 LTS image on Amazon Web Services? [08:40] CptK00k: in the mean time, try holding Ctrl and using the scrollwheel on your mouse, that's a fairly universal scroll shortcut for browsers [08:40] anyone? ssh ClientAliveInterval does nothing. how to make it timeout? [08:40] or look under the view menu [08:40] i dont need help i need some information about how to zoom in with this shit, yes i tried holding down ctrl mousewheel but it zooooomsss out nomatter what direction [08:41] have you tried ctrl and + [08:41] YES i did [08:41] CptK00k: Please be careful with the language. Remember to keep it family friendly. [08:41] CptK00k: try scrolling the other way...? [08:41] are you using the latest version of bluefish on the ubuntu repositories? [08:42] doesnt work [08:42] :RAGE: [08:42] are you using the latest version of bluefish on the ubuntu repositories? [08:42] yes [08:43] it might be worth looking for a ppa with the developers latest version, it might be a bug that has already been fixed but hasnt been updated to ubuntu's repositories, are you using 12.04? [08:43] argh yes [08:44] check what version you are using, then go to google and type "bluefish ppa" [08:44] !ppa | sam [08:44] sam: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [08:44] DarwinSurvivor: any other suggestions.. or am i basically out of options besides the trash can.. just hate to lose over a year of hard work on my favorite games.. [08:44] if the version there is lower than your current version, then update [08:44] trippy3199usmoun: does the xbox not keep a local copy of the game saves...? [08:44] there is no PPA for bluefish [08:44] if the version is the same, then file a bug report [08:44] ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR [08:45] there is a ppa for bluefish because my colleague is using it to get the latest version even though he is using oneric [08:45] they need to make a cloud for xbox saves.. you have to pay for online play anyway.. whats it gunna hurt to include a cloud for save games.. damn microsoft.. exactly why i use ubuntu in the first place.. [08:45] well enlighten me [08:46] DarwinSurvivor: i guess it could.. but then you can only play on one xbox period.. or everything you do gets lost.. [08:46] samuel: PPA's are not officially supported, they are not supposed to be recommended in the #ubuntu channel [08:47] trippy3199usmoun: if there is a local save copy, you could put a new usb drive in and copy to that. [08:47] trippy3199usmoun: I don't have an xbox, but on my PS3 all games are saved locally, then you can manually copy them on/off a usb stick for portability [08:47] well in that case i recommend going here https://launchpad.net/bluefish and filing a bug [08:47] there isnt... its all on the usb unfortunatly.. and ps3 is way better... this would be one example of many.. [08:48] going direct to the devs of the project will get you a better answer [08:48] so you are basicly saying to me that i need to download from a grimey ass PPA instead of the ubuntu directories, in which it clearly is added but doesnt seem to have the most simplistic function of zooming in on some code? [08:48] i have both.. but i have never ever had an issue with my ps3.. and xbox i have had tons of problems with.. [08:48] FML [08:48] i didnt write it, no point raging at me [08:48] i'm not a ubuntu developer [08:48] CptK00k: samuel is right. bluefish is a fairly obscure browser on ubuntu, so you probably wont' find many people in here that have used it [08:49] i'm trying very hard not to advise you to get a refund [08:49] well except.. my ps3 will not use vga anymore.. after a while it starts to bleed all the colors everywhere.. so i have to use hdmi now.. [08:49] CptK00k: their developers should be able to assist you though [08:49] Care to give me a alternative? [08:49] trippy3199usmoun: ps3's don't have vga as far as I know (rca, hdmi and that 4-plug one dvd players use) [08:50] i mean rca.. im sorry [08:50] CptK00k: there are TONS of browsers. firefox is the default. what features are you looking for (other than zooming) [08:50] red white yellow.. [08:50] trippy3199usmoun: yep, rca [08:50] ITS NOT A BROWSER [08:51] ITS A WEB EDITOR [08:51] trippy3199usmoun: there may be more you can do to recover the drive, but at this point I can't think of anything [08:51] CptK00k: OH, that bluefish! [08:51] CptK00k, stop shouting! [08:51] Shouting? its a chatroom dude , give me a break [08:51] CptK00k: hmm, for zooming in there, you'll probably have to go through the menus or something [08:51] !caps | CptK00k [08:51] CptK00k: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. === dj is now known as cirustus [08:52] Uppercasing is not shouting alright [08:52] shouting involves sound waves going through your eardrums [08:52] ok guys im new to ubuntu but have a few questions to ask [08:52] Calm down CptK00k. You understand what they're saying, don't be so pedantic. Remember, people are here to *help* you. [08:52] cirustus: Sure, ask away! [08:53] i have ubuntu 12.04 [08:53] now im trying to connect to my windows share but cant access them [08:53] DarwinSurvivor: thank you tho.. you gave me a few ideas ill tinker around with.. i didnt realize it was showing up in my /dev/ so ill see if i can work with that and the bad sector i error i found.. maybe ill be able to get it eventually.. wish my usb had a light on it so i could tell if im even really reading it.. my system knows its pny and its usb 2.0.. so there is hope.. [08:53] yeah but iam getting pretty p*ssed off, ive spent my whole day fixing stuff instead of making webpages thus money [08:53] CptK00k: Yep, understandble. [08:53] trippy3199usmoun: one last thing [08:54] i can understand that for amateurs it sounds fun to tinker with this and that [08:54] now ive read the forums and they are saying samba had a re-write done [08:54] but time == money [08:54] trippy3199usmoun: most usb drives use a separate controller chip to identify it as a usb drive. you can completely mangle the fs itself (write random garbage to every sector) and you should still be able to access it for reformatting. [08:54] hi, is there some project in ubuntu to install printer on multiple computers at once? i know about cluster ssh and similar stuff, but gui would be prefered.... [08:54] i have a older version of it but its a tar.gz file how do i install it [08:54] CptKook, then i suggest you get over to the launchpad page that i linked you to, submit a bug, then go back to the software center and look for annother ide to make your website [08:55] trippy3199usmoun: this makes me think it may not be a bad-sector problem but possibly a hardware problem (loose plug, over-voltaged, etc) [08:55] CptK00k: Well, now you're getting offtopic. Come to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to chat. [08:55] What's ubuntu's dev channel? [08:55] onosendi: #ubuntu-devel [08:55] Offtopic? what is there offtopic about? iam giving you reasons for my FUCKING RAGE SO YOU DONT GET PISSED OFF AND FKNG KICK ME [08:55] thanks [08:55] or use ubuntu's accessability feature to zoom in and get on with it instead of wasting precious time complaining to people that 1 you are not paying and 2 have nothing to do with the software you are asking about [08:56] CptK00k: Well, now you're swearing. I asked you to keep it family-friendly. [08:56] cirustus: To mount a Windows share, use: mount -t cifs //your_server/your_share some_directory -o user=your_share_username,password=your_share_password [08:56] just saying [08:56] wife likes that compiz zoom feature now that i showed it to her.. must be her fav feature [08:56] I am not always a douche but today i am [08:56] my share dont have usernames or passwords attached to them [08:57] DarwinSurviver: is it worth sending in for $150 is what it may come down to.. they have the equipment to test that.. there otta be some software i can find thru research that will allow my computer to do some of those tests for me tho.. [08:57] cirustus: Then make it simplier: mount -t cifs //your_server/your_share some_directory [08:57] and thats using terminal correct [08:57] cirustus: Yeah, I have no idea how to do it in the GUI (haven't used Unity) [08:57] trippy3199usmoun: that $150 (microsoft support?) will be for fixing the xbox (which is probably 100% functional), they probably won't even try to recover the usb drvie [08:58] ok does that use samba or the smb? [08:58] cirustus: Err, "samba" and "smb" are the same thing ("smb" is short for "samba") [08:58] cirustus: smb *is* samba (short name for it) [08:58] ok lol [08:58] the nautilus file manager has samba share support . smb://serverip_or_name/sharename cirustus === epzil0n is now known as Guest70425 [08:59] CptK00k: As I said, I understand the frustration. But please, if you want help, be patient and polite. People will be *far* more likely to help you. [08:59] trippy3199usmoun: you might have more luck on some xbox channels or forums, there are probably others that have had this happen that might have suggestions for getting your games back [08:59] DarwinSurviver: i found a USB Flash Drive recovery company that charges 146 for recovery of usb drives.. but im not really wanting to spend 146 for crap i already spend hundreds on in the first place.. [08:59] the only other thing is all my shares are on a nas thats given an ip by dhcp so if a reboot the modem i get new ip address will i have to re mount it everytime i reboot? [08:59] DarwinSurvivor: thats accually great advice.. your probably right [09:00] cirustus: set up a static ip on the nas, or get the router to use static-dhcp. NEVER try to set up a nas on dhcp alone! [09:00] Hi! Is there a script that is run on boot so that I can make sure certain commands, I wish, are executed during the boot ? We have something like /etc/rc.local on Archlinux [09:00] cirustus, can't you give it a dedicated IP? [09:00] cirustus: samba is supposed to handele the names of the server notip. but it can have issues. I set my router to give static ip addresses to my servers - makes it easier [09:00] trippy3199usmoun, try photorec for recovering data from damaged flash drives [09:00] hi, is there some project in ubuntu to install printer on multiple computers at once? i know about cluster ssh and similar stuff, but gui would be prefered.... [09:00] I'm using mate with marco as my WM. How would I go about getting the geometry of a window when it is closed? It's x, y, w, h, etc? [09:00] lpapp: have you looked for /etc/rc.local on Ubuntu? [09:00] lpapp: /etc/rc.local :P It's the good old init thing, it exists almost everywhere [09:00] its great for ripping files off any file system and copying them to a target directory [09:00] samuel: i tried.. but its not recognizing my drive [09:00] nvucinic: its possible the cups web interface/tools may do it. but ive never noticed such a tool/gui [09:00] well my problem is that its not my nas but my house mates and he wont give it a static ip [09:01] theadmin: heh true [09:01] I am dumb and blind ;) [09:01] cirustus: then I offically recommend that you smack him upside the head and tell him to :D [09:01] dr_willis: is there something like "local synaptic" where you can install apps on multiple servers ? [09:01] cant you do it by the host name? cirustus [09:01] good to know it is not something distribution specific [09:01] findsmb and smbtree can scan thenetwork and show the name/ips of servers. or nmap the network [09:02] samuel: it just shows my main hard drive.. and any other usb drives i plug in.. but not the one thats being a terd.. i noticed if i plug it into windows 7.. it just loads unloads loads unloads over and over again... [09:02] i do that anyway be he refuses and if i do it for him i wont be allowed to use the net anymore ect... [09:02] nvucinic: i set up a apt-cach-ng server, then just use ssh/scripts [09:02] i can try [09:02] dr_willis: yeah, i have similar idea :D [09:02] lpapp: /etc/rc.conf doesn't exist in Ubuntu though :P [09:02] trippy3199usmoun: just had a last thought. try using some rubbing alcohol (99+%) and a q-tip to clean the contacts! [09:02] Hello. xrandr (under Ubuntu 12.04) does not see my external monitor (plugged to VGA) while nvidia-settings sees it. How can I solve that? [09:03] theadmin: /etc/rc.local though? [09:03] xorg.conf [09:03] theadmin: /etc/rc.local not rc.conf [09:03] @vivien_m [09:03] CptK00k: Thank you :) [09:03] CptK00k: I would not like to write the configuration for that particular monitor in xorg.conf [09:03] Then Good Luck! [09:03] Have a nice day [09:04] DarwinSurvivor, chu: Please read the conversation more carefully -- He's migrating (or something) from Arch and looks for an alternative to /etc/rc.local (which is still there on Ubuntu, as I did say), however one must be aware that the almighty rc.conf is not there on Ubuntu. [09:04] no it wont let me use the hostname :( [09:04] rc.totallyrocksthehouse ;) [09:05] cirustus: nmap scan the network, or use findsmb or smbtree to get its ip# [09:05] CptK00k: In a previous installation, I had xrandr detecting everything without any action. Is it possible to write a generic xorg.conf so that xrandr detects any external monitor? [09:05] DarwinSurvivor: will do that right now.. another good idea... thank you.. [09:05] Do you get a whitescreen or just nothing [09:05] blackness..... [09:05] CptK00k: Nothing. xrandr does not list the external monitor at all. [09:05] theadmin: rc.local does not quite work [09:05] theadmin: I know, i actually use arch myself. [09:06] there is some ubuntu service i recall thats supposed to help in the finding/maping of servers to their ip for samba [09:06] theadmin: perhaps because the command is relevant to X ? [09:06] CptK00k: I tried in arandr which sees nothing either [09:06] theadmin: xsetwacom set 12 area 323 242 3815 3663 -> it is for calibrating the touchscreen of the toughbook. [09:06] lpapp: rc.local cant do X stuff. ;) [09:06] lpapp: Uh, yeah, if you want to use X stuff you need to run it from inside X -- try the "Startup Applications" thing [09:06] !init | lpapp is this what you are looking for? [09:06] lpapp is this what you are looking for?: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [09:06] dr_willis: exactly. This is why I asked now I remember [09:06] I tried back then and did not work [09:06] I just forgot that situation unfortunately. [09:06] Does Xrander load? [09:07] Anyone got any tool similar to unetbootin for ubuntu? [09:07] so prolly an .xsessionrc might work way better [09:07] alFReD-NSH: unetbootin has a Linux version and is actually in the Ubuntu repos. [09:07] Wanna put the ubuntu 12.04 iso on usb drive [09:07] theadmin: start application sounds scary [09:07] .xsession would be a totsally custome X setup - it does not for example run your gnoime desktop AnD the .xsession [09:08] CptK00k: I do not know what Xrander is. A kernel module? It is not in my kernel module list, apparently. [09:08] lpapp: Meh I dunno then. ~/.profile ? [09:08] xinitrc / xsession ? [09:08] dr_willis: so what is the X way DE agnostically ? [09:08] theadmin: I tried it and my usb drive is already connected, but it doesn't show it there [09:08] lpapp: put a script in the .config/autostart dir [09:08] .xinitrc I used earlier [09:08] i just installed ubuntu(12.04) for the first time. how do i tell it to start up in console mode instead of presenting the X login screen? [09:08] dr_willis: that looks DE specific [09:08] alFReD-NSH: Meh fudge it -- sudo dd if=/path/to/ubuntu-12.04.iso of=/dev/sdz [09:08] lpapp: theres tye system wide x configs/scripts that run befor the DE begins for all users [09:08] I need an X driven solution so that it is not gonna break with any DEs [09:08] How did you install Nvidia drivers? [09:08] !text | lizzin [09:08] lizzin: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [09:09] ok ok [09:09] through software manager? [09:09] lpapp: most all the des use the .config/autorun what de are you using [09:09] smbtree shows me the name but when i try to use the name to connect it says it cant [09:09] vivian? [09:09] dr_willis: is it standardized ? [09:09] CptK00k: aptitude install nvidia-current [09:09] cirustus: so use its ip. [09:09] yh dont do that [09:09] i know the ip address for it and thats the only way i can connect to it [09:09] theadmin: /dev/sdz is the usb drive path? [09:09] you need to reinstall [09:09] lpapp: for kde/gnome/lubuntu/xfce/ it is [09:09] go download the drivers from nvidia [09:09] dr_willis: IOW, what is wrong with ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession ? [09:09] dr_willis: those look more standard options. [09:09] alFReD-NSH: Yesh, but note it's "sdz", not "sdz1" or some such (drive, not partition!) [09:09] save them to Downloads [09:09] CptK00k: You suggest to install from NVidia sources? [09:09] rename them to something like nvidia.run [09:09] lpapp: those get ran INSTEAD of the session you select at the login screen , [09:10] do CTRL+ALT F2 [09:10] theadmin: thanks [09:10] Cd to Downloads [09:10] theadmin: actually on mine is /dev/sdb1 [09:10] lpapp: the login screen most likely has a 'custom' iutem that runs those.. [09:10] but thats going to the home folder and typing in the address bar [09:10] CptK00k: The Ubuntu nvidia package is not reliable? [09:10] dr_willis: pardon ? [09:10] Sh nvidia.run [09:10] ohyeah do sudo service lightdm stop first [09:10] dr_willis: aren't they run for any login session ? [09:10] or even without that ? [09:10] lpapp: you go to login/lightdm, select unity. .xsession is ignored.. [09:10] CptK00k, you forgot to tell hom to stop X [09:10] "sudo service ligthdm stop" [09:10] alFReD-NSH: Make that /dev/sdb then [09:10] theadmin: where is the default location for the X11 config file? i cant seem to find it in /etc/X11 [09:10] lpapp: NO they are not. :) [09:10] nm [09:10] dr_willis: problem is that with autostart, it is not gonna work for the logic screen [09:10] dr_willis: cannot use touch on the login screen etc either [09:11] lizzin: It's /etc/X11/xorg.conf (but it does not even exist by default, X autoconfigures most of the time. If you need, you can create one with the sections you need) [09:11] CptK00k: I have no lightdm, BTW. I installed from mini.iso [09:11] lpapp: what logic screen? if you want it to run for all users every time on all possible X setups. you use the /etc/X init scripts [09:11] You cant install nvidia with X server enabled [09:11] lpapp: sounds like you have to go the /etc/ way. [09:11] CptK00k: Ok. [09:11] dr_willis: ok, let me reword: I would like to get touch work as soon as X up [09:11] you have ubuntu right? 12.04 LTS? [09:11] dr_willis: X is definitely up for the login screen already. [09:11] then you probably have lightdm [09:11] CptK00k: But why is the Ubuntu package not recommended? [09:12] lpapp: ccheck the /etc/ X init stuff then, ;) only way i know of [09:12] CptK00k: Yes, 12.04 LTS [09:12] dr_willis: which file in there ? [09:12] Hello [09:12] The installation could have failed because of an error in the corresponding software package or it was cancelled in an unfriendly way. You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software. [09:12] lpapp: no idea. id have to explore it. I bet askubuntu.com has some guides on it [09:12] I get this error, what do I do? [09:12] perhaps xorg.conf I guess [09:12] Ubuntu 10.04 [09:12] lpapp: no.. not xorg.conf that does not run commands [09:12] ASKidwai, sudo apt-get -f install [09:12] but is really no script running for the X up ? :o [09:12] Follow this guide: http://www.moonlitdog.com/nvidia_ubuntu [09:12] is there a way i can have the ip address auto mounted when i loggin [09:13] CptK00k: No, I started from a bare install and them installed the needed packages. I have no display manager. [09:13] Vivian [09:13] dr_willis: sure... but that can be configured how to launch X ... [09:13] lpapp: theres several X init scripts in /etc/ somewhere. [09:13] dr_willis: let me know one [09:13] lpapp: xorg.conf defines the server layout and other settings. Its possible theres some settings in there that may make it so you dont need those commands [09:13] dr_willis: yes, there is [09:13] lpapp: im not on a ubuntu box. im on my phone at work. so i cant. [09:13] I have checked out the vendor's page [09:13] but a command run would mean less maintenance [09:14] even if not the most precise solution for sure. [09:14] CptK00k: Ok, but why installing the nvidia drivers again? Is the Ubuntu package known to be buggy? [09:14] bobweaver: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. <--- Says the terminal [09:14] just do it! [09:14] like nike would say [09:15] how retro 1970's [09:15] CptK00k: You must have a reason ;-) [09:15] No time to explain, Get on that horse, The world is at risk [09:15] lpapp: itss possible theres some lightdm configs that could run the command also. ive not explored lightdm much [09:16] lpapp: but the console and startx would bypass that. [09:16] I had exactly one fuck to give, it was my gift to you, Dont you want my single fuck? [09:16] O.o [09:16] dr_willis: let us use .xsession then [09:16] :Insufficient Fucks: [09:16] 404 [09:16] bobweaver: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [09:17] lpapp: a .xsession would not work for the lightdm login screen. only after it [09:17] !language | CptK00k [09:17] CptK00k: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [09:17] dr_willis: yes, of course [09:18] but I need to get something up asap [09:18] Uh, bobweaver, thanks a lot [09:18] CptK00k: Usually, it is better to install packages, that are supported and updated. Installing from nvidia script must be justified somehow. The Ubuntu package is known to be bad?! [09:18] ASKidwai, not sure to tell you the truth look up that command I would say ? [09:18] * ASKidwai was a bit stupid lol [09:18] Yeah, it worked [09:18] Why y ask so many questions? [09:18] lpapp: look in /etc/X11 NOTICE A xsessions.d full of scripts? ;) [09:18] Great to here ASKidwai [09:18] :D [09:18] I have installed llvm package using apt [09:18] it pays to expore /etc/ [09:18] CptK00k: Because I want to understand! possibly to advice people later. [09:18] The package has suffixed binaries like llvm-3.0 [09:19] theadmin: i would like to try xmonad. happen to know of any docs i can read to familiarize myself w/ 12.04 + lightdm and unity? i really am not sure how all of these are connected. i have xmonad installed and the various install docs say to add 'exec xmonad' to ~/.xinitrc. but that alone is not doing it. what should i look into? [09:19] I want to add such suffix in manual build [09:19] lizzin: Do you boot to a login screen? [09:19] dr_willis: I think that is a bad way of doing this [09:19] lizzin: .xinitrc is onky ran when you do "xinit" manually honestly, if you use a desktop environment you should deal with this desktop environment's startup respectively. [09:20] Its because the nvidia drivers are proprietary software and nvidia does things right, [09:20] dr_willis: somewhat annoying the vendor's configuration util does not have a "store permanently" option. [09:20] lpapp: i think thats the 'designed' way for doing X setup stuff [09:20] or the xorg.conf file [09:20] dr_willis: not according to the vendor's wiki to say the least. [09:20] lizzin: There are a few things we can do here: a) Add `xmonad' to the login manager; b) disable the login manager. === dj is now known as Guest965 [09:20] CptK00k: nvidia-current-updates will not do the job? [09:20] NO! [09:20] dr_willis: "Of course you can also apply the coordinates statically to the wacom.conf in xorg.conf.d or to the xorg.conf using: " [09:21] CptK00k: Nvidia doesn't do things right? Tell me about it! ATI drivers require Xorg 1.11, jeebus, took me ages to figure out how to downgrade. [09:21] vivien_m, can wew see a paste of lspci -nn | grep VGA [09:21] we * [09:21] dr_willis: tbh, /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d did not work for me [09:21] unsure why [09:21] We agree to disagree, i rather have some sort of OpenGl support then them nouveau boyz [09:21] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [Quadro NVS 4200M] [10de:1056] (rev a1) [09:21] Ghetto Fabolous for sure [09:21] bobweaver: just one line [09:22] vivien_m, there is no driver with xorgers or frsh crack for that ? === bmr_ is now known as bmr [09:22] vivien_m, do you know what that is ? [09:22] I have installed llvm with apt. The llvm binary has suffix like llvm-3.0 I want to add such suffix to the binaries build manually with ./configure && make... Can someone help me? [09:22] dr_willis: do you know what they mean by the "--xconf" switch ? http://www.linuxcertif.com/man/1/xsetwacom/ [09:23] that does not display anything I could just redirect into the xorg.conf...

[09:23] chu: i am currently booting to the std 12.04 login screen [09:24] lizzin: Yeah, so you ignore the .xinitrc (by going to the login manager). [09:25] So, couple of choices: Do you want to *keep* the login manager, and select `xmonad' from there. Or do you want to boot to TTY, login and `xmonad' is launched then? [09:25] vivien_m, can we see a lsomod && apt-cache policy dump nvidia [09:25] I have installed llvm with apt. The llvm binary has suffix like llvm-3.0 I want to add such suffix to the binaries build manually with ./configure && make... Can someone help me? [09:25] hello, i'm trying add ip address to /etc/network/interfaces, but getting Ignoring unknown interface eth0:1=eth0:1 [09:26] vmiheet: Will need to edit the Makefile and change the compilation output (one way I can think of) [09:26] chu: preferably the latter. but it would be nice to know how to bring back the login screen at some point if wanted [09:26] theadmin: is there a simple option ot pass to ../configure? [09:27] lizzin: Alright. Cool beans. Could we continue this in a private query window? (I don't want to clog up the channel) [09:27] vmiheet: "configure" is a manufacturer-supplied script, and I don't use llvm and never built it from source, so I wouldn't know -- try ./configure --help [09:27] bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1006147/ [09:27] bobweaver: I added "apt-cache policy dump nvidia-current" too at the end [09:27] chu: sure [09:28] theadmin: Thank you so much, I'll try [09:28] vivien_m, thanks looking now [09:28] vivien_m: c00k has been kicked, he was giving you bad advice (I just got back from a break) [09:28] vivien_m: please do use the drivers that are available in the repositories [09:29] !nvidia | vivien_m [09:29] vivien_m: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [09:29] DarwinSurvivor: Yes, thank you. That was my thinking! [09:29] hey i just installed ubuntu 11.04 and for some reason my wireless adapter stops transmitting packets, any help? [09:29] !details | donnaR [09:29] donnaR: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [09:29] yeah i just did [09:30] donnaR: "stops transmitting packets" is a VERY specific conclusion, how did you reach it? [09:30] donnaR: details would be: what wireless adapter with what driver, how does that error show itself? [09:30] run tcpdump [09:30] donnaR: it's like saying your car's not sending power through the transmission... [09:30] watchthe packets stop every 2-5mins [09:31] well i did a quick google search and the problem is common, thought i come here poitn me out a guide [09:31] MacroMan: yeah probably, i'd use the official driver [09:31] donnaR: do you have any other wireless devices you can test with your router? === anonymous is now known as Guest20708 [09:34] DarwinSurvivor, well the adapter works fine, i really dont know whats wrong right now i'm using a script that restarts the adapter every 5 min [09:35] This is strange that nvidia-settings see the monitor, but not xrandr. :-() [09:35] xrandr i think cant be used with nvidia drivers, you use the nvidia tools [09:36] but xrandr works with the opensoured nvidia drivers [09:36] dr_willis: Before Ubuntu 12.04, I was using xrandr all time with nvidia proprietary drivers [09:36] at least i think thats what ive read i always use the nvidia tools [09:36] vivien_m: i dont recall xrandr ever working for me with nvidia drivers/twinview [09:36] unless thers some limited set of functions that work [09:37] dr_willis: Maybe I was lucky then. I was working all time perfectly for me. [09:37] dr_willis: dual, rotation, etc. [09:37] i really havent needed xrandr much, the rotation i belive does not work if using twinview [09:37] dr_willis: Can one write a script with nvidia tools? Like with xrandr? [09:37] at least you cant rotate one display, both or nothing [09:38] vivien_m: havent really looked into them in ages. [09:38] dr_willis: just fyi if you are interested, related to my nvidia optimus issue yesterday. nvidia-current is not able to handle optimus-cards so you have to use "bumblebee-nvidia" from a ppa, then everything is working fine [09:38] donnaR: can you try the adapter in another computer to rule out a hardware problem? [09:38] dr_willis: So you have a static configuration? [09:38] the nvidia docs on their drivers at one time was very big. :) i read it once years back [09:38] vivien_m: yep. i rarely move/remove monitors. [09:38] well it works fine under windows [09:38] so it must be a driver problem [09:39] donnaR: ok [09:39] donnaR: what brand + model is it [09:39] so what is the difference between .xinitrc and .xsessionrc ? [09:39] iceroot_: i dont even recall you mentioniong it was using optimus. :) i stay away from optimus.. [09:39] dr_willis: Ok. Static configuration is easy. nvidia tools are good for that. But when you can have different external monitors, this is a different story. [09:40] lpapp: i thought .xinitrc has been superceded by .xsession not seen a .xsessionrc [09:40] dr_willis: maybe i forgot to mention it :) optimus is a nice feature i think :) [09:40] vivien_m: twinview changes require a X restart ive seen to work properly. so that may be an issue. [09:40] i always use twinview, rarely xinerama [09:41] dr_willis: Source global environment variables. This script will source anything in $HOME/.xsessionrc if the file is present. [09:41] iceroot_: the way nvidia has treated the linux world with respect to optimus drivers.. makes me lean towards a laptop with intel video next time [09:42] lpapp: so things like EDITOR=foo go in there? [09:42] DarwinSurvivor, ah to hell with it i'll put another distro [09:42] dr_willis: there is even such an xsession stuff in /etc/X11/Xsession.d: 40x11-common_xsessionrc [09:42] well sourced means it gets ran. :) [09:42] dr_willis: nope [09:42] dr_willis: it is a script [09:42] so anything that a script can handle [09:42] including custom command like in my case [09:42] how do you untar a .tar.gz file from command line? [09:42] dr_willis: the only reason i bought this laptop was diablo 3, so intel VGA is the solution for me :( everything else is of course intel VGA and not nvidia/amd [09:43] is not [09:43] source fooscript -: the commands in the script get ran as if you had typed them in - be sure to not block the exectution of following commands [09:43] donnaR: have you tried the "binary drivers" utility to see if there are any special drivers for it? [09:43] iceroot_: i will pass on D3. ;) [09:43] dr_willis: great misstake :) [09:43] dr_willis: so you learned today what .xsessionrc is ;) [09:44] dr_willis: mooege ftw? [09:44] iceroot_: i will pass on anything by bblizzard for the foreseeable future. due to the companies past practices. [09:44] plus i got skyrim to play [09:44] Tensotu: tar -zxvf file.tar.gz [09:44] thank you vivien_m [09:44] lpapp: no idea of anything i would ever need to put in it. [09:44] dr_willis: i respekt your opinion, i am doing the same for other company/products [09:44] hello,everyone [09:44] dr_willis: any X configuration... [09:45] like touch on essentially any device not calibrated well by default ec... [09:45] etc*, quite wide range tbh ;) [09:45] lpapp: you mean any commands. [09:45] dr_willis: Can you rotate in nvidia-settings? I cannot find the option! [09:45] dr_willis: yes, you can configure X with commands.. [09:45] vivien_m: i think you can. ive rarely needed to. and with twinvieew you can rotate both monitors or none. [09:46] dr_willis: I deactivated the laptop screen, activate the external monitor. But no rotation option, as far as I can see. [09:47] vivien_m: no idea then. i rarely rotate. ;) except to read comic books [09:47] rotateing displays was a big thing for a while it seemed.. but now its not as common. perhaps becuse people are now watching videos instead of reading documents. ;) [09:47] dr_willis: Probably Option "RandRRotation" "true" needed in xorg.conf [09:48] sd [09:48] or playing mame arcade games.. i rotated for that once ages ago [09:48] dr_willis: It happens I am still working. ;-) So I prefer the paper shape over the movie shape! [09:49] Hi. How can I search for all files under a directory which contains some text ? (I can't find how to do this in Nautilus, Ctrl+F only works for file names) [09:49] dr_willis: .xsessionrc worked oob [09:49] vivien_m: next new feature in monitors will be... Square monitors! [09:49] dr_willis: do you know if I can remove the top bar on the default 12.04 Ubuntu installation ? [09:49] djszapi: for the login screen or after login? [09:49] Where is xorg.conf? [09:49] I would like to use my application (customer) only with a launcher icon on the desktop [09:49] djszapi: unity needs that too bar [09:50] use a differnt window manager if you want more customization [09:50] with a siimple panel perhaps [09:50] dr_willis: after login since it was $HOME/.xsessionrc, but that is fine for now until the vendor replies. [09:50] or check out the various koisk type setups [09:50] you mean "kiosk" ? [09:51] well, why would Unity need that bar ? [09:51] if I would not like to see that as a customer ? [09:51] djszapi: now in gdm. there WAS a gdm user that Might have their own .Xsessionrc that would run for gdm when it starts.. but I dont know if lightddm has that. or if the new gdm in 12.04 still has it.. [09:51] I am not saying this should be autohidden, but I would like to be able to turn that off. [09:51] djszapi: the apps menus appear there. [09:52] dr_willis: I know what that is for ;) [09:52] dr_willis: I also know what I would like to have. [09:52] unity may not be the best window manager for your needs. [09:52] What is the simplest and fastest way to get a desktop _only_ where I have only one icon for launching the dedicated application. [09:52] you could run openbox and a single dock like wbar. [09:53] or just set the ap to run and keep reruning when closed [09:53] dr_willis: that would not hide the top bar. [09:53] you dont want to go the 'no window manager route' because that can cause issues with file requestors and other dialogs [09:54] djszapi: you are refering to the unity panel at the top with the cock and stuff? thast would not be there if you are not using unity at all [09:54] dr_willis: :( I did remove the launcher on the left side. Can that cause any troubles ? [09:54] clock ;) [09:54] :p [09:54] djszapi: the left side panel again. is part of unity [09:54] dr_willis: ok... rewording: I made that autohide.... [09:55] use somthing other then unity = no left side or top panels.. [09:55] unless the wm you are using has somthing similer. [09:56] You could use icewm and make its bottom panel hide, and just have a single app in its menus/quick launch bar [09:56] dozens of ways you could do it. [09:56] dr_willis: again, I did already autohide that. [09:56] I presume, that can cause no issues. [09:56] launcher hideing is common ;) [09:57] dr_willis: iirc, it was even the default earlier times... [09:57] i always set it to nevver hide back then [09:57] Hi all. I just "switched user", logged in with the new user, and I have a blank screen. What can I do? apart from don't panicking, which isn't that easy (reboot is not an option). CTRL+ALT+F{1,2,3,...,12} doesn't do anything. [09:57] what language is k3b written in? [09:57] anything wrong with this command? mv -Tf /etc / [09:57] VMERSINTO: C++/Qt/KDE [09:58] no way [09:58] lol [09:58] ggherdov, startx [09:58] :) [09:58] Tensotu: what are you trying to do? [09:58] merge that etc with /etc [09:58] ariana: if I had a shell. but I don't. [09:59] djszapi : its a combination of all three? [09:59] ariana: blank screen. Keyboard is... ignored. [09:59] KDE depends on Qt, Qt is a C++ framework... [09:59] dr_willis: thanks for your help! [10:00] djszapi: simplest way to do your thing may be to use jwm and just define a single launcher app for its panel you can then autohide [10:00] djszapi : I am a comp sci student using kubuntu doing c++ right now that why i was kind of shocked when you said that [10:00] jwm is also the ligtest wm ive seen [10:00] dr_willis: merge that etc with /etc [10:00] VMERSINTO: kde uses QT so whats so shocking [10:01] Tensotu: i alwyas cheat and use 'mc' for tasks like that [10:01] dr_willis : I havent learned about frameworks yet [10:01] mc? [10:01] dr_willis : I am just seeing where c++ shows up [10:01] !info mc [10:01] mc (source: mc): Midnight Commander - a powerful file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:4.8.1-2ubuntu1 (precise), package size 500 kB, installed size 1279 kB [10:01] * dr_willis runs away from C++ [10:01] yea.. no GUI lol [10:01] luckly i dont code. [10:02] i wonder if anyone could help me, i'm looking to debrand unity - i know how to alter the launcher but the top panel is still giving me problems [10:02] every time i'm at the desktop it shows "ubuntu desktop" in the top panel [10:02] i want it to read something else, like just "desktop" [10:02] i thought 'ubuntu' was the pcs name/hostname [10:02] is python more versatile than c++ [10:02] ariana: EDIT: I was wrong. It is just damn slow. It is swapping like crazy (about 1 GB). [10:02] hi [10:03] does someone produced openvpn client keys using https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/openvpn.html doc? [10:03] but python's core is written in..... so that dosent make sence. ;) [10:03] dr_willis : I am just confused [10:04] VMERSINTO: ;) yep. i think so. [10:04] unfortunately not, i looked in /etc/hostname and it just reads the name of the pc [10:04] nothing about ubuntu [10:04] samuel: so whats your pcs hostname? [10:04] samuel: that is what the file is for [10:05] hey guys, i am running a 3.2.0-generic ubuntu and need to compile c++ code for our cluster running a 2.6.18 kernel. any1 know how to cross compile this? [10:05] yes, i'm happy with the hostname, i only want to change what it says from the desktop [10:05] samuel: so you rhostname is not 'ubuntu' ? [10:05] yes, thats right [10:06] in 12.04 it appears that when you have no active windows, the top panel reads "ubuntu desktop" [10:06] i want to change it for the purposes of debranding [10:07] if nautilus is showing icons on the desktop... i wonder hos you have no active windows... ;) may have to test thata [10:07] i have previously been using a different distro which came with debranding but it seems that since 11.10 they havnt bothered, which is a problem for me [10:08] DeBrandBuntu [10:08] yes i mean apart from the icons, i mean when you first log in, before you have loaded anything it just says "ubuntu desktop" that is obviously a problem if you cannot ship ubuntu vanilla for legal reasons [10:08] kouran: could grab the liveCD ISO with that kernel and chroot to it [10:08] samuel: you can ship vanilla ubuntu [10:08] not with proprietary software preinstalled [10:08] samuel: thats not vanilla then is it... [10:09] * dr_willis head spins.. [10:09] How may I paste long numbers as it is in Libreoffice Calc? Like 13379390294829270202 [10:09] we have previously been using linux mint, but the changes in their desktop shell means inconsistancies with the interface - unity offers the best for that [10:09] i have tried debrandbuntu but it does not load the 12.04 iso [10:10] * dr_willis just made up the name DeBrandbuntu ;) never heard of it befor [10:10] besides, this is surely something that is in a config file somewhere, it cant be in compiled code can it?? [10:10] samuel: with unity and gnome - yes it can be compiled in. [10:10] ActionParsnip: my current approach is simmilar, i'm running a vm in background that i use for compilation. just thought maybe there is a better way in ubuntu. in gentoo you could have multiple kernel sources alongside each other and tell gcc against which libraries to compile the code. but since those were tool i don't really know how to do that without them. [10:11] samuel: let me get this straight, you want to remove the branding and make a derivative? [10:11] its more about the desktop shell than it is about the distro, i want to use the unity desktop without falling foul of canonical's no proprietary software rule [10:12] samuel: what's stopping you? [10:12] "ubuntu desktop" [10:13] apart from that there is no other sign of it, i have even removed the circle of friends logo from the launcher [10:13] samuel: so am i right in concluding you want to make a derivative of ubuntu? [10:13] Hello, I have a zip file which is zipped under windows. I try unzip it under ubuntu, I found that the file seperator is wrong, which destroy the file hierarchy. How can I solve that? [10:13] derivative distro's are particularily unhelpul when it comes to advice over the configuration of unity, even if its work that they have previously done [10:13] edwinkcw: what file seperator? [10:14] samuel: so what is the point of debranding unless you want to create a derivative? [10:14] dr_willis: linux uses /, but I view the files in the zip, it uses \ [10:14] How can I search for all files under a directory which contains some text ? (I can't find how to do this in Nautilus, Ctrl+F only works for file names) [10:14] i dont want to change anything about ubuntu except for the branding, but i want to use the unity shell because the interface must be a) free sub menu's and b) work with or without graphics accelleratin and still retain its look [10:14] dr_willis: after unzipping, the file becomes sth like folderA\folderB\a.txt [10:15] edwinkcw: cant say ive ever seen that in a zip. You could always try winzip in wine i guess. [10:15] samuel: because... [10:15] edwinkcw: or make a vfat filesystem in a file mount it via loopback and unzip it in there.. [10:15] edwinkcw: or try one of the fuse-archive filesystems.. [10:15] dr_willis: which is a library called phpexcel, I just download it [10:16] i wonder how wine would do it. [10:16] we dont distribute our software like a linux distro, once the alterations are made that make our software workable on the computer, it is kept as an iso or img and then written directly to the hardware and sold like that [10:16] im not at home so i cant test any of this edwinkcw im just thinking of things to try [10:16] samuel: then that'sfine afaik with the GPL etc [10:16] dr_willis: ok [10:17] when you say derivative, thats like making your own distro, i'm not interested in doing that, i'm only interested in creating a suitable running environment for my software [10:17] samuel: ah, so you are making a derivative then, since you are redistributing it with hardware [10:17] samuel: that is beyond the scope of this channel [10:18] im not sure why removing ubuntu makes it suddenly ok.. [10:18] is there no specific channel just for unity? [10:18] dr_willis: i don't think it does [10:18] auronandace: but im not a laywer.. but i bet the people in #GPL may know [10:18] well it means i can use a derivative distro and apply the same fix to it [10:19] the problem is, linux mint have stopped removing the ubuntu branding from unity [10:19] hi, is there some easy way to do multiseat for 12.04 ? [10:19] samuel: mint doesn't use unity and isn't supported here either [10:19] VX1: from what i hear lightdm supports multiseat. saw some artical onit on the webupd8 blog site a month or 2 ago [10:19] its in their repo's, and its unmodified [10:20] samuel: http://askubuntu.com/questions/93688/can-i-legally-build-and-sell-desktops-with-ubuntu-pre-installed I'd contact the OEM services team and check. You may ust be able to fling the proprietary stuff on and be ok. [10:20] its the same unity that you get in ubuntu [10:20] samuel: then you'd need to ask for help in the mint channel [10:20] i have already tried that [10:21] it seems they dont offer help on all the packages in their own repo's [10:21] VX1: there was some new/cheap multiseat hardware comming out also that aparently works out of the box with redhat, and ubuntu was being worked on next [10:21] well is there an alternative to multiseat ? [10:21] VX1: clarify exactly what you want to do [10:22] well i got a bunch of people coming over tomorrow, so i want to plug a bunch of keyboard/mouse to my comp and have a small lan party [10:22] VX1: no extra monitors? [10:22] ofcourse [10:23] you need some way of driveing those monitors.. [10:23] samuel: userful is ok http://userful.com/products/userful-multiseat-linux [10:24] were those the guys selling the $50 mmultiseat adaptors.. you just add your own keyboard/mouse ;) [10:24] and monitor [10:24] my alt-tab is no longer working . any ideas ? [10:25] i think they even used usb. so you could have a lot on a low end pc [10:25] well i can plug it in directly, gonna get a usb hub though for the k/m so its not too far from the pc [10:25] just want to be able to set it up quickly [10:25] * nathan20081 the first time to use irc [10:27] * nathan20081 is ubuntu popular in your country?

[10:40] serdotlin: Keep compiling until you get it right! ;-) [10:42] branant, is there a way to get my default ubuntu kernel 3.2, i know you have to press shift button. But I want kernel 3.2 as a default, please help me!!! [10:43] branant: is there a way to get my default ubuntu kernel 3.2, i know you have to press shift button. But I want kernel 3.2 as a default, please help me!!! How to remove 3.4 from grub menu entry? [10:43] serdotlin: Try: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:45] serdotlin: If I am right, this will get you back the default kernel. Once you are running it, do "sudo apt-get autoremove" and that will remove the other, unused kernels [10:47] branant: i'm compiling on my netbook...it was painful... [10:48] serdotlin: I know, but it doesn't get any more fun then that! [10:48] grrrr...kubuntu doesnt work with my HD 6870 card [10:49] depressing.. [10:49] branant: at login screen, i cannot use the touchpad...after login, resolution was terrible and no mouse cursor and touchpad... [10:49] khmerog: Did you try to install ATI proprietary driver? [10:50] serdotlin: Is there a way you can get to the terminal? [10:51] no i didnt branant [10:51] branant: i'm using kernel 3.2 now...unity is working...sure [10:51] do u think that will work? [10:52] khmerog_: I am sure it usually works for nVidia cards. I am pretty sure it will work here too [10:53] branant: but i have to press shift button to select 3.2...waiting for dist-upgrade now... [10:53] branant: which terminal output do you want to see? [10:53] serdotlin: uname -a [10:54] haha nevermind i figured it out [10:54] i just had to change the screen resolution [10:54] branant: Linux precise 3.2.0-23-generic-pae [10:54] i went to the wrong place to do that [10:54] hello , im having trouble upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 [10:55] serdotlin: ok that's cool, now run sudo apt-get autoremove [10:55] E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. [10:55] this is the error [10:55] How do I enable window previews for minimized and non-minimized applications in Unity? [10:56] khmerog_: I think you should still install the latest and greatest driver from ATI! ;) [10:56] hey, does restarting your pc using shutdown cause files to disappear and disk damage? [10:56] shutdown the command that is [10:56] donnaR: No. [10:56] I enabled the window previews via compiz, but that only shows it for the currently active application (not even applications). [10:58] is there away to enable a proxy system wide? [10:58] strange it just rm'd my .bashrc twice in a row [10:58] time for xubuntu i guess [10:58] donnaR: who is 'it' [11:00] branant: look at this screenshot>http://imgur.com/JP8gP [11:01] hello ?? any help ? [11:01] <[DeVil-BoY]> tambem quero help [11:02] <[DeVil-BoY]> ops wrong channel [11:02] calou br [11:02] hi [11:02] i am having troubles installing kubuntu [11:02] can i ask it here or do they have their own channel? [11:02] khmerog_: just ask [11:03] kubuntu is nothing else then ubuntu using KDE ...so go for it ;) [11:03] do i make a partition before installing kub? [11:04] khmerog_: the installer should analyse the situation of your disks and offer several options [11:04] when i do, during the installation it wont let me use that partition. instead it gives me a slider to let me choose how much space i want to use for kub BUT it doesnt let me use the drive i just partitioned [11:04] some tend to be without user-input - some offer manual fiddling [11:04] khmerog_ yes, use fdisk to that end -- start by typing sudo fdisk -l to get an idea [11:04] which is okay but now that drive i just partition is not usuable or i canot even extend it back to the windows 7 drive [11:05] hello, i am using ubuntu 12.04. can someone tell me where you set behavior for things like when you put in a cd or dvd and you can set options like open or do nothing? [11:05] sudo fdisk -1 [11:05] khmerog_ in a terminal, type sudo fdisk -l (l stands for list) [11:06] legend2440: some default applications can be defined using 'System Settings' [11:06] legend2440, I use Ubuntu 11.10, i have it in the system settings [11:06] ok thanks [11:06] u have an icon there "removable media" [11:08] hello [11:08] where can i adjust a defaults for wpa_supplicant in addiction to network-manager ? i need to set there scan_ssid=1 for all connections [11:10] what software do u use to uninstall a linux OS while keeping windows 7? everythime i uninstall (usually just delete the drive linux is on :P) i get a boot, grub error [11:10] khmerog_ use a live cd, it installs the distro neatly alongside your windows installation [11:11] khmerog_: well basically you wouldnt need grub anymore as well if you jump back to a windows7 only setup [11:11] khmerog_ to uninstal, just delete the linu parttion [11:11] linux* [11:12] like i said MonkeyDust i have done that many times and each time i get a boot up error MBR or Grub error one of them [11:12] somebody show me how to remove kernel 3.4> here the screenshot> http://imgur.com/JP8gP [11:12] so there is no app out there that neatly removes any OS [11:12] live cd = wubi? [11:12] khmerog_: in worst case - you'll need to repair the mbr afterwards [11:13] khmerog_ have you used wubi to install? [11:13] khmerog_: but it might help to see the actual error you really get [11:13] i have used wubi the first time i ever installed Ubuntu yes (11.xx) but ppl here say WUBI is bad bad idea [11:14] but now i usually either do the manual installation or use the slider to determine how much space i want to use [11:14] i love the slider option but not all distro has it..which is unfortunate [11:14] khmerog_ wubi is about the worst invention since the atomic bomb, but anyway, to uninstall, just delete it in windows [11:14] Anyone know? [11:15] datruth, what was ur question? Can u repeat? [11:15] lol monkeydust [11:16] datruth, yes, HTTP_PROXY variable [11:16] wubi is very simple to use to install but why is it bad? [11:16] or what makes it bad? === Randy is now known as Randy^ [11:16] wubi installs ubuntu "over" windows, that's y i think [11:17] datruth, but some programs dont respect it (like web browsers) [11:17] jobinar: inside, not over [11:17] hrmm [11:17] khmerog_, Wubi creates Ubuntu images as normal files on NTFS. [11:17] That's why. [11:17] jobinar: wanted to know how to set system wide proxy [11:17] pfifo: where is the HTTP_PROXY var? [11:17] auronandace, ya, my mistake [11:17] Wubi is evil ]:-> === fOnixs_n4 is now known as Onixs_n4f [11:18] Wizard, does it, really? [11:18] so how does the execution of programs take place? [11:18] since linux, i heard, executes only on ext partitions [11:19] It creates partition image on Windows drive and set's up Grub4DOS. [11:19] So, The image is being mounted as root during boot, that's all. [11:19] No magic. [11:20] But you can't rely on NTFS, since it was implemented mostly by reverse engineering, AFAIK. [11:20] i have a question about phoca and picasa. Is the authentication key with or without char '#' ? [11:20] Wizard, but if the files are stored on NTFS partition, how can u execute ur programs on NTFS partition? Does linux support execution on NTFS> [11:20] jobinar, files aren't stored on NTFS. [11:21] Whole partition image is. [11:21] jobinar: wubi makes an image file that is stored on the ntfs partition [11:21] One, big file with EXT4 or whatever FS. [11:21] auronandace, then is the image running on NTFS partition? [11:22] jobinar: think of it as a virtual disk [11:22] jobinar, However, I still don't recommend using Wubi. [11:23] jobinar: the image file is stored on ntfs and mounted as a loopback device (afaik) [11:23] auronandace, Something like that. [11:23] Hello, I've just installed a new card ATI HD 3850 and I instaleld the Ati proprietary drivers and the whole system is laggy. Laggy mouse every 20 seconds or so, hell even a 360p video on youtube is extremely laggy.I've tried some fixes from forums which involved editing the xorg.confcan. Someone please please help me, I've been trying to fix this for the past 3 hours. :( [11:23] whats a loopback device, auronandace ? [11:23] hi, how can i disable the 'quote-spacebar' windows like behaviour in ubuntu 12.04 ? :) [11:23] jobinar, a device "emulating" real device. [11:23] result [11:23] jobinar: like an iso emulates a cd [11:23] hello [11:24] quote spacebar? [11:24] then Wizard is it that u don't recommend emulation? [11:25] jobinar: wubi is not an emulator [11:25] jobinar: emulation is better than wubi in my opinion (safer) [11:25] an iso file is a iso9660 filesystem in a file. ;) its not emulating a cd. [11:25] jobinar, No, I recommend normal install, on hard drive partition. [11:26] is there any way to disable the feature where you have to hit spacebar before a " shows up in ubuntu 12.04 ? Tried a different keyboard layout, but the feature remains :( [11:26] jobinar: wubi was always intended as a way to test out ubuntu (never a long term solution) [11:26] I agree. normal install if you want to use Ubuntu, or test it in virtualbox.

[11:28] :> [11:28] I cannot believe it was shipped without this feature/with this bug. [11:29] Thanks everyone! [11:29] I basically like everything about Unity, except that. [11:29] It completely kills the experience. [11:29] how can i get sound in a application that asks for /dev/dsp? [11:29] aoss does not work [11:29] ubuntu 12.04 [11:29] fasta, Screenshot, or id didn't happen ;] [11:30] fasta: rofl! [11:30] Wizard: I am talking about hover mouse over a launcher icon. [11:30] Wizard: no images are then displayed of all the windows on the current desktop. [11:30] user2 don't lol and rofl here please [11:31] i used to enable that on the old gnome i rember fasta never really noticed it missing. never really cared. ;) [11:31] fasta, That's right. [11:31] Dr_Willis: if I have 10 terminals open. How do I know which one to pick? [11:31] I wonder if that would work with some of the docks if you enabled the feature in compiz ccsm [11:31] fasta: You should know - they are your terminals.. [11:31] * Dr_Willis uses screen [11:31] You have to click on the tile, fasta. Than you will see thumbnails. === luizcantoni is now known as cantoni [11:32] no loling or rolfing? [11:32] If you have 10 terminals open, you're probably doing something wrong. [11:32] if i want to test out an operating system in a VM, what's the best way to set this from ubuntu? [11:32] Wizard: that's part of the 'it kills the experience'. [11:32] Ah. [11:32] Now I get it. [11:32] chu: there are people who manage 90 of them. [11:32] There are people doing something wrong. [11:33] chu I often have a load of putty sessions open in windows [11:33] Dr_Willis: Ì also use screen, but how exactly is the work flow then? [11:33] fasta, Unity-2d has such feature, you click on the icon and it shows thumbnails of this application. Terminal, in your case. [11:33] Does anyone know what is the maximum no of OS anyone can install on their system, considering he has unlimited disk space? [11:33] fasta: work? whats that? ;P [11:33] hklj [11:33] giu [11:33] fasta: oh work.. thats where i sit all day and irc from my cellphone instead of the pc. ;) [11:34] I'm having problems using IPv6 on my computer. It seems to prefer IPv4... [11:34] jobinar, Infinity. [11:34] jobinar, lots [11:34] Any way to simply enable it? [11:34] Dr_Willis: ... not helpful. [11:34] jobinar: I don't think there is a maximum, it comes down to disk space and being able to create enough partitions [11:34] Why isn't IPv6 enabled by default. [11:34] ? [11:34] because so few places have support for it yet [11:34] halvors: just enable it [11:34] fasta: i doubt if its going to be enablable in unity. the feature was rather buggy in the old gnome. I mentioned trying some of the docks out that Might emulate the old gnome panel enough where it might work with them [11:34] How? :) [11:34] ok [11:35] most guides are how to disable ipv6 :) [11:35] krababbel: How do i enable it? [11:35] Hey, I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and whenever I open Nautalis via the GUI it takes anywhere between 5-10s to open, and the "Opening " can hang for up to a little under a minute. When done through the terminal, it opens fine. Anybody know how to fix this? I'm using GNOME Classic. [11:35] classic a classy man [11:36] Dr_Willis: I know. But i want to use IPv6 since i actually have IPv6 connectivity. [11:36] halvors it isnt enabled, to avoid a lot of people asking how to disable it [11:36] halvors: You want to use IPv6 internally? [11:36] halvors, are you chatting from the future? [11:36] nope im having troubles..the best way that worked for me was to partition the drive on windows first and then install kubuntu. anyone else do it this way? [11:36] halvors: wow. :) thats like having a color printer back in the 1960s ;) [11:36] No gloablly. [11:36] Well, it's 6in4 on my Cisco router :P [11:36] khmerog_: No, that way sounds terrible lol [11:37] hmm [11:37] halvors: check the network manager settings? if it was anywhere. id think it would be there [11:37] halvors, windows mangles partitions [11:37] it does not! [11:37] deltaheavy because if i dont do it that wy. kubuntu will install over my windows 7 [11:37] halvors: theres a ipv6 settings tab in network manager. [11:37] khmerog_: The NTFS drivers for Linux is terrible compared to naitive support [11:38] Dr_Willis: But there is no way to enable it... [11:38] khmerog_: i use a gparted live cd and resize and leave part of the HD unallocated for the linux installer to partion. or i just make the partions from gparted and tell the installer exactly where to install to. [11:38] DeltaHeavy: still better than Ext* drivers for Windows [11:38] khmerog_: Not if you do it properly. Shrink your NTFS partition in Windows then either set your partition table up manually for *buntu or select "Use exisitng free space" [11:38] szal: Agree'd [11:38] My problem is that Ubuntu prefer IPv4 over IPv6, wich makes IPv6 pointless. [11:38] halvors: it seems to be enabled here. set to automatic. buti got no ipv6 router/features to give out any (that i know of) [11:39] Dr_Willis, you use gparted to shrink ntfs FSes? [11:39] halvors: IPv6 is meant to be used externally. Ubuntu really wasn't meant to be much more than a desktop OS. [11:39] IPv6 should be enabled by default after World IPv6 Launch. [11:39] andyw: it can do it. i do find windows7 can resize its own NTFS MUCH faster then gparted does [11:40] halvors: Plain false, IPv4 will be used internally for a long time to come. IPv6 is mainly for the actual internet, not your intranet. [11:40] last time i used gparted to resize a NTFS FS a train wreak doesn’t being to descibe the outcome [11:40] andyw: and windows 7 can resize the partion while in use.. so i can play farmville and resize. :) w [11:40] But how to enable it? [11:40] Even Windows 7 prefer IPv6... [11:40] Yeah, if you're going to resize a propriary file system use it's proprietary tool to do so for best results [11:40] andyw: the reccomended routine is to scandisk/defrag then use gparted, then rescandisk i belive [11:41] Dr_Willis, really? when did they bring that in. Can it do the system volume? [11:41] i'd never use gparted for ntfs [11:41] andyw: i resized my main partion on a new windows box to install linux while in use. so yes. [11:41] andyw: system volume resize while oneline works, on win7 [11:41] andyw: befor win7 - i dont think it could. [11:41] halvors: You sure? I doubt it, I've only ever used IPv4 on Windows 7. Also try looking around in /etc/network/ for a configuration file. [11:41] When the internet connection fails, the ssh session just gets stuck, I do not get my terminal prompt back. Why? [11:42] Thats pretty cool I have done live extensions in windows server but didnt know win7 can shrink the system vol live [11:42] melvincv: Try an escape key like "Ctrl + C" or "Ctrl + Z" [11:43] DeltaHeavy: no go [11:43] andyw: it can, though windows has no tools to compact the files to get more space [11:43] hi i am so happy whit ubuntu 12.04 , i want to know more this OS :) [11:43] but there are trial versions of defragmenters to do that [11:43] there is a free one as well [11:43] forget the name [11:44] how to detect and block port scanning? [11:44] I used perfect disk trial [11:44] Would you recommend an app for monitoring traffic consumption by applications? [11:44] c0deMaster, depends on how your connected to the internet [11:45] compact the files? you mean defrag the hd? [11:45] c0deMaster: That's more a question for #networking or #security [11:45] Hi ! I would like to talk about shell scripts. What is the channel ? [11:45] rildo try #bash [11:45] c0deMaster: theres services like fail2ban or others.. but if you have no services listening.. then the scans see nothing.. so they move on. [11:45] Hey, I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and whenever I open Nautalis via the GUI it takes anywhere between 5-10s to open, and the "Opening " can hang for up to a little under a minute. When done through the terminal, it opens fine. Anybody know how to fix this? I'm using GNOME Classic. [11:46] so is this just a gen chat channel then? [11:46] is there an internet maltiplayer in ubuntu [11:46] ? [11:46] Thanks MonkeyDust [11:46] I don't like unity [11:46] van9ogh: so use some of the other desktops [11:46] happy: Gaming in Linux is pretty much non-existant compared to Windows. Why I still run Windows mainly. [11:46] van9ogh i don't like/use unity [11:47] andyw: Support channel, #ubuntu-offtopic is gen chat [11:47] yes,Mint [11:47] van9ogh mint is not supported here [11:47] DeltaHeavy, cool just clarifying [11:47] i do not understand what you mean ? [11:47] van9ogh: theres kde, gnome-shell, lxde, xfce, and others.. [11:47] ? [11:47] andyw, for a vps? [11:47] van9ogh: mint is a distribution, not a desktop [11:47] so,meta [11:48] happy start here http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/games.html [11:49] Who the hell puts a dir like /html/ on their website lol [11:50] first of first [[ I NEED TO MAKE MY NAME IN THIS CHAT SHOW TO ME AS A DEFRENT COLOUR]] [11:50] happy: no you dont.. its OUR clients that color the nicks.. not yours [11:50] happy, lose the caps [11:50] happy: so check your irc client docs if you cant see your own nick. ;) [11:51] okay sorry [11:51] happy, which irc client [11:51] i am so new in this [11:51] the gateway [11:52] happy, you might ask in #freenode about the webchat client [11:52] happy: Usually if you go to Edit --> Preferences it'll be somewhere there. [11:52] thanks :) [11:53] I have no idea what client you're using but it's the equivlent to 'Tools --> Options' in Windows. [11:54] CTCP ? [11:54] what is CTCP ? [11:55] happy, to check your version irc client ctcp version [11:55] happy: time to read up some irc basics sites i belive. ;) [11:56] Dr_Willis where would i find that ?? [11:56] happy: The Googler [11:56] the Internetz! ;) [11:57] 有人会说中文吗 [11:57] van9ogh, #ubuntu-cn [11:57] happy: Honestly I wouldn't be too concerned with learning IRC basics other than: 1) Registering 2) Getting around [11:57] understand [11:57] thx! [11:58] Hello, I installed an ATI card and installed the proprietary drivers, and the mouse is laggy and the desktop is laggy as well. Even youtube videos. I searched online with no success. Any suggestions? [11:58] i am learning now [11:58] i will be back :) [11:59] shape: ATI isn't supported very well in Linux at all. There may not be a fix at all but I'm not certain. [11:59] DeltaHeavy, damn, I should've know before I bought it then :( [11:59] happy the best way to learn, is by just using it, like we all did and do [12:01] DeltaHeavy, should I install the drivers from their site? I heard they can break the system, on multiple forums. === Wesley is now known as wesley [12:01] it also depends on how new the ati card and how old .:) [12:01] shape: Is it a Linux driver? [12:01] DeltaHeavy, yes [12:01] :( how to change the input languch to arabic in ubuntu ?? [12:02] shape: Is it reported to break on *buntu or Debian related distros, or distros like Fedora because I know Fedora has major issues with that. [12:02] DeltaHeavy, actually on their website, there is none! [12:02] shape: What about the stuff you read? [12:03] DeltaHeavy, I would have to dig it up again. Also I can;t even install the post-release drivers even!. I get an error from jockey. [12:05] DeltaHeavy, would it matter if I had an nvidia card before, and purged the nvidia-current. After which I installed the card? Would it get fixed if I format everything and do a clean install? [12:05] shape: What's the error? [12:05] DeltaHeavy, one sec. [12:05] shape: if you have a spare flash drive you could do a quick instal to it. and try the ati drivers from a new install as a test [12:05] shape: A reinstall would fix that but it's probably not needed. I'm not too sure about that though. [12:06] :( how to change the input languch to arabic in ubuntu [12:06] shape: You could also Google your exact card and the vesion of Ubuntu you're using like this '"" "Ubuntu 12.04"' [12:06] Dr_willis: I thought of that, but then I am too noob to know how to delete from Grub the Ubuntu option that would be on the flash after I remove the flash [12:07] happy: A lot of these questions can be awnsered very easily with a simple Google query. If you still can't find any awnsers, then ask here. I'd awnser you now but I'd have to Google it. [12:07] DeltaHeavy, what would I gain from doing that? you mean forum threads about peopel having problems? [12:07] shape: If there were issues with that card running with your version of Ubuntu it'll pop up. === spacebug is now known as spacebug- [12:08] DeltaHeavy, yeah I actually searched for the issues on google, and tried multiple fixes, even changing xorg.conf, but with no luck. [12:09] shape: http://xkcd.com/963/ [12:09] shape: Could people get it working without performing some sort of rediculous amount of work? [12:10] YAY!! i succesfully installed Kubuntu alongisde Windows 7...i had to partition the drive first in windows and then format it (sda3) then install kubuntu [12:10] hey, I'm trying to make a linux image using buildroot-2012.05 (latest version right now), but when I run "make busybox-menuconfig" I get "No rule to make target" [12:10] shape: it would have its own grub on the usb [12:10] khmerog: Format it with Windows in NTFS or in the Kubuntu installer? [12:11] more specifically I get: make: *** No rule to make target `busybox-menuconfig'. Stop. [12:11] DeltaHeavy, no, from what Ive seen. Ive searched mainly regarding mouse lag and laggy windows which gave a lot of results [12:11] manixrock: When executing this command what's your present working directory? Have you tried running './configure'? [12:11] format it with windows in the disk managment [12:11] shape: Then that's probably just an issue. [12:11] Dr_Willis, So if I have running Ubuntu with Grub on my PC, the Ubuntu that I install on the flashdrive, will install grub on the flash, and once I remove the flash, the second grub wil lbe gone, correct? [12:11] this was the weirdest linux install i have ever done... ubuntu 1204 is easy, joliOS, Linux Mint, Lubuntu [12:12] khmerog: I highly advise against that but if it's working for you enjoy. Don't be surprized if you see the odd corrupted file here and there. [12:12] but kubuntu not very simple [12:12] hi [12:12] DeltaHeavy: I get: bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [12:12] DeltaHeavy, so, from that comic, the more you open xorg.conf, the better? [12:12] the current directory is the buildroot folder [12:12] manixrock: What's your present working directory when executing those commands. [12:12] shape: The worse [12:12] well i will use kubuntu for web browsing since my HD 6870 always crashes in windows 7 while watching windows or a website that uses flash [12:12] Dr_Willis: hm... what is the default "Standard" user ? [12:12] DeltaHeavy: the current directory is the buildroot folder [12:12] any downloads i do i will save it onto the Windows 7 drive [12:13] on an Ubuntu 12.04 installation ? [12:13] manixrock: What's the output of 'pwd' [12:13] DeltaHeavy, oh sorry, yes, that's right [12:13] I'm doing a script to open a couple of apps and would like to know how can I say to open an app on a different desk? [12:13] the problem is that my program works, if I run that from command line, but not from the desktop with a launcher icon due to permission issues.... [12:13] DeltaHeavy: /home/myusername/Downloads/buildroot-2012.02 [12:13] shape: It's not safe to say yet, but it wouldn't be surprizing if you're SOL [12:14] DeltaHeavy, what's "SOL" [12:14] manixrock: Can you pastebin the output of 'ls -la' [12:14] shape: Shit Out of Luck [12:14] lpapp: im not sure what you mean. [12:15] lpapp: When you run the program in terminal are you using 'sudo'? [12:15] Dr_Willis: there is an app requiring access to the serial port, so my package's postinst script puts that user into the "dialout" group [12:15] DeltaHeavy, the thing is, ATI has the best AGP cards, that would allow me to run hardware acceleration on this old computer (1.6Ghz sempron), So I can watch 1080p movies. :( [12:15] DeltaHeavy: nope [12:15] Dr_Willis, thanks for the suggestion btw! I will probably end up doing the USB thing [12:15] lpapp: Are you framiliar with 'chmod'? [12:15] DeltaHeavy: here - http://pastebin.com/BYpiZ5vX [12:16] shape: They also have terrible linux support, and terrible drivers for Windows to begin with. [12:16] DeltaHeavy: yes, I used that 15 years ago first [12:16] what has this to do with chmod ? [12:16] moin [12:16] DeltaHeavy, yeah, yet there are users who use them. And I thought I would take the chance. [12:17] lpapp: If it's a premissions issue are you sure the files you're trying to execute have proper premissions? You probably already checked that though so idk. [12:17] DeltaHeavy: really no clue what you mean [12:17] DeltaHeavy: I downloaded those files as an archive from here: http://buildroot.uclibc.org/download.html [12:17] shape: how about the open source ATI driver that's installed by default? What issues does it have? [12:17] the process does have access to stuff, if it is run with the user created during the installation. [12:17] DeltaHeavy: the link "buildroot-2012.02.tar.gz " [12:17] I'm doing a script to open a couple of apps and would like to know how can I say to open an app on a different desk? [12:18] melvincv, no issues, but no hardware acceleration. :( [12:18] всем привет [12:18] manixrock: Try './Config.in' './Makefile' and if that doesn't work pastebin 'ls -la configs' or just mess around in there. If there's no target you probably need to run some sort of shell script in here [12:18] delete: This is an english channel only. [12:18] ok [12:19] DeltaHeavy: the tutorial on this page - http://buildroot.uclibc.org/buildroot.html#custom_busybox - says to run "make busybox-menuconfig" [12:19] we are russian cannel [12:19] !ru | delete If you want a russion channel, there is this [12:19] delete If you want a russion channel, there is this: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [12:19] NCS_One: which window manager are you using? [12:19] NewWorld: gnome [12:19] NCS_One: ok then sorry I don't know [12:20] manixrock: And it's saying there's no target? Try going into the root directory of the source files (the folder the .tar.gz gave you) and just run 'make'. [12:20] DeltaHeavy: when I run "sudo ./Config.in" I get: "sudo: ./Config.in: command not found" [12:20] whitecrow is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [12:20] i got this error after upgrade to 12.04 [12:21] so whitecrow was your main admin user? [12:21] DeltaHeavy, hey, thanks for your help btw. I really appreciate it. I will end up installing on the USB, and then probably if it doesn't work, just end up using the opensource drivers. Because the card is good. I can play 1080p in windows with this old processor, so I can still watch movies. [12:21] manixrock: If you're going to use sudo don't include the './' [12:21] looks like i've writen sudoers conf from maintainer instead of maintain the old one [12:21] Dr_Willis, yes [12:21] How come 'no hardware acceleration' for the ATI radeon open source driver. But I get Ubuntu 3D Unity with it. [12:21] shape: Not a problem [12:22] Dr_Willis, any way to recover , this is a VPS [12:22] DeltaHeavy: when I run "sudo Config.in" I get: "sudo: Config.in: command not found" [12:22] Where to get info on how popular Ubuntu is atm? Like no. of users? [12:22] i've read some instructions but looks to be for local computer [12:23] is there any other place in ubuntu server 12.04 LTS version that controls the total number of connections into a server besides net.core.somaxconn?????????? [12:23] ngomes: ive never used a VPS so no idea [12:24] shouldn't the desktop shortcut run the stuff at the Exec line as the currently logged in user ? If yes, Ubuntu messes up stuff since I only created one account while installing this... [12:24] hellp [12:24] DeltaHeavy: running "make" in the buildroot directory throws these errors - http://pastebin.com/09pg1JTR [12:24] melvincv, distrowatch.com , maybe [12:24] yeah, no other users in /home either, just the lost+found folder. [12:25] sorry, if i didnt answer anyone, but i really cannt seperate between the members by any colour [12:25] manixrock: you're missing dependencies [12:25] ikonia: how do I know which to install? [12:25] manixrock: Ok now we're getting somewhere. Run 'sudo apt-get install ncurses-devel' [12:25] manixrock: meet the depencencies [12:25] manixrock: why are you building this from source ? [12:25] ok installing now [12:26] lpapp: try running 'xterm' and see what user it is. [12:26] ikonia: I want to make a tiny linux image [12:26] and i thing i am using the online freenode , i mean not an installed software [12:26] ikonia: am I doing it wrong? [12:26] manixrock: what do you mean, tiny linux image ? [12:26] lpapp: exactly how are you running this stuff? [12:26] Dr_Willis: in gnome-terminal [12:26] and run [12:27] KingKatari: please don't cross-post your questions between here and #ubuntu-server. [12:27] xterm exactly runs the same obviously as gnome-terminal [12:27] I do not really see the problem [12:27] manixrock: Do you just want this installed or do you want to compile it from source? [12:27] k [12:27] ikonia: I want to recreate the linux image used in the Javascript PC Emulator - http://bellard.org/jslinux/tech.html [12:27] lpapp: You run an app from gnome-terminal and it changes users? so if you run xterm from gnome-terminal its now running as what user? === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [12:28] manixrock: ok, so this really isn't anything to do with ubuntu [12:28] Dr_Willis: I think you are overcomplicating this [12:28] ikonia: I want to re-create (and then modify) this: http://bellard.org/jslinux/vmlinux-2.6.20.bin [12:28] there is only one user created, stop. [12:28] manixrock: yeah, I've just read the URL, you're basically creating a linux boot envionment based on the jslinux source/provided data [12:29] ikonia: yes. am I in the wrong chat room for this? [12:29] manixrock: yeah, I'd try the guys who build jslinux [12:29] manixrock: they should be able to walk through issues/problems/questions with you [12:30] ikonia: it's just a standard busybox built with buildroot as far as I can tell [12:30] it shouldn't have anything to do with the fact that it's used by the Js emulator [12:31] manixrock: looks like it sure [12:31] so basically I just want to learn how to use the buildroot thing [12:31] manixrock: but that's also nothing to do with ubuntu [12:31] any ideas guys ? [12:31] ikonia: where should I ask then? [12:31] manixrock: no idea, the busy box guys ? [12:32] doesn't anyone here know how to build a binary linux image? [12:32] manixrock: sure, but it's an ubuntu support channel, [12:33] manixrock: hence why trying the busybox guys should be a better approach [12:33] ikonia: how do I find those guys? :) [12:33] manixrock: read their website for their contact/support information [12:33] ok [12:34] Hi, how many mount points can Ubuntu have? Like sda, sdb....sdaa...sdaaa, etc [12:34] WhereIsMySpoon: mount points or partitions [12:34] mount points [12:35] for external usb devices, for example [12:35] WhereIsMySpoon: pretty much as many as you want, (I'm sure there is a limit, but it's something crazy like 25,0000) [12:35] WhereIsMySpoon: those are device names... [12:35] WhereIsMySpoon: and once ya get past sdz it goes to sdaa and sdab i belive ive read somewhere [12:35] yes i know how it works [12:35] i just wanted to know if there was a limit [12:36] WhereIsMySpoon: a limit you'll never hit [12:36] ive seen them at least 8+ characters.. [12:36] mccblk0p# for sd cards [12:36] ikonia, ok [12:36] WhereIsMySpoon: There isn't as far as I know. Winblows is the only OS I know if with such a stupid restriction. [12:36] ooh wait, you mean a limit on the size of the label, or a limit on the number of number of mounts [12:36] DeltaHeavy: it's called "Windows" - please use the proper name [12:36] ikonia, well, surely the latter would stem from the former [12:37] ikonia: no [12:37] WhereIsMySpoon: no, how long a string is, has nothing to do with how many mount points [12:37] otherwise you'd get multiple mounts on the same label [12:37] Wintendo, Winblow, Internet Exploder [12:37] my alt-tab is no longer working . any ideas ? [12:38] ikonia, so what would happen when you reach max string size [12:38] and you tried to mount [12:38] WhereIsMySpoon: it would just refuse with an error saying "mountpoint name too long" or "volume label too long" something like that [12:38] ikonia, ok then [12:38] WhereIsMySpoon: basically the mount point is the limit of the file/directory name size [12:38] I think that's 250 chars or something like that [12:39] ikonia, does that include the "/media/" before it ? [12:39] or wherever you mounted it [12:39] WhereIsMySpoon: no, that would be a path, not a string [12:39] eh, i didnt mean media [12:39] i meant /dev/ [12:40] but whatever [12:40] ikonia, so only the "sdxxxx" are counted from the path [12:40] WhereIsMySpoon: /dev is a device name, not a mount point or a volume label [12:40] WhereIsMySpoon: you don't need to worry about /dev devices [12:40] er [12:40] does fedora use the same programs/software packages as ubuntu and linux mint? [12:40] ikonia, /dev/sd is wha ti was talking about [12:41] WhereIsMySpoon: yes, you don't need to worry about that, it's managed by udev [12:41] if there was a limit to those labels [12:41] ikonia, ? surely there must be a limit on that too [12:41] WhereIsMySpoon: they are not labels, they are device file and outside your control [12:41] ohh [12:41] khmerog: core components, yes, put together different/versioned different, sure [12:42] ok then [12:42] sorry for the confusion [12:42] and thanks === tmr0_ is now known as tmr0_afk [12:42] WhereIsMySpoon: not a problem, it can be confusing [12:42] ikonia, :D [12:42] i see [12:43] basicallt ubuntu, kubuntu, linux mint are all the same but they just look different correct? [12:43] with a little difference btw ubuntu and linux mint [12:44] khmerog: linux is all about layers :) think of it as layers of legos forming a house. the layers of the foundation may be the same or close to the same, but the upper layers can be very differnt. [12:44] khmerog: bottom line -yes, different desktops, it's more complex but that's the bottom line of it [12:44] the Desktop/Gui is just one of the many layers the user sees.. like the roof and sideing. ;P [12:45] ahhh!! very nice explanation/example [12:45] and Ogres are Like Onions... [12:45] but the cake is a lie. [12:45] * Dr_Willis shuts up now. [12:45] xD [12:46] ive been using linux for about 1 year but never got the technical part of it..i just like the visuals or maybe im just bored of windows [12:46] how about fedora? [12:46] technically the kernel is 'linux' thats like the big green lego you stick all the others onto [12:46] i see that fedora also has a KDE version [12:46] khmerog: what about it ? [12:47] kernel is the kernel.. rest of layers are similer or differnt depending on the disrto. ;) [12:47] fedora and ubuntu/mint uses the same software managers [12:47] khmerog: last i looked.. mint uses apt-get/apt just like all deb based disrtos [12:47] or do they have their own softwares..example K3B burn is it only for ubuntu or is there veryso [12:47] ok [12:47] fedora uses RPM - whish is very differnt [12:47] same software - differnt package managers... [12:48] what really confused me is if i want to get the latest release of a software..i go to there website. but there is like 5 different linux versions [12:49] khmerog: stick with the package manager tools.. going to a 'web site' to get software is a windows-type-mindset === esm is now known as Guest13558 [12:49] khmerog: Same program and same version of it, just different packages made for different package managers [12:49] khmerog, for ubuntu/mint/debian use apt. for redhat/suse use yum but dont download from the web [12:49] some pages like http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html is pretty simple but there are others that dont list ubuntu [12:50] khmerog: If it lists others but not Ubuntu, look for a .deb package. Ubuntu can install that [12:51] sometimes. it can at least. ;) [12:52] newworld and what app do i use to install the .deb files? [12:52] there is many different brands/types of linux...

[15:23] ZenMaster: you may want to try 12.04 LTS out on a live CD/DVD or USB flash drive, before upgrading to it [15:24] poire21: why can't you login? Password not accepting? screen not turning on? [15:24] is there something about my sshd_config question that prevents a response? i only ask because i've posed the question about 6 times in the last 24 hrs. heh [15:24] amh345, probably because people dont know [15:24] Screen turns on, but instead of the usuall login screen (with familiar wallpaper) I get a terminal-esque screen stating the name of my computer and asking for my login (username) and then my password [15:25] anyone any idea Y I cannot log in 2 youtube on this machine after the latest updates??

[16:48] meharzada: please use a more recent version (12.04 is latest) Version 10.10 is end of life and no longer supported [16:48] sfears: yea tried that too.. [16:48] can i upgrade it [16:48] ? [16:48] yggdrasil: have you looked in the additional drivers application to make sure you have non-generic drivers installed? [16:48] meharzada: yes, but fresh install is much easier [16:49] meharzada: it's a long way from 10.10 to 12.04 [16:49] oCean: why ? [16:49] djszapi: why what [16:49] I can upgrade a more years old archbox without any issues [16:49] to the new system... [16:49] sfears: yes, i have loaded the two different versions that are presented to me in the additional drivers and rebooted with both. no go :( [16:49] ok nice but how can i resolve the issue which i m facing [16:49] ive googled and cant seem to find anything either. === lub` is now known as lubmil [16:50] my ubuntu radio stream has streamed almost 20,000 songs :) === epzil0n is now known as Guest77995 [16:51] meharzada, start by opening a terminal and typing "sudo echo success[ENTER]" and see if it prints success after you type in your password [16:51] Hi, is anyone familiar with the ban process on irc.icq.com? I am trying to sign in and it tells me I'm banned and I cannot make any sense of it... [16:51] how can i check the terminal [16:51] ? [16:51] djszapi: ubuntu does not always have direct upgrade paths [16:51] meharzada: your version is too old, the repositories (software) is no longer available [16:51] yggdrasil: what video card are you using? [16:52] meharzada: so, FIRST install a new version THEN come ask for support [16:52] mmm [16:52] its some nvidia [16:52] Ok, so after upgrading through from 1004 to 1204, my the only issues I encountered were flashplugin nomenclature breaking the upgrade to oneiric, and asterisk issues... which I got around... now in 1204 my dash home appears to be deaf dumb and blind to any applications I have. Nothing I type in there returns any results, and there are no defaults in there... filters set to all. Any ideas? [16:52] and your desktop effects are working properly yggdrasil?

I'm having an issue while attempting to format a laptop into ubuntu. I have tried using a USB flash drive and a CD and I encounter the same issue, after the installation process commences the screen freezes for 2 minutes and I get a screen of black and white horizontal bars frozen permanently until a forced reboot. Help anyone? [17:07] yggdrasil: please take it easy on the key :), and it usually helps all if you put the nick of a person you are talking to at the start of your line [17:08] my dell laptop has buttons for controlling the volume and for muting ... [17:08] somehow, mute works properly, but unmute does not. [17:08] how're the buttons associated with the volume controls? [17:09] when running a command like cpulimit -e process -l 40 < is this permanent or does it revert when rebooted? [17:09] amh345, reverts. [17:09] it only becomes 'permanent' if you set it every time you boot up. [17:09] oh ok. thank you. [17:09] or if the values are saved somewhere. [17:10] amh345: you can add it /etc/rc.local [17:10] and just so i understand. that's 40% of the CPU, correct? [17:10] Wizard: thank you1 [17:10] bjorkintosh, check out acpid [17:10] bhull05: ping. [17:10] bhull05: Does it freeze after you hit "Restart"? [17:11] how are you folks liking 12.04 [17:12] Wizard: No, it freezes when I press "Run Ubuntu from USB Drive" [17:12] dijonyummy, i've been on it for a few months now. [17:12] hmm. i wonder. anyone using 3.4 yet? [17:12] 3.what? :> [17:13] Wizard: Then, it scrolls through a wall of text and the purple Ubuntu screen comes up, but after the 5 dots go from white to orange it freezes for about 2 minutes, and then the black and white bar screen comes up. [17:13] Wizard, kernel. === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [17:13] I installed some things from FUBAR, the same thing but different versions, and now it's really fubar. How do I clean it up? [17:13] bjorkintosh: 3.2.0-24-powerpc-smp [17:14] bhull05: Which gfx card? Optimus? [17:14] Wizard: Graphics card? [17:14] Yup. [17:15] !list [17:15] pieruccio: No warez here!

This has to be something with gfx card. It is possible to change video mode during cd boot, but I've forgotten how ;P [17:17] bhull05: have you installed the nvidia drivers? [17:18] L3tops: He's booting LiveCD ;] [17:19] doh [17:19] L3tops: I also don't know how to help you with Dash. Look at .xsession-errors, maybe some config file is screwed. [17:19] I mean broken ;P [17:19] try booting with the nomodeset option bhull05 [17:19] L3tops: Now I'm encountering another issue while attempting to install. I have a thread on the ubuntu forums here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1986548 ... Please take a look becuase this is the screen I'm currently encountering. [17:20] hallo [17:20] is there a command line torrent client [17:20] dijonyummy: several [17:20] dijonyummy: Lots. [17:21] dijonyummy: you can even run azureus on a commandline [17:21] nemo: cool, which is good and easy to use [17:21] dijonyummy: which is kinda handy if you want to switch back and forth [17:21] irc.rizon.net [17:21] dijonyummy: *shrug* that's personal taste [17:21] I mentionedo ne [17:22] I'm currently seeding Hedgewars tar.bz2 and exe in azureus, but that's mostly laziness.

If you could take a quick glance I'd appreciate it. I can't figure out how to set the nomodeset as this gentlemen suggests though. Any help would be great. [17:25] Wizard: well, I've been using azureus for years. but might be worth moving.

[17:29] Unity is really worth trying. === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [17:29] beandog, no :/ [17:29] If you don't have many specific options, you can also remove .config .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd and so ;] [17:30] yes... I have other performance issues with it on this junk ATI... just going a bit lighter weight. I have no shortage of machines to run it on [17:30] CIFS mounting issue... I have a drobo NAS with a share called central. I can 'smbclient -L drobo-primary' and see the share called central. However when I run the command 'sudo mount -t cifs -o username=bustabust,password=mypass //10.10.1.150/central /mnt/drobo' error says Unable to find suitable address. Any ideas? I've googled the heck out of this thing [17:30] Wizard: I'm trying hard to get used to it. Still handles apps like Eclipse badly though (loses track of it and tries to launch again instead of switching) [17:30] Wizard: also lack of applets *really* pisses me off. I miss my cpu/network monitors [17:31] nemo: Java apps are easy to fix. [17:31] I did that with my IntelliJ <3 [17:31] CiDhed I didn't think about that... maybe you could launch wicd as root from startup [17:31] nemo: you just have to edit their desktop file and add StartupWMClass. [17:32] Wizard: oh. and if I launch 2 instances of firefox, even with completely different paths, (/home/nemo/firefox.nightly/firefox vs /usr/bin/firefox) it thinks they are same firefox as on launcher, and clicking focuses the nightly one. I guess I could try making another launcher, now that I learned alacarte is the workaround for their removing that capability from pretty much anywhere [17:32] L3tops, that is what I am trying now. [17:32] Wizard: now about those applets... :-p [17:32] Which you can get by running xprop. [17:32] wicd has always been a decent network manager. Don't know why it isn't the main in ubuntu. [17:32] nemo: Unity uses WM_CLASS to sort windows. [17:32] Firefox will allways be Firefox ;] [17:33] Wizard: that has nothing to do with firefox [17:33] It has. [17:33] Wizard: and everything to do w/ launching another app w/ same name but totally different location [17:33] I told you, Unity uses WM_CLASS window hint. [17:34] Wizard: you did mention, I'm just saying how it is annoying as a user [17:34] Applications usually use *same* WM_CLASS regardless of version or path. [17:34] I don't particularly care *what* they chose to do. they are just replacing an interface that did work [17:34] nemo: You can't do anything with this. [17:34] nemo: apt-get install gnome-session-fallback [17:34] hi guys, i've a desktop with an i5 and an ati 6750. With proprietary ati drivers, 3d won't work, instead if I use the integrated intel everything works fine, except sometimes [17:34] Nothing is being replaced :/ [17:35] Wizard: this was more about your "unity is really worth trying" so I mentioned my trying, and things encountered. I could go on [17:35] Wizard: for example, Unity2D makes resizing windows almost impossible [17:35] sometimes, desktop start withouth 3d working [17:35] and I don't know why [17:35] there's an open bug on that. has been open for a while [17:35] nemo: Yes, I know. [17:36] my SO is using Unity2D 'cause 3D was too unreliable (crashy/sluggish) on her intel gfx card [17:36] I got used to alt+right click resize years ago, so I don't care ;P [17:36] Wizard: yeeeah. 'scuse me for not recommending that to her. [17:36] I am having a problem starting audacity... with errors.... something to do with alsa or possible jack... so i ran the script and uploaded the output to http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=1e069eb0ac6fa82fb489549ceca37fc5affa0d3e [17:36] Wizard: I'm experimenting w/ MATE but unfortunately it still doesn't play nice w/ Gnome3 installed [17:36] nemo: This bug is a metacity bug actually. [17:36] Wizard: maybe soon. [17:37] Wizard: well. metacity + excessively thin border themes in default Unity2D [17:37] Wizard: shouldn't give users a non-functional experience in the interests of style [17:37] nemo: Don't like Unity? Try something else, like Xubuntu or GNOME-Shell. [17:37] cypher-neo: ... [17:37] nemo, you should try the Mint 13 MATE edition [17:38] how can i check which version of php is in the repos? the lampstack page says php5, but that could mean 5.1 for all I know [17:38] not really sure why audacity is not working [17:38] dlentz: hm. I was using the one off the ubuntu PPA - is it significantly different in Mint? [17:38] can someone help me out with this? [17:38] nemo, I found an amazing XFCE distro called Voyager. It doesn't use Unity at all so you shouldn't have a problem it. [17:38] and thanks in advanced [17:39] dlentz: main issue was w/ config daemon startup errors, causing most of config to be unusable. someone blamed that on having Gnome3 installed [17:39] no one may help me? [17:39] !details | ferris [17:39] ferris: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [17:39] nemo: Usually new users are amused by Unity. [17:39] dlentz: but I was unwilling to remove Gnome3 - esp since I'm experimenting w/ MATE to try and find my mom a migration path off 11.04 that she's been trapped on [17:39] It works. It's predictable. Preconfigured. [17:39] ferris, You're having problems with Sound? Go to Advanced Settings, and click on Sound. Make sure the Sound is turned up and not muted, and then from Sound Settings you can run tests and see why it's not working. [17:39] Wizard: heh. unless they use Unity2D [17:39] nemo: I do. [17:39] then they are amused in not-a-fun-way [17:40] Religion forbids me using Compiz. [17:40] ;P [17:40] unity2d also made moving apps between monitors almost impossible [17:40] Let's take this chat to #ubuntu-offtopic. [17:40] way too hard to drag them around [17:40] Wizard: these are legit bugs that I'm looking for fixes on. hardly off-topic [17:40] nemo: I got thing into my hands and fixed a bug myself. [17:41] I added patch to launchpad issue, but *nobody* did *anything* with it. [17:41] another fun one w/ 2 monitor setup. experimenting w/ disabling laptop monitor and just using plugged in one. every time she reboots I have to disable the laptop monitor again, it always forgets. That one might be lowerlevel than Unity I guess, although XFCE did not do this [17:41] For more than a week. [17:41] ;] [17:41] nemo: I agree, many things need polishing. [17:41] to put it mildly :) [17:41] But. I appreciate one thing. [17:42] nemo: ;) [17:42] Wizard: they haven't even gotten to the level of function my mom has been used to for years in Gnome2 :) [17:42] nemo, Out of curiousity, which XFCE distro did you use? Standard Xubuntu, or another X flavor? [17:42] Yes, I know. [17:42] nemo: sop that ranting please [17:42] *stop [17:42] how do i check to see how much physical memory i have? [17:42] But at least Linux has *unique* GUI. [17:42] guntbert... when i start audacity it silently quits. When I start it in a terminal it gives errors and quits.... never gets to the ui [17:42] guntbert: those aren't rants. those are a list of bugs. if you know of workarounds or fixes, you could be helpful instead of rude. if you're an admin, well, still being rude [17:43] schultza, sudo dmidecode [17:43] And I was waiting for this for more than 10 years. [17:43] the alsa-info information is posted at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=1e069eb0ac6fa82fb489549ceca37fc5affa0d3e [17:43] cypher-neo: I'm not using an XFCE4 distro - I install it on standard ubuntu [17:43] schultza: cat /proc/meminfo will tell you more than you ever wanted to know :) [17:43] cypher-neo: just one more window manager [17:43] Besides, Unity's gui reminds me WindowMaker ;P [17:43] nemo: this is a support channel, no developers here [17:43] I used to like WindowMaker. [17:43] guntbert: yes. and those are user interface bugs. perhaps there are workarounds or fixes. [17:44] I am not having playback issues as i can listen to music, watch videos ect... just can't start audacity [17:44] ferris: send the output of audacity to a !pastebin [17:44] ferris, have you made any attempt to google the error you receive from audacity in the terminal? [17:44] nemo: join #ubuntu-offtopic. [17:44] guntbert: I'm quite familiar w/ how to find the dev channel thanks, just none of this is appropriate to it :-p [17:44] there was another command that showed both physical and page/disk memory used and total [17:44] yes [17:44] We can talk freely there. [17:44] !google | dlentz [17:44] dlentz: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [17:44] schultza: top will also tell you about resources. [17:45] nemo, Oh, okay. I experimented with a sweet XFCE distro last week called Voyager. [17:45] schultza, free -m [17:45] Bah. [17:45] thanks [17:45] cypher-neo: unfortunately XFCE4 is still not too novice friendly. even doing something simple like adjusting clock. also config is not very integrated/consistent. I wouldn't inflict it on my mom [17:45] dlentz, yeah i have which is why i am hoping someone can take a look at the output and tell me what I need to do [17:45] guntbert, thanks for the information (that i've seen a bazillion times), but i did not tell anyone to google anything, just asked if they already had [17:45] Wizard: have more than enough channels open in irssi. thanks anyway. [17:45] :S [17:46] Too bad, it was such a interesting discussion. [17:46] this just started after the upgrade to 12 lts [17:46] ferris: you need to show us the output :-) (use a pastebin please) [17:46] nemo, Funny... I just adjusted my clock.... [17:47] nemo, Didn't seem too hard to me. [17:47] cypher-neo: try timezone :-p [17:47] ferris, yes, do as guntbert suggested and pastebin the error === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [17:47] nemo, Oh... I see what you mean. [17:47] is webmin safe or is a security flaw? [17:47] Not sure it will display properly in pastebin but we will see [17:47] !webmin | unkn-error [17:47] unkn-error: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [17:48] ok... it looks like it will work [17:48] is there an free alternative to webmin and cpanel? [17:48] http://pastebin.com/jM4SKaFm [17:49] nemo, Actually... once I put my mind to figuring it out, it wasn't too difficult to do. [17:50] ferris: that is the output of audacity? [17:50] cypher-neo: oh? is there a nice gui for it? last I checked it still had to be done on commandline [17:50] dlentz guntbert It is in paste bin... those are the outputs from the alsa-info script [17:50] unacceptable for mom or SO [17:50] nemo, I opened Settings, clicked on Calendar, and there was a Timezone option. [17:50] guntbert, yes [17:50] cypher-neo: oh. haha. that doesn't actually change it :) [17:50] yes. I know. also. really hard to navigate [17:50] guntbert, no... that is from alsa [17:50] not audacity [17:51] ferris: I expected the output of audacity, but maybe someone else will be able to see problems in the alsa-info [17:52] Figured it out, if anyone cares [17:52] CiDhed: figured what out? [17:52] guntbert, this is the output from audacity http://pastebin.com/ZPe4zpxR [17:52] Limited users not being able to connect to new public networks without a root password. [17:53] d3m!urg34rch0n$ [17:53] LOL. Typing in the wrong window [17:53] CiDhed: is a fix for that? [17:53] ferris: now I see why you posted the alsa-info - alas I am not able to help with those issues - sorry [17:54] Anybody running Motion? I'm trying to set up multiple cameras and am curious about the motion.conf file. With multiple cameras, you use the thread.conf files (1 per camera). Okay fine. But in motion.conf, /dev/video0 still takes primary unless I have a netcam_url specified. So what do I do for this portion of the file when the cams should be configured in thread1.conf, etc? [17:54] cypher-neo: change that password ;-) [17:55] schultza, yeah, you edit the network manager policy in /usr/share/polkit-1 [17:55] nevermind... ill be back. rebooting for ubuntu updates (cups, unity) [17:55] guntbert, lol. Yeah [17:55] There really should be a permissions application. [17:55] ferris, you should really report the segmentation faoult on launchpad. audacity shouldn't be doing that even if it has issues with your sound [17:56] I have clicked submit a report when the dialog box popped up... is that the same as using launchpad? === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [17:56] ferris, yes, do you have a link? === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [17:56] no. [17:57] i start audacity and then it gives me the report a problem... so I click submit a problem [17:57] Hello, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on notebook. If using single screen (external), I can use kaffeine. If I activate the notebook screen too, kaffeine does not work (no image, but still sound OK). This all works fine under 10.10, but 10.10 is no longer supported. I think it comes from xorg or something about the screens management... any idea please? [17:58] haven't gone into anything else [17:58] ferris, does tha bring up a browser?? [17:58] no [17:58] im back [17:59] bug 990683 [17:59] Launchpad bug 990683 in audacity (Ubuntu) "Audacity crashes when run" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/990683 [17:59] when i start it with sudo... i get a pop up that says... Audacity could not find a place to store temporary files. [17:59] Please enter an appropriate directory in the preferences dialog. [17:59] see if workaround in comment 5 on that bug fixes it [17:59] Hi, guys. Does anyone know how to configure the compression rate when create an archive? [17:59] anels: Yes, gzip has switches from -1 to -9. [18:00] then I get another dialog box... that says... [18:00] anels, gzip -# [18:00] See man gzip for details. [18:00] Do you want to report the problem now? [18:00] I click report problem... [18:00] Other compressors have simmilar params. [18:00] Thanks, how about GUI? I mean I like right-click compress [18:00] then it asks for admin pass [18:01] ferris, see if workaround in comment 5 on that bug fixes it https://launchpad.net/bugs/990683 [18:01] Launchpad bug 990683 in audacity (Ubuntu) "Audacity crashes when run" [Undecided,Confirmed] [18:01] why does the command who return 0 users? specifically the chain "who | wc -l" [18:01] does it not count myself? [18:01] ok [18:01] thanks [18:01] ferris, i have to go, but good luck [18:01] nobody? [18:01] do1080: It should. [18:01] do1080, who only counts tty's and psuedo ttys. not all terminal like applications open a tty [18:01] makes sense [18:01] thanks [18:02] do1080, guake for one doesn't although im not sure what it does if it doesnt have a tty... [18:03] appreciate the response; have a nice day [18:03] I'm trying to kill a process.. it's not dying.. sudo kill pid [18:03] I'm in the list of sudoers [18:03] try "kill -9 [pid]" [18:04] Thanks [18:04] That killed it. [18:04] What was the difference? [18:05] ubuntu 12.04 LTSP.. trying to install Firefox as local app... did chroot /opt/ltsp/i386.. apt-get update.. apt-get install firefox.. Unable to locate Firefox... what is the package name for Firefox? It used to be just "firefox" [18:05] Layke, a different signal was sent -9 is SIGHUP i believe [18:05] Layke: some programs may have NOHUP status on them which keeps them running, or there is another reason. The kill -9 forces it to close like the system is shutting down. Please read the "man kill" about it for more information. [18:05] Hello, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on notebook. If using single screen (external), I can use kaffeine. If I activate the notebook screen too, kaffeine does not work (no image, but still sound OK). This all works fine under 10.10, but 10.10 is no longer supported. I think it comes from xorg or something about the screens management... any idea please? [18:06] dlentz, it worked... thanks a lot [18:06] patc1, have you tried dual booting an install of 12.04 to see if that helps fixing the problem? [18:07] Thanks for the tip. [18:07] Layke: yw [18:07] cccangel: no. I know that it works under 10.10. What I would like to know is how to make it work under 10.04. [18:07] Please help me with applying a socks proxy system wide on Kubuntu 12.04. [18:07] cccangel: so I think it'll be OK under 12.04... but I need it to work under 10.04 [18:08] can i upgrade from lts to lts [18:08] can i go from 11.04 to 12.04 [18:08] uofm49426: there is a current problme with that from the last lts to this new one. They are frantically working on it now. [18:08] patc1, what kindof grpahics card are you on? === mike_ is now known as Guest75809 [18:09] cccangel: intel graphics I can check more in details if needed [18:09] can someone help me with an issue i seem to be having? i can get WoW to run in ubuntu but i get low FPS [18:10] so right nows i have to step to 11.10 before going to 12.04 [18:10] ? [18:11] patc1, thats all i need to know. i think your best bet is to look into https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa and see what that can offer as for a graphics update ... [18:11] uofm49426: actually, there is a problem with that too. But at this time, thats the upgrade path. [18:11] hi! i'm using 12.04 and i'm having issues with tomcat. Specifically, i have a deployed application that wants to write logs to ${catalina.home}/logs , and what that yields is an error in catalina.out which complains about ioexceptions in /usr/share/tomcat6/ . That directory contains no symlink to /var/log/tomcat6 . So i add an export for CATALINA_HOME in root's .bashrc pointing to /usr/lib/tomcat6 , but funnily enough that pr [18:11] dillon, via wine? [18:11] yessir [18:11] so, i dig up the /etc/init.d/tomcat6 file, and that declares a CATALINA_HOME at /usr/share/tomcat6 [18:11] check the appdb and /join #winehq dillon [18:11] cccangel: thank you, I'll have a look! [18:11] !appdb | dillon [18:11] dillon: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [18:12] ty sirt [18:12] which is whats breaking my application, but i need /usr/lib/tomcat6 [18:12] sirs [18:12] patc1, because 11.10 uses an updated xserver, mesa, and etc... and they backport newer versions .. [18:12] so, wtf [18:12] ubuntu, Y U BREAK MY TOMCAT? [18:12] ill just go to 11.04 till i can pick up a cdr [18:13] cccangel: but do you have an idea why it works under 10.10? I know it's not easy! ;) [18:13] furthermore, ubuntu, Y U KEEP CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE in different directories, without symlinks, and causing this kind of migration work a fucking pain in the ass? [18:14] fixtehinterwebs, no cursing here [18:14] patc1, the reason it works is because it uses a newer xserver, and xorg drivers that are stable and realized around that time period [18:14] pardon bazhang , but still, WTF? [18:15] fixtehinterwebs, stop it. [18:15] cccangel: OK I understand. Maybe I can find a way to goaround it! :) [18:15] I love ubuntu [18:15] bazhang: Do you have a minute please? [18:15] cccangel: thanks for your help. [18:15] patc1, your best bet is use bleeding edge updates for that version [18:15] Syria, ask the channel, if they know the answer someone will try [18:15] patc1, aka... the link i gave you [18:15] cccangel: yes oki, thanks! [18:16] bazhang, do you know how to view ubuntu shares? [18:16] I need to see what folders I'm sharing [18:16] bazhang: i apologize, but that doesnt make me less in need of help and less pissed off at how a distro is breaking my webapps [18:16] How can apply a socks proxy system wide please?? Kubuntu 12.04. [18:16] hairydog, samba shares? nfs? please clarify [18:16] samba [18:16] uff [18:16] hairydog, are you sharing between windows and ubuntu? [18:17] trying to [18:17] i tried this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1006820/ but I still have no bootscreen / bootsplash [18:17] I just want to see what folders I have shared so far [18:17] Hi everyone [18:17] hairydog, got the drive mounted in fstab? [18:17] not sure what fstab is [18:17] hairydog: ddid you install samba-server ? [18:17] I'm new to ubuntu [18:17] umm let me show you [18:17] !fstab | hairydog [18:17] hairydog: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [18:17] hang on 1 sec [18:18] hairydog: what's the goal here? To have shared folders on Ubuntu that Windows can access? [18:18] hairydog: samba client is already installed by default. server side is not [18:18] schultza: I've never installed samba-server, and I've always hosted shares on my ubuntu system. [18:18] If I run <<$ echo -e "foo">> I get "foo", but if I run <<$ sh -c 'echo -e "foo"'>> I get "-e foo" ---why do I get the "-e" in the second example? [18:18] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [18:18] how can I disable the boot splash to see only the text when it's booting? at least if is not working too see a text on the screen, not just a dark / blank screen [18:18] in fact, samba-server isn't even a valid package in 12.04 [18:19] gnome-session: Depends: gnome-session-bin (>= 3.2.1-0ubuntu8) but 3.2.1-0ubuntu8 is to be installed [18:19] Depends: gnome-session-common (= 3.2.1-0ubuntu8) but 3.2.1-0ubuntu8 is to be installed [18:19] I followed this guide [18:19] https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html [18:19] hi i am getting this error when installing tweak tool [18:19] roasted_: with this install of 12.04, ive had to physically installed [smb|samba]-server to get it working. [18:19] schultza: samba-server is not a valid package in ubuntu 12.04 [18:19] and yeah the goal is to have ubuntu folders that I can view from my windows machine [18:19] baazigar|rajat: Do you have PPAs installed? [18:19] E: Unable to locate package samba-server [18:19] no [18:19] byteman, compare to /bin/bash -c 'echo -e "foo"' [18:19] so far I have gotten it to where I can see my ubuntu vm, and can see the folder I shared, but when I try to open it, windows asks for authentication, I want it not to do that so I can just view the folder [18:20] well, i know i had to install some sort of server package in connection with samba to get mine to work [18:20] Hello all, i've just installed ubuntu on my desktop machine. Do you know which daemon is listening on port 53 ? [18:20] hairydog: that guide looks good. However, if you want a more "no bs" way to configure samba, check out system-config-samba... it's a small but easy to use GUI to handle those tasks. [18:20] sudo apt-get install system-config-samba ?? [18:20] hairydog: personally, when I began to tinker with samba, the config file kind of had me confused, so I would make changes in the gui and check the config file to see what the gui changed. From there, I learned much quicker. [18:20] hairydog: yes [18:20] k ty [18:20] L3tops: is there no way to solve this dependency error??? [18:20] I'll check it out [18:20] hairydog: it's also in the software center, listed as "samba", but just run that in terminal and you'll download it. [18:21] I'm falling in love with ubuntu [18:21] hairydog: it'll show up in your menu as Samba... need root to open the application. From there you can set up shares and whatnot. You'll see when you get there, but like I said, check out the smb.conf when you're done making changes. It'll help you learn. [18:21] the more I learn the more I like it [18:21] Well baazigar|rajat we must first figure out what is causing it... [18:21] byteman, i think what is happening is that in /bin/sh which is really /bin/dash "echo" is a builtin that does not understand -e [18:21] hairydog: it's a good platform. We're porting from Mac to Ubuntu here at work. [18:21] Nice [18:21] typically baazigar|rajat it is due to some errant ppa [18:21] hairydog: just keep your resources in mind... ubuntuforums, this IRC channel, etc. [18:22] byteman, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dash/+bug/259671 [18:22] Launchpad bug 259671 in dash (Ubuntu) "dash: echo builtin interprets backslash escape sequences" [Undecided,Confirmed] [18:22] dio porco [18:22] I installed a osx lion theme and it makes ubuntu look so good :P [18:22] L3tops : i installed gimp then this error came [18:22] how to install tar.bz2 archive in Ubuntu? [18:22] my next project is getting my top of the line games working with codeweaver's version of wine.. forgot its name at the moment. [18:22] the only reason I won't install ubuntu as my primary os is because I game a lot on pc [18:22] hairydog: nice. I think it looks pretty good by default anyway :P [18:22] if I wasn't a gamer, I wouldn't need windows for anything [18:22] hairydog: same here [18:23] if i can fix that, id go linux all the time [18:23] baazigar|rajat: what version of gimp? [18:23] I wish the way the dash is clear was the whole window theme and stuff [18:23] if they did that I would love the default ubuntu theme [18:23] latest, i downloaded it 3 days ago [18:23] did you know that other gamers told me to get a gaming console to fix that need for windows. :) dont they know the games im after are not on the console [18:24] baazigar|rajat: apt-cache policy gimp | grep Installed [18:24] I just don't like console lol. I play bf3 and cod and stuff but don't like controllers, I prefer mouse and keyboard + the pc gaming community is much better than the 12 year olds on xbox live [18:24] Someone can help me with ubuntu caching ip addresses ? I can't force my desktop ubuntu to refresh its cache [18:24] me neither. im so used to the keyboard/mouse gaming i cant go console without slowing waaaay down [18:24] I wish they would make games work for ubuntu though [18:24] escott / ubottu : thanks! [18:24] any good mmos that work on ubuntu? [18:25] vekexasia, hairydog lets get on topic please [18:25] hairydog: it's all about the game maker. Ubuntu itself is a good gaming platform.... but you need games... whcih game makers aren't caving to just yet. [18:25] L3tops : I removed it then, Installed: (none) [18:25] hairydog: ive asked the gaming companies... their excuse, not enough demand [18:25] hello all [18:25] I am still on jaunty [18:25] bazhang: ??? [18:25] and need to install this: libmysqlclient15-dev [18:25] jaunty!?!?! [18:25] whoops sorry vekexasia thats for schultza [18:25] but, when I try "sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev" [18:25] bartj: please do not use enter as punctuation [18:25] nevermind bazhang, :) Can you help me with my little problem?

[18:26] !enter | bartj [18:26] i get 404 for a lot of the repositories, how do i fix this ? [18:26] bartj: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [18:26] how did you install it baazigar|rajat? [18:26] povoacao, you need to reinstall [18:26] povoacao, not possible. reinstall to change arch [18:26] L3tops : through software-center [18:26] So game makers won't make games for Ubuntu ? Is that just because it's open source and free or what? [18:27] and bazhang this is Ubuntu support, I'm asking questions related to Ubuntu and game support :P [18:27] hairydog, thats outside the support topic here [18:27] not uh! [18:27] baazigar|rajat: have you done an apt-get update lately? [18:27] bartj: jaunty is no longer supported, you will need to upgrade to a newer version [18:27] it says ubuntu support, that is technically ubuntu support [18:27] hairydog, they are coming around slowly, but it always seems a couple years out [18:27] resintall ? is it not enough to recompile the kernel and install the required libraries ? only reinstalling... [18:27] baazigar|rajat: sudo apt-get update [18:27] Hello guys, I don't want to sound annoying but I've an issue. I can't refresh the ip address of a website. dig always query localhost for the dns but I don't have any dns installed. Any idea ? [18:27] hairydog, no it's not. lets move on [18:27] L3tops : i did it an hour ago [18:27] hairydog: beware of bazhang. He holds the magical ban hammer. [18:27] !topic [18:27] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information.

Hey just cause I ask about games because I'm a gamer and want to game on Ubuntu doesn't make it any less important than anyone else's questions you're just being hitler. [18:28] or go from the sources. id recommend a ubuntu upgrade (install from disk) option though [18:28] you will not get supported updates without doing everything yourself [18:28] hairydog: I'd drop it bro... he holds the ban hammer. [18:28] sigh... [18:28] roasted_, lets move on [18:28] color me surprised [18:29] L3tops : can you help or should i reinstall ubuntu ??? [18:29] schultza, i tried googling a bit but couldn't find the sources for libmysqlclient15-dev [18:29] sorry guys, i helped the gaming topic along [18:29] Hello guys, I don't want to sound annoying but I've an issue. I can't refresh the ip address of a website. dig always query localhost for the dns but I don't have any dns installed. Any idea ? [18:29] We can figure it out... a reinstall is a drastic step baazigar|rajat. What were you trying to install to begin with that gave you the depend error [18:29] Question - any Motion users here? I'm trying to set up multiple network cameras, but I'm having an issue with the config file. I understand I am to use the thread.conf files for individual cameras, but what about the motion.conf where /dev/video0 takes priority? [18:29] jerk. [18:29] L3tops : Advanced setting [18:30] roasted_, im curious what this "motion" project is [18:30] L3tops : Tweak advanced gnome 3 settings [18:30] is there a live cd tool that can examine the mbr on a disk and say that it has been corrupted beyone repair? [18:30] escott: it's a motion detection software for Linux... uses your webcam by default, or you can set up network cameras. [18:30] hello does anyone know the command to run the add printer wizard [18:30] escott: I can set share paths in the config and itll save the images/video stream to that location whenever something moves across the camera field of view. [18:30] baazigar|rajat: have you run an apt-get upgrade? [18:31] baazigar|rajat: sudo [18:31] im trying to run it though ssh need the command [18:31] bazhang, how about instead of kicking me, you could direct me to a channel where I CAN talk about gaming on Ubuntu? [18:31] L3tops : yes sudo apt-get update, not upgrade [18:31] hairy-dog: #ubuntu-offtopic [18:31] roasted_, ok. i was wondering if it was some open source attempt at something like kinect [18:31] hairy-dog, #ubuntu-offtopic [18:31] what is pacakge name of sun java in ubuntu ? [18:31] thank you roasted_ [18:31] baazigar|rajat: I am confused at the error, because they both appear to want and not be installed because of the same version... please sudo apt-get upgrade and try again [18:31] no openjdk [18:32] escott: not necessarily. Its appealing to me because ZoneMinder has been giving me some issues with my higher resolution surveillance cameras... so I wanted to try Motion, which users have been praising, but I just can't find much info on the subject. [18:32] escott: I can figure out how to get 1 camera to work in the config, but once I introduce other cameras and have to split my configs in the thread1.conf thread2.conf etc files, I lose it. [18:33] roasted_, i've never heard of the project i was just curious what it is [18:33] sweb1, sun java can no longer be distributed by canonical per instructions from oracle [18:33] escott: sounds good. :) [18:33] L3tops : how much time will it take ? on 256 kbps net speed? [18:34] if I use make x86_64_defconfig in my 32 bits ubuntu, my new kernel will support 64 bit hardware ? [18:34] escott: for any distrubtion of linux ? or just ubuntu ? [18:34] povoacao, you have to reinstall to change arch [18:34] povoacao, its not supported. your userspace including glibc would still be 32bit [18:34] What's a genius? [18:35] I heard it was a male with an oversized penis [18:35] sweb1: to my knowledge sun-java it is still in the repo [18:35] BrainFrosty, related to ubuntu? [18:35] sweb1, i believe it was for everyone [18:35] no in general [18:35] baazigar|rajat: I cannot know that. Go ahead and run it, and it will tell you the amount of megs that will need to be downloaded [18:35] L3tops : around 1 GB of upgrades, it will take a lot of time. [18:35] BrainFrosty, wrong channel. stop it [18:35] how do I take a screenshot in ubuntu? [18:35] alright fine [18:35] hairy-dog: download shutter [18:36] L3tops : i ran it [18:36] package name : kurtwp_ [18:36] ? [18:36] baazigar|rajat: perhaps a better answer is... less time than a backup/reinstall/restore? [18:36] sweb1, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/java-to-be-removed-from-ubuntu-uninstalled-from-user-machines/ [18:36] kurtwp_: there is no default solution? [18:36] I will be around baazigar|rajat. [18:36] sweb1: do a apt-cache search sun | more [18:36] see what you see [18:36] L3tops : ok [18:36] schultza: for what [18:36] kurtwp_: for the screen capture [18:37] schultza: correct so let me re-phrase I recommend shutter for a screen cap utility [18:37] kurtwp_, sudo apt-get install shutter? [18:37] hairy-dog: do a apt-cache search shutter to make sure [18:38] i just did.. shutter is a package [18:41] is possible to install with the DVD ubuntu 64 bit without loose my data on my 32 bit ubuntu ? [18:41] povoacao, just backup your /home and the user data should be safe [18:41] povoacao, got a /home partition thats separate? [18:41] my /home partition is cripted [18:42] povoacao, that shouldnt be a problem as long as you backup all of /home [18:42] all other filesystems is under / [18:42] your home dir is encrypted. but while you are in it.. it's available to you, right === Myr is now known as Koffiepot === Koffiepot is now known as Myr [18:42] povoacao: back it up anyways [18:42] I would like to preserve the applications too [18:43] a lot of applications... [18:43] not sure how you would be able to preserve the apps [18:43] !clone | povoacao [18:43] povoacao: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate [18:43] Hi all [18:43] hi [18:43] Wizard: found another app horribly painful to use in Unity - GIMP. Having menu along top of each window is really useful. going to top of screen and trying to figure out which window is being referenced, not so much [18:43] povoacao, when you backup the encrypted /home you should do so from a livecd so as to avoid issues with having the ecryptfs mounted on top of /home/username [18:44] Wizard: actually, that one I think is enough to drive me back to gnome3 or anything else [18:44] I have just installed ubuntu 11.04 , installed some softwares, and restarted, but now it freezes on the purple loading screen? what should I do? [18:44] Wizard: well. that on top of the other problems.

I am trying to learn more about the Linux operating system and I thought it would be good to know how to erase the registry so that no one can see stuff? [20:10] The windows registry. No, ubuntu won't clear that [20:10] BlueWolf, mbr ? [20:11] sudo update-grub or sudo update-grub2? is there a difference? [20:11] BlueWolf: there is no registry like in windows in ubuntu. Ubuntu has a collection of config files throughout the whole computer though. [20:11] [20:11] Aprel: Ya a windows one. [20:11] schultza: Is that cleared when one reinstall Ubuntu with Ubuntu or Windows? [20:12] BlueWolf: your nick was my nick name ten years ago :D [20:12] BlueWolf: Only a windows reinstall will clear the windows registry. Or edit the registry manually [20:12] BlueWolf: in order to clear out the history, you will have to delete all partitions and start fresh. But keep in mind the hard drive keeps the last 7 bits per bit.. so it's still possible to get that information. [20:13] BlueWolf: Though many "registry errors" reported by those "free-scan" online programs are just cons to get you to install tehir software [20:13] [20:13] unkn-error: Funny, Mine now :D [20:13] Aprel, there is also the Win PE that can be used for offline registery edits... [20:13] BlueWolf: i dont mean to make you paranoid, but most hard drives are magnetic and will retain prior information. [20:13] unkn-error: yes, there is a big difference, you probably want sudo update-grub [20:14] schultza, Aprel: So is it possible for an experienced Hacker to recover sensitive information? [20:14] schultza, lol... is that why some people will download programs to format their hd like 10 times with different methods? [20:15] BlueWolf: most companies that have what they consider top secret (not to be released to the world) will first do a DoD-7 level wipe and then destroy the hard drive physically. [20:15] BlueWolf: yeah, if they have access to your hard drive. There are tools that can help ""permanently"" delete your data in Ubuntu [20:15] BlueWolf, yes. an experienced person can use fragmented data left in sectors on your harddrive to compose complete file headers then restore files. [20:15] BlueWolf: If I will gonna take your hardisk from your computer and run a data recovery software I will gonna see all the "pictures, banners" etc. from the site you visited [20:15] or if they are keeping it.. keep it on top secret level and just dod-7 wipe [20:15] whats the propper way to unmount a a harddrive in ubuntu sudo unmount /dev/sda2 [20:16] BlueWolf: but if the hardisk is encrypted then I would not have a chance [20:16] I need Yahoo messenger with support webcam and voice .

[20:16] alright [20:17] escott: udisks? [20:17] schultza, the backend that nautilus uses [20:17] I say "help" delete because some organizations like the NSA only recommend phyiscal destruction of the drive to wipe it clean [20:17] Aprel, BlueWolf , there is a program i stumbled into that can encrypt your harddrive with multiple layers... [20:17] but its a pain to set up [20:17] BlueWolf: you may wish to "wipe" a hardisk, one pass is just enough - really, you will not need gutmann or etc. for home usage, and on a 74-80 gb hdd will gonna take about 2-3 or 4 hours depending by the controler [20:17] i want to remove these from jockey 'nvidia binary xorg driver, module kernal and VDPAU libarary' [20:17] Aprel: that's the 3rd stage in a 7-run wipe (DoD-7) [20:18] ccangel: truecrypt? [20:18] Aprel, yes thats the one [20:18] i want to remove these from jockey 'nvidia binary xorg driver, module kernal and VDPAU libarary' [20:18] tryecrypt is very nice, if you will not encrypt the whole hardisk [20:18] schultza: I once Zeroed my hard disk, sorry don't know what the name is but it wipe everything off better that formating. Dose that delete all the information or can it still be salvaged? [20:19] schultza: you mean they recommend certain steps before incineration of the drive? lol, what do they think can be recovered from an incinerated drive? [20:19] I currently speak with you guy's from a Sandboxed Brownser which resides in a Tryecrypt container [20:19] Quick question: does anyone know any good sites for Ubuntu specific C++ programming so I can start programming applications for Ubuntu? [20:20] unkn-error, lol... i couldnt ever sit through the process of setting truecrypt up. too lengthy [20:20] BlueWolf: zeroing out completely an hdd probably makes it unrecoverable to most hackers.

(the same exact packages/configuration/everything that runs on this machine) [21:21] hello [21:21] !clone| nimei [21:21] nimei: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate [21:21] /dev/disk/by-id [21:22] nimei: the !clone factoid looks after package installation, but you'd need to copy configs separately [21:22] MonkeyDust: would that also replicate all the configuration and user folders ($HOME)? Is it enough to just copy it verbatim? [21:22] why does my brightness bar have only 6 phases? during restart it has more phases but when entering ubuntu, there are only 6. under 10.04 I had more options... [21:22] MonkeyDust, zykotick9, good, thanks. :) [21:23] nimei: if you want a exact clone, you can use clonezilla. or get fancy with dd [21:23] nimei: but if the pcs are going to be on the same lan you would need to change hostnames and so foth [21:23] zykotick9: thanks for the hint about the UUID. I was searching on the wrong end. I now changed my ZFS configuration to use /dev/disk/by-id/ instead of just /dev [21:23] nimei and don't forget to backup personal documents [21:23] Dr_Willis: yes. they are on the same LAN. 'dd' seems an interesting option. [21:25] nimei: if to more then 1 pc.. clonezilla is an amazeing tool [21:25] even for one pc to antoerh pc.. its very handy [21:25] Dr_Willis: would grub work after 'dd'? I mean, probably different disk ids or such stuff. [21:25] nimei: the uuids would be the same. [21:26] nimei: if the HDs are differnt sizes you would need to fix that also. [21:26] nimei, dd is low level so you can capture everything, but that raises the question why would you want to capture everything. [21:26] How much disk space does the default ubuntu pool take up [21:26] dd even copies the empty space. ;) [21:26] Oh. [21:26] dd most likely copies dark matter btween the hd tracks.. ;P [21:26] Well, since that will take forever I think I'll probably try clonezilla first or the factoid. [21:27] Thanks to everyone for the hints. :) [21:27] I just boot a livecd with both drives on the computer and copy paste XD [21:27] no one encountered this?? [21:27] Sargun-Work, depends on how much you install 10-20Gigs is sufficient for a fully loaded desktop [21:28] But clonezilla is good too mainly for copying disks when theyre dying or ur attempting file recovery [21:28] ohad, you can dig around with acpi stuff in /sys [21:29] I want to change the increments for each click on the Fn+brightness button [21:32] Hey guys.

Does anyone know how to tune the Samba server in Ubuntu to make a folder with 30000 files faster over the network? Actually, the issue is this: If I mount the SMB sharepoint and view it in a terminal and just type "ls", I get a super fast listing of all files. The issue is that Mac OS X does the equivalent of ls -l, by requesting attributes and modification times for every freaking file. [21:54] The result is that it takes like half an hour to open the folder.

[22:15] linux4u, i dont think so, but you could also try !minimal and install the ubuntu-server target [22:16] Frank-N-Steen, when trying to grub-install it complains: bad boot flag | Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.. | will not proceed with blocklist [22:16] escott, should i try a different version of git? [22:16] prodigel: The starting sector for sda7 is 2,941,963,786 but your drive only has 976,773,168 sectors. [22:16] arooni-mobile, i dont know how you would but sure [22:17] escott, so the default server iso should allow me to do software raid? [22:17] Jordan_U, the windows partition manager probably f**ed it up. I saw something strange looking there, but I continued on it, as I couldn't do more about it [22:17] linux4u, is the server iso otherwise a normal debian installer? [22:17] prodigel: Please watch your language, obfuscated or otherwise, [22:18] Jordan_U, sorry about that [22:18] hi all i need help on wifi on ubuntu 12.04 [22:19] prodigel, something is amiss Jordan_U is your best contact at this point. [22:19] hi zaki [22:19] hi nodestool [22:19] better than me anyway, lol [22:19] prodigel: Try the utility "fixparts". It's good at figuring out how things actually should be. If it can't get you to a state where all your partitions are readable try testdisk as well (which can search your drive to find where filesystems start/end and create a new partition table based on that information). [22:19] zaki: what is your question [22:19] clear [22:20] Hi all. I'm trying to connect to a Netgear Wifi Range Extender that I bought, but it keeps giving me an error.

[23:11] i dont know... im thinking about chaning out my distro primary... i have a headache.

Apart from updating chromium and flash anything else done? [23:16] nulldev, no im just starting to look into the issue and wondered if it was know.. haven't seen anything on the boards... will continue to test to see which one is the culprit [23:16] cccangel if your having problems with gfx in a vm most likely something thats not possible in a vm they can only emulate gfx cards to a certain extent [23:17] Hello, I am using version 12.04.

To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [23:32] gnome3 has been great... before 12.04 it had problems allowing other apps go full screen as its top bar was on screen but i haven't had any problems with it with the fresh 12.04 build [23:34] also love how gnome3 just gets out of the way with the top left and bottom right hover menus [23:35] really not loking forward to the forced gnome3 [23:35] Gnome3 needs a SSD [23:35] only used it on a fedora livecd to be fair but I dont like change [23:35] If I installed ubuntu on a usb flash drive with something like UNetBootin and I changed the settings, they would persist, right?

Is there anything I can do? Some graphics are missing and my mouse won't move. [23:39] OerHeks, why does gnome3 need a ssd [23:40] ccccc not 100% but for the proxy maybe [23:40] fast accestime to systemfiles, it really boost performance [23:41] funkyHat? [23:41] golfik467: hi [23:41] OerHeks, how does gnome3 compare to unity without ssd? [23:42] golfik467: It sounds like your hardware just doesn't work with Syslinux for some reason. Have you tested the USB you created on another machine to confirm that it was at least created properly? [23:42] yes i did [23:42] it worked perfectly [23:42] Jordan_U: it's a samsung nc-110 which apparently has UEFI, and he wants to dual boot with Windows [23:42] ccccc lol sorry misread thought you said ssid not solid state [23:42] just like it suposed to do [23:42] ssid* [23:43] So I don't know if switching on bios compatibility mode will break Windows somehow... [23:43] said* [23:43] golfik467: When it failed, you did at least see some message indicating that Syslinux had started, correct? [23:43] no, it just reeboted it over and over again [23:44] funkyhat bios changes shouldnt break windows but microsoft break it enough for anything else to I guess [23:44] but reebot was while the prompt from linux was shown [23:45] reboot* [23:45] sry for mistakes my eng is poor :/ [23:45] and it's amost 2 am here :P [23:45] golfik467: In #ubutnu-offtopic you said "got SYSLINUX 3.82 2009-06-09 EBIOS Copyright... and that was what i saw before it rebooted" That is enough to tell me that Syslinux at least started. [23:46] golfik467 my English is poor to so dont worry about it I am English too lol [23:46] and it did every time, but after this message it just reeboted [23:46] funkyHat: Since golfik467 is seeing some output form Syslinux, which doesn't support UEFI, I don't think disabling UEFI is needed or would be helpful. [23:47] golfik467: I recommend trying to make a USB with grub instead of Syslinux in case grub happens to not have the same problem with your hardware that Syslinux does. [23:47] so how do i do that? === Ttech is now known as cowmoo [23:48] Jordan_U how do you work that out? === tx is now known as Guest26985 === cowmoo is now known as Ttech [23:48] funkyHat: Since golfik467 is seeing some output form Syslinux, which doesn't support UEFI, I don't think disabling UEFI is needed or would be helpful if it dont support it could be the service thats running causing the issue crashing a loop maybe [23:48] golfik467: What version of Ubuntu is on the iso, and what version of Ubuntu are you using to create the USB?

I would put it in a directory called "boot-isos" but you can put the file anywhere. [23:51] that is just one example [23:51] kdlslsll: have you recently run updates? [23:51] yes [23:51] kdlslsll rkhunter usually warns of hidden files only because they are hidden. So some hidden files in /home can be flagged as dodgy i.e flash [23:51] k. wait asec [23:52] jorda ca u give ma a PM? [23:52] ok i c [23:52] i woud be easier [23:52] ?

You can use "/lastlog golfik467" in your IRC client to show all of the messages which have been sent to or from you. If you'd still prefer PM though then just PM me. [23:53] also rkhunter doesent detect updates so unless you give it the update packages switch it will warn on newer versions that are legit [23:53] no a problem [23:53] ive got warnings for most file properties checks eg /usr/sbin/adduser [23:53] but I'll to browse alittle bit :P [23:54] should I format drive first and put it as default? [23:54] how do i update rkhunter to sync with current file properties (legit ones) [23:54] kdlslsll but you cant unless you know a Linux box in and out work out wether they are legitanite warnings or not to worry about [23:54] i meant as bootable device [23:55] as i said poor english :P [23:55] oh i c [23:55] like I said above it gives alot of false positives [23:55] ok thanks [23:55] golfik467: There is no need to format the drive. You can either set it as the default boot defice or use your machines one-time boot selection menu, whichever you prefer.
