[00:00] ninux your syntax [00:00] ninux incorrect for one cat -- >> [00:00] Should I choose 32-bit or 64-bit ubuntu for the usb drive installation? [00:00] done [00:00] I'ts copied [00:00] ninux: you could follow that with an & and it will be backgrounded [00:00] could someone nudge me in the right direction for help? My ubuntu server is often the target of DDoS attacks and I've been trying to use tcpdump to determine where the source of the attacks are coming from but it's not going too well for me. [00:01] ISO with no extraction [00:01] nulldev: could you tell me the right command ? [00:02] L3tops: you mean to add "&" to my command and thats it? [00:02] ninux what is you want to do, and why does it require the redirection of tty1 [00:02] Jordan do u need windows cofiguration? [00:03] ninux: tee is probably what you are looking for anyway [00:03] i have a small ARM server (hacked seagate dockstar) and just a ethernet and som USB port. i want to add a display and need tty over USB-Serial to a microchip [00:03] ninux you cant tail off tty* [00:03] ninux: /join #bash [00:04] golfik467: Are you currently booted into Windows or Ubuntu? If you're booted into Windows then please reboot (or change computers) so that you can work from an Ubuntu system. [00:04] ninux so thats wherwe its failing [00:04] golfik467: And please include my nick in your replies so that my client will highlight them. [00:05] as I said I'm using IRC for first time [00:05] Sry for inconvinience [00:06] both my computer ran on windows [00:06] sry, are running on windows [00:07] L3tops: from man tee "tee - read from std input n write to std output" but i have to copy the tty1 output to usb. so tee wont work or am i wrong? [00:07] http://de.twitch.tv/playx83 who wants play with me? ;-) [00:07] Jordan_U: both are running on windows [00:08] If I had a 64-bit version of ubuntu, would it run on a 32-bit processor? [00:08] where are the ubuntu wallpapers stored in my machine? [00:08] golfik467: Please boot your other computer into Ubuntu via the liveUSB then come back here. [00:08] k [00:08] Jordan_U: k [00:09] ninux: read your sentence back... " write to std output but i have to copy the tty1 output to usb" you want to tee the output to USB... again though... you need to join #bash... this is not an ubuntu issue. [00:09] Jordan_U: brb [00:09] golfik467: We should be able to switch it from booting via Syslinux to booting via grub from within the LiveUSB session itself. [00:09] cockatrice, maybe not. [00:09] could someone nudge me in the right direction for help? My ubuntu server is often the target of DDoS attacks and I've been trying to use tcpdump to determine where the source of the attacks are coming from but it's not going too well for me. [00:09] ninux what is you need to get from tty1? [00:09] not themes, but wallpapers [00:09] OerHeks: so it's safer to just install the 32-bit version of Ubuntu if I want it to run on all modern computers? [00:09] ninux you might be able to get it from a log === diddledan is now known as zz_diddledan [00:10] cockatrice, yes, that would do on every machine. [00:10] PlayX: This channel is for Ubuntu support related discussion only, please don't make offtopic comments here (especially ones containing links making them look like spam). [00:10] OerHeks: Thanks! [00:10] xomp: might want to see if #ubuntu-hardened can help you out [00:10] thanks IdleOne [00:11] xomp: or #ubuntu-server [00:12] xomp ddod are exactly what they say distributed so hard to pinpoint and block [00:12] nulldev: actually i want to write a log on this road: tty* -> usb to serial -> microchip -> display [00:12] i'll try it at #bash [00:12] ddos* [00:12] nulldev, I've noticed the majority of attacks are icmp floods which wireshark can sort and I can drop the traffic via iptables [00:13] xomp yeah you can filter by packet but not from source [00:14] yeah, I had my own server show up as the source and that's why I'm curious to find a way since I don't want to drop packets from my own box hehe === skynet is now known as Guest43537 [00:16] xomp ddos comes from to many sources unfortunately unless someone else more network orientated corrects me [00:16] http://forum.ubuntu-fi.org/index.php?topic=42757.msg328857#msg328857 [00:17] nulldev, I see, I guess there is no use in trying to mitigate such attacks outside of asking my provider to null the route for 24 hours? [00:17] how i uninstall all vmware files, ubuntu 10.04 [00:18] xomp worth speaking with your host they can usually filter some out just not [00:18] all [00:18] suo [00:18] my server is with Linode, they don't really offer any help at all and instead threaten to blacklist you from their services should any attacks you have impact their network too much. [00:19] Hi everyone, does anybody know if it is possible to watch Netflix on Ubuntu at all? [00:19] flametai1: netflix has a plugin for firefox that works [00:19] nikama: seen this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server#Uninstalling_Source_Installs [00:20] GeekSquid, it is called Moonlight correct? [00:20] I really enjoy Linode and all and would hate to lose them as a host but if these attacks continue (which they likely will) I'll be ousted and left with over crowded providers to choose from :/ [00:20] yes [00:20] xomp if your on self managed servers thats the way it is [00:20] After I have my server install all set up then in order to have others use my server I need a DNS server? Or can they just point to my IP? [00:20] Thanks yeats!!! [00:21] flametai1: yep [00:21] GeekSquid, I installed it but it still just gives me the requirement screen? [00:22] nulldev, thanks for your help, I'll just ride this all out and hope for the best lol [00:22] cerrdor as long as the zone entries are pesent on your server then all they need to do is point the ns to your ip [00:23] xomp ok , good luck [00:23] Hey! I logged in this evening and the right side of my top panel (in gnome classic), with among many other things, system settings, shut down button, et cetera, has disappeared... I was stupid enough to exit the error message without checking... any ideas? [00:25] Has anyone had trouble getting the moonlight plugin to work for netflix on Ubuntu 12.04? I can't watch anything it still gives me the requirements screen =/ [00:25] any conky freaks here? [00:25] flametai1: from what I am reading DRM comes into play which makes it difficult to watch protected media... It is coming, but we have to be patient... Couple of things you can do... Run a virtual machine of windows, or android to allow playback via the native tools there [00:26] lametail I personally use netflix and the fact it flags it works on android, looks to me like the dev need to adjust there check var as it aint looking for inux [00:27] *Linux [00:27] Okay good to know thank you GeekSquid and nulldev [00:27] anyone help me with a conky issue? [00:28] sirriffsalot: try alt+F2 [00:28] nulldev: where would I check for those? [00:29] Cerrdor: ok? then what?:P [00:29] cerrdor not sure with ubuntu as Im red hat based [00:29] sirriffsalot that should bring back your menus [00:30] yes same problem here i just installed moonlight and its not working for netflix [00:30] Cerrdor: Brought fourth a "run" window... nothing else:/ [00:32] wierd [00:32] cerrdor do a updatedb && locate named.* or updatedb && locate bind9 [00:32] greenwolf: moonlight doesn't work for Netflix because it doesn't support DRM [00:32] sirriffsalot try sudo killall gnome-panel [00:32] should force a restart [00:33] anyone know why alt-tab doesnt work in ubuntu ? [00:33] greenwolf: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/1488/is-there-a-way-to-stream-netflix and the links therein for details [00:33] sam1967: it does work, in general -- what desktop environment and Ubuntu version are you using, and is this a VM? [00:33] ok thanks eliahkagan [00:34] i will check that out [00:34] its not a vm. im using 12.04 with gnome classic [00:34] does the current release of ubuntu support uefi? [00:34] greenwolf: i think at some point maybe silverlight was going to work in Chrome (proprietary Chrome, not foss Chromium); besides that, if you have a copy of Windows, you can make a virtual machine and access Netflix inside that [00:35] lcc: yes it's still supported, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting [00:36] Im not an android user so why doesent something that works on android not work on a desktop [00:36] ok so really the only way to view it is thru a vmaware or virtual box? [00:36] sam1967: i don't know why that's not working, unless you've edited your shortcut key combinations and overloaded Alt+Tab [00:36] thru windows on that [00:37] greenwolf: or other virtualization software (you can run windows on qemu too, for instance) [00:37] is it google proprietary? [00:37] Cerrdor: nope, reset back to how it was... still can't see it=( [00:37] So I installed ubuntu 12.04 server edition on one of my servers on my cluster for testing and mpd keeps throwing "handle_mpd_output 420): from mpd on $HOSTNAME, invalid port info: no_port" any ideas? [00:37] nulldev: i think Microsoft supports the Android platform [00:38] but Google Chrome might support Netflix [00:38] EliahKagan: not to familiar with qemu what is it? [00:38] so i think that's worth trying [00:38] sirriffsalot have you tried logging out then back in? [00:38] Cerrdor: hehe, yep... [00:38] it's another FOSS virtualization solution [00:38] nice [00:38] wierd [00:38] EliahKagan: so if I get a laptop with uefi firmware I can boot an ubuntu cd and install it, or is it a more complicated process? I'm reading the docs... [00:38] hit alt+F2 and type gnome-panel [00:39] lcc: i don't think you should have any problems [00:39] lcc, there are lots of growing pains. worst case you are going to have to play around with grub-efi and bootloaders. save 1MB of free space on your disk somewhere in case you need to switch to a bios emulated boot [00:39] greenwolf: see http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qemu [00:39] eliahkagan really m$ supporting google? [00:39] brb need to load up VM [00:41] nulldev: no, it seems that Netflix supports Android as a special case (not using Silverlight), see https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient [00:42] i would hope Microsoft would support Android to help Silverlight compete against Flash, but i guess not [00:42] according to Wikipedia, Silverlight 4 supports Chrome [00:42] Ok back [00:43] nulldev you still around? === Leonardo_ is now known as Azize [00:43] so you might try that: https://www.google.com/chrome/ [00:43] Hey ubuntu I want to customize my windows and nautilus color themes and whatnot what can I use to tweak such settings? [00:44] cerrdor I am but under influence og ganja and alcohol [00:44] of* [00:45] Google Chrome installation on Ubuntu is simple and should not be hindered significantly by those chemicals ;-) [00:46] EliahKagan, lol [00:46] you can download the Google Chrome deb file directly from the website [00:46] So I installed ubuntu 12.04 server edition on one of my servers on my cluster for testing and mpd keeps throwing "handle_mpd_output 420): from mpd on $HOSTNAME, invalid port info: no_port" any ideas? [00:46] and install it with the command sudo dpkg -i chrome*.deb [00:47] or just double click on it and it will open to install with the Software Center (or with gdebi, if you are running an Ubuntu variant without the Software Center) [00:47] Studious, is there a .conf file somewhere you need to edit? [00:48] Anyone...? [00:48] studious if that command ever fails because theres no chrome* in the dir [00:48] open terminal [00:48] then change to the directory where your download file is [00:48] Hey with compiz-effects what should I look out for when tweaking my system to not mess anything up? [00:48] people copying and pasting from google you will breaak your box one day [00:49] so what you can type is: cd ~/Download or cd ~/download [00:49] nulldev: the download link i pasted for Google Chrome isn't a google search result, it's the official dowload page for Chrome [00:49] then do ls *deb which will list all deb files in the directory [00:49] since Chrome is a Google product [00:49] Dr_Willis, what ubuntu comes after 12.04 === wilee-nilee is now known as baconhead [00:50] nulldev: did you download it? [00:50] if so, you have to go to wherever you downloaded it [00:50] studious install it with dpkg -i full path never give noobs wild cards [00:50] (or specify that in the path) [00:50] what version of ubuntu is after 12.04 [00:51] Harris: 12.04 LTS will be followed by 12.10 [00:51] Ive seen alot of noobs wipe most there system out using wild cards [00:51] the code name for 12.10 will be Quantal Quetzal [00:51] you can already start testing it but there are not many changes yet, besides the compiler and toolchain [00:51] hello folks...the laptop is connected to a power source but battery state is not showing as charging...any known bugs regarding this ? [00:51] what will be new in ubuntu 12.10 EliahKagan [00:53] eliahkagan I wont let Chrome on my box [00:53] nulldev: gotcha, i didn't know if you were trying to install or not [00:54] Harris: like every new Ubuntu release, Quantal will have new versions of all the software officially packaged for it....besides that, to be specific, here are some planned changes: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/next-ubuntu-q-to-bring-font-icon-quantum-openstack-service-to-linux/10813 [00:54] eliahkagan what worries me is that chromium fails to start if no RW on /dev/shm [00:54] it's pretty preliminary so far, as Precise was just recently released [00:55] So I installed ubuntu 12.04 server edition on one of my servers on my cluster for testing and mpd keeps throwing "handle_mpd_output 420): from mpd on $HOSTNAME, invalid port info: no_port" any ideas? [00:55] does anyone know what the game is called where animated characters look like bobble heads and they appear on a ski lift and you have 100 seconds to guess who they are [00:55] the maker starts with an n [00:56] Harris: Try #ubuntu-offtopic. [00:56] bronzeeagle not familar with your setup but sounds like your config is wrong === headyadmin_ is now known as headyadmin [00:57] nulldev: Well I my master node and node-1 are running Debian 6.0.4 and I've done the exact same thing with the ubuntu serv. [00:58] s/I my/my/ [00:58] how d i run imovie in ubuntu for free [00:58] nulldev, why does /dev/shm worry you? [00:59] how d i run imovie in ubuntu for free [00:59] bronzeeagle where does it get the port from when run? Is it manually inputted, is the destination port open on the destinaton server? [00:59] EliahKagan, how d i run imovie in ubuntu for free [01:00] Harris: stop repeating yourself. If someone knows you'll get an answer [01:00] escott nothing apart from everythin else that uses it works fine apart from chromium when I set it to RO [01:01] nulldev: It's not manual and yes [01:02] schnuffle, stop being rude [01:02] bronzeeagle can you pastebin the config? [01:03] nulldev: sure one sec [01:04] Harris: you don't -- iMovie only runs on Mac OS X, Mac OS, and iOS [01:05] Ubuntu doesn't have a way to run programs for any of those platforms (except with virtualization/emulation, which is nontrivial and undesirable for high-end applications like serious use of iMovie) [01:05] guys anyone use vmbuilder here? [01:05] eliahkagan does it run on bsd then? [01:05] EliahKagan, i have to make a slideshow for my class [01:05] as a separate issue, iMovie is proprietary payware, so the part where you get it (unless you already have it) would probably not be free [01:05] if your BSD system is Mac OS X yes, but otherwise, no [01:05] so no [01:06] Elchzard, this is kinda off topic but Ubuntu tv is moving right along (I dont know what Imovie is thou ) [01:07] I love Unix because it inspired Linux but also hate it for its propriety ness [01:07] Deep6: Haven't used but sounds interessting. Up to now I used lxc to create chroot test envs [01:07] nulldev: the only line in the conf file is "secretword=mysecretword" [01:07] yeah, unfortunately not -- if you have the source for a Mac OS X app that uses the Cocoa framework, and are skilled and willing to do a little work, you may be able to port it to gnustep which will run on Ubuntu, but there is no framework in Ubuntu or any BSD or Linux based OS (besides Mac OS X itself) that will run Mac OS X and iOS apps [01:08] well currently Unix is technically just a label that applies to OSes that get certified by the Open Group -- this can be FOSS or proprietary OSes [01:08] bronzeeagle could be an auth failure can you manually connect using the creds the scripot uses? [01:08] schnuffle: check it out vmbuilder is a hypervisor abstraction script [01:08] quite cool [01:08] if I can get it to work [01:09] Deep6: where is your problem? [01:09] the oldest Unix-like OSes that are still used regularly for general purpose applications are FOSS, they are the *BSD operating systems [01:10] eliahkagan arent aix or hpaix still going I never kow the exact name [01:10] (and Solaris, which isn't FOSS since Oracle sunset OpenSolaris but OpenIndiana is equivalent) [01:10] schnuffle: I managed to figure it out now-ish....but i'll have to wait to understand if it'll happen again === fOnixs_n4 is now known as Onixs_n4f [01:10] nulldev: yeah, Aix is still going strong, though doesn't have nearly as much market penetration [01:10] and is mainly used for servers [01:11] i guess this depends on how we define "general purpose" [01:11] Deep6: okay then good luck [01:11] EliahKagan, do you have a ubuntu releated questions if not there is a off-topic channel for off-yopic things [01:11] bobweaver: sorry to go off-topic; i was responding to a comment about proprietary UNIX, i'll stop now ;-) [01:12] eliahkagan my bsd experience is installing freebsd 4 (I think) [01:12] EliahKagan, restrain yourself! :P [01:12] unless you have a question regarding comparison of Ubuntu to proprietary Unix, nulldev [01:12] apart from that nothing apart from /bin/bash [01:12] what really is the primary difference between BSD and linux? [01:12] I like to hear it but if it is offtopic maybe the off-topic channel is a good place I respect you for hearing me out thanks. [01:12] EliahKagan, ^^ [01:13] is BSD / Linux comparison on-topic for #ubuntu (as it's not specific to Ubuntu...but Ubuntu is Linux)? [01:13] (i don't wanna keep offending ;-) ) [01:14] uibuntu isnt linux well not from there new kernel compiling its not [01:14] EliahKagan, its just a matter of keeping the channel clear for people who need help now [01:14] EliahKagan, I learned the hard way but if you are ever in doubt ask #ubuntu-irc [01:14] greenwolf, mainly: The BSD License is much less restrictive and even allows for the distribution of binary-only source. [01:15] wow ok [01:15] any difference in regards to performance [01:16] hrm....anyone have a way of shrinking / [01:16] Deep6, boot the livecd/liveusb and use gparted [01:16] Deep6, what do you `mean by shrink ? [01:17] Deep6, if you mean make the partition smaller, you can boot from live CD [01:17] Wow, that came a little late. [01:17] well, it occurred to me that I for disk performance of my vm's I should be using raw lvm devices [01:17] no other Linux chaneels act like this but they do linux-kernel not ubuntu-kernel are you funded by m$? [01:17] so, given i have all of my lvm vg used up in the lv root [01:18] Deep6, be careful with those. you can break things badly by mounting the raw device under host and guest [01:18] I need to resize my lv root, to provide more space for lvm raw devices [01:18] escott: they wouldn't be mounted under the host [01:18] just essentially be raw lv's for guests [01:18] Deep6, just make sure of that [01:18] to improve disk io [01:19] \ [01:19] ze plan is fullproof [01:19] it'll be unsinkable!!!! [01:19] Like the titanic... [01:19] drat, I knew I'd heard that before [01:20] somewhere [01:20] nulldev (and whoever): i just joined #ubuntu-offtopic, i'd be pleased to contrast GNU/Linux and BSD systems there if you're interested [01:21] if titanic had been software it wouldnt have been heard of the amount of buggy software [01:22] yeah will join you eliahkagan [01:27] Is BIND9 what I need for DNS and Zone management? [01:28] has anyone here ever set up whole disk encryption with a seperate home partition? [01:28] Cerrdor: yes [01:28] kthnx [01:29] Cerrdor: it's not something you setup overnight, without experience [01:29] thats what im about to learn [01:29] try and find the Orielly book written by Cricket Liu [01:30] Deep6, can you give me some idea of what is going to be involved here? [01:30] Cerrdor: voodooo [01:30] but fun voodoo [01:31] look for the oreilly book online [01:31] Meh I have been a voodoo practicianer for over 20 years now I dont think it is going to help tonight though lol [01:31] most people don't truly get DNS, running your own server is one of the best ways of doing so [01:32] thats what it is for. I want to learn what goes on on my hostings side of things I want to learn how they do it [01:32] Cricket _gets_ DNS... more than a bazillion people combined, and on top of it, he's a good guy [01:33] Hi. I can't edit my grub 2. I try gksu gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom but it does not allow me. I run as administrator [01:33] Cerrdor: 10 years ago people were using BIND a lot and manually maintaining their own zone files, often now people are using appliances [01:33] or.....shudder....Windows for DNS [01:34] Infoblox (whom Cricket works for) has appliances that are based on BIND === oscarpaats is now known as ozpy [01:34] is there some kind of linux method to centerally manage firefox, thunderbird, gnome-shell and googlechrome SETTINGS and updates for a local network of workstations from a central server? [01:34] would i use puppet to manage firefox addons/settings/bookmarks, googlechrome addons/settings/bookmarks, thunderbird settings/useraccounts for a localnetwork of workstations deployed by a cobbler server? === fayimora_ is now known as fayimora [01:36] randomDude: Puppet could do it [01:37] schnuffle: is that just an observation or do you have some kind of links that document experience with this particular scenario? [01:37] randomDude: Just checking if I find the pages I read [01:46] is it possible to have a seperate home partition using ubuntu's whole disk encryption? [01:46] mortal1, should be [01:52] hello world [01:55] Hello, has anyone here had any experience syncing an iphone under ubuntu 12.04? [01:55] hello thanmustoki. what does your name mean ? [01:55] From what I've gathered, the best way to do this is with itunes on virtualbox, but i'm not sure if there's a better way [01:56] !ipod [01:56] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [01:56] escott, thanks [01:57] escott, on that page there is nothing mentioning 12.04... can i assume that the instructions for 10.10 will work for me? [01:58] hi i added the cube under desktop in compiz and now when i go under workstation i cant click a window and move it to a different workstation [01:59] schnuffle: did you have any luck finding that information ? [01:59] dinguse, presumably [01:59] Not yet. I read an article about it, but couldn't find it in my linklist [01:59] escott, thanks [02:02] Strange problem with startup applications in 12.04. I have two applications listed - vncserver and quick synergy. Upon startup I get 150 COPIES of each started. Any idea who?? [02:02] why?? [02:04] noahnoah, I'm not familiar with that personally, but did you try removing the applications and reinstalling them? === anotherone is now known as anotherone2 === anotherone2 is now known as anotherone [02:04] That's couldn't possible be the issue. The applications are fine. the startup process is creating all the instances === anotherone is now known as anotherone2 [02:08] what language is opera written in? [02:09] Hi [02:09] it's mostly C++ [02:09] Is there a way to make Ubuntu look a little smaller? [02:09] smaller in what way? [02:09] Like, OSX on the macbook is quite clear and sharp and not in your face [02:09] ubuntu is.. kind of jumping out of the screen at me [02:09] everything is just a little too bulky [02:09] i think he means resolution [02:09] Well, resolution is one way [02:09] but I'm running at the highest [02:10] which happens to be the same as my macbook [02:10] but ubuntu is still looking a little chunky [02:10] so you want the windows and menus to use fewer pixels [02:10] expecially in eclipse [02:10] Yes [02:10] exactly [02:10] !enter [02:10] pslodge: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:10] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:10] hi i added the cube under desktop in compiz and now when i go under workstation i cant click a window and move it to a different workstation [02:11] I've made all the systems fonts smaller, that helped a little [02:11] cube breaks unity... what version ubuntu are you on Harris? [02:11] Harris: happends then you force an incompatible compiz plugin with unity ;) [02:11] 12.04 L3tops [02:11] yeah... cube does not play nice with the other kids... [02:12] L3tops, how do i fix it then [02:12] disable the cube [02:12] i did [02:12] that did not work [02:12] I am not really sure what enabling the cube asks you to disable in order to do it, but you will need to reenable those things. [02:13] should i uninstall compiz [02:13] no... that would definitely break everything [02:13] Harris: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html [02:13] ty xangua [02:14] I did an upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04, and now it seems a bunch of services are broken [02:14] any thoughts on how I best handle this? [02:14] !details | cab938 [02:14] cab938: 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 ..." [02:15] Guys, i have a quick question about android… Does anyone know if android phones give you the option to down-res movies automatically when attempting to send via e-mail? [02:15] Much like when you take a photo and the os will ask if you want to send a "small" "medium" or "large" version. [02:16] yes it does [02:16] I have a problem with being able to run various services. I'm running ubuntu 12.04 When I tryand ssh into my machine, or connect to samba share I can't, even on localhost. I get Connection refused. ufw says it is disabled. I can't connect based on my external IP either. [02:16] It's not just ssh, it is samba too [02:16] iBotPeaches: was that directed at me? [02:17] HyperNerdV2, yes [02:17] iBotPeaches: ha, thanks [02:17] cab938, are you coming in from outside your local subnet [02:18] My comp has been sitting at the installer of "who are you?" for 25min, it only took 4 seconds on my laptop. Guess something failed, restarting and trying again [02:18] escott, from the same machine [02:19] I've tried same subnet too, but that didn't help [02:19] no problems with outgoing net traffic [02:19] and I can do things like torrent [02:19] so it seems to be specific to these services [02:19] cab938, and what does service ssh status say [02:20] i read through : http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-install-onionrouter-software/ ... but how do i get ubuntu to route *all* outgoing traffic through privoxy /tor? [02:20] ssh stop/waiting [02:20] cab938, well its not running [02:20] And I just tried to restart it; [02:20] cab938@bamboo:~/sandboxes/cab938/Research$ sudo service ssh restart [02:20] stop: Unknown instance: [02:20] ssh start/running, process 3795 [02:20] hey guys, is there any similar application for Ubuntu to perform filer-like (ZFS Solaris) functions? :) thanks heaps [02:20] So it seems borked? [02:20] where would a find an error log for it? [02:21] /var/log/ [02:21] It did work before the upgrade, hence the thought that the upgrade killed it [02:22] cab938, what is your runlevel? are you at 2? [02:22] yes [02:22] syslog has this: [02:22] May 25 20:22:48 bamboo kernel: [372835.638299] init: ssh main process (3835) killed by ABRT signal [02:22] May 25 20:22:48 bamboo kernel: [372835.638325] init: ssh respawning too fast, stopped [02:22] cab938: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:22] A bunch of times [02:23] nevermind found this guide : http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Tor [02:23] is there a way to tell the ubuntu alt cd to use an existing lvm instead of creating one? [02:23] Is there a specific log file for ssh? [02:24] cab938, that suggests that sshd is calling abort inside its own code. some assertion must be failing [02:25] Zambz, you may want to tell us what those functions would do [02:25] When I tail the log and restart it tries about half a dozen times calling ABRT and then finally stopping [02:26] escott: Hey buddy, well they provide snapshotting and RAID-Z of all filesystems, much like a filer [02:26] Zambz, so btrfs (also a oracle product) supports snapshotting. another approach is lvm which provides various replication features [02:27] Zambz, and if you want raid btrfs has that built in, or you can use mdam [02:27] will check those out [02:27] thanks! [02:28] Zambz, btrfs is the most obvious direct competitor to things like ZFS but its not considered stable yet [02:29] a stable btrfs seems a long time coming, actually. [02:29] escott, when I run sshd stand alone it seems to core dump; what would be the best way to reinstall it and is dependances? [02:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1007480/ [02:29] Shows the dump [02:30] cab938, maybe. hard to say whats going on ther [02:31] cab938, you dont have anything pinned do you [02:31] hello [02:31] hi venenoverde [02:31] escott, is it sad I thought instantly about my wife's tablet and her pinterest usage? [02:31] :) [02:31] I'm afraid I don't know pinned in this context, unless its cpu, and no [02:31] !pinning | cab938 [02:31] cab938: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [02:32] can anyone see my comments? [02:32] reply just with "yes". [02:33] foxmulder881, yes [02:33] thanks escott. ;-) [02:33] I don't think I do escott, I don't have an /etc/apt/preferences file [02:34] and the sources.list looks like everything is now precise [02:35] Help! Ubuntu installer is stuck [02:35] !details | akshatj__ [02:35] akshatj__: 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 ..." [02:36] 12.04, installing using USB [02:37] and it is stuck doing what [02:37] Installing [02:37] can you be more specific [02:37] It is stuck at "Installing System" [02:38] escott: I also just installed zfs-fuse and created a new pool which looks to be working quite well! === yggdrasi1 is now known as yggdrasil [02:39] hello [02:39] akshatj__, i wonder if you could login to a tty while the installer is running. you could try it Ctrl-alt-f1 should bring up a tty, and ctrl-alt-f7 should take you back [02:40] at the terminal you might be able to run top to see if the cpu is in use [02:40] Hey, I am trying to install Ubuntu and after boot, my monitor keeps saying "Check signal cable". I am running through a DVI to VGA adaptor (my monitor is samsung syncmaster 740N). And I can't even INSTALL the OS :(. [02:40] I looked on google and I couldnt find anything. [02:40] Thehobo, dont run through adapters like that [02:41] escott, how come? [02:41] above, avoid adapters. [02:41] escott, Is it insane to try and --reinstall ubuntu-desktop? [02:41] I'm really at a loss where to go next with this [02:41] Thehobo, cause they are all broken. edid gets screwed up, and you cant get modelines [02:41] cab938, i dont think it would do anything because it would only reinstall that one package [02:42] is there a way to reinstall with deps? [02:42] escott, foxmulder881, but for example I tried booting a windows CD and that works. So I suspect it has to do with Ubuntu not knowing how to output? [02:42] probably not recognizing the display through the adapter. [02:42] do you really need the adapter? [02:43] foxmulder881, Yes, my monitor is very old and my graphics card only has DVI outputs. :( [02:43] foxmulder881, my only other choice is to buy a new monitor which is out of the question due to financial constrains. [02:44] no suggestions other than get a more modern display. sorry can't help you with that. [02:44] Thehobo, you will want to specify modelines then [02:44] try another distro just for curiousity sake. [02:44] L3tops, i did all of the codes in the website that xangua gave us but it didnt work [02:44] ¿¿ [02:45] might be worth trying swapping dvi ports too. [02:45] escott, how do I do that though? It just boots, shows the little man next to a keyboard at the bottom of the screen. And only after that it goes to "check signal cable" while the system is still loading from the Cd [02:45] foxmulder881, I did that :) [02:45] xangua, what is the upside down ? mean [02:45] Thehobo, http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt [02:45] foxmulder881, I tried both Ubuntu and Xubuntu, you mean I should try something like fedora? [02:45] yeah. [02:45] just be interesting to see. [02:46] Thehobo, basically any modern kernel 3.2 and up? is going to try and to KMS [02:46] Harris: as in what did you do¿ [02:46] escott, i did not know that. ;-) [02:46] escott, I am reading through the thing and I don't know how I can do that because I can't see anything. [02:47] Thehobo, you would specify it at the boot loader [02:47] i got a problem [02:47] i copied the codes from your website to reset the compiz settings unity and launcher to get the workspaces working again but it didnt work xangua [02:47] how can i chose the kernel i want to boot from command line? [02:48] Gaybar2000, hold down shift when grub starts [02:48] no, i can't hold shift, the computer is remote [02:48] escott, so the computer boots up. It says press any key to boot from CD, and then I get the problem I told you. I cannot see anything. How can I specify at the boot loader then? [02:49] Gaybar2000, change the default index in /etc/default/grub and rerun update-grub. be careful though as you dont want to end up not being bootable [02:49] Thehobo, sounds like you cant [02:49] thank you [02:50] escott, yeah :( oh well, thanks for trying to help me btw! [02:50] Thehobo, you could try the alternate installer [02:51] xangua, do you know what to do now [02:51] escott, yep :) thanks [02:51] anyone be able to help with my mic not working anymore on my emachines netbook? [02:51] cab938, im afraid i dont have any god ideas for you [02:52] yea, I'm feeling pretty empty here [02:52] ty for your help though escott [02:52] I wish I could just reinstall all 12.04 packages, maybe one was corrupted, but I have no idea how to do that [02:52] you would think there would be an option in apt-get [02:52] xangua, WHAT DO I DO [02:53] cab938, there is a fix broken argument [02:53] Well time to try another distro.....I'm tired of these 12.04 problems. Just too many to solve. [02:56] !caps | Harris [02:56] Harris: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.

[03:06] cab938, sure. if you just wanted to reinstall the entire os you might manage to do that with some dpkg commands [03:06] you better use a virtual machine today [03:07] Question - I'm trying to figure out a way to rotate some items on my system. I'm running Motion, which takes continual JPGs when motion is detected on the camera. I want to keep a feed for 7 days... I'm trying to figure out with bash scripts and cron how at midnight I can move today's files as "yesterday" but retain monday/tuesday/wednesday as thedirectory names... [03:07] jordan, just ask your real question and find out? [03:07] roasted, use logrotate. it runs daily you just need to create a config for it [03:07] So that is Ubuntu's last chance to help me? [03:08] hi i added the cube under desktop in compiz and now when i go under workstation i cant click a window and move it to a different workstation [03:08] !helpme | keithclark [03:08] keithclark: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [03:10] xangua, thanks...I needed something more than posting an automated bot response.

[03:11] No asking how to fix or help [03:11] A joke [03:11] hello [03:12] keithclark: please ask a real question, instead of badmouthing us... it helps if you have a question that we can answer... I logged on recently of if you posted before I didn't see it, others may not have either... see !patience [03:12] OK, so I installed Ubuntu on a friends laptop. I created a dual boot with windows 7 and Ubuntu and gave both equal amounts of memory. Hes going to use Windows for gaming and Ubuntu for everything else. However, he later told me that he needs more memory on the Windows partition since games take up so much memory. I used google to try to see if I can give more memory to the Windows partition, but everything I found was too confusing for me to fol [03:12] low. So can an expert give me an easy to understand answer on how I would give more memory to windows? [03:12] ????????????????????????????????????????????????????? [03:12] ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? [03:12] GeekSquid, I did\ [03:12] keithclark: Hi , for people to be able to assist you .. you need to state your issue in details. [03:12] flank: ! [03:12] Harris: how about you open compiz settings manager, Disable the Cube and Largedesktop plugins and then Enable Desktop Wall plugin [03:12] hi, is there any bbs software for ubuntu based on text, no gui. [03:12] i know [03:13] jordan: use gparted, shrink the ubuntu partition, and increase the size of the windows partition... this will need to be done from the live disk, you can't do it with ubuntu mounted [03:14] what talk about? [03:14] flank ... this is support for ubuntu... not really a chat channel [03:15] ??? [03:15] flank: this a support channel .. you can chit-chat in #defocus , or #ubuntu-offtopic . [03:15] jordan, Gparted comes with the Ubuntu Live CD. Just boot from the live CD and run Gparted and shrink the Ubuntu partition like Geeksquid said (very easy and intuitive) [03:15] Ok, on Gparted, how will i be able to tell which partition is ubuntu and which is windows 7 [03:15] oops xangua i uninstalled compiz [03:15] jordan, It will say on it: Windows is the NTFS one, and the Ubuntu one is the ext4 (or ext3) [03:16] jordan, they will be different types. windows is ntfs [03:16] xangua, do i reinstall it [03:16] how to change ip by term? [03:17] !terminal [03:17] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [03:18] Harris: you did what¿! [03:18] sure uninstalling X Y and Z is the solutin to evertything... [03:18] how to change ip by terminal? [03:19] xangua, i uninstalled the app thinking it would fix [03:19] flank, unless you have a static ip you cant just change it. it has to be set at the router [03:20] i think my friends laptop has a two windows (ntfs) partitions (I think one is windows 7 and the other is the recovery partition) is there any way to tell which one is which [03:20] jordan, the recovery will likely be smaller [03:20] such as ip 192.168.0.1 mask255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 [03:20] jordan, ther eis also traditionally a label [03:20] Working with libreoffice 3 in ubuntu 11.04. After a power failure, just opened a .doc and prompted to choose ASCII Filter Options. Why is this? [03:22] ok, and your sure this is possible? there shouldnt be any problems i run into? [03:22] escott, thanks! [03:22] flank: you will need to edit /etc/network/interfaces [03:22] jordan, its not a bad idea to backup before resizing, but otherwise it should be safe. it will take a long time to shrink the partition because the data has to be moved [03:23] roasted, ok? not sure how i helped but ok [03:23] Ok, well thanks! [03:24] xangua, please help me i reinstalled it [03:24] escott, that was a delayed answer to you suggesting logrotate. Had to run the dog outside for a few mins so it took me a bit to come back and see you replied. [03:24] roasted, ahh [03:24] escott, seems like logrotate is already installed, which I never knew existed. I'll have to look into it and see how to set it up. [03:25] roasted, its pretty straightforward, just base it off the config for your other logs [03:25] Harris: aaah.... this should install all default packages: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [03:25] hi im having a problem with wubi, it will not run on my windows 7 machine, it starts to load then closes, no error messages no nothing [03:25] (21:13:16) Harris: should i uninstall compiz [03:25] (21:13:22) L3tops: no... that would definitely break everything - i just don't get why you did it.... [03:25] escott, so I can apply logrotate to items that aren't... logs? [03:25] actually wait...i just downloaded gparted to take a look at partitions...what is extended, ext4, and linux-swap? Which one should I shrink to shrink Ubuntu? [03:26] xangua, maybe [03:26] roasted, its just files. why would logrotate care whats in them [03:26] can anyone help me? [03:26] escott, good point [03:26] xangua, i really want the cube though [03:27] jordan: grab a screenshot and post it to imgbin.org [03:27] extended is a container to hold other partitions, but it does not itself contain any data. ext4 is your linux partition, linux-swap is linux related but does not contain data [03:27] Harris: you do not want the cube because it breaks unity [03:28] guess not.... [03:28] !anyone | xisor [03:28] xisor: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [03:28] i already asked my question, got zero response from anyone at all [03:28] escott: when your computer is low on physical memory (ram) it uses swap (harddisk partition) as alternate [03:28] !patience | xisor [03:28] xisor: 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/ [03:29] i asked if someone can help me figure out why wubi wont run at all on this machine, it doesnt even spit out an error message or anything [03:29] xisor: and why use wubi¿ why don't give a chance to reall install¿ [03:29] Studious, i know what it is. just didnt want to go through it all because its not really related to jordans quesion [03:29] simple, id rather not have to go out and buy an optical drive to try ubuntu, and even if i did i have no free usb or sata ports to plug it into. [03:29] http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=8177 and i am aware that they are currently mounted....im not actually going to shrink any now, im just getting a look at the partitions so i know EXACTLY what i need to do [03:30] how to read ext4 in windows? [03:30] Sach: no simple answer as to why is that .. you stated that this occurred after a power failure , so its common that the app got crached .. see if LibreOffice is set as the default app / right click on the .doc file and select Properties . === ubuntu is now known as Guest73135 [03:31] jordan, one headache you will have is that extended partition. you can shrink the ext4 and then move it back so that there is blank space between the end of sda2 and the start of sda5, but you cannot expand the sda2 without shrinking the extended === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [03:31] jordan: shrink /dev/sda5, then shrink,sda4 with the empty space at the beginning of the partition, then expand sda2 [03:31] xangua, but i have seen youtube videos of other ubuntu 12.04 users with it [03:31] sary: yes, libreoffice is set as the default app. Also, the file size is 32kb, so there is definitely something there! [03:32] jordan, a couple of approaches at that point would be to (a) take a backup of your partition table and then delete it, and recreate a new one that matches the current partition table exactly, but has the extended partition starting later [03:32] Harris: well then do as you wish and good luck... [03:32] jordan, alternately you could use a tool like gdisk to convert the mbr table to a gpt table and then convert from gpt back to mbr setting the extended partition as desired [03:32] is there a wubi specific support channel? [03:33] flank: Perhaps http://www.ext2fsd.com/ [03:33] xangua, i am going to give you the outcomes of the command you gave me where do i post it [03:33] Sach: Ok , is the file extension labled as doc , or docx . [03:33] sary: .doc [03:34] this is why i get so confused...can you explain this to me in plain english (i really dont understand partitions all that much)...or mabye you could give me a link to a website that explains all this to me... [03:34] Loshki, flank, ext4 is not suppored by ext2fsd AFAIK [03:34] what is an extended partition?? [03:35] hi [03:35] xangua, i am sending you a file with the outcomes of the code you gave me [03:35] escott: ext4 support may be new (I've never used it). The web page clearly says "Open source ext3/4 file system driver for Windows"... [03:35] jordan, start by shrinking sda5. the shrink will happen at the end of sda5 leaving blank space between sda5 and sda6. then move sda5 so that it lines up with sda6. now you have blank space inside sda4 (its that extended container) [03:35] can any one help me..my 3g dongle is nt working wit ubuntu.. [03:35] Sach: Alright , i've never truobleshoot liberoffice before for whatever reason .. lets see where can we look in next . [03:36] jordan, then you would want to resize the extended partition (you shrunk the boxes inside the extended partition box so now you can shrink the extended partition box itself) but the tools might not let you do that [03:36] is there a wubi specific support channel? [03:36] xangua, http://pastebin.com/tyXPEezT [03:37] jonEdney: can u help me..i m nt able to use my 3g dongle in ubuntu. [03:37] i was trying to reset my mysql root password; and shut down mysql with: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop. now mysql is refusing to start; i have already checked /var/log/messages ; /var/log/mysql but nothing shows up ... [03:37] jordan, and so you might have to work around that, and the two ways are to backup the table and create a new one, or to convert from mbr->gpt->mbr [03:37] jordan, i dont know if that makes any more sense [03:38] ok...im kinda getting it...but ill come back when im actually doing the shrinking...and just to clarify: i can add more memory to the windows partition, correct? sorry but i really like to double check with this stuff :/ [03:38] I'm on Pangolin. I need to install libavcodec52 or libavcodec-extra-52 as a dependency but libavcodec53 is the only one available on Pangolin. What should I do? [03:38] jordan, with a bit of work yes you can add disk space to sda2 [03:38] escott: can u help me..i m nt able to use my 3g dongle wit ubuntu. [03:38] jordan, we reserve the work memory for RAM not hard disk space [03:38] meraj, I'm unfortunately not familiar with the compatibility of that.

[03:40] !caps | Harris [03:40] Harris: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [03:40] OerHeks, are you being sarcastic [03:40] work memory?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [03:41] !helpme | meraj [03:41] meraj: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [03:41] OerHeks, what is trolling [03:41] can someone please help with with wubi? [03:41] xangua, http://pastebin.com/y5Wn7LaZ [03:42] meraj, i dont know too much about wireless connections, but try me [03:42] xisor, maybe you have to ask the question, not for help. [03:42] i need help figuring out why the wubi application will not even run on this pc [03:42] it acts like its going to, then nothing happens at all [03:43] xisor, this is after you installed wubi and try to boot into it? [03:43] sary: any suggestions/ [03:43] no, i cannot even get that far, wubi itself will not load so i can install it [03:43] xangua, this is the right outcome http://pastebin.com/y5Wn7LaZ [03:43] xisor, I would go to the ubuntu forums and have wubi in the thread header, and get the help from like the one helper there if you get no help here. [03:43] is there a known issue with the file operations transfer status indicator? [03:44] so basically they make this thing and nobody uses or supports it? [03:44] Sach: I guess creating a new profile for it might might show a difference .. or see if that window wont pop-up while logged in to a different user .. test this with the guest session . [03:44] xisor, it is just not real popular help is hit and miss, it is for trying out the OS in lieu of a prtitioned instal. [03:44] Hi. I have a dependency issue that apt and gdebi can't resolve on their own. I'm on Pangolin. I need to install libavcodec52 or libavcodec-extra-52 as a dependency but libavcodec53 is the only one available on Pangolin. What should I do? Mark the 52 verson as installed or force installation from source or another package? [03:45] *partitioned [03:45] when i cut/copy a file say 300mb.. it jumps to 290mb transfered and sticks there until the tranfer is complete [03:45] xisor, its not very popular with most people in the channel. i would recommend you do a regular install or that you use virtualbox [03:45] why would i be willing to do a "real" install if wubi wont even open? does not speak well to the usability of the OS, im trying to test it out, and i dont have an optical drive so this is my ONLY option [03:45] im not going to go buy a drive to test an OS that i may not like [03:45] especially if the windows based installer wont even run [03:46] i want a full speed test, virtualbox is far too slow and without native hardware feature support that my machine has, so it is not a viable test [03:46] Sach: Yeah , am looking at something .. [03:46] escott: i have one more question: what did you mean by "work memory"? [03:46] sary: great. much appreciated [03:46] xisor, what about a liveusb? can you do a usb boot [03:46] http://pastebin.com/y5Wn7LaZ xangua [03:46] anyone? [03:47] i do not know if my usb hdd enclosure allows booting via usb or not, and no idea how to set it up to do so [03:47] jordan "word memory" not work memory my typo. we call hard disk space "disk space" or just "space" memory is RAM [03:47] Harris: so if there is nothing to install, you did not uninstall compiz¿ [03:47] not yet i reinstalled it [03:48] i dont know why wubi doesnt work though, my machine isnt too old, the OS has been recently re installed clean, everythings working fine, except that [03:48] Harris: then why are you spinning around¿ [03:48] escott: so what does that have to do with the partitions i showed you? [03:48] i'm not able to start mysql on ubuntu 10.04 lts; mysql pre-start process (2655) terminated with status 1 ... any ideas on how to fix? thanx! [03:48] what does spinning around mean [03:48] jordan, you kept saying you wanted more memory. it was confusing. you wanted more disk space. thats all [03:48] Sach: Try to reset LibreOffice user profile .. http://askubuntu.com/questions/136029/libreoffice-calc-background-fill-options-all-white === Athanasius is now known as freetroll [03:50] with the global menu, is there a way to configure it to ignore certian applications and display the menu bar the old fasion way? === greenwolf is now known as soapee45 [03:50] escott: ok im sorry....im used to refering to diskspace as "memory" and word memory as "RAM" my mistake [03:50] sup ppl [03:50] Hi.

I need to install libavcodec52 or libavcodec-extra-52 as a dependency but libavcodec53 is the only one available on Pangolin. What should I do? Mark the 52 verson as installed or force installation from source or another package? Is it part of some mysterious repository? [03:51] escott: well thanks a bunch for your help! [03:51] eje211: why do you believe you need 52? [03:51] does ubuntu directly offer support? or no?

[05:03] jgmdev: This is a rather old version, pre upstart [05:03] in the bind9 configuration if my gateway is 10.0.2.x would I change this: type master; [05:03] file "/etc/bind/zones/rev.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa"; to type master; [05:03] file "/etc/bind/zones/rev.2.0.10.in-addr.arpa";? [05:03] Oh snappp [05:04] I shoulda pastebin that sorry [05:04] while compiling marble package, it throws the following error - dh_makeshlibs: dpkg-gensymbols -plibmarblewidget12 -Idebian/libmarblewidget12.symbols.i386 -Pdebian/libmarblewidget12 returned exit code 1 [05:04] jgmdev: I tried updating, but upstart at the time was unbelievably broken, so I rolled back lol... [05:04] CoJaBo, there is also rcconf [05:04] CoJaBo, rcconf is a cli gui utility to disable/enable services [05:05] As long as its dead, that should be good- I just want to keep it around in case the static config explodes next reboot and I need *something* that can connect me to the net without googling which I wouldn't be able to do :P [05:06] UBUNTU...make that goddam 10.04 link easily findable and stop pushing this fucking buggy 12.04 on our face [05:06] usually a ifconfig eth0 up, and dhclient eth0 should get you online :) [05:06] blackmatrix_ny, no cursing here [05:06] jgmdev: lol.. The thing nearly gave me a heart attack when my ssh shells died tho- 2 solid days to troubleshoot, discover the mobo was bad, then rebuild the whole, and I thought it had crashed O_O [05:07] bazhang, i dont care anymore...Ubuntu is starting to act like fucking windows [05:07] In the middle of which, a pipe burst, causing this emergency to be interrupted by another -_-' [05:07] OerHeks: any other ideas? [05:07] CoJaBo, you should write down does commands I wrote [05:07] CoJaBo, in case network manager doesnt works :D [05:08] ifconfig at least I have memorized- use that all the time :P [05:09] and dhclient adaptername to automatically get ip info [05:09] diverdude: if the fun isn't running , this is bad and dangerous as it might and very likely to damage the cpu and motherboard . [05:09] sary: The file size is 32kb, so the info is definitely still there, right? [05:09] sary, /fan/fun [05:10] lol, I have a laptop with a broken fan :/ [05:10] sary: how do i start it [05:10] It gets real hot unless I sit it on its side when i leave it.. [05:11] jagginess: did i made a ty-po ! :) [05:11] diverdude: start what exactly .. [05:11] sardonyx: the fan [05:12] Sach: it should , i hope so .. [05:12] diverdude, if the fan never turns on-- and you tried different linux live cds too, then it'll be wise to consider finding out why.. [05:13] oh yes [05:13] who can help me [05:13] night_, ask a real question [05:13] jgmdev: the fun part is trying to get wpa_supplicant working on a USB wifi adaptor with buggy drivers LOL - Very bad when it fails when its controlling a $5,000 robot o_O [05:14] diverdude: the fan should run , if not then all i can tink of is to set the proper kernal boot option for it to run. [05:14] there is noboday use kubuntu??? [05:14] night_, sure there are. whats the real question [05:14] sary: I dont know what else to do :( :( [05:15] i can't install input-bar [05:15] night_: I use it on most of mine.. [05:15] night_, how did you try to install it, and from where, what errors did you get, pastebin them [05:15] Sach: what was the result of the fsck .. [05:15] !paste | night_ [05:15] night_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [05:16] i install it by software center [05:16] sary: it did the scan on reboot. once it completed, it prompted me to log in as per usual. no sign of the results of the fsck. [05:16] i don't know what happend [05:17] everything looks like well with no error [05:18] my english not every well [05:18] night_: If you have trouble with the GUI, theres always apt-get; unfortunately, the Kubuntu gui installer has always tended to suck :/ [05:20] ..... [05:20] ok [05:20] Kubuntu can also be installed from the Kubuntu alternate CD, if the GUI installer isn't working well [05:20] Sach: ok, i'd try to purge liberoffice , and install it again .. and in the same time file a bug as mentioned in the wiki , also better to ask a support question in askubuntu.com and on launchpad qestions section . [05:20] i need luck [05:20] how are guyyy [05:20] hello [05:20] <_nix_> hey [05:20] hi question_guy [05:20] :) [05:20] proud to say im trying to quit my addiction to windows. [05:20] hi ...i m trying to compile supertuxkart...but error is there......the mailing list suggested me to upgrade irrlicht to trunk revision 4099...can u help me how to do this in ubuntu [05:21] question_guy: Well, the first step is admitting it :P [05:21] :D [05:21] killer: is it possible for you to post a link to the relevant post/thread in the mailing list archives? === machiolate is now known as machicolate [05:22] I switched to Kubuntu after thw whole Vista fiasco... Never looked back. [05:22] Sach: its easy and simple to creat accoutns in both askubuntu.com and launchpad.net [05:23] Sach: indeed -- you can even use your launchpad.net account to authenticate with AskUbuntu.com [05:23] lol, I only have 2 copies of Win XP running, in virtual machines- one to run *just* a printer, the other to run *just* IE6 -_-' [05:23] Question all: I have a minimal precise installation with lightdm installed. XBMC is running on top of it and I have it set to put the display to sleep after a few minutes idle. When it comes back, it asks me for a password. How can I disable this? [05:23] So my whole process has been somewhat incremental. I'm using ubuntu on an external drive and windows on an internal drive. Everytime I install ubuntu. I disconnect my internal drive first. As to not overwrite the mbr. The problem is.... most of the time... I get a grub rescue prompt everytime I do that.. [05:23] hi [05:23] I assume its lightdm asking for a password but I can't seem to tell it to stop [05:23] killer: i ask mainly because 4162 is the latest build of irrlicht and it might be better (and is also easier) to use that if there is no specific reason to use 4099 [05:24] hi q_ === Guest66009 is now known as Aranel [05:24] i am newer to ubuntu [05:25] question_guy: you can configure GRUB2 to not write to the MBR of the first drive -- you can do that config during installation or afterwards (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 or feel free to ask here if that's not helpful enough) [05:25] EliahKagan : in the reply i got they specified me not to use the latest one but only to use 4099 [05:25] Welcome aboard q_ , this is ubuntu support channel . [05:25] CoJaBo, I have a usb wifi adapter ralnk I use iwpriv to configure it for exmple: iwpriv ra0 set SSID=networkname etc... [05:25] killer: ah ok [05:26] kubuntub is dieing???? [05:26] jgmdev: These had terrible support, but I needed to use them cuz the auth was tied to the MAC address.. [05:26] well let's see if i can find the svn server [05:26] The other wifi i had didnt support changing its MAC wither [05:26] night_, no [05:26] either* [05:26] thank you for the reply Eliah. === administrator is now known as Guest76295 [05:26] CoJaBo, mmm usually wireless adapter drivers suck :D [05:27] I'll to my best to review that link.

[05:53] bazhang? [05:53] xisorshadow, with padevchooser, pavucontrol or what [05:54] it listed both hdmi and analog when i aplay -l it [05:54] how do i make it so it ONLY uses the analog output? [05:54] and never uses hdmi audio? [05:54] i think its using hdmi audio and thats why i have no sound [05:54] egrep -i 'synap|alps|etps' /proc/bus/input/devices [05:55] shit returns nothing [05:55] xisorshadow: click on audio icon top right corner [05:55] blackmatrix_ny, stop cursing. last warning.

[06:51] [R], I expected that somewhere, a user would have a crontab to do things on a regular basis, like rotate logs [06:51] <[R]> robotdevil: irc supports a TOPIC command for a reason... [06:51] but not even root has a crontab [06:51] <[R]> flowerpot: system crons are covered in /etc/crontab [06:51] robotdevil, in the system settings click on displays and untick mirror displays [06:52] Ohhhh [06:52] nanobolic: thanks [06:53] nanobolic: now what for kde I have both installed [06:53] [R], thanks, I didn't realize.

Maybe some graphics card setting I have to set specific for chrome os ? [06:59] Sailorr, dont spam here [07:00] bazhang: We do not negotiate with spam [07:00] plug it into power :) run the hdmi or vga or whatever cable you use to the computer then go into the display settings that should do it [07:01] i can get the projector to work vista via the usb cable, but it had to load some files from a cd to work. the cd does not contain any files that ubuntu can read. [07:02] with IPTables would anyone know how to make them permanent to where right now then when I reboot my machine then I have to manually load the iptables saved file. how do you make it automatic [07:03] <[R]> BlackWeb: you should use ufw [07:03] so then I would say check for linux drivers downloads on the projectors site or call the guys for help that made it [07:05] it may not currently be available use a new linux/ ubuntu distro or update as well you can try [07:05] maybe the drivers are in a newer version of ubuntu [07:05] builtin [07:05] Alright never heard of it before I'll check it out thanks :) [07:09] look in the man pages for iptables I am sure you will beable to find a few exams and what you need to get rid of manual doing it... Or use a gui based tool to do all this behind the scense stuff [07:09] there are plenty of them' [07:10] unless you are doing something very complex or low level you shouldn't have to touch these iptables directly would think the gui versions would be enough [07:13] thanks for your help.

[07:17] You must have downloaded the 32 bit image [07:17] Redownload the 64bit one and you're good [07:17] zombifier, no, I didn't download any iso file [07:17] I just clicked on "Download windows installer" [07:17] You mean Wubi? [07:18] AMD64 is listed [07:18] Sulaiman, it selects 32 bit by default [07:18] you need to select 64 bit [07:18] 32 bit is recommended because some drivers do not work in 64 bit [07:19] i need help I installed Ubuntu and it boots fine from the live cd but I lose video when I boot from grub [07:19] can anyone help me or should i just give up [07:19] and remove ubuntu and restore my windows MBR [07:19] zombifier, yes, i meant wubi [07:19] try Kubuntu, before leaving the ubuntu world [07:20] Sulaiman, I'm not familiar with Wubi, but it should allow you to choose 64bit [07:20] Ketchup_Bottle, 1) I don gapagos: what do you mean by losing video? [07:20] jbisuwhdfuywshushd [07:20] \hbcdsbhnjscmsdsdcyuhudsgxuyh [07:21] dcvdsvcjdb chgdsgak [07:21] zombiefier, i mean i get no video signal after I order grub to boot ubuntu, and my monitor shuts off as if it was disconnected [07:21] gapagos, what gfx card are you using? [07:21] there is a quick image tear before it happens so i asusme it;s a driver issue or so [07:22] zombifier, do you recommend that I stick to 32-bit, as gapagos mentioned some drivers don't work with the 64-bit version? [07:22] its a nvidia 9600 gt [07:22] Dunno. If you mainboard is AMD64, then go with 64bit [07:23] If you don't use any foreign graphic card or wireless card then you should be fine [07:23] the irony is I used to have ubuntu 9.04 and it worked fine [07:23] Sulaiman, there really isn't a huge difference between 32 and 64 in my experience [07:23] gapagos, any chance the install process went awry? [07:24] In my personal experience, the new nvidia driver (provided with Ubuntu's Additional Driver) is really buggy [07:24] Sulaiman, there is not such driver issue. use 64 if your hardware supports it [07:24] unomi, maybe during the grub, it originally said "no such disk" and i couldn't boot any os [07:25] Sulaiman, I was using 32 bit before, using 64 now - haven't really run into any issues, but nor am I feeling any subjective changes [07:25] I installed and used boot-repair from the live cd to repair it and reinstall grub [07:25] my laptop is using intel i5 64bit, so I will go ahead with the 64bit version [07:25] when you lose video, does the hdd continue to churn / any welcome sounds? [07:25] I had a strange problem after installation of ubuntu yesterday after I activated the proprietary drivers ubuntu doesn't recognize my 2nd monitor anymore. I have a gtx250. For now I stick with the open source driver but does anyone have an idea how this can be resolved [07:25] unomi thats the only issue i can think of [07:25] unomi i keep hearing sounds from the HDD, but no welcome chimmie after several mins [07:27] unomi but eventually it becomes quiet and I just hard-reboot.... also my keyboard still works (at least caps locks does) as I lose video [07:27] If it was me I'd probably just reinstall, if it persisted then look at fiddling from the liveCD environment [07:27] unomi I just installed for the 1st time [07:28] the install doesn my guess would be that it is either loading something into the kernel that would need to be blacklisted, or not realizing the need to fall back to a more generic driver [07:29] yeah but what can i try to fix it [07:29] gapagos, the thing is that the grub install issue isn't something that is part of the normal process [07:30] I would personally see if it might not bug out the 2nd time around [07:30] unomi, if I only use the grub as the live cd intended, it gives me the error "no such disk" when I boot [07:30] it;s quite scary as I can't boot at all not even in windows or ubuntu [07:30] how many hdds do you have? [07:31] like 3 [07:31] i think [07:31] windows and ubuntu are on 2 different ones [07:31] are they stand-alone or RAID? [07:31] ok [07:31] not sure [07:31] try installing with the others disconnected? [07:31] KIMAvcrp: hi , do you happen to have a dual graphic cards . [07:32] I mean, yes, you can probably fix it via the liveCD and fiddling with the right config settings, but I don't have that expertise [07:32] unomi, if I disconnect the linux one, ill have 2 linux distros on 2 different drives when I connect it back and itll have to reduce my windows partition [07:32] if you want to gain that then google might be a backup-buddy till someone who does is around :) [07:33] if I disconnect the windows one it wont detect it and wont give me the windows boot option [07:33] no, I mean disconnect all but the one you want to install linux to [07:33] but i dont want to disconnect the windows one for fear of not being able to boot in windows or having two competing MBRs [07:34] that is an easier issue to fix than fiddling with the unknown [07:34] once you can boot from your hdd with linux and the gfx still hold up [07:34] then the only thing left to do is the grub entry [07:35] ( for the windows entry ) [07:35] i had really bad experiences with corrupted MBRs before [07:35] im kinda paranoiac nowadays [07:35] I wish I could help you better [07:35] thx anyway [07:35] i appreciate it [07:36] well, go exploring :) [07:36] boot from the liveCD and see what you can dig up on grub configumalation === wilee-nilee is now known as maple-bacon [07:46] how do you change the boot splash screen in 12.04 [07:47] is it called usplash?

I'm on a clean 64-bit 12.04 install, and I can't install ia32-libs. [08:18] huh [08:18] synaptic won't work? [08:19] it did for me [08:19] at least, it says they are installed [08:19] sudo aptitude install ia32-libs gives me a dependency resolution dialog that suggests not installing any of the packages [08:20] "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" [08:20] what happens? [08:20] Guest, update your repos't? [08:21] Blackshirt: just updated [08:21] Orpheon: .... weird, they're installing [08:21] I was under the impression that aptitude was a wrapper over apt-get? [08:21] Why would aptitude choose not to install them when apt-get would? [08:22] No...aptitude not wrapper for apt-get [08:23] so [08:23] anyone have any idea why my wine can't initialize opengl? [08:23] Blackshirt: Then what is it? How are they different? [08:23] aptitude is older, I think [08:23] not sure though [08:24] aptitude handles dependency better than apt-get [08:24] I think was not [08:24] Orpheon: apt is definitely older. I think apt dates back to '86 or something, aptitude is relatively new. [08:24] aptitude is the superior tool for sysadmins [08:24] I mean, aptitude not older compared to apt-get [08:25] <[R]> Guest1408: that makes no sense on so many levels [08:25] ah ok [08:25] zombifier: I tend to preferentially use aptitude, but in this case it was actually refusing to install my packages >.> [08:25] [R]: ? [08:25] <[R]> Guest1408: apt being from 86 [08:25] What error does it give? [08:25] Are you sure for 86? Linux was not created before? [08:25] It's possible. [08:25] Erm. 98 [08:25] <[R]> lol [08:25] listen to wikipedia, not my tired brain [08:26] since some really old Linux tools are actually from UNIX [08:26] shred commands for sure [08:26] Emacs is 76 [08:26] shared* === Guest1408 is now known as bethebunny [08:31] how can i extract rar files?

For some odd reason, I do not know when I boot Ubuntu live it gets stuck on the loading screen with the dots going along the screen. And when I try to boot Windows which I have installed on my hdd it gets past the boot screen but then goes to a black screen with the mouse, and then it restarts. I've no idea what I've done or what I should do... :S [08:36] Jragon: The LiveCD is slow. Wait for a few minutes. [08:37] As for the Windows problem, no idea. The LiveCD does not, in anyway possible, modify your system. [08:37] zombifier: I left it 3 hours with out any luck. [08:37] hi have someone know , why I didn't find menu.lst [08:37] OK, 3 hours is too much [08:37] on ubuntu 12 LTS [08:37] I have also tried Linux Mint, with the same problem. [08:37] Mint 11 [08:37] Jragon, if you press Esc when you see the dots, you will be shown the boot messages which may be helpful in diagnosing the problem. === fayimora_ is now known as fayimora [08:37] I install Xen-Hypervisor [08:38] on Ubuntu 12 LTS.

[08:45] !info xen-hypervisor [08:45] Package xen-hypervisor does not exist in precise [08:45] Actually, xen-hypervisor-4.1-i386 is the correct name [08:45] or xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64 if 64bit [08:45] yeah for some reason on my 32bit quantal I am offered xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64 [08:46] logging a bug [08:46] mjtowell: Any idea as to what I should do? [08:46] how come removing quiet and splash from /etc/default/grub still gives me the ugly gray boot splash on kubuntu 12.04 [08:46] Yeah. Precise 32bit here and I see all 2 packages, i386 and amd64 [08:47] robotdevil: do you mean a plain screen? [08:47] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= is how my grub looks and still a splash screen [08:47] I already install with xen-hypervisor-*, but I didn't find grub [08:47] for choosing xen-kernel [08:48] ActionParsnip: no it has a logo and everything [08:48] Jragon, not without knowing what your boot messages say. Have a look at what boot message your system hangs on and search Google for that particular boot message with words such as "hangs". [08:48] robotdevil: can you expandon 'ugly' then please [08:49] robotdevil: did you run: sudo update-grub after editting the file, as well? [08:50] ActionParsnip: oops lol [08:50] robotdevil, did you update grub after removing, or from the boot it was removed [08:51] haha I sense he didn't run update-grub [08:51] it happens [08:51] mjtowell: Hmm.. It only comes up with a result. timeout: killing '/sbin/blkid -o udev -o /dev/sbd' [461] [08:51] * ActionParsnip warms up a facepalm for robotdevil [08:51] lol [08:51] :) [08:52] even says it on the top line of the file as a handy reminder :) [08:52] head -n 1 /etc/default/grub [08:53] if debian could get rid of its habit of generating the actually used config files I would be so much happier [08:53] ? [08:53] grub2 is pretty smart, but apparently not smart enough to do the work at boot-up time to discover what operating systems are there, or to read auxiliary config files like /etc/default/grub. [08:54] Jragon, are you using the latest Ubuntu live CD? [08:54] alankila: that's what os-prober is for [08:54] every update-foo program is imho a bug. But perhaps update-initramfs and update-grub are the sort of things that are too hard to fix [08:54] mjtowell: no [08:54] mjtowell: I'll download it now and burn it. [08:55] Jragon: remember to MD5 test :) [08:55] robotdevil: better? [08:55] ActionParsnip: How would I do that? [08:55] Jragon, I think that trying the latest live CD is good idea :) Good luck.

[09:07] now* [09:08] robotdevil: do you mean from the desktop session? [09:08] sorry reboot or restart or shutdown [09:08] I was hoping you guys could help to break my mental block ... I've never before configured a mail or web server in my life, and for shits and giggles I registered a domain to play around with. In South Africa we have DSL with dynamic IP's, so I would like to know if anyone can explain to me how I get the mail to delivered to my server and then how to get the mail to me and my mates [09:09] robotdevil: can run: sudo shutdown -r now and it will reboot, if that's what you mean? [09:09] ActionParsnip: I mean to see verbose, not a splash [09:10] robotdevil: try pressing ESC during boot, plymouth should hide and you can watch the boot, the same text is present in: dmesg | less if the system boots fully [09:11] belyle, your email service will need to allow you to access your email. Then you just sign into it through a program. [09:11] Hi to everyone [09:14] Ok, as I mentioned we have DSL with dynamic IP's, so I registered a DynDNS account, obviously I will have to configure something on the 12.04 (a client of sorts) ... so do I then ask DynDNS to keep the mail intended for the domain "rubinconza.dyndns.org" with them, then A) push it down to the my box, or B) Set a program up to retrieve the mail from them? [09:14] Does anyone know how to change the icon theme on 12.04 while running Cinnamon? [09:16] schreber: Dunno if Ubuntu Tweak will do the trick, since Cinnamon is a GNOME Shell port [09:16] i am a absolutely newcommer and need some help to bring V12.04 onto my old PC. Every try to install it from cdrom fails at the end with "Unrecovarable Error" and dies (allmost) [09:16] zombifier: I was thinking that might be the trick but thought best to ask before attempting. [09:16] ebe_dh, laptop or desktop? [09:17] ebe_dh, how far into the installation does it bomb? [09:17] Another odd question I like the theme kfaenza as opposed to the standard, if you want to call it that, faenza theme is there anyway to get it to work under gnome/cinnamon? [09:17] ActionParsnip, hi buddy i need ur help about my wireless card. every time i start my laptop, to enable my wireless card i need to pass a command in terminal i.e. sudo modprob b43. can you please let me know how to avoid this [09:17] it is Desktop and the install runs allmost to the end... [09:18] Wishing_Master: echo "b43" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules > /dev/null [09:18] ActionParsnip, what will this do? [09:18] ebe_dh, if I can make a suggestion, try installing without selecting any of the Servers apart from SSH [09:19] schreber: cinnamon isn't supported here [09:19] Wishing_Master: add the word 'b43' to the /etc/modules file, it will then be loaded at boot [09:20] ActionParsnip: I suppose there is a #cinnamon for such things then, right? [09:21] schreber: perhaps, or you could join the mint channel, they use cinnamon [09:21] belyle, how does it work [09:22] * kecer hi [09:23] I'm a ubuntu nub myself, but from what I've seen (this morning @ 03:00) near the end of the installation it asks you which servers you want to install, I de-selected everything apart from the OpenSSH server ... did you get to that part? [09:23] and, to answer your question, the OpenSSH will make it possible for you to use putty and ssh into the box (if you are a skint South African like me and dont have a screen for you box) :D [09:25] ActionParsnip, i have added the b43 module in the modules file, i am going to reboot now to check, thanks to you in advance. [09:25] belyle: No sofar i didnt com! The setup works pretty long on HD, ask some questions, latest for my picture...then brings error message [09:27] oh crap, sorry mate, I was on about 12.04 server not desktop [09:27] sorry [09:28] Won't be able to help you on Desktop, mine installed A-OK first time around [09:28] ActionParsnip, i have rebooted and it works gr8 [09:28] the last error is "/usr/bin/ubiquti-dm" [09:28] weebee Wishing_Master, did it work? [09:28] awesome :) [09:28] Did you try and google the output ebe_dh ? [09:29] ActionParsnip, there was another entry in modules files i.e. ls [09:29] ActionParsnip, whats that for?

When I click escape it says timeout: killing '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sdb1' [496] [09:40] ActionParsnip, could I run postfix as a "Internet Site" if I have a dynamic IP address linked to a country domain like rubiconza.co.za (I want my server to pull mail from my ISP in this case, Web-Africa) or do I have to chose "Internet with smarthost" ?

[09:44] morko: not sure why tbh, I guess you could do it with apt-get [09:45] Jragon: hold shift at boot, press E to (e)dit the boot and add it on the same line as: quiet splash [09:45] can anyone tell me how to get a static IP for my server?? [09:46] What do you mean by Static IP? Internet one that can be accessed anywhere in the world or local IP? like 192.168.1.2 [09:46] ActionParsnip, thank you. i will use apt-get then. i don't understand why the community documentation tells you to install tasksel first. [09:47] pungi-man: you can contact your provider. Alternatively you can get a dydns / noip account then the a name can be used and the IP will be mooted [09:47] pungi-man, public static or local static (on your machine self) - if on your machine self then try checking out the file /etc/network/interfaces [09:47] morko: I'd go with it if it was me, probably some reason but I'd imagine both ways are ok [09:48] belyle, public static [09:48] then what ActionParsnip said :) [09:48] pungi-man then it would need to be your ISP or use a dynamic IP through dyndns or noip :) [09:48] pungi-man: I have a noip account so I don't have to know my IP, just as you don't have to know the IP of the pages you visit [09:48] ;_; [09:49] ActionParsnip: umm... [09:49] i actually wanted to set up a web server....so what will I need to set it up....i have coded the site....i just want to put the site online [09:49] ActionParsnip: Holding shift at the boot menu for the live cd doesn't do anything, nor does shift+e. [09:49] pungi-man: apache2 for example [09:49] pungi-man: then port forward on your router and it will be accessible [09:49] !bootoption | Jragon [09:49] Jragon: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. [09:49] i have install LAMP server [09:50] ActionParsnip, how to so that?? I am actually new to servers [09:50] hi [09:50] pungi-man, do the port forward on your router [09:50] Jragon: you do know there are lots of websites explaining boot options on the internet.... [09:50] pungi-man: http://www.no-ip.com/ use that site, to setup the hostname for the site. if you need to use your own domain name you may need to use dyndns. [09:50] pungi-man: do you know about your router firewall? [09:50] pungi-man: you'll need your router manual and access the web based config page [09:51] pungi-man: well, that's not really a firewall, but a port forwarder, just open your port (80) to your local ip [09:51] mf|laptop: why dydns for a domain name? noip provides domain names too... [09:51] pungi-man: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServersBehindNAT should help with that. I was not aware noip provide domain names ActionParsnip. [09:52] With the router, I would reccomend getting out the instructions that came with it if unsure. Or googling the model online and adding port forwarding to the end of the search.

After trying that it still gives the same error [09:57] !nomodeset | Jragon [09:57] Jragon: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

[10:00] i now have to call up to their call centre [10:01] Is there a version of chromium for Ubuntu which is not insecure out of the box? [10:01] pungi-man, the router should probably have somekind of reset button that resets it to the factory configuration [10:02] pungi-man, but then you have to configure your internet again [10:02] fasta: chromium-browser in the repos is available... [10:02] ActionParsnip: and that's version 18. [10:02] fasta: yes [10:02] ActionParsnip: everything before some version 19 is insecure. [10:02] i have the reset button but i fear that it may spoil the settings [10:02] i think i will break my system after adding Gimp ppa in oneiric, is any alternative to get gimp 2.8 work in oneiric, sir? === bashy is now known as bashywash === bashywash is now known as bashyy [10:02] pungi-man, yeah it will "spoil" the settings [10:03] fasta: then I suggest you report a bug so it can be updated, mark it as a security risk [10:03] sorry delete it!! [10:04] I am looking for a software for image to text converter in linux but cant find one? [10:04] pungi-man, but if you are sure that the default password is admin and it is not working then that is your only option [10:04] hi [10:04] i will try [10:04] pungi-man, then you will have to configure it again. [10:04] hope everything will work fine!! [10:04] metalguy: image to ASCII?

[10:06] fasta: what is this vulnerability you are so petrified of anyway? [10:07] pungi-man, yea.. if you don't know how to configure it then better leave it for someone else because then you maybe loose your internet [10:07] ActionParsnip: well, it's a fairly involved one, so likely no problem; still, I don't like to run software which is already known to be broken. [10:07] ActionParsnip: it has been in the news. [10:07] GOT IT [10:07] fasta: with 369 bugs (as you say), its quite broken apart from the issue you know of. [10:07] pungi-man, or search your isp instructions for configuring the router [10:08] pungi-man, and also the routers own manual [10:08] good idea....but will not change my duniya [10:08] How can I set a bash script which is called on every logout ?

I have a problem: animation in system is not fluent (but It used to be) it's slow in both applications and system itself [11:39] But in Windows I could tell it which devices were allowed to wake [11:39] ubuntu 12.04 is the slowest version of ubuntu, apt-get upgrade has taken me through the longest wait ever as it unpacks a 200MB upgrades. I have never experienced such delays in ubuntu, 11.10 on this machine was waorking smoothely so dont even thick of pointing your finger to my hardware specs. Wonderring why this steady move to poor performance, COZ CANONICAL COULD LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THIS UNITY SHIT. Thats it! Good bye ubu [11:39] I have a AMD phenom II 955 processor, two years old samsung hdd, 2 gigs of ram and ATi HD4850 [11:40] nmvictor: bye then. But, I still wonder why your Internet speed has something to do with your system's speed. [11:40] nmvictor: If you want a more lightweight Ubuntu edition, give Xubuntu or Lubuntu a go. Xubuntu is a good choice if you miss GNOME 2, it's similar. Then again, if you just want GNOME, install gnome-shell, remove Unity, problem solved. [11:40] zombifier: He's complaining about install times, not download [11:41] oh [11:41] Then again, dpkg never really was "fast" in any way so I can't quite see the problem [11:41] He's gone [11:41] Before you could reply [11:41] Ah well then. [11:42] Oh well. People who rants without figuring out it's either their own problem or Canonical's are not welcomed anyway. [11:42] What the differences between them? [11:42] This is technical support channel [11:42] Why rant here? [11:42] Just dumb [11:42] One word: Troll. [11:43] Eh stop it guys, you're just feeding the (now gone) troll, let's resume the normal support routine shall we? [11:43] Does anyone know how I would tell Ubuntu not to let keyboard and mouse wake it from sleep? [11:43] That's what I used to do in Windows [11:43] I think it's worth trying [11:43] windywoo: i'd try in bios first [11:44] There are very few options in the BIOS [11:44] This is a netbook [11:44] windywoo: OK [11:44] He (?) is right, though.

Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [11:46] Blackshirt: Wrong channel, probably. The syntax for ubottu to send factoids to another user is "!factoid | person" (in-channel) or "!factoid > person" (in PM). [11:46] Hello folks! [11:47] where is nginx config file saved in ubuntu 11.10? [11:48] SKullB0x: you could try a 'sudo updatedb' then 'locate nginx' [11:48] Could someone help me to figure out how to change my user password on Ubuntu please? I've tried to go through the main Users Control Panel but it doesn't accept a simple password, just a complex one. [11:48] hi [11:48] ufrgs: sudo passwd usernameyouwanttochange [11:48] ufrgs: sudo passwd USERNAME for any user, or simply "passwd" (for current user) [11:49] Ok, thank you guys! [11:49] How do I figure current user? [11:49] who did you login as? ;) [11:49] Which command? [11:49] terminal - the 'whoami' command [11:49] whoami [11:49] Ok, thank you! ;) [11:50] Got beaten :P [11:50] ufrgs: echo $USER [11:50] ...geez, what's the point of a separate command for that... Oh well [11:50] im thinking that theres times when you are su'd or sudo'd the 2 may differ. [11:51] but i just barely recall reading/seeing that once. it may have been some other oddball case === ss is now known as Guest30993 [11:51] whoami man page --> Print the user name associated with the current effective user ID. Same as id -un. [11:51] perl -e 'print $<' # Seems to work with sudo, su, and normal login :P [11:52] Surely someone here is an expert on suspend? [11:52] id -un prints the same thing. ;P [11:52] But that's just my weird habit to make up complicated simplicity [11:53] theadmin, where echo $USER came from? [11:53] Both works just fine. [11:53] $whatever are system varianbles [11:53] variables [11:53] thanks LinuxMonkey theadmin [11:53] ufrgs: $USER is an environment variable containing the username [11:53] try 'set' to see them all ;) [11:53] :^) cool, always learning. [11:54] I may be thinking of EUID vs UID for effective User Id. [11:54] i forget how/when the EUID and UID differ. === systemu is now known as qwerasdfzxcv [11:54] set | less [11:54] set | more [11:54] if you don't want it to fill your screen [11:54] ;P [11:55] "more"? Seriously? People still use that? lol [11:56] hi guys [11:56] i have patched using patch -p0 -f < 1.6.2.0-1.7.0.0.diff [11:56] how can i reverse the patch (undo) ? [11:57] hello everyone [11:57] theadmin: you get it for free with such tools as whoami. [11:57] Privaaaaaa!!!!! [11:57] MagePsycho: -R [11:57] patch -p0 -R < 1.6.2.0-1.7.0.0.diff ? [11:57] theadmin: it would likely be better to split up all those tools and provide a meta package containing less instead of more. [11:57] fasta: I know that much, but same applies for "less". Which is more functional [11:57] MagePsycho: yes [11:57] theadmin: yes, I also don't use it; I'd say it's obsolete. [11:57] thanks geirha [11:58] fasta: "more" can be useful if /usr failes to mount for whatever reason -- it's located in /bin [11:58] theadmin: why not put less in /bin then? [11:59] fasta: Heh, good point, but I'm not sure if you can just copy it over [11:59] theadmin, you realize they are the same binary right? [12:00] escott: What are? [12:00] less == more? nope [12:00] Just testing if I'm still here [12:00] I am unable to open a lot of websites in Ubuntu 12.04.

[12:01] theadmin, ohh nevermind i just saw that /usr/bin/less was symlinked to /bin/less and read it as /bin/more [12:01] escott: less and more aren't: diff $(which less) $(which more) # Binary files /bin/more and /usr/bin/less differ [12:01] theadmin: less is already on /bin [12:01] Hi, ubuntu is only allowing me to pick "Point-to-Point Tunelling Protocol (PPTP) when connecting to VPN [12:01] fasta: Hm, odd, not in my case, guess that's Ubuntu-specific [12:01] sulaiman: You need to install other VPN plugins: sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn # And such [12:01] hi, how to add a custom entry for windows in grub's custom.cfg? windows is not recognized anymore, and due to a mistake old custom.cfg with simple windows entry was deleted.

[12:03] My cool cat :) [12:03] alphanoop: That's not an Ubuntu question to be honest. [12:03] pikkachu I think you need to type gksu gedit etc/default/grub [12:03] Then add the entry for Windows there [12:03] Then sudo update-grub [12:04] I don't really know what the entry should be =( [12:04] theadmin: sorry [12:04] alphanoop: searching on google for "how to create a website" should tell you that.

I had Googled, but there is a lot of information for a beginner. I was looking for a recommended place to start [12:06] Dunno, but anything with LAMP and Ubuntu in it is good [12:06] alphanoop: Try #ubuntu-offtopic (it still ain't an Ubuntu question) [12:06] I am unable to open a lot of websites in Ubuntu 12.04.

[12:07] hello [12:07] Hard to tell if it's related to your ISP or Ubuntu itself [12:07] Hi I am trying to wipe my hard drive with zero's just to learn how to do it, I am using an old computer so if it blows up it's not a loss. I am using Ubuntu 7.04 on a Pentium 4 which is ....Slow..... I tried this and its saying permission denied? ( http://www.marksanborn.net/howto/wiping-a-hard-drive-with-dd/ ) Help [12:08] I use dhcp so the dns is assigned by the ISP [12:08] could you please tell me how to stream mp3 from my ubuntu desktop [12:08] BlueWolf: you need to be root. [12:08] BlueWolf: You need admin priviliges. Try appending sudo to the beginning [12:08] BlueWolf, you won't be able to wipe it while you have it mounted [12:08] BlueWolf: for i in /dev/sd* ; do sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=$i ; done [12:08] Bluewolf I would use dban boot and nuke [12:09] ddave_: depends on what sort of client you want listining to the streams [12:09] windywoo: I want to learn how to Zero it [12:09] okey dokey [12:10] ddave_: upnp/dlna servers like ushare, plex, mediatomb, or others can work well.. or a shoutcast server [12:11] tnx Dr_Willis could u give me some link?

[12:17] theadmin, sorry, newbie her [12:17] sulaiman: Well, pretty much. Try with PPTP, it *should* work [12:17] hello, is there any way how i can see CPU and GPU temps..? [12:18] theadmin: I put it in as this ( sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda ) but is not doing anything in the terminal, is it working? Or my Pentium 4 is very very slow, only 256MB of Ram? [12:19] BlueWolf: ...So you really have an IDE hard drive? Jeebus. Oh well, uh, if it appears to be "not doing anything" it's likely doing something. Linux normally is silent. [12:19] BlueWolf, it will just take a long time [12:19] is it ok to add webmin on 12.04 ? [12:19] nope [12:19] webmin is not "ok" on any platform === lun4tic is now known as DerUser [12:20] ikonia: any alternate solution ? [12:20] rabbi1: I sit on the harsh side of the fence that believes if you need to use a web interface to manage your machine, you really shouldn't manage the machine [12:20] how DNS resolving works in Ubuntu 12.04 ? [12:20] c0deMaster: in what respect ? === DerUser is now known as Developers === Developers is now known as lun4tic [12:21] ikonia: ok, will go with it ... [12:21] ikonia: That's a good one :) [12:22] *writes down* [12:22] theadmin: Ok just wait. I would rather practice on an old machine so that if it blows up then it's nothing to cry about. Yes it is an IDE hard drive unfortunately. Is the code correct that I entered ( sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda ) [12:22] Anyone in here familiar with the unity src? I just wanna know which files are responsible for the launcher [12:22] hi there, I just got a strange behaviour in Netstat when connecting to ICQ on Pidgin, I could see that "Send-Q" had a value of about 100 to 400 just when idling, then checked on Wireshark and only found the normal talk between PC and Router, but no real traffic to the ICQ server. Then Pidgin said that the connection to ICQ had timed out. can this be related? [12:22] BlueWolf: Looks right, yes. "hdXY" are IDE, "sdXY" are SATA, just so you know [12:22] <[NNUser]> what is my nickname? [12:22] Lunar_Lander: if the connection has timed out...there will be no traffic [12:23] [NNUser]: [12:23] ikonia, yeah, I mean that behaviour was before timing out [12:23] what should be the permission for my web folder, i have 755 now. and i am unable to edit file..... [12:23] rabbi1: permissions will depend on how your machine is setup and what application is requesting what [12:23] like if Pidgin tried to contact the server, ikonia [12:23] ok [12:23] rabbi1: That looks right, and you need to be root. Well, or you can 777 it and give everyone access. Or add yourself to the group the folder belongs to and make it 775 [12:23] fixed [12:23] BlueWolf, if the /dev/hda is the correct device then its correct. if hda is wrong you are creating a giant file of zeros in your /dev [12:24] Lunar_Lander: well, it's probably timed out because there is no data in that situation [12:24] i was NNUser [12:24] [12:24] theadmin: Ya I know. looks like it's working. It's only a 40GB hard disk. It's ancient I know - My first computer :D [12:24] :D [12:24] ill1cit: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:24] ikonia, yeah, that might be. that also seems to be the most "technical" solution/answer, as malware can't be the reason there [12:25] ikonia, starting from hitting enter in the browser to open URL, I want to know the whole flow regarding bind, resolvconf etc.. [12:25] Lunar_Lander: I have no idea why you are referencing malware. [12:25] theadmin: 775 is better [12:25] theadmin: Are you going to be on here for a while? I will let you know when something happens. Its it going to not do anything until it's done? [12:25] ikonia, ah I was a windows user 2000-mid-2011, then switched to ubuntu, still haven't fully adjusted in that respect, sorry [12:25] c0deMaster: normal dns requests are application -> libresolv -> query/lookup -> libresolv -> back to application [12:26] c0deMaster: however ubuntu 12.04 has added dnsmasq into the mix, which makes it a little more complex [12:26] Lunar_Lander: again, from a windows perspective, I have no idea why you reference malware [12:26] ikonia, yeah thats what i want to know about dnsmasq and the whole flow [12:26] BlueWolf: I dunno how long I'm going to be here. But it looks like it's working so I wouldn't bother worrying [12:27] c0deMaster: basically application -> libresolv -> dnsmasq -> lookup -> libresolv -> applications. [12:27] ikonia, ah ok, I always thought that strange traffic could be a sign of something being wrong, thus I mentioned that [12:28] ikonia, where in the configuration file I can configure that so I can skip dnsmasq for example or disable resolvconf from updating DNS servers ? [12:28] if i say "sudo chmod 777 folder" will it add the permission to entire folders and subfolders and files of just the root folder ? [12:28] theadmin: But how do I actually know it's not saying anything in the terminal. The courser is just flashing with my code above it? But the light is flickering. [12:28] c0deMaster: well, resolv.conf is referencing 127.0.0.1 which is bascially dnsmasq, so disabling it there would be a good move, you can simpley remove dnsmasq [12:29] rabbi1: No, it will just set permissions to the folder itself, add -R for recursion [12:29] BlueWolf: Eh, your $PS1 will appear as soon as it's done [12:29] theadmin: thx [12:30] theadmin: Ok I'll be waiting. Thanks man. :D === chantcyr__ is now known as Cyroul [12:30] rabbi1, and recursively setting files and folders to 777 is probably not what you want (you probably only want to set files to 666) [12:30] thanks ikonia , btw: whats the purpose of the dnsmasq? [12:31] I was wondering the same thing [12:31] c0deMaster: as I understand it the reason ubuntu put it in was to help with vpn dns resolution outside the vpn connection, personally I think it's a waste/overkill, but there maybe more reasoning beyond that [12:31] rabbi1, so you it might be better to use a chmod o+w or use find to distinguish between files and folders [12:31] I heard that dnsmasq may reduce the security of your system, since it opens your system to DNS based attacks [12:32] escott: permissions of folder will vary a large on the folders, but to go as of now, i think i am okay with 666 or 777 [12:32] ikonia, i cant find any configuration files for dnsmasq [12:32] c0deMaster: why are you looking for dnsmasq config ? [12:32] ikonia, to get to it more and try to optimize it [12:33] optimise it ? [12:33] overdub: what are you talking about optimize it ? [12:33] ...How can you "optimize" DNS resolution? [12:33] tune it [12:33] overdub: sorry, that was meant for c0deMaster [12:33] dnsmasq has almost nothing to tune [12:33] c0deMaster: what do you mean tune it, what are you referencing ? [12:33] ssta, ikonia set the dns servers that used by dnsmasq [12:34] c0deMaster: it IS the dns server [12:34] basically it slaves requests for stuff it didn't allocate to the real nameserver...it only serves itself stuff that it has allocated [12:35] ssta: best description I've seen, nice [12:35] ikonia, i mean where it requests name resolution from outside name servers [12:35] it's really only useful if you want to dhcp up a lan and have the systems be able to resolve each other. Otherwise, it's not really good for much [12:35] ssta: I agree, it's a pointless implementation [12:36] ssta, so resolvconf is responsible for communicating with real DNS servers? === alFReD is now known as Guest87188 [12:36] ikonia: oh, I dunno...I find it *very* useful. If it's the thing you need exactly, then it's a good implementation of that thing. It's just not a general purpose nameserver [12:37] ssta: but it's such a small group who need that function, it seems overkill to put it into the solution as defualt [12:37] ikonia: it's installed by default on ubuntu these days?! [12:37] whose bright idea was that? [12:37] ssta: 12.04 it's the default resolver [12:37] hello, is there any way how i can see CPU and GPU temps..? [12:37] seriously?

[12:49] escott, I use it only few months and still with default view [12:49] oh, it still works [12:49] vlt: As far as I recall, right-click the device in Nautilus and choose "Unmount" [12:49] hm... [12:51] can some1 please do the following: oben gedit, type some letters, mark them, press middle mousebutton [12:52] Benkinooby: why? [12:52] theadmin: The context menu in Nautilus only offers something I’d translate to “eject” and “remove safely”. [12:53] Benkinooby: Don't know about gedit (don't want that monstrousity on my system), but works fine in gvim... Then again I'm not on Ubuntu atm, guess that's not helpful [12:53] vlt: Eh... Well... uh... Try them both and see which it is [12:53] theadmin: Already did that. And then the device node /dev/sdX was gone. [12:54] theadmin: In both cases. [12:54] vlt: Weird nautilus is weird. I suggest you use "pmount" to mount devices as an unpriveleged user, it seems to work nicely and at least makes sense [12:55] theadmin: Is there a pumount command? I want to unmount it.

Anybody know why this won't seem to fetch any .xls files? wget -m http://survivalware.wordpress.com/ -A xls [13:06] Benkinooby, Perhaps the "middle-button copy" was part of a gedit plug-in or some such that has been removed, reconfigured? [13:06] Benkinooby: it's a known bug in gtk/gedit. See #81009 [13:06] Sidewinder, hm... i am not sure it ever copied the way i described... [13:06] Sidewinder, it just now came to my attention that it does not [13:07] >:o [13:07] well, "bug" to most people...to the gnome maintainers it's probably a "feature" [13:07] Sidewinder, otherwise the middle-mouse-button-copy works as expected [13:08] Benkinooby, Well, in the grand scheme of things, I can think of worse malfunctions.. [13:08] Sidewinder, nah.. i just waned to chekc if i misconfigured something (because i never noticed that beahviour before) [13:09] you guys HAVE to help me [13:09] there is NO OTHER WAY [13:09] ssta how can i view that bug...

[13:21] escott, i changed sshd_config file to my custom port [13:21] stars69: if you're using a different port, you have to tell ssh what port to use: ssh -p 1234 user@host [13:21] stars69, you may have changed the server but you forgot to tell the client. make the appropriate modifications to ~/.ssh/config [13:21] ssta, thanks [13:21] stars69: the client doesn't know what port you are using [13:23] ssta, and escott got it thanks [13:23] SPhcT, and i dont know what guis are out there [13:27] escott, i find one.. :) psensor it is ok..

[13:58] BlueWolf, are you sure you did this from the livecd. what does /etc/passwd say [13:58] 12.04 is AWESOME! [13:58] Does anyone know why I wouldn't be able to connect to this wireless network? [13:58] willdabeast, yes, that is definitely enough information to help you [13:59] escott: It does not say anything what I have typed is all there is. And I don't know what your asking for. Yes I did this from a live cd [13:59] BlueWolf, cat /etc/passwd [13:59] dadis so u really think all it is is an update? [14:00] willdabeast, i think you should see if you can connect to other networks and go from there [14:00] Hey I wondered whether it is possible to only show the windows that are used in the current workspace in the sidebar instead of all the windows from all the ws's [14:01] dadis I can, I'm at another house right now though. === lizzin is now known as Guest9305 [14:01] willdabeast, can you see it in the network list? [14:01] escott: Do I type it. It says nothing. It does nothing [14:01] BlueWolf, how about ls / [14:02] dadis yea, I thought it was just an issue because the option to make it WPA Personal was not available, but I went to edit connections and made it WPA Personal but it didn't fix it. [14:02] escott: Bash: /: Is a directory [14:04] BlueWolf, i have no idea what is going on. my suspicion is that you didnt do this from a livecd and that you no longer have a filesystem [14:04] I can't find it anywhere on google apart from https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/683170 which doesn't give a solution [14:04] Launchpad bug 683170 in unity (Ubuntu) "should be possible to display only windows from the current workspace in the launcher" [Wishlist,Won't fix] [14:04] willdabeast, change it to WEP temporarily on the router and see what happens [14:04] escott: I did do it from a live CD, I am still in the live CD now??? [14:05] BlueWolf, but you dont seem to have anything except the kernel and what is in memory [14:05] dadis I can't unfortunately, it's not my house haha, sorry I make it difficult. [14:05] escott: I'm sure you know more than me at the moment? [14:07] escott: Should I reboot into the Live CD? [14:08] BlueWolf, i guess. i cant say what got you into this situation, but your OS doesnt seem to exist anymore [14:10] escott: Thats kind of what I wanted, I just want to be sure that it is unrecoverable. Is it or can a super hacker get to it? [14:10] BlueWolf, no i mean what you booted doesnt seem to exist anymore. all you seem to have is what you loaded into memory. [14:11] [14:11] escott: Now what? [14:11] BlueWolf, maybe the livecd wrote its rootfs out to the swap space on the hda, and then when you zeroed that out you zeroed out the swap. astounding that didnt cause a panic [14:12] escott: Interesting, I have no clue how to get it to do what I want though? [14:12] BlueWolf, just reboot already [14:12] olaa [14:13] hi guys......when i do cmake ...it can't find irrlicht which is present in /usr/include/ and hence compiling results in error [14:13] any suggestion [14:13] eii [14:13] escott: Into the live CD again or to see what happens? [14:13] kiilloooo [14:13] still can't find a possible way to only show the workspace related windows in the unity bar [14:13] f [14:13] a [14:13] k [14:13] Does anyone here use Ubuntu One / u1sdtool?

I think there is the name 'lock' in it.. if someone remember please :) [14:24] escott: So did it wipe the Hard disk with zero's as intended or did some miracle appear to sabotage it? [14:24] escott: And it has loaded the Live CD. What next? [14:24] can anynody help me [14:25] is there a way i can boot in safe video mode or something [14:25] and then download nvidia drivers [14:26] BlueWolf, you are doing this to test because you want to learn how to do something. an unexpected thing came up. I've told you what i think happened, but if you want to figure out more you need to figure it out [14:26] gapagos, there is a nomodeset option as well as a recovery boot option (which includes nomodeset) [14:26] !nomodeset | gapagos [14:26] gapagos: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

[14:29] BlueWolf, so look some of the things i am telling you up, or ask a more specific question. don't ask "did it work" because im not going to answer that [14:29] BlueWolf, you don't learn with that [14:30] escott: Ok what should I look up then?

[14:35] hi all, can you install ubuntu onto your windows based system without having to intall microsoft win? and what is the difference between 32bit and 64bit (my pc is 64bit) [14:35] gapagos, /etc/default/grub is just a set of parameters for the script update-grub which scans the hard drive for bootable OSes and kernels and generates /boot/grub/grub.cfg [14:35] gapagos: Can you access the windows partition from inside linux? [14:35] NTx00100: linux is an operationg system. No windows needed at all. [14:35] NTx00100: boot the cd.. install. and id go 64bit on 64bit hardware [14:35] Anyone can tell me on which channel I can ask /discuss conky themes/issues? [14:35] but i get bad fstab [14:35] I have just recently Wiped a 40GB IDE hard disk with Zeros on Ubuntu 7.04 by entering this code ( sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda ) now this is what it's telling me ( dd: writing to /dev/hda' No space left on device ) ( 78242977+0 records in ) ( 78242976+0 records out ) ( 40060403712 bytes (40GB) copied, 2825.25 seconds, 14.2 Mb/s [14:35] sandyd, from the liveCD yes I can access the windows partition [14:36] !alis | Djuropedala [14:36] Djuropedala: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels.

Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [14:36] Thanks Dr_Willis [14:36] Djuropedala: conky homepage and forums have 1000s of examples and guides [14:36] gapagos: try running update-grub from your Ubuntu installation [14:36] does it run better on 32Bit then? [14:36] Thank you. :D [14:36] sandyd, i can't boot ubuntu outside of LiveCD [14:36] the video shuts off [14:37] gapagos: The LiveCD grub menu does not contain Windows. [14:37] Hello [14:37] anyone.... ? [14:37] gapagos: I sugggest you try using nomodeset while booting. [14:37] Gatekeeper__: whats your fstab entry look like? [14:38] my fstab entry is //192.168.0.20/02-Television Series /mnt/tv cifs uid=server,user=xbmc,password=xbmc 0 0 [14:38] sandyd I still dont undersand how to use nomodset while booting [14:38] is there anybody from russia? [14:38] Gatekeeper__: tip #1 - dont use spaces in share names.. it will cause issues. [14:38] !ru | jan_ [14:38] jan_: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [14:38] Gatekeeper__: if you Must. I Belive you replace the space with somnthing like \040 (i have to look it up all the time) [14:38] escott: So it has successfully zeroed the hard disk? - (Yes/No) === lu` is now known as lubmil [14:39] BlueWolf, it wrote 40GB at 14.2 Mb/s. was the disk 40GB? yes. were all the records that were read also written (in vs out)? yes. is the disk out of space? yes. is it done? yes [14:39] lelamal,are you fromm russia? [14:39] jan_: no [14:39] http://opensuse.swerdna.org/susesambacifs.html#escape how it should look. [14:40] Dr_Willis: ive tried //192.168.0.20/020-0Television0Series /mnt/tv cifs uid=server,user=xbmc,password=xbmc 0 0 but still no luck [14:40] /192.168.44.100/music\040library [14:40] gapagos: When you get to grub (i.e. booting from the computer, not the livecd) by pressing shift after booting, press 'e' at the kernel entry. Add a space, and then 'nomodeset' (no quotes) at the end of the line that starts with 'linux' [14:40] Gatekeeper__: as i said.. You replace the space with the proper 'escape code' or fix the share on the shares server to not have a space. [14:40] gapagos: And this will be helped better on the forums. [14:40] Dr_Willis: sorry for my ignorance what is the propper escape code... ? [14:40] sandyd ok ill try that [14:40] thanks [14:41] Gatekeeper__, presumably "\ " [14:41] see above examples Gatekeeper__ . [14:41] escott: not for fstab :) [14:41] I have a problem with installing software on ubuntu 10.10. I don't know how to install programs form tar.gz packages. can anyone help me? [14:41] jan_: totally depends on whats in the tar.gz [14:41] NTx00100: is there already windows on that machine? do you want to kkep ti to have the choice to boot win or linux? [14:41] !compile | jan_ [14:41] jan_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall [14:41] *keep it [14:41] Dr_Willis: what about the - between 02 - Television will that be a problem...? [14:42] Gatekeeper__: any spaces need to be fixed.. I dont use spaces in share names.. I suggest you follow that guideline. makes life much easier [14:42] thank you,guys [14:42] Dr_Willis, and it has to be octal. thats annoying. although not as annoying as file/foldername with spaces in it [14:42] escott: Thank you thats all I wanted to know, now how do I write over the entire drive with random data like it says on the site? ( sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda ) [14:42] escott: yep. I have to look this up about once a month. :) [14:42] cool thanks... [14:43] hi. I never had ati/amd cg so is an (agp) ATI Radeon X800XL will work with 12.04 ? with which driver ? and how well ? [14:43] hello =) [14:43] BlueWolf, that would read from /dev/urandom the unblocking random number generator and write to /dev/hda [14:44] pseudo-random* [14:44] * Dr_Willis dosent really see the point in randomizeing to hda [14:45] * solsTiCe recommands frandom over urandom. if it's available in ubuntu [14:46] escott: Huh? Do I type in that code? [14:46] BlueWolf, im getting really tired of questions like that [14:47] escott: Yes/No [14:47] ??? [14:47] BlueWolf, i'm adding you to my ignore list. goodluck [14:48] solsTiCe, what package is that? [14:49] no idea [14:49] solsTiCe, b/c i dont have such a device [14:49] you need a module for that http://billauer.co.il/frandom.html [14:50] solsTiCe, ahhh missed the "if" in "if it's available in ubuntu" [14:50] and f is for fast cause if you want to wipe ALL the hdd you don't want to wait hours just for that [14:50] [14:50] escott: Listen I apologize if I have pissed you off, I don't know what to do - honestly. I can't help it if I an not a computer Nerd like everyone else on the net. Thats why I am trying to LEARN. :'( [14:51] ciao [14:51] BlueWolf: why are you even doing this ramdom dd stuff? [14:52] solsTiCe / escott : If it doesn't have a package, you can still build it from source. I had a quick google and it seems like people were having success with that. [14:52] How do I find out why it is taking me so long to login? [14:52] Badpenguin86: 12.04 or earlier? [14:52] 12.04 [14:53] had that problem in 11.10 with multi-user-login [14:53] escott,I am not a native speaker,so what does "piss off" mean?))) [14:53] [14:53] Dr_Willis: To learn how to Zero a Hard Disk, which looks like I have done, now all I need to do is ( sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda ) like it says on this site ( http://www.marksanborn.net/howto/wiping-a-hard-drive-with-dd/ ) [14:54] BlueWolf: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:54] hello [14:54] jan_: when someone gets "pissed off" it means that they are getting mad. [14:54] BlueWolf: and whats the point of doing all this? [14:55] gotcha) I'll put it down. thanks,IsmRainbow [14:55] we have had this debate in here befor about how to properly erase a hd. and how to just waste time. ;) [14:56] Dr_Willis: To learn. To remove data of a hard disk, May be I want to sell it sometime and I don't want my personal info to be accessed. Maybe I am paranoid. [14:56] jan_: additionally, if someone tells someone else to "piss off", it means "go away". Both phrases are impolite, since the term "piss" is often considered profane. [14:56] jan_, im not mad. just annoyed. i dont understand why people come into the channel and ask for help who aren't willing to make an effort [14:56] BlueWolf: if you have zeroed it.. basically its gone.. spending another hr+ radomizeing it.. is pointless. [14:57] jan_, so i dont waste my time on them [14:57] BlueWolf: and if you wanted to be the most 'secure' there are actual secuer deletion tools that would do a better job of it. [14:57] escott,I did not call you mad) [14:57] jan_: he's not saying you did. He was just clarifying off of my definition [14:58] BlueWolf: urandom x2 would be "secure" [14:58] Hello,everybody [14:58] escott: listen I am making an effort, when I say I don't know or how do I do that I mean it! [14:58] How to update my system [14:58] ? [14:59] Aspiration: desktop or server? [14:59] Aspiration: sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade ;) normally [14:59] desktop [14:59] Aspiration: use the update manager [14:59] IsmRainbow,is the phrase "kiss off" profane? [14:59] update manager should pop up about once a week [14:59] Dr_Willis: Ok then as a hacker how easy would it be to salvage that data? Could you give me a time line? [14:59] Aspiration: one of the icons on the left side should be called "Update Manager". It should automatically pop up once a week or so. [15:00] is it necessary? [15:00] Aspiration: no [15:00] Aspiration: updates are not necessary, no, but they are recommended. [15:00] BlueWolf: there MIGHT be possible for profesional data services to recover it.. but we had this debate in here befor. ages ago it might have been easier. but these days.. not very likely [15:00] they can fix things like bugs and security problems [15:00] and should I update to the latest version? [15:01] BlueWolf: if you are truely paranoid about security. you use a bulk eraser.. or a large hammer.... [15:01] Aspiration: could just comment out everything in sources.list except security updates [15:01] Aspiration, "should" is not a question we can answer very well. you "should" if you are !eol, but otherwise its up to you [15:01] bulk eraser - very very large magnet thing. :) [15:01] Aspiration: would make things less likely to break with updates [15:01] sorry,guys,if am getting on your nerves) but I've just encountered some phrase that I can't understand fully. [15:02] the phrase:"Ok then as a hacker" [15:02] please say this sentence in another way [15:02] jan_: kiss off" [15:02] jan_: wouldn't make much sense [15:02] jan_: ##english may be a better place and I think you need to provide more context [15:02] Dr_Willis: Are you talking about physically destroying the hard drive? Or using a magnet to destroy everything on it? [15:03] BlueWolf: both. :) if you really really want to be secure [15:03] bbl - gotta do some Honeydo jobs. [15:04] Dr_Willis, i used to throw my old drives into a blackhole but apparently even that isnt secure enough [15:04] escott: install AOL on them.. it will scare away anyone. [15:04] :) [15:04] :) [15:05] BlueWolf: no need to even pull urandom: dd /dev/zero over it is perfectly ok. this will then overwrite all magnetic islets with a standard "0". 20 or 25 years ago there would have been a minor risk that data could have been reconstructed in a very sophisticated lab from magnetic resisdue, however, with todays small magnetic domians on a hard disk even if there *was* residual magnetization it would disappear within no time due to having dropped [15:05] in area below the paramagnetic limit where a magnteized area is not suffuiciently stable to keep itself in order [15:05] escott: I thank you for your help, truely but your being an "idiot" now.

[15:17] numbie, more generally you cannot put more than 2^X bits of information on that disk. if the hidden volume didnt take up space from the real volume you could violate that information limit. so it would apply to truecrypt [15:18] nobody wants to answer on ##English server [15:19] i dont quite understand, im now creating a standard volume on my external... the whole disk , can i still make a hidden volume which does not damage my files [15:19] ?

[15:22] numbie, if you were to have a hidden volume, but use the normal volume (where the hidden is inside the free space of the normal volume) there would be no way for you to avoid potentially destroying the hidden volume. otherwise that would be a dead giveaway that the hidden volume exists [15:23] true :/ [15:23] Jacku, the admin pwd is your log in password. [15:25] I am trying to figure out why tail -F and tail -f isn't updating as the file changes. I'm only experiencing this on my lubuntu install atm. I tried #lubuntu but no one was around. Any ideas on how to debug the issue? [15:25] Hi everyone, I'm wondering where I could find the PulseAudio ALSA plugins for 32-bit? [15:25] theixle, what file? [15:26] Yes , I know that but when I wrote this log in passwd It says that passwd is wrong . Its very strange .. [15:26] escott, It's a log file with ansi color codes [15:27] Hey all. My brother asked me if there was such a program that would let him store food recipies and classify them. A short search on Software Center shows Krecipies, though it looks kinda old. Anyone knows if there's a better program or I should just install that one? [15:27] theixle, but its an actual file file not a pipe. [15:27] escott, correct, it's an actual file [15:28] theixle, unless whatever is writing the log is creating a new file it should work [15:28] Harmonium, programs named like that with a K, tend to mean its meant for another desktop than gnome. The KDE desktop. Or are you using Kbuntu?

[16:07] sudo -i simulates an initial login shell, so the environment variables as root's environment variables, root's login scripts as run, ~ is /root instead of /home/username [16:08] sudo -s is usually what you want, for a root shell -- it doesn't do those things, it's the sudo equivalent of running su and passing no arguments [16:09] and sudo su , may or may not do what sudo -i, or sudo -s does.. :) i belive is the core of the 'use sudo -s or -i not some other way' argument [16:10] Anyone help me with ubuntu install issue [16:10] k so nvm then haha, sudo -i does not keep the varibles [16:10] How do I install a bin file in Ubuntu>? [16:10] MShirley: if and only if you explain what the issue is [16:11] TPB_: usually it would be better to use a package, if existing, instead [16:11] TPB_: what bin exactly. Normally you dont want to use .bin installers [16:11] TPB_: what software are you trying to install? [16:11] TPB_: what .bin? [16:11] Adobe AIR. [16:11] LordOfTime - Installs nop problem, then when it boots i get a monitor out of range, and i cant work out how to solve it [16:11] Adobe AIR ^. [16:11] TPB_: used to be in canonical partner repos, maybe have a look there first? [16:11] is ubuntu.com offline? [16:11] I thought i saw an adobe air deb the other day. but I was also thinking adobe killed the air project.. i couldent find it to install last week [16:12] adobe does a lot of annoying things [16:12] Is it safe to download a torrent of the latest ubuntu [16:12] So what do I do? [16:12] TPB_: if it no longer is, then you can chmod +x the .bin file and then ./nameofthefile.bin [16:12] TPB_: do what Fuchs suggested: turn on the partners repository and check there [16:12] fwalder: No. [16:12] MShirley: boot the install disc, open a root shell [16:12] Fuchs: TPB_: I'm checking the precise partner repos now, standby [16:12] TPB_: i cant reach [16:13] TPB_: a .bin file you set executable then run it. [16:13] Alright. I'm hanging here. [16:13] I gotta write it down what i need to do, i dont have another computer in here to do it with [16:13] TPB_: chmod +x foo.bin, then sudo ./foo.bin [16:13] fwalder: Where are you trying to connect from? [16:13] switzerland [16:13] i have installed ssh and can ssh to the computer thought! [16:13] fwalder: Works fine from where I am. [16:13] MShirley: do that then [16:13] Yep [16:14] MShirley: nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg [16:14] yeah [16:14] I'm just checking the partner repos and someone suggested. [16:14] If that fails, I'll try to get the .bin installed. [16:15] Orukusaki: yes, just get it from the official Ubuntu tracker http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads / http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ (scroll down and get the .torrent file of whatever image you want) [16:15] Fuchs: TPB_: I don't see it in the partner repositories, you might have to install with the .bin. in the terminal: chmod +x /path/to/bin; sudo /path/to/bin [16:15] MShirley: go to line 46 "set gfxmode=auto" and change to "set gfxmode=text" [16:15] Nice, thank you [16:15] done [16:16] Adobe AIR could not be installed. Install either Gnome Keyring or KDE KWallet before installing Adobe AIR. [16:16] How do I do that? [16:16] MShirley: nano /etc/grub.d/00_header [16:16] !info gnome-keyring | TPB_ [16:16] TPB_: gnome-keyring (source: gnome-keyring): GNOME keyring services (daemon and tools). In component main, is optional. Version 3.2.2-2ubuntu4 (precise), package size 1340 kB, installed size 4028 kB [16:17] TPB_: you are using the normal ubuntu/unity? [16:17] Yeah. [16:17] try installing that gnome-keyring package mentioned above [16:17] MShirley: line 138 "set gfxmode=${GRUB_GFXMODE}" --> "set gfxmode=text" [16:17] wawowe: That appears to have circumvented the port-80 block I had to put up for scty reasons, I can now access updates (and hopefully new apps) without failures.. I knew there had to be a trick somewhere - just didn't know where. Thank you very much. [16:17] * Dr_Willis wonders why air needs those [16:17] MShirley: then reboot [16:17] lets see [16:17] Dr_Willis: That appears to have circumvented the port-80 block I had to put up for scty reasons, I can now access updates (and hopefully new apps) without failures.. I knew there had to be a trick somewhere - just didn't know where. Thank you very much. [16:18] * TPB_ thinks it's to steals people's passwords. [16:18] BA707: huh? i dont recall your issue. ;P [16:18] "gnome-keyring is already the newest version." The heck? [16:18] I'm looking for a php package that includes "Gzip support". Using Ubuntu 10.04. Do I get with default php5 package maybe? Thank you. [16:18] fwalder: Future reference, take a look at http://isup.me [16:19] ciao a tutti [16:19] Dr_Willis: Got the answer from Wawow. But your help with the sudo cmd was needed as well.. [16:19] Getting problems with PulseAudio [16:19] anyone knowing their stuff with it? [16:19] Does anyone happen to have a .deb for AIR, maybe? [16:19] TPB_: adobe's installer may be brain dead. [16:19] Alternatively, is it worth it installing and using JACK? [16:19] >.> [16:20] -back to updating- [16:20] * TPB_ would like to point out that Adobe folks are idiots. [16:20] list [16:20] * UidX just found out there is a DLL hijack vulnerability in Chrome [16:20] Orpheon: Jackd is designed for audio professionals, you have to route your audio flow... unless you are doing stuff in a studio or making music/sound. not worth it [16:20] TPB_: Perhaps just ignorant of the importance of anything other that microsoft ? [16:21] * TPB_ nods head. [16:21] I am making music sometimes, but I never tried doing it via routing audio flow [16:21] so ok [16:21] Alright - let me formulate this question.... Is there a command on the liveCD to install a minimal system? like installing the server from the desktop liveCD [16:22] * TPB_ needs Adobe AIR so he can install TweetDeck. [16:22] GNUGeist-ubulive: not that ive ever seen. [16:22] I found the link to ubiquity which is the gtk installer [16:22] GNUGeist-ubulive: unless you count some sort of debootstrap work. [16:22] --- ubuntu.com ping statistics --- [16:22] 87 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 86664ms [16:22] fwalder: Change DNS? [16:23] well, I'm willing to debootstrap if i can get a stable end product [16:23] GNUGeist-ubulive: theres talk of in the next release sort of combining the installers into one. [16:23] i will try [16:23] GNUGeist-ubulive: no, Ubiquity (the graphical installer) doesn't support that; this is supported only with debian-installer (the text-based installer) which is on the alternate CD [16:23] hmmm [16:23] GNUGeist-ubulive: i dont even know what your actual issue is. [16:23] haha [16:23] I'm on the desktop livecd and on a tiny lil netbook [16:23] I think unity might rape its poor lil' soul [16:23] GNUGeist-ubulive: just apt-get --purge remove ubuntu-desktop && apt-get --purge autoremove [16:24] The normal ubuntu desktop works fine on my Netbook. [16:24] theoretically you could install debian-installer inside a live system (you'd have to make a bigger RAMdrive for the root filesystem, probably) [16:24] and cross my fingers that apt doesn't rip its own heart out lol [16:24] GNUGeist-ubulive: after that install a different wm [16:24] GNUGeist-ubulive: i did it [16:24] GNUGeist-ubulive: been running ubuntu just fine on netbooks for several yeras now. [16:24] precisely my hope [16:24] fwalder: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 [16:24] righto :) [16:25] can you tell us the make, model, and specs of your netbook? that might enable us to give better recommendations as to what kind of desktop environment / Ubuntu flavor would work well [16:25] TPB_: might want to add level3 dns to that: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 4.2.2.4 [16:25] lol, I'd feel sheepish cuz its actually a nice one xD [16:25] TPB_: sometimes google's isnt up to date and level3's is :P [16:25] how to make custom distro from ubuntu installation iso image? [16:25] vimane: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [16:25] !remaster | vimane [16:25] vimane: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [16:25] installed wine and now, right click show me open with notepad can I change that to notepad++ [16:26] niiice :) thanks ubottu for the linkage [16:26] LordOfTime: Is it not really? [16:26] thank you [16:26] TPB_: i've also had instances where google dns dies :/ [16:26] Oh, okay. [16:26] * TPB_ might have found a solution for AIR for Ubuntu 12.04. [16:27] SPhcT: you can tell it to open with a custom command, and put in the path of the notepad++ executable [16:27] or find the notepad.exe and copy notepad++.exe to it. ;) or use a better text editor... [16:28] Hi [16:28] if the notepad++ executable is on a filesystem that doesn't support permissions, and it is mounted so that all files are marked not-executable, then you'll have to prepend wine (with a space after it) to the beginning of the notepad++ executable path [16:28] hi kubalicious [16:29] ... [16:29] i'm trying to install ubunut on my laptop, but after clicking on install, it's going to a black page and freezing there on "stopping enable remaining boot time encrypted block devices". [16:29] ubottu is a bot... isn't it [16:29] GNUGeist-ubulive: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:29] EliahKagan, but I also want remove open with notped, when i right click [16:29] What should I do ? [16:29] Are the nVidia drivers good now for 12.04? No more jerkiness? [16:29] SPhcT: the gnome nautilus settings/configs have that item in there somewhere. I forget where. if you want to remove it. [16:29] please I need help with this: http://markmail.org/message/6y4j7f7u6bvvve5f [16:30] TPB_: define "jerkiness" [16:30] LordOfTime: Graphical fuckupness and system instability. [16:30] SPhcT: /usr/share/applications/wine-notepad.desktop [16:30] list [16:30] !Alternate [16:30] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [16:31] !language | TPB_ [16:31] TPB_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [16:31] TPB_: the quailty of the nvidia or ati drivers seemto depend very mich on the exct version of the drivers/kernel and the card in use. [16:31] TPB_: i'm not using a recent nvidia card, but i've got the nvidia drivers on here, it works [16:31] and i agree with Dr_Willis [16:31] * TPB_ is confused. [16:31] My Midrange, not cutting edge nvidia cards/systems all work well [16:31] but if i went out today and bought the latest card that just came out yesterday.. id expect problems [16:31] Mine didn't at the time. [16:32] Nope didnt work. I guess ill have to go back to centos... JOY [16:32] MShirley: to do what? [16:32] wawowe, where is usr? [16:32] i'm trying to install ubunut on my laptop, but after clicking on install, it's going to a black page and freezing there on "stopping enable remaining boot time encrypted block devices". What should I do ? [16:32] what does it take to get ubuntu to stay in the default text mode until X starts? [16:33] SPhcT: /usr is located in /, which is the top of the filesystem [16:33] When installing programs i prefer to use Ubuntu Software Center. But what if I want to copy installed software to another Ubuntu machine? Where shall I look for installed software? Is there anything like "program files" folder in ubuntu? [16:33] I upgraded to Precise, and now my keyboard layout settings seem to have no effect; everything's stuck in the system keyboard setting. [16:33] BLZbubba: i normally use the options 'noquiet nosplash nofb' to grub. [16:33] plymouth needs to die [16:33] as a primary operating system [16:33] Guys: Is there the best way to install compiz settings in 12.04 without bringing some conflicts? [16:33] EliahKagan, yes figured that out.. :P [16:33] BLZbubba: nosplash = disables plymouth i belive [16:33] Dr_Willis: it still tries to do graphics with those options though doesn't it? [16:33] So, my GTX690 wouldn't work that well? :/ [16:33] BLZbubba: you mean starts up X? the text option makes it not start the Login manager [16:33] !text [16:33] 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 [16:33] Dr_Willis, nosplash doesnt do diddly to stop plymouth on any of my systems. il try nofb [16:34] escott: i was thinking its been changed in 12.04 but i havent trried it lately [16:34] Can somebody please answer me ? [16:34] Dr_Willis: nice, thanks I"ll try it [16:34] kubalicious: okay [16:34] MShirley: why's that [16:34] escott: used tobe i always used 'nosplash nofb verbose text' [16:34] CentOS isn't really intended for desktop use [16:34] i'm trying to install ubunut on my laptop, but after clicking on install, it's going to a black page and freezing there on "stopping enable remaining boot time encrypted block devices". What should I do ? [16:34] Dr_Willis, im not on 12.04 yet [16:34] Compiz problems please!!!!!!!!!!!!! [16:34] god i wish we could just "dpkg -r upstart plymouth" [16:34] chigy: you want some? [16:34] escott: no idea then. used to work. perhaps its the combo of the options [16:34] kubalicious: was just about to reply, sometimes it takes time because there's a lot going on in the channel [16:34] Cos i run a small hosting company, i use linux for everything there, and i dont mind useing it as a MS replacement. [16:34] BLZbubba: you can get rid of them, if that's what you mean [16:34] especially when im running limmited hardware [16:34] You can set the plymouth theme to be a text only theme.. somehow. [16:35] MShirley: edit grub.cfg again [16:35] kubalicious: did you MD5 test the .iso image and do "Check disc for defects" on the installation CD/DVD or USB flash drive? [16:35] EliahKagan : yeah I noticed, and thanks :D [16:35] Dr_Willis: do you do anything with the "linux_gfx_mode" ? [16:35] MShirley: CentOS _is_ meant for hosting, especially as a replacement for Windows Server [16:35] kubalicious: Have you checked the CD for integrity? If so, try the Alternate CD instead? [16:35] Dr_Willis, i use nosplash noplymouth and it doesn't work. i know i dont want text because i want the dm to come up. im just worried about nofb. i do want a framebuffer i just dont want plymouth to use it [16:35] Yeah!, I want some solutions. @ reisio [16:35] chigy: to what? [16:35] escott: ive never heard of the noplymouth option [16:35] Dr_Willis: i just want grub & linux to leave the system in the regular 80x25 mode until x starts [16:35] What does this do? sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0 sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 [16:35] hi guys my start button isnt visible it has shifted farther right how do i rectify it [16:35] i know what centos is. and what its for :) its runs all of my shared hosting paltfrom, all of my solusvm servers and its installed on all the dedicated servers aswell [16:36] escott: as far as i know - plymouth is not using the framebuffer. just the console is.. which i normally dont want [16:36] Dr_Willis, i saw it on a website next to the "pleasefortheloveofgoddontstartplymouth" option [16:36] TPB_: Assuming that's meant to be on two lines, or have a ; or an && in it, it creates two symlinks for libraries. [16:36] kubalicious: to check the CD for integrity as Darael suggested, see http://zootlinux.blogspot.com/2010/05/check-disc-for-defects-in-ubuntu-1004.html [16:36] EliahKagan : no, I just ran the install CD [16:36] Darael: Yeah, those were supposed to two lines. That somehow made the Adobe AIR installer work. [16:36] Reisio: I have tried to install it in 12.04 but it brings conflicts and removes the windows borders. [16:36] try doing the integrity check on the installation media [16:36] http://askubuntu.com/questions/122081/how-to-restore-plymouth-default-theme about all i know on the topc. :) [16:36] that may reveal the source of the problem [16:36] plymouth does a horrible job of choosing modes sometimes, and upstart fails silently quite often, there must be a way to just get rid of the 2 [16:37] chigy: which version? What's your graphics device? [16:37] EliahKagan, no wawowe sugestion isnt there [16:37] if that shows the installation media is bad, then do the MD5 test on the .iso to see if it was a bad download or a bad burn/write [16:37] Darael : I dowloanded the iso from ubuntu.com [16:37] nvidia gt 8400 [16:37] yeah, but the download can be corrupted regardless of the source, or there can be a problem writing/burning it [16:37] TPB_: Presumably it has hardwired library filenames (or paths) in it somewhere, and so symlinking the others in makes it pick them up. [16:38] Reisio: Nvidia cuardo....in Toshiba Tecra m5 [16:38] http://zootlinux.blogspot.com/2010/05/check-disc-for-defects-in-ubuntu-1004.html to check the CD/DVD/USB you created; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM to check the ISO file itself [16:38] Darael: Probably. Whatever it was, it did the trick. I just wanted to know what was it exactly. Thanks, anyways. [16:38] kubalicious: There's still the possibility of a corrupt download or a misburn - if it's giving trouble, it's always worth checking the integrity. Also see EliahKagan's lines. [16:38] TPB_: Are you familiar with symlinks? [16:39] oh another annoyance - why does ubuntu's "restart" choice only restart X and not reload the kernel [16:39] SPhcT: are you saying /usr/share/applications/wine-notepad.desktop isn't there? [16:39] BLZbubba: reload the kernel would be rebooting the whole machine [16:39] BLZbubba: It reboots the system for me. Sounds like a bug I had a while back; don't remember how I fixed it, though, sorry. [16:40] which restart are we talking about anysay? [16:40] <`prixon> is there a way to make super+D minimize all windows in 12.04 instead of ctrl+super+d? [16:41] `prixon: undoubtedly [16:41] Pricey: install the compizconfig-settings-manager package, run ccsm, and change the shortcut in the Show Desktop plugin. There's probably an easier way, mind. [16:41] bbl [16:41] `prixon: your name is yellow in XChat, a very popular IRC client; it's very hard to see the leading ` [16:41] <`prixon> yellow? because of the `? [16:42] <`prixon> I'm using xchat [16:42] <`prixon> reisio, why is my name yellow? [16:42] `prixon: no, XChat colorizes based on nickname length [16:42] Darael: Not quite. [16:42] `prixon: just to differentiate from other nicks [16:43] i'm using xchat and i don't see names with different colors [16:43] on a white background heh [16:43] its an option [16:43] I'm just saying, your nick is hard to type, regardless of its color, but especially because of its color [16:43] just is finding that punctuation is what makes it a hassle I think. `prixon [16:43] EliahKagan: well it's a pref [16:43] sounds like you know a solution to this problem then ;-) [16:43] just saying :p people will respond to you more if they can type your nick more easily :p [16:44] type ` and hit tab [16:44] TPB_: Right. It's basically a reference to a file somewhere else, that pretty much everything will treat just like the original file. A bit like a shortcut in Windows, if that helps, but rather better done. [16:44] its a eyesight filter.... [16:44] will ubuntu cd boot helper help me to boot ubuntu from usb ? [16:45] wawowe: That's not the problem; the issue is identifying that initial ` if it's yellow-on-white. Of course, some of us use light-on-dark terminal chat clients and don't have that problem ;) [16:45] Darael: Well explained. TY. [16:45] Darael: ok cool thanks [16:45] EliahKagan, yes but i find just notepad which opens with wine.. [16:46] Darael: you can change the yellow color in xchat... I'm just saying its not his issue, its your client's issue to display clearly [16:46] will ubuntu cd boot helper help me to boot ubuntu from usb ? [16:46] SPhcT: if you edit that .desktop file, you can change what application opens [16:47] ciao [16:47] EliahKagan, how can i edit it? [16:47] donvito, cd boot helper? [16:48] list [16:48] ubuntumarx_: no warez here :( [16:48] SPhcT: sudo nano /usr/share/applications/wine-notepad.desktop [16:48] GNUGeist-ubulive: that's part of it, certainly [16:49] xD [16:49] * GNUGeist-ubulive promises to keep quiet now [16:49] wawowe: sudo -e is marginally faster. Or sudoedit, for that matter. Also lets one keep one's own editor-settings. [16:50] donvito, so is the problem booting a usb? [16:50] wawowe, how i can find out notepad++ executable command? [16:51] SPhcT: change "Exec=notepad" --> "Exec=notepad++" [16:51] SPhcT: echo [16:51] why're you playign with notepad++? [16:51] well notepad.exe and notepad++.exe might not be located in the same directory [16:51] and how to change icon? [16:51] .... .exe? [16:52] try out geany, it's a lot like notepad++ but is cross platform [16:52] you won't have to learn another text editor for some time, possibly never [16:52] SPhcT: echo "alias notepad++='wine notepad++' ~/.bashrc; source ~/.bashrc [16:52] notepad and notepad++ are windows programs, they run with wine, they end in .exe === MoleMan is now known as MoleMan^Away [16:52] (.NET programs also end in .exe) [16:52] TweetDeck for Adobe AIR is 6x better than the native version on some platforms. [16:52] oh snap, context has been returned [16:53] wawowe: adding a bash alias won't change what happens outside the shell, e.g. in Nautilus [16:53] in that case [16:54] Just make a script: echo 'wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Notepad++/notepad++.exe $@' | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/npp [16:55] ok if i use geany than i just want remove notepad form right click [16:55] I need video decoder for use on ubuntu [16:55] SPhcT: rm ~/.local/share/applications/wine-extension* [16:56] SPhcT: That will remove all Wine right-click menu entries [16:56] Greetings. Can somebody tell me why I don't have the option to add a printer connected to a winbox on the local network? [16:56] Orukusaki: do you just mean you want to play video, or do you mean you want to convert it from a compressed format to a less compressed format? [16:56] theadmin, ty.. :) [16:57] reisio, thanks that is what i was lookin for... because of just 2 chars that shows wierd on gedit [16:57] Orukusaki, if the latter, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Transcoding may help [16:58] dl [16:59] I have a major problem if anyone can help that would be great === XX is now known as Guest44398 [16:59] joshbeitler: details. and just ask the question [16:59] superzzt: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu (especially https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu#Printing_from_Ubuntu) [16:59] Ok cool [16:59] Hello everyone, could use some help here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1986518 [17:00] Hi all - can anyone tell me if crontab is changed in ubuntu 12.04?

[17:00] joshbeitler: go to one of the TTYs (ctrl+alt+f1) [17:00] joshbeitler: login to that [17:00] thisisgil: If you want to edit the system wide crontab, use "sudo vi /etc/crontab" (replace vi with nano if you're not familiar with the former) [17:01] Lordoftime: ok [17:01] joshbeitler: then do: rm ~/.Xauthority [17:01] joshbeitler: then try again [17:01] thisisgil: /etc/crontab is the systemwide crontab, there is also the root user crontab which is what you edit with sudo crontab -e, but you should generally avoid that since the systemwide crontab is preferred for administrative tasks that need to run as root [17:02] why are alllllllllllll my you tube videos inverted for colour like negatives? doesnt happen on my windows box and it's with all browsers [17:02] firefox and chrome [17:02] Lordoftime: worked, thanks! [17:02] joshbeitler: yep [17:02] So my Xubuntu system is set up to shutdown via cron at a specific time everyday, then it wakes-on-LAN everyday as well at a specified time. All ran well for months until a few weeks ago, when my system would wake-on-LAN but would all of the sudden display the following messages: [17:02] error: hd0,1 out of disk [17:02] error: couldn't read file. [17:02] error: you need to load kernel first. [17:02] Failed to boot both default and fallback entries. [17:02] Press any key to continue... [17:02] I would then press a key and my system would boot up normally into the desktop. But I want to avoid having to press a key every time to start. [17:02] strictland: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:02] con-man: you use nvidia graphics card? [17:03] allu2, yup [17:03] con-man: fullscreen the video and rightclick options, turn off gl.. or something like that, don't remember exactly [17:03] con-man: its problem with the drivers, goto Unity 2D then to youtube and right click the video, select properties and unselect "hardware acceleration" [17:04] yup [17:04] thanks both of you [17:04] worked :) [17:04] :) [17:04] theadmin / eliahkagan okay - I'm trying to run this command every minute : echo 0|tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope - it fixes a ubuntu 12.04 32 / 64 bit wine library bork - is crontab the best place to do this? [17:04] guys, i seriously have to understand why disabling advanced graphic effects to get VNC working properly needs to be that hard to do [17:05] thisisgil: Make that "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope", and yes, put it in /etc/crontab [17:06] Vlan: there're some new VNC things that avoid that, even [17:06] Vlan: designed to work with accelerated [17:06] EliahKagan: Thanks for that, but I've seen these guides before, but their method doesn't seem to work. I get the feeling that I am missing something. A package perhaps. I have samba and am able to browse the network in nautilus, but I can't seem to find the shared printer. [17:06] Vlan: but mostly I'd say the kind of people who need to remotely administer a computer would already know that [17:07] reisio: could you please point me to a siple and working tutorial for a guy that has already headache? [17:07] my problem: "error: hd0,1 out of disk." during boot, details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008361/ and at the forums here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1986518 [17:07] reisio:yeah you're right but unfortunately i'm not really a linux guy [17:07] strictland: we can read you know. you've already posted on the forums, have some patience [17:07] Vlan: you're using Unity? [17:08] superzzt: you may want to try the samba web interface to see if it sees the remote printer. [17:08] theadmin: I downloaded the Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop ISO image, saved to USB, booted in live mode and tried to install chromium-browser, which I cancelled after 3 hours. So I can’t tell whether it works from live CD :( [17:08] superzzt: i mean the cups web interface. ;) http:/localhost:631 [17:08] apologies, other guy was asking me to use pastebin [17:08] reisio: yep, i guess so [17:08] vlt: is it so important to use it from a live image? [17:08] Dr_Willis: I'd forgotten about that. Will try. [17:09] superzzt: my new printers all are stand alone on the network. :) best feature ever. [17:09] When installing programs i prefer to use Ubuntu Software Center. But what if I want to copy installed software to another Ubuntu machine? Where shall I look for installed software? Is there anything like "program files" folder in ubuntu? [17:09] reisio: User theadmin (who just left) recommended to try whether it crashes there too. [17:09] Jancoover: you should never do that [17:09] Jancoover: always use software center [17:09] Vlan: which version? [17:09] Jancoover: You normally DONT just copy software over.. you could copy the .deb files over from the /var/cache/apt/ dirs.. and install the debs [17:09] hown can I orevent the pannel popping up when I move the cursor to the left on 12.04 [17:10] vlt: ? [17:10] Jancoover: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [17:10] Jancoover: if you want to save download bandwitch. setup a main machine as a apt-cacher-ng server and let it cache all the debs for the rest of the lan. [17:10] reisio: Since I upgraded to 12.04 (fresh install) my browser (chromium) is unusable. I start it and after a few seconds it closes. This is the terminal output I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1007881/ What to do now? [17:11] vlt: what version of chromium? [17:11] 'upgraded to 12.04 (fresh install)' ? you mean you just did a clean/new install then? ;) [17:11] MagicJ: turn up the sensitivity on the panel? [17:11] reisio: Current [17:11] Vlan: which version of Ubuntu? [17:12] hey, in gnome shell, is there a way to rearrange extension icons in the top bar? [17:12] s/up/down/ [17:12] vlt: 'Current' is not a version [17:12] versions are made up of numbers, and sometimes letters [17:12] reisio: 12.04 [17:12] LordOfTime: yes - helps - but not enough - want to really stop it 100% [17:12] MagicJ: don't use Unity then [17:12] MagicJ: you could use gnome-shell or something [17:12] any one know how to setup eclipse for advanced JAVA? i mean how to setup apache tomcat? [17:12] Dr_Willis, Jancoover: I favour squid-deb-proxy, myself. [17:13] !notunity | MagicJ [17:13] MagicJ: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [17:13] theadmin thanks! one last thing - do I need to write 'root' after the time variables, ie so it would be 0 0 0 0 0 root ? [17:13] reisio: The one I get when I install the latest pkg chromium-browser package. apt says 18.0.1025.151~r130497-0ubuntu1 [17:13] /n [17:13] LordOfTime: how do I easily turn it off [17:13] Dr_Willis: cups doesn't see the printer despite the fact that it is a shared printer. (It is on a windows 7 box, FYI) [17:13] MagicJ: by not using Unity, but using gnome-shell [17:14] MagicJ: you either have it autohide or you dont in which case it'll always be there [17:14] MagicJ: you can change *where* it shows up (left side / bottom), but if you want it to autohide but not respond to being tapped, you might be out of luck [17:14] * LordOfTime checks [17:14] vlt: try quitting chromium-browser, then in the Terminal run: cd .config; mv chromium chromium.old [17:14] OK dumb question of the day: How do you uninstall a package? sudo dpkg -r linux-image-3.2.14-debug -> " warning: ignoring request to remove ..." [17:14] then go back into Chromium and see if it works agaiin [17:14] EliahKagan: I started with an empty ~ [17:15] superzzt: how about findsmb, and smbtree commands. [17:15] LordOfTime: ty so much - that's how it seemed - YUCK - I will o the drop back to gnome I guess - this is the tupe of thing that will drive me and others away from Ubuntu - I have 131 sites running Ubuntu that I will probably end up changing because of this type of thing [17:15] splnet apt-get remove [17:15] MagicJ: you could make it go to the bottom [17:15] MagicJ: or just make it so its always visible and not hidden [17:15] splnet: or if you want to remove systemwide configuration files too, run apt-get purge [17:16] how to setup apache tomcat in eclipse...for java [17:16] LordOfTime: my users do not want to be confused by this stuff. They use the few things we have on the desktop and no more [17:17] MagicJ: the dash is part of Unity. to not have the dash, the answer is don't use Unity, but use Gnome Shell or Gnome Classic (I am partial to gnome shell) [17:17] Vlan: you just need the command to disable effects, then you can simply put it in a shell script with your vnc command and run that instead [17:17] EliahKagan: yeah purge did the trick thanks [17:17] LordOfTime: I agree - and the best way to that is to change to another distro [17:17] Dr_Willis: smbtree sees the winbox, but no printer. Interesting. This isn't important to me. I'll write this off as a Windows glitch for now and not waste your time. Thanks. [17:17] vlt: how did you start with an empty home directory if you 12.04 LTS system is an upgrade? [17:17] MagicJ: or use Gnome Shell (which is closer to Gnome than Unity) [17:17] The panel is getting some neat features with icon feedback/animation and quicklists. ;) [17:17] MagicJ: Ubuntu's a great distro, you could use Kubuntu (KDE) if you want [17:18] i recently ran an upgrade and am no longer able to launch OpenGL apps. have an nvidia gs 8400, get this error on launch: "X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)" [17:18] MagicJ: when i get tired of Unity, i keep KDE around :P [17:18] EliahKagan: Since I upgraded to 12.04 (fresh install) … [17:18] Vlan: maybe just metacity --replace [17:18] vlt: oh ok sorry [17:18] well you [17:18] LordOfTime: I like unity for my own development use -but for a "packaged system" ready for the end user for whom I really want to hide that there is an OS there at all this is bo good [17:18] Dr_Willis: Better yet, I'll check another winbox on the network to see if it's there. Either way I thank you for your help. You've helped point me in a new direction. [17:19] *well you are not running the latest version, try upgrading chromium-browser: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [17:19] what is the best programming language to start with?

[17:58] i have install ubuntu 12.04 there is a problem with a usb huawei modem [17:58] vlt, sirriffsalot, escott, HelloWorld321 and others: I found it. You have to click on the _name_, not on the icon in the upper right corner. [17:58] wobble: if you download from that site it will automatically pick a good mirror, that is better than any direct link we can give you, is that not working for you?

[18:00] wobble: if you need a direct link you can use http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso (32-bit) or http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso (64-bit) but that may not be as fast as an autoselected mirror (go to http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop, pick 32-bit or 64-bit, and click Start download) [18:00] * wilee-nilee wonders why [18:03] Test [18:03] Bounceand: pong [18:03] does anybody know how I minimize xchat to the launchbar? now 'minimize' puts it in the tray every time.. :/ [18:03] Please excuse my language. [18:03] HelloWorld321: You have to change the bind-address in my.cnf to listen on the IP address or subnet of your machine. [18:03] WHAT THE FSCK?!?!?! [18:03] Thnx ping [18:03] ##programming [18:03] I could read files from another user! [18:04] Hi everybody [18:04] vlt: when you were guest, or when you were a different (real) user [18:04] for guest to be able to do that is bad...for another real user to be able to do that is fine so long as the user who owns the files has permissions set to allow it [18:04] hi Bounceand [18:05] I created another user, switched to that (using the menu I found) and could read files of my other user. [18:05] EliahKagan: ^ [18:05] vlt: yeah that might be fine, check your permissions [18:05] Ubuntu has permissive permissions by default [18:05] EliahKagan: I didn’t change them. [18:05] you can change it though [18:05] Ubutnu has what? [18:05] The default is that users can read each others home dirs? [18:06] vlt: yes, this is by design, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Policies#Permissive_Home_Directory_Access [18:06] but note that guest is not supposed to be able to do this (AppArmor is used to constrain what guest can do) [18:07] I love that euphemism here: “allow users to easily share files and help each other” === bobbyaldol_ is now known as bobbyaldol [18:08] EliahKagan: Ok, back to topic: I logged in as the other (fresh) user and got the segfault crash again in chromium. [18:08] vlt: that's not a euphemism, this was not done by mistake and it would not be hard to change it, it hasn't been changed because the security team decided that this is preferable to more restrictive behavior; the link i posted explains how to change the default on your system === margo_ is now known as margo [18:09] vlt: darn, i was hoping it was something in your user account [18:09] vlt: i don't remember, did you purge and reinstall chromium-browser? [18:09] how do you stop pulse audio from running? [18:09] if not, try that -- that will wipe out global configuration files [18:09] HelloWorld321: You also have to do some grants to allow specific users access to databases from remote addresses. If you wanted root to be able to connect to any database from 192.161.1.0-254 you would have to say something like grant all on *.* to root@'192.168.1.%' IDENTIFIED BY "mysecretpassword"; [18:10] vlt: sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install chromium-browser [18:10] After reinstalling ubuntu, it does not show me wired interface, neither headphones work nor brightness decresaes. In short, many hardware problems. I tried this formatting and installing many times but of no use. [18:10] terafl0ps: I've got that. I'm still trying to find where MySQL installed the my.cnf file. [18:11] HelloWorld321: Try "locate my.cnf" [18:11] looiks like its in /etc/mysql [18:11] EliahKagan: Ah, thanks, just ran the purge command and was going to run install afterwards [18:11] vlt: that works too [18:13] pulse audio keeps coming back after I kill it, @$^ -- there must be a proper way to disable it without doing something nasty like chmod -x [18:13] EliahKagan: segfault [18:13] terafl0ps: a couple more questions about adding the bind-address to my.cnf ... [18:13] EliahKagan: dmesg: [ 5692.191485] chromium-browse[5248]: segfault at b7975000 ip b41e3450 sp bfda0d60 error 6 in chromium-browser[b3631000+41b4000] [18:14] terafl0ps: can I put multiple bind-address lines? Can I keep the old 127.0.0.1 and add a new subnet below it? [18:14] terafl0ps: can I use * in the subnet? or should I use 255 or % or something else? [18:15] terafl0ps: do I need to restart MySQL to activate the new bind-address? [18:15] Not sure about multiple bind addresses. A restart of the mysql service is definitely necessary. [18:16] EliahKagan: And now? [18:17] BLZbubba: maybe /etc/xdg/autostart, or /etc/default/pulseaudio. but i would just do something nasty [18:17] vlt: i don't know, you could try enabling apport and reporting the crash (during which you may find suggested duplicates coming up that contain info about workarounds): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport#How_to_enable_apport [18:17] i have an asus u46 laptop and for some reason in Ubuntu 12.04 I can't tap to click with the touchpad [18:17] any idea what's going on? [18:18] :-) [18:18] Quick question, My hard drive failed, so I'm running off a USB stick at the moment, I installed to it through Unetbootin, And I was just wondering, Will changes I make stay applied to it? Or will I lose everything each time I restart? [18:18] tx terafl0ps: u r teh uber [18:18] vlt: or if Chrome would meet your needs, you could install that [18:18] BLZbubba: ~/.pulse/client.conf create/add: autospawn=no [18:18] HelloWorld321: It turns out if no address or 0.0.0.0 is specified, the server listens on all interfaces. [18:19] terafl0ps: gotcha. tx. And then I control it from inside the MySQL user permissions [18:19] BLZbubba: see: man pulse-client.conf; for all the options and more detail === as456fgt is now known as dury [18:20] Kaleidoscope: no, changes made to a live USB are not persistent [18:21] EliahKagan, Figures, Alright thanks man [18:21] EliahKagan: apport says it’s already running, maybe I eventually checked “don’t ever ask me again when chromium crashes”. How to enable it again? [18:22] Kaleidoscope: tar xvpf your changes [18:22] vlt: check inside /etc/apport/blacklist.d, also check for .crash files for it inside /var/crash [18:24] EliahKagan: I got an 8 MB log file in /var/crash. [18:25] vlt: if the log file is for chromium-browser and you're cd'd to the /var/crash directory, you can submit it with: ubuntu-bug FILENAME [18:25] what does ubuntu mount when it says mounting some kind of cryptswap stuff on boot? [18:25] it'd be counterproductive if the decryption key was on the disk... [18:25] vlt: alternatively if you delete it and make sure chromium-browser is not blacklisted in /etc/apport/blacklist.d, then when you produce the crash again you should get the option to submit it [18:26] EliahKagan: The file is of course for chromium. It’s from the other user session. bz2 is still 6 MB. [18:27] EliahKagan: I'll use ubuntu-bug. [18:27] My message indicator is not highlighting when I get new messages or mail. Anybody knows what I can do to fix this? [18:28] vlt, you may as well go back to the original user account === EvanR is now known as Guest59331 [18:31] After reinstalling ubuntu, it does not show me wired interface, neither headphones work nor brightness decresaes. In short, many hardware problems. I tried this formatting and installing many times but of no use. [18:32] does 12.04 have a dns cache?

[18:36] fellayaboy, I lost my opendns with it running. [18:37] EliahKagan: The upload has finished.

[19:15] L3top, how do I shutdown the desktop manager [19:15] bartha sory [19:16] native ubunut 12.04 drivers [19:16] gapagos: ctrl + alt + f2 and type: sudo service lightdm stop [19:16] zaki: thats fine.. [19:16] zaki: your routes look fine.. [19:16] ok.. lets do an arp [19:16] im trying to install flash player for kubuntu..weird that im able to play youtube video (uses flash right?) but videos on Steam says i need flash...Do i download YUM or .tar.gz or .rpm or apt? [19:16] and see what comes up [19:16] terminal arp [19:16] L3top, ok ill try that [19:17] bartha:arp? [19:17] Khmerog, flash on steam sounds like a wine issue [19:17] Guest92764: the open source radeon driver is not ideally suited for your card, though frankly I prefer it. Install the proprietary fglrx driver and check your temps. [19:17] u are right i was running steam on wine [19:17] but which of those files should i be downloading? [19:18] will it f*ck up my system :P [19:18] i am guessing Tar.gz? they all say Linux 64 [19:18] Guest92764: sudo apt-get install fglrx [19:18] zaki: yep in terminal type arp [19:18] bartha ok [19:18] Khmerog: you'd need windows flash [19:18] Khmerog, maybe winetricks has something for flash [19:18] wow 231 mb [19:18] Guest92764: no... it will use the drivers ATI made for your card, and unlock accelleration etc... btw they dont like language even starred out in here. [19:18] Khmerog: none of the above, you install with the package manager [19:19] bartha:http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008582/ [19:19] zaki: do you have wired and wireless running right now? [19:19] !wine [19:19] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [19:19] 'Wine' [19:19] ok sorry [19:19] Okay, i htink i know what went wrong. I downloaded the firmware installer but did not run it, how do i run it? [19:19] Guest92764: However the linux support for ATI is terrible too in contrast. [19:19] thanks will install and report back [19:20] zaki: it some times happens in ubuntu. It does not know how to route. So disconnect wired and see if wireless works.. [19:20] bartha : both conected bt wen iremv wire i cant browse internet stil wifi is conected [19:20] zaki: your arp has two routes to the same thing [19:20] i remmeber that you can set the profile for the native driver [19:20] like low normal and performance [19:20] Guest92764: to answer your original question though, why it is not like it is in windows is due to the manufacturer, and their closed source driver, and the level of importance they place on *nix support. [19:20] bartha: i tryd bt not working [19:20] zaki: disconnect wired, in terminal type " sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [19:21] zaki: that should register you back on the wireless [19:21] and lets see if ti works fine [19:21] bartha: let me check [19:21] why don't manufacturers opensource their drivers? =) [19:21] bartha: b back [19:21] daze: its not in the best interest of theirs.. [19:21] Yes. Where is the profile located for the native drivers [19:21] zaki: sure [19:21] confg [19:22] but what's there to hide in driver code? :] [19:22] daze that is an involved answer which is best debated in #ubuntu-offtopic [19:22] hehe, ok [19:22] daze: it's more about tradition and not wanting to give up control [19:22] reisio +1 [19:22] L3top i did not figre out how to return to the GUI after your CTRL + ALT F2 command this time [19:23] I had to reboot my entire computer :-( [19:23] to be somewhat on topic, I just went from Windows7 to Ubuntu this week and NVIDIA 295.40 driver messed up things badly (everything was reaaaaaly slow). [19:23] ALT F7 I think.. [19:23] well... yeah... we shut it down gapagos... you didn't ask... I assumed you were on a different computer. [19:23] L3top also it gave me the same error as before [19:24] and I'm currently not using any 'restricted' video driver, but ubuntu runs in "3D" mode with, I suppose, acceptable video performance [19:24] daze: fixed it? [19:24] gapagos: yeah, its Ctrl-Alt-F7 (on my setup at the very least) [19:24] reisio, well I had two reinstalls that day, so yeah :D [19:24] me as well daze, but definitely does run hotter. [19:24] TheShrub, I tried Ctrl-Alt-F1to12 and id did not work [19:24] :/ [19:25] the point is: [19:25] the whole experience was good, though. I'm a happy Ubuntu convert. [19:25] TheShrub: gapagos, we SHUT DOWN the desktop... it would have to be started again to get back [19:26] 1) I can't boot Ubuntu without nomodeset; 2) can't get sudo apt-get update to work; 3) I can't install nvidia drivers through command line. [19:26] i cant and i cant fix, the boot option [19:26] i install grub2 grub [19:26] Regardless, gapagos... can you please open a terminal and type sudo dpkg --configure -a [19:26] bartha: * Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces * Reconfiguring network interfaces... [19:26] and nothing the menu doesnt show [19:26] gapagos: have you check if its /etc/apt/ has the source files? [19:26] L3top ok I did, it provided no return line [19:26] How can I reset font settings? [19:26] I have run "apt-get install firmware-b43legacy-installer" how do i run it [19:26] bartha speak Common English ;) [19:27] gapagos: we can unlock the directory... but I am very baffled as to why it is locked. [19:27] Imagine I'm a hot blonde with large boobs [19:27] gapagos: LOL [19:27] the single thing that was keeping me from converting to Linux all these years was terrible font rendering. And with Ubuntu 12 it seems to be Mac-like, even better. So I'm really enjoying the newfound ground here :) [19:27] gapagos: check if the apt has the source list at that location [19:27] zaki: what happened? === rofl is now known as Tux [19:27] L3top just for general info, my ubuntu 12.04 is a fresh install [19:27] bartha: * Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces * Reconfiguring network interfaces... [19:28] zaki: did it say it found someone offering IP? [19:28] zaki: or is it in sleep? ( waiting for an DHCP offer)? [19:28] I only repaired the GRUB because the default grub installation wouldn't even boot it said "no such device" [19:28] L3 top: why can install it in fedora but not in ubuntu is based on debian it should be [19:28] hello [19:28] I put a 2 ° hd (slave) that I use as data, but sometimes it apart and I no longer have access, I repeat again the installation, but subsequently is disassembled: Using Ubuntu 12.04, hd problems? [19:29] giovanni60: could you explain more clearly? [19:29] bartha:its got ip its conected bt i cant browse [19:29] ok.. [19:29] I have run "apt-get install firmware-b43legacy-installer" how do i run it [19:29] zaki: do not connect your wired back.. lets be on wireless [19:29] zaki: now in terminal type ping 192.168.2.1 [19:30] ok [19:30] also it's weird, youtube used to work last time I booted, and now it doesn't work anymore, it says flash plugin failed to install [19:30] ok that sounds redundant, let me rephrase [19:30] I have run "apt-get install firmware-b43legacy-installer" how do i run the installer [19:30] Nardella is it a .run? [19:30] My Ubuntu installation is going bad from worse and I'm not even doing anything to it [19:30] then just ./X.run [19:30] Like wtf [19:30] bartha i have no idea [19:30] bartha: ping 192.168.2.1 PING 192.168.2.1 (192.168.2.1) 56(84) bytes of data. [19:31] zaki: you have to hold on.. ping takes time.. [19:31] Nardella can you tell me the type of file? [19:31] is it a .deb .run ? [19:31] or just a tar.gz? [19:31] no i cannot [19:31] I dont know where it is [19:31] So can anyone help me or is Ubuntu just not working as badly as it was 5 years ago [19:31] gapagos: try sudo rm /etc/apt/lists/lock [19:32] L3top it says: [19:32] Nardella.. [19:32] rm: cannot remove `/etc/apt/lists/lock': No such file or directory [19:32] you downlodaed the file right? [19:32] Nardella: you do not know where the file is? [19:32] yes using the terminal [19:32] ls /etc/apt/lists [19:32] gapagos: ^ [19:32] i do not know where the terminal puts it [19:32] oh, btw, what antivirus software are you using, if any? [19:32] L3top: ls: cannot access /etc/apt/lists: No such file or directory [19:32] Nardella: it will be in pwd [19:33] where is pwd? [19:33] Nardella: just do an "ls -la" command or "ls -laht" [19:33] and look at the top most file [19:33] pwd = prsent working directory [19:34] bartha: ping 192.168.2.1 PING 192.168.2.1 (192.168.2.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

( atleast from the looks of it) [19:36] bartha: i dont understand, i ran the command, what next? [19:36] Ok... gapagos... now lets get the drivers you need. [19:36] L3top actually now it's stuck at 91% [Connecting to ca.archive.ubuntu.com] [19:36] just... let it go..

[19:46] WarOfTheNerd I have better things to do with my time than picking up all the options of things I don't understand [19:46] ?? [19:46] just like I don't remove every piece of my car when it won't run [19:46] bartha:? [19:46] gapagos, but you would buy a baby seat if you needed one, they don't come as standard [19:47] gapagos: whats the issue? [19:47] gapagos, or you would replace the old tape player if you used CDs [19:47] I would get ONE baby seat, I would not order all the baby seat parts individually [19:47] wawowe , that was helpful and fast. It looked like the gui tools should work ,but they show a connection ,but nothing happens . Like the ps3 could not even see my computer. It seem like you should not need to go to command line for feature that is officially in the os ,but you do [19:47] The baby seat would be in a store in a full package in a nice box [19:47] DavidH2: make a new ubuntu user, log off then log in as the new user, is it the same? [19:47] should i mention its the menu bar in libre-office writher? [19:47] baby seats? what channel is this?

[19:50] hi [19:51] gapagos: follow the factoid ActionParsnip sent you... a much less hacky way than mine to resolve the issue [19:51] how do you get systray back on 12.04 [19:51] i just installed ubuntu live cd on an usb drive. I generally want to have a portable ubuntu on my pendrive - is there a better way than installing livecd and each time using "try ubuntu" option/ [19:51] ? [19:51] ActionParsnip, it gives bash: !aptfix: event not found [19:52] gapagos: and create a new sources.list with http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ would be the direction I went... [19:52] [like to have ubuntu installed way that it will automatically boot into os?] [19:52] gapagos: you don't need to type !aptfix. that's just a trigger for ubottu [19:52] the rename didnt wokr [19:52] gapagos: ubottu told you what to type after !aptfix was given.

Pressing fn + f2/f3 does nothing. i have tried editing the grub config file and using xrandr, but nothing changes the actual backlight brightness. please help. how can i change the backlight brightness? [20:03] stef1a: did you run: sudo update-grub and reboot [20:03] btw lo-menubar didnt work. even after reboot [20:03] fuck this [20:04] gapagos, no cursing here [20:04] gapagos: please watch your language [20:04] I am wasting my weekend on trying to get a stupid video card to work [20:04] this is stupid [20:04] stef1a: is your bios setup running it in battery saving mode? [20:04] ActionParsnip: yes [20:04] wawowe: not sure; i will check shortly [20:04] gapagos: did you run the commands I gave you ? [20:04] I tried Ubuntu in 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2012 and it's still as buggy as EVER before [20:04] gapagos: did you report the bugs? [20:05] I'm done with Ubuntu once and for all [20:05] gapagos: then don't use it.. [20:05] ActionParsnip I found on google that the bug has already been reported several times [20:05] wawowe: turns out there is an option in gconf-editor to hide desktop icons ;) [20:05] months ago [20:05] apps -> nautilus -> preferences -> show_desktop [20:05] gapagos: no it's worse now :p [20:05] gapagos: did you add and say "this affects me too" with some details.. [20:05] Anyone play LoL on Linux? [20:06] is anyone here from the www.ubuntu.com webteam online? [20:06] it's alsways a good idea to check hw compatibility before installing [20:06] actionparnsnip no why should I go through an entire account creation (as I already have 9023780938 online accounts) just to post "me too" [20:07] gapagos: you could try the xorg edgers update ppa [20:07] gapagos: http://pastebin.com/sSS1swC0 that is a safe, officially supported ubuntu 1204 sources.list... without source files... which you wouldn't need unless you were compiling your own binaries... at which point you will understand how to generate your own sources.list with what you want. [20:07] gapagos, what kind of video card do you have? [20:07] gapagos: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [20:07] Hi! I have a very annoying problem with the brightness of my ubuntu [20:07] gapagos: the pastebin I gave will clean your repos off nicely [20:08] hello , I'm trying to install aircrack-ng on Ubuntu 12.04 64bits, i can't; I saw on the website that it exist and universe repo is OK in my sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008644/ [20:08] ActionParsnip: I do not believe that will do anything but confound the situation... there is a dependency problem with the current mirror list they have. === Guest44398 is now known as XX [20:08] ActionParsnip ok it's my last attempt before I just restore windows MBR [20:08] gapagos, there's two different nvidia drivers [20:09] it doesn't keep the brightness settings [20:09] hi guys i was trying to update to the latest kernel and received this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008646/. Any suggestions? [20:09] every time i reboot and every time i leave my laptop for a while [20:09] gapagos: I strongly recommend replacing your current sources.list with the one I generated for you... sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade then try and install your nvidia driver. [20:09] without using it [20:09] anyone know how to get support for xbmcbuntu ? [20:10] ActionParsnip: I am running Ubuntu Server 12.04 btw, not xbmcbuntu... but the problem I have will apply to xbmcbuntu users specifically [20:10] stueng: do they have their own channel ? [20:10] appears now [20:10] not* [20:10] when i move the mouse pointer or i try to do something [20:10] ActionParsnip: dejahnue, they cannot even get through an update, or installing drivers without dependency problems. I believe that the best course of action is a fresh sources.list, update upgrade and install [20:10] !enter | vincenzo [20:10] mainly concerned as this is related to my wifi drivers i believe [20:10] vincenzo: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:10] Actionparsnip, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current still gives me the SAME error [20:10] the display brightness change to the max value [20:11] stueng: XBMCbuntu appears to be an XBMC project. Try their channel? (assuming they have one) [20:11] gapagos: did you run the command list I gave earlier... [20:11] clean reinstalls can work wonders, if you have nothing important ondisk to lose [20:11] Yes [20:11] dejahnue: or have good backups :) [20:12] anyone can help me? === param is now known as paramk [20:13] vincenzo: what make and model system? [20:13] stueng: Both #xbmc and #xbmc-linux are probably worth a try, if th'art still looking. [20:14] gapagos: last time... use the sources.list I created for you, replacing /etc/apt/sources.list (back it up if you want to first with a mv), rm /var/apt/lists/lock; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates (you can leave off the updates if you want, but it is a better driver). You do not need to add a PPA to get a driver that you have dependency issues trying to get from the repo. [20:14] thanks I have asked in the xbmc channel [20:15] gapagosgapagos, many's the time I've spent more than a week sorting out windows driver problems, so if you only spend a weekend on ubuntu you aren't doing too badly [20:15] gapagos: /var/lib/apt/lists/lock sorry [20:15] L3top too late man... I'm really done with Ubuntu.... I've tried over the years and have waited for it to get better [20:15] I remember when I was actually really encouraged by the future of Ubuntu [20:16] Good luck then. [20:16] gapagos, at least try some other linux distro, not (shudder shudder) windows [20:17] I even made this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z9Lplhve8U [20:17] this was in 2007 when I actually enjoyed ubuntu [20:17] gapagos: try to keep that stuff out of this channel please [20:17] since then, stability / compability has gone downhill downhill downhill [20:17] gapagos: it's a support channel. [20:18] Linux was a fine project 5 years, ago, it's dead now [20:18] gapagos: please stop [20:18] gapagos, are you still using the same hardware you were in 2007 when ubuntu was running well for you? [20:18] gapagos: the topic of this channel is ubuntu support discussion, please try to keep to that [20:18] gapagos: you do realize this is just one distro, why not try another.. [20:18] dejahnue: I am :) [20:18] gapagos: I gave you the solution. This is not the place to voice grievances because you do not wish to apply it. [20:19] ActionParnsnip, I tried mandrake, fedora and knoppix at the time they worked even less [20:19] gapagos: wow mandrake, old school. Like it :) [20:19] guys, gapagos can use what he wants, lets dump this, pleae. [20:19] Q: what does mean in Compiz ? [20:19] I'm not using the same hardware, but almost: same manufacturing companies, and my hardware has been released for 2 or 3 years it's not recent [20:20] matelot: in what sense? [20:20] ActionParsnip: in keybinding [20:20] gapagos: if you don't like it, don't use it. Ranting here does noting [20:20] gapagos, there's you answer, revert back exactly to your 2007 hw and you should be fine [20:21] matelot: probably so you can assign 2 keys to the action... [20:21] dejahnue, it's been donnated [20:21] vino is what provides "desktop sharing" right ? [20:21] ActionParsnip: http://i.imgur.com/qmFMa.png [20:21] stueng: basically [20:21] stueng: it's a VNC frontend, and that's what VNC does [20:22] reisio: ok.. so I have a ubuntu server build with xorg installed but I do not have a dektop environment. I am struggling to understand how I can turn on desktop sharing [20:22] stueng: you can't share a desktop you don't have [20:22] x server sharing? [20:23] x server without desktop environment ? [20:23] raw windows [20:23] yeah [20:23] I want to share the window [20:23] matelot: ahh, sounds like the mouse button to click with [20:23] I run "xserver xbmc" to launch XBMC [20:23] stueng: doesn't work like that, you share a desktop (or at last manage the sharing via a desktop) [20:23] i think desktop sharing would work at that raw level [20:23] stueng: the individual X windows are managed by the window manager, [20:24] its a protocol for bitmaps being viewed across the network [20:24] bye and thanks for all your help [20:24] stueng: its not supported here [20:24] Anyone play LoL on Linux? [20:24] it doesn't care about the desktop environment - only the fact its a screen of bitmaps [20:24] stueng: you'd need a whole desktop to make it "worth" more than just ssh'ing [20:24] ActionParsnip: ubuntu server is supported here surely? [20:24] piihb: what's that/ [20:24] ceti331_: it will....but you need a desktop to share [20:24] reisio: basically, I want to send keyboard strokes accross the VNC protocol [20:24] why .. its just images surely [20:24] stueng: I though you were having issue with xbmcubuntu? [20:25] hey all [20:25] i dont know the details but this interests me, [20:25] i was wondering, how do i manually set the DPI in Ubuntu 12.04? [20:25] do i have to generate an xorg.conf? [20:25] reisio: It's a game. You can only download the Windows version. I want to know if anyone plays on Linux and if they do, how they do it - WINE or what? [20:25] ActionParsnip: I run ubuntu server but hte issue I am having would effect xbmcbuntu users as well [20:25] I've settled on using synergy but i was looking for ways of using more screen real-estate from a laptop [20:25] stueng: Most people don't try to run a desktop on their server! For a media-server, something like Myth, which is designed to have frontend and backend, would surely be better? [20:25] or should I try to use xrandr? [20:26] I've seen youtube videos where someone explains how to use low level x-windows on a server without desktop install [20:26] the reason I chose ubuntu server is because I didnt want all the bloat that comes with desktop [20:26] e.g. they used 'xterm' with command line options to place it in the corners of the screen [20:26] I have managed to get xbmc running with only xorg and lightdm installed [20:26] its really quick === param is now known as paramk [20:26] i can EASILY see that being useful, and more useful than just a raw console. e.g: you can have a few columns of text on a widescreen monitor [20:26] but now I need to send keyboard strokes to it, using the VNC protocol [20:27] have you tried using synergy [20:27] ActionParsnip: Hello. [20:27] Jragon: hi [20:27] i'm using synergy between mac, linux, windows [20:27] piihb: which game? A name like 'lol' will make it impossible to find [20:27] its fun [20:27] stueng, not every DE is bloated [20:27] reisio: .... google lol [20:27] ActionParsnip: I've now tried with a different GPU, but still no luck. I'm really not at all sure what to do. [20:27] piihb: good luck [20:27] stueng: why not use the web interface, there is a sweet app for android and iphone to control it [20:27] stueng: I see. Although a minimal install (from mini.iso or the alternate CD) would have done a better job of that, 'cos you've almost certainly got some things you're not using from the default server install. I realise, though, that this isn't sorting what you're after. [20:27] Wanting to run graphics without desktop environment is perfectly reasonable [20:28] Jragon: ask the channel like everyone else. i have NO idea what you are on about [20:28] Darael: problem with minimal install is I couldnt get it to boot from USB [20:28] ActionParsnip: Don't worry, I was talking to you earlier. [20:28] reisio: The game is the first returned item in a Google search lol. [20:28] ActionParsnip: yeah the http interface works fine atm, its just that hipporemote requires the vnc protocol [20:28] Jragon: I've drank and slept since then. I don't go about remembering everyone I talk to and every issue I discuss [20:28] piihb: is that really easier to type for you than "it's called league of legends"? [20:29] piihb: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=10436 follow the instructions [20:29] ActionParsnip: Okay [20:29] stueng, some DEs are very sparse [20:29] reisio: No, I just wanted you to know that it wouldn't be impossible to find :P [20:29] dejahnue: do you know which is the most sparse? [20:29] fluxbox maybe? [20:29] Window Manager, or Desktop environment? Fluxbox is a minimal Window Manager [20:30] or maybe windowmaker [20:30] +1 for fluxbox (not a DE, nor does it need one :)) [20:30] agree +1 for fluxbox [20:30] piihb: impossibility was never the issue, wasting my time was [20:30] I can try that, it just seems unfortunate to have to install an entire DE just to enable "desktop sharing" [20:31] Fluxbox is not an entire DE. it is just titlebars to move windows around, and multiple desktops. handy shortcuts like mousewheel desktop switching [20:31] ok ill give that a go [20:31] it has a right click launcher menu too, and a window list title bar "hard coded" inside it, not a seperate dock-applicatiion [20:31] others are even simpler [20:31] WM2 is one of the simplest around [20:32] but a bit odd [20:32] flwm is super light [20:32] ok thanks, I better pay attention to whatever the gf is talking about for a bit then ill try it :P [20:33] When I try and boot up the Ubuntu live CD it gets stuck on the loading dots. When I click escape there is an error message that keeps popping up. udevb[175]: timeout: killing '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sdb1'. When I boot windows it gets to a blank screen with the cursor, then it reboots and tries again. I have also tried with Linux Mint 11, with Mint 11 it just goes to a black screen then resets. I have now tried with two GPUs and 4 [20:33] I have also tried resetting the jumper, but it dun work. [20:34] Jragon: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [20:34] Jragon: did you burn the CD as slowly as possible? [20:34] I checked the MD5 sum, and put it onto a USB as I don't have a cd drive. === `prixon is now known as prixon` [20:35] hello [20:35] reisio, are you still here? [20:35] I upgraded to Precise, and now my keyboard layout settings seem to have no effect; everything's stuck in the system keyboard setting, which doesn't have, eg, compose key, caps-lock-as-backspace, layout-switching options... [20:35] prixon`: ? === testBOT is now known as Guest56201 [20:35] s there a way to make super+D minimize all windows in 12.04 instead of ctrl+super+d? [20:35] yes of course [20:35] hi all, is there any software like macromedia dreamweaver on ubuntu [20:36] prixon`: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Ubuntu%22%20%22win%2Bd%22%20show%20hide%20desktop [20:36] !html | barcode [20:36] barcode: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages.

[20:37] http://w3fools.com/ [20:37] yes I need WYSIWYG [20:37] prixon`: could set it as a shortcut in CCSM, however if you have a lot of apps in the unity bar, the one assigned to D will run every time [20:37] hi [20:37] because netbeans not suitable for me [20:37] How do I initialise a SQLite database in ubuntu? [20:37] ok thhank [20:37] barcode: ubottu's msg pretty much sums up the state of affairs [20:38] !sql [20:38] q: there's supposed to be a cpu-temperature monitoring package, what was it called (I can't remember) [20:38] XiRoN: install mysql :) [20:38] barcode: probably the same as on any other distro: /join #sqlite [20:38] Nope I need SQLite [20:38] I need to initialise the database but dont know how [20:39] XiRoN: you could read the man page, or talk to #sqlite [20:39] ActionParsnip: i'm using Ubuntu 12.04 [20:39] with an Asus K53SJ [20:39] BTW: I'm using the GT440 GPU [20:39] ActionParsnip, what do you mean "the one assigned to D"? [20:40] i've read around the web that is a common problem of ubuntu with laptops [20:40] prixon`: if you hold SuperL a bit, you will see characters on the apps, if you have more than 9, it will use letters, one wil be named 'D' if you have a lot [20:41] Jragon: have you tested your RAM [20:41] ActionParsnip: I have. It works in my old desktop. [20:41] I upgraded to Precise, and now my keyboard layout settings seem to have no effect; everything's stuck in the system keyboard setting, which doesn't have, eg, compose key, caps-lock-as-backspace, layout-switching options... [20:42] ohh, got you ActionParsnip. although some apps don't have a super+letter shortcut like system monitor or software center [20:42] Kompozer is nice [20:42] thanks all [20:43] so I have to install CCSM..? no other way around it? [20:44] is there a way to jump to a given terminal tab with a keystroke? [20:45] Ctrl Alt T arooni-mobile [20:45] prixon`: afaik, yes [20:45] I think... [20:45] arooni-mobile: You can use ctrl+alt+PgUp/Dn I think [20:46] ok. O [20:46] arooni-mobile: ALT+# in a lot of GUI terms [20:46] I'm installing ccsm. btw, why do I get this message: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!

[20:53] I followed this guide: http://blog.gnu-designs.com/solved-howto-mount-an-external-encrypted-luks-volume-under-linux/ [20:53] so i can backup or sync all the data [20:54] but, for now i try to synch all music on my dekstop to my phone ? have you try reisio? [20:54] oh it's encrypted. that's not so straightforward [20:54] dejahnue: yeah tell me about it [20:55] I knew this was going to be complicated when I went to move to another lts [20:55] I have configured Windows on my notebook now [20:55] my question is [20:55] Should I install Ubuntu with wubi installer ? [20:55] or real dualboot [20:55] streulma: real [20:56] streulma: or better: pick one OS :p [20:56] encryption was after all created to foil people from just mounting someone else's harddrives [20:56] I must have Windows for some programs [20:56] the laptop is an ol done [20:56] streulma: which? [20:56] streulma: I'd resize the NTFS and install a real install. [20:57] on my work notebook I have wubi [20:57] where in ccsm can I change the minimize all to super+d? [20:57] it's not supported to install Ubuntu on the workpc :p [20:58] prixon`: somewhere (aren't GUIs fun!)

[21:00] prixon`: you see those long hex codes at the bottom of your paste [21:01] prixon`: use those codes on the end of this command: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com CODE-HERE-DUDE [21:01] ActionParsnip, the PPAs that I added? they don't relate to the packages I installed [21:01] prixon`: you still need to import the keys or the package system will moan# [21:03] ActionParsnip, I tried it, and that didn't fix the key error [21:03] prixon`: do the PPAs they relate to support Precise? [21:03] yes, they can support Precise [21:04] it says: gpg: requesting key 3ACC3965 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com [21:04] gpg: key 3ACC3965: "Launchpad lffl" not changed === ubuntu is now known as Guest32082 [21:08] prixon`: no Precise there dude: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ferramroberto/java/ubuntu/dists/ [21:09] hey guys, if I have a operational system programming doubt is there a specific channel to go?

[21:14] prixon`, those are the keys.:) [21:15] ctrl+c ctrl+v at least on my setup [21:15] prixon`: ctrl+shift+c/v [21:15] prixon`: contro+shift+c control+shift+v [21:15] wilee-nilee: prixon`you can change the setup in gnome terminal preferences [21:16] preferences-keyword combination [21:18] prixon`: As a little background, the reason is that those key combinations are in fact traditionally used for other things in the terminal. Ctl+C, for example, is the interrupt key, and will (as the name suggests) interrupt most things if you press it while they're running in the active terminal window. [21:19] pfft [21:19] the background is they don't want to refer to the 'Windows key' in their docs [21:20] they should just refer to it as meta and get over themselves [21:20] for better or worse (better obviously) keyboards have a key there now instead of a useless empty space [21:21] quick question: i have ssh session running, any way to put running program into screen session?

[21:49] Hello, i've deleted my /etc/bacula and removed bacula, in the hope to get the config files back after a reinstall, but that didnt worked out. is there a way to get them back? [21:49] what does that do? [21:49] Adonis: can you restore /etc/resolv.conf [21:50] graingert_ecs: its cheap and easy for now, the file is only generated when the connection becomes active === Guest93951 is now known as mutant [21:50] Adonis: yep, your DNS servers your system gets via DHCP are junk [21:50] ActionParsnip: ah okay so reseating the ethernet will reset that file? [21:50] hello [21:50] graingert_ecs: indeed :) [21:50] Adonis2: reseat your ethernet connecte [21:50] Adonis2: howdy [21:50] r [21:50] Adonis2: get fully updated, should help === mutant is now known as Guest31345 [21:50] Adonis2: and give us that file "/etc/resolv.conf" [21:50] reseat == unplug and plug in [21:51] how to i give u that file? [21:51] pastebin? [21:51] i love easy to remember DNS addresses [21:51] cat filename [21:51] is there a cli pastebin tool?

[21:52] sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /etc/resolv.conf [21:52] its only got 8.8.8.8 in it??? [21:53] Adonis2: did you reseat your ethernet cable? [21:53] im on wireless [21:53] okay power down your wifi [21:53] then power it back up again using the hardware switch on your laptop [21:53] what's the point of reseting it? [21:53] Hi guys. I need to modify my grub 2... I run "gksu gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom" but I can't modify it not even in administrator mode on. [21:53] or reseat the dongle [21:53] Hello, i've deleted my /etc/bacula and removed bacula, in the hope to get the config files back after a reinstall, but that didnt worked out. is there a way to get them back ( the default ones )? [21:54] Eagleman: sudo apt-get remove --purge bacula ? [21:54] then install it? [21:54] wawowe: it will restore his resolv.conf and we can come up with a longterm fix [21:54] Ubuntu doesn't let me change the resolution to a different aspect ratio. How do I fix that? [21:54] TPBEurope: what is your graphics card? [21:54] Adonis2: get fully updated, there may be an updated to network manager [21:55] graingert_ecs doesnt work [21:55] Hello. I need to modify my grub 2... I run "gksu gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom" but I can't modify & save it not even in administrator mode on. [21:55] Eagleman: really hmm [21:55] graingert_ecs: service networking restart would too [21:55] ozpy: try: gksudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom [21:55] wawowe: reseating requires less sudo commands [21:55] ozpy: or: sudo nano /etc/grub.d/40_custom [21:55] TPBEurope: ? [21:55] Eagleman: what the problem with your bacula [21:55] the only thing that could work is to reinstall ubuntu and put another 7 hours of time in it, thats a no go [21:56] one sec [21:56] it gave an error so i deleted my /etc/bacula folder [21:56] and after a reinstall it didnt came back [21:56] as in update ubuntu? [21:56] Adonis2: yeah [21:56] I'm using the nvidia drivers if that helps. [21:56] as far as making it last could add it to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head [21:56] Eagleman, Bacula configuration files are located in the /etc/bacula directory, so they are gone [21:56] ActionParsnip, Ok [21:56] TPBEurope2: you'll need to use the nvidia-settings tool [21:56] i know, but i want to get the default ones back [21:56] actionparsnip: thanks man. Let me try it [21:57] but i have no idea how [21:57] It still doesn't let me do it. :/ [21:57] hey folks; trying to make god (ruby) start: using http://openmonkey.com/blog/2008/05/27/god-init-script-for-debian-ubuntu-systems/ .. i did; but nothings happening [21:57] Eagleman: lol, a bit drastic, bacula is a bit bitchy to configure imo, have you tried to after purge remove to user dpkg to reconfigure ? [21:57] there wasnt usefull information in those conf files anyway [21:57] Eagleman: /usr/share/doc/bacula-common/examples/ [21:57] like dpkg --force-confmiss -i bacula-server_5.2.5-0ubuntu6_all.deb? [21:58] graingert_ecs, It just offers 5:4 resolutions. [21:58] TPBEurope2: use nvidia-autoconfigure [21:58] Linux newb having a problem with networking. [21:58] TPBEurope2: pick "Resolution: Auto" [21:58] Using 11.04 [21:58] command not found === Adonis2 is now known as adonis [21:59] RockDawg: upgrade to ubuntu 12.04 [21:59] TPBEurope2: sorry that's the option in the metamode, just use nvidia-settings and choose "Auto" as your rez [21:59] !details | RockDawg [21:59] RockDawg: 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 ..." [21:59] TPBEurope2: please screenshot and imgur this screen [22:00] +++++++++++++++++ [22:00] graingert_ecs: don't suggest updating without any knowledge about the problem [22:00] guntbert: I do know the problem [22:00] hi..does anyone know of a way that I can make grep case insensitive by default? A ".ini" file or maybe an environment variable? Thanks. [22:00] RockDawg: though about using a newer release? [22:01] nacnud: grep -i will make it (i)nsensitive to case === Octayn is now known as cmr [22:01] nacnud: you could add the switch to the grep alias already in ~/.bashrc [22:01] graingert_ecs: you surprise me :) because he only said two sentences [22:01] ActionParsnip...thanks for that. I found that one, but I was really looking to make -i the defaul situation. Is the best way to just createa BASH alias? [22:02] nacnud: yes [22:02] Okay, that's a job for the morning. I was hoping there'd be a .grep_rc file or something. Fair enough. Cheers for your help. [22:02] you make an alias, then you get messed up when you go to a differnt system that dosent have the same alias. ;) [22:03] hello, i've got a problem with /usr/share/menu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008797/ [22:03] TPBEurope2: http://i.imgur.com/GVQpd.png [22:03] nacnud: sure, there is already an alias, just add the extra switch in the quotes [22:03] graingert_ecs, It'll go blank since it will configure the wrong res. [22:03] TPBEurope2: auto should not "go blank" [22:03] TPBEurope2: and are you getting any EDID? [22:03] It does, though. [22:03] nacnud: echo "alias grep='grep -i'" > ~/.bashrc; source ~/.bashrc [22:03] Running 11.04 browsing the local network is unreliable. Changing /etc/nsswitch.conf so that wins is before dns on the hosts: line works, but then internet browsing is really slow. Moving dns ahead of wins on that line fixes internet problem but my LAN problems then return. How do I satisfy both? [22:03] when on auto? [22:03] EDID? [22:04] nacnud: don't do that actually [22:04] nacnud: mistake* [22:04] Dr_Willis....aye...embrace and extend...I'll take my chances...thanks. Cheers folks. Peace. [22:04] nacnud: echo "alias grep='grep -i'" >> ~/.bashrc; source ~/.bashrc [22:04] wawowe..does it not need >> ? [22:04] Can I just set it manually? [22:04] at least? [22:04] yeah, the append. [22:04] nacnud: yea >> [22:04] TPBEurope2: you can but it will just go blank [22:04] I'm on 11.04 because it's Pinguy and I only see a 11.04 version [22:04] your card may not support it [22:04] No worries, I'm cool with that. Thank you for your work :) I will sort it out :) Great shout. [22:04] graingert_ecs, It does. [22:05] nacnud: remember to run: source ~/.bashrc to reload it :) [22:05] graingert_ecs, So does the monitor, it's just that I don't know how to make a custom res in nvidia-settings. [22:05] now.. how could my networking go down in such a way that i no longer can lookup addresses like google.com, but IRC stays connected here.. and i just somehow restarted networking via the NM applet. and did not get hung up here.... [22:05] Been having this 3 times today. [22:05] TPBEurope2: you can edit the x config before it hits the disk [22:06] Installing 12.04 LTS from USB, I've got a separate /home partition that I've selected in the formatting window, now I can't deselect the "Encrypt my home folder" option and 'ubi-usersetup failed with exit code1'. [22:06] graingert_ecs, Can you explain? [22:06] TPBEurope2: see where it says show preview? [22:06] Dr_Willis: got hit by the new resolv -mechanism? [22:06] TPBEurope2: copy that preview into gedit [22:06] I tried entering a new user (so that no such home folder exists for it already) and ubi-usersetup keeps failing. This shit is annoying, any fixes? [22:06] TPBEurope2: and you'll notice a metamode option Option "metamodes" "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select +1680+0; DFP-0: 1680x1050 +0+0, DFP-1: NULL" [22:06] man, the c++ channel/s is/are dead [22:07] Right, ActionParsnip; noted. Thanks very much folks. And i learned about the "source" command too. Thanks again. Great. I'll pass along whatever I know. All the best. night, fromthe UK. [22:07] guntbert: not sure. seems like after a few hrs or so - dns lookups fail. nslookup google.com failed, but i selecxted wireless network 1, in the NM applet and it did 'somthing' and then started working [22:07] !language | xunie-laptop` [22:07] xunie-laptop`: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [22:07] RockDawg, yes, but pinguy is not supported here, AFAIK .. their website is old http://pinguyos.com/ so please download ubuntu 12.04 more fun [22:07] graingert_ecs, Hold on a sec. [22:07] hmm. my nameserver in resolv.conf is set to 127.0.0.1 [22:07] hi [22:07] New to all this. I figured since it's based on Ubuntu I could ask here. [22:08] where is show preview, graingert_ecs? [22:08] Dr_Willis: lol, go and have a look in network manager [22:08] Dr_Willis: of course, existing connection will not be bothered by a filed DNS lookup [22:08] TPBEurope2: click save to x configuration file [22:08] guntbert: i restarted networking. :) that should have reset my irc connecton [22:08] RockDawg: yeah none of the 'Ubuntu based' distros are supported here [22:08] Okay. [22:08] I did. I see it now. [22:08] Dr_Willis: are you adonis? [22:08] Dr_Willis: correct, dnsmasq is now providing a service [22:08] I got diffent dns servers set in the network manager applet., then is showing in resolov.conf [22:09] actionparsnip: how to save it? there [22:09] s no such option in the menu [22:09] isent dnsmasq also supposed to help in finding the samba servers on the lan? [22:09] TPBEurope2: upload it to gist https://gist.github.com/ [22:09] Dr_Willis: ls -l /etc/resolv.conf will show it is just a link [22:09] TPBEurope2: and tell me the res you want [22:09] ozpy: in nano? press CTRL+X, Press Y, Press ENTER [22:09] ozpy: you know you can press tab after typing some part of someones nick [22:09] guntbert: didn't know that :) [22:09] ozpy: this will save typing it all [22:10] guntbert: its not showing as a link here. [22:10] ls -l res* [22:10] -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 May 26 12:43 resolv.conf [22:10] now whats with those permissions.... [22:10] waht [22:10] do you have some sort of rootkit...? [22:10] Dr_Willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008806/ [22:10] normally a rootkit would *keep* you from seeing that... [22:10] I did try Ubuntu 12.04 first and I had the same problem. Switched to another distro to see if it helped. It didn't. How can I fix it if I co back to Ubuntu? [22:10] ActionParsnip: why is it lrwxrwxrwx [22:10] actionparsnio: thanks pal. Now keeping the fingers crossed [22:10] ? [22:11] graingert_ecs: its a link, so it will be 777, the actual access is stored on the file linked to [22:11] hmm [22:11] graingert_ecs: thanks pal [22:11] so you can change the link? [22:11] graingert_ecs: l == link ;) [22:11] Dr_Willis: so you apparently overwrote it (or maybe it didn't get changed during uppgrade) [22:12] guntbert: i did a clean install.. i wonder if i may have done some tweaking in network manager to fight my wireless a few weeks/month back when the release just came out. [22:12] not using my wireless card any more [22:12] graingert_ecs, I'd like 1280x768 (5:3); https://gist.github.com/913e5d9531ba73ac1349 [22:12] RockDawg: so what's the issue with networking? [22:13] it's normal for it to look like that, as ActionParsnip says, it's a link, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008809/ [22:13] TPBEurope2: https://gist.github.com/13e9eb972e04ee82cf4f [22:13] Running 11.04 browsing the local network is unreliable. Changing /etc/nsswitch.conf so that wins is before dns on the hosts: line works, but then internet browsing is really slow. Moving dns ahead of wins on that line fixes internet problem but my LAN problems then return. How do I satisfy both? [22:13] ActionParsnip, i was installing Android 4.0 in my laptop. Grub 2 needed to be modified. All ok now [22:14] graingert_ecs, Okay, where do I save it now? [22:14] android on laptop is possible now? [22:14] Since bacula isnt working out, i;m looking for another backup program, all it needs to do is backup my server, exclude some folders, restore using some rescue cd ( like the windows solution )? [22:14] Sorry, my last post was for graingert_ecs [22:14] ozpy: nice [22:14] alankila sure, try it in Vbox [22:14] alankila: there are install CDs around :) [22:14] alankila, yeah http://www.webupd8.org/2012/03/how-to-dual-boot-android-x86-and-ubuntu.html [22:14] just curious. Not going to install it anytime soon yet. [22:15] I hate that Google Currents is not available in Google Chrome Market. So many cool apps [22:15] graingert_ecs, The X configuration, I mean. [22:16] my admin has turned off my box remotedly [22:17] well its official [22:17] chrome is almost amazing [22:18] Cerrdor: it's all about chromium [22:18] yeah [22:19] graingert_ecs, excuse me, but it's asking for a path for that file. [22:19] just installed it in buntu and now all my desktop bookmarks etc are just here [22:19] pretty nifty [22:20] hi, my hp printer does not work. it isnt recognized as usb-device. it should work out of the box. what can i do? i used hp-setup. [22:20] Does anyone know where the X config file for nvidia is supposed to be saved? [22:21] TPBEurope2: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:21] dune, lsusb [22:21] does it show it there? [22:21] Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:032a Hewlett-Packard [22:21] so its werkin [22:21] Do I need to restart X or whatever? [22:21] TPBEurope2: yes [22:22] what does it say when you try to print something? [22:22] i cant add it. its not in cups [22:22] How? [22:23] TPBEurope2: I would reboot. nVidia does a strange battle with nouveau for the frame buffer [22:25] L3top: could blacklist nouveau ;) [22:26] I have to be doing something wrong about that resolution. [22:26] It still won't show the custom one I set up. [22:26] has someone expierience with processor context corrupt on ubuntu 11.10 [22:26] I'm using gnome-shell, is there a way to make dialogs moveable? [22:26] The nvidia driver does that on install, but it still has hold... that is why the installer cant deal with X active, and requires a reboot. Even modprobing doesn't address it properly... it is really just best to reboot [22:27] ActionParsnip: ^ [22:27] TPBEurope: is the contents in that link the only thing you put in xorg.conf? [22:27] Yeah. [22:27] TPBEurope: may need a modeline [22:27] hey guys [22:27] Can you make it work? [22:28] TPBEurope: dropping out of X, and running nvidia-xconfigure will build a proper xorg.conf, then you can add whatever you are trying to do to that. [22:28] GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: [22:28] when i start hp-setup [22:28] error: No devices found on bus: usb [22:28] TPBEurope: what ARE you trying to do btw? [22:28] i'm sitting here doing absolutely nothing and i had 1.4gb space (i know because it warns me every time i turn on my computer) but now it suddenly gave me another warning that i only have 0.8gb left ... how do i find out what suddenly took up 0.6gb of space on my computer when i'm doing absolutely nothing but browsing wikipedia and using irssi? [22:28] nvidia is going crazy [22:29] It's showing I can run 1440x900 on this monitor. [22:29] Which I can't. [22:29] herpladee: probably in /var/log something bad is probably dumping a lot of verbose stuff to logs [22:29] But it still applied something and switched the resolution.. What the heck? [22:29] TPBEurope: if you just inserted an xorg.conf you found online, that is not all that surprising [22:30] hey can any body please help me copy a photo into the usr/share/backgrounds folder? [22:30] L3top, there was that option to begin with.

[22:30] ActionParsnip, or that lol [22:30] I have no idea. === Guest75139 is now known as richard___ [22:31] L3top, can i delete those logs? [22:31] TPBEurope: you should make your own xorg.conf with: Xorg -configure [22:31] Corey: gksudo for gui apps dude [22:31] herpladee: they might be helpful figuring out what is going on... but yes. [22:31] where would Wine error messages be logged to? [22:31] TPBEurope: then cp ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:31] This is insane. How the hell is it displaying this resolution? [22:31] Could it be tricking me? [22:32] thanks just what i needd [22:32] needed [22:32] herpladee: I am just guessing... run ls -l /var/log and see if anything is of unusual size [22:32] dune you still there? [22:32] herpladee: also look for a coredump someplace... those get big [22:32] thank you so much bye [22:33] wawowe: Seriously though, how does it work there? Does nVidia detect the highest possible resolution or what? [22:33] TPBEurope: yeah [22:33] cerrdor yes [22:33] TPBEurope: your monitor sends EDID data, and the card reads and displays at whatever the EDID indicates, at your selection [22:34] Okay, so that means..? [22:34] hello [22:34] What is your problem TPBEurope, I am not sure what you are trying to fix. [22:34] dune does it let you start hp-setup? Or just when you choose usb it gives you the error? [22:34] TPBEurope: after you generate your xorg.conf add this to the monitor section: Modeline "1280x768_60.00" 80.14 1280 1344 1480 1680 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync [22:35] Dude, I'm running a resolution on a screen that can't handle anything above 1280x1024 yet it displays it only in Ubuntu. [22:35] I've installed a package {badPackage} (not from official repo) that has "corrupted" my apt-get system! apt-get -f install asks to remove packages I don't want remove (packaged installed voluntarily by me and not by package dependencies). Is there any way to remove the {badPackage} without its *fake* dependencies? [22:35] cerrdor, i can start hp-setup [22:36] So the display is not what you expect it to be, or it is malformed on your screen meaning you have to scroll or it appears corrupt TPBEurope? [22:36] mbutubuntu: can you give a pastebin of the output of: sudo apt-get -f install please [22:36] pick one dune either here or PM I cant do both lol [22:37] TPBEurope: and in the screen section under Depth add: Modes "1280x768" [22:38] Is it really possible that it's running it even though the hardware doesn't support it? Can I check to make sure which res it is. [22:38] TPBEurope: if it's happening then the hardware supports it.. just not well [22:38] rollin' === max is now known as Guest11716 [22:39] ActionParsnip, https://gist.github.com/d110e051e20e9def605a - I'm on 10.04 [22:39] It wouldn't have displayed it in the options if it didn't support it, right? [22:39] because the hardware does not claim to support it does not mean the hardware can not run it TPBEurope. Chances are the boards which run the display were made for multiple models... but the EDID data does not lie, advertizing does. [22:39] TPBEurope: use xrandr -s 1280x1024 [22:39] TPBEurope: if you don't need the modeline for that other resolution [22:40] I wonder if I can enable this on Windows. [22:40] I really want 1440 x 900 on Windows :P [22:40] If he is running an xorg.conf now wawowe I dont believe xrandr changes will work [22:40] It defaults to xorg.conf IF xorg.conf exists [22:41] Is there a chance the monitor may blow up? :P [22:41] I would also not think that modlines would be necessary, just set resolution under screen options defaults [22:42] TPBEurope: if xrandr -s 1024x1024 doesn't work you can xrandr --addmode [22:42] How do i spin down my hardisk after 2-3 hours idle? [22:43] wawowe, What does that do exactly? [22:43] Eagleman: there's an option in power options I believe [22:43] TPBEurope: changes display resolution [22:43] ActionParsnip, solved with dpkg -r --force-depends (from http://askubuntu.com/a/32899) [22:44] Size 1280x768 not found in available modes [22:44] * L3top does not understand this quest for worse resolution [22:45] TPBEurope: xrandr --newmode "1280x768_60.00" 80.14 1280 1344 1480 1680 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync [22:45] mbutubuntu: sweet :) [22:46] TPBEurope: xrandr --addmode LVDS "1280x768" === guyyy is now known as shojo [22:46] TPBEurope: xrandr --addmode LVDS "1280x768_60.00" [22:47] what do i need to add to boot.ini in windows xp , so grub2 will load? [22:47] donvito, i think you need to do a chainload to grub.. there's easybcd app which may help.. [22:47] xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default [22:47] xrandr: cannot find output "LVDS" [22:47] ActionParsnip, :-) [22:47] donvito, oh wait.. this is xp [22:48] donvito, it'll be better to use grub2 [22:48] TPBEurope: type xrandr by itself [22:48] donvito, grub2 can chainload xp [22:48] but first shows boot.ini [22:48] not grub2 [22:48] i want to make grub2 shows first [22:48] as boot menu [22:48] TPBEurope: what are the different resolutions listed under? [22:48] and i think i installed ubuntu from wubi [22:49] with usb stick [22:49] donvito, so make grub2 install to /dev/ [22:49] xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default [22:49] Screen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1440 x 900, maximum 1440 x 1024 [22:49] default connected 1440x900+0+0 0mm x 0mm [22:49] Holy crap. It can go up to 1440x1024?! [22:49] donvito, can you boot into ubuntu? [22:49] TPBEurope: one line lower [22:49] yes if i put my usb stick [22:49] TPBEurope: what does it say [22:49] TPBEurope: higher res = lower refresh :) [22:49] if i dont put i get some eror hal.dll [22:49] donvito2, ubuntu installer or or "installed" is on usb? [22:50] 1280x1024 50.0 92.0 51.0 [22:50] installer is on usb [22:50] ActionParsnip, As long as I'm running it, buddy :P [22:50] Hello. i am experimenting with a dd command to put zero bytes on all the sectors my ecternal HDD has. However, after writing my password in the terminal it shows absolutely nothing. Is the zero-byte-writing in progress or i am doing something wrong? === chalced is now known as chalcedony [22:50] donvito, is ubuntu installed? [22:50] yes [22:50] TPBEurope: doesn't say anything like "CRT connected"? [22:51] donvito, boot into rescue shell with usb installer [22:51] Don't see that anywhere. [22:51] x3no: yes. [22:51] but i need to disconect from here [22:51] TPBEurope: look for the word "connected" [22:51] x3no: unless you did something wrong [22:51] I pasted that up there ^^ [22:51] hi chalcedony [22:51] TPBEurope: oh sorry [22:52] :P [22:52] TPBEurope: xrandr --addmode default "1280x768_60.00" [22:52] donvito, oh [22:52] donvito, um.. [22:52] hi all [22:52] in boot.ini [22:52] Eh xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default [22:52] xrandr: cannot find mode "1280x768_60.00" [22:52] hi hi ActionParsnip :)) [22:52] donvito, try doing a chroot after mount --bind if needed, then grub-install /dev/ [22:52] good to see you :) [22:52] donvito, you have /dev/sda or /dev/sdb as harddrive? [22:52] i will write this c:\grub2.mbr="GRUB2 Bootloader" [22:52] TPBEurope: xrandr --newmode "1280x768_60.00" 80.14 1280 1344 1480 1680 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync [22:53] L3top: did not know that zero byting takes so much time :/ [22:53] is there any way to set up an encrypted logical volume (luks) to just use your login to the system? [22:53] donvito, i don't know/remember how good xp's boot.ini is, but I know vista's is good enough.. but you can use vista's on xp [22:53] how do I add the system monitor applet to the bar on top, this new "Unity" thing confuses the heck outta me [22:53] xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default [22:53] donvito, i mean.. you "cant".. use vista [22:53] 's.. [22:53] ok [22:53] second ill try something [22:53] Man, this xrandr is a pain in the ass. [22:54] donvito, but u can boot with what i told you to try fixing grub2 [22:55] donvito, are you able to determine if it's /dev/sda or sdb ? [22:55] TPBEurope: use Xorg -configure [22:55] btw anyone knows if this tool is good? http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/ [22:55] Server is already active for display 0 [22:55] If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock [22:55] and start again. [22:56] is anyone even familar with what using an encrypted volume is like? If I create another logical volume on an existing system and encrypt it, do I have to enter my pass phrase after logging into the system every time I fire up the computer? [22:56] TPBEurope: ctrl+alt+f1 and service lightdm stop [22:56] good night [22:56] will that stop the gui? [22:56] ejv: if you installed indicator-multiload, you need to create an entry in Startup Applications for it so it starts when your session starts (and optionally run it manually so you don't have to logout/login to start it now) [22:56] TPBEurope: yes [22:56] what do I do then.. [22:57] TPBEurope: Xorg -configure [22:57] or if its nvidia based: sudo nvidia-xconfig [22:57] If it doesn't work I do lightdm start I iamgine. [22:57] It is nvidia based. [22:57] nvidia has a native tool. sudo nvidia-xconfigure [22:58] or maybe it is nvidia-xconfig [22:58] TPBEurope: then ctrl+alt+f1, then ctrl+c, then cp ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then service lightdm start [22:58] donvito, your problem is. [22:58] TPBEurope: all as root or with sudo [22:58] donvito, you have to know if grub2's stage1 or stage is implanted on linux's / partition [22:58] hold on, gotta write that thing down :P [22:59] donvito, or know if your supplied .mbr file has a compatbile grub2 stage1 [22:59] ugh... TPBEurope just use sudo nvidia-xconfigure [23:00] It will generate an nvidia specific xorg.conf and place it where it goes. [23:01] x3no, you're trying to wipeout an entire drive? btw.. you wouldnt say "zero bytes" but a stream of bytes of value "0" [23:02] trism: thanks! i'll give that a try [23:02] donvito, xp can be booted from grub2.. if you're really stuck and lost, i'd take http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/ a look if the ubuntu install cd is giving more issues [23:03] ,(or if the usb installer isnt very promising) [23:03] this startup applications seems awfully windowsy [23:04] Oopsy-daisy. I have a problem. [23:04] Whenever I try doing Command-Alt-F1 it goes to a orange screen without any input available. [23:05] *an [23:05] TPBEurope: try alft+f2 then. [23:05] TPBEurope, probably a kms issue (kernelmodesetting for video) [23:05] !kms [23:06] ello [23:06] I just installed 12.04 and I cant reszie using the bottom corners [23:06] the border is to small [23:06] ismell, try using systemsettings/mouse and increase the drag threshold [23:07] Nope. [23:07] Is there any way to get out of then without having to reboot? [23:07] TPBEurope: you are using ctrl alt f2 [23:07] TPBEurope, your keyboard becomes frozen? [23:08] Si. [23:08] oh i'll try that [23:08] * you said command and jagginess left off ctlr [23:08] TPBEurope, so you cant do alt+ ? (that'll change different tty's) [23:08] Hello. How can I disable the nvidia drivers in 12.04 since they freeze my system? Please pm me cause I'm writing from my phone. [23:08] just checking. [23:08] No, I cannot. [23:08] blz777: use nomodeset at the grub menu [23:08] TPBEurope: if you installed openssh-server, ssh [23:08] TPBEurope, (btw you can do alt- once in plaintext do change tty's) [23:08] The only thing I can do in that inteface is press Control-Alt-Delete. [23:09] ok [23:09] so its not compeltely frozen then.. [23:09] Sandy's, I'm in terminal only [23:09] hrmm, that's stil only gives me 1px to grab [23:09] TPBEurope, you tried ctl-alt-f7 afterwards or ctl-alt-f8 ? [23:09] TPBEurope: ctrl-alt-f7 should get you back to unity. [23:09] sandyd * [23:09] blz777: when you boot, can you access the grub menu? [23:09] I'm gonna try it now. If I quit, that means it failed :P [23:10] blz777: wait. You can boot to the terminal? [23:10] Grub, ok got it now [23:10] Sorry, I'm very sleepy.. so [23:10] Yeah, I can get back to Unity just fine. [23:10] But I still can't do anything over there. [23:11] I have to boot with parameters? [23:11] Hi Team, I'm having trouble dual booting win7 and ubuntu, ubuntu installer sees drives as blank with no partitions whereas they have windows partitions already. Any urls/guides that show what I'm doing wrong? [23:11] blz777: Wait. I asked if you can boot to a terminal, or if you are getting a black screen. [23:11] Outlander, you using dynamic disk? [23:12] Outlander: resize the NTFS is Windows (if you haven't left free space) [23:12] blz777, i would type "stop lightdm" as root and see if you can access the physical console.. [23:12] blz777, can you do that? [23:12] not sure, but can find out. What's the default disk type for a win7 install? This is a fresh install and I'm free to re-install eitherway [23:12] I am able to get a terminal with ctrl alt f2 before the ui freeze [23:12] Outlander: and chkdsk your NTFS partition too, so you know it's healthy [23:12] TPBEurope: xrandr -s 1280x1024 [23:12] I have a new dell inspiron 15R special edition (includes msata 32gig ssd) [23:12] TPBEurope: xrandr -s 1024x768 [23:12] blz777: Login to the terminal. Type in "sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current" [23:13] blz777, it must be X leeching the keyboard.. if you try "stop lightdm", X should release it [23:13] I'm sorry I'm typing so slow, but I'm in my phone .. [23:13] I install windows first, then go to install ubuntu. Ubuntu disk tool can see all the partitions fine, the installer cannot [23:13] Also tried alternate text install [23:13] wawowe, still not available. [23:13] Ok, trying it now.. [23:13] Outlander, i believe you have to choose the last option that allows more custom partitioning.. [23:13] TPBEurope: are there no other resolutions listed under default connected when you run xrandr? [23:14] I choose custom partitioning, it then shows both of my drives as blank with no partitions and only free space [23:14] Do you want the full output? [23:14] as if it cannot correctly see or recognise the partition table [23:14] hey [23:14] I've tried GUID as well as MBR partition table to install windows on [23:14] Outlander: do you have unpartitioned space for ubuntu? [23:14] TPBEurope: pastebin it [23:14] does anyone know how i can access the network files from ubuntu? [23:14] Outlander, you're using dynamic disk? (check with windows) [23:14] I have space free for ubuntu partions yes [23:14] Outlander: is the partition dynamic? [23:14] hi [23:15] Ok, I purged nvidia. What now? [23:15] wawowe, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008866/ [23:15] Hi, i have a RAID1 device that's stuck at 7% resyncing. There's no errors, but it's at 7% immediately after a reboot, and never progresses [23:15] Ok, so I'll check if the partition is dynamic? That might be confusing ubuntu? [23:15] (ActionParsnip, not the partition, the partition table -- dynamic disk is M$ format) [23:15] Outlander, no, dynamic disk, is M$ partitioning style format.. [23:15] jagginess: ahh, i see [23:15] See the maximum res now? [23:16] It can change for some reason. [23:16] Outlander, i believe it's not 100% reversed engineered by the ldm project [23:16] If it is dynamic, I can use windows to switch it back to basic? [23:16] Outlander: sure [23:16] Outlander, you can, but with paragon's tool.. not m$ [23:16] hello everybody [23:16] so what's the best way to install both OSes, what order and with what caveats? [23:17] Jagginess, stop lightdm gave me: stop: Unknown instance [23:17] TPBEurope: your monitor isn't giving edid info [23:17] what does that mean [23:17] Outlander, what does parted say? or can you acccess gparted? (a gui part tool) [23:17] Outlander: install Ubuntu 2nd so the dual boot is managed automagically [23:17] parted sees all patitions [23:17] blz777, try it with sudo, or try using superuser (sudo su -l) [23:18] blz777, you using 11.10+ ? [23:18] I am having some trouble getting steam to properly install via wine. it keeps saying steam is already installed when I try to bring it in via winetricks, and I can't figure out how to clear the old install out [23:18] jagginess: sudo -i [23:18] 12.04 [23:18] techie1980: you can delete ~/.wine and all the apps you installed will go with it :) [23:18] TPBEurope: boot into single usermode and run the Xorg -configure [23:18] ActionParsnip: but first I'll need to ensure using the tool from Paragon that can ensure the win partitions are not dynamic? [23:18] blz777, should be lightdm as well i believe (past 11.10) [23:19] is that the recovery thing on bootup? [23:19] Outlander: I believe you can change it in disk manager [23:19] Outlander, no.. [23:19] does it matter if I upgraded the kernel, btw> [23:19] Outlander, i said you can check that with windows if you want.. you may possibly be able to tell with linux tools/cli commands [23:19] TPBEurope: and under Depth put: Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" [23:19] and with windows, i can set it back to basic partition? [23:19] Outlander, rt-click computer and choose 'manage'.. in the Disk Management section.. [23:19] Outlander: i believe so [23:19] ok cool [23:20] Will try that and see how I go [23:20] thanks heaps! [23:20] ActionParsnip: are there conf files elsewhere that might also refer to what winetricks thinks is installed? [23:20] TPBEurope: then mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot [23:20] brb [23:20] Ive had trouble with nvidia and 12.04 but found a way to make my system work without nvidia drivers [23:20] Outlander, if its dynamic give me a pm.. i can tell you how to put it back to basic [23:20] blz777, i thought you said it freezes.. so you fixed it? [23:21] I can't find that solution now.. had to do with removing nvidia and setting default drivers for the system [23:21] hello. I am trying to change the screen refresh rate in 12.04. I have a samsung lcd monitor, and an nvidia 260gtx. xrandr says the refresh rate is 50Hz but it should be 60Hz. The nvidia control panel says 60Hz, but how can I be sure what the real refresh rate is? [23:22] Yes, when I manage to start lightdm, it freezes after a minute or so [23:22] Odd: Earlier today I had my laptop on when suddenly a window popped open wanting me to install what appeared to be a language pack. I updated thru synaptic but no language pack was installed. [23:22] It's now stuck at logo screen at startup [23:23] blz777, you're able to um.. boot into runlevel 1.. try working on your real computer than from your phone [23:23] Let me try installing irc from terminal and get back to you [23:24] guest65536: you can use an xorg.conf file and override what is allowed [23:24] guest65536, this is often the case when E-did is not picked up properly (it should say success or fail in /var/log/Xorg.0.log) [23:24] ActionParsnip I will check the xorg.0.log now [23:25] guest65536, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_display_identification_data === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic [23:26] guest65536, sometimes it may happen if the cable is too long or someone is using a kvm (a monitor switch box) [23:26] It said it failed. [23:26] Didn't give a specific error. [23:26] TPBEurope: what failed? [23:26] Xorg -configure. [23:26] hello again [23:27] TPBEurope: are you root? [23:27] Positive. [23:27] jagginess, you there? [23:27] TPBEurope: try: init 2 [23:27] wawowe, Let me just ask. Are you sure you know what I'm trying to do here? [23:28] TPBEurope: you're trying to get a decent resolution on your display [23:28] TPBEurope: that doesn't stretch or distort things [23:28] blz777-hp, you get errors /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? see which driver it actually uses [23:28] wawowe, Yeah, I'm trying to add a few custom res to the nvidia-settings thing. [23:29] TPBEurope: why do you want 1280x768? [23:29] jagginess, i will now [23:29] !ls [23:29] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [23:29] wawowe, So far I thought that was the one it supported. [23:29] oops :D [23:29] wawowe, But it turns out it can go up to 1440 x 1024. [23:29] I'm running 12.04 and I have the following line in /etc/fstab - //192.168.1.21/Kevin /home/kevin/Tower2-Kevin cifs _netdev,file_mode=077,dir_mode=077 0 0. My problem is that the mount is not created on boot, but it is created if I run sudo mount -a in terminal. How do I get it mount at boot? [23:29] TPBEurope: it can't really [23:29] if i only knew how to get out of that epic5 irc i just installed :D [23:29] wawowe, So is it tricking me or what? [23:30] TPBEurope: it didn't give the edid info, so X just made all that up [23:30] * jagginess thinks apt-get install pastebinit , cat /var/log/Xorg.log |pastebinit -t mypasteTitle , then paste url [23:30] wawowe, But.. wait.. [23:30] wawowe, So what the heck am I running now? [23:30] TPBEurope: that's why xrandr didn't work [23:30] TPBEurope: init 2 [23:30] TPBEurope: then hopefully Xorg -configure [23:30] blz777-hp, try ctl-alt-f2 ? [23:31] I installed ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. Sound worked on previous versions. I installed this one fresh. My sound isn't working though. Here is a paste of my alsa logs: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5b73308f5bd30eb10871163137b1da094e5fa6cd [23:31] bozrdang: Probably because it needs samba running before it can mount that. You could try making it an automount, then it will attempt to mount it when you first try to use it [23:31] how do I make the expand window area larger, it's terribly small [23:33] jagginess, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008881 [23:33] Smashcat: Linux newb here. How do I make it an auto mount? [23:33] ejf to expand a window: alt F8 [23:33] sinistrad: had some sound weirdness, but to do with earphones [23:34] recon69_lap, Hrm, I'll try that [23:34] neat trick [23:34] sinistrad, maybe you want a simple ~/.asoundrc file made to specify a default output.. [23:34] not exactly what i was looking for, but helps thanks [23:34] bozrdang: look up the AutoFS stuff - pretty easy to use really. Alternatively you could just add a script to run after the other bootup scripts to run the command you run as root manually. [23:34] jagginess I checked the xorg.0.log file and it looks like the edid was found. I can't see an error, and it looks like it should be set to 60hz, but it's not http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008882/ [23:34] sinistrad: the issue i was getting is that pluggin in earphone would not stop main sound, but booting with earphones in turned off main sound [23:35] Smashcat: thanks. I'll look that up. [23:35] bozrdang: Info on the second option here: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ [23:36] I am having a problem installing steam on ubuntu. I have symlinked my /home/$user/.wine directory to a path with enough space to install games, but steam keeps coming back saying there's not enough free space and giving me how much is availible in my /home. any ideas of how to correct the issue? [23:37] init 2 worked up until the login, upon which it denied every possible login I tried [23:37] recon69_lap, jagginess, the only output device I have is "Dummy Output". The headphones don't seem to work either [23:37] afterward it screwed up the screen and rebooted [23:38] TPBEurope: do you know your password? or have autologin enabled by default or something? [23:38] No, sir. I know it, and auto-login isn't enabled. [23:38] hello world [23:39] blz777-hp-2, cant say much other than try disabling nouveau.kms (you probably can with kernel bootline), and see if the problem goes away [23:39] here is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008889/ and I think it says it should be 60hz. So why is xrandr reporting only 50hz? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008892/ [23:39] wawowe, I know this is stupid to ask but are you sure it is not actually runing the resolution? [23:40] sinistrad, but your playlist devices on that pastebin url shows it isnt a dummy output [23:40] TPBEurope: running the resolution you want? [23:41] Yeah. [23:41] wawowe: Would you like me to demonstrate what I mean? [23:41] TPBEurope: if you're happy with the way it looks then there's no point in changing it [23:41] TPBEurope: yea [23:42] jagginess, that's all it shows in my sound prefs app [23:42] how well does ubuntu run on a macbook air? [23:43] wawowe, hold on a sec. [23:44] sinistrad, aplay --list ? [23:44] !mac [23:44] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [23:44] i believe you need refit.sf.net [23:44] (refit for making linux boot on a mac) [23:45] Hi. When using 'dhclient' and iw/ifconfig manually, I never get a DHCPOFFER. I've installed network-manager and it couldn't connect either. However, when I've installed nm-applet and I clicked on the network name, it works without problems. Is there any rational explanation for this? (this is a wireless/ndiswrapper connection) [23:45] TPBEurope: as far as init 2 boot up normally then edit /etc/init/tty1.conf and change "exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1" --> "exec /sbin/login -f TPBEurope" then reboot into single user, run init 2, then Xorg -configure [23:45] nimei, you either use ifupdown scripts or networkmanager (nmcli, nm* command) [23:46] TPBEurope: replace TPBEurope with your username [23:46] do you mind if I pm you here, or whatever that's called on irc? [23:46] nimei, nm-applet works with dbus/networkmanager [23:46] jagginess: My goal would be to connect without the need for network-manager at all. [23:46] TPBEurope: go ahead [23:46] jagginess, http://pastebin.com/Y61M6Q6X [23:46] I need to run the output of /var/log/messages in the terminal with -f how do I do that? [23:46] nimei, ya.. that's possible.. but you have to edit networkmanager conf, (there's manpages but not much tutorials on this) [23:46] Cerrdor: perhaps you're thinking of: tail -f /var/log/messages [23:47] sinistrad, as regular user try, /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset 0 [23:47] that will show the end of /var/log/messages, and it will keep running, showing each line as it is added to the file [23:47] EliahKagan, yeah after I pasted that I realized I was missing something crucial lol [23:48] scratch that.. it doesnt exists anymore [23:48] sinistrad, ^ [23:49] jagginess, No such file or directory [23:49] jagginess, yep [23:49] Sorry, disconnected. [23:49] sinistrad, there a ~/.asoundrc file? [23:49] jagginess, no. Not sure how to create one [23:50] Folks, any idea on how to install Tibesti, the screen recorder in 12.04? [23:50] sinistrad, is this an onboard audio or a card audio? [23:50] jagginess, onboard laptop audio [23:50] sinistrad, what model is it? [23:51] sinistrad, often more than not, sometimes a fix to this for laptops has to do with passing a special parameter [23:51] jagginess here is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008889/ It looks 60hz is configured. but why is xrandr still not showing it correctly? [23:51] (for the sound module) [23:52] jagginess, 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [23:52] sinistrad, no.. the laptop model.. [23:53] jagginess, HP HDX 16-1140US [23:54] TPBEurope: sudo apt-get install tibesti -- or you can do it from synaptic or USC [23:55] oh it's not in the repos I think [23:55] !info tibesti [23:55] Package tibesti does not exist in precise [23:56] ActionParsnip: yes it does.. it is in the extra repos [23:58] sinistrad, no sound ever plays with aplay ? [23:58] GeekSquid: never said it didn't :) [23:58] ActionParsnip: perhaps I should be speaking to our gentle bot [23:58] sinistrad, if i were you i'd take to see if i need special module parameters (like model= ) .. these go into the module options file, or can be tested on the fly with the modprobe command.. [23:59] found it, nvm folks [23:59] sinistrad, the option parameters are passed to the snd-hda-intel module [23:59] jagginess, I created an .asoundrc file. I guess I'll need to relog to try if it works [23:59] sinistrad, may be related, you probably need something much simpler than what this post has.. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1191894.html
