| dr3mro | ActionParsnip, I am a unity Pro ! | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| tonsofpcs | what is gauke? | 00:00 |
| Browser | werder: yes | 00:00 |
| dr_willis | !info guake | 00:00 |
| ubottu | guake (source: guake): Drop-down terminal for GNOME Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.2-7 (precise), package size 147 kB, installed size 894 kB | 00:00 |
| reisio | tonsofpcs: it's a terminal that hides off screen until you tell it to show up | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tonsofpcs: did you ever play half life, counterstrike or quake? | 00:00 |
| reisio | that is: it's a terminal with predefined shortcuts to appear and disappear | 00:00 |
| dr3mro | will wayland composite support replace compiz !! | 00:00 |
| tonsofpcs | ah, so it's ` ;) | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tonsofpcs: exactly | 00:01 |
| tonsofpcs | [that's a yes, ActionParsnip] | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | tonsofpcs: there is a lighter guake-like app called tilde too :) | 00:01 |
| tonsofpcs | dr3mro: I still want e17 to replace compiz... | 00:01 |
| Browser | ActionParsnip: no, it is strange in the before Ubuntu's version i hadn't problems | 00:01 |
| tonsofpcs | but ~ is tilde, wouldn't tilde be the 'high brow' version of grave? | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | tonsofpcs: its great, run a command then hide the terminal, you can check progress by bringing it back down :) | 00:01 |
| dr_willis | f12 may be geting grabbed by the desktop | 00:02 |
| tonsofpcs | ActionParsnip: so it's like screen for my gui screen? :) | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | tonsofpcs: its just a drop down terminal, dead handy | 00:02 |
| ipproblem | ActionParsnip: I fixed the problem... I resolved the IP for us.archive.ubuntu.com and then wrote it into /etc/hosts | 00:02 |
| dr3mro | tonsofpcs, I think all composite managers will die for wayland as it will be a part of it as a plugin !! i read something like that | 00:02 |
| Browser | Well, i am going to restart again.. | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ipproblem: nice | 00:02 |
| tonsofpcs | dr3mro: have you ever used enlightenment? | 00:03 |
| Browser | Bye, thanks. | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Browser: make sure you link /usr/share/applications/guake.desktop in ~/.config/autostart | 00:03 |
| dr3mro | tonsofpcs, No! | 00:03 |
| Browser | ok | 00:03 |
| trism | gkatsev: looks like it needs a bit of updating for 12.04, but otherwise it looks accurate. if you have to download the packages, in addition to the packages listed you will also need: dkms, the linux-headers packages for your kernel version and the ndiswrapper-dkms package | 00:03 |
| trism | gkatsev: I think everything else should be installed by default | 00:03 |
| tonsofpcs | dr3mro: i highly recommend it | 00:03 |
| tonsofpcs | when I used linux for 'desktop' work, it was amazing. | 00:03 |
| dr3mro | when will 3.4 kernel hit ubuntu precise repos!! | 00:03 |
| Browser | ActionParsnip: yes, there is a link | 00:04 |
| tonsofpcs | (I now don't do 'desktop' work outside of work so it's not really useful) | 00:04 |
| dr3mro | tonsofpcs, but I use unity and it needs compiz! | 00:04 |
| CoJaBo | Er. Why does it show up in the boot menu as "Ubuntu, with Linux"? lol | 00:04 |
| robertzaccour | how do I enable the codecs for kdenlive? | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | dr3mro: it won't, it's a Quantal kernel | 00:04 |
| tonsofpcs | but e17 > unity. | 00:04 |
| tonsofpcs | (I know, I'm a heathen for saying that here) | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | dr3mro: there are 3rd party sources for the kernel but it won't be suppored here | 00:04 |
| dr_willis | e17.. has issues. | 00:05 |
| werder | dr3mro: 3.4 won't be coming to 12.04 | 00:05 |
| gkatsev | trism: do I need the linux-headers if I'm just installing from apt-get? | 00:05 |
| myhero | how to save the full irssi log of the current session ? | 00:05 |
| KRomo | 3.4 kernel wont work with nvidia driver, beware | 00:05 |
| tonsofpcs | dr_willis: it does? is e16 the stable one then? I always get the two confused... | 00:05 |
| myhero | how to save the full irssi log of the current session ? | 00:05 |
| dr_willis | tonsofpcs: both have really quirky... quirks. | 00:05 |
| tonsofpcs | myhero: I think it only logs from the point you set logging on ... | 00:06 |
| dr3mro | ActionParsnip, I did install it by back porting it from quantal to my personal PPA on launchpad !! but wouldn't it be nice if it's available in the repos as an option!!! | 00:06 |
| KRomo | how do i check for drive errors in ubuntu? | 00:06 |
| harushimo | can someone write that symbolic link code for virtual box | 00:06 |
| myhero | tonsofpc: means.... | 00:06 |
| tonsofpcs | dr_willis: like? | 00:06 |
| trism | gkatsev: yes because ndiswrapper-dkms has to build the ndiswrapper kernel module for your kernel (in previous ubuntu versions it was included in the linux-image package, but dropped in 12.04 unfortunately) | 00:06 |
| tonsofpcs | myhero: 'no' | 00:06 |
| Browser | ActionParsnip: i am going to restart again.. | 00:06 |
| werder | dr3mro: I've heard lots of problems with 3.4 | 00:06 |
| dr3mro | ActionParsnip, even when Quantal is released!! | 00:06 |
| harushimo | I created an icon. I want to do that | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | dr3mro: its not a Precise kernel, it will be in Quantal | 00:06 |
| gkatsev | trism: ah, ok. Maybe that's why it didn't actually connect. | 00:06 |
| myhero | tonsofpf: any way to save irssi log ? | 00:07 |
| dr3mro | werder, for me it has better over all performance and less heat from the FAN !! | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | dr3mro: quantal is 12.10 so will be released in the 10th month of 2012 | 00:07 |
| dr_willis | on my phone cant type a lot. go try them | 00:07 |
| reisio | if it's released on time | 00:07 |
| reisio | which is likely | 00:07 |
| werder | dr3mro: sweet, maybe I'll give it a try then | 00:07 |
| bizukifu | Hi | 00:07 |
| reisio | and you can get betas before then | 00:07 |
| dr3mro | ActionParsnip, I know !! but why not back port it and give the user an option ! | 00:07 |
| con-man | name a good php server program I can stall to test websites locally | 00:07 |
| con-man | *install | 00:07 |
| gkatsev | trism: hm... nope, seems like I already had them installed | 00:07 |
| robertzaccour | How do I enable all kdenlive codecs? | 00:08 |
| reisio | con-man: apache, nginx, php, etc. | 00:08 |
| harushimo | ln -s /usr/bin/virtualbox ~/Desktop/Virtual.desktop | 00:08 |
| reisio | bizukifu: hi | 00:08 |
| werder | dr3mro: the Canonical team is pretty small for the size of the base. They only have so many people. | 00:08 |
| harushimo | is this the correct command? | 00:08 |
| con-man | reisio, oh apache has native php support? w00t. | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | harushimo: you want to link the desktop file in /usr/share/applications | 00:08 |
| harushimo | it should | 00:08 |
| trism | gkatsev: had what installed? | 00:08 |
| gkatsev | trism: the linux-headers | 00:09 |
| dr3mro | werder, it's only autobuild the kernel for both versions >>> all building is in launchpad by some clicks | 00:09 |
| dabor | myhero, /LASTLOG -file ~/irc.log | 00:09 |
| piper69_ | hello i am trying to add mediabuntu to my rep. but it keeps failling "sudo -E wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update" | 00:09 |
| harushimo | ln -s /usr/bin/virtualbox /usr/share/applications/Virtual.desktop | 00:09 |
| harushimo | like that? | 00:09 |
| piper69_ | can someone please help me | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | harushimo: no | 00:10 |
| dr_willis | harushimo: a. desktop file is not a binary executable | 00:10 |
| === notmegazig is now known as _schism_ | ||
| dr3mro | piper69_, !? | 00:10 |
| werder | dr3mro: right but remember 12.04 is their new business release and they don't want people coming to them with problems they can't support | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | harushimo: ln -s /usr/share/applications/virtualbox.desktop ~/Desktop/VirtualBox.desktop | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | harushimo: use TAB to complete the names | 00:10 |
| CoJaBo | Loll.. Wifi still doesn't work "out of the box" -_-' | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | harushimo: it's: ln -s source dest | 00:10 |
| harushimo | got it | 00:10 |
| piper69_ | dr3mro: i am trying to add w32codec for vlc to play wmv files | 00:10 |
| harushimo | right | 00:10 |
| dr_willis | CoJaBo: did for me | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | CoJaBo: depends on the chip...ALL my wifis work out of the box | 00:11 |
| CoJaBo | dr_willis: Huh; well it says the driver is installed and in use, but no wifi card appears. | 00:11 |
| dr3mro | werder, but in 2 years new hardware will emerge and busness users need new kernel as will as kernel installing is pretty safe as it never over write the old kern | 00:11 |
| harushimo | virtual box source destination for me is /usr/bin/virtualbox | 00:11 |
| piper69_ | i have wasted 1hr trying to get this thing to work instead of studying | 00:11 |
| piper69_ | please help | 00:11 |
| harushimo | why wouldn't you use this | 00:11 |
| reisio | piper69_: okay | 00:11 |
| harushimo | after this, I'm done | 00:12 |
| harushimo | thank you | 00:12 |
| werder | dr3mro: remember lots of businesses haven't upgraded from XP yet. Change is bad and I don't think Ubuntu hardware requirements will be drastically different 2 years from now. | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | harushimo: thats the binary, not the desktop file which will give a decent icon | 00:12 |
| piper69_ | resisio i tried smplayer,mplayer, vlc and all are not playing the wmv | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | harushimo: you can use the binary if you want but it won't look too great and may get lost in the rest | 00:12 |
| rhorstkoetter | hi. does anyone have issues with nouveau video drivers while booting up the system? I get "video frequency too high (german translation)" while booting up and everything switches back to normal once lightdm is reached. using ubuntu 12.04 | 00:13 |
| dr3mro | werder, but new k | 00:13 |
| reisio | piper69_: does 'rei' and then hitting TAB not work in chatzilla? | 00:13 |
| dr3mro | werder, but newer kern means more hardware support !! | 00:13 |
| harushimo | whenever creating icons on 10.04, I was using the binaries | 00:13 |
| harushimo | interesting | 00:13 |
| harushimo | thank you | 00:13 |
| piper69_ | reisio: opps , sorry i am just frustrated | 00:13 |
| rhorstkoetter | or even better, a solution. dmesg doesn't provide any error messages | 00:13 |
| harushimo | take care everyone | 00:13 |
| reisio | piper69_: just checking | 00:13 |
| reisio | piper69_: how big is the file? | 00:13 |
| mikeconcepts | something new, opened Places from the Unity launch bar and the Places icon started a rocking animation, won't do it again, wonder what happened | 00:14 |
| werder | dr3mro: yes but many kernel upgrade break things for people and businesses want an LTS to be stable. | 00:14 |
| CoJaBo | K, so where to start getting wifi to work? :/ | 00:14 |
| neso | hi guys | 00:14 |
| robertzaccour | How do I enable all kdenlive codecs? | 00:14 |
| piper69_ | reisio: there is alot of them , 13-15Mb | 00:14 |
| browser | ActionParsnip: doesn't work the guake | 00:14 |
| neso | today i install ubuntu 12.04 and dont detect my 3g usb modem | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | CoJaBo: what wifi chip do you use? | 00:15 |
| piper69_ | sorry i should say MB megabytes and not bits | 00:15 |
| browser | i have restarted and nothing | 00:15 |
| CoJaBo | ActionParsnip: Broadcom somthing.. | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | browser: use startup apps and remove the one in there, then make the link yourself | 00:15 |
| mikeconcepts | I see now, if it opens behind another window it rocks | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !broadcom | CoJaBo | 00:15 |
| ubottu | CoJaBo: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 00:15 |
| reisio | piper69_: if you can upload one somewhere I can take a look at it, determine what you need | 00:15 |
| neso | i have Alcatel one touch X200D usb modem pls help thanks | 00:15 |

| reisio | piper69_: right | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | CoJaBo: read ubottus' link :) | 00:16 |
| neso | guys? | 00:16 |
| CoJaBo | Waiting for firefox to load.. | 00:16 |
| piper69_ | reisio: "No suitable decoder module: | 00:16 |
| piper69_ | VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this." this is what i get when i try to pllay them | 00:17 |
| piper69_ | reisio: i am on 10.10 | 00:17 |
| CoJaBo | piper69_: Tried mplayer? | 00:17 |
| CoJaBo | It supports more of the really obscure codecs | 00:17 |
| roasted | Question - did I goof this up? I ran "sudo usermod -G motion jason". Did I successfully add the user jason to the group motion? | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | piper69_: Maverick is no longer supported | 00:18 |
| piper69_ | CoJaBo: yes and its not working | 00:18 |
| browser | ActionParsnip: startup apps? | 00:18 |
| reisio | piper69_: windows media video 9 is relatively new and not 100% supported, your best bet would be to use a live snapshot from mplayer trunk | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | browser: yes, search dash | 00:18 |
| reisio | or ffmpeg (and convert them) | 00:18 |
| quiescens | roasted: adduser is probably safer | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | piper69_: I suggest you upgrade to a supported release, Maverick is now dead | 00:18 |
| piper69_ | reisio: ?! | 00:18 |
| reisio | piper69_: alternatively, tell your instructor you're already paying for the class and don't need to be forced to use Windows on top of it | 00:18 |
| browser | ok | 00:19 |
| quiescens | roasted: as far as I am aware, you probably removed jason from all groups other than motion as well | 00:19 |
| roasted | quiescens, dangit. Now I'm getting that jason isn't part of the sudoers file. Somehow I must have booted him out accidentally. | 00:19 |
| roasted | quiescens, lol, yep. unfortunately. | 00:19 |
| roasted | quiescens, dang I suck. I did this over SSH too... | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: sudo usermod -a -G motion jason | 00:19 |
| piper69_ | ActionParsnip: i don't like the new GUI | 00:19 |
| KRomo | today, it took a really long time for ubuntu to boot...why? | 00:19 |
| escott | roasted, you have been on here enough to know never to use usermod -G without -a | 00:19 |
| KRomo | sat on purple screen | 00:19 |
| roasted | escott, no kidding. | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: you are adding the user to a supplementary group, your command wil make the user in ONLY the motion group | 00:19 |
| escott | KRomo, probably checking the filesystem | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | piper69_: you don't have to use it | 00:20 |
| gvo | KRomo: probably fscking the disk | 00:20 |
| KRomo | oh ok | 00:20 |
| reisio | piper69_: http://www.andrews-corner.org/mplayer.html | 00:20 |
| KRomo | why would it do that? | 00:20 |
| roasted | escott, I wasn't thinking. Sitting out here on the deck with the puppy, he ran off just as I was typing the command... came back and facepalmed. | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | KRomo: what GPU do you use? | 00:20 |
| quiescens | roasted: i typically use: adduser (user) (group) | 00:20 |
| gvo | KRomo: cause it doest it periodically | 00:20 |
| gvo | does | 00:20 |
| roasted | quiescens, even if the user already exists? | 00:20 |
| quiescens | roasted: just so that forgetting an option doesn't go and obliterate their groups | 00:20 |
| neso | guys ?pls help me,cant connect to internet (im using old HDD 12Gb now >win xp) wanna be on ubuntu pls help | 00:20 |
| gvo | KRomo: Just to be sure all is well. | 00:20 |
| quiescens | roasted: yeah | 00:20 |
| KRomo | nvidia gtx 460 | 00:20 |
| piper69_ | easy to just wipe ubuntu and install windows i guess | 00:20 |
| escott | KRomo, it will do so automatically every 20 reboots or so. it should be fairly quick with ext4 unless your disk is really large | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | piper69_: doesn't make maverick supported, you need to upgrade to at least Natty, which is EOL in October | 00:21 |
| piper69_ | bummer | 00:21 |
| neso | piper | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | piper69_: could install XFCE and use that, its very similar to Gnome 2 | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | piper69_: Gnome is not the only desktlop | 00:21 |
| KRomo | ok cool, it wasnt super long just longer than usual its a 90gb ssd sata 3 so it is not big and not slow | 00:21 |
| neso | i install ubuntu 12.04 ,and ubuntu dont detect my 3G usb mode :( | 00:21 |
| escott | KRomo, you can hit the up arrow and see what it is doing but you probably got concerned when your 3 second boot became 6 seconds :) | 00:22 |
| reisio | piper69_: or... go to a computer lab and convert them | 00:22 |
| KRomo | im so happy with ubuntu, my computer isnt obsolete by any means but i built it in 2007 | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | piper69_: you could even install KDE and use that | 00:22 |
| reisio | piper69_: or, as already mentioned, tell your instructor you shouldn't be charged an additional $200 just to watch some videos for his class | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | piper69_: or LXDE.. | 00:22 |
| KRomo | and its running great | 00:23 |
| piper69_ | ActionParsnip: i will give that a try, do i just upgrade from synaptic | 00:23 |
| roasted | quiescens, now, remind me... if I boot up to root recovery shell... I can get jason back in sudoers. no? sudo usermod -a -G ...... jason.... | 00:23 |
| KRomo | 5 year old computer running pretty well | 00:23 |
| roasted | quiescens, would I have to edit sudoers or is there a group I can plug in? | 00:23 |
| Jordan_U | !eolupgrade | piper69_ | 00:23 |
| reisio | piper69_: and if you upload one of the files I can tell you whether svn mplayer supports it or not | 00:23 |
| emmanuel_ | hola | 00:23 |
| Jordan_U | !eol | piper69_ | 00:23 |
| ubottu | piper69_: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | piper69_: could do, I'd just clean install with Precise then install gnome-panel :) | 00:23 |
| reisio | I could even convert them for you if there aren't too many | 00:23 |
| quiescens | roasted: the group you need is probably admin | 00:24 |
| quiescens | roasted: adm, sorry | 00:24 |
| roasted | quiescens, k... time to bust out a monitor and hook it up to the box. | 00:24 |
| roasted | oh? adm? | 00:24 |
| neso | anyone lol | 00:24 |
| reisio | neso: yes roflbeans? | 00:24 |
| quiescens | roasted: oh wait, no, admin | 00:24 |
| quiescens | strange | 00:24 |
| roasted | haha, yeah admin sounds familiar | 00:24 |
| reisio | neso: what's the modem make/model? | 00:24 |
| roasted | appreciate it quiescens | 00:24 |
| quiescens | roasted: admin or sudo | 00:24 |
| quiescens | both should work | 00:24 |
| neso | alcatel one touch x200d | 00:24 |
| quiescens | by default | 00:24 |
| roasted | admin rings a bell | 00:24 |
| reisio | neso: usb? | 00:25 |
| quiescens | roasted: to be sure, have a quick read of /etc/sudoers | 00:25 |
| neso | yes | 00:25 |
| roasted | admin is at least listed in the gui and references to having sudo rights | 00:25 |
| reisio | neso: what does lsusb say about it? | 00:25 |
| piper69_ | ohhh shooot that means i will loose all my class notes and ather files | 00:25 |
| neso | sec | 00:25 |
| roasted | quiescens, I even thought I set up a 2nd admin account on this box too. clearly I failed there as well. I normally have a 2nd admin account for backup purposes... | 00:25 |
| piper69_ | i will be dead if anything happen to this laptop | 00:25 |
| roasted | quiescens, at any rate, brb. time to giv eit a go | 00:25 |
| dr_willis | backups... use them. :) | 00:26 |
| piper69_ | easy way to backup my tomboy notes to my usb | 00:26 |
| KRomo | what command will let me test my hd speed? | 00:26 |
| KRomo | read/write | 00:26 |
| BobFromAccountin | hello | 00:27 |
| dr_willis | tomboy has export features i tecall | 00:27 |
| reisio | hi | 00:27 |
| reisio | neso: yeah? | 00:27 |
| escott | KRomo, hdparm can do some tests, but it doesnt test filesystem throughput for those you want something like bonnie++ | 00:27 |
| neso | reisio Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1bbb:0000 T & A Mobile Phones | 00:27 |
| KRomo | i just wanna see how fast it is | 00:27 |
| neso | i make ss so sorry if im wrong | 00:27 |
| BobFromAccountin | nikolay negrobov | 00:27 |
| piper69_ | also is there is a way i can have a dump of all my pkgs so i can install them again | 00:27 |
| BobFromAccountin | yes | 00:27 |
| vexaxv | does anyone here use truecrypt? | 00:27 |
| escott | !clone | piper69_ | 00:27 |
| ubottu | piper69_: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate | 00:27 |

| ActionParsnip | piper69_: I'd do a clean install of Precise from USB or CD, be sure you backup all you need | 00:36 |

| dsnyders | Hi all! I put my machine to sleep for 60s using rtcwake, and when it awoke, I wound up with a blank screen: No mouse, no cursor, nothing. I am able to ssh into the box, so I think it has something to do with the graphics. Any suggestions for getting it to wake up fully? | 00:37 |
| brian__ | this is totaly new to me | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | brian__: is the file system mounted read only? | 00:38 |
| brian__ | No clue why it would be. | 00:38 |
| brian__ | what's the CL check? | 00:38 |
| ActionParsnip | brian__: if there are issues the default is to mount read only | 00:38 |
| brian__ | hm. | 00:38 |
| roasted_ | hi | 00:38 |
| ActionParsnip | brian__: mount will show you how things are mounted | 00:38 |
| roasted_ | quiescens: still out there? | 00:38 |
| quiescens | ? | 00:38 |
| roasted_ | quiescens: saying admin group does not exist. sitting at a root recovery now. :( | 00:39 |
| quiescens | check /etc/groups? | 00:39 |
| quiescens | or /etc/sudoers | 00:39 |
| brian__ | I just got awarnig: etc/mtab is not writable . | 00:39 |
| brian__ | when i did mount | 00:39 |
| escott | roasted_, 12.04 uses sudo instead of admin | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | brian__: thats fine, its only a warning | 00:39 |
| roasted_ | quiescens: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL exists in /etc/sudoers | 00:40 |
| roasted_ | escott: sudo usermod -G sudo jason ??????? | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | brian__: sounds like you didn't shutdown cleanly last time | 00:40 |
| brian__ | also, my keyboard seems to not want to let me hit the same key twice very quickly. Any idea on that? | 00:40 |

| ActionParsnip | roasted_: -G -a dude, again... | 00:40 |
| roasted_ | ActionParsnip: sorry, -a isn't listed on any site I'm googling with. Keep forgetting... | 00:40 |
| quiescens | roasted_: yeah, try sudo group too, it should have both | 00:40 |
| escott | roasted_, yes. its the debian way and they evidently wanted to eliminate one cause for issues during conversion | 00:40 |
| quiescens | that's totally why i use adduser instead | 00:41 |
| quiescens | lol | 00:41 |

| escott | roasted_, write to the webadmin to fix his website | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | piper69_: ok | 00:41 |
| Zyclops1 | i'm trying to work out how to open an ssh connection to a local server. I'm fairly novice at server administration stuff. Locally i can ssh on port 22 to the server, but externally i can not. On my router i have port 22 forwarded to the router. I can ping the router. however when i ssh to it, it does not connect. I've done /sudo/sbin/iptables —list-rules and it just says INPUT/FORWARD/OUTPUT are all set to acc | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Zyclops1: is it a home grade router? | 00:42 |
| brian__ | ok, this is strange. It wont let me click any check boxes in settings - as if it double clicks every time I click or something | 00:42 |
| Zyclops1 | tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN << this is what netstat -an | grep "LISTEN" outputs | 00:43 |
| Zyclops1 | ActionParsnip: yeah.. it's running DD-WRT | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Zyclops1: tried a reboot? | 00:43 |
| escott | Zyclops1, On my router i have port 22 forwarded to the router <<< i assume you meant "computer" | 00:43 |
| Zyclops1 | ah yeah sorry | 00:43 |
| Zyclops1 | yep and it's forwarded to the correct internal IP address | 00:43 |
| roasted_ | Would it be easier (even possible) to create a new administrator user, then add jason back to the admin group? Everything I'm trying on Google isn't working. | 00:43 |
| Zyclops1 | ActionParsnip: nah i haven't.. of the router or the server? note i can ssh locally into the server | 00:44 |
| escott | Zyclops1, you can run ssh -vvvv and see if it says anything about the connection, but i would double check the router | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted_: you could, just make new and add it to the admin group | 00:44 |
| quiescens | roasted_: did sudo group not work? | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Zyclops1: the router | 00:44 |
| Zyclops1 | escott: ok thanks | 00:44 |
| roasted_ | quiescens: sudo usermod -a -G sudo jason...... no | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Zyclops1: it may need to happen to get the WAN side sorted | 00:44 |
| Zyclops1 | ActionParsnip: awesome i'll try that.. sorry co-workers :) | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted_: thats right | 00:44 |
| Zyclops1 | actually | 00:44 |
| Zyclops1 | i can forward it to my local computer.. on port 80 | 00:44 |
| roasted_ | ActionParsnip: didn't work | 00:44 |
| roasted_ | ActionParsnip: cannot lock /etc/passwd' try again later | 00:45 |
| Zyclops1 | test that port forwarding is actually working at all | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted_: is the file system read only? | 00:45 |
| roasted_ | ActionParsnip: I have no idea. I'm in root recovery. | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted_: run: mount | 00:45 |
| KRomo | sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep -i speed | 00:45 |
| escott | roasted_, assuming it is "mount -o remount,rw / | 00:46 |
| KRomo | :) | 00:46 |
| roasted_ | ActionParsnip: /dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,erroprs=remount-ro) | 00:46 |
| KRomo | confirmed that sata 3 is working | 00:46 |
| escott | KRomo, i would take those hdparm results with a grain of salt it really just testing the bus | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Zyclops1: then edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the port it runs there :) | 00:46 |
| roasted_ | escott: er, I think that worked? | 00:46 |
| KRomo | escott:i just want to be sure that my ssd is getting proper speed | 00:46 |
| escott | roasted_, thats mounted rw then. still getting the /etc/passwd error | 00:46 |
| roasted_ | escott: no, it came back fine. | 00:46 |
| roasted_ | escott: rebooting already. | 00:46 |
| escott | KRomo, i saw your message come though just as i hit enter :) | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | KRomo: isn't -I just info? | 00:47 |
| quiescens | roasted_: probably delete /etc/passwd.lock | 00:47 |
| roasted_ | escott: back in gui, works great. | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | KRomo: sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda will actualy test read/writes | 00:47 |
| roasted_ | quiescens: even though it's working? | 00:47 |
| quiescens | roasted_: oh, no no, that was only if it continued to complain about being locked | 00:48 |

| Shinobi | Can anyone assist with: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1015692/ | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Zyclops1: no, if you can forward to port 80, you may as well use it | 00:49 |

| escott | MoleMan^Away, why would they show up in "network" thats SAMBA which is a windows tool and only installed if you request it | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | MoleMan^Away: right click a folder in nautilus and you can share folders | 00:50 |
| dr_willis | MoleMan^Away: insrall some service to share files. or ssh | 00:50 |
| escott | MoleMan^Away, if you want to do ubuntu->ubuntu file transfers the unix native ways are through NFS or SSH | 00:50 |
| KRomo | is there a better alternative to qwibber? | 00:51 |
| KRomo | i find gwibber very slow | 00:51 |
| quiescens | roasted_: things like lpadmin, plugdev, cdrom | 00:51 |
| MoleMan^Away | I installed 'File sharing' from the software center, the instuctions for that say that they should show up in the network section of the default file browser? | 00:51 |
| Shinobi | Kasplodey: I installed libcurses-ui-perl and libcurses-widgets-perl. Do you know why perl woudn't not be able to find the modules? | 00:51 |

| MoleMan^Away | ActionParsnip: yeah, didn't notice and change it back, now I keep getting "* 435 MoleMan #httpd Cannot change nickname while banned on channel" | 00:53 |

| ivorybishop | I did install from 64bit livecd. | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ivorybishop: are there bugs reported? +1 to escott's why not 64bit install... | 00:57 |

| ActionParsnip | neso: mint isn't supported here | 00:58 |
| escott | ivorybishop, if you installed from a 64bit livecd ou would have a 64bit kernel and pae would not be an option. | 00:58 |
| ivorybishop | but it installed a generic kernel | 00:58 |
| MoleMan^Away | ActionParsnip: I never used to, but various other people do, and I was working on the basis that it makes it a lot more obvious that being marked as idle... | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | !away | MoleMan^Away | 00:58 |
| ubottu | MoleMan^Away: Please do not use noisy away messages and nicks in Ubuntu channels. It is annoying and unnecessary. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» | 00:58 |
| escott | ivorybishop, pae is ONLY for 32bit kernels | 00:58 |

| Kasplodey | Shinobi I can't seem to find any reference to 0.pm in Curses::UI. What's calling this .pm? | 00:59 |
| escott | ivorybishop, install a 64bit kernel would be the best choice. get those extra registers and sse4 if ou hav eit | 00:59 |
| dsnyders | ActionParsnip, I think it is an nVidia video gpu. Any way to check for sure? | 00:59 |
| ivorybishop | but i am not a commandline newbie either | 00:59 |
| MoleMan^Away | ActionParsnip: yeah, okay :) you've said, I get the message :p I just don't get why it recons I'm banned in #httpd yet I am still in the channel and can speak fine etc :/ | 00:59 |

| CoJaBo | http://www.google.com/firefox | 01:16 |
| reisio | CoJaBo: that says you should update? | 01:16 |
| escott | ivorybishop, did you assemble this machine? | 01:17 |
| ivorybishop | escott: no, i only added the 4g additional ram | 01:17 |
| LoOoD | Was the python-pgsql package removed from precise? | 01:17 |
| ivorybishop | its stock as is | 01:17 |
| ivorybishop | that and the nvidia card | 01:17 |
| escott | ivorybishop, and you added it to the empty slots you didnt move anything around | 01:17 |
| ivorybishop | i am not sure about that. i took them all out to test them, they may not be in the original slots | 01:18 |
| reisio | LoOoD: no, it was removed from oneiric | 01:18 |
| reisio | (on) | 01:18 |
| ivorybishop | should i re-arrange them | 01:18 |

| codeM0nK3Y | will obviously differ based on os, but thats what I've got on Mac | 01:19 |
| CoJaBo | reisio: yeh | 01:19 |
| escott | ivorybishop, that could be a problem. whats odd here is that slots 1 and 3 show 1GB DIMMS and slots 2 and 4 show 2GBs DIMMS. IIRC DDR needs to be matched between slots. i would have expected 1 and 2 to be 1GB and 3 and 4 to be 2GB | 01:19 |
| ivorybishop | the two 1g sticks were stock | 01:19 |

| escott | graft, just specify bash as your shebang. i dont understand the problem. | 01:25 |
| danny | ah thank you guys very much that was what i was looking for :D | 01:25 |
| escott | graft, you want it to source your .bashrc or something? | 01:25 |

| ActionParsnip | KRomo: I gave you a link... | 01:29 |
| nannes | ActionParsnip: I don't have it :S | 01:29 |
| escott | Gushings, you would need to do something to tell X11 to only use the integrated. perhaps remove the nvidia/ati drivers, and use Xorg -configure to create and Xorg.conf, and then install the drivers again but use nomodeset on the drivers. alternately do something to blacklist the module on boot and load it after you are up and running | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | nannes: I see, you never said that | 01:29 |

| roasted | Question - anybody use Motion here? I'm having some trouble understanding it. There seems to be two locations to set the startup daemon... One is for automatic startup, the other is for background startup (so it releases the terminal from needing to be present to run). I can't seem to have both running at once, which... I want... I want it to auto start + I want it to have the capability to shut off and manually start background | 01:34 |
| roasted | ed. But it's not working. Any insight? | 01:34 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen some phone to pc cables that are charge only cabled. they dont work for data transfers. | 01:34 |
| weetabeex | whoever has the permissions to do it, should s/portuguêsa/portuguesa/ | 01:35 |

| jamiejackson | Hi Folks. How do I prevent Ubuntu (12.04) from booting to X? I'm trying to troubleshoot something. | 01:35 |
| danny | Dr_Willis: well allso for some reason i have 2 identical samsung cables both came out of the box from the phone and one will only alow me to charge the phone and the other alows everthing but there the exact same | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !text | jamiejackson | 01:36 |
| ubottu | jamiejackson: 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 | 01:36 |
| roasted | Dr_Willis, speaking of which, is /etc/init.d services still supported? I don't think motion uses sudo service... | 01:36 |
| ivorybishop | escott: ok, checked the color coding and i think i got them in the right slots. ran dmicode again: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1015733/ still showing 3.2 in system monitor :( | 01:36 |
| ivorybishop | please advise | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis | roasted: if you look - the init.d scripts are most likely links to upstart scripts. :) i dont mess with services much. | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | jamiejackson: or hold shift at boot and select recovery mode then select root | 01:37 |
| escott | ivorybishop, lets take a look at dmesg then | 01:37 |
| KRomo | wtf | 01:37 |
| roasted | Dr_Willis, ahh I forgot. The reason I don't use /etc/init.d/motion start is because the second it detects motion, the entire service shuts itself off.... | 01:37 |
| KRomo | ./configure --prefix=/usr | 01:38 |
| KRomo | i get configure not found | 01:38 |
| escott | ivorybishop, supposedly it would still work even if it wasnt paired it just wouldnt be dual channel. | 01:38 |
| KRomo | what am i doing wrong? | 01:38 |
| dsnyders | ActionParsnip, I've been going through the commands on the website regarding the nvidia wake from suspend/hibernate. It says to add some lines to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. Should that be blacklist.conf, because there is no file called blacklist | 01:38 |
| jamiejackson | Dr_Willis: ActionParsnip thx. will try text to the kernel line first | 01:38 |
| escott | ivorybishop, so if we get things working you should make sure that your dimms are matching to any color coding on the board itself | 01:38 |
| applebloom | why do they not include vlc with ubuntu | 01:39 |
| applebloom | ? | 01:39 |
| ivorybishop | i see | 01:39 |

| ivorybishop | before pasting | 01:39 |
| applebloom | <Dr_Willis> applebloom: its in the repos - so its easy to install | 01:40 |
| escott | ivorybishop, i dont think so, but that could also depend on your definition of security issues. certainly no plain text passwords should appear | 01:40 |
| applebloom | but why isn't it included with the install | 01:40 |
| ivorybishop | kk | 01:40 |
| dsnyders | ActionParsnip, ... or does it matter. All of the files in that directory seem to contain lists of blacklist statements. | 01:40 |
| applebloom | it seems more convenient | 01:40 |
| applebloom | for casual users | 01:40 |
| Dr_Willis | applebloom: why should it be included by default? theres other media players included | 01:40 |

| applebloom | no mp4, nothing | 01:41 |
| Dr_Willis | applebloom: those work for me in the default media player | 01:41 |
| applebloom | i tried it on 4 installs | 01:41 |
| applebloom | same story | 01:41 |
| * Dr_Willis points out a check box at the start of the installer that says download extra codecs and stuff... | 01:41 | |
| ActionParsnip | dsnyders: the file NEEDS to end in '.conf' | 01:41 |
| Dr_Willis | ive found very few video files that dont work for me in the default player | 01:42 |
| roasted | applebloom, little suggestion to show you how meaningless default applications can be... I saved a long command in a google doc... a super long one... sudo apt-get install gimp inkscape clementine vlc chromium-browser etc. I run it after each new install... in 1 command I get a ton of aps. :) | 01:42 |
| applebloom | Dr_Willis, but you have to be online to do that | 01:42 |
| ActionParsnip | dsnyders: you can make your own file if you want to keep your extra settings seperate, it doesn't have to go in blacklist.conf | 01:42 |
| Dr_Willis | applebloom: so? | 01:42 |

| applebloom | and sometimes those people are not connected to the internet | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | applebloom: and normal peopel are assumed to have internet connection | 01:43 |
| applebloom | it's just a suggestion to improve the casual interface | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | applebloom: if you have a realmedia file in windows, no web access and no realplayer installed you are in the same boat | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | You asked why its not included.. because the default player can handle them | 01:43 |
| dsnyders | ActionParsnip, Thanks for the pointer. I'll rename the file with a .conf "extension". | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | dsnyders: don't name it to blacklist.conf or you'll overwrite the old file | 01:44 |

| ActionParsnip | VMERSINTO: how is that ubuntu related? | 01:47 |
| roasted | Dr_Willis, basically in /etc/default/motion there's an entry to enable the auto start daemon. If I enable this, and in startup apps add "motion", it runs fine. BUT, once I enable the background daemon in /etc/motion/motion.conf, it WILL NOT auto start. | 01:47 |
| reisio | microm: enabled by default, IIRC | 01:48 |
| ivorybishop | escott: i saw somewhere that a config file could be modified to correct the issue, but that is a little beyond my skills | 01:48 |
| VMERSINTO | ActionParsnip : I develop using ubuntu | 01:48 |
| roasted | Dr_Willis, the background daemon allows me to kill it (killall motion) and then type motion again in terminal... it'll begin running and release the terminal so I can close the terminal window and it runs as a daemon in the background. | 01:48 |
| escott | ivorybishop, a kernel config file? | 01:48 |
| microm | reisio: after a fresh install, it's not there... | 01:48 |
| roasted | Dr_Willis, I want both... but it doesn't seem to work. If I enable the convenience of starting/stopping it via background mode, it refuses to auto start. | 01:48 |
| roasted | Dr_Willis, but, I want auto start so if I reboot the server it starts.. but then it almost forces me to reboot each time I make a motion change. | 01:49 |
| ivorybishop | i am not sure, i was just shotgunning a search thru duckduckgo and it shows a lot of stuff | 01:49 |
| escott | ivorybishop, a bios update might be in order | 01:49 |
| ivorybishop | i may just have to live with this since i am not a linux pro | 01:49 |
| escott | ivorybishop, its also possible the board just doesnt support more than 4GB | 01:49 |
| ivorybishop | i think the bios is as up to date as it will get. its a dell | 01:50 |
| ivorybishop | and an older one at that | 01:50 |
| escott | ivorybishop, boards can have their own random limits that are distinct from the number of slots you can fill, although usually its of the form "no DIMM bigger than X" | 01:50 |
| jamiejackson | Dr_Willis: you had the bot tell me about the "text" option in the grub menu. where do i put it? i'm not clear on which is the "kernel" line. there are maybe 10 lines in there | 01:50 |
| ivorybishop | i see | 01:50 |
| ivorybishop | well, thank you for your patience and your help, its very appreciated | 01:51 |
| Dr_Willis | jamiejackson: ssame line with the 'quiet splash'' option.. | 01:51 |
| ivorybishop | it was worth a shot anyway | 01:51 |

| Benkinooby | hi, i'm on ubuntu 10.04. is there a fast and easy way to compare the versions of all my installed packages in 10.04 and 12.04? | 02:09 |

| dgeary2 | what's the process for submitting a (structural) feature request against a specific package? | 02:10 |
| Benkinooby | smw_, i'd like to see what programs upgraded when i upgrade ubuntu | 02:11 |
| smw_ | Benkinooby, almost everyone program will be a different version number | 02:11 |
| Benkinooby | smw_, forgot a "will" | 02:11 |
| smw_ | Benkinooby, you can look up specific ones at packages.ubuntu.com | 02:11 |
| smw_ | Benkinooby, apt-cache show packagename to get the version of the one on 10.04 | 02:12 |
| smw_ | Benkinooby, then you can look up for precise in the web interface | 02:12 |
| smw_ | Benkinooby, but I can tell you everything will be at a higher version number except a couple like firefox | 02:12 |
| smw_ | dgeary2, what type of feature request? | 02:13 |
| Benkinooby | smw_, ok, thank you | 02:13 |
| smw_ | dgeary2, chances are the best bet is to get it into debian and then have it imported into ubuntu | 02:14 |

| smw_ | dgeary2, truthfully, I don't know :-) | 02:18 |

| ActionParsnip | Jon--: sounds fine to me | 02:31 |
| Jon-- | I'm sorry Ubuntu, you have served me faithfully for many years, but due to some recent design decisions that I really disagree with, and the overall bloat, I'm diving in to Arch. You might see me back. Sorry! :( | 02:32 |

| ActionParsnip | piper69: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 02:42 |
| escott | I'm also unclear if it matters. supposing i do remove the partition with the u3 tool the sr1 device will still exist and that will still confuse the liveUSB during boot. so i guess this is no good for a boot disk | 02:42 |

| sunbird | i tried rm'ing .gconf/apps/gedit-2 but it didn't help. | 02:53 |

| pbx2 | reisio, there is no gdm or kdm running | 02:53 |

| pbx2 | ActionParsnip, I want to install the "Official Driver" I downloaded from Nvidia | 02:54 |
| pbx2 | ActionParsnip, it says sudo sh /driver.run | 02:55 |
| ActionParsnip | pbx2: that is the one from nvidia, the driver is proprietary, so it can ONLY come from nvidia | 02:55 |
| sunbird | ActionParsnip: yes, from command line. gedit filename throws the error before the file opens. if i cp the file to filename.txt, it opens fine. | 02:55 |
| pbx2 | ActionParsnip, yes thats the one I want to install | 02:55 |
| ActionParsnip | sunbird: could try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gedit | 02:55 |

| sunbird | ActionParsnip: same problem. :( | 02:56 |
| Benkinooby | !minimal | 02:56 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 02:56 |
| ActionParsnip | pbx2: you don't need to uninstall the package, you can blacklist it if you want but the kernel will load the nvidia driver and not nouveau or nv | 02:57 |
| pbx2 | ActionParsnip, i am running Lubuntu | 02:57 |
| sunbird | i think that gedit thinks that /path/to/filename is a specific encoding and crashes when it is not as expected. | 02:57 |
| hilikus | ActionParsnip: is a vnc server installed by default in ubuntu? | 02:57 |
| pbx2 | i.e. Light version of Ubuntu... | 02:57 |

| Gushings | Switching consoles with control-alt-f# gives me a red screen until I switch back to the one with gdm running. | 03:28 |

| chrislu5tic1 | the full size of the /dev/sda5 that is * | 03:28 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Gushings: do you really need to use those consoles? Because you can use a Terminal instead | 03:29 |
| Gushings | JoseeAntonioR Yes, I need the consoles. | 03:29 |
| chrislu5tic1 | I am using a USB installer aswell, | 03:29 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Gushings: is any of the consoles working fine? | 03:30 |

| MerlynKorr | why was i kicked from tremulous? (i ask here because i dont know where else to ask.) | 03:32 |
| Gushings | What does pastebinit do, post to pastebin? | 03:32 |
| chrislu5tic1 | actionparsnip: Im using a usb installer, cant I just use the partition editor in ubuntu | 03:32 |
| chrislu5tic1 | to partition the full size of the empty drive from nfts to ext4 rather than using windows. | 03:32 |
| chrislu5tic1 | ...and it's ext4 tight ? | 03:32 |
| smw_ | cknox, permissions? | 03:32 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Gushings: Yes | 03:32 |
| reisio | MerlynKorr: ask someone on this list: /msg chanserv access #tremulous list | 03:33 |
| smw_ | cknox, what do you mean permissions on a partition? | 03:33 |
| cknox | smw_: I installed Ubuntu, then I added a logical volume (since the installer didn't like it when I had more than one...) One of them was for my home directory | 03:34 |
| Gushings | http://pastebin.com/NmpYgfyG | 03:34 |
| cknox | now when I create new users, or when I recreated mine, they're all getting the permissions rwxr-xr-x | 03:34 |
| cknox | which makes it so that everyone can see my files... | 03:34 |
| smw_ | cknox, so set it to something else :-) | 03:35 |
| cknox | but why would it have set them to that by default? | 03:35 |
| piper69 | ActionParsnip: i failed to access the boot option | 03:35 |

| === paulus68_ is now known as paulus68 | ||
| JoseeAntonioR | Gushings: Have you checked if there are any additional drivers to be installed? Seems like the system is using a generic driver for your video card. | 03:36 |
| chrislu5tic1 | when partitions my drive, which mount point should I use, ?????? | 03:36 |
| chrislu5tic1 | like /home /boot /tmp /usr /var ??????? | 03:36 |
| Gushings | I am using the drivers from http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads | 03:36 |

| === godwit is now known as hao | ||

| === hao is now known as haozi | ||
| cknox | oh well, i'll just change the permissions on the directory to rwxr-x--- and be done with it | 03:37 |
| smw_ | chrisltq, why are you making different partitions? | 03:37 |
| smw_ | chrislu5tic1, ^ | 03:37 |
| Boohbah | cknox: or you could set the umask in bashrc/bash_profile | 03:37 |
| smw_ | chrislu5tic1, I personally make a / partition and a /home partition | 03:37 |
| smw_ | chrislu5tic1, but it depends on what you want | 03:38 |
| chrislu5tic1 | I am installing ubuntu alongside win7, im formatting an empty partition from ntfs to ext4 so that I can install ubuntu, | 03:38 |
| chrislu5tic1 | it askes for mount point, | 03:38 |
| chrislu5tic1 | or ..well it can be selected | 03:38 |
| smw_ | chrisltq, / | 03:38 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Gushings: I don't know what can be causing this, from what I know this is an issue with the video card | 03:38 |
| chrislu5tic1 | just the ? by itself? | 03:38 |
| cknox | Boohbah: enough of your logic! | 03:38 |
| smw_ | chrislu5tic1, you MUST have a partition mounted on "/" | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | / is the 'root' of the os | 03:38 |
| chrislu5tic1 | oh kay so it just has to be one of them | 03:39 |
| chrislu5tic1 | I can choose home by personal preffernce? | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | you have to have a partion mounted as '/' | 03:39 |
| cknox | Boohbah: watch this... | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | /home can be its own partition also.. if you want | 03:39 |
| cknox | No manual entry for umask | 03:39 |
| smw_ | chrislu5tic1, some advanced users also have a /home partition separate | 03:39 |
| Gushings | Alright, well thank you. | 03:40 |
| chrislu5tic1 | im trying to install ubuntu.. all partitions are ntfs.. im trying to format the partition.. which mount point should i choose please | 03:40 |
| piper69 | guys i am not able to enable kernel options when booting from usb and suggestions please | 03:40 |
| smw_ | chrislu5tic1, "/" | 03:40 |
| Dr_Willis | chrislu5tic1: you have how many partitions? | 03:40 |
| smw_ | chrislu5tic1, Dr_Willis is asking how many partitions are for linux | 03:41 |
| Dr_Willis | common 'layout' chrislu5tic1 for my systems. one drive --: partition 1 = ntfs, partition 2 = '/' , partition 3 = linux swap | 03:41 |
| chrislu5tic1 | I have 5 partition, 1 is for windows,, one is for recovery, one is for bootloader, one is for win7 loader, and the one Im trying to use is empty... | 03:41 |
| Boohbah | cknox: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask | 03:41 |
| Dr_Willis | chrislu5tic1: empty ntfs? or empty ext3/4 ? | 03:42 |
| chrislu5tic1 | nfts | 03:42 |
| cknox | Boohbah: that's what i'm looking at now | 03:42 |
| chrislu5tic1 | this computer came with windows. | 03:42 |
| Dr_Willis | chrislu5tic1: any data on it you wan tto keep? | 03:42 |
| pbx | reisio, thanks stop lightdm worked :) | 03:42 |
| piper69 | guys i am not able to enable kernel options when booting from usb and suggestions please? | 03:42 |
| chrislu5tic1 | im installing ALONGSIDE | 03:42 |
| chrislu5tic1 | its not getting rid of my windows | 03:42 |
| smw_ | chrislu5tic1, so set the partition to ext4 and mount point / | 03:42 |
| chrislu5tic1 | slash by itself right ? | 03:43 |
| Dr_Willis | chrislu5tic1: and you have to have a ext3/4 partition to install to.. so on that partition. is there any data on it? | 03:43 |
| smw_ | chrislu5tic1, yes | 03:43 |
| sunbird | any other places userprefs hide in 12.04? i deleted .gconf/apps/gedit-2 but looking for other places... | 03:43 |
| chrislu5tic1 | THANK YOU ALL | 03:43 |
| smw_ | Dr_Willis, he already said it was empty but formatted ntfs | 03:43 |
| cknox | sunbird: just to be safe you could always delete / </sarcasm> | 03:43 |
| smw_ | sunbird, userprefs hide throughout your home dir | 03:44 |
| Dr_Willis | easiest thing to do woule be to just delete the partition and let the installer repartion the unallocaed space ;) | 03:44 |

| chrislu5tic1 | DAMNIT | 03:46 |
| chrislu5tic1 | it says I have not selected a partition for swap space, and I need to | 03:46 |
| Dr_Willis | chrislu5tic1: yep. i was about to mention how you need 2 partitons normally. / and swap | 03:46 |
| pbx | is there a good download manager for ubuntu that splits the download into chunks so we can download using 8 connections etc | 03:46 |
| internetnikolay | <ubottu> спасибо) | 03:46 |
| Dr_Willis | you can get by withoug swap. but i dont know if the installer will let you do that | 03:47 |
| chrislu5tic1 | wtf | 03:47 |
| chrislu5tic1 | this is ridiculous | 03:47 |
| piper69 | can someone please help me set the NOMODSET on 12.04 running from usb | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | if you just delete the partition you are trying to use. the installer can repartion it to a / and swap as needed chrislu5tic1 | 03:47 |
| chrislu5tic1 | usually installing linux 12.04 on every other computer has been a BREEZ | 03:47 |
| chrislu5tic1 | this isnt my computer | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | you can have seveal loigical partitons in an extended. so having a / and swap is not a big desl | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | deal | 03:48 |
| chrislu5tic1 | so just delete the partition that I was formatting to ext4 | 03:48 |
| chrislu5tic1 | and then go through with the installation and it will detect it? | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | or make it into 2 partitions a / and a smaller swap | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | either way you want to. Depends on how much controll you desire. | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | chrislu5tic1: how big is this partition anyway? | 03:49 |
| sunbird | ... and .gnome2/gedit... not it. | 03:49 |
| chrislu5tic1 | i cant do that | 03:49 |
| chrislu5tic1 | its not my computer i cant go around partitioning everything | 03:49 |
| chrislu5tic1 | this has never been needed before | 03:49 |
| ActionParsnip | chrislu5tic1: like I said, leave it unpartitioned and the installer will set it up for you | 03:49 |
| Dr_Willis | you allready are changeing partitions. | 03:49 |
| piper69 | ActionParsnip: can you help please | 03:49 |
| ActionParsnip | piper69: sup | 03:49 |
| Dr_Willis | so if you do it.. or if the installer does it.. what does it matter | 03:49 |
| JoseeAntonioR | piper69: I see you want to run nomodeset from a LiveUSB | 03:50 |
| piper69 | JoseeAntonioR: yes sir, ActionParsnip ^^ | 03:50 |
| ActionParsnip | JoseeAntonioR: in fact nouveau.blacklist=1 | 03:51 |
| JoseeAntonioR | ActionParsnip: what's it about? The user with a red screen? | 03:51 |
| JoseeAntonioR | seems like he has already replaced the driver | 03:51 |

| ActionParsnip | chrislu5tic1: you partitioned the space you wanted to install ubuntu to, to NTFS which cannot hold Linux file permissions. All you have to do is either resize it (if you have a lot of spare space and need the 2nd partition), or delete it and the installer will offer to use the space. How is that ridiculous? | 03:57 |
| mhaz | chrislu5tic1= Troll | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip | chrislu5tic1: if you can enlighten me as to your issue, maybe I can help | 03:58 |
| chrislu5tic1 | i deleted it | 03:58 |
| === chewingGurl is now known as bluesoup | ||
| chrislu5tic1 | the installer does not offer anything | 03:58 |
| chrislu5tic1 | it says the same thing, you need to format it, after formatting it you need another patition for swap | 03:59 |
| piper69 | on a 500GB, is it possible i can partition into two or even three, so that core system (OS) is installed in a pation and applications are installed on another and user data on theird | 03:59 |
| ActionParsnip | chrislu5tic1: ok, what type of disk does windows disk manager say it is? | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | often after deleting a partion - a reboot is needed for the kernel to see the new partition layout | 03:59 |
| ActionParsnip | piper69: totally, thats what I do :) | 03:59 |
| piper69 | how can i do it please | 04:00 |
| ActionParsnip | piper69: 10Gb /, 3.3Gb swap, rest for /home :) | 04:00 |
| === bluesoup is now known as unix_mom | ||
| JoseeAntonioR | piper69: Yes, you should create the partitions, and set the mount point. You should mount /home for personal data. | 04:00 |
| ActionParsnip | piper69: my system has 3Gb RAM, hence 3.3Gb swap :) | 04:00 |
| piper69 | ext4 | 04:01 |

| this_is_a_un | Sorry if this doesn't go here, but on some channels(IRC) I get an error that the message cannot be sent. | 04:31 |
| JoseeAntonioR | this_is_a_un: It's because it's moderated and you don't have voice. | 04:32 |
| this_is_a_un | JoseeAntonioR: Ok. How would I get voice then? Sorry, I'm new to this whole thing xD | 04:33 |
| JoseeAntonioR | this_is_a_un: A channel operator would have to give it to you | 04:33 |
| ugi | ask the !op ? | 04:34 |
| this_is_a_un | Ah, so you can't just 'ask for it' | 04:34 |
| JoseeAntonioR | this_is_a_un: You can, but to an operator, not to anyone | 04:34 |
| KRomo | ok i have a problem in ubuntu | 04:34 |

| KRomo | im tryimn to extract from a zip, when i select "new folder it lets me start typing the name of the new folder and dissapears.... | 04:35 |
| KRomo | only in the downloads folder | 04:36 |
| this_is_a_un | ok, got it. | 04:36 |
| KRomo | can anyone reproduce it? | 04:36 |
| zhanger | what version KRomo | 04:37 |
| KRomo | 12.04 | 04:37 |
| zhanger | which version of ubuntu | 04:37 |
| zhanger | oh | 04:37 |
| zhanger | using 11.04 hm | 04:37 |
| zhanger | let me try extracting a zip | 04:37 |
| KRomo | its only in that folder | 04:37 |
| zhanger | so it works fine everywhere else? | 04:37 |
| KRomo | yes | 04:37 |
| KRomo | and i can create folders in other ways in Downloads | 04:38 |
| KRomo | just not when extracting a zip | 04:38 |
| ActionParsnip | paulus68: what apps you wanting to control on the remote system? | 04:38 |
| KRomo | the zip is in the downloads folder | 04:38 |
| ActionParsnip | KRomo: install unp and use that to extract everything in cli :) | 04:39 |
| zhanger | hm | 04:39 |
| zhanger | wait KRomo are you opening it in archive manager then pressing extract | 04:39 |
| KRomo | yeah | 04:39 |
| KRomo | well | 04:39 |
| KRomo | not pressing extract yet | 04:39 |
| KRomo | yes rather | 04:39 |
| KRomo | pressing extract | 04:39 |
| ActionParsnip | KRomo: right click archive -> extract here | 04:39 |
| KRomo | then create folder | 04:39 |
| KRomo | but i dont want it to extract in downloads | 04:39 |
| KRomo | i want to create a folder imn downloads | 04:40 |
| zhanger | well | 04:40 |
| zhanger | i just tried that | 04:40 |
| zhanger | worked fine | 04:40 |
| KRomo | fucking weird | 04:40 |
| zhanger | try running it from command line | 04:40 |
| KRomo | maybe a 12.04 bug | 04:40 |
| zhanger | see if there's any output | 04:40 |
| zhanger | ye seems like a random bug | 04:40 |
| chu | KRomo: Please watch the language. Thank you. | 04:40 |
| KRomo | sorry | 04:41 |
| ActionParsnip | KRomo: make a folder then move the archive into it and extract, most archives will contain a folder to hold everything | 04:41 |
| KRomo | i figured a way to do it, but it seems to be a an archive mansager bug | 04:41 |
| KRomo | i installed 7zip tho, i thought 7zip would handle those files now | 04:42 |
| ActionParsnip | KRomo: run: ubuntu-bug fileroller then and report it | 04:42 |
| ActionParsnip | KRomo: 7zip will just add abilities to fileroller | 04:42 |
| KRomo | fireroller does not exist | 04:43 |

| ggherdov | hi all. I understand that to grant a user the permission to "sudo" I just need to add said user to the "admin" group. But then I have problems in adding a user to a group, look at this pastebin: http://bpaste.net/show/Yf424RDHdy7HhW2nVj2X/ with usermod it looks like I am just "overwriting" the second group of a user, not adding one more to its groups. Any hint? | 04:50 |
| arooni-mobile | can someone help me ot understand why deluge isnt downloading? i have checked that there is an available porn opene and configured it to that port | 04:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ggherdov: thats because the command isn't adding the user to admin | 04:51 |
| cknox | grrrrr | 04:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ggherdov: that will make the user ONLY in that group | 04:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ggherdov: you want: sudo usermod -a admin gghh | 04:51 |
| ActionParsnip | oop | 04:51 |
| cknox | I read a really good article last time I set my server up, and now I can't find it. How do I make it so normal users can edit /var/www? | 04:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ggherdov: you want: sudo usermod -a -G admin gghh | 04:51 |
| zhanger | cknox chmod -R it? | 04:52 |
| zhanger | arooni-mobile are you running the daemon or what | 04:52 |
| zhanger | which interface are you using | 04:52 |
| ggherdov | ActionParsnip: looks like a few more pass to the manpage of "usermod" are necessary to me :-) thanks | 04:52 |
| arooni-mobile | zhanger, i'm running the gui app | 04:52 |

| cknox | drwxrwsr-x 3 root www-data 4096 May 30 21:54 public | 04:57 |
| zhanger | that would make sense cknox, because that means users in the group www-data can modify it | 04:57 |
| zhanger | notice how /www is drwxr-xr-x while /public is drwxrwsr-x | 04:57 |
| zhanger | so i guess you probably would want chmod -R 775 www | 04:58 |
| cknox | probably | 04:58 |
| chu | goddard: You'd need something likei `minitube' (I think is the name?) or `youtube-dl' | 04:58 |
| cknox | ok, i'll try that in the morning, I've got to sleep or i'll be useless tomorrow | 04:58 |

| UberschallSamsar | i think my upgrade installation of 12.04 got botched. at the point in the install process where it said "we're going to do a post install cleanup now. close all your open apps so you don't lose anything" i did an alt-tab to see if i actually had any other apps open, and the install window just ... disappeared. since i didn't know how to even get a terminal at that point, i hit reset. it... | 05:12 |

| nydel | UberschallSamsar: just run updates from launcher, do a check & install everything. | 05:14 |
| ActionParsnip | nydel: possibly, not sure. If you can make a device out of it (one you get drivers) then I don't see why not | 05:14 |
| nydel | UberschallSamsar: you can also get a terminal by pressing ctrl-alt-f2 -- you'll need to press ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to xwindows. | 05:14 |

| nydel | UberschallSamsar: i'm just joking, windows is a fine os. | 05:18 |
| nydel | UberschallSamsar: best i can say is to avoid hibernation/suspension. | 05:19 |
| UberschallSamsar | it could be but what is suspicious is that ubuntu could hibernate just fine until the botched 12.04 upgrade. and btw, WTF on it just blowing away its install window just because i hit alt-tab. that is cruel and unusual. | 05:19 |

| nydel | UberschallSamsar: you can search the forums for keyword "suspend" & there are a lot of threads. sorry it's not very possible to help with this issue from here, but someone may have already figured it out. | 05:24 |
| UberschallSamsar | nydel: thx will look around. again the issue only popped up after botched upgrade and as i said subsequent updates did not seem to fix it. | 05:25 |
| nydel | UberschallSamsar: good luck. also, next time you're doing an upgrade, make sure everything is killed. that will increase the likeliness of a clean upgrade. | 05:25 |
| UberschallSamsar | i was 99% sure everything was but i did an alt-tab to make sure and IMO that shouldn't kill the freaking install window. that's a bug. | 05:25 |
| nydel | UberschallSamsar: it's not your fault, but linux can be fragile, just as any OS can - we have to be very careful when upgrading. i've killed many a system because i just HAD to check my email while upgrading. | 05:25 |

| === pete_ is now known as peterlin | ||
| UberschallSamsar | yeah i know but i wasn't checking email and i had shut everything down already. i was just double checking. not starting any new programs. that should not result in the install window disappearing. | 05:26 |
| UberschallSamsar | not bitching at you personally nydel btw | 05:27 |
| nydel | UberschallSamsar: i would think of the window switcher as an application & alt-tab as launching it. | 05:27 |
| nydel | UberschallSamsar: but you're right, it shouldn't have made the install window vanish. | 05:27 |
| UberschallSamsar | well here's hoping ubuntu doesn't let basic stuff like this suffer for the sake if adding eye candy | 05:28 |
| UberschallSamsar | if = of | 05:28 |

| nydel | or unity3d in general does. | 05:30 |

| nydel | bdkbdk: remember you can open terminal tabs from the file menu. | 05:36 |
| ActionParsnip | bdkbdk: I think if you alt+tab to the terminal then just hold alt - it will expand and you can see the terminals | 05:37 |
| nydel | ActionParsnip's not wrong bdkbdk | 05:37 |

| railsraider | a question about ssl certificates, how can i get the self signed certificate to be trusted? | 08:03 |
| ikonia | paulus68: what's your actual needs though (realisticly) | 08:03 |
| ikonia | paulus68: as in why do you need to do this | 08:03 |
| ikonia | railsraider: you can't | 08:03 |
| railsraider | do i have to make my own CA? | 08:03 |
| ikonia | railsraider: you need to have it signed by a trusted CA | 08:03 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: thanks at the moment just surveillance nothing else | 08:04 |
| ikonia | railsraider: you'd need applications to "trust" your CA | 08:04 |
| railsraider | meaning no free ones right? | 08:04 |
| ikonia | railsraider: correct, that's why CA's charge money | 08:04 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: secondly do you know a good app that allows you to take over an abuntu desktop? | 08:04 |
| railsraider | thanks | 08:04 |
| Corey | You can add a local CA to browsers you control. | 08:04 |
| ikonia | paulus68: take over ? what do you mean ? | 08:04 |
| Corey | But that won't be globally trusted in the same way. | 08:04 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: a program like vnc for example | 08:05 |
| ikonia | paulus68: well "vnc" that is a solid remote desktop control product | 08:05 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: true is there a build in app under ubuntu that is just as good as vnc? | 08:07 |

| dr--willis | makara: you can mount an iso file (or other files) if they contain a valid filesystem. | 08:27 |
| dr--willis | !iso | 08:27 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 08:27 |
| conrad_ | yes, I do it regularly on EXT4 deleted files | 08:28 |
| makara | dr--willis: I want it to happen on startup. Does Furius do that? | 08:28 |
| dr--willis | its sort of scary you regullary need to undelete files. ;) | 08:28 |
| dr--willis | makara: make a fstab entry if you need. no idea what furius is... | 08:28 |
| conrad_ | I fix other people's problems regularly | 08:29 |
| dr--willis | biggest danger i see to ubuntu systmes.. is the end user. ;) | 08:29 |
| conrad_ | Furious ISO mount is just a program | 08:29 |
| conrad_ | A+ @endusercomment | 08:30 |
| dr--willis | theres other gui tools out there to mount iso files with a nice interface.. but thats not mounting them at boot up | 08:30 |
| obelus | Just thought I'd ask to see if there's any better way of doing this: I'm trying to make a mirror of the Ubuntu archives. The machine to store the mirror is behind a proxy and rsync won't work properly and has an external 1GB/day download limit, my idea was to rsync it from home and take it on an external hard drive to the machine that's going to host the mirror, and hopefully, | 08:30 |
| obelus | be able to use apt-mirror to keep it up-to-date from there | 08:30 |
| obelus | I haven't tested this, does anyone know if it's possible? | 08:30 |
| obelus | Or if there's a better way to go about this. | 08:31 |

I'll use the sysctl conf to set some special net values… When I set this values with sysctl -w all work fine… But in the /etc/sysctl.conf I can't set this values… And I don't know why… For a test i set the kernel domainname and this work but for example my conntrack settings don't work… like this: net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close_wait=1 | 08:35 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | i have libstdc++6 installed | 08:47 |
| dr--willis | how are you trying to install it exactly? | 08:47 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | dr--willis, sudo apt-get install <package> | 08:48 |
| dr--willis | whens the last time ya did a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' ? | 08:48 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | dr--willis, if i try to do sudo apt-get purge libstdc++6 i get 'Depends: libgksu2-0 (>= 2.0.8) but it is not going to be installed | 08:48 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | dr--willis, i did update just now | 08:48 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | dr--willis, i dont want to upgrade, thanks | 08:48 |
| dr--willis | dare i ask why? | 08:49 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | dr--willis, because its a lot of hassle and i dont really want to deal with that atm | 08:49 |
| aerocam | bodhi 2.0 alpha released for testing (12.04LTS) | 08:49 |
| dr--willis | if a package depends on a newer version of some of the libs.. it needs them. | 08:49 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | dr--willis, oh, so i *need* to upgrade? | 08:49 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | to get this package to work? | 08:50 |
| dr--willis | try theupgrade command and see what all it wants to upgrade.. | 08:50 |
| dr--willis | perhaps... the upgrade will ask and give other info | 08:50 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | dr--willis, nope, no libstdc++ in the upgrade command | 08:50 |
| dr--willis | #1 thing i alwyas try with apt issues is to update, upgrade, eprhaps do a dist-upgrade, and try instgalling it again | 08:50 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | of any kind | 08:50 |
| dr--willis | libstdc++ is a rather imporntant lib i belive. | 08:51 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | well it's libstdc++6/5 | 08:51 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | but i have both of them installed anyways | 08:51 |
| adhown | try sudo apt-get install -f | 08:52 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | but yea, there's no libstdc++6 or 5 in the list of packages that will be upgraded in the 'upgrade' command, dr--willis | 08:52 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | adhown, already trie | 08:52 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | d | 08:52 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | same error happens | 08:52 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | doesnt work either with the package manager | 08:54 |

| Guest80060 | how do I diagnose it? | 08:56 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Guest80060, post the output in a pastebin | 08:56 |
| Guest80060 | well it just gives an empty window | 08:56 |
| Guest80060 | maybe it deleted everything | 08:56 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Guest80060, the syntax would be "sudo mount /dev/sdX /media/blah" | 08:56 |
| Guest80060 | thanks | 08:56 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | that what you did? | 08:56 |

| Guest80060 | I did the mount command, and it did not have any output. ls takes a long time to give results, but lists the drive in green | 09:02 |
| adhown | :D | 09:02 |
| Guest80060 | does anyone know how I can find out the problem with this drive? the computer was dropped, but I'm trying to see if it's loose or something | 09:03 |
| Guest80060 | it is strange that it mounts but "ls" is still running for the past 5 minutes with no results | 09:04 |
| adhown | Guest80060, what the Filesystem of that drive? | 09:04 |
| Guest80060 | windows.. but not sure how to tell | 09:05 |

| Guest80060 | it's hpfs\ntfs | 09:06 |
| Guest80060 | it's a spanish language windows install I guess | 09:06 |
| adhown | you have to unmount and try to mount again.. | 09:06 |
| Guest80060 | ok | 09:06 |
| haneefmubarak | No, what language is your system (english;spanish;french;etc.) | 09:06 |

| ircnode0 | it looks like it accept "quit" | 09:11 |
| akatux | hi all | 09:12 |
| haneefmubarak | lolcat: If you have another CD/DVD drive yes; else using a LiveUSB and burning a disc witht he drive may be what you are looking for…. | 09:12 |
| lolcat | haneefmubarak: I don't have a usbstick | 09:14 |

| haneefmubarak | Another drive? | 09:14 |
| lolcat | Can't I start banshee, then burn and then boot? | 09:14 |
| lolcat | just swap the livecd with the blank one | 09:14 |
| haneefmubarak | What exactly are you trying to do and why? | 09:14 |
| adhown | you can't do it | 09:14 |
| lolcat | I want a livecd | 09:14 |
| lolcat | So I can install linux | 09:15 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | argh | 09:17 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | dependency hell <_> | 09:17 |
| llutz_ | lolcat: another way would be using debootstrap to install from running live-cd. wiki/forums should have tutorials on it | 09:19 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | adhown, im trying to now install zlib, but when i run cmake on the gemrb source, it says i need to install zlib library and headers, but i have all the zlib related packages installed | 09:20 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | zlib1g, zlibc, zlib1g-dbg, zlib1g-dev, zlib-bin, zlib-gst | 09:20 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | got all them | 09:20 |

| llutz_ | lolcat: a debian-based one? look at debootstrap | 09:21 |
| lolcat | llutz_: No, I want to change to exherbo | 09:22 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | llutz_, it says im missing zlib_library | 09:22 |
| adhown | WhereIsMySpoon, try to aptitude search zlib .. | 09:22 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | adhown, im using apt | 09:23 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | not aptitude | 09:23 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | adhown, i used the package manager to search zlib | 09:23 |
| llutz_ | WhereIsMySpoon: apt-cache search package then | 09:23 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | llutz_, thats a lot of packages | 09:24 |
| llutz_ | WhereIsMySpoon: i just showed you the alternative to aptitude, i didn't say its usefull for your specific problem | 09:26 |
| pbx2 | can't start firefox in Lubuntu? | 09:27 |
| llutz_ | WhereIsMySpoon: i haven't followed your issue before, but didn't you use a repo that holds the package you want to install? use apt-get build-dep packagename to pull the needed dev-packages | 09:27 |
| fidel_ | pbx2: whats the error message? | 09:27 |
| pbx2 | file not found! | 09:28 |
| fidel_ | pbx2: what file | 09:28 |
| pbx2 | ~/firefox/firefox | 09:28 |
| pbx2 | but there is folder firefox in home dir | 09:28 |
| zxiest | Hello everybody :-) | 09:28 |
| pbx2 | and there firefox inside that | 09:28 |
| fidel_ | pbx2: is firefox installed in the first place? | 09:28 |
| pbx2 | no | 09:28 |
| ikonia | how do you expect to start firefox if it's not installed ? | 09:28 |
| fidel_ | ;) | 09:29 |
| pbx2 | how do I install it? | 09:29 |
| ikonia | pbx2: open the package manager, search for it and click install | 09:29 |
| zxiest | I have a directory with chmod 774 but when I "touch foo" in it, I get a file with other permissions. Is there a way for files created in a dir to inherit the parent's permissions? | 09:29 |
| pbx2 | but that is Ubunutu version of firefox | 09:29 |
| pbx2 | I want the official version | 09:29 |
| ikonia | pbx2: correct | 09:29 |
| llutz_ | zxiest: yuo need to define acl for this | 09:29 |
| ikonia | pbx2: the ubuntu version is the official version | 09:29 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | llutz_, when i do that it says unable to find source package for gemrb | 09:29 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, if it has the name Mozilla Firefox, then it is official | 09:30 |
| zxiest | llutz_ I see... Thanks, will look into that :-) | 09:30 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, if it has had patches that aren't approved by Mozilla it can't be called Mozilla Firefox | 09:30 |
| pbx2 | is it possible to install Official version from .tar.bz2 file? | 09:30 |
| Onixs | when recovering deleted folders with subfolders, recovering only thr root folder will also recover the whole sub folder of it ? | 09:30 |
| ikonia | pbx2: why do you want that ? | 09:30 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, that isn't any more official than the one Ubuntu includes, and sure it is, just unpack it anywhere and run the firefox file in it | 09:30 |
| pbx2 | Ok fine lets I want to install Firefox Nightly | 09:30 |
| ikonia | pbx2: why ? | 09:30 |
| llutz_ | WhereIsMySpoon: but you have defined "deb-src blahblah" for that repo in your sources.list? | 09:30 |
| ikonia | pbx2: what's wrong with the version ubuntu builds and supplies for you and supports | 09:31 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | llutz_, no, only a deb | 09:31 |
| pbx2 | I don't like ubuntu builds | 09:31 |
| ikonia | pbx2: why ? | 09:31 |
| pbx2 | I want a clean version for my browser | 09:31 |
| ikonia | pbx2: what is the problem | 09:31 |
| ikonia | pbx2: what is unclean about the ubuntu build | 09:31 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, erm if you run the official version it still loads the Ubuntu modifications | 09:31 |
| ikonia | pbx2: what is the actual problem with the ubuntu build | 09:32 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, as they are plugins/extensions | 09:32 |
| pbx2 | Lubuntu doesn't include Firefox | 09:32 |
| ikonia | pbx2: so install it from the ubuntu repo | 09:32 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, and? apt-get install firefox? | 09:32 |
| pbx2 | so that means I can get a clean version if I don't touch ubuntu repo | 09:32 |
| ikonia | pbx2: no it doesn't | 09:32 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, you're in the Ubuntu repo when you use Lubuntu | 09:33 |
| ikonia | pbx2: please explain what is wrong with using the ubuntu package ? | 09:33 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, to run the Mozilla tarball: Extract and run firefox.sh included | 09:33 |
| pbx2 | WarOfTheNerd, thanks | 09:34 |
| pbx2 | will try that | 09:34 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, there is no benefit to doing that though, in fact, it's pretty much moronic :| | 09:34 |
| ring0 | pbx2, just use the firefox package. this way you get security fixes and program updates. if you don't, you always have to do it manually | 09:34 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ring0, not true | 09:35 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ring0, when you install to your user area it auto updates and gives security fixes on its own | 09:35 |
| ring0 | WarOfTheNerd, it updates itself? | 09:35 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ring0, yes | 09:35 |
| ring0 | WarOfTheNerd, ok, but only if you install per user not system-wide | 09:36 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ring0, if you have the privileges to edit the files, it will update itself, this is also true on Windows XP with the official builds | 09:36 |
| xjiujiu | I got a error message "mountall: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /lib/libpllibply.so.2.14" when I upgrade my ubuntu from 11.10 to 12.04.. | 09:36 |
| xjiujiu | um ...Anyone knows how to fix that problem? | 09:36 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ring0, the tarball can't tell the difference, so if you make a group called say firefox and chmod 775 after making it system-wide.. it will still update | 09:37 |
| ring0 | WarOfTheNerd, how nasty :) | 09:37 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ring0, it's clean, firefox was made to be installed per-user | 09:37 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ring0, it's distros which hack it to be otherwise | 09:37 |
| WarOfTheNerd | if you're a limited user on Windows, it will even install per-user | 09:38 |
| ring0 | WarOfTheNerd, i guess nobody in here cares about windows ;) | 09:38 |
| WarOfTheNerd | well yeah >_> | 09:38 |
| WarOfTheNerd | but then no-one in here should care for using official tarballs either | 09:38 |
| WarOfTheNerd | unless they're gonna protest Ubuntu's stupid decision not to use an ESR build for an LTS | 09:39 |
| pbx2 | ESR? | 09:39 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ESR is the Enterprise Stable Release | 09:39 |
| dr--willis | its more buzzword compliant | 09:39 |
| WarOfTheNerd | it has years of support rather than months | 09:39 |
| WarOfTheNerd | consider it to be Firefox LTS | 09:40 |
| pbx2 | well I protesting Ubuntu's decision to go with Unity interface :) | 09:40 |
| === haneefmubarak is now known as HaneefMubarak | ||
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, I use MATE for that reason | 09:40 |
| ring0 | WarOfTheNerd, exactly, nobody should care for tarballs in here | 09:40 |
| dr--willis | i protest your protesting. | 09:40 |
| David_lam | Good morning all | 09:41 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ring0, indeed. I might just build a Firefox ESR package today if I get time | 09:41 |
| pbx2 | there is firefox and firefox-bin | 09:41 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, firefox | 09:41 |
| pbx2 | ok | 09:41 |
| WarOfTheNerd | firefox IIRC is a wrapper that lets you re-execute if firefox is already open to make a new window | 09:42 |
| WarOfTheNerd | so you should always use that | 09:42 |
| pbx2 | I hope I can paste here 2 lines :) | 09:42 |
| pbx2 | pbx@pbx-7678:~/Downloads/firefox$ sudo sh ./firefox | 09:42 |
| pbx2 | ./firefox: 1: ./firefox: Syntax error: "(" unexpected | 09:42 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, why sudo? | 09:42 |

| llutz_ | pbx2: don't use sudo, don't use sh .... | 09:42 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, ./firefox is all you need | 09:43 |
| llutz_ | pbx2: and, don't use tarballs and ask for support here | 09:43 |
| pbx2 | then I get this: bash: ./firefox: No such file or directory | 09:43 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, chmod 755 ./firefox | 09:43 |

| WarOfTheNerd | then try ./firefox | 09:43 |
| nguyenduy | is there any one who knows Github | 09:44 |
| llutz_ | pbx2: you try to run 32bit firefox on 64bit system or vice versa? | 09:44 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, also make sure you're in the right directory as dr--willis points out | 09:44 |
| WarOfTheNerd | llutz, 64-bit on 32-bit not doable xD | 09:44 |
| pbx2 | I am in the right directory, see my 2 lines above | 09:44 |
| dr--willis | i thought firefox extacted to a firefox-some0versionnumber | 09:44 |
| llutz_ | WarOfTheNerd: no shit sherlock | 09:44 |
| pbx2 | I m using 64 bit distro | 09:45 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, chmod 755 firefox && ./firefox | 09:45 |
| llutz_ | pbx2: and the firefox you use is 32bit? you lack ia32libs | 09:45 |
| WarOfTheNerd | there's only a 32-bit official firefox | 09:45 |
| WarOfTheNerd | and he's being silly, he should use the package rather than using the crippled official build | 09:45 |
| ring0 | pbx2, the guys in #firefox are sure happy to support their binary install | 09:46 |
| pbx2 | ia32libs gonna check synaptic if I am missing that | 09:46 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ring0, hah! Even they aren't really... they prefer people to use the supported version for their OS | 09:46 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ring0, the only acceptable time would be if someone used Debian or another distro not permitted to build as Mozilla Firefox | 09:46 |

| intore | good morning. I have read that LibreOffice can save in .ppt extension but not in my case. Must be installed something again? | 09:48 |

| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, you can't run it because you are lacking 32-bit binary support | 09:50 |
| pbx2 | I am looking at downloading ia32-libs vs. Intel IA32/IA64 CPU Microcode Utility | 09:50 |
| ircnode0 | how I know whether I have ubuntu or xubuntu installed? | 09:50 |
| ircnode0 | it is somewhere in /etc/ ? | 09:50 |
| pbx2 | I will get both :) | 09:50 |
| WarOfTheNerd | the microcode utility has nothing to do with that situation | 09:51 |
| ikonia | pbx2: can you please explain why you won't use the Ubuntu supplied version | 09:51 |
| === karthik is now known as Guest42844 | ||
| zykotick9 | ircnode0: why does it matter? pretty sure "lsb_release -a" won't show difference between ubuntu/xubuntu... maybe? | 09:52 |
| ikonia | pbx2: you are making a mess of this and don't seem to really know what you are doing, so I can't understand why you will not use the ubuntu packaged/supported version | 09:52 |
| pbx2 | ikonia, because 2 versions back I remember they locked down even about:crashes | 09:52 |
| ikonia | pbx2: try it | 09:52 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, it works | 09:52 |
| WarOfTheNerd | tried it here | 09:52 |
| pbx2 | I don't canocial customizing my firefox.... | 09:52 |
| pbx2 | yeah it works now...but where do the bug reports go? | 09:52 |
| ikonia | pbx2: canonical don't | 09:52 |
| ikonia | pbx2: they don't customise it | 09:52 |

| Guest30581 | hi again, I was here before with hard drive problems. I've switched it to another drive bay but it still gives the same problems | 09:53 |
| ircnode0 | zykotick9: just want to get information | 09:53 |
| Guest30581 | is there any way to copy data out of it? | 09:53 |
| Guest30581 | it mounts but with io errors | 09:53 |
| stephanmg | hello ubuntu ppl. i made just some updates and it told me readahead will be reprofiled on next startup. -> i restarted: BIOS told me it cannot boot from hd0 (no grub boot loader) | 09:54 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ikonia, i'll look at the firefox package in a sec just to see what patches are there :P | 09:54 |
| ikonia | Guest30581: if you hard disk has errors, the data will have errors, there is no way around that | 09:54 |
| zykotick9 | ircnode0: beside what they install by default - they are the same thing | 09:54 |
| ikonia | WarOfTheNerd: they are pretty much just some compatability stuff, there is nothing of "concern" | 09:54 |
| pbx2 | ikonia, even the home page is ubuntu's version... | 09:54 |
| ikonia | pbx2: that's just the default home page - just change it to what you want | 09:54 |
| roundyz | Hello where are kernel modules kept on ubunutu LTS? | 09:54 |
| roundyz | I looked in /lib/modules/`uname -r'/ but there is just a modules.dep | 09:55 |
| roundyz | So where are they? | 09:55 |
| pbx2 | its corrupted!!! who knows what other backdoors they put in :) | 09:55 |
| ikonia | pbx2: it is NOT corrupted | 09:55 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | O.o | 09:55 |
| WarOfTheNerd | roundyz, more than just modules.dep here | 09:55 |
| ikonia | pbx2: the default home page is a personal config setting in your personal config file, | 09:55 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | breaking news: ubuntu is actually owned by microsoft?!~!!111 | 09:55 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | really, stop with the conspiracies | 09:56 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ikonia, it was sarcasm | 09:56 |
| ikonia | WhereIsMySpoon: I know, but it will just fuel more of the same | 09:56 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | llutz_, yea =/ | 09:56 |
| roundyz | WarOfTheNerd: Thats what I expected. but even in the other versions of kernels on the machine it is the same. | 09:56 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ikonia, oki :) | 09:56 |
| ring0 | Guest30581, you could take a look at ddrescue from package gddrescue | 09:56 |
| WarOfTheNerd | roundyz, maybe it's in lib64 or the like :| | 09:56 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ive installed every bloody single package that is even remotely related to zlib and still when i try to cmake, it says it cant find the zlib headers/libraries - any idea? =/ | 09:56 |
| WarOfTheNerd | roundyz, i'm only on 32-bit.. maybe they made a hack or the like with their latest changes to multiarch | 09:57 |
| ikonia | WhereIsMySpoon: why don't you look at the eval test it's doing to verify zliv | 09:57 |
| jolaren | I'm trying to add Irssi to startup on my server but it doesn't work.. really annoying.. can you please assist me and point me in the right way? anyway, here's the RC.local entry which doesnt work - > /bin/su cc -c "/usr/bin/screen -dmS irc_logger /usr/bin/irssi" | 09:57 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | where is that | 09:57 |
| zxiest | ACL question: I have default:group::rwx in my directory's ACL and am logged in as root. When I "touch bla" inside the dir, bla gets the permissions: -rw-rw-r--+ . Any clue? | 09:57 |
| roundyz | WarOfTheNerd: just zcat /proc/config.gz| grep M, it looks monolithic. | 09:57 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i know zilch about cmake | 09:57 |
| ikonia | WhereIsMySpoon: what are you trying to build ? | 09:57 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ikonia, gemrb | 09:57 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | no, it isnt ruby | 09:57 |
| dr--willis | !info gemrb | 09:58 |
| ubottu | Package gemrb does not exist in precise | 09:58 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | it has its own repo | 09:58 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | but i cant apt-get install it | 09:58 |
| ikonia | WhereIsMySpoon: look at what that test is, and why it's failing | 09:58 |
| Guest30581 | thanks ring0 | 09:58 |
| ikonia | WhereIsMySpoon: ok, I don't know what that is, but basically if you look at the makefiles, there will be a "test" for zlib, eg: it will compile a small test or something like that | 09:58 |
| WarOfTheNerd | roundyz, no file found for me with that | 09:58 |
| WarOfTheNerd | roundyz, but cat /boot/config-3.2.0-24-generic-pae | grep m gives me a lot of lines | 09:58 |
| dr--willis | if its in the a repp. theres that sudo apt-get build-dep packagename that is supposed to install all needed dev files to compile somthing | 09:59 |
| WarOfTheNerd | roundyz, as it's lower case m for modules in most config files :P | 09:59 |
| pbx2 | I installed jre from ubuntu repository...but it doesn't work on default chrome which was included in Lubuntu 64 bit? | 09:59 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ikonia, in CMakeLists.txt there is a test for zlib, but it only says IF(ZLIB_FOUND) =/ | 09:59 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | and imcludes (FindZLIB) | 09:59 |
| pbx2 | openjdk jre | 09:59 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, you need icedtea | 09:59 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, openjdk jre doesn't include the plugin, the icedtea project provides the plugin | 09:59 |
| pbx2 | WarOfTheNerd, thanks | 10:00 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, sudo apt-get icedtea6-plugin | 10:00 |
| WarOfTheNerd | try that | 10:00 |

| Guest30581 | ikonia, it may have errors, but a lot of stuff is just photos or word processing stuff | 10:02 |
| Miscni | Question? , does somebody have a link, how to setup Ubuntu 12.04 as router with 2 networkcards? | 10:02 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, you know you're better off learning how to build firefox from source by grabbing the deb-src and removing the branding patches you're unhappy with | 10:03 |
| pbx2 | woohoo my clean version of Firefox is now up and running :) | 10:03 |
| Guest30581 | I would ask my local community wireless group that kind of thing | 10:04 |
| dr--willis | !ics | 10:04 |
| ubottu | If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 10:04 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, so clean that it's more vulnerable to intrusions | 10:04 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, and so clean it doesn't have an apparmor profile protecting it anymore :/ | 10:04 |
| pbx2 | it just needed ia32-lib + the 200 other libraries it needed | 10:04 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, and so clean it's slower and wastes RAM for no benefit | 10:05 |
| pbx2 | I thought Linux was "secure" ? | 10:05 |
| t432 | The command "update-alternatives --config java" confirms jdk7 as default but get message" Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386/lib/tools.jar" when i run the program ant... was working fine before reboot | 10:05 |
| ikonia | pbx2: it is | 10:05 |
| ikonia | pbx2: you are making it less secure with what you are doing | 10:05 |
| t432 | it is looking in jdk 6 dir | 10:05 |
| adhown | try to apt-get install zlib1g-dev | 10:05 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | adhown, i have all the zlib packages | 10:05 |
| neure | hi | 10:05 |
| neure | i installed 12.04 in virtual box | 10:05 |
| neure | after installing guest additions, desktop actually seems to work *worse* | 10:06 |
| neure | any ideas? | 10:06 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | oh SKLADJSADKLASD | 10:06 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | wtf | 10:06 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | rofl | 10:06 |
| WarOfTheNerd | neure, use Unity 2D on it | 10:06 |
| ikonia | WhereIsMySpoon: ok, enough now | 10:06 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | adhown, i just built zlib from source | 10:06 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | and it worked | 10:06 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | first time | 10:06 |
| FloodBot1 | WhereIsMySpoon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:06 |
| ikonia | WhereIsMySpoon: pull back the language, | 10:06 |
| adhown | ^^d good job | 10:06 |
| ikonia | WhereIsMySpoon: well, if you've built it from source, you may well have compromised your machine | 10:06 |
| pbx2 | ikonia, wait a second? why is my Firefox build vulnerable? vs. the one that is Ubuntu's rep? | 10:06 |
| neure | WarOfTheNerd, thats the thing, i think installing guest additions switched my desktop to use unity 2d | 10:06 |
| neure | and i think it wasnt before | 10:07 |
| dr--willis | pbx2: no apparmour porfile for one.. | 10:07 |
| dr--willis | profile | 10:07 |
| neure | how can i switch back to full unity or whatever it is called? | 10:07 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, it is 32-bit which gives you less protection in terms of randomising memory locations | 10:07 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ikonia, have you never built anything from source? | 10:07 |
| ikonia | pbx2: I'm not getting into this discussion, I've advised you to use the ubuntu packaged version 3 times and you insist it's got backdoors with no basis or knowledge or experience, | 10:07 |
| ikonia | WhereIsMySpoon: yes | 10:07 |
| ikonia | WhereIsMySpoon: I have built things from source many times | 10:07 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ikonia, then wahts the problem | 10:07 |
| pbx2 | what is this apparmour profile? | 10:07 |
| ikonia | WhereIsMySpoon: well, I do it in a controlled manner and not blindly | 10:08 |
| pbx2 | I was joking regarding the backdoor...I am sure someone went over the source code right ? :) | 10:08 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, AppArmour (Application Armour) is a system which protects you from malware and system compromise by restricting the privileges of applications | 10:08 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ikonia, controlled == ? | 10:08 |
| ikonia | pbx2: give me a valid reason why you do not want to use the ubuntu packaged firefox | 10:08 |
| Onixs | oh damn… just lost a 500gb of data :( | 10:08 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | D: | 10:09 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, basically, it says firefox can only do certain things and anything outside of those approved things is denied | 10:09 |
| ikonia | WhereIsMySpoon: make sure it doesn't conflict with any dependencies of the existing system, isolate where possible away from existing packages, etc, make sure I'm building the right thing for the right reason | 10:09 |
| pbx2 | you mean sandboxing tech. | 10:09 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, it's not a sandbox, it's better than a sandbox | 10:09 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, it's a white-list based mandatory access control system | 10:10 |
| zav22 | i just randomly poked my head in to see what was happening in here and this guy trying to install firefox has kept me here for like an hour just about peeing my pants laughing. *steps back into the shadows* | 10:10 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, look at this: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XxqHKY5F | 10:11 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, this is an apparmor profile | 10:11 |
| t432 | anyone | 10:12 |
| t432 | ? | 10:12 |
| dr--willis | anyonewhat? | 10:12 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, it stops firefox writing to anywhere outside where it is expected to write for normal operation | 10:12 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, for example it can write to Downloads but not to Documents when it's enabled | 10:13 |
| t432 | The command "update-alternatives --config java" confirms jdk7 but "Ant" program points to jdk6 - message" Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386/lib/tools.jar" ... was working fine before reboot | 10:13 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, so malware couldn't just trash your docs/pics/videos and such | 10:13 |
| curiousx | WarOfTheNerd: http://i.imgur.com/Y7b1W.png | 10:14 |
| pbx2 | does ubuntu come with a firewall pre-installed? | 10:14 |
| === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris | ||
| ikonia | pbx2: it has iptables installed by default | 10:14 |
| Chuck_Norris | pbx2: ye, ipatbles | 10:14 |
| ikonia | pbx2: although there is no rule set in place, | 10:14 |
| ikonia | !ufu | pbx2 | 10:14 |
| ikonia | !ufw | pbx2 | 10:14 |
| ubottu | pbx2: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 10:14 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, it has one built-in but it's not enabled by default as it doesn't need to be | 10:15 |
| pbx2 | well I guess I need to enable mine now | 10:15 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, the only systems that need a firewall by default are Solaris and Windows | 10:15 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, no you don't need to unless you're running stuff that's massively insecure | 10:16 |
| Chuck_Norris | pbx2: why so paranoic? you know what? Linux !=windows | 10:16 |
| ikonia | Chuck_Norris: windows is not insecure, please don't miss-lead users | 10:16 |
| WarOfTheNerd | pbx2, if you've installed Samba for example you might want it, but the default Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Lubuntu install doesn't benefit from a firewall | 10:16 |
| ikonia | the OS you use is as secure as you make it | 10:16 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ikonia, by default it's insecure | 10:16 |
| ikonia | no, I'm sorry, it's not | 10:17 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ikonia, yes it is. Did you know that ISPs used to block ports 135-139 and port 445 because by default you could remote Windows 2000? | 10:17 |
| ikonia | so ? | 10:17 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ikonia, as in there was no security on its remote admin by default by design | 10:17 |
| ikonia | WarOfTheNerd: I'm not interested in this stuff | 10:17 |
| ikonia | join ##windows if you want to debate it | 10:18 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ikonia, so it's fair to say Windows is insecure by default | 10:18 |
| WarOfTheNerd | (because it is_ | 10:18 |
| ikonia | WarOfTheNerd: I'm sorry but it's not, it's as secure as you make it | 10:18 |
| krababbel | ikonia: unfortunately they lowered UAC by one to be default | 10:18 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ikonia, yes, but by default it is insecure | 10:18 |
| pbx2 | so now my firefox build is vulnerable to buffer overflow exploits...because I built it from the tar | 10:18 |
| ikonia | WarOfTheNerd: join ##windows if you want to debate it, I'm not interestd | 10:18 |
| ikonia | pbx2: why are you regusing to use the ubuntu package ? | 10:18 |
| ikonia | this is getting tedious, you either need to pick the firefox build and take responsability yourself, or pick the ubuntu package and allow ubuntu to support you | 10:19 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ikonia, then why disagree with something which is known fact? :| | 10:19 |
| ikonia | WarOfTheNerd: because it's not | 10:19 |
| Chuck_Norris | ikonia: if windows doesnt use an AV what's? | 10:20 |
| ikonia | Chuck_Norris: I'm sorry, that doesn't make any sense, and I'm not interested in a windows discussion in this channel | 10:20 |
| Chuck_Norris | ok | 10:21 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Chuck_Norris, remember no-one in this channel has every touched IIS with default permissions and gotten owned in minutes, because we're all smart enough to use something that has good default permissions xD | 10:22 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ever* | 10:23 |
| ikonia | WarOfTheNerd: enough | 10:23 |
| joelio | Is there a way to make the oem config skip the user creation question? I don't need that bit | 10:24 |
| Chuck_Norris | WarOfTheNerd: xD IIS a couple of day a saw how to DOS an IIS server last version and suddenly BSOD | 10:25 |
| WarOfTheNerd | joelio, do you mean when you're installing? | 10:25 |
| bazhang | !ot | Chuck_Norris | 10:25 |
| ubottu | Chuck_Norris: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 10:25 |
| WarOfTheNerd | joelio, if so that user gets erased post-install | 10:25 |
| iceroot | Chuck_Norris: can you stop that please? we are not interested in such discussions here | 10:25 |
| joelio | WarOfTheNerd: Yes, I'm creating a supported enviroment for users at $WORK. This entails ubuntu 12.04, kerberos (with cached credentials for laptops) and lots of puppet | 10:26 |
| joelio | I therefore don't need a local user account | 10:26 |
| Chuck_Norris | ok, i'll stop it =P this is the CVE MS12-020 -.- | 10:26 |
| WarOfTheNerd | joelio, I could be wrong but I think the OEM mode is for home-user shipping, not for enterprise | 10:26 |
| t432 | Problem Solved by editing .bashrc file | 10:27 |
| WarOfTheNerd | joelio, at work, the best way is to customise an install and then image it across | 10:27 |
| joelio | WarOfTheNerd: Yea, but it's a handy tool to allow configuration of the system | 10:27 |
| joelio | WarOfTheNerd: No, I already have my PXE booting, automated environment. | 10:27 |
| joelio | There's different users that are difficult to manage programatically | 10:27 |
| joelio | therefore I needa simple post install script that runs on first boot | 10:28 |
| joelio | the user just sets their keyboard/language | 10:28 |
| joelio | I can write another gui to do this, just trying to save time | 10:28 |
| WarOfTheNerd | might need to hack on it a bit in that case | 10:28 |
| krad | hi. does anyone know of a SSL Proxy server? | 10:28 |
| joelio | WarOfTheNerd: Yea, that's what I'm thinking | 10:28 |
| ikonia | krad: please don't ask for that in here | 10:28 |
| ruman | please tell me any tool for converting my outlook mail to thunderbird | 10:29 |
| krad | ikonia, i want to set up my own ssl proxy server | 10:29 |
| krad | ikonia, not asking for a public one | 10:29 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ikonia, why not? it's for his own Ubuntu install | 10:29 |
| ikonia | joelio: can you not create a standard user and then remove it as part of the post-install | 10:29 |
| krad | squid doesnt work for me so far .. i want to try other programs | 10:29 |
| ikonia | WarOfTheNerd: because I thought he was asking for a public one | 10:29 |
| joelio | ikonia: It's not the isssue... the issue is the oem-config asking to create a user | 10:29 |
| ikonia | krad: squid does work fine as an SSL proxy | 10:29 |
| ikonia | joelio: I see | 10:30 |
| joelio | the user doesn't need an account as they have one in kerberos | 10:30 |
| krad | ikonia, nope .. | 10:30 |
| krad | ikonia, wasted losts of time trying to set it up | 10:30 |
| WarOfTheNerd | krad, I might be wrong but Polipo might do SSL | 10:30 |
| krad | polipo, ok. will check that | 10:30 |
| jolaren | I have a domain adress that I have "A" pointed to my server.. now I want to point my server to that adress, how do I do this? | 10:30 |
| ikonia | krad: I've done it before, so I know it works | 10:30 |
| MonkeyDust | ruman read this http://www.twistermc.com/1376/outlook-thunderbird/ | 10:31 |
| krad | WarOfTheNerd, does look like polipo supports ssl | 10:31 |
| neure | where can i get more themes? | 10:32 |
| neure | i want my window background dark | 10:32 |

| Chuck_Norris | ruman: use thunderbird, and you can install office 2010 using "Play On Linux" is very easy, but idk if Outlook works fine | 10:55 |
| PunTrbuh | Outlook 2010 worked fine when i tried that | 10:56 |
| Chuck_Norris | with thunderbird you can import outlook mail, recently a user paste a link about it | 10:56 |
| MonkeyDust | ruman did you read this? http://www.twistermc.com/1376/outlook-thunderbird/ | 10:56 |
| PunTrbuh | Chuck_Norris: he'll loose shared calendars and all the native exchange server funcionality if he switches to TB, not a problem if they dont use exchange at all | 10:57 |
| ruman | MonkeyDust..ya i have read...it works | 10:57 |
| Chuck_Norris | PunTrbuh: ok didn't know that ty | 10:57 |
| ruman | but want to know ...can we install MS outlook in Ubuntu | 10:57 |
| MonkeyDust | ruman it's windows program, so you need wine | 10:58 |
| PunTrbuh | ruman: in short, you can. | 10:58 |
| DaZ | why not just use thunderbird, or something? :x | 10:59 |
| ruman | PunTrbuh: how .. | 10:59 |
| fidel_ | ruman: using wine/crossover most likely | 11:00 |

| neweruser123 | how come when you type my username the text is orange? | 11:04 |
| jrib | neweruser123: your client does that so you don't miss messages addressed to you | 11:04 |

| scheuri | hi all | 11:04 |
| neweruser123 | oh ok | 11:04 |
| scheuri | sorry for interrupting, got a question: I have a central syslog-ng-server which writes log messages from hosts in a file AND in database. Now I am looking for a way to check those messages in real time (either MySQL or file) to raise an alarm if needed....any idea of such a programm or script? | 11:04 |
| neweruser123 | who develops grub? | 11:04 |
| fidel_ | neweruser123: most clients come with some kind of tab-completion as well if it comes to usernames: so typing: fid + TAB might result in something like: fidel: | 11:05 |
| neweruser123 | fidel_: | 11:05 |
| neweruser123 | oh i see | 11:05 |
| neweruser123 | ok i am reading the page but it doesnt say anything about changing the order | 11:06 |
| neweruser123 | OF the operating systems | 11:06 |
| neweruser123 | can someone clarify where am i supposed to look i dont see what im looknig for | 11:08 |
| Chuck_Norris | neweruser123: you can do that easyly using "Grub customizer" | 11:08 |
| neweruser123 | where is that Chuck_Norris | 11:08 |
| Chuck_Norris | idk if it's in "Ubuntu Software Center" but this is the PPA: ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer | 11:09 |
| krababbel | neweruser123: look at the link, under 'configuring grub' | 11:09 |
| Chuck_Norris | i have already install it | 11:09 |
| neweruser123 | i have "muon software center" | 11:09 |
| Chuck_Norris | neweruser123: here you specify which operating system goes first or then http://i.imgur.com/lcftq.png | 11:11 |

| neweruser123 | ok once terminal has done the installing how do i access the program | 11:17 |
| Jonii | neweruser123: if you use unity, try windows key + write the name of your program to the search bar that appears | 11:17 |
| elhoir_ | hello, i have problems with Unity | 11:17 |
| elhoir_ | no panels are shown/loaded, only desktop icons | 11:17 |

| elhoir_ | this is the "unity --reset" output ----> http://pastebin.com/JSd8gac5 | 11:18 |
| elhoir_ | any idea? | 11:18 |
| neweruser123 | nevermind i took a rough guess " open grub-customozer" and it worked | 11:19 |
| Jonii | you can probably just write grub-cus + tab + enter to open it. I think | 11:20 |
| neweruser123 | since im editing it can I add a nice theme | 11:20 |
| Jonii | Anyway, does anyone know how to write a file to a folder like that? | 11:23 |
| neweruser123 | where can i get grub 2 pictures?! | 11:24 |

| Jonii | First: My laptop(Asus Zenbook) does not handle suspending very well. It crashes if I try | 11:49 |
| Jonii | 12.4 | 11:50 |
| mpavel | BlouBlou: Thanks for the help, found a link with some help here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades | 11:50 |
| Jonii | Second, I can't get my clickpad working properly, can't get secondary mouse click, commonly referred to as mouse2 or rightclick, to work by clicking | 11:50 |
| branant | Jonii: I have the same problem with Asus G53JW ROG | 11:50 |
| Jonii | only this weird double-tap work, but that requires I leave click with touchpad enabled | 11:51 |
| branant | Jonii: Not the mouse but the suspend problem | 11:51 |
| Jonii | Third, my computer locks itself if I close the lid | 11:51 |
| branant | Jonii: OK, that is something you can change in settings. | 11:52 |
| BlouBlou | mpavel: well, good luck with it then! :P | 11:52 |
| mpavel | BlouBlou: Thanks again! | 11:52 |
| Jonii | I have set from power management settings that my computer should do nothing when lid is closed, and also have set it so that computer locks only after 5 minutes of being idle, not after screen turns off | 11:52 |
| Jonii | THat does not help | 11:52 |
| Jonii | What I wonder is, is that problem specific to my laptop or does 12.4 just work that way, locking every single laptop if you happen to close the lid | 11:53 |
| branant | Jonii: It acts differently on battery and power from source, don't forget | 11:53 |

| ThePendulum | MonkeyDust: I think ubottu is a bit outdated on the topic. Afaik, Ubuntu 12.04 has a PowerPC release | 12:42 |
| Sazpaimon_ | ThePendulum, still a community port | 12:43 |
| ThePendulum | Sazpaimon_: Ah, okay, thanks for making that clear | 12:43 |
| fehlersturm | Sazpaimon_: k well try it if it doesnt work i would get a list of installed packages. ( aptitude search ~i | cut -c 4-28). save your home somewher. reinstall base system. copy back home and reinstall all the packages from the list | 12:43 |
| OerHeks | ThePendulum, ubuntu 12.04 runs fine on a mac mini, except for flash. | 12:43 |

| ThePendulum | OerHeks: That's okay, it will be used as a HTPC, mainly | 12:44 |
| Sazpaimon_ | fehlersturm, i don't have aptitude, but the command I pasted earlier says it will reinstall about 3000 packages, so I'm guessing it's working | 12:44 |
| vmiheer | How to make a software on one machine and make install on other which has no dependancied installed? | 12:45 |
| ikonia | vmiheer: you don't really do that, | 12:46 |
| ikonia | vmiheer: you need the dependencies to be on the machine you want to use it on | 12:46 |
| fehlersturm | Sazpaimon_: yeah itll reinstall all the installed packages. question is if your system will end up working. so i suggested backing up a list of the installed packages so that you can reinstall them on a fresh install if it fails | 12:46 |
| suley | fehlersturm, could I ask a question? how to install over 3,000 packages without typing apt-get install *** for thousands of times? | 12:46 |
| ikonia | suley: build a meta package | 12:46 |
| suley | ikonia, thanks. | 12:47 |
| fehlersturm | suley: apt-get install all the names of the 3000 packages whitespace seperated | 12:47 |
| OerHeks | ThePendulum, other q&a > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 12:47 |
| vmiheer | ikonia: Why should i install build deps on client machine? | 12:47 |
| ThePendulum | OerHeks: Thanks, already ended up there hehe | 12:47 |
| Sazpaimon_ | fehlersturm, I don't see why it wouldn't, it basically be like installing ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-desktop on a fresh baselayout | 12:47 |
| ikonia | vmiheer: oh, build dependencies, no you should't | 12:47 |
| ikonia | vmiheer: I thought you where asking about runtime | 12:47 |
| vmiheer | ikonia: And also i don't want to build it on each machine | 12:48 |
| Sazpaimon_ | but, if it fails it fails, it's not my primary computer anyway | 12:48 |
| ikonia | vmiheer: then don't | 12:48 |
| vmiheer | ikonia: What should i do? | 12:48 |
| ikonia | vmiheer: build it on one machine, then copy it to the others | 12:48 |
| ikonia | vmiheer: or, do a professional job and make a .deb package | 12:48 |
| ikonia | then install the deb package on other machines | 12:48 |
| vmiheer | ikonia: I have made a tar out of it. And extracted on other machine... What's next? | 12:49 |
| suley | fehlersturm: I did what you just told us. and put all this packages name to a single plain text file. So can I just use "apt-get install << packages_backup.txt " to reinstall this packages? | 12:49 |
| ikonia | vmiheer: if you've untarred it to the other machine, you are done | 12:49 |
| fehlersturm | Sazpaimon_: i dont say it wont either. but you had HD issues i dont know what exactly that means but from experience half broken systems often dont work as expected. so to be on the save side i would sve that list somewhere. | 12:49 |
| ikonia | suley: just build a meta package | 12:50 |
| vmiheer | ikonia: I don't know and i don't have that much time to build a package... :( | 12:50 |
| fehlersturm | suley: are the package names newline seperated? | 12:50 |
| ikonia | vmiheer: what do you mean you don't know ? | 12:50 |
| suley | fehlersturm: Yes | 12:50 |

| Captain_Proton | ikonia, /etc/mailname is what it points to and that is set to -rw-r--r-- | 12:55 |
| ikonia | Inspiral: what package is it and why are you trying to do it as cron | 12:55 |
| fehlersturm | Inspiral: you need to make apt ask no questions i think its -y or -q look at the manpage for apt | 12:55 |

| fidel_ | Sazpaimon_: just as i am curious: how have to even reached a point where you have to install 2000 packages in the first place? | 13:23 |
| Pici | defunkt: Are you just having problems with red.mchs.com? or other domains as well? | 13:23 |
| Sazpaimon_ | fidel_, will that give any decent output? I wouldn't think that i would have any debugging symbols | 13:23 |
| defunkt | Pici, all dns names do not resolve | 13:23 |
| Sazpaimon_ | fidel_, I'm trying to reinstall every package in my system after a hard drive crash | 13:23 |

| defunkt | and also running ubuntu 10.04 | 13:23 |
| fidel_ | Sazpaimon_: was just a wild guess - i have used gdb myself only about 10 times and usually to debug dev-builds - not apps which are supposed to run stable | 13:23 |
| Sazpaimon_ | 1196 packages also segfaults | 13:23 |
| defunkt | although it is different hardware | 13:23 |
| Sazpaimon_ | 742 packages also segfaults? what the | 13:24 |
| Pici | defunkt: If you use a different dns server, does that work? doing something like: dig yahoo.com @8.8.8.8 | 13:24 |
| Sazpaimon_ | let me try aptitude | 13:24 |

| phraktal77 | I have a quick cam connected to my ubuntu 12.04. I'm following a tutorial to setup streaming using the webcam, ffmpeg and such. In the tutorial, they talk about /dev/dsp but that does not exist in ubuntu.. | 14:46 |
| phraktal77 | which /dev describes a webcam build in microphone | 14:46 |
| AlbertOlig | Hallo09 zusammen / Hi together | 14:46 |
| phraktal77 | or how do I go about mapping /dev in general ? | 14:47 |
| bullitdepeix | bobweaver: i've downloaded the rt3090...deb, you said something about compile it? | 14:47 |
| zykotick9 | phraktal77: i'd guess 2 /dev devices myself. 1 for video /dev/video0 perhaps and 1 for audio (unknown by me what device name it would take). | 14:47 |
| bobweaver | no bullitdepeix if it is .deb just open with software center and install | 14:47 |

| sacarlson | LoboX: I'm not sure that dhcpd started or not, if you want a static address you can set that manualy on your system | 15:10 |
| bullitdepeix | bobweaver: don't you think that I should perform a make && make install ? | 15:10 |
| sacarlson | LoboX: you can also configure dhcpd to set the ip to any system to the same ip each time by mac lookup | 15:11 |
| bobweaver | bullitdepeix, not sure I do know that you do need that driver thou | 15:11 |

| csioktel | sacarlson: ipv4 over ipv6? do you mean ipv6 over ipv4? | 16:00 |

| `prixon | how can I check if i915 is and ASPM is enabled? | 16:01 |
| sacarlson | csioktel: no it was an only ipv6 system so it still needed to translate ipv4 addresses to ipv6 | 16:01 |
| csioktel | sacarlson: yes, i want support native ipv6, not tunnel | 16:01 |

| sacarlson | Harris: I guess if you run it in a virtual box, but most would be ported to 12.04 | 16:02 |
| Qasaur | I have a question, I'm learning programming and I was thinking of doing really simple bugfixes to Ubuntu. You know, help out the community | 16:02 |
| Qasaur | is this something feasible | 16:02 |
| Qasaur | or should I wait till I'm more experienced | 16:02 |
| delchi | ok | 16:03 |
| delchi | looks like this one is a lost cause. | 16:03 |
| delchi | Thanks for the assist though. | 16:03 |
| csioktel | Qasaur: just do it, if you want | 16:03 |
| Qasaur | Is it possible that I might fuck up and make things even more difficult? | 16:03 |
| Qasaur | I don't want to hinder anyones efforts here. | 16:04 |
| yandex839 | Qasaur: That's feasible. There was a "papercut" project to identify simple issues to fix, you might want to look at those. | 16:04 |
| Qasaur | Huh? What do you mean | 16:04 |
| sacarlson | Qasaur: there are thousands of bugs to fix, if you can fix any of them go for it | 16:04 |
| yandex839 | Qasaur: You wouldn't be able to screw things up - Ubuntu has version control, so anything can be reverted. Also, you won't have permission to commit your changes, someone else would look at your bug fix and assess it | 16:04 |
| Qasaur | Ah I see | 16:04 |
| Qasaur | so basically I fix the bug and someone else merges the fix to the main trunk? | 16:04 |
| Qasaur | so someone else verifies my changes | 16:05 |
| yandex839 | Yes | 16:05 |

| escott | ceti331__, at some point you are going to be directed back to emacs, but you might also try gedit or scite (which is more python specific) | 16:05 |
| sacarlson | Qasaur: you can publish your changes on ppa or github.com if people like it they will adapt to it | 16:06 |
| euddee26 | freenode sucks | 16:06 |
| Qasaur | wait, doesn't ubuntu use launchpad and not githu? | 16:06 |
| Qasaur | github* | 16:06 |
| OerHeks | Qasaur, yes launchpad. github is for private projects. | 16:07 |

| OerHeks | Qasaur, i do not expect beginners to fix bugs, i hope beginners are capable of filing a bugreport. | 16:08 |
| reisio | truepurple: could be problematic depending on what you're installing and at what point it's at | 16:09 |
| yandex839 | truepurple: Only if it hasn't started the install itself (if it's still downloading the files). Otherwise, you can just uninstall afterwards. | 16:09 |
| Qasaur | OerHeks: I mean a programming beginner, not an ubuntu beginner | 16:09 |
| truepurple | yandex839 , if its still downloading the files, how can I stop it? | 16:09 |

| mneptok | truepurple: "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer" | 16:26 |
| truepurple | mneptok, So I don't have to actually remove it to do as you ask? | 16:26 |
| LoboX | what i dont see is the information on eth0 | 16:26 |
| ikonia | truepurple: you should remove as mneptok is telling you | 16:26 |
| LoboX | is blank no ip info | 16:27 |
| jobinar | how do i get that LoboX ? | 16:27 |
| mneptok | truepurple: if you installed the packages i mention, you have a 32 bit Flash plugin running with a wrapper for 64. it's ugly. | 16:27 |
| LoboX | if its by dhcp is auto | 16:27 |
| mneptok | truepurple: my suggestion gets you the 64 bit native plugin | 16:27 |
| jobinar | ya its auto | 16:27 |
| jobinar | i have not added ip manually, neither in Ubuntu nor in Debian nor in Windows | 16:28 |
| LoboX | ok what you need to do is, verify if anybody else is able to connect via cable on your room | 16:28 |
| truepurple | mneptok, when I initially did the work trying to get flash installed, I remember specifically aiming for a 64bit version, how can I tell if my version is 64 bit or not? | 16:28 |
| jobinar | yes they can | 16:28 |
| LoboX | ok | 16:28 |
| ikonia | truepurple: uname -a | 16:28 |
| ikonia | truepurple: can you paste the output of that command please. | 16:28 |
| truepurple | ikonia, 2.6.38-15-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 27 16:03:32 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 16:28 |
| ikonia | truepurple: ok, so it's a 64bit host | 16:29 |
| mneptok | truepurple: you can follow my instructions or not. but sorry, i don;t have time to run in circles figuring out what you did, when i already know exactly what it is you need to do. | 16:29 |
| truepurple | I also have lots of other troubles with flash too, | 16:29 |
| truepurple | ok I will mneptok | 16:29 |
| mneptok | truepurple: "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer" | 16:29 |
| LoboX | jobinar ok so check nano /etc/network/interfaces | 16:29 |
| jobinar | ya what should there be, LoboX ? | 16:30 |
| truepurple | mneptok, "Package flashplugin-nonfree is not installed, so not removed" | 16:30 |
| jobinar | its a two line file | 16:30 |
| jobinar | i had once checked that | 16:30 |
| mneptok | truepurple: great. are you comfortable using a text editor in the command line (e.g. nano)? | 16:30 |
| LoboX | ok just wanted to know if you change any information there | 16:30 |
| truepurple | mneptok, I have before, and I can try my best | 16:30 |
| LoboX | guess not | 16:31 |
| mneptok | truepurple: nah, just open the "Synaptic Package Manager" app | 16:31 |
| === EvanR_ is now known as EvanR | ||
| jobinar | i can, LoboX using sudo authority, right? | 16:31 |
| LoboX | yes | 16:31 |
| jobinar | but what should i change, Lobox? | 16:31 |
| truepurple | mneptok, done | 16:31 |
| mneptok | truepurple: from the menu. Settings>Repositories | 16:32 |
| truepurple | done | 16:32 |
| LoboX | dont change nothing, just want to know what info you had there | 16:32 |
| mneptok | truepurple: the "Other Software" tab | 16:32 |
| mneptok | truepurple: check the box next to "Canonical Partners" | 16:32 |
| jobinar | i will have to reboot, please hang on | 16:33 |
| === hari is now known as Guest33644 | ||
| truepurple | mneptok, there are two such entries, one with source code in it, and one without | 16:33 |
| mneptok | truepurple: the "source" one is optional. in the case of Flash, you can't get the source anyway | 16:34 |
| === Guest33644 is now known as harikt | ||
| truepurple | mneptok, ok I checked the box, click ok? | 16:34 |
| mneptok | truepurple: yessir | 16:34 |
| truepurple | I mean close, ok done | 16:34 |
| mneptok | truepurple: close up Synaptic, open a terminal and paste this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin | 16:35 |
| truepurple | mneptok, now reload repository? | 16:35 |
| truepurple | mneptok, don't I need to do something first since the repository changed? | 16:35 |
| === root____2 is now known as xzerox | ||
| mneptok | truepurple: the "apt-get update" does that | 16:35 |
| truepurple | I assume you want me to run the line too. | 16:36 |
| mneptok | truepurple: paste what i put above | 16:36 |
| truepurple | then, enter, right? | 16:36 |
| mneptok | truepurple: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin | 16:36 |
| mneptok | truepurple: yes. | 16:37 |
| ea1het | good evening | 16:37 |
| truepurple | mneptok, ok, done, now why is this a better option then downloading from adobe? | 16:37 |
| ea1het | anyone who has experience in KVM who might help me in a couple of questions? | 16:37 |
| mneptok | truepurple: because any future updates will be automatic. | 16:37 |
| jobinar | Here's the link, LoboX http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016600/ | 16:38 |
| truepurple | mneptok, it is ok for my browser to be up while this is happening, right? | 16:38 |
| mneptok | truepurple: granted, in the case of Flash, which is dead on Linux, updates will be few. but hopefully security problems will be fixed. | 16:38 |
| mneptok | truepurple: sure, but the broswer may not "see" the plugin until it is closed and restarted. | 16:38 |
| truepurple | How is flash dead on linux? | 16:39 |
| Dr_willis | adobe is giving up. ;) | 16:39 |
| mneptok | truepurple: Adobe has discontinued development of the Linux plugin. | 16:39 |
| mateo49 | hello | 16:39 |
| ea1het | hi | 16:39 |
| cristian_c | Hi | 16:40 |
| truepurple | mneptok, Is the linux community filling the void at all, or plan to? | 16:40 |
| killer | hi | 16:40 |
| cristian_c | How can I enable the pinch gesture on my touchpad with ubuntu? | 16:40 |
| killer | my Speakers are working ok...but no sound in headphones | 16:41 |
| mneptok | truepurple: it's closed source. the best that can be done is reverse engineering. GNASH is that project. and it's hardly at feature parity with the Adobe plugins. | 16:41 |
| escott | truepurple, there are open source flash interpreters, but the reality is that by the time those would be 100% compatible flash will be long gone | 16:41 |
| mozmck | I updated precise this morning and now my sound does not work, but the speakers make a continual popping noise | 16:41 |
| mozmck | anyone else seeing something like that? | 16:41 |
| jamescarr | is there an easy way to turn off upstart services from booting? | 16:41 |
| jamescarr | a quick google just gave me links saying o just comment out files under /etc/init.d | 16:41 |
| jamescarr | but that sounds daft | 16:41 |
| LoboX | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016607/ <-- do this | 16:42 |
| LoboX | and restart your interfaced | 16:42 |
| LoboX | interface | 16:42 |
| cristian_c | There is this page: http://askubuntu.com/questions/11300/how-do-i-test-multi-gesture-capabilities-of-a-touchpad | 16:42 |
| jobinar | 1 sec , LoboX . | 16:42 |
| truepurple | mneptok, Will what I did apply to chrome too? | 16:42 |
| mneptok | truepurple: yes. | 16:42 |
| Dr_willis | jamescarr, upstart scripts are in /etc/init/ the old sysv ones are in the init.d and other rc# dirs | 16:42 |
| NastyNaz | whats the name of the network security/penetration testing linux distro? | 16:42 |
| jamescarr | Dr_willis, regardless, whats the "right" way to disable em? | 16:43 |
| Dr_willis | jamescarr, for an upstart service you could rename its /etc/init/servicename.conf to be servicename.dontrun or edit its contents and tell it to not load | 16:43 |
| cristian_c | but I don't understand what set-prop is related to the pinch | 16:43 |
| mneptok | NastyNaz: not really an Ubuntu support question. thus offtopic. | 16:43 |
| cristian_c | Any ideas? | 16:43 |
| jamescarr | Dr_willis, but I still want it to run if I call "service foo start" | 16:43 |
| Dr_willis | for sysv - you nromally remove the LINK in the rc# that you want them disabled. | 16:43 |
| truepurple | mneptok, I closed and restarted chrome, but it still says my version isn't 11.2 or latter, do I need to close all browsers in order for the change to be seen, or just the browsers in question? | 16:43 |
| mneptok | NastyNaz: but i'm pretty sure Wolfram Alpha could parse that natural language question with a simple CTL-C CTL-V | 16:43 |
| Dr_willis | jamescarr, never really noticed. you may need to edit the .conf file if thats what you want to do | 16:44 |
| jamescarr | Dr_willis, thanks. Google led me to the chkconfig tool | 16:44 |
| jamescarr | gonna check it o ut | 16:44 |
| mneptok | truepurple: look in your home directory for a .mozille folder. look in it, and see if there's a "Plugins" folder. move any Flash version out of that folder. | 16:45 |
| `prixon | hello | 16:45 |
| xzerox | exit | 16:45 |
| mneptok | truepurple: correction, .mozilla | 16:45 |
| `prixon | I use ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.4.0 and get "-1" for "cat /sys/module/i915/parameters/i915_enable_rc6". can someone explain what that means? I was under the impression that i915 is enabled in 12.04 | 16:46 |
| truepurple | mneptok, move it where? | 16:47 |
| mneptok | truepurple: anywhere but where it is. :) | 16:47 |
| truepurple | mneptok, also the libflashplayer.so file? | 16:47 |
| Pierreb | do ubuntu come with a built in rdp server? | 16:47 |
| mneptok | truepurple: yes, that is the actual plugin. and it's NOT the one you just got from the repositories. | 16:47 |
| truepurple | mneptok, then what is flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710.tar.gz? | 16:48 |
| mneptok | truepurple: it's something you installed manually, it's an older version, and it is overriding the more recent plugin Adobe sent you from the Partner repo. | 16:48 |
| truepurple | mneptok, so I can safely delete these files? | 16:48 |
| mneptok | truepurple: the tar.gz is the compressed plugin you got off the web. | 16:48 |
| mneptok | truepurple: sure, you can delete them | 16:49 |
| mneptok | truepurple: restart Chrome. then paste this into Chrome's addressbar: chrome://plugins | 16:49 |
| truepurple | ah, it worked! I didnt even need to restart | 16:49 |
| mneptok | truepurple: you now have the 64-bit native 11.2 plugin direct from Adobe. | 16:50 |
| truepurple | Flash - Version: 11.2 r202 | 16:50 |
| truepurple | mneptok, how about updating chrome? | 16:50 |
| escott | `prixon, honestly nobody in this channel is going to know what the particular values of a /sys/module parameter are going to mean. did you search online for this? you might try specifying site:kernel.org | 16:50 |
| mneptok | truepurple: should be done via repos. the Chrome .deb installer adds stuff so Google's repos keep you updated. | 16:51 |
| truepurple | mneptok, you lost me, what do I need to do? | 16:51 |
| mneptok | truepurple: nothing :) | 16:51 |
| truepurple | mneptok, but my chrome version is out of date, I am told the latest version is at least 19, but mine is 18 | 16:52 |
| reisio | truepurple: your chrome version will always be out of date | 16:52 |
| reisio | on any OS | 16:53 |
| truepurple | reisio, hmm? Please elaborate on that | 16:53 |
| VictorCL | how can I avoid a cron that has a wget on it to write log to /root ? | 16:53 |

| Brend | Hi everyone. So I'm using Xubuntu 12.04, and tonight my mouse has started freaking out. It's as if either the middle button or the scroll wheel are stuck active -- any window I move over is brought to the front, any select box (or tab set) I hover on goes straight to the last item, etc. It doesn't seem to be the mouse itself, it happens with every mouse I have. | 16:54 |
| llutz | VictorCL: wget -q | 16:54 |
| truepurple | reisio, Oh, but mine is very out of date it seems, a whole version number, how do I update it anyway? | 16:54 |
| Brend | While poking around I've noticed that my keyboard is being detected as a mouse (two mice, in fact!) and I'm wondering if that's related: http://bpaste.net/show/qGfOVDylAvfkyK4Efdgh/ | 16:55 |
| reisio | truepurple: only out of date by a week | 16:56 |
| reisio | Brend: related to what | 16:56 |

| escott | `prixon, from http://askubuntu.com/questions/59135/how-can-i-know-list-available-options-for-kernel-modules | 16:56 |
| Brend | reisio: To the problem I described five lines earlier | 16:56 |
| mneptok | truepurple: how did you install Chrome? | 16:56 |
| reisio | maybe for someone with join/part disabled | 16:56 |
| truepurple | reisio, ok, well how do I update it anyway? Or just that I am using linux that I must be behind others? | 16:56 |
| === KidFromChittagon is now known as abhi_ | ||
| truepurple | mneptok, I assume software center, but I don't remember for sure | 16:57 |
| ikonia | truepurple: you can only update it when new packages are offered/made available | 16:57 |
| reisio | truepurple: with your package manager | 16:57 |
| mneptok | truepurple: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 16:57 |
| reisio | attempting to always have upstream's latest version would be a waste of time | 16:57 |
| truepurple | mneptok, what does dist-upgrade do? | 16:57 |
| BlouBlou | it upgrades your ubuntu version | 16:58 |
| `prixon | hmmm -1 = (use per-chip default) (int). thanks! | 16:58 |
| mneptok | truepurple: pulls in new packages that relate to the very base of the release. like new kernels. | 16:58 |
| `prixon | can you explain what that means btw? | 16:58 |
| mneptok | BlouBlou: it does not move between Ubuntu releases. "dist-upgrade" will not move an 11.10 install to 12.04. | 16:58 |
| truepurple | mneptok, would it update my linux version? | 16:59 |
| mneptok | truepurple: if by "linux" you mean "the kernel," then yes. if you mean "Ubuntu," then no. | 17:00 |
| escott | `prixon, -1 means "use the default" which is set based on the chipset | 17:00 |
| VictorCL | how can I delete all fiels in a folder that starts with index_api ? | 17:00 |
| VictorCL | rm index_api* | 17:00 |
| VictorCL | can I do that | 17:00 |
| escott | VictorCL, if you want a recursive search find . -iname "index_api*" -delete | 17:00 |

| sacarlson | LoboX: you get it working? | 17:01 |
| truepurple | mneptok, I just don't understand, so my version would remain 11.4? | 17:01 |
| `prixon | escott, but how can I know if it's eventually enabled or disabled? | 17:01 |
| LoboX | not yet was eating something, im trying to stop the dhclient | 17:01 |
| LoboX | i reboted to see something | 17:01 |
| truepurple | oh I see where you answer that | 17:01 |
| LoboX | rebooted | 17:01 |
| mneptok | truepurple: yes. | 17:02 |
| escott | `prixon, that you would presumably have to check the source to see what the default is. agreed that its not to helpful to see a -1 there, but thats what it means | 17:02 |
| reisio | alexfu: no freedesktop .desktop file would be my guess | 17:02 |
| sacarlson | LoboX: just sudo killall dhclient to try it otherwise just uninstall it | 17:02 |
| VictorCL | thanks escott | 17:02 |
| LoboX | ok i reboot and eth0 has the static ip from interfaces | 17:02 |
| LoboX | ok sec | 17:02 |
| truepurple | mneptok, Why is that a separate command? and I thought ubuntu was suppose to update all these automatically without me needing to do stuff, so then why do I need to run 3 different command to update everything, and even then have it not be enough? | 17:03 |
| truepurple | sometimes not enough | 17:03 |
| LoboX | it boot again | 17:04 |
| LoboX | i will unistall | 17:04 |
| mneptok | truepurple: "update" gets you the list of new packages available. without a list of what's changed, how would the system work? "upgrade" gets you the newest packages, except for kernels and such that are going to affect how the machine actually boots and speak to hardware. "dist-upgrade" does that last part. | 17:04 |

| nckrazze | i am trying to do sudo apt-get update, but i get "could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: permission denied) | 17:16 |
| Barbariandude | Penguincsc: Will this also work on application memory, such as thunderbird or pidgin login? | 17:16 |
| pepee | reisio, that will record a linux desktop... I need to record a remote vnc/rdp session from a vbox vm | 17:16 |
| Harris | how do i link my ubuntu account to my vista account | 17:16 |
| Penguincsc | nckrazze: try sudo apt-get update | 17:16 |
| xangua | nckrazze: does you used has administrative/sudo privileges¿ | 17:17 |
| Penguincsc | Barbariandude: I am not sure, but you could create a ramdisk | 17:17 |
| xangua | nckrazze: are you usign the guest account¿ | 17:17 |
| nckrazze | yeah i know penguin, i get "11: resource temporarily unavailable" after I enter my password | 17:17 |
| Penguincsc | Barbariandude: RAM contents are lost anyway, so no worries there | 17:17 |

| nckrazze | and i made account | 17:18 |
| Harris | `how do i link my ubuntu account to my vista account | 17:18 |
| Penguincsc | Barbariandude: check out Backtrack Linux on google | 17:18 |
| OerHeks | harris Ubuntu and vista accounts don't mix | 17:18 |
| Penguincsc | Barbariandude: A USB pendrive isn't a good idea for such a thing - try an external HDD | 17:18 |
| Penguincsc | nckrazze: do you have more than one user account? | 17:19 |
| nckrazze | xangua: do you know? | 17:19 |

| nckrazze | i did that penguin, i get the message i said | 17:20 |
| Harris | how do i make a hidden user account in ubuntu | 17:20 |
| Barbariandude | Penguincsc: Ok. Is there any way (other than Puppy Linux which is unusable due to some Broadcom STA driver issues) to get a portable OS that is password-protected? I don't need it to be secure against crypto-analysis, I just need to be confident tech-illiterate people can't enter-enter-access messenger | 17:20 |
| Harris | how do i make a hidden user account in ubuntu | 17:21 |
| SafariMonkey | Harris: was that your attempt at a hidden IRC account? | 17:21 |
| Penguincsc | nckrazze: so it means another installation program (like the Software Center)is open in the background | 17:21 |
| nckrazze | you sure penguin, i;ll check it out, gimma 1 sec | 17:21 |
| chu | What do you mean by "hidden" Harris? Just not visible at the login screen? | 17:21 |
| Harris | yes chu | 17:21 |
| Harris | SafariMonkey, i dont know what you are talking about | 17:21 |
| nckrazze | how do you open the ubuntu alternative for the windows task manager? | 17:21 |
| pozzz | Hi. trying to install Joomla 254 locally on LAMP, Kubuntu 12.04. The thing is I've found some old screeshots with Step1 and a list of TICKED/GREEN directories that shoud be writable. Now you do not get that. Can I just go ahead with the installation without doing the chown and chmod commands??? | 17:22 |
| SafariMonkey | Harris: you left the room immediately after posting. sorry, it's my bad sense of humor. | 17:22 |
| OerHeks | nckrazze, open terminal: top ( better install Htop) | 17:22 |
| nckrazze | what oer? terminal top? | 17:22 |
| Penguincsc | Barbariandude: in that case, just set it to lock the screen. If you press ALT-CTRL-L before you leave the machine unattended, it will lock immediately | 17:22 |
| Harris | SafariMonkey, my computer froze | 17:23 |
| Harris | chu, what do i do to make it | 17:23 |
| chu | Uunfortunately Harris, things don't look too good. | 17:23 |
| OerHeks | nckrazze, yes, in terminal: top | 17:23 |
| Harris | why | 17:23 |
| nckrazze | i still cant get it penguin, its not working. i have nothing else open | 17:23 |
| Penguincsc | nckrazze: ALT-Shift-Esc | 17:23 |
| chu | Look here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/92349/how-do-i-hide-a-particular-user-from-the-login-screen | 17:23 |
| Barbariandude | Penguincsc: Yes, but they immediately enter my dekstop no-questions-asked if they reboot and select "try without installing" | 17:23 |
| Barbariandude | *desktop | 17:23 |
| SafariMonkey | Harris: yeah, sorry, ironic humor is hard to convey on IRC | 17:23 |
| chu | Harris: Here is the associated bug report too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/857651 | 17:24 |

| chu | Sorry. | 17:24 |
| Harris | chu, how do i try it | 17:24 |
| Penguincsc | Barbariandude: I don't think there's such a distro. Why can't you install? | 17:24 |
| chu | ... | 17:25 |
| Harris | chu, how do i make the hidden account | 17:25 |

| chu | Harris: I don't know. Read the links I gave you. | 17:25 |
| Barbariandude | Penguincsc: There is such a distro, it is Puppy linux. As I said, as of the latest version it doesn't support the Broadcom network card in 2 of the machines I'm using. I cannot install as the machines belong to other people, they are allowing me use as long as I don't touch the hard drives | 17:26 |
| nckrazze_ | yo pengi i got it | 17:27 |
| Penguincsc | nckrazze_: what was it then? | 17:29 |

| mrgt | hey. is there any way to control sound for each application separately? e.g. mute the sound on chrome and keep the sound for movie player. | 17:38 |
| escott | mrgt, pulseaudio should give you controls for that | 17:38 |
| xangua | mrgt: sound icon -configuration - app tab | 17:39 |
| manzamanna | find the solution on #btrfs | 17:39 |
| escott | MaynardWaters, so what is the question then? you dont know how to install grub | 17:39 |
| MaynardWaters | escott: im concerned about killing this "applying changes" I dont want to f up my kernel | 17:41 |
| escott | MaynardWaters, so what is the exact text of the message? | 17:41 |
| mr0wl | what's the deal with Skype in Linux? | 17:42 |
| pepee | hmm I got some dependencies problem: The following packages have unmet dependencies: librtmp-dev : Depends: librtmp0 (= 2.4~20110711.gitc28f1bab-1) but 2.4~20110711.gitc28f1bab-1ubuntu0~ppa1~oneiric1 is to be installed | 17:42 |
| MaynardWaters | "error: cannoc read from '/dev/sdc'" | 17:43 |
| chrometiger | can anyone help me figure out why google earth wont work for me and why I cannot log into gnome shell? I keep getting reverted to fallback mode | 17:43 |
| escott | mr0wl, a straight flush. what do you mean by deal? | 17:43 |
| MaynardWaters | and it just keep printing that in the details box | 17:43 |
| escott | MaynardWaters, and you are seeing this when? | 17:43 |
| MaynardWaters | right now | 17:43 |
| Penguincsc | chrometiger: maybe a graphics card driver issue? | 17:43 |
| escott | MaynardWaters, obviously you are seeing it right now, but what command did you run that is causing this | 17:43 |
| shurikrulik | hi men, give peace of advice pls.. How edit txt file which is in /etc(root rights) from terminal. | 17:44 |
| escott | chrometiger, you probably dont have a glx layer running. what kind of graphics card? | 17:44 |
| chrometiger | Penguinsc: as far as I can see and others helped me earlier it seems my graphics drivers are installed right | 17:44 |
| escott | shurikrulik, gksudo gedit (or any other editor you want to use) | 17:44 |
| MaynardWaters | i just attempted to update using the gui that pops up when it finds updates | 17:44 |
| chrometiger | escott: Intel mobile 4 series card | 17:44 |
| MonkeyDust | shurikrulik type sudo -e [filename] | 17:44 |
| Penguincsc | chrometiger: only google earth? | 17:44 |
| Penguincsc | maybe an OpenGL issue? | 17:45 |
| escott | chrometiger, what is the cpu? | 17:45 |
| Penguincsc | chrometiger: run dmesg | 17:45 |
| chrometiger | Google Earth says "Unknown Graphics card" | 17:45 |
| escott | MaynardWaters, can you give any more context on this error. i still cant figure out where it is coming from | 17:45 |
| MonkeyDust | shurikrulik or sudo nano [filename] | 17:46 |
| Penguincsc | chrometiger: try to log out and choose Unity 2D does it work then? | 17:46 |
| shurikrulik | don't opens... | 17:46 |
| chrometiger | escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016701/ | 17:47 |
| escott | shurikrulik, what exactly did you type? | 17:47 |
| shurikrulik | sudo nano default.txt | 17:47 |
| vph | #ffmpeg | 17:47 |
| chrometiger | Penguinsc: Unity and Unity 2d work, I cant get gnome shell to work | 17:47 |
| escott | chrometiger, /proc/cpuinfo would be more helpful | 17:47 |
| escott | shurikrulik, and what does "pwd" say? | 17:48 |
| MaynardWaters | escott I openedd up this eeepc after a few months of not touching it, it was working find, the update manager popped up with security updates, in clicked install, it go about 70-80% done, then stopped, I see the connot read from /dev/sdc under the details box below the applying changes where it says configureing linux-image-2.6.38-15-generic | 17:48 |
| shurikrulik | nothing no activity | 17:49 |
| shurikrulik | no answers | 17:49 |
| MaynardWaters | im probably just going to sudo kill the update soon if you dont have any ideas where this is coming from | 17:49 |
| escott | MaynardWaters, without some additional lines (like those that preceded the error) its pretty much impossible to figure out what happened | 17:50 |
| shurikrulik | terminal recive command but dose nothing | 17:50 |
| escott | shurikrulik, do you have a terminal prompt? | 17:50 |
| chrometiger | escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016706/ | 17:50 |
| shurikrulik | no | 17:50 |
| Penguincsc | chrometiger: do you have multiple monitors? | 17:50 |
| judgen | i have tried both current desktop and gtk | 17:51 |
| chrometiger | no | 17:51 |
| chrometiger | laptop | 17:51 |
| shurikrulik | nothing absolutely | 17:51 |
| Penguincsc | chrometiger: whats the video chip? | 17:51 |
| chrometiger | Intel Mobile 4 series | 17:51 |
| escott | chrometiger, thats a low end chip. perhaps the graphics card just cant handle it | 17:52 |
| escott | shurikrulik, then what are you seeing? | 17:52 |
| chrometiger | so does gnomeshell require more than Unity ? | 17:52 |
| escott | chrometiger, you could send us "glxinfo" | 17:53 |
| Tigerboy | I've gotten such poor overall video performance under ubuntu considering I have a highend amd and 8core cpu running at 4.2gigahertz per core. a lot of tearing and when I turn tear-free on in amd settings it is very jittery and frame loss goes up | 17:53 |
| chrometiger | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016712/ | 17:54 |
| shurikrulik | i entered sudo nano default.txt , terminal swallowed it and nothing else | 17:54 |
| Penguincsc | chrometiger: does it crash or dosn't start at all? | 17:54 |
| escott | shurikrulik, perhaps you are in nano already i think ctrl-x is the exit key | 17:54 |
| Tigerboy | I am using the default AMD commercial driver that comes with Ubuntu. Should I change it to something else for better performance? | 17:55 |
| chrometiger | gnomeshell doesn't even load it just spits me into gnome panel default | 17:55 |
| shurikrulik | okey, thk u for help. | 17:55 |
| escott | chrometiger, might you have ever installed nvidia drivers? | 17:55 |
| compdoc | Tigerboy, did you select the propritory driver? | 17:55 |
| Tigerboy | yes | 17:55 |
| compdoc | proprietary | 17:55 |
| compdoc | try the native one | 17:55 |
| Tigerboy | commercial = proprietary | 17:56 |
| chrometiger | escott: yeah when I first installed 11.10 I was hooked to my main pc "im running off an external hd" | 17:56 |
| Tigerboy | I need the features of the commercial/proprietary | 17:56 |
| luc4_mac | Hi! I've been asked by the ubuntu developers to test a mainline kernel. I installed it but it is not booting. I reported this result but now the problem is that I can't boot anymore :-) I'd have to select another kernel in grub, but my keyboard does not respond. Is my only chance to use a live CD? | 17:56 |
| escott | chrometiger, then you need to remove the nvidia driver | 17:56 |
| compdoc | not if it doesnt wrk | 17:56 |
| Penguincsc | chrometiger: try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/86465/switch-from-nvidia-to-internal-intel-hd-graphics-opengl-does-not-work | 17:56 |
| chrometiger | escott: how do I go about that | 17:56 |
| escott | chrometiger, you can use jockey to disable the nvidia driver or you can remove it with apt-get | 17:57 |
| chrometiger | escott: k gimme a bit i'll try | 17:58 |
| Penguincsc | chrometiger: it says it in step 4 of the guide I ssent you | 17:58 |

| Penguincsc | baazigar|rajat: did you try dist-upgrade too? | 18:01 |
| Penguincsc | nacho222: how can we help - just ask | 18:01 |
| nacho222 | Thanks | 18:01 |
| nacho222 | I just purchased and put together a new pc | 18:01 |
| nacho222 | looking into Ubuntu, but unsure of its benefits, and what I would lose vs. an old copy of XP? | 18:02 |
| nacho222 | I know they both have a GUI | 18:02 |
| nacho222 | but my concern would be about lack of programs, like itunes (which my wife uses to sync her phone and ipad) | 18:02 |
| Penguincsc | nacho222: iPhone sync is supported | 18:03 |
| Penguincsc | nacho222: did not try iPad, but I guess it is also | 18:03 |
| escott | nacho222, install it and see. it only $0.00 a month for the first 20000 months | 18:04 |
| nacho222 | lol | 18:04 |
| nacho222 | thanks, but how is iphone sync supported? | 18:04 |
| dontknow | what is going on here | 18:04 |
| escott | !ipod | nacho222 | 18:04 |

| xangua | (13:03:22) Penguincsc: nacho222: iPhone sync is supported - only for music, but sometimes after apple release an ios upgrade the support is broken; apples and penguins don't get along | 18:04 |

| mr0wl | escott: about skype | 18:05 |
| choppyfireballs | Yes i'm excited for the dell laptop running ubuntu out of the box, then I remembered it's a Dell | 18:05 |
| judgen | i found this error with skype: (skype:29901): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libubuntulooks.so: fel ELF-klass: ELFCLASS64 | 18:05 |
| escott | mr0wl, yes it is still supported | 18:05 |
| Penguincsc | nacho222: here: http://iphonecontacts.blogspot.com/2011/07/sync-iphone-contacts-to-ubuntu.html | 18:06 |
| mr0wl | escott: so skype for linux is being actively developed? | 18:06 |
| Bulletrulz | chppyfireballs but it still is a main laptop ubuntu is getting more regionized by main computer makers | 18:06 |
| chrometiger | escott, penguinsc thanks | 18:06 |
| Bulletrulz | ya mr0wl i cant even get my cam to work on that | 18:06 |
| nacho222 | Thanks Penguincsc | 18:06 |

| vovkav | Ladies and Gentlemen! Does anyone know of a best (short , concise just-enough) instructions for building debian binary packages out of "make install" software for internal use? (I know how to write control-files, still only have a slight knoledge of makefiles) | 18:06 |

| Ztane | upgrade to 12.04 had crashed on a laptop and now | 18:07 |
| Ztane | single shell is booted to | 18:07 |
| Ztane | and ... | 18:07 |
| Ztane | many commands say | 18:07 |
| bazhang | !checkinstall | vovkav | 18:07 |
| ubottu | vovkav: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 18:07 |
| Penguincsc | nacho222: run it as a live system and try | 18:07 |
| Bulletrulz | !awesome | 18:08 |
| escott | Bulletrulz, ok. how did you install skype? are you 64bit? have you tried using the LD_PRELOAD trick? | 18:08 |
| bazhang | Bulletrulz, /msg ubottu | 18:08 |
| Penguincsc | nacho222: this is about a year old guide, so it might not work | 18:08 |
| nacho222 | what do you mean by a live system? Install it and give it a shot? | 18:08 |
| Bulletrulz | escott im 32 bit and ld reload> | 18:08 |
| Bulletrulz | ? | 18:08 |
| === SpitfireWP_ is now known as SpitfireWP | ||
| Penguincsc | nacho222: another option would be to sync the iPhone with Gmail and then to Ubuntu | 18:08 |
| Ztane | single shell sayhs: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `glibc_2.14' not found (required by /lib/libply.so.2) | 18:09 |
| escott | Bulletrulz, LD_PRELOAD is often needed to make 32bit skype work on 64bit systems. how did you install skype | 18:09 |
| nacho222 | will that do apps as well? Or just contacts? | 18:09 |
| Bulletrulz | escott no! i am a 32 bit system | 18:09 |
| choppyfireballs | When i installed skype i ran the installer for 32 bit i didn't need ldpreload | 18:09 |
| Penguincsc | nacho222: if you can spare a PC - defiantly | 18:09 |
| choppyfireballs | I am also a 32 bit system | 18:09 |
| Bulletrulz | im using LXDE ubuntu 12.04 | 18:09 |
| nacho222 | ok, cool. I'll give it a shot! | 18:10 |
| Penguincsc | nacho222: a live USB is choosing "Try Ubuntu" from the boot screen | 18:10 |
| escott | Bulletrulz, how did you install skype | 18:10 |
| Bulletrulz | esott i think sudo apt-get install skype | 18:10 |
| choppyfireballs | ^^ | 18:10 |
| tomvolek | I need to get a complete dump/image of the disk (OS, configs, everythig) to be used to restore another box, what should I use ? | 18:10 |
| choppyfireballs | is how I installed skype | 18:10 |
| goddard | kill the javascript desktop plugins | 18:10 |
| nacho222 | would a dual boot be a safer option? I'm trying to avoid that as I only have a 64 gb ssd and would like to save space | 18:11 |
| escott | Bulletrulz, and what kind of webcam do you have? does the webcam work in applications like cheese | 18:11 |
| Penguincsc | tomvolek: Clonezilla | 18:11 |
| MonkeyDust | tomvolek i've not used it myself, but there's clonezilla | 18:11 |
| dijonyummy | anyone use tmux or screen? is there a way to integrate it with the terminal app (say konsole) scrollback? i know you can page back in them, but its not easy to select multiple pages of text, like you can if you use the terminal app scrollback | 18:11 |
| tomvolek | thnaks MonkeyDust | 18:11 |
| Ztane | hmm seems that apt-get install -f is fixing things... | 18:11 |
| choppyfireballs | escott if you google webcam linux it will bring up a package available forinstall with like 1000 webcams in it | 18:11 |
| Bulletrulz | escott yeah it works with gucview | 18:11 |
| dijonyummy | anyone understand this select/copy multiple pages of scrollback issue in tmux or screen and a way to get that to work? | 18:11 |
| Penguincsc | tomvolek: http://clonezilla.org/ | 18:12 |
| escott | Bulletrulz, and what options do you have in skype to select the webcam? | 18:12 |

| llutz | yesko: ah, why didn't you say that? so you have to use a different pptp-client | 18:31 |
| mib_mib | llutz: what does the "$file" do ? | 18:31 |
| jackdjj | Penguincsc: i know, these are 2 desktop managers. I've to choose between gdm and lightdm and i want to choose the lightest. | 18:31 |

| llutz | mib_mib: it holds the filenames read from "for loop" | 18:32 |

| Penguincsc | jackdjj: GDM will mess up your session. Unity uses Lightdm | 18:33 |

| mangdood_ | Penguincsc: yep, except the ecdsa key. I'm trying to get it into the format that the client is recieving so I can compare them though :X | 19:03 |
| Ztane | jrib: maybe I just try to reboot once more | 19:03 |
| thomasd | does everything in the init.d folder get called on boot? | 19:03 |
| jrib | thomasd: no | 19:04 |
| thomasd | jrib how would i set up my computer that it automaticly runs something.sh as someone user | 19:04 |
| mischa_ | Thanks a lot, jrib! :-) | 19:04 |
| thomasd | on boot | 19:04 |
| jrib | thomasd: what does something.sh do? | 19:04 |
| Ztane | jrib: upgrade had crashed and I had to do dpkg --configure -a && apt-get install -f in single user mode | 19:04 |
| thomasd | jrib it's a basic server running on port 1337 | 19:05 |
| Ztane | then installed 1000 packages :D | 19:05 |
| cybersphinx | xangua: Yeah, I guess so. But they get some good fonts when run from gnome-terminal, no way to make them just use those by default? | 19:05 |
| jrib | thomasd: I would just use @reboot in the user's crontab | 19:05 |
| Ztane | thomasd: i would write an upstart conf for it | 19:05 |
| Ztane | if it is supposed to be a service | 19:05 |
| thomasd | jrib What is a users crontab | 19:05 |
| jrib | !cron | thomasd | 19:05 |
| ubottu | thomasd: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto | 19:05 |
| Penguincsc | mangdood_: this is what you are looking for: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/14689/how-do-i-get-ssh-to-prompt-me-with-the-rsa-key-instead-of-the-ecdsa-key | 19:06 |
| xangua | cybersphinx: you mean the 'ubuntu' font¿ just set it in qt4-qtconfig | 19:06 |
| Ztane | thomasd: you want it to be always running ? | 19:06 |
| mangdood_ | Well, I found it. ssh-keygen -lf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub | 19:06 |
| Penguincsc | mangdood_: cool | 19:06 |
| mangdood_ | Penguincsc: yep, thanks, I just found the answer though | 19:07 |
| thomasd | Ztane: that's the idea | 19:07 |
| Ztane | thomasd: then forget cron, write an upstart conf file in /etc/init | 19:07 |
| Ztane | thomasd: if it is your computer to play with :D | 19:07 |
| thomasd | Ztane it's my virtual computer :() | 19:08 |
| mangdood_ | One last question; What's the proper way of setting up the previous configuration on the system after upgrading? I still haven't upgraded my laptop to 12.04... | 19:08 |
| Ztane | but computer enough as in you have root access | 19:08 |
| thomasd | yes | 19:08 |
| thomasd | would i just go 'su - user' then execute the command? | 19:09 |
| jrib | thomasd: crontab would work as well. If you decide to use upstart, make sure you read the upstart documentation on running jobs as different users | 19:09 |
| sc4rf4c3 | hi i have a question: i want to install wine in backtrack 5R2(ubuntu based 64bits) and the "./configure" code gave me this "error: FreeType 32-bit development files not found. Fonts will not be built." | 19:09 |
| wawowe | mangdood_: it doesn't remove your configs when you upgrade so the proper way is to just keep things the way they are unlees there's an issue | 19:09 |
| Penguincsc | hey guys - I am looking for a way to hand out coupons to my customers. I need a unique code to prevent them from re-using the coupon, I was thinking of using UUID somehow. Any ideas? | 19:09 |
| Pici | sc4rf4c3: We do not support backtrack here. Please use their support channel at #backtrack-linux | 19:09 |
| xangua | sc4rf4c3: /join #backtrack-linux or try the wine channel | 19:10 |
| Ztane | jrib: disagree, crontab is not designed for starting services... also he would need to reboot the computer to just try it | 19:10 |
| Ztane | graah, now compiz is crashing on login | 19:10 |
| wawowe | sc4rf4c3: file the freetype-dev package | 19:10 |
| cybersphinx | xangua: I meant whatever font is set as default, so I don't need to change it in several places. But actually the font is changed, just the size still differs a bit. But I guess I can live with that. Thanks. | 19:10 |
| mangdood_ | wawowe: Hm, usually I upgrade from liveCD though, and that seems to wipe my configs. What's the way to upgrade without LiveCD? | 19:10 |
| xangua | mangdood_: with the update manager | 19:11 |
| vfw | mangdood_: alternate cd | 19:11 |
| m90087 | alternate | 19:11 |
| thomasd | jrib are all files in /etc/init executed with shell as root on boot? | 19:11 |
| Ztane | thomasd: no | 19:11 |
| wawowe | mangdood_: either change the sources list and apt-get dist-upgrade or do_dist_upgrade | 19:11 |
| wawowe | mangdood_: not sure about the do_dist_upgrade cmd cuz i don't have it | 19:12 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest89770 | ||
| xangua | wawowe: is it you the guy that skips debian updates¿¿ | 19:12 |
| Ztane | thomasd: they are configuration files for upstart... they contain sections that could be executed in shell | 19:12 |
| Pici | wawowe: NO. Do not suggest changing the sources and doing a dist-upgrade. That WILL break your install. | 19:12 |
| wawowe | xangua: you remember me :p i don't skip updates no | 19:12 |
| wawowe | Pici: no it won't | 19:12 |
| thomasd | Ztane looks like crontab is my best bet | 19:12 |
| jrib | thomasd: read http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ if you want to learn about writing upstart jobs | 19:13 |
| mangdood_ | xangua, wawowe: ooo Thanks. Will I need to do anything special after that? (Will it need to reboot in order to upgrade?) | 19:13 |
| wawowe | Pici: i upgraded to precise that way | 19:13 |
| Pici | wawowe: Then you took a big risk. | 19:13 |
| wawowe | Pici: many times i have | 19:13 |
| xangua | mangdood_: changing the release name in the sources list is a bad idea | 19:13 |
| xangua | wawowe: please stop suggesting that | 19:13 |
| Pici | wawowe: Just because it worked for you doesn't mean that it is the correct way to do it. | 19:13 |
| wawowe | xangua: no | 19:13 |
| mangdood_ | xangua: I plan on doing it the easy way from update manager anyways :D | 19:13 |
| wawowe | Pici: it is the correct way | 19:13 |
| yesko | Penguincsc, pm please? | 19:14 |
| wawowe | Pici: normally have to upgrade apt and dpkg first but it is correct | 19:14 |
| Pici | wawowe: I asssure you, it is not. Nowhere in the ubuntu documentation does it say to do anything like that. | 19:14 |
| * Guest54795 slaps Catalina around a bit with a large trout | 19:14 | |
| wawowe | Pici: ubuntu doc is dumbed down | 19:14 |
| m90087 | my apparmor not working | 19:15 |
| Pici | wawowe: No, it explains the proper way to do your upgrades. There are steps in the upgrade process that cannot be handled only by apt and dpkg. | 19:15 |
| wawowe | Pici: what are they? | 19:16 |
| Ztane | thomasd: upstart would take care of for example respawing your server process after it crashed. cron would do no such thing. It would try to start it once at boot, period. | 19:16 |
| m90087 | sudo ufw enable | 19:17 |

| Raff | someone knows what should I do | 19:18 |
| Ztane | thomasd: basic thing is quite simple however :D | 19:18 |
| Raff | ? | 19:18 |
| wawowe | Pici: i | 19:18 |
| wawowe | Pici: i'll agree that apt is kind of evil if something goes wrong, but dpkg can fix everything | 19:19 |
| thomasd | Ztane: yah i'll just get the basics down and not worry about the advanced stufs | 19:19 |
| Ztane | thomasd: read section 4.1.1.2 | 19:19 |

| Ant__ | ? | 19:20 |
| wawowe | Pici: then again neither of those are the easiest way in ubuntu | 19:20 |
| ThePendulum | this_is_a_un: You could try pressing the windows key + s when touching the bottom right corner with the cursor | 19:20 |
| this_is_a_un | ThePendulum, Wow... Let me rephrase this. Where are the scripts for unity located? | 19:21 |
| Pici | wawowe: Heres a configuration file that that update-manager/do-release-upgrade uses. Just looking through it can give you an idea of what sort of extra tasks those tools do: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016826/ | 19:21 |
| EugeneComputerGe | Hi, Ant_ (who is in this room), has the right side of his panel missing...there is no log off options or notification area. How do you reset the gnome upper panel? (ubuntu 12.04 gnome classic) | 19:21 |
| ThePendulum | this_is_a_un: I'm sorry, hehe, I was trolling. 1 minute, I'll look it up | 19:21 |
| wawowe | mangdood_: do_release_upgrade* is the cmd | 19:21 |
| Ant__ | yep | 19:22 |
| wawowe | Pici: doesn't give much of an idea | 19:23 |

| thomasd | Ztane It says that sometimes the process runs without a PID how is this possable? | 19:23 |
| ThePendulum | this_is_a_un: Is that what you're looking for? | 19:23 |
| wawowe | Pici: has fixes for certain packages | 19:23 |
| Ztane | thomasd: not the process, but the "upstart job" | 19:23 |
| wawowe | Pici: but otherwise it's a normal debian upgrade | 19:23 |
| xangua | this_is_a_un: you can edit mouse actions in the Expo plugin on compiz settings manager | 19:23 |
| this_is_a_un | ThePendulum: Yes, thank you :) | 19:24 |
| mangdood_ | wawowe: I'm thinking that I'm just going to reinstall from LiveUSB since so many things are broken on that computer | 19:24 |
| Ant__ | hmm | 19:24 |
| this_is_a_un | I was expecting to have to edit something, because I had to to get rid of it in gnome3 xD | 19:24 |
| wawowe | mangdood_: if everything is broken and you've got nothing to lose by resintalling than that's the easiest way to get there | 19:24 |
| === Guest55951 is now known as mrk_ | ||
| Ztane | thomasd: yours would be a service job, with pid, and system job, maybe with setgid and setuid to set for the user you want to run the program under... | 19:25 |
| wawowe | mangdood_: if you have the option to not format, you can remove everything except your home and resinstall | 19:26 |
| wawowe | mangdood_: doubt the ubuntu installer has an easy option for that though | 19:26 |
| mangdood_ | wawowe: what if my /home isn't on it's own partition | 19:26 |
| wawowe | mangdood_: as long as you don't format it won't matter | 19:27 |
| wawowe | mangdood_: just remove everything besides /home | 19:27 |
| mangdood_ | wawowe: alright, I'll keep that in mind when I get around to reinstalling | 19:27 |
| wawowe | mangdood_: using a root term or whatever is available | 19:27 |
| Ztane | thomasd: this might be of interest http://geeknme.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/getting-started-with-upstart-in-ubuntu/ and so on | 19:28 |
| mangdood_ | wawowe: hm, so, like, booting from liveCD/USB, and removing all the directories on that partition other than home? | 19:28 |
| wawowe | mangdood_: yes, as long as you have the option to not format during the install | 19:29 |
| mangdood_ | wawowe: In the previous liveCDs, I've had that option, so I should be okay with not formatting | 19:30 |
| Ztane | thomasd: or this one http://blog.joshsoftware.com/2012/02/14/upstart-scripts-in-ubuntu/ the cookbook is almost too complete :D quite far from a cookbook really. | 19:30 |
| thomasd | Ztane are you done throwing loads of information at me :P | 19:30 |
| wawowe | mangdood_: also if you have an encrypted home you need to know the key | 19:31 |
| MaynardWaters | escott: in case you care what appareently happened was I had an SD card in the slot and during the kernel install it was trying to add a grup correction to that device, after removing the sd card everything appears to have updated correctly | 19:31 |
| escott | MaynardWaters, sorry, was on the phone | 19:32 |
| mangdood_ | wawowe: It should be okay, right? as long as ecryptfs is installed, I should be able to use in my login passphrase | 19:32 |
| MaynardWaters | no worries, wasnt really something I expected anyone else to figure out, just happy it is fixed thanks for your time | 19:32 |

| fasta | Where do I get the non-free version of unzip? | 19:34 |
| escott | leeping, are you running as root? are you running lubuntu or xubuntu? | 19:34 |
| leeping | escott, I'm running normal ubuntu, not as root, but I am in a GNU screen session. Outside the screen session, meld loads normally. | 19:34 |
| designbybeck | fasta: use 7Zip | 19:35 |
| escott | leeping, then the screen environment is dropping environment variables (in particular your DBUS socket variable) did you start the screen session outside of an xterm? | 19:35 |
| thomasd | man initctl | 19:35 |
| mangdood_ | wawowe: yep. I'm pretty sure it should be okay though, since all the important stuff related to the encyption is in /home or can be gotten from the repos | 19:35 |
| fasta | designbybeck: p7zip-full? | 19:35 |
| leeping | escott, that is very reasonable. I do have a script that sources the DISPLAY environment variable when I reattach the screen. So I just need to add the DBUS socket variable to that script and it should work | 19:36 |
| leeping | can you tell me the names of the environment variables? | 19:36 |
| designbybeck | hmmm not sure on that one fasta | 19:36 |
| leeping | is it DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS? | 19:36 |
| escott | leeping, it will change every login/boot | 19:36 |
| leeping | escott, are you saying the name of the variable will change, or the value will change? | 19:36 |
| escott | leeping, you might want to create a script you can run in the xterm that will add the contents of the current env to the screen env | 19:36 |
| escott | leeping, the value will change | 19:37 |
| pepee | where can I make a petition for a package? | 19:37 |
| leeping | escott, that's what i plan on doing, as long as i know the name of the variable, i'll put it in the script | 19:37 |
| leeping | do you happen to know the name of the variable offhand? | 19:37 |
| escott | leeping, DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS should be all you need | 19:37 |
| leeping | escott, i'll try that | 19:37 |

| jrib | alecbenzer: I don't know, I run xmonad by itself. Have you checked xmonad's wiki? | 19:40 |
| wawowe | mangdood_: you should be able to get it with the wrapped-passphrase | 19:41 |
| wawowe | mangdood_: but just in case copy that entire directory outside of your home | 19:41 |
| alecbenzer | ah, yeah, there's a page on setting it up with unity 2d: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Unity_2D | 19:42 |

| guntbert | !tab | [snake] please use complete nicks | 20:06 |
| ubottu | [snake] please use complete nicks: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 20:06 |
| dribblingmachine | im not able to edit it | 20:06 |
| maca | For example, setting ports on forward class on iptables... may be... or it isn't necesary.... | 20:06 |
| choppyfireballs | dribble: you need to open your text editor in sudo | 20:06 |
| [snake] | guntbert, I am using the tab key thankyou very much. | 20:06 |
| escott | dribblingmachine, you should be careful using chmod -R because 755 may make sense for a file but not for a folder | 20:06 |
| choppyfireballs | dribble: also try to use vi to change key things | 20:06 |
| escott | dribblingmachine, rather for a folder but not for a file | 20:06 |
| dribblingmachine | escott: then how to change for a entire folder | 20:07 |
| dribblingmachine | ?? | 20:07 |
| guntbert | [snake]: I apologize - my eyes didn't connect to my brain obviously | 20:07 |
| osmosis | any help on getting solarized to work in gnome-terminal? | 20:07 |
| [snake] | guntbert, no problem. | 20:07 |
| iHarp | Escott: It mounts successfully. but when I try to paste something into it it says denied | 20:08 |
| tomasm- | hi, does ubuntu (latest version) support powerpc architectures? and if so, is it stable or are there any pitfalls? | 20:08 |
| mouse | I'm using xdotool to simulate key presses but when I press the hotkey there's a slight window change for an instant and the keypress isn't passed on to the active window when I press the hotkey. Is there a way to put a slight delay in so that the keypress will be passed on to the active window? Or does anyone know a better method? | 20:08 |
| escott | dribblingmachine, the first question is why do you need to change the folders permissions. you should have first changed the users group membership. but if you do have to use chmod it would be better to use the +/- syntax or use find to distinguish between files and folders | 20:08 |
| escott | iHarp, i want to see the output of mount | 20:08 |
| iHarp | gotcha one sec | 20:08 |
| dribblingmachine | escott: okay. maybe im going entirely wrong on this thing | 20:09 |
| dribblingmachine | escott: ty | 20:09 |
| dribblingmachine | escott: i'll change to group, don't know how . gonna try | 20:10 |
| iHarp | escott: It doesn't print anything. Just goes to the next username@Hostname input line | 20:10 |
| reisio | mouse: xdotool can probably use another param for that | 20:10 |
| escott | iHarp, "mount" prints out NOTHING? | 20:10 |
| reisio | mouse: I know xautomation has a place for a delay | 20:10 |
| reisio | tomasm-: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 20:11 |
| iHarp | escott: ok. one sec. Ill give you a pastebin | 20:11 |
| tomasm- | reisio, thanks | 20:12 |
| danny_ | Hello | 20:12 |
| [snake] | danny_, hello! | 20:12 |
| danny_ | [snake]: Hi snake | 20:13 |
| TimRiker | ahh. not an apparmor issue. 5.5.3 changes default-character-set to character-set-server .. /me hates arbitrary renaming | 20:13 |
| mouse | reisio, I've searched all through the man pages and there doesn't seem to be any entry for delays. You know what I'm talking about right? Where the window focus changes for a slight second during the program launch? | 20:13 |
| danny_ | What would be the best way to make a startup script using this command "sudo echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch" | 20:13 |
| shurikrulik | hi men , pls help me i nstalled apache2 mysql php but php dont executes | 20:13 |
| [snake] | danny_, you already said a greeting! There's no need for another one. :P | 20:13 |
| maca | I have a doubt: If a program of windows was infected, and run on wine, it can affect to Linux?? | 20:14 |
| danny_ | [snake]: haha I thought you needed a special one | 20:14 |
| TimRiker | dannel, that won't do what you want | 20:14 |
| TimRiker | er danny_ | 20:14 |
| dannel | TimeRider, I am sorry for suggesting it :( | 20:14 |
| [snake] | TimRiker, what if you don't know what he wants. | 20:14 |
| [snake] | :P | 20:14 |
| iHarp | Escott: did you get my link? | 20:14 |
| TimRiker | danny_, "sudo echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch" will echo OFF as root, but try to redirect output as the current user. | 20:15 |
| danny_ | TimRiker: It does what I want, i want to shut off my ATI card | 20:15 |
| [snake] | danny_, perhaps doing it as root is not the best idea. | 20:15 |
| escott | maca, it is possible to make viruses run in wine, and they can do everything that the unix permissions would allow them to do. so they could access your files and perhaps send them to some remote server, but since they don't understand unix and wont realize they are running in wine the damage should be minimal as they will only read the wine fake folders | 20:15 |
| TimRiker | danny_, I'd suggest "echo OFF|sudo dd of=/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch" instead | 20:15 |
| danny_ | [snake]: that makes perfect sense, well I am new to Linux | 20:15 |
| escott | iHarp, generally best to put things in channel instead of pm'ing so that others can look at them | 20:16 |
| iHarp | gotcha | 20:16 |
| ramtest | hi | 20:16 |
| escott | iHarp, /media/Backup Resources is the problem? | 20:16 |
| nyuszika7h | Anyone else experiencing this problem? | 20:16 |
| nyuszika7h | W: Failed to fetch http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/filelight/filelight_4.8.2-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb | 20:16 |
| nyuszika7h | 403 Forbidden | 20:16 |
| maca | Thanks, escott | 20:16 |
| danny_ | TimRiker: Would making this a .exe and running it at boot work with the command you told me? | 20:16 |
| [snake] | danny_, ok, that's fine, do what TimRiker said. I think gnome comes with a Startup Applications program. Try entering the command there. | 20:16 |
| reisio | mouse: uhhhh maybe? | 20:16 |
| Dayofswords | I have a question, does anyone know where firefox defualt config are stored for new users, like a file i can edit to change the home page for new users's firefox | 20:17 |
| guntbert | nyuszika7h: what happens if you use a different server? | 20:17 |
| danny_ | [snake]: perfect let me try it and reboot | 20:17 |
| nyuszika7h | guntbert: And how would I do that? | 20:17 |
| reisio | mouse: man xdotool, /sleep | 20:17 |
| guntbert | nyuszika7h: GUI or CLI? | 20:17 |
| reisio | Dayofswords: dpkg -L firefox | 20:17 |
| TimRiker | danny_, /etc/rc.local might be a better place for it. that already runs as root so just a line with "echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch" | 20:18 |
| nyuszika7h | guntbert: I installed from Synaptic, but CLI works for me, too | 20:18 |
| maca | I'm not very sure, I think that the configuration of firefox are in your ./home directory, the config file. I don't know | 20:18 |
| iHarp | Escott: That is my Windows backup resources. What should I do with it to fix my little problem? | 20:18 |
| escott | iHarp, i think all you need to do is "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g" and then umount/mount that folder | 20:18 |
| danny_ | TimRiker: All I would do is put that command line right above exit 0 and it should work? | 20:18 |
| ramtest | i've got many line like this "*BAD*gran_size: 4M chunk_size: 256M num_reg: 8 lose cover RAM: -64M" in my syslog. What is that? I think it has something to do with the RAM but i tested the ram creating a ramdisk and filling it with files and sha256sum them to check and ram seems working good. So what does those "*BAD*gran_size" lines mean ? | 20:18 |
| iHarp | ok. on it. thnx | 20:18 |
| TimRiker | danny_, should do, yes. | 20:19 |
| guntbert | nyuszika7h: in synaptic, select settings/software sources, there select a different server to "download from", don't forget to refresh afterwards | 20:20 |
| Anthony | hello i need help i have gnomeclassic the gnome-panel is not showing up right corner | 20:23 |
| TimRiker | ramtest, google shows potential mtrr issues. I'm not sure what the fix would be though. | 20:23 |
| iHarp | escott: Also, now when I plug in my thumb drive, it doesn't show up in my short cuts to media. However, it does show up in Gparted -- and can be manipulated. | 20:23 |
| Anthony | ubuntu 12.4 | 20:23 |
| nyuszika7h | guntbert: Thanks very much :) Switching to main server solved the issue. | 20:23 |
| escott | iHarp, did you put any entries in /etc/fstab? | 20:24 |
| TimRiker | Anthony, no panel at all? or just the menu missing from the panel? | 20:24 |
| [snake] | Anthony, you mean like GNOME 3 Fallback mode, or MATE desktop? | 20:24 |
| japro | yay, ubuntu install disk just instantly kernel panics | 20:24 |
| Anthony | i have the applications places to right everthing to left gone | 20:24 |
| [snake] | japro, that's good. | 20:24 |

| japro | unable to mount root fs on uknown-block(0,0) | 20:24 |
| escott | iHarp, then run "udisks --mount /dev/sda1" | 20:24 |
| escott | japro, cd or usb? | 20:25 |
| TimRiker | [snake], I presume he means gnome-session-fallback | 20:25 |
| guntbert | nyuszika7h: you're welcome :-) , you might want to use one closer to your location, if you are in hu you could try ubuntu.inode.at too - near and fast :-) | 20:25 |
| Anthony | i guess. | 20:25 |
| ramtest | TimRiker: thanks. Do you thinks this is a dangerous error? | 20:25 |
| iHarp | escott, Mount failed: Daemon is inhibited | 20:25 |

| GorDo | Whould anyone like to walkthrough me with partitioning my HDD, im installing 12.04 with CD. And i want to partition my 500GB hdd into two partitions. One for ubuntu, and the other just for files as a storage. pm? | 20:28 |
| escott | !checksums | japro | 20:28 |
| escott | one of these is supposed to have a link to the actual sums | 20:28 |
| TimRiker | Anthony, I installed indicator-applet-complete and then added that to my panel | 20:28 |

| GorDo | no using ubuntu | 20:29 |
| Galvatron | GorDo: Use Gparted LiveCD/LiveUSB | 20:29 |
| ananya_ | Hello, I am installing inkscape in Debian and encounter inconsistencies. The recommended solution is at http://pastebin.com/KZg9hgSV. Can someone tell me if this recommended solution is a good one? | 20:29 |
| rodd | anyone with 12.04 and latest updates that uses netbeans is able to run it without constant crashes? | 20:29 |
| Galvatron | GorDo:: The partitioning tool in Ubuntu installer also is Gparted, but with a horrible interface. | 20:29 |
| myhero | how to download driver and not only just install it but save it locally also so that if needed it can be used to install again locally or install on other machine ? | 20:29 |
| GorDo | im doing it through the installer | 20:30 |
| DasEi | GorDo: if you use the alternate installer, it let's you have finer grained possibilities, though such setup can be done with gparted from desktop-cd either | 20:30 |
| escott | Galvatron, you can get normal gparted if you just select "try ubuntu" instead of "install ubuntu" | 20:30 |
| reisio | myhero: they're all saved locally unless you clean them out | 20:30 |
| myhero | reisio: how to make their backup ? | 20:30 |
| Galvatron | escott: Is it installed by default in 12.04? | 20:30 |
| DasEi | escott: gord.. ?! | 20:30 |
| reisio | myhero: ls /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 20:30 |
| escott | Galvatron, its not installed but its on the livecd | 20:30 |
| DasEi | ah, no, sorry, escott | 20:31 |
| myhero | reisio: i wanna download broadcom sta wi-fi linux driver and make its backuo also so that i can use it and install again when needed...!!! | 20:31 |
| Galvatron | GorDo: CAUTION! Gparted DOESN'T ask to confirm a partition deleting, co be careful when oparating on a non-empty HDD | 20:31 |
| reisio | myhero: naturally | 20:32 |
| DasEi | GorDo: if you give me a minute, I'll fire up a live in my vm, so can assist you simultanously, just few minutes | 20:32 |
| GorDo | Galvatron, my hdd is empty anyway atm | 20:32 |
| GorDo | DasEi, that would be perfect | 20:33 |

| reisio | myhero: you could download things manually, I guess, if you like wasting your own time | 20:36 |
| reisio | japro: as in doesn't match checksum? | 20:36 |
| japro | yes | 20:36 |
| harperx | escott: I still can't paste to my thumb drive. or anything else for that matter. | 20:36 |
| japro | downloading a third time | 20:36 |
| escott | harperx, what is the /dev/sda1 line of "mount" | 20:36 |
| DasEi | japro: use a torrent, it auto re-checks | 20:36 |
| guntbert | japro: use a torrent | 20:36 |
| guntbert | DasEi: :) | 20:37 |
| Harris | has anybody read little brother | 20:37 |
| DasEi | hehe | 20:37 |
| escott | japro, is the checksum failure the downloaded iso or the burned on? | 20:37 |

| Harris | well in the book winston makes another password for his user account and the second password opens half of the other | 20:38 |
| Galvatron | GorDo: Regarding space, more than 8-10GB ext4 for the system itself is a complete waste, as it doesn't usually take more than 3-4GB. You don't need SWAP (linux-swap), unless you have less than 1280MB of RAM, and/or plan to hibernation. | 20:38 |

| escott | harperx, ok and what is the relevant line of "mount" now | 20:45 |
| japro | with a # in front of it it should result in a error from the preprocessor | 20:45 |
| reisio | Harris: not entirely sure lightdm supports that out of the box yet | 20:46 |

| DasEi | [snake]: # is a comment, no command/expression, ignored by the compiler | 20:46 |
| maca | On Nautilus, on menu, there are a option: view hidden files. Someone knows how to acces the code to put in that line as a comment (#), in /etc/ ? | 20:46 |
| reisio | Harris: the display (or login) manager | 20:46 |
| [snake] | DasEi, just next time instead of saying only "#bash" like you did initially you should use a full sentence. | 20:46 |
| harperx | escott, it still reads hfsplus, but it is definately fat32 | 20:46 |
| japro | so "typedef int myint;" makes myint a usable type that is an alias for int essentially | 20:46 |
| Harris | ok | 20:47 |
| escott | harperx, how did you reformat it? | 20:47 |
| japro | DasEi, not in C/C++ | 20:47 |

| harperx | escott, through Gparted. | 20:47 |
| harperx | escott, I finalized the action as well | 20:47 |
| [snake] | DasEi, I know now lol, it was just a misunderstanding from your initial message. | 20:47 |

| OerHeks | Harris, so wait for the bugfix | 20:49 |

| [snake] | japro, so, instead of long double, if I typedef it with ldouble then I can use it sort of how #define replaces bits when you use the term you defined. | 20:49 |
| harperx | escott: by right clicking the volume. it said successfully unmounted.. then reversed the process. However.. looking at it now.. "mount" gives the volume the title sdd2 and Gparted says sda1 | 20:49 |
| japro | DasEi, i happen to have a stack of cds lying around that i'm never using anyway... :D | 20:49 |
| japro | but no usb drive i want to wipe atm | 20:50 |
| DasEi | kk | 20:50 |
| escott | harperx, those are different devices. if you've been reformatting sda1 then you have been reformatting a partition on your hard disk not the usb | 20:50 |

| Aster | So, I'm having a mouse pointer problem. When I click on the icon on the top right (to access the menu), or when I click on the sound icon, everything disappears. The system menu/icon only stays at long as I am holding the mouse button, and when I try to mark a program as executable, the checkbox only stays checked for about a second. | 20:50 |
| Aster | Ubuntu 11.10 | 20:51 |
| japro | [snake], kinda, except typedef is "better" in the sense that it is not a preprocessor thing | 20:51 |
| teskew | is there any way to run a command through dash alt+F2 that will run inside of a terminal window..for instance. alt+f2 and then sudo apt-get install foo ? instead of firing up a terminal window and then typing it? | 20:51 |
| [snake] | japro, OKAY I see... thanks | 20:51 |
| Beatstreet | zanberdo - you lurking? | 20:51 |
| [snake] | Aster, what bits are you using? 32 bit or 64 bit? | 20:52 |
| zykotick9 | Aster: re: executable checkbox - if the file is on FAT or NTFS you can't use POSIX permissions on it | 20:52 |
| harperx | escott, I'm not seeing sda1 in "mount" let me try reset && Clear. going to make sure I'm not missing it | 20:52 |
| Aster | [snake], 64 | 20:53 |
| escott | harperx, i think you are just confused and have been repartitioning the wrong disk | 20:53 |
| Aster | zykotick9, that might explain, how to I execute the file then? | 20:53 |
| Yago_ | hi | 20:53 |
| === Yago_ is now known as Yagi | ||
| zykotick9 | Aster: ? that's for someone else to help you with. | 20:53 |
| [snake] | Aster, I had problems with 64 bit with anything above 10.10 as well... so I gave up and I'm using 10.04 | 20:53 |

| OerHeks | Harris please keep Questions in this channel, thank you. | 20:54 |
| DasEi | !info screen | 20:54 |
| escott | Aster, if you want to execute files on ntfs you would need to change your /etc/fstab to remove noexec (which is implied by users) and to change the default permissions to 755 instead of 644 | 20:54 |

| Harris | OerHeks, it is the Same question but the flood bot will mute me | 20:54 |
| harperx | escott, I didn't I have to select on two different windows. one for the thumb and one for the partition on the hard drive. I accidentally gave you sdd2 because in all of this I was reformatting my my windows partition.. both named ?Untitled". | 20:54 |
| Harris | just look this once | 20:55 |
| DasEi | teskew: the former will put the command in background | 20:55 |
| Harris | this is from the book | 20:55 |
| Harris | <Harris> "The password," I said, finally understanding what she wanted of me. She wanted me to say it out loud, here, | 20:55 |

| Harris | <Harris> wanted me to submit to her. To put her in charge of me. To give up every secret, all my privacy. "The | 20:55 |

| harperx | escott, I can confirm i reformatted the thumb to fat32. and that it is not showing up in "mount" | 20:55 |
| zykotick9 | [snake]: i know, i just don't help with MS issues. so my reply was correct. | 20:55 |
| xbb | Hello. Has anybody been successful adding external merge tool like meld to subversion? I followed different suggestions but still getting dreaded "The external merge tool exited with exit code 255" error | 20:55 |
| escott | harperx, then what is the "mount" line for the thumb drive? | 20:55 |
| Aster | escott, how do I do that? | 20:56 |
| escott | !fstab | Aster | 20:56 |
| ubottu | Aster: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 20:56 |
| [snake] | zykotick9, is he asking about an MS issue or did you assume he was? | 20:56 |
| Harris | OerHeks, i posted above | 20:56 |
| zykotick9 | [snake]: i has FAT/NTFS explained it - so it's an MS issue (in my opinion). | 20:56 |
| DasEi | teskew: what exactly you want to achive ? also can write to /dev/nul or simply turn the the echo off | 20:56 |
| harperx | escott, what is the command for the thumbs "mount"? | 20:56 |
| escott | harperx, yes | 20:56 |
| [snake] | zykotick9, you're difficult. his question doesn't say anythin about fat... | 20:57 |
| LinuX2half | Hihhhi | 20:57 |
| [snake] | Aster, the guy that answered assumed you were running an executable from a FAT or NTFS sysmte. if you can access a terminal do chmod +x /path/to/file/filename | 20:57 |
| LinuX2half | Rhythmbox is unable to display the correct character encoding. what should I do? | 20:57 |
| harperx | mount ? | 20:57 |
| zykotick9 | !coc > [snake] | 20:57 |
| ubottu | [snake], please see my private message | 20:57 |

| [snake] | zykotick9, I'm sorry. | 20:58 |
| LinuX2half | It can display correct Korean characters but not anything other languages. | 20:58 |
| harperx | escott, Is the command different for the thumb drive? I'm only typing "mount" | 20:58 |
| juniour | hi | 20:59 |
| escott | harperx, "mount" lists all mounted devices, mountpoints, filesystem types, and options | 20:59 |
| DasEi | harperx: no, but maybe thumb isn't mounted then ?! | 20:59 |
| Yago | Hello, can osmeone help me? | 20:59 |
| Aster | [snake], but the file is on another hard drive. | 20:59 |

| [snake] | Aster, that would've been valuable information to provide in the question. Is the hdd that you're file is on using NTFS or FAT? | 21:00 |
| Yago | thank-you | 21:00 |
| Yago | ok | 21:00 |
| escott | DasEi, i'm not even sure harperx is clear one what device his thumb drive is | 21:00 |

| reisio | Yago: no not anyone, but some persons, certainly | 21:02 |
| DasEi | !java | Yago | 21:02 |
| ubottu | Yago: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 21:02 |
| harperx | DasEi: I changed the sdb1 to sda1 and I got : mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/usb': File exists | 21:02 |
| harris_ | OerHeks, how do i do what he did | 21:02 |
| DasEi | Yago: java -jar filename.jar | 21:02 |
| Yago | DasEi: I know about all of that | 21:03 |
| harperx | your info gave me: mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist | 21:03 |
| Brustofski-Fan | apt-get purge package-name .. uninstalls everything the package installed right? | 21:03 |
| Aster | [snake], any idea? | 21:03 |
| Yago | but is there a way just to double click it? | 21:03 |
| DasEi | harperx: sure usb is sda1 ? well use any other dirname then | 21:03 |
| Yago | DOuble clikc a jar, or open with.... | 21:03 |
| DasEi | harperx: if so : sudo mkdir /media/usb1 && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb1 && cd /media/usb1 && ls | 21:03 |

| goddard | whats the wine channel? | 21:07 |

| DasEi | japro: well, tmp in tmpfs as var and some other minors, the system on the ssd and /home and other storage on the hdd | 21:14 |
| juniour | ha | 21:15 |

| iToast | juniour: if your on a desktop its already runnking | 21:15 |
| harperx | escott, ok | 21:15 |

| escott | n-iCe, have you installed 7zip? does file-roller even understand 7zip? | 21:16 |
| Aster | :/ | 21:16 |
| DasEi | japro: there are some very small system dirs with temporary contents that freak out nands easily, quite small so can have them in a ramdisk rather | 21:16 |
| harperx | fdisk | 21:16 |
| tomatto_ | hello | 21:17 |
| escott | n-iCe, if you ran some kind of 7zip specific program and got that error it might have been corrupted | 21:17 |

| japro | so as far as the install is concerned i put / on ssd and /home + swap on hdd | 21:17 |
| n-iCe | escott: p7zip-full is already the newest version. | 21:17 |
| tomatto_ | please, how can i install 32bit deb package into 64bit system? | 21:17 |

| L3top | iToast: Lucid is not a problem for MOST hw out there. is this a realtek 8111, 8168B or 8176? | 22:25 |

| L3top | what is the hardware iToast? | 22:26 |
| iToast | lauratika: I know. | 22:26 |
| iToast | L3top: its a realtake but I forgot the model number | 22:26 |
| lauratika | is chrome as versatile as chrome? | 22:26 |

| L3top | iToast: if you can, please lspci | grep -i ethernet | 22:26 |
| iToast | its a 8110SC | 22:26 |
| zykotick9 | lauratika: chromium gets features (except spying) before chrome actually... | 22:27 |
| zykotick9 | lauratika: chrome is based off of chromium source | 22:27 |
| iToast | Realtek RTL8110SC v1.73c. | 22:27 |
| wawowe | lauratika: chrome is chromium source | 22:27 |
| mmr | so, how do i turn off the 'holding' when moving the mouse cursor from one display to another? | 22:28 |
| lauratika | zykitick9 thanx! for the info | 22:28 |
| Jordan_U | iToast: Is the machine connected to the internet via ethernet? | 22:28 |
| iToast | mmr: unity setings. | 22:28 |
| iToast | mmr: turn off stick | 22:28 |
| zykotick9 | !tab | lauratika one more ;) | 22:28 |
| ubottu | lauratika one more ;): You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 22:28 |
| iToast | Jordan_U: yes, who the hell does this over wifi?! | 22:28 |
| mmr | iToast: what is the name of the program to change this settings? | 22:28 |
| lauratika | can i use freenode with ubuntu chat application? | 22:28 |
| Jordan_U | iToast: Please watch your language and attitude. | 22:29 |
| iToast | mmr: look under the settings panel. | 22:29 |
| zykotick9 | lauratika: you are on freenode now... | 22:29 |
| iToast | Jordan_U: Sorry, but seriously thats not attitude | 22:29 |
| DasEi | lauratika: yes | 22:29 |
| iToast | Also, who would download a full ubuntu install on wifi... | 22:29 |
| L3top | I would not expect that iToast this hw should not be a problem for lucid. At installer you have no connectivity, is this correct? | 22:29 |
| DasEi | !messengers | lauratika | 22:29 |
| L3top | can you possibly boot TO the installer so we can run some commands iToast? | 22:29 |
| iToast | L3top: Yes, its failing to connect only with the minimal installer | 22:29 |
| lauratika | zykotick9: yes but im using operas chat,but seems im moving out as facebook want to buy it so looking for alternatives | 22:29 |
| iToast | The full installer fails trying to force me to mount a non existent cd-rom. | 22:30 |
| DasEi | !irc | lauratika | 22:30 |
| ubottu | lauratika: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 22:30 |
| L3top | iToast: the minimal installer is probably not the way to go frankly. Minimal requires MOST of its sw to be downloaded | 22:30 |
| bubulle | Hello, please what is causing IPv6 autoconf privacy extention to generate 7 IPv6 ULA for eth0 here? http://pastie.org/private/6e2tqcouk07flvdq3kztzg | 22:30 |
| iToast | its a well known problem with server 10.4 | 22:30 |
| L3top | !minimal | iToast | 22:30 |
| ubottu | iToast: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 22:30 |
| zykotick9 | lauratika: i'd recommend using an IRC client for IRC channels... but that's perhaps just me | 22:30 |
| iToast | L3top: That was the point. | 22:30 |
| mmr | iToast: found it | 22:30 |
| iToast | mmr: :P | 22:30 |
| lauratika | why i cant highlight names on yellow as you do with mine? | 22:30 |
| mmr | iToast: display > sticky edges. ty | 22:30 |
| L3top | iToast: that is not the way to get MOST compatability, but least | 22:30 |
| iToast | L3top: its not about compatabillity.... | 22:31 |
| zykotick9 | lauratika: include the NIC of the person you are talking to | 22:31 |
| L3top | iToast: if it is about hw not working... it is absolutely about compatability... by definition | 22:31 |
| Jordan_U | L3top: Using the netboot image gets around the fact that the server installer doesn't work properly when booting from USB. | 22:31 |
| iToast | The problem was ubuntu 10l.4's installer FAILS to understand people are booting off of usb's and can't mount the non existent cd-rom so it asks us to load a cd-rom driver. | 22:31 |
| reisio | lauratika: usually you only get highlights on msgs including your nick, not messages including others | 22:31 |
| iToast | So we can select a place to load it from! | 22:31 |
| lauratika | zykotick9: | 22:32 |
| zykotick9 | lauratika: that worked on my side | 22:32 |
| iToast | I tried telling it to load from /dev/sdb but it didnt wan't to. | 22:32 |
| bdfoster | So, i just did a clean install of 12.04, rebooted, logged in, and BOOM! mouse on a black background. | 22:32 |
| lauratika | reisio: thanx a lot | 22:32 |
| lauratika | zykotick9: thanx | 22:32 |
| * L3top doesn't understand Jordan_U's message. | 22:32 | |
| iToast | bdfoster: tried unity 2d? | 22:32 |
| bdfoster | i've got no clue as to how to enable that | 22:32 |
| reisio | others'* | 22:32 |
| lauratika | so you rekon chromium upon firefox? | 22:33 |
| iToast | L3top: The hardware is working... | 22:33 |
| DasEi | !best || | 22:33 |
| ubottu | |: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 22:33 |
| iToast | lauratika: browser's are chosen out of preferejnce, try them all and use the one you like. | 22:33 |
| L3top | iToast: if the ethernet adapter is working, can we back up and explain the problem please | 22:33 |
| reisio | bdfoster: might want to check your graphics drivers | 22:33 |
| Jordan_U | L3top: Long story short, do to the way it's implemented the netboot image works with Unetbootin even when the normal server install image doesn't (there is a reason it's called uNETBOOTin). | 22:33 |
| zykotick9 | lauratika: if you want to help Google then use chromium, if you want to help the internet use firefox ;) | 22:33 |
| reisio | bdfoster: what's the device? nvidia? intel? | 22:33 |
| bdfoster | nvidia | 22:33 |
| iToast | L3top: I explained it already | 22:33 |
| iToast | Its a well known problem with the 10.4 server installer. | 22:33 |
| ironhalik | ok, so I started installing amnesia via software center, and now the launcher popped out, and wont hide back | 22:33 |
| iToast | IT wants a cd-rom mounted but it doesnt have one! | 22:34 |
| iToast | it refuses to load its drivers and software from the usb as it thinks it's a cdrom. | 22:34 |
| pezzy | can i get some help asap | 22:34 |
| iToast | pezzy: wait Like I did.... | 22:34 |
| bdfoster | reisio, it's an hp dv6436nr, probably a fairly well supported nvidia GPU | 22:34 |
| pezzy | k | 22:34 |
| lauratika | zykotick9: i been using opera for a looong time and its so hard to move to firefox i may need group support sesssions for the move :( :o :D | 22:34 |
| iToast | lauratika: No. | 22:34 |
| iToast | Just use opera for linux. | 22:34 |
| reisio | bdfoster: can you CTRL+ALT+F2? | 22:34 |
| DasEi | lauratika: also fine, add a repo and stick there, why not | 22:35 |
| zykotick9 | lauratika: opera is even worse then chromium... non-free software | 22:35 |
| lauratika | zykotick9: but i hear you... | 22:35 |
| bdfoster | reisio, lemme check | 22:35 |
| L3top | iToast: I build 1004 installers. It is sort of my thing on our project. My installer has never failed to run on anything. I refuse to accept that it is a "known problem" as I build them from scratch, and understand the process fairly intimately with thousands of users. Please... again... I understand you are frustrated... but I am trying to help you... you aren't making me want to. | 22:35 |
| reisio | bdfoster: if you can, run 'lsmod | grep -i nvidia' and see if you get anything | 22:35 |
| iToast | L3top: Me and others have had this problem. | 22:36 |
| zykotick9 | lauratika: i'm not the biggest firefox fan, but i use it and uzbl and elinks2 - depending on situtation | 22:36 |
| lauratika | iToast: im moving as soon as facebook buys it | 22:36 |
| iToast | Don't be blind and act like it doesent exist because your synthetic enviroment didnt cause a problem. | 22:36 |
| bubulle | Please, Is someone here quite literate with IPv6 and tell me if it is a known autoconf bug or an issue with my RAs http://pastie.org/private/6e2tqcouk07flvdq3kztzg | 22:36 |
| iToast | Work with real hardware that the average person won't see and try and crash your insaller, also test usb booting on am64. | 22:36 |
| lauratika | zykotick9: this is not an opera channel but you can judge a software by it's open source always.opera is a full suite more than a browser and i've been using it way before firefox even came out | 22:36 |
| L3top | That does not give you cause to take attitude with me iToast. I am sure I can help you figure out what the issue is... but... I will not be spoken to as if I owe you something. Is this understood? | 22:37 |
| pezzy | is it possible to get spyware on buntu? | 22:37 |
| L3top | !attitude | iToast | 22:37 |
| ubottu | iToast: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 22:37 |
| iToast | L3top: What attitude?! I've repeated this many times to you. | 22:37 |
| iToast | You keep asking for different things and tleling me things like compatibility when this has worked in the past. | 22:37 |

| iToast | Others have had this problem L3top, why don't you look at it. | 22:38 |
| Jordan_U | L3top: iToast: It's possible that the problem is that there is a problem with the drivers for your USB controller. The netboot image would also work around this, but as you know we're having problems there too. | 22:38 |
| iToast | Jordan_U: not the usb controller. | 22:38 |

| jrib | quickrot: are you following the directions there? | 22:53 |
| L3top | iToast: you are using the minimal installer. You know the solution is to do what I told you, and use the full installer which has more support... yet you do not wish to "waste your time"... just ours. | 22:53 |
| iToast | L3top: I used the full isntaller and got the problem. | 22:53 |
| iToast | L3top: I explained that a few times and you insisted its my hardware not being supported. | 22:54 |
| jrib | iToast: there should be a bug open about that. I recall someone else asking this and we ended up finding a bug report and forum thread with a workaround | 22:54 |
| psusi | L3top, the minimal installer is the server/alternate installer... just without the benefit of the packages already on the cd... this happens with the full server installer too | 22:54 |
| quickrot | jrib, well i have no problem with the encrypted partition i'm booting.. those r setup and work fine. I have a different USB stick with an encrypted home partition and I just cant mount it... | 22:54 |

| iToast | DasEi: what tea do you drink. | 23:01 |
| psusi | iToast, did you say this used to work in 10.04? or that's just the first release you ran into this? | 23:01 |
| iToast | psusi: you have any success? I had this problem and had a solution but its not working. | 23:01 |
| iToast | psusi: I got it to install in the past using /dev/sdb | 23:02 |
| iToast | im not sure why its not working now | 23:02 |
| psusi | iToast, had a solution? nope, all of my attempts to boot a qemu vm from usb fail with the alternate installer... desktop works fine though | 23:02 |
| iToast | psusi: try ubuntu server amd64 | 23:02 |
| iToast | 10.4 | 23:02 |
| psusi | I don't happen to have that iso handy | 23:03 |
| psusi | have 10.04 dvd though... guess I'll give that a shot | 23:03 |
| === Afterraff` is now known as Afteraffekt | ||
| psusi | now that I think about it, I guess I've always done my server installs from a cd as my server can't boot from usb... | 23:05 |

| Jonii | Okay, now for a tough question: Why on Earth there's no hint whatsoever when you install ubuntu that you can use mouse gestures? I mean, none whatsoever | 23:06 |
| Jonii | Because those are like the coolest thing ever, ever. | 23:07 |
| Jonii | Ever | 23:07 |
| L3top | psusi: For the record, I build 32 bit 1004 iso's from a dd image built from a debootstrapped image with our platform preinstalled. However these images are built from 32 bit server installed from USB. No equipment issues on any of my stuff or any of my testers equip. Perhaps it is limited to a 64 bit issue... I am unsure of what you are attempting to install. These images at the iso stage can be written from any OS on unetbootin or | 23:07 |
| L3top | Startup Disk Creator, without issue. | 23:07 |
| psusi | 10.04 dvd also fails to find usb | 23:07 |
| psusi | L3top, "1004 iso"? | 23:08 |
| Jonii | scratch that mouse gesture thing, I mean, gestures, with touchpad | 23:08 |
| L3top | a 1004 iso is produced by the process which has multiple stages. | 23:08 |
| L3top | 32 bit | 23:08 |
| DasEi | Jonii: http://tinyurl.com/cyce95y | 23:08 |
| L3top | various people build at various stages. | 23:08 |
| iToast | ... | 23:09 |
| psusi | L3top, so far every alternate or server iso I have fed to the startup disk creator to put on my usb stick has failed to find the cdrom when booted in qemu | 23:09 |
| haxxpop | What is the difference between Linux kernel and Ubuntu OS? | 23:09 |
| iToast | psusi: I told you he'd ignore that problem. | 23:09 |
| iToast | psusi: Try /dev/sdb /1 /2 | 23:09 |
| DasEi | Jonii: since hardy or earlier | 23:09 |
| L3top | Specific code frankly has to be written to allow the startup disk creator to work. | 23:09 |
| iToast | Keep going until you find the sdb* that lets it go :p | 23:09 |
| Jonii | DasEi: I think this is newer https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch | 23:09 |
| L3top | however unetbootin works with or without that code | 23:09 |
| iToast | has anyone seen a keyboard without a ms logo? other then apple ones. | 23:10 |
| psusi | iToast, what do you mean? the alternate installer doesn't seem to have a way to manually direct it to the cdrom | 23:10 |
| L3top | I can try and reproduce the problem if you would tell me the specific hw and version you are using psusi | 23:10 |
| iToast | psusi: its not the alterate that has the problem... its the full installer like i told L3top but he ignored me. | 23:10 |
| psusi | L3top, no hardware... qemu vm | 23:10 |
| L3top | If I can reproduce the problem, I can probably fix it, and if it is an issue I can likely subimt a patch. | 23:11 |
| psusi | iToast, it's debian-installer, aka the alternate installer, aka text mode installer... used by server and alternate and minimal isos... everything but desktop | 23:11 |
| iToast | psusi: wow, he listensto you... | 23:11 |
| L3top | psusi: which version(s) are you having the issiue on. | 23:11 |
| psusi | iToast, these comments are not helpful | 23:11 |
| iToast | psusi: when it goes to get a cdrom, don't let it auto find. | 23:11 |
| psusi | L3top, all non desktop isos from 10.04 to 12.04 | 23:12 |
| iToast | Tell it nto to search removeable media then specify the directory yourself. | 23:12 |

| steve__ | TY iToast | 23:12 |
| iToast | steve__: Np | 23:12 |
| psusi | L3top, hrm... I may have only tested 64 bit so far... let me find a 32 bit iso | 23:12 |
| iToast | steve__: if you'd like to talk about search engines ping me :P | 23:12 |
| L3top | psusi: this may be the source of my confusion... we deal ONLY with 32 bit | 23:13 |
| wilee-nilee | halakar, I would use a pre-formatted NTFS to avoid the windows boot partition, use gparted to make it. | 23:13 |
| L3top | and I have never had an issue with any install, vm or hw | 23:13 |
| DasEi | halakar: delete the files, either have an additional partition or resize ( and alter fstab accordingly) to integrate the free space | 23:13 |
| iToast | psusi: Can you tell him to un-ignore me and I can explain the whole problem in seconds. | 23:13 |
| psusi | iToast, don't worry about it | 23:14 |
| Loshki | halakar: make a backup first just in case it 'all goes horribly wrong....' | 23:14 |
| iToast | psusi: Its the AMD64 image. | 23:14 |

| OfficeITGuy150 | Hey #ubuntu, can someone help me with a simple networking issue? I have a computer that has difficulty changing from one wired network to another. If you reboot it works fine. What's the command to reboot networking and make the machine recognize it's plugged into a new network? | 23:14 |
| invisiblek | any ideas why i would be getting terrible write speeds (~5mb or slower, usually slower) on a disk-to-disk file copy? i've tried dd'ing a 2gb file from /dev/zero to each and get respectable speeds (60mb/s on the single driver, 240mb/s on the raid) | 23:14 |
| invisiblek | drive* | 23:15 |
| OfficeITGuy150 | oh and it's Ubuntu 10.10 (don't ask why) | 23:15 |
| invisiblek | OfficeITGuy150, /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart maybe? otherwise kill dhclient and restart it after plugging into the new network | 23:16 |
| DasEi | OfficeITGuy150: few ways, sudo service networking restart, sudo dhclient , ifdown/up, depends | 23:16 |
| psusi | invisiblek, where does raid fit into the picture? what are the source and destination disks? individual disks? raids? different partitions on the same disk? | 23:16 |
| psusi | invisiblek, are you passing any special options to dd? | 23:16 |
| * L3top is dlding a 1204 64 server atm as well | 23:16 | |
| DasEi | OfficeITGuy150: dhcp ? | 23:16 |
| OfficeITGuy150 | yes, it's dhcp | 23:16 |
| invisiblek | source is individual disk, raid is destination | 23:16 |
| DasEi | OfficeITGuy150: sudo service networking restart, sudo dhclient | 23:16 |
| DasEi | should both do the job | 23:17 |
| Lejda | hey guys | 23:17 |
| OfficeITGuy150 | also, ifconfig says it's wlan1 not eth0, I don't know the difference, does that make a difference? | 23:17 |
| Lejda | i've a problem | 23:17 |
| invisiblek | dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/output.img bs=8k count=256k | 23:17 |
| psusi | oneiric 32 bit server also fails to find the usb | 23:17 |
| iToast | psusi: !!!!!!! | 23:17 |
| invisiblek | (obviously of= is pointing to where the specific node is mounted) | 23:17 |
| DasEi | OfficeITGuy150: not for those commands; wlan is wirless, eth is wired | 23:17 |
| Lejda | OfficeITGuy150: wlan = wireless, eth0 = ethernet | 23:17 |
| iToast | psusi: How do i change the extention of all the files in a directory automatically? | 23:17 |
| OfficeITGuy150 | ok so "sudo service networking restart" restarts both? That's perfect. | 23:18 |
| DasEi | y | 23:18 |
| Lejda | service is external command in debian version | 23:18 |
| Lejda | it will not work if it's not installed | 23:18 |
| DasEi | OfficeITGuy150: also sudo dhclient scans both types of interfaces for a dhcp offer | 23:18 |
| Dacs | anyone does having issues with 12.04 | 23:18 |
| Lejda | use /etc/init.d/networking restart | 23:19 |
| iToast | DasEi: How do I automatically rename all the files in a directory | 23:19 |
| L3top | will take me a bit to dl psusi | 23:19 |
| iToast | well change their extention... | 23:19 |

| dustinspringman | hey all, trying to install teamviewer... getting "failed to satisfy all the dependencies" in synaptic while trying to install the .deb.. thoughts? | 23:19 |
| OfficeITGuy150 | DasEi: does sudo dhclient restart the dhcp connection? | 23:19 |
| Harris | DasEi, i posted the url | 23:19 |
| L3top | psusi: It is baffling though... if it were a display driver issue it would make more sense and I would recommend forcing fbdev, as there is a known issue with vesa... | 23:20 |
| DasEi | iToast: depends on scenario, either mv or a for loop | 23:20 |

| Jordan_U | L3top: What I said about USB drivers was an explanatio for the problem which didn't depend on it simply being the Ubuntu alternate/server installers not supporting booting from anything other than CD. | 23:25 |

| smjms | how old version? | 23:40 |
| jrib | smjms: I don't know | 23:40 |
| Jordan_U | psusi: Did you have a physical CD with the Ubuntu installer in the CDROM drive when you did your real hardware test? | 23:40 |
| zykotick9 | jrib: but ubuntu's ffmpeg is crippled (for MP4) | 23:41 |
| jrib | smjms: I think it's libav now | 23:41 |
| Loshki | L3top: it was iToast who wanted this (seems to be offline now...) | 23:41 |
| DasEi | !info ffmpeg | smjms | 23:41 |
| ubottu | smjms: ffmpeg (source: libav): Multimedia player, server, encoder and transcoder (transitional package). In component main, is optional. Version 4:0.8.1-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 2 kB, installed size 66 kB | 23:41 |
| psusi | Jordan_U, no... using usb flash stick | 23:41 |
| L3top | Loshki: I know... I just like puzzles and he was on ignore. | 23:41 |
| smjms | ffmpeg is going somewhere at 0.10 I think | 23:41 |
| Jordan_U | psusi: And you have nothing in your CDROM drive? | 23:41 |
| DasEi | see above | 23:41 |
| jrib | smjms: what doesn't the version in the repositories do? | 23:41 |
| Loshki | L3top: good for you! | 23:41 |
| psusi | Jordan_U, I do have a disc in the cdrom, but it's not an install disc | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | smjms: echo $LIBRARY_PATH etc | 23:42 |
| smjms | ActionParsnip: thank you | 23:42 |
| smjms | no output :I | 23:42 |
| Jordan_U | psusi: That's odd then. I can't think of why qemu would fail where real hardware would succeed. | 23:42 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: do you get anything for $LIBRARY_PATH or $LD_LIBRARY_PATH? i don't. | 23:43 |
| jrib | smjms: you do not want to touch those variables... | 23:43 |
| Darael | Where does Unity keep keyboard-layout settings? I need to delete them all and start over (having given up on finding a solution) but removing ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/* (the only place I could find that stuff) doesn't appear to have made any difference. | 23:43 |
| jrib | smjms: my advice is you use the version in the repositories. If you want to ignore that, then see ubottu about how to compile things | 23:43 |
| jrib | !compile > smjms | 23:43 |
| ubottu | smjms, please see my private message | 23:43 |
| Harris | how do i make a symbolic link | 23:43 |
| jrib | Harris: ln -s TARGET NAME | 23:43 |
| L3top | the only known (to me) reason qemu fails is because of a vesa bug... not hw init | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: not here, but users can set their own variables I guess :) | 23:44 |
| DasEi | jrib: just did a whois, seems dad arrived there ;) | 23:44 |
| DasEi | (harr...) | 23:44 |
| Harris | i want the folder /home/harris/Desktop/All Music to link to /home/harris/Desktop/Dropbox | 23:44 |
| DasEi | harris : err... | 23:45 |
| DasEi | harris : sudo mkdir /media/vista && sudo chown -R $USER /media/vista , are you still there btw ? | 23:45 |
| Darael | Harris: "ln -s /home/harris/Desktop/{Dropbox,All\ Music}" would do that, but are you entirely sure that's what you want to do? | 23:45 |
| Harris | jrib, how do i do that | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Harris: ln -s /home/harris/Desktop/All\ Music /home/harris/Desktop/Dropbox Now the 'Dropbox' folder will be /home/harris/Desktop/All Music | 23:46 |
| Harris | jrib, i want the folder /home/harris/Desktop/All Music to link to /home/harris/Desktop/Dropbox | 23:46 |
| DasEi | Darael: we where just in the middle of a local share on a dualboot | 23:46 |
| jrib | Harris: well ln -s TARGET NAME. Replace target with the target of your symlink and NAME with the name of your symlink | 23:46 |

| Dayofswords | does anyone know how you can set the defualt contents of the ~/Desktop Folder? | 23:47 |
| Harris | Darael, i want to sync folders outside of my dropbox folder | 23:47 |
| jrib | Dayofswords: what do you mean? For a new user? | 23:47 |
| smjms | I have libx264.a, libx264.so, and libx264.125.so in /usr/local/lib, so why does it still say '/usr/bin/ld.gold.real: error: cannot find -lx264'? | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Harris: then you want to make the link inside of ~/Dropbox | 23:48 |
| Harris | how | 23:48 |
| DasEi | Harris: what happened to the local share of vista ? | 23:48 |
| heer | hello | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Harris: ln -s /home/harris/Desktop/All\ Music ~/Dropbox/All\ Music will do it | 23:48 |
| jrib | smjms: probably because you have stuff in /usr/local/ | 23:48 |
| Dacs | reisio: its dacs | 23:48 |
| Dacs | reisio: so its a crash report | 23:49 |
| Darael | Harris: a) Is that Dropbox's recommended way of doing it? b) Is there a reason you're using Dropbox rather than Ubuntu One or SpiderOak, both of which can sync any folder you like without symlink hackage? and c) You need to put the symlink in the Dropbox folder, and the \en given should show why you don't generally want spaces in filenames ;). | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Darael: it does work :) | 23:49 |
| smjms | jrib: if that's why, I might want to touch those variables | 23:49 |
| Dayofswords | jrib: yes, when a new user is created, is there a folder somewhere that contains the defualt contents of ~/Desktop | 23:50 |
| jrib | smjms: you should read the link I gave you | 23:50 |
| Darael | ActionParsnip: Well, that answers a). That's a start. | 23:50 |
| jrib | Dayofswords: /etc/skel/ | 23:50 |

| smjms | okay | 23:50 |
| DasEi | smjms: if you compile never things, apart from borking your sys (vm is yiur friend for trieying first), often the -dev versions of libs are needed | 23:50 |
| DasEi | newer* | 23:50 |
| Darael | ActionParsnip: Unless you were referring to escaping the spaces, in which case: I know, but it's much less hassle to just avoid the things in naming. | 23:50 |
| Harris | Darael, it work can you help me with the four other folders i have | 23:51 |
| smjms | I have never borked my system by compiling things | 23:51 |
| DasEi | smjms: I killed several vm's | 23:51 |
| Harris | /home/harris/Desktop/School to /home/harris/Desktop/Dropbox | 23:51 |
| Dayofswords | jrib: I think that might just the the home, there no Desktop directory there(10.04 Desktop) | 23:51 |
| Dacs | reisio: everytime i reboot the system "sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error' executable path /usr/sbin/aptd pkg : aptdaemon 0.43+bzr805-ubuntu1 | 23:51 |
| Darael | Harris: You were given the syntax: ln -s <target> <link>. Surely you can extrapolate? To give a hint, in each case <link> will be /home/harris/Desktop/Dropbox/<something>. | 23:52 |
| jrib | Dayofswords: if you create one there it will be copied to new user's homes | 23:52 |
| Dacs | reisio: problem type : crash, annotation; search failed | 23:52 |
| Dayofswords | jrib: alright, thank you for the help! | 23:52 |
| Dacs | reisio: any idea please? | 23:53 |
| Darael | Harris: It's also legal to "ln -s <target1> <target2> <target3> /home/harris/Desktop/Dropbox/" if you want to do it in one command. It'll create a symlink to each <target> under /home/harris/Desktop/Dropbox (or whatever else you put in the last position). | 23:53 |
| Darael | Anybody happen to know where keyboard-layout settings are kept in Precise? It seems to have changed from Oneiric; while the panel shows my own settings, they're ignored in actual use. | 23:54 |
| cakehero | hi team | 23:55 |
| smjms | wasn't it the other way around some time (years?) ago? /usr/local/ was the first to look from, and then /usr/? | 23:55 |
| ki7rw | anyone know what's causing this? the main.cf and master.cf works ok on postfix 2.8.5 - http://pastebin.com/Z89q1GMQ | 23:55 |
| reisio | cakehero: go go go! | 23:56 |
| cakehero | ok | 23:56 |
| Harris | Darael, it says link broken | 23:57 |
| Dacs | ActionParsnip: will you be able to help me? | 23:57 |
| [snake] | um, the science channel is taking forever, so I need some help with functions if anyone can help me: fx=cos(3x)... the function is unimportant sort of because I just need to know how to find the period. I assume the period is one iteration of the wave, correct? | 23:57 |
| Harris | ok to make it easy how do i get spider oak | 23:57 |
