[00:00] ActionParsnip, I am a unity Pro ! [00:00] what is gauke? [00:00] werder: yes [00:00] !info guake [00:00] 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] tonsofpcs: it's a terminal that hides off screen until you tell it to show up [00:00] tonsofpcs: did you ever play half life, counterstrike or quake? [00:00] that is: it's a terminal with predefined shortcuts to appear and disappear [00:00] will wayland composite support replace compiz !! [00:00] ah, so it's ` ;) [00:01] tonsofpcs: exactly [00:01] [that's a yes, ActionParsnip] [00:01] tonsofpcs: there is a lighter guake-like app called tilde too :) [00:01] dr3mro: I still want e17 to replace compiz... [00:01] ActionParsnip: no, it is strange in the before Ubuntu's version i hadn't problems [00:01] but ~ is tilde, wouldn't tilde be the 'high brow' version of grave? [00:01] tonsofpcs: its great, run a command then hide the terminal, you can check progress by bringing it back down :) [00:02] f12 may be geting grabbed by the desktop [00:02] ActionParsnip: so it's like screen for my gui screen? :) [00:02] tonsofpcs: its just a drop down terminal, dead handy [00:02] ActionParsnip: I fixed the problem... I resolved the IP for us.archive.ubuntu.com and then wrote it into /etc/hosts [00:02] 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] Well, i am going to restart again.. [00:02] ipproblem: nice [00:03] dr3mro: have you ever used enlightenment? [00:03] Bye, thanks. [00:03] Browser: make sure you link /usr/share/applications/guake.desktop in ~/.config/autostart [00:03] tonsofpcs, No! [00:03] ok [00:03] 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] gkatsev: I think everything else should be installed by default [00:03] dr3mro: i highly recommend it [00:03] when I used linux for 'desktop' work, it was amazing. [00:03] when will 3.4 kernel hit ubuntu precise repos!! [00:04] ActionParsnip: yes, there is a link [00:04] (I now don't do 'desktop' work outside of work so it's not really useful) [00:04] tonsofpcs, but I use unity and it needs compiz! [00:04] Er. Why does it show up in the boot menu as "Ubuntu, with Linux"? lol [00:04] how do I enable the codecs for kdenlive? [00:04] dr3mro: it won't, it's a Quantal kernel [00:04] but e17 > unity. [00:04] (I know, I'm a heathen for saying that here) [00:04] dr3mro: there are 3rd party sources for the kernel but it won't be suppored here [00:05] e17.. has issues. [00:05] dr3mro: 3.4 won't be coming to 12.04 [00:05] trism: do I need the linux-headers if I'm just installing from apt-get? [00:05] how to save the full irssi log of the current session ? [00:05] 3.4 kernel wont work with nvidia driver, beware [00:05] dr_willis: it does? is e16 the stable one then? I always get the two confused... [00:05] how to save the full irssi log of the current session ? [00:05] tonsofpcs: both have really quirky... quirks. [00:06] myhero: I think it only logs from the point you set logging on ... [00:06] 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] how do i check for drive errors in ubuntu? [00:06] can someone write that symbolic link code for virtual box [00:06] tonsofpc: means.... [00:06] dr_willis: like? [00:06] 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] myhero: 'no' [00:06] ActionParsnip: i am going to restart again.. [00:06] dr3mro: I've heard lots of problems with 3.4 [00:06] ActionParsnip, even when Quantal is released!! [00:06] I created an icon. I want to do that [00:06] dr3mro: its not a Precise kernel, it will be in Quantal [00:06] trism: ah, ok. Maybe that's why it didn't actually connect. [00:07] tonsofpf: any way to save irssi log ? [00:07] werder, for me it has better over all performance and less heat from the FAN !! [00:07] dr3mro: quantal is 12.10 so will be released in the 10th month of 2012 [00:07] on my phone cant type a lot. go try them [00:07] if it's released on time [00:07] which is likely [00:07] dr3mro: sweet, maybe I'll give it a try then [00:07] Hi [00:07] and you can get betas before then [00:07] ActionParsnip, I know !! but why not back port it and give the user an option ! [00:07] name a good php server program I can stall to test websites locally [00:07] *install [00:07] trism: hm... nope, seems like I already had them installed [00:08] How do I enable all kdenlive codecs? [00:08] con-man: apache, nginx, php, etc. [00:08] ln -s /usr/bin/virtualbox ~/Desktop/Virtual.desktop [00:08] bizukifu: hi [00:08] dr3mro: the Canonical team is pretty small for the size of the base. They only have so many people. [00:08] is this the correct command? [00:08] reisio, oh apache has native php support? w00t. [00:08] harushimo: you want to link the desktop file in /usr/share/applications [00:08] it should [00:08] gkatsev: had what installed? [00:09] trism: the linux-headers [00:09] werder, it's only autobuild the kernel for both versions >>> all building is in launchpad by some clicks [00:09] myhero, /LASTLOG -file ~/irc.log [00:09] 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] ln -s /usr/bin/virtualbox /usr/share/applications/Virtual.desktop [00:09] like that? [00:09] can someone please help me [00:10] harushimo: no [00:10] harushimo: a. desktop file is not a binary executable === notmegazig is now known as _schism_ [00:10] piper69_, !? [00:10] 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] harushimo: ln -s /usr/share/applications/virtualbox.desktop ~/Desktop/VirtualBox.desktop [00:10] harushimo: use TAB to complete the names [00:10] Loll.. Wifi still doesn't work "out of the box" -_-' [00:10] harushimo: it's: ln -s source dest [00:10] got it [00:10] dr3mro: i am trying to add w32codec for vlc to play wmv files [00:10] right [00:11] CoJaBo: did for me [00:11] CoJaBo: depends on the chip...ALL my wifis work out of the box [00:11] dr_willis: Huh; well it says the driver is installed and in use, but no wifi card appears. [00:11] 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] virtual box source destination for me is /usr/bin/virtualbox [00:11] i have wasted 1hr trying to get this thing to work instead of studying [00:11] please help [00:11] why wouldn't you use this [00:11] piper69_: okay [00:12] after this, I'm done [00:12] thank you [00:12] 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] harushimo: thats the binary, not the desktop file which will give a decent icon [00:12] resisio i tried smplayer,mplayer, vlc and all are not playing the wmv [00:12] harushimo: you can use the binary if you want but it won't look too great and may get lost in the rest [00:13] 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] werder, but new k [00:13] piper69_: does 'rei' and then hitting TAB not work in chatzilla? [00:13] werder, but newer kern means more hardware support !! [00:13] whenever creating icons on 10.04, I was using the binaries [00:13] interesting [00:13] thank you [00:13] reisio: opps , sorry i am just frustrated [00:13] or even better, a solution. dmesg doesn't provide any error messages [00:13] take care everyone [00:13] piper69_: just checking [00:13] piper69_: how big is the file? [00:14] 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] dr3mro: yes but many kernel upgrade break things for people and businesses want an LTS to be stable. [00:14] K, so where to start getting wifi to work? :/ [00:14] hi guys [00:14] How do I enable all kdenlive codecs? [00:14] reisio: there is alot of them , 13-15Mb [00:14] ActionParsnip: doesn't work the guake [00:14] today i install ubuntu 12.04 and dont detect my 3g usb modem [00:15] CoJaBo: what wifi chip do you use? [00:15] sorry i should say MB megabytes and not bits [00:15] i have restarted and nothing [00:15] ActionParsnip: Broadcom somthing.. [00:15] browser: use startup apps and remove the one in there, then make the link yourself [00:15] I see now, if it opens behind another window it rocks [00:15] !broadcom | CoJaBo [00:15] CoJaBo: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [00:15] piper69_: if you can upload one somewhere I can take a look at it, determine what you need [00:15] i have Alcatel one touch X200D usb modem pls help thanks [00:15] $ lspci | grep Bro [00:15] 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02) [00:15] 0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) [00:15] oops [00:15] CoJaBo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:15] last line only [00:16] reisio: the teacher gave them to us to watch and then write about the scenarios [00:16] piper69_: right [00:16] CoJaBo: read ubottus' link :) [00:16] guys? [00:16] Waiting for firefox to load.. [00:16] reisio: "No suitable decoder module: [00:17] 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] reisio: i am on 10.10 [00:17] piper69_: Tried mplayer? [00:17] It supports more of the really obscure codecs [00:17] Question - did I goof this up? I ran "sudo usermod -G motion jason". Did I successfully add the user jason to the group motion? [00:18] piper69_: Maverick is no longer supported [00:18] CoJaBo: yes and its not working [00:18] ActionParsnip: startup apps? [00:18] 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] browser: yes, search dash [00:18] or ffmpeg (and convert them) [00:18] roasted: adduser is probably safer [00:18] piper69_: I suggest you upgrade to a supported release, Maverick is now dead [00:18] reisio: ?! [00:18] 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 [00:19] ok [00:19] roasted: as far as I am aware, you probably removed jason from all groups other than motion as well [00:19] 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] quiescens, lol, yep. unfortunately. [00:19] quiescens, dang I suck. I did this over SSH too... [00:19] roasted: sudo usermod -a -G motion jason [00:19] ActionParsnip: i don't like the new GUI [00:19] today, it took a really long time for ubuntu to boot...why? [00:19] roasted, you have been on here enough to know never to use usermod -G without -a [00:19] sat on purple screen [00:19] escott, no kidding. [00:19] roasted: you are adding the user to a supplementary group, your command wil make the user in ONLY the motion group [00:19] KRomo, probably checking the filesystem [00:20] piper69_: you don't have to use it [00:20] KRomo: probably fscking the disk [00:20] oh ok [00:20] piper69_: http://www.andrews-corner.org/mplayer.html [00:20] why would it do that? [00:20] 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] KRomo: what GPU do you use? [00:20] roasted: i typically use: adduser (user) (group) [00:20] KRomo: cause it doest it periodically [00:20] does [00:20] quiescens, even if the user already exists? [00:20] roasted: just so that forgetting an option doesn't go and obliterate their groups [00:20] guys ?pls help me,cant connect to internet (im using old HDD 12Gb now >win xp) wanna be on ubuntu pls help [00:20] KRomo: Just to be sure all is well. [00:20] roasted: yeah [00:20] nvidia gtx 460 [00:20] easy to just wipe ubuntu and install windows i guess [00:21] 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] piper69_: doesn't make maverick supported, you need to upgrade to at least Natty, which is EOL in October [00:21] bummer [00:21] piper [00:21] piper69_: could install XFCE and use that, its very similar to Gnome 2 [00:21] piper69_: Gnome is not the only desktlop [00:21] 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] i install ubuntu 12.04 ,and ubuntu dont detect my 3G usb mode :( [00:22] 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] piper69_: or... go to a computer lab and convert them [00:22] im so happy with ubuntu, my computer isnt obsolete by any means but i built it in 2007 [00:22] piper69_: you could even install KDE and use that [00:22] 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] piper69_: or LXDE.. [00:23] and its running great [00:23] ActionParsnip: i will give that a try, do i just upgrade from synaptic [00:23] 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] 5 year old computer running pretty well [00:23] quiescens, would I have to edit sudoers or is there a group I can plug in? [00:23] !eolupgrade | piper69_ [00:23] piper69_: and if you upload one of the files I can tell you whether svn mplayer supports it or not [00:23] hola [00:23] !eol | piper69_ [00:23] 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] piper69_: could do, I'd just clean install with Precise then install gnome-panel :) [00:23] I could even convert them for you if there aren't too many [00:24] roasted: the group you need is probably admin [00:24] roasted: adm, sorry [00:24] quiescens, k... time to bust out a monitor and hook it up to the box. [00:24] oh? adm? [00:24] anyone lol [00:24] neso: yes roflbeans? [00:24] roasted: oh wait, no, admin [00:24] strange [00:24] haha, yeah admin sounds familiar [00:24] neso: what's the modem make/model? [00:24] appreciate it quiescens [00:24] roasted: admin or sudo [00:24] both should work [00:24] alcatel one touch x200d [00:24] by default [00:24] admin rings a bell [00:25] neso: usb? [00:25] roasted: to be sure, have a quick read of /etc/sudoers [00:25] yes [00:25] admin is at least listed in the gui and references to having sudo rights [00:25] neso: what does lsusb say about it? [00:25] ohhh shooot that means i will loose all my class notes and ather files [00:25] sec [00:25] 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] i will be dead if anything happen to this laptop [00:25] quiescens, at any rate, brb. time to giv eit a go [00:26] backups... use them. :) [00:26] easy way to backup my tomboy notes to my usb [00:26] what command will let me test my hd speed? [00:26] read/write [00:27] hello [00:27] tomboy has export features i tecall [00:27] hi [00:27] neso: yeah? [00:27] KRomo, hdparm can do some tests, but it doesnt test filesystem throughput for those you want something like bonnie++ [00:27] reisio Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1bbb:0000 T & A Mobile Phones [00:27] i just wanna see how fast it is [00:27] i make ss so sorry if im wrong [00:27] nikolay negrobov [00:27] also is there is a way i can have a dump of all my pkgs so i can install them again [00:27] yes [00:27] does anyone here use truecrypt?

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] this is totaly new to me [00:38] brian__: is the file system mounted read only? [00:38] No clue why it would be. [00:38] what's the CL check?

[00:40] roasted_: yeah, try sudo group too, it should have both [00:40] roasted_, yes. its the debian way and they evidently wanted to eliminate one cause for issues during conversion [00:41] that's totally why i use adduser instead [00:41] lol [00:41] brian__, The keyboard issue may be a handicap/accessibility setting.

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] Zyclops1: is it a home grade router? [00:42] 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 [00:43] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN << this is what netstat -an | grep "LISTEN" outputs [00:43] ActionParsnip: yeah.. it's running DD-WRT [00:43] Zyclops1: tried a reboot? [00:43] Zyclops1, On my router i have port 22 forwarded to the router <<< i assume you meant "computer" [00:43] ah yeah sorry [00:43] yep and it's forwarded to the correct internal IP address [00:43] 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. [00:44] ActionParsnip: nah i haven't.. of the router or the server? note i can ssh locally into the server [00:44] Zyclops1, you can run ssh -vvvv and see if it says anything about the connection, but i would double check the router [00:44] roasted_: you could, just make new and add it to the admin group [00:44] roasted_: did sudo group not work? [00:44] Zyclops1: the router [00:44] escott: ok thanks [00:44] quiescens: sudo usermod -a -G sudo jason...... no [00:44] Zyclops1: it may need to happen to get the WAN side sorted [00:44] ActionParsnip: awesome i'll try that.. sorry co-workers :) [00:44] roasted_: thats right [00:44] actually [00:44] i can forward it to my local computer.. on port 80 [00:44] ActionParsnip: didn't work [00:45] ActionParsnip: cannot lock /etc/passwd' try again later [00:45] test that port forwarding is actually working at all [00:45] roasted_: is the file system read only? [00:45] ActionParsnip: I have no idea. I'm in root recovery. [00:45] roasted_: run: mount [00:45] sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep -i speed [00:46] roasted_, assuming it is "mount -o remount,rw / [00:46] :) [00:46] ActionParsnip: /dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,erroprs=remount-ro) [00:46] confirmed that sata 3 is working [00:46] KRomo, i would take those hdparm results with a grain of salt it really just testing the bus [00:46] Zyclops1: then edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the port it runs there :) [00:46] escott: er, I think that worked? [00:46] escott:i just want to be sure that my ssd is getting proper speed [00:46] roasted_, thats mounted rw then. still getting the /etc/passwd error [00:46] escott: no, it came back fine. [00:46] escott: rebooting already. [00:47] KRomo, i saw your message come though just as i hit enter :) [00:47] KRomo: isn't -I just info? [00:47] roasted_: probably delete /etc/passwd.lock [00:47] escott: back in gui, works great. [00:47] KRomo: sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda will actualy test read/writes [00:47] quiescens: even though it's working? [00:48] roasted_: oh, no no, that was only if it continued to complain about being locked [00:48] KRomo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1015697/ [00:48] KRomo: see the difference [00:48] ActionParsnip: as a security measure? [00:49] Can anyone assist with: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1015692/ [00:49] Zyclops1: no, if you can forward to port 80, you may as well use it [00:49] quiescens: nah, we're good then :) [00:49] appreciate it guys... back to the laptop :) [00:49] I have 2 laptops running Ubuntu 12.0.4 live CDs, and connected with a network cable, they will ping each other but neither shows up under 'network' in the file browser, and recomendations?

[00:51] i find gwibber very slow [00:51] roasted_: things like lpadmin, plugdev, cdrom [00:51] 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] Kasplodey: I installed libcurses-ui-perl and libcurses-widgets-perl. Do you know why perl woudn't not be able to find the modules? [00:52] KRomo: http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/05/03/twitter-clients-for-ubuntu-linux/ [00:52] MoleMan^Away: yes, you share folders easily using nautilus [00:52] i want somthing to handle twitter and fb [00:52] MoleMan^Away: or install openssh-server and you will have an SFTP server === OY1R_ is now known as OY1R [00:52] MoleMan^Away: weird nick with 'away' i it.... [00:53] Shinobi, not offhand. Let me do some searching. Not really familiar with that module. [00:53] thx [00:53] ActionParsnip: yeah, didn't notice and change it back, now I keep getting "* 435 MoleMan #httpd Cannot change nickname while banned on channel" [00:55] MoleMan^Away: yes, addining 'away' to nicks is against channel policy. Just leave. You don't have to change nick. I've been AFK about 6 times in the last hour, changing nick spams the channel [00:55] KRomo: could use unity-lens-gwibber [00:55] !3g [00:56] I only actually change it when I leave my PC, ie shutdown, I just leave my Quassel core connected... [00:56] Q: Installed 12.04 from livecd onto 64bit intel cpu p4 system. only showing 3.2g ram in system monitor, followed directioning for enablingPAE and the PAE image gives a kernel panic. How can this be fixed? Kernel panic says something about no init found. [00:56] gwibber is soooooo slow [00:56] the scrolling is fucked [00:56] MoleMan^Away: fine, just don'tchange nick and you win :) [00:56] System has 6g ram installed [00:57] ivorybishop, why not just install 64bit [00:57] I did install from 64bit livecd. [00:57] ivorybishop: are there bugs reported? +1 to escott's why not 64bit install... [00:57] Anyone know how to convince the desktop to wake up with the rest of the computer? [00:57] ok guys im back in linux mint :( i like so much ubuntu but [00:57] dsnyders: what GPU do you use? [00:57] bios shows 6g installed ram [00:58] neso: mint isn't supported here [00:58] ivorybishop, if you installed from a 64bit livecd ou would have a 64bit kernel and pae would not be an option. [00:58] but it installed a generic kernel [00:58] 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] !away | MoleMan^Away [00:58] MoleMan^Away: Please do not use noisy away messages and nicks in Ubuntu channels. It is annoying and unnecessary. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [00:58] ivorybishop, pae is ONLY for 32bit kernels [00:58] hmm [00:58] how do i get this thing to recognize the full ram then? [00:59] the bios sees it [00:59] i am not a linux pro [00:59] Shinobi I can't seem to find any reference to 0.pm in Curses::UI. What's calling this .pm? [00:59] ivorybishop, install a 64bit kernel would be the best choice. get those extra registers and sse4 if ou hav eit [00:59] ActionParsnip, I think it is an nVidia video gpu. Any way to check for sure? [00:59] but i am not a commandline newbie either [00:59] 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] i installed from a 64bit livecd, shouldnt that install a 64bit kernel? [01:00] yup [01:00] ivorybishop, what does uname -a say? [01:00] one sec [01:00] MoleMan^Away: you could ask in #freenode [01:00] Linux dirtDiver 3.2.0-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 21 16:52:17 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [01:00] ActionParsnip, nVidia Corporation NV43GL [Quadro FX 540] [01:01] dsnyders: thought so [01:01] Kasplodey: My script. I'm troubleshooting some use statements... [01:01] ivorybishop, and free -m? [01:01] That's the only thing I can think of. [01:01] 3261 [01:01] use Curses; use Curses::UI; use Curses::Widget; [01:01] there is 6g installed tho [01:01] and bios supports it [01:01] Widget bombs [01:01] dsnyders: try this: http://www.amitsrivastava.net/2008-03-23-hibernate-suspend-resolved-ubuntu-gutsy-nvidia-dell-vostro/ [01:01] i ma puzzled [01:01] w000, i has wifiiiiiii [01:02] ivorybishop, 3261 under total ram. that number doesnt make sense its not a nice multiple of 1024 [01:02] thats total [01:02] used is 2554 [01:02] Shinobi, can you show me the section with the use statements so I can try them locally? [01:03] ivorybishop, what about the first line of /proc/meminfo [01:03] ActionParsnip, Thanks, I'll take a look. [01:03] MemTotal: 3340100 kB === hspencer[afk] is now known as hspencer [01:03] shinobi i tried just use Curses::UI and it worked but I'm not sure what all you're calling. [01:03] ivorybishop, onboard vga that takes system memory ? [01:04] it has an itegrated video but it should be disabled since i have an nvidia card installed [01:04] hi, is there a way to execute an arbitrary command, that will open a program for me? I use the Alt "tap" and it says "type your command", so I'd think whatever I type would execute as a shell command, (such as "xcalc" to open the calculator that is not in a menu), but it doesn't do it.... any idea how to get this to work? I need an easy access to programs by name, not just icons and not just having a full terminal open [01:04] thats 512mb ram [01:04] tomasm-: use ALT+F2 instead [01:04] the integrated reserves 1 or 8 meg, and i set it for 1 i think [01:04] Kasplodey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1015707/ [01:05] there is no "none" option [01:05] is there other way to install mp3 plugin in offline mode? [01:05] neso in mint? [01:05] ivorybishop, how about dmidecode? [01:05] neso: mint isn't supported here [01:05] ActionParsnip, how come that's not mentioned in the shortcuts screen? [01:05] !mint [01:06] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [01:06] shinobi - weird, same thing here.

[01:06] ? [01:06] Kasplodey: Try this. create a new .pl and just put the use statements in there. Try them 1 at a time. Do widgets last. [01:06] Thx [01:07] neso: press CTRL+ALT+T and run the command, what is output please? [01:07] ActionParsnip, was just curious how to find out what the shortcuts are.... seems to all be listed under the system settings [01:07] neso: obviously as the system is offline you'll need to copy the text but its quite minimal [01:07] Action im using win now ..i have install ubuntu in other HDD [01:08] tomasm-: hold superL (aka 'windows key') and you'll see them [01:08] cant must shot down PC and plug other HDD :( [01:08] neso: then i'd get it online first rather than worry about codecs [01:08] does anyone know how to install p2ptube? [01:09] Kasplodey: I got it... it seems to do with the multi-line statement... it doesn't like it [01:09] From what I understand Perl can separate commands onto different physical lines, ending it with a ; [01:09] brb [01:10] "You're not on the latest version of Firefox.

For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [01:36] Dr_Willis, speaking of which, is /etc/init.d services still supported? I don't think motion uses sudo service... [01:36] 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] please advise [01:36] roasted: if you look - the init.d scripts are most likely links to upstart scripts. :) i dont mess with services much. [01:37] jamiejackson: or hold shift at boot and select recovery mode then select root [01:37] ivorybishop, lets take a look at dmesg then [01:37] wtf [01:37] 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.... [01:38] ./configure --prefix=/usr [01:38] i get configure not found [01:38] ivorybishop, supposedly it would still work even if it wasnt paired it just wouldnt be dual channel. [01:38] what am i doing wrong? [01:38] 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] Dr_Willis: ActionParsnip thx. will try text to the kernel line first [01:38] ivorybishop, so if we get things working you should make sure that your dimms are matching to any color coding on the board itself [01:39] why do they not include vlc with ubuntu [01:39] ? [01:39] i see [01:39] applebloom: its in the repos - so its easy to install [01:39] !info vlc [01:39] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.1-4 (precise), package size 1361 kB, installed size 3370 kB [01:39] does dmesg reveal any security issues i should cut? [01:39] before pasting [01:40] applebloom: its in the repos - so its easy to install [01:40] 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] but why isn't it included with the install [01:40] kk [01:40] ActionParsnip, ... or does it matter. All of the files in that directory seem to contain lists of blacklist statements. [01:40] it seems more convenient [01:40] for casual users [01:40] applebloom: why should it be included by default? theres other media players included [01:40] applebloom, because people like me dont want it [01:40] <|Long|> have anyone here installed glftpd on 12.04? [01:40] escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1015742/ [01:41] Dr_Willis, yeah but no file format works :p [01:41] no mp4, nothing [01:41] applebloom: those work for me in the default media player [01:41] i tried it on 4 installs [01:41] 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] dsnyders: the file NEEDS to end in '.conf' [01:42] ive found very few video files that dont work for me in the default player [01:42] 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] Dr_Willis, but you have to be online to do that [01:42] 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] applebloom: so? [01:42] !nvidia [01:42] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [01:43] Dr_Willis, ubuntu is supposed to be for normal people [01:43] and sometimes those people are not connected to the internet [01:43] applebloom: and normal peopel are assumed to have internet connection [01:43] it's just a suggestion to improve the casual interface [01:43] applebloom: if you have a realmedia file in windows, no web access and no realplayer installed you are in the same boat [01:43] You asked why its not included.. because the default player can handle them [01:43] ActionParsnip, Thanks for the pointer. I'll rename the file with a .conf "extension". [01:44] dsnyders: don't name it to blacklist.conf or you'll overwrite the old file [01:45] 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... any insight? [01:45] !info motion [01:45] motion (source: motion): V4L capture program supporting motion detection. In component universe, is optional.

[01:46] ActionParsnip, Noted. [01:46] Dr_Willis, that's what I thought, but it kind of surprised me. [01:46] Dr_Willis, it's kind of like zoneminder, except in a lot of ways its simpler and works better. [01:46] does anyone know what language atari games were written in? [01:47] roasted: its not real clear on what you are doing either. [01:47] ivorybishop, there is this WARNING: BIOS bug: CPU MTRRs don't cover all of memory, losing 2048MB of RAM. [01:47] VMERSINTO: theres been several 'atari' game systems [01:47] Dr_Willis, well, I'm limited on space I can type in 1 shot too. I'd have to elaborate quite a bit for it to make sense. [01:47] escott: i saw that [01:47] how do I get aerosnap? [01:47] roasted: theres always pastebin. :OO) === jgrevich_ is now known as jgrevich [01:47] Dr_Willis : was C++ implented in any of the game systems [01:47] VMERSINTO: how is that ubuntu related? [01:47] 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. [01:48] microm: enabled by default, IIRC [01:48] 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] ActionParsnip : I develop using ubuntu [01:48] 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] ivorybishop, a kernel config file? [01:48] reisio: after a fresh install, it's not there... [01:48] 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. [01:49] 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] i am not sure, i was just shotgunning a search thru duckduckgo and it shows a lot of stuff [01:49] ivorybishop, a bios update might be in order [01:49] i may just have to live with this since i am not a linux pro [01:49] ivorybishop, its also possible the board just doesnt support more than 4GB [01:50] i think the bios is as up to date as it will get. its a dell [01:50] and an older one at that [01:50] 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] 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] i see [01:51] well, thank you for your patience and your help, its very appreciated [01:51] jamiejackson: ssame line with the 'quiet splash'' option.. [01:51] it was worth a shot anyway [01:52] jamiejackson: you can replace 'quiet splash' with 'text' i recall [01:52] ivorybishop: tried a diffrent distro like suse etc? not debian or ubuntu based [01:52] Dr_Willis, am I speaking spanglish or does that at least make sense? [01:52] got it, Dr_Willis, thanks [01:52] nah, i havent [01:52] thats a good idea tho [01:53] ivorybishop: might be worth a shot === ray1claw_afk is now known as ray1claw === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [02:00] quick check, anyone else finding that omgubuntu pages don't load (uk)?

[02:42] 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] ActionParsnip: this is my wife windows box i don't know how to do it in wiwndows [02:43] ActionParsnip: also i didnt see any netbook version , so i downloaded the desktop [02:43] escott: I have a sandisk cruzer, and removed u3 with the windows too, the other device is gone after, works fine for liveusb [02:43] i am trying to install it on an HP dv7 [02:43] trism, ok i guess ill boot windows later then [02:43] !ND5 [02:45] piper69, you misspelled [02:45] Benkinooby: yes but then i used the correct one on private pm [02:45] piper69, ah, ok [02:45] trying to contribute and not flood [02:46] piper69, i usually install from pen drive... === newbie is now known as Guest76684 [02:47] what program is help me to make like this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohJCdihPWqc [02:47] Benkinooby: i couldn't find how to install it from usb [02:47] i wanna change background and add somthing in video [02:48] !md5 | piper69 [02:48] piper69: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [02:48] piper69: there is no netbook remix now :) [02:48] piper69, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows [02:49] hey [02:49] ActionParsnip: so do i install the alt version [02:49] piper69, this link can be found on the right side on http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [02:49] I'm having trouble with my internet [02:49] piper69, alternate would also be an idea [02:49] !alternate [02:49] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD.

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

[03:28] the full size of the /dev/sda5 that is * [03:29] Gushings: do you really need to use those consoles? Because you can use a Terminal instead [03:29] JoseeAntonioR Yes, I need the consoles. [03:29] I am using a USB installer aswell, [03:30] Gushings: is any of the consoles working fine? [03:30] I can't use terminals for this particular task. [03:30] No, only the one with the graphics. === jsec- is now known as jsec [03:30] if I service gdm stop it turns red as well [03:31] They are all technically "working" actually - I can log in blind and make directories, etc. [03:31] I can only see red though.

[03:32] What does pastebinit do, post to pastebin? [03:32] actionparsnip: Im using a usb installer, cant I just use the partition editor in ubuntu [03:32] to partition the full size of the empty drive from nfts to ext4 rather than using windows. [03:32] ...and it's ext4 tight ? [03:32] cknox, permissions? [03:32] Gushings: Yes [03:33] MerlynKorr: ask someone on this list: /msg chanserv access #tremulous list [03:33] cknox, what do you mean permissions on a partition? [03:34] 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] http://pastebin.com/NmpYgfyG [03:34] now when I create new users, or when I recreated mine, they're all getting the permissions rwxr-xr-x [03:34] which makes it so that everyone can see my files... [03:35] cknox, so set it to something else :-) [03:35] but why would it have set them to that by default?

Seems like the system is using a generic driver for your video card. [03:36] when partitions my drive, which mount point should I use, ?????? [03:36] like /home /boot /tmp /usr /var ??????? [03:36] I am using the drivers from http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads [03:36] System built for CUDA, which is working great.

[03:37] chrislu5tic1, ^ [03:37] cknox: or you could set the umask in bashrc/bash_profile [03:37] chrislu5tic1, I personally make a / partition and a /home partition [03:38] chrislu5tic1, but it depends on what you want [03:38] I am installing ubuntu alongside win7, im formatting an empty partition from ntfs to ext4 so that I can install ubuntu, [03:38] it askes for mount point, [03:38] or ..well it can be selected [03:38] chrisltq, / [03:38] Gushings: I don't know what can be causing this, from what I know this is an issue with the video card [03:38] just the ? by itself? [03:38] Boohbah: enough of your logic! [03:38] chrislu5tic1, you MUST have a partition mounted on "/" [03:38] / is the 'root' of the os [03:39] oh kay so it just has to be one of them [03:39] I can choose home by personal preffernce? [03:39] you have to have a partion mounted as '/' [03:39] Boohbah: watch this... [03:39] /home can be its own partition also.. if you want [03:39] No manual entry for umask [03:39] chrislu5tic1, some advanced users also have a /home partition separate [03:40] Alright, well thank you. [03:40] im trying to install ubuntu.. all partitions are ntfs.. im trying to format the partition.. which mount point should i choose please [03:40] guys i am not able to enable kernel options when booting from usb and suggestions please [03:40] chrislu5tic1, "/" [03:40] chrislu5tic1: you have how many partitions? [03:41] chrislu5tic1, Dr_Willis is asking how many partitions are for linux [03:41] common 'layout' chrislu5tic1 for my systems. one drive --: partition 1 = ntfs, partition 2 = '/' , partition 3 = linux swap [03:41] 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] cknox: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask [03:42] chrislu5tic1: empty ntfs? or empty ext3/4 ? [03:42] nfts [03:42] Boohbah: that's what i'm looking at now [03:42] this computer came with windows. [03:42] chrislu5tic1: any data on it you wan tto keep? [03:42] reisio, thanks stop lightdm worked :) [03:42] guys i am not able to enable kernel options when booting from usb and suggestions please? [03:42] im installing ALONGSIDE [03:42] its not getting rid of my windows [03:42] chrislu5tic1, so set the partition to ext4 and mount point / [03:43] slash by itself right ? [03:43] 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] chrislu5tic1, yes [03:43] any other places userprefs hide in 12.04? i deleted .gconf/apps/gedit-2 but looking for other places... [03:43] THANK YOU ALL [03:43] Dr_Willis, he already said it was empty but formatted ntfs [03:43] sunbird: just to be safe you could always delete / [03:44] sunbird, userprefs hide throughout your home dir [03:44] easiest thing to do woule be to just delete the partition and let the installer repartion the unallocaed space ;) [03:45] russian [03:45] !ru | internetnikolay [03:45] internetnikolay: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [03:45] so i also found .config/gedit, but that wasn't it either.... [03:46] DAMNIT [03:46] it says I have not selected a partition for swap space, and I need to [03:46] chrislu5tic1: yep. i was about to mention how you need 2 partitons normally. / and swap [03:46] is there a good download manager for ubuntu that splits the download into chunks so we can download using 8 connections etc [03:46] спасибо) [03:47] you can get by withoug swap. but i dont know if the installer will let you do that [03:47] wtf [03:47] this is ridiculous [03:47] can someone please help me set the NOMODSET on 12.04 running from usb [03:47] 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] usually installing linux 12.04 on every other computer has been a BREEZ [03:47] this isnt my computer [03:48] you can have seveal loigical partitons in an extended. so having a / and swap is not a big desl [03:48] deal [03:48] so just delete the partition that I was formatting to ext4 [03:48] and then go through with the installation and it will detect it? [03:48] or make it into 2 partitions a / and a smaller swap [03:48] either way you want to. Depends on how much controll you desire. [03:49] chrislu5tic1: how big is this partition anyway? [03:49] ... and .gnome2/gedit... not it. [03:49] i cant do that [03:49] its not my computer i cant go around partitioning everything [03:49] this has never been needed before [03:49] chrislu5tic1: like I said, leave it unpartitioned and the installer will set it up for you [03:49] you allready are changeing partitions. [03:49] ActionParsnip: can you help please [03:49] piper69: sup [03:49] so if you do it.. or if the installer does it.. what does it matter [03:50] piper69: I see you want to run nomodeset from a LiveUSB [03:50] JoseeAntonioR: yes sir, ActionParsnip ^^ [03:51] JoseeAntonioR: in fact nouveau.blacklist=1 [03:51] ActionParsnip: what's it about? The user with a red screen? [03:51] seems like he has already replaced the driver [03:51] JoseeAntonioR: no boot to liveCD for piper69 [03:51] ah, i see [03:53] piper69: Ok, once it's booting you'll see a purple screen with two icons. Press the space key, and you'll be prompted in a menu where you can change the boot options. [03:53] zanberdo - you lurking? [03:53] am not getting that [03:54] ridiculous [03:56] chrislu5tic1: what is? === LukeNukem is now known as DarthVader === DarthVader is now known as chewingGurl [03:57] 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? [03:58] chrislu5tic1= Troll [03:58] chrislu5tic1: if you can enlighten me as to your issue, maybe I can help [03:58] i deleted it === chewingGurl is now known as bluesoup [03:58] the installer does not offer anything [03:59] it says the same thing, you need to format it, after formatting it you need another patition for swap [03:59] 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] chrislu5tic1: ok, what type of disk does windows disk manager say it is? [03:59] often after deleting a partion - a reboot is needed for the kernel to see the new partition layout [03:59] piper69: totally, thats what I do :) [04:00] how can i do it please [04:00] piper69: 10Gb /, 3.3Gb swap, rest for /home :) === bluesoup is now known as unix_mom [04:00] piper69: Yes, you should create the partitions, and set the mount point. You should mount /home for personal data. [04:00] piper69: my system has 3Gb RAM, hence 3.3Gb swap :) [04:01] ext4 [04:02] ActionParsnip: that's not quite what piper69 asked... [04:02] although that's pretty close to my setup [04:03] I have 15 G / 5 G /home 524 M swap and 25 M /var/www [04:03] 5G wouldent hold my wallpaper collection. ;) [04:04] Dr_Willis: it's only 5 G to start with [04:04] Wow you people have small hard drives... [04:04] it's also a server, so I don't need to have wallpapers on it ;) [04:04] i got a whole 3TB hard drive for my home ;) [04:05] * cknox can only fit a 200 GB drive in the server (mostly due to it not having sata, and me not having any other ide drives) [04:06] do you have to reboot after reboot after changing the timezone on a server?

[04:07] no === unix_mom is now known as LukeNukem [04:07] Question - what's a good utility (web based) that I could use to pull up basic stats on my server over the web?

I'll look around though. [04:11] thanks! [04:11] ActionParsnip, you are on here 24/7 [04:11] this_is_a_un: when you have a file server you don't need lots of big drives [04:11] i appreciate all of your help [04:11] KRomo: I just work stupid shifts [04:11] After a power outage, my system running Ubuntu 12.04 no longer has wireless connectivity.

Its proving to be quite awesome for home surveillance. I just wish I understood some of this crap more. [04:14] Can someone help me? I can't load the fail safe graphics option in recovery mode.

[04:38] the zip is in the downloads folder [04:39] KRomo: install unp and use that to extract everything in cli :) [04:39] hm [04:39] wait KRomo are you opening it in archive manager then pressing extract [04:39] yeah [04:39] well [04:39] not pressing extract yet [04:39] yes rather [04:39] pressing extract [04:39] KRomo: right click archive -> extract here [04:39] then create folder [04:39] but i dont want it to extract in downloads [04:40] i want to create a folder imn downloads [04:40] well [04:40] i just tried that [04:40] worked fine [04:40] fucking weird [04:40] try running it from command line [04:40] maybe a 12.04 bug [04:40] see if there's any output [04:40] ye seems like a random bug [04:40] KRomo: Please watch the language. Thank you. [04:41] sorry [04:41] KRomo: make a folder then move the archive into it and extract, most archives will contain a folder to hold everything [04:41] i figured a way to do it, but it seems to be a an archive mansager bug [04:42] i installed 7zip tho, i thought 7zip would handle those files now [04:42] KRomo: run: ubuntu-bug fileroller then and report it [04:42] KRomo: 7zip will just add abilities to fileroller [04:43] fireroller does not exist [04:43] file-roller [04:43] file rather [04:43] doesnt exist [04:43] there's a dash [04:43] oh - [04:43] ok [04:43] ye [04:43] or rather [04:43] hyphen [04:43] i think [04:43] zhanger: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:43] woooooops :\ [04:44] does anyone know how to find the associated program/process with a window? sometimes the window names are totally unrelated, e.g "additional drivers" is "jockey-gtk", "disk utility" is palimpsest [04:45] sometimes i want to run it on command line but i dont know what the executable is called [04:50] 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? [04:51] 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] ggherdov: thats because the command isn't adding the user to admin [04:51] grrrrr [04:51] ggherdov: that will make the user ONLY in that group [04:51] ggherdov: you want: sudo usermod -a admin gghh [04:51] oop [04:51] 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] ggherdov: you want: sudo usermod -a -G admin gghh [04:52] cknox chmod -R it? [04:52] arooni-mobile are you running the daemon or what [04:52] which interface are you using [04:52] ActionParsnip: looks like a few more pass to the manpage of "usermod" are necessary to me :-) thanks [04:52] zhanger, i'm running the gui app [04:52] ggherdov: usermod -a (add) -G (supplementary group) group-to-be-added-to username [04:52] ggherdov: indeed [04:53] zhanger: I did, but then I create a new directory and suddenly I can't create things in that directory [04:53] how to set the cpufreq governet to conservative after booting 3 minutes !! ubuntu 12.04 :) [04:53] excuse , what about lubuntu ? [04:53] oh... [04:53] woops [04:54] did i miss something [04:54] dced [04:54] when it says log out, it means log out (screen sessions included) [04:55] cknox what're the permissions on /var/www [04:55] how can i check file encoding from the terminal? [04:56] drwxr-xr-x 3 www-data www-data 4096 May 30 21:39 [04:56] hmm [04:56] zhanger: i've got it working with /var/www/public set to 3 www-data www-data 4096 May 30 21:39 . [04:57] drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 May 30 21:39 .. [04:57] oops [04:57] how can i watch all my subscriptions from youtube with something like VLC instead of flash? [04:57] drwxrwsr-x 3 root www-data 4096 May 30 21:54 public [04:57] that would make sense cknox, because that means users in the group www-data can modify it [04:57] notice how /www is drwxr-xr-x while /public is drwxrwsr-x [04:58] so i guess you probably would want chmod -R 775 www [04:58] probably [04:58] goddard: You'd need something likei `minitube' (I think is the name?) or `youtube-dl' [04:58] ok, i'll try that in the morning, I've got to sleep or i'll be useless tomorrow [04:58] good luck :) === haozi is now known as man\ === man\ is now known as man === man is now known as restricts [05:08] how do i wanna go about setting up a USB controller? it's a vestax device meant to control virtual turntables, the vci-100. but i think i just need to know how to start, i've not tried this before. [05:09] nydel: run: lsusb use the 8 character hex id to find guides# [05:10] ActionParsnip: trying that now, thank you [05:11] ActionParsnip: you mean just look up the hex id on giggle or something like that? [05:11] google, i would assume ;p [05:12] zhanger: i don't like to spell it like that because i don't want them to know i'm talking about them in case they're watching, they're always watching [05:12] lol [05:12] nydel: haha [05:12] ActionParsnip: is there a way i can run something that'll output the signals being sent by the usb device? [05:12] 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] ...seems to be running ok except that hibernate is hit or miss. any way to repair an installation or at least this issue? [05:13] UberschallSamsar: to get a terminal, ctrl-alt-t [05:13] Hello everyone. My mic port doesn't seem to work. [05:13] alsamixer says nothing is muted [05:13] can anyone help? [05:14] UberschallSamsar: just run updates from launcher, do a check & install everything. [05:14] 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] 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: hmm i think i have done that a few times (this botched install was a few weeks ago). i update maybe once a week [05:15] rufsketch1: your 3.5mm microphone in? [05:15] rufsketch1: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh [05:15] reisio, yes. [05:15] UberschallSamsar: what goes wrong during suspension, you said suspend was hit-or-miss? [05:15] rufsketch1: the pink one [05:15] resio yes [05:15] sometimes it will hibernate and sometimes it just seems to hang and i have to hit reset. i haven't yet identified what's different between a good and bad attempt [05:15] ActionParsnip: riiight, i need to make it a device. okay i'll get to work on this thank you, helpful as always. [05:15] rufsketch1: in alsamixer, did you hit TAB to see everything? [05:16] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1306561 I guess typical FOSS problem - on many ubuntu versions skype has mic not working [05:16] but i also have this problem under windows from time to time (hibernate and/or standby will just hang) [05:16] UberschallSamsar: as in you can't get the system to wake up? [05:16] *(i.e. have this problem under both OSes on the same box) [05:16] ActionParsnip, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=db677eb86b5e3a7d07165c088ac13620e5a54d72 [05:16] reisio, yes [05:17] nydel: no, as in i tell it to suspend or hibernate and the process hangs. i just have a blank screen on ubunte (with a blinking cursor) or on windows i get login screen and it says "preparing to suspend" forever [05:17] after upgrade some package (apt-get upgrade ) mouse doesnt work (as system hang) but if i use super (window) key then i am able to access mouse why is it so any idea ? [05:17] sane doesn't seem to detect my scanner, what can I do? [05:18] rufsketch1: laptop? [05:18] reisio, yes [05:18] or am I wrong? other recording software wont record sond from mic either gnome-sound-recorder [05:18] UberschallSamsar: this might be a defective hardware issue, as it's happening on the good OS & the bad one. [05:18] UberschallSamsar: i'm just joking, windows is a fine os. [05:19] UberschallSamsar: best i can say is to avoid hibernation/suspension. [05:19] 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] rufsketch1: vaio? [05:20] reisio, yes [05:20] in addition to WTF on me having to re-edit my grub.conf every single fscking time i accept an upgrade. [05:20] UberschallSamsar: i'm sorry your upgrade experience wasn't as pleasant as it should have been [05:20] rufsketch1: TT? [05:20] In Byobu 5, is it possible to specify default windows when using the tmux backend? I can't seem to get results from populating #BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR/windows :( [05:20] UberschallSamsar: i suggest backing up your grub.conf [05:20] reisio, what is TT? [05:21] whats the german offtopic channel? [05:21] rufsketch1: part of the model name for some vaio laptops [05:21] UberschallSamsar: did you check the forums.ubuntu.com to see if this problem has occurred for others? it sounds very frustrating. [05:21] reisio, model PCG-71913L [05:21] rufsketch1: but probably not yours if you don't recognize it [05:22] rufsketch1: what's the output of aplay -l ?

[05:25] 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] 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] 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] 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] I just upgraded from to Unity and I have (I hope) a simple question. I create a bunch of Terminals using the Launcher and Minimize them. How do I restore them? If I click the Terminal icon on the Launcher, only 1 of the Terminals is restored. Using alt-tab, I was somehow able to un-minimize two of them. But I need to be able to un-minimize any of them. [05:25] reisio, is he going to make it, doctor?

[05:27] not bitching at you personally nydel btw [05:27] UberschallSamsar: i would think of the window switcher as an application & alt-tab as launching it. [05:27] UberschallSamsar: but you're right, it shouldn't have made the install window vanish. [05:28] well here's hoping ubuntu doesn't let basic stuff like this suffer for the sake if adding eye candy [05:28] if = of [05:29] UberschallSamsar: trust me i & many others are on the front lines every day trying to keep that from happening, so please feel very heard on that issue. [05:29] reisio, will let you know in a few minutes [05:29] nydel: appreciated [05:29] Ubuntu's upgrade process needs some work [05:30] reisio: +1 [05:30] yep reisio [05:30] or unity3d in general does. [05:31] if the upgrade process were done right it wouldn't matter if X crashed [05:31] good point reisio [05:31] talking about downloading files and moving them about [05:31] but also if x didn't crash more upgrades would go right. still the problem source is upgrade [05:31] heya [05:31] :D [05:32] graingert_: hi [05:32] text_color_nicks 1 [05:33] so [05:33] what is difference in terminal and xterminal [05:33] Greetings [05:33] awesome [05:33] I am just exploring cronjobs [05:33] There is a php script that I want to run daily [05:34] I just upgraded from to Unity and I have (I hope) a simple question.

[05:35] reisio, Now I can learn guitar :D [05:35] bdkbdk: alt+tab goes between apps, alt+~ goes between windows of an app. [05:36] bdkbdk: remember you can open terminal tabs from the file menu. [05:37] 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] ActionParsnip's not wrong bdkbdk [05:37] bdkbdk: can I suggest you use guake, it supports tabs and is a great replacement for gnome-terminal :) [05:37] thanks again nydel === Markus[uOS] is now known as ultimedia [05:37] sulaiman: you have to download the php script?

[09:28] no [09:28] how do you expect to start firefox if it's not installed ? [09:29] ;) [09:29] how do I install it? [09:29] pbx2: open the package manager, search for it and click install [09:29] 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?

[09:31] I want a clean version for my browser [09:31] pbx2: what is the problem [09:31] pbx2: what is unclean about the ubuntu build [09:31] pbx2, erm if you run the official version it still loads the Ubuntu modifications [09:32] pbx2: what is the actual problem with the ubuntu build [09:32] pbx2, as they are plugins/extensions [09:32] Lubuntu doesn't include Firefox [09:32] pbx2: so install it from the ubuntu repo [09:32] pbx2, and? apt-get install firefox? [09:32] so that means I can get a clean version if I don't touch ubuntu repo [09:32] pbx2: no it doesn't [09:33] pbx2, you're in the Ubuntu repo when you use Lubuntu [09:33] pbx2: please explain what is wrong with using the ubuntu package ?

[09:35] ring0, yes [09:36] WarOfTheNerd, ok, but only if you install per user not system-wide [09:36] 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] 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..

[09:37] 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] WarOfTheNerd, how nasty :) [09:37] ring0, it's clean, firefox was made to be installed per-user [09:37] ring0, it's distros which hack it to be otherwise [09:38] if you're a limited user on Windows, it will even install per-user [09:38] WarOfTheNerd, i guess nobody in here cares about windows ;) [09:38] well yeah >_> [09:38] but then no-one in here should care for using official tarballs either [09:39] unless they're gonna protest Ubuntu's stupid decision not to use an ESR build for an LTS [09:39] ESR? [09:39] ESR is the Enterprise Stable Release [09:39] its more buzzword compliant [09:39] it has years of support rather than months [09:40] consider it to be Firefox LTS [09:40] well I protesting Ubuntu's decision to go with Unity interface :) === haneefmubarak is now known as HaneefMubarak [09:40] pbx2, I use MATE for that reason [09:40] WarOfTheNerd, exactly, nobody should care for tarballs in here [09:40] i protest your protesting. [09:41] Good morning all [09:41] ring0, indeed. I might just build a Firefox ESR package today if I get time [09:41] there is firefox and firefox-bin [09:41] pbx2, firefox [09:41] ok [09:42] firefox IIRC is a wrapper that lets you re-execute if firefox is already open to make a new window [09:42] so you should always use that [09:42] I hope I can paste here 2 lines :) [09:42] pbx@pbx-7678:~/Downloads/firefox$ sudo sh ./firefox [09:42] ./firefox: 1: ./firefox: Syntax error: "(" unexpected [09:42] pbx2, why sudo? [09:42] pbx2: you need to contact mozilla if there is a problem with their binary install [09:42] pbx2: don't use sudo, don't use sh .... [09:43] pbx2, ./firefox is all you need [09:43] pbx2: and, don't use tarballs and ask for support here [09:43] then I get this: bash: ./firefox: No such file or directory [09:43] pbx2, chmod 755 ./firefox [09:43] pbx2: check your directory you are in ;) [09:43] then try ./firefox [09:44] is there any one who knows Github [09:44] pbx2: you try to run 32bit firefox on 64bit system or vice versa? [09:44] pbx2, also make sure you're in the right directory as dr--willis points out [09:44] llutz, 64-bit on 32-bit not doable xD [09:44] I am in the right directory, see my 2 lines above [09:44] i thought firefox extacted to a firefox-some0versionnumber [09:44] WarOfTheNerd: no shit sherlock [09:45] I m using 64 bit distro [09:45] pbx2, chmod 755 firefox && ./firefox [09:45] pbx2: and the firefox you use is 32bit? you lack ia32libs [09:45] there's only a 32-bit official firefox [09:45] and he's being silly, he should use the package rather than using the crippled official build [09:46] pbx2, the guys in #firefox are sure happy to support their binary install [09:46] ia32libs gonna check synaptic if I am missing that [09:46] ring0, hah! Even they aren't really... they prefer people to use the supported version for their OS [09:46] ring0, the only acceptable time would be if someone used Debian or another distro not permitted to build as Mozilla Firefox === batmania_ is now known as batmania [09:47] WarOfTheNerd, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016125/ [09:47] WarOfTheNerd, i was being ironic [09:47] pbx2: I have no idea why you are making this so hard/complex for yourself, and why you won't use the Firefox version supported by ubuntu [09:47] hello [09:48] Even better, why not use chromium or chrome? [09:48] pbx2, you're lacking 32-bit support [09:48] good morning. I have read that LibreOffice can save in .ppt extension but not in my case. Must be installed something again? [09:48] ketis: Hi. [09:48] intore: Save as and select PowerPoint (.ppt) in LibeOffice Impress. [09:49] *LibreOffice. === xscc is now known as m00se === m00se is now known as Guest87028 [09:50] pbx2, you can't run it because you are lacking 32-bit binary support [09:50] I am looking at downloading ia32-libs vs. Intel IA32/IA64 CPU Microcode Utility [09:50] how I know whether I have ubuntu or xubuntu installed? [09:50] it is somewhere in /etc/ ? [09:50] I will get both :) [09:51] the microcode utility has nothing to do with that situation [09:51] pbx2: can you please explain why you won't use the Ubuntu supplied version === karthik is now known as Guest42844 [09:52] ircnode0: why does it matter? pretty sure "lsb_release -a" won't show difference between ubuntu/xubuntu... maybe? [09:52] 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] ikonia, because 2 versions back I remember they locked down even about:crashes [09:52] pbx2: try it [09:52] pbx2, it works [09:52] tried it here [09:52] I don't canocial customizing my firefox.... [09:52] yeah it works now...but where do the bug reports go? [09:52] pbx2: canonical don't [09:52] pbx2: they don't customise it [09:52] I'm trying to add Irssi to startup on my server but it WONT work.. really annoying.. anyway, here's the RC.local entry which doesnt work - > /bin/su cc -c "/usr/bin/screen -dmS irc_logger /usr/bin/irssi" [09:52] pbx2, to Mozilla and to Launchpad [09:53] ive installed every bloody single package that is even remotely related to zlib [09:53] and still cmake says it cant find the headers/library === ubuntu is now known as Guest30581 [09:53] 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] zykotick9: just want to get information [09:53] is there any way to copy data out of it? [09:53] it mounts but with io errors [09:54] 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] ikonia, i'll look at the firefox package in a sec just to see what patches are there :P [09:54] Guest30581: if you hard disk has errors, the data will have errors, there is no way around that [09:54] ircnode0: beside what they install by default - they are the same thing [09:54] WarOfTheNerd: they are pretty much just some compatability stuff, there is nothing of "concern" [09:54] ikonia, even the home page is ubuntu's version... [09:54] pbx2: that's just the default home page - just change it to what you want [09:54] Hello where are kernel modules kept on ubunutu LTS? [09:55] I looked in /lib/modules/`uname -r'/ but there is just a modules.dep [09:55] So where are they? [09:55] its corrupted!!! who knows what other backdoors they put in :) [09:55] pbx2: it is NOT corrupted [09:55] O.o [09:55] roundyz, more than just modules.dep here [09:55] pbx2: the default home page is a personal config setting in your personal config file, [09:55] breaking news: ubuntu is actually owned by microsoft?!~!!111 [09:55] I have default:group::rwx on my directory and am logged in as root. When I "touch bla", bla gets the permissions: -rw-rw-r--+ . Any clue? [09:56] /EndTrollFeeding [09:56] WhereIsMySpoon: please don't [09:56] really, stop with the conspiracies [09:56] ikonia, it was sarcasm [09:56] WhereIsMySpoon: I know, but it will just fuel more of the same [09:56] llutz_, yea =/ [09:56] WarOfTheNerd: Thats what I expected. but even in the other versions of kernels on the machine it is the same. [09:56] ikonia, oki :) [09:56] Guest30581, you could take a look at ddrescue from package gddrescue [09:56] roundyz, maybe it's in lib64 or the like :| [09:56] 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? =/ [09:57] roundyz, i'm only on 32-bit.. maybe they made a hack or the like with their latest changes to multiarch [09:57] WhereIsMySpoon: why don't you look at the eval test it's doing to verify zliv [09:57] 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] zlib [09:57] ikonia..? [09:57] where is that [09:57] 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] WarOfTheNerd: just zcat /proc/config.gz| grep M, it looks monolithic. [09:57] i know zilch about cmake [09:57] WhereIsMySpoon: what are you trying to build ? [09:57] ikonia, gemrb [09:57] no, it isnt ruby [09:58] !info gemrb [09:58] Package gemrb does not exist in precise [09:58] it has its own repo [09:58] but i cant apt-get install it [09:58] WhereIsMySpoon: look at what that test is, and why it's failing [09:58] thanks ring0 [09:58] 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] roundyz, no file found for me with that [09:58] roundyz, but cat /boot/config-3.2.0-24-generic-pae | grep m gives me a lot of lines [09:59] 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] roundyz, as it's lower case m for modules in most config files :P [09:59] I installed jre from ubuntu repository...but it doesn't work on default chrome which was included in Lubuntu 64 bit? [09:59] ikonia, in CMakeLists.txt there is a test for zlib, but it only says IF(ZLIB_FOUND) =/ [09:59] and imcludes (FindZLIB) [09:59] openjdk jre [09:59] pbx2, you need icedtea [09:59] pbx2, openjdk jre doesn't include the plugin, the icedtea project provides the plugin [10:00] WarOfTheNerd, thanks [10:00] pbx2, sudo apt-get icedtea6-plugin [10:00] try that [10:00] err [10:00] sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin * [10:00] my bad [10:00] XD [10:00] WarOfTheNerd: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:01] ikonia, i found in the gemrb.spec.in it requires 'zlib-devel' [10:01] which doesnt exist [10:01] i tried to apt-get install it but it doesnt find an alternative either [10:01] still waiting for the 200+ lib32 packages to install :) [10:02] www.World-Room.Tk Best International Chat [10:02] www.World-Room.Tk Best International Chat [10:02] www.World-Room.Tk Best International Chat [10:02] EREVANSKI: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:02] ikonia, it may have errors, but a lot of stuff is just photos or word processing stuff [10:02] Question? , does somebody have a link, how to setup Ubuntu 12.04 as router with 2 networkcards? [10:03] 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] woohoo my clean version of Firefox is now up and running :) [10:04] I would ask my local community wireless group that kind of thing [10:04] !ics [10:04] 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] pbx2, so clean that it's more vulnerable to intrusions [10:04] pbx2, and so clean it doesn't have an apparmor profile protecting it anymore :/ [10:04] it just needed ia32-lib + the 200 other libraries it needed [10:05] pbx2, and so clean it's slower and wastes RAM for no benefit [10:05] I thought Linux was "secure" ? [10:05] 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] pbx2: it is [10:05] pbx2: you are making it less secure with what you are doing [10:05] it is looking in jdk 6 dir [10:05] try to apt-get install zlib1g-dev [10:05] adhown, i have all the zlib packages [10:05] hi [10:05] i installed 12.04 in virtual box [10:06] after installing guest additions, desktop actually seems to work *worse* [10:06] any ideas? [10:06] oh SKLADJSADKLASD [10:06] wtf [10:06] rofl [10:06] neure, use Unity 2D on it [10:06] WhereIsMySpoon: ok, enough now [10:06] adhown, i just built zlib from source [10:06] and it worked [10:06] first time [10:06] WhereIsMySpoon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:06] WhereIsMySpoon: pull back the language, [10:06] ^^d good job [10:06] WhereIsMySpoon: well, if you've built it from source, you may well have compromised your machine [10:06] ikonia, wait a second? why is my Firefox build vulnerable? vs. the one that is Ubuntu's rep? [10:06] WarOfTheNerd, thats the thing, i think installing guest additions switched my desktop to use unity 2d [10:07] and i think it wasnt before [10:07] pbx2: no apparmour porfile for one.. [10:07] profile [10:07] how can i switch back to full unity or whatever it is called? [10:07] pbx2, it is 32-bit which gives you less protection in terms of randomising memory locations [10:07] ikonia, have you never built anything from source? [10:07] 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] WhereIsMySpoon: yes [10:07] WhereIsMySpoon: I have built things from source many times [10:07] ikonia, then wahts the problem [10:07] what is this apparmour profile? [10:08] WhereIsMySpoon: well, I do it in a controlled manner and not blindly [10:08] I was joking regarding the backdoor...I am sure someone went over the source code right ? :) [10:08] pbx2, AppArmour (Application Armour) is a system which protects you from malware and system compromise by restricting the privileges of applications [10:08] ikonia, controlled == ? [10:08] pbx2: give me a valid reason why you do not want to use the ubuntu packaged firefox [10:08] oh damn… just lost a 500gb of data :( [10:09] D: [10:09] pbx2, basically, it says firefox can only do certain things and anything outside of those approved things is denied [10:09] 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] you mean sandboxing tech. [10:09] pbx2, it's not a sandbox, it's better than a sandbox [10:10] pbx2, it's a white-list based mandatory access control system [10:10] 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* [10:11] pbx2, look at this: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XxqHKY5F [10:11] pbx2, this is an apparmor profile [10:12] anyone [10:12] ? [10:12] anyonewhat? [10:12] pbx2, it stops firefox writing to anywhere outside where it is expected to write for normal operation [10:13] pbx2, for example it can write to Downloads but not to Documents when it's enabled [10:13] 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] pbx2, so malware couldn't just trash your docs/pics/videos and such [10:14] WarOfTheNerd: http://i.imgur.com/Y7b1W.png [10:14] does ubuntu come with a firewall pre-installed? === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [10:14] pbx2: it has iptables installed by default [10:14] pbx2: ye, ipatbles [10:14] pbx2: although there is no rule set in place, [10:14] !ufu | pbx2 [10:14] !ufw | pbx2 [10:14] 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. [10:15] pbx2, it has one built-in but it's not enabled by default as it doesn't need to be [10:15] well I guess I need to enable mine now [10:15] pbx2, the only systems that need a firewall by default are Solaris and Windows [10:16] pbx2, no you don't need to unless you're running stuff that's massively insecure [10:16] pbx2: why so paranoic? you know what? Linux !=windows [10:16] Chuck_Norris: windows is not insecure, please don't miss-lead users [10:16] 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] the OS you use is as secure as you make it [10:16] ikonia, by default it's insecure [10:17] no, I'm sorry, it's not [10:17] 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] so ? [10:17] ikonia, as in there was no security on its remote admin by default by design [10:17] WarOfTheNerd: I'm not interested in this stuff [10:18] join ##windows if you want to debate it [10:18] ikonia, so it's fair to say Windows is insecure by default [10:18] (because it is_ [10:18] WarOfTheNerd: I'm sorry but it's not, it's as secure as you make it [10:18] ikonia: unfortunately they lowered UAC by one to be default [10:18] ikonia, yes, but by default it is insecure [10:18] so now my firefox build is vulnerable to buffer overflow exploits...because I built it from the tar [10:18] WarOfTheNerd: join ##windows if you want to debate it, I'm not interestd [10:18] pbx2: why are you regusing to use the ubuntu package ? [10:19] 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] ikonia, then why disagree with something which is known fact? :| [10:19] WarOfTheNerd: because it's not [10:20] ikonia: if windows doesnt use an AV what's? [10:20] Chuck_Norris: I'm sorry, that doesn't make any sense, and I'm not interested in a windows discussion in this channel [10:21] ok [10:22] 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 [10:23] ever* [10:23] WarOfTheNerd: enough [10:24] Is there a way to make the oem config skip the user creation question? I don't need that bit [10:25] WarOfTheNerd: xD IIS a couple of day a saw how to DOS an IIS server last version and suddenly BSOD [10:25] joelio, do you mean when you're installing? [10:25] !ot | Chuck_Norris [10:25] 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] joelio, if so that user gets erased post-install [10:25] Chuck_Norris: can you stop that please? we are not interested in such discussions here [10:26] 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] I therefore don't need a local user account [10:26] ok, i'll stop it =P this is the CVE MS12-020 -.- [10:26] joelio, I could be wrong but I think the OEM mode is for home-user shipping, not for enterprise [10:27] Problem Solved by editing .bashrc file [10:27] joelio, at work, the best way is to customise an install and then image it across [10:27] WarOfTheNerd: Yea, but it's a handy tool to allow configuration of the system [10:27] WarOfTheNerd: No, I already have my PXE booting, automated environment. [10:27] There's different users that are difficult to manage programatically [10:28] therefore I needa simple post install script that runs on first boot [10:28] the user just sets their keyboard/language [10:28] I can write another gui to do this, just trying to save time [10:28] might need to hack on it a bit in that case [10:28] hi. does anyone know of a SSL Proxy server? [10:28] WarOfTheNerd: Yea, that's what I'm thinking [10:28] krad: please don't ask for that in here [10:29] please tell me any tool for converting my outlook mail to thunderbird [10:29] ikonia, i want to set up my own ssl proxy server [10:29] ikonia, not asking for a public one [10:29] ikonia, why not? it's for his own Ubuntu install [10:29] joelio: can you not create a standard user and then remove it as part of the post-install [10:29] squid doesnt work for me so far .. i want to try other programs [10:29] WarOfTheNerd: because I thought he was asking for a public one [10:29] ikonia: It's not the isssue... the issue is the oem-config asking to create a user [10:29] krad: squid does work fine as an SSL proxy [10:30] joelio: I see [10:30] the user doesn't need an account as they have one in kerberos [10:30] ikonia, nope .. [10:30] ikonia, wasted losts of time trying to set it up [10:30] krad, I might be wrong but Polipo might do SSL [10:30] polipo, ok. will check that [10:30] 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] krad: I've done it before, so I know it works [10:31] ruman read this http://www.twistermc.com/1376/outlook-thunderbird/ [10:31] WarOfTheNerd, does look like polipo supports ssl [10:32] where can i get more themes?

I'm runnig 12.04 and faced the following problem: when I enter a command (ex. ls) and type path, TAB button inserts a whitespace symbol after any directory, it's just terrible, impossible to work at all! Ex. I type ls /e[press TAB]tc <-- here is the space! please help;( [13:02] but the script hangs on package require udp 1.0.6 === thedoor is now known as TheDoorOfChurras === TheDoorOfChurras is now known as TheDoor [13:03] i have a server with nfs homedir, and a script on the server. the clients call the script via cron to get the login duration of the users via 'ac' in the 'acct' package [13:03] to present them on a web ui === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [13:03] i have something like a poor mans ldap setup [13:03] #tcl [13:03] Inspiral: ah ok. [13:03] need help with the 12.04 unity Launcher... I have crossover office installed to provide MS office for students. I have tried to add excel and word to the launchbar with no success. what I did was put excel and word on the desktop by dragging the links from the menu.. then via cli, I did an ls on the Desktop of the user to get the xxx.desktop link. With crossover the .desktop filename is long (cxmenu-cxoffice-704a91b4-7f35-4684-9722-7b3415bd9c9d-1qv24ea-Micros [13:04] bieb, is open/libre office no good ? [13:06] Inspiral: MS office is required by the school and crossover works well.. I just need to add the links to the launcher [13:06] I've got a strange problem, when I change my old printer HP6L's resolution setting to "600dpi*600dpi"(300x300 by default), it will only print continuous jobs. Once I stop printing, the printer will no longer be available to print. When I unplugged it and replugged it, it works again... [13:07] asd [13:07] im not familiar with cx, but with wine its just "wine ~/.wine/drive_c/installdir/word.exe" or whatever [13:07] maybe something similar with cx ? [13:08] Inspiral: so it doesn't have to be a .desktop file to be in the launcher? [13:08] yeh, make one [13:08] make one manually on a local machine then distribute it to the others [13:09] Inspiral: as a desktop shortcut.. not in the launcher bar?

[13:14] Hi, I'm having issues getting Ubuntu's bootloader showing up after Mageia's old grub1.9* showed up instead and isn't showing ubuntu, I've chrooted ubuntu and ran update-grub but mageia's bootloader is still there, helps [13:15] resolve.conf exists, appears to be correct [13:15] etc... [13:15] if someone could take a look at http://pastebin.com/M2ReD6Xt i would really appreciate it [13:16] defunkt 169.254 is an automatic ip address, it's not your router or so [13:17] look at wlan1 [13:17] and routes point to that [13:17] defunkt: I missed your actualy question. Is dns not resolving names? [13:17] correct pici [13:18] i wouldnt consider myself new to ubuntu... but for the life of me im having issues tracking this down [13:19] folks I am trying to use awk in a script to isolate a variable… df | awk '/test/ {print $4}` gives me what i want… but i can't seem to figure out how to set it to a variable. [13:20] cuit, update-grub only updates grub.cfg in the /boot folder. if you want to use ubuntu's grub you need to grub-install [13:20] variable=$(df | awk '/test/ {print $4}`) [13:20] escott: damn i didnt do that, thanks. [13:20] defunkt: thanks, will try [13:21] you can set "variable" to anything you want... i just used that [13:21] apparently apt-get segfaults when you try to install like 2000 packages [13:21] I doubt my graphics card driver problem, NVIDIA9600mgs [13:21] Sazpaimon_: what happens if you split it? same behaviour?

[13:22] Inspiral: is there a way to look at the items in the launchbar? If I can drag/pin excel to the launcher bar, can I looks at the code for the launchbar and see how it is listed? === Marqin_ is now known as Marqin [13:22] chenyuwei: you should install 295.53 driver version [13:22] MonkeyDust, Pici , any other suggestions off the top of your head? thanks for any input btw [13:23] 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] defunkt: Are you just having problems with red.mchs.com? or other domains as well? [13:23] fidel_, will that give any decent output? I wouldn't think that i would have any debugging symbols [13:23] Pici, all dns names do not resolve [13:23] fidel_, I'm trying to reinstall every package in my system after a hard drive crash [13:23] however the dns server is local, up and running, and working for another computer on the same wifi network, same pi range, etc [13:23] and also running ubuntu 10.04 [13:23] 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] 1196 packages also segfaults [13:23] although it is different hardware [13:24] 742 packages also segfaults? what the [13:24] defunkt: If you use a different dns server, does that work? doing something like: dig yahoo.com @8.8.8.8 [13:24] let me try aptitude [13:24] defunkt: Reboot? [13:24] gvo, did, twice... [13:24] OK [13:25] gvo, thanks, thought of that cuz it was a laptop [13:25] Pici, both internal dns server fail to work... let me try an external one real quick [13:25] defunkt: when all else fails ... [13:25] what's the command to install install-grub ? [13:25] install grub* [13:25] im confused as to what the problem is as dns should 'just work' [13:26] defunkt: Could be that the nameserver you are using is defective. Just try another. [13:26] cuit, grub-install [13:26] defunkt: firewall? [13:26] cuit, sudo grub-install /dev/sdX [13:26] defunkt: Or, yes, could be blocked, but try another and see.

See you soon!" ? [13:30] hello everyone [13:30] dodemeindo: Hello [13:30] defunkt: You don't need to change resolv.conf to test whether you can resolve via another dns server, just type: dig av.com @8.8.8.8 [13:30] I install ubuntu12.04, there is a system setting, accessory drive video card is automatically installed. [13:30] defunkt: What is the port for nameservers? Port 50? Run nmap and see if you get a repsonse from port 52 [13:30] GeoGeek: sounds like it doenst see a need to change something [13:31] it's 52, right?

[13:34] also memory vs disk, memory wins in speed [13:34] gvo: because his netmask is 255.255.0.0 [13:34] testdisk ftw. thanks [13:34] vfw: right... thanks [13:34] Chuch_Norris: what is priopretary driver?

[15:51] ohhh [15:52] MonkeyDust, it does for ubuntu 10.10 [15:52] LoboX: I still run 10.04 and that's all we needed to do is edit /etc/network/interfaces [15:52] delchi: You could try compiling it yourself if it's not in the repositories anymore. Providing it doesn't use an obsolete interface to the kernel or something...

[15:58] ceti331__: can pass as either a light IDE or just a text editor [15:58] harris contact the maintainer of that ppa, maybe she/he will help [15:58] csioktel: I used radvd and something else [15:59] OerHeks, how do i get it for ubuntu 12.04 [15:59] ok i've heard that recomendationelsewhere i guess i should try it [15:59] sounds like what i am after. [15:59] Harris READ it is out of date, so not. [15:59] I think so [15:59] blargh [15:59] so many error messages :) === Guest44717 is now known as Dorito [15:59] sacarlson: ok, thank you, i'll try it [15:59] csioktel: part of the config had to do with handling ipv4 addresses over ipv6 [15:59] how do i get it for ubuntu 12.04 [15:59] <`prixon> hello [16:00] sacarlson: ipv4 over ipv6? do you mean ipv6 over ipv4? [16:00] csioktel: but I couldn't get windows system to work on an ipv6 only system, they wanted a dual stack ipv4 and ipv6 [16:01] <`prixon> how can I check if i915 is and ASPM is enabled? [16:01] csioktel: no it was an only ipv6 system so it still needed to translate ipv4 addresses to ipv6 [16:01] sacarlson: yes, i want support native ipv6, not tunnel [16:01] can you run ubuntu 10.10 software on ubuntu 12.04 [16:02] Hey guys [16:02] sacarlson: ok, it's fine, i have both. [16:02] Harris: I guess if you run it in a virtual box, but most would be ported to 12.04 [16:02] 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] is this something feasible [16:02] or should I wait till I'm more experienced [16:03] ok [16:03] looks like this one is a lost cause. [16:03] Thanks for the assist though. [16:03] Qasaur: just do it, if you want [16:03] Is it possible that I might fuck up and make things even more difficult? [16:04] I don't want to hinder anyones efforts here. [16:04] Qasaur: That's feasible. There was a "papercut" project to identify simple issues to fix, you might want to look at those. [16:04] Huh? What do you mean [16:04] Qasaur: there are thousands of bugs to fix, if you can fix any of them go for it [16:04] 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] Ah I see [16:04] so basically I fix the bug and someone else merges the fix to the main trunk? [16:05] so someone else verifies my changes [16:05] Yes [16:05] What Iv'e got is an old program for CLI based control of mini LED signs. It relies on libhid0 , I'm thinking I'll write the author and see if he can adjust it. [16:05] 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) [16:06] Qasaur: you can publish your changes on ppa or github.com if people like it they will adapt to it [16:06] freenode sucks [16:06] wait, doesn't ubuntu use launchpad and not githu? [16:06] github* [16:07] Qasaur, yes launchpad. github is for private projects. [16:07] Qasaur: yes ppa would be the way to go but on github you can have groups of people working on it [16:07] Thanks again for the help, and moreso thanks for help w/out the " noob beating ". I appreciate it. [16:07] I see [16:07] sacarlson im checking a couple of things ill keep u updated in case i fix this but stoppinmg the network manager, didn't release my static ip i start it again [16:07] where should I put a script that must be run on startup? [16:07] Is this something a beginner should do to learn? Fixing bugs? [16:08] LoboX: no I see that the dhclient is your problem you can also stop that [16:08] NickASloan: why must it be [16:08] ok [16:08] Is there a way to cancel a install happening in the software center? [16:08] Qasaur, i do not expect beginners to fix bugs, i hope beginners are capable of filing a bugreport. [16:09] truepurple: could be problematic depending on what you're installing and at what point it's at [16:09] 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] OerHeks: I mean a programming beginner, not an ubuntu beginner [16:09] yandex839 , if its still downloading the files, how can I stop it? [16:09] Qasaur: Be advised that bug reports or even bug fixes aren't always looked at in a timely fashion by the Ubuntu developers. Bug fixes can sit unexamined for months on ocassion... [16:10] i need help with making a fake password for an account in ubuntu [16:10] yandex839: There's usually a cancel button. If CLI, control + C [16:10] truepurple: There's usually a cancel button. If CLI, control + C [16:10] Qasaur, if you can, go for it ! remember, you are not alone to verify & test bugfixes [16:11] yandex839, What is CLI? [16:11] truepurple: command line interface [16:11] truepurple: If you're doing it from the terminal [16:11] hi all [16:11] yandex839, AS I asked from the beginning, how do I cancel such from the software center, non way to do so? [16:11] truepurple: don't cancel in the middle of an install [16:11] i need help with making a fake password for an account in ubuntu [16:11] im currenlty porting a C++ engine from windows to linux [16:11] Harris: gake password ? [16:11] I have some questions [16:11] anyone? [16:12] ikonia, fake [16:12] Dardan: the guys in ##c++ would probably be best [16:12] Harris: fake password? [16:12] truepurple: Run the command "xkill" in command line, then click the software center [16:12] Harris: what do you mean a fake password [16:12] ok [16:12] Dardan: #friendly-coders [16:12] #C++ [16:12] truepurple: careful, don't kill software center while it's installing something [16:12] Dardan: or #programming [16:12] Dardan: ##c++ [16:12] how to connect to these? [16:12] in the book little brother [16:12] Dardan: /join ##c++ [16:12] im new to irc freenode ;p [16:12] thank [16:12] Harris: sorry don't know what you are asking [16:12] yandex839, you mean click the tab of software center? [16:13] the boy makes a fake partion for his phone and when you type in the fake password only certain files come up [16:13] harris: just spell it the way it sound "f a k e" [16:13] truepurple: With xkill you click the window itself you want to immediately kill. But like ikonia said, if it's started installing it may screw things up [16:13] how do i do that is ubuntu 12.04 [16:13] Harris: ok - that's nothing to do with ubuntu [16:13] yandex839, ok thanks [16:14] i want to do it in ubuntu [16:14] truepurple: is there a reason you want to cancel it (has it given an error or anything) [16:15] sacarlson how do i stop the dhclient [16:15] i tried sudo service dhclint stop [16:15] dhclient* [16:15] Another issue, I need flash version 11.2 or latter to run a game, but firefox has only 11.1, and says it is up to date, chrome has a even earlier version of flash installed in it. also chrome is a bit behind in version numbers itself. Now alot of this takes me to a adobe download page, but there are 3 different download options and I got no clue how to install any of em after downloading [16:16] truepurple: there is normally a "readme" in the tar file === root is now known as Guest94566 [16:16] sacarlson ok we have progress the eth0 interface have the static ip from the interfaces file >:) [16:16] truepurple: you basically move the library into the plugins directory in your firefox directory in your home dir and restart firefox [16:16] that happen when i stoped the network-manager like you said [16:16] truepurple: but the README or INSTALL file in the tar will give you exact locations/instructions [16:16] I have been using Ubuntu 11.10 for quite a while now. I could access internet via wired network of my college(which uses a proxy) a couple of days before. [16:17] ikonia, ok, and which download do I use, I got ubuntu 11.4 [16:17] truepurple: what are you options ? [16:17] Suddenly, I cannot access net via wired connection. I can access the wireless connection, though. [16:17] I have a triple boot system, running Ubuntu 11.10, Debian 6.0.5 and Windows 7. [16:17] truepurple: (be aware as well, as flash may still not work with your game after installing it) [16:17] I can access internet via wireless though all three of them, but not through wired connection on Ubuntu and Debian. [16:17] jobinar: Have you done system updates recently? it's possible your kernel was updated and there was a regression? [16:17] Here's the link to the information I get when I do an ifconfig: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016557/ [16:18] Please help! [16:18] ikonia, http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?no_redirect please see for yourself [16:18] Harris: read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deniable_encryption and try to setup the software you need for it [16:18] jobinar i dont see any ips in the eth0 interface [16:18] truepurple: that page detects your OS and offers you options based on your host [16:18] truepurple: I'm running a different system from you, so I'll see different options [16:19] Ok one moment [16:19] truepurple: hence why I'm asking what your options (what you see is) [16:19] LoboX: I have added all the info i get on the paste [16:19] is something missing? [16:19] jobinar have you tried adding the ip manually? [16:19] what do i do to get ips, LoboX ? [16:20] ok who is providing the dhcp, your wifi router right? === lub` is now known as lubmil [16:20] ikonia, YUM for linux (YUM) [16:20] .tar.gz for other Linux [16:20] .rpm for other Linux [16:20] Alright [16:20] yes, LoboX [16:20] you have a cat5 cable connected to your box right no in the ethernet port [16:20] I was scanning new bugs on Launchpad [16:21] and I saw this [16:21] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1006984 [16:21] what is cat5? [16:21] Launchpad bug 1006984 in Ubuntu "the computer told me to report a bug to the developers i am now trying to do so" [Undecided,New] [16:21] how does one deal with something like this? [16:21] truepurple: ok, the only one you can really use is the tar [16:21] ethrnet cable [16:21] ethrnet* [16:21] ethernet* [16:21] yes [16:22] ok it seems your eth0 is not resolving your dhcp information thats why is not working over cable [16:22] LoboX: No i have not tried manually adding the ip [16:22] truepurple: why not install Flash from the repositories? [16:22] how do i rectify that, LoboX ? [16:22] do it manually then and check [16:23] how do i make want another account to open with the same username but differnet password [16:23] i do not have an individual ip, LoboX, its a shared network.... [16:23] so how do i add it manually? [16:23] mneptok, Maybe I have and it didnt work, or maybe I don't know how. I did the update/upgrade thing and that didn't work [16:23] i m on my College network [16:23] truepurple: have you tried installing the package "flashplugin-nonfree" ? === Administrator_ is now known as bot1042 [16:23] Harris: you can't [16:23] how do i make want another account to open with the same username but differnet password [16:24] yes you can [16:24] truepurple: you need to enable the "partner" repository, then update, then install the "adobe-flashplugin" package [16:24] Harris: you can have the same cosmetic name [16:24] ikonia, I probably did that to get flash initially, and I assume update/upgrade would keep it updated [16:24] Harris: but the actual /home/THISNAME/ must be unique [16:24] mneptok, how do I do that? [16:24] truepurple: no, it doesn't always update, especially on older releases, [16:24] Harris: usermod -c, basically === mrk is now known as Guest55951 [16:24] truepurple: is this a 64 bit system? [16:25] truepurple: if you've already done it, you won't need to do it again [16:25] mneptok, yes, 11.4 ubuntu [16:25] jobinar does anybody else is able to connect via cable? [16:25] or is just you [16:25] truepurple: can you do a "dpkg -l | grep flash" please just to confirm if the package is installed [16:25] truepurple: first, "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree" [16:25] reiso step by step please [16:25] truepurple: see what that returns [16:25] i dont want the new one to show up [16:26] ikonia, ii flashplugin-installer 11.1.102.55ubuntu0.11.04.1 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer [16:26] jobinar, have you registered your MAC address with the school? thats often a requirement [16:26] Harris: what, from the login screen? [16:26] truepurple: good to know, thank you [16:26] that'd probably take some lightdm reconfiguring [16:26] yes [16:26] yes escott , i have [16:26] i have been using the College network for a year now [16:26] truepurple: "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer" [16:26] mneptok, So I don't have to actually remove it to do as you ask? [16:26] what i dont see is the information on eth0 [16:26] truepurple: you should remove as mneptok is telling you [16:27] is blank no ip info [16:27] how do i get that LoboX ? [16:27] 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] if its by dhcp is auto [16:27] truepurple: my suggestion gets you the 64 bit native plugin [16:27] ya its auto [16:28] i have not added ip manually, neither in Ubuntu nor in Debian nor in Windows [16:28] ok what you need to do is, verify if anybody else is able to connect via cable on your room [16:28] 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] yes they can [16:28] ok [16:28] truepurple: uname -a [16:28] truepurple: can you paste the output of that command please.

[16:29] I also have lots of other troubles with flash too, [16:29] ok I will mneptok [16:29] truepurple: "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer" [16:29] jobinar ok so check nano /etc/network/interfaces [16:30] ya what should there be, LoboX ? [16:30] mneptok, "Package flashplugin-nonfree is not installed, so not removed" [16:30] its a two line file [16:30] i had once checked that [16:30] truepurple: great. are you comfortable using a text editor in the command line (e.g. nano)? [16:30] ok just wanted to know if you change any information there [16:30] mneptok, I have before, and I can try my best [16:31] guess not [16:31] truepurple: nah, just open the "Synaptic Package Manager" app === EvanR_ is now known as EvanR [16:31] i can, LoboX using sudo authority, right? [16:31] yes [16:31] but what should i change, Lobox? [16:31] mneptok, done [16:32] truepurple: from the menu. Settings>Repositories [16:32] done [16:32] dont change nothing, just want to know what info you had there [16:32] truepurple: the "Other Software" tab [16:32] truepurple: check the box next to "Canonical Partners" [16:33] i will have to reboot, please hang on === hari is now known as Guest33644 [16:33] mneptok, there are two such entries, one with source code in it, and one without [16:34] truepurple: the "source" one is optional. in the case of Flash, you can't get the source anyway === Guest33644 is now known as harikt [16:34] mneptok, ok I checked the box, click ok? [16:34] truepurple: yessir [16:34] I mean close, ok done [16:35] truepurple: close up Synaptic, open a terminal and paste this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [16:35] mneptok, now reload repository? [16:35] mneptok, don't I need to do something first since the repository changed? === root____2 is now known as xzerox [16:35] truepurple: the "apt-get update" does that [16:36] I assume you want me to run the line too. [16:36] truepurple: paste what i put above [16:36] then, enter, right? [16:36] truepurple: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [16:37] truepurple: yes. [16:37] good evening [16:37] mneptok, ok, done, now why is this a better option then downloading from adobe? [16:37] anyone who has experience in KVM who might help me in a couple of questions? [16:37] truepurple: because any future updates will be automatic. [16:38] Here's the link, LoboX http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016600/ [16:38] mneptok, it is ok for my browser to be up while this is happening, right? [16:38] 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] truepurple: sure, but the broswer may not "see" the plugin until it is closed and restarted. [16:39] How is flash dead on linux? [16:39] adobe is giving up. ;) [16:39] truepurple: Adobe has discontinued development of the Linux plugin. [16:39] hello [16:39] hi [16:40] Hi [16:40] mneptok, Is the linux community filling the void at all, or plan to? [16:40] hi [16:40] How can I enable the pinch gesture on my touchpad with ubuntu? [16:41] my Speakers are working ok...but no sound in headphones [16:41] 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] 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] I updated precise this morning and now my sound does not work, but the speakers make a continual popping noise [16:41] anyone else seeing something like that? [16:41] is there an easy way to turn off upstart services from booting? [16:41] a quick google just gave me links saying o just comment out files under /etc/init.d [16:41] but that sounds daft [16:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016607/ <-- do this [16:42] and restart your interfaced [16:42] interface [16:42] There is this page: http://askubuntu.com/questions/11300/how-do-i-test-multi-gesture-capabilities-of-a-touchpad [16:42] 1 sec , LoboX . [16:42] mneptok, Will what I did apply to chrome too? [16:42] truepurple: yes. [16:42] jamescarr, upstart scripts are in /etc/init/ the old sysv ones are in the init.d and other rc# dirs [16:42] whats the name of the network security/penetration testing linux distro? [16:43] Dr_willis, regardless, whats the "right" way to disable em? [16:43] 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] but I don't understand what set-prop is related to the pinch [16:43] NastyNaz: not really an Ubuntu support question. thus offtopic. [16:43] Any ideas? [16:43] Dr_willis, but I still want it to run if I call "service foo start" [16:43] for sysv - you nromally remove the LINK in the rc# that you want them disabled. [16:43] 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] NastyNaz: but i'm pretty sure Wolfram Alpha could parse that natural language question with a simple CTL-C CTL-V [16:44] jamescarr, never really noticed. you may need to edit the .conf file if thats what you want to do [16:44] Dr_willis, thanks. Google led me to the chkconfig tool [16:44] gonna check it o ut [16:45] 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] exit [16:45] truepurple: correction, .mozilla [16:46] <`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 [16:47] mneptok, move it where? [16:47] truepurple: anywhere but where it is. :) [16:47] mneptok, also the libflashplayer.so file? [16:47] do ubuntu come with a built in rdp server? [16:47] truepurple: yes, that is the actual plugin. and it's NOT the one you just got from the repositories. [16:48] mneptok, then what is flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710.tar.gz? [16:48] 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] mneptok, so I can safely delete these files? [16:48] truepurple: the tar.gz is the compressed plugin you got off the web. [16:49] truepurple: sure, you can delete them [16:49] truepurple: restart Chrome. then paste this into Chrome's addressbar: chrome://plugins [16:49] ah, it worked! I didnt even need to restart [16:50] truepurple: you now have the 64-bit native 11.2 plugin direct from Adobe. [16:50] Flash - Version: 11.2 r202 [16:50] mneptok, how about updating chrome? [16:50] `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 [16:51] truepurple: should be done via repos. the Chrome .deb installer adds stuff so Google's repos keep you updated. [16:51] mneptok, you lost me, what do I need to do? [16:51] truepurple: nothing :) [16:52] 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] truepurple: your chrome version will always be out of date [16:53] on any OS [16:53] reisio, hmm? Please elaborate on that [16:53] how can I avoid a cron that has a wget on it to write log to /root ? [16:53] <`prixon> escott, I can't find i915 in http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt [16:53] > /dev/null 2>&1 [16:53] is not working [16:54] truepurple: they make a new release every other day [16:54] 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] VictorCL: wget -q [16:54] reisio, Oh, but mine is very out of date it seems, a whole version number, how do I update it anyway? [16:55] 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/ [16:56] truepurple: only out of date by a week [16:56] Brend: related to what [16:56] `prixon, modinfo i915 | grep ^parm: === abhi_69 is now known as KidFromChittagon [16:56] `prixon, from http://askubuntu.com/questions/59135/how-can-i-know-list-available-options-for-kernel-modules [16:56] reisio: To the problem I described five lines earlier [16:56] truepurple: how did you install Chrome? [16:56] maybe for someone with join/part disabled [16:56] reisio, ok, well how do I update it anyway? Or just that I am using linux that I must be behind others? === KidFromChittagon is now known as abhi_ [16:57] mneptok, I assume software center, but I don't remember for sure [16:57] truepurple: you can only update it when new packages are offered/made available [16:57] truepurple: with your package manager [16:57] truepurple: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:57] attempting to always have upstream's latest version would be a waste of time [16:57] mneptok, what does dist-upgrade do? [16:58] it upgrades your ubuntu version [16:58] <`prixon> hmmm -1 = (use per-chip default) (int). thanks! [16:58] 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] BlouBlou: it does not move between Ubuntu releases. "dist-upgrade" will not move an 11.10 install to 12.04. [16:59] mneptok, would it update my linux version? [17:00] truepurple: if by "linux" you mean "the kernel," then yes. if you mean "Ubuntu," then no. [17:00] `prixon, -1 means "use the default" which is set based on the chipset [17:00] how can I delete all fiels in a folder that starts with index_api ? [17:00] rm index_api* [17:00] can I do that [17:00] VictorCL, if you want a recursive search find . -iname "index_api*" -delete [17:01] can someone tell me why an application would not have a label -- http://i.imgur.com/Zo3Bs.png [17:01] LoboX: you get it working? [17:01] 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] not yet was eating something, im trying to stop the dhclient [17:01] i reboted to see something [17:01] oh I see where you answer that [17:01] rebooted [17:02] truepurple: yes. [17:02] `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] alexfu: no freedesktop .desktop file would be my guess [17:02] LoboX: just sudo killall dhclient to try it otherwise just uninstall it [17:02] thanks escott [17:02] ok i reboot and eth0 has the static ip from interfaces [17:02] ok sec [17:03] 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] sometimes not enough [17:04] it boot again [17:04] i will unistall [17:04] 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] my grub is giving me "ELF header smaller than expected," and ive purged and reinstalled it from a chroot on another drive [17:05] What is a popular gmail notifier that works well with unity on 12.04? [17:05] mneptok, Can ubuntu be made to do any of this automatically? [17:05] hi all [17:05] truepurple, 12.04 as an automatic update will come with 12.04.1 [17:06] hi manzamanna [17:06] i've just installed and configured precise on btrfs with dm_crypt [17:06] truepurple: sure, but i wouldn't. when things are going to change on my machine, i want to know about it. [17:06] cdavis: have you tied enigmal? [17:06] donde removed dhcp-client [17:06] done* [17:06] now I need to create the snapshots to recover if something goes wrong [17:07] OerHeks: truepurple is talking about the daily grind of package updates. [17:07] Penguincsc: nope, but I will take a look [17:07] LoboX: English only! :p [17:07] initially there was 2 subvolumes @ and @home [17:07] looks liek i've broken my x-server or 'gdm' ? .. since trying to select a dodgy window manager; whenever i boot with graphics i get a bare xserver, no terminal [17:07] >:P yeah i know >:D [17:07] !enter | manzamanna [17:07] manzamanna: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:07] are there any files i can reset [17:07] mneptok, but most of those changes are put in a way where I don't know what is being updated anyway, and I am left with trusting the updates, rather then having to try to dredge through research that might not tell me anything anyways [17:07] xorg.conf etc.. [17:07] ceti331__: and if you right-click ? [17:08] i can get to a root text modeterminal from recovery more [17:08] i'll try right click.. [17:08] My HP laptop has the beats audio.. Does linux have a software replacement for beats audio? [17:08] ,ambtrfs tools [17:08] Brustofski-Fan: is beats audio more than just marketing? [17:08] manzamanna, btrfs & snapshots > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs#How_to_work_with_snaphots_in_Ubuntu.27s_layout [17:09] reisio, even when I add a .desktop file, the label is still blank. [17:09] its since messing with both nvidia settings and then changing desktop environemnt.. [17:09] alexfu: might have to log out/in [17:09] now I have @/@_cleancompleteinstall and @/@home_cleancompleteinstall ( / and /home) [17:09] is it correct? [17:09] yeah right click does nothing [17:09] hi, i using ubuntu 12.04 with unity and i would try to install cooky... Is there someone who already done it? does it work? [17:10] hello [17:10] hi [17:10] i have the raw X cursor on a black screen. i recall someone telling me about "runlevel " somewhere [17:10] can anyone help me, I am geting sudo errors when trying to update [17:10] *conky :P [17:10] OerHeks, I have read it but I still not understand [17:10] reisio, i noticed in windows when i truned beats audio on.. got a cleaner sound.. and had a few vocal controls... [17:10] reisio, i'll try that. [17:10] when i go into a root terminal, it has some state associated with the last windowmanager I tried - GNUstep / windowmaker… [17:10] xro: there is 'conky colors' a very easy conky setup xro, you can find it on gnome-look.org [17:11] xanga, does it work with unity? [17:11] is there anyone here that can help me, please message me [17:11] sacarlson sacarlson FINALLY!!! i have dhcp ip >:D [17:11] xinitrc ? xorg.conf ? .. is it something to do with the gdm… how to get back to defaults for unity… or even a raw xterm on bare xserver [17:11] no internet tho but i will check that now [17:11] Brustofski-Fan: uhuh... [17:12] Brustofski-Fan: I assume pulseaudio's mixer/prefs will do the same thing [17:12] Any idea why skype ignores the gtk2 theme (it worked in debian when gnome2.30 was installed) I am guessing it is using gtk3 in ubuntu for themes. === eid is now known as eid_ [17:12] reisio, kinda gives the bose speakers effects [17:12] ubottu ok thanks [17:12] Brustofski-Fan: is not any special technology AFAIK, just a brand [17:12] reisio, nope. didn't work. Anyone in here use IntelliJ on 12.04? [17:12] judgen: did you set on skype preferences to use the current Desktop theme¿¿ [17:13] reisio, how do i access pulseaudio's mixer/prefs [17:13] Brustofski-Fan: ask the channel, don't use it myself [17:13] hi. is there an app to record (as in make a video) rdp or vbox vrdp in ubuntu? [17:14] there are extra packages that don't come preinstalled, too [17:14] pepee: yup [17:14] Hi guys! Due to a series of unfortunate events, I'm now forced to use a xubuntu live USB as my primary operating system, booting friends/family computers into it when I need to do some work. How do I password protect a live, persistent USB on startup? [17:14] what do you need nckrazze [17:14] reisio, which one? [17:14] mneptok, thanks for all the help [17:14] pepee: there's recordmydesktop (GNOME & KDE frontends available) for starters [17:14] i need help with apt-get update, can you pm me? [17:15] Barbariandude: try encfs [17:15] hi! [17:15] i have a usb stick i can reinstall with i think. [17:15] nckrazze: why pm? [17:15] i'll resort to that [17:15] nckrazze: just ask [17:16] nckrazze: te more people see your question - the more help you get ;-) [17:16] 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] Penguincsc: Will this also work on application memory, such as thunderbird or pidgin login? [17:16] reisio, that will record a linux desktop... I need to record a remote vnc/rdp session from a vbox vm [17:16] how do i link my ubuntu account to my vista account [17:16] nckrazze: try sudo apt-get update [17:17] nckrazze: does you used has administrative/sudo privileges¿ [17:17] Barbariandude: I am not sure, but you could create a ramdisk [17:17] nckrazze: are you usign the guest account¿ [17:17] yeah i know penguin, i get "11: resource temporarily unavailable" after I enter my password [17:17] Barbariandude: RAM contents are lost anyway, so no worries there [17:17] I installed to my hdd [17:18] and i made account [17:18] `how do i link my ubuntu account to my vista account [17:18] Barbariandude: check out Backtrack Linux on google [17:18] harris Ubuntu and vista accounts don't mix [17:18] Barbariandude: A USB pendrive isn't a good idea for such a thing - try an external HDD [17:19] nckrazze: do you have more than one user account? [17:19] xangua: do you know? [17:19] no i do not penguin [17:19] nckrazze: know to cook¿ be straight [17:20] nckrazze: if you have only yours, try running 'sudo apt-get update' from console [17:20] i did that penguin, i get the message i said [17:20] how do i make a hidden user account in ubuntu [17:20] 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 [17:21] how do i make a hidden user account in ubuntu [17:21] Harris: was that your attempt at a hidden IRC account? [17:21] nckrazze: so it means another installation program (like the Software Center)is open in the background [17:21] you sure penguin, i;ll check it out, gimma 1 sec [17:21] What do you mean by "hidden" Harris? Just not visible at the login screen? [17:21] yes chu [17:21] SafariMonkey, i dont know what you are talking about [17:21] how do you open the ubuntu alternative for the windows task manager? [17:22] 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] Harris: you left the room immediately after posting. sorry, it's my bad sense of humor. [17:22] nckrazze, open terminal: top ( better install Htop) [17:22] what oer? terminal top? [17:22] 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 [17:23] SafariMonkey, my computer froze [17:23] chu, what do i do to make it [17:23] Uunfortunately Harris, things don't look too good. [17:23] nckrazze, yes, in terminal: top [17:23] why [17:23] i still cant get it penguin, its not working. i have nothing else open [17:23] nckrazze: ALT-Shift-Esc [17:23] Look here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/92349/how-do-i-hide-a-particular-user-from-the-login-screen [17:23] Penguincsc: Yes, but they immediately enter my dekstop no-questions-asked if they reboot and select "try without installing" [17:23] *desktop [17:23] Harris: yeah, sorry, ironic humor is hard to convey on IRC [17:24] Harris: Here is the associated bug report too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/857651 [17:24] Launchpad bug 857651 in accountsservice (Ubuntu) "Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher" [High,Triaged] [17:24] Sorry.

Read the links I gave you. [17:26] 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 [17:27] yo pengi i got it [17:29] nckrazze_: what was it then?

[17:38] 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] mrgt, pulseaudio should give you controls for that [17:39] mrgt: sound icon -configuration - app tab [17:39] find the solution on #btrfs [17:39] MaynardWaters, so what is the question then? you dont know how to install grub [17:41] escott: im concerned about killing this "applying changes" I dont want to f up my kernel [17:41] MaynardWaters, so what is the exact text of the message? [17:42] what's the deal with Skype in Linux? [17:42] 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 [17:43] "error: cannoc read from '/dev/sdc'" [17:43] 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] mr0wl, a straight flush. what do you mean by deal? [17:43] and it just keep printing that in the details box [17:43] MaynardWaters, and you are seeing this when? [17:43] right now [17:43] chrometiger: maybe a graphics card driver issue? [17:43] MaynardWaters, obviously you are seeing it right now, but what command did you run that is causing this [17:44] hi men, give peace of advice pls.. How edit txt file which is in /etc(root rights) from terminal. [17:44] chrometiger, you probably dont have a glx layer running. what kind of graphics card? [17:44] Penguinsc: as far as I can see and others helped me earlier it seems my graphics drivers are installed right [17:44] shurikrulik, gksudo gedit (or any other editor you want to use) [17:44] i just attempted to update using the gui that pops up when it finds updates [17:44] escott: Intel mobile 4 series card [17:44] shurikrulik type sudo -e [filename] [17:44] chrometiger: only google earth? [17:45] maybe an OpenGL issue? [17:45] chrometiger, what is the cpu? [17:45] chrometiger: run dmesg [17:45] Google Earth says "Unknown Graphics card" [17:45] MaynardWaters, can you give any more context on this error. i still cant figure out where it is coming from [17:46] shurikrulik or sudo nano [filename] [17:46] chrometiger: try to log out and choose Unity 2D does it work then? [17:46] don't opens... [17:47] escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016701/ [17:47] shurikrulik, what exactly did you type? [17:47] sudo nano default.txt [17:47] #ffmpeg [17:47] Penguinsc: Unity and Unity 2d work, I cant get gnome shell to work [17:47] chrometiger, /proc/cpuinfo would be more helpful [17:48] shurikrulik, and what does "pwd" say? [17:48] 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 [17:49] nothing no activity [17:49] no answers [17:49] im probably just going to sudo kill the update soon if you dont have any ideas where this is coming from [17:50] MaynardWaters, without some additional lines (like those that preceded the error) its pretty much impossible to figure out what happened [17:50] terminal recive command but dose nothing [17:50] shurikrulik, do you have a terminal prompt? [17:50] escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016706/ [17:50] no [17:50] chrometiger: do you have multiple monitors? [17:51] i have tried both current desktop and gtk [17:51] no [17:51] laptop [17:51] nothing absolutely [17:51] chrometiger: whats the video chip? [17:51] Intel Mobile 4 series [17:52] chrometiger, thats a low end chip. perhaps the graphics card just cant handle it [17:52] shurikrulik, then what are you seeing? [17:52] so does gnomeshell require more than Unity ? [17:53] chrometiger, you could send us "glxinfo" [17:53] 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 [17:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016712/ [17:54] i entered sudo nano default.txt , terminal swallowed it and nothing else [17:54] chrometiger: does it crash or dosn't start at all? [17:54] shurikrulik, perhaps you are in nano already i think ctrl-x is the exit key [17:55] I am using the default AMD commercial driver that comes with Ubuntu. Should I change it to something else for better performance? [17:55] gnomeshell doesn't even load it just spits me into gnome panel default [17:55] okey, thk u for help. [17:55] chrometiger, might you have ever installed nvidia drivers? [17:55] Tigerboy, did you select the propritory driver? [17:55] yes [17:55] proprietary [17:55] try the native one [17:56] commercial = proprietary [17:56] escott: yeah when I first installed 11.10 I was hooked to my main pc "im running off an external hd" [17:56] I need the features of the commercial/proprietary [17:56] 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] chrometiger, then you need to remove the nvidia driver [17:56] not if it doesnt wrk [17:56] chrometiger: try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/86465/switch-from-nvidia-to-internal-intel-hd-graphics-opengl-does-not-work [17:56] escott: how do I go about that [17:57] chrometiger, you can use jockey to disable the nvidia driver or you can remove it with apt-get [17:58] escott: k gimme a bit i'll try [17:58] chrometiger: it says it in step 4 of the guide I ssent you [17:59] For ubuntu network-manager-openvpn, is there a way for it to import certs that are embedded in the ovpn file?

[18:53] hey guys how do i configure my network to allow outside traffic to reach a local wordpress site using my public ip === Chell is now known as Shojo [18:54] Penguincsc, well, i just installed pptpd by "apt-get install pptpd" on my Ubuntu 12.4 [18:54] Hello, I wish to try switching my framebuffer to uvesafb, how would I go about doing this? [18:54] shaneo with no-ip or with DynDNS [18:54] yesko: on the server or client side? [18:54] MonkeyDust, i dont understand [18:55] MonkeyDust, making my public ip connectable [18:55] Penguincsc, I am actually looking for that. I installed kvpnc as you told [18:55] <16SABAX9B> Hi, I'm on my desktop, and trying to ssh in with my laptop; how can I check the public key on my desktop? [18:55] Penguincsc, I am actually looking for that. I installed kvpnc as you told and the network manager is wicd === 16SABAX9B is now known as mangdood_ [18:55] 16SABAX9B, nano ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [18:55] yesko: kvpnc is a a GUI for the client [18:56] A question about Unity and Qt/KDE applications: When I run them from the launcher (or an xterm), they get their default Qt theme (and look out of place). But when I run them from gnome-terminal, the theme changes and they look much more like other applications. Is there a way to get them to look like that when run from anywhere? [18:56] mangdood_, nano ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [18:56] from terminal [18:56] shaneo: that's only my public key for my desktop ssh client, isn't it? I haven't used the SSH client so I don't have that file [18:57] yesko: try this: http://www.unixmen.com/setting-up-a-pptp-vpn-in-linux/ [18:57] It looks as if the 12.01 Thunderbird version does not have LDAP in it. Can someone else confirm? it's this package: 12.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 [18:57] mangdood_, cd ~/.ssh and ls to see what files you do have [18:58] shaneo: I don't have an .ssh folder. I haven't used the client on my desktop [18:58] so install ssh [18:58] shaneo: but that's not the problem... I want the keys for my ssh SERVER [18:58] <_numbers> i installed an app that uses evdev to track keyboard keypresses and mouse clicks. currently it can't detect any activity. it seems like evdev is not working in latest ubuntu 12.04 [18:58] wtf? ubuntu is trying to "upgrade precise to oneiric" (sic) [18:58] !Info qt4-qtconf | cybersphinx [18:58] you can set them to use the current gtk there [18:58] mangdood_, than you will need to ssh to your server and get them [18:59] shaneo: ...I'm on my desktop which is hosting the ssh server. [19:00] mangdood_, than you will need to generate the keys [19:00] mangdood_, ssh-keygen -t rsa [19:00] Ztane: what makes you say that? [19:00] !info qt4-qtconfig | cybersphinxsorry, this is [19:00] cybersphinxsorry, this is: qt4-qtconfig (source: qt4-x11): Qt 4 configuration tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:4.8.1-0ubuntu4.1 (precise), package size 93 kB, installed size 529 kB [19:00] mangdood_: look in /etc/ssh/ [19:00] mangdood_, but it needs to be done in the .ssh folder [19:01] This may sound like a vary stupid question But can users be logged in more than once? [19:01] shaneo: servers have their own set of ssh keys that are separate from their user's keys. [19:01] yes thomasd [19:01] thomasd: sure [19:01] Pici: I'm looking at the folder now, and I'm trying to compare the key that my laptop client is receving and the one on my server. The one on the server isn't in the same format though [19:01] Pici, oh that makes sense i was a little confused there for a sec [19:01] id love to see solarized as a package I can just install,..gnome-terminal compatible too. http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized [19:01] jrib: dunno what happened on this computer (my parents' laptop) but the package manager said "this tool cannot be used to upgrade precise to oneiric" !?!! [19:01] thomasd: yes [19:01] !packaging | osmosis [19:01] osmosis: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports and !sponsoring [19:02] mangdood_: you mean /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key? [19:02] xangua: Thanks, that mostly helps. Fonts are still different though. [19:02] also how would I set up a system to automatically log a user in and run a command as that user? [19:02] Hi, how do I view hidden folders in Ubuntu 11.10? [19:02] Penguincsc: I'm looking at the ecdsa key atm, since that's the one my client is displaying [19:02] mischa_: in what context? Nautilus? [19:02] cybersphinx: you can also change the fonts with it [19:02] http://www.acer.nl/ac/nl/NL/content/series/iconia is this notebook supported? The one of Acer with touchscreen? Thnx [19:02] mischa_: Control+H [19:02] Ztane: what did you do before getting that message? [19:03] mangdood_: was that what you were looking for? [19:03] jrib, viewing hidden folders in the file explorer, not quite sure of any names. === Therstrium_ is now known as Therstrium [19:03] mischa_: ctrl-h or View → Show Hidden Files [19:03] i use filezilla for ssh server [19:03] 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] jrib: maybe I just try to reboot once more [19:03] does everything in the init.d folder get called on boot? [19:04] thomasd: no [19:04] jrib how would i set up my computer that it automaticly runs something.sh as someone user [19:04] Thanks a lot, jrib! :-) [19:04] on boot [19:04] thomasd: what does something.sh do? [19:04] jrib: upgrade had crashed and I had to do dpkg --configure -a && apt-get install -f in single user mode [19:05] jrib it's a basic server running on port 1337 [19:05] then installed 1000 packages :D [19:05] 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] thomasd: I would just use @reboot in the user's crontab [19:05] thomasd: i would write an upstart conf for it [19:05] if it is supposed to be a service [19:05] jrib What is a users crontab [19:05] !cron | thomasd [19:05] thomasd: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [19:06] 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] cybersphinx: you mean the 'ubuntu' font¿ just set it in qt4-qtconfig [19:06] thomasd: you want it to be always running ? [19:06] Well, I found it. ssh-keygen -lf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub [19:06] mangdood_: cool [19:07] Penguincsc: yep, thanks, I just found the answer though [19:07] Ztane: that's the idea [19:07] thomasd: then forget cron, write an upstart conf file in /etc/init [19:07] thomasd: if it is your computer to play with :D [19:08] Ztane it's my virtual computer :() [19:08] 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] but computer enough as in you have root access [19:08] yes [19:09] would i just go 'su - user' then execute the command? [19:09] 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] 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] 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] 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] sc4rf4c3: We do not support backtrack here. Please use their support channel at #backtrack-linux [19:10] sc4rf4c3: /join #backtrack-linux or try the wine channel [19:10] jrib: disagree, crontab is not designed for starting services... also he would need to reboot the computer to just try it [19:10] graah, now compiz is crashing on login [19:10] sc4rf4c3: file the freetype-dev package [19:10] 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] wawowe: Hm, usually I upgrade from liveCD though, and that seems to wipe my configs. What's the way to upgrade without LiveCD? [19:11] mangdood_: with the update manager [19:11] mangdood_: alternate cd [19:11] alternate [19:11] jrib are all files in /etc/init executed with shell as root on boot? [19:11] thomasd: no [19:11] mangdood_: either change the sources list and apt-get dist-upgrade or do_dist_upgrade [19:12] mangdood_: not sure about the do_dist_upgrade cmd cuz i don't have it === ubuntu is now known as Guest89770 [19:12] wawowe: is it you the guy that skips debian updates¿¿ [19:12] thomasd: they are configuration files for upstart... they contain sections that could be executed in shell [19:12] wawowe: NO. Do not suggest changing the sources and doing a dist-upgrade. That WILL break your install. [19:12] xangua: you remember me :p i don't skip updates no [19:12] Pici: no it won't [19:12] Ztane looks like crontab is my best bet [19:13] thomasd: read http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ if you want to learn about writing upstart jobs [19:13] xangua, wawowe: ooo Thanks. Will I need to do anything special after that? (Will it need to reboot in order to upgrade?) [19:13] Pici: i upgraded to precise that way [19:13] wawowe: Then you took a big risk. [19:13] Pici: many times i have [19:13] mangdood_: changing the release name in the sources list is a bad idea [19:13] wawowe: please stop suggesting that [19:13] wawowe: Just because it worked for you doesn't mean that it is the correct way to do it. [19:13] xangua: no [19:13] xangua: I plan on doing it the easy way from update manager anyways :D [19:13] Pici: it is the correct way [19:14] Penguincsc, pm please? [19:14] Pici: normally have to upgrade apt and dpkg first but it is correct [19:14] 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] Pici: ubuntu doc is dumbed down [19:15] my apparmor not working [19:15] 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. [19:16] Pici: what are they? [19:16] 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. [19:17] sudo ufw enable [19:17] Ztane: Well looks like i have a lot of reading to do [19:18] I have a problem, I've just installed ubuntu 12.04 from a usb stick, and now i can't boot, my mobo is Asus P9X79 deluxe, I've installed in a Corsair Force GT 3 Series 120 GB, in my mobo the Q-code says AE, it means Legacy Boot Event [19:18] How would I go about making the desktop switch screen show up when I touch the bottom right corner with mouse? (unity) [19:18] someone knows what should I do [19:18] thomasd: basic thing is quite simple however :D [19:18] ? [19:18] Pici: i [19:19] Pici: i'll agree that apt is kind of evil if something goes wrong, but dpkg can fix everything [19:19] Ztane: yah i'll just get the basics down and not worry about the advanced stufs [19:19] thomasd: read section 4.1.1.2 [19:19] thomasd: and from there on [19:20] tyvm [19:20] man deamon [19:20] oops :P [19:20] ? [19:20] Pici: then again neither of those are the easiest way in ubuntu [19:20] this_is_a_un: You could try pressing the windows key + s when touching the bottom right corner with the cursor [19:21] ThePendulum, Wow... Let me rephrase this. Where are the scripts for unity located? [19:21] 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] 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] this_is_a_un: I'm sorry, hehe, I was trolling. 1 minute, I'll look it up [19:21] mangdood_: do_release_upgrade* is the cmd [19:22] yep [19:23] Pici: doesn't give much of an idea [19:23] this_is_a_un: http://askubuntu.com/questions/85822/show-desktop-workspaces-active-windows-by-hovering-the-mouse-to-any-corner-of-th [19:23] Ztane It says that sometimes the process runs without a PID how is this possable? [19:23] this_is_a_un: Is that what you're looking for? [19:23] Pici: has fixes for certain packages [19:23] thomasd: not the process, but the "upstart job" [19:23] Pici: but otherwise it's a normal debian upgrade [19:23] this_is_a_un: you can edit mouse actions in the Expo plugin on compiz settings manager [19:24] ThePendulum: Yes, thank you :) [19:24] wawowe: I'm thinking that I'm just going to reinstall from LiveUSB since so many things are broken on that computer [19:24] hmm [19:24] I was expecting to have to edit something, because I had to to get rid of it in gnome3 xD [19:24] mangdood_: if everything is broken and you've got nothing to lose by resintalling than that's the easiest way to get there === Guest55951 is now known as mrk_ [19:25] 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... [19:26] mangdood_: if you have the option to not format, you can remove everything except your home and resinstall [19:26] mangdood_: doubt the ubuntu installer has an easy option for that though [19:26] wawowe: what if my /home isn't on it's own partition [19:27] mangdood_: as long as you don't format it won't matter [19:27] mangdood_: just remove everything besides /home [19:27] wawowe: alright, I'll keep that in mind when I get around to reinstalling [19:27] mangdood_: using a root term or whatever is available [19:28] thomasd: this might be of interest http://geeknme.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/getting-started-with-upstart-in-ubuntu/ and so on [19:28] wawowe: hm, so, like, booting from liveCD/USB, and removing all the directories on that partition other than home? [19:29] mangdood_: yes, as long as you have the option to not format during the install [19:30] wawowe: In the previous liveCDs, I've had that option, so I should be okay with not formatting [19:30] 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] Ztane are you done throwing loads of information at me :P [19:31] mangdood_: also if you have an encrypted home you need to know the key [19:31] 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 [19:32] MaynardWaters, sorry, was on the phone [19:32] wawowe: It should be okay, right? as long as ecryptfs is installed, I should be able to use in my login passphrase [19:32] no worries, wasnt really something I expected anyone else to figure out, just happy it is fixed thanks for your time [19:32] mangdood_: do you have an encrypted home directory? [19:32] I configured ibus for japanese input yesterday, and I can't seem to get it to start.. [19:33] is there anything one can do when I get "Not Found" trying to install one of the Humble Indie Bundle games via USC? [19:33] Hi there, when I run a program like "meld" in a GNU screen window, I get the error "glib.GError: No D-BUS daemon running". What is the problem? [19:34] Is it best to install Java through Software Center or go get it from Oracles site? [19:34] Ztane: if your curious as to what i'm doing i'm writing a script to help working with headless virtualbox servers [19:34] Where do I get the non-free version of unzip? [19:34] leeping, are you running as root? are you running lubuntu or xubuntu? [19:34] escott, I'm running normal ubuntu, not as root, but I am in a GNU screen session. Outside the screen session, meld loads normally. [19:35] fasta: use 7Zip [19:35] 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] man initctl [19:35] 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] designbybeck: p7zip-full? [19:36] 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] can you tell me the names of the environment variables? [19:36] hmmm not sure on that one fasta [19:36] is it DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS? [19:36] leeping, it will change every login/boot [19:36] escott, are you saying the name of the variable will change, or the value will change? [19:36] 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 [19:37] leeping, the value will change [19:37] where can I make a petition for a package? [19:37] 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] do you happen to know the name of the variable offhand? [19:37] leeping, DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS should be all you need [19:37] escott, i'll try that [19:37] How does Unity a) detect that an application is running, and b) restore fullscreen mode at startup? I have an application where both things don't work, it launches with the pinned launcher icon, but then isn't shown as active. Is there some programming guide or something to fix that? [19:37] does anyone use any compiz plugins or something similar to get auto-tiling behavior with unity similar to a tiling wm, or anything of that sort? [19:38] alecbenzer: one solution is to use a tiling wm within unity [19:38] mangdood_: the encryption key is somewhere and you'll need it [19:38] Just came to say, tried to download Ubuntu Server (x64) there, and the automatic refresh to the ISO, as well as the link takes me to http://ubuntu.com/install.php rather than the ISO itself. Had to right click and go to Save Link As... to actually get the ISO. Someone should probably get around to deleting that file. :P [19:38] wawowe: It's in /home/.ecryptfs [19:38] Perfect, it works!! Thanks, escott [19:39] jrib: how-to link? I've had difficulty getting that working (also I like ubuntu's general prettyful-ness, which is why I have trouble getting myself to run xmonad by itself) [19:40] alecbenzer: I don't know, I run xmonad by itself. Have you checked xmonad's wiki? [19:41] mangdood_: you should be able to get it with the wrapped-passphrase [19:41] mangdood_: but just in case copy that entire directory outside of your home [19:42] 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] mangdood_: and yeah, as long as you have that installed it should work [19:42] Every time I do an operating with APT it tries to install java - happening because I unsuccessfully tried to install it before [19:42] mangdood_: but just as a failsafe [19:43] i've got java working in other works [19:43] hi, is there any other programm for ubuntu to use instead of cool edit pro for record sounds as waves? [19:43] 1 not fully installed or removed. apt get reports [19:43] meera, audacity [19:44] tannxx [19:48] thomasd: ok :D === ubuntu is now known as Guest74822 [19:50] I configured ibus for japanese input yesterday, but now, I can't seem to get ibus to show up in the notification bar. [19:50] I have tried allowing all in dconf [19:51] hi all [19:51] this_is_a_un: is ibus-daemon running? ps aux | grep ibus [19:51] this_is_a_un: ibus-daemon -x -d [19:53] http://pastebin.com/UK8hX5qD [19:54] It works when i change the settings to a floating bar, but I think its ugly and it gets in the way of stuff [19:54] this_is_a_un: kill -9 1515 1519 10310 && sleep 3 && ibus-daemon -x -d [19:55] this_is_a_un: floating bar? [19:56] nvm. Anyways, now how would I get ibus to run at startup? thanks [19:56] this_is_a_un: what windowmanager/desktop are you using [19:56] Unity [19:57] what bar is floating [19:57] this_is_a_un: don't know sorry [19:57] this_is_a_un: killall unity :p (don't really do that) [19:58] wawowe: o_o [19:58] this_is_a_un: when you first run ibus-setup, it should set up a link at ~/.xinput/locale which will start the daemon when you login, but if that isn't setup, adding: ibus-daemon --xim; to startup applications works as well [19:58] My new laptop wouldn't sleep or hibernate (suspend to ram or disk, respectively) in ubuntu 12.04. I applied this fix and now sleep works but still no hibernate, how can I track down the next problem? http://thecodecentral.com/2011/01/18/fix-ubuntu-10-10-suspendhibernate-not-working-bug [19:58] is there a way to get hardware-accelerated flash working on ubuntu w/ any browser? I miss streaming HD video on linux (have to use virtualbox, ugh) [19:59] this_is_a_un: sorry that is ~/.xinput.d/locale (where locale is en_US or whatever your locale is) [19:59] ok, restarting. [19:59] this_is_a_un: it points to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ibus [19:59] shirakawasuna I know that on my desktop hw accelerated streaming caused problems with flas streaming particularily in youtube, idk if it will cause the same problems here [19:59] in ubuntu [20:00] <[snake]> Hello, I have ssh-server and client and was wondering if I could run the client through a proxy so that I can test the connection on the outside of my network from here.

I followed from this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo, for configuring my iptables. With that, Is it suficient for a good security, or Would I to do more for best security??? [20:02] <[snake]> wawowe, yes I would like to know how, that is if I can. [20:02] help . How to give permissions to current user to edit files in /opt/lampp/htdocs [20:02] <[snake]> dribblingmachine, you can change the permissions on /opt/lamp to you. [20:02] maca, if you just want a firewall ufw would be easier to setup [20:02] dribble look to your left i pmed you [20:02] <[snake]> and everything in it. maybe the htdocs [20:03] I don't have user privileges to any other partitions or removable media. Any suggestions? [20:03] no, I don't like ufw [20:03] dribblingmachine, determine what group owns those files and "usermod -a -G thatgroup username" [20:03] thanks, I prefer iptables [20:03] dribble do what escott said [20:03] escott: giving it a try [20:03] iHarp, you cannot mount external drives? sudo usermod -a -G plugdev username [20:04] <[snake]> I don't understand the concept of groups. perhaps I should figure that out before trying to answer someone else's question. [20:04] @snake lol [20:04] Escott: I can mount I just can't manipulate anything. I didn't used to have this problem. [20:04] confused [20:04] [snake]: http://www.mtu.net/~engstrom/ssh-proxy.php [20:04] iHarp, what is the output of "mount" [20:04] I wonder if the things that tought me from that web: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo, is ok for a good security, or I have to do something more... [20:04] <[snake]> wawowe, thanks. [20:05] when a process dies from an apparmor failure, how/where do I debug that? mysql is failing to start at present. [20:05] can't use any editor to save the files [20:05] open the editor with sudo [20:05] sudo vi "filename" [20:06] dribblingmachine, what are the permissions on the file? [20:06] though changed permissions using "chmod 755 /opt/lampp/htdocs/* -R" using root [20:06] !tab | [snake] please use complete nicks [20:06] [snake] please use complete nicks: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [20:06] im not able to edit it [20:06] For example, setting ports on forward class on iptables... may be... or it isn't necesary.... [20:06] 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] dribblingmachine, you should be careful using chmod -R because 755 may make sense for a file but not for a folder [20:06] dribble: also try to use vi to change key things [20:06] dribblingmachine, rather for a folder but not for a file [20:07] escott: then how to change for a entire folder [20:07] ?? [20:07] [snake]: I apologize - my eyes didn't connect to my brain obviously [20:07] any help on getting solarized to work in gnome-terminal? [20:07] <[snake]> guntbert, no problem. [20:08] Escott: It mounts successfully. but when I try to paste something into it it says denied [20:08] hi, does ubuntu (latest version) support powerpc architectures? and if so, is it stable or are there any pitfalls? [20:08] 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] 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] iHarp, i want to see the output of mount [20:08] gotcha one sec [20:09] escott: okay. maybe im going entirely wrong on this thing [20:09] escott: ty [20:10] escott: i'll change to group, don't know how . gonna try [20:10] escott: It doesn't print anything. Just goes to the next username@Hostname input line [20:10] mouse: xdotool can probably use another param for that [20:10] iHarp, "mount" prints out NOTHING? [20:10] mouse: I know xautomation has a place for a delay [20:11] tomasm-: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [20:11] escott: ok. one sec. Ill give you a pastebin [20:12] reisio, thanks [20:12] Hello [20:12] <[snake]> danny_, hello! [20:13] [snake]: Hi snake [20:13] ahh. not an apparmor issue. 5.5.3 changes default-character-set to character-set-server .. /me hates arbitrary renaming [20:13] 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] What would be the best way to make a startup script using this command "sudo echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch" [20:13] 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 [20:14] I have a doubt: If a program of windows was infected, and run on wine, it can affect to Linux?? [20:14] [snake]: haha I thought you needed a special one [20:14] dannel, that won't do what you want [20:14] er danny_ [20:14] 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] Escott: did you get my link? [20:15] 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] 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] 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] danny_, I'd suggest "echo OFF|sudo dd of=/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch" instead [20:15] [snake]: that makes perfect sense, well I am new to Linux [20:16] iHarp, generally best to put things in channel instead of pm'ing so that others can look at them [20:16] gotcha [20:16] hi [20:16] iHarp, /media/Backup Resources is the problem? [20:16] Anyone else experiencing this problem? [20:16] W: Failed to fetch http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/filelight/filelight_4.8.2-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb [20:16] 403 Forbidden [20:16] Thanks, escott [20:16] 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] mouse: uhhhh maybe? [20:17] 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] nyuszika7h: what happens if you use a different server? [20:17] [snake]: perfect let me try it and reboot [20:17] guntbert: And how would I do that? [20:17] mouse: man xdotool, /sleep [20:17] nyuszika7h: GUI or CLI? [20:17] Dayofswords: dpkg -L firefox [20:18] 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] guntbert: I installed from Synaptic, but CLI works for me, too [20:18] 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] Escott: That is my Windows backup resources. What should I do with it to fix my little problem? [20:18] iHarp, i think all you need to do is "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g" and then umount/mount that folder [20:18] TimRiker: All I would do is put that command line right above exit 0 and it should work? [20:18] 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] ok. on it. thnx [20:19] danny_, should do, yes. [20:20] nyuszika7h: in synaptic, select settings/software sources, there select a different server to "download from", don't forget to refresh afterwards [20:23] hello i need help i have gnomeclassic the gnome-panel is not showing up right corner [20:23] ramtest, google shows potential mtrr issues. I'm not sure what the fix would be though. [20:23] 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] ubuntu 12.4 [20:23] guntbert: Thanks very much :) Switching to main server solved the issue. [20:24] iHarp, did you put any entries in /etc/fstab? [20:24] 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] yay, ubuntu install disk just instantly kernel panics [20:24] i have the applications places to right everthing to left gone [20:24] <[snake]> japro, that's good. [20:24] escott: Not that I'm aware of [20:24] gnomeclassic [20:24] unable to mount root fs on uknown-block(0,0) [20:24] iHarp, then run "udisks --mount /dev/sda1" [20:25] japro, cd or usb? [20:25] [snake], I presume he means gnome-session-fallback [20:25] 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] i guess. [20:25] TimRiker: thanks. Do you thinks this is a dangerous error? [20:25] escott, Mount failed: Daemon is inhibited [20:25] TimRiker: Thank you very much that worked perfectly [20:25] escott, cd [20:25] i just know my start shut down battery allis gone :) [20:25] japro, have you checked the md5sum? [20:25] ramtest, sry, dunno [20:26] <[snake]> Anthony, if you don't know what MATE desktop is then it's what TimRiker said, do you know what MATE desktop is? [20:26] hmm, no will try [20:26] nope [20:26] ubuntu 12.4lts [20:26] <[snake]> !who | anthony [20:26] anthony: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[20:30] im doing it through the installer [20:30] 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] Galvatron, you can get normal gparted if you just select "try ubuntu" instead of "install ubuntu" [20:30] myhero: they're all saved locally unless you clean them out [20:30] reisio: how to make their backup ? [20:30] escott: Is it installed by default in 12.04? [20:30] escott: gord.. ?!

[22:20] iToast: what exactly is your issue [22:20] The problem with minimal is telling me that my network card isnt using DCHP. [22:20] It is. [22:20] does compiz even work with ubuntu 12.x anymore? its obsolete right? [22:21] I've tried manually configuring it to get it to download the release file and it fails to download. [22:21] iToast: this really should not be an issue going from 11.4 to 1204 if the thumb has been formatted prior to writing. [22:21] dijonyummy: Unity 3D is a compiz plugin, so what do you think? [22:21] iToast: so completly different story, usb is booting now [22:21] L3top: Im not going to 12.*, its not supported. [22:21] ? [22:21] DasEi: the usb booted the whole time [22:21] err [22:21] The inital problem with 10.4 was it wanted a cd-rom driver but it had no cd-rom. [22:21] 12.* is supported.

[22:23] L3top: The usb is being made on windows 7 64 bit ultimate the iso is the minimal for 10.4 [22:23] Minimal doesnt reconize the network card like it should. [22:24] 12.04 comes with chrome i wonder if chrome change it's spying situation...? [22:24] lauratika: It doesnt spy on you. [22:24] L3top: please take over, it's about installing from usb, minimal cd this time, with varieng posts about what (not) happens, currently between a cdromdriver-issue and dhcp, I'm out soon :) [22:24] lauratika: chromium != chrome [22:24] lauratika: there is chromium on ubuntu repositories, not google chrome if that is what you ask [22:25] DasEi: L3top its attempting to download the release file now. [22:25] lauratika: but chrome still has all the spying, if that's what you want [22:25] iToast: Lucid is not a problem for MOST hw out there. is this a realtek 8111, 8168B or 8176? [22:25] L3top: its not. [22:25] np DasEi [22:25] iToast i didnt say spy on me,spy issues as unique ID and mining data,thats what i mean [22:26] what is the hardware iToast? [22:26] lauratika: I know.

[22:27] lauratika: chrome is based off of chromium source [22:27] Realtek RTL8110SC v1.73c. [22:27] lauratika: chrome is chromium source [22:28] so, how do i turn off the 'holding' when moving the mouse cursor from one display to another? [22:28] zykitick9 thanx! for the info [22:28] iToast: Is the machine connected to the internet via ethernet? [22:28] mmr: unity setings.

[22:29] Jordan_U: Sorry, but seriously thats not attitude [22:29] lauratika: yes [22:29] Also, who would download a full ubuntu install on wifi... [22:29] 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] !messengers | lauratika [22:29] can you possibly boot TO the installer so we can run some commands iToast? [22:29] L3top: Yes, its failing to connect only with the minimal installer [22:29] zykotick9: yes but im using operas chat,but seems im moving out as facebook want to buy it so looking for alternatives [22:30] The full installer fails trying to force me to mount a non existent cd-rom.

Minimal requires MOST of its sw to be downloaded [22:30] Hello, please what is causing IPv6 autoconf privacy extention to generate 7 IPv6 ULA for eth0 here? http://pastie.org/private/6e2tqcouk07flvdq3kztzg [22:30] its a well known problem with server 10.4 [22:30] !minimal | iToast [22:30] 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] lauratika: i'd recommend using an IRC client for IRC channels... but that's perhaps just me [22:30] L3top: That was the point. [22:30] iToast: found it [22:30] mmr: :P [22:30] why i cant highlight names on yellow as you do with mine? [22:30] iToast: display > sticky edges. ty [22:30] iToast: that is not the way to get MOST compatability, but least [22:31] L3top: its not about compatabillity.... [22:31] lauratika: include the NIC of the person you are talking to [22:31] iToast: if it is about hw not working... it is absolutely about compatability... by definition [22:31] L3top: Using the netboot image gets around the fact that the server installer doesn't work properly when booting from USB. [22:31] 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] lauratika: usually you only get highlights on msgs including your nick, not messages including others [22:31] So we can select a place to load it from! [22:32] zykotick9: [22:32] lauratika: that worked on my side [22:32] I tried telling it to load from /dev/sdb but it didnt wan't to. [22:32] So, i just did a clean install of 12.04, rebooted, logged in, and BOOM! mouse on a black background. [22:32] reisio: thanx a lot [22:32] zykotick9: thanx [22:32] * L3top doesn't understand Jordan_U's message. [22:32] bdfoster: tried unity 2d? [22:32] i've got no clue as to how to enable that [22:32] others'* [22:33] so you rekon chromium upon firefox? [22:33] L3top: The hardware is working...

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [22:33] lauratika: browser's are chosen out of preferejnce, try them all and use the one you like. [22:33] iToast: if the ethernet adapter is working, can we back up and explain the problem please [22:33] bdfoster: might want to check your graphics drivers [22:33] 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] lauratika: if you want to help Google then use chromium, if you want to help the internet use firefox ;) [22:33] bdfoster: what's the device? nvidia? intel? [22:33] nvidia [22:33] L3top: I explained it already [22:33] Its a well known problem with the 10.4 server installer. [22:33] ok, so I started installing amnesia via software center, and now the launcher popped out, and wont hide back [22:34] IT wants a cd-rom mounted but it doesnt have one! [22:34] it refuses to load its drivers and software from the usb as it thinks it's a cdrom. [22:34] can i get some help asap [22:34] pezzy: wait Like I did.... [22:34] reisio, it's an hp dv6436nr, probably a fairly well supported nvidia GPU [22:34] k [22:34] 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] lauratika: No. [22:34] Just use opera for linux. [22:34] bdfoster: can you CTRL+ALT+F2? [22:35] lauratika: also fine, add a repo and stick there, why not [22:35] lauratika: opera is even worse then chromium... non-free software [22:35] zykotick9: but i hear you... [22:35] reisio, lemme check [22:35] 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] bdfoster: if you can, run 'lsmod | grep -i nvidia' and see if you get anything [22:36] L3top: Me and others have had this problem. [22:36] lauratika: i'm not the biggest firefox fan, but i use it and uzbl and elinks2 - depending on situtation [22:36] iToast: im moving as soon as facebook buys it [22:36] Don't be blind and act like it doesent exist because your synthetic enviroment didnt cause a problem. [22:36] 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] 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] 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 [22:37] 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] is it possible to get spyware on buntu? [22:37] !attitude | iToast [22:37] 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] L3top: What attitude?! I've repeated this many times to you. [22:37] You keep asking for different things and tleling me things like compatibility when this has worked in the past. [22:37] Good luck iToast [22:37] L3top: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1550317 [22:38] who told ed to use unison [22:38] zykotick9: and it will be time to move from opera and i wonder now that ubuntu move to chromium how safe it is and how good i will give it a try i guess [22:38] Others have had this problem L3top, why don't you look at it. [22:38] 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] Jordan_U: not the usb controller. [22:38] iToast: I don't won't to disencourage you, maybe have a tea and then answer detailed the questions you're given, there are many possible solution, but stay with one person and answer so they can help, really have a break - last tip : remove hd, install elsewhere if it's all too hard with me synthetic :) [22:38] I'm out Jordan_U. Sorry. [22:38] want [22:38] I had 10.4 but I'm doing a fresh install on this box [22:38] DasEi, what should i choose in unison ssh rsh or local [22:39] * psusi wonders what all the hubbub is about [22:39] DasEi: Jordan_U L3top http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1550317 that is the problem I have. [22:39] Harris: is it dualboot or two boxes ? [22:39] Its a problem with the installer. [22:39] reisio, [22:39] err... [22:39] dualboot [22:39] Every installer before 10.4 and after 10.4 works without this problem. [22:39] bdfoster: ? [22:39] Harris: local then [22:40] yes, i can get another shell up and im currently updating [22:40] Harris: and as mentioned above a shared party is much easier [22:40] ill check on the nvidia thing here in a sec [22:40] wow, it hit 10.10. [22:40] iToast, have you tried using the Ubuntu usb startup creator instead of this "universal usb installer"? [22:40] what is a shared party [22:40] L3top: Did you read the post I forwarded you? [22:40] psusi: Its not unetbooting [22:41] Harris: a shared partition you use from both os'es [22:41] I've tried other usb boot makers in the past for this problem. [22:41] All end up with the same problem. [22:41] my dad partioned it [22:41] L3top: Insists its my hardware or me or my software screwing up because he didn't have a problem with his synthetic enviroment testing. [22:41] So, uTouch is still just a cool idea and not really reality/ [22:41] ? [22:41] Harris: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [22:42] DasEi: Can you help me for a sec? Il send you the post that shows the problem [22:42] reisio, to answer your question, yes there is 'nvidia' in lsmod [22:42] iToast, which is obviously true since this works fine for millions of other people... the question is why, and how to fix it... [22:42] Anyone know how to sign in with a real name? [22:42] Harris: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit < psusi: Actually millions of others got hit by this too! [22:42] Jonii, there is a #ubuntu-touch irc channel here on freenode, so i say reality [22:42] >/nick (namehere) [22:43] It only happens with usb booting. [22:43] iToast, if that were true, there would be many bug reports about it, which isn't the case [22:43] bdfoster: cool [22:43] psusi: Letme correct, only when usb booting without a cd-rom drive [22:43] psusi: alot of people have reported it. [22:43] bdfoster: but not nouveau, right? (lsmod | grep -i nouveau) [22:43] iToast: You can always use the Desktop installer and just strip away the Desktop packages after install. [22:43] >/jamarsh123 [22:43] iToast: I doubt so, either boot to a commandline as now it's clear you can have the live to a certain point, or remove hd and install elsewhere [22:43] now, is it possible to get spyware on ubuntu? i keep getting redirected to some weird pages and when i try to load pictures i keep getting redirected to a shop wiki.com picture [22:43] hangon [22:43] pezzy: not so much [22:43] DasEi: Im rebuilding a the live usb.

[22:51] quickrot: being more specific usually gets more nibbles [22:52] jrib, i dont have much to go on... [22:52] quickrot: you have not yet asked a question... just insisted it is ridiculous nobody has helped you. [22:52] psusi: Told you, L3top can't handle the fact that a installer doesn't work outside of a synthetic enviroment. [22:52] quickrot: well I'd suggest starting with what you want to accomplish, what you've tried so far, and what the results were [22:53] jrib, basically im trying to mount an encrypted home partition using "ecryptfs-mount-private" but nothing happens... when i try it as sudo i get and error message "fopen: No such file or directory" [22:53] anyone knows how to make an opengl game display on one display only? (using nvidias twinview) [22:53] !encrypt | quickrot [22:53] quickrot: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [22:53] quickrot: are you following the directions there? [22:53] 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] L3top: I used the full isntaller and got the problem. [22:54] L3top: I explained that a few times and you insisted its my hardware not being supported. [22:54] 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] 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] 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: this is not the channel for such discussion. If you want me to undress you, I will do so in off topic. Otherwise... stop addressing me. [22:54] iToast: note, the bug may be closed now (not sure) [22:54] I am here to help people [22:54] quickrot: ok, but are you following the wiki? [22:55] L3top: You told me it was a problem with my hardware, when I told you the problem then you told me to give you more info... [22:55] psusi: If I can help you, I will be happy to. I will not be given attitude for trying. [22:55] L3top: I said you need to read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1550317 Its not just me, even psusi found it. [22:55] L3top: You were not given attitude, you gave attitude. [22:55] iToast: I'll turn away soon, last hope is hook hd to another box, be done [22:55] DasEi: :| [22:56] DasEi: Just wondering, if I made my root and home directory seperate, woudl it make updating easier? [22:56] it seems that the alternate installer is simply incapable of functioning with usb instead of cdrom as a source... even having a cdrom drive present, but with some other cd in it causes it to complain that the cdrom is incorrect [22:56] Yes... lol... I am terribly motivated to give people I am trying to help attitude. Welcome to ignore... it is honestly a rare privelege. [22:56] time to file a bug against d-i it seems [22:56] iToast: no, but stay on one issue a time [22:57] DasEi: This is the exact same issue... [22:57] L3top: Ignore me all you wan't. You gave attitude then tried to call me giving you attitude and went !attitude after ignoring me [22:57] iToast, L3top: please stop; let's just stick to support. [22:57] L3top: also I saw harri claiming the amd problem, not you, but why put oil in the fire ;) [22:57] end. of. discussion.

[23:01] iToast, did you say this used to work in 10.04? or that's just the first release you ran into this? [23:01] psusi: you have any success? I had this problem and had a solution but its not working. [23:02] psusi: I got it to install in the past using /dev/sdb [23:02] im not sure why its not working now [23:02] 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] psusi: try ubuntu server amd64 [23:02] 10.4 [23:03] I don't happen to have that iso handy [23:03] have 10.04 dvd though... guess I'll give that a shot === Afterraff` is now known as Afteraffekt [23:05] 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... === jono is now known as Guest23141 [23:06] 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 [23:07] Because those are like the coolest thing ever, ever. [23:07] Ever [23:07] 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] Startup Disk Creator, without issue. [23:07] 10.04 dvd also fails to find usb [23:08] L3top, "1004 iso"? [23:08] scratch that mouse gesture thing, I mean, gestures, with touchpad [23:08] a 1004 iso is produced by the process which has multiple stages. [23:08] 32 bit [23:08] Jonii: http://tinyurl.com/cyce95y [23:08] various people build at various stages. [23:09] ... [23:09] 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] What is the difference between Linux kernel and Ubuntu OS? [23:09] psusi: I told you he'd ignore that problem. [23:09] psusi: Try /dev/sdb /1 /2 [23:09] Jonii: since hardy or earlier [23:09] Specific code frankly has to be written to allow the startup disk creator to work. [23:09] Keep going until you find the sdb* that lets it go :p [23:09] DasEi: I think this is newer https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch [23:09] however unetbootin works with or without that code [23:10] has anyone seen a keyboard without a ms logo? other then apple ones. [23:10] iToast, what do you mean? the alternate installer doesn't seem to have a way to manually direct it to the cdrom [23:10] I can try and reproduce the problem if you would tell me the specific hw and version you are using psusi [23:10] psusi: its not the alterate that has the problem... its the full installer like i told L3top but he ignored me. [23:10] L3top, no hardware... qemu vm [23:11] 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] 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] psusi: wow, he listensto you... [23:11] psusi: which version(s) are you having the issiue on. [23:11] iToast, these comments are not helpful [23:11] psusi: when it goes to get a cdrom, don't let it auto find. [23:12] L3top, all non desktop isos from 10.04 to 12.04 [23:12] Tell it nto to search removeable media then specify the directory yourself. [23:12] This isnt really linux related but does anybody here know anything about Googles search Algorithms or Pagerank? [23:12] 32 or 64 [23:12] hey guise.

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

I have a computer that has difficulty changing from one wired network to another. If you reboot it works fine.

[23:14] 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) [23:15] drive* [23:15] oh and it's Ubuntu 10.10 (don't ask why) [23:16] OfficeITGuy150, /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart maybe? otherwise kill dhclient and restart it after plugging into the new network [23:16] OfficeITGuy150: few ways, sudo service networking restart, sudo dhclient , ifdown/up, depends [23:16] 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] invisiblek, are you passing any special options to dd? [23:16] * L3top is dlding a 1204 64 server atm as well [23:16] OfficeITGuy150: dhcp ? [23:16] yes, it's dhcp [23:16] source is individual disk, raid is destination [23:16] OfficeITGuy150: sudo service networking restart, sudo dhclient [23:17] should both do the job [23:17] hey guys [23:17] also, ifconfig says it's wlan1 not eth0, I don't know the difference, does that make a difference? [23:17] i've a problem [23:17] dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/output.img bs=8k count=256k [23:17] oneiric 32 bit server also fails to find the usb [23:17] psusi: !!!!!!!

[23:18] y [23:18] service is external command in debian version [23:18] it will not work if it's not installed [23:18] OfficeITGuy150: also sudo dhclient scans both types of interfaces for a dhcp offer [23:18] anyone does having issues with 12.04 [23:19] use /etc/init.d/networking restart [23:19] DasEi: How do I automatically rename all the files in a directory [23:19] will take me a bit to dl psusi [23:19] well change their extention...

[23:41] !info ffmpeg | smjms [23:41] 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] Jordan_U, no... using usb flash stick [23:41] Loshki: I know... I just like puzzles and he was on ignore. [23:41] ffmpeg is going somewhere at 0.10 I think [23:41] psusi: And you have nothing in your CDROM drive? [23:41] see above [23:41] smjms: what doesn't the version in the repositories do? [23:41] L3top: good for you! [23:41] Jordan_U, I do have a disc in the cdrom, but it's not an install disc [23:42] smjms: echo $LIBRARY_PATH etc [23:42] ActionParsnip: thank you [23:42] no output :I [23:42] psusi: That's odd then. I can't think of why qemu would fail where real hardware would succeed. [23:43] ActionParsnip: do you get anything for $LIBRARY_PATH or $LD_LIBRARY_PATH? i don't. [23:43] smjms: you do not want to touch those variables... [23:43] 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] 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] !compile > smjms [23:43] smjms, please see my private message [23:43] how do i make a symbolic link [23:43] Harris: ln -s TARGET NAME [23:43] the only known (to me) reason qemu fails is because of a vesa bug... not hw init [23:44] zykotick9: not here, but users can set their own variables I guess :) [23:44] jrib: just did a whois, seems dad arrived there ;) [23:44] (harr...) [23:44] i want the folder /home/harris/Desktop/All Music to link to /home/harris/Desktop/Dropbox [23:45] harris : err... [23:45] harris : sudo mkdir /media/vista && sudo chown -R $USER /media/vista , are you still there btw ? [23:45] Harris: "ln -s /home/harris/Desktop/{Dropbox,All\ Music}" would do that, but are you entirely sure that's what you want to do? [23:46] jrib, how do i do that [23:46] 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] jrib, i want the folder /home/harris/Desktop/All Music to link to /home/harris/Desktop/Dropbox [23:46] Darael: we where just in the middle of a local share on a dualboot [23:46] Harris: well ln -s TARGET NAME. Replace target with the target of your symlink and NAME with the name of your symlink === dtech is now known as d-tech [23:47] does anyone know how you can set the defualt contents of the ~/Desktop Folder? [23:47] Darael, i want to sync folders outside of my dropbox folder [23:47] Dayofswords: what do you mean? For a new user? [23:48] 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] Harris: then you want to make the link inside of ~/Dropbox [23:48] how [23:48] Harris: what happened to the local share of vista ? [23:48] hello [23:48] Harris: ln -s /home/harris/Desktop/All\ Music ~/Dropbox/All\ Music will do it [23:48] smjms: probably because you have stuff in /usr/local/ [23:48] reisio: its dacs [23:49] reisio: so its a crash report [23:49] 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] Darael: it does work :) [23:49] jrib: if that's why, I might want to touch those variables [23:50] jrib: yes, when a new user is created, is there a folder somewhere that contains the defualt contents of ~/Desktop [23:50] smjms: you should read the link I gave you [23:50] ActionParsnip: Well, that answers a). That's a start. [23:50] Dayofswords: /etc/skel/ === sk8rbluscat is now known as Skater_2015 [23:50] okay [23:50] 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] newer* [23:50] 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. [23:51] Darael, it work can you help me with the four other folders i have [23:51] I have never borked my system by compiling things [23:51] smjms: I killed several vm's [23:51] /home/harris/Desktop/School to /home/harris/Desktop/Dropbox [23:51] jrib: I think that might just the the home, there no Desktop directory there(10.04 Desktop) [23:51] 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 [23:52] Harris: You were given the syntax: ln -s . Surely you can extrapolate? To give a hint, in each case will be /home/harris/Desktop/Dropbox/. [23:52] Dayofswords: if you create one there it will be copied to new user's homes [23:52] reisio: problem type : crash, annotation; search failed [23:52] jrib: alright, thank you for the help! [23:53] reisio: any idea please? [23:53] Harris: It's also legal to "ln -s /home/harris/Desktop/Dropbox/" if you want to do it in one command. It'll create a symlink to each under /home/harris/Desktop/Dropbox (or whatever else you put in the last position). [23:54] 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. [23:55] hi team [23:55] wasn't it the other way around some time (years?) ago? /usr/local/ was the first to look from, and then /usr/? [23:55] anyone know what's causing this? the main.cf and master.cf works ok on postfix 2.8.5 - http://pastebin.com/Z89q1GMQ [23:56] cakehero: go go go! [23:56] ok [23:57] Darael, it says link broken [23:57] 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] ok to make it easy how do i get spider oak [23:58] !ot | [snake] [23:58] [snake]: #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! [23:58] Harris: What, exactly, did you type? [23:59] well i just closed the terminal [23:59] Harris: Open another, and press the up key.
