| jonf | hi, can anyone tell me how to do a do-release-upgrade to 11.10 on a server? I don't want to go to 12.04LTS at this point. | 00:04 |

| Darael | jonf: Which release are you on at the moment? | 00:05 |
| jonf | 11.04 at this point | 00:05 |
| Harris | Darael, is that a yes | 00:05 |
| Darael | Harris: Why did you try to link with file:// locations? You clearly know that's not what the shell expects, since you told us about /home/harris/Desktop/All\ Music, yet you tried to link the others with Nautilus URIs... why? | 00:06 |

| PringlesCan | Hello all, I was wondering if there's a preferred way to keep manually compiled software up to date? | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Harris: you link them to things INSIDE the folder, not to the folder itself | 00:13 |
| Harris | sorry i tried to do one line | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Harris: think about it | 00:13 |
| Darael | Harris: "ln -s /home/harris/Desktop/{All\ Music,Pictures,School,What\ Have\ you\ Learned\ About\ Ubuntu,Dropbox}" | 00:14 |
| harushimo | you said to do a symbolic link ln -s /usr/shared/applications/Virtual.desktop ~/Desktop/vbox.desktop? | 00:14 |
| harushimo | is that right | 00:14 |
| Harris | do i include the " | 00:14 |
| Darael | Harris: Nope. | 00:14 |
| Harris | so it is ln -s /home/harris/Desktop/{All\ Music,Pictures,School,What\ Have\ you\ Learned\ About\ Ubuntu,Dropbox} | 00:14 |
| Darael | Harris: Correct. | 00:14 |

| Harris | even the period | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Harris: looking at the past commands, haven't you worked out the syntax of ln yet!!? | 00:15 |
| Darael | Harris: What period? There are commas, but no full stops, in that command. | 00:15 |

| jamescarr | where is the picture 12.04 takes through your webcam kept at? | 00:15 |

| Darael | ActionParsnip: Some people refuse to do their own thinking. The syntax has been explicitly provided at least three times, but Harris still wants the command provided. | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Darael: shame | 00:16 |

| locoguano | Quick question. When I open "Additional Drivers", four are listed. Three of them are "NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernal module, and VDPAU library" and one is "nvidia_current_updates". Which one should I use? | 00:17 |
| Harris | and i do do my own work linux is confussing me | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Harris: thinnk about it... ln -s /folder/to/be/linked /link/to/make | 00:18 |
| Chuck_Norris | locoguano: "NVIDIA binary Xorg driver" | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Harris: that's all it is | 00:18 |
| Romance | Hello, i am using ubuntu 11.04 , i accidentally deleted the default python version which is 2.7 , now i can't even go to the terminal or synaptic packet manager , terminal gone , and synaptic give error to load , how do i fix this | 00:18 |
| locoguano | Chuck.. ok.. but there are 3 of them. How do I know which to use? | 00:18 |
| jamescarr | when ubuntu takes a pic of you during setup, where the heck is it stored?! | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | jamescarr: probably in home some place | 00:19 |
| Darael | Romance: press ctl+alt+f1 to get a terminal, log in, type "sudo apt-get install python2.7", complete that, and press ctl+alt+f7 to get back to the GUI. | 00:19 |
| Chuck_Norris | locoguano: take a screenshot | 00:19 |
| gnubie | jamescarr> look in pictures/webcam | 00:19 |
| Darael | Romance: Alternatively, try ctl+alt+t to get a gnome-terminal. | 00:20 |
| locoguano | Just clicked to activate one and it says I have broken packages... (new to linux obviously) | 00:20 |
| toph | can anyone tell me what is wrong with this statement "date %A%_B%_d%_Y %-r%_Z" I'm trying to get it to type out the date and time a specific way. :( | 00:20 |

| Dacs | ActionParsnip: did i had a bad apt deamon or what? also if you don't mind i was talking to you last night and you advised that i use xubuntu , i did install it but it look like unity is still taking control please advise. | 00:20 |
| Darael | toph: You need a + before the %A. | 00:21 |
| Harris | what is a site that has answers to ubuntu questions that i have asked today for example how do you hide a folder | 00:21 |
| Chuck_Norris | locoguano: open a terminal and copy & paste this command: sudo apt-get install -f | 00:21 |

| KRomo | hey guys, i just ran sudo touch /forcefsck and rebooted. where do i see rthe log of fsck? | 00:23 |
| reisio | logs are usually in /var/log/ | 00:23 |
| KRomo | i want to see if it found errors | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | KRomo: less /var/log/fsck | 00:23 |
| KRomo | it says nothing has been logged yet | 00:24 |
| Darael | KRomo: Try /var/log/boot.log perhaps? | 00:24 |
| Dacs | ActionParsnip: when i boot the laptop i can see xubuntu splash , but it boot into unity | 00:24 |
| KRomo | Darael, yes there is a log | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Dacs: the boot splash is irrelevant, you are looging in to Unity session | 00:25 |
| Dacs | ActionParsnip: yes | 00:25 |
| Harris | i have searched all of the sites how do i hide a folder | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Dacs: log off, select Xubuntu session, then log in | 00:25 |
| KRomo | but how do i read this log? | 00:25 |
| KRomo | i dont see any errors in it | 00:25 |
| KRomo | i guess it had no errors :) | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | Harris: Rename it so that it begins with a '.' . | 00:25 |
| Blackshirt | Harris, just prepend it with dot | 00:26 |
| txomon|home | how can I download mini isos from the archives? | 00:26 |
| txomon|home | with apt-get I mean | 00:26 |
| Darael | KRomo: Assuming you've got it up onscreen, and you see no errors, you can either assume there were none or pastebin it and check what the people in here think. | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | txomon|home: the mini iso isn't downloaded with apt-get | 00:26 |
| KRomo | http://pastebin.com/mdiufhHy | 00:26 |
| txomon|home | ActionParsnip, but it is downloaded from mirrors | 00:26 |
| Blackshirt | Txmon: are you sure mini iso available on pool archives? | 00:26 |
| KRomo | how does that look? | 00:26 |
| Darael | txomon|home: The minimal CDs are not packages and cannot be downloaded with apt-get. Use wget instead. | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | txomon|home: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 00:27 |
| txomon|home | yes, but you can specify mirrors for apt, and use them to grab those mini isos | 00:27 |
| KRomo | is that the right log? | 00:27 |
| Harris | so .folder | 00:27 |
| Blackshirt | Harris, yes,,, | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | txomon|home: the ISO isn't downloaed with apt-get | 00:28 |
| KRomo | Darael, can you check out the pastebin? | 00:28 |
| Darael | Harris: You can also hide folders by adding their names (one to a line) to a plain-text line called .hidden in the same folder - this will hide them from the file manager but not the terminal. | 00:28 |
| Blackshirt | Txcomon, apt-get works with .deb file | 00:28 |
| txomon|home | Blackshirt, and with source packages | 00:29 |
| Harris | can you hide it from the desktop | 00:29 |
| Darael | KRomo: Sure, just a mo; working over SSH here, had to remember how to copy-paste in Screen. | 00:29 |
| Darael | Harris: The desktop is implemented by the file manager. If the FM is set to show hidden files, files of the .filename form or those listed in ~/Desktop/.hidden will be shown on the desktop, otherwise they'll be hidden. | 00:30 |
| Darael | KRomo: It certainly looks fine to me. | 00:30 |
| KRomo | it is the right log? | 00:31 |
| KRomo | if there were errors it would be there? | 00:31 |

| Darael | KRomo: That looks like a /var/log/boot.log to me, but I'm not sufficiently intimately familiar with that offhand. | 00:31 |
| locoguano | Chuck: Did "sudo apt-get install -f", still showing 3 drivers, still get "broken packages" when I try to activate one. | 00:31 |

| reisio | Jonii: right | 00:32 |
| Harris | the desktop | 00:32 |
| Jonii | It does not break my ubuntu? | 00:32 |
| reisio | Jonii: it shouldn't, but resizing is not 100% safe | 00:32 |
| reisio | Jonii: you have a backup system for your personal data don't you? :) | 00:32 |
| Jonii | Oh well, new computer, fresh install, nothing of value here | 00:33 |
| reisio | :D | 00:33 |
| Jonii | No I don't have anything like that | 00:33 |
| reisio | Jonii: what're you taking space from? | 00:33 |
| Harris | Darael, i want to hide the dropbox folder | 00:33 |
| Darael | Jonii: No more than the usual risk involved with messing with partitions, which is small but present. Backups are important if there's any of your data on there... and I see reisio has already covered this. | 00:33 |
| Jonii | reisio: windows. I'm hesitant to remove it completely | 00:33 |
| reisio | well see that you acquire something like that once you have data:p | 00:33 |
| BassoPT-MBAir | fancy a bum? | 00:33 |
| Jonii | reisio: how to do something like that? | 00:34 |
| reisio | Jonii: it's a good idea to defrag Windows' file system before resizing them | 00:34 |
| szal | BassoPT-MBAir: pardon? | 00:34 |
| Jonii | reisio: true. I was thinking of doing that | 00:34 |
| Darael | Harris: OK, so you can't rename it because Dropbox won't recognise it, but you /can/ create a plain-text file called .hidden on your desktop and give it the content "Dropbox". You can do that with the command "echo Dropbox > /home/harris/Desktop/.hidden" (no quotes). | 00:34 |
| BassoPT-MBAir | you know a bum | 00:34 |
| reisio | Jonii: if you have two disks, there are a number of methods, otherwise you could use an online solutin, like Ubunutu1 | 00:34 |
| BassoPT-MBAir | man on man action! | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | BassoPT-MBAir: please don't | 00:34 |
| Darael | szal: Don't feed the trolls, please. | 00:34 |

| BassoPT-MBAir | lol | 00:34 |
| Harris | drop box is still there | 00:35 |

| Darael | L3top: VLC is indeed gaining weight, and I wasn't aware that mplayer handled h264 better. Good to know. | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | L3top: i'm not aware of much that vlc can do that mplayer can't do | 00:48 |
| Harris | Darael, please how do i get it i am worried that i lost my folder | 00:48 |
| Darael | Harris: It's not gone. To prove it, issue a "ls Desktop/Dropbox" in a terminal and see that it's still there. | 00:49 |
| L3top | vlc is a strong swiss army knife... it handles dvd navigation, for instance, much better than vlc... | 00:49 |
| L3top | er mplayer | 00:49 |
| r1pp3rj4ck | nvm, solved it with nohup | 00:49 |
| locoguano | L3top: where do I get that error info? | 00:49 |

| Darael | Harris: Indeed, issue an "ls Desktop" in the terminal and if you used the entry-in-.hidden method (rather than the .filename method) it'll show up there, too. | 00:49 |
| MCl0vin | can someone please help me with this issue | 00:49 |
| Harris | Darael, why can i view it then when i click view hidden files and folders | 00:50 |
| L3top | please pastebin the output of dpkg --configure -a | 00:50 |
| L3top | locoguano: ^ | 00:50 |
| Darael | Harris: I don't recall off the top of my head how to refresh the desktop, I'm sorry. I'm working on a server; checking will be tricky. Perhaps someone else knows. | 00:50 |
| locoguano | There was no output. It just went to the next command line. | 00:50 |
| locoguano | L3top: There was no output. It just went to the next command line. | 00:52 |

| locoguano | pretend you are talking to a 5 year old, because that is about where I am with Linux. :) | 00:54 |
| Harris | ActionParsnip, how do i refresh the unity desktop | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Harris: refresh in what way? | 00:55 |
| Blackshirt | Harris you don't need them | 00:55 |
| Harris | ask Darael | 00:55 |
| L3top | locoguano: It appears the canonical gurus have very cleverly replaced their nvidia version in the last week or so... please sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 00:55 |
| Harris | ActionParsnip, ask Darael | 00:56 |
| Pici | ActionParsnip: they're looking for the unity --reset command iirc, or whatever its actually called. | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: sounds like it, just checkin | 00:56 |
| i7c | how could unity need a reset. you can't conf it anyways :D | 00:56 |
| Harris | ActionParsnip, i hid a folder and when i click view hidden folders it doesnt show | 00:57 |
| L3top | i7c: it uses compositing in 3d... you could have redraw problems conceivably | 00:57 |
| locoguano | L3top: thanks | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Harris: I see, why are you storing data on the desktop anyway? | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Harris: you can always browse to the folder in nautilus and access it there | 00:58 |
| tr3nton | doesn't f5 refresh? | 00:59 |
| Harris | i refreshed it and it still doesnt show | 00:59 |

| L3top | MCl0vin: MSS2 is an archaic WMV container. I don't think ANYTHING will play it, though it could be converted. That is like if I wrote my own language, in my own character set, and you asked me for a document reader that would let you read it in a language you know. | 01:14 |

| Darael | toph: You could try using the SSIDs of wifi networks in the area to get a fix - this can be quite accurate, but you have to have access to someone that'll provide that. I don't know how it's done, only that it can be. Suggest searching for "wifi-based geolocation" or something. | 01:37 |

| reisio | the chrome plugin takes the form of a netscape plugin AFAIK, though :p so it's probably a matter of semantics | 01:47 |
| KRomo | Chrome 22 comes with flash 11.3 which is very buggy | 01:47 |
| melodii | KRomo: i use firefox (primarily), chrome, and midori | 01:47 |

| _jeremy_ | dvtm | 01:51 |
| simplew | but i want to change to another distro | 01:51 |
| Darael | LordOfTime: I would file it against grub-pc (unless you're using, for example, grub-efi), or grub-common if it's a bug likely to be independent of which grub2 it is. | 01:51 |
| LordOfTime | Darael: i'll file against what's installed, but meh | 01:52 |

| === ray1claw_afk is now known as ray1claw | ||
| wilee-nilee | LordOfTime, what is the bug? | 01:53 |
| Darael | simplew: Well, there should be no problem using btrfs for /home in Ubuntu, and using it for / is possible, but as I mentioned, likely to be very slow when doing package-management stuff. If you can accept updates taking a *very* long time, go for it. | 01:53 |
| LordOfTime | wilee-nilee: double-detection of Win7 loader, one for the main partition, the other for the windows bootloader, both work, but it results in two entries (Win 7 64bit pro on the other OS - dualboot) | 01:53 |
| Darael | LordOfTime: Ah. That's os-prober, then, IIRC. | 01:54 |

| LordOfTime | Darael: could file against both... :P | 01:55 |
| LordOfTime | then it can be invalid'd against whichever one it isnt :P | 01:55 |
| simplew | Darael:i dont get how would it be painfull, im running btrfs but its a rpm basd distro, maybe thats why i didnt experienced any delays | 01:55 |
| === Guest91707 is now known as _el | ||
| johnnynobody | hmm, even though i setup my firewall to allow port 53 it still shows closed - the dns server is running - what could be causing this? | 01:55 |
| Darael | LordOfTime: You could. It's OS-Prober that does the detection, though. Update-grub calls it. | 01:55 |
| LordOfTime | Darael: i'll file against that | 01:55 |
| === Guest28094 is now known as ethek | ||

| FoolsRun | Hi, once upon a time I could use the standard fsck command to check an hfsplus volume as long as I installed the hfsutils or hfsprogs (not sure which). Now it seems I have to use fsck.hfsplus to check them, and the checking tool is different. Is it possible to get the old tool back which just used fsck? | 01:56 |
| LordOfTime | wilee-nilee: there is no recovery | 01:56 |
| LordOfTime | wilee-nilee: win7 autosets up two partitions: Win7 boot loader on one, C:\ on the other | 01:56 |
| LordOfTime | there is no recovery on OEM installs | 01:56 |
| LordOfTime | (and i mean OEM, installed it myself) | 01:56 |
| wilee-nilee | LordOfTime, would you consider running the bootscript out of curiosity? | 01:56 |
| LordOfTime | wilee-nilee: can't purge it, it'll "Cannot find ntldr" on windows | 01:57 |
| Darael | simplew: dpkg, which is used in all the Debian-family distros, uses lots of fsync(), which is very slow on btrfs. That's a btrfs bug, not a dpkg one, because it does it in order to be /safe/. | 01:57 |
| LordOfTime | wilee-nilee: i'm a windows tech too, so i know not to purge those partitions :P | 01:57 |
| wilee-nilee | LordOfTime, OEM's are also releases from manufacturers they have a recovery. | 01:57 |
| simplew | Darael: so in your prespective a rpm based distro would slow also? | 01:57 |
| LordOfTime | wilee-nilee: if and only if they install it | 01:58 |
| LordOfTime | wilee-nilee: i buy bare OEM drives and OEM Windows to install :p | 01:58 |
| wilee-nilee | LordOfTime, I suspect it is a glitch in the setup not a grub bug but yah never know. | 01:58 |
| Darael | simplew: I wouldn't know; I'm not familiar with rpm's workings. It may have an override to not use fsync when running on btrfs or something, which would trade out safety for acceptable speed. | 01:58 |
| LordOfTime | wilee-nilee: possibly, but unlikely :P its still a possible bug, so... *shurgs* | 01:59 |
| wilee-nilee | !bootinfo | LordOfTime here is the script if you want to take a look | 01:59 |
| ubottu | LordOfTime here is the script if you want to take a look: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 01:59 |
| simplew | Darael: i dont think that would be the case, but i need to know better, anyway thanks | 01:59 |
| Darael | simplew: ...or it may be that rpm just doesn't fsync nearly as much as dpkg. It's possible to make dpkg fast on btrfs, by installing eatmydata and using it (it essentially sets fsync to a no-op), but that trades out safety for speed. | 02:00 |

| Harris | what is the url techquila | 03:40 |
| susanwest | techquilla: that's it thanks. but how does ubuntu know the packages are out of date if it doesn't yet have the updated package descriptions? | 03:40 |

| techquila | Harris: i do love to teach but i lack the time unfortunately.. i've already wasted far too much time here today... very good at procrastinating. I can happily point you to some solid references that will get you started for sure... let me write some down for you. | 03:43 |
| techquila | Harris: I use emacs... the only editor anyone should ever use.. but there is a real steep learning curve ahead of you should you wish to take that path... you won't regret once you get the hang of it tho.. i use it for everything.. i'm even talking to you now through it | 03:45 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont find the emacs learning curve steap. it just that people are not used having to 'learn' how to use a program. :) | 03:46 |
| Chuck_Norris | i like emacs-nox :D | 03:46 |
| techquila | alFReD-NSH: i feel for you buddy.. i've had similar things happen over the years... its all experience though.. hope you learnt to back everything up consistently | 03:47 |
| Chuck_Norris | but i only some little html nothing more :( | 03:47 |
| Chuck_Norris | but i only code* some.... | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | i do rarely use emacs these days. i tend to just do quick edits rarely much more | 03:47 |
| techquila | Dr_Willis: yea i had no trouble either and most nix | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | i did use some micfro emacs on my amiga years ago. ;) | 03:48 |
| techquila | Dr_Willis: 's don't i'd imagine but i'd never recommend anyone from windoze world try | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | i still miss some of the features the cygnusEd editor had on my amiga | 03:48 |
| techquila | Dr_Willis: you any good with the elisp | 03:49 |
| Dr_Willis | never had ti lisp. ;) | 03:49 |
| alFReD-NSH | techquila: but the SMART thingy doesn't say anything bad about my disk, says its healthy... | 03:49 |
| techquila | Dr_Willis: bring those features to life again on emacs with elisp | 03:49 |

| === kardan is now known as Guest57643 | ||

| Dr_Willis | techquila: a main feature of the editor and the amiga os was how most apps had a 'rexx port' for scripting and inter-app communication. a bit hard to recreate. | 03:50 |
| Dr_Willis | alFReD-NSH: smart data is a good guide, but is not always accurate. sadly | 03:51 |
| techquila | alFReD-NSH: chdsk from shell | 03:52 |

| Harris | what is the code that makes HUD work in libre | 03:53 |
| Chuck_Norris | Harris: sudo apt-get install emacs-nox | 03:53 |
| Harris | Chuck_Norris, it says unable to locate package | 03:54 |

| Dr_Willis | xisor: should be. but watch out for space filling up | 03:55 |
| xisor | Dr_Willis: as i said, xbmc is the only thing being added to the default install | 03:55 |
| xisor | Dr_Willis: xbmc library will grow to about 2 gigs of local storage | 03:55 |
| Dr_Willis | apt updates can take a big cache. | 03:55 |
| xisor | Dr_Willis: just need to know if its enough space | 03:56 |
| Harris | Dr_Willis, what was the url | 03:56 |
| Dr_Willis | ive ran full ubuntu installs on 8gb flash drives | 03:56 |

| Dr_Willis | Harris: history command shows your current 'history' | 04:01 |
| techquila | Harris: you run x-window? just go to software sources and find emacs... you want the GNU emacs as opposed to XEMacs... and version 23x | 04:02 |
| Dr_Willis | ShadowFios: so you want a single icon toi launch thunderbird and open up a file manager window at a specific location? | 04:02 |

| techquila | alFReD-NSH: you have a pretty complex issue that i can't really talk you through at this time. If you are unsure how to mount and unmount filesystems and can afford to lose the data on that disk i would suggest a clean install as the best option. and consider whether it is really necessary to encrypt your home directory. | 04:11 |

| si32 | when your laptop does not power off automatically when you go to shut down there is something you can do to fix this; anybody know how? or where the directions are to put in some sort of quarks mode? | 04:22 |
| roasted | reminds me of G J wentworth commercials. It's my gnome and I want it NOW | 04:22 |
| roasted | Abhijit, k, just looks like the end of a man page though | 04:22 |
| Xpl01t | i've installed that gnome shell yestarday | 04:22 |
| netmk | Xpl01t: also, you could learn the hotkeys to quickly swap to different windows and workspaces | 04:22 |
| Xpl01t | now it's hard to create a simple shortcut | 04:22 |
| Harris | i need to sync my tomboy notes with my dropbox account | 04:22 |
| jotaxpe | hi speak spanish? | 04:22 |
| Chuck_Norris | Xpl01t: and, like ubottu told ya there is a lot of desktop enviroments that you can try | 04:22 |
| bazhang | jotaxpe, #ubuntu-es | 04:22 |
| Xpl01t | and to open admin utilitaries (like process manager, etc) | 04:22 |
| Abhijit | Harris, may be in ~/.config | 04:22 |
| jotaxpe | ;) | 04:23 |
| JoseeAntonioR | !es | jotaxpe | 04:23 |
| roasted | You've used Gnome Shell since yesterday, whcih clearly means you haven't used it enough to get used to it. | 04:23 |
| ubottu | jotaxpe: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 04:23 |
| Abhijit | roasted, man page? what are you doing? just type that command? | 04:23 |
| Harris | how do i sync tomboy notes with dropbox | 04:23 |
| Harris | please | 04:23 |
| roasted | Use it more. Give it a time. Get usedt o it. | 04:23 |
| alFReD-NSH | Abhijit: I already have recovered it my home directory, just asking how to make not be encrypted anymore... That is not letting me boot up | 04:23 |
| Chuck_Norris | Xpl01t: no it isn't just do: gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop/ --create-new | 04:23 |
| roasted | Abhijit, yes | 04:23 |
| Xpl01t | and one more time i have to say: thank you for baning me | 04:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Xpl01t: never had any issues. there are indicator-applets thatgive you the old classic gnome menus in unity and gnome-shell | 04:23 |
| roasted | Abhijit, fyi I'm on a laptop if it matters | 04:23 |
| Xpl01t | i came here to express my opinion because it's on the installationg readme.txt that i could come here and talk to the ubuntu comunity | 04:24 |
| Abhijit | roasted, ok executed the command? then now run gksudo modprobe psmouse | 04:24 |
| Xpl01t | and i can see that you dont welcome everyone that comes here | 04:24 |
| reisio | Xpl01t: ah, that reminds me | 04:24 |
| Xpl01t | i felt very upset with your behavior | 04:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Xpl01t: expressing oponions is not support.. and wpould be for the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. | 04:24 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Xpl01t: As mentioned before, this is a support channel. | 04:24 |
| bazhang | Xpl01t, it is offtopic. chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic this is support only not complaints dept | 04:24 |
| Harris | how do i sync tomboy notes with dropbox | 04:24 |
| xangua | Xpl01t: not with that attitude, please drop it | 04:24 |
| Abhijit | Xpl01t, do you have constructive suggestions for ubuntu? | 04:24 |
| bazhang | !brainstorm | Xpl01t | 04:25 |
| ubottu | Xpl01t: Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! | 04:25 |
| Abhijit | :-( | 04:25 |
| roasted | Abhijit, didn't seem to do anything | 04:25 |
| roasted | Abhijit, eh, I'll just reboot once these VMs are done installing | 04:25 |
| xilian | hello | 04:25 |
| roasted | thankfully I have ALT + TAB yet | 04:25 |
| Xpl01t | yea i have a constructive suggestion: just stop using that new gnome or migrate to KDE as default | 04:25 |
| Abhijit | roasted, is that a usb mouse? | 04:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Xpl01t: thats not going to happen. | 04:25 |
| roasted | Abhijit, not sure. It's a laptop. | 04:25 |
| Abhijit | ok | 04:25 |
| Abhijit | roasted, ok then try restarting later on | 04:26 |
| Chuck_Norris | aloha xangua :D | 04:26 |
| Abhijit | Harris, http://lifehacker.com/5302854/synchronize-tomboy-notes-with-dropbox | 04:26 |
| roasted | Abhijit, appreciate the try though! | 04:26 |
| Dr_Willis | wasent there some replacements for tomboy in the 12.04? or in the works? i liked topboys U1 sync feature. but dont use it anymore | 04:27 |
| Chuck_Norris | Dr_Willis: ye | 04:27 |
| Chuck_Norris | i got one called "Gpaste" | 04:27 |
| Dr_Willis | !info gpaste | 04:28 |
| ubottu | Package gpaste does not exist in precise | 04:28 |

| XiRoN | JoseeAntonioR: How? | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis | actually i think we have been very patient andkind with mr. xpl01t | 04:31 |
| reisio | not me, I wasn't involved | 04:31 |
| bdfoster | Dr_Willis, setting 'nomodeset' doesnt change anything. but upon closer inspection (before i changed it), i log in, it shows the desktop background, then shortly after it goes to a black screen with a mouse. maybe a graphics card/unity issue? | 04:31 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Hello everybody. I'm interested in building a new rig and I was wondering if anybody with a UEFI-based board has had trouble getting Ubuntu installed. | 04:31 |
| Chuck_Norris | ye | 04:31 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | I've been kind of worried about being locked into a system where I can't disable secureboot. | 04:31 |
| Dr_Willis | bdfoster: could be a unity setting also. this acleaninstall or a upgrade? | 04:31 |
| bdfoster | clean install | 04:31 |
| JoseeAntonioR | XiRoN: Let me ask you, which version are you using? | 04:31 |
| === totallynotakid is now known as sh511-laptop | ||
| brianpWins | can i just drag the .iso on my mac to a usb stick (fat-32 formatted) plug it into the pc and boot from it ? | 04:32 |
| reisio | Sir_Fawnpug: that's unlikely to be an issue, even when they start shipping | 04:32 |
| si32 | does anybody know the guy who linus uses to fix his new laptop issues? | 04:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Sir_Fawnpug: i dident think secureboot was a feature that was out yet. | 04:32 |
| Abhijit | brianpWins, no | 04:32 |
| Abhijit | !usb | brianpWins | 04:32 |
| si32 | * hint: i think he lives in australia .... | 04:32 |
| ubottu | brianpWins: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 04:32 |
| reisio | si32: his wife is a martial artist | 04:32 |
| XiRoN | JoseeAntonioR: 11.04? | 04:32 |
| Dr_Willis | brianpWins: no.thst wont work. use a tool toput theiso on the USBproperly | 04:32 |
| si32 | reisio: what does that have to do with it? | 04:32 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | reisio, I have seen a bunch of AMD boards with UEFI, wasn't sure if it had shipped. I suppose I should call the manufacturer just to make sure. | 04:32 |
| reisio | si32: puh! | 04:32 |
| reisio | Sir_Fawnpug: UEFI and secure boot aren't the same thing | 04:33 |
| brianpWins | Abhijit: that does not explain the mac to pc process. that explains mac for mac and pc for pc not mac for pc | 04:33 |
| bdfoster | Dr_Willis, clean install. had windoze on it before | 04:33 |
| reisio | Sir_Fawnpug: neither are anything to be worried about | 04:33 |
| Abhijit | brianpWins, ammm??? what you want to do? | 04:33 |
| Dr_Willis | bdfoster: what video card? | 04:33 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | reisio, I understand that. I was asking because I know it's a feature that's supposed to ship with UEFI boards. | 04:33 |
| brianpWins | i'm using a mac to make the usb stick. then installing with the usb stick on a pc | 04:33 |
| reisio | Sir_Fawnpug: what were you asking, again? | 04:33 |
| bdfoster | Dr_Willis, uh, it's a nvidia card, i can get more specific if need be | 04:33 |
| Abhijit | brianpWins, if there is dd command for mac and if there is unetbootin for mac then procedure is same | 04:34 |
| Dr_Willis | bdfoster: you did install thenvidia drivers? | 04:34 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | reisio, I suppose what I was asking is if I am likely going to run into the secureboot issue with the UEFI boards that are already out. | 04:34 |
| Dr_Willis | brianpWins: check the pendrrivelinux site forothermac toolsand guides. | 04:34 |
| paulus68 | I want to create a useraccount for doing backup purposes only how do I achieve this? don't need to have a home directory and other standard stuff for this user | 04:34 |
| JoseeAntonioR | XiRoN: The package is no longer in the repositories, you won't be able to install it unless you get the source from a webpage. | 04:34 |
| bdfoster | Dr_Willis, I didn't install them, dunno if it was done in the install process | 04:34 |
| reisio | Sir_Fawnpug: you could but it's unlikely | 04:35 |
| Dr_Willis | bdfoster: try 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current'and see | 04:35 |
| XiRoN | JoseeAntonioR: How can I do that, I'm very new to linux | 04:35 |
| reisio | Sir_Fawnpug: what you'd want to keep an eye out is for things labelled 'Made for Microsoft Windows 8' or something to that effect | 04:35 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | reisio, ahh, then that's good news. | 04:35 |
| WFPKHC | where may i get the iso for ubuntu dvd iso? | 04:35 |
| Harris | tomboy lens for ubuntu 12.04 | 04:35 |
| reisio | Sir_Fawnpug: to have such a boast associated with a product they're required to use secure boot | 04:35 |
| Abhijit | WFPKHC, ubuntu.com | 04:35 |
| reisio | Sir_Fawnpug: without such a boast they are under no such obligation to Microsoft | 04:35 |
| JoseeAntonioR | XiRoN: You would have to search for the package in google, for example | 04:35 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | reisio, right, I know that the x86 certification program requires a way to get rid of it. | 04:35 |
| bdfoster | Dr_Willis, already installed and current. | 04:36 |
| reisio | they aren't really out yet anyways, the Windows 8 tablets | 04:36 |
| WFPKHC | Thank you for that response - is there someone who could provide me with another answer? | 04:36 |
| Harris | is the tomboy lens available for ubuntu 12.04 | 04:36 |
| reisio | and the Android tablets are always going to be cheaper | 04:36 |
| reisio | and more likely to be supported by Linux drivers out of the box | 04:36 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | reisio, ahh, well I'm definitely avoiding the ARM hardware. I'm probably going to get an RPI or Beagleboard instead. | 04:36 |
| JoseeAntonioR | WFPKHC: releases.ubuntu.com | 04:36 |
| Dr_Willis | bdfoster: as a test you could make a new user. see if they have the same issue.also youmay wan tto try some alternative desktop like lubuntu untill you figure out whats going on with unity. | 04:37 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | That is Windows 8 ARM hardware. | 04:37 |
| reisio | Sir_Fawnpug: those are ARM, IIRC | 04:37 |
| reisio | Sir_Fawnpug: oh :) | 04:37 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | reisio, yeah, I don't mind ARM itself. | 04:37 |
| WFPKHC | thank you i will try that | 04:37 |
| Chuck_Norris | bdfoster: click in the Dash and write: nvidia | 04:37 |
| reisio | Sir_Fawnpug: yeah you won't find any issues on such conscientious offerings | 04:37 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Just the hardware under the Windows 8 certification program. | 04:37 |
| Dr_Willis | bdfoster: ive heard of others with a simile r issue. it maybe some config file needs removied. but i never noticed an exact fix for theissue. | 04:37 |
| bdfoster | Chuck_Norris, there is no dash homey | 04:37 |
| reisio | Sir_Fawnpug: it'll just be Windows 8 tablets, some of them, and possibly some Apple ones in future | 04:37 |
| paulus68 | I want to create a useraccount for doing backup purposes only how do I achieve this? | 04:37 |
| reisio | Sir_Fawnpug: and of course it'll only be an issue before people figure out how to work around it :p | 04:37 |
| bdfoster | Dr_Willis, same effect on a new user | 04:38 |
| Chuck_Norris | bdfoster: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade | 04:38 |
| JoseeAntonioR | !patience | paulus68 | 04:38 |
| ubottu | paulus68: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 04:38 |
| bdfoster | Chuck_Norris, no... | 04:38 |
| Dr_Willis | bdfoster: you may want to try to install the gnome-shell and see if it or the gnome fallbackmodes work also. | 04:38 |
| Abhijit | paulus68, http://askubuntu.com/questions/29359/how-to-add-user-without-home | 04:38 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | reisio, haha, well I suppose I'm not hedging my bets on it. I'd rather work with unencumbered software anyway, I'm playing around with OS dev, and I'd like to... you know... be able to boot my kernel, haha | 04:38 |
| paulus68 | Abhijit: thanks | 04:38 |
| reisio | yeah | 04:38 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | So RPI and BeagleBone are definitely peices of hardware I'm going to buy. | 04:39 |
| reisio | not sure what you'll get out of both | 04:39 |
| chosendescent | hi | 04:39 |
| reisio | besides just variety of experience | 04:39 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Cheap development platforms, really. | 04:39 |
| reisio | I mean out of getting each :) | 04:39 |
| reisio | but hey they're cheap | 04:39 |
| WFPKHC | is there a place where i can download the entire ubuntu iso? not desktop or server but the whole thing? | 04:39 |
| bdfoster | Dr_Willis, is there a unity 2d? | 04:39 |
| chosendescent | Just installed Ubuntu over Win 8 | 04:39 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Both are pretty enticing, they have a lot of I/O exposed IIRC. | 04:39 |
| bdfoster | as opposed to a 3d? | 04:39 |
| Dr_Willis | bdfoster: yep. that maybe worth tryingalso | 04:39 |
| reisio | I was going to get a raspberry pi, but the availability makes the low cost less effective :p | 04:39 |
| Dr_Willis | !info unity-2d | 04:39 |

| reisio | chosendescent: gj | 04:40 |
| JoseeAntonioR | WFPKHC: What do you mean by the whole thing? | 04:40 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Right, the low availability is the kicker. | 04:40 |
| Abhijit | WFPKHC, what do you mean by the whole thing? all the software packages? | 04:40 |
| bdfoster | Dr_Willis, thx! | 04:40 |
| reisio | $25/$35 is great, but only if you can get one easily | 04:40 |
| reisio | I got my email about the second batch, but, it's kind of spoiled it for me :p | 04:40 |
| reisio | in a year or two, though, there'll be no such issues, and more competitors, and lower prices | 04:40 |
| chosendescent | Thanks reisio just been trying out all the different OS on netbook to see what works best Win 8 = suck!!! | 04:40 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | reisio, I remember VIA working on a similar board, not sure how hacker friendly it's going to be. | 04:40 |
| reisio | chosendescent: don't like the metro? :p | 04:41 |
| WFPKHC | well in another linux distro they have a dvd version that is 3.6gb | 04:41 |
| bdfoster | Dr_Willis, looks like it's already installed, is there a way to disable the 3d stuff? | 04:41 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | But it'd make an interesting target | 04:41 |
| chosendescent | dont like anything about it | 04:41 |
| Dr_Willis | bdfoster: seelct unity 2d at the loginscreen | 04:41 |
| JoseeAntonioR | WFPKHC: "the whole thing" is in the Desktop CD | 04:41 |
| bdfoster | cool | 04:41 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | I can see thin client written all over it. | 04:41 |
| bdfoster | alright gonna try | 04:41 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl.. got a job to do | 04:41 |
| JoseeAntonioR | WFPKHC: the operating system is in there | 04:41 |
| reisio | chosendescent: did you like 7? | 04:41 |
| WFPKHC | if i download the desktop version can i install server software on it? | 04:41 |
| reisio | WFPKHC: yup | 04:41 |
| Harris | i synced tomboy notes with my desktop and i double clicked on it on the desktop and it said no applications can oppen note | 04:41 |
| WFPKHC | will there be any difference in performance? | 04:42 |
| chosendescent | Not really I basically stopped liking windows after xp | 04:42 |
| reisio | WFPKHC: the only difference between them is the default config/preinstalled software | 04:42 |

| reisio | frankz: obviously | 04:43 |
| Abhijit | paulus68, i think thats mentioned in that thread. it do not give access through ssh. read it carefully. | 04:43 |
| chosendescent | The penquin | 04:43 |
| JoseeAntonioR | WFPKHC: then go for the 64 bit version, it's just a generic name that stuck with it | 04:43 |

| reisio | just a general rule, security issues are addressed by updating | 05:32 |
| lotuspsychje | is it possible to encrypt an usb so any Os can't read it? | 05:37 |
| reisio | lotuspsychje: mmm, well you could easily include the software for decrypting it on a non-encrypted portion | 05:38 |
| reisio | truecrypt is cross platform | 05:38 |
| reisio | you might look for something else that is, though | 05:38 |
| reisio | dubious origins, truecrypt | 05:38 |
| lotuspsychje | reisio: so after truecrypting an usb you cannot read from lets say win7? | 05:39 |
| reisio | lotuspsychje: oh so any OS _can't_ read it? | 05:39 |
| reisio | encrypted is encrypted | 05:39 |
| reisio | you need the pass/key to read it | 05:39 |
| reisio | regardless of OS | 05:39 |
| lotuspsychje | interesting | 05:39 |
| reisio | unless the algorithm is so outdated that you can brute force it | 05:39 |

| === Panda is now known as Guest4060 | ||
| root__ | hello | 05:40 |

| lotuspsychje | reisio: ok tnx mate | 05:41 |
| reisio | lotuspsychje: now there are various approaches to obtaining an encryption key, but one must have it to decrypt modern encryption | 05:42 |
| lotuspsychje | reisio:modern? | 05:42 |
| reisio | someone could place a covert hardware keylogger on your system, or a software logger, or break into your box and steal your RAM, etc. | 05:42 |
| reisio | modern, any implementation you'd find available today | 05:42 |
| lotuspsychje | reisio: oh ic | 05:42 |
| reisio | the older a scheme gets the more vulnerable it is to brute force | 05:42 |
| reisio | because computers can crunch more numbers faster every day, for less | 05:43 |
| pbx2 | for the hardware keylogger they have to come back to collect the data though | 05:43 |
| lotuspsychje | reisio: im also always kinda paranoia about 'security' cause new tricks every day | 05:43 |
| reisio | mmhmmm | 05:43 |
| reisio | but to really be worried about such things, you'd have to have some pretty important data | 05:43 |

| reisio | intok: not sure mkfs provides that itself, you could dd first though (be careful) | 05:47 |
| intok | pbx2 yeah in OS X it's under the advvanced options for formating in Disk Utility, the default was the quick format, advanced was just that | 05:48 |
| reisio | actually Windows doesn't zero before formatting, and never has | 05:48 |
| reisio | it does have a quick mode and a non-quick mode though | 05:48 |

| windbuntu | its not even using much ram | 06:18 |
| tuxgeek | windbuntu: correct! | 06:18 |
| pbx2 | windbuntu, probably not even using all your hardware :) | 06:19 |
| pbx2 | due to lack of drivers | 06:19 |
| tuxgeek | :) | 06:19 |
| windbuntu | so i really cant justify even trying the lighter distro anymore | 06:19 |
| Dr_Willis | cant say that im missing any drivers. but i did research befor i bought my wifi dongle. ;) | 06:19 |
| tuxgeek | ubuntu has no driver issues on fairly modern HW... | 06:20 |
| tuxgeek | seamless...perfect! | 06:20 |
| susundberg | huh no?, i just did fresh install 12.04 and the machine booted with blank screen .. | 06:20 |
| Dr_Willis | i had harder time finding wifi drivers for my old pci wifi card on windows7 . :) | 06:20 |
| MrNaz_out | im trying to get my firewire device working in ubuntu 12.04 but i cant seem to... previously i would just do "sudo modprobe raw1394 ieee1394 video1394 ohci1394" on a fresh install and it would all work... but in 12.04 i'm getting "modulie raw1394 not found" ... has firewire support changed recently? | 06:21 |
| Dr_Willis | susundberg: blank as in black with a lashing cursor? | 06:21 |

| obelus | xisorshadow: Alright, then you'd want chromium-browser & on one line, then xbmc & on the other line | 07:00 |
| obelus | The page I linked should tell you the rest that you need to know | 07:00 |
| obelus | I've never tried it though | 07:00 |
| obelus | I might give it a try in a VM shortly if you have trouble with it | 07:00 |
| lotuspsychje | goddard:you want a full rss list inside a media player, so when u click it opens the video? | 07:01 |
| xisorshadow | obelus, where can i find my existing session files? i could edit the session xbmc created and add chromium to that | 07:01 |

| server_ | 有中国人吗 | 07:02 |
| chu | xisorshadow: ~/.bash_profile assuming you want it applied to your current account. | 07:02 |
| cbm | if i want to grep anything.txt in a txt file what should i do ??? | 07:02 |
| killuaaaaa | red_baron: X | 07:02 |

| wookienz | hi, i am trying to compile a davicom dm9601 usb to ethernet module. I m getting htese errors. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1017488/ any ideas? | 07:03 |
| DJones | !cn | server_ | 07:04 |
| ubottu | server_: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw | 07:04 |
| chu | xisorshadow: Well, it should be in your home directory. If it's not there, just create the file. | 07:04 |
| goddard | lotuspsychje: ya | 07:04 |
| ServerCrash | hi, i have written an dameon init script and placed it in /etc/init.d/ and made it start at boot, now my scripts gets executed before the kernel modules are loaded | 07:05 |
| xisorshadow | chu, there are existing session types already, i want to edit one of those, wouldnt that imply not having to create something? | 07:05 |
| ServerCrash | thus failing my daemon , is there anyway i can delay the execution of init script exectution till the kernel modules are loaded | 07:06 |
| chu | I have no idea what you're ever trying to do. | 07:06 |
| xisorshadow | chu, im trying to edit the xbmc session to add chromium browser to it, so itll load the browser in the background when i use an xbmc session | 07:06 |
| obelus | xisorshadow: I'm powering up an Ubuntu 12.04 desktop VM to check where they are | 07:06 |
| obelus | Just a minute | 07:06 |
| xisorshadow | so only xbmc and chromium are running | 07:06 |
| chu | xisorshadow: I don't know what xbmc is. | 07:06 |
| xisorshadow | chu it is xbox media center, its for setting up a home theater pc | 07:06 |
| lotuspsychje | goddard: cant you just load up rss into indicator area, then open up the video(or u want just into the mediaplayer) | 07:07 |

| chu | xisorshadow: From what I understand, you just need to create a ~/.bash_profile file, with some text saying launch chromium, but I don't really know what you're trying to do, so just ignore me. | 07:08 |
| obelus | chu, xisorshadow: No, creating a new bash_profile to launch only chromium won't help much. But if it launched both chromium and xbmc, it would. Trying to locate where the default session is stored currently | 07:09 |
| goddard | lotuspsychje: well on totem i have a sidebar that lists all the videos which is nice and I can just click and stream the video.. which is nice, but it doesn't support multiple playlists and it saves them to a file... which is odd | 07:09 |
| lotuspsychje | goddard:for more rss feeds adding into vlc, you need to seperate with | | 07:09 |
| chu | obelus: I have no idea what xmbc is, but here: http://pastebin.com/8UKJzeBS (you can take over now) | 07:10 |
| chu | (obelus: that's a ~/.bash_profile file) | 07:10 |
| obelus | That will just launch it when you start bash, I imagine. Does NOT seem very helpful. | 07:12 |
| chu | You could add startx & to the end and it will also launch X. | 07:12 |
| obelus | It'd be more helpful as an .xinitrc file | 07:12 |
| obelus | chu, no, that would NOT help. That would require logon at console first, then it would try and fail to launch two X applications before launching X itself | 07:12 |
| haneefmubarak | or use sudo service start lightdm | 07:12 |
| goddard | lotuspsychje: thanks for yoru help.. i guess none of the players work well with what im trying to do or would prefer | 07:13 |
| fate | basically pulse audio isnt cutting it | 07:13 |
| obelus | If that was a .xsession file, it would likely help. | 07:13 |
| fate | what audio lib shoululd i use? | 07:13 |
| fate | i get bad tones | 07:13 |
| fate | some stuff i cant hear | 07:13 |
| fate | pc is old | 07:14 |
| haneefmubarak | fate: Are you sure that your speakers/headphones work, and also that your sound chip/card all work perfectly first? | 07:14 |
| fate | yes they work | 07:14 |
| fate | i tried on windows | 07:14 |
| fate | like sometimes it sounds fine | 07:15 |
| fate | but say different parts of a song | 07:15 |
| fate | maybe one part will be lower tone | 07:15 |
| fate | or another part will sound like 70's vinyls | 07:15 |
| nights | hey' | 07:15 |
| haneefmubarak | That really isn't the OS or a driver in that case... | 07:15 |
| nights | im losing my head trying to find a SIMPLE server music player that has a decent web interface | 07:15 |
| nights | i dont streaming and all that junk | 07:15 |
| fate | no it is | 07:15 |
| nights | i just want it to playback on the server | 07:15 |
| fate | it works on windows | 07:15 |
| nights | is that impossible? | 07:16 |
| haneefmubarak | Give me a minute, I remember a really good one, I'm finding it... | 07:16 |
| nights | haneefmubarak: really? | 07:16 |
| haneefmubarak | Yeah... | 07:16 |
| nights | that would be awesome | 07:17 |
| haneefmubarak | I've used subsonic, but it kinda sucks. | 07:17 |
| nights | should be so simple, yet all i can find is for local playback through streams | 07:17 |
| nights | ah | 07:17 |
| nights | but isnt that also for local playback? | 07:17 |
| haneefmubarak | I remember a really awesome one that can stream to loads of devices easily though... | 07:17 |
| nights | but i dont want to stream | 07:17 |
| nights | man | 07:17 |
| haneefmubarak | Give me a minute, nights. | 07:17 |
| nights | why doesnt anyone get it :( | 07:17 |
| nights | i just want to control the server playback through a web interface | 07:17 |
| haneefmubarak | What are you trying to do? | 07:17 |
| haneefmubarak | Why the hell would you want to do that? | 07:18 |
| nights | the server has the speaks | 07:18 |
| nights | speakers | 07:18 |
| haneefmubarak | I mean, you can, but why? | 07:18 |
| nights | and we are a few person using it for playing music | 07:18 |
| haneefmubarak | So walk over and do whatever you need to…. | 07:18 |
| nights | no .. it doesnt have convenient physical access | 07:19 |
| haneefmubarak | nights? | 07:19 |
| haneefmubarak | What do you mean? | 07:19 |
| nights | its locked away | 07:19 |
| fate | im gonna try alsa | 07:19 |
| nights | basically remote desktop works ok | 07:19 |
| cbm | hi all how can i replace all the "\n" with "\t" in a txt file | 07:19 |
| nights | but its not really what i want | 07:19 |
| nights | cbm: search replace in any text editor. | 07:19 |
| cbm | but it is \n | 07:20 |
| haneefmubarak | How far is it from where you'd like to access? | 07:20 |
| cbm | it seems replace is not working with \n | 07:20 |
| nights | its 100 meter | 07:20 |
| nights | why does it mater | 07:20 |
| nights | matter | 07:20 |
| haneefmubarak | Ok... | 07:21 |
| nights | this is the most simple problem ever | 07:21 |
| haneefmubarak | Have you thought about KVM? | 07:21 |
| nights | my last option is to write my own software | 07:21 |
| nights | but it will take atleast 2 days | 07:21 |
| nights | KVM | 07:21 |
| nights | never heard of it | 07:21 |
| haneefmubarak | KeyboardVideoMouse | 07:21 |
| nights | ah | 07:21 |
| nights | well | 07:21 |
| nights | i can see now that im not getting any help from here | 07:21 |
| nights | thanks anyway | 07:22 |
| haneefmubarak | Those three things over LAN to a receiver box, generally work well in production environments, nights. | 07:22 |
| nights | so is that what you consider a web interface then? | 07:22 |
| nights | wasnt that my question | 07:22 |
| fate | nights: jack | 07:23 |
| nights | not how to use fucking keyboard & mouse | 07:23 |
| haneefmubarak | No, but it's certainly a better solution. | 07:23 |
| fate | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JACK_Audio_Connection_Kit | 07:23 |
| nights | god.- | 07:23 |
| fate | i found that | 07:23 |
| Tm_T | nights: please language | 07:23 |
| fate | trying to fix my problem | 07:23 |
| nights | just ban me i dont care. | 07:23 |
| fate | s a professional sound server, which provides real-time, low latency (i.e. 5 milliseconds or less) audio performance and, since JACK2, supports efficient load balancing by utilizing symmetric multiprocessing, that is the load of all audio clients can be distributed among several processors. Audio clients can be arbitrarily connected with each other. | 07:23 |
| red_baron | how can I stop entering in idle the ubuntu 10.04? | 07:23 |
| haneefmubarak | Realize that a web interface is severely resource consuming. | 07:24 |
| nights | lol | 07:24 |
| fate | lolwut | 07:24 |
| nights | you have no idea what you are talking about | 07:24 |
| fate | how is a web interface resource consuming? | 07:24 |
| nights | lol | 07:24 |
| nights | that was funny | 07:24 |
| haneefmubarak | red_baron: What kind of computer do you have (specs always help!)? | 07:24 |
| red_baron | FSC desktop | 07:24 |
| red_baron | proc. celeron 2,6, 512mb ram? | 07:25 |
| Noiano | hello | 07:25 |
| red_baron | I can set the idle timeout at screensavers | 07:25 |
| haneefmubarak | red_baron: Your computer is sort of outdated… Have you thought of Lubuntu? | 07:25 |
| red_baron | but the maximum is 2 h only :( | 07:25 |
| Noiano | can anybody help me? I'm on 12.04 and lightdm won't start. I have to manually start logging from text console.... | 07:25 |
| haneefmubarak | Noiano: What kind of computer do you have? | 07:25 |
| red_baron | it's working perfectly with 10.04 ubuntu | 07:26 |
| Noiano | haneefmubarak, laptop, dell inspiron 1720 | 07:26 |

| haneefmubarak | strictland: try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WakeOnLan | 07:26 |
| Niranjan | hi | 07:27 |
| haneefmubarak | Noiano: try using a LiveCD to repair it. | 07:27 |
| Tiktalik | I have a 400 kilobyte text file that needs editing | 07:27 |
| Tiktalik | What can I use to edit it | 07:27 |
| Noiano | haneefmubarak, It works, only it doesn't start at boot, I have to manually start it | 07:27 |
| Niranjan | you can use gedit | 07:27 |
| haneefmubarak | Tiktalik: Are you comfortable with the command line interface? | 07:27 |
| Niranjan | or if u know using Vi or Vim editor then use it | 07:27 |
| haneefmubarak | Noiano: Explain further, please. | 07:28 |
| Noiano | haneefmubarak, each time I turn on my pc | 07:28 |
| Tiktalik | I'm actually on arch haneefmubarak, but vim doesn't want to load it it seems | 07:28 |
| haneefmubarak | Niranjan: Vi/vim is too hard for most. | 07:28 |
| obelus | Tiktalik: Nano? Pretty simple editor. | 07:28 |
| Niranjan | u can' use command line until u close it | 07:28 |
| Noiano | I only get the text console, I have to login in one of them and invoke sudo service lightdm start | 07:28 |
| haneefmubarak | Thats what I was about to recommend. | 07:28 |
| obelus | Tiktalik: Also, pico or ee is good if you don't have nano available. | 07:29 |
| manzamanna | hello everybody, I'm on a netbook with 1024x600 display resolution. Some programs has minimal resolution at 1024x768. Is it possible to have something like a "virtual resolution" with slide? I mean keeping display resolution at 1024x600 but sliding moving mouse cursor. | 07:29 |
| haneefmubarak | Noiano: Make a service script to auto-start it? | 07:29 |
| haneefmubarak | manzamanna: Sorry, no. | 07:29 |
| R0n[[Y]] | hello, someone can help me i enter in ubuntu-es but nothing can help me... i dont know a lot of english | 07:30 |
| Noiano | haneefmubarak, how? I've tried update-rc but doesn't work | 07:30 |
| obelus | manzamanna: Ah, I used to have that problem on my old netbook. Only solution I found in the end was starting Windows for those problem, as my drivers in Windows had a 1024x768 mode that worked pretty well. | 07:30 |
| K-Lab | Mornin ! | 07:30 |
| haneefmubarak | Noiano: I'm not advanced enough to help you past this point, sorry. Try the forums: forums.ubuntu.com | 07:31 |
| R0n[[Y]] | hello, someone can help me i enter in ubuntu-es but nothing can help me... i dont know a lot of english | 07:31 |
| Dynetrekk | hi, I installed hte xfce package (12.04 LTS server) but lots of icons etc are missing. what do I do? | 07:31 |
| haneefmubarak | R0n[[Y]]: Try asking in #ubuntu-es | 07:32 |
| haneefmubarak | (Just click the link. | 07:32 |
| rigved | Dynetrekk: did you install the xubuntu-desktop package? | 07:32 |
| R0n[[Y]] | anything answere me | 07:32 |
| Dynetrekk | rigved: nope | 07:32 |
| Dynetrekk | rigved: I'll do that then | 07:32 |
| sacarlson | wookienz: I verified I get the same error when I tried to compile same driver, I see this http://ak-hacks.blogspot.com/2010/01/linux-usb-ethernet-driver-davicom.html but fail to find the patch they point to | 07:32 |
| R0n[[Y]] | haneefmubarak> anything answere me | 07:33 |
| rigved | Dynetrekk: i do not know if this is the solution to your problem, but it is the correct way to get the XFCE DE in Ubuntu. | 07:33 |
| manzamanna | mmm.. haneefmubarak obelus, and remoting my desktop to another pc? do you think I can resize resolution? | 07:33 |
| Dynetrekk | rigved: sounds likely. I just installed xfce | 07:33 |
| goddard | ok i keep getting an error trying to sign my dsc files | 07:33 |
| goddard | says it can't open .gnupg/secring.gpg | 07:34 |
| wookienz | sacarlson, yes, same. I ended up using modprobe usbnet then modprobe dm9601.ko and i think it works as the module is loaded...i have yet to test the actauly device. | 07:34 |
| goddard | how can i solve this? | 07:34 |
| haneefmubarak | manzamanna: if you connect another monitor to it via cable, you could easily do what you'd like (if your graphics will support that)... | 07:34 |
| DjAngo23 | Hello everyone. This morning (europe) I started my 1 week old laptop, and sudenly the SSD dirve had disappeard. There were some important data on it. Anyone any idea? sudo blkid does not see the drive, but the disk utility does | 07:34 |
| vexaxv | im running ubuntu 12.04 and i installed bastion from the humble bundle and this is what i get in the terminal http://pastebin.com/7SSV6DnN after it starts it closes | 07:34 |
| wookienz | sacarlson, i tried modprobe dm960 earlier but didnt work, the usbnet before hand seemed to fi it no idea what that does. | 07:34 |
| manzamanna | haneefmubarak: I know, but I have not a display, only another bigger notebook | 07:35 |
| sacarlson | wookienz: I also noted that it seems it will only work at 10mbit and they might try to set it to 100mbit, not sure it's related to your problem, good luck | 07:36 |
| haneefmubarak | So just use the notebook by itself... | 07:36 |
| wookienz | sacarlson, thanks for your help. It is only a temp cheapo adapter until i find my real one! | 07:36 |
| vexaxv | does anyone play Bastion on ubuntu 12.04?? | 07:37 |
| haneefmubarak | vexaxv: Please go to #ubuntu-offtopic for such questions... | 07:37 |
| goddard | says it can't open .gnupg/secring.gpg | 07:38 |
| DjAngo23 | Anyone any experience with the abow SSD problem? | 07:38 |
| acicula | DjAngo23: does the drive show in the bios? | 07:39 |
| DjAngo23 | Yes | 07:39 |
| DjAngo23 | Even in gparted and disk utility | 07:39 |
| acicula | k | 07:39 |
| DjAngo23 | It says /dev/sdb1 file system unknown | 07:39 |
| acicula | so the device name exists | 07:39 |
| acicula | DjAngo23: k so the filesystems is corrupted | 07:40 |
| DjAngo23 | Is there a way to repair it, or do i have to format? | 07:40 |
| acicula | DjAngo23: did you try running the filesystem checkker for its file system in read only mode ? | 07:40 |
| peter__ | .... | 07:40 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23 !! before you wipe do a "dd in=/dev/[drive] out=file_image.img" | 07:40 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, I cant find the disk in /dev/ | 07:42 |
| acicula | DjAngo23: if the filechecker cant recognize the disk it wont be able to repair it, copying all your data using dd is a good choice if you want to do analysis at a later date, sometimes its possible to recover some files from disk images | 07:42 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: is there still a partition on it? It doesn't have to have a known file system just the /dev/sdb[something] | 07:42 |
| DjAngo23 | Which dir are the ssd' s ? | 07:42 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: can you pastbin the result of "fdisk -l" (that's a L) | 07:42 |
| DjAngo23 | sure. 1 sec | 07:43 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: that will output all partitions. Also run with sudo or be root | 07:43 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: being root is important for it to work | 07:43 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, I can send you the fdisk -l, but the drive does not show up. | 07:43 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: that's ok let's just see what you have for partition structure. Just to see if we can do some tricks to rescue the filesystem | 07:44 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: past.ubuntu.com | 07:44 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: if you have a fresh boot we can also look at "dmesg > output_from_dmesg.log" | 07:46 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, I does appear finaly. I didn't look right. Here is the fstab -l http://pastebin.com/qWuEz4m2 | 07:46 |
| ca | Is there any way to get a macbook to properly | 07:46 |
| ca | properly handle closing the lid with an external monitor attached | 07:46 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: cool thanx, one sec while exam | 07:46 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: nice. good we have the partition intact. | 07:47 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: just curious, do you happen to remember the type of file system used? (ext4, ntfs, fat32, etc.) | 07:48 |
| DjAngo23 | sure i did. it' s ext4 | 07:49 |
| DjAngo23 | Does my laptop maybe restored the old hybernation disk on it. But I don't think so. | 07:50 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: we may be able to fix real quick. But I'd like to make an image of the partition before doing such. | 07:50 |
| DjAngo23 | Sounds more secure ;) So let' s do it | 07:50 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: SSD drives are tricky to recover do to solid state nature vs disk/magnetic structure | 07:50 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: good choice. It may take awhile, but at least we'll have an image before tampering with the partition. | 07:51 |
| DjAngo23 | The disk is only 20g, but it wil take the time needed. | 07:52 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: let me check some documention on the command "dd" one sec while I review. | 07:52 |
| DjAngo23 | dd | 07:52 |
| DjAngo23 | oups | 07:52 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: quicker than you think though it's SSD ;) | 07:52 |
| DjAngo23 | Thanks already for your time | 07:54 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: I've got a 16GB flash so let me run a quick test first. But if you'd like some reading material check out "man dd". | 07:54 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: no prob. | 07:55 |
| bytesofbinary | guys, how do I share a wired internet connection via wifi? (I want to tether it to my phone actually) | 07:55 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: ok while that's running I give an over-view of the steps | 07:57 |
| ajvpot | is there a command to "tail -f" a csv file and display the output "nicely" in formatted columns? | 07:57 |
| pepee | bytesofbinary, in android? | 07:57 |
| bytesofbinary | pepee: yes | 07:58 |
| wiherek | Hi | 07:58 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: the command that we'll run (after I test it) is, "sudo dd bs=512 if=/dev/sdc1 of=/home/user/flash.img" | 07:58 |
| wiherek | I want to create a symbolic link between two directories on two machines connected via ssh | 07:58 |
| wiherek | how can I accomplish that? | 07:58 |
| pepee | bytesofbinary, download barnacle wifi tether | 07:59 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: next before we mess with the actual partition is to mount the image and see if we can't get at the data. All while preserving the original partition. | 07:59 |
| bytesofbinary | pepee: thanx a lot man!!! | 07:59 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, should i use sdc1 or my sdb1 | 07:59 |
| pepee | though it never worked for me | 07:59 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: good, my flash-drive is sdc1 but you would want to use your device name which is... | 08:00 |
| DjAngo23 | Perfect | 08:00 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: sdb1 | 08:00 |
| goddard | lotuspsychje: i found a great one | 08:00 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, It's doing something. | 08:01 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: so it will look like, "sudo dd bs=512 if=/dev/sdb1 of=/home/INSERTYOURUSERNAME/backup.img" | 08:01 |
| bytesofbinary | pepee: I saw the thing now, its not what I want. I wanted to connect the phone to internet via the computers lan connection | 08:02 |
| DjAngo23 | It's copying. Memory is jumping, and hardrive is working. Waiting for some feedback from terminal | 08:02 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: go ahead and run that command, but you'll want to change the end of "of=" to your home dir or some file system with at least 20GB | 08:02 |
| pepee | bytesofbinary, you can do the adb tool that comes with the android SDK | 08:02 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: don't worry it's not very verbose | 08:03 |
| DjAngo23 | It's what i got. The computer is quite slow. | 08:03 |
| bytesofbinary | pepee: is that the only method? :( | 08:03 |
| pepee | bytesofbinary, the only one I know | 08:03 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: I've got 4cores@2.5GHz/8GB-RAM/16GB-partition and it's still running | 08:04 |
| bytesofbinary | pepee: hmmm, thanx :) | 08:05 |
| pepee | bytesofbinary, I suppose you can do that in some other way, but no idea how | 08:05 |
| goddard | OMG watching videos just got SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better | 08:05 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: if you'd like to check that it's running you can run the "top" command. Look for "dd" and some % of CPU use | 08:05 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: in another terminal | 08:05 |
| bytesofbinary | pepee: I'm actually coming from windows, I used connectify there. Was as easy as 1+1 :P | 08:05 |
| manzamanna | haneefmubarak obelus, I get it work with xrandr. thanks anyway | 08:06 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, htop says 98%, so it's working. | 08:06 |
| haneefmubarak | Oh, you're more than welcome, manzamanna, even I didn't really help much. | 08:06 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, It' s finished: 20012072960 bytes (20 GB) copied, 358.01 s, 55.9 MB/s | 08:07 |
| goddard | my CPU is always MAXed out but my system isn't even going over 4GB of ram | 08:07 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: is that "%id" ? or under the "%CPU " ? | 08:07 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, Does not matter anymore. It' s finished copying | 08:08 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: wow, that was quick. Thinking too quick, didn't see your response fast enough. lol | 08:08 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: ok next stage. let's navigate to /mnt | 08:09 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, So, you want to mount it next riwght? | 08:09 |
| DjAngo23 | done. | 08:09 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: exactly. The command is, "sudo mount -o ro,loop /mnt/some_dir /home/yourusername/backup.img" | 08:10 |
| unimatrix_overlo | The command is, "sudo mount -o ro,loop : | 08:10 |
| unimatrix_overlo | crap keyboard.... grrr. | 08:10 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: now navigate to /mnt/somedir | 08:11 |
| llutz | unimatrix_overlo: vice versa: mount "what.img" "where/to/mount" | 08:11 |
| unimatrix_overlo | yes, sorry. good catch | 08:12 |
| Sidvee | I was regarding a cron script, and someone had written, to create a temp file and something. For temp file it used "$tempfile" why $ was added? Any significance? Or just like that? | 08:13 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: actually it should be, "sudo mount -o ro,loop -t autofs /home/username/backup.img /mnt/somedir" | 08:13 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: you should now be able to use your fav file browser and see the it as a drive | 08:13 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, something went wrong: | 08:13 |
| DjAngo23 | sudo mount -o ro,loop /mnt/flash /home/django/flash.img | 08:13 |
| DjAngo23 | ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Invalid argument | 08:13 |

| DjAngo23 | Oh, i onlly see your msg now | 08:14 |
| DjAngo23 | Trying again | 08:14 |
| unimatrix_overlo | yeah, llutz pointed out my error | 08:14 |
| llutz | Sidvee: $tmpfile has to be "filled" with a valid name before in your script, like tmpfile=$(tempfile) | 08:14 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: sudo mount -o ro,loop -t autofs /home/username/backup.img /mnt/somedir | 08:15 |
| obelus | Unfamiliar with -t autofs. Is that just auto detect filesystem? | 08:15 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, obelus , mount: unknown filesystem type 'autofs' | 08:15 |
| obelus | I think you should remove the -t autofs myself, mount defaults to autodetecting the filesystem | 08:16 |
| llutz | DjAngo23: -t auto not autofs | 08:16 |

| === WoOh_ is now known as WoOh | ||
| unimatrix_overlo | try, "-t ext4" since you pointed that out back a few | 08:16 |
| obelus | llutz: doesn't mount automatically assume auto if no -t is specified? | 08:16 |
| llutz | Sidvee: thats to address variables. like: tmpfile=$(tempfile) fills "tmpfile" with the output of "tempfile" (the program). to use that variable later, you use $tmpfile | 08:17 |
| llutz | obelus: correct | 08:17 |
| obelus | llutz: Thought so. Thanks for the confirmation | 08:17 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, I tried with -t ext4 and got | 08:17 |

| llutz | Guest36296: do you have any ubuntu support-related question? | 08:18 |
| obelus | DjAngo23: You might want to try with -t auto or completely omitting the -t option | 08:19 |
| Guest36296 | no .tq | 08:19 |
| Guest36296 | Ç) | 08:19 |
| llutz | Guest36296: then please stop | 08:19 |
| Guest36296 | saya tidak pandai gun a ubuntu ini . | 08:20 |
| Sidvee | llutz: umm. You mean tempfile is program and tmpfile stores the output of tempfile? like "python tempfile,py > tmpfile"??? | 08:20 |
| DjAngo23 | with auto and without -t it says : mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 08:20 |
| llutz | Sidvee: like that | 08:20 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: let's try an extra step, it should iron the prob out | 08:21 |
| DjAngo23 | message from dmesg: [ 3112.347412] EXT4-fs (loop0): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem | 08:21 |
| Sidvee | llutz: So the output can be stored like that. How does $ comes to picture here? | 08:21 |
| llutz | Sidvee: thats how you tell the shell you want to use a variable, not a command | 08:22 |
| llutz | Sidvee: http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/Bash-Beginners-Guide.html#sect_03_02 | 08:22 |
| DjAngo23 | Maybee this is important information: The disk was furst in use for hybernation drive. I formated it, and changed it to ext4. Could it be possible that the bios reset it to Hybernation dist ? is see in fdis -l that the id is 84 | 08:23 |
| Sidvee | llutz: is there any difference in writing "ls -l > temp" and "ls -l > $temp" | 08:23 |
| llutz | Sidvee: redirection > won't work in bash | 08:23 |
| llutz | not to fill a VAR with output* | 08:23 |
| oCean | llutz: of course it will | 08:24 |
| llutz | Sidvee: var=$(ls -l) | 08:24 |
| Sidvee | llutz: isn't my terminal a bash as well? | 08:24 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: run, "sudo losetup /dev/loop0 /home/username/backup.img | 08:24 |
| llutz | occe[10:23:56] <llutz> not to fill a VAR with output* | 08:24 |
| llutz | oCean: [10:23:56] <llutz> not to fill a VAR with output* | 08:24 |
| oCean | llutz: and I answered "of course it will" | 08:24 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: next, ... | 08:24 |
| llutz | oCean: like "ls -l > temp"? i doubt | 08:25 |
| oCean | Sidvee: redirection will work perfectly, The difference in temp and $temp is, that $temp should have a value defined (since it is a variable) and that "temp" is interpreted as an actual (file)name | 08:25 |
| Sidvee | llutz: Damn I know nothing. :-( | 08:25 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: sudo mount -o ro -t ext4 /dev/loop0 /mnt/flash/ | 08:26 |
| obelus | llutz: Are you sure? I use > a lot in bash. | 08:26 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: sudo mount -o ro -t ext4 /dev/loop0 /mnt/somedir | 08:26 |
| obelus | Er, sorry, I was scrolled up and didnt see your other message | 08:26 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, same error as before: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, ... | 08:26 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: well, this is a "safer" way then playing with fdisk partition types | 08:26 |
| barberan | how do I remove Gnome and install KDE? | 08:26 |
| Sidvee | llutz: So, $temp is a variable name, It can hold a file name as variable too? Or am wrong? | 08:27 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: this just means that the file system type is not (or perhaps not) ext4 | 08:27 |
| llutz | let me rephrase it: you cannot use "ls -l >temp" in that way $temp (the variable, not the filename) holds the output of "ls". you need to use "temp=$(ls -l)" to define a VAR | 08:27 |
| obelus | Sidvee: You can hold any string or number in a variable. | 08:27 |
| oCean | Sidvee: this is somewhat out of scope of this channel, since there is also ##bash channel. But in short: you start with a definition: mytempfile=/tmp/blah.tmp, then you can use it as ls -al > $mytempfile | 08:27 |
| DjAngo23 | When i look at the id its 84: according to http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html it means: Hibernation partition | 08:28 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: it's a long shot but try, "sudo file /home/username/backup.img" | 08:28 |
| oCean | llutz: oh, correct. ls -al > temp will create a file called "temp" containing all ls -al output | 08:28 |
| Sidvee | oCean: Am sorry to bug you people. Didn't realize that. Sorry! | 08:29 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: well, I was under the impression that /dev/sdb1 was the SSD do to fdisk -l reporting 20GB | 08:29 |
| eutheria | i would just like to say kudos for the improved monitor support, i just pulled my hdmi cable into the side of my laptop | 08:29 |
| eutheria | it just worked | 08:29 |
| llutz | oCean: thats correct, i talked about VAR-definition with redirection (>) which won't work | 08:29 |
| oCean | llutz: no we're on the same page :) | 08:29 |
| eutheria | and got the resolution right | 08:29 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: the file system type under fdisk is a good bet it's wrong | 08:29 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, /home/django/flash.img: data | 08:29 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: which is prob the problem | 08:29 |
| llutz | i have to improve my english :( | 08:29 |
| barberan | How do I change Terminal startup position? I hate it when it sticks to upper-left corner. I want it to be in the center right away after start. | 08:30 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: what was the name of the backup image file? the "of=" part of the "dd" command | 08:30 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, could it be the BIOS resetting this from time to time ? | 08:30 |
| Sidvee | llutz: Thanks for handling those lame questions. And sorry to have asked something not right for this forum. | 08:30 |
| DjAngo23 | sudo dd bs=512 if=/dev/sdb1 of=/home/django/flash.img | 08:30 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: ok. have you run the, "sudo losetup /dev/loop0 /home/django/flash.img" command? | 08:31 |
| DjAngo23 | I did | 08:31 |
| llutz | DjAngo23: bs=512 is default for dd, no need to define it. better to use bigger blocksizes, it will make dd a bit faster in most cases, like bs=4k | 08:32 |
| DjAngo23 | If run again: losetup: /dev/loop0: device is busy | 08:32 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: ok. only need to run once. | 08:32 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: now we have to do a trial/by/error test to see what partition type will mount the flash.img | 08:32 |
| sandepp | i have quite messed up my python while trying to install django....can you suggest me any tutorial to install django i have newly started ubuntu | 08:33 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, Perfect. But i think it' s something with Hybernation filesystem | 08:33 |
| iceroot | what is the name of the keyring-map to manage passwords? | 08:33 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: you can look at, "man mount" under the -t, --type section for partition types | 08:33 |
| ikonia | -t is filesystem type - not partition type | 08:34 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: Windows could have thought the drive was hybernation-device and modified it (guessing due to your ntfs fdisk -l) | 08:34 |
| DjAngo23 | ikonia, Thanks, i didn't know there was a difference. | 08:34 |
| obelus | unimatrix_overlo: I don't think Windows uses 'hibernation devices'. They use hiberfil.sys on the root of the system drive. | 08:35 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, Even if it's strange that it actually did zo, because i did not boot windows before the problem occurs. | 08:35 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: but if this drive had (good point ikonia) a previous partition that got overwritten by M$ this would be a possible steps to recover such partition | 08:35 |
| obelus | unimatrix_overlo: Windows tends to have a policy of not touching filesystems that aren't fat16, fat32, exfat, ntfs, I believe. So Windows would not have overwitten it unless told to. | 08:36 |
| DjAngo23 | obelus, I called Acer a week ago to ask what the ssd was for. They said the use it as Hybernation disk. | 08:36 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: M$ can use a flash/SSD as "speed-boost" (not sure the nature) so yes (obelus) it should be in the filesystem as hiberfil.sys | 08:37 |
| obelus | If Acer was correct (which I slightly doubt), then it would just be hiberfil.sys in the root of that drive, and would not have modified it if the filesystem was changed. If it was in use as readyboost, I dont know what it would store the cache as, but it still wouldnt have done anything to the device if the filesystem was changed. | 08:38 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23+obelus: regardless hibernation/swap the partition flash.img should contain the file system | 08:39 |
| obelus | When it loses a ReadyBoost (the speed-up used on flash devices) drive, it just doesn't use it. | 08:39 |
| Clinton | Hi everyone I am looking for help with Ubuntu 10.04 network manager | 08:39 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23+obelus: we just have to figure out the type to mount the image | 08:39 |
| obelus | unimatrix_overlo: Yes, it should have the filesystem, I was only saying that Windows would not have changed anything on the device by itself if it was already changed to another filesystem. | 08:39 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: the dangerous fix it to do a fdisk. then change to partition type to what you think is the correct one | 08:40 |
| unimatrix_overlo | (is...) | 08:40 |

| pungi-man | ikonia, llutz ! okay thanks for the help.....i will try it | 08:51 |
| eutheria | pungi-man, what they mean to say is, amd64 refers to the instructions set inside the CPU, yes it seems confusing however it was amd who designed the version of the 64bit instructions we use today | 08:51 |
| eutheria | pungi-man, both intel and amd cpu's have the same 64bit instruction set | 08:52 |

| clinton_shane_wr | ? | 08:53 |

| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, I think there is no other solution | 08:54 |
| clinton_shane_wr | yes I do | 08:54 |
| ikonia | clinton_shane_wr: then just ask, if someone knows they will answer | 08:54 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, I understand, but just after de BIOS, ACER would have installed something that is restoring the partition type to 84 (hybernation) | 08:54 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: fdisk. then change type to LINUX. mkfs.ext4 -L LABEL /dev/sdb1 | 08:54 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: yeah, sometimes they have "recovery" methods | 08:55 |
| DjAngo23 | I changed to LINUX in fdisk with gpart | 08:55 |
| unimatrix_overlo | DjAngo23: they end up "restoring" the drive to factory settings. | 08:55 |
| DjAngo23 | but it wants to rewrite strang partitiion tables of 0mb | 08:55 |
| DjAngo23 | unimatrix_overlo, I think that happend. | 08:56 |

| ubottu | clinton_shane_wr: 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 | 09:00 |
| ikonia | clinton_shane_wr: have a read of that URL, it walks you through how to set it up | 09:00 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: did you try setup with a static connection on the client side, as I assume you failed to setup dhcpd | 09:00 |
| ikonia | clinton_shane_wr: see if there is a step you've missed | 09:00 |
| goddard | my keyring is screwed | 09:00 |
| goddard | how can i fix it? | 09:00 |
| clinton_shane_wr | ok, I guess I would need dhcpd or is that installed standard with Ubuntu 10.04? | 09:01 |
| ikonia | clinton_shane_wr: check the link ubottu sent you | 09:01 |
| ikonia | clinton_shane_wr: it walks you through it | 09:01 |
| clinton_shane_wr | ok | 09:01 |
| clinton_shane_wr | thank you | 09:01 |
| diverdude | Ok...i have a problem. I am on a network with only port 80 open. I have a 86 MB file i need to transport away from this computer, preferrebly to my server which runs apache but also runs ssh. The computer cannot mount usb drives or any new filesystem. How can i get my 86MB file outta here? | 09:01 |
| suborbital | suos. | 09:01 |
| ikonia | diverdude: contact the people who run the network | 09:01 |
| diverdude | ikonia: what will that help? | 09:02 |
| argief | diverdude: gmail? | 09:02 |
| ikonia | diverdude: they can make an execption for you to transfer the file | 09:02 |
| ikonia | diverdude: (assuming it's allowed) | 09:02 |
| clinton_shane_wr | ikonia I have already been through this page but my router does not have a WAN port which I need to setup my connection through my router | 09:02 |
| clinton_shane_wr | I cannot understand | 09:02 |
| diverdude | argief: gmail can send such big files? | 09:02 |
| ikonia | clinton_shane_wr: your router does have a wan port - it's the thing that connects your router to the internet | 09:02 |
| clinton_shane_wr | why I cannot use shared to other computers option when I use this in other distros of Ubuntu without problems | 09:02 |
| argief | diverdude: i assume so? i have not had problems, give it a go? | 09:03 |

| diverdude | argief: only supprts up to 25 mb :( | 09:03 |
| ikonia | clinton_shane_wr: the wan port is the port that connects your router to the internet | 09:03 |
| suborbital | !busta ryhmes | 09:03 |
| clinton_shane_wr | I believe you can just use the router as a switch | 09:03 |
| ikonia | suborbital: please stop | 09:03 |
| chu | suborbital: Can we help? | 09:03 |
| suborbital | hmmm | 09:04 |
| ikonia | suborbital: the topic of this channel is ubuntu technical support | 09:04 |
| ikonia | suborbital: please try to keep to that topic | 09:04 |
| suborbital | you ant to rhyme with me? | 09:04 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: your server has no internet conectivity? you have to start from that before thinking of sharing | 09:04 |
| argief | diverdude: gdrive? dropbox? | 09:04 |
| clinton_shane_wr | I am using a 3g modem | 09:04 |
| clinton_shane_wr | to connect to internet | 09:04 |
| clinton_shane_wr | and I am trying to share it over the network | 09:04 |

| clinton_shane_wr | ok | 09:04 |

| chu | suborbital: This channel is *strictly* support. If you want to chat with people, join #ubuntu-offtopic. | 09:04 |
| ikonia | suborbital: the topic of this channel is ubuntu technical support | 09:04 |
| ikonia | clinton_shane_wr: ok, so it's the interface your 3g modem has created, | 09:04 |
| clinton_shane_wr | I am trying to use wvdial | 09:05 |
| clinton_shane_wr | to connect to the internet and to create the ppp0 interface | 09:05 |
| ikonia | clinton_shane_wr: step back for a moment | 09:05 |
| diverdude | argief: ahh yes dropbox...good idea | 09:05 |
| clinton_shane_wr | ok | 09:05 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: your already connected to the internet aren't you on the 3G or not? | 09:05 |
| ikonia | clinton_shane_wr: 1.) is your machine with the 3g dongle connected to the internet ? | 09:05 |
| clinton_shane_wr | yes | 09:05 |
| clinton_shane_wr | right now | 09:05 |
| llutz | diverdude: do you have ssh access to your server? then stop webserver there, let ssh listen on port 80, scp the file to the server, revert settings. | 09:05 |
| clinton_shane_wr | but | 09:05 |
| clinton_shane_wr | connecting 3g connection through the network manager does not create a ppp0 interface | 09:06 |
| ikonia | clinton_shane_wr: right, then you do'nt need to use wvdial or anything - you are already connected | 09:06 |
| argief | clinton_shane_wr: iptables forwarding? | 09:06 |
| clinton_shane_wr | I have not set the iptables yet | 09:06 |
| clinton_shane_wr | if I dont have a ppp0 interface | 09:06 |
| clinton_shane_wr | how can I forward it? | 09:06 |
| ikonia | clinton_shane_wr: your interface will be eth1 or wlan1 or something like that | 09:06 |
| ikonia | clinton_shane_wr: the 3g card will just be visible as a normal network card | 09:07 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: if you already have a connection to 3G with conectivity then you don't need wvdial | 09:07 |
| clinton_shane_wr | if I goto ifconfig ppp0 when I am connected 3g through network manager | 09:07 |
| clinton_shane_wr | ok | 09:07 |
| jolaren | I can't get irssi to run on autostart! I am having problems with the -U command I think.. user is "cc" screen -U cc -S auto -d -m irssi | 09:07 |
| jolaren | added it to rc.local | 09:07 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: all you need do is share that connection over probly eth0 | 09:07 |
| clinton_shane_wr | yes but if I use shared to other computers option on eth0 in network settings then it refuses to connect the wired connection | 09:08 |
| clinton_shane_wr | so I guess then it has to be done through terminall manually | 09:08 |
| clinton_shane_wr | because obviously this option shared to other computers makes it quick and easy | 09:09 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: that part you can work around by setting your client to a static connection to your eth0 network or you can setup dhcpd to do it | 09:09 |
| ikonia | clinton_shane_wr: do you know the interface name of your 3g connection ? | 09:09 |
| clinton_shane_wr | just a moment | 09:09 |
| clinton_shane_wr | well thats the thing ikonia | 09:09 |
| clinton_shane_wr | I can ifconfig and it says ppp0 but if I try to ifconfig ppp0 then it says the interface does not exist | 09:10 |
| clinton_shane_wr | ok wait sorry | 09:11 |
| clinton_shane_wr | it is able to talk to ppp0 with ifconfig | 09:11 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: network manager should have been able to setup ppp0 to connect to your provider and as it sounds you can already surf on the server side | 09:11 |
| clinton_shane_wr | so the interface is ppp0 | 09:11 |
| ikonia | clinton_shane_wr do "sudo ifconfig -a" please pastebin it | 09:11 |
| clinton_shane_wr | ok no problem | 09:11 |

| ikonia | jennie: canon are the people who will tell you if it works | 09:23 |
| jennie | please check that link above | 09:23 |
| ikonia | jennie: I did, and canon are the ones who will tell you if it works | 09:23 |
| jennie | so i have to install ubuntu and then check ? | 09:24 |
| ikonia | jennie: or contact canon and ask them | 09:24 |
| jennie | if it aint supported then why they provided driver ? | 09:24 |

| ikonia | jennie: for linux | 09:28 |
| abouossama | yes i know but the problem i change it and i add alt+shift to change layout but it does nt wotk | 09:28 |
| Dr_Willis | ppd files for cups? | 09:28 |
| jennie | then why it wont work in ubuntu ? | 09:28 |
| ikonia | jennie: because there are many different types/versions of ubuntu | 09:28 |
| Dr_Willis | canon has a history of poor drivers in linux also. | 09:28 |
| ikonia | jennie: ask canon what linux requirements/versions it has/supported | 09:28 |
| abouossama | yes i know but the problem i change it and i add alt+shift to change layout but it does nt wotk pungi-man | 09:29 |

| satyanash | Hi, I am trying to install a userscript on Ubuntu Firefox I cant seem to find the INstall User Script option? | 10:40 |
| clinton_shane_wr | http://pastebin.com/C5k65rRX | 10:40 |
| wawowe | clinton_shane_wr: link me to the instructions you followed | 10:40 |
| clinton_shane_wr | ok | 10:40 |
| clinton_shane_wr | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 10:41 |
| clinton_shane_wr | I used the following section: GUI Method via Network Manager (Ubuntu 9.10 and up) | 10:41 |
| clinton_shane_wr | with the example given at the bottom of the page | 10:41 |
| Blackshirt | Clinton_shane you should enable ip forwarding in the kernel, the enable masquerade through iptables | 10:41 |
| wawowe | clinton_shane_wr: echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward | 10:42 |
| clinton_shane_wr | blackshirt does the internet connection sharing not explain how to do this? | 10:42 |
| clinton_shane_wr | ok what does this command do wawowe | 10:42 |
| clinton_shane_wr | is this the enabling | 10:42 |
| clinton_shane_wr | of the ip forwarding | 10:42 |
| wawowe | yes | 10:42 |
| clinton_shane_wr | that blackshirt is refering to | 10:43 |
| clinton_shane_wr | well I did run this command | 10:43 |
| clinton_shane_wr | wawowe did you get my pastebin link | 10:43 |
| wawowe | clinton_shane_wr: yeah | 10:44 |
| wawowe | clinton_shane_wr: flush your tables and run the script again | 10:44 |
| clinton_shane_wr | i have something I want to check with you | 10:44 |
| clinton_shane_wr | in the bash script | 10:44 |
| clinton_shane_wr | iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport 3074 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.42.0.2 | 10:44 |
| clinton_shane_wr | my problem is10.42.0.2 | 10:45 |
| clinton_shane_wr | is this trying to assign an ip address to a 3g modem | 10:45 |
| clinton_shane_wr | because it wont work | 10:45 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: ya I noticed that as you had 10.42.42.42 before | 10:45 |
| clinton_shane_wr | what I am having trouble understanding here with this script in the above code is the destination 10.42.0.2 is this assigned to ppp0? | 10:46 |
| clinton_shane_wr | because ppp0, my 3g modem, assigns its own generated ip address every time you connect | 10:47 |
| clinton_shane_wr | what I am asking is, for a 3g modem is this correct? | 10:47 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: doesn't it alway p2p to 10.42.42.42? | 10:47 |
| m_fulder | hello! | 10:47 |
| clinton_shane_wr | sacarlson what do you mean | 10:47 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: you iptables -a ; last I saw showed your ppp0 at 10.42.42.42 not sure if it changes or not | 10:48 |
| nodable | hello everyone | 10:48 |
| nodable | i have three old desktops each with about 40GB of space, they are all able to boot from CD, they have ethernet port etc | 10:48 |
| nodable | i was thinking of wiping them and loading Ubuntu Server Ed. 8.04 | 10:48 |
| nodable | opinions? | 10:49 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: I also don't understand the --dport 3074 in your script as what is that port used for? | 10:49 |
| clinton_shane_wr | i got this from ubutu document webpage | 10:49 |
| m_fulder | I would need a bit of help with ubuntus access control+VSFTPD .. I would like ftp users to have read acess to all files in a folder but be able to change only a few.. so I thought of chmoding all files to 700 and then the ones that the user should have acess to I sat to 707...now the problem is, the FTP user can still rename and delete all files in that dir .. why is that? :O | 10:49 |
| fidel | nodable: why would you use such an old ubuntu version? | 10:49 |
| clinton_shane_wr | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 10:49 |
| clinton_shane_wr | the script said just change wlan0 to ppp0 for a 3g modem | 10:50 |
| clinton_shane_wr | so I did just that | 10:50 |
| nodable | well i thought because they are kind of old computers and i don't know how much space a newer version would take up | 10:50 |
| nodable | also …i have that one burned to disc already | 10:50 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: 4 is read-only | 10:50 |
| fidel | nodable: space is not a problem with your 40gn hdd | 10:50 |
| clinton_shane_wr | sacarlson could you kindly review the link for me https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 10:51 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: chmod 444 and chmod 744 | 10:51 |
| clinton_shane_wr | I have already run through this tutorial | 10:51 |
| nodable | ohh perfect..so do you think it is worth my time to do this, or better to take another route? | 10:51 |
| clinton_shane_wr | wawowe | 10:51 |
| fidel | nodable: what might be an issue with latest versions is that the default desktop-einvorments might need more 3d power then your gfx-cards can provide - but at the ends its at least party the question what desktop-enviroment you are looking for | 10:51 |
| clinton_shane_wr | did you say I should just flush | 10:52 |
| clinton_shane_wr | my tables | 10:52 |
| clinton_shane_wr | I can pastebin my iptables.sav file if need be | 10:52 |
| wawowe | clinton_shane_wr: yes, flush and reload them | 10:52 |
| m_fulder | wawpe but doesn't 700 mean that only the owner has full access and the group+others doesn't have acess at all? | 10:52 |
| m_fulder | wawoe* | 10:52 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: yes | 10:52 |
| m_fulder | wawowe then how come the ftp user still can delete a file when its in 700 mode? | 10:53 |
| clinton_shane_wr | http://pastebin.com/WFKUeEmw | 10:53 |
| m_fulder | he is not the owner of that file * | 10:53 |
| nodable | Gnome i suppose? | 10:53 |
| nodable | I don't really know? | 10:53 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: seems your masqarade script should look more like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1017735/ | 10:53 |
| shaneo | :( I could only afford the give indie bundle .80 cents | 10:53 |
| nodable | i dont *gnow | 10:54 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: is it in their home directory? and are you sure they don't own it | 10:54 |
| shaneo | cool concept though pay what you want wish all companies were like that | 10:54 |
| m_fulder | wawowe, yeah I have sat it as their home dir, but can it be more then one owner to same dir? | 10:54 |
| nodable | or XFCE maybe | 10:55 |
| nodable | would that be a better choice? | 10:55 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: make a new group and add everyone you want to have access to that group | 10:55 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: then chown -R root:yournewgroup folder | 10:56 |
| fidel | nodable: xfce might be a good idea | 10:56 |
| L00NG | anyone bought Humble Bundle V ? Bastion can run on ubuntu 12.04, but has no sound, how can I fix it? | 10:56 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: and chmod -R 770 folder | 10:56 |
| m_fulder | wawowe, ah yeah smart will try it on thanks! :) | 10:56 |
| nodable | ok thanks for your help fidel! | 10:56 |
| fidel | nodable: how about testing a current live cd on those old boxes? | 10:56 |
| fidel | might give you a first impression how well 12.04 might work on them ...or not ;) | 10:57 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: I also noted last I seen your ifconfig -a that you didn't have eth1 setup with a static ipv4 address, did you fix that? | 10:57 |
| clinton_shane_wr | yes I set manual static ip through network manager | 10:57 |
| tMH | ppl, I am trying to compile screen on ubuntu and getting this "configure: error: !!! no tgetent - no screen". Kernel is 2.6.32-41-generic-pae #89-Ubuntu | 10:58 |
| tMH | how to fix that, tell me please ? | 10:58 |
| clinton_shane_wr | ip: 10.42.0.1 subnet: 255.255.255.0 gateway: I left blank | 10:58 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: ok then all you need do with the script I gave above is put your client into static also with manual gateway to your eth1 address and add a dns address to it | 10:58 |
| wawowe | tMH: pastebin the error | 10:58 |
| clinton_shane_wr | what if there is no dns server currently setup? | 10:59 |
| clinton_shane_wr | I uninstalled dnsmasq | 10:59 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: oh ok so that's your eth1 is 10.42.0.1 and your ppp0 is 10.42.42.42 ? | 10:59 |
| nodable | i'll give that a try fidel haha :) | 10:59 |
| tMH | wawowe - http://pastebin.com/381XYhn8 | 10:59 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: without a dns then you won't be able to ping google.com but you can ping 8.8.8.8 | 11:00 |
| Varikonniemi | hello, what package should i file a bug report against when the music player is acting up? | 11:00 |
| Varikonniemi | and how? | 11:00 |
| m_fulder | hm but wawowe, the chown -R root:mynewgroup myFolder command, won't it make the group a owner and then the owner flags will count instead of the group flags? | 11:00 |
| nodable | i have they all sucking up the electricity in the house…the power company is going to think this is some sort of pot grow-op | 11:00 |
| clinton_shane_wr | ppp0 in the script is set to 10.42.0.2, where did you see 10.42.42.42 and ppp0 is a 3g modem and it assigns its own ip address everytime you make a connection | 11:00 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: if you add to your client the dns address of 8.8.8.8 then it might work that's done by editing /etc/resolv.conf | 11:01 |
| nodable | ill have DEA busting down my door while an arial drone takes out my computers | 11:01 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: make mynewgroup the default group for ftp users | 11:01 |
| clinton_shane_wr | 8.8.8.8 on the hosting computer | 11:01 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: or can be changed in network manager | 11:01 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: no on the client | 11:01 |
| clinton_shane_wr | oh | 11:01 |
| clinton_shane_wr | ok | 11:01 |
| clinton_shane_wr | cool | 11:01 |
| clinton_shane_wr | did you read above | 11:01 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: then every file they upload will be in the same group no matter who uploaded it | 11:01 |
| curiousx | aloha all :D | 11:02 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: I just came back so I may not have read all the above | 11:02 |
| curiousx | *wind sounds* | 11:02 |
| nodable | aloha sir | 11:02 |
| akem | .0 | 11:02 |
| clinton_shane_wr | ppp0 in the script is set to 10.42.0.2, where did you see 10.42.42.42 and ppp0 is a 3g modem and it assigns its own ip address everytime you make a connection | 11:02 |
| curiousx | aloha nodable :D | 11:02 |

| === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris | ||
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: I saw the 10.42.42.42 in your pastebin of ifconfig -a before | 11:03 |

| === matt_symes is now known as Guest49442 | ||
| wawowe | tMH: apt-get install build-essential | 11:03 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: I'm not sure that stays constant as I asked before | 11:03 |
| clinton_shane_wr | I bet | 11:03 |
| clinton_shane_wr | then I just have to connect my gateway on client to that address | 11:04 |
| slikts | shame on ubuntu for having outdated chromium in both universe repo and ppas | 11:04 |
| clinton_shane_wr | I was thinking it would be what I asked to be, 10.42.0.2 | 11:04 |
| clinton_shane_wr | well I had a look agai | 11:04 |
| clinton_shane_wr | again | 11:04 |
| clinton_shane_wr | and its 10.64.64.64 | 11:04 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: no your script just points it, not change it | 11:04 |
| clinton_shane_wr | now | 11:04 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: also vsftp can auto chown uploaded files | 11:05 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: ok so that's constant so your script before must be wrong with 10.42.0.2 I guess, the script I gave you should posibly still work | 11:05 |
| clinton_shane_wr | sacarlson I thank you for your time in helping me with this issue | 11:06 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: maybe just pastebin your ifconfig -a; again as it should be different than when I saw it | 11:06 |
| clinton_shane_wr | just a moment | 11:06 |
| clinton_shane_wr | I will do that | 11:06 |
| m_fulder | wawowe, yeah will come to that later, my first problem was that a user could delete a file which I didn't want him to delete, but will adding the user to the group really help if he still got the directory as his home dir? | 11:06 |
| Varikonniemi | how do i change how magnet files are opened in ubuntu? The give you no torrent file that i could right click on to set what program open it. I have qbittorrent installed and set to open torrents, but transmission insists on opening the magnets. Any clue? Should i uninstall transmission or what? | 11:07 |
| Squarism | How should one interpret columns VIRT, RES and SHR in top? Apart from VIRTual memory (is that swap only?), REServed physical and SHR (shared - which i really dont know the definition of) | 11:07 |
| Squarism | ? | 11:07 |
| tMH | wawowe - lemme try:) 10x! | 11:07 |
| m_fulder | wawowe, I've now tried to have a user with a group and he still can delete files chmoded 700 while having the same dir as his home dir :P | 11:08 |
| Chuck_Norris | Varikonniemi: if you are using Firefox, so, tells firefox that .torrent will open with bittorrent | 11:08 |
| Varikonniemi | i use chrome | 11:08 |
| Varikonniemi | and i have no problem with torrent files as i tried to say, the problem is with magnet links that give you no file | 11:09 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: create a folder owned by root and put the files you don't want deleted in it | 11:09 |
| Chuck_Norris | Varikonniemi: sry, tells firefox that magnet will be open with... | 11:09 |
| clinton_shane_wr | sacarlson | 11:09 |
| clinton_shane_wr | thank you very much | 11:09 |
| Varikonniemi | Chuck_Norris, sorry i dont understand | 11:09 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: also owned by root | 11:09 |
| m_fulder | wawowe but I need the same files for the root and for the FTP users to be in the same dir (it is a game server files) | 11:10 |
| m_fulder | the same directory * | 11:10 |
| clinton_shane_wr | my internet connection sharing is now successfully working | 11:10 |

| clinton_shane_wr | wawoe | 11:10 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: wow cool what did you do? | 11:10 |
| clinton_shane_wr | if sacarlson | 11:10 |
| clinton_shane_wr | ok nevermind wawoe | 11:10 |
| Varikonniemi | ok.. so where would this be in chrome? | 11:10 |
| clinton_shane_wr | good quesion really. I restarted my pc | 11:11 |
| m_fulder | wawowe, i.e. I need a folder with different access for root, owner and for a group | 11:11 |
| clinton_shane_wr | after that I just resetup the static ips and it worked | 11:11 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: don't use someones home directory as server root | 11:11 |
| clinton_shane_wr | I w ill try to restart again and check if its still working | 11:11 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: cool, if it stops working you might need to stop dhclient on your server side | 11:11 |
| Chuck_Norris | lol, i have an epic fail in mah firefox i have configure .asf file for opening whit WMP xD http://i.imgur.com/gZe3p.jpg | 11:11 |
| clinton_shane_wr | oh P.S I used the 8.8.8.8 DNS on the client | 11:12 |
| clinton_shane_wr | I will look at setting up DNS server and proxy next | 11:12 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: put something like local_root=/home/ftp in your vsftpd.conf | 11:12 |
| sacarlson | clinton_shane_wr: oh ok ya that was probly all you needed | 11:12 |
| zhangjian | http://i.imgur.com/gZe3p.jpg | 11:12 |
| clinton_shane_wr | ok will keep that in mind | 11:12 |

| cpppp | i am trying to look for it i dont know the exacte name | 11:17 |
| Chuck_Norris | cpppp: gnome-terminal | 11:17 |
| cpppp | ok thanks | 11:17 |
| Chuck_Norris | np | 11:17 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: don't chroot to home directory | 11:17 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: move the stuff in their home to /home/ftp/user | 11:18 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: or just /home/ftp/ | 11:18 |
| jenamith | how can i make a copy of my costomized system to format and re install | 11:19 |
| m_fulder | wawowe, but then my server structure will be broken, I need it to be the same folder for both FTP and normal users | 11:19 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: then put the stuff in /home/ftp/ | 11:19 |
| nanni | salut | 11:19 |
| m_fulder | wawowe, how will it be different then putting them in /home/randomUser ? | 11:20 |
| VictorCL | a pop alert from ubuntu got stuck | 11:20 |
| VictorCL | cant close it | 11:20 |
| Darael | cpppp: For future reference, though, "Ubuntu 11" could be one of Karmic (the eleventh release), Natty (11.04), or Oneiric (11.10). The numbers are release dates rather than versions in the traditional sense. | 11:20 |
| VictorCL | how can I kill it? | 11:20 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: randomUser won't be able to delete things they don't own | 11:20 |
| Chuck_Norris | VictorCL: "Ctrl + Alt + F2" then: sudo service lightdm restart | 11:21 |
| jenamith | how can i make a copy of my costomized system to format and re install | 11:22 |
| Darael | Chuck_Norris: lightdm is an upstart job. The sysvinit emulation will work, but that should really be "sudo restart lightdm". | 11:22 |

| ubottu | jenamith: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate | 11:22 |

| m_fulder | wawowe oh hold on, I think I understood the ftp-home dir wrong, I've always done "useradd myUser -d hisHomeDir" and thought it wouldn't make the user itself to own that dir but only set the vsftpd dir, can I somehow have a user with a /home/ftp as his home dir but still "cd him" to /home/another user while connected via FTP? | 11:23 |
| Darael | jenamith: If it's only your user settings, just copy your home folder. All your user settings are in there. Otherwise, you could copy package config files out of /etc/, and note the packages you manually installed. | 11:24 |

| wawowe | m_fulder: usermod -d /home/ftp myuser | 11:25 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: they won't own the directory assuming it was created by root or someone else | 11:26 |
| m_fulder | wawowe, hm they won't? it seems like they do caouse they can delete 700 files | 11:27 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: normally you would want a user to own their home and would use useradd -m to create their home and give them rights over it | 11:27 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: if they don't own the directory, they can't delete stuff in it | 11:27 |
| jenamith | MonkeyDust: i did'nt get clonezilla in my softe ware centre | 11:29 |
| jenamith | ? | 11:29 |
| m_fulder | wawowe, yeah but still how can I point him in FTP to another folder that he doesn't own? | 11:29 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: by setting local_root="anotherfolderthathedoesn'town" | 11:30 |
| m_fulder | wawowe, won't that affect all FTP users? what do I do if I want different dirs for different users | 11:31 |

| MonkeyDust | jenamith start here http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/remastersys | 11:33 |
| sveinse | If I have a .deb file; how can I install it? I mean, the deb has dependencies, so I need something inbetween dpkg and apt-get here. I'd rather not use the Software Center, as it does not reveal which packages are being installed as a dependency. | 11:34 |
| jrib | sveinse: gdebi, but why are you using a .deb not from the repositories? | 11:35 |
| sveinse | jrib: Custom build - development | 11:35 |
| Pici | dogears: one doesn't have anything to do with the other, so its up to you. | 11:35 |

| Chuck_Norris | sveinse: what is the software you are trying to install? | 11:36 |
| wawowe | sveinse: dpkg -i | 11:36 |
| wawowe | sveinse: apt-get -f install | 11:37 |
| === Internet_ is now known as tom | ||
| jenamith | MonkeyDust: i dont have that package of remaster sys in my system. i tried it. according to some sites it is not working can you discribe me to install it step by step | 11:38 |
| sveinse | Chuck_Norris: Something we're building in our company. Entirely custom. And we haven't gotten around to setup a repo yet | 11:38 |
| burnt | can someone please help me, I installed some GTK themes which then caused problems with my system, I used gnome classic on 12.04, I am new to linux (as you will probably be able to tell) I tried to remove the new theme and was ill advised by another new linux user to remove all of the GTK engine thing and reinstall | 11:38 |
| m_fulder | wawowe what's the syntacs for the vsftpd.chroot_list file can't find it anywhere | 11:39 |
| burnt | I tried that, now all my themes are totaly out, everything has no theme applied, in gnome tweek tool If I change a theme nothing happens | 11:39 |
| burnt | im an idiot | 11:39 |
| m_fulder | syntax* | 11:39 |
| burnt | other than a reformat | 11:39 |
| burnt | can I repair GTK? | 11:39 |
| jrib | burnt: say exactly what you did with commands or give exact package names if you didn't use the command line | 11:39 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: user1 (newline) user2 (newline) user3 | 11:40 |
| Chuck_Norris | sveinse: so, you are developing a software? and, you don't know the dependences? | 11:40 |
| m_fulder | wawowe but don't I put their startup dirs there aswell? | 11:40 |
| MonkeyDust | jenamith the link I posted explains it | 11:40 |
| Chuck_Norris | sry if i can't understand =P | 11:40 |
| Chuck_Norris | sometimes i can't understand -.- | 11:41 |
| jenamith | ok iam going through it now | 11:41 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: no, it will chroot them to their home | 11:41 |
| burnt | jrib I used apt-get purge gtk* | 11:41 |
| burnt | call me stupid, I know! | 11:41 |
| jenamith | MonkeyDust: thank you | 11:41 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: and they won't be able to leave home | 11:42 |
| jrib | burnt: you installed regular ubuntu (not kubuntu for example)? | 11:42 |
| m_fulder | wawowe oh so I can't set their home dir to something else without them actually owning that dir? | 11:42 |
| burnt | yes I upgraded from 11 to 12 orignaly | 11:42 |
| burnt | then messed things up | 11:42 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: you can | 11:42 |
| burnt | should I just do a fresh install? | 11:43 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: in fact you should | 11:43 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: can create a folder in it that they own | 11:43 |
| Chuck_Norris | burnt: i recommend doing a fresh install always | 11:43 |
| jrib | burnt: what does « apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop » return? | 11:43 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: and* | 11:43 |
| m_fulder | wawowe yeah haha , but while creating a new user like : useradd myUser -d myDir .. won't that make the user own myDir automaticly? | 11:43 |
| MonkeyDust | burnt yes, but backup first | 11:43 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: no | 11:44 |
| m_fulder | wawowe ok, but then if I have a user and put his home dir as the root-home dir and put only 700 access on all files .. how come the user still can erase all root's files? | 11:44 |
| sveinse | Chuck_Norris: I do know it's deps, of course. But I'd like apt-get/dpkg to resolve & fetch the missing packages when installing a deb manually. So I'm sitting here with a bare .deb file with a list of deps from the mainstream repo. If I were to install it with with "dpkg -i" it will fail. But wawowe's method seems to work | 11:44 |
| jenamith | MonkeyDust: my key board shorcuts are not working like Alt f4 Alt Tab so on | 11:44 |
| jrib | sveinse: uh, why aren't you using gdebi... | 11:45 |
| d4rkolo | hi all | 11:45 |
| burnt | jrib ubuntu-desktop: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.267 Version table: 1.267 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages, apt-cache policy | 11:45 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: in that senario they can't even login | 11:45 |
| jrib | burnt: do « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » | 11:45 |
| burnt | installing | 11:46 |
| burnt | :) | 11:46 |
| burnt | done | 11:46 |
| MonkeyDust | jenamith before you try and modify an OS, learn the basics | 11:46 |
| burnt | should I log out and back in ? | 11:46 |
| m_fulder | wawowe, ok then not all files are chmoded 700 .. say I chmod the dirs the ftp user need to access to login to 707 (only chmod not chmod -R now) .. then the user can login to that folder .. and there he has all files chmoded 700 | 11:46 |
| jrib | burnt: probably | 11:46 |
| burnt | thanks brb :) | 11:47 |
| MonkeyDust | jenamith it's in System Settings - Keyboard - Shortcuts | 11:47 |
| m_fulder | wawowe, then he should be able to acces the folders (i.e. log in) but not be able to change/delete any files | 11:47 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: wouldn't be able to login because he wouldn't have permission to access root-home | 11:48 |
| m_fulder | wawowe but if I set the roots home dir to chmod 777 he would | 11:49 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: assuming you meant the root user's home dir | 11:49 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: should just make a seperate directory | 11:49 |
| jenamith | Thanks | 11:49 |
| m_fulder | still I can't :P | 11:49 |
| m_fulder | wawowe, I need the root and the ftp user to work on same folders and files | 11:49 |

| m_fulder | wawowe yes :) | 11:50 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: or root as in / | 11:50 |

| wawowe | m_fulder: why would you need root to have ftp access? | 11:51 |
| m_fulder | wawowe, no its the other way around, I need the ftp user to have access to some of roots files | 11:51 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: put root's files in a directory they have access to | 11:52 |
| 31NABFN1B | hi, is there a reference documentation about the gsettings property com.canonical.unity.panel? | 11:52 |
| m_fulder | wawowe but why move them? can't I just make the ftp users access them where they are now (in roots home dir) | 11:52 |
| === 31NABFN1B is now known as sebastian____ | ||
| wawowe | m_fulder: you could but that gives those users access to everything else that's in root's home | 11:53 |
| === AJC is now known as Guest35957 | ||
| m_fulder | wawoe I really don't get why ... how come a user not ownig the directory full access to the files which are chmoded 700 | 11:54 |
| m_fulder | get* | 11:54 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: for instance if you had an ssh key or something in there.. | 11:55 |
| jsschmid | Hi folks | 11:55 |
| burnt | thanks jrib | 11:55 |
| burnt | :) send you a pm | 11:55 |
| jsschmid | I'd like to know how I can set persistent environment variables | 11:55 |
| jsschmid | I ws using /etc/environments | 11:55 |
| jsschmid | but ran into problems | 11:56 |
| jrib | jsschmid: please explain your problem on ONE line | 11:56 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: they don't | 11:56 |
| Rizer | My wireless was working on Ubuntu Server distro 12.04 before I installed the GUI (long story), then it stopped working when I isntalled the GUI GNOME. Wired Networks and Wireless Netowrks are greyed out, how do I fix this? | 11:56 |
| m_fulder | wawowe, they seems to get it :P | 11:56 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: if they don't own the directory or the file in it, then they do not | 11:56 |
| jsschmid | if I edit this file with nano they file shown is not environment but environment.something | 11:56 |
| m_fulder | wawowe well they own the dirs above where the file is placed..maybe that's the problem? | 11:56 |
| jsschmid | how is this possible | 11:57 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: that is the problem | 11:57 |
| Dr_Willis | jsschmid: clarify exact what you are doing and how. | 11:57 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: the file has to be in a directory that they do not own | 11:57 |
| m_fulder | wawowe aha! but then they can't access that dir via FTP .. crap! | 11:57 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: as long as there's one directory that they don't own between them and the file they won't be able to delete it | 11:58 |
| jsschmid | Dr_Willis: I'd like to set MAIL and was putting it in /etc/environment using MAIL=${HOME}/Maildir | 11:58 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: if the directory is chmodded then they can | 11:58 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: chmod 755 dir | 11:58 |
| chu | jsschmid: If you don't mind reading: http://www.codecoffee.com/tipsforlinux/articles/030.html | 11:59 |
| m_fulder | wawowe oh, so its the write folder flag that messes it up? does write for folders mean that the user get write access to all the files below? | 11:59 |
| _jeet | i am having problem connecting mobile broadband in 12.04 | 12:00 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: yes | 12:00 |
| DrHalan | hey guys. is there any tutorial how to create a debian package out of a cmake-project. running cmake and then creating a package with the makefiles works on my machine but when i upload the sourcepackage to launchpad the filepaths change (of course!) and the package doesn't build. | 12:00 |
| m_fulder | wawoe oh! and then what does the execution flag mean? | 12:00 |
| DrHalan | i know there is this cmake to deb export build in but it doesn't seem to work taht good.. | 12:00 |
| Dr_Willis | jsschmid: im not sure the use of $(HOME) is valid in that dir. | 12:00 |
| jsschmid | chu: thanks, actually I don't, as I already read http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/set-environment-variable-linux/ but it didn't work anyway | 12:00 |
| Dr_Willis | i mean in tht file. | 12:01 |
| jrib | m_fulder, wawowe: uh, is that true (about the write flag on dirs)? | 12:01 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: it's necessary for all directories if you want access to them | 12:01 |
| _jeet | before two days it was running successful .. but i am having problem now | 12:01 |
| _jeet | any suggestion ? | 12:01 |
| jsschmid | Dr_Willis: is there any alternative to have the relative path (home dir of the respective user) ? | 12:01 |
| m_fulder | jrib yeah I had a folder with full access and then none access on the files inside .. still everyone could delete/change the files inside | 12:01 |
| jrib | m_fulder: deleting is one thing, writing to the files is another | 12:02 |
| wawowe | jrib: if the dir is 777 then they can delete what's in it if they own the parent dir | 12:02 |
| jrib | wawowe: yes | 12:02 |
| === mali is now known as fra_dolcino | ||
| m_fulder | jrib, wawowe, isn't delete and write to files both depending on the write flag? | 12:02 |
| burnt | 777 anyone can delete | 12:02 |
| wawowe | jrib: what were you asking? | 12:02 |
| jsschmid | Dr_Willis: probably something with $LOGNAME ? | 12:03 |
| wawowe | m_fulder: yes | 12:03 |
| jrib | wawowe: write permission on a directory doesn't mean a user can write to files in that directory | 12:03 |
| wawowe | jrib: if it's 777 it does | 12:03 |
| * FreeHero Your country need you http://www.erepublik.com/en/referrer/FreeHero | 12:03 | |
| wawowe | jrib: and it can't be 766 or they wouldn't be able to cd | 12:03 |
| Darael | wawowe: No, it doesn't - not if the files already exist and the user /doesn't/ have write permissions for them. | 12:04 |
| yuka | hi guys | 12:04 |
| wawowe | jrib: so to have the w flag it would have to be | 12:04 |
| m_fulder | wawowe then what's the differance between execute and read for a folder? | 12:04 |
| m_fulder | wawoe oh read is that you can see it from above maybe? | 12:05 |
| wawowe | Darael: no what doesn't? | 12:05 |
| yuka | i found windows7 theme for ubuntu (12.04 is my version), but seems the theme needs gnome.. i installed gnome, but the script (win7-setup.sh) seems to want gtk2 (gnome 2) my ubuntu seems to be running gnome3 (gtk3) and therefor doesent work. Is there a workaround or way to install gnome2 on ubuntu 12.04 | 12:05 |
| Darael | wawowe: write permission on a directory doesn't necessarily mean a user can write to files in that directory. | 12:05 |
| wawowe | Darael: if they own the parent directory it does | 12:06 |
| jrib | wawowe: show on pastebin | 12:06 |
| wawowe | Darael: for instance if there's a directory in your home owned by root that is 777 | 12:06 |
| wawowe | Darael: jrib and a file in it that's 000 | 12:06 |
| wawowe | Darael: you can remove it | 12:06 |
| Darael | wawowe: No, it doesn't. It means they can create files in that directory, and delete files in that directory, but it doesn't mean they can write to /any/ file in that directory. | 12:06 |
| yuka | or better question does anybody know a windows7 theme for ubuntu 12.04 that works | 12:07 |
| jrib | wawowe: removing it and recreating is different than writing to it | 12:07 |
| wawowe | Darael: jrib never said it wasn't different | 12:07 |
| wawowe | Darael: jrib but it has the same result | 12:07 |
| jrib | wawowe: well all I'm claiming is that having writing permission on a directory does not imply you can write to a file if you don't have write permissions on that file | 12:08 |
| wawowe | jrib: right, and if you delete it you can't recreate it with the permissions it had before | 12:08 |
| jsschmid | well, guess I'll go on trying myself.. | 12:08 |
| jsschmid | see you | 12:08 |
| m_fulder | wawowe sucess! now everything works as I wanted it to! Thanks a lot! | 12:08 |
| Darael | yuka: gnome2 is no longer supported, but Ubuntu /or/ by the GNOME project itself. I don't believe there is a windows 7 theme for gnome3. The closest thing I can think of to Win7 on Linux is KDE4, which is a different desktop you can get by installing kubuntu instead, or adding the kubuntu-desktop package to your existing install. | 12:08 |
| wawowe | jrib: but you can delete it and that was his issue | 12:09 |
| cpppp | how to check if iptables server is installed on my machine? | 12:10 |
| m_fulder | cpppp I gues you can try running "sudo iptables --list" and see if it works | 12:10 |
| Darael | cpppp: The firewall managed by iptables is part of the kernel. What do you mean by "iptables server"? | 12:11 |
| yuka | Darael thanks much for answer, i am installing kubuntu-desktop | 12:11 |
| yuka | hopefully it will be close enough | 12:11 |
| Darael | cpppp: Whichever package it is that provides the iptables command is one of the depends of ubuntu-minimal, so it should be installed on /any/ Ubuntu installation. m_fulder's command should help, if you're unsure, though. | 12:12 |
| cpppp | ah ok, i want to activate the routing on the firewall | 12:13 |
| cpppp | how can i do that? | 12:13 |

| xangua | !root | HenryTrollins | 12:24 |
| ubottu | HenryTrollins: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 12:24 |
| wawowe | cpppp: if you want to filter out ads and stuff like that you can use privoxy or something | 12:24 |

| HenryTrollins | no need for sudo | 12:25 |

| ikonia | jenamith: well, if the tool you want to use is not availalbe on the distro you want to use, you can't use it | 12:26 |

| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 12:41 |

| directX | Dr_willis : i want to crack wep password | 12:58 |
| Jonii | I have heard that gnome screensaver or something is responsible for screen locking. For some reason, it seems that ubuntu 12.4 does not have screensaver options, so I don't know anything about that | 12:58 |
| Dr_Willis | directX: and how is this related to Ubuntu support? where did thia script come drom? | 12:58 |

| ikonia | theseus: the kernel has nothing to do with a gui or not | 13:33 |
| jennie | why ubuntu is better than debian ? | 13:33 |
| ikonia | theseus: just install xubuntu | 13:34 |
| ikonia | jennie: it's not, it's personal opinion what you like | 13:34 |
| theseus | ikonia: well yeah that is the easy answer, you could have just said you dont know what the cause for slow boot time in Xfce, lol | 13:34 |

| J11_ | Dr_Willis: there is still no application to be found even in the alt search | 13:37 |
| The_Explorer | Greetings, I have a quesiton about IO schedualing: When compressing in the background my computer will periodically stutter. Is there any way i can optimize my computer to (by default) optimize for multitasking over single program performance? | 13:37 |
| Snowie | qwd, i would try ctrl-alt-f1 to drop to root prompt, and then ctrl-alt-f7(is that the default terminal now everyone?) to get back to your current session. But, real answer is, probably now | 13:38 |
| Snowie | qwd, *not | 13:38 |
| qwd | Snowie: Yeah I did that, that's how I'm writing here :) Tried closing a few random things from htop but no luck | 13:40 |
| r3dux | The_Explorer - I have the same issue, heavy disk IO makes my machine stutter, in theory this could be "niced" to a low value, but in practice.... I don't know... | 13:40 |
| r3dux | You'd have to be able to recognise sustained disk IO and renice it to some low value on the fly. | 13:41 |
| qwd | Snowie: I guess I'll just reboot then. Thanks! | 13:41 |
| ikonia | The_Explorer: why do you think it's i/o related specifically ? | 13:42 |
| altin | can anyone tell me how can I do a vpn connection with cisco vpn server | 13:42 |
| r3dux | Any nicing happens per process, not per IO usage, so it's a hard one | 13:42 |
| altin | with IKE and IPSEC | 13:42 |
| r3dux | ikonia: Because it's a known issue. Google "Linux IO slowdown" | 13:43 |
| IlPalazzo-ojiisa | Hello everyone... I have a small problem getting games to run on Linux. | 13:43 |
| IlPalazzo-ojiisa | (I hope it hasn't been asked too many times before) | 13:44 |
| ikonia | r3dux: I'm asking how you know this specific example relates to an i/o problem | 13:44 |
| ikonia | or how The_Explorer knows/believes | 13:44 |
| IlPalazzo-ojiisa | It's not a WINE issue, as I'm trying to run games that have native Linux ports. | 13:44 |
| saml | hey, if I do apt-get remove something, will it remove all dependancies, too? | 13:44 |
| IlPalazzo-ojiisa | (So far, Bastion and Katawa Shoujo.) | 13:44 |
| saml | i mean, packages that depend on something | 13:44 |
| r3dux | ikonia - linux i/o scheduling is generally weak. How I know this is becuase the system slows down significantly. | 13:45 |
| IlPalazzo-ojiisa | I tried to run the latter, and I was faced with the following code: | 13:45 |
| ikonia | r3dux: I'm well aware of i/o issues, I'm asking The_Explorer why he thinks this specific issue is i/o | 13:45 |
| r3dux | The_Explorer: The floor is yours. | 13:46 |
| IlPalazzo-ojiisa | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1017937/ | 13:46 |
| IlPalazzo-ojiisa | I assume that python has been set up incorrectly, somehow. | 13:46 |
| The_Explorer | r3dux, renicing was attempted and whats even more irritating was it was on a SEPERATE DRIVE... /facepalm. I just dont know, lol. | 13:47 |
| OerHeks | IlPalazzo-ojiisa, do you run that game on 64 bit linux ? i read here it only runs on 32 bit > http://ks.renai.us/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=6474 | 13:48 |
| The_Explorer | ikonia, I think its IO related because i have 8 cores and that task was only using one. | 13:48 |
| r3dux | The_Explorer: Wrong answer. | 13:48 |
| IlPalazzo-ojiisa | Umm........ | 13:48 |
| ikonia | The_Explorer: that just may mean it's not doing smp - there must be something that points you at i/o | 13:48 |
| IlPalazzo-ojiisa | There's a possibility there, yeah... | 13:49 |
| cpppp | what is the file /etc/resolv.conf for? | 13:49 |
| AdvoWork | anyone aware of a program I can use that splits a directory of files into multiple folders? | 13:49 |
| IlPalazzo-ojiisa | ...but that doesn't explain why Bastion quits after a short while, too. | 13:49 |
| r3dux | AdvoWork: Using what criteria? | 13:49 |
| IlPalazzo-ojiisa | Could it be the same problem? | 13:49 |
| The_Explorer | r3dux, Thankyou for your commentary. However "wrong answer" does not take the example of which i have presented and present a solution. | 13:50 |
| Oprtz | !help , i want to install windows 7 again, because ubuntu is difficult for me :( but windows7 dvd cant boot the system :( wha tto do | 13:51 |
| ubottu | Oprtz: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:51 |
| The_Explorer | ikonia, do you have a solution to the issue of a slowdown of that sort in relation to single thread compression, in the background and taking place on a seperate hard drive? | 13:51 |
| r3dux | The_Explorer: You're absolutely right, it doesn't. Throughput depends on multiple factors, the processing speed and/or usage is generally the least of which. | 13:51 |
| AdvoWork | r3dux, size really, 1000's of files, need to burn to dvd, so need to split by dvd size, so say 4GB ideally? | 13:52 |
| ikonia | The_Explorer: I'd need to understand the problem more, hence why I was asking you why you think it's i/o related | 13:52 |
| IlPalazzo-ojiisa | ...so, it's to Windows I go then. | 13:52 |
| IlPalazzo-ojiisa | Thanks for the help, OerHeks. | 13:53 |
| Oprtz | !help , i want to install windows 7 again, because ubuntu is difficult for me :( but windows7 dvd cant boot the system :( wha tto do | 13:53 |
| J11_ | Is there a way I could set DISPLAY in a TTY so I can run a terminal in gnome? | 13:53 |
| r3dux | AdvoWork: 4.7GB for a DVD-5, but you have take into account file overheads, so if you have 100,000 x 1KB files it'll cost more than 1 x 47000MB file. | 13:54 |
| The_Explorer | very well mr ikonia: large folder -> compressing large folder to *.7z -> proceeding to game/surf/movie -> notable stutter and extreme loading of programs noticed. System crash. (ctrl+alt+bks) | 13:54 |
| OerHeks | Oprtz check your computer manual howto setup booting from cd/dvd, else join ##windows for support | 13:54 |

| jtac | how can i make a user so he can make sudo ? | 13:55 |

| The_Explorer | ikonia, ok I understand. I will stop assuming its the I/O... Suggestions, please? | 13:55 |
| jtac | ikonia: cmd? | 13:55 |
| r3dux | AdvoWork: Just compress as many folders as you can and then dump to DVD where the compressed file size is < 4.7 -- OR -- use some backup software which does it for you. | 13:55 |
| ikonia | The_Explorer: well, what have you done so far | 13:55 |
| ikonia | jtac: usermod | 13:55 |
| === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk | ||
| llutz_ | ^Mike: aptitude search ~c | 13:56 |
| llutz_ | ^Mike: aptitude purge ~c to get rid of them | 13:56 |
| The_Explorer | mr ikonia, what i have done so far is play with Ktaskman(ksysguard) varios processor and harddrive schedualling to see its outcome. I have changed the nice +5 in combination. | 13:56 |
| ikonia | The_Explorer: ok, install sysstat and run "iostat 3" while doing the compression test | 13:57 |
| ^Mike | llutz_: awesome - thanks! | 13:57 |
| r3dux | ikonia/The_Explorer: Hold on ... big compression --> play a game --> crash. Sounds like you ran out of memory and something didn't handle it well. | 13:57 |
| AdvoWork | r3dux, i have to then keep selecting number of files to get close to 4gb, get me? | 13:57 |
| The_Explorer | r3dux I have 16 gigabytes of ram | 13:57 |
| jtac | ikonia: usermod -G root jtac doesnt work | 13:57 |
| ikonia | r3dux: The_Explorer you could have a memory leak in the game (for example) | 13:57 |
| r3dux | The_Explorer: Doesn't mean you had 16GB available. | 13:58 |

| morphoses | i am thinking about installing linux on to my parents computer | 13:58 |
| morphoses | what distro would you recommend? | 13:58 |
| r3dux | Don't. | 13:58 |
| morphoses | ubuntu or mint? | 13:58 |
| Snowie | morphoses, lol. where have you come buddy, what answer will you likely get | 13:58 |
| ikonia | morphoses: see what they like, if they like it great, if not, don't use it | 13:58 |
| llutz_ | jtlap: if you really run "usermod -G root jtac", it removed you from all groups != root... | 13:59 |
| ikonia | jtlap_: where did I say anything about root | 13:59 |
| ikonia | jtlap_: I said add them to the admin group | 13:59 |
| The_Explorer | r3dux, in the task man, the game i was using never exceeded 2Gb and showed at 1x,xxx MB free | 13:59 |
| morphoses | heh true that Snowie | 13:59 |
| ikonia | The_Explorer: you wouldn't see it if it had a leak | 13:59 |
| ikonia | The_Explorer: run iostat 3 like I suggested see if your IO is bottlenecking | 13:59 |
| MrNaz_out | ok so in 12.04 apparently the firewire stack has been completely replaced... sudo modprobe raw3194 returns a no such module error... whats the correct way to work with firewire with the new fw stack? | 14:00 |
| r3dux | When installing *nix on a parents machine you have two choices: 1 - Install a generic linux and hope the can live with it, or 2.) Install a BSD with 3 icons on the desktop: Email, Web, Shutdown. | 14:00 |
| The_Explorer | ikonia, i will do as you ask. your assistance is appreciated. | 14:00 |
| morphoses | option 1 | 14:00 |
| morphoses | Btw is it possible to install two separate languages for two separate profiles on ubuntu? | 14:00 |
| Snowie | i would say that ubuntu probably has much more easily accessible help. throw the live cd/dvd in their drive for a bit. it should still give them their photos etc. come back in a few days and see what questions they ask | 14:00 |
| r3dux | The_Explorer: How about this - sometimes machines segfault and crash. It's not you. It's them. | 14:00 |
| ikonia | morphoses: yes | 14:01 |
| J11_ | well it seems DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm did the the trick | 14:01 |
| morphoses | i.e. english for user 1 and spanish for user 2 | 14:01 |

| exiff | the old one | 14:06 |
| tensorpudding | like, from 2006 old | 14:07 |

| exiff | which is the latest 2.X? | 14:07 |
| morphoses | which is annoying | 14:07 |

| roasted | Hi - Question there. I have the Gimp 2.8 DEB files and Im curious which ones I need to install to have a fully functioning Gimp 2.8 without the actual PPA. Two of the packages I have are gimp-data-ubuntuppa-precise-all.deb packages, and the other 2 are gimp-ubuntu-ppa-precise_amd64.deb packages. Do I need all 4 to successfully install? | 14:07 |
| tensorpudding | the versions track gnome, afaik | 14:07 |
| exiff | in which case, is it usable on precise? that 2.30? | 14:07 |
| OerHeks | roasted, those are ppa packages, see the name. | 14:08 |
| tensorpudding | not without a separate gnome possibly | 14:08 |
| exiff | or will it break stuff? | 14:08 |
| roasted | OerHeks: I know, but we just want to dump the .deb's into the install and not have an "actual" PPA to manage. | 14:08 |
| ikonia | roasted: it won't work | 14:08 |
| ikonia | roasted: the gimp deb will fail as it won't meet the dependencies | 14:09 |
| roasted | ikonia: oh... well uh... we made it work before. o.O | 14:09 |
| ikonia | roasted: dpkg -i $debfile then | 14:09 |
| roasted | ikonia: yeah that's the issue I'm running into now. We did the same thing before and it worked fine though. | 14:09 |
| ikonia | roasted: same gimp version ? | 14:09 |
| roasted | ikonia: nah, it was 2.6 then. | 14:09 |
| === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk | ||
| ikonia | roasted: right , so that's nothing like what you did before | 14:09 |
| ikonia | roasted: the dependencies are totally different | 14:09 |
| K4k | Hi, I'm trying to mount a Windows file share in Ubuntu using gvfs-mount. The same command works on another box running RedHat Linux but in Ubuntu it does not accept my password. The command I'm running is "gvfs-mount 'smb://my.domain;my_username@server.my.domain/Share_name'" | 14:09 |
| ikonia | hence why the PPA breaks peoples system | 14:09 |
| yahqod | can someone give me a help with gnome-panel, I can not apply transparency, I put an image for what I say but partially applied using ubuntu 4.12 LTS ... Precise and fallback to gnome ... and the theme Docky I'm using GTK is Orion and Emerald window manager I use | 14:10 |
| roasted | ikonia: eh, that's a bummer. | 14:10 |
| ikonia | it will force you to pull down a load of stuff that is newer/different than the base system | 14:10 |
| roasted | ikonia: but that's unavoidable if you want the latest software version... | 14:10 |
| ikonia | roasted: not really, you can setup a PPA to not create conflicts | 14:10 |
| ikonia | the PPA is just setup sloppy | 14:10 |
| ikonia | I created a repo for 2.7 gimp just to prove it could be done | 14:11 |
| exiff | hmmmm, what a bother. Thanks anyway tensorpudding . | 14:11 |
| roasted | ikonia: the thing is, we want to actual the *actual* PPA... we're packaging our image now for 12.04 for our internal systems, so we want to be PPA-less with newer software installed, such as Gimp 2.8 | 14:11 |
| roasted | we want to avoid* | 14:11 |
| ikonia | roasted: why do you want 2.8 ? | 14:11 |
| ikonia | roasted: and the actual PPA is the thing that breaks your OS | 14:12 |
| roasted | ikonia: because 2.8 is a substantial improvement over 2.6 in terms of GUI arrangement. It's going to serve as a Photoshop replacement for our students. | 14:12 |
| ikonia | roasted: then you need to make a whole set of packages and dependencies yourself that do not conflict with the system | 14:12 |
| ikonia | roasted: that's how you'd do it | 14:12 |
| Snowie | morphoses, sorry bout that. but as far as i can tell, yes | 14:12 |
| roasted | ikonia: not sure I fully understand... you're suggesting we download each and every last dependency (manually) that gimp 2.8 needs and package it from there? | 14:13 |
| ikonia | roasted: not at all | 14:13 |
| wwd | hi folks i am trying to initiate a iscsi connection with a target i setup (i am exporting an md device using iscsitarget). On the initiator I have discovered the target and iscsi -m session shows the target, however fdisk doesn't seem to be able to find it… what am i missing… thanks | 14:13 |
| ikonia | roasted: I'm suggesting you ignore the data in the PPA as that what will break your host, and you make your own set of packages that do not conflict with the OS and install them locally | 14:13 |
| fl1bbl3 | ikonia: like with a tarball and checkinstall? | 14:13 |

| fl1bbl3 | haha :) | 14:14 |
| roasted | OerHeks: no. | 14:14 |
| marco | people, what do you think of a XML file format that could describe the addition and installation of software from a ppa? That way, if the user wants to install something from a ppa, all the user would need to do was to download the xml file, double-click it and confirm installation. What do you think? | 14:14 |
| roasted | OerHeks: we're using 12.04 for a reason, and will use it for a substantial duration of the LTS lifecycle. | 14:14 |
| ikonia | roasted: if you are using it for the LTS functionality then you should not even consider the packages from the gimp 2.8 PPA | 14:14 |

| Snowie | wow, just me or a ppl a bit grumpy tonight | 14:15 |
| marco | r3dux: I know that. But look, there's already a ppa for gimp 2.8. A lot of people want it, but it is not user-friendly to install it. I think it is a good compromise | 14:15 |
| `prixon | hello | 14:16 |
| Snowie | Gabrail, works ok for me. what is happening when your machine crashes | 14:16 |
| ikonia | roasted: ok, so you need to build your own gimp 2.8 packages that you can make sure do not conflict / dependency conflict with the LTS components | 14:16 |
| r3dux | Gabriel - ditch Unity, run Gnome 3 (Gnome Shell) | 14:16 |

| Snowie | obelus, not directed at you mate. | 14:17 |

| roasted | ikonia: well, we're already in the testing phase of our image. We have a couple Linux gurus on our team, I'll run it by them and see what they have to say. | 14:18 |
| roasted | ikonia: it's just, me personally, I'm drawing a bit of a blank on this setup. | 14:18 |
| Snowie | Xeneth, first thing to mind is a script to log .... frik what's that command again. where you can see all the current connections | 14:18 |
| ikonia | roasted: that would be the most professional and safe advise I can offer you | 14:18 |
| ikonia | roasted: it's not a small task and you need a little experience to make sure you dodge conflicts | 14:18 |
| ikonia | roasted: if you depend on LTS, then keep away from the gimp PPA data even if it's in the PPA or not | 14:19 |
| roasted | ikonia: sounds good. I appreciate the insight. Hey if you got a minute, I'd like to throw some FYI's about Motion I ran into last night, in case it helps you in the future with your testing of it. | 14:19 |

| Xeneth | ... established | 14:22 |
| obelus | You can use iptables or ufw rules to log when connections are established. I wouldn't know the exact command to do it though. | 14:23 |
| Snowie | Xeneth, i was thinking a script that could run routinely and compare what was to what is now. might give you a rough guide. | 14:23 |
| obelus | Xeneth: ufw or iptables can accomplish what you want. Mine already logs all connections that it blocks, but you can set it to log connections that are allowed too. It logs time, src ip:port and dest ip:port | 14:24 |
| llutz_ | Xeneth: just make sure you have enough diskspace for /var | 14:25 |
| Xeneth | obelus: Sweet, sounds like what I am looking for. Not a public server, so I do not have to worry about bloated logs. | 14:25 |

| obelus | Not sure about the way iptables does it, but the logrotator works on ufw's logs and archives them each month | 14:26 |
| obelus | I believe the log is customizable, but here's a sample of what mine produces, logging only blocks | 14:27 |

| maxagaz | hi | 14:30 |
| maxagaz | how to get ettercap working on ubuntu 12.04 ? | 14:30 |
| JoseAntonioR | FfoO: I think suspend would work fine. | 14:30 |
| llutz_ | Xeneth: iptables examples: http://bit.ly/LQJfNh and as i said, be aware, those logs will be huge | 14:30 |
| obelus | yahqod: All I can suggest is that maybe it's your theme. Other than that, I don't have any suggestions | 14:30 |
| yahqod | okkk obelus thank u.. | 14:31 |
| obelus | Xeneth: I'd probably scroll down a bit and look at the example for only logging the initial connection to make your logs more readable | 14:31 |
| FfoO | JoseAntonioR: This one saves on RAM. I need something like hibernate, for I don't have battery pack anymore. | 14:32 |
| JoseAntonioR | FfoO: You can use hibernate too. | 14:32 |
| morphoses | is there a non-bloatware version of Ubuntu? | 14:33 |
| FfoO | JoseAntonioR: Is there a command line? I can't see the option on the desktop environment (Gnome-Shell-Remix) | 14:33 |
| Snowie | morphoses, lubuntu, but the interface is quite different | 14:34 |
| llutz_ | !mini | morphoses try this if that wasn't a trolling-attempt | 14:34 |
| ubottu | morphoses try this if that wasn't a trolling-attempt: 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 | 14:34 |
| JoseAntonioR | FfoO: Ctrl+Alt+T | 14:34 |
| bjorkintosh | morphoses, debian. | 14:34 |
| morphoses | debian's a no go..my laptop's sound drivers go awry with debian | 14:34 |
| bjorkintosh | ah right. | 14:35 |
| bjorkintosh | is it an old laptop? | 14:35 |
| bjorkintosh | i use xubuntu myself. | 14:35 |
| Snowie | morphoses, i have had that running on laptops that still had IR ports and floppy drives | 14:35 |
| bjorkintosh | i've got a 40 gig harddisk. | 14:35 |
| bjorkintosh | infact, it's what i'm using right now... | 14:35 |
| justdave | is there somewhere in Ubuntu to reprogram keyboard keys or how they're interpreted? My keyboard has media keys on it, which Ubuntu recognizes, but recognizes them wrong. :) It thinks my "volume up" button is actually "activate screensaver" despite not being set for that in the Keyboard Shortcuts panel | 14:35 |
| bjorkintosh | a dell inspiron 6000. | 14:35 |
| Snowie | morphoses, but, minimal cd and pick and choose, is, most likely a better option | 14:35 |
| justdave | I don't see a defined shortcut for "activate screensaver" in the control panel, only "lock screen", and that one's disabled, but hitting my volume up button locks the screen anyway | 14:36 |
| justdave | if I try to program "volume up" for that button, it puts "screensaver" as the name of the key I pushed | 14:37 |
| morphoses | Thank you..I've used Ubuntu before and it comes with extra apps that won't be needed by rent's, so instead of manually uninstalling everything figured going with a lite/minimal version would be the good choice | 14:37 |
| justdave | and it still activates the screensaver instead of bumping the volume when I press it. | 14:37 |
| FfoO | JoseAntonioR: I need the command, please. | 14:37 |
| The_Explorer | ikonia, As a randomed style troubleshooting curiousity, I reran the compression process in question under a tightvnc rooted Xsession. It appears im having no issues. | 14:37 |

| morphoses | once i order wireless adapters i'd be set..i've been bashing my head against the rock trying to install windows on this HD..bs properity drivers etc | 14:38 |

| cuddylier | Hello, How would I transfer a mysql database from one computer to another? | 14:42 |

| The_Explorer | *Old School Gnome*: Does anyone know if theres a script or other method of getting gnome back the way I used to have it? | 14:44 |
| === hari is now known as harikt | ||
| stimpie | diverdude, it could be something with your graphics card. | 14:44 |
| larissa | cuddylier, you don't want/can't make a dump and restore the dump in another computer? | 14:44 |
| cuddylier | Sure | 14:45 |
| llutz_ | cuddylier: use mysqldump, dump the database into a file, transfer to other computer | 14:45 |
| diverdude | stimpie: is it because ubuntu does not support my hardware properly? | 14:45 |
| cuddylier | llutz_ Where would it dump the mysql? | 14:45 |
| cuddylier | llutz_ Also, how would I then set it up on the other computer? | 14:45 |
| llutz_ | cuddylier: whereever you tell it to do | 14:45 |
| FfoO | The_Explorer: have you tried on GRUB screen, or maybe log in screen...? | 14:45 |
| cuddylier | llutz_ Does it ask me when I type that command? | 14:45 |
| ratanparai | The_Explorer: I think ubuntu 12.04 have this option, gnome classic | 14:46 |
| llutz_ | cuddylier: no, read "man mysqldump" | 14:46 |
| cuddylier | llutz_ I'm a ubuntu n00b | 14:46 |
| cuddylier | llutz_ Where would I type the directory then | 14:46 |
| stimpie | diverdude, I assume you have 2 graphics cards (i7 + nvidia) for 'normal' usage only the intel is required. The drivers on windows disable the NVIDIA | 14:46 |
| llutz_ | cuddylier: open a terminal, type "man mysqldump" and read. | 14:47 |
| FfoO | The_Explorer: You should first try first the Login screen as Gnome-classic, indeed. | 14:47 |

| MSullins | i think my disk do... it has a system disk and language packs and stuff. | 15:01 |
| wawowe | maxagaz: apt-get install ettercap-graphical | 15:02 |
| maxagaz | wawowe: and it works for you ? | 15:02 |
| maxagaz | wawowe: I mean, you can run it ? | 15:02 |
| shazzner | MSullins: I would probably just dual boot for now, instead of wiping win 7. Just in case. | 15:02 |
| shazzner | just my opinion though | 15:02 |
| wawowe | maxagaz: yup, ettercap -G | 15:03 |
| wawowe | maxagaz: or -C | 15:03 |
| MSullins | ok, but im dual booting right now and its kinda sluggish and keeps saying it encountered an internal error | 15:03 |
| maxagaz | wawowe: great, thanks! | 15:04 |
| shazzner | huh, are you using Wubi by chance? | 15:04 |
| MSullins | yes | 15:04 |
| kantlivelong | anyone here have experience with bumblebee? | 15:04 |
| shazzner | ah that explains it | 15:04 |
| shazzner | yeah wubi is pretty slow | 15:04 |
| wawowe | maxagaz: you need to run it as root | 15:05 |
| shazzner | if you install ubuntu, but tell it to install alongside windows 7, it will create a separate partition | 15:05 |
| shazzner | and install grub so you can choose which os you want | 15:05 |
| maxagaz | wawowe: yes, it works now with the -G option | 15:05 |
| shazzner | you'll get full hardware acceleration and none of the weird issues wubi has sometimes | 15:05 |
| MSullins | ok, how would i "uninstall" that partion if needed? | 15:05 |
| maxagaz | wawowe: wondering why it's not -G by default, it's hard to know it... | 15:06 |
| fraterm | is there any enhancement to the proxy configuration in ubuntu to allow proxy to be bypassed for certain URLS/Networks? | 15:06 |
| shazzner | in that case I think window recover disk will work | 15:06 |
| wawowe | maxagaz: because you can run it without an interface | 15:06 |
| MSullins | ok, and how would i install GRUB? | 15:06 |
| maxagaz | wawowe: hmm, ok | 15:06 |
| shazzner | ubuntu will do it automagically | 15:06 |
| maxagaz | wawowe: I'll try some mitm attack tomorrow, thanks for your help :-) | 15:07 |
| shazzner | basically you'll install it alongside of windows (it's one of the options) and next time you boot it will have a menu showing all os options | 15:07 |
| shazzner | that's grub | 15:07 |
| MSullins | ok so would i also need to shrink my windows partion? | 15:07 |
| shazzner | ubuntu should do that too | 15:08 |
| ironhalik | anyone noticed the lockscreen locking only one display? while still showing the contents of the other one? (you can even click on stuff there) | 15:08 |
| MSullins | is it safe to let it shrink it? | 15:08 |
| shazzner | sometimes it makes weird descions though and doesn't give enough swap, so if you really really know what you're doing you can partition it yourself | 15:08 |
| diverdude | all my CPU's (i have 4) are around 80 degrees, and im not really doing anything "hard work" on my computer. just running ubuntu. Is this normal? | 15:08 |
| shazzner | I've never had any issues, it's pretty stable these days | 15:08 |
| jiffe98 | why would mdadm --create give me the message 'mdadm: ADD_NEW_DISK for /dev/sdc failed: Device or resource busy' ? | 15:08 |
| shazzner | your milage may vary | 15:08 |
| shazzner | that being said though, make sure you have enough free space to begin with | 15:09 |
| shazzner | ie have a least 10gb or so free on the disk before you start | 15:09 |
| MSullins | my hard drive is like 250 GB. | 15:09 |
| sacarlson | jiffe98: sounds like maybe something on /dev/sdc is mounted | 15:10 |
| shazzner | but if the data is up to 249 GB it'll wind up destroy data | 15:10 |
| shazzner | *destroying | 15:10 |
| diverdude | all my CPU's (i have 4) are around 80 degrees, and im not really doing anything "hard work" on my computer. just running ubuntu. Is this normal? | 15:10 |
| shazzner | if you get my meaning | 15:11 |
| MSullins | there is atleast 120 GB free with windows and all my current files on it. | 15:11 |
| jiffe98 | sacarlson: its not though | 15:11 |
| shazzner | ok you should be fine then :) | 15:11 |
| jiffe98 | sacarlson: nothing mounted, I've run --zero-superblock on it, I've tried passing --assume-clean to mdadm --create but it won't add sdd to that raid device | 15:12 |
| MSullins | Great, still a little scared to do it but i guess i will test my luck =-O | 15:12 |
| shazzner | MSullins: yeah good luck, let this channel know if you have any issues | 15:13 |

| reisio | XiaYixuan: I imagine installing from an image from the ubuntu china website would have it all configured already | 15:53 |
| matt_caffeine | thanks reisio- got a quick answer there. | 15:54 |
| reisio | tbrown: server doesn't come with the desktop stuff, IIRC | 15:54 |
| XiaYixuan | XChat displays the characters fine | 15:54 |
| reisio | tbrown: you'd have to install it | 15:54 |
| XiaYixuan | but Mnemosyne does it wrong | 15:54 |
| reisio | XiaYixuan: okay, where do you see this X box? | 15:54 |

| tbrown | reisio: Yes I understand that I have to install the desktop envirment first I just wonder after the desktop is installed how can I get into the desktop session??? | 15:55 |
| reisio | XiaYixuan: http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/help/advanced-preferences.php | 15:55 |
| reisio | tbrown: you could: start lightdm, or run startx | 15:55 |
| reisio | tbrown: (or configure ~/.xinitrc and run startx, that is) | 15:56 |
| tbrown | reisio: I was wondering about that about startx because that works on backtrack two. But I installed the desktop experence or something and I tryed to run startx it work but it did not show the desktop or it did but it show the desktop and the mouse and when I type something it went to the bottom right corner screen:) | 15:57 |
| reisio | tbrown: you _are_ meant to configure ~/.xinitrc first | 15:58 |
| XiaYixuan | thx now it works like heaven | 15:58 |
| tbrown | reisio: How can I configur it first sorry am new two this stuff:) | 15:59 |
| reisio | say by adding 'exec ck-launch-session gnome-session' to it (or whatever GNOME 3's executable is | 15:59 |
| reisio | XiaYixuan: what was it? | 15:59 |
| XiaYixuan | I needed to set Mnemosyne's font to be a Chinese one | 15:59 |
| reisio | in its own prefs? | 16:00 |
| XiaYixuan | yeah | 16:00 |

| rad_daemon | I have installed Ubuntu Server 12.04. How will I install the default window manager? | 16:01 |
| reisio | rad_daemon: the default window manager... from the desktop edition? | 16:01 |
| rad_daemon | reisio, yes | 16:01 |
| reisio | rad_daemon: you want just the wm or the entire desktop environment? | 16:01 |
| mneptok | rad_daemon: that's Unity. you'll also need lightdm and other dependencies. | 16:02 |
| rad_daemon | reisio, the entire desktop environment | 16:02 |
| reisio | rad_daemon: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, IIRC | 16:02 |
| mneptok | rad_daemon: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 16:02 |
| rad_daemon | reisio, mneptok, thanks | 16:02 |
| mneptok | rad_daemon: be aware, that gives you a full-blown Ubuntu desktop. including LibreOffice, Firefox, and all the apps that come with a desktop install. | 16:03 |

| reisio | 8.04? :/ | 16:31 |
| reisio | ...you sure you don't need help? | 16:32 |
| tbrown | Yep | 16:32 |
| reisio | 'cause... that version is four years old | 16:32 |
| oCean | and not longer supported | 16:32 |
| Happy_Man | try 12.04 | 16:32 |
| Happy_Man | it's four years better :P | 16:32 |
| tbrown | reisio: That is true:) But it is LTS so I can upgrade anytime:) | 16:33 |
| reisio | from the server edition you could | 16:33 |
| reisio | for another year, sure | 16:33 |
| bakarat | if i set up a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces, it works great...until i reboot, has something changed concerning static ips in 12.04? | 16:34 |
| reisio | bakarat: what happens when you reboot? | 16:34 |
| Luca | Hello | 16:35 |
| reisio | hi Luca | 16:35 |
| bakarat | reisio, well, in general it seems to uses dhcp again though a few days ago i had the weird effect of my pc telling me i had x.x.x.69 (while the fixed one is x.x.x.100) and i could still ping 69 &100 | 16:35 |
| bakarat | reisio, but basically the system thinks (and acts) like it uses dhcp again | 16:35 |
| Luca | I have seen some screenshots of the ubuntu installer with an option install alongside Windows, do I have to prepare unpartitioned free space in windows for that to work? | 16:35 |
| bakarat | (i'm not an expert so sorry for being "vague") | 16:36 |
| reisio | bakarat: how're you determining it's using dhcp again? | 16:36 |
| Luca | I tried Wubi but I want a proper install since wubi was horribly slow | 16:36 |
| reisio | Luca: I believe it's meant to resize for you | 16:36 |
| bakarat | reisio, well it's a guess based on the fact that it gets the same address it had before i made it static. I have not monitored actual network traffic to see dhcp requests going out | 16:36 |
| reisio | Luca: you should defrag NTFS volumes from inside Windows beforehand, though | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Luca: check how your hard drives are partioned now. if you have 4 primary partions. you will need to do some work by hand | 16:36 |
| reisio | Luca: and backup anything you can't live without, as resizing is not 100000% safe | 16:36 |
| bakarat | reisio, also, if i restart the networking and network-manager (or combination thereof), it goes back to the static one | 16:36 |
| reisio | bakarat: so ifconfig doesn't show the IP you set it to be? | 16:37 |
| SilverWolfXIII | ok so i loaded my live 12.04 disk and now all it is showing is a black screen with a cursor in the upper left corner any suggestions | 16:37 |
| bakarat | reisio, indeed, until i restart the /etc/init.d/networking & network manager | 16:37 |
| reisio | SilverWolfXIII: what're you trying to do? | 16:37 |
| reisio | bakarat: and then it is? | 16:37 |
| SilverWolfXIII | test it to see if it runs before install | 16:38 |
| reisio | s/is/does show the ip you set/ | 16:38 |
| bakarat | reisio, ye seems to be ok then | 16:38 |
| reisio | SilverWolfXIII: nvidia card? | 16:38 |
| SilverWolfXIII | yea gtx 550 ti | 16:38 |
| reisio | bakarat: maybe networkmanager is getting in the way, hum | 16:38 |
| bakarat | reisio, any chance that network manager is doing something it shouldn't? (i have no clue how it works) | 16:38 |
| SilverWolfXIII | is that the problem i have debian installed but to advanced for me | 16:38 |
| reisio | SilverWolfXIII: my guess is it's trying to use nouveau (an open source driver that's less problematic to distribute) and it isn't quite familiar with that hardware configuration | 16:39 |
| bakarat | reisio, is it actually used for anything else or would it be safe/possible to shut network manager down? | 16:39 |
| reisio | SilverWolfXIII: so you'd want to use the proprietary nvidia driver | 16:39 |
| reisio | SilverWolfXIII: too advanced, they're like... practically the same | 16:39 |
| SilverWolfXIII | how do i doenload a live disk with the other driver | 16:39 |
| reisio | bakarat: mostly it's used for wireless network management | 16:39 |
| reisio | bakarat: you use wireless networks with this box? | 16:39 |
| bakarat | reisio, ah, it's on a desktop computer so not a problem | 16:39 |
| reisio | SilverWolfXIII: you don't usually :) | 16:39 |
| reisio | SilverWolfXIII: it's completely black? | 16:39 |
| reisio | SilverWolfXIII: you could install from the 'alternate' install image, possibly | 16:40 |
| reisio | which theoretically puts fewer demands on the gpu during install | 16:40 |
| SilverWolfXIII | yea all black | 16:40 |
| reisio | bakarat: you could try disabling networkmanager from starting at bootup, reboot and see if that helps | 16:40 |
| SilverWolfXIII | with a blinking cursor | 16:40 |
| bakarat | reisio, ye will do, thanks :) | 16:40 |
| Dr_Willis | !nomodeset | 16:40 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 16:40 |
| reisio | SilverWolfXIII: like a rectangle? | 16:40 |
| SilverWolfXIII | yea | 16:40 |
| reisio | doesn't sound like it got very far, then | 16:41 |
| SilverWolfXIII | ubottu: thanks | 16:41 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 16:41 |
| Dr_Willis | SilverWolfXIII: the nomodeset option is needed for some nvidia systems | 16:41 |
| bakarat | i don't know if the post has simply faded into the background or there is genuinly no advice, but could something look at my dual screen problem that emerged with 12.04? (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11979654) | 16:41 |
| SilverWolfXIII | no i saw the start of the boot and then it went to the black cursor screen | 16:41 |
| Dr_Willis | SilverWolfXIII: definatly try the nomodeset option | 16:41 |
| SilverWolfXIII | it gives me no options at this point it hasnt gone to the boot choice screen yet | 16:42 |
| SilverWolfXIII | this is happening as it loads the disk from boot | 16:42 |
| Dr_Willis | SilverWolfXIII: read the info at the nomodeset wiki page. it shows you how to use it. | 16:42 |
| Dr_Willis | you tell it to use nomodeset befor the main os boots | 16:42 |
| Luca | hmm I wouldnt have enough space on C: to resize anyway, can it also install and resize on a different partition? | 16:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Luca: you can install ubuntu on any partition. | 16:43 |
| SilverWolfXIII | this is happening as it boots to cd from bios screen | 16:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Luca: you could install to a external usb hd if you wnated. | 16:43 |
| Luca | that would be silly? the bootloader would be on the external hdd and required to boot either OS? | 16:44 |

| abkarch | hey guys? if i installed ubuntu along windows 7, does it install on the same partition? because i have two unlabed and unlettered partitions in my drive, that according to windows are empty. I just want to know if i can delete them | 16:48 |
| reisio | abkarch: if they don't have data on them that you want, you can delete them | 16:49 |
| stueng | did you use wubi ? abkarch ? | 16:49 |
| windbuntu | i am curious as to how ubuntu 12.04 boots up if it think my disk is not present. I am also curious why it thinks its not present. | 16:49 |
| stueng | windows cant see ext4 etc so they are not going to have letters etc | 16:49 |
| stueng | so I wouldnt delete them... | 16:50 |
| reisio | windbuntu: from the live image? | 16:50 |
| abkarch | stueng: no | 16:50 |
| Jancoover | .wik partition | 16:50 |
| windbuntu | no its installed to my HD as the stand alone OS reiso | 16:50 |
| windbuntu | i gave it the whole drive | 16:50 |
| stueng | abkarch, then no ubuntu would not be on the same partition as windows it will be somewhere else | 16:50 |
| windbuntu | except for a 1 gig swap | 16:50 |
| reisio | windbuntu: it must not be on the disk you think it's telling you isn't present | 16:50 |
| stueng | abkarch, go into ubuntu where you can see all the different partitions and mount them and figure out from ubuntu rather than windows what you can delete | 16:50 |
| windbuntu | i only have 1 HD reiso and this is not a dual boot | 16:51 |
| abkarch | http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/7194/capturenqe.png | 16:51 |
| reisio | windbuntu: what's it telling you, exactly? | 16:51 |
| windbuntu | its says the disk is not or or not present (ubuntu telling me this then boom it goes to desktop shortly after) | 16:52 |
| stueng | abkarch, you can probably delete the one marked as free space but not the others | 16:52 |
| stueng | do it form ubuntu, it will make more sense | 16:52 |
| abkarch | k | 16:52 |
| windbuntu | ill reboot and try to write it down but it only says it for a couple seconds BRB reiso | 16:52 |
| reisio | stueng: you can delete any that don't have data you want on them, except for the first two (far left) which you'll probably want | 16:52 |
| stueng | reisio, so where do you imagine his ubuntu installation is ? | 16:53 |
| abkarch | reisio, liol i think i want those :D but ima go to ubuntu to check just to be sure, wouldnt want to delete anything accidentally | 16:53 |
| reisio | stueng: I don't imagine it is anywhere | 16:53 |

| tbrown | Pici: How would you say that ass a command " gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list " | 16:55 |
| lelouch | if i upgrad my system from 11.10 to 12.04 i will lose data in hard drive ? | 16:56 |
| Pici | tbrown: yes. | 16:56 |
| asciicmdr | If you upgrade with upgrade manager, you will not loose anything. | 16:56 |
| lelouch | asciicmdr: just upgrad with update system | 16:57 |
| bakarat | *cough* dual screen issue *cough* (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11979654) | 16:57 |

| windbuntu | i guess it only does it sometimes, it didnt say it that time, but when it does say it, it says : "the dev/sda (soemthing like that) is not runiing or is not present" ...it says someting very similar to that, then it just moves on and i always boot to ubuntu desktop. | 16:58 |
| windbuntu | running* | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | bakarat: you could summarize the problem. ;) | 16:58 |

| jardineworks | non liferay but driving me nuts XSLT question if anyone is up for it | 16:58 |
| michael__ | Wingma[] | 16:59 |
| jardineworks | my client, who is an absolute asshole by the way, has the stupidest XML output I have ever seen that I am trying to transform. Like it's epic. Anyway, I select a node at the path /ADI/Metadata/AMS -- that works. This node has two asstributes, Asset_Class and Asset_ID ... | 17:00 |

| bakarat | Dr_Willis, i'll try :) basically i have had a dual screen setup since at least 9.04, but it is dead in 12.04 (using both free and proprietary drivers). the card is an nvidia 8600gts, with the opensource driver i get a "fuzzy" second screen where the resolution seems way out of wack (even though xrandr claims it's ok), with the proprietary driver i get a black secondary screen. (screenshots taken on the system with both drivers look like a funct | 17:00 |
| bakarat | ioning dual screen setup) | 17:00 |
| windbuntu | so there must be a moment in time when ubuntu cannot sence my HD then it catched up and moves on...just an observation. i have been using ubuntu here and there (basics only) since 8.04 and i have never seen that, just wondered. | 17:00 |
| tbrown | Pici: I had to install Sudo apt-get install gksu | 17:00 |
| jardineworks | now, my select I assume means I have the AMS node. Does anyone know how I reference the attributes of the node I have? | 17:00 |
| BobMarley | can somebody give me the link to the source code of the linux kernel that initializes the BSP and the AP? | 17:00 |
| bakarat | Dr_Willis, i have tried using the screen on another pc or as standalone and it works great, so it's not a hardware problem (it hink) | 17:00 |
| bakarat | (the xrandr output is posted in the link if necessary) | 17:01 |
| wwd | guys i am trying to test read speed from my system.. i was thinking rsync'ing large files to /dev/null but rysnc says i can't use more than one file to a non-directory…. how would you test read speed on your system? | 17:02 |
| ActionParsnip | wwd: sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda | 17:02 |
| ethek | using unity/ nautilus is there a way for the Move To feature in the right click menu to be customized... ie include Documents , Music and Pictures Folders | 17:02 |
| Dr_Willis | bakarat: what kind of monitor? | 17:02 |
| tbrown | Am getting a Warning when I type in Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open diskplay: While typing in gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 17:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ethek: you can use nautilus-scripts | 17:03 |
| ethek | hmm | 17:03 |
| Dr_Willis | tbrown: you logged into X as a user? | 17:03 |
| ActionParsnip | tbrown: are you connected via SSH? | 17:03 |
| wwd | ActionParsnip: cool, will look into it | 17:03 |
| bakarat | Dr_Willis, it's a packard bell but i can't quite remember which version. I'd have to plug it in to check | 17:03 |
| bakarat | Dr_Willis, i'll plug it in and hope x doesn't crash (it can become quite unstable with the free driver) | 17:04 |
| tbrown | Dr_Willis: ActionParsnip: Do you mean as root or something. And I dont know what ssh is? | 17:04 |
| Dr_Willis | bakarat: so its a old CRT? | 17:04 |
| Dr_Willis | tbrown: how did you login>? | 17:04 |
| bakarat | Dr_Willis, no regular flat screen through HDMI (the other screen is using DVI)- | 17:04 |
| ActionParsnip | tbrown: are you sat and logged in to the same system as you are running the commands on? | 17:05 |
| ActionParsnip | tbrown: nothing to do with root here:) | 17:05 |
| Dr_Willis | bakarat: ive seen some nvidia sysems requier both monitors plugged in when the system boots up | 17:05 |
| bakarat | Dr_Willis, i could give it another shot but i've reboot multiple times while fiddling with both free and nvidia drivers (with both screens plugged in) | 17:05 |
| bakarat | didn't seem to make much of a difference | 17:05 |
| bakarat | Dr_Willis, the second screen is identified as PKB 24" if that helps... | 17:06 |
| tbrown | Dr_Willis: when I started my system it said type in your user name and password so I did and I got login. And then I type in sudo su and type in the root password to make it root so??? | 17:06 |
| bakarat | Dr_Willis, btw, i know that "fuzzy" is rather vague, but basically the letters are semi-bolded, slightly distorted, border thickness ranges from 0 to 2 pixels instead of a steady 1 pixel etc | 17:07 |
| ActionParsnip | tbrown: there is no root password, using sudo su uses YOUR password, not roots | 17:07 |
| tbrown | ActionParsnip: I dont know what you meen while login to the same system I have one system and am login as one user I think it is the administrator user what ever I did on the setup installion:) | 17:07 |
| Pici | tbrown: This is a server install? | 17:07 |
| bakarat | Dr_Willis, also interestingly, the screen actually complains that it is not running in the "optimal resolution" which is 1920x1080 (though xrandr says it is) | 17:07 |
| windbuntu | "Disk Drive / not ready yet or not available" | 17:07 |
| windbuntu | and options to wait,skip or manually recover---thats what it says reiso! | 17:07 |
| tbrown | Pici: No it was a miniamle iso 12MB of 8.04? | 17:08 |
| Pici | tbrown: Fine, no graphical environment then. | 17:08 |
| tbrown | no | 17:08 |
| ActionParsnip | tbrown: thats why then, you have no gui to use gksudo with. | 17:09 |
| Pici | tbrown: Then you can't use a graphical editor like gedit, just use nano or vim or whatever you like to modify your sources.list. sudo alone will work with those. | 17:09 |
| === ForSpareParts2 is now known as ForSpareParts | ||
| Dr_Willis | tbrown: dont use sudo su. use sudo -s as needed for a root shell. | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | tbrown: and theres no need to use sudo -s for a simple editing of a file | 17:09 |
| ActionParsnip | tbrown: I'd suggest considering a newer release | 17:09 |
| unRar | Hi | 17:09 |
| ActionParsnip | hi unRar | 17:09 |
| tbrown | Pici: what is the command for nano is it sudo nano /etc/ what ever the source is:) | 17:10 |

| candery | hello, new to the linux community, just installed 12.04, i have multiple machines running in the house aswell, just curious on what uses could i put to my linux box, and possibly any tips on my future linux journey :) | 17:11 |
| unperson | I googled it but what I found seemed way too convoluted (involving gconf, etc.). I have to believe that there's some easier way. | 17:11 |
| unperson | candery, Welcome. Honestly, there are so many uses they can be put to it's a hard question to answer. | 17:12 |
| reisio | candery: take your pick | 17:12 |
| ActionParsnip | candery: you could use apt-cache to setup a local repo to speed up updates as well as speed up updates locally :) | 17:12 |
| reisio | candery: give it a bluetooth/wireless connection, hook it up to speakers and have it greet you when you walk in the door | 17:13 |
| === ForSpareParts2 is now known as ForSpareParts | ||
| Dr_Willis | candery: if you have several ubuntu bxs you may want to set one up as a apt-cacher server to save on download bandwith. | 17:13 |
| unperson | candery, You can use a linux machine as a DVR (using e.g. myth TV), you can run a web server, you can...well, do almost anything. | 17:13 |
| Squarism | is there any way to free physical mem other than killing processes? | 17:14 |
| ksbalaji | Please help with mount problem. Unable to run any of system applications. | 17:14 |
| Dr_Willis | except watch netflix.... ;P | 17:14 |
| bakarat | Dr_Willis, do you have any other suggestion? otherwise i'll try rebooting again with both drivers (thanks for your help btw) | 17:14 |
| candery | wow so many options! lol | 17:14 |
| reisio | you could watch netflix, but it's not simple or cheap | 17:14 |
| ksbalaji | Cannot run synaptic, apt-get etc. | 17:15 |
| reisio | plenty of netflix alternatives that are, though | 17:15 |
| Dr_Willis | bakarat: other day guy was fighting with nvidia dual monitors.. he swaped them.. and they started working. :) go figure. I never have had any issued with dual moniutors | 17:15 |
| reisio | you can definitely finesse nvidia-settings | 17:16 |
| reisio | but you can also use it as designed :p | 17:16 |
| bakarat | Dr_Willis, me neither until 12.04. i read that the "old" nvidia driver no longer works with the new xorg (or something) and the new nvidia driver does not support older models, 8xxx should still be supported though. i would switch the monitors but only one of them has a hdmi input :( | 17:17 |
| ksbalaji | My top panel shows application -no dropdown menu. Places - ok. System = only help and support, about Gnome and about Ubuntu. | 17:17 |
| Dr_Willis | bakarat: not really tried it on any older machines. so cant really say | 17:17 |
| bakarat | these days, is nvidia or amd a better investment (for work/dual monitor etc, not for gaming)? | 17:17 |
| bakarat | ati* | 17:17 |
| Dr_Willis | id avoid ati | 17:17 |
| Dr_Willis | intel can work well for normal work. ;0 | 17:18 |
| bakarat | this may sound stupid but can you actually buy standalone intel cards? or is it all built in? | 17:18 |
| candery | is there anything i can do to use my linux box to add security to my other machines? | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | bakarat: nonot seen any stand alone intel. there was rumors of them a year or so ago.. but never seen any | 17:18 |
| bakarat | candery, you could set it up as a firewall...if you're adventurous enough | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | candery: most likely - not needed :) | 17:19 |
| intok | Anyone know why DeVeDe will transcode anything I like even 1920x1080 H.264 video to MPEG2 or Divx MPEG4 just fine, but both Artista and Transmagedon crash trying to transcode anything? | 17:19 |
| candery | bakarat:, Dr_Willis : my other machines are windows, but okay hehe | 17:19 |
| Dr_Willis | intok: how about winff? | 17:19 |
| bakarat | candery, doesn't matter what the other machines run in the firewall setup | 17:19 |
| intok | Dr_Willis never heard of it | 17:20 |

| === zoltan is now known as unrar | ||
| bakarat | Dr_Willis, can't imagine it'll be easy to find a mobo (with built-in intel) that still works for my old pc | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | wonder what tools devede use. | 17:20 |
| bakarat | candery, depends how you set it up, you could likely still use it as a regular machine | 17:21 |
| bakarat | candery, but i think setting it up as a firewall is overkill, your router should be good enough | 17:21 |
| bakarat | for regular home use anyway | 17:21 |

| bakarat | candery, perhaps the best thing for the server is something like a file server, use samba to share with windows pcs | 17:23 |
| gabriel_ | do you know how to install lexmark z617 on xubuntu? | 17:23 |
| bakarat | candery, it's nice to be able to stream a movie from anywhere in your house whether it be on your main media center, laptop or cellphone (in my experience anyway :)) | 17:23 |
| asciicmdr | tbrown: chase it with a redbull. | 17:23 |
| candery | bakarat: hmm that sounds interesting. | 17:24 |

| bakarat | ksbalaji, like gnome 2 you mean? | 17:28 |
| MonkeyDust | !notunity| ksbalaji | 17:28 |
| ubottu | ksbalaji: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 17:28 |

| Bulletrulz | lol xD\ | 17:42 |

| Jordan_U | MaynardWaters: What filesystem is the partition on the USB drive? | 17:43 |
| Bulletrulz | it does not open ? | 17:43 |
| reisio | Bulletrulz: try running it from a terminal | 17:43 |
| Bulletrulz | resio how? | 17:43 |
| Jordan_U | MaynardWaters: Also note that a "persistant" LiveUSB is not the same as a real install, and among other things can't be upgraded properly. If you have the space available I would recommend doing a normal install to the USB if you plan to use it as a normal system. | 17:44 |
| reisio | Bulletrulz: CTRL+ALT+t | 17:44 |
| reisio | Bulletrulz: then type 'minecraft' and hit enter | 17:44 |

| reisio | tbrown: install lxterminal from universe | 17:47 |

| j_elly | i dont know, installed ubuntu after win7 has been already on partition and grub did very well in writing bootconfig for ubuntu and win so why i should not work with win 8 if you do like it has been said befor - installing grub after win 8 | 18:30 |

| bolosaur | To give you guys an idea of what I'm trying to do, I'm trying to fix a mouse cursor error when opening DOSbox. This can be done by running a shell script | 18:56 |
| ubuntu_64bit | Guest53670, via skype so that i will be showing you you how the problem look like | 18:56 |
| bolosaur | so i want to be able to execute this script, and then automatically dosbox | 18:56 |
| Praxi | hmm does gotomeeting not work on firefox/chromium on ubuntu or do I have something else going on? | 18:56 |
| root__ | Is it possible to encrypt an ext4 partition with lots of data on it already? | 18:56 |
| bolosaur | however, if i make the script "executable", it just opens dosbox without reading the line that fixes the cursor problem | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | bolosaur: then add dosbox to the bottom of the script.... | 18:56 |
| bolosaur | ActionParsnip: I did. | 18:56 |
| Guest53670 | first i cant how's the chat goes on? | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | bolosaur: can you pastebin the script please | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest53670: that's not english | 18:57 |
| bolosaur | the script now literally reads 1) #!/bin/sh 2) export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0 3) dosbox | 18:57 |
| bolosaur | Where 1), 2) and 3) are the lines. | 18:57 |
| ubuntu_64bit | Guest53670, are u new to this | 18:58 |
| bolosaur | If I run the script with "bash scriptname.sh", it works. If I make the script executable and try to run it by double-clicking on it, it opens dosbox but ignores line #2 | 18:58 |
| Guest53670 | yes | 18:58 |

| bolosaur | And that's what I originally had. | 19:02 |
| Guest53670 | pseudo on skype | 19:02 |
| ActionParsnip | bolosaur: you could, the script will mean it only applies to the script running | 19:02 |
| escott | bolosaur, what is dosbox? is it a gui? | 19:02 |
| j_elly | emulator for running dos games | 19:03 |

| ActionParsnip | escott: indeed, its an X app | 19:03 |
| ubuntu_64bit | Guest53670, make a call | 19:03 |
| escott | ActionParsnip, i wonder if he would be missing a $DISPLAY variable? | 19:03 |
| bolosaur | escott: It's a DOS emulator. | 19:03 |
| delac | bolosaur: does the script work if you run it (from terminal) with sh filename.sh or ./filename.sh ? | 19:04 |
| ubuntu_64bit | Guest53670, are u there | 19:04 |
| tabularasa | wlx.ini... anyone? | 19:04 |
| bolosaur | OK guys let me brief you. The script I found on that page ( http://lovehateubuntu.blogspot.co.uk/2008/04/dosbox-on-ubuntu.html ) works if I run it from within an already open terminal by using "bash dosbox.sh". If I try to execute it however from within Ubuntu however, it does open DOSbox, but the mouse cursor problem still remains, meaning that the script has failed to read line #2 which is what | 19:04 |
| bolosaur | fixes the cursor in the first case. | 19:04 |
| bolosaur | If I try to run it as an executable from within Ubuntu's desktop environment however* | 19:05 |
| bolosaur | delac: Yes it does. | 19:05 |
| bolosaur | Just as if I did "bash filename.sh" | 19:06 |
| ubuntu_64bit | Guest53670, are u there man | 19:06 |
| bolosaur | But again, if I try to run it by double-clicking it it won't fix my cursor problem. | 19:06 |
| delac | bolosaur: when you ran it from desktop, did you choose "run" or "run in terminal"? | 19:06 |
| bolosaur | delac: I've tried both - neither works. | 19:06 |
| ubuntu_64bit | Guest53670, come on | 19:07 |
| escott | bolosaur, you could try not exporting the variable and instead prefixing the execution: on one line "WHATEVER=0 dosbox" | 19:07 |
| WarOfTheNerd | hey guys, is there a package which auto builds NVIDIA kernel modules for kernels on boot? | 19:07 |
| WarOfTheNerd | I plan to patch the Ubuntu kernel to have SKAS3 support for User Mode Linux (if possible) | 19:07 |
| bolosaur | Ok, I realized that this is not an Ubuntu problem. | 19:08 |
| ActionParsnip | WarOfTheNerd: you could make a dkms script for it | 19:08 |
| bolosaur | Apparently, MOVING the cursor while launching dosbox fixes the cursor problem | 19:08 |
| bolosaur | while letting it be still causes it to occur | 19:08 |
| bolosaur | I must simply have done different mouse movements when doing differnet types of testing | 19:08 |

| bolosaur | If I create a link to my script | 19:11 |

| bolosaur | but if i run it within the same location as dosbox | 19:11 |
| bolosaur | then it works | 19:11 |
| bolosaur | ugh im sick of this :/ | 19:11 |
| j_elly | so what are you using dosbox for? monkey island? | 19:12 |
| escott | rolandb, a few hundred megs will fill up every 6 months or so with kernels and then you have to remove the old ones | 19:12 |

| tuxgeek | get the gnome shell | 20:07 |
| eFfeM | hi, I've installed 12.04 on ssd, I normally keep firefox open, so on boot it starts automatically with the tabs I had when shutting down, but with the ssd firefix starts before the network is up, what can I do to add a little delay ? | 20:08 |
| tuxgeek | eutheria: i think it's much better | 20:08 |
| eutheria | tuxgeek, unity is much much better than 11.10 | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | eFfeM: use the sleep command to add a small pause | 20:08 |
| eutheria | in fact i've left cinnamon | 20:08 |
| tuxgeek | 11.10? | 20:08 |
| eutheria | tuxgeek, the last version of ubuntu? | 20:09 |
| eFfeM | ActionParsnip: figured that but no idea where it stores the commands that are autolaunched | 20:09 |
| tuxgeek | are you running ubuntu 11.10? | 20:09 |
| OerHeks | thnx ActionParsnip , i see a gap eth0: no IPv6 routers present | 20:09 |
| OerHeks | 9 seconds | 20:09 |
| eutheria | tuxgeek, no unity is much better now than in 11.10 | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | eFfeM: in the desktop files in ~/.config/autostart or use the startup application in dash | 20:09 |
| tuxgeek | ok | 20:10 |
| tuxgeek | have you tried gnome shell? | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | OerHeks: you can disable ipv6 with the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 | 20:10 |

| tuxgeek | eutheria: yeah! | 20:12 |
| tuxgeek | why? | 20:12 |
| eutheria | tuxgeek, well i am confused why you don't understand me | 20:12 |
| eutheria | tuxgeek, unity is much better now than it was in 11.10 | 20:13 |
| tuxgeek | i think i do | 20:13 |
| tuxgeek | i got that already...:) | 20:13 |

| tuxgeek | ok | 20:13 |
| tuxgeek | ubuntu software center | 20:13 |

| tuxgeek | shoot | 20:17 |
| pxl | I'm having some issues installing 12.04 on my mac. | 20:17 |
| pxl | I've got it on a USB stick and manage to get it running from it two times. | 20:18 |
| mofacta | Is it possible to install 12.04 with bootcamp? | 20:18 |
| motherbrain | I am trying to log on to the android forum and other forums but I cann't I have read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration | 20:18 |
| pxl | I then decided to install it alongside mac os x but realized I needed to do some partitioning. | 20:18 |
| tuxgeek | ok | 20:18 |
| tuxgeek | so? | 20:18 |
| pxl | So, I boot up Lion, partition and and setup. | 20:18 |
| mofacta | mac disk utility can do that for you no problem | 20:18 |
| pxl | Try to boot into ubuntu from USb and.. | 20:19 |
| pxl | BAM | 20:19 |
| pxl | No deal. | 20:19 |
| motherbrain | but when I issue /msg ,..etc it just pops me out like I was starting another group | 20:19 |
| pxl | It just wont boot. | 20:19 |
| pxl | Some text regarding the EFI flickers past for a tenth of a second and the screen goes black. | 20:19 |
| pxl | Fans rev up, but nothing more. | 20:19 |
| tuxgeek | is your mac set to boot from usb? | 20:19 |
| zykotick9 | pxl: some macs won't boot gnu/linux from usb... something to keep in mind | 20:19 |
| pxl | Keep in mind I booted Ubuntu from USB twice before. | 20:20 |
| pxl | This all happened the same day. | 20:20 |
| pxl | I realize I should probably burn a cd and try that, but now I'm way too annoyed to let this go. | 20:21 |
| pxl | HOw can I boot from a USB drive twice and thena bit later not at all? | 20:21 |
| tuxgeek | are you sure the usd isn't corrupt | 20:21 |

| mofacta | Am I right? | 20:23 |
| pxl | Precisely. | 20:23 |

| Fishscene | Theseus: filezilla? | 20:25 |
| Fishscene | I'm a bit confused by what you mean with "graphical FTP server" | 20:25 |
| mofacta | pxl: that link might help. Dunno. | 20:25 |
| WarOfTheNerd | FishFace, he means a server with a GUI method of configuring it | 20:25 |
| skarufue | hi. anyone here know their way around exim4 and DKIM? | 20:26 |
| theseus | yeah, filezilla only has a graphical interface for client but not linux server side | 20:26 |
| WarOfTheNerd | theseus, why do you need a graphical server config app by the way? | 20:27 |
| pxl | mofacta: I've read about rEFIt and was kind of hoping I wouldn't have to install anything messing with the EFI. Seeing as I managed to boot into Ubuntu from the stick before I was kind of hoping I just missed something essential this time around. | 20:27 |
| Fishscene | I'm afraid I've not heard of a GUI ftp server for Linux. I usually use VSFTP as that requires very little configuration and works with the Linux permissions out of the box. | 20:27 |
| WarOfTheNerd | theseus, editing config files is actually easier... | 20:27 |
| Yago | hello | 20:27 |
| Yago | I have a questions pertaining to uninstalling my ubuntu dual boot | 20:27 |
| mofacta | well with this type of thing you're going to have to do a little hacking to get it to work right | 20:27 |
| tuxgeek | hello Yago! | 20:27 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Yago, what are the questions? =] | 20:28 |
| theseus | no reason, just wanted to know if one existed. WebAdmin uses a web interface but only handles the SSH perspective and not the actual folder sharing | 20:28 |
| sloucher | :pxl - I think you should be ok. Do you know to hit the "option" key when you boot | 20:28 |
| Yago | How can I remove my ubuntu dual boot without my Win Xp reinstallation CD? | 20:28 |
| MonkeyDust | Yago delete the ubuntu partition, use gparted | 20:28 |
| mofacta | MonkeyDust: You beat me to it! | 20:29 |
| Yago | MonkeyDust: is there guide somewhere? Im fairly new to this and don't wanna destory my computer :) | 20:29 |
| mofacta | Or you can use Partition Wizard. It's so straight forward. | 20:29 |
| pxl | sloucher: As I said, I've booted up Ubuntu from the USB stick twice before. Using that very method, holding option(alt) to choose my boot disk | 20:29 |
| skarufue | when i send mails they get a DKIM signature but verification says neutral (Bad Format) more info here: http://pastebin.com/as9Pj6vz | 20:29 |
| pxl | Somehow, it doesn't work anymore. | 20:29 |
| MonkeyDust | Yago boot from a ubuntu live cd or usb, run gparted, delete the ubuntu partition | 20:29 |
| Yago | MonkeyDust: will i be able to boot back into Windows? | 20:30 |
| MonkeyDust | Yago yes | 20:30 |
| tuxgeek | Yago: ofcourse | 20:30 |
| Yago | thank-you | 20:30 |
| Yago | Ill stay around and let you know how everything goes | 20:30 |
| sloucher | pxl so install ubuntu on the dos partition and ? you should be ready to go? | 20:30 |
| mofacta | Yago: Download partition wizard home edition (free). Make boot media disk. Boot into Partition Wizard from CD. Delete Ubuntu partition. Resize Windows partition as needed. Apply. Done. | 20:31 |
| * MonkeyDust hands mofacta a beer | 20:31 | |
| mofacta | gparted has a rougher interface that you may have a harder time with if you're new to this. | 20:31 |
| pxl | sloucher: the problem is that I can't boot into the USB anymore, I'll paste my previous description of the problem: "Some text regarding the EFI flickers past for a tenth of a second and the screen goes black." | 20:31 |

| saliak | I'm trying to get emails from a remote server via fetch mail, and deliver them to a local script (via procmail). i've created an entry in my /etc/aliases file that reads as "foo : /usr/bin/script.sh". my mda line in fetch mail is mda "proemial -d foo". when it runs, however, it can't find the user foo. any ideas what's wrong? | 20:37 |

| EdgEy | Hello guys. I've just bought a USB camera, it takes micro SD card and has a USB port so that it can be used for 'mass storage mode' too. | 20:49 |
| Siivrenion | Having a little problem. It seems as if applications are not showing up in the dash for some reason? I don't think I changed anything (or don't know what changed). I have 11.04 | 20:49 |
| EdgEy | I know that the camera is working because if I use a micro SD reader, I can view photos, videos, etc. | 20:49 |
| escott | saliak, so you have |/usr/bin/script.sh where that script reads from stdin and dumps to the correct mailbox? | 20:49 |
| EdgEy | But if I connect via USB, it doesn't appear as a mountable drive, nor does anything appear in 'lsusb' | 20:49 |
| designbybeck | So I'm working on some online videos... Where this video might play in Quicktime or would play from within the webpage... On Ubuntu it is trying to play in Totem Movie Player? but it isn't working | 20:49 |
| saliak | escott: yeah. the problem i'm having is that proemial says the user can't be found. | 20:49 |
| EdgEy | Are there any error logs I can check somewhere? | 20:49 |
| krababbel | EdgEy: you probably need to switcht its usb mode to mass storage, if actually possible | 20:50 |
| Siivrenion | EdgEy, many cameras have to be turned on or switched to mass media mode before they will try to associate. does the screen of the camera say it's on that? | 20:50 |
| escott | saliak, did you restart the procmail service? | 20:50 |
| OerHeks | EdgEy, did you put it on, after instering the usb cable? | 20:50 |
| designbybeck | ANy ideas? I have bot ha MOV and a hinted MP4 | 20:50 |
| krababbel | EdgEy: there are cameras without mass storage mode, only ptp mode | 20:50 |
| Siivrenion | Anyone know how I can adjust what types of things the dash searches for, and why no applciations would be appearing? | 20:50 |
| EdgEy | well, the design of the camera is such that it should just act as a usb drive - it is very basic and cheap | 20:50 |
| EdgEy | no screen, etc | 20:50 |
| krababbel | EdgEy: i think dmesg logs should tell, if linux sees any device being connected | 20:51 |
| EdgEy | mass storage mode is advertised, it's possible that the thing is just broken, I am wondering if there is some way for me to check if the system has any idea it exists other than lsusb | 20:51 |
| EdgEy | thanks krababbel | 20:51 |
| saliak | escott: hrm. i thought procmail was an mda and wasn't really a service | 20:51 |
| klj613 | on "Printers" (network) it detected my printer (came up twice), tried to use "print test page" on both and on one it goes to the 'job list' but gets stuck on 'processing'. it says the ip address is 'localhost' which is wrong and cant seem to change it | 20:51 |
| krababbel | EdgEy: np, btw, I have an old nikon compact digital, which just ceased to work over usb after a few months | 20:52 |
| escott | saliak, its not something i use. i just noticed that you didnt have a | so what you had didnt make much sense | 20:52 |
| krababbel | same issue | 20:52 |
| EdgEy | krababbel well I have a point and shoot camera for normal use | 20:52 |
| designbybeck | i pulled it up on a mac and they both play as expected | 20:52 |
| EdgEy | this one is a sort of cheapy eBay 'spy cam' for my motorbike helmet, i suspect it might just be dysfunctional :P | 20:52 |
| krababbel | EdgEy: i don't know, i guess so, my nikon did the exact same thing | 20:53 |
| saliak | escott: i see. hrm. so, no. i'm wondering if i even need procmail. in this application, does the same thing get passed to my script if it's in aliases or the mda? | 20:53 |
| EdgEy | dmesg log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1018583/ | 20:53 |
| EdgEy | it charges over usb and I've tried a few different cables | 20:54 |
| escott | saliak, i dont know | 20:54 |
| escott | saliak, i would imagine that procmail speaks some network protocol | 20:54 |
| Optichip | wow Linus didn't take his meds this morning or something | 20:54 |
| designbybeck | EdgEy: I just read a few things you posted... Shot in the dark.. what about using something like Cheese or Kdenlive... and see if say Kdenlive sees it as a camera source? | 20:55 |
| designbybeck | lol I saw that Optichip ;) | 20:55 |
| designbybeck | Linus we was going on and on! | 20:55 |
| designbybeck | I was like someone help the boy quick! | 20:55 |
| Optichip | designbybeck: and his last paragraph Oh my.. | 20:55 |
| EdgEy | designbybeck: yeah, I'm going to try cheese, it does have a webcam mode, perhaps it's stuck in that | 20:55 |
| EdgEy | the device itself is extremely minimal, there are three buttons: on, record/stop, mode :P | 20:56 |
| Xix19 | what's the 'default' ubuntu folder for git repositories? | 20:56 |
| Siivrenion | nevermind, I found a solution online | 20:56 |
| Xix19 | where should I put them? | 20:56 |
| escott | Xix19, wherever you want | 20:57 |
| Optichip | Xix19: usually in the terminal whatever directory you're in. | 20:57 |
| Optichip | Xix19: I would recommend you create a software folder or something and manage them all inside of that. | 20:57 |
| Xix19 | I know I can put it anywhere I want... I was just wondering if there was a best practice of some kind | 20:57 |
| Xix19 | maybe create "myrepository" in the /opt folder? | 20:58 |

| argief | mads: note to self, thanx | 22:14 |
| skarufue | mads: oh you are looking for a rate limit. not a firewall... sorry | 22:14 |
| mads | Thanks :) | 22:14 |
| argief | mads: you could try do it with iptables? I am thinking u can make buckets, then ensure all your incomming does come in? | 22:15 |
| mads | Dont need a firewall here, within the time someone would try to access my system they would die of boredom | 22:15 |
| krababbel | mads: It won't work per app, but usually you can use iptables or a router to check for port number or destination addresses | 22:15 |
| krababbel | that's the qos | 22:15 |
| skarufue | mads: the technology for a per protocol bandwith control is called QOS | 22:16 |
| argief | mads: read this: http://linuxgazette.net/108/odonovan.html | 22:16 |
| Fishscene | mads: You should always have some kind of firewall. Bots regularly crawl the internet looking for people with vulnerabilities and then take advantage of them. | 22:16 |
| mads | thanks alot | 22:16 |

| Chrian | I have a question if I plan on installing ubuntu on my dell inspiron e1705 laptop does the wireless card still work ? or would that take some tweaking? | 22:17 |
| ikonia | what model wireless card is in it? | 22:17 |
| escott | Chrian, use the livecd | 22:17 |
| mads | I did that chrian and im here | 22:17 |
| Chrian | ah kk yea it's an old laptop so the new version will just auto detect everything now? | 22:18 |
| ikonia | Chrian: depends on the card | 22:18 |
| ikonia | Chrian: check the cards supported status | 22:18 |
| Chrian | lemme check | 22:18 |
| delac | Chrian: test it with usb or live cd | 22:18 |
| delac | Chrian: before you install, that is | 22:18 |
| argief | mads: i'm thinking some creativity with point 3 and 6. you can limit the number of outgoing/incomming bytes within a certain time frame. | 22:19 |
| Chrian | thanks for the advice gonna test it out now | 22:19 |
| mads | Psyshaper is the tool i was looking for | 22:20 |
| skarufue | mads: http://www.mastershaper.org/index.php/Main_Page this might also intres you | 22:20 |
| mads | Thanks for all the help | 22:20 |
| Chrian | now another question is does schtack blueburst run fine in ubuntu? | 22:21 |
| skarufue | Chrian: just try it out with the liveCD | 22:21 |
| ikonia | Chrian: what is that ? | 22:21 |
| Chrian | Phantasy star online blue burst schtack private server | 22:22 |
| ikonia | Chrian: does it have a linux port ? | 22:22 |
| Fishscene | Chrian: I've never tried. | 22:22 |
| MirkoKa | Chrian: probably not: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10477 | 22:23 |
| Chrian | I recall reading that theres a program that can run some windows games in unbuntu? whats it called | 22:23 |
| MirkoKa | Chrian: Wine | 22:23 |
| ikonia | Chrian: I would not depend on wine | 22:23 |
| Chrian | oh | 22:23 |
| Fishscene | Chrian: WINE, but to be honest, it's kind of an ugly "hack" | 22:23 |
| ikonia | Chrian: if you need to run windows programs, use windows | 22:23 |
| Chrian | oh ok | 22:23 |
| Fishscene | Chrian: Do you know broomop? | 22:24 |
| Chrian | no | 22:24 |
| skarufue | Chrian: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10477&iTestingId=24865 doesnt look too good for shtack | 22:24 |
| mads | You do also have Crossover which is an WINE extension, you could look up their libary to see if they have a solution for that program. | 22:24 |
| Fishscene | Ok. He runs one of the better servers for that. | 22:24 |
| Chrian | man you all are so helpful it's interesting though your google fu is strong | 22:25 |
| kosko | what is the prefered way to add a bin dir to the PATH | 22:26 |
| kosko | ? | 22:26 |
| MirkoKa | Chrian: while I agree that one (especially a newbie) shouldn't count too much ( if any at all) on Wine. There are Games with work really great with it (with more or less tinkering) | 22:26 |
| ikonia | PATH=$PATH:/new/path/bin | 22:26 |
| ikonia | Chrian: I would not consider wine for anything as a solution | 22:26 |
| mads | http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=3527 | 22:27 |
| kosko | ikonia: which file> | 22:27 |
| ikonia | no matter your skill set | 22:27 |
| kosko | ikonia: bashrc? | 22:27 |
| mads | the game doesnt work chrian. | 22:27 |
| ikonia | kosko: just in the terminal | 22:27 |
| Chrian | ah | 22:27 |
| mads | For now | 22:27 |
| kosko | ikonia: to make it permanent? | 22:27 |
| skarufue | kosko: if you only need it for one user add it to their .bashrc like so PATH="$PATH your/additional/path" | 22:27 |
| kosko | ikonia: .bashrc would do but | 22:27 |
| ikonia | kosko: put it in whatever your shell config file is | 22:27 |
| ikonia | kosko: then put it in there | 22:27 |
| kosko | ok | 22:27 |
| skarufue | kosko: oh forget no whitespace but: | 22:27 |
| ikonia | kosko: the command is PATH=$PATH:/your/new/bin | 22:28 |
| kosko | let it be the prefered ubuntu way | 22:28 |
| kosko | :) | 22:28 |
| Chrian | well darn if only I knew how to make it work haha | 22:28 |
| Chrian | thanks for the input | 22:28 |
| kosko | ikonia: thanks | 22:28 |
| ikonia | Chrian: use windows and it will work fine | 22:28 |
| kosko | skarufue: thanks | 22:28 |
| SomeOneLikeYou | i'm looking for a website hosting panel integrated with ubuntu or with a nice trusted repository. Wich one is a goog one? | 22:29 |
| mads | Well i guess there isnt that much effort put into it, you just have to figgure out what windows sources the game requires to run and puzzle it into a viritual windows. | 22:29 |
| Dext3r | !list | 22:29 |
| ubottu | Dext3r: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 22:29 |
| Dext3r | !alis | 22:29 |
| ubottu | alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 22:29 |
| skarufue | kosko: please be aware that my first example was wrong. you should put this: PATH="$PATH:/your/new/bin" into your .bashrc like ikonia said. | 22:29 |
| ikonia | do not use the " | 22:30 |
| ikonia | PATH=$PATH:/usr/new/bin | 22:30 |
| Chrian | I see mads thanks, Though I'm guessing a goal for ubuntu is getting as many games to run as possible or would that be a bad thing? | 22:30 |
| ikonia | ubunbtu is not in control of games | 22:30 |
| ikonia | games developers are | 22:30 |
| skarufue | ikonia: why not? its a string string can be in "" | 22:31 |
| Jordan_U | ikonia: Quotation there is fine, and while not needed here I (and #bash)generally encourage quoting whenever variable expansion is involved. | 22:31 |
| mads | Native highend games runs excellent even better on linux systems. Try Hon for example | 22:31 |
| ikonia | legacy compatatabiity, but put them if you want | 22:31 |
| mads | Eve runs flawlessly, eq2 skyrim counterstrike | 22:32 |
| mads | those last mentioned are ports | 22:32 |
| ikonia | I don't find them running any better/worse on linux than windows or mac | 22:32 |
| aszurom | Every time I try to convert to Linux, I fall over a showstopper hardware issue. Today, it's wifi. HP Elitebook vs Netgear N router. Just will NOT connect to the damn thing. Worked great at the office all day on my Apple Airport though | 22:32 |
| aszurom | anyone feel like sharing my pain? | 22:33 |
| ikonia | aszurom: no, not really | 22:33 |
| skarufue | aszurom: lspci -> chipset of wifi card -> google | 22:33 |
| ikonia | aszurom: if you're asking for help - then state what help you need | 22:33 |
| MirkoKa | @bashrc: NO! PATH settings go into .bash_profile not .bashrc. ;-) | 22:33 |
| ikonia | MirkoKa: bashrc is fine | 22:33 |
| steelbox | hi there! | 22:33 |
| mads | ikonia: I do have better results with Linux than i did when i was running 7 | 22:33 |
| steelbox | my flash plugin always crashes under firefox | 22:34 |
| skarufue | steelbox: more information | 22:34 |
| steelbox | I have ubuntu 10.04 | 22:35 |
| steelbox | firefox 12.0 | 22:35 |
| steelbox | flash plugin v11,2,202,235 installed | 22:35 |
| MirkoKa | ikonia: nope. bashrc is sources all the time. you end up with a path like "/bin;/usr/;bin/:/foo/bin:/foo/bin:/foo/bin:/foo/bin:/foo/bin" etc | 22:35 |
| steelbox | skarufue: can you help me please? | 22:36 |
| MirkoKa | ikonia: for subshels of course | 22:36 |
| ikonia | MirkoKa: I don't end up with that and I've just tried it | 22:36 |
| aszurom | skarufue - lspci is a good start. I couldn't remember the command, thanks. | 22:37 |
| skarufue | steelbox: is upgrading your ubuntu an option? we are currently in the 12.4 version. | 22:38 |
| steelbox | I would like to avoid this | 22:38 |
| Jordan_U | ikonia: Run "bash" again and check your $PATH. Every time you start a new bash shell (from another bash shell) your $PATH will grow. | 22:38 |
| ikonia | ahh, you mean it creates a loop | 22:39 |
| skarufue | steelbox: is the mozilla-plugin-gnash package available in 10.4? | 22:39 |
| aszurom | which is more fun... ddwrt or tomato? | 22:39 |
| steelbox | skarufue: I don't know, I can check | 22:39 |
| fslima0 | does this look legit? http://pastebin.com/KUWwkDYb | 22:40 |

| tbrown | Am having a little trouble adding a repository. Am typing the sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable Sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found | 22:42 |

| j0hn22 | hi, i use the latest ubuntu and and "recommended" proprietary nvidia driver and it crashes after some time. This happens only when i use composited desktop environments, cinamon, kde and gnome shell and when i use flash | 22:43 |
| trism | tbrown: add-apt-repository is in python-software-properties, however that ppa is discontinued | 22:43 |
| skarufue | tbrown: not entirely shure but you might need the package python-softwareproperties . | 22:43 |
| skarufue | tbrown: what trism said | 22:43 |
| xangua | tbrown: you do not need that ppa anymore, you will recieve latest stable firefox from official ubuntu repository | 22:43 |
| heaevnsmile | I want to make a feature proposal for the software center, but the module do not have any mailist, any idea what the best way is to make such a proposal? | 22:43 |

| h1ppo | hey guys, i have an optimus enabled video card but Ubuntu doesn't seem to recognise the nvidia card, just the intel 1 so unity looks a little crummy. I think it's down to this error in my Xorg.0.log: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) | 22:45 |
| h1ppo | any ideas? | 22:45 |
| jagginess | h1ppo, you mean graphic card.. (video card can confused people) | 22:46 |
| skarufue | heaevnsmile: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter | 22:46 |
| h1ppo | i guess, i wasn't sure there was a diff (I'm no expert in these matters :P) | 22:46 |
| tbrown | I was wondering if I type startlxde will that go back to the desktop experence or how can I go back in to it?? | 22:47 |
| heaevnsmile | skarufue: thanks | 22:47 |
| skarufue | h1ppo: these cards are a bit tricky. you could have a shot if you can disable the intel card in bios | 22:48 |
| SNow | HI guys , Iahve ext4 and "Directory index is Full" what can I do to remove this error? I did fsck - did not help. | 22:48 |
| h1ppo | id read somewhere u can't do that as the nvidia card wont work without the intel one? i could be wrong tho. | 22:48 |
| jagginess | SNow, try removing the journal ( http://fenidik.blogspot.ca/2010/03/ext4-disable-journal.html ) | 22:48 |
| heaevnsmile | http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com seams kind of abandoned | 22:49 |
| h1ppo | it used to work when i was running Linux Mint 11 but none of the new distros seem to work for me now | 22:49 |
| skarufue | h1ppo oh look what i googled up for you: http://linux-hybrid-graphics.blogspot.co.at/2011/08/ironhide-branch-first-release-including.html | 22:49 |
| OY1R | i just connected a packard bell meastro 220 led monitor to my laptop but im not getting any picture on the screen, running 10.04 and the monitor is identified in the "monitor preferences" and it's set to ON. anyone know what's going on ? | 22:49 |
| h1ppo | i think thats for launching individual apps with the nvidia card? recon that'll work for launching lightdm? | 22:50 |
| skarufue | h1ppo: oh look what i googled up for you: http://linux-hybrid-graphics.blogspot.co.at/2011/08/ironhide-branch-first-release-including.html | 22:50 |
| skarufue | h1ppo: jup | 22:50 |
| twig11 | Where does ubuntu store the default wallpaper selection? | 22:50 |
| h1ppo | ooo, shiny. thanks dude - i'll give it a bash | 22:51 |
| MonkeyDust | twig11 ~/.backgrounds | 22:51 |
| tbrown | is there a way that I can install a terminal gnome or something to get the terminal to work on the desktop??? | 22:52 |
| MonkeyDust | twig11 and /usr/share/backgrounds | 22:53 |
| OerHeks | tbrown hit " ctrl alt T " and there is your terminal | 22:53 |
| tbrown | OerHeks: Sorry there is no terminal:( | 22:54 |
| escott | twig11, the images are in /usr/share/wallpapers, the selected option is in gconf/dcond | 22:55 |
| OerHeks | tbrown terminal should be installed standard, why did you remove it? | 22:55 |
| twig11 | escott: Can you explain how to access that option? I think I've edited dconf once before sometime but I don't remember how. | 22:56 |
| fl1bbl3 | apt-get install gnome-terminal | 22:56 |
| escott | twig11, why not set the background throught the appearance tool | 22:56 |
| tbrown | OerHeks: I did not removie it buddy:) I installed LXDE and when I got into the desktop Experence the terminal Button does not work???? | 22:56 |
| plugwash | will using expert mode in the ubuntu alternate CD installer let me choose what I want to install? | 22:56 |
| twig11 | escott: I'm trying to find a way to make user-selected wallpapers show up as the unity-greeter background by default. | 22:57 |
| jagginess | plugwash, you mean the server iso? (it should allow you to do mdadm partitions) | 22:58 |
| plugwash | No I mean the alternate ISO | 22:58 |
| OerHeks | tbrown, if you install gnome-terminal in LXDE then it comes with a lot of packages, lxde uses LXterminal | 22:58 |
| escott | twig11, i think it does that with 12.04 | 22:58 |
| SNow | jagginess: did not help ... | 22:58 |
| plugwash | http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso | 22:59 |
| tbrown | OerHeks: Thanks:) | 22:59 |
| Jordan_U | plugwash: Yes. | 22:59 |
| escott | twig11, if you know how to disable that i would appreciate knowing how | 22:59 |
| jagginess | SNow, maybe it's a physical harddrive stalling.. you should check with dmesg | 22:59 |
| MirkoKa | tbrown: the default terminal on LXDE is the lxterminal, maybe you haven't installed it. if you have (and with the default settings) CTRL-ALT-t should work as expected | 22:59 |
| twig11 | escott: The only way I know to do this now is to manually drop the desired wallpaper into /usr/share/wallpapers, set permissions correctly, and then apply it as a desktop background. As far as I know, only the default selection of wallpapers will show in unity-greeter. | 22:59 |
| twig11 | escott: now you've got me second-guessing. Let me check | 23:00 |
| Darael | tbrown: Additional information: for a choice of terminals, try an "axi-cache search terminal" to see options. There will definitely be more than 20 results, but that is what "axi-cache more" is for. | 23:00 |
| Beta2K | Hello all | 23:02 |
| Beta2K | Anyone around tried running Minecraft on 12.04 with a ati video card? | 23:03 |
| MonkeyDust | Beta2K is that a windows game? | 23:04 |
| Beta2K | I've gotten it to load minecraft without crashing but as soon as it tries to show the splash screen it restart's unity | 23:04 |
| Beta2K | MonkeyDust: no, Java | 23:04 |
| Beta2K | It ran on 11.10 | 23:04 |
| Beta2K | I shouldn't say it loads without crashing since it takes X down :) | 23:05 |
| guest2010 | !aptlock | 23:06 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 23:06 |
| guest2010 | !apt-lock | 23:06 |
| twig11 | escott: I just selected a photo from ~/Pictures, gave others read/write permissions, set it as the wallpaper through the Appearance preference pane, and it doesn't show up on unity-greeter. Any of the bundled wallpapers do, but no others, UNLESS first dropped into /usr/share/wallpapers and their owner changed to root. | 23:06 |
| escott | twig11, thats certainly desirable. you dont want random peoples contents of $HOME being shown prior to their logging in | 23:07 |
| MirkoKa | Beta2K: just a guess, but might be a Sun Java vs. OpenJava issue. Maybe this helps:http://notes.ericjiang.com/posts/583 if not, you might need to install the sun-java stuff | 23:09 |
| Beta2K | I've gone the Sun java route, with OpenJDK the launcher couldn't even get the main game to load | 23:10 |
| twig11 | escott: I understand the drawbacks of that but if users WANT to show off their wallpapers, as several on this machine do, I would like to know how to set the behavior. It's not like it's random information either, since it's something that will show any time the user is actually logged in. Anyway, maybe I'll phrase this as a new question and see if I get any bites. | 23:11 |
| Beta2K | symlink a folder in ~/Pictures to the /usr one? | 23:12 |
| Beta2K | Or do they _have_ to be owned by root? | 23:12 |
| escott | twig11, obviously this wont work if they have an encrypted home | 23:12 |
| spicy32 | hi does somebody know a free web cam chat ? | 23:13 |
| Haumea | I'm having an issue with WINE | 23:14 |
| jagginess | spicy32, flastchat123 is probably the best thing I've seen out there (but it's proprietary), as for "client" only.. I don't see the point, there's red5 and similar free flash servers that people just use their webbrowsers to connect to.. | 23:14 |
| Beta2K | Haumea, details? :) | 23:14 |
| jagginess | spicy32, (flashchat123 is freely downloadable and can be used for non-commercial purposes-- is the server) | 23:15 |
| kosko | on my vps i see that working from a user is much slower that from root, is it all about nice numbers? | 23:16 |
| Beta2K | kosko, never seen that before.... | 23:17 |
| jagginess | Beta2K, ~ means /home/<yourusername> | 23:17 |
| jagginess | Beta2K, /usr is not ~ | 23:17 |
| MonkeyDust | kosko working from root is less secure | 23:17 |
| Beta2K | jagginess: I'm aware :) | 23:17 |
| jagginess | "<Beta2K> symlink a folder in ~/Pictures to the /usr one?" .. | 23:18 |
| Beta2K | jagginess: There was a path cited under /usr that I couldn't remember :) | 23:18 |
| jagginess | Beta2K, you don't symlink if you want something out of /usr, you can copy | 23:18 |
| Beta2K | jagginess: Look up at the OP's problem | 23:18 |
| kosko | can anyone convert this zsh to bash http://pastebin.com/dwQxANcA 3 lines only | 23:19 |
| Beta2K | jagginess: They were saying wallpapers in their ~/Pictures didn't show up at the unity login | 23:19 |
| kosko | Beta2K: i see | 23:19 |
| Beta2K | jagginess: So my thought was symlink to the wallpapers folder under /usr and then move pics you want there | 23:19 |
| Beta2K | Assuming they don't _have_ to be owned by root | 23:20 |
| jagginess | Beta2K, you'll have to reference documentation, but you don't symlink anything between ~ and /usr/<><>.. as for your problem, i don't know what you're trying to do.. | 23:20 |
| Beta2K | jagginess: NVM, it's not even my problem :) | 23:20 |
| Beta2K | Oh, and I'll symlink whatever I need wherever :) Best practices be damned | 23:21 |
| jagginess | well even if its not your problem.. symlinking like this isn't good.. because if one decides to do a backup symlinks can be ignored.. | 23:21 |
| === wylde_ is now known as wylde | ||
| twig11 | Beta2K: Didn't see you were on this until just now. Yes, it seems the photo has to be owned by root. | 23:22 |
| Haumea__ | anyway, sorry about logging in and out, I enter the FL studio installer using wine, and it says it's verifying the installer, and then when it reaches 100% it minimizes the window and starts again | 23:22 |
| Beta2K | twig11: Ugh, that makes it more difficult... | 23:23 |
| Beta2K | twig11: You could code a daemon to move pics around.... | 23:23 |
| Luceo | Any ALSA experts here? S/PDIF stopped working after an ALSA update and downgrading doesn't fix it | 23:23 |
| Beta2K | Haumea, checked the wine HQ database? There might be a few things from winetricks to install | 23:24 |
| jagginess | Luceo, you still use cd to play music? comeon rip 'em | 23:25 |
| Luceo | jagginess: I'm not using a CD o.O | 23:25 |
| Luceo | S/PDIF is optical out | 23:25 |
| escott | Luceo, if it is intel hda you might play around with the hda_analyzer.py | 23:25 |
| Beta2K | Luceo: I'd suspect the driver over ALSA itself, ALSA probably fixed something that the driver was relying on being broken :) | 23:26 |
| Beta2K | Luceo: What kind of card? | 23:26 |
| Luceo | It's hda intel | 23:26 |
| twig11 | Beta2K: If I could code a daemon at all. :-( Actually it's not a big deal, I was just hoping there was a simple workaround besides me as admin having to manually change the ownership of the photo and drop it in the directory. However, the system is probably too smart to make that easy. As escott says, who wants unity-greeter grabbing stuff out of people's home directories? | 23:27 |
| Luceo | Beta2K: HDA ATI SB, VIA VT2020 | 23:27 |
| Luceo | It's onboard on a Crosshair IV Formula | 23:27 |
| escott | twig11, you should never overestimate your users. some idiot is going to figure out a way to make a background image of all their passwords | 23:27 |
| Haumea__ | Beta2K: the winehq page doesn't seem to have anything... | 23:28 |
| Beta2K | Haumea__: There's a compatible program listing there somewhere.... One sec... | 23:29 |
| escott | twig11, thats one of the things that drives me CRAZY with lightdm. they are constantly doing things to make it splashier without (a) notification and (b) a way to disable it. I dont care if my [boot manager|boot framebuffer|login screen] is pretty or not. | 23:29 |
| Beta2K | Ah ha, appdb.winehq.org | 23:29 |
| twig11 | escott: :-) If they did that AFTER knowing the greeter's behavior, they might deserve the consequences. But I understand the point. | 23:30 |
| MirkoKa | twig11: if you insist, writing a shellscript around iwatch (or other CLI inotify tools) shoulnd't be to hard | 23:30 |
| Haumea__ | Beta2K: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=178 doesn't seem to have anything about winetricks... | 23:31 |
| kion | I have an Nvidia Gtx260M card but it will never reach maximum performance, any ideas? | 23:31 |
| escott | twig11, except its not their consequences. its your consequences. you are evidently the admin of that system, and are ultimately responsible for the security of it. so now you have to establish a policy that says "you may not use or create backgrounds that contain sensitive information" | 23:31 |
| === JwbF75ug is now known as RonaldMBrooks | ||
| twig11 | escott: actually, for someone like me who is interested in getting friends and family to take ubuntu seriously in order to wean them off windows, pretty is important. First impressions matter. | 23:32 |
| tom_ | How do I move close, minimise etc to the left side in Xubuntu? | 23:32 |
| escott | twig11, a more realistic scenario might be somebody deciding to make their background a render or blueprint of some unreleased company product | 23:32 |
| MirkoKa | kion: "maximum performance" compared to what? | 23:32 |
| === jlen is now known as palomer | ||
| kion | MirkoKa: Nvidia has 4 performance levels for my card and can be measured with nvidia-settings | 23:33 |
| escott | twig11, yeah but lightdm has been out for over 6 months now, and we STILL cannot prevent it from showing usernames | 23:33 |
| Luceo | escott: I'm pretty confused by this hda_analyser, however the relevant pin is set to 'OUT' so I don't think I need to change anything in it | 23:33 |
| Haumea__ | I'll be back in a bit | 23:33 |
| kion | MirkoKa: it is the clock speed and memory speed, Mine is allways running on a "powersave" mode | 23:33 |
| escott | Luceo, but is the mixer pin selecting the spdif pin as the output (from the dropdown in the mixer) | 23:33 |
| OY1R | can anyone help me setup an secondary monitor ? | 23:34 |
| Rallias | How do I make an sh script executable but not readable to a user? | 23:34 |
| escott | Rallias, not possible | 23:34 |
| Luceo | escott: There are like 7 entries under AUD_MIX | 23:34 |
| kion | Rallias try chmod 111 Filename | 23:35 |
| escott | Rallias, you might backup and try and tell us what you are hoping to accomplish and we can suggest another way | 23:35 |
| escott | kion, but then its no longer executable. is an sh script. | 23:35 |
| tuxgeek | Rallias: file permissions 101 | 23:35 |
| Rallias | escott I need to make an ssh script that must run as root on both the local server and remote server that have port forwards on ports 25, 80, and 3306. | 23:36 |
| twig11 | escott: Yeah, I'm pretty much convinced on the point about arbitrary user-selected backgrounds after thinking about it. The admin can always introduce another directory for more options if people want it. | 23:36 |
| escott | tuxgeek, kion, think about this for a moment before you tell Rallias the wrong thing. if you cant read it then sh cant read it | 23:36 |
| Aethrs | How can I disable unity in 12.04 ? | 23:36 |
| Rallias | To initiate the tunnel, I need to do ssh -N -f -L 3307:127.0.0.1:3306 -R 80:127.0.0.1:80 -L 25:127.0.0.1:25 | 23:36 |
| twig11 | escott: And I agree that they really should make the greeter more configurable. | 23:37 |
| escott | Rallias, there is nothing priviledged in there. and if your security model is such that those parameters must be secured you have BIG problems | 23:37 |
| OerHeks | !nounity | Aethrs | 23:37 |
| ubottu | Aethrs: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 23:37 |
| kosko | if `means to execute something` how do i insert args[0] there? | 23:37 |
| kion | escott: I just said try, because I was not absolutely shure, but knowing that what i suggested would not break anything :) | 23:37 |
| Rallias | escott, ports below 1024 much? | 23:37 |
| Aethrs | Thank you so much oreheks :) | 23:38 |
| escott | Rallias, but reading the file only tells the what the port configuration is. it doesnt tell us anything else | 23:38 |
| escott | Rallias, i think what you really want is to put this in /etc/rc.local | 23:39 |
| === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| Rallias | escott I need to have my keyfile password in that file aswell. | 23:39 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest98252 | ||
| Luceo | escott: As I can tell, 0x0e AUD_OUT refers to 0x2d PIN, I dont know where the mixer is to select | 23:40 |
| plustax | how do I run an application from terminal? I already did sudo su | 23:40 |
| plustax | and the file is located on my desktop. I tried this. root@ADVAITA:/home/plustax/Desktop# sudo /Desktop/revolutionary | 23:40 |
| plustax | sudo: /Desktop/revolutionary: command not found | 23:40 |
| escott | Rallias, so you have an auth-key that you have protected by a password. but if you let people read your private key now you have reduced your auth key security back to the level of a password. seems a bit silly. just put the command in rc.local. remove the password on the auth-key and let it start at boot | 23:40 |
| Rallias | escott the problem is, that tunnel has a habit of cutting before a reboot happens. | 23:41 |
| artemis12 | plustax: you need the full file path | 23:41 |
| escott | plustax, sudo -i is prefered over sudo su | 23:41 |
| plustax | okay what would be the correct path for that program? | 23:41 |
| plustax | Its right there on my desktop | 23:41 |
| MonkeyDust | escott sudo -i is a no-no in this channel, too much harm can be done with it | 23:41 |
| Rallias | MonkeyDust, Why is sudo -i different from sudo su? | 23:42 |
| MonkeyDust | Rallias sudo su is also a no-no | 23:42 |
| plustax | MonkeyDust, mind telling me the command to start this application? | 23:42 |
| escott | Rallias, sudo su doesn't preserve env variables that indicate you are in a sudo environment. sudo -i does | 23:42 |
| plustax | its in /Desktop | 23:42 |
| plustax | and im currently root | 23:43 |
| Rallias | plustax then ~plustax/Desktop/whatever | 23:43 |
| escott | Luceo, its been a long time since i've looked at that application. i dont remember what everything looks like anymore | 23:43 |
| === RonaldMBrooks is now known as RonaldMcDonaldBr | ||
| escott | Rallias, ~ = /root in sudo | 23:43 |
| MonkeyDust | plustax it's not a good idea to be root, rather use sudo | 23:44 |
| Luceo | escott: I cant find a mixer pin which has an option for 0x0e or 0x2d :/ | 23:44 |
| escott | plustax, it would be /home/username/Desktop/whatever | 23:44 |
| artemis12 | plustax: you have to have the filename of the program at the end. for example, if you have exampleprogram.sh on your desktop, you'd run it as sh /home/plustax/Desktop/exampleprogram.sh | 23:44 |
| plustax | gotcha | 23:44 |
| plustax | thank you! | 23:44 |
| artemis12 | np | 23:44 |
| MirkoKa | plustax: NOT usign sudo us actually the prefered way (sudo is only used to run programs with admin (superuser) privileges. you normally shouldn't have any programs in your desktop folder. what program exactly are you trying to run? | 23:45 |
| escott | Luceo, so there are mixer pins and a pin that roughly corresponds to master volume | 23:45 |
| Luceo | escott: Viewing the graph would lead me to believe that S/PDIF PIN is only linked to its AUD_OUT | 23:46 |
| lduros | hi, is there a way to enable to "Free Software Only" option after installing Ubuntu? I know there's an option before installing. But I installed the regular version, and now I only want free software... none of the proprietary stuff. Thanks | 23:46 |
| escott | Luceo, so then you need to select that AUD_OUT in the dropdown of the "master volume" or something | 23:47 |
| plugwash | You can remove restricted and multiverse from your sources.list and you can remove any packages installed from them using aptitude | 23:47 |
| plugwash | not sure if the "free software only" option does anything else | 23:47 |
| Luceo | escott: That's the thing, that AUD_OUT appears to be linked to nothing except the 0x2d PIN | 23:47 |
| MirkoKa | lduros: disable the multiverse, restricted and partner repos | 23:47 |
| lduros | MirkoKa: plugwash: ah ok! So these don't contain any of the free stuff I might want? | 23:48 |
| escott | Luceo, but there should be dropdown boxes in other pin controls that enable you to select that pin (or is it radio buttons? dont recall) | 23:48 |
| Yago | hello | 23:48 |
| Luceo | escott: The radio buttons don't include that pin | 23:48 |
| Yago | I need help trying to remove a dual boot | 23:48 |
| Aethrs | I don't see how to disable unity in gnome-tweak-tool after installing gnome-shell. Can someone assist me? it used to be easy to rid myself of unity but it seems like it's gotten a lot harder. | 23:48 |
| Yago | uninstall ubuntu from dual boot | 23:48 |
| escott | Aethrs, disable? just select shell on the login screen | 23:49 |
| Aethrs | Sorry, use gnome instead. | 23:49 |
| === RonaldMcDonaldBr is now known as RMB | ||
| MirkoKa | lduros: IIRC, the universe repo doesn't contain any "spoiled" stuff | 23:49 |
| Aethrs | Basically look like other Linux dists/what ubuntu looked like before unity. | 23:49 |
| === RMB is now known as RMB2 | ||

| lduros | MirkoKa: by spoiled you mean nonfree? :-) Will these stuff disappear from the software centre as well? | 23:49 |
| Aethrs | As i said, I read that, and I'm in gnome-tweak-tool.. I don't see how to get rid of unity. | 23:50 |
| Aethrs | Let me try installing gnome-panel and see if that changes anything. | 23:50 |
| MirkoKa | lduros: yes and yes (at least as far as I remember) | 23:50 |
| escott | Aethrs, you dont "get ride" of anything. you just dont use it | 23:50 |
| Aethrs | Apparently it's already installed. | 23:50 |
| Aethrs | escott- I used to be able to select "Gnome" on the display manager and forget about unity. | 23:51 |
| lduros | MirkoKa: what about the precise-security main restricted? | 23:51 |
| escott | Aethrs, yes. so on the login screen. click on the icon to the right of your username and select a different session type | 23:51 |
| tuxgeek | Aethrs: you can stil do that... | 23:51 |
| lduros | and precise-backports, should I just remove the references to "restricted" and "multiverse" without commenting the whole lines? | 23:51 |
| lduros | I guess so | 23:51 |
| Yago | MonkeyDust: hey | 23:51 |
| Aethrs | Oh there it is! Sorry :) The other options appeared after I installed the extra package I guess..It wasn't there by default. Thanks very much :) | 23:52 |
| Yago | anyone have software for Win XP that allows you to resize partitions? | 23:52 |
| plugwash | yeah | 23:52 |
| MirkoKa | lduros: remove the "restricted" component. NOTICE: no more propietary GFX drivers! | 23:52 |
| Yago | I tried MPWE 7 but its not free | 23:52 |
| lduros | MirkoKa: I have an intel graphics | 23:53 |
| escott | Yago, gparted on the livecd/liveusb | 23:53 |
| Harris | what is a app like homebank but with a password secerity | 23:53 |
| jagginess | Yago, you have a usb stick or spare cd? gparted live cd is very good | 23:53 |
| Yago | spare cd but does it work on windows xp? | 23:53 |
| jagginess | Yago, it's safer to work outside of xp | 23:53 |
| jagginess | Yago, the boot cd boots up into a gui | 23:53 |
| lduros | MirkoKa: here is the updated source.list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1018806/ | 23:53 |
| lduros | MirkoKa: anything I might have missed? | 23:54 |
| Yago | jagginess: how so? instead of booting up into an OS it goes straight into a gui? | 23:54 |
| Aethrs | Okay, so I go into gnome and rather than a nice menu structure on the upper-left click.. I have a unity-style icon thing. | 23:54 |
| charly_ | nice to be here! | 23:54 |
| charly_ | for the first time | 23:54 |
| tuxgeek | wc | 23:55 |
| jagginess | Yago, #xp | 23:55 |
| Yago | ? | 23:55 |
| Aethrs | Since when does gnome (on anything but ubuntu) have icons instead of a nice menu that lists everything? | 23:55 |
| Aethrs | It's like someone tried to make gnome into unity for people that don't want unity so they are forced to look at unity. | 23:56 |
| jagginess | Aethrs, gnome-shell | 23:56 |
| escott | Aethrs, you might consider reading release notes before upgrading a 2 year old release to a brand new version | 23:56 |
| Aethrs | escott- It's a new install. | 23:56 |
| halakar | crap, windows 8 screwed up my boot loader. how to fix? | 23:56 |
| Yago | jagginess: what steps do i take? | 23:56 |
| jagginess | halakar, win8 is not even out | 23:56 |
| tuxgeek | Aethrs: you can use the gnome clasic | 23:56 |
| halakar | jagginess, Windows 8 Release Preview, sir. | 23:56 |
| Yago | jagginess: does MPWE work to do that? | 23:56 |
| escott | !info gnome-panel | Aethrs | 23:57 |

| MirkoKa | lduros: looks fine, exept the "restricted" repo. I can't help with Intel stuff, be careful before you remove the "restricted"repo | 23:57 |

| lduros | MirkoKa: ok thanks | 23:57 |
| Aethrs | Got it. "Gnome Class (no effects)" is apparently the right answer. | 23:57 |
| Aethrs | Gnome classic pretty much (to me) looks like it's been owned by unity. ;) | 23:57 |
| Aethrs | Awesome.. My new laptop is pretty now. Thanks guys very much. | 23:58 |
| tuxgeek | np...:) | 23:58 |
| lduros | MirkoKa: is there a place I can see the version of sources.list that ships by default with a fresh install? | 23:59 |
| jagginess | Yago, 1- backup your data, 2- download gparted live cd (google it)/download iso/burn iso, when you finish burning iso come back here.. | 23:59 |
| kosko | anyone knows how to make vim always start with the certain nice? | 23:59 |
| jagginess | Yago, the installer may let you resize partitions, but you have to choose the proper menu items.. | 23:59 |
