[00:00] kosko: wrapper it [00:00] kosko, what is your alias line? and why would you need to alias vim? [00:00] kosko, rather nice vim [00:01] ok [00:01] 98% of my Ubuntu use is LTS server installs, so I haven't actually seen the "new" gui in quite a while. [00:02] hmm, i could use a little more informaton [00:02] what kind of services can i turn off for my zoneminder frame rate to pickup? [00:02] like...can i boot from the 12.04LTS CD and enter some sort of "boot repair" mode? [00:03] halakar, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [00:03] escott, I think I need this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/files/ [00:04] halakar, i think you should read the documentation and follow the step by step instructions we linked you to. but feel free to ignore us [00:04] escott, I'm not ignoring you. Your instructions say use boot-repair. The link I found is of 5-30. Problem? [00:06] halakar, "of 5-30"?? [00:06] escott, yes. [00:06] halakar, what does that mean [00:06] Okay....we're in june now. June is the 6th month in the year [00:06] What the mean of number on dmesg's output? [00:06] an iso published on 5-30 would mean..... ? [00:07] can a user be given an ability to nice with negative value? [00:07] halakar, if you want to do it the graphical way then "insert your ubuntu cd" reboot and choose "try ubuntu" [00:08] howdy folks [00:08] halakar, unless you want to make the disk, but if you have an ubuntu disk that seems like more effort than it is worth. so go to 2 and run the two commands "sudo add-apt-repository ..." and "sudo apt-get install ..." [00:08] escott, I am downloading the boot-repair iso now and will not be using the ubuntu disc. [00:09] reisio, dude , like you said no were on the net i was able to find anything that will make my wmv to work on any unix/apple platform [00:09] I fresh-installed 12.04, but I kept my home directory from my previous 10.4 install. Now the gnome-terminal hangs and has no cursor. I found a few bug listings, but no solutions so far. Any thoughts? [00:09] hey, i remember there being a netbook version of ubuntu, does that no longer exsist? [00:10] Blackshirt, seconds since boot [00:10] kosko, up to -10 for without root privs is normally allowed [00:10] reisio, my best best is to convert them , like you preceded and suggested :) [00:10] i mean good god, man [00:11] just got a brand new Asus eee 1025c and am having some video troubles with 12.04 - is this the right chan to ask for assistance? [00:11] but how do i do that [00:11] Escott , number between [ ] sign ? [00:11] hey, does anyone know if there is a ubuntu platform for netbooks like there was in the past? or is it all not just under desktop? [00:11] Blackshirt, yes. seconds since boot [00:11] krycheq, what issues [00:12] escott: -5 permission denied [00:12] Hey guys [00:12] starts fine but I can only get 800x600 resolution even tho I know the display will do 1200x600 [00:12] I have a question [00:12] krycheq, like you are not able to install 12.04 or are you getting black screen , etc [00:12] I have a question about removing my ubuntu dual boot [00:12] kosko, who are you? [00:13] escott: excuse me? [00:13] anyone recommend a good video converter [00:13] Thanks escott [00:13] kosko, i meant what is your uid? what groups are you in? but it seems you are correct you cannot increase priority [00:14] Can anyone help me [00:14] Im confused about the next step I should take [00:14] MCl0vin: Single video or batches? [00:14] escott: so even if i'll have the root user group i wouldn't be able to set a negative nice [00:14] Sofia, a batch [00:14] MCl0vin: For single videos I do alright with VLC. [00:15] Ah. You've got me, then. [00:15] escott: CAP_SYS_NICE capability is supposed to do this [00:15] kosko, root can certainly do it. for other users you would need to modify the config in /etc [00:15] Yago: You go into the backery and say "I have a question about your bread". What will they say? Right, they'll say "What question?! [00:15] Sofia, well VLC is not reading my format thats why i want to convert them [00:15] escott: not yet know how to set it [00:15] MirkoKa: sorry I have that bad habit, formed by school === ross_gibb_ is now known as rg_ [00:16] Ok, I was told to remove the Ubuntu repositories by downloading the gparted iso and burning it to a cd [00:16] then I was told to come back here after wards and ask for more help [00:16] so my question is: what is the next step i should take? [00:16] repositeries or partition? [00:17] I have an AMD Phenom quad core mobile processcor p920 x64...what copy of ubuntu should I choose? [00:17] partition, sorry [00:17] ubuntu amd64? [00:17] kosko, presumably /etc/security [00:17] is there is something called ffmg or ffmpg something like that? [00:17] Dyingloop, i think yes [00:18] have you made the boot cd? [00:18] I am about to make one [00:18] Yes sir [00:18] rather use an usb to double check if all my hardware is compatible first [00:18] ok boot it [00:18] tuxgeek: wait, to me or dyingloop [00:18] Weird development on my gnome-terminal issue. I can actually type commands into it and they execute. I just can't _see_ what I'm typing or the text output. [00:18] ? [00:18] would it tell you if it's the wrong architecture? [00:18] escott, those directions you posted are garbage anyway. there's nothing in a live environment even called boot-repair. you can't even find it in the package manager. absolute garbage. [00:18] Yago: You! [00:19] oh ok [00:19] oops! [00:19] got confused [00:19] sorry [00:19] kosko, this link may help http://superuser.com/questions/40429/how-do-i-run-pulseaudio-with-realtime-priority-in-ubuntu-9-04 [00:19] Me too [00:19] escott: i see this info in the limits.conf file [00:19] halakar, you have to run the add-apt-repo command first [00:19] thanks Black [00:19] thanks Blackshirt [00:20] that's nowhere in the instructions on the wiki. [00:20] hi guys wow do I have an odd question [00:20] Yago: just delete the ubuntu partition [00:20] will windows boot up afterwards? [00:20] i just type in add-apt-repo? Need specifics if i am going to succeed. [00:20] yesA [00:20] halakar, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair "2nd option : install Boot-Repair in Ubuntu" [00:20] yes! [00:20] I need a program to check if a purchased used dvd or cd is good [00:20] k thank-you. Ill try it and report back [00:20] thanks [00:20] that runs in linux [00:20] np [00:21] wtf .. can someone please go to google and type "how to convert wnv to mp4 in ubuntu and open the first result....it crasheds FF every single time [00:21] mattwj2002: Define "good". [00:21] i'm only 15 mins left on boot repair === histo_ is now known as histo [00:21] on the iso, [00:21] ummm plays without errors [00:21] mattwj2002: vlc :P [00:21] i mean, i should probably just wait for that to complete if adding the repo and downloading is going to take the same amount of time, no ? [00:21] without watch or listening to the whole thing [00:21] :P [00:21] *watching [00:21] anyone please [00:22] halakar, it gives you 4 different methods you can use to reinstall grub. you are welcome to use whichever one you want [00:22] jesus [00:22] URL: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sa=Search&channel=fe&client=browser-ubuntu&q=hw+to+convert+wmv+to+mp4+in+ubuntu&hl=en [00:22] MCl0vin: No crash for me, running firefox aurora [00:23] MCl0vin: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CF0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ehow.com%2Fhow_6121038_convert-wmv-mp4-ubuntu.html&ei=2lzJT5eiCcPDgQe5jInBDg&usg=AFQjCNHjBXDToOPqlyeNHy70PsxJerwNxg&sig2=LGXrFxJBUjrBXBt-RHOBzA [00:23] Ack [00:23] Excuse the long URL [00:23] I think I'm going to need to do a fresh install. This happens every time I try to do an update. I have an old on-board video adapter. I tried to upgrade to Precise Pangolin last weekend. [00:23] MCl0vin: you do know that the times where google presented the same result to different people are over, don't you? [00:23] halakar: For restoring grub from a liveCD I highly recommend this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#ChRoot which I sent you earlier. [00:23] MCl0vin: http://paste2.org/p/2042664 Content in text-only form [00:24] after i changed /etc/security/limits.conf what should i run to make it in effect [00:24] Jordan_U, all I did was slap windows 8 on an empty partition. it destroyed grub. blah [00:24] Jordan_U, are you saying this "boot-repair" with the "recommended repair" option won't fix ? [00:24] kosko, i have no idea. rebooting would certainly force it to be reread [00:24] MirkoKa, what do you mean , no i don't? [00:24] halakar: That's exactly what I would expect. [00:25] Does anyone have any tips for my gnome-terminal with no visible cursor/text in the window? [00:25] source maybe? === ty_ is now known as legasp [00:25] halakar: Just reinstall grub o.O [00:25] mattwj2002: read the dvd or cd as image to the hard disk twice, take md5sum from each image and compare. if both reads give same md5sum it means that the disks are propably fine as both reads gave the same result (e.g. no scratch errors) [00:25] Jordan_U, yeah, well I had heard rumors that Windows 8 was intelligent enough to not destroy everything and add an entry in its OWN bootloader for Ubuntu. [00:25] delac: If the DVD is foobar, surely both images will be foobar exactly the same [00:25] kosko, its not a shell script. it is read by some userspace program which injects the rules into the kernel [00:25] So the hashes will match [00:25] halakar: It probably will, but I prefer to know the actual commands being run rather than trusting an automated process I'm not familiar with. I know that the guide I sent you works. [00:26] I agree.. [00:26] After trying to upgrade to Precise Pangolin, now when I boot, I get this message "The system is rnning in low-graphics mode. Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself" I can ssh in just fine, but I have trouble seeing/using the desktop. [00:26] anyone know why ubuntu 12.04 would be reading my dual monitors as a single 'laptop' monitor with screen res of 3840x1080? [00:26] so no help? [00:26] Luceo: if there are scratches, they will most likely cause different kind of read results, witchs causes different md5sums [00:26] it should be two monitors at 1080p [00:26] oops sorry [00:27] delac: Is that from experience or speculation? I don't see why scratches in the same place would cause different read issues [00:27] I thought I had a problem a long time ago [00:27] I can't remember what it is [00:27] How do I configure my screen, video card, and input device from ssh? [00:27] MCl0vin: google works differently today. the same query done by you and me can (and most probably will) show very different results. telling people to google for "foo bar somehting" and tell them to look at result 3 doesn't work anymore [00:28] mattwj2002: You could try reading the entire DVD (from /dev/sr0) and checking for read errors. Unfortunately many commercial DVDs *purposefully* insert incorrect hashes to cause read errors, so the test would always fail on those even if they were "good". [00:28] i have a feeling i'm about to destroy everything here, i chose the recommended option....now i'm waiting for it to do something. [00:28] HelloWorld321: Which GPU is it? [00:28] Luceo: that method is used by many cd check programs [00:28] It's an on-board nVidia chip (on the mobo) [00:28] HelloWorld321: Should be able to use nvidias tool to auto gen xorg.conf [00:29] exit [00:29] MirkoKa, ahhh i didn't know that :) [00:29] Tx Luceo [00:29] Hello, does any one use Overlayfs for /usr or anything? I'm having an issue where mount dosn't like the device name. [00:29] It worked. Well, I've booted Windows 8 anyway. Rebooting to see if my ubuntu still works. Good grief [00:30] guys what do you think of this? [00:30] http://freecode.com/projects/cdck [00:30] OK, back in business [00:30] thanks guise [00:33] aloha all [00:33] *wind sounds* === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [00:38] !ot | Chuck_Norris [00:38] Chuck_Norris, please see my private message [00:38] where are the newbs [00:39] !ot | Yago [00:39] Yago, please see my private message [00:43] help i cant install and virtual systems in virtual box [00:43] virtualbox wont work?

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [00:44] ok look i treid to install android and [00:44] The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing [00:44] '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' [00:44] as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary. [00:44] Bulletrulz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:44] sorry flood [00:45] Bulletrulz, so you are trying to run android inside vbox? WHY? [00:46] escott idk i dont have a android phone and wana do stuff [00:47] anyway how to fix it [00:47] Bulletrulz, http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html [00:47] Bulletrulz: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup [00:48] ok, goodbye ubuntu ...i am switching to windows [00:48] what's the command to enable wireless? [00:48] on ubuntu [00:48] i can't seem to do it physically [00:48] dyingloop, depends on how it is disabled. rfkill? [00:49] dyingloop: sudo ifconfig up [00:49] dyingloop, its possible that if you booted windows and then disabled the wireless card through some acpi call that linux doesnt know, then the only way to reenable the transmitter might be through windows [00:50] well no windows on this puppy === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [00:50] dyingloop: puppy has a settup wizard for that [00:50] and /j #puppy [00:50] dyingloop: What happens when you try to connect to a wireless network via network manager? [00:51] heh by puppy i meant my laptop [00:51] well nothing [00:51] oh! [00:51] it won't even acknowledge that i have wireless [00:51] use windows alot easier [00:51] dyingloop: OK, has it recognised your wireless card in the past? [00:51] it hasn't [00:52] i was trying to enable it first [00:52] dyingloop: Do you know what chipset your wireless car uses? [00:52] or is it the other way around? [00:52] yes [00:52] Realtek RTL8191SEvB [00:52] I am using live cd to see if i can find the drivers firs [00:52] dyingloop, the other way around. sudo lshw -C network should list your network cards [00:52] t [00:52] I have a problem where gparted is having troubles booting up [00:53] dyingloop: You don't normally have to "enable" wireless. It usually Just Works™ . [00:53] um i rather use virtualbox [00:53] ah gotcha escott [00:53] i guess ill just use wine [00:53] Does anyone know how I could boot up gparted, i think its a graphics issue [00:53] Yago, gparted is an application. gparted doesnt "boot" what are you trying to boot [00:53] escott: i have it on a live cd and i booted it [00:53] dyingloop: Ralink cards are notoriously difficult with Linux. Is using a different wireless card an option? [00:53] Yago, so you booted the normal livecd, and selected try ubuntu. then what [00:54] when i try to install anything i get this Media change: please insert the disc labeled [00:54] 'Lubuntu 12.04 _Precise Pangolin_ - Release i386 (20120423)' [00:54] in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter [00:54] escott: no, i booted it solo ... as in there is no OS booted up [00:54] Yago, gparted is an application. it is NOT an OS. what did you boot? [00:54] i need heko [00:55] Bulletrulz: virtualbox says that? [00:55] Yago: If you're using the GParted LiveCD then this is the wrong channel to ask in. This is the support channel for Ubuntu only. [00:55] no everything! [00:55] Yago, what is the link to the thing that you downloaded and burned? [00:55] Jordan_U: oh, i was told to by someone in ehere [00:55] i was able to get lucky last time Jordan_U, so figured I should at least give it a try...My back up plan is this...supposedly it is linux compatible and dirt cheap [00:55] http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=105&cp_id=10308&cs_id=1050108&p_id=8072&seq=1&format=2 [00:55] escott: gparted.sourceforge [00:55] termnianal,softwarecenter,etc [00:55] .com [00:55] or .net [00:55] It did take me a whole month though Jordan_U lol [00:56] and two clean installations...but [00:56] i just don't have that patience this time [00:56] Yago, so to echo Jordan_U thats not an ubuntu product. not the right channel for issues with it. but gparted is on the livecd, so just boot your install CD select "try ubuntu" and then you can use gparted [00:56] I think my problem is that I need to ppa-purge [00:56] escott: oh so i have to burn another live cd with ubuntu on it? [00:56] Yago, if you want help in this channel you need to be using ubuntu in some form [00:57] 'chuck everything does [00:57] MCl0vin: don't confuse accustoms with easiness. anyway, your choice, good by then :-) [00:57] every time I run apt it tries to install java. How can i tell it to stop it [00:57] escott: I am, the original problem was attempting to remove ubuntu from a dual boot [00:57] output [00:57] btw escott that command gave me "Network Disabled" [00:57] Yago: In fact looking at the scrollback you were given terrible advice. Just deleting your Ubuntu partition would have left you unable to boot Ubuntu *or* Windows from the hard drive. [00:57] escott: and someone told me to burn gparted, boot up with it and remove the partition [00:57] Jordan_U: really? [00:57] Yago, so do you have your original install media for ubuntu. b/c you can use that [00:57] thank God I didnt [00:57] !paste | dyingloop use that [00:58] dyingloop use that: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [00:58] escott: no nor do I have for Windows either [00:58] Jordan_U: what should I do? [00:58] can anyone help me edit or create a custom X session? editing an existing one is preferred [00:58] Yago, first you need to boot windows and reinstall the windows bootloader. it used to be "fixmbr" i dont know if thats still correct [00:58] http://pastebin.com/JvJuvJ05 < output of any time I run apt-get install [00:59] i want to edit the xbmc session and add chromium browser to it as well, so it loads it in the background [00:59] escott: ok is that a program? [00:59] Here you go www.paste.ubuntu.com/1018861/ [00:59] Yago, it is/was a windows command. i wouldn't trust me that its correct. i dont use windows [00:59] ok [01:00] Yago: Please get an Ubuntu liveCD (preferably Ubuntu 12.04) and come back when you have that. Basically, you need to first install an MS style MBR via the utility "install-mbr" then check that Windows boots (with no grub menu), then delete the Ubuntu partition and resize the Windows partition (making sure not to change the starting sector of the Windows partition). [01:00] ok ill burn a cd :) be right back in a long while [01:00] Yago: I will be away for a few minutes and available in and out after that, but I am here so just be patient and I will reply eventually. [01:01] thank-you [01:01] I want to know how to install updates on Ubuntu. I installed a low minimum iso and I can install things like sudo apt-get install and sudo apt-get update but not upgrade [01:01] Jordan_U, is install-mbr a windows command? [01:01] escott: No. [01:02] escott: sudo software-properties-gtk -e universe && sudo apt-get install mbr && sudo install-mbr /dev/sda #Replace "/dev/sda" with your disk drive, and *not* a partition like /dev/sda1 [01:02] ok I am downloading the iso from this page: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer [01:02] Jordan_U, yeah. i was just wondering if it had replaced fixmbr on the windows side. i dont know what the windows mbr command is anymore [01:02] Yago, no you dont want that [01:03] no? [01:03] Yago, you want this http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [01:03] im not downloading wubi [01:03] im using the other link [01:03] anyone know anything about X sessions? [01:03] ok [01:03] Yago, you are downloading Wubi. that thing you are looking at is wubi [01:03] that one is quicker [01:04] escott: oh, there was another link on that page that wasn't an exe [01:04] this link is quicker though [01:05] Yago, ok i see the confusion. you were using the thing at the bottom not at the top. thats the same as the link i sent you [01:05] ok [01:05] Hi, I've got a LAN at home on a router, but Internet is via a USB modem on my laptop. When I plug in the LAN(Ethernet) I lose the Internet (e.g. 404 on google.com). Help, anyone? [01:05] Yago, so the top of my link or the bottom of your link should be fine. but you should be downloading a 700MB iso file [01:05] Yago, not an EXE [01:05] yeah [01:05] I already have the exe on my Desktop, ill be trying that out later... [01:05] Jordan_U: [01:06] so Im gonna remove a dual boot and install wubi afterwards [01:06] I installed ndiswrapper [01:06] tbrown2012fb, what do you mean you cant apt-get upgrade [01:06] I was also able to locate the drivers from realtek website [01:06] anbody know anything about X sessions? [01:07] It's asking for inf file [01:07] !anyone | xisorshadow [01:07] xisorshadow: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [01:07] Yago, i would personally discourage that. i dont like the way wubi is structured. i think you are better off with dual boot or vbox, but not this weird wubi halfway house [01:07] Where is this inf file located? [01:07] xangua, that was completely irrelevant, i DID ask a question [01:07] hey guys by default ubuntu only created two partitions / and swap and i am wondering in the future if there is a chance to add /boot and /home support with recommended sizes in teh installer :) [01:08] hi. I think I have a problem with locales on a ubuntu server, I am getting odd chacaters in my console session. i've tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales and sudo apt-get install --reinstall locales with no avail [01:08] starting with windows 7 we all know M$ allocate 100 MiB to system boot partition [01:08] mcored, you can do a custom partitioning in the installer, but what you have is the default [01:08] escott: Yeah, but the people who use the computer are not big Ubuntu fans and I want something thats easy to remove in any circumstance. [01:09] mcored: you can do that by yourself, just an extra pair of steps [01:09] Yago, vbox would meet that "easy to remove" standard, and you have the benefits of a virtualized system (assuming your hardware is decent) [01:09] escott: I dont know I installed the minimal iso or something and know am trying to get the sudo apt-get upgrade to work but I dont think it working:( [01:09] yeah escott i just wished the installer had a simple algorithm to set a minimum /boot partition [01:09] how much do you think /boot would require? [01:09] * gohkesh farts [01:09] escott: thats the problem, my hardware is far from decent, http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/opgx240/en/ug/specs.htm [01:10] and Win XP [01:10] mcored, most people dont need /boot. so.... in any case i set mine to 1GB because that way i never have to worry about it filling up. at 100MB it fills up every 6months with old kernels and i have to go in and remove them [01:10] tbrown2012fb, what does it say when you run sudo apt-get upgrade [01:10] ok thank you escott [01:11] after installed ubuntu i dont thikn there is any chance to do anythign now...

When I unplug my ethernet cable, the OS freezes and nothing is logged about the event, as far as I can tell (in syslog). Do you have any thoughts on how I can diagnose the problem and/or fix it? === rofl is now known as Tux [01:46] Yago, odd that they do that. but you can add a line. sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list copy one of the other lines but replace the bit after "precise" with "universe" and add it to the file [01:46] maheanuu, the disk-utility gui or install smartmon-tools [01:46] I live in the middle of the South Pacific, abt 5000 miles from anywhere and the drives all have been good and I never had problems like this before [01:47] escott I wasn't aware SMART worked over USB?

[01:48] artemis12, zhanger im dumb [01:48] what happened? [01:48] Saeryn, i didnt catch the usb bit. but i think its up to the usb adapter to decide if smart data can be passed across [01:48] xbmc has an addon that will let me launch a program built into it >.< [01:48] I am running fat and not ntfs or the linux file system as I am the only user here on the island === Monarquista is now known as nick6 [01:48] so i pointed it to /usr/bin/chromium-browser XD [01:48] Yago, universe not universal?

[01:49] maheanuu is this via USB? [01:49] Yago, so sudo apt-get update -- does it mention universe? [01:49] Yes [01:49] was usr/bin/ the correct place to point it to? is that safe? [01:49] Alright maheanuu , paste me your dmesg in a pastefile. [01:49] xisorshadow yes [01:49] My laptop is over heating again how can I make it cool down:( [01:49] xisorshadow: generally speaking, that is where programs are launched from [01:49] i know bin is short for binary so i assumed that was where it stored the executables for stuff [01:49] Saeryn, Yes [01:49] what is the name of the terminal window program? so i can add that to my list? [01:49] you can type 'which chromium-browser' to make sure the path is the same [01:50] xisorshadow: yep, that's correct [01:50] gnome-terminal [01:50] gnome-terminal [01:50] woot ty for all the help! im off to tweak my htpc, now that it works how i want! got hours of work in xbmc to do :D [01:50] theres also a neat one called guake [01:50] xisorshadow : good luck [01:50] I used urxvt [01:50] limpc: must be read only [01:50] the sd card is unlocked though [01:50] why is it saying readonly? [01:51] talking about the little hardware unlock thing? [01:51] escott: it says unable to find expected entry 'unisversal/binary-i386/Packages' to release file (wrong sources.list entry or malformed file [01:51] ) [01:51] Saeryn, what is dmesg? I know of the paste file but the dmesg command or what it is I am not familiar with yet [01:51] yes the switch on the sd card. it's set to unlocked [01:51] reisio, im using a media hub if that makes any difference? [01:51] Yago, can you paste the error message and the contents of sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com [01:51] oh [01:51] wait [01:51] i dont see sdhci in lsmod or dmesg [01:51] maheanuu open a terminal and type "dmesg" without the quotes. [01:52] limpc: I s'pose it could [01:52] Saeryn, Ok bbiam with a paste [01:52] i failed to see this: Yago, universe not universal? [01:52] how do i fix this? [01:53] My sound is not working on ubuntu what do I do to install the right drivers:) [01:53] tbrown2012fb: laptop?

Sense: Unrecovered read error [01:55] escott: I am setup [01:55] Yago, then sudo parted -l and look for the NTFS I suspect it will be /dev/sda# where the number doesn't matter to us [01:56] Yago, then you can run sudo install-mbr /dev/sda (without the number) [01:56] maheanuu It seems the disk had an error while reading a piece of data. It could be a bad sector due to a headcrash or rough handling in the package. [01:57] maheanuu, time to RMA [01:57] ^ [01:57] Most definitely [01:57] escott: ok it says disk: /dev/sda [01:57] ill run install-mbr [01:57] What brand is the Drive maheanuu?

[01:59] amazeing hard drives are reliable as they are. ;) [01:59] They should be willing to send you a new one at little to no cost to yourself maheanuu [01:59] reisio: Am good I got it two work thanks [01:59] Yago, so now you can reboot and you should go directly to windows (no grub) confirm that. then reboot back to the livecd, and start "gparted" and use that to delete the ubuntu partition and increase the size of the windows partition. before you do that can you tell me if there was anything before NTFS on /dev/sda or was it /dev/sda1 [01:59] escott, I came here in 74 and became a citizen in 84 I was a Sperry Univac Field Engineer for the Navy after retiring from the Navy... [02:00] escott: ok thank-you [02:00] hi im trying to install ubuntu from my hard drive that i have in a hard drive dock thats connected via usb 3.0, and when i went to reboot my computer to install, it didnt go to the drive [02:00] Saeryn, I am a retired Chief Electronics Tech and have been in puters since the early 60's [02:01] i had to turn the drive to get back into windows 7 [02:01] and it was telling me something about a file missing [02:01] maheanuu That's very nice. [02:01] does ubuntu offer a 64 bit virtual machine software [02:01] I mean so the guest os can run 64 bit [02:01] my mobo doesn't have the option for virtualization [02:01] harushimo To run a 64 Bit os in a Virtual Machine you need a 64 Bit host machine and a CPU capable of VT-x [02:01] I used to have all sorts of drive tools, but haven't found much for Linux and I really do want not having to ever use Windoze ever again..... [02:01] harushimo, no [02:02] Otherwise no, you will have to run a 32-bit Guest. [02:02] my machine is 64 bit. I don't have a mobo with virtualizatoin on it [02:02] ok [02:02] that is what I thought [02:02] I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask [02:02] :) No harm in asking. [02:03] thanks [02:03] we will still send you a bill... ;) [02:03] Also harushimo I think it is the CPU that is required to have the capability not the Motherboard but I'm not entirely sure on that. [02:03] escott: Windows boots up [02:03] sorry then my cpu [02:03] I thought it was mobo [02:03] harushimo, i dont think you have to have VT-X to virtualize, its just a lot slower [02:03] really [02:03] I was reading online that mobo have the option [02:04] hello? [02:04] How can I make my laptop cool down I have LXDE Desktop Experence on but it still getting hot:) Please someone help me:) [02:04] escott: im booting live cd again [02:04] Yago, ok. so now you should be able to remove the ubuntu and resize the NTFS provided you to not change where he NTFS starts [02:04] I am going back and try to partition and format the drive again and then load it one more time, It is too late to get another disk until Monday.... That is the problem with living on an island that is remote, no one works on weekends [02:04] !hello | ItalianStallion [02:04] Where is that information from escott?

[02:05] the version that they have online is 64 bit [02:05] escott I was under the assumption that all i3 of a 2nd Gen had VT-x? [02:05] harushimo, i take that back mine does have vmx so i dont really know [02:06] noob, two types of installs a full one and one for installs which are you looking for? [02:06] Saeryn, maybe the i-series sold as pentiums have that disabled? i know they sell some without it [02:06] can someone please help me [02:06] this looks like what I am wanting to do http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/how-to-hijack-an-already-running-x11-application-via-ssh-x [02:06] I want to be able to install and run linux off a usb [02:06] harushimo I'm 99.9% Sure the CPU *MUST* have VT-x Virtualization to support a 64-Bit Virtual Guest.

I tend to do 'full' normal installs to the external drives [02:07] the HD is inserted into a HD Dock, connected through USB 3.0 [02:07] escott: NTFS meaning windows right? [02:07] yes, a usb pendrive install is what im looking for [02:07] harushimo If you give me the model of your CPU I can check for you to make sure :) [02:07] ItalianStallion: it might not be a bootable device [02:07] thanks ubottu [02:07] its a hard drive [02:08] when the computer reboots, it just sits there at the menu [02:08] Saeryn, i dont think thats true. because vmware and company existed BEFORE VT-X their existence drove the creation of the feature. http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/10/01/should-you-enable-intels-vt-x-in-virtualbox/ [02:08] ItalianStallion, please use nics in reponses. [02:08] and doesnt do a thing [02:08] ItalianStallion: that dosent mean the pc can boot from it - due to it being in a dock [02:08] harushimo, you dont *HAVE* to have VT-X its nice if you do though [02:08] so i cant install linux to a hard drive connected through a usb hd dock? [02:09] Yago, yes [02:09] ive seen pcs with usb3 that cant boot from theusb3 port also. [02:09] Yago, the windows partitions will appear as NTFS partitions in gparted because thats the type [02:09] ItalianStallion: its hard to tell. You cacn install.. but perhaps not boot it. You could try connecing the hd directly to a usb port [02:09] escott He wants to run a 64 Bit guest, I'm on a 64-Bit without VT-x and I can;t do it. That article talks about x86 unless I'm misunderstanding. [02:10] i dont understand, dr_willis [02:10] * noob hugs ubottu [02:10] ItalianStallion: dont use the dock. Plug the HD into a usb port. [02:10] i cant, it is a internal hard drive [02:10] escott: k [02:10] http://askubuntu.com/questions/41550/how-do-i-run-a-64-bit-guest-in-virtualbox [02:11] the dock has a built in hard drive? Never seen one of those. So no idea if its bootable or not. [02:11] The dock has 2 sections for 2 HARD DRIVES [02:11] Saeryn, ok [02:11] you are correct [02:11] one of them is 250 gb hard drive which i want to use for linux [02:11] and the other drive is a 2 TERABYTE DRIVE FOR STORAGE [02:11] the articles they were referring to the motherboard [02:11] I think processor too [02:12] any idea why this {sudo echo "deb http://ubuntu.mirror.cambrium.nl/ubuntu/ hardy main universe" >> /etc/apt/sources.list} would give me permission denied [02:12] harushimo, nevermind. Saeryn is correct: Revision D and later 64-bit AMD processors (as a rule of thumb, those manufactured in 90 nm or less) added basic support for segmentation in long mode, making it possible to run 64-bit guests in 64-bit hosts via binary translation. Intel did not add segmentation support to its x86-64 implementation (Intel 64), making 64-bit software-only virtualization impossible on Intel CPUs, but Intel VT-x supp [02:12] ort makes 64-bit hardware assisted virtualization possible on the Intel platform. [02:12] You could always boot from a external flash drive perhaps. aaaand see if you can get it booting that way. but its possible the dock is special - and cant boot from the hard drives [02:12] what if i just changed the boot order [02:12] would that work [02:12] chris__ sudo runs "echo" as root, but >> is in your shell. try echo | sudo tee -a filename [02:12] ItalianStallion: if the bios even sees the docks drives to allow you to select them.. that would be a sign it CAN boot from the dock. [02:13] ok [02:13] anyone? trying to copy image to a securedigital (SD) card. getting a 'read-only' error. sd card is unlocked. also, this is through a media hub. [02:13] umm this is weird [02:13] if it dosent show them ItalianStallion that would be a sign that it cant boot from the dock [02:13] one question, virtualization has been there a long time. Isn't better to do it at the software level rather than hardware [02:13] when i reboot my computer with the usb dock still powered on, it just sits at the menu [02:14] and when i turn it off and reset, it loads fine [02:14] limpc: http://superuser.com/questions/53667/how-do-i-prevent-a-memory-card-from-mounting-as-read-only-in-ubuntu-linux [02:14] harushimo Depending on what you are doing virtualization vis-a-vis hardware is usually better rather than software. [02:14] its not mounted, i unmounted the volume and am trying to dd an image to it [02:14] escott, that worked, I thought sudo ran for the entire command [02:15] chris__ it did. the command was echo :). [02:15] has anyone use maas at all? [02:15] i got the following problem: whenever i reboot, my netbook (acer one) hangs after turning of the screen [02:15] what I'm trying to do is setup a cloud [02:15] be right back [02:15] limpc: you cant dd anything to unmounted disk, as far as i know... [02:15] but shutdown works fine [02:15] only when i try to reboot, it kind of freezes [02:15] ubuntu has maas. I want to be able to use it [02:15] got no chance to enter/readout anything [02:15] is there any logfile of the reboot? [02:16] Looking for help with Laptop heat issues in Ubuntu 12.04. [02:16] delac, when i run fsck -a on it, i get open: Read-only file system [02:16] it would be great [02:16] Hi [02:16] chris__ you can also do things like sudo $( command with | pipes ) and get what you want, but I would discourage it because its unclear how variables will be expanded [02:17] aside from testdisk, is there a similar tool to recover deleted files? [02:17] Hello [02:17] a bunch of folders and files that is [02:17] limpc: I must admit, that I do not know what that means [02:18] escott, I know one of these days I am going to forget the '-a' and my file will be gone. I havent used tee. I am trying to get better with the command line and learn new commands. Is there a particular website that youd recommend? [02:18] anyone know of a tool that you can create a debian distro (remix)? basically i want to make an iso that's a lighter set of default packages and is geared towards a specific application [02:19] chris__ its just as easy to forget a > so the main thing is to be careful [02:19] delac, http://pastebin.com/GJKfqu0P [02:19] Looking for help to resolve laptop overheating issues in Ubuntu 12.04 [02:19] !remaster | bdfoster [02:19] bdfoster: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [02:19] escott, Ill just need to get in the habbit than, is there a site that you used to use these commands? [02:20] Jordan_U, yea but for debian not ubuntu (yea, i know ubuntu is based on debian) [02:20] bdfoster: If you really want Debian though you're in the wrong channel. [02:20] chris__ not particularly you just pick them up over time, im still learning things. like what i gave you earlier sudo $() doesnt work the way i thought it would [02:20] bdfoster: Try #debian , this is #ubuntu. [02:21] yea i asked the same question in there first, no one's around [02:21] escott, does sudo $() do something bad? [02:21] chris__ $() is the same as `` so it executes that command as the normal user and passes the output as a command to sudo [02:22] bdfoster: That doesn't make it on topic for #ubuntu. [02:22] doesn't mean someone doesn't know... [02:22] chris__ sudo bash -c ' command with | pipes ' should work, but again i wouldn't recommend it because thats a new subshell with a different environment and you have to be super careful as to how variables expand [02:23] does anyone anything ubunt maas service? [02:23] or how to set it up [02:23] !maas [02:23] Yago, do you know what you need to do at this point? [02:23] im just now finishing to boot ubuntu [02:23] bdfoster: This channel is for Ubuntu support only. That is our policy, please respect it. [02:23] now im opening gparted [02:24] escott, Ive used the "|" with grep and now with tee, what else would I use it for? [02:24] escott: i just run sudo gparted right? [02:24] escott: ok [02:24] chris__ basically everything. you can do some crazy stuff with pipes. [02:24] got it [02:25] chris__ http://www.linfo.org/pipes.html [02:25] Yago, gksudo is preferred [02:25] Looking for help... anybody? [02:25] PlastikSpork with what? [02:25] escott: oh... its already open. So ill close it and run "gksudo gparted"? [02:26] chris__ if you ever find yourself thinking "If i take this and modify it with this program and save it, and then modify it with this program and save it... then that whole chain can usually be replaced with a series of pipes [02:26] Yago, damage is done [02:26] Yago, but with a livecd it doesnt matter so much because you can always reboot [02:26] !gksudo | Yago [02:26] Yago: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [02:26] Laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 running way too hot... ran cpu stress test in Windows 7... 160F. In ubuntu temps exceeded 200F!!!! [02:27] escott: thank-you. NTFS is sda1... i think its the first partition [02:27] Seems like the CPU fan speed does not increase as the Temp increases [02:27] PlastikSpork 200F?! Usually the critical mark is about 230F [02:27] I'd check the fans [02:27] Yeah no $hit [02:27] Yago, should be. just select the stuff that is not the NTFS (and after it) and delete it. then select the NTFS and grow it to fill the free space [02:27] Is anyone else having any kind of issue with the shutting down process in ubuntu 12.04 like freezing [02:28] !language | PlastikSpork [02:28] PlastikSpork: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [02:28] sorry [02:28] Ah, yeah, that can be your issue, make sure the vents are clear and clean and the fan is working properly. [02:28] PlastikSpork, could be an issue with the graphics card [02:28] escott: ok, does the non-NTFS part include the "D:/" drive [02:28] PlastikSpork, if you have an option to disable nvidia/amd graphics and use intel integrated that would be better [02:28] nothing wrong with vents being dirty... windows 7 100% cpu stress test the temp is a constant 160F [02:29] Yago, anything NTFS is windows related [02:29] Then follow escott 's advice. [02:29] Check the graphics card. [02:29] I am using integrated drivers [02:29] Yago, so check the types of the filesystems [02:29] !info powertop | PlastikSpork [02:29] PlastikSpork: powertop (source: powertop): Linux tool to find out what is using power on a laptop.

[02:30] I need a way to send a file from one computer to another' [02:30] Without a USB stick [02:30] PlastikSpork, unfortunately this is going to probably come down to either "graphics drivers" or acpi tables. neither of which can you do a lot about. there are things to tell the kernel to try and do acpi differently, but if the manufacturer creates buggy acpi tables then... [02:30] Tiktalik save it online then download it from the site. === chris__0076 is now known as chris_0076 [02:31] Yago, ext4 is ubuntu. extended is a container for other partitions [02:31] Saeryn: we have a horribly slow internet connection [02:31] escott, what the difference between "more" and "less", I did 'dpkg --list | less' and 'dpkg --list | more' and they look the same [02:31] I think the problem is that Ubuntu will not increase the CPU fan speed as the Temp increases.... In windows 7 the CPU fan speed increases drastically during the stress test and in Ubuntu the Fan speed stays constant [02:31] Tiktalik, scp filename user@host:/path/to/folder [02:32] limpc: sorry, I was bit afk there, but back now :) Unfortunately though, I can't really say anything about the error you get. I'm going to assume that the card was properly unmounted when you tried fsck? [02:32] hey everyone, i was trying to build a toolchain for mips as per the instructions at http://linuxencaja.net/wiki/Gccmips. When doing make CFLAGS="-Os -w", I get the error, http://dpaste.com/754451/ - any hints on what Im doing wrong? [02:32] chris__, less is more :). lots of old programs have an original UNIX variant and a subsequent GNU or BSD variant less and more are one such a tool [02:32] escott: Can I make it use a port that isn't 22? [02:32] ATTENTION #UBUNTU [02:32] DICKS [02:33] chris__, they will have different options, usually you want the gnu version. so in this case less. I was honestly surprised they included more in the release [02:33] Tiktalik: -P switch allows you to specify the port. [02:33] Tiktalik, if you run the server on a different port yes [02:34] escott: what computers do I need ports and stuff forwarded on [02:34] delac, did you see the pastebin i posted? [02:35] Tiktalik, you would need to install openssh-server on the remote system, and on any NAT (ie router) between the two you would need to forward the desired port (22 is the default, but you could use something else) [02:35] limpc: yes, that is the error I ment [02:35] hmm k [02:35] Here is a challenge ... can anyone tell me how to merge .vmdk-files (2gb splitted virtual-disk files) into just one big file ? [02:35] anyone know why -- I use x2x and have just tried x2x from xubuntu 12.04 to xubuntu 10.04 - x2x doesn't work completely - cursor trapped at left hand side of the screen (x2x is to enable you to use the mouse pointer from 1 pc to another (drifts across)) [02:35] escott, I never understood why people said "more is less" and "less is more" until now. Lol...You can take the sentence "I was honestly surprised they included more in the release" and read the defination of more in both ways [02:35] chris__, usually they say "less is greater than more" [02:36] . [02:36] ...oh and the challenge is ... WITHOUT using VMWare or any non-opensource software [02:36] coraxx: I'd check the VirtualBox forums. [02:36] chris__, or less is better than more [02:36] Oh [02:36] delac, this is what i get with -n: http://pastebin.com/8b332qi5 [02:36] Have fun with that coraxx :P [02:36] i have a iso image with free space, how i can make an exact iso copy of that file without the free space inside? [02:36] oops hd wrong one [02:36] Saeryn: oh I'm already enjoying myself :-) [02:36] chris__, and yes these program names can be entertaining in sentences. its a bit of a game how they come up with them [02:36] delac, http://pastebin.com/0q3b5hSs [02:37] asdf1232, compression? [02:37] mkisofs -r -o file.iso /path/to/folder [02:37] chris__: whats path to folder? [02:37] im starting with an .iso, and ending with a .iso [02:37] awesome, 3 megabytes per second [02:37] asdf1232, the folder that you want the iso to contain [02:38] thanks escott, you're very helpful [02:38] coraxx If I have some freetime later I can check into it for you, but right now I'm quite busy, is there any way I can contact you outside of this room ie an email address? [02:38] chris__, loop mount it and delete the blank file? [02:38] chris__: how can i say i want it to contain the contents of my starting.iso file? it has bootsector stuff in it [02:38] asdf1232, loop mount it and delete whatever your blank space file is [02:38] escott = gentleman and scholar [02:39] asdf1232, escott if you were wanting to take an iso to cd you would do 'cat file.iso > /dev/sr0' [02:39] escott, I repartitioned and formatted the WD 500 GB USB Drive and it seems to be loading the partials fine now and the partials are downloading normally [02:40] ok... now that i'm here. how can I find out why aptitude won't upgrade a couple of packages? [02:40] chris__, that would be in the style of unix, but it doesnt work that way unfortunately. you can install wodim and use it to burn [02:40] what i mean is my starting iso is 4gb used, out of 6gb space, i want it to be 4gb out of 4gb instead without mucking up the content and bootsector data in it [02:41] escott, asdf1232 I thought that was what I had done to burn my iso, but I also used a usb so I was technically not burning a cd === iron_man is now known as Guest88610 [02:41] maheanuu, i would still RMA. im very skeptical you will have success with this drive now that it has already started to fail [02:42] I have a corrupted 4 gig micro sd in an sd adapter plugged into an sd port. [02:42] asdf1232, what are you proposing to remove from it? [02:42] I'm running a lucid distro with enlightenment, and can't seem to recognize the disk. [02:42] Is there a tool I can use to help me recover the thing? [02:42] quit [02:42] maheanuu If the drive is new, the bad sectors will be marked as such and remapped, then the drive will use reserved space for such an issue to compensate, but if it IS failing and it is not a manufacturing process error, then RMA, still RMA'ing would be wise. [02:43] nothing the image has 6GB of space, but only 4GB of it is used, and im trying to make it burnable to dvd single layer [02:43] escott, I am in the middle of the south pacific, directly south of Hawaii, and we're all alone here and at about 150 dollars freight on a hard drive just to send it out is going to cost me over double the price of the drive even if they give me one [02:43] maheanuu Then buy a new one. [02:43] deepspeed try using ivman, i use openbox on minimal install and it gets recognized [02:43] deepspeed: lucid desktop is no longer supported [02:43] Or risk the chance of a complete failure. [02:43] ooh lucid, thought hardy :P [02:43] nevermind [02:44] Lucid Lynx is supported until April 2013 iirc? [02:44] escott, I dont have a cd to test out but would I do wodim file.iso [02:44] maheanuu, i get that but... you shouldnt have to pay for what UPS screwed up [02:44] limpc: seems I made a mistake, I remembered incorrectly that fsck would fix fat filesystems too. Have you tried the remount thing that is mentioned on top of the page I sent you previously? [02:44] deepspeed: This channel only supports official flavors of Ubuntu and respins, not derivitive distributions. Try your distro's support channel or ##linux. [02:44] I understand, and I will probably do it in July... My eagle doesn't bring me very much for a retirement [02:44] maheanuu Contact the reseller and the manufacturer, see if you can work something out. [02:45] I have no idea if UPS delivered it to the dealer here, but I will not be getting a new drive till monday as the weekend is upon us..... [02:45] chris__, don't have it installed but i believe wodim --data /path/to/file.iso /dev/sr1 would work. I usually like to throw in a --fixate and --eject and a -vv [02:45] I see some people who post issues like this on NewEgg and the manufacturer will sometimes respond and even send a new one completely free of shipping charge. [02:45] Hi I installed ubuntu to a flash drive, and I want to install some programs and keep them on the flash drive, how do i do that so they dont get lost [02:45] But nothing is garunteed. [02:45] I think that I will wait for the 1.5 TB drives to arrive. This drive cost me 15.900 francs which is almost 170 dollars [02:46] Stud-ubuntu Google persistent install [02:46] create a persistance file, I dont know how to do that command line [02:46] how do i do that [02:46] Jordan_U, so u're saying that since i have ubuntu server installed on this box but use openbox as a wm that this is not a ubuntu box? [02:46] Stud-ubuntu: I would highly recommend doing a normal install to the USB if you have enough space. [02:46] the usb flash drive is 7 GB [02:46] Stud-ubuntu You can find MANY guides via a Search Engine if you search "Ubuntu Flash Drive USB Persistent Install" [02:46] is that enough? [02:47] Jordan_U is correct, usually the minimum recommended is around 8GB [02:47] Stud-ubuntu, have you heard of the program on ubuntu named 'startup disk creator'? [02:47] crooper: No I never said that. If you're using only official Ubuntu repositories it's Ubuntu and supported here. [02:47] delac, let me see, cant get it remounted for some reason now. ill let you know [02:47] Stud-ubuntu, if you dont install any big programs and keep the music off of it you could probably make 7GB work [02:47] limpc: http://michael-peeters.blogspot.fi/2009/02/fixing-readonly-sd-card-reader-in.html [02:47] no i havent [02:47] yea i know the one you're talking about. [02:47] limpc: that is one option... :) [02:47] oh,ok i'll agree to that [02:48] how do i view the list of repositories that are available to install? [02:48] shrink the main partition and create a ext4 partition labeled 'casper-rw'...I think but I am not entirely sure [02:48] gksudo usb-creator-gtk [02:49] I'm outta here I have about 30 to 40 gigs of partial files to move from my drive on this box to the USB drive, it is gonna be great having working space on the notebook again [02:49] what is that? [02:49] its a gui program used to take isos and make bootable usbs or cds with a persistance file [02:50] can anyone help me understand the difference between a .tmux.conf .screenrc and other similar thing config files? [02:50] Stud-ubuntu, there are two ways you can use a USB. one is with a FAT32 filesystem and a special bootloader that can read a compressed file that contains the ext4 system. or as a direct ext4 system and the usb is treated as a normal drive. the usb-creator-gtk does the first [02:50] Stud-ubuntu, its how you would create an install liveusb [02:50] a perstance file saves your stuff so it does not get lost when you shutdown [02:50] Stud-ubuntu, where i mean a usb you could use as an installer on other machines [02:50] chris__: I was forced to use fat eariler today, the usb-creator-gtk didnt want to write on a ext4 partition [02:50] Unetbootin is the best way to make an install usb [02:51] delac, "mount: cannot remount block device /dev/sdc1 read-write, is write-protected" [02:51] why do you guys not recommend installing directly to the usb device? [02:51] MaynardWaters, not all bioses can boot it [02:51] I've got a usb drive and I want to put ubuntu on it, but I need some programs on that install. Is there a good way to do this? [02:51] escott: nice point. [02:52] !usb | melkor [02:52] melkor: 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 [02:52] If you have a Ubuntu machine to make a live cd, use AptonCD [02:52] i dont get it. it's not write protected. [02:52] limpc: that sounds like thesdcard has the write protection on [02:52] MaynardWaters, Your partition had filesystem errors, Try opening gparted and check and fix the filesystem [02:52] limpc: it does have the little knob? [02:53] yes [02:53] but its not in the lock position [02:53] is it a holiday? [02:53] limpc: try it on the other position? [02:53] but just for kicks, i changed its position to the other one [02:53] :) [02:53] its still giving me the write protection error [02:53] check for filesystem errors [02:53] limpc: hmm, maybe the switch is broken? === crooper is now known as Crooper [02:54] damn, torrenting at 1meg per second... it still takes almost 10 minutes to d/load. [02:54] limpc, you are planning to recover data right. so why not just dd off and work with the image? [02:54] i was unable to write to my entire hard drive because my filesystem was broken. Had to boot from a live cd and use gparted [02:54] limpc: or there is too much dust? (did you read that article?) [02:54] escott, no, i dont need to recover any data [02:54] im trying to dd an image TO the sd card [02:54] delac, its a brand new sd i just bought an hour ago [02:54] limpc, ok must have misread [02:54] PNY 32gb [02:55] limpc, or confused with someone else [02:56] limpc: well, then I recommend returning it to the store [02:56] ohhh. On a fat32 filesystem you can only have a 4gb persistance file which is why I shrunk the main partition and created the casper-rw. Fat32 has a max filesize of 4g-4k [02:56] limpc: and try another one [02:57] why won't aptitude upgrade 2 packages that are labeled to be upgraded... no errors print out either [02:57] limpc, are you sure the cardreader can handle 32 GB? [02:58] limpc: just checked the anatomy of the write protect switch - it cant be that [02:58] if it couldnt handle it wouldnt he just beable to use the space he could like 8gb [02:58] limpc: but it could be the slot. does any other card work there? [02:58] fat32 only takes files less than 4GB [02:58] OerHeks, it would be weird if it had a limit, it's just a glorified USB converter [02:58] my 32gb sd card was too big for my camera so It can only use 8gb [02:59] can he write to it if he creates a smaller partition? [03:00] log in as root to write to the usb. [03:00] delac, i dont have another card [03:00] limpc, how does dmesg recognize it [03:00] actually, mount the drive in a file manager, right-click the white-space, click properties, and see the permissions on the drive. [03:00] it's not the partition... he can have big partitions but the package being written to it can't be 4GB or bigger [03:00] escott, [12792.413355] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdc] 62552064 512-byte logical blocks: (32.0 GB/29.8 GiB) [03:00] yea, fat32 has a file size limit of 4 gigs. [03:01] though, 512 byte blocks is really crappy haha [03:01] but no partition size limit, though really, really big ones give it trouble sometimes. [03:01] limpc, 512 is standard. its actually really a big transition to change that [03:01] i have 32GB micros with fat32 on it but can't write anything 4GB or bigger [03:01] exactly [03:01] Crooper: isn't that a problem with fat32? [03:02] but can write 10 3 gig fies no prob. [03:02] escott, for fat perhaps. the standard otherwise is 4096 [03:02] that's fat32 for u. [03:02] i have 500GB hardrives that are fat32 [03:02] Crooper: that's somewhat crazy [03:02] it's only really a problem with big games, backups, and os install files. [03:02] FAT32 Has a limit by design for any file over 4GB [03:03] limpc, no thats the memory block size. check your hard disk, unless it is a brand new 2TB or larger disk it will have 512b blocks, and even if it is a 2TB WD "green" it will report 512b [03:03] You can make the partitions as large as you want, but any file trying to be written over 4GB won't work. [03:03] that's right the limit with fat32 is files can't be 4GB or bigger [03:03] I just use backup programs that cut the files into sized chunks, and only install os's less than 4 gigs..problem solved. [03:03] then youd go with ntfs [03:03] ext4* [03:03] limpc, so when you first plug this in it shows in mount as read only, and when you try sudo mount -o remount,rw /mountpoint it gives you the error [03:03] or ext4 [03:04] I need to look into the differences of ext4 and reiserfs. [03:04] limpc, is there an accompanying message in dmesg when you try to remount? [03:04] Ext4 Would be best. [03:04] but if you have a universal hardrive, winblows doesn't read ext4 [03:04] escott, hd on i took apart the media hub to clean out some dust [03:04] meh, I have dual boot system, but windows is squeezed neatly into the corner of the drive, and rarely used. [03:05] Crooper: I use ntfs, I think ext3 works with windows not by default but when you install the driver it works rather well. [03:06] unless u're running linux exclusively you want to use a windows safe format [03:06] linux reads windows [03:07] Crooper: the ntfs drivers are reverse engineered, the windows based ext drivers are open source for accessing an open source resource. [03:07] escott, when i plug in the device, dmesg still registers "write protect is on" [03:07] melkor that might be true but i don't trust alot of drivers in windows ( that's just my opinion) [03:07] i have a feeling that as long as it says that i cant remount [03:07] escott Samsung's 2TB EcoGreen Drives also uses the 4k method but can be reformatted to a layout of 512 with 4k Sector Boundies [03:08] melkor, on the other hand the ntfs-3g drivers are used by virtually every ubuntu and every mac osx user, while the windows drivers for ext* are only used by a few poeople [03:08] Crooper: we have two 1tb drives that cannot read/write past 600megs. The problem could be that the kernel in use is 2.6.10 or something unrully. [03:08] i have a WD 1tb green drive. [03:08] what system are you using to write/read with melkor / [03:09] Saeryn, yes, but my point is 512b is standard for disk block sizes (windows assumes all disks are 512b at the bottom), memory pages have been 4k for a while the transition was about 8 years ago? but thats memory pages not disk blocks [03:09] OH Ok. My bad :) [03:09] I misunderstood. [03:09] Crooper: it is an old fedora something or other. It is used as a server and should never have been. To make matters worse dev packages weren't installed so new/updated packages cannot be compiled. [03:10] ahhh, sounds frustrating melkor [03:10] Saeryn, yeah limpc was saying he thought a 512b block on a block device was weird. hence my comment that it wasnt [03:10] Crooper: well, it hasn't broken yet, but it just lacks all the new tools. [03:10] Ahhhhhhhh, I see now :) [03:11] recompile the kernel and then manually upgrade [03:11] hey guys whats the equivalent uI for Services in Windows? [03:11] **UI :) [03:11] mcored: just service [03:11] mcored, try KDE [03:12] mcored, im not sure there is a gui. there are too many init systems out there to support them all [03:12] i just wanna make sure quasselcore daemon starts whenever ubuntu starts [03:12] !upstart | mcored [03:12] mcored: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [03:12] mcored, it could be as simple as creating a file in /etc/init/quasselcore.conf [03:13] mcored, you can also ask in #quassel [03:13] mcored, if you dont want to go to that trouble you can just put it in /etc/rc.local [03:13] ok thanks escott [03:13] oh you really meant "Services" as in server ms 2008 [03:13] yes [03:14] as in services.msc [03:14] mcored, i ussually add something in my cron file [03:14] mcored, and thats the combination tool to control service starting/stopping and view logs right [03:15] that is true escott, so hoped to locate the quasselcore daemon and make sure it is at Autostart state [03:15] why is the 'size on disk' in lubuntu 7 times higher than the actual size? using 12.04 on a 40gb ext4 drive [03:15] so far i got Deluge and TeamViewer in Startup Applications in ubuntu so its ok [03:15] mcored, im fairly sure there is no gui for that [03:15] alright thanks guys :) loving the ubuntu server with deluge and quassel installed [03:16] all my window PCs can connect with ther clients to the cores installed in ubuntu [03:16] mcored, gui for stuff like that is ISPCongig, Webmin, and it think there's a couple more to be googled [03:16] !webmin [03:16] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [03:16] ouch [03:16] ISPConfig sorry [03:16] !ISPConfig [03:17] !ISPConfig3 [03:17] !SPConfig [03:17] !SPConfig3 [03:17] mcored, maybe if systemd becomes standard across all distros then there will be a tool that is the same, but until then there are just too many init daemons [03:17] /msg ubottu mcored Crooper [03:17] !lSPConfig3 [03:18] yes hello [03:18] and not enough developers interested in writing a gui for that. those who know enough about the init daemons to write a gui tool are probably more comfortable working with the text files in /etc/init [03:18] In gnome, how do I modify the list of "Places" on the left in file dialog boxes etc? [03:18] !askthebot | mcored [03:18] mcored: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [03:18] escott: Hey man [03:18] Yago, yes [03:18] escott: I just wanna say thank-you for everything [03:18] cheers escott [03:18] and for your patience [03:18] e.g. I have "Search", "Recently used".... "Downloads", "Videos", etc and I want a custom folder there as well [03:19] fn-troll, ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs [03:19] brb need more coffee [03:19] fn-troll, you could try and add a custom entry to that. not sure if it would work [03:19] i used to be able to call it java until java was invented [03:19] escott: I owe you alot [03:20] Yago, no problem. it wasnt a hard question, and that is what we are here for [03:20] thanks again. I hope to be back here soon :) [03:20] nite [03:21] ^j xarchlinux [03:21] hey what's the default username and password for ubuntu 12 live cd [03:21] meh [03:21] i was trying out something and to log out [03:21] had^ [03:21] it's requiring me to enter username and password [03:21] dyingloop, i didn't know there was one [03:21] dyingloop: Username: ubuntu, no password. [03:22] why is the 'size on disk' in the properties window 7 times higher than the actual size? === wilee-nilee is now known as Frank-N-Steen [03:22] mahir256, what file is this? [03:22] yeah tried different combinations [03:22] still nothing [03:23] dyingloop have you tried hitting enter twice? [03:23] mahir256: maybe it's a compressed file === bdfoster is now known as roundhole [03:24] dyingloop, Sometimes a LiveCD might ask you for a user-name or password. Just leave these blank and press enter (or allow it to time-out). === roundhole is now known as bdfoster [03:24] escott: that doesn't appear to work [03:24] dyingloop, but i think the username is supposed to be "ubuntu" with no password [03:24] don't suppose anyone in here has gotten Bastion from the humble indie bundle to work, have they? Especially on 10.04. I'm starting to think I may have to upgrade [03:25] ricree, is that not available from the software center now? is this bundle part five? [03:25] yeah, bazhang. bundle part five [03:25] dyingloop: Do Ctrl+Alt+F1 To go to a Virtual Terminal and see if it asks for a Login Credentials? [03:25] http://imgur.com/T78gn are my startup apps [03:26] I'll check. I installed the downloaded one. If there's one on the software center that might work better [03:26] oh well i had to restart it again [03:28] bazhang: yeah. it's on the software center, but only 11.10 and higher. I suppose it's getting time to upgrade anyways [03:28] @escott and @sacarlson: this is happening with all my files. using lubuntu 12.04 on a 40gb ext4 hdd [03:29] On that note, any suggestions for the best upgrade path from 10.04 to 12.04? Install the versions in place or save my home directory and reinstall? [03:29] this is bs [03:29] mahir256, can you maybe send a screenshot or something [03:30] i hacked the board itself.. disabled the SDWP pin on the chip [03:30] ricree, i would try the livecd first and read the release notes to see if you want to upgrade [03:30] but dmesg is still registering Write Protect on === archer is now known as Guest10215 [03:31] hey guys, i have a question. i have install gnome-shell on ubuntu 12.04, when i try to run it, login off of my sesion and put Gnome to run, starts gnome2, how i can start gnome3? [03:31] Shai, it might be that your graphics card is not powerful enough for shell or that you dont have the required drivers [03:32] @escott: can't send you a screenshot, sorry, but the file properties for / say 7.2 GB total size of files and 48.4 GB size on disk. (installed the os yesterday) [03:33] escott: i have a nvidia geforce 580mx, is very powerful, i think i dont have the drivers.. i will try to install and see it that fix my problem [03:33] mahir256, its probably just confused by some of the stuff in /proc or /sys [03:33] Sometimes my mousepad simulates a middle click randomly. Any new and exciting reason for that? [03:34] I have tap clicking disabled, so... [03:34] mahir256, see what it says for a folder that doesnt have all those special mounts underneath it [03:35] @escott: well, /proc and /sys return ~1.6 GB total size and no size on disk [03:35] escott, i think i may have found the problem [03:35] i suspect the chip doesnt support SDHC, only SD [03:35] so though it can read it wont write [03:36] limpc, im surprised it can read it at all, but sure [03:36] ricree: You could upgrade directly too. Don't have to reinstall. [03:36] well it may just be able to read the sd card info, e.g. size [03:36] limpc, ok you havent read any data off it yet [03:36] ok [03:36] yeah theres nothing on it to begin with [03:37] its a brand new sd card [03:37] Flannel: Any idea how serious the recommendation to wait for the July release is? [03:37] july release? [03:37] limpc, is it an older computer? [03:37] @escott: while the rest of the directories is 5.7 GB total size of files and 48.6 GB size on disk [03:38] Crooper, my system is custom built. but the sd card is from an older HP bay slot that had a built-in all-in-one card reader [03:38] mahir256, baobob can help you narrow down where this is coming from. do you have encrypted home? [03:38] @escott: and my nearly-empty-except-for-configs home directory is 104.8 MB total size and 820.6 MB size on disk [03:38] @escott: no my /home is not encrypted [03:39] i kinda hacked it to work on my system (rewired the pin config to work in a standard onboard usb pinout) [03:39] limpc, i have seen problems with sd and sdhc but only in readers 8 years or older [03:39] Crooper, hmm its not quite that old. maybe 3 years old [03:40] anyway it wont let me mount it as read/write no matter what i do [03:40] i even disabled the physical pin on the chip in the reader (pin 74 of the AU6375 chip) [03:40] and its still registering it as write-protected [03:40] then that shouldn't be a problem unless it's one of those new high performance sd's [03:41] mahir256, maybe someone forgot to divide by 8 in the code. i dont know what filemanager you are using that is reporting these numbers but try baobob [03:41] @escott: using pcmanfm 0.9.10 [03:42] Crooper, its this one http://www3.pny.com/32GB-Premium-Secure-Digital-High-Capacity-SDHC-Class-4-P2676C476.aspx?UserID=51492332&SessionID=LNYcLPgq7xcYhIbqNqTy [03:42] Hello...I would like a recommendation for a good torrent program: preferrably command line, encryption/port features, daemon based, with optional gui/text based configuration. Suggestions? [03:42] mahir256, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=115516 [03:42] have any of you ran the command 'whatis linux' [03:42] ATTENTION UBUNTU BABIES, SUDO RM -RF / MAKES YOU GOD [03:42] wow someone has issues [03:42] yeah, one of those... that's more in likely your problem... newer card and older reader [03:43] that doesnt work savlor [03:43] thats the 2nd time he came in here with that crap [03:43] ...you can remove him? [03:43] i.e. ban? [03:43] @escott: thank you so much [03:43] Crooper, probably. ill buy a new reader tmw [03:43] with ubuntu youd need to do sudo rm -rf /* [03:43] hmmm now im getting a cannot find glibc error [03:43] chris__: I'm kinda tempted to setup a vm to test this now :D [03:43] chris__: Debian happily removed / [03:44] lorddelta, its fun to do at some point [03:44] hi folks. i installed oracle java7 on ubuntu, according to: http://askubuntu.com/questions/55848/how-do-i-install-oracle-java-jdk-7 java -version shows the right thing for me; however, in my son's account, java doesn't appear to be installed [03:44] lorddelta, JoshDreamland Id actually tryed it out. sudo rm -rf / doesnt work but sudo rm -rf /* does [03:44] also, how can you uninstall firefox without installing chromium? or vice versa? every time i uninstall one the other HAS to be reinstalled, even though i have both midori and seamonkey as defaults [03:44] what's the missing link? [03:44] jamiejackson, sun java can no longer be distributed by cannonical [03:45] escott, do 'whatis linux' [03:45] hi escott, i didn't do it from apt [03:45] Hey... [03:45] I wonder if you could run torrent over websockets... [03:45] Prolly can. [03:46] (sorry just learning the protocols) [03:46] jamiejackson, so its the same machine and you did the update-alternatives bit? what does his java show? [03:47] "The program 'java' can be found in the following packages: ..." <= like it's not installed, escott . same machine that i did the update-alternatives, and my account seems to be good [03:47] jamiejackson, what is his path? [03:48] $PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [03:48] jamiejackson, and ls -l /usr/bin/java says what? [03:49] what do the command "sudo apt-get --purge"? [03:49] escott: /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java [03:50] and what does /etc/alternatives/java point to [03:50] escott: Figured it out. It's "Add bookmark" from within Nautilus [03:50] fn-troll, ok... not sure what the question was anymore [03:50] escott: /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/java [03:51] 22:18:32 < fn-troll> In gnome, how do I modify the list of "Places" on the left in file dialog boxes etc? [03:51] fn-troll, ok [03:51] * Crooper does a dance [03:51] jamiejackson, and in his account /usr/bin/java --version says what [03:52] ah, permissions issue [03:52] he's got permission denied, escott [03:52] seriously, why does apt/synaptic do this alternation of browsers? [03:53] shai, man apt-get | grep -C3 purge [03:53] escott: thanks [03:54] mahir256, i just 'sudo apt-get remove firefox' [03:55] aha, escott, the oracle java folder belongs to me [03:55] jamiejackson, also you really should not have installed to /usr/lib. you should have installed to either /usr/local or /opt. those are the only two folders that apt is not supposed to control [03:56] @Crooper: hmmm, so it didn't work when uninstalling chromium, but it worked when uninstalling firefox. thanks again! [03:56] mahir256, yw [03:56] mahir256, did you say chromium or chromium-browser? [03:57] ok, escott, just following http://askubuntu.com/questions/55848/how-do-i-install-oracle-java-jdk-7 <= maybe i'll say something [03:57] mahir256, i just 'sudo apt-get remove chromium-browser' [03:57] jamiejackson, yeah you should [03:58] escott, u're on the ball aren't you? [03:58] go ahead wit ur bad self [03:59] Crooper, ok? [03:59] @escott: i tried both chromium and chromium-browser. anyway the problem has been rectified - in other news, why is seamonkey no longer part of the main repositories? [04:00] it was a compliment [04:00] mahir256, chromium is a 2d side scroller.... fun but not a browser [04:00] !info chromium [04:00] Package chromium does not exist in precise === Rez is now known as LoRez [04:00] maybe they renamed it b/c of confusion [04:01] !info chromium-bsu [04:01] chromium-bsu (source: chromium-bsu): fast paced, arcade-style, scrolling space shooter.

Hate hate hate hate LOATHE. What are her options? In particular, the whole thing with the dock hiding windows and making it impossible to flip between them without complex and counter-intuitive mouse calisthenics? Dead loss. Took me a year to get used to it, but she hates it. [04:02] !notunity [04:02] 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 [04:02] escott, I just learned a new command. Have you ever used the write command? [04:03] why when i try to run gnome-shell (is just installed on my pc) runs gnome2...? [04:03] chris__, yes and no. the problem with write is that sure you can write to someone, but its soooooo infrequently used that im not sure i would even recognize if another user did write to me === wylde_ is now known as wylde [04:04] shai, (a) are you selecting gnome-shell or gnome-panel (b) [at least in 11.10] it had a fallback mode that looked like gnome2 but was really gnome3 based [04:04] !fallback [04:04] anyone know how to add a comment to an answer in askubuntu.com? i logged in, and i seem to be able to *edit* an answer, but i don't see how to comment [04:05] escott, could the write command be disabled. Someone could create a script to annoy another user and id like to be able to stop it [04:05] escott: Thx. [04:05] jamiejackson, click on "improve this answer" [04:05] escott: i have ubuntu 12.04, i think is gnome-shell but i not shure... i think is gnome.shell and it looks like gnome2 (i said that because the notifications of sound and things like that are of the gnome3) [04:05] how i can fix it? [04:06] shai, what does ps aux | grep gnome-panel say? [04:06] escott: semasad 15424 2.5 0.7 638156 31636 ?

[04:07] shai, so you are running panel which is a forwardported version of the panel from gnome2 to gtk3 (But many applets were lost) so yes it basically is gnome2. if you are selecting shell and getting panel its probably a graphics card issue [04:07] jamiejackson, below the answer above the comments to the answer [04:07] escott: i have recent install the graphic card driver... [04:08] shai, you could try gnome-shell --replace in terminal and see what it says === erry_ is now known as erry [04:08] ssh problems,how to join [04:09] chris__, man write indicates users can block write from all but root with mesg [04:09] !details | assenga [04:09] assenga: Please give us full details.

[04:10] escott: i do the command, and i log off... the same problem... starts gnome2... [04:10] shai, you mean your gui crashes and you have to login again? [04:10] ubottu:i dont understand your prob... [04:10] assenga: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:11] escott: mmm... no, something (i think the gui) have said have break... but dosent close... i log off... [04:11] shai, you are forcibly logged out when you run gnome-shell --replace [04:11] assenga, type 'man ssh' in your terminal and it'll give you instructions [04:12] escott: no... i log off manualy.... [04:12] shai, im confused. why are you logging out? [04:12] escott: to restart the gui... [04:12] shai, why? [04:13] thangs Crooper [04:13] assenga, yw [04:13] escott: to try reboot gnome, and see if that can fix my problem... [04:13] shai, do you want to restart gnome shell? [04:13] Hello, could someone please help me with a port forward/remote server config issue. I'll pm as to not spam the room. [04:13] escott, am i blind? http://imagebin.org/214824 [04:13] shai, i thought the problem was that you wanted gnome-shell. so you run gnome-shell --replace and what happens? [04:13] Abhijit: nop... i have install gnome-shell but starts gnome2 [04:14] ok [04:14] jamiejackson, try "edit" next to "link" below "How do I install Oracle's JDK 6" [04:14] escott: ubuntu pop out a mensage of error, but dosent force to me to reboot. [04:14] you mean it does the gnome shell fallback mode.. [04:14] shai: you have insgtalled the3d drivers for your system? [04:14] shai, so you get an error but gnome-shell doesn't start. what was the error [04:15] If not, could someone direct me to a room that may be better suited? The server is running ubuntu 12.04, that's why i came here [04:15] escott, it could be annoying for someone to do 'while(true); do sudo cat /* | write chris; done' - found another use for "|" [04:15] escott: yeah i seem to be able to edit, but not to comment :-/ [04:15] smatt454, #ubuntu-server [04:15] smatt454, what is the problem? [04:15] thank you [04:15] escott: the clasic error of ubuntu founds an error on something... and report it... and on the terminal says: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [04:15] shai, you dont have the drivers for opengl on you computer [04:16] crooper,my compiz in ubuntu 12.04 have conflicts always why [04:16] shai: you have installed the 3d drivers for your system? [04:16] dr_willis: i dont think... [04:16] chris__, these days most people wont even have a tty to write to. so its all rather moot [04:16] shai: sowhats your video card? [04:17] assenga, i can't help with that one... i don't use compiz [04:17] dr_willis: is a nvidia geforce 520mx...

[04:20] assenga, what video card are you using, what plugins are you running, and what kind of usage usually prompts it to freeze? [04:20] oops [04:21] smatt454,i use nvidia cuardo,i try to run rotating cubes,freeze for atlanta [04:21] assenga: its best that you forget about tht cube.. unity and the cube can have issues [04:22] many compiz settings can mess with unity [04:22] am I still online? [04:22] assenga, I agree. The cube can cause conflicts in many instances. [04:22] damn [04:22] I do like it, but sometimes it's just not worth it [04:22] I have been idle here for a while, how do I find out? [04:23] swooshonln: hmm? [04:23] you see messages? :) then yoiu are online [04:23] dr_willis,what are problems with these cubes because they seems they are very bad to comp.. [04:24] assenga: problem line... compiz crashing, or unity crashing... 'friends dont let friends use the cube' [04:24] how do I find out how long I have been online for? === joel is now known as Guest18608 [04:24] on a IRC client, is there a command?

[04:25] swooshonln: check the timestamp of he first message in the log? [04:25] swooshonln: to do what exactly? this is irc.. of course you are on an irc client. ;) [04:26] dr_wills,so which are safe and best effect to run [04:26] assenga: best.. leave it alone.. use the defaults.. dont play with ccsm [04:26] anybody know about unmet dependencies in flash plugins?/ [04:26] assenga, right click on your destop and undo graphic effects [04:26] samtt454,to do with these cubes [04:26] dr_willis, yes exactly my point. There are universal commands. Is there some one like /info that shows you online statistics? [04:27] swooshonln: try /whois yournick [04:27] assenga, I mainly use the cubes when I'm using nothing else that is resource intensive. [04:27] dr_wills,thangs [04:27] the cubes best use - to show off to windows users. ;) [04:27] let's say i'm on irc, programming, playing a game of chess, etc [04:27] i forgot my sql password. how to recover it ? [04:28] dr_willis, thanks man. 5 days idle!

If it was a decision of the administration, it would be campaign fodder for the opposition, because the administration would be sacrificing national security for political reasons. If it was a decision of an individual acting alone, he or she probably doesn't want to share a cell with Bradley Manning. [04:30] oops :) [04:30] assenga, do you have a root password or another user with root access? [04:31] Linuxero: what i meant to say was: http://pastie.org/ [04:31] smatt454> i need to add some repository for this ? do you have some XD [04:31] smatt454,a root password [04:31] su [04:31] gigglesworth:thanku [04:32] assenga there is no root password, the first user has sudo/root priv. so how did you delete it tru terminal? [04:32] !su [04:32] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

[04:36] i have four HDDs all together, 2 of which i am prepared to format and mount as / and /home [04:36] the other 2 HDDs are exFAT and i will be using them as well [04:38] mcored, exFat? === ad is now known as Guest99775 [04:42] hello, I'm in a bit of a catch 33... I'm on 9.04, and it won't let me go to 9.10 (errors out mid source detection) Where can I get 10.04? (I can't go directly to 12.04 due to PAE issue) [04:43] panterarav: You can change your sources to point to old-releases.ubuntu.com, and that'll have 9.10 (so you can upgrade). Or you can reinstall with 10.04, from 10.04 discs, releases.ubuntu.com [04:44] http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ [04:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Jaunty [04:45] fastest way is backup data & reinstall [04:45] that avoids the old grub upgrade problems too [04:45] wouldn't it be cool if everytime you reinstalled buntu, the installer would place al your data and settings into a file called ubuntu.old [04:47] ok, so better to start with lucid it appears. [04:48] If I boot into text mode without the nvidia driver installed the screen is unreadable, ironically i'm trying to boot to the text mode to install the new 173 driver a from nvidia.. [04:48] This adventure started when I thought it would be cool to stick an IDE SSD in my T42 laptop. lol Only to find PAE was an issue with 12.04... and then the mini.iso won't do 48bit lba LOL [04:48] managed to get 9.04 to see the SSD properly and lay down a small grub /boot and I thought I was golden ... [04:49] Will download and give lucid a spin. Much appreciated! [04:49] 10-4 [04:49] Anyone have a solution with maybe a grub kernel boot option? [04:50] !nomodeset [04:50] 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.

[04:57] They'll tout it as a feature :] [04:57] _ari: pastebin it [04:58] _ari: When you say bat do you mean DOS batch file? [04:59] what makes a .deb file specifically different from an ar file? how would i got about creating a valid .deb file by just using tar, gzip, and ar? I wouldn't be using this .deb file for a repository, it's mainly for my own knowledge [04:59] <_ari> dj_segfault: yes, but 4 lines long.. it probably is just copying some files so maybe i can do this manually.. or somebody can translate it to a shell script [04:59] <_ari> will pastebin [04:59] <_ari> w8 [04:59] Ah, then it's relevant.

[05:17] _ari: The problem is the current directory isn't in your path. Glad I could help. [05:17] onizu, check the manual. sometimes it is just 0000 [05:18] onizu: you my need to do something on the mouse to initiate pairing. Most BT devices have that [05:18] in the manual it says - check "don't use a passcode" [05:18] onizu so anyone can use your mouse? very safe ! [05:19] dj_segfault, yeah, i pressed the connect button, as per the manual, the green light blinks for pairing.. the problem is in ubuntu it keeps prompting me that a mouse is trying to connect and whether to authorise. I keep clicking "Accept" but never goes away.. [05:20] onizu: is this from the bluetooth manager? [05:20] i don't know from where [05:21] a notification pops up on the tray [05:21] sacarlson, thank you but i don't want to use dpkg in general, i'm trying to figure out what dpkg does that ar doesn't [05:21] Hi!

[05:22] well, i'll try rebooting === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:24] sacarlson, tar replaced ar but .deb files use the ar format. i'm not sure if tar would work also. ar is a unix archive utility [05:25] allejo: yes I just looked it up, you can also uncopress .deb files as they are just a compressed set of files [05:26] allejo: just the renamed end to *.deb is normaly auto selected to be acted opon by dpkg to install on a debian/ubuntu env [05:27] sacarlson, yes, I figured out the uncompression part but I can't seem to put everything back together in order to be a valid .deb file that dpkg can read [05:27] allejo: that's all auto done with the tools I showed you [05:28] HI ALL [05:28] I may sound stubborn or ignorant right now, but I want to learn how those tools work and what they do that's special. i've been reading through the dpkg source and no luck lately [05:28] allejo: there are documents on the deb format if you want to work without the tools [05:28] what is the top bar of ubuntu window called [05:29] hi [05:29] oohh where would those documents be? I haven't found anything on the .deb format that doesn't mention to make the .deb file with dpkg [05:29] OerHeks, do you know [05:30] what is the top bar of ubuntu window called [05:31] allejo: there are tons of info on them but look for debian in your search http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-pkg_basics.en.html [05:33] allejo: dpkg I think is used to install not make, if you want to make you should reverse enginer the tool dpkg-buildpackage [05:34] there's the --build option for dpkg also. but i'll look at dpkg-buildpackage also maybe i can have some luck there [05:34] whats up with the changes display in update manager? essentially none of my updates pending has the "list of changes" displayed?

[06:15] hi Guys, I have a program in C++ that runs with the root priviledges. Its using the setuid(0) in the main function to start the daemon program. I was trying to make it for the normal to run it. Could anyone of you help me achieving that? [06:15] ok well I willlet it run for another day and see if it happens again [06:15] Thanks guys [06:15] 'make it for the normal to run it' means what: [06:17] dr_willis, i am trying to code it for normal user. [06:18] So... I have an interesting situation, I just replaced my wifi card in my laptop (HP Envy 3D) to supposedly an Atheros Card, but both windows and Ubuntu claim that it's not the card, in fact I think it's still thinking it's the original card, lscpi output is 09:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6230 [8086:0090] (rev 34), ifconfig says the mac address is 88:53:2e:70:a3:32... the sticker on the card itself says the MAC address [06:18] is 00:17:C4:EF:FD:CC... anyone seen anything like this? Did I taken when I bought my "Atheros" card? [06:18] code that is ran by a normal user that then exclates itself to root priviliages? sounds like a huge security hole. [06:19] amanthakur: i think you would be better off using sudo, or suid the binary as needed. but i dont code much ;) [06:19] dr_willis, actually program is using sticky bit permission right now to run it through a script. [06:19] Ritlee: ive seen some laptops have a locked down list of what wireless cards work with them. No idea if this is the case in your problem or not. [06:20] Ritlee: what if you removce the card and power up. What does it report then? [06:20] can someone help me out? im trying to use hyperterminal with my 3g modem but it keeps scrolling the signal strength (rssi:6). anyone know how to turn that off? [06:20] dr_willis, would that still allow the supposed atheros to function under the name of the Intel? [06:20] where do start? recovery mode hangs too [06:21] Ritlee: no idea. be interesting if it reports the same card.. even if its been removed, [06:21] ping [06:21] DonaldKeyz: live cd perhaps? [06:21] dr_willis, I haven't removed the new card yet... it's another step I'm going to be doing, just wanted to see if anyone has seen this before === mint is now known as c31r2g [06:22] Ritlee: ive just heard that some laptops somehow are locked down where they only work with specific wireless cards. Been ages since ive looked into it [06:22] is anybody in here good at device drivers, and if so, wanna help an Ubuntu newbie out? [06:22] !ask [06:22] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [06:23] ok gotcha [06:23] dr_willis, well I'll see what shows up, as well as what MAC is on the old card (isn't on the card itself where I can read it) [06:24] i am using Ubuntu 11.10.

I am trying to install a RT2860 Ralink 80211n pci card on my desktop running Ubuntu 10.04. Not real sure how to do it, but I have the driver. Can anyone help me out? [06:31] dr_willis, here's an interesting turn of events... I supposedly have no wifi card installed... I'm guessing this mini-pcie port that is under the battery cover is not where the wifi adapter is... even though there are two leads that looks just like the antenna leads [06:32] Ritlee: the extent of my laptop wifi knowledge. is basically removeing them from broken laptops - and putting them in a box.. just in case i need them for some other laptpops :) [06:32] Hi john, have u tried to installl firmware-ralink wireless-tools? [06:33] you can install firmware-ralink wireless-tools , maybe it help ... [06:34] ok, well i'm gonna see if google can tell me where this wifi adapter is ;) [06:34] and try this command #iwconfig [06:35] Hi all [06:35] where would I get a copy of those tools, and since I am dual booting (as I cant get online in linux) can I download what I need on my windows side? [06:35] dr_willis: what does that mean ? setuid, i dont understand entirely [06:35] hi, i saw something where you can run windows apps on the linux gui, not with wine but sort of rdesktop'ish, but the win apps are directly on the linux gui, how do you do this/where can i get info ? [06:36] qawsedrf1: what part of it dont you unserstand? You want a executable to run as root, you can set its suid bit. like mentioned at [06:36] http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid [06:36] VectorX, teamviewer?

[07:20] Everytime i start ubuntu when not at home, i get during the splash very long boot times and "waiting for network" and something about 60 seconds, and the nm-connection-editor can not enable wireless any more, i had to use a cable just to be able to connect to IRC [07:20] when i am at home it works perfectly, as i installed ubuntu-desktop from over the net install and put in the SSID and password at install- [07:21] so my real question is in short: How do i add additional network-ssid [07:21] s and [07:21] passwords [07:22] scan for available networks [07:23] wireless should be turned on though [07:24] best nsfw desktop evar.. http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-4fc9bf62f36398.32804097.png [07:24] jk [07:25] tuxgeek, i have it scanned and i see other networks [07:25] so what do you wanna do? [07:25] but i want to add additional SSID's [07:25] so i can use it directly [07:26] it is done in /etc/network/interfaces i think [07:26] but i do not remember [07:28] my current ssid is "wpa-ssid Dan" i could change this manually every time i boot, but i would prefer to add all of the ones i use. [07:29] i know what you mean [07:30] great [07:30] still trying to figure out which config file you have to edit [07:30] it is the /etc/network/interfaces [07:31] if you"re so sure then edit the entries [07:31] what's are you waiting for?

[10:57] sacarlson: fair enough [10:58] sacarlson: I need some time to install 11.04 on both sides, so I can test with either on client and server [10:58] xharx: do you have a partition available that has the space you are looking for? if so you can copy your directory into a part of it then delete your original directory and create a sybolic at the original location to the new path [11:01] sacarlson: do i keep the files in the directory when I proceed like this? [11:01] i have an empty partition [11:01] xharx: you can rename the original directory to be safe [11:01] ok [11:02] xharx: you can man ln; or you can create links from nautilus [11:10] hi, I'm trying to set a ssh access between my Windows 7 host and my Ubuntu Server 12 guest. In virtualbox I added a second adapter and set it up to "host only adapter". My first adapter is set to NAT. When I do a ifconfig to my ubuntu eth1 doesn't appear, so I added the following lines to /etc/network/interface http://pastebin.com/wA8qYYuF and the sudo ifup eth1 but when I try to ssh using [11:10] putty to the ubuntu the connection is refused, I don't understand [11:11] koskoz set the adapter to 'bridged', to make a logical bridge to your existing network [11:11] koskoz: set up the adapter to bridge [11:11] anyone knows anything about setting up sshfs to act as a server on ubuntu 12?

USB does work [11:13] mbucko sshfs is a way to connect to a remote pc, what do you mean exactly? [11:13] mbucko: install the ssh server [11:13] and any client could then connect to your ubuntu system with sshfs [11:13] MonkeyDust, curiousx: but if I do that, the vm will be visible on my entire network [11:14] i would like to mount my homes pcs drive into my netbook over internet [11:14] mbucko: and what os is on the netbook?

I'm not sure on all my hardware and software, and do not know how to determine what i have. [13:46] lspci would be the first step [13:46] having a look at dmesg output would be another step [13:46] like [13:46] Say you've got USb devices, you could do [13:47] dmesg | grep usb to see what's there [13:47] lspci will enumerate PCI devices [13:47] alright, i pulled up both of those commands === scp1 is now known as fortplanteringst [13:48] lspci should give a fairly comprehensive list of what's in the machine. [13:48] canon has very poor linux support with a lot of their hardware [13:52] i think the problem is somewhere between my tv/monitor and my graphics card (vizio and radeon hd 6450) because sometimes I'll have something playing on my computer and switch over to a different input on my tv; but when i switch back to my computer, i have no sound (sometimes i still will have sound) [13:52] Pulse audio will still show that something is playing, but i won't get any sonud [13:52] sound* [13:55] any thoughts? or is this definately not an ubuntu problem? [13:57] clark: Smells like your TV, actually. I find that with my television, if the FIOS channel changes from 480 to 720, then sometimes the sound won't catch up correctly and I have to switch inputs to component back to HDMI before it starts working. [13:58] clark: I really doubt that an audio stream on a PC, once working, will magically stop because you changed an input. [13:58] I'll surely buy that, because i was thinking the same thing [13:59] thank-you [14:02] I just installed 12.04 on a new Amd a6 system. Apparently the installer likes the graphics, but once I boot, screen goes dark. I know it boots becuase I can ping and also do ctrl-alt-del to reboot. [14:02] So the graphics card is a problem for it. [14:03] Is there a way I can fix this? [14:03] hey [14:03] If I modify the grub.conf, do i need to run grub-install again?

U1 notes sync still down :( === winut_ is now known as winut === Guest85406 is now known as wN [15:40] hi [15:40] I'm having problems getting sound in Rakarrack 6.03 on Ubuntu 12.04LTS [15:40] suspecting Jack [15:42] my mouse doesn't always work in ubuntu 11.10 for some reason [15:42] Hi everyone. I had a question about Precise. I'm using the 64-bit edition, and when I log in to Unity 3d, I have graphical glitches. [15:43] i have an alienware m17x R3 laptop, and my touchpad doens't always work right [15:43] I upgraded from Oneiric. I had used Ubuntu Tweak to make certain features transparent (such as window titlebars) that aren't officially supported (I guess?) I was wondering if that could've caused this, and if I need to do a fresh install of Precise. [15:43] When I connecting my headphones to laptop, the speakers is still working. Where is the problem? [15:43] lol [15:43] MC10vin, what version? At least for me, that issue stopped on my Compaq presario cq60 after Maverick. [15:44] scottamunga, 12.04 [15:44] Mc10vin, oh sorry [15:44] scottamunga, HP dv7 [15:45] 361635 [15:45] Mc10vin, I haven't read through this, but I did a quick google search for "HP dv7 headphone jack sense Ubuntu" and this bug report on Launchpad came up: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/433683 [15:45] Launchpad bug 433683 in linux (Ubuntu) "HP Pavilion dv7 2108 doesn't mute speakers & switch output to headphones when they are plugged in" [Wishlist,Fix released] [15:48] although, it seems to be from 2009. I wonder why in the world it's still affecting you. :( [15:48] Just wondering if anyone had any idea about my issue. [15:48] I upgraded from Oneiric. I had used Ubuntu Tweak to make certain features transparent (such as window titlebars) that aren't officially supported (I guess?) I was wondering if that could've caused this, and if I need to do a fresh install of Precise. [15:49] There are graphical glitches when booting into Unity 3d (but not Unity 2d) [15:49] MCl0vin, if I find anything I'll let you know [15:50] also, random question, but does anybody use Jupiter in Precise? Notice any power savings? [15:52] Hi everyone. I have issue with power adapter in ubuntu 11.10, on alienware m17xR3 laptop. when it is plugged in when the OS loads to the desktop, there is no issue. However, after the OS has loaded, if I unplug the adapter and then replug it in, the power icon on the desktop stills shows it on battery power and the battery discharging, and I cannot get it to see the power adapter plugged in. [15:52] Hello guys, i got some problems with my wireless card, and i need to change it from n to g mode in order to get it working with my router. How can i do that? [15:53] MobileXMan, does the battery still drain, or charge? Maybe as a workaround, you could set the battery indicator to only show up when charging/discharging? [15:54] I've noticed graphical glitches when logging into Unity 3d. I upgraded from Oneiric. I had used Ubuntu Tweak to make certain features transparent (such as window titlebars) that aren't officially supported (I guess?) I was wondering if that could've caused this, and if I need to do a fresh install of Precise. [15:54] scottamunga, i am not sure if the battery actually discharges or not when the adapter is plugged in, but ubuntu thinks it is discharging, so when it reaches a point to where its close to being drained (in Ubuntu's mind), it will try to hibernate. [15:54] hi everyone! what's a good way to use a web proxy in ubuntu that requires authentication? i don't really like to add the user/pass in plain text to 'System Settings → Network → Network proxy'. [15:54] The Ubuntu Tweak settings are no longer there [15:55] What's a good and easy to configure HTTP proxy? [15:55] Squit [15:55] *squid [15:55] squid [15:56] MobileXMan, I'm by no means an expert, but let me search for your problem and see what comes up [15:56] Thanks [15:56] what's the computer model again? [15:56] scottamung, its an alienware m17xR3 laptop [15:56] alright, brb [15:57] test. hello [15:57] is there a way to get ubuntu 11.10/12.04 to not capture Alt-~? [15:58] I'm having sound problems with Rakarrack. [15:59] MobileXMan, here's something about the m17xR2 laptop. It mentioned problems with the BIOS. Have you upgraded your BIOS? [15:59] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1506490 [16:00] Anybody ever install Ubuntu on a Dell Precision M4300? [16:00] scottamunga. No, I have not upgraded my BIOS since I bought it. i have the A09 BIOS version. [16:00] oh ok, so this is info isn't even relevant [16:00] It did mention something about disabling Hybrid [16:00] Hello guys !!! [16:00] Idk what this, because I've never owned an Alienware computer [16:01] does that have to do with power management in the gfx card? [16:01] Long live 12.04 [16:01] hi obakfahad [16:01] * MCl0vin hates 12.04 [16:01] Hi, Is there someone who can help me to get libncursesw.so.5? [16:01] Hello scottamunga [16:01] hey MCl0vin, also, did you have problems with ubuntu on your laptop before 12.04? [16:01] What are you using scottamunga ? [16:02] I've had graphical issues myself (obviously) [16:02] obakfahad, I'm using 12.04 on a compaq presario cq60 [16:02] I agree 12.04 is my favourite ubuntu version so far [16:02] I am in 12.04 32 bit...in acer aspire 4738z . scottamunga [16:02] agreed david. I feel it's much more polished, although I wish I had fewer problems with it [16:03] Does anyone use Unity? [16:03] Very very good release [16:03] scottamunga, don't recall if i did or no with this specific issue!! but since i have installed 12.04 it is giving me hell every f**king time [16:03] ASMODEUS_, I do. I used to hate it (I liked gnome 2 with docky.) but I've grown accustomed to it. [16:04] I also am having issues running certain windows software for my work and a steam game, so I still have to use windows a bit. [16:04] MCl0vin mind your language and don't use ubuntu if you don't like it [16:04] 12.04 is like 2014 Lexus with a 79 honda engine to me [16:04] Same but now since I started using it, I tend to drag my cursor into the top left corner of my screen when I use Windows. [16:05] I've noticed graphical glitches when logging into Unity 3d. I upgraded from Oneiric. I had used Ubuntu Tweak to make certain features transparent (such as window titlebars) that aren't officially supported (I guess?) I was wondering if that could've caused this, and if I need to do a fresh install of Precise. [16:05] scottamung, idk, but i'm using the 2GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 675M card [16:05] Does anybody get garbled text with libcairo2 and Nouveau (nvidia drivers)? [16:05] MonkeyDust, or else what? [16:05] do you know if you're using the latest nvidia drivers (under Additional Drivers) [16:06] Hi! I've got a question... This morning ubuntu says my screen is a screen of a laptop. And I only can select resolutions for a laptop screen... and there isn't an option to say it isn't a laptop screen [16:07] yes, i have installed the nvdia additional drivers which fixed an issue having to use the "nomodeset" option in the grub entry when booting ubuntu [16:07] cyf3r: my PC screen also thinks it's a laptop :) [16:07] ok. As I said, I'm by no means an expert, just trying to go through everything I can think of. [16:07] hi guys - I have a question. I was going to install Ubuntu via the wubi installer. I was wondering, how can I choose to boot either between Ubuntu or Windows once I have everything installed? [16:07] but I don't really see a problem with that [16:08] its a problem cause I can't select the correct resolution [16:08] but it sounds like you've done everything you can at this point. I'd just keep searching the web for answers, and also, hopefully someone will come in who knows a bit about this. [16:09] 1 more thing MobileXMan: have you tried askubuntu.com? I think the devs answer questions there. [16:09] nvmd... It's fixed now :/ [16:09] cyf3r: strange. I suppose there's a config file you can add your preferred resolution to. aren't you using a lcd? [16:09] another question i have, how can i make konsole my default terminal in 12.04 [16:10] scottamunga, not yet. i will try that next. [16:10] and then also the ubuntu forums [16:10] daze: It works fine now.... its just that sometimes ubuntu switches the resolution when I restart my pc [16:10] but thanks for the help. [16:11] how can i make konsole my default terminal in 12.04 please [16:11] MobileXMan, sorry I couldn't help more. I know it's frustrating when you have an issue and can't find a solution. [16:11] has anybody compiled the LibSS7 library with cgg? I keep getting tons of error messages while compiling it :s [16:11] i turn to like it better than the default [16:13] hi guys - I have a question. I was going to install Ubuntu via the wubi installer. I was wondering, how can I choose to boot either between Ubuntu or Windows once I have everything installed? [16:13] Ahoj potřeboval bych pomoc [16:18] Hi, I'm a linux newbie, installing ubuntu for the first time, and I'm some problems [16:19] sharky1: a question - otherwise no one answers :D [16:19] Sontogo* [16:19] baah.. [16:19] At first I was getting a black screen after selecting 'install', so I did some web research, and found some people needed to select 'nomodeset' to make it work. I tried that and the installation worked [16:19] Sontogo, give us a outline. [16:19] after the installation, the system said I needed to reboot, so I did, but again I got the black screen [16:19] I read on the web that I need to make the 'nomodeset' permanent so that upon boot, it works, but I don't know how to do that [16:20] For those of you in console-based IRC clients, does anyone see this character (〈) rendered with single-cell width? [16:20] For me it is rendered in two cells [16:20] 3 cells for me [16:20] !nomodeset | Sontogo you need to enter it again in the kernel, update when you are in and check additional drivers [16:20] Sontogo you need to enter it again in the kernel, update when you are in and check additional drivers: 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 [16:20] odinsbane: Strange [16:20] This appears to happen in both xterm and gnome-terminal [16:20] bgamari irssi here, 2 cells [16:21] bgamari: plus there are two parenthesis around the characters. [16:21] I really don't know where in the stack this is; I don't think xterm depends on pango [16:21] this is a stupid question, but how do I access the kernel? [16:21] odinsbane: Yes, that was typed [16:21] Sontogo: What do you mean? [16:21] Sontogo, check the link full instructions there. [16:21] Sontogo if you don't know how, you shouldnt [16:22] MonkeyDust: then he cannot boot. [16:22] Sontogo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 [16:22] I read that, it says "To set kernel boot options, you must edit your grub configuration. You can do this temporarily for a single boot by entering the grub menu. If you do not get to see the grub boot menu after the bios automatically, you may have to press SHIFT key after the bios logo to get in to grub:" [16:22] Sontogo, correct [16:23] I tried getting into the grub menu, but wasn't able to. I'm not sure what the grub menu is [16:23] Sontogo: it is the boot menu when you load up it gives you a choice of OS's to use. [16:23] Sontogo the grub menu is where you can choose ubuntu or windows (mostly) [16:23] I don't get menu what I boot up [16:23] I only have ubuntu on the machine [16:24] *I don't get that menu.. [16:24] Sontogo: did you press shift right after the bios stuff. [16:24] yea tried that [16:24] will try again thogh [16:24] Sontogo, tap the shift at powering on hit e fro edit at the menu [16:24] tap repeatedly or hold down as soon as you power on. Sontogo [16:24] ok I will restart the machine now and try that [16:25] I'm running ubuntu off of the USB right now [16:25] Sontogo, is this 12.04 [16:25] yes [16:25] Sontogo, cool it is shift then [16:25] actually let me go on my laptop so I can continue this chat while it's booting up [16:25] sure === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [16:28] when I press shift upon booting up, it takes me to a screen with a purple background, and language options [16:28] is that the Grub menu? [16:28] no [16:29] I have five menu options: 'Try Ubuntu without installing', 'Install Ubuntu', 'Check disc for defects', 'Test memory', and 'Boot from first hard disk' [16:29] hello [16:29] Sontogo, you are still booting the install, remove that and power on. [16:29] anyone successfully installed ubuntu (any version) on a MacBook pro 8,2+? [16:29] I'll reboot again and press shift earlier [16:30] maybe I'm pressing it too late [16:30] could anybody help me with a strange problem when i watch a youtube video? [16:30] people is blue :) [16:30] Sontogo_, remove the cd or usb flash it is still booting that [16:34] anyone have experience calibrating lm-sensors for AMD A6-3650? My temps are totally off. [16:34] ska: is that for a laptop? [16:36] Hi, I upgraded from ubuntu 11.4 to 11.11 and now all my fonts are a lot bigger. [16:36] Can I format a usb drive to ext2 and boot from that? [16:36] Also the tabs in firefox are displayed in huge letters. [16:37] odinsbane, boot what? [16:37] wilee-nilee: ubuntu [16:37] odinsbane, not unless it is a full install [16:38] i try to connect my laptop directly to the WAN port but somehow i can't get an IP address from the router, how can i solve this problem? i tried this on windows i somehow get an IP address from the router [16:39] the DHCP server on the router is started [16:39] odinsbane, you trying to set up ubuntu to be seen by windows? [16:40] Sorry, but upgrading to ubuntu 11.10 is the worst thing I ever did. Nothing works anymore. [16:40] wilee-nilee, no I am trying to setup a usb disk so I can use ubuntu at work. [16:40] odinsbane, you can't boot a fat there? [16:40] bobo123, ubuntu behaves like windows in this regard. you connect the cable, and then it will try to get an IP via dhcp [16:41] wilee-nilee: fat is fine. [16:41] wilee-nilee: There are some issues about sim links when using fat. [16:41] smerz: i tried that but i don't get an IP address from the router, and in windows my laptop gets an IP address, that's the problem [16:41] bobo123, are you sure the network port you're using will receive a dhcp response. and did you configure eth0 (lan) to use dhcp (or perhaps a static config) [16:41] odinsbane, when you say ubuntu disc you mean a full install, or a live cd disc [16:41] bobo123, it's not configure to use some sort of static configuration? [16:42] smerz from the NetworkManager it is per default Automatic DHCP [16:42] yup [16:42] Hello, how can i install the package oxygen-gtk in my ubuntu? i can't find it in official repos [16:42] wilee-nilee: I want something that has additional packages to the default install. [16:42] smerz: in windows i see that the router has gave me an IP address [16:42] wilee-nilee: it will be a live usb but I need some added functionality. [16:43] odinsbane, use a flash and persistent, just don't update it, and untick the cd in softwrae sources, run a update to get the repos synced but only install your pckgs [16:43] bobo123, can you run ifconfig. and private message me (or use nopaste) the data for eth0 ? [16:44] Is there a way to recover ubuntu as much as possible if a dist upgrade made the system unresponsive? [16:44] hi all, is there any GUI tool for sharing others desktop like team viewer in windows [16:44] wilee-nilee: what do you mean use a flash? [16:44] ubuntu one notes sync is still down. [16:44] bobo123, this is the ifconfig data, that my wireless has right now (for example) http://nopaste.info/f858e0d19c.html [16:44] wilee-nilee: do you mean flashdrive? [16:44] odinsbane, don't install the updates, just run it to get the repos synced for your installs, after unticking the cd [16:44] odinsbane, yes a flash drive. [16:45] smerz, just a sec [16:45] odinsbane, you know what a persistent is? [16:45] odinsbane: no its a desktop system. [16:45] wilee-nilee: I am not clear on what a persistent is. [16:46] is there any GUI tool for sharing others desktop like team viewer in windows [16:46] Hi all. I've set up Ubuntu Server 12.04 and am attempting to configure network shares using Samba (currently testing over home network using Windows 7). I have a read-only share that is working fine, but when I attempt to write to the non-read-only share using the Windows client, I'm getting an access denied / you need permission error. Any advice? :) [16:46] I have an iso, I used Unetbootin to create a flash drive with 1gig persistent data. It ran out of room. I tried to use 4gigs persistent and unetbootin froze. [16:46] odinsbane, usb installers like unetbootin and the installer in ubuntu have a persitent option so the usb flash has a memory of your installs, [16:46] persistent* [16:47] (the drive is is a 4gig memory stick) [16:47] hello [16:47] odinsbane, you probably want at the least a 4 gig usb [16:47] I have a screen brightness issue, been crawling the forums and nothing's working! Its not a simple key/software issue but more likely driver/device problem. I can catch you up on what all I've tried if anyone's interested/has any suggestions? [16:47] could someone help me with a cryptography question? [16:48] odinsbane, a usb load has limited use as it is reading the ISO, so installing updates will fill it up and possibly installing a kernel update will break it. [16:48] smerz: i can't copy the ifconfig result because i can't manage now to get internet on the laptop, but i don't have an "inet4 addr" line in the result, there is only "inet6 addr" in the result with an MAC address after it [16:48] smerz: it also says UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST... [16:49] thx1138, ##crypto for that === Guest90860 is now known as vega- [16:49] bobo123, i just wanted to check that it infact did not have a good ipv4 addr ;-) [16:49] 10x bazhang [16:50] is there any GUI tool for sharing others desktop like team viewer in windows [16:50] LibSS7 1.0.2 just keeps on giving error's when I compile it... [16:51] mtp3.c:458:17: error: variable ‘sif’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable] [16:51] bobo123, just check that the lan cable actually get's a link active light (on pc/laptop or router). === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [16:51] Why is it that all text is displayed in a very huge caption when using a window manager other than unity? [16:51] bobo123, also maybe try "sudo dhclient -r" (it's supposed to check for dhcp). it that doesn't work try "sudo /etc/init.d/network restart" [16:51] Okay so I have a 4gig memory stick, and unetbootin. I'm not sure how much persistent data I can allocate. When I said 4gigs it unetbootin froze. [16:52] Is there some way to fix it? [16:52] Somelauw: what wm? [16:52] bobo123, and you doo see your network interface in the ifconfig list right? i.e. the kernel did detect and install your network card right? ;-) [16:52] odinsbane: wmii [16:53] odinsbane: It never had that problem before. I suspect the login manager is messing with it temporarily. [16:53] Somelauw: what was the previous login manager? [16:54] odinsbane: Just gnome-login-manager and now the ubuntu 11.10-thing. [16:55] Can I mount ffs partitions_ [16:55] ? [16:55] The defaults of ubuntu 11.4 and ubuntu 11.10. I didn't bother to change the login manager. [16:55] Hi all. I've set up Ubuntu Server 12.04 and am attempting to configure network shares using Samba (currently testing over home network using Windows 7). I have a read-only share that is working fine, but when I attempt to write to the non-read-only share using the Windows client, I'm getting an access denied / you need permission error. I *think* I've added the relevant options in Samba, but would appreciate assistance! :) [16:57] david: did you check #samba? [16:58] odinsbane: Ooh thanks, wasn't aware that channel existed :) [16:58] Hi, Can any one answer this plz. Is there any GUI tool for sharing others desktop like team viewer in windows [16:59] !vnc | nagarjuna [16:59] nagarjuna: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [16:59] nagarjuna, I use rdesktop sometimes to remotely access my windows machine on my network [17:00] ok i will with those tools. thx guys :) [17:00] nagarjuna, for personal use i recommend nxserver & nxclient. they're faster than the other tools i've seen. comes close to citrix in windows ;-) [17:00] I cant find this folder for openvpn: /usr/share/openvpn/plugin/lib/openvpn-auth-pam.so [17:01] google nomachine [17:01] smerz: i need to install nxserver to view the windwos desktop right? [17:02] who scored for england? [17:02] nagarjuna, ahh you want to connect to windows "remote desktop" ? [17:02] ... woops [17:02] nx client & nx server is to make a nice "linux remote desktop". disregard my comments then hehe [17:02] smerz: yes i want to connect windows desktop using ubuntu [17:02] google linux RDP viewer [17:02] you [17:03] you'll find a client. i think there is one in ubuntu repository. easy to install [17:03] in fact it's already installed on mine [17:03] open dash board type "remote" [17:03] and you should have the remote desktop client in the list [17:04] My wireless connection starts up and then after about 10 or 15 seconds it disconnects. Ubuntu 11.04 has been installed for whatever a year and I've never had problems before. Switched routers and it still happens. Other laptops it's not an issue. It's a BCM4312 wireless controller. [17:04] i got "remote desktop viewer" and "remina remote desktop client". can't tell you which one is better. but both of these appear to come with ubuntu ouf of the box ;-) [17:04] smerz: i hav desktop sharing in my ubuntu [17:05] no client ? [17:05] then go into the ubuntu software manager and look for either of the 2 i named [17:05] will it work for windows. Ya there is remmina remote desktop clint is there [17:05] yes they will work. they're made to connect to windows "remote desktop" yes [17:05] alg pode me ajudar [17:06] "remote desktop viewer" i'm sure it works [17:06] tq i will try it [17:06] :) [17:06] the remina remote desktop client, i've never spotted that one before ;-) [17:06] !br | BlackZatara [17:06] BlackZatara: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[17:08] gmachine_24, your neighbourhood didn't invade your wlan channel right? [17:08] though unlikely the cause heh [17:08] smerz, no. but I thought of that.

[19:37] hmmm. i will try putty [19:37] zykotick9, like "urlnames.txt >> urls.txt ? [19:37] AceFace: I'd recommend putty as well [19:37] thank you for the suggestion!

Or is it possible? i believe i have strong password, so do you say is it ok giving my pass for encrypted home? [19:50] dontknow: no it's not really easy from the system [19:51] dontknow: it's just that if someone manages to learn your log in password [19:51] dontknow: they also would have access to your data [19:51] dontknow: it's up to you whether you want the additional security that would come with a separate password [19:51] reisio: thanks, looks nice [19:51] reisio: other than installing ubuntu manually... well, from a disk, any suggestions?

[19:53] Is there an easy to use GUI program to configure which services run at startup in Ubuntu? [19:53] Do i want fglrx? [19:53] theadmin, so you say use different pass?

I have used multiple computers to create the bootable USB. The problem is that it says the "installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted". Ideas? [20:01] ubuntu one notes sync is still down for me, but the status page still says its runnign OK. someone able to check if its really running? [20:01] mikeS11: Try LiLi (if you're still on Windows) or dd, unetbootin has *always* failed me. [20:01] http://cloud.ubuntu.com/ [20:01] theadmin: I'll give dd a shot. Thanks.

[20:02] some clarification would great [20:03] or do I need to setup another vm for ubuntu-server [20:03] mmm mabey no one here has set up a web server for users ftp accounts? [20:06] What do I need to do to install Sun (or is it oracle now) Java? [20:06] Is this possible still? [20:06] CoJaBo: Yes, if you do it manually. [20:07] How? And what happend to the easy way, anyway :/ [20:08] CoJaBo: sudo apt-get update-sun-java I think [20:08] knobydobs: That's not even valid apt syntax [20:08] Really? I thought Oracle stopped letting them package it. [20:08] knobydobs: That was close, but it was removed from apt. [20:08] ahh - i forget install [20:08] Yeh, I tried, its gone. [20:09] Like I said... [20:09] Ok - still woks here [20:09] Also tried some of the manual ways, the commands do not actually run. [20:09] Also, it isn't clear which version I need, 32 or 64? [20:10] I gave up a while back and just run the open source Java. No real problems with it. [20:10] 64bit machine, assuming Firefox is 64bit, but Java website says 32bit version is needed for plugin :/ [20:10] hello! [20:11] CoJaBo: go to duinsoft.nl [20:12] CoJaBo: go to duinsoft.nl/packages [20:12] CoJaBo: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2011-December/001528.html [20:12] ratcheer: Whats the command to install that? And does it support webstart, 3d stuff, etc, or is it still the watered-down version that came with older ubuntu [20:12] CoJaBo: Oracle changed their licensing [20:12] mikeS11: Yeh, I've noticed :/ [20:12] CoJaBo: The Duinsoft i can confirm working [20:13] knobydobs: Have the correct url tho? [20:13] CoJaBo: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [20:13] CoJaBo: I haven't done it in quite a while. I gave it up when Oracle stopped letting them package it. I used to do manual installs all the time. [20:13] CoJaBo: Or you can search for all the right packages with, 'apt-cache search openjdk' [20:14] CoJaBo: go to duinsoft.nl/packages.php?t=en [20:14] Hey guys. [20:14] mikeS11: Should he get 6 or 7? [20:14] I just installed NIS on a new Ubuntu Server, but then when I got to the stage of restarting the NIS service, it says.... [20:14] I'd prefer the Sun version, as its (probably) most compatible with what Windows users will get [20:14] NIS: Unrecognized service [20:14] ratcheer: CoJaBo: Depends... [20:14] Or something to that effect [20:14] knobydobs: Thanks, trying that now... [20:15] CoJaBo: That is true. And some people say some web sites won't work right with open Java. [20:15] openjdk7 is extremely good compatibilitywise. Oracle are going to make it the reference implementation I believe [20:15] CoJaBo: Sombody did setup something so that you can install/update the oracle java through apt. I have used it, it works well. But i can't remember who... I'll look. [20:15] mikeS11: That looks like that that .nl site provides [20:15] See: https://blogs.oracle.com/henrik/entry/moving_to_openjdk_as_the [20:17] mikeS11: webupd8 ppaq IIRC [20:17] s/ppaq/ppa/ [20:17] ssta: Hm, so it should be easier I guess when thats actually made official :P [20:17] http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-jdk-in.html [20:17] If I restart, is the log kept after the restart? [20:18] CoJaBo: I think it is official...not sure though [20:18] knobydobs: Hm, does that install the plugin too? [20:18] anyone here using the gnome shell?

I was just reading the same article [20:19] what do you think about it [20:19] CoJaBo: no - just jre [20:19] i mean compared to unity [20:19] I like it fine.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [20:20] geek4ever: I use gnome-fallback, I prefer it to unity (obviously, otherwise I'd be using unity). This channel isn't really the right place to canvas opinions though (try #ubuntu-offtopic) [20:20] knobydobs: How do I install the plugin too? [20:20] geek4ver, do you have any specific questions? [20:21] knulla [20:21] ok, thanks a lot! [20:21] CoJaBo: I have the plugin but I cant remember how... [20:22] What is Unity like, anyway? I absolutely hate Gnome, and most people I know who like Gnome hate Unity lol [20:22] tuxgeek, just that...thanks guys! [20:22] CoJaBo: knobydobs if you install ubuntu-restricted-extras it will install openjdk plugin and other stuff like adobe flash, ms fonts, audio/video codecs; a lot easier [20:23] kuken här [20:23] where is the resolver configured in 12.04? I see that /etc/resolv.conf is only pointing to localhost. I am having some problems resolving when i connect to my VPN [20:23] xangua: That helps so much - you are a lifesaver [20:23] stoppa den i byxan istället backbox [20:24] albech: appaerntly someone decided that using apt-cacher as the default resolver was a good idea [20:24] oops [20:24] xangua: I'm trying to get the Sun Java plugin tho [20:24] dnsmasq even [20:24] ssta, bah :( [20:24] albech: dnsmasq === arizona_bay is now known as Guest25859 [20:25] xangua: btw - how [20:25] albech: There is a package named resolvconf, but I don't know a lot about using it. [20:25] knobydobs: how what¿ [20:25] * xangua doesn't read minds [20:25] xangua: how do i install it [20:25] knobydobs: install What¿ [20:25] * xangua Still doesn't read minds [20:26] seems rather strange to change an old well proven setup like resolv.conf [20:26] xangua: how do i install ubuntu-restricted-areas [20:26] without checking that it is compatible with other packages [20:26] knobydobs: sudo apt-get install ..... [20:27] xangua: I did a typo - nevermind [20:27] albech: there was some justification for it, but.... [20:27] albech: In 12.04 they started using a resolvconf daemon which monitors changes to network configuration and makes /etc/resolv.conf entries automatically [20:27] albech: see: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-p-dns-resolving [20:27] mikeS11, apparently it isnt monitoring my VPN tunnel correctly ;) [20:28] ssta, thanks.. will look at that [20:28] I have logmein-hamachi installed - how do i use it [20:28] How would i configure my secondary NIC to use dhcp? === ubuntu is now known as Guest1579 [20:28] albech: dnsmasq is actually a really useful tool for stuff like VPNs or LANs. I'm not completely convinved the default configuration in precise is as good as it could be, but the tool itself is actually a decent one [20:29] AceFace: Same way you'd configure the first one. [20:29] still not convinced it should be the default resolver though [20:29] I am having my own DNS running, so I really dont care too much for dnsmasq and caching [20:29] i used the setup wizard for the first NIC [20:29] AceFace: Should be set to dhcp by default [20:29] albech: I'm sorry, I don't have experiance configuring it with vpn tunnels. In the case of a static configuration on an interface, you can add 'dns-nameservers' entries into your /etc/network/interfaces file. [20:29] im sorry, im on ubuntu server 12.04 [20:31] AceFace: Look at /etc/network/interfaces [20:31] AceFace: at the eth1 stanza [20:32] ok [20:32] how do I sort in "top", for example only show mysqld [20:34] Vooloo: assuming it's running as the mysql user (which is default), try pressing "u", then typing "mysql" [20:34] Hello folks!

I believe they were not successful. [20:47] can anyone answer? [20:47] Good afternoon. Can anyone recommend a resource for the 'Remmina' vnc client? [20:47] are there any search engines i can install locally that will index remote sites for me? and are such things available in the repository? [20:47] my ubuntu 12.04 hangs when running /scripts/init-bottom [20:48] MonkeyDust: That's exactly why I want to see my clicks. The middle click sometimes works and not others. I want to check if easystroke is being "slow" or if my mouse is "funked" [20:48] can anyone help ,e [20:48] ratcheer, i dont see the benefit of installing a caching daemon in an enterprise environment where it is expected that a capable dns server is running on the lan already [20:48] FGLRX is bugging me - I can't get it to let me use ubuntu 3D on 12.04 [20:48] albech: I agree with you, I am just telling you what I saw. [20:48] ratcheer, i know ;) [20:50] I know this is a busy chat, but anyone know where to get "remmina" assistance? [20:50] skiphuffman: just ask your question, if someone can help he/she will [20:50] skiphuffman better ask and wait [20:50] skiphuffman, which kind of assistance? why dont you just ask the question and see ? ;) [20:51] hey , nobody knows what's the solution to this problem? [20:51] Ok. I am trying to remote control one Ubuntu 12.04 system from another. The screen on the client never seems to refresh. [20:51] poor guy - all jumping on you [20:52] skiphuffman, only when you first connect? [20:52] Control actions are taking place, I can see the effects on the server, but the client just has a static image [20:52] skiphuffman, i had similar problems and every time i scaled the window it would update :( [20:52] @albrect not sure what you mean. [20:52] hi [20:53] not sure I want to resize the window every time I click the mouse. [20:53] Seems less than convenient. [20:53] skiphuffman, yes, that was my conclusion as well [20:53] skiphuffman, never had that problem with earlier releases [20:53] partitioning question [20:53] I'm going to be dual booting [20:54] and would like to install ubuntu on a drive that already has two partitions on it [20:54] Slow: ok? [20:54] 1) windows 7 partition 2) data (with lots of data) but with room [20:54] @albrect I found a solution for older versions where you turn off an option in gconf-editor, but that option is not available for 12.04 [20:54] when I'm installing ubuntu [20:55] how do i install gnome3? i installed gnome-shell but the default gnome is just gnome2, it might be because the machine is a vmware machine but it didn't give me an error that it was going into fallback mode [20:55] i'd like to create a new partition on 2) [20:55] so that would give me 1) windows 2) data 3) ubuntu [20:55] when installing from the ubuntu menus, and creating a new partition [20:55] @Slow. Build a g-parted live USB stick. Boot from that and resize the partitions [20:56] Then install Ubuntu. [20:56] i am using a USB install [20:56] i'm worried that resizing will cause data loss [20:56] Slow: Back up first [20:56] @slow. Well. you will want to back up first. [20:56] But you shouldn't lose anything. g-parted is pretty gentle [20:57] we're talking about 300gigs of data [20:57] just snaggs free space [20:57] @slow. Yeah, definitly want to back that up. [20:57] Good thing media is so cheap these days. [20:57] Hello, I got an old laptop, and it is becoming slow, is there a utility to help me find out the cause of this slowness (ie. wether it is memory or HDD or whatever) ? [20:58] Ok, but back to my problem. Should I use a different VNC client? I am not married to remmina [20:58] damnit [20:58] Slow: It's generally unlikely to fail, however I *HAVE* had it happen once for uncertain reasons. [20:59] i'm just annoyed that the wubi installation keeps failing (after it works just fine for awhile) === gianni is now known as Guest81760 [20:59] I've had loads of issues with Wubi lol.. [20:59] !ciao [20:59] If the machine crashes, it almost always currupts the root filesystem :/ [21:00] Slow: probably has more to do with your Windows installation than wubi itself [21:00] To answer my previous question "sudo cat /dev/input/mouse0" proves my mouse middle click is faulty and not easystroke [21:00] Slow: why not do a normal install [21:00] see, that's the thing, it works just fine until I boot in to windows [21:00] prefer to do a proper install if you can...wubi is a hack [21:00] !list [21:00] Guest81760: No warez here!

[21:00] reisio: you said that earlier... and I'm not sure I understand what you mean [21:00] I need to dual boot [21:01] Slow: you can install Ubuntu to a dedicated partition or two instead of via Wubi (to a file) [21:01] that's what i'm trying to do now [21:01] word [21:01] @slow My recommendation will give you a dual boot. I did just that with this very laptop last week. [21:01] except that now I need to back up a metric-s-tonne of media [21:01] skiphuffman: ah you are talking about vnc, I was already wondering, try it with vncviewer from the CLI [21:01] Slow: :D [21:01] Actually this is a triple boot. Win 7, Ubuntu, and Fedora [21:02] Slow: or you could go buy another disk [21:02] skiphuffman: and no need to put @ in front :) [21:02] guntbert: Really? [21:02] I get in the habit of that elsewhere. [21:02] Slow: you'll need another eventually anyways [21:02] skiphuffman: :) [21:02] Never can keep track of the differnt standards [21:02] and windows file transfers tend to crash when you're not their staring at them [21:02] Slow: you using Vista? :p [21:02] windows 7 [21:02] fun [21:03] i like it better than vista [21:03] lol [21:03] of course [21:03] !ot | Slow [21:03] Slow: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:03] xp vienna [21:03] Vista sucks; Win7 sucks less :P [21:03] Slow: not saying much, though :p [21:03] limfao [21:03] agreed [21:04] Hm- Anyone know why swapping a mobo would make the right mouse button stop working? [21:04] same model? [21:04] CoJaBo: broken mobo [21:04] Completely different mobo and CPU, everything else the same [21:04] guntbert: installing now [21:05] Absolutely everything else works except right-click ... [21:05] maybe something disabled it... but that's weird [21:05] i encrypted home directory but it doesn't ask me password when entering it!? [21:05] is it expected behavior? [21:05] CoJaBo: try using the live cd and see if it is the same issue [21:06] dontknow: if I remember correctly, yes. the encryption password is decrypted with your login password [21:07] guntbert, it i asked me something about enter phasspare after reboot and i give it different password, what was that about? [21:07] I'm guessing its some kind of settings SNAFU, but I have no idea where to look for mouse config heh... I had a similar issue with network config, the new mobo doesn't have (working) onboard NIC, so it changed from etho to eth1 causing mass havoc -_-' [21:07] when I try to use ubuntu (instead of ubuntu 2D), I get a screen with a sidebar that will not react to anything and a blank grey bar across the top - any ideas why this would be? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [21:08] dontknow: please type more carefully, I didn't understand your last statement [21:09] Actually, it was plugged into a PS/2 KVM switch, its now plugged in directly via USB- wonder if thats why.. [21:09] Evening everyone [21:10] hi andybrine, Do you have an ubuntu support question? [21:10] does anyone know how to install the gnome shell bolt extension? [21:10] yeah :) [21:11] would like to install the bolt plugin and having difficulties [21:11] not sure how to install it [21:12] guntbert, sorry. i entered this command "sudo ecryptfs-migrate-home –u “username”" to encrypt home directory. It asked me "enter passphrase" i entered something different then my user pass and it didn't accept it. Then i entered my user pass it accepted and started encryption. After that i rebooted the computer a pop up appear says something like "enter passphrase" and i entered different password than my user account it accepted. is it ok now? [21:13] andybrine, this maybe helpfull, bolt extention http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/05/unity-dash-like-gnome-shell-extension-sees-release [21:14] thanks OerHeks [21:14] this is where i went an clicked on install and it has not done anything [21:14] andybrine, first you need gnome-shell [21:14] !nounity [21:14] 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 [21:15] Is my problem to do with graphics drivers? [21:15] OerHeks i am using gnome shell unity at the moment [21:15] dontknow: I am not sure about the exact process, but it looks like you are all set, 2 warnings though: make sure to have a (written/printed) record of that passphrase, 2) in the future pay more attention to what is said on the screen, the info is usually valuable :-) [21:15] Is there a way to make a difference between LANand WAN while behind a DMZ Host? [21:15] With iptables [21:16] andybrine, maybe you need to logout & login back again? same for unity lenses [21:16] You'll need to elaborate a bit more before someone can give you any specific advise. [21:16] guntbert, yes, pop up was talking about something "print it" something like that lol what is it about? === xacobecimadevila is now known as CapitanSalami [21:17] OerHeks I have rebooted, it does not seem to be installing at all [21:17] would anyone happend to know if there is plugin or something for gnome-shell that removes the "All" from Applications menu (leaving only Accessories, Games, etc...)? [21:17] not sure why [21:18] whoops, lost connection [21:18] dontknow: without that passphrase you will not be able to get access to you data at all if you are not logged in to the current system as that special user! [21:19] gruntbert: I don't know that the gvncviewer was any better. I did not seem to have any mouse access. [21:19] installing krdc now. === CapitanSalami is now known as SenorDelfin [21:19] guntbert, i will search more about that, thanks === SenorDelfin is now known as LaCuqui [21:20] Eagleman: If you have two different networks you could use two different interfaces to connect to them. If you have two different interfaces connected to two different networks, it is quite easy to keep them segregated === LaCuqui is now known as EnriquePastor === EnriquePastor is now known as AntonioRecio [21:21] Hi all. Trying to install vmware tools. Why would sudo ./vmware-install.pl -d not work? [21:21] dontknow: just for a test: log in to you system as another user (or as guest) and see what you will find under /home/dontknow [21:21] usr13 so i should buy another network card and set the ip to 192.168.1.11 ( the other is 192.168.1.10 ) and set the dmz host to .11 and use .10 for internal? [21:22] Chaosadnd: is the scriot executable? what error message do you get?

[21:23] Chaosad9834 [21:24] guntbert, i thought it wasn't possible to enter someone's user directory whether it is encrypted or not. So how can i sure if my user's home directory encrypted? === gianni is now known as Guest92695 [21:24] guntbert, *using another account* [21:24] So the only thing I need to operate an 'Active Directory' on Ubuntu is NIS? [21:25] Nothing else like LDAP is required? [21:25] Where can I find a good guide on how to install a triple boot of Windows, Mac and Ubuntu? [21:25] Ca11um: What means operate? Running a AD-Server or authenticate against a AD-Server? [21:26] dontknow: the default settings allow another user to enter your home dir - see ls -ld /home/* (x allows to enter) [21:26] Ca11um: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryHowto [21:26] can anyone help me? [21:26] schnuffle: A Ubuntu Server storing the accounts, whilst the Ubuntu Clients load them from the server [21:26] what's the command line to launch the system settings app in precise? [21:27] what is akonaditray? [21:27] (I'm logged in via ssh from another box and have an x server available) [21:27] Ca11um: Ah so no AD at all just the oportunity to store all acounts on a linux server [21:27] Sure. [21:27] My external harddrive is not automounting. No errors in dmesg. What gives? [21:27] hey all - trying to install kubuntu 12.04 on a Macbook pro 8,3 - i can get to a command prompt with networking via recovery mode - running apt-get update now [21:28] I can't get startx to work - any clue as to where to go from here? [21:28] Ca11um: I would go for LDAP, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication [21:28] guntbert, so are you saying i can enter my current user directory after creating new one. and it is not possible if it is encrypted ? [21:28] gruntberg: Ok, KRDC also controls without refreshing the screen. [21:29] anyone have idea how to get the realtek driver to work in 12.04? [21:29] guntbert, *after creating new user account [21:29] jvcleave: you need to go to #kubuntu [21:29] jvcleave: Something has gone terribly wrong. You shouldn't have to run startx manually [21:29] dontknow: no, you will be able to enter still, but you will see only a folder with a name like "private" (or so) [21:29] s1zero: which realtek chip? [21:30] guntbert, ok i will try now === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [21:30] !tab | skiphuffman [21:30] skiphuffman: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [21:30] s1zero: What specific Realtek card? [21:30] schnuffle: crap sorry one sec. [21:30] ah thanks guntbert [21:31] it help if i boot the machine before asking....forgot the numbers [21:31] any davmail gurus around? I have certificate issues. [21:31] skiphuffman: it might be a setting in the server? [21:32] schnuffle: r8168 [21:32] huh. I wonder. [21:32] let me look about [21:32] usr13 so i should buy another network card and set the ip to 192.168.1.11 ( the other is 192.168.1.10 ) and set the dmz host to .11 and use .10 for internal? [21:33] s1zero: I have some instructions on ubuntuforums. I'll be back in a minute with a link. [21:33] s1zero: the driver can be downloaded from realtek the file name is: r8168-8.029.00.tar.bz2 === rcn1 is now known as dsan [21:33] schnuffle, ratcheer: its a rtl8111/8168B === dsan is now known as dsn [21:34] guntbert, i entered with another user and tried to enter /home/"myusername" it says "you don't have permission to enter this directory", do you think encryption is working? === dsn is now known as mdsn [21:34] schnuffle: i think i tried that one..got no luck [21:34] s1zero: See post #2 in this thread - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1992200 === mdsn is now known as dsan [21:34] ratcheer: just wanted to post the same link :) [21:35] s1zero: It is up to version 08-031, now.

[21:36] guys a question: when you download a file in chrome or firefox, and you click open in folder, does it open the folder AND highlights the downloaded file? in my case it just opens the folder but won't highlight the file [21:36] is it a bug or a feature? :D [21:36] schnuffle: Cool. You are familiar with my work. ;) [21:36] guntbert, No obvious settings. it looks like the one machine should be able to control the other. [21:37] ratcheer: :) Not really but my google foo directed me to it [21:37] ratcheer, schnuffle: thanks... ill try this out. [21:37] swear i did this [21:37] dontknow: please have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome [21:38] s1zero: It can be tricky. [21:38] guntbert, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1020350/ [21:38] skiphuffman: sorry, I use vnc very rarely, I prefer ssh [21:39] guntbert, me too. but I have a particular use that I want/need vnc. [21:39] help: [21:39] oops [21:39] guntbert, i posted ls -ld /home/* [21:39] guntbert, Maybe I should back up a step and see if someone has a suggetion for a better way to go about it. [21:39] quit: [21:39] Quit: [21:40] keith__: any problem? [21:40] keith__, to quit irc /quit [21:41] Here is my need: I want to plug my more powerful laptop with HDMI into our television to play a videos. This works well, I can play videos with sound and all through the hdmi, but I have to sit right next to the Television so that I can reach the pause and play controls. === BlouBlou is now known as BlouBlou_ === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [21:41] So I thought I could just vnc control my big laptop, with my wifes little netbook. Use it as a remote control. [21:41] skiphuffman: Longer HDMI cable... [21:42] dontknow: I saw, (obfuscating the usernames is not necessary :-)) - it looks like the encryption process also changed the permissions on the home directory, you could always test with another user, migrate that to encrypted too and compare... [21:42] ratcheer: +1 [21:42] skiphuffman: ok, what is the actual goal? [21:42] ratcheer, Yeah, several problems with that. 1) I don't have a longer cable. 2) My dogs would either trip over the cord, or chew on it. [21:43] lol [21:43] skiphuffman: Sorry, I was kind of kidding. But, that is what my son does. [21:43] Actual goal? Hook the laptop up to the TV OVER THERE, and control it from OVER HEAR [21:43] OVER HERE. I mean === 45PAANJH0 is now known as CookieM_ [21:43] ratcheer, Yeah, your next suggestion will be a long stick, right? === Guest99216 is now known as Dorito [21:44] skiphuffman: No, I'm sorry, really. [21:44] ratcheer, I understand the humor. [21:45] And it is a seriously first world problem I am trying to solve. Two laptops and a big tv. [21:45] skiphuffman: no idea about that scenario - I'll leave you to the more knowledgeable members :-) [21:46] Cool. If I could control the video player from terminal all would be good [21:47] Hey, I have a script that is supposed to start autossh, how can I tell if it is running? [21:47] skiphuffman: What about just remoting into your TV connected laptop? [21:47] schnuffle, Well, that is exactly where we started. [21:47] there are mobile apps that do this [21:47] I mean, it's not working, but I want to know if it is even running on the machine. [21:47] schnuffle: I think that's what he is trying to do. [21:47] Gushings: ps aux | grep [21:48] I can't get one Ubuntu Laptop to remote control the other. [21:48] skiphuffman: then x11vnc can help you [21:48] Nice, it is running. [21:48] I don't see any of the ports it is using in Netstat. [21:48] schnuffle, a different server? Sure, I could try that. [21:48] Could that mean my server is not accepting connections on that port? [21:49] skiphuffman: When I used to work as an Oracle DBA, my sysadmin had things set up so I could use ssh and run X windows so that the apps were running on the server, but the windows were on my PC. Man, I wish I remembered how to do that. [21:49] skiphuffman: wireless keyboard/mouse. [21:49] skiphuffman: another solution is as you said control it through ssh. I think vlc should be able to do it [21:50] guntbert, should i change permission to test it with another account? [21:50] is there a way to make xmms2 integrate with the menu? [21:50] guntbert, come on dude, give me certain solution :D [21:50] like how rhythmbox and gmusicbrowser do [21:52] skiphuffman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=45565 [21:52] dontknow: as you wish: "your encryption is good, be happy" :-), but my idea was (if you seriously want to test): create another account, encrypt that home dir, log in as your normal user and try with sudo to acees the other accounts data [21:52] *account's [21:53] hey, is there any easy config dialog for drawing tablets? actually mine is recognised but it moves only when i press the pen, which generate a mouse click at the same time. [21:53] schnuffle, That does not seem to make any difference. The image on the client is still static [21:53] skiphuffman: hm, what vncviewer are you using? [21:53] that=x11vncserver [21:54] schnuffle, I have tried three. The default one, Remmina. vnc-viewer from command line, and krdc [21:54] skiphuffman: that is the part on the server, I mean the viewer part vino or something like that. I mostly use tightvnc or tigervnc [21:55] ratcheer, schnuffle: ok that worked..but i have to staticly enter ip address..but no biggie as long as a i have giga network im good. [21:55] schnuffle, we got out of sequence, see my next message. [21:55] guntbert, i have username2 acoount as you know, you mean i should alsoo encrypt username2 home dir and after that what lol i am confused? [21:56] schnuffle, I have tried three. The default one, Remmina. vnc-viewer from command line, and krdc [21:56] knobydobs: its ok to repeat your question after quarter of an hour or so, new people might see it [21:56] skiphuffman: i see. Hard to see your problem. HAve you any logs that could be used to track down the problem? [21:56] s1zero: where do you enter the IP? in /etc/network/interfeaces? [21:56] hard to log "nothing happened and nothing changed" [21:56] skiphuffman: network-manager.. simple [21:57] kind of annoying since I use VNC all the time at the office [21:57] skiphuffman: then I have another option. Try FreeNX [21:57] s1zero, what will that do? [21:57] hi, quick small question. I have win7 intalled on my laptop. is it safe to install ubuntu using ubuntu installer ? [21:57] from windows [21:57] skiphuffman: gui for inputing ip, net, gw, dns [21:58] and i can use ubuntu and win7 both, with no problems after ?

[21:58] ok [21:58] Kornkage with wubi ? [21:58] igot lots of space [21:58] Kornkage: Do you mean a wubi install. I don't recommend it [21:58] Kornkage: yes and yes. But make sure you have backups of your important data anyway, just to be on the safe side [21:58] i dont know whats wubi [21:58] random unuimportant stuff is installed, noting to safeguard [21:58] is there any reason why I get a broken sidebar and blank grey bar across the top of my screen when I try and use the non-2d version of ubuntu? [21:58] hello [21:58] dontknow: my idea was: yes you go ahead and encrypt the homedir of user2 too, then you log out again, and log in as user, that one has sudo rights, and so you can use sudo cd /home/user2 to neter that, afterwards type sudo ls to see what is there === tommy_ is now known as Guest17992 [21:59] I can not get hotot to summon with C. Might Unity be the cause? [21:59] knobydobs: tried to reset unity settings and compiz settings¿ [21:59] how do I enable vino-server (or equivalent) in Precise? I have one box I upgraded from an ealier version that already had it on and it still works, but have a new one with a fresh install, and I can't find it to turn it on. [21:59] Kornkage: Wubi installs Linux in your Windows system like a normal app [21:59] how can I fix nautilus to show the real size of files. in MiB and not MB [21:59] schnuffle, I don't see FreeNX either in apt-get or ubuntu software center [22:00] skiphuffman: let me check [22:00] ? [22:00] guntbert, ok i will try [22:00] Does ubuntu have a tool for fixing USB flash drives. Mine is stuck as read-only.

[22:01] dsnyders, you can change the permission from a properties of it in gksudo nautilus [22:01] schnuffle, that sounds like we are just guessing. [22:02] skiphuffman: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [22:02] Or is that something you have experience with? [22:02] ah, found it. "vino-preferences" [22:02] dsnyders, or just format it. [22:02] xangua: c is for creating new post. C is for summoning the client. [22:02] skiphuffman: that is an alternative as I can't tell you what is going wrong as I don't have any hint. Before you get mad, try something else I I really can recommend NX. Esspecially for slow connections [22:03] No, I'm not mad. [22:03] Just I have already installed a couple of servers and about five clients with no real effect [22:03] skiphuffman: I use it on a daily basis like VNC as well [22:03] wilee-nilee, I can't format it. It errors as read only. [22:05] Ok, giving it a try === shazzr_ is now known as shazzr [22:05] xangua: ...and it works on my other laptop. Same distro. Same hotot. [22:06] skiphuffman: I am sure I used to do it with just ssh at work. The local client machine was the X server, and the database server host was the X client. I entered "xhost +" and there were maybe a couple of other settings. Then, I ssh'ed to the database server and ran a GUI app and its windows were displayed on my desktop machine (the X server). === hybris is now known as Hybris [22:07] ratcheer: that will export his Display and all the apps he opens will open on the controlling laptop. So no video on the TV [22:07] ratcheer, Yeah, you are right, there is some way to remote operate an x-windows application. I should probably just recall how to do that. [22:07] ratcheer: with ssh there is absolutely no need for xhost +! that is rather dangerous! [22:08] skiphuffman: easy use the ssh -X option which will set the Display [22:08] guntbert: Yes, I heard that, but that is how the sysadmin told me to do it. [22:08] is it possible to hide a running program? [22:08] ratcheer: ok but please don't recommend it here [22:08] Installing wubi, i didnt repartition anything [22:08] chris__: hide from? [22:09] Kornkage: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Wubi [22:09] reisio, like being able to have a program run in the background but not visible [22:09] Sorry, it is the only way I knew how. [22:10] nmap pehden.dyndns-ip.com msg me results please [22:10] reisio, so I guess Id be hiding it from the desktop and then I could enter a command to make it visible [22:10] ratcheer: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ssh.html [22:10] ratcheer: no worries - look at what schnuffle said for a better way [22:10] why the fuck would a lucid -> precise upgrade remove vi? w.t.f. [22:10] Thanks, I am looking... [22:11] guntbert, instead of doing what you say i entered as user2 and did this, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1020385/ is it ok? [22:11] ratcheer: Of course in /etc/ssh/sshd_config X11Forwarding needs to be enabled [22:12] installing ubuntu.. at least its easier than builiding gnu radio on windows [22:12] crankharder: vi or vim? [22:12] hey guys.. somebody around here that has played with home automation? i have been searching google but all i found was expensive kits and other expensive components.. i was thinking that i could use a old wifi router to run the server on, and then just by the other components separately.. using androind powered devices to control every thing.. [22:12] chris__: a graphical program? [22:12] Quick one: what is the command line for the ubuntu movie player? [22:12] any ideas geniuses? :) [22:12] reisio, yes [22:12] chris__: which?

I just want the command line to start it. [22:13] chris__: oh you started a VM and don't want the extra window hanging around? [22:13] dontknow: all set :-) but DON'T forget to record that passphrase, you see even root cannot access the data without it [22:13] skiphuffman: dpkg -L packagename | grep -i bin might say [22:14] hilo: hi [22:14] ubukou: what do you want to do? there's 1-wire which is often used for homemade automation.

I added virtualbox to startup but I want to make it hidden and access it through a vnc client [22:14] Can someone help? [22:14] what arduino or 1-wire [22:15] guntbert, ok thanks, now i need to know how to record passphrase [22:15] chris__: you should have a VBoxHeadless command [22:15] It's "totem" if anyone is wondering [22:15] schnuffle, reisio i was thinking.. do you really need anything else than a router? i dont know how the switches work but they are connected via wifi to the server right ? [22:15] chris__: you mean your CPU doesn't support it? [22:16] dontknow: I am certain you will find that info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome [22:16] reisio, I havent setup virtualbox. My cpu supports it but kvm does not have guest additions [22:16] ubukou: you don't even need a router if you don't want to use wireless devices [22:16] schnuffle, reisio arduine seems to be used with a router and a RF controler.. is the RF really needed? [22:16] ubukou: it's kind of fun controlling your home electronics from your mobile phone, though [22:16] ubukou: bluetooth is another option [22:16] guntbert, thanks for everything, have a nice day [22:16] But, of course that doesn't help me because that runs the movie player's screen on the client machine [22:16] ubukou: arduinos are for embedded tinkerers [22:17] reisio, Ive used virtualbox before but I keep destroying my os's so Im using virtualmachines from now on [22:17] reisio, and bluetooth is the part that anduino come in right ? [22:17] dontknow: you're welcome :-) and happy ubuntuing :) [22:17] ubukou: don't know, don't care; I would not suggest an arduino for this use [22:17] reisio: hello! Any chance you can assist me with my wlan on an ubuntu server install? [22:17] That wubi thing reminds me of colinux or AndLinux [22:17] I need to run the movie player on the LAPTOP, but control it from the NETBOOK. [22:17] reisio, ok good enough, costs money after all.. [22:17] I had AndLinux. Didn't like it. [22:17] ubukou: if you want to interact with your home electronics wirelessly, you have to have some form of wireless control, be it ordinary wireless, bluetooth, infra red, etc. [22:18] ubukou: one computer is all it takes, and a desktop computer can easily pull double duty for this [22:18] reisio, do light switches use wifi or BT? [22:18] ubukou: not exactly demanding activities [22:18] ubukou: I use it to control some IO, temperature .... but it's not necessary at all [22:18] Is there any way to restrict how much bandwidth is available to a specific USB device? [22:18] is there a way to mount an img file so I can pull files off of it? [22:18] ubukou: I'm sure you can get them using whatever, but most obviously just use hard wires [22:18] itsrachelfish: don't cross post [22:18] chris__: mount -o loop image /mnt/point [22:18] reisio, hard wires are messy when dealing with 20 devices.. :S [22:19] ubukou: they take up more space than air, it's true [22:19] how easy is it to do what ubukou wants to do? [22:19] reisio, its not an iso its an img, would that still work? [22:19] they also work better and don't send electronic signals through your brain [22:19] knobydobs: real easy [22:19] chris__: depends on what it's an image of === GeekAdmin is now known as Geek{Be-right-ba === Geek{Be-right-ba is now known as Geek{BRB} [22:20] reisio, its my virtual hard drive that kvm uses(my virtual machine) [22:20] schnuffle, I need to run the movie player on the LAPTOP, but control it from the NETBOOK. [22:20] reisio, so i guess it would be an operating system [22:21] reisio, ok lets start with the easy ones.. you need some kind of "server" to do all these.. and then you need the software for the chosen os to control all this. obviously android is the one i should be using. [22:21] skiphuffman, you can do that with mplayer and ssh [22:21] ssh lets me run the movie player from the laptop on the netbook, but the display is also on the netbook [22:21] I don't want to use ext4. I want to try something different--hopefully faster. What should I use? [22:21] reisio, is there a protocol that this projects use ? [22:21] chris__: #kvm would know best, but you could check out http://krnjevic.com/wp/?p=33 [22:21] ive heard that xfs was a great filesystem [22:21] skiphuffman: http://askubuntu.com/questions/117324/terminal-command-to-control-the-standard-music-video-playerplay-stop-next [22:22] chris__: did you now [22:22] reisio, i mean X10 seems to be popular and z wave as well.. [22:22] hey people kubuntu installer crahses after 20 percent any help [22:23] reisio, did I know what? [22:23] chris__: now I said [22:23] ubukou: no... obviously GNU/Linux is the OS you should use [22:23] reisio, youve successfully lost me [22:24] ubukou: and you don't need any special protocols, just ordinary network stuff, optionally with wireless [22:24] chris__: I said 'now', not 'know' [22:24] yooo people kubuntu crashes after 20 percent ny help [22:24] skiphuffman: http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch04.html [22:24] silverghost: try the alternate install image [22:24] reisio, im trying to determine if I want virtualbox or virtualbox-ose [22:24] hey am new i need graphical solution is this a known bug [22:24] reisio, ok cool. i mean i would like the server to be stand alone. no computer needed. just use the router, or an old router with firmware hack . [22:25] chris__: there is no ose anymore [22:25] how can I tell if my wireless card supports n ? [22:25] chris__: it used to be they had the free version (OSE) and the non-free version as separate offerings [22:25] reisio, sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose says [22:25] chris__: now it's just free by default, and the non-free stuff is an extension to the free [22:25] reisio, i only mention android cause its convinient to use it as a remote.. its always on you and always powered on. [22:25] Guys, is there something that can go wrong while installing new kernel using this http://www.howopensource.com/2011/08/how-to-install-linux-kernel-3-0-1-in-ubuntu-11-04-10-10-and-10-04/ method, or Synaptic? [22:25] chris__: the extensions bring USB 2.0 support in [22:26] chris__: well you could be on an old version, or maybe Ubuntu didn't change the name [22:26] reisio, so I just want the virtualbox then. right? [22:26] * reisio shrugs [22:26] schnuffle, Thanks, Just tried mplayer, and when I run it through ssh it runs LOCALLY on the client. Not remotely on the server. Looking at your VLC link now [22:26] * chris__ jumps [22:26] ubukou: yeah... but a remote isn't a server... [22:26] reisio, where would i get hardware compatible with regular routers? [22:26] schnuffle, I really appreciate your help. [22:26] ubukou: the only reason Android is convenient as a remote is because your mobile device is convenient as a remote, and presumably came with Android already installed (convenient) [22:26] reisio, i know :P :) [22:26] proka: it's up to you, I find always better to use the packages the Official Ubuntu Repository provides [22:26] do DISPLAY=:0 mplayer -fs /path/to/video [22:26] ubukou: hardware for what, light switches? [22:26] skiphuffman: at least giving some hints, when I can solve your original problem [22:27] reisio, yes. [22:27] ubukou: I'd ask #hardware about that [22:27] xangua: So, that would be the Synaptic method? [22:27] alternate install is tough [22:27] could someone pastebin what their default 12.04 /etc/apt/sources.list is? think the upgrade mangled mine up [22:27] Has anyone writen any shell scripts using whiptail? [22:27] silverghost: it's the same... [22:27] hey no graphics iin alternate it confuses me i am a noob [22:28] BJD10: what's whiptail [22:28] Can anyone help me get connected to a WiFi network from the command line of Ubuntu Server? [22:28] silverghost: so don't use it [22:28] * chris__ shocked to find that putting virtualbox on takes up 746 mb [22:28] is this a known bug [22:28] reisio: its is a utility that makes pretty menus on the termnal === quiesense is now known as quiescens [22:28] hilo: wicd has a curses frontend, IIRC [22:28] hilo: why would you have a 'server' using wifi? [22:28] BJD10: link? [22:29] BJD10: ...so it doesn't have to have a wire running to it [22:29] is kubuntu in trouble canonical stopped funding em [22:29] why else does a person use wifi [22:29] perhaps he doesnt have access to ethernet...no need to pay for wifi when your neighbor does [22:29] silverghost: I'm not sure they ever _funded_ them [22:29] yaa they funded em [22:29] BJD18: My internet went down and I am borrowing from my neighbor (with permission) until Wednesday when TimeWarner finally comes to fix my crap. [22:29] I am trying to "burn" a windows iso to a usb stick with unetbootin, but unetbootin can not see my usb drive.... any help? [22:29] silverghost: how? [22:29] schnuffle, VLC really looks like more of a video processing tool, not a video player. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [22:29] reisio: link to what? whiptail? its installed on the sytem .. man whiptail [22:30] reisio: what is wicd [22:30] kubuntu was funded by canonical [22:30] skiphuffman: vlc is the best player ever [22:30] what is lilo? [22:30] CokeAddict: http://serverfault.com/questions/6714/how-to-make-windows-7-usb-flash-install-media-from-linux#answer-167060 [22:30] vlc is bad use sm player [22:30] skiphuffman: but it can do much more [22:30] could someone pastebin what their default 12.04 /etc/apt/sources.list is? I think the upgrade mangled mine. [22:30] hello again [22:30] eloooo [22:30] reisio, thanks [22:30] BJD10: https://fedorahosted.org/newt/ :p [22:30] reisio, i ll look there for this .. [22:30] hilo: you may want to consider something a little more creative :) try ddwrt on a router.. then just bridge the router to the other network and not have to change any computers as all [22:30] hilo: a wireless configurator [22:31] Ah! I just found the HTTP interface. Let me check that out [22:31] crankharder: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [22:31] \quit [22:31] according to google. lilo is a air matress [22:31] what makes you doubt it ? [22:32] reisio: whiptail is the wrapper around newt... it is also what every text dialog box you see in Ubuntu is made with (look at the ps when you get one) [22:32] chris__: lilo is a boot manager like grub [22:32] Lilo is "LInux LOader" the predecessor to grub [22:32] which is better kubuntu or opensuse === Geek{BRB} is now known as GeekAdmin [22:32] BJD10: yes I know that now, no thanks you to :p [22:32] schlaftier, do I need lilo if I have grub? [22:32] silverghost: if you use KDE then go for Suse, much better integration and it just works [22:32] silverghost: all distros are the same deep down [22:32] silverghost: openSUSE is the unpaid beta testing distro of SUSE enterprise [22:32] chris__: no [22:32] BJD10: I have dd-wrt but I am sad to say I can't remember the pw. I have it written on an index card in a box at my parents house 30 miles away; no one is there to check it. I don't want to hard reset and lose all my settings which I idiotically didn't back up :( [22:33] Kubuntu is the KDE version of Ubuntu which is based on Debian [22:33] How can I configure nautilus to show MiB instead of MB? (I'm using ubuntu 12.04) [22:33] i liked suse but novell makes me mad :p [22:33] schlaftier, can I have lilo and grub both installed? [22:33] schnuffle: ty [22:34] suse is cool [22:34] hilo: well your probably not going to get the server on line then.. you will most likly be required to download and install additional tools ... no internet means no tools. [22:34] prixon`: what makes you think it's showing decimal MB? [22:34] for new comers ubuntu is best i think [22:34] silverghost: I'm right now on Suse 12.1 and with KDE it's just usable. Ubuntu and KE is a big mess, but that's just my experience [22:34] besides... you would have to whipe out most of the ddwrt configs to bridge it anyway. [22:34] kool [22:34] kde is the best imho [22:34] reisio, I download files from the internet and get different size... [22:35] prixon`: hrmm? [22:35] I am using my laptop to forward between the server and the internet temporarily. [22:35] kde interface is cool kde apps r stronger kde just rocks now kde is stable also :D [22:35] BJD10: I am using my laptop to forward between the server and the internet temporarily. [22:35] prixon`: how many bytes does it say the file is? And how many MB does it say?

[22:37] Anyone here have an ATI HD7000 Series Graphics card on Ubuntu? [22:37] does anyone else have alot of entries in grub for the same os? [22:37] lol 7000 cards r buggy [22:37] are they with catalyst? [22:37] yes, I'm using ubuntu 12.04, and sadly this is gnome3 with nautilus 3 [22:37] chris__: with each kernel update you will egt a new entry [22:37] ati cards r very bad for linu [22:37] reisio, sorry, nautilus 3.4 [22:37] 3.4.1 :D [22:38] schlaftier, can I remove the kernals then? I only need to boot from one [22:38] are the hd6000 as buggy? [22:38] nope [22:38] less buggy [22:38] reisio, and also gnome 3.4.1 [22:38] prixon`: I'd ask #gnome (or #gnome on irc.gnome.org) [22:38] i really want a 7000 card due to it's performance, but i'm seing lack of compatibility for it [22:38] gnome is simple but it hides too many things [22:38] its* [22:38] kde is for tigers like me :D [22:38] silverghost nvidia is the best for linux ? [22:39] reisio, I asked there "how I can change...." and got an answer "no". are you using ubuntu 12.04? [22:39] nikitis: 7000 what? [22:39] yaa nvidia is less buggy afaik [22:39] okay [22:39] prixon`: eh? [22:39] will unity run on a gd6670 [22:39] yaa [22:39] unity will probably run on any dedicated graphics [22:39] it will run cool in 6670 [22:39] *gd [22:39] reisio, are you using ubuntu 12.04? with gnome 3.4? [22:39] 7950 [22:39] prixon`: nope [22:40] 7950 seems exponentially faster than nvidia's latest cards [22:40] reisio, what distro/version are you using? [22:40] unity's good thing is hud thats it nothing more i like [22:40] according to bitcoin mining card charts [22:40] I can't get into ubuntu 3d - I think it may be graphics driver related [22:40] kde apps r amazing [22:40] gnome apps omg [22:41] !ot | silverghost [22:41] :p [22:41] silverghost: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [22:41] is installer crash a bug [22:41] u did not tell me [22:41] prixon`: something else [22:42] So do the latest catalyst 12.4 or 12.6 beta work okay for ATI 7950 cards? [22:42] silverghost: obviously, anything that isn't expected is a bug [22:42] kk thanks cheers :D [22:43] http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=8288 [22:43] reisio, can you recommend a good file manager? [22:43] check my desktop :D [22:43] prixon`: nautilus is a good file manager [22:43] Nobody has ati 7950? [22:43] silverghost, wrong place to paste that [22:44] reisio, I find it difficult using nautilus when I see different file size than the rest of the world [22:44] prixon`: that is undoubtedly configurable === ty_ is now known as legasp [22:45] prixon: konqueror is cool too [22:45] reisio, I sure hope so. because I didn't find a satisfying answer in the forums. they say GNOME changed this and that's it [22:45] browser and file manager [22:46] ok ubuntu installedfrom wubi [22:46] kk [22:46] now how to browse windows folders [22:46] I don't like the KDE look and feel.. that's why I don't try konqueror [22:46] Kornkage, in media I think [22:46] check the /host [22:46] prixon`: that's possible, but even if that's the case you'd only have to recompile nautilus [22:46] host , thanks :) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [22:47] prixon`: if you just want to replace it, though, try Thunar [22:47] kornkage: np [22:47] prixon`: you might want to keep using nautilus for your desktop, though [22:48] reisio, I'm using ubuntu for 2 years, but I fear I have no clue how to recompile things [22:48] i cant get my cam to work in cheese [22:48] prixon`: well there's plenty of info out there if you're interested [22:48] prixon`: I'd definitely make sure you can't just toggle a pref first, though [22:48] is there a form in ubuntu that configures a ligitech cams [22:49] prixon`: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665005 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1871421&page=2 [22:49] Gnome bug 665005 in Preferences "Nautilus 3.2.1 Displays "Wrong" Filesizes Compared to All Other Programs & Websites (Decimal vs Binary)" [Major,Resolved: wontfix] [22:49] ImTheDude: most probably work out of the box [22:50] this cam is older and everyone has problems with configureing it in ubuntu 10.4 it is a logitech though [22:51] ImTheDude: 10.04 is old [22:51] ImTheDude: what does lsusb say about it? [22:52] nothing [22:52] schnuffle1, If I understand correctly, those two sites say there's no way of changing it.. I read the ubuntuforums one earlier today [22:52] where lsusb [22:53] ImTheDude: in a terminal, lsusb [22:53] prixon`: that's my interpretation as well. IF you want the file size in bytes you can use df on the console [22:54] reiso how do i show you my screen [22:54] I don't understand why gnome chooses this crazy path [22:54] ImTheDude: just paste the line referring to the camera [22:55] prixon`: apparently your're not alone [22:55] reisio: im using a vbox [22:55] ImTheDude: so? [22:56] Bus 002 Device 002: ID 80ee:0021 [22:57] prixon: open a terminal du -h path_to_file [22:57] schnuffle1, I think vlc is going to do the trick for me. Once I figure out how to get the http interface to work [22:57] Hi, I have found that old webcams aren't worth getting to work. You can get a really great Logitech webcam on ebay for around 22 dollars that is HD and works wonderfully the C310 is great. [22:57] skiphuffman: yeah, vlc is like imagemagick, powerfull but easy to handle [22:57] you can get a new one that does 720p for $30 [22:58] resisio [22:58] ImTheDude: how do you know that line refers to the cam? [22:58] not easy [22:58] i dont [22:58] ImTheDude: so your host is... Windows? [22:59] ya [22:59] ImTheDude: How about using pastebinit to paste your lsusb: lsusb | pastebinit and the just post the link [22:59] well it's in a guest [22:59] he'd have to make the hardware apparent to the guest first [22:59] schnuffle1: what make/model is it? [22:59] schnuffle1 i forgot how to do that [22:59] ? [23:00] ImTheDude: what make/model is it? [23:00] im out [23:00] schnuffle1, what FM are you using? [23:00] how much data can be removed in 5 seconds? [23:00] chris__: rots [23:00] * reisio rolls eyes @ imthedude [23:00] chris__, how is that an ubuntu issue [23:00] FM? [23:01] Did anyone answer my question towards linux support for ATI Radeon HD7000 series? [23:01] prixon`: mostly my file manager is the console.

[23:30] Jameson: did you have any clue? [23:30] hi, how do I edit preferences in the Gedit application? [23:30] I can't seem to find the 'edit' menu heading any where [23:31] MrJrSr, no, all that i can tell you to do , you already tried [23:31] At the very top, there are the 'close', 'minimize' and 'maximize' icons, from left to right [23:33] schnuffle1 any ideas ? [23:33] Billy GAtes : i reccomend ubuntu lol kudos people :D [23:33] in the row below that, there is the 'Create new document' button, 'Open' button, 'Save' button, 'print' icon, and a few more buttons/icons, from left to right [23:33] I can't see any 'Edit' option [23:33] any pointers? [23:34] ahoy. [23:34] Robiq: ? couldn't you create the device with sudo mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0 [23:35] <`Korvin> I'm making a complete backup of my system for when I reinstall ubuntu [23:35] anyone gotten dual or multi-display working in precise with nvidia-current? [23:35] <`Korvin> should I boot into a livedisk to completely copy over everything, or can I do it with the ubuntu partition I'm copying [23:35] when i try i got this: mknod: `/dev/ppp': File exists [23:36] <`Korvin> crw, I use twin view [23:36] <`Korvin> works well [23:36] `Korvin, i'm a noob. does that mean mirrored displays? [23:36] Robiq: fine so you created it, restart your pppd and retry to conect [23:36] <`Korvin> no [23:36] and now i got this error: Couldn't open the /dev/ppp device: Permission denied [23:37] paste ls -l /dev/ppp [23:37] i am sintalling gnuradio, and is asking me, do i have SUDO priviledges? i am mega lunix noob [23:37] `Korvin, right on, sounds like what i need. currently i've got one monitor working and the other is a gray screen and the display manager control panel applet doesn't see both monitors. [23:37] crw-r--r-- 1 root root 108, 0 Jun 3 03:25 /dev/ppp [23:37] yes [23:37] thx [23:37] got it [23:37] :) [23:37] Kornkage: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:38] ok [23:38] hi all [23:38] <`Korvin> anyone have any input? [23:38] kornkage: sudo [23:39] I'm using a very old laptop, and I wanted to change the desktop environment. However I wanted to ask how does Ubuntu server compare? What desktop env does it use, and how heavy is it? [23:39] Robiq: and you restarted pptpd? [23:39] not yet [23:40] GreekFreak, server has no desktop environment at all [23:40] Can I safely disable Backup Monitor,Disk Notifications,Onboard, and Files? [23:40] GreekFreak: Yea server is all textual. I recommend you try gnome classic or xfce t [23:40] GreekFreak, try lubuntu for super lightweight [23:40] !lubuntu | GreekFreak [23:40] GreekFreak: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [23:41] GreekFreak: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell xubuntu-desktop [23:41] Robiq: then do it and then retry [23:41] GeekAdmin, if by classic you mean gnome-panel then thats the package to install not gnome-shell [23:41] !notunity | GeekAdmin [23:41] GeekAdmin: 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 [23:42] ok its don i was rebooted server and nothing change, the same error: pppd[1347]: Couldn't open the /dev/ppp device: Permission denied [23:42] bazhang, GeekAdmin, thanks guys, I'll give them a try then. At the moment I tried another lightweight distro I was recommended, but I'm having package dependency issues [23:42] Hi, I have found a lot on how to re-enable hibernate on 12.04, but nothing works. For example, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1944752. In my case, I can even see the suspend item in the menu, but no hibernate option. No matter what I do. Any ideas are warmly welcome. [23:43] GeekAdmin, xubuntu is not much lighter than straight up gnome [23:43] Ah, should mention that I am on Gnome [23:43] ubottu, wierd, I used gnome-shell .. and then I had an option to switch to gnome classic no effects [23:43] GeekAdmin: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:43] I have gnome-tweak-tool installed and activated the shell extension "Alternative Status Menu Extension" [23:43] lol [23:43] Robiq: under which user runs pppd? [23:43] NimoTh: is it wubi install? [23:43] bazhang: yea I like gnome way better than xubuntu..but nopt the new gnome..I'm all confused on the differences though [23:43] GeekAdmin, then you installed gnome-panel at some point [23:43] root [23:44] bazhang: ah I probably did [23:44] tuxgeek: nope [23:44] or how can i check this ? [23:44] GeekAdmin, better not to offer advice until you are clear then. [23:44] im loged as root so i think is root [23:44] Robiq: ps aux | grep pppd [23:44] bazhang: but wait, I've set up a ton of people with gnome...and all I typed was sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [23:45] bazhang: and then they had an option for gnome classic [23:45] `Korvin, ah, i think i remember why i dismissed twinview - it makes both physical monitors into one logical monitor so when you maximize a window it goes across both, yes? [23:45] are you sure bazhang, you have to run gnome-panel. I'm almost positive I didnt with others [23:45] <`Korvin> no crw [23:45] <`Korvin> it appears as one to display manager [23:45] then i'm crazy :) [23:45] <`Korvin> but it doesn't actually work that way [23:45] oy [23:45] root :) [23:46] right, i'll google around a bit more and see if i can't find an xorg.conf that'll work that way [23:46] Robiq: and the group [23:50] Robiq: a very unsecure way is to sudo chmod 666 /dev/ppp. but the correct way would be to sort out under which group pppd is running and then change the group owner of /dev/ppp [23:51] Hi, i have configured a serialport with stty [23:51] for complicated reasons i need to flush the "read buffer", is this posible? [23:52] isbric, reboot [23:53] can onyone help link me to an easy tutorial on how to install postfix? [23:53] !postfix | chsados [23:53] chsados: postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer [23:53] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix [23:53] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix isnt dummed down enough :( [23:54] eh [23:54] chsados: sudo apt-get install postfix; vi /etc/postfix/main.cf; echo "done!" [23:54] ive got it installed [23:54] i just dont know what exactly i need to edit [23:54] chsados, google. [23:54] yea i tryin [23:54] chsados: edit to achieve which goal [23:54] to get it all working [23:55] what needs to be changed in the man.cf [23:55] main.cf [23:55] "i like to get bind working" xD [23:55] lal [23:55] chsados: normally postix gets confiured during install and you choose the mode in which you want it to run [23:56] Hey guys I just upgraded to 12.04 LTS and Gtalk on Empathy isn't working, it was working fine before I upgraded, I tried reinstalling Empathy but it still doesn't work. [23:56] well right now i just need it to work so it will send out emails to get my sites registration to actually send out registration links [23:56] chsados: sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix to redo that and editing the main.cf/master.cf is only advised when you know what you are doing [23:57] schnuffle1 so youre saying just a clean install normally would get it working? [23:57] chsados: do you have a smarthost where to send your email to? [23:57] chsados: yes [23:57] i do not [23:58] chsados: so you want your postfix to send the mails directly to the MX mail server [23:58] hi folks. [23:58] Anybody can recommend a calendar program thats integrate com google calendar, and not be heavly? (unlike thunderbird) [23:59] i guess so, ideally id like it to allow my test site which is located on the same server to send out email links to say my gmail account but if im willing to go barebones until site is fully operational [23:59] here goes. brb. :)
