| _k2s_ | reisio, some footer blocks that are floated to the left are displayed incorrect. They are are suposed to be in line (have widths set and everything) but in the phone those divs get knocked lines down | 00:00 |
| terminhell | Or you can sacrfice 3 virgins and commit your soul to Moharns Daggon for a 1 minute install... | 00:00 |
| bazhang | terminhell, stop that | 00:00 |
| terminhell | >.< | 00:00 |
| reisio | _k2s_: why would you float a footer? Also: why would you even _have_ a footer, web sites aren't pieces of paper | 00:00 |
| mrguser | hi | 00:00 |
| mrguser | Hello guys | 00:01 |
| terminhell | footer information is stored on some sites, ones that use CMS's like drupal themes to place data always at the bottom of websites | 00:01 |

| HoNgOuRu | I uninstalled pulseaudio cause only 1 soundcard was working, after reinstalling it now the sound card that was not working before is working now, but the one working before is not working now.... any clues????? | 00:02 |
| etfb | _k2s_: reisio shows a limited grasp of web development experience, but he/she is right that your design sounds a little complicated. I have an android phone, and much more CSS/HTML experience. Send me a link and I'll take a look. | 00:02 |
| reisio | <- professional web developer of legend | 00:02 |
| terminhell | oh snap | 00:03 |
| hangdeadman | terminhell: unity --replace resets unity after any break in the desktop from what I understand. | 00:03 |
| _k2s_ | reisio, sorry i maybe been unclear its just a div that is at the bottom of the content which has additional divs floated with set widths. I need this block for additional info :) (my client does actually) | 00:03 |
| reisio | _k2s_: it should appear the same unless you are doing something quite wrong (like relying on browser width) | 00:03 |
| shahriyarguliyev | HoNgOuRu: I have had the same problem. Look up this link, it worked as well : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure | 00:04 |
| terminhell | _k2s_: are you using joomla or some other CMS? Maybe theres an addon for mobile optimization? | 00:04 |
| reisio | terminhell: that'd only make it worse | 00:04 |
| HoNgOuRu | shahriyarguliyev, thank u | 00:04 |

I think that i might have found the solution to my audio problems, but i do not know how to implement the directions of "adding radeon.audio=1 as a kernel boot parameter" (as per described at http://voices.canonical.com/david.henningsson/2012/04/14/audio-over-hdmi-and-displayport-in-ubuntu-12-04/) | 00:06 |
| terminhell | hangdeadman: you could give gnome-shell, kde, xfce, lxde etc...too many options out there | 00:06 |
| _k2s_ | terminhell, all is well with the site just the footer i could correct it with no problem but with android i can not browse the DOM or just use a debugger like firebug.. | 00:06 |
| shahriyarguliyev | terminhell: "Installation is complete. You may now run Ubuntu on other computers by booting them with this drive inserted." I made a Make Startup DIsk. gave this message. damn i DID STH wrong? | 00:07 |
| terminhell | _k2s_: ahhhh, is your droid rooted? | 00:07 |
| med_ | clark, you can just break in on grub with any key and then use "e" to edit your boot line | 00:07 |
| med_ | and give it a go | 00:07 |
| med_ | or edit /etc/default/grub | 00:07 |
| med_ | clark, ^ | 00:07 |
| med_ | and then sudo update-grub | 00:07 |
| terminhell | shahriyarguliyev: hit enter and remove the disk, see if it boots | 00:08 |

| Ugly_Duck | can you upgrade a ubuntu desktop installation to a server installation? | 00:08 |
| bazhang | !lamp | Ugly_Duck | 00:08 |
| ubottu | Ugly_Duck: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 00:09 |
| shahriyarguliyev | Ugly_Duck: ubuntu server is not for free | 00:09 |
| stef1a | anyone know how to right click by tapping on the mouse-pad (instead of actually using the button) on a laptop using ubuntu 12.04? | 00:09 |
| terminhell | shahriyarguliyev: then yes, i have no idea what you did then, reiso spelled it out clearly, tell me what exactly you did | 00:09 |
| bazhang | shahriyarguliyev, sure it is | 00:09 |
| ejo | sidegrade sort of -- ubuntu server simply has less desktop / GUI packages installed. | 00:09 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| shahriyarguliyev | bazhang: what for free? | 00:09 |
| terminhell | stef1a: tap the bottom right corner | 00:09 |
| bazhang | shahriyarguliyev, it's all free. dont answer if you dont know | 00:09 |
| stef1a | terminhell: wow! thanks! so simple... | 00:09 |
| quebre | (...)https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP(...) <- haha, why is this common info require https protcol, silly thing is silly, please do not abuse https like that ;) | 00:10 |
| shahriyarguliyev | terminhell: can i install OS from that usb? or only boot OS ? | 00:10 |
| hangdeadman | terminhell: can you also middle click using the mouse pad on a laptop? | 00:10 |
| terminhell | shahriyarguliyev: not sure, both is possible, but im not sure what you did exactly | 00:10 |
| terminhell | hangdeadman: if you have your xorg configured for it im sure, or if your pad supoprts multi gestures | 00:11 |
| Ugly_Duck | bazhang: i was going to say, how the hell can you download it without paying for it if it wasn't free | 00:12 |
| bazhang | Ugly_Duck, just install lamp, and desktop is then server, once you set it up | 00:12 |
| terminhell | shahriyarguliyev: i think that message is standard, saying that you can continue to use that usb to install ubuntu on other computers... | 00:13 |
| shahriyarguliyev | bazhang: I am sorry for the wrong information, but once i wanted to install Ub.server it was not for free. now i looked up site both are free, also Cloud. | 00:13 |
| Ugly_Duck | its funny how i could install 7.10 on the server, but 12 wouldn't install | 00:13 |
| terminhell | shahriyarguliyev: and that the installation to your C: is complete | 00:13 |

| Robr3rd | I ran "gksudo nautilus" did a few things, then it stopped responding so I "xkill"ed it. Now, however, any time I type in "gksudo nautilus", I get the passwrod prompt, but a Root instance of Nautilus does not pop up afterwards. | 00:17 |
| qwebirc68172 | bt visability off | 00:17 |
| terminhell | Robr3rd: restart | 00:17 |
| escott | Robr3rd, running nautilus as root is a bad idea | 00:17 |
| terminhell | qwebirc68172: run it from a terminal | 00:17 |
| shahriyarguliyev | terminhell: do you know what exckusive advantages does ubuntu server have? that are not included in ubuntu desktop? | 00:18 |
| qwebirc68172 | lspci | grep bluetooth? | 00:18 |
| terminhell | shahriyarguliyev: no GUI for uneeded overhead and cpu/mem usage | 00:18 |
| Robr3rd | terminhell, Yes, restarting does solve the problem, but this happens every time I try doing this, then restart, then happens again. | 00:18 |
| randomusername | on ubuntu 12.04, python doesn't find the packages that gets installed. for example, I try to install urllib3 and it's put in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ but when I run python (-v tells me it's 2.7) it can't find the package | 00:18 |

| randomusername | i've tried both pip install urllib3 and python setup.py install in a downloaded copy, and it's not found | 00:19 |
| Robr3rd | escott, I am fully aware, but then again, doing things via Terminal doesn't exactly expedite the process. ;) All I'm doing is managing themes in /usr/share so there's not much harm I could do anyway. :) | 00:19 |
| terminhell | Robr3rd: run it from a terminal and check the output | 00:19 |
| terminhell | shahriyarguliyev: CLI only yes and a few other things relevent to server environments | 00:19 |
| terminhell | Robr3rd: what kind of themes, there maybe tools already in place that will make the process easier | 00:20 |

| Robr3rd | terminhell, In Terminal there is no output. I run the command, enter the sudo password, and then the Terminal cursor skips to the next line and blinks, as if a program is running. So it seems to be running, but nothing is actually (visually) changing. | 00:21 |

| tjayh913 | devxdev, I could still use my admin password to make my second account an admin, now I would just rather recover my first account | 01:06 |
| tjayh913 | is there a way to get a log of what I actually typed in root to error check? | 01:07 |
| terminhell | bash.history | 01:07 |
| devxdev | sudo ..^ | 01:07 |
| escott | randomusername, isnt the egg just the installer? i mean what are the permissions on the files unpacked after running easy_install | 01:07 |
| tjayh913 | will see if I can still access root | 01:08 |
| randomusername | hmm that's probably correct | 01:08 |
| guest2 | Hey every time I login, I get a connection failed. I don't think it's Thunderbird, because it connects fine, and I don't think it's Empathy because I uninstalled it. What do y'all think it could be? | 01:08 |
| randomusername | lemme check | 01:08 |
| terminhell | guest2: "online accounts" ? | 01:09 |
| guest2 | I also tried renaming the empathy user config directories | 01:09 |
| guest2 | Nah I don't use that | 01:09 |
| tjayh913 | well I got into my primary account in the terminal | 01:09 |
| randomusername | yeah I think I broke it when I changed the permissions in an attempt to fix it | 01:09 |

| samisheikh | hi | 01:10 |
| qwebirc57362 | is in normal that ALL my running processes are "sleeping" even if using cpu like firefox is now? | 01:10 |
| samisheikh | i installed xbmc on a nettop that i just bought, but i am having issues getting the dolby digital working with my receiver | 01:10 |
| samisheikh | i have put the following settings under audio | 01:10 |
| samisheikh | http://pastebin.com/PSS7eRwL | 01:10 |
| terminhell | qwebirc57362: yes, most will not be active | 01:10 |
| samisheikh | My O/S is ubuntu 10.04 | 01:10 |
| randomusername | escott, nah it installs it into the .egg | 01:11 |
| randomusername | /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/urllib3-1.3-py2.7.egg/urllib3 | 01:12 |
| tjayh913 | was "bash.history" supposed to give me the log of what I typed, as in root it told me that the command was not found | 01:12 |
| devxdev | dont do sudo that was a mistake | 01:12 |
| guest2 | Any other ideas why I would be getting that? Or is there some kind of log I can check after login to see? | 01:12 |
| escott | randomusername, well those permissions are obviously not going to work for most users. they cant even cd into that folder | 01:12 |
| guest2 | Would dmesg show it? | 01:12 |
| escott | randomusername, you probably want 755 on that folder | 01:12 |
| randomusername | and python apitest.py gives me "No module named urllib3" while sudo python apitest.py works | 01:12 |
| randomusername | yeah but should it be that by default? :3 | 01:13 |
| devxdev | @tjay913 just tail ~/bash_history | 01:13 |
| Zeelot | so I installed supermeatboy and changed the resolution to something unsupported... how can I fix this? purging the package and reinstalling did not fix it | 01:13 |
| devxdev | ~/.bash_history****** | 01:13 |
| randomusername | i'll alias updatepython to sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ | 01:14 |
| randomusername | good enough | 01:14 |
| randomusername | thansk escott | 01:14 |
| terminhell | Zeelot: from xorg.conf? | 01:14 |
| Zeelot | terminhell: what do you mean? | 01:14 |
| terminhell | ............ | 01:15 |
| LoOoD | Is preseed/early_command ran before or after /target is mounted? | 01:15 |
| tjayh913 | hmm I typed the command correctly | 01:15 |
| terminhell | Zeelot: look in /etc/X11/ and dig around till you find monitor | 01:15 |
| devxdev | what does it tell you? | 01:16 |
| Zeelot | terminhell: till I find monitor? | 01:17 |
| HoNgOuRu | its not working, only 1 sound card is playing sound... could it be muted somewhere? where should I check ? | 01:17 |
| terminhell | Zeelot: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d | 01:17 |
| tjayh913 | it shows that I did the exact same command as I intended to do | 01:18 |
| terminhell | oh wait, ubuntu doesnt use X anymore does it? | 01:18 |
| Zeelot | terminhell: this is a game that I run in fullscreen mode, is the answer really going to be in an X11 config file? | 01:18 |
| terminhell | what was the question again? | 01:18 |
| Zeelot | I have /etc/X11/xorg.conf but nothing in there seems useful | 01:18 |
| RecursiveBeast | hey guys, trying to install 12.04 server amd64 on a intel atom d2700 but the install disk tells me "This kernel requires x86_64, only detected i686 cpu" | 01:19 |
| Zeelot | the game starts at a resolution I cannot see (after setting it) | 01:19 |
| Zeelot | I don't know how to reset it | 01:19 |
| terminhell | hopefully the game has a config file | 01:19 |
| terminhell | or reinstall the game | 01:19 |
| Zeelot | I'm not sure where to find it | 01:19 |
| zykotick9 | RecursiveBeast: yes your atom is only 32bit | 01:19 |
| RecursiveBeast | thing is... according to Intel... that CPU is 64 bit | 01:19 |
| Zeelot | and reinstalling didn't work | 01:19 |
| zykotick9 | RecursiveBeast: s/yes/guess/ | 01:19 |
| terminhell | oh k... id start by looking in /etc/game | 01:20 |
| guest2 | Anyone else have an idea as to why I get a "connection failed" message at login? Any logs I can check? | 01:20 |
| sileni | Tomboy's global shortcuts don't work in ubuntu 11.04, anyone else experienced this issue before? | 01:20 |
| guest2 | gnome3 logs or x11 log or something? | 01:20 |
| terminhell | or in /home/user/.local or /username/.gamefolder | 01:20 |
| terminhell | guest2: yes, there are log readers | 01:20 |

| nina666 | hi... im suffering from freezing my whole laptop... im gonna bang my head against the wall seriously!! i've already posted in the forum in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1998667 but no responses what so ever untill now... i really need some help regarding this matter as my laptop goes crazy every few minutes... | 01:21 |
| guest2 | Can you give me the name of one of them terminhell ? | 01:21 |
| terminhell | log viewer | 01:21 |
| guest2 | no I need the log itself, not a program to view logs | 01:21 |
| terminhell | dljsnvjfn | 01:21 |
| terminhell | that makes no sense | 01:21 |
| guest2 | And I'm not sure where to even really look, since I'm not sure what program is throwing that error | 01:22 |
| RecursiveBeast | zykotick9: check the wikipedia page for Intel Atom, it has the d2700 listed as 64 bit. I'm pretty sure that's my proc | 01:22 |
| guest2 | I always read logs with less anyway haha | 01:22 |
| guest2 | I'm spartan like that | 01:22 |
| home | i dont want a root acct.. how do i change user id so that i dont need to gksudo nautilus and do my file maintenance? | 01:22 |
| guest2 | What do you mean file maintenance, home? | 01:22 |
| nerdistmonk | I just updated to pulseaudio 2.0 on xubuntu 12.04 and now i have no sound, can someone help me? | 01:22 |
| zykotick9 | RecursiveBeast: ? i know my atom is 64bit... you'll have to verify your own. if you can get into gnu/linux currently "cat /proc/cpuinfo" should give model info | 01:22 |
| home | i dont know how to whisper back.. how do i? | 01:22 |
| terminhell | no root account? use windo..hmm good luck | 01:22 |
| devxdev | he does not want to type gksu .. | 01:22 |
| home | ^ yes | 01:22 |
| terminhell | we're laughing AT you home | 01:23 |
| purencool | I have just install a ssh key on my git server the its permission are set a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root rsa.pub is this a good idea? | 01:23 |
| guest2 | I would sudo the program you use for maintenance and not nautilus. My guess is that a root nautilus will launch root processes | 01:23 |
| guest2 | i.e. be unsafe | 01:23 |
| home | i dont care if i brick the box... reinstalls are nothing | 01:23 |
| escott | purencool, the pub is public. so yes thats safe | 01:23 |
| terminhell | then just always log in as root... | 01:23 |
| purencool | thanks | 01:23 |
| terminhell | but that wont solve everything | 01:24 |
| guest2 | Speaking of root, why is it that I have to login as root to do testparm for samba? | 01:24 |
| guest2 | If I sudo testparm > smb.conf, it fails, but if I su into root and do it, it works fine | 01:25 |
| terminhell | not sure | 01:25 |
| terminhell | su and sudo are slightly diff | 01:25 |
| guest2 | Yea | 01:25 |
| terminhell | have you tried sudo -s | 01:25 |
| guest2 | But smb.conf is owned by root. Seems like if sudo is making my effective userid root's, then it should work fie | 01:25 |
| guest2 | Just like every other time sudo does things for you | 01:25 |
| nina666 | wow.. i didnt get any responses ... | 01:25 |
| guest2 | This is the only case I've seen it fail | 01:25 |
| nerdistmonk | I just updated to pulseaudio 2.0 on xubuntu 12.04 x64 and now i have no sound, can anyone help? | 01:25 |

| guest2 | genii-around: how so | 01:26 |
| guest2 | oh | 01:26 |
| terminhell | can you nutshell the probplem/when it happens? | 01:26 |
| escott | guest2, sudo runs the first command as root but the > is in your current bash shell. thats why it fails. command | sudo tee -a and in many cases you might not need to say sudo command | 01:27 |
| guest2 | ahhh. neat | 01:27 |
| guest2 | Thanks :D | 01:27 |
| HoNgOuRu | can anybody help? I have 2 soundcards but only can hear one. when switching cards per application with pavucontrol I get no sound althought sound level bars move | 01:27 |
| sacarlson | RecursiveBeast: seems other have had this problem http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/325554-28-atom-d2700-cedar-trail it seems to be the mother board that disables it | 01:29 |
| nina666 | terminhell, u talking to me? :) | 01:29 |
| terminhell | nina666: yes | 01:29 |
| nerdistmonk | I just updated to pulseaudio 2.0 on xubuntu 12.04 and ive lost sound, can anybody help me? | 01:29 |
| RecursiveBeast | sacarlson: thanks! I thought something was weird. i'll follow up on that link | 01:29 |
| nina666 | terminhell, i both happens when im working with my laptop as well as sometimes when its idle... | 01:30 |
| sacarlson | RecursiveBeast: I didn't see any way to correct it maybe later they will provide a bios flash update? | 01:30 |
| terminhell | nina666: what "both" happens? | 01:30 |
| nina666 | terminhell, but not fully idle actually, i was downlowding something :D | 01:30 |
| nina666 | terminhell, means on both working and idle status | 01:31 |
| terminhell | nina666: your speaking in broken sentences | 01:31 |
| RecursiveBeast | sacarlson: seems to be the case.... i'll have to return this board... i just bought it :( | 01:32 |
| terminhell | nina666: i dont understand what your asking | 01:32 |
| nina666 | terminhell, ok sry about that. my laptop freezes from time to time. no matter what im doing, it happens. that the actual situation | 01:33 |
| nina666 | and i've put more details on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1998667 | 01:33 |
| kion | nina666 have you done Ctrl + Alt + F1 when that happens? | 01:34 |
| sacarlson | HoNgOuRu: do you have speakers pluged into your other card? | 01:34 |
| allquixotic_ | How do I change my Ubuntu Software Center account password? | 01:34 |
| terminhell | sounds like a kernel panic | 01:34 |
| terminhell | in which ctrl alt f1 wont work either | 01:35 |
| nerdistmonk | anyone? | 01:35 |
| sacarlson | allquixotic_: that would be your admin account you would have to add yourself to the sudo group | 01:35 |
| nina666 | kion, the problem is, NOTHING works on it... i cant use any keys... cant get to the terminal as well.. | 01:35 |
| terminhell | nerdistmonk: not sure man, try reinstalling it? | 01:35 |
| allquixotic_ | sacarlson: No, I mean the account I use to authenticate with the store in order to make financial transactions in the USC. | 01:35 |
| sacarlson | allquixotic_: or admin group depending on the version of ubuntu you run | 01:36 |
| allquixotic_ | sacarlson: I already know how to change my root password ;-) | 01:36 |
| nerdistmonk | i just installed it? | 01:36 |
| nina666 | terminhell, exactly | 01:36 |
| nerdistmonk | the daemon is on, my soundcard is recognized and unmuted | 01:36 |
| terminhell | are you in the audio group | 01:36 |
| nerdistmonk | my sound was working perfect before i upgraded | 01:36 |
| terminhell | nina666: have you updated recently? | 01:36 |
| sacarlson | allquixotic_: I'm not sure about that one, maybe the ubuntuone account? | 01:36 |
| allquixotic_ | sacarlson: I think you're right; it probably IS the Ubuntu One account! But I'll have to find out how to change that password somehow :) | 01:37 |
| nina666 | terminhell, yes, i think i've done that at least 3 times yesterday to make sure i got everything! :D | 01:37 |
| HoNgOuRu | sacarlson, I have speakers in the one Im hearing now, and headphones on the other one, and they are not playing any sound. both worked fine 2 days ago | 01:37 |
| terminhell | nina666: ram upgrades eh? could be issues there | 01:37 |
| allquixotic_ | ah... | 01:38 |
| terminhell | if you didnt get the right kind, or of different sizes or w/e | 01:38 |
| allquixotic_ | sacarlson: For the future, I found it. https://login.ubuntu.com | 01:38 |
| allquixotic_ | sacarlson: I can change my password there :D | 01:38 |
| RecursiveBeast | sacarlson: after reading the entire thread, it seems like it's not a mainboard issue, but rather that Intel is telling the mainboard manufacturors to disable 64bit support b/c Intel hasn't made any 64bit drivers for the atom chip... am i getting that right? | 01:38 |
| allquixotic_ | affects launchpad (if you use Ubuntu SSO to sign in to launchpad); affects ubuntu one; affects the ubuntu software center | 01:38 |
| nina666 | terminhell, i had this problem even before the RAM, then i thought maybe my memory is insufficient, so upgraded and it got worse.. but the point is, i had it before also... | 01:38 |
| sacarlson | HoNgOuRu: might try swap speaker for headphone, not lickly but sometimes I forget I turned down the volume on the wire of my headphones or someone else has played with it | 01:38 |
| nina666 | terminhell, and i ran the memtest, seemed to be fine.. | 01:39 |
| terminhell | nina666: not sure, honestly, it could be so many different factors. From overheating to kernel blacklisting issues | 01:39 |
| === Crash is now known as Guest42053 | ||
| sacarlson | RecursiveBeast: ya but they must disable it by something in the bios flash, so at some point they will probly update the flash to enable it | 01:40 |
| nina666 | terminhell, thanks for trying anyways :( im so stuck.. | 01:40 |
| samisheikh | hi can anyone help me with xbmc and audio issues? | 01:40 |
| HoNgOuRu | sacarlson, 2 hours ago I had this same problem and I uninstalled pulse and alsa and reinstalled them. after that soundcards switched now headphones are not working and speakers do work. 2 hours ago it was the other way around. | 01:40 |
| sacarlson | RecursiveBeast: or maybe a jumper setting? | 01:40 |
| RecursiveBeast | sacarlson: 4GB of RAM should be sufficient for this little IDS/IPS i'm setting up (for my house, yea it's overkill but i'm paranoid). Thanks for finding that link for me!!!! | 01:41 |
| terminhell | nina666: is your hdd in good health? what does disk manager show in the SMART data? | 01:41 |
| RecursiveBeast | sacarlson: didn't see anything in the mainboard manual about that but i can check | 01:42 |
| sacarlson | RecursiveBeast: with all those people looking at the problem and not finding a solution it doesn't sound lickly you will find one soon | 01:42 |
| nina666 | terminhell, mmm thats a good question... let me run smart ctl | 01:43 |
| sacarlson | RecursiveBeast: I would check the manufacture of the moutherboard for a bios flash update, if none then live with 32bit is ok if you have 4gb mem or less | 01:43 |
| RecursiveBeast | sacarlson: agreed. nothing in the jumper section of the manual about a 64bit switch | 01:43 |
| sacarlson | RecursiveBeast: I have a 64bit cpu and still run 32bit system | 01:44 |
| RecursiveBeast | sacarlson: i'll do that. btw the board tops out at 4GB anyway (it's mini-itx) | 01:44 |
| sacarlson | RecursiveBeast: oh then almost no performance diff will be acheaved with 64bit | 01:45 |
| escott | sacarlson, not entirely true. 64bit does have more registers which could help some workloads | 01:45 |
| HoNgOuRu | sacarlson, fixed... don't know how but the "default" sound card was muted at startup, that explains why the other card wasnt working before uninstalling pulse | 01:46 |
| HoNgOuRu | sacarlson, thank u. | 01:46 |
| crash_ovv | hey.. i just bought a lenovo g 570 nd when i ubuntu in it .. no audio drivers are found .. what should i do..? | 01:46 |

| nina666 | terminhell, ok i just installed it, it says passed. but should i perform a test? | 01:48 |
| sacarlson | escott: I can say that I did run 64bit on this same box with ubuntu 8.04 and had no noticable improvment in performance but many more problems at that time for 64bit support | 01:48 |

| sacarlson | crash_ovv: I thought conexant made modem chips, you sure that's the sound chip? | 01:52 |
| crash_ovv | yes... | 01:52 |
| terminhell | nina666: what kernel are you using? | 01:52 |

| garry2080 | is there a lst kernel available in the ubuntu repos (sorry i am so lazy to check) ? | 01:54 |
| nina666 | terminhell, and force reset my laptop 3 times per hour? :D | 01:54 |
| escott | ecr, it may be (probably is) unsafe to access the ntfs containing the wubi loopback | 01:54 |
| terminhell | nina666: switch distros? | 01:55 |
| sacarlson | Malsasa: as I always do create a print line in your code and see what codes come out of the keyboard when you hit them | 01:55 |
| ecr | escott: Is there a way I can do this? | 01:55 |
| escott | ecr, i dont think you understand. its unsafe. its not allowed. | 01:55 |

| Zeelot | .local/share/SuperMeatBoy/UserData | 01:56 |
| nina666 | terminhell, thanks alot, helped alot :) | 01:56 |
| escott | if you install the ext4 drivers for windows and can figure out how to do loopback mounts in windows | 01:56 |
| sacarlson | Malsasa: there are docs with tables that also show them but looking at it with code you see the real thing, print in hex might be better | 01:56 |

| escott | ecr, no i dont know it | 01:59 |
| sacarlson | Malsasa: when you look at the output of your code you will see that there are key on key off | 01:59 |
| Malsasa | sacarlson: can I do it with sscanf? | 01:59 |

| sacarlson | Malsasa: dam you want me to write the code for you? here http://www.thelinuxdaily.com/2010/05/grab-raw-keyboard-input-from-event-device-node-devinputevent/ | 02:01 |
| crash_ovv | sacarlson i m currently running on windows so how should i get lshw? | 02:01 |
| Malsasa | sacarlson: oh no, just the command to doit, whether scanf or what. Just that. | 02:02 |
| sacarlson | crash_ovv: boot a live cd and copy the results of lshw to a usb flash would be one method | 02:02 |
| iwan | hooi | 02:03 |
| crash_ovv | ok... | 02:03 |
| sacarlson | Malsasa: well look at the code I gave you and find out | 02:03 |
| Malsasa | sacarlson: okay | 02:03 |
| Malsasa | I just want to create a simple app but has a simple interface like nano. | 02:03 |
| sacarlson | Malsasa: cool, don't give up. I'm sure you can do it | 02:04 |
| Malsasa | sacarlson: thank you. Your answer was so kind... | 02:04 |
| haylo | Malsasa, i would think that is coded in C | 02:05 |
| yan | ni hao | 02:05 |
| haylo | im all about writing light wieght and unix friendly C apps. its awesome Malsasa | 02:06 |
| yan | zhelimianyouenma | 02:06 |
| sacarlson | Malsasa I think haylo: is correct, you might just look at the nano code and just modify that to your needs | 02:07 |
| Malsasa | haylo: thank you.... can you give me a simple code for accepting Ctrl+O as save command, in example? | 02:07 |
| Malsasa | sacarlson: wah, thank you... | 02:07 |
| haylo | yeah id try to modify nano for that | 02:07 |
| switch10_ | what was gnome-open replaced with? | 02:07 |
| haylo | there ar egreat you tube tutorials on coding in C Malsasa | 02:07 |
| sacarlson | haylo: but I think Malsasa is in the learning mode and you have to have a project to learn something. you can't just read others code to learn some things | 02:08 |
| tjayh913 | hmm, fixed broken ownership on home/newusername but I still can't log into newusername | 02:08 |

| tjayh913 | sacarlson, no, I can even login through tty, just when I try to log in through GUI it takes me to a black screen for a moment before returning to the login screen again | 02:11 |
| sacarlson | tjayh913: look in the /var/log/systlog file to find out why | 02:12 |
| sacarlson | syslog | 02:12 |
| guest2 | A semester of Chinese with probably one of the best foreign language teachers I've ever had, and I can't read any of that haha | 02:12 |
| sacarlson | tjayh913: like maybe the user no longer had permisions in his own home directory? | 02:13 |
| phunyguy | tjayh913: Sounds like corrupt profile (not sure if that was said before). /var/log/syslog should help, but it will probably boil down to a messed up .config or .gconf | 02:13 |
| junkyeard | where am i?? | 02:14 |
| phunyguy | in hell. | 02:14 |
| sacarlson | phunyguy if in tjayh913 case he can't even tty or ssh in then I'm not sure it's .gconf but like you said syslog should make it clear | 02:15 |
| Malsasa | haylo and sacarlson: how to do search with terminal when i wanna find a string "Ctrl+" in a folder containing many .c files? | 02:15 |
| phunyguy | sacarlson: he said he CAN, not CANT | 02:15 |
| tjayh913 | sacarlson, no I can tty, I have a window logged into it now | 02:15 |
| phunyguy | and normally with bad permissions, it tells you it cant get to /home/$user | 02:16 |
| phunyguy | in this case, something crashes and it logs out | 02:16 |
| traci | ubuntu | 02:16 |
| yan | how to get it | 02:16 |
| phunyguy | tjayh913: rename your .config and .gconf2 | 02:17 |
| phunyguy | and try to login | 02:17 |
| yan | why i can,t get it | 02:17 |
| escott | Malsasa, grep | 02:17 |
| Malsasa | escott: can you give me an example? | 02:18 |
| traci | i had a background image switcher installed but reinstalled ubuntu and now i cannot remember what the name was... i installed it from synaptec or ubuntu software center... unfortunately it has been a long day... anyhow... can someone recommend a background switcher that will switch images from a specified folder? | 02:18 |
| escott | Malsasa, grep pattern filename | 02:18 |
| sacarlson | phunyguy: oh CAN ya then you were probly correct | 02:18 |
| trism | Malsasa: if you are looking at the nano code, you'll probably be interested in terminal_init and do_input in nano.c (not really on topic to the channel though) | 02:18 |
| Malsasa | escott: okay okay. Where can i get tutorial for grep? | 02:18 |
| traci | found it | 02:19 |
| traci | thanks | 02:19 |

| nerdistmonk | what happens when you set the sample rate in pulseaudio higher than what the sound is designed to do? | 02:20 |
| phunyguy | tjayh913: best way to go about that I think, rename the /home/$user folder and relogin. cant remember if that failed or not | 02:20 |
| phunyguy | then copy your stuff it it works | 02:20 |
| phunyguy | if it* | 02:20 |
| Malsasa | escott: thanks, but can you give me a link to a very subjective tutorial? :) | 02:20 |

| iliri | ? | 02:22 |
| airlynx | phunyguy: I was afraid of that | 02:22 |
| mouse | phunyguy The package I'm trying to install is coming from the humble bundle. | 02:22 |
| HelloWorld123 | I'm having trouble with my nVidia drivers since the upgrade to Pangolin. Should I use this to remove the old drivers: sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates ? How does ppa-purge work? | 02:24 |
| phunyguy | mouse what is the humble bundle? | 02:24 |
| tjayh913 | so what were these two files that I am supposed to try renaming, IRC crashed on me | 02:24 |
| iliri | help i there | 02:24 |
| phunyguy | and i feel that issue may reside with that | 02:24 |
| phunyguy | if it is 3rd party | 02:24 |
| iliri | is acound | 02:24 |
| xangua | !ppa-purge | HelloWorld123 | 02:24 |
| ubottu | HelloWorld123: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 02:24 |
| iliri | is shells | 02:24 |
| HelloWorld123 | tx xangua | 02:24 |
| HelloWorld123 | Xangua, so it looks like that's right: sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates | 02:25 |
| phunyguy | tjayh913: .config and .gconf2 - they are folders | 02:25 |
| phunyguy | or you can just do your whole home folder | 02:25 |
| phunyguy | /home/$user | 02:25 |
| phunyguy | i am tempted to test it myself | 02:25 |
| HelloWorld123 | Xangua: looks like no. It said Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: ubuntu-x-swat x-updates ... or maybe I've already gotten it purged. | 02:25 |
| HelloWorld123 | I've been round and round on this | 02:25 |
| phunyguy | but you have to do the whole folder from root account | 02:26 |
| phunyguy | so "sudo passwd root", change the password | 02:26 |
| phunyguy | then login as root at the shell | 02:26 |
| xangua | HelloWorld123: if by purged you mean removed the ppa line, that will not remove the packages that installed | 02:26 |
| tjayh913 | so try renaming the home folder to my username again? | 02:26 |
| Phiscribe | ppa's are evil | 02:26 |
| mouse | phunyguy www.humblebundle.com It's a really neat setup and a good way to try indie games on linux. It's not really a repo though. | 02:26 |
| phunyguy | tjayh913: no just make it different than what it is | 02:27 |
| HelloWorld123 | oic. Tx Xangua. | 02:27 |
| HelloWorld123 | I'm following http://www.hecticgeek.com/2011/10/how-to-install-latest-proprietary-nvidia-drivers-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/ | 02:27 |
| phunyguy | then copy your stuff to the newly created profile. once you are satisfied, delete the old one | 02:27 |
| HelloWorld123 | How do I remove the installed package, then? | 02:28 |
| phunyguy | if your profile is /home/tjayh913, then make it /home/tjayh913_ | 02:28 |
| phunyguy | etc. | 02:28 |
| xangua | HelloWorld123: add the ppa line again and run ppa-purge | 02:28 |
| phunyguy | sacarlson: does it make your apt-get perform differently? | 02:29 |
| phunyguy | sorry meant that for mouse maybe? | 02:29 |
| sacarlson | tjayh913 ya as phunyguy says I've had similar instance and that has worked for me | 02:29 |
| HelloWorld123 | use this to add the ppa line again? sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates | 02:29 |

| blackshirt | Donvito2, it's depend your need | 02:47 |
| donvito2 | im planing to make poker machine slots | 02:47 |

| smw | Darkenvy, you know amazon gives out free servers, right? :-P | 02:50 |
| awpti | He's trying to run a minecraft server. | 02:50 |
| awpti | Their free offering won't work, IIRC. | 02:50 |
| |Trend| | q: is SSD trim enabled by default in ubuntu desktop ? | 02:50 |
| smw | awpti, micros can't handle minecraft? | 02:50 |
| HelloWorld123 | The Intel driver documentation says that most linux distro's come with an Intel driver, and that I should use the driver included with my distro. How do I do that? | 02:50 |
| smw | awpti, that would not overly surprise me... | 02:51 |
| Darkenvy | smw, cant host my game on amazon :P | 02:51 |
| OerHeks | no Trend, add discard to the grub startupline | 02:51 |
| awpti | smw, sadly, no. | 02:51 |
| awpti | Not enough memory, for one.. and the cpu is attrocious. | 02:51 |
| sacarlson | HelloWorld123: in most cases it's done automagicaly | 02:51 |
| awpti | MC is a giant, retarded pig on both fronts. | 02:51 |
| smw | awpti, lol, I underestimated minecraft's bloat | 02:52 |
| awpti | smw, you can run it inside 512M, but you won't get more than 2-3 people on.. and that's with no plugins or extended features. | 02:52 |
| HelloWorld123 | I totally wish. It was done automagically when I originally installed Natty. The upgrade to Ocelot broke it. I did a fresh install and Ocelot turned out okay. The upgrade to Pangolin broke it again. I'm hoping to fix the driver instead of doing a fresh install. | 02:52 |
| Darkenvy | omg, I swear, there was NOT a 10.04 option on the purchase screen. it was 9.04 was the latest option. 10.04 is still supported? | 02:53 |
| Darkenvy | oh wait there is 11.04 | 02:53 |
| HelloWorld123 | I should be totally qualified to do this, since I'm a java developer at a Mac shop. And if I can, then I won't have to do a full install or restore my backups. How hard could it be? | 02:54 |
| Darkenvy | (it was not my stupidity I swear lol) thnks guys | 02:54 |
| yeats | Darkenvy: I would go with 10.04 - supported through 2015 | 02:54 |
| HelloWorld123 | If I had done a fresh install, I would have been done already. | 02:55 |
| HelloWorld123 | I just really think its better to educate myself. | 02:56 |
| xangua | yeats: Darkenvy only the server, the desktop untill april 2013 | 02:56 |
| Darkenvy | crap, already went with 11.04, however I only choose to be with them for a year or so | 02:56 |
| Zephyrusuo | hey yeats when does the next lts come out | 02:56 |
| yeats | !lts | 02:57 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 02:57 |
| dyingloop | Hello i recently purchased an usb wifi adapter for my laptop. I received a CD with linux drivers for the adapter it's a zipped file. I have no idea how to install the drivers. | 02:57 |
| Darkenvy | lts for 11.04 server? | 02:57 |
| Zephyrusuo | that didnt help sorry | 02:57 |
| Darkenvy | *support duration? | 02:57 |
| Zephyrusuo | how long is 10.04 supported on desktop? | 02:57 |
| yeats | Zephyrusuo: 14.04 | 02:57 |
| Zephyrusuo | thank you | 02:57 |
| Darkenvy | (whats with the .04 thing anyways?) | 02:57 |
| Darkenvy | !.04 | 02:58 |
| Zephyrusuo | ok sound great | 02:58 |
| Zephyrusuo | fourth mounth of year | 02:58 |
| yeats | Zephyrusuo: please note that the Ubuntu website has plenty of information like that ;-) | 02:58 |
| Phiscribe | whats wrong with 12.04 again Darkenvy? | 02:58 |
| Darkenvy | !!! ooooh | 02:58 |
| Zephyrusuo | yah but im lazy | 02:58 |
| Darkenvy | lol ooops triggered the bot | 02:58 |
| Zephyrusuo | and you helped that guy | 02:58 |
| Zephyrusuo | so.. | 02:58 |
| Zephyrusuo | well you just sold me to go with 10.04 as graphics drivers in 12.04 dont work with card | 02:59 |
| yeats | Zephyrusuo: that doesn't encourage me, I'm afraid | 02:59 |
| Phiscribe | checking the restricted drivers, via ubunut, sometimes can get a wireless card to work | 02:59 |
| Phiscribe | first thing to try | 02:59 |
| Phiscribe | or even a wired nic | 02:59 |
| HelloWorld123 | I'm able to get the desktop by using ctrl-alt-f1, and running startx from the command line. Does this look like the line I need? sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel | 03:00 |
| HelloWorld123 | from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 | 03:01 |
| sacarlson | dyingloop: did you plug it in? it might already work | 03:01 |
| dyingloop | It's plugged in | 03:01 |
| GoodOldJacob | ciigsima | 03:02 |
| sacarlson | dyingloop: ok does it work? | 03:02 |
| dyingloop | Nope | 03:02 |
| GoodOldJacob | Whoops sorry, wrong channel =P | 03:02 |
| dyingloop | I don't see any SSIDs | 03:02 |
| sacarlson | dyingloop: why not? can the device be seen? lsusb; | 03:02 |
| xxx | hello room | 03:02 |
| dyingloop | oh wait | 03:02 |
| === xxx is now known as Guest67144 | ||
| dyingloop | I'll be really pissed | 03:03 |
| HelloWorld123 | Is "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" going to log me out of this chat? | 03:03 |
| dyingloop | it's working | 03:03 |
| sacarlson | dyingloop: ya it helps to try it | 03:03 |
| dyingloop | Boy this is pretty weird | 03:03 |
| Darkenvy | "PTY allocation request failed on channel 0" | 03:03 |
| dyingloop | my built-in wireless card had hit or miss drivers by realtek | 03:03 |
| dyingloop | and it wouldn't work for the life of me | 03:04 |
| dyingloop | so i ordered a separate usb adapter! | 03:04 |
| dyingloop | now | 03:04 |
| dyingloop | after plugging it in | 03:04 |
| dyingloop | both work! | 03:04 |
| HelloWorld123 | sudo: /etc/init.d/gdm: command not found | 03:04 |
| jagginess | gnome-tweak-tool doesnt seem to change my default multimediaplayer.. which package or command changes this , anyone? | 03:04 |
| dyingloop | goodness it's magic scarlson | 03:04 |
| HelloWorld123 | I didn't expect that | 03:04 |
| jagginess | HelloWorld123, no, it's lightdm (from 11.10+) | 03:05 |
| sacarlson | HelloWorld123: I guess the new version changed the name? | 03:05 |
| dyingloop | no wait..it was a glitch | 03:05 |
| dyingloop | just the new one works | 03:06 |
| dyingloop | :( | 03:06 |
| HelloWorld123 | actually, I think I started the desktop with startx ... is that completely different than gdm? | 03:06 |
| sacarlson | dyingloop: no need for two they will just conflict, disable the old one in bios | 03:06 |
| HelloWorld123 | These google sites are often a release or two behind | 03:06 |
| jagginess | HelloWorld123, what version ubuntu is it | 03:06 |
| dyingloop | yeah i thought both were workig, but it's only one | 03:06 |
| dyingloop | apparently once i plug in my usb adapter | 03:07 |
| HelloWorld123 | I've upgraded to Pangolin from Ocelot, and the upgrade trashed my video driver | 03:07 |
| dyingloop | both the adapters work | 03:07 |
| dyingloop | strange | 03:07 |
| jagginess | dyingloop, yah, we we heard you.. so what.. | 03:07 |
| dyingloop | sorry just excited | 03:07 |
| HelloWorld123 | There, I see it jagginess: lightdm ... I'm running in 640x480 so I don't alwatys see everything | 03:07 |
| jagginess | and my computer turns on. | 03:07 |
| dyingloop | heh indeed | 03:08 |
| dyingloop | thanks! | 03:08 |
| jagginess | HelloWorld123, you definitely have e-did (wikipedia e-did), failing.. sounds like a driver issue (or a poor cable can cause this) | 03:08 |
| jagginess | ,/var/log/Xorg.0.log would say if e-did failed | 03:09 |
| jagginess | ok now.. if only if i can get .avi to play on this.. | 03:09 |
| jgalt | I just experienced a kernel panic. machine dropped to text mode and appears to have locked up. any way I can save off anything for later analysis of a crash dump? | 03:11 |
| jagginess | (actually .avi works :) | 03:11 |
| jagginess | lol | 03:11 |
| BarkingFish | Morning guys :) Quick question for you: I don't want pulseaudio downloaded on here, and everytime I update my system, it gets put back on. Is there any way to manually block pulseaudio from being downloaded during updates? | 03:11 |
| jagginess | dam i'm good | 03:11 |
| gry | BarkingFish: What distribution? | 03:12 |
| BarkingFish | gry - Kubuntu 12.04 | 03:12 |
| BarkingFish | I am only asking here cause #kubuntu is utterly dead this time of night :) | 03:12 |
| BarkingFish | i'd be pretty sure if it works on here, it will work on Kubuntu too :) | 03:12 |
| DocPlatypus | I've done my research on this and pretty much just want to confirm what I've found. have any viruses, worms, etc of any significant scale ever been found "in the wild" that attack Ubuntu or any other GNU/Linux system? | 03:13 |
| BarkingFish | The only reason I don't want pulseaudio on here is that it messes my mixer up in KDE, so that I don't have control over everything, and it messes my sound up entirely. | 03:13 |
| BarkingFish | I need to see every available channel in my mixer, for remixing audio, controlling mic and capture, etc | 03:14 |
| DocPlatypus | KDE is still aRts based isn't it? | 03:14 |
| HelloWorld123 | jagginess: thanks for that. I did not know that logfile was there. It seems that I'm done messing with this tonight. What do the numbers in that logfile mean? I have stuff at 119 talking about nVidia failing, and then stuff at 120 talking about Intel loading okay, and I have Intel. What does the 119 & 120 indicate? | 03:14 |
| BarkingFish | no, we don't use arts or artsd - but by knocking out pulseaudio, I can go alsa only | 03:15 |
| jagginess | BarkingFish, there's plugins for pulseaudio, (there's alsa plugin for pulseaudio, it may already be there but not enabled) | 03:15 |
| jongbergs | Hi, I was experimenting with ubuntu packages thru commandline. What command allows you to query the Description of a specific package? | 03:15 |
| BarkingFish | jagginess: the plugins are no help, which is why I simply take pulseaudio off, rather than fiddle with things which don't actually help :) | 03:15 |
| BarkingFish | it would be 100* easier if i could simply stop it coming on in the first place | 03:16 |
| ihashacks | jongbergs: apt-cache show packagename | 03:16 |
| jagginess | BarkingFish, maybe you should check if you're using a ~/.asoundrc file.. or if you have 2 soundcards, simply blacklist the one you don't use.. | 03:16 |
| BarkingFish | jagginess: I have one sound card, and I don't have a .asoundrc file either. | 03:17 |
| jongbergs | ihashacks: But I only want the Description..nothing else.. | 03:17 |
| xangua | BarkingFish: do you have the kubuntu-metapackage installed¿ if you uninstall pulse i guess the metapackage is the one that installs it again | 03:17 |
| trism | jongbergs: dpkg-query -Wf '${Description}\n' package_name; | 03:17 |
| BarkingFish | You're leading me round the houses, to doors I've already knocked on, jagginess :) | 03:17 |
| Valiant54616 | Can NortonGhost (or similar) clone harddrives with ubuntu? | 03:18 |
| BarkingFish | and xangua - no I don't have that package installed | 03:18 |
| jongbergs | trism: great, i'll try that out.. | 03:18 |
| jagginess | BarkingFish, you dont know how to configure it.. you should get help on it.. | 03:18 |
| xangua | kubuntu-destkop* metapackage i mean BarkingFish | 03:18 |
| BarkingFish | and no, I don't have that either. | 03:18 |
| BarkingFish | I don't dl metapackages at all, I simply dl individual stuff | 03:18 |
| BarkingFish | I've been able to block specific packages before, back in Kubuntu 11.04, I just need to know how to do it again - I did it with Firefox to stop it upgrading. | 03:19 |
| Darkenvy | I would be glad to announce I am now running ubuntu server 10.04. How can I now install mysql? | 03:20 |
| jongbergs | trism: so "Description" is one of the formats | 03:21 |
| Darkenvy | "apt-get install mysql mysql-server" returns packages not found | 03:21 |
| Madpilot | ubottu, lamp | Darkenvy | 03:21 |
| ubottu | Darkenvy: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 03:21 |
| Darkenvy | thanks | 03:22 |
| Madpilot | Darkenvy, np, I haven't set up a server in several versions of Ubuntu but that page should still be pretty comprehensive | 03:22 |
| trism | jongbergs: it's one of the fields you can display in the format string | 03:23 |
| BarkingFish | so - without the "you don't know how to configure it" stuff, and the like - can anyone simply answer my question please? How do I block a package from downloading during updates? | 03:23 |
| BarkingFish | I'm not angry or anything, simply tired - it's 4.25am, and I want to resolve this if possible, before I go to bed :) | 03:23 |
| jgalt | BarkingFish : I know your pain, I've been there. let me do some looking and see if I might find some help. it's only 8:25pm here | 03:25 |
| jongbergs | trism: the command gets the entire subscription. But how about getting its simple description like when you do: dpkg -l grub-common | 03:26 |
| jongbergs | trism: GRand Unified Bootloader (common files) | 03:26 |
| jrib | BarkingFish: you want to prevent updates to a certain package you already have installed? | 03:27 |
| BarkingFish | jgalt: thank you. I've been on linux long enough to know when regardless of configuring something, it's about as useful as a chocolate sunhat :) | 03:27 |
| BarkingFish | jrib: no, I want to prevent the package from downloading during updates to my system once I've removed it | 03:27 |
| genii-around | !pinning | 03:27 |
| ubottu | pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 03:27 |
| jrib | BarkingFish: how did you remove it? | 03:27 |
| BarkingFish | took off the .pulse-cookie and the other .pulse stuff from my home folder, killall pulseaudio, apt-get remove pulseadio | 03:28 |
| jgalt | yes pinning is what I was thinking of thank you | 03:28 |
| jrib | BarkingFish: that should be sufficient | 03:28 |
| jongbergs | trism: I'm thinking of doing the same command and just grep the first line. It would be better if there is cleaner way to do this.. | 03:28 |
| BarkingFish | jrib: it's not though. Whenever I update kde, pulseaudio comes back | 03:28 |
| jrib | BarkingFish: pastebin what you are running exactly and full output | 03:29 |
| BarkingFish | i don't know if I can, I'm cli only at the moment | 03:29 |
| jrib | !pastebin | BarkingFish | 03:29 |
| ubottu | BarkingFish: 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. | 03:29 |
| BarkingFish | what do you want to see? just the commands I'm running and the output I get from them, jrib? | 03:30 |
| jrib | BarkingFish: yes | 03:30 |
| BarkingFish | ok, one moment | 03:30 |
| ihashacks | jongbergs: apt-cache show grub | grep -m1 ^Description | 03:30 |
| Shdwdrgn | I'm back tonight trying to resolve an IPv6 issue. Upgraded from natty to oneiric last night, server can now only communicate through ipv6 to other servers in the same /64. Server receives all IPv6 packets though. Info from a working server (also running oneiric) in the same zone: http://pastebin.com/iyp7HBF9 Info from the server I am having troubles with: http://pastebin.com/3QrrFd02 | 03:30 |
| trism | jongbergs: the short description is just the first line of the Description field in the control file, so I don't know that there is a better way | 03:31 |
| BarkingFish | I can't do that right now, for some reason gpm won't copy the buffer for me | 03:33 |
| BarkingFish | I will try and get that done in the morning :) | 03:33 |
| jrib | BarkingFish: you can just redirect the output to pastebinit | 03:33 |
| jongbergs | ihashacks: This works, however you still need to operate the result to get the actual "Description" | 03:34 |
| BarkingFish | can I? I didn't know that :P | 03:34 |
| BarkingFish | myxzptlk! Now I have to go remove it all over again :) | 03:34 |
| chargersfan420 | installed fglrx-updates, now can't get past login screen. it tries to change my resolution, fails, and returns to the login screen. can anyone help? | 03:35 |
| jongbergs | trism: I think this one is working: dpkg-query -Wf '${Description}\n' grub-common | head -n1 | 03:36 |
| trism | jongbergs: yep, that's how I would do it | 03:36 |
| Dr_Willis | 'The Bash Fu is Strongwith this one...' | 03:36 |
| jongbergs | trism, ihashacks thanks guys, it really helped.. | 03:37 |
| BarkingFish | jrib: How do I do that please? I tried running all the commands on the same line and adding > pastebinit on the end, and it created a text file called pastebinit :P | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | BarkingFish: use | | 03:37 |
| BarkingFish | i did | 03:37 |
| jrib | BarkingFish: you can now run the pastebinit command on that file | 03:37 |
| lek_ | dpkg-query -Wf '${Description}\n' grub-common | head -n1dpkg-query -Wf '${Description}\n' grub-common | head -n1 | 03:37 |
| BarkingFish | it didn't complete though, it aborted the removal | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | echo 'foo' | pastebinit | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | the arror bracket ppipes to a file. the | goes to a command that takes the input | 03:38 |
| BarkingFish | I ran: rm -rf /home/thor/.pulse* | killall pulseaudio | apt-get remove pulseaudio > pastebinit | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | you piped the output to a file.. not a command | 03:39 |
| BarkingFish | :( | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | bigcommand string | pastebinit | 03:39 |
| BarkingFish | ok | 03:39 |
| BarkingFish | and how do I get apt-get remove to not need me to confirm it? | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | and im not sur why you aree using the | in the othjer places | 03:40 |
| jrib | BarkingFish: what I care about is exactly what you are typing and what the full output is when pulseaudio is trying to install again | 03:40 |
| Dr_Willis | that command line seems weird to me | 03:40 |
| jrib | BarkingFish: presumably you don't currently have pulseaudio installed | 03:40 |
| BarkingFish | Dr_Willis: I was breaking it up into individual commands, like I would running them on separate lines | 03:40 |
| BarkingFish | jrib: I do at the moment, I need it there to remove it and show you what it's doing :) | 03:40 |
| Dr_Willis | dont use | for that. ;) heh.. | 03:41 |
| wylde_ | BarkingFish: then you'd use ; <--- a semicolon | 03:41 |
| BarkingFish | aha | 03:41 |
| BarkingFish | right - one moment please :) | 03:41 |
| Dr_Willis | you can even run a bash command line that. cd foo ; ls file ; cat bar | 03:41 |
| BarkingFish | i'm just sitting for a url to come back now | 03:43 |
| clifear | when I try to sudo start module-init-tools I get module-init-tools stop/waiting | 03:44 |
| clifear | any fix? | 03:44 |
| clifear | I've searched but nothing has worked thus far | 03:44 |
| Dr_Willis | clifear: isent it sudo service whatever start | 03:44 |
| * clifear tried that too, same error | 03:44 | |
| Dr_Willis | no idea whaggt module-init-tools even is.. | 03:45 |
| Dr_Willis | why are you even needing to do thi? | 03:45 |
| clifear | its for lm-sensors / modprobe | 03:45 |
| wylde_ | check the syslog and dmesg for clues? | 03:45 |
| BarkingFish | pastebinned - didn't copy the rm -rf command, or the killall pulseaudio, but did show you the removal | 03:45 |
| BarkingFish | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1029788 | 03:45 |
| jrib | BarkingFish: it's my bed time now. Anyway, if there isn't anything immediately obvious in your pastebin as to why pulseaudio wants to be reinstalled without you explicitly requesting it, my next guess would be that you have a package that "recommends" pulseaudio. So find it and determine if you really want it (aptitude's search capabilities would make this easy). | 03:45 |
| BarkingFish | mine too, it's 4.45 am here | 03:46 |
| === meatwad is now known as Guest39888 | ||
| BarkingFish | I will pin it, so I can stop it from doing anything in the future | 03:46 |
| BarkingFish | Screw what the system recommends, if anything recommends it, I'll remove that too :) | 03:46 |
| BarkingFish | :P | 03:46 |
| trism | clifear: module-init-tools is just a script, it just modprobes the modules in /etc/modules then exits, so that's the status you get | 03:47 |
| MooreJohn | Hi guy, I want to know the way of removing apache2 that was installed from source code, I mean, I dont used apt-get install, compiled and installed in /usr/local/ | 03:47 |
| BarkingFish | anyhow, good night/morning now (it's daylight) - I'm off. | 03:47 |
| === Guest39888 is now known as Mr_MeatWad | ||
| Dr_Willis | MooreJohn: 'sudo make uninstall' fromthe source dir.. is common | 03:48 |
| clifear | thanks trism that makes sense, but now when I run sensors I don't get the proper output | 03:48 |
| BarkingFish | thanks for the help jrib, wylde_, Dr_Willis and jgalt :) | 03:48 |
| BarkingFish | see ya | 03:48 |
| MooreJohn | Hi Dr_Willis, I am new to linux ubutu, what you mean "from the source dir" | 03:49 |
| wylde_ | clifear: did you 'sudo sensors-detect'? | 03:49 |
| Dr_Willis | MooreJohn: where you compiled it at.. same dir you did the make and other colmmands in | 03:49 |
| clifear | wylde_yes, I answered yes to all the correct questions and double-checked | 03:49 |
| Dr_Willis | should we be asking why you decided to compile apache from source? | 03:50 |
| clifear | the output file that it writes as well | 03:50 |
| MooreJohn | I uncompress the source code in "Desktop" and I made "./configure", "make" and "make install" | 03:50 |
| wylde_ | clifear: odd... I've not ever had any issues with any of those. | 03:50 |
| Dr_Willis | MooreJohn: right.. and theres a ' make uninstall ' that code commonly uses to remove stuff | 03:51 |
| Madpilot | MooreJohn, you do know Apache is available in Ubuntu repos, right? | 03:51 |
| minniepayne | hi. on my computer, i have Win7 and a linux distro installed. i'm planning on installing another linux os. How do i tell the installer to reuse the exisiting swap partition? | 03:51 |
| MooreJohn | ok I will try | 03:51 |
| Dr_Willis | if you just did a make install, then you dident run it as root. so it shouldent be in /opt/ ;) | 03:52 |
| Dr_Willis | minniepayne: normally in the partition setup tool you just point swap to the swap partition. | 03:52 |
| clifear | any other ideas? | 03:53 |
| minniepayne | ok. great, Dr_Willis thanks | 03:53 |
| Dr_Willis | minniepayne: if you share swap. you dont want to be using he hibernate/suspend functions. | 03:53 |
| roasted | friends hello@ | 03:53 |

| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: want do you mean "you don'twant to be using hibernate / suspend functions"? why not? | 03:53 |
| MooreJohn | Hi Dr_Willis, I got "No rule to make target uninstall. stop" | 03:53 |
| Dr_Willis | minniepayne: you suspend os#1 it saves stuff to swap.. os #2 then boots.. and uses the swap... | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | swap IS used to hibernate/suspend | 03:54 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: but isn't swap wiped clean (like RAM) after powering off? | 03:54 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: after computer powers off? | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | MooreJohn: then they did not include the method to remove it. | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | minniepayne: One of those Hibernate/sispends saves ram to swap then powers off.. then uses swap to restore the memory. | 03:55 |
| Dr_Willis | I never can rember which one does it. ;) | 03:55 |
| ihashacks | swap isn't used for suspend but IS for hibernate | 03:55 |
| wildint | anyone know which channel the release teams hang out in, using wget on a server 64 bit link is getting me an i386 iso | 03:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Seems they change the terms in the differnet OS's ever so often. | 03:55 |
| ihashacks | I don't even have a swap partition on my laptop and suspend just fine. Hibernate is NOT possible however. | 03:55 |
| Dr_Willis | used to be 'suspend to ram' or 'suspend to disk' | 03:55 |
| Dr_Willis | i dontuse either. too many issues | 03:56 |
| minniepayne | ok, so does Ubuntu use "hibernate" feature? | 03:56 |
| MooreJohn | hi Madpilot yep I know, but I follow the way of showing in the book of sitepoint | 03:56 |
| Dr_Willis | minniepayne: if your swap is big enough | 03:56 |
| evildaemon | When I download and unpack archives, they're executables won't execute. I've set the sticky bit. My system acts as though the files don't exist. | 03:56 |
| Dr_Willis | evildaemon: sticky bit? What filesystem are the binaries on? You just need to make them executable | 03:57 |
| ihashacks | minniepayne: "hibernate" is disabled by default in Ubuntu 12.04 http://askubuntu.com/questions/94754/how-to-enable-hibernation-in-12-04 | 03:57 |
| Madpilot | ubottu, lamp | MooreJohn better and Ubuntu-specific method for getting Apache and such running: | 03:57 |
| ubottu | MooreJohn better and Ubuntu-specific method for getting Apache and such running:: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 03:57 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: ihashacks. ok. Let's say i have 2 linux OSes sharing same swap partition. If I boot into LinuxDistro1 and turn on hibernate, when will swap be made free for use for other OS? | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | minniepayne: swap will getoverwritten so that other os will fail to restore its hibernated state | 03:58 |
| evildaemon | Dr_Willis: The bit that you set on a *nix filesystem to allow executables to run. They're on my hard disk. | 03:58 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: ihashacks i mean "free for _LinuxDistro2_" | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | evildaemon: stick bit is not the same as the executable bit | 03:58 |
| evildaemon | Dr_Willis: Oh, well. Still, the executable bit is set. | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | evildaemon: are they on a NTFS/Vfat: or a ext2/3/4 filesystem | 03:59 |
| evildaemon | Dr_Willis: Ext4, I think. | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | evildaemon: and tghe exact command you are using to launch them is? | 03:59 |
| ihashacks | minniepayne: you will have issues. Some distros check during boot to see if resume data is found in the swap, if it is, it tries to use it. So if your Distro1 hibernates to RAM, then you boot Distro2, it will see the hibernate data and try to boot it up with it. | 03:59 |
| evildaemon | ./ | 03:59 |
| chargersfan420 | installed fglrx-updates and i am now in hell. how do i go back? | 04:00 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: but i still don't get it. if i hibernate while using LinuxDistro1, the next time I press the power button, I "wake up" from hibernation from Distro1. So I wouldn't even have to face the problem of booting into Distro2 with a swap that is in hibernation. | 04:00 |
| evildaemon | Dr_Willis: I'm just running them as binaries. | 04:00 |
| evildaemon | Dr_Willis: But the filesystem acts like they don't exist. | 04:00 |
| wildint | minniepayne, that may work, I have never tried | 04:00 |
| evildaemon | Dr_Willis: Not that they don't have permission, but that they don't exist. | 04:00 |
| Dr_Willis | minniepayne: if the 2 distros try to sahre the same hibernated data.. it will be problematic | 04:00 |
| wylde_ | minniepayne: unless you fail to recover from a hibernate and have to hard boot ;) | 04:00 |
| Dr_Willis | evildaemon: You are getting the case RiGht? | 04:01 |
| Dr_Willis | evildaemon: using tab to complete file names/ | 04:01 |
| evildaemon | Dr_Willis: Using tab completion. | 04:01 |
| Dr_Willis | check outout of 'file thefileyouwanttorun' | 04:01 |
| minniepayne | wildint: Dr_Willis ihashacks. Isn't wylde_ correct in saying that the only time my computer will have to erase "hibernated swap" is if i have to hard boot? | 04:02 |
| wildint | minniepayne, theoretically yes - care to experiment in practice and let us know | 04:02 |
| Dr_Willis | minniepayne: short answer.. share ing swap = DONT use hibernate in either OS. unless you are just rarely using one of them. :) | 04:02 |
| evildaemon | Dr_Willis: It's an LSB executable. | 04:03 |
| minniepayne | rarely using one of what? | 04:03 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: ^ | 04:03 |
| Dr_Willis | hibernate os1, boot os2 - you just messed up hibernate file for os1 | 04:03 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont se emuch point in having 2 linuxs installed.. what 2 are you using? | 04:03 |
| evildaemon | Dr_Willis: Nevermind, magically fixed itself. | 04:03 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: but how can you boot into OS2 after you've just hibernated from OS1? Doesn't hibernate mean that the only next action is to wake up from hibernation? | 04:03 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: backtrack and linux | 04:04 |
| evildaemon | Dr_Willis: Thank you. | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis | minniepayne: No.. the kenrel boots and sees/restiores the hibernated file | 04:04 |
| minniepayne | oops. Dr_Willis i meant backtrack and ubuntu | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis | grub -: kernel -: restores | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis | dont see much need for backtrack. :) dont really see why you would need to hibernate backtrack either. | 04:05 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: i'm still not understanding. if you were to hibernate your Ubuntu OS now.... what are the next options you will have when you press the hardware "power" button? | 04:05 |
| Dr_Willis | minniepayne: you still get the grub menu.. you select ubuntu.. it sees the hibernated file and restores it' | 04:05 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: i won't need to hibernate backtrack. but i may need to hibernate ubuntu. then again, i rarely use hibernate | 04:05 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: ok ok. i understand now. | 04:05 |

| ubottu | Package advene does not exist in precise | 04:07 |
| genii-around | Hm | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | minniepayne: i dont see the point in installing it then. You could set a grub item up to boot the backtrack ISO file if you needed | 04:08 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: boot ISO file? ISO file on hard drive? | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | minniepayne: yes.. | 04:08 |
| minniepayne | what's the benefits to booting from ISO file? | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | i keep iso files in my /boot/ partition for emergancy and otehr special cases | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | i can boot my ubuntu iso and do a clean install or othe rtasks. with no cd needed | 04:09 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: ok. but what is the advantages to booting from ISO file over installing on Disk? Is it for saving hard drive space? | 04:09 |
| === shanky_ty_ is now known as shanky_ty | ||
| Dr_Willis | i can set up other special disrtos/isos and test them | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis | If you need a live cd setup.. booting iso works just as well. | 04:10 |

| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: i also don't need to use a CD. I used unetbootin to create bootable/installable backtrack on USB | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont even need a usb. :) | 04:10 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: but why use a livecd setup? | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | dont even need to use unetbootin | 04:10 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: but isn't booting from iso slower than booting from hard drive? | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | minniepayne: the iso is just as fast getting read from the hd. | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | it is a live cd however. | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | with the same benifitss/limitations | 04:11 |
| minniepayne | so why do Linux distros make the default way of using themselves a "harddrive install" and not "boot from ISO"? | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | minniepayne: thats not the default for them all. | 04:11 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: ok. so "boot from ISO" has the same limitations as "live cd". | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | boot live cd/iso - for repairs, or installing, or other special cases | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | some disrtos like puppy, and tinycorelinux , can boot from cd. and save changes to a external drive by default. ;) | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | a 'frugal' setup is the term for those often used | 04:13 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: sorry for not understanding. I just don't get the payoffs for booting from ISO, as opposed to installing the linux distro on hard drive. | 04:13 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: it has limitations, but i don't see the benefits | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | minniepayne: same benifits as you get from booting the cd directly, or a live usb | 04:13 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: hte only benefit i can think of from booting from Live USB in saving hard drive space. | 04:14 |
| Dr_Willis | I can boot my ISO and reinstall ubuntu in perhaps 5 min. | 04:14 |
| Nythillie | Hello! Quick question! If I want to theme the unity bar (12.04) I look for GTK3 themes, right? | 04:14 |
| Dr_Willis | theres a great manu Live disrtos out there for differnt tasks | 04:14 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: another benefit of booting from LiveCD/USB is if you don't want to bother creating another partition. | 04:14 |
| minniepayne | Dr_Willis: but i don't mind creating a 10GB partition for a Linux distro that i'll use rarely. | 04:15 |
| xangua | Nythillie: that depends, some themes support unity, they usually tell it in gnome-look.org at least | 04:15 |
| Nythillie | Gnome-look is still the place go for themes then? | 04:15 |

| sacarlson | rkhshm: yes it has been in one case as I could no longer get the old mem sims to replace them | 04:50 |
| mobilenoob11 | What kind of space is required for swap? | 04:50 |
| Dr_Willis | depends on your needs and your memory | 04:50 |
| Dr_Willis | i normally do 1gb swap. | 04:50 |
| === wilee-nilee is now known as buck-n8kid | ||
| mobilenoob11 | So I need a 1 gig ext4 to do swap then? | 04:51 |
| Dr_Willis | swap is not ext4.. its swap ;) | 04:51 |
| mobilenoob11 | I soo sorry, I did not realise what I was getting into. | 04:51 |
| Dr_Willis | the instlleer can auto partion the unallocated space. | 04:51 |
| Dr_Willis | or you can use gparted to make the swap partition and / partiton beforhand. | 04:52 |
| mobilenoob11 | If I choose install along side, it will do this for me? | 04:52 |
| Dr_Willis | the filesystem used by the swap partition is of the type 'swap' | 04:52 |
| mobilenoob11 | I know how to use g parted | 04:52 |
| Dr_Willis | i always partion my drives with gparted beforhand. i dont trust the auto stuff. :) | 04:53 |
| Darkenvy | how can I install java on ubuntu 10.04 server? | 04:53 |
| === buck-n8kid is now known as wilee-nilee | ||
| Dr_Willis | i also tend to use a hard drive for linux and one for windows.. the trmanolgy of the installer makes it confuseing as how to 'use all of one hard drive' | 04:53 |
| sacarlson | Darkenvy: there are a few options for java I would go for the real oricle one | 04:54 |
| Dr_Willis | !java | Darkenvy | 04:54 |
| ubottu | Darkenvy: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 04:54 |
| mobilenoob11 | Im on laptop. Does it matter if swap or ext4 are at begining or end? | 04:54 |
| Dr_Willis | dont matter much these days mobilenoob11 | 04:55 |
| Darkenvy | ever since sun java6 dissapeared ive been here several times for java | 04:55 |
| roasted | Anybody getting continual messages in Chrome about running flash for "this time only" and whatnot? | 04:55 |
| jarray52 | Darkenvy: sudo aptitude install openjdk-6-jdk | 04:55 |
| Darkenvy | I cannot for the life of me remember how I get it working each time and have tried many many guides | 04:55 |
| Dr_Willis | i just use the open sourced java. | 04:56 |
| Phiscribe | yes i see that often installing java fx seemed to reduce it | 04:56 |
| Darkenvy | installing…: will openjdk be fine for hosting a game called minecraft you think? | 04:57 |
| mobilenoob11 | Thanks guys, I have one more question. Is there any reason the track pad on this acer aspire isn't working on ubuntu?? | 04:57 |
| Darkenvy | Ive always used sun :P | 04:57 |
| sacarlson | Dr_Willis: I note that my grayed out firefox I think is from java as when I turn off java it never gets gray (locked or slow) but it seems that's with several java versions | 04:57 |
| Dr_Willis | see the mindcraft site as to what they suggest | 04:57 |
| jarray52 | Darkenvy: probably not. If it was compiled with sunjdk, it probably won't run with openjdk. | 04:57 |
| Dr_Willis | we get way to many minecraft support questions in here. :) but it seems its been slowing down.. perhps the game is burning out in popularity now | 04:58 |
| Darkenvy | well what happened to sun jaba? | 04:58 |
| Dr_Willis | oravle bought sun, then just a few months back.. messed with the java licenseing.. so now all the linux disrtos had to change things | 04:59 |
| sacarlson | Darkenvy: orical purchased sun, not sure if that made any difference | 04:59 |
| Dr_Willis | the license change was the big stinker. | 04:59 |
| mobilenoob11 | Is there any need tthanks guys! | 05:00 |

| MonkeyDust | loonatic you mean the swap size? | 05:17 |
| loonatic | MonkeyDust yes | 05:17 |
| MonkeyDust | loonatic then you have to resize the partition, i do not advice it | 05:17 |
| * Dr_Willis thinks we are getting terms confused | 05:18 | |
| loonatic | MonkeyDust, when I type "sudo cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness" in the terminal I got "60", but I had previously set this value to 0, how come it changed? | 05:19 |
| loonatic | MonkeyDust when I change it to 0 gedit opens in no time | 05:19 |
| CoJaBo | loonatic: If you want it preserved on reboot, set it in /etc/sysctl.conf | 05:19 |
| loonatic | CoJaBo can you give me the instructions to do it? I'm not an expert user | 05:20 |

| Dr_Willis | fleakite: its included.. with no rules by default.. so its not doing anything by default | 06:16 |
| wylde_ | fleakite: it's there but not enabled. | 06:16 |
| Dr_Willis | fleakite: why do you need the firewall? | 06:16 |
| fleakite | OK. I'm going to install gufw. | 06:16 |
| MonkeyDust | fleakite if you have a running local network, ufw or gufw may disturb it | 06:17 |
| wylde_ | fleakite: if you're behind a router, router/modemyou're already firewalled from the internet. | 06:17 |
| fleakite | So all incoming connections are denied by default even though firewall isn't present? | 06:17 |
| fleakite | I mean, I don't know much about this .. but I thought it was dangerous to run any system without a firewall | 06:18 |
| Dr_Willis | fleakite: thers no services running by default.. so theres nothing to onnect to | 06:18 |
| wylde_ | fleakite: if you have a router between you and the internet yes. | 06:18 |
| Dr_Willis | fleakite: you are thinking of 'windows' | 06:18 |
| MonkeyDust | fleakite look into your router's interface to find out | 06:18 |
| fleakite | I dunno how to do that :\ | 06:18 |
| wylde_ | fleakite: hit up http://grc.com and follow the links to "shieldsup" it'll scan your system and tell you if you have open ports. | 06:18 |
| fleakite | OK. Will try that out now wylde | 06:19 |
| Dr_Willis | if you got a router between your pc and the internet.. you most likely have no need to worry about the firewall in linux at all... | 06:19 |
| wylde_ | unles you have untrustworthy clients on your internal network. | 06:19 |
| fleakite | Sorry, I'm just so used to Windows that the idea of running a system without a firewall is scary | 06:19 |
| Odd-rationale | hrolf: try 'sudo modprobe -r psmouse' to unload the module. And 'sudo modprobe psmouse' to reload it. | 06:19 |
| Dr_Willis | fleakite: i normally turn off my windows firewall :) | 06:20 |
| Dr_Willis | its not stopping people getting in.. my router is allreay dooing that | 06:20 |
| * wylde_ has no windows >.> | 06:20 | |
| fleakite | What if I use Tor browser? Should I have a firewall then? | 06:20 |
| wylde_ | ok well, I have a small windows vm......but shhhhh | 06:20 |
| fleakite | Dr_Willis, Wow. I'm scared to even attempt that | 06:20 |
| Dr_Willis | fleakite: MS has you trained to be scared. | 06:20 |

| Guest75733 | 1st Timer here. I'm trying to bring back to life an old Compaq Presario laptop. The old hard drive had crashed and I have a new blank harddrive I want to install Ubuntu on. Before putting it in the laptop I'm wondering if I may install Ubuntu onto the drive by USB connecting it to my desktop computer and install Ubuntu then place drive in laptop & if it will work | 06:21 |
| Dr_Willis | nothing gets to my pc uinless im port forwarding it with the routers settings. MS can auto set up the port forwarding depending on the router.. so it can turn off its own firewall rules ;) | 06:22 |
| Valiant | fixed, i have to right clik>properties the file so that the Set default button to be visible. Its not visible when doing right click>open with.. | 06:22 |
| fleakite | Cool. GRC Shields Up passed all tests. <Phew!> Thanks you guys cc wylde Dr_Willis MonkeyDust | 06:22 |
| Corey | Guest75733: No CD or USB on the laptop? | 06:22 |
| wylde_ | :) | 06:22 |
| Dr_Willis | fleakite: it should pas reguardless of what os youi are running.. if you got a router | 06:22 |
| Corey | Guest75733: It could work, but it adds complication. | 06:22 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest75733 so you want to move the HHD from one machine to the other? | 06:22 |
| MonkeyDust | HDD* | 06:22 |
| Guest75733 | tried CD but getting Kernel panic error | 06:23 |
| === glebihan__ is now known as glebihan | ||
| Corey | Guest75733: Hmm. That's not likely to go away with different install methods. | 06:23 |
| wylde_ | Dr_Willis: exactly why I sent them there :) For the reassurance that they were covered | 06:23 |
| fleakite | but every internet connection will have a router , right? | 06:23 |
| Dr_Willis | fleakite: a firewall wont stop your windows box from running malwqre/viruses you download.. but it MIgHT keep it from infecting other pcs on your internal lan. 'might' | 06:23 |
| Valiant | I have a p3 laptop, removed its harddrive, inserted it in my desktop, install ubuntu, then plugged it back to the laptop. No problem so far | 06:24 |
| Dr_Willis | fleakite: every internet connection wont.. how aboyut your routers connectoon? ;) | 06:24 |
| fleakite | Ah, that's true. | 06:24 |
| wylde_ | fleakite: most not all. But nowadays 99% of residential broadband modems are modem/routers | 06:24 |
| Dr_Willis | fleakite: put a pc ip in the DMZ on your router and its open to the internet also.. | 06:25 |
| fleakite | So do routers come with inbuilt firewalls? | 06:25 |
| MonkeyDust | fleakite the modem connects to the internet, the router is the 'smart part' that can be configured | 06:25 |
| Dr_Willis | most routers have security features like that. | 06:25 |
| wylde_ | fleakite: NAT (Network Address Translation) is a natural firewall. It's also how routers work :) | 06:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !nat | 06:26 |

| MonkeyDust | fleakite we all had, once :) | 06:26 |
| wylde_ | fleakite: you can never know too much :) | 06:26 |
| Dr_Willis | fleakite: you dont really need anti virus software or to defrag your linux box either | 06:26 |
| fleakite | :) I was going to ask about that next .. cool | 06:27 |
| fleakite | Thanks guys | 06:27 |
| Dr_Willis | 'windows mindset training' | 06:27 |
| Valiant | Guest75733, I dont know how to fix that. I tried Ubuntu, Lubuntu, and Kubuntu, all worked fine using that method | 06:27 |
| fleakite | yeah :) | 06:27 |

| Guest83000 | guys Need some Help.i am Trying to boot ubuntu from Live cd.when i am move my cursor or trying to open any application then ubuntu got hanged | 06:29 |
| wylde_ | dontknow: there are AV's for linux if you're concerned. Odds are you get rooted before you get a virus though. heh | 06:29 |
| Dr_Willis | how do you 'really' know your MS system is infected or not.. ;) | 06:29 |
| fleakite | useful link, thanks. i have to read the "from windows to ubuntu philosophy guide" | 06:29 |
| Kliment | Hello everyone. I'm the maintainer of a multiplatform wx app and a user of mine is reporting a really strange problem. Since the latest Ubuntu update they are seeing a missing attribute error in several wx classes when accessed from Python. | 06:29 |
| CoJaBo | dontknow: Unless you're running a webserver, its generally pretty hard to get a virus on Linux :P | 06:30 |
| ihashacks | Seriosly, especially with things like "Flame" - malware actually digitally signed with certs approved by MS! | 06:30 |
| Guest75733 | Valiant: Thanks. I guess my Compaq has other problems. Thought/hoped it was just old harddrive. I'll have to try something else with it and will try Ubuntu on a diff computer. | 06:30 |
| Kliment | The same application worked correctly before the latest update, and now wx is broken to the point even wx.version() will not work | 06:30 |
| dontknow | Dr_Willis, i would know. and there are lots of malicious for windows, but it also has lots of malicious scanner | 06:31 |
| Kliment | I'm not at all sure how to approach the problem. | 06:31 |
| mz|` | Kliment: a paste may help ;) and the versions of system/python/else | 06:31 |
| Kliment | mz|`: https://github.com/kliment/Printrun/issues/235 | 06:31 |
| Dr_Willis | ive had more isues with false positives on windows scanners then i have viruses.. ;) | 06:31 |
| Kliment | mz|`: Is that useful? I've had another independent report since, I cannot reproduce it myself. | 06:32 |
| Guest83000 | guys Need some Help.i am Trying to boot ubuntu from Live cd.when i am move my cursor or trying to open any application then ubuntu got hanged | 06:32 |
| wylde_ | Kliment: file a bug and be thorough with the info you provide. Maybe hit up the dev's and ubuntu-bugs mailing lists. | 06:32 |
| Kliment | mz|`: I asked them to install libwxgtk2.8-dev in case it's a dependency issue | 06:32 |
| dontknow | Dr_Willis, i wasn't useing realtime scanner on windows, but infection shows itself | 06:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest83000: you chedkec the cd on other pcs/ checked the ios md5? did a mem test? | 06:32 |
| Kliment | But wx seems to be there, just not all of it | 06:32 |
| mz|` | Kliment: seems other people also have this issue after an upgrade to 12.04 : http://pastebin.com/NkqqnnaY | 06:33 |
| wylde_ | Kliment: encourage your users to file bug reports then. If there's more than 1 user affected it get automatically confirmed. | 06:33 |
| dontknow | wylde, i thought those antiviruses was for windows infection spread | 06:33 |
| Kliment | mz|`: Yes that's one of my users too | 06:33 |
| MonkeyDust | remember the FLAME virus | 06:34 |
| wylde_ | dontknow: for the most part yes. There's a tiny chance of virus infection in linux. However, you have to be running a pretty darn insecure system for one to actually manage to accomplish anything. | 06:34 |
| mz|` | Kliment: oh well | 06:34 |
| mz|` | print wx.version() -> print wx.__version__ ? | 06:35 |
| Kliment | mz|`: wx.version() works for me | 06:35 |
| mz|` | but not for your user | 06:35 |
| Kliment | >>> wx.version() | 06:35 |
| Kliment | '2.8.11.0 (gtk2-unicode)' | 06:35 |
| dontknow | wylde_, i am using ubuntu with ufw and router firewall | 06:36 |
| mz|` | seems the upgrade did remove some packages from the system | 06:36 |
| Kliment | mz|`: Any idea which ones? | 06:36 |
| Dr_Willis | reduntant firewalls ;) | 06:36 |
| wylde_ | we're all entitled to be as paranoid as we want :) | 06:37 |
| dontknow | wylde_, and for browsing js and plugins disabled, it is not probably get infected, just would't know if i got infeted | 06:37 |
| wylde_ | sadly the more redundancy you add is that many more things to break. | 06:37 |
| MonkeyDust | being paranoid doesnt mean nobody's watching you | 06:37 |
| * wylde_ searches for his foil cap... | 06:38 | |

| glebihan | largerthanlife, install it from the repositories, the package name is libapache2-mod-jk | 06:43 |
| dontknow | Adam1213, in "Default" folder there must be a " bookmarks.bak" file, it is the backup bookmark | 06:43 |
| Adam1213 | dontknow: there is | 06:44 |
| wylde_ | !find mod_jk.so | 06:44 |
| ubottu | File mod_jk.so found in libapache2-mod-jk | 06:44 |
| Adam1213 | * the file exists - i might try copying it over the current bookmarks file | 06:44 |
| largerthanlife | I did glebihan , went through the tutorial http://blog.rajeevsharma.in/2010/02/configure-modjk-with-apache-22-in.html , but it doesnt seem to work | 06:44 |

| Adam1213 | dontknow: the bookmarks.bak file is also empty | 06:45 |

| dontknow | Adam1213, you fucked up then | 06:45 |
| Tm_T | dontknow: language, please | 06:46 |
| wylde_ | largerthanlife: also, since it's an apache mod, you have to enable it 'sudo a2enmod modname' then 'sudo service apache2 restart' after it's installed | 06:46 |
| glebihan | largerthanlife, do you get any error messages which might help solving the issue ? | 06:46 |

| dontknow | jarray52, you will probably get different suggestions and non of them will remove completely | 06:54 |
| largerthanlife | wylde: glebihan I tried to enable sudo a2enmod mod_jk.so it says mod_jk.so doesnt exist | 06:54 |
| jarray52 | dontknow: fglrx interferes with the radeon driver. I removed all packages with fglrx in it, and lsmod still shows fglrx after a reboot. | 06:55 |
| thechef | jarray52, did you ever install it as a non-package? | 06:55 |
| jarray52 | thechef: Not that I know of. | 06:56 |
| wylde_ | largerthanlife: 'sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-jk' then use the commands I posted earlier. Make sure you do any needed configuration before enabling it and restarting apache. | 06:56 |
| largerthanlife | wylde: I have already installed libapache-mod-jk, should I remove it and install it again? | 06:57 |
| wylde_ | largerthanlife: moment. | 06:57 |
| largerthanlife | sure | 06:57 |
| thechef | jarray52, maybe you can find the kernel module in the filesystem and then track the packages which contain that file. Some dpkg query should be able to help you find it. | 06:57 |

| Zally666 | Well my tvtuner loads the wrong driver and i wonder how to initiate an autoscan tuner | 07:39 |
| DJones | Guest27250: From 10.04 or 10.10? | 07:39 |
| bazhang | Guest27250, what version of xubuntu | 07:40 |

| ubottu | dasleo: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 07:40 |
| yoyo | why ? | 07:41 |
| DJones | Guest27250: You can update to 12.04, but you will need to go through 11.04, 11.10 and then 12.04 to update | 07:42 |
| Zally666 | So howto autoscan for tuners? | 07:42 |
| Guest27250 | nice ... | 07:42 |
| Guest27250 | i`ll search on google how to and i`ll come back if i cant find | 07:43 |
| Madpilot | Guest27250, yeah, skipping versions when upgrading is not recommended. | 07:43 |
| dasleo | may fail to upgrade | 07:44 |
| Zally666 | How do i redetect my tuner with right driver? | 07:45 |

| Madpilot | GabrieleV, if you're actually running the alpha of 12.10, #ubuntu+1 is where you want to be | 08:02 |
| GabrieleV | Madpilot, Sorry, 12.04 :-( | 08:02 |
| GabrieleV | Madpilot, I run 12.04 | 08:02 |
| Madpilot | GabrieleV, heh, I wondered. That aside, I'm not much use on USB connection issues, sorry. | 08:03 |
| GabrieleV | Madpilot, Thnak you. Anyone ? | 08:04 |
| bazhang | GabrieleV, tried sudo blkid | 08:05 |

| Madpilot | OK, that's a nifty new 12.04/Unity trick. Taking a screenshot now has a camera shutter sound effect. Randomly cool. | 08:07 |
| bytecounter | I have a question regarding the soundsystem on Lubuntu | 08:08 |
| GabrieleV | bazhang, Disconnected, reconnected, run sudo blkid: same syslog error, and only my internal hdd partitions showed :-( | 08:08 |
| Madpilot | bytecounter, just ask, someone will help if they're able | 08:08 |
| Zally666 | So howto reinstall tuner? | 08:09 |
| bazhang | Zally666, how was it installed in the first place | 08:09 |
| Zally666 | Working out of the box | 08:10 |
| bazhang | Zally666, whats the make and model of the tuner | 08:10 |
| Zally666 | Dvb-t medion | 08:10 |
| bytecounter | Yesterday I installed the actual Lubuntu and it works fine. Only a little problem with my sound. I have a 5.1 card but there is 1 active channel only | 08:10 |
| bazhang | Zally666, thats not a make and model | 08:11 |
| bazhang | Zally666, what version of ubuntu are you on, and when did it *stop* working | 08:11 |
| Zally666 | No idea then... Ill have to check when i get home | 08:12 |
| GabrieleV | With 11.10 I had no problems mounting these usb disks .. | 08:12 |
| diego_ | hi, does someone uses subtitle editor? cos i have a problem with it | 08:12 |
| bazhang | Zally666, you cannot recall when it stopped working? | 08:12 |
| bazhang | Zally666, or your ubuntu version? | 08:13 |
| Zally666 | Precize and stopped after loading a bogus driver and vdr install | 08:13 |
| GabrieleV | Trying to boot 11.10 livecd | 08:13 |
| bazhang | Zally666, it was working, then you installed a driver for something else, and it suddenly stopped working? | 08:14 |
| Zally666 | Yup | 08:14 |
| feisar | Hi, when I login in to a newly installed 12.04 server I get some info about packages and updates, on another server which was updated to 12.04 I don't get this. Could someone let me know what I'm missing? | 08:14 |
| bazhang | Zally666, then undo the process? what driver, and for what device | 08:14 |
| bytecounter | Nobody any idea? | 08:15 |
| Dr_Willis | feisar: theres some 'motd' scripts/tools that do that feature. i looked into it ages ago. | 08:15 |
| Zally666 | Vdr howto i followed wanted to install a tuner driver | 08:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Zally666: you still fighting that thing? | 08:16 |
| gemini | prashv | 08:16 |
| feisar | Dr_Willis: oh right ok cheers | 08:16 |
| Zally666 | Yup can only try in the weekend | 08:16 |
| Dr_Willis | i think you should write it upo and post to the forums Zally666 | 08:16 |
| Dr_Willis | then you could referance the posting here. | 08:17 |
| diego_ | I have 2 questions: 1. DOes anyone uses subtitle editor and can give me a hand? 2. I installed subtitle workshop on wine and it works properly but it doesnt allow me to import videos (says unaceptable video format with every wsingle video), does anybody know how can i fix that? , thanks in advance) | 08:17 |
| Zally666 | But thers no cmd to autoscan hardware? | 08:17 |
| feisar | Dr_Willis: ah apt-get install update-motd might fix it ... a little strange why that was not installed when I updated | 08:18 |
| table9 | Where do I go to ask my ubuntu hardware questions? | 08:18 |
| Zally666 | :/ | 08:19 |
| feisar | table9: you'd probably want Linux hardware not Ubuntu, try #hardware | 08:19 |
| Kartagis | diego_: you can use gnomesubtitle | 08:19 |
| tol | hi guys | 08:20 |
| feisar | oh no, my mistake update-motd is not installed on a clean 12.04 either | 08:20 |
| tol | does anybody know a way to disable unity3d via bash? | 08:20 |

| weiyang | but I can't get a shell prompt from this port | 08:26 |
| Dr_Willis | weiyang: you ran a login command to use the port? | 08:28 |
| Dr_Willis | been years since i last used a serial terminal. ;) | 08:28 |
| Dr_Willis | i seem to recall having to use 'gettty' and telling it which serial port to use | 08:28 |
| adam__ | is this a place to get answers? lol | 08:29 |

| aloy99 | hey guys | 08:35 |
| aloy99 | quick question | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | perhaps if ubuntu one ever gets back the feature to sync notes. | 08:35 |
| aloy99 | why is it that when i try to download ubuntu/kubuntu using windows installer the download stalls? | 08:35 |
| eutheria | Dr_Willis, it seems that the replacement is not using tomboy | 08:36 |
| aloy99 | other versions work fine | 08:36 |
| Madpilot | Dr_Willis, tomboy syncs notes just fine to Ubuntu One, far as I can tell | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | aloy99: you could download the iso file directly. | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Madpilot: i thought they got rid of it.. all my notes are not there any more | 08:36 |
| aloy99 | But then wouldn't I have to mess with the partitions and all that? | 08:36 |
| sacarlson | aloy99: try a downloader that can restart on fail, or try torrent download | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | aloy99: you can download the ISO file.. the installer can use that file | 08:37 |
| weiyang | Dr_Willis, let me have a try | 08:37 |
| aloy99 | I see...where would I place the file after downloading it? | 08:37 |
| aloy99 | As in, in the directory for the installer? | 08:37 |
| Madpilot | Dr_Willis, I haven't check the online access directly from the U1 website, but syncing to a new tomboy install works. I just did that a few weeks ago when I built this new computer. | 08:37 |

| weiyang | Dr_Willis, wow, works | 08:39 |
| Madpilot | gvo, third button in from the left, the grey one iwth the box on it | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Madpilot: well the U1 web site has Music, files and contacts. no notes.. so that sort of kills off the main use i had for the notes. :) | 08:40 |

| weiyang | Dr_Willis, thanks :) | 08:40 |
| Dr_Willis | weiyang: you have to start the service to get the login. :) | 08:40 |
| Madpilot | gvo, in the top bar/menu bar when you hover over it, there should be one orange and two grey buttons on the top leftmost corner | 08:41 |
| gvo | The menubar just has the user@computername | 08:41 |
| gvo | Madpilot: Nope hovering over it doesn't change it | 08:41 |
| weiyang | Dr_Willis, so /etc/event.d/ttyS0.conf, just defines the event? | 08:41 |
| weiyang | Dr_Willis, while I also think this script does something | 08:42 |
| gvo | Madpilot: Stays the same hover or no hover. | 08:42 |
| Madpilot | gvo, hovering over where you see user@computername should get you the terminal's menus and those three buttons. Not there? | 08:42 |
| abhilash | Please suggest me | 08:42 |
| gvo | Madpilot: Not there. | 08:42 |
| abhilash | which one of the good nameserver software for linux | 08:42 |
| abhilash | for avoiding amplification attack | 08:43 |
| Madpilot | gvo, odd. Fullscreen terminal should have that, same as any other fullscreen app in Unity | 08:43 |
| Dr_Willis | weiyang: no idea. ive not messed with upstart or services in ages | 08:43 |
| Dr_Willis | weiyang: i wiould think there would be a /etc/init/tty1.conf type file for theserial terinal | 08:43 |
| gvo | Madpilot: I just discovered something. If I hold the alt key down and hover, it appears. | 08:43 |

| diego_ | Dr_Willis, sudo apt-get build-essential would work? | 08:46 |

| diego_ | well just "make" | 08:53 |
| Dr_Willis | diego_: what did you install exactly? what command are you using exactly.. whats the exact wrror message | 08:53 |
| diego_ | i install the package u told me, im trying to install aegisub | 08:54 |
| Madpilot | gvo, I stuck with pre-Unity Ubuntu for ages until just a few weeks ago too, still not a huge Unity fan... | 08:54 |
| diego_ | mi message is in french but tells something like "not make file avaliable" | 08:54 |
| bhavesh | no make file available | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | try 'make --help' | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | thats not the same as makes not insgtalled ;) | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | the source code seems to not use make perhaps... | 08:55 |

| diego_ | lol my linux seem babel tower | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | make should have been included with the build-essential package, | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | you did a 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' ? | 08:56 |
| diego_ | event not found | 08:56 |
| diego_ | no, i just dl from synaptic | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | diego_: do the command.... | 08:56 |

| diego_ | imposible to obtain | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | close synaptic... befor using apt-get on the cli... ;) | 08:57 |
| gvo | Madpilot: Definitely too unstable to run. I'm setting this system up for linux newbies to run and there's no way this will work. | 08:58 |
| diego_ | ok, it worked | 08:58 |
| diego_ | but i still cant make | 08:58 |
| Madpilot | gvo, Unity for me is stable enough, but it's just cramped and, well, odd. We moved my grandmother to Ubuntu several years back, very successfully, but we'll be leaving her machine on 10.04 indefinitely, she would NOT cope gracefully with Unity | 08:59 |

| bhavesh | Madpilot, she should be able to use gnome-session-fallback, isnt it? | 09:00 |
| diego_ | i gotta go ill keep trying after | 09:00 |
| Dr_Willis | gnome-fallback may go away in the next release or 2 also.. i thought | 09:00 |
| bhavesh | there's even MATE | 09:00 |
| Dr_Willis | or Lubuntu ;) | 09:00 |
| Madpilot | bhavesh, possibly, but 10.04 works and she knows her way around (at least, around the simplified and customized desktop we set up for her) so why change things? | 09:01 |
| gvo | Madpilot: I can imagine. Before I give up I'm going to try gnome-shell | 09:01 |
| Dr_Willis | i find gnome-shel even weirder then unity in many ways. ;) | 09:02 |
| speakman | MonkeyDust: alsamixer isn't much of a solution, but even there the Master volume does not work. PCM does though. | 09:02 |
| gvo | Dr_Willis: Oh well. Maybe it will behave better. | 09:02 |
| Madpilot | we chopped Gnome 2.x down to the bare minimums for her, no extraneous cruft to get in the way. Big Firefox icon, big email icon, pretty much nothing else. Unity doesn't allow that sort of customisation, so it's out... | 09:03 |
| rileyp | i get tearing in youtube is there a fix? i have nvidia 9200 | 09:03 |

| Curt`` | Hello. I'm currently using 12.04. I've been trying to find a way to map shift+capslock to toggle caps lock, unsuccessfully. I currently have caps lock as a backspace key. | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | gnome-shell does have some neat features. like how you can add o extensions from within the firefox browser and the gnome shell sites | 09:03 |
| gvo | Dr_Willis: I shudder to think if that happened to my newbies. | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | caps lock as backspace? that is.. different. ;) | 09:04 |

| Dr_Willis | they all have some neat features from the desktop-user point of view.. ;) | 09:06 |
| eagle_eye | Dr_Willis: probably, ICS is a cool OS! | 09:07 |
| eagle_eye | Madpilot: :-)) | 09:07 |
| gvo | Gnome-shell looks like it'll work fine. Thanks Madpilot and Dr_Willis | 09:07 |
| Madpilot | gvo, no problem, good luck. Do file bug reports against Unity if it keeps being weird... | 09:08 |
| gvo | Madpilot: If it were reproducible, sure, but a reboot fixed it and I don't know how to make it fail. | 09:08 |
| gvo | Madpilot: A bug report would most likely be just noise. | 09:09 |
| Madpilot | gvo, fair enough. | 09:09 |
| asmod4n | hello, writing a bash script to recursively create new directories based on filenames, the files are named like this fileS01E01.zip how can i check for the S01 part and create directories based on it? | 09:10 |

Nothing is listed under the "Additional Drivers" so I downloaded it form the nvidia website ( http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/44868 ). After running, appearntly it thinks i do not have an "NVIDIA GPU supported by the 295.53 NVIDIA Linux graphics driver". I did a "sudo lshw > 'some file'" and did a searc | 12:03 |

| Dr_Willis | curt: is this a laptop with that optimus chipset stuff? | 12:04 |
| curt | Yes afaik. I read that it is not supported, however I was hoping I could comprimize by needing to restart my computer after some input by me. | 12:06 |
| fidel | curt: bumblebee might be an option for optimus on linux | 12:06 |
| fidel | on the other hand - i would ask myself if you really need the nv-part on the linux side. if not - disabling the big nv-gfx saves a ton of power (disabling gave me about 1 additional hour of energy) | 12:07 |
| Dr_Willis | reading the reviews.. yes it has Optimus.... | 12:09 |
| curt | fidel, I was hoping there could be a way to switch by somehow ignoring hardware and unignoring hardware or something, and then restarting my computer. This would result in most use the integrated. | 12:09 |
| Dr_Willis | curt: id check the forums and the askubuntu.com site. someone Might have figured out a way | 12:10 |
| Dr_Willis | could be bios settings to turn it off also | 12:10 |
| fidel | and checkout bumblebee ;) | 12:11 |
| curt | I shall thanks. | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | the few reviews at the site above state they have had issues with it in linux also.. but bumble bee is constantly impoveing | 12:11 |
| fidel | i actually never really tried to use the nv card in linux - as i have no use for it. so totally disabling it was the right solution here ;) | 12:12 |

| asmom | hey guys, while moving a partition with GParted, my ubuntu crashed while it was doing the proccess so the operation failed. The partition I tried to move has a windows installation on it and was on the right side of an unallocated space, tried moving it to the left, now it considers the unallocated space part of the partition, it's full with errors and the windows installation on it won't start | 12:13 |
| asmom | after choosing it on Grub2. how can i fix this now, could fsck command from a livecd help or should I do something else? | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | gparted failing during the middle of a resize is not a good thing. the sure fix would be a reinstall of windows. | 12:15 |
| curt | It appears as though osc1882 at least has the hardware listed. Strangely, I dont even see it. | 12:15 |
| asmom | Dr_Willis, i don't mind about the windows installation, but the whole file system is corrupted now | 12:17 |

| Ileden | gpetrakis: if kernel gets updates to latest without distribution upgrades, then I do have the latest (or a few days ago at least). | 12:53 |
| Pici | Ileden: You should be doing dist-upgrades regularly if you intend to keep your install fully up to date. A dist-upgrade does NOT bring you to a new Ubuntu release. | 12:53 |
| Pici | !dist-upgrade | 12:53 |

| mlpokn | so? | 13:00 |
| mlpokn | done | 13:01 |
| Dr_Willis | mkdir has some parrent option i think to make all the sub dirs also. | 13:01 |
| mlpokn | made mozilla first, and then plugins | 13:01 |
| Dr_Willis | -p would make them all. :) | 13:01 |

| sddhrthrt | Dr_Willis: still it's not working. | 13:06 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Dr_Willis, then i made it wrong :)) | 13:06 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Can you tell me how it should be? | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | WhereIsMySpoon: look at the examples in fstab. :) you are missing WHERE to mount it | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | and you dont use wildcards.... | 13:06 |
| Ileden | auronandace: Yeah, I do it too when I have the time :) Anyway, got to go. I'll do the upgrades, at least a dist-upgrade... seems like some kernel packet is being held back on regulard upgrade, maybe that fixed the issue. Bye! | 13:06 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | Dr_Willis, oh, i thought this option just made it possible for any user to use the mount command to mount vfat type systems | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | why would you use readonly option also? | 13:07 |
| mlpokn | Guys, any way of getting gopenvpn installed? Tried it on ubuntu and it didn't work | 13:07 |
| sddhrthrt | mlpokn: done. tried both versions of flash availabe in it :/ | 13:07 |
| mlpokn | what does it say? | 13:07 |
| auronandace | Ileden: have fun | 13:07 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Dr_Willis, basically what im looking for is a way of mounting a device then having any user (or a specific user) be able to modify files on that device, not just root | 13:07 |
| sddhrthrt | mlpokn: it completes the installaion.. but when i open a vdeo in firefox, it's again nothing :/ | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | WhereIsMySpoon: your fstab line is totally wrong in a great many ways. ;) | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | !fstab | 13:07 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 13:07 |
| mlpokn | try on youtube? | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | WhereIsMySpoon: 'ro' = read only | 13:07 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | oh :D | 13:08 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i will remove that | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | WhereIsMySpoon: and for removeable vfat/ntfs I thought that was the default anyway | 13:08 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Dr_Willis, nope, only root can `mount' | 13:08 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | then if i try to, for example, touch a file | 13:08 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | it says no permissions | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | WhereIsMySpoon: using the GUI - your user can access them fully? | 13:08 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Dr_Willis, this is via console | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | WhereIsMySpoon: the 'user' option lets users mount things. you may still need to set other options to give them proper permissions. | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | is this vfat only? or ntfs also? | 13:09 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Dr_Willis, just vfat | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | the ntfs-config tool can also automacally add entries i think for ntfs/vfat | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | and set the auto mounting options | 13:09 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Dr_Willis, but it doesnt matter if i allow ntfs as well, tho im only interested in vfat | 13:09 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i dont want auto mount | 13:10 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i specifically want to be able to mount manually | 13:10 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | vfat type filesystems | 13:10 |
| sddhrthrt | ehh... anybody? Anybody getting blank screen on ubuntu while playin flash videos? | 13:10 |
| mlpokn | try on youtube? | 13:10 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | and let a normal user be able to modify them | 13:10 |
| mlpokn | Guys, any way of getting gopenvpn installed? Tried it on ubuntu and it didn't work | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | !vfat | 13:10 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 13:10 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | !FUSE | 13:11 |
| ubottu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | fuse is used by the ntfs-3g, not needed for just vfat | 13:11 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | !NTFS-3g | 13:11 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 13:11 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ntfs is not what i need | 13:11 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i need vfat | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | the 2 are intertwined... | 13:12 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Dr_Willis, also, no i cannot create files via the GUI or console | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | the factoid above mentions using the udisks command. | 13:12 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Dr_Willis, the problem is not that i cannot write to the systems themselves | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | and gives examples of fstab lines.. | 13:13 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | the problem is that they are mounted by root | 13:13 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | as i cannot use the mount command as a normal suer | 13:13 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | user | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | with udisks you should be able to.. or make a proper fstab entry like the url showed. | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | /dev/hda1 /media/windows vfat user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0 | 13:13 |
| aguitel | what is caribou ? | 13:13 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i dont want | 13:13 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | auto mount | 13:13 |
| * WhereIsMySpoon looks further at the page | 13:13 | |
| Dr_Willis | its being mounted BY a command.... | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | its just using udisks, an the gnome mounting 'stuff' :) OR you can make a proper fstab entry and use mount | 13:14 |
| MonkeyDust | !info caribou | aguitel | 13:14 |

| foolove | what is the boot parameter to not boot into X | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis | http://my.opera.com/lounge/forums/topic.dml?id=83440 has examples also WhereIsMySpoon | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis | theres litrally 1000's of sites with how to mount vfat :) | 13:17 |
| foolove | if i stop X im not kicked to a command prompt my screen on the backend freezes | 13:17 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Dr_Willis, thanks ^^ | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis | !text | foolove | 13:17 |
| ubottu | foolove: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 13:17 |

| mlpokn | How can I install http://gopenvpn.sourceforge.net? | 13:19 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Anomie21, zip it up and xfer/ | 13:20 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ? | 13:20 |
| Anomie21 | WhereIsMySpoon: Hmm, thanks that might work | 13:20 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | :D | 13:20 |
| tuxgeek | Anomie21: ...and use the CLI | 13:20 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | it will at least reduce the time by a lot if u choose a good compression system | 13:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Anomie21: how many gb? | 13:20 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | over 9000 gb?! | 13:20 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | :D | 13:20 |
| Anomie21 | Dr_Willis: 1TB | 13:20 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ow | 13:20 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | thats a lot xD | 13:20 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Anomie21, why cant you just use whatever harddisk u got it on as an external to ur new pc? | 13:21 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Or whatever you're xfering it to | 13:21 |
| Dr_Willis | id use a terminal app/file manager like MC. and screen, and copy it in batches. | 13:21 |
| Dr_Willis | that way you can let the hd get a breather every so often. ;) | 13:21 |
| MonkeyDust | Anomie21 rsync is faster than cp or scp | 13:21 |
| Anomie21 | WhereIsMySpoon: I've just upgraded from my 640GB drive to a 1TB one so I'm transferring all my media from one drive to another + 300GB off data off my comp | 13:21 |
| Dr_Willis | ive backed up 3TB usb over usb2 befor.. usb3 is much faster. :) | 13:22 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | MonkeyDust, why is rsync faster than cp? | 13:22 |
| Anomie21 | The drives are USB3.0 but my pc is not :( | 13:22 |
| LoboX | sup all | 13:22 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Anomie21, that doesnt explain why you're xferring it, surely you could use both drives? | 13:22 |
| MonkeyDust | WhereIsMySpoon why is philosophical question, i just noticed it's faster | 13:22 |
| Anomie21 | WhereIsMySpoon: 'cause I want to use the 640GB drive for something else | 13:22 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | MonkeyDust, it is not a philosophical question | 13:22 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | it is a technical question | 13:23 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | why is rsync faster than cp | 13:23 |
| MonkeyDust | WhereIsMySpoon guess because it's a different technology | 13:23 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | if you dont have an answer or some evidence im inclined not to believe you unless i see some | 13:23 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | MonkeyDust, if you're talking about delta xfer, that doesnt make it quicker to xfer files that arent already partially on the drive you're xferring to | 13:24 |
| LoboX | http://pastebin.com/p5wSVcve <--- is this ok? for some reason my eth1 is not getting the static ip | 13:25 |

| Axeman | so about a week or two ago - i was in here, and some of you nice folk were helping me figure out how to get zoneminder running on ubuntu. i got as far as editing a zoneminder.conf file, but left at that anyone know what goes in there? | 13:30 |
| compdoc | Axeman, on mine, I just installed zoneminder from the repos, and it worked | 13:31 |
| Axeman | seems i cant' get the vmware tools going either. (i'm on esxi vm) i see a Not Running | 13:32 |
| Axeman | ah compdoc. i fear i botched something | 13:32 |
| Axeman | i did the same. it worked.. but when we looked at apache. there were no conf files; no site responding, nothing | 13:32 |
| compdoc | does the zm webpage not open? | 13:32 |
| Axeman | i'm a linux boob; (no not noob, 1 step below noob). so this is tough. | 13:32 |
| Axeman | correct - i don't recall but we tried a few things like localhost/zoneminder or localhost/zm, etc to no avail. | 13:33 |
| benderbrodriguez | hi | 13:33 |
| Axeman | compdoc, are you on latest ubuntu? | 13:34 |
| compdoc | Axeman, might be best to use the ip address of eth0 | 13:34 |
| compdoc | Axeman, no, I have not upgraded my zm server yet. maybe I wont if youre having issues | 13:34 |
| compdoc | its 11.10 | 13:34 |
| benderbrodriguez | i've recently upgraded to 12.04 but now, when I boot the system the ubuntu logo appear but it continue loading at infinite... | 13:35 |
| Axeman | compdoc, don't go by my experience. my knowledge of this is sub zero; i know what "root" represents. beyond that, nothing | 13:35 |
| Axeman | i can't even get the damn vm tools installed. | 13:35 |

| LmAt | aboudreault: Here's the way to do it. You need to see the hardware modes that your hardware supports. You have a particular size in mind (what bit depth? 32?). You need to figure out what mode number that is. | 14:02 |
| foolove | dude this new unbuntu is a virus | 14:02 |
| foolove | lol | 14:02 |
| LmAt | aboudreault: Then, you need to tell grub to tell Linux to use that mode when starting up. | 14:02 |
| LmAt | aboudreault: ya falla? | 14:02 |
| foolove | when i do this the graphics card acts up and i dont get a command prompt | 14:02 |
| Dr_Willis | foolove: oh? that sounds like a framebuffer issue. | 14:03 |
| foolove | i just renamed the init scripts stupid x still loads | 14:03 |
| Dr_Willis | the nofb option i belive will make it not load the fb. | 14:03 |
| LmAt | aboudreault: So, to do this... | 14:03 |
| LjL | !text | foolove | 14:03 |
| ubottu | foolove: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 14:03 |
| Dr_Willis | perhaps you are not using lightdm then | 14:03 |
| neiliob1973 | Having some networking issues...who can help? | 14:03 |
| Dr_Willis | you can also do sudo service lightdm stop from any terminal, or the consoles | 14:04 |
| foolove | i thought i was using gdm which i renamed gdm to gdm.NO | 14:04 |

| Dr_Willis | brb | 14:05 |
| LmAt | aboudreault: I think the easiest way to do this is to modify your /boot/grub/menu.lst . Make sure there's a fallback or backup. | 14:05 |
| genii-around | LmAt: That is grub1 | 14:05 |
| LmAt | aboudreault: The lines that you have that start with kernel | 14:05 |
| LmAt | aboudreault: Do you use grub1 or grub2? | 14:06 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Hi, is it possible to get the name of the block device if you only know the folder in which it's mounted? | 14:06 |
| LmAt | genii-around: He said he uses grub. I figured he'd speak up if he's using Grub2... should I think of it the other way around. | 14:06 |
| LmAt | ? | 14:06 |
| LmAt | WhereIsMySpoon: yes. | 14:06 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | LmAt, how | 14:06 |

| foolove | LjL believe you me that id deprecated beyond believe | 14:07 |
| OerHeks | WhereIsMySpoon, check your fstab? | 14:07 |
| LmAt | aboudreault: And look for a line like "GRUB_GFXMODE=15x25x8" and change it to the correct resolution. | 14:08 |
| LmAt | aboudreault: (again, make a back up). | 14:08 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | OerHeks, it's manually mounted | 14:08 |
| aboudreault | LmAt, I think it's grub 1 | 14:08 |

| bonno | actually i want to ask some question about ssh | 14:08 |
| LmAt | aboudreault: Uncomment the line if it's commented (remove the leading #). Also, make sure the line GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep is in there somewhere (uncommented) | 14:08 |
| LjL | bonno: ##networking maybe, not sure | 14:08 |
| LmAt | aboudreault: Okay, if it's grub one, let me know how many lines of /boot/grub/menu.lst start with "kernel" | 14:09 |
| aboudreault | LmAt, grub 1.99 | 14:09 |
| bonno | double # ? | 14:09 |

| neiliob1973 | can anyone help (or simply DIRECT me somewhere) for networking help? | 14:10 |

| LmAt | aboudreault: What's in /etc/default/grub ? | 14:11 |

| DJones | franciskx: utorrent is Windows software, you may be able to get it working using wine, but you could use Transmission which is a native application for Ubuntu | 14:28 |
| DJones | !wine | franciskx | 14:28 |

| phunyguy | monotux, that is a matter of opinion. | 14:29 |
| bhavesh | franciskx, There is Linux version of Utorrent too | 14:29 |
| monotux | transmission* | 14:29 |
| phunyguy | if you want utorrent-like, deluge is awesome. | 14:29 |
| bhavesh | franciskx, but its GUI runs in your browser, which may not be handy | 14:29 |
| martian | LmAt: I don't see why that would be a difficult task. A definition file could be configured by the user to specify that 'x' is short for /some/path and when one wants to use it, bash could simply assume that 'mv somefile x/' would expand to the defined path, unless one specified 'mv somefile ./x/' | 14:30 |
| monotux | phunyguy: it is? perhaps it's more stable nowadays than it was when i used it the first few times | 14:30 |
| LmAt | crap, I don't know how to turn on my windowing system... I thought it's "service light-dm start" | 14:30 |

| reisio | monotux: it's as stable as your Python install is | 14:30 |

| phunyguy | also deluge uses libtorrent which is awesome as well. | 14:30 |

| reisio | aria2 is great for one-off torrent downloads | 14:31 |
| LmAt | martian: That's what I thought.. Well, time for you to write a program :) Or just use a window manager :P | 14:31 |
| monotux | i think i came into contact with wine for the first time in 2002 or 2003, maybe my opinions of wine were settled then | 14:31 |
| phunyguy | monotux, utorrent runs OK in wine. It used to be quirky but I think it's OK now. | 14:32 |

| monotux | LmAt: no, i'm old ;( | 14:37 |
| LmAt | aboudreault: ahh. | 14:37 |
| aboudreault | was just to provide you an example of xrandr with DP1 | 14:37 |
| Axeman | thanks LjL ... i'm going to try zoneminder on ubuntu server. | 14:37 |
| LmAt | monotux: Yeah, only old people wink and frown at the same time :P | 14:37 |
| LmAt | aboudreault: ahh. | 14:37 |
| monotux | it actually takes deliberate practice | 14:37 |
| LmAt | aboudreault: I have my DVI1 but it's at the safe-ol 1028x1024. | 14:38 |
| Axeman | pray for me ye religious folks. athiests, please summon the FSM. | 14:38 |
| CarlFK | how do I bring up a unicode character picker? I need a diamond | 14:38 |
| monotux | anyways, time to do some real work before going home | 14:38 |

| phunyguy | I have googled this, and I know this may start some flame wars, but I am going to ask anyway. Is there a "Gubuntu" distro in the works? As a spinoff distro? I kind of like Gnome3, some don't, but I do. It would be nice to have an "official" Gubuntu.... | 14:41 |
| LmAt | CarlFK: You're bipolar. | 14:41 |
| phunyguy | (And I hate linux mint) | 14:41 |
| CarlFK | lol | 14:41 |
| LmAt | phunyguy: Nope. | 14:41 |
| cypher-neo | phunyguy, There is a distro called Ubuntu-GS Remix which is exclusively GNOME3 | 14:41 |
| phunyguy | cypher-neo, any good? | 14:41 |
| cypher-neo | phunyguy, It is currently unofficial but you can download it from sourceforge, i believe. It is nice! I've tried it. | 14:42 |
| ehmatthes | Can anyone help with a networking issue? Trying to get 'telnet rendezvous.heroku.com 5000' to work, keep banging my head against the wall. | 14:42 |
| reisio | phunyguy: my guess is it's Ubuntu, but with GNOME 3 with gnome shell by default, instead of Unity :p | 14:42 |
| reisio | AKA: stupid :p | 14:42 |
| zykotick9 | phunyguy: start with mini iso install - then add only what you want... | 14:42 |
| bhavesh | Can I get a Mac ISO for my Oracle VM? | 14:42 |
| reisio | bhavesh: yup | 14:42 |
| cypher-neo | phunyguy, Let me see if I can find you the link | 14:42 |
| Pici | bhavesh: What does that have to do with Ubuntu? | 14:43 |
| bhavesh | Pici: nothing :P sorry .. | 14:43 |
| reisio | Pici: Ubuntu is hist host | 14:43 |
| reisio | his* | 14:43 |
| Pici | reisio: so? | 14:43 |
| phunyguy | No I have gnome3 running, was just wondering about a distro | 14:43 |
| reisio | so this is #ubuntu :p | 14:43 |
| reisio | phunyguy: derivative distros are usually a waste of time, IMO | 14:43 |
| phunyguy | and Ubuntu GS Remix is unofficial | 14:43 |
| reisio | you can use vanilla GNOME 3 on Ubuntu | 14:43 |
| bhavesh | I know this channel is for Ubuntu support and I had to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:44 |
| cypher-neo | phunyguy, Oh, okay. Well, I did a review on it. You can read my report here: http://proxyglider.tumblr.com/post/24492914108/ubuntu-gs-remix-12-04-review | 14:44 |
| reisio | bhavesh: already answered you, anyways :p | 14:44 |
| LmAt | zykotick9: That's called arch linux :) | 14:44 |
| zykotick9 | reisio: ubuntu is a derivative ;) | 14:44 |
| phunyguy | thanks cypher-neo | 14:44 |
| reisio | zykotick9: yup :) | 14:44 |
| reisio | cypher-neo: wow, that's a background | 14:44 |
| cypher-neo | reisio, :D | 14:44 |
| echo083 | excuse me i've difficulties to see colors can someone tell me if the color #fbf9ee is pink ? | 14:44 |
| phunyguy | WOW, cypher-neo that webpage background almost gave me a seizure | 14:44 |
| cypher-neo | lol | 14:45 |
| LjL | echo083: no, yellowish white | 14:45 |
| reisio | cypher-neo: huh, usually I hate fixed backgrounds, but this works | 14:45 |
| echo083 | LjL, thanks !!! | 14:45 |
| cypher-neo | phunyguy, reisio, That was completely designed in GIMP! | 14:45 |
| echo083 | LjL, i was afraid to make a pink background on my website lol | 14:45 |
| LmAt | cypher-neo: You didn't use MS Word!? WOW! Excellent work!! | 14:45 |
| reisio | cypher-neo: naturally | 14:45 |
| reisio | echo083: gj | 14:46 |
| cypher-neo | LmAt, I used LibreOffice ;) | 14:46 |

| reisio | good job | 14:47 |
| Axeman | downloading server iso now. going a bit slow. | 14:47 |
| reisio | Axeman: did you choose a mirror near you? | 14:48 |
| auronandace | !torrents | Axeman | 14:48 |
| ubottu | Axeman: Precise can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/precise/desktop/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/precise/server/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your needs. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969 | 14:48 |
| jarray52 | I'm trying to remove the fglrx module and the associated kernel taint. Any suggestions on doing that? | 14:50 |
| phunyguy | cypher-neo, interesting write-up. I'm wondering if I should give it a go, I'm just not sure I want to give up EVERYTHING unity right now. I kind of like those tiny scrollbars... and the global app menu was great except for the fact that non maximized windows still kept the menu bar up top. In a perfect world for me, they would only be all the way up top for maximized windows. | 14:50 |
| Axeman | no reiso just cliked and it started downloading | 14:50 |
| Axeman | auronandace, dont' have a torent client. | 14:50 |
| omit | Hi again | 14:50 |
| Axeman | it's okay at 64% now | 14:50 |
| cypher-neo | phunyguy, Well, I dislike both of those features... but if you like them and Unity/GNOME3 work well together for you, then keep it that way. :) | 14:50 |
| cypher-neo | Hi omit | 14:51 |
| KornKage | wubi installed ubuntu makes it mount ntfs, which makes ubuntu super slow man.... | 14:51 |
| omit | My grub is broken. I tried a lot of tools (command line and boot-repair), but it fails | 14:51 |
| phunyguy | yeah I think you are right. I wonder if I can find those extensions standalone... | 14:51 |
| Axeman | can ubuntu participate in active directory domain? | 14:51 |
| phunyguy | and appmenu doesnt work so the only thing that is kept is the scrollbars | 14:51 |
| wilee-nilee | phunyguy, post the http of the bootinfo summary | 14:51 |
| phunyguy | wilee-nilee, hmmm? | 14:52 |
| auronandace | !ad | Axeman | 14:52 |
| ubottu | Axeman: You can learn more about ActiveDirectory intergration at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto | 14:52 |
| omit | "chroot" fails when I try to use it to reinstall grub | 14:52 |
| wilee-nilee | phunyguy, yo used the boot-repair tool that file is automatiacally generated | 14:52 |
| phunyguy | wilee-nilee, wrong person! | 14:52 |
| omit | it just doesn't respond after I run it | 14:52 |
| sacarlson | omit: how about super grub live disk then? | 14:52 |
| omit | sacarlson: haven't tried that yet | 14:53 |
| wilee-nilee | phunyguy, ah you are right sorry about that | 14:53 |
| wilee-nilee | omit, post the http of the bootinfo summary | 14:53 |
| Sidewinder1 | Axeman, Don't forget to md5sum the ISO prior to burning/copying to USB. :) | 14:53 |
| Axeman | OMG auronandace THANKS! | 14:53 |
| Phiscribe | i second super grub, its well...super | 14:53 |
| Axeman | okay Sidewinder1 | 14:53 |
| sacarlson | omit: it shouldn't be much trouble to fix grub unless you have like efi or raid system or? | 14:53 |
| omit | wilee-nilee: yes, 1 sec I generate it | 14:53 |
| omit | sacarlson: no efi or raid, just plain stuff | 14:54 |
| sacarlson | omit: set your bios to boot from wrong disk? | 14:54 |
| omit | sacarlson: the problem is that I can't even purge grub before trying to reinstall it | 14:54 |
| omit | sacarlson: no. It broke after a xubuntu 12.04 grub update | 14:54 |
| sacarlson | omit: install of grub2 should just scan for all bootable partitions and add them to be seen at boot, not much can go wrong | 14:55 |
| wilee-nilee | sacarlson, lol if grub is all there | 14:55 |
| omit | sacarlson: yes, but to install from the live cd I need to use chroot, which fails | 14:55 |
| wilee-nilee | the script will let us see more in detail | 14:56 |
| reisio | Axeman: next time choose a nearby mirror, or a torrent :) https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors | 14:57 |
| omit | wilee-nilee: yes. the system is still installing boot-repair... | 14:57 |
| Axeman | as for the md5, i just got it from ubuntu.com ... | 14:57 |
| Lantizia | How do I clear the fact I logged in over SSH from the logs? (so if someone logs in after me it'll show the person before me as being the last person to log in) | 14:57 |
| New0 | hi everyone. i am trying to install ubuntu via DOK. what is the best Format to the disk. by preference? FAT32, NTFS, ..... and do you know a good tool for the job? unetbootin.exe, usb-creator.exe tnx | 14:58 |
| Axeman | didn't know that - just saw big ole download button so did that | 14:58 |
| reisio | Lantizia: find logs, delete lines | 14:58 |
| reisio | Axeman: right right | 14:58 |
| Lantizia | reisio, that would delete all records of anyone logging in | 14:58 |
| TheLordOfTime | New0: for linux, ext4 is the perfect ubuntu fs. NTFS and FAT32 dont work well enough. now what's DOK? | 14:58 |
| sacarlson | Lantizia: cd /var/log ; grep yourusername ; delete all files you see your self in | 14:58 |
| reisio | New0: DOK? | 14:58 |
| reisio | Lantizia: no it wouldn't | 14:58 |
| schnuffle | DOK? | 14:59 |
| New0 | reisio, Disk On Key | 14:59 |
| Lantizia | reisio, sacarlson, lastlog isn't a normal text file | 14:59 |
| reisio | New0: that's a new one | 14:59 |
| reisio | schnuffle: USB :p | 14:59 |
| schnuffle | New0: I can recommend yumi,xboot ( Windows ) or another check pendrivelinux.com | 14:59 |
| reisio | New0: the install image has its own filesystem | 14:59 |
| reisio | New0: you can dd it to the USB stick | 14:59 |
| sacarlson | Lantizia: you mean yestarday or 30 days ago are not text as the are compressed? | 15:00 |
| reisio | ah, on Windows | 15:00 |
| reisio | New0: I'd use unetbootin, yup | 15:00 |
| Lantizia | sacarlson, /var/log/lastlog isn't a text file | 15:00 |
| schnuffle | New0: I would go for yumi, which lets you create multiple OS on USB | 15:00 |
| Lantizia | sacarlson, it's just data | 15:01 |
| maysara | hi, i want to install aegisub. Can anyone tell me how to do that? http://www.aegisub.org/#download | 15:01 |
| omit | is there another way to get the log that using boot-repair | 15:01 |
| yeats | New0: just use unetbootin - FAT32 or whatever format the USB is in should work fine | 15:01 |
| New0 | reisio, TheLordOfTime sorry mayby Disk On Key is the way We (israelies) spelled it. what do you call it? and by the way i meant for the DOK not to the HDD and i can do FAT, FAT32, or NTFS (Windows reason) | 15:01 |
| omit | it refuses to install now (which is crazy because it worked twice this afternoon) | 15:01 |
| sacarlson | Lantizia: strang my /var/log/lastlog date is 2012-05-15 | 15:01 |
| genii-around | !info aegisub | 15:01 |
| ubottu | Package aegisub does not exist in precise | 15:01 |
| reisio | New0: most say 'to USB', IME | 15:01 |
| reisio | New0: you want to install onto the USB key, or _from_ it? | 15:02 |
| genii-around | Hm | 15:02 |
| schnuffle | maysara: You'll nedd to download and compile it | 15:02 |
| sacarlson | Lantizia: what date is yours set as last modified for /var/log/lastlog | 15:02 |
| genii-around | !info aegisub quantal | 15:02 |
| sacarlson | ? | 15:02 |
| ubottu | aegisub (source: aegisub): advanced subtitle editor. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.1.9-1 (quantal), package size 1084 kB, installed size 3048 kB | 15:02 |
| maysara | schnuffle, how to compile it? | 15:03 |
| schnuffle | maysara: as ubottu states I`m wrong and you just need to activate universe repo | 15:03 |
| maysara | i'm a beginner | 15:03 |
| New0 | reisio, from it. yeats sounds good tnx :) | 15:03 |
| schnuffle | maysara: open software center and search for it | 15:03 |
| genii-around | schnuffle: It's available for Quantal but not Precise | 15:03 |
| maysara | it's not there | 15:03 |
| New0 | also tnx everyone here | 15:03 |
| LmAt | maysara: yo | 15:03 |
| Lantizia | sacarlson, the modified date the the time i logged in | 15:03 |
| maysara | LmAt, hi | 15:04 |
| sacarlson | Lantizia: then better delete that too | 15:04 |
| LmAt | maysara: It must not be a very good program. | 15:04 |
| Lantizia | sacarlson, that'll just delete ALL logs of who has EVER logged in - your not really helping | 15:04 |
| LmAt | maysara: I see on http://www.aegisub.org , under "Source Code" for Unix, the table doesn't have a bottom line. | 15:04 |
| maysara | LmAt, well i used to use it on windows | 15:05 |
| maysara | LmAt, it's the best for me | 15:05 |
| sacarlson | Lantizia: you didn't say you wanted to save any data of others loging in now did you? | 15:05 |
| LmAt | maysara: What kind of programmer would not have a bottom line in one of his tables? He should be using CSS, which either he is, and he customized the table to take that line out, or he doesn't use CSS in which case he's a fool of a programer. | 15:05 |
| LmAt | maysara: Anyway, to get it... | 15:05 |
| Lantizia | sacarlson, yeah I did | 15:05 |
| Lantizia | See..... How do I clear the fact I logged in over SSH from the logs? (so if someone logs in after me it'll show the person before me as being the last person to log in) | 15:05 |
| New0 | yeats, hoo also. i would line (not have to ) to save the modification on the Try Ubuntu USB (4gb) | 15:05 |
| LmAt | maysara: Have you downloaded it yet? | 15:05 |
| maysara | LmAt, yup | 15:05 |
| LmAt | maysara: Have you downloaded it yet? | 15:06 |
| LmAt | oops | 15:06 |
| LmAt | sorry. | 15:06 |
| New0 | btw the proccess of creating the USB DOK. is from windows. | 15:06 |
| LmAt | maysara: Did you un-tar it? | 15:06 |
| maysara | LmAt, yes | 15:06 |
| New0 | yeats ^ | 15:06 |
| thomasd | Ok this is entirely my fault but I was mucking around where i shouldent be in nvidia-settings. And wen I re booted all hell broke loose. OpenGL isnt working Everything looks grainy and my computer is constantly throwing errors that programs have crashed that i don't even know | 15:07 |
| thomasd | i had open | 15:07 |
| LmAt | maysara: Did you configure the build? | 15:07 |
| sacarlson | Lantizia: how about fake a login that they did after you log out | 15:07 |
| maysara | LmAt, how to do that? | 15:07 |
| LmAt | maysara: Good question. | 15:07 |
| LmAt | maysara: see teh file "configure"? | 15:07 |
| LmAt | maysara: do ls -l | 15:08 |
| LmAt | (or ll) | 15:08 |
| LmAt | configure is marked 'x' attribute (executable). | 15:08 |
| LmAt | then type "head configure" | 15:08 |
| LmAt | And you see "#! /bin/sh"? | 15:08 |
| maysara | wait | 15:08 |
| LmAt | maysara: That means that the file's contents are to be interpreted by /bin/sh | 15:08 |
| LmAt | maysara: waiting | 15:08 |
| ska | in 12.04, I have the Radeon 6530 gpu.. Can I use the open-source driver? I was unable to install without the proprietary fglrx though. Just curious if I can use the open source one. | 15:09 |
| wilee-nilee | omit, you can run this from a live cd and the results.txt will be in home copy and paste all of it to a pastebin. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1030518/ | 15:09 |
| maysara | LmAt, what's "ls -l"? | 15:10 |
| thomasd | Ok this is entirely my fault but I was mucking around where i shouldent be in nvidia-settings. And wen I re booted all hell broke loose. OpenGL isnt working Everything looks grainy and my computer is constantly throwing errors that programs have crashed that i don't even know i had open. | 15:10 |
| LmAt | maysara: man ls | 15:10 |
| LmAt | maysara: are you familiar with "man"? | 15:10 |
| LmAt | maysara: man tells all. | 15:10 |
| maysara | i don't know that | 15:10 |
| Phiscribe | man is so literal though | 15:10 |
| * thomasd try's "man woman" | 15:10 | |
| LmAt | maysara: type "man ls" it will tell you nearly everything there is to know about ls. | 15:11 |
| reisio | thomasd: check /etc/X11/ for a xorg.conf.old | 15:11 |
| * LmAt tries man woman | 15:11 | |
| LmAt | "No manual entry for woman" ... We'll have to fix that. | 15:11 |
| reisio | LmAt: both ways, eh? | 15:11 |
| omit | wilee-nilee: what command should I run to get the log ? | 15:11 |
| * Phiscribe watches a black hole swallow thomasd LmAt the known universe | 15:11 | |

| omit | wilee-nilee: sorry I saw it! (never used pastebin before) | 15:12 |
| reisio | thomasd: and the date? | 15:12 |
| wilee-nilee | omit, the whole one I posted as a copy and paste to a ubuntu terminal, a live cd seems to be what your only option is. | 15:12 |
| thomasd | reisio last touched june 6 | 15:12 |
| reisio | kinky | 15:12 |
| maysara | LmAt, plz explain step by step | 15:12 |
| wilee-nilee | omit, cool you see the link | 15:12 |
| reisio | thomasd: so that may well be what you want, mv xorg.conf elsewhere, and .old to xorg.conf | 15:12 |
| LmAt | maysara: Are you running tmux? | 15:12 |

| jarray52 | I would like to delete the fglrx kernel module. Where are kernel modules typically stored? | 15:13 |
| LmAt | maysara: Can you see irc while you're typing into your terminal? | 15:13 |
| reisio | jarray52: wouldn't keeping it from loading suffice? | 15:13 |
| maysara | LmAt, yes | 15:13 |
| Phiscribe | also most cards have a headphone cut off, they turn off speakers if headphone is plugged in, sometimes it gets stuck | 15:13 |
| LmAt | maysara: type "man ls" | 15:13 |
| thomasd | reisio. Nice that they have a backup incase someone *embarased face* messes up | 15:13 |
| Phiscribe | ack mt | 15:13 |
| LmAt | maysara: At the top it says "ls - list directory contents". It lists directory contents. | 15:13 |
| LmAt | maysara: Now type "/-l" which means search (/) for the string "-l". | 15:14 |
| thomasd | ok i'ma try rebooting now | 15:14 |
| jarray52 | reisio: No. I want it destroyed. :) | 15:14 |
| LmAt | maysara: It says, down there where the entry for "-l" is, it says "use a long listing format". See that? | 15:14 |
| thomasd | maysara: type ls -R / | 15:14 |
| omit | wilee-nilee: here's the result | 15:14 |

| LmAt | maysara: Got it? | 15:16 |
| schnuffle | jarray52: after those steps the kernel moduole shoud be uninstalled | 15:17 |

| endiruna | hi i want to make a local network for students with ubuntu which is connected to the university network. I do not want to put bios passwords etc but i am scared of people changing the local root passwords via physical accessand doing nasty things. Is there a way to notice if the passwd or shadow have changed. in case one chages it and than copies back the shadow file can i notice that? | 15:17 |
| maysara | LmAt, it says cannot write "-R /" | 15:18 |

| LmAt | maysara: I didn't tell you to put that! | 15:18 |
| LmAt | maysara: thomasd did, and he's gone now, so you don't have to do what he says. | 15:19 |
| omit | wilee-nilee: I'm doing it | 15:19 |
| maysara | LmAt, i followed what u said | 15:19 |
| LmAt | maysara: Okay, so now you know what "ls -l" is? | 15:19 |
| jarray52 | schnuffle: I'm using a newer kernel from backports. Let me try uninstalling and reinstalling that. | 15:19 |
| wilee-nilee | omit, cool just run that fdisk to make sure your ubuntu install on the sda is showing as a sda still. | 15:19 |
| sacarlson | endiruna: you could setup tripwire to triger any changes to files like that and any other you want to watch | 15:20 |
| maysara | LmAt, yes | 15:20 |
| LmAt | maysara: so now, ls -l in your aegisub dir. | 15:20 |
| LmAt | maysara: and you see the item called configure? | 15:20 |
| LmAt | maysara: I gotta go. type "./configure && make && make install" | 15:21 |

| maysara | LmAt, ok | 15:21 |
| wilee-nilee | omit, what is the line you mean exactly | 15:21 |
| wilee-nilee | post it | 15:21 |
| omit | wilee-nilee: I mean, a blank line is shown and I don't have the control of the console, it seems to be still running. Line 8 is the problem: sudo chroot /mnt | 15:22 |
| wilee-nilee | omit, from the script I posted? | 15:22 |

| omit | wilee-nilee: I have already tried to interrupt it with ctrl-c, and after some point I'm logged with #, but I find it strange | 15:24 |
| wilee-nilee | omit, you might need to run a fsck I am not familiar with doing this really. was the upgrade without errors? | 15:24 |
| omit | wilee-nilee: (but now I'm leaving the command run, I haven't done anything yet) | 15:24 |
| omit | wilee-nilee: which upgrade? | 15:24 |
| genii-around | endiruna: iwatch is also not bad | 15:24 |
| wilee-nilee | omit, you want the terminal to show # to run the actual commands in a chroot | 15:25 |
| wilee-nilee | omit, was this not a upgrade from a earlier release | 15:25 |
| omit | wilee-nilee: yes I know, but I had to interrupt it before it shows (and after that the other commands did not work) | 15:25 |
| omit | wilee-nilee: no, i did a clean fresh install of xubuntu 12.04 a week ago. Everything was perfect until today when the grub update proposed by the update manager broke everything. I didn't edit any update repository or anything | 15:26 |

| reisio | LVM is more useful if your foresee partition changes in the future | 15:33 |
| reisio | muszysko: fat & sassy, you? | 15:33 |
| Axeman | it's a VM.. worst case i just pop in a new disk, eh ? | 15:33 |
| reisio | Axeman: worst case you boot it from a live image and repartition a bit | 15:33 |
| reisio | less risk because VM guests are usually so simply backed up | 15:34 |
| Axeman | hasn't asked me about lamp i'm guesing that's coming towards the end ? | 15:34 |
| reisio | Axeman: what, with Ubuntu Server? | 15:34 |
| Axeman | yeah reisio | 15:34 |
| reisio | that's traditionally where such things are, the end, but I haven't ever used it | 15:34 |
| Axeman | or was that an option at the start i should've specified | 15:34 |
| reisio | although Ubuntu Server... it may well come standard, but it'll probably take the form of an opt-OUT at the end | 15:35 |
| wilee-nilee | omit, To be honest with a long getting to the chroot with line 7 I don't think you are there, you might have a corrupted file system, that a fsck might fix. YOur problems I think honestly are beyond a IRC fix, use the ubuntu forums, or maybe just check the HD with the smart tool, it is hard to say what is going on, it will not run the standard commands. | 15:35 |
| omit | wilee-nilee: OK I'll try that. Thanks very much for you help. | 15:37 |
| wilee-nilee | omit, no problem. Sound like mpre then grub is broken really. | 15:37 |

| Axeman | here's a dumb question... it prompted me to create and set a password for a non-admin user when i was installing... | 15:49 |
| Axeman | what's my root login/password? | 15:49 |
| Axeman | i don't recall setting that anywhere | 15:49 |
| Pici | !root | Axeman | 15:50 |
| ubottu | Axeman: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 15:50 |
| sacarlson1 | omit: it should be as easy as this: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda # change sda1 and sda to your choice (from live cd boot) | 15:50 |
| Axeman | aah i'm learnin! | 15:50 |

| sacarlson1 | jarray52: so I assumed it was not in the standard repository but it just seems missing for reasons unknown | 16:30 |
| jarray52 | sacarlson1: What's the difference between headers and image. | 16:30 |
| farid_ | schnuffle: Ok, thanks a lot | 16:30 |
| sacarlson1 | jarray52: well the headers are just for compiling drivers the image is what boots | 16:30 |
| farid_ | schnuffle: I'll do that now & report back on progress...:)) | 16:31 |
| schnuffle | farid_: good luck | 16:32 |

| AceFace | i can ping google.com over eth0 | 17:14 |
| AceFace | but i cannot get eth1 to ping | 17:15 |
| AceFace | here is ping results | 17:17 |
| AceFace | http://pastebin.com/j7gA75df | 17:17 |
| roasted_ | is gateway not needed for eth1? o.O | 17:18 |
| M4rc3l | my keyboard doesnt work with ubuntu when i log in all the keyboard lighs are off and backspace is spamming even though im not pressing it help | 17:18 |
| AceFace | from what i understand, second gateway will seriously mess up the routing table | 17:18 |
| AceFace | i have tried adding a second gateway, and both NICs fail | 17:19 |
| roasted_ | *shrug* I set up a dual NIC server at my last job... each NIC had a gateway. But that may have been a unique case because i was doing LTSP and had each NIC split from each other, aside frome xternal access | 17:19 |
| roasted_ | what if you just add the same gateway to eth1? | 17:19 |
| roasted_ | I'm not a network expert but I would think eth1 may need some more info by looking at htat config. I may be totally wrong. | 17:20 |
| AceFace | ive already tried adding the same gateway to the second nic, it fails both nics, then i have to login locally and switch it back | 17:20 |
| schnuffle | There can be only one default gateway, so the second overwrites the first | 17:20 |
| roasted_ | schnuffle, I had 2 default gateways in my server, granted each NIC ran on a different network though. | 17:20 |
| AceFace | yes, i believe schnuffle is correct | 17:20 |
| roasted_ | 10.52.17.1 and 10.52.18.1 | 17:21 |
| roasted_ | worked great | 17:21 |
| roasted_ | you're not running network manager, are you? | 17:21 |

| === ozzloy_ is now known as ozzloy | ||
| schnuffle | roasted_: My staement doesn't contratict. i wanted to say: 2 Nics both DHCP, they will both overwrite the default gateway | 17:22 |

| roasted_ | AceFace, yeah | 17:22 |
| roasted_ | AceFace, gui utility for managing networks | 17:22 |
| AceFace | no, this server is headless, i only have ssh access | 17:23 |
| roasted_ | AceFace, I've had weird network issues if network manager was trying to manage the interface when I had manual settings in the interface file. Just wanted to make sure. | 17:23 |
| M4rc3l | my keyboard doesnt work with ubuntu or any other distro when i log in all the keyboard lighs are off and backspace is spamming even though im not pressing it help | 17:23 |
| roasted_ | AceFace, I'm not sure to be honest. But if you run into a dead end here, #ubuntu-server may be of a little more help. I've also found #networking to have quite a few Linux users. | 17:23 |
| AceFace | thank you for the suggestions, i appreciate it. i wasnt aware #ubuntu-server was available to me | 17:24 |
| AceFace | thank you! | 17:24 |
| roasted_ | yep! good luck | 17:24 |
| schnuffle | AceFace: Found docs in german tough that support my thinking. Normally there's only one gateway but you can add second with iproute2 but not in /etc/network/interfaces | 17:25 |
| schnuffle | AceFace: for that you need to creat a second routing table | 17:26 |
| AceFace | im not networking savvy, but i beleive my server rack should only have one routing table | 17:27 |
| schnuffle | AceFace: When you setup both NICs but only one with a gateway, it doesn't work? | 17:28 |
| schnuffle | AceFace: Both NICs in the same network? | 17:29 |
| AceFace | correct. two NICs, eth0 has gateway, eth1 no assigned gateway | 17:29 |

| AceFace | yes of course. | 17:30 |
| AceFace | http://pastebin.com/2hQ2X1sv | 17:31 |
| schnuffle | AceFace: I think both NICs in te same network is the problem. Is there a reason why it needs to be like that? | 17:32 |
| AceFace | yes, i have services on the server, and i want redundant NICs | 17:33 |
| schnuffle | AceFace: because your setup can lead to packet loss | 17:33 |
| AceFace | i want to be able to swapp eth0 cables if i need to | 17:33 |
| AceFace | and it fail over to eth1 | 17:33 |
| schnuffle | AceFace: But then you would need more like a monitor checking for the NICS and activate the second when the first fails or use bonding | 17:34 |

| sacarlson | thedrew87: maybe | 17:59 |
| Jordan_U | fizy[laptop] Do you have backups of all of the really critical data? | 17:59 |
| fizy[laptop] | Jordan_U: not really | 17:59 |
| chigy | Nipo hewani kaka....priva | 18:00 |
| Jordan_U | fizy[laptop]: Hopefully you've learned your lesson on that now then. Do you have a drive large enough to hold a complete image of the failing drive? | 18:00 |
| sacarlson | nOStahl: that can normaly be corrected with adding nomodeset in grub kernel boot line | 18:00 |
| fizy[laptop] | Jordan_U: does it have to hold the whole drive? or just the partition? | 18:00 |
| nOStahl | I'm not seeing grub menu when it boots up | 18:00 |

| jarray52 | nOStahl: Then, look at grub_timeout | 18:02 |
| nOStahl | ok | 18:02 |
| nOStahl | let me try that | 18:02 |

| Jordan_U | t0ntin: Does the recovery mode entry do the same? | 18:15 |

| t0ntin | jordan_u, I have no recovery mode. All i see in the start-up screen is "windows" "ubuntu" | 18:16 |

| wrapids | I'm having a problem saving files remotely. I was using Eclipse and the RSE plugin over ssh to browse the directories and load the files for editing. Yesterday some files stopped updating remotely. If I restart (computer, eclipse, clear eclipse cache) it still loads the file that I saved. If I hop onto the server via terminal and cat the file the changes are not reflected in the file. I thought this was an RSE issue and switched to Subclipse and commited the | 19:00 |
| wrapids | changes through Subversion. Same problem. I scrapped Eclipse and switched to RapidSVN and am still having the same problem. I own some of the files that aren't working, some of them belong to others. It's only a few files though, I can't for the life of me figure out what the problem is. | 19:00 |

| GeekAdmin | wrapids: bummer. Can't you just use SCP in terminal for file transfer? | 19:00 |

| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 19:08 |
| Jordan_U | t0ntin: Did you install Ubuntu using Wubi? | 19:08 |
| MonkeyDust | !notunity| avoider | 19:08 |
| ubottu | avoider: 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 | 19:08 |
| t0ntin | jordan_u, yes | 19:08 |
| alinef | avoider, you want to remove the dash or change the X client? Like.. Try out gnome-shell or kde? | 19:09 |
| Jordan_U | t0ntin: That explains everything then. That menu is Windows' boot menu, not grub. | 19:09 |

| les_sylvains | any kind of advice would be appreciated | 19:33 |
| Jordan_U | fizy[laptop]: Since the GParted log states "perform read-only test 00:11:27 ( ERROR )" in the section "move file system to the left 00:11:27 ( ERROR )" I'm thinking that no move operation was actually done. If that's the case, then your filesystem is fine but the partition table is wrong. If that's true then Testdisk should be able to see where the filesystem actually starts and modify the partition table accordingly. | 19:35 |

| nishttal2 | hi I had created a software raid-0 of 4 drives using mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=0 -c256 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdg1 /dev/sdh1 /dev/sdi1 | 19:38 |
| sideone | hey ll | 19:38 |
| nishttal2 | and it worked fine.. but after a reboot its gone | 19:38 |
| nishttal2 | any ideas? | 19:38 |
| sideone | i have a 19k file full of repeating values with about 90 different values. how can i find a total of each repeated value? | 19:39 |
| sideone | sorry 19k lines | 19:39 |
| Zoohouse | sideone: you mean: "222223333311111" I have 3 repeating numbers. That? | 19:40 |
| Jordan_U | sideone: Try asking in #bash | 19:40 |
| primenumber | Hello all! | 19:40 |
| zykotick9 | sideone: non-fast/easy way would be "grep VALUE1 file.foo | wc -l" | 19:40 |
| sideone | zykotick9; yeah but i would have to insert all values into an array and loop? | 19:42 |
| zykotick9 | sideone: #bash ftw ;) | 19:42 |
| sideone | will do | 19:42 |

| guntbert | EdgEy: my best answer: throw it away :( | 19:46 |
| kman | EdgEy - I'll ask the obvious - have you tried a different flash drive? | 19:46 |
| EdgEy | kman, yes | 19:46 |
| EdgEy | and this flash drive works under Windows | 19:46 |
| shahriyarguliyev | hi there, i am new to linux, i have to install which is not included in Synaptic Package, so have to install from directly tarball. Since I don't know how to install tarballs. WHo can help? | 19:46 |
| guntbert | shahriyarguliyev: what do you want to install? | 19:47 |
| kman | EdgEy - I would not be surprised if there are some flashdrives that work with windows but would fail with a Linux box. | 19:47 |
| shahriyarguliyev | guntbert: Seamonkey browser | 19:48 |
| EdgEy | so, there is nothing I can do? hm | 19:48 |
| theadmin | shahriyarguliyev: Mozilla people have a PPA :/ | 19:48 |
| kman | EdgEy - I would find a flahs drive that I could varify worked with a different Linux box and use this as a test. | 19:48 |
| shahriyarguliyev | theadmin: what is PPA? | 19:49 |
| theadmin | !ppa | shahriyarguliyev | 19:49 |

| EdgEy | kman: I know that my system can use flash drives, I have four or five that work | 19:49 |
| EdgEy | and a few card readers and mp3 players etc, those all load as mass storage device without me needing to do anything | 19:49 |
| OerHeks | theadmin, they 'had' a ppa .. | 19:49 |
| EdgEy | this one.. well under windows it appears as a mass storage device, on Ubuntu it doesn't even come up in lsusb or similar | 19:49 |
| shahriyarguliyev | theadmin: so what I can install Seamonkey this way? | 19:49 |
| guntbert | EdgEy: one idea: do you have an usb extension cable? | 19:49 |
| theadmin | OerHeks: Oh? | 19:49 |
| theadmin | shahriyarguliyev: Their tarball is binary, just unpack it and run "seamonkey" from inside if you want to do it this way. | 19:50 |
| EdgEy | guntbert I have tried the drive with a few different cables (it has a micro usb port) | 19:50 |
| EdgEy | long and short | 19:50 |
| shahriyarguliyev | theadmin: oh I got you. but those tarballs ends with .deb. well Seamonkey's tarball ends with .tar.gz that demands special way | 19:51 |
| guntbert | EdgEy: ok, it was just an idea, that the contacts might not align properly | 19:51 |
| EdgEy | :) | 19:51 |
| theadmin | shahriyarguliyev: I just told you what to do with it -_- deb packages aren't even tarballs, they're some freaky AR constructs. | 19:51 |
| EdgEy | it is very odd, I mean, there are two ways I can 'solve' the problem | 19:51 |
| EdgEy | one is to put the micro SD in a card reader.. but it is inconvenient | 19:52 |
| EdgEy | the other is to boot into windows but that is even more so | 19:52 |
| shahriyarguliyev | theadmin: i said im new to linux. | 19:52 |
| EdgEy | means I have to carry more things with me on the go | 19:52 |
| theadmin | shahriyarguliyev: Okay, no problem, right-click the .tar.gz and choose "Extract" or whatever, go into the folder it creates, find a file called "seamonkey" and double-click it. Clear enough? :P | 19:53 |
| guntbert | EdgEy: I have never seen that behavior before - so I cannot help, sorry | 19:53 |
| EdgEy | not a problem, thanks anyway | 19:53 |

On a box, which was running Linux Mint before i wanted to install the newest LTS ubuntu, 12.04. I could not even get to the installler... and yes i was using a USB BLueRay drive to do that.. but please, in the age of netbooks... come on. The system kept crashing on me before i even got to X. And we are speaking Celeron D and Integrated Intel. 12-a-do | 19:59 |

| Jordan__ | Damn.. that didn't work either. Still hangs forever at SYSLINUX. | 20:33 |
| nikin | xubuntu5: theadmin is off. | 20:33 |
| Jordan__ | I don't think the problem is getting an OK image on a stick. I think it's with whatever happens afterward ;-; | 20:34 |
| llutz | xubuntu5: it has to be .... /media/My\040Book ... space=\040 | 20:34 |
| xubuntu5 | would have never guessed that %20 for a browser maybe but \040 thanks llutz | 20:35 |
| nikin | xubuntu5: filesystem type? | 20:35 |
| xubuntu5 | ntfs i think maybe fat32 | 20:35 |
| xubuntu5 | it's a 2TB external | 20:35 |
| terminhell | ello ello | 20:35 |
| sarsaeol | is there anyway to lock the local terminal when a vnc user logs in to a 12.04 desktop? | 20:35 |
| nikin | this is my line, for my data partition: UUID=f195b62f-424d-4e2a-a357-7e785a9bf636 /media/data ext2 defaults 0 1 | 20:35 |
| Jordan__ | So.. does anybody have suggestions? My netbook seems to refuse to use any ubuntu installer made by unetbootin lili or UUI. Always hangs at SYSLINUX | 20:36 |
| Jimu | A pox on you all for totally ignoring me | 20:36 |
| nikin | xubuntu5: i think you need to specify the filesystem for fstab | 20:36 |
| Jordan__ | I've tried formatting it as everything, exFat, FAT32, NTFS.. couldn't get anything to work. | 20:36 |
| MadsRC | Would anyone in here know anything about getting a small GUI for VBoxHeadless on a Ubuntu Server? | 20:37 |
| terminhell | Jordan__: what ya trying to do again? | 20:37 |
| nikin | xubuntu5: i do not know if still ntfs-3g what one has to use... i have to admit that i didnt mount ntfs for nearly 4 years now :) | 20:37 |
| Jordan__ | Just install ubuntu on a new netbook. It's got windows, no cd drive, and seems to be allergix to linux. | 20:38 |
| man | can some one tell me how to address 1 gega to my cpu | 20:38 |
| Jordan_U | Jordan__: I would recommend trying to use grub instead of syslinux. | 20:38 |
| Jordan__ | Hm, how would I go about doing that? I don't have access to a linux system atm, just my windows 7 install | 20:38 |
| xubuntu5 | heh thanks for your help nikin | 20:39 |
| freedomrun_ | hello. does anyone here have any clue of service named "jetty" ? and as I read it is http server .. my question is; "Is that neccessary to having it running all the time on a small laptop?" | 20:39 |
| terminhell | Jordan__: use the buntu live disk again, and simply run grub install | 20:39 |
| azertyu | it says command not found for fsck.exfat nik | 20:39 |
| azertyu | it says command not found for fsck.exfat nikin | 20:39 |
| Jordan__ | There is no live disk, I'm trying to install off of USB | 20:40 |
| terminhell | same thing... | 20:40 |
| Jordan__ | and it never even makes it past the first screen. SYSLINUX Blah blah Dude et all... blinky cursor. | 20:40 |
| terminhell | AH | 20:40 |
| terminhell | keep trying | 20:40 |
| terminhell | did you use unetbootin? | 20:40 |
| Jordan__ | Tried LiLi, Unetbootin, and UUI | 20:40 |
| Shojo | Jordan__: try pressing the Tab key, then typing "live" | 20:40 |
| Jordan__ | Nothing | 20:40 |
| umbunduh | How to change the 3D acceleration llvmpipe for hardware acceleration? | 20:41 |
| juan_ | freedomrun_: jetty is a small java web container used to run java apps, dont think you need to have it running all the time unless some app needs it. | 20:41 |
| Shojo | how did you create this USB? | 20:41 |
| Jordan__ | That was to you btw, Shojo, didn't do anything | 20:41 |
| Shojo | i know | 20:41 |
| terminhell | to bad windows doesnt have dd, but w/e. Unetbootin can mess up time to time, try redoing it. Sometimes you may have to reboot and rety booting from the usb a few times for it to 'catch' | 20:41 |
| Jordan__ | I used UUI for this one, I let it format my key and installed my ubuntu 12.04 ISO that I just got. | 20:41 |
| Jordan__ | I've even tried downloading it over again, it's not a corrupt ISO | 20:41 |
| man | aaa7aaaa i use backtrack 4 o usb | 20:41 |
| Jordan__ | I've tried formatting it as every different filesystem my windows 7 install can use, I've tried quick and long format. | 20:42 |
| Shojo | Jordan__: are you intalling in dual boot with Windows? | 20:42 |
| Jordan__ | I mean obviously I tried FAT32 and all the different USB makers first, but then I got desperate | 20:42 |
| terminhell | live usb environments are sometimes glitchy, just keep trying to boot it | 20:42 |
| Jordan__ | Well, I'm trying to overwrite the "new" windows install on my netbook | 20:42 |
| Jordan__ | no dualbooting | 20:42 |
| azertyu | well this is what i got as error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1031035/ when i try to fsck.exfat | 20:42 |
| freedomrun_ | thnx juan_ | 20:43 |
| azertyu | what i have to do ? | 20:43 |
| juan_ | freedomrun_: np man! :) | 20:43 |
| lauratika | i want to stop some process from running at start like bluetooth and other appl i dont use,how can i do this | 20:43 |

| lilred_ | hey guys, stock Ubuntu 12.04 here, YouTube videos work intermittently - as in, they stop and resume constantly, once or twice per second. | 20:43 |
| Shojo | Jordan__: are you on windows right now on your notebook , or using another computer? | 20:43 |
| terminhell | doesnt daemon tools have an option to image usb drives? | 20:43 |
| === lilred_ is now known as lilred | ||
| azertyu | anyoen ? | 20:44 |
| Jordan__ | Using my main pc, starting in sadness at my new netbook. | 20:44 |
| xangua | lilred: sounds like youtube server sucks most of the time | 20:44 |
| Jordan__ | staring* | 20:44 |
| Shojo | aw, lol | 20:44 |
| xangua | at least for me it has been like that for days | 20:44 |
| lilred | xangua: not a server issue, it's been like that back when I was on 11.10 | 20:44 |
| Jordan__ | I bought it to be a tiny code workhorse that I could port around, so naturally linux was my choice | 20:44 |
| man | there is a tool on debian site for creating every thing on usb | 20:44 |
| lilred | xangua: YouTube is failing on me 100% of the time :| | 20:44 |
| terminhell | Jordan__: relax man, we'll figure this out | 20:44 |
| Agent_Orange | man, i read you every day :3 | 20:44 |
| Jordan__ | ;-; | 20:44 |
| Jordan__ | I don't have one of those keys that puts a special partition on it either, because I've used this to install linux distros before, ubuntu included | 20:45 |
| Jordan_U | Jordan__: Do you have any machine that you can boot GNU/Linux from (even from a LiveCD/USB)? | 20:45 |
| terminhell | Jordan__: this may sound silly, but try putting the usb in another port | 20:45 |
| Jordan__ | term: tried it. No luck, tried all four ports. hahaha | 20:45 |
| Shojo | Jordan__: with USB keys you need to make them bootable . if you have windows on your notebook i can help you set it up like that. You need syslinux | 20:46 |
| Jordan__ | Hmm.. yeah I could boot off my main PC with a live key | 20:46 |
| terminhell | does the usb have the 'boot' flag enabled? | 20:46 |
| man | yooooh i have many | 20:46 |
| Jordan__ | I dunno, do the USB installers do that automatically? I didn't know USB keys had a boot flag, or where that flag is. | 20:46 |
| Jordan_U | Jordan__: Then you can use that machine to install grub to the flash drive. | 20:46 |
| twig11 | I just upgraded the integrated Intel graphics on a Dell Optiplex GX520 to an ATI Radeon 7000 card I had lying around. From what I read I should be able to get 3d graphics in ubuntu with that but it's falling back to unity2D every time. I've been searching this problem for awhile without any luck, and I could really use a helping hand on troubleshooting. | 20:47 |
| Shojo | Jordan__: it's just a setting | 20:47 |
| xangua | twig11: did you install ati drivers¿ | 20:47 |
| man | how to address 1 gega memory to my cpu ? howw | 20:47 |
| twig11 | xangua: I just installed fglrx | 20:47 |
| terminhell | but if you've properly imaged the usb with a non corrupt image you shouldnt need the boot flag in most cases. If you use something like unetbootin ive found that the boot flag usually needs to be applied | 20:48 |
| auronandace | twig11: 7000? that sounds a little old | 20:48 |
| Shojo | Jordan__: to set the boot flag you go in Wondows Command prompt and run a few commands | 20:48 |
| Jordan__ | Ah, cool. I'll look it up and try that before I pull out any more hair | 20:48 |
| Jordan__ | :) | 20:48 |
| Shojo | lol | 20:48 |
| Shojo | i'll pm ya | 20:48 |
| Jordan_U | Jordan__: Since you're getting to thhe point that you see a message from syslinux, the problem is not a missing boot flag. | 20:49 |
| SYSGEEK | I'm getting sick of this. Any OS that calls "Microsoft Having 90% of the Market Share" a freaking BUG is obviously a stuck-up system made with a massive ego. There's a REASON why people use Windows. And people wonder why people don't take LinSux seriously! | 20:49 |
| terminhell | *agrees with Jordan_U | 20:49 |

| Jordan__ | "Gee linux is taking... an hour to begin installing" | 20:50 |
| terminhell | when ive gotten the syslinux error, ive found that simply rebooting a few times will allow it to bootstrap properly | 20:50 |

| Jordan__ | I want me some linuxy goodness | 20:50 |
| auronandace | twig11: oh, i was thinking really old (before amd took over ati) | 20:51 |

| D[4]ni | eww, this is getting annoying | 20:54 |
| D[4]ni | i put 3 commands into my startup programs, and after i close the window, at least one of them is gone | 20:54 |
| gnomeclassic | lenovo supports ubuntu? | 20:54 |
| lenovo | yes | 20:55 |
| D[4]ni | close and re-open, of course | 20:55 |
| gnomeclassic | nice | 20:55 |
| lenovo | not yet version ed | 20:55 |
| SYSGEEK | Should I boot into Recovery Console after I format my HD with NTFS or before it parses the setup INI? | 20:55 |
| LjL | SYSGEEK: this is Ubuntu support. give this stuff a break. | 20:56 |
| D[4]ni | why can't i properly add startup commands without them just disappearing? | 20:56 |
| rsumi | has anyone got wine working successfully on ubuntu 12.04 64bit? last i checked there were still problems with getting libraries working | 20:56 |
| lenovo | i needed chinese simplified but somewhere complicated also kformula download got no to use | 20:56 |
| SYSGEEK | Is Terminal similar to DOS? Does CHKDSK work? | 20:57 |

| jennie | Is there any button /shortcut in ubuntu 1204 to 'show desktop' like there is one in windows ? | 20:57 |
| ubottu | SYSGEEK, please see my private message | 20:57 |
| auronandace | !fsck | SYSGEEK | 20:57 |
| ubottu | SYSGEEK: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 20:57 |
| D[4]ni | terminhell: nah, let me explain | 20:57 |
| xangua | jennie: Control+Windows+D | 20:57 |
| D[4]ni | so i add 3 commands to the startup programs list, close the window, and re-open it | 20:58 |
| jennie | thanks a lot xangua | 20:58 |
| xangua | jennie: you can see the desktop shorcuts by keeping the Windows/Super key pressed | 20:58 |
| D[4]ni | one (just one!) of them is gone | 20:58 |
| auronandace | rsumi: that's rather generic, wine works fine for me | 20:58 |
| gnomeclassic | wow xangua is here | 20:58 |
| D[4]ni | so i re-add it, close the window, and re-open it | 20:58 |
| D[4]ni | another one is gone now. | 20:58 |
| gnomeclassic | hi xangua xD | 20:58 |
| jennie | many many thanks | 20:58 |
| gnomeclassic | i'm gosset | 20:58 |
| SYSGEEK | Could I set up an OS/2 Warp 3 dual-boot config with it? | 20:58 |
| terminhell | D[4]ni: Um, hmmm | 20:59 |
| D[4]ni | possible problem: the commands all start the same. well, they are all the same executable, different parameters. | 21:00 |
| terminhell | D[4]ni: what are you trying to put in startup? | 21:00 |
| lenovo | √∫2 not kformula | 21:00 |
| D[4]ni | /usr/bin/udisks --mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/[three different uuids here] | 21:01 |
| hunter_ | nnn | 21:02 |
| terminhell | D[4]ni: why not just bash script it to have them all done in a single script? then you'd only have 1 command to run in startup? | 21:03 |
| D[4]ni | well, makes sense | 21:03 |

| mahamoti | newb question: suppose i download a package like 'sudo apt-get install libicu-dev'. how can I know what the name of the library is to use with g++ ? | 21:10 |
| Jordan_U | t0ntin: If you don't want to burn another CD to do that you can use the handy loop booting option I put on the CD instead (you'll just need to create a directory C:\boot-isos\ in Windows and copy an Ubuntu iso there. | 21:10 |
| t0ntin | jordan_u, i have a copy of ubuntu on a DVD. Is that a liveCD? | 21:11 |
| t0ntin | it's something i downloaded from the same page where the Wubi is offered | 21:11 |
| ratcheer | t0ntin: Probably, but not necessarily. | 21:12 |
| Jordan_U | t0ntin: That is a LiveCD, let me make sure that it will work for this purpose though (specifically I need to check that the Ubuntu devs included a loopback.cfg in their DVD isos the same way they do for their CD isos). | 21:12 |
| damms005 | Pls how can I know the exact block that represent a byte or kb for the -size in 'find' command | 21:12 |
| t0ntin | ok | 21:12 |
| Jordan_U | t0ntin: Ubuntu 12.04? | 21:12 |
| t0ntin | yes | 21:12 |

| Jordan_U | t0ntin: Yes, the 12.04 DVD image should work. | 21:15 |
| t0ntin | Jordan_U, OK, so just follow the instructions in the boot info script page? | 21:15 |

| Plizzo | Although, I seem to have downgraded my kernel to a generic 32-bit one, and now I can't manage to install the 64-bit linux-image-server one. It's installed and all, but I can't choose it as my default kernel anywhere | 21:32 |

| Plizzo | genii-around: In rTorrent they display fine, but in the web UI they do not | 21:42 |
| Jordan_U | Plizzo: No, the only time when 32 bit vs 64 bit comes into play with file sizes is when files are mmap'd, and applications will very rarely try to mmap a file over 3 GiB. | 21:43 |

| InferiorHuman | escott, how do I make my private key on linux? | 22:48 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, so I can import it in to putty gen | 22:48 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, in that case your private key is not ascii armored. Ascii armored is the preferred format for use on linux by linux command line ssh. putty on windows may use its own format so the fact that its not ascii armored doesn't necessarily mean anything | 22:49 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: use puttygen on the windows box to gen and save keys. make sure to export your public key, find public key and copy contents to .ssh/authorized_keys on remote server. fire up putty, config to use key. login | 22:49 |
| Mr_Rndm | sup everybody | 22:49 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, ssh-keygen is the linux tool to generate keys | 22:49 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, done that doesn't work | 22:50 |
| sardinha | ola | 22:50 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: you problebly aren't leaving your keys in the default palce on windows, or you're not pasting the right format key | 22:50 |
| InferiorHuman | see idk what that means | 22:51 |
| ceege | just make sure you use the *ppk file when you set up the connection, or use putty-agent and add the ppk key to the agent | 22:52 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: puttygen has little spot in the window when you create your key that says copy and paste this to the linux box into .ssh/authorized_keys | 22:52 |
| feodor | #juanacatlan | 22:52 |
| InferiorHuman | if i use ssh-keygen on linux is id_rsa my private key and id_rsa.pub is my public? | 22:52 |
| feodor | #juanacatlan hola | 22:52 |
| ceege | and are you adding the contents of the ppk file to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the other side? and setting the right permissions on those files? | 22:53 |
| LittleBallOfHate | the .ppk file is the private key | 22:53 |
| LittleBallOfHate | wouldn't work if he pasted that | 22:53 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, yes if you use ssh-keygen on linux id_rsa is the private and id_rsa.pub is the public. you might try "cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys" and then "ssh localhost" just to see if authkeys is working linux->linux which might isolate if there is an issue using putty | 22:54 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, ok I did that ssh localhost still asked me for a pass... | 22:55 |

| escott | InferiorHuman, if you want to block subnets you can see that in the above posting | 23:03 |
| === TheGodCock is now known as whoeverkickedmei | ||

| InferiorHuman | escott, so I add something like this to my authorized keys file on linux? from="10.20.30.*,172.16.31.*,192.168.1.*" | 23:05 |
| === isafaggot is now known as TheGodCock | ||
| InferiorHuman | with only my local IP range? | 23:05 |
| falstaph | problem getting broadcom wifi to run with ubuntu 12.04 I have the drivers but how do install them? | 23:05 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, yes | 23:05 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, so from="10.10.10.*" | 23:05 |
| InferiorHuman | ? | 23:05 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, you can do lots of fun stuff with auth keys like allow ssh access with an authkey but only for a specific application | 23:05 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, if that is your subnet yes | 23:06 |
| InferiorHuman | by subnet you mean the ip's of my local stuff? | 23:06 |
| InferiorHuman | yea my fios modem is 10.10.10.1 my dd-wrt router in switch mode is 10.10.10.2 and so on | 23:06 |
| asus1025c | does anyone here own an Atom N2600 or N2800 based netbook and using its hdmi port under gnu/linux? | 23:07 |
| LordDeath | http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTExNjQ <-- is this performance difference caused by GCC? | 23:07 |
| TheGodCock | i have a acer one | 23:08 |
| falstaph | setting wifi I have the drivers how do I install them | 23:08 |
| t0ntin | Jordan_U, i'm back. Could you tell me what I'm supposed to choose here to install ubuntu alongside windows? https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/5d-YYHFK9e8Ph2v3reZTvdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink | 23:08 |
| === zz_Htbrdd is now known as Htbrdd | ||
| TheGodCock | atom n270 i think | 23:08 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, yes. you may also want to disable password login, so that nobody tries to brute force the password | 23:08 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, hrm. this is just my personal storage server / hooked up to my amplifier | 23:09 |
| Jordan_U | t0ntin: Jordan__: I'm not going to be availabe for about an hour. | 23:09 |
| InferiorHuman | idk if thats an issue of anyone brute forcing | 23:09 |
| InferiorHuman | nothing worth having ;-) | 23:09 |
| t0ntin | jordan_u, ok, thanks | 23:09 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, but if you dont have port forwarding from the modem/router to the server it doesnt really matter because they cant open the port | 23:09 |
| InferiorHuman | escott, I do have port-forwrding but not for the ssh port is this ok? | 23:10 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: yes | 23:10 |
| Relondo | Does Ubuntu have a function that warns you when your hardware is overheating, like Mac and Windows? | 23:10 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin, you can just do automatic install instead of doing it manually | 23:10 |
| InferiorHuman | looks like im good to go i added the subnet restriction to the public key file. | 23:10 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, then nobody from the wider internet can reach your ssh server | 23:10 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: that's why I said you were good before. | 23:10 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, so the subnet restriction doesnt really matter | 23:10 |
| InferiorHuman | thats ok i'll let it stand anyway | 23:10 |
| InferiorHuman | since i have no need to login to my box from the 'net anyway | 23:10 |
| InferiorHuman | its a good idea as a backup pla | 23:11 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: if you dont have any files in sda5 and sda4 just merge it to your sda2, | 23:11 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: I use my box as a nas and router | 23:11 |
| escott | InferiorHuman, although if they switch you ipv6 then you might not have a NAT and its back to being useful | 23:11 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, how do i do that? | 23:11 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: then go back and do automatic, so you odnt have to pick a partition, the installer will do that for you | 23:11 |
| falstaph | I saw an applet that would monitor the heat sensors and warn of overheating. | 23:11 |
| === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris | ||
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: get rid of that dd-wrt box and use the ubuntu box | 23:11 |
| InferiorHuman | all I do is folding @ home etc with my linux machine | 23:11 |
| InferiorHuman | usually | 23:11 |
| Chuck_Norris | aloha all :D | 23:11 |
| Bulletrulz | help | 23:12 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, I don't remember seeing automatic anywhere | 23:12 |
| Chuck_Norris | *sounds of wind* | 23:12 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: do you have any files in sda5 and sda4 ? | 23:12 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, my dd-wrt is an N router it provides my wifi with 150 mw of power ;-) | 23:12 |
| Bulletrulz | how to install ubuntu 10.04 32 bit with wubi | 23:12 |
| InferiorHuman | very strong signal. | 23:12 |
| Relondo | Also, can anyone recommend AV software for Ubuntu? I mean, I know Linux doesn't have much of that, but I figure better safe than sorry. | 23:12 |
| Relondo | *much need of that | 23:12 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, i actually don't remember if i have files in those. I know one or two are used by Dell somehow | 23:12 |
| Chuck_Norris | Relondo: Pinguins Pill | 23:12 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: I use a dd-wrt box in wap mode, no routing, just an access point and switch. | 23:12 |
| ceege | hdparm can get hard drives temps from some hard drives, Relondo | 23:12 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: before you get to that window, you should see a few options like Install Ubuntu Alongside windows, and other stuff | 23:12 |
| Chuck_Norris | Relondo: http://penguinpills.sourceforge.net/ | 23:13 |
| Pinkamena_D | hello, i am trying to find a way to make my network bridge work correctly at startup | 23:13 |
| boldfilter | When will we get native mtp support | 23:13 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: you might have click advance options or something where you edit partition manually | 23:13 |
| Relondo | Ceege: So there's nothing built-in, then? | 23:13 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, how do you put it in wap mode? I have my isp modem in a lan port and all my computers in a lan port DHCP from modem to get IP's so i'm not double nat for gaming. | 23:13 |
| eagle_eye | Relondo: you don't need an AV for Ubuntu | 23:13 |
| Relondo | Chuck_Norris: Thanks, I'll give it a look. | 23:14 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, It asked me if I wanted to connect to the internet, and then something else that I can't remember, and then it showed me that partition screen | 23:14 |
| Relondo | eagle_eye: I just like to be careful. | 23:14 |
| jrdn | Relondo, clamav | 23:14 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: my isp's router lets me assign my public ip to the linux box | 23:14 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, I have the WAN turned off on the dd-wrt also | 23:14 |
| Pinkamena_D | i have two internet modems , one goes direct to server for torrents or large downloads, the other goes to a network bridge on the server. something is wrong with ubuntus "primary interface". | 23:14 |
| Bulletrulz | but i t wont install with the wubi it keeps trying to download 64 bit | 23:14 |
| Relondo | jrdn: Thanks, I'll look at that, too. | 23:14 |
| Chuck_Norris | oh! sry, penguin pills is usefull in case you wanna scan flash drives or external disk or windows partitions | 23:14 |
| Bulletrulz | HELP | 23:14 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, what feature is that called? | 23:14 |
| boldfilter | Native mtp support? | 23:15 |
| Chuck_Norris | is not for real time | 23:15 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: bridge mode maybe? | 23:15 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: on the isp router | 23:15 |
| Pinkamena_D | i can get the bridged connection to connect to the internet by 1)unplugging other connection 2) runningip route add default via 192.168.3.1 3) plug the cable back in | 23:15 |
| Pinkamena_D | in that order | 23:15 |
| juaroj8_ | hola necesito una ayuda con un servidor de ubuntu 12.04 | 23:15 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, yea im not sure how to do that | 23:15 |
| Bulletrulz | HELP!!!!! | 23:16 |
| Pinkamena_D | why would i need to do this / how do i change the "primary interface" by default | 23:16 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, I followed a guide to set mine up the way it is. | 23:16 |
| ceege | lm-sensors might be what you want then Relondo - are there are gadgets for the desktop if that's what you mean | 23:16 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: what kind of router is it? | 23:16 |
| IdleOne | !es | juaroj8_ | 23:16 |
| ubottu | juaroj8_: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 23:16 |
| Chuck_Norris | Relondo: idk, but... if you have a "really" good PC you may try avg or avast or maby nod for linux, but it's not necesary | 23:16 |
| Relondo | Chuck_Norris: Why do I need a high-end PC for Avast? That's already what I use on my Windows 7 partition. | 23:16 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, its some piece of crap sort-of actiontec rev e comes with the FIOS internet from verizon, its a fiber optic modem (receives from coax) | 23:16 |
| Chuck_Norris | and for me, not recommended... Chuck Norris doesn't aprove AV on Linux | 23:17 |
| ceege | yeah, sensors-applet does HD temps and fan speeds | 23:17 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: ah, my girl has fios, haven't looked at their setup | 23:17 |
| asus1025c | does anyone here own an Atom N2600 or N2800 based netbook and using its hdmi port under gnu/linux? | 23:17 |
| asus1025c | My netbook is Asus EEEPC 1025C which features Intel GMA3650 graphics which are NOT supported by Intel and, I believe, there is a VERY experimental support even running linux 3.4.1 | 23:17 |
| Relondo | Ceege: No, what I'm talking about is in Windows and Mac, depending on the model, your OS can alert you to when your hardware is about to kill itself. | 23:17 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: did you create sda4, sda5 ? | 23:17 |
| captainalvy | hey | 23:17 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, right now my setup is, isp-modem-router (10.10.10.1) dd-wrt (10.10.10.2) my pc's get dhcp address from isp modem like 10.10.10.3+ | 23:17 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, yea they just installed this fios for me today | 23:18 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, i created one or two of those at one point, yes, but i don't know which ones can be deleted | 23:18 |
| ceege | lm-sensors is an alarm system | 23:18 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: you'd also need two interfaces on the linux box. | 23:18 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, i didn't create them today | 23:18 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: actually there's a way to do it with one but it's messy | 23:18 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: you said it might be windows who created partition sda4 sda5? ok ok, you need to find out if there's any file on them before you can remove them | 23:18 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, oh I only have 1 ethernet card on my linux 1 on my windows 7 | 23:18 |
| Chuck_Norris | Relondo: becouse, i try Nod years ago (when i was a noob) in realtime but consumed a lot o resources and i just uninstalled it | 23:18 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: go to Ubuntu Live preview whatever tha'ts called, lets you boot to ubuntu desktop live | 23:19 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, windows does not recognize them. I only see drive C: in windows | 23:19 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: your can get supported ethernet cards for $20 | 23:19 |
| raevol | anyone know the command to restart the unity window decorator? | 23:19 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, this setup I have works fine and i'm getting the advertised speeds using the dd-wrt to serve wifi does that sound good or is it stupid and I should just use the modem-router from verizon ? | 23:19 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: do what makes you happy and is secure | 23:19 |
| Relondo | Chuck_Norris: Is it really that much of a non-issue? I mean, surely SOMEONE out there is building viruses for Linux. | 23:19 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, I think this is working cause my dd-wrt doesn't do the NAT the isp modem does and I don't get double NAT so I can still play on xbox live. so I think this setup will work just fine. | 23:20 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, btw dd-wrt is a tiny linux for routers if you didn't know | 23:20 |
| eagle_eye | Relondo: Yes it is a non-issue | 23:20 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, you mean the ubuntu web site? | 23:20 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: yeah, the way i have it with the modem assigning it's public address to the linux box doesn't lead to double nat | 23:21 |
| InferiorHuman | eagle_eye, thats what MAC users thought then WHAM alot of em had that virus/malware recentl | 23:21 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: go and reboot | 23:21 |
| eagle_eye | InferiorHuman: Mac is not Linux...:)) | 23:22 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, so you have ur modem in bridge mode, is there a webpage I can look at to see how your stuff is setup? im curious | 23:22 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: one sec | 23:22 |
| Relondo | Chuck_Norris: Well, I think that I can definitely afford to run AV, RAM-wise, especially on Ubuntu. | 23:22 |
| InferiorHuman | eagle_eye, aren't they both unix based so pretty similar or no? | 23:22 |
| raevol | command to restart unity window decorator was gtk-window-decorator --replace, in case anyone is reading this in logs | 23:22 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, i gotta know what to do because i'm installing ubuntu on this computer | 23:22 |
| eagle_eye | InferiorHuman:Mac isn"t open source...is it? | 23:22 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: you're installing ubuntu 12.04 ? go and reboot then pick Try Ubuntu | 23:23 |
| InferiorHuman | eagle_eye, no | 23:23 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=fios+modem+bridge+mode | 23:23 |
| InferiorHuman | eagle_eye, but wouldn't it be easier to build a virus for something that IS open source im not an expert | 23:23 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, got it, what do i do after that? | 23:23 |
| Relondo | eagle_eye: Nope. And it seems to me that Ubuntu, being open-source, would be very easy for a ne'er-do-well to exploit :/ | 23:23 |
| === jrdn is now known as jrd | ||
| eagle_eye | InferiorHuman: Bingo! | 23:23 |
| unkn-error | what is the difference bweteen linux image and linux headers? | 23:24 |
| LittleBallOfHate | unkn-error: image is the kernel itself | 23:24 |
| LittleBallOfHate | unkn-error: headers are the files that are needed to build some software | 23:24 |
| eagle_eye | Relondo: then it sems you don't understand open source yet... | 23:24 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: you'll open up a file manager (folder) then look for the 2 partitions, you'll click the icons so it mounts it then find out if there's any file in them | 23:24 |
| eagle_eye | seems* | 23:24 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, LMAO let me google that for you | 23:25 |
| InferiorHuman | hahaha | 23:25 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: :D | 23:25 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: 3rd icon to the left called Home Folder | 23:25 |
| unkn-error | If I need some real time / low latecy apps, then linux headers will be enough or should I install also the real time image? | 23:25 |
| LittleBallOfHate | unkn-error: image | 23:25 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, but what does bridging do for me i am not sure ? | 23:25 |
| unkn-error | thx | 23:25 |
| srand | how do you install flash on ubuntu x64 ? | 23:25 |
| Relondo | eagle_eye: I was just thinking that, if the source code is available, any weaknesses would be well known to a hacker. Seriously, though, please explain why I'm wrong. | 23:25 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, im better than most people w networking but not an expert | 23:26 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: allows you to run a webserver, ssh server, build your own firewall and nat device, all kinds of things | 23:26 |
| Chuck_Norris | srand: download flash 64 from Adobe | 23:26 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: if you use the linux box as a router | 23:26 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: you just need to find out if there's any files on those 2 partition, if not then you can safely delete them to merge with windows, sda4 and sda5 | 23:26 |
| Chuck_Norris | sry srand do: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 23:27 |
| ceege | you don't need bridging unless you are going to run virtual machines that need to bridge through your real adapter to the network | 23:27 |
| jrib | Relondo: yep, windows being closed source surely never gets exploited :) | 23:27 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: i also have VPN services setup on mine so my phone surfs as if I was at the house rather than from at&t's network | 23:27 |
| eagle_eye | Relondo: gnu linux is built by hackers, improved by hackers, documented by hackers, BELongs To hackers! | 23:27 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, ok, i'll see if i can do it | 23:28 |
| zykotick9 | Chuck_Norris: i don't think flashplugin-installer will install 64bit, i think you need some adobe package from partner repo instead. srand | 23:28 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, http://www.dslreports.com/faq/12506 that is how my network is setup ATM | 23:28 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: I can also use ssh or vpn to get from work to my boxes at home | 23:28 |
| srand | yeah i does not work for 64 bit, I've tried some guides but without succes | 23:28 |
| Chuck_Norris | zykotick9: let try if not, so from Adobe | 23:28 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: when you reboot it takes you to the screen where it ask you to Try Ubuntu or Install, click install. After that 3 options: Erase everything, Install alongside Windows, Something else. You wanna pick Install Alongside Windows. Something else will take you to the partion screen where you have to specify stuff manually | 23:28 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, i only have two options: erase everything and something else | 23:29 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: Install alongside ubuntu, after that you move a slider where you can choose the size for your ubuntu partition, after that its pretty much automatic the installer will so stuff for you. | 23:29 |

| Chuck_Norris | eagle_eye: biggest hacker ever: http://i.imgur.com/5XAdO.jpg | 23:29 |
| Eszett | how do I create a desktop shortcut in unity | 23:29 |
| Relondo | eagle_eye: True. | 23:29 |
| Eszett | there's no create launcher option for me | 23:29 |
| Eszett | and a symlink is undesirable | 23:30 |
| zybaldo | hey, can you guys help me to hack an msn account? | 23:30 |
| Eszett | zybaldo: OK | 23:30 |
| Eszett | 1) you can't ask here, that's illegal | 23:30 |
| Eszett | 2) you can't just "hack" an msn account | 23:30 |
| LittleBallOfHate | somebody ban zybaldo | 23:30 |
| Chuck_Norris | Eszett: gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop/ --create-new | 23:30 |
| Relondo | zybaldo: Yeah, sure, we'll all be party to your felony 0.0 | 23:30 |
| Eszett | you can only hope to guess the password | 23:30 |
| eagle_eye | Chuck_Norris: who's that? | 23:30 |
| Eszett | LittleBallOfHate: he's ignorant, don't ban him yet | 23:30 |
| Eszett | newbies can learn | 23:30 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: hmm, idk why its not detecting windows as it should have. What kind of ubuntu installer are you using? | 23:30 |
| Eszett | Chuck_Norris: thanks | 23:30 |
| Chuck_Norris | Eszett: np | 23:31 |
| zybaldo | sorry | 23:31 |
| Chuck_Norris | eagle_eye: i told ya, biggest hacker ever | 23:31 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, i burned an iso image onto a DVD. I got it from the ubuntu.com site | 23:31 |
| Eszett | zybaldo: I mean, the only way you could "hack" one is guess a password/password recovery question | 23:31 |
| eagle_eye | Chuck_Norris: really...lol! | 23:31 |
| Eszett | so basically, unless you know them very well or keylog their machine, you can't | 23:32 |
| Chuck_Norris | nope, i'm joking :D | 23:32 |
| ceege | and by 'biggest' he means 'fattest' | 23:32 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, yea im not seeing how to set this to bridged mode yet | 23:32 |
| Eszett | if you could just "hack" accounts, then computers would not be in common use | 23:32 |
| eagle_eye | :)) | 23:32 |
| Eszett | since then the bad guys would just hack us gov all the time | 23:32 |
| Lunar_Lander | hi, just got a flashplayer-installer update and then it said after running the updates "downloading additional files failed" and then something about me having to remove the package first before reinstalling it and that the package is now unusable, what exactly does that mean? (that is on 12.04 LTS) | 23:33 |
| falstaph | I need some help with my wifi card setup | 23:33 |
| dontknow | i installed flash through "ubuntu restricted extras". flash is now 11.3, will it update flash? | 23:33 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, before trying to do this, I was posting here that when I install ubuntu using the wubi, the system restarts as soon as I choose ubuntu when I start the computer. | 23:33 |
| Lunar_Lander | yeah I got the restricted extras as well | 23:33 |
| LittleBallOfHate | falstaph: what's the issue? | 23:33 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: did you find out if you can safely remove sda4 sda5 partitions? if you're in 64 bit I think you can make more than 4 partitions | 23:33 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, i'm working on it | 23:34 |
| OerHeks | dontknow, 11.3 ? just got update 11.2.202.236ubuntu0.12.04.1 | 23:34 |
| Relondo | Can Ubuntu not play MP3's? | 23:34 |
| Eszett | Chuck_Norris: oh I see, that opens a create launcher window. Thank you again :D | 23:34 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: restricted extras | 23:35 |
| Chuck_Norris | Eszett: np again :D | 23:35 |
| cleaninstall | without the extra packages it cant play mp3's , so get the restricted extra's | 23:35 |
| falstaph | I have downloaded the drivers for my broadcom card ... I have 43-fwcutter but I can't get everything to work | 23:35 |
| dontknow | OerHeks, how did you install flash? with restricted extras? | 23:35 |
| Lunar_Lander | OerHeks, I got the same version number as you | 23:35 |
| Relondo | LittleBallOfHate: What does that mean? | 23:35 |
| Chuck_Norris | Eszett: i tell ya a tip, give me a couple of seconds =P | 23:35 |
| Eszett | Now I'll use that to create a launcher to create a launcher | 23:35 |
| Eszett | :P | 23:35 |
| LittleBallOfHate | falstaph: why do you need drivers from broadcom and not ones in the kernel already? | 23:35 |
| eagle_eye | falstaph: lspci -v | grep ethernet | 23:36 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: enable restricted extras in your sources.list and then apt-get update | 23:36 |
| OerHeks | dontknow, yes, so i get updates too ( answer to your 2nd Q) | 23:36 |
| eagle_eye | falstaph: lspci -v | grep Ethernet | 23:36 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: you'll have to google what packages to install | 23:36 |
| Relondo | LittleBallOfHate: I'm gonna need you to walk me through that. | 23:36 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 23:37 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: all the way at the bottom are two lines to uncomment | 23:37 |
| Relondo | LittleBallOfHate: How do I get to the command line, again? | 23:37 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: terminal | 23:37 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: or ctrl-alt-f1 | 23:37 |

| eagle_eye | Relondo: ctrl alt T | 23:37 |
| Relondo | Thanks | 23:38 |
| OerHeks | falstaph, sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer ( and reboot) | 23:38 |
| Relondo | LittleBallOfHate: So how do I enable these restricted extras? | 23:39 |
| Chuck_Norris | Eszett: is not a tip but... if you see a rocket and you wanna to change that just in "icon=..." write the path where is your icon that you wanna to see insead of the rocket, and... .ico is a good format for icons | 23:39 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 23:39 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: all the way at the bottom are two lines to uncomment | 23:39 |
| Relondo | LittleBallOfHate: I don't know what that means. | 23:39 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: type that top command | 23:39 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: you're editing a config file | 23:40 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, i'm seeing now what there are files in those partitions. One of them is used by Dell (Dell MediaDirect) | 23:40 |
| Eszett | Chuck_Norris: you mean use text editor? | 23:40 |
| Relondo | LittleBallOfHate: I entered that command. But what do you mean by uncomment? | 23:40 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, found a guide to bridge modem isp to my router, gonna try it thanks. | 23:40 |
| Chuck_Norris | ye, to edit "launcher.desktop" | 23:40 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, does this make me double nat or no? | 23:40 |
| eagle_eye | Relondo: edit the sources.list file in the /etc/apt folder and uncomment the last two lines | 23:41 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: there are two lines, one starts with "deb" the other starts with "deb-src" there's a section of text above them that talks about restricted extras | 23:41 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: what's your pc spec? | 23:41 |
| Lunar_Lander | damn, Firefox 13 now suddenly crashes on facebook | 23:41 |
| Lunar_Lander | any idea why? | 23:41 |
| CQN | hi, does anyone know the right video output in smplayer for h.264 hardware decoding? i've got it set to "nv17 video texture" right now, but some online say it should be "vdpau" (an option i don't see available by default) | 23:41 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: i would NOT turn that on unless you have the dd-wrt inbetween your modem and pcs | 23:41 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: are you on 32bit x86 or 64 bit? how much ram do you have? | 23:42 |
| Relondo | LittleBallOfHate: I got six lines, and they all start with "deb". | 23:42 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, core 2 duo, 3gb RAM, 250 GB HD | 23:42 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, I do, will bridging the modem router make the dd-wrt handle the internet etc? im a bit confused | 23:42 |

| ubottu | Lunar_Lander: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 23:42 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: well "#deb" and "#deb-src" | 23:42 |
| Lunar_Lander | eagle_eye, this is on ubuntu | 23:42 |
| LittleBallOfHate | InferiorHuman: yes, exactly | 23:42 |
| InferiorHuman | LittleBallOfHate, ok cool. gonna go try it | 23:43 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: see if you can make another partition | 23:43 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, how big? | 23:43 |
| Relondo | LittleBallOfHate: You'll have to excuse me; I'm extremely new to Linux, and I really just don't know what you're trying to tell me. | 23:43 |
| Chuck_Norris | CQN: mplayer -fs -aspect 16:9 -vo gl2 /path/to/video | 23:43 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: you'll need 2 partition, one for ubuntu, about 15 gigs ext3 or ext4, the other is for swap, about 1-2 gigs | 23:43 |
| Relondo | LittleBallOfHate: I need specific instructions. | 23:44 |
| eagle_eye | !repo | 23:44 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: those #deb and #deb-src need to be just deb and deb-src. Delete the # in front of them. | 23:44 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, ok | 23:44 |
| Lunar_Lander | how can I delete a package? | 23:44 |

| LittleBallOfHate | Lunar_Lander: apt-get remove "package" or apt-get --purge remove "package" if you want configs and all gone | 23:45 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah | 23:45 |
| Lunar_Lander | thanks | 23:45 |
| Relondo | LittleBallOfHate: #deb and #deb-src are not appearing anywhere. | 23:45 |
| Lunar_Lander | LittleBallOfHate, with sudo? | 23:45 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: huh. you know where to set software sources? | 23:46 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Lunar_Lander: yup | 23:46 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: within X? | 23:46 |
| === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk | ||
| Relondo | LittleBallOfHate: Nope. Would the fact that I have not installed Ubuntu, and am just booting off of a flash drive, affect anything? | 23:46 |
| lappy | Hey everyone. So I did something stupid. I mistyped an rm command, and accidentally erased my entire external HDD. Now, I can replace everything that was on it, but that would be a MAJOR hassle. | 23:46 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: hahahahaha. yeah. | 23:47 |
| eagle_eye | Relondo: no | 23:47 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: mount point for ubuntu partition is / then install | 23:47 |
| lappy | Is there anyway that I can just recover the files from the drive? | 23:47 |
| Eszett | lappy: well, first things first, do not edit ANYTHING on the drive | 23:47 |
| Eszett | no new files at all | 23:47 |
| Relondo | LittleBallOfHate: He says no and you say yes. Hm. | 23:47 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: make sure its the correct partition with file system ext3 or ext4 | 23:47 |
| LittleBallOfHate | lappy: NO WRITES TO DRIVE | 23:47 |
| lappy | Eszett, I shut it down and unplugged it right away. | 23:47 |
| Eszett | good. | 23:47 |
| Eszett | I can't tell you the rest, I only know about how to do it on windows | 23:48 |
| Lunar_Lander | can it be that updates can get corrupted? | 23:48 |
| Spec | n1ckn4me09876543: my pc spec? | 23:48 |
| Relondo | LittleBallOfHate: Anyway, what are the chances of reformatting my drive with the Ubuntu installer wrecking the entire thing? Should I take an image first? | 23:48 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: well. /etc/apt/sources.list may be on read only media if temp booting ubuntu | 23:48 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | Spec: talking to t0ntin | 23:48 |
| lappy | Eszett, I have a windows 7 partition, if that would help? | 23:48 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: always make backups before any major disk operation | 23:48 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, i'm trying to do it with windows, but haven't figured out how | 23:48 |
| eagle_eye | Relondo: just do a wubi install | 23:48 |
| Relondo | eagle_eye: Gross, no thanks. | 23:49 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: that being said, I've never toasted a partition with the installer that I didn't want to. | 23:49 |
| Lunar_Lander | LittleBallOfHate, thanks, firefox doesn't crash now anymore when on facebook, I think it was that failed flashplugin update | 23:49 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | t0ntin: what do you mean? trying to do what with windows? | 23:49 |
| t0ntin | n1ckn4me09876543, create the partitions | 23:49 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Lunar_Lander: also apt-get -f install helps sometimes | 23:49 |
| Lunar_Lander | what does that do? | 23:50 |
| Relondo | LittleBallOfHate: I'm not sure how much room I want to give my Ubuntu. Can I resize it later with Ubuntu, or do I need another program for that? (I know that such programs exist, but they can screw things up). | 23:50 |
| Chuck_Norris | ye, or aptitude install -f | 23:50 |
| eagle_eye | Relondo: i suppose you are still new to linux & ubuntu?...minimize risk! | 23:50 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: gparted to resize any disks | 23:50 |
| Chuck_Norris | oh! but... if it about update so, might be GPG keys | 23:50 |
| lappy | So besides not writing anything on the HDD, does anyone have any suggestions how I could recover my accidentally (and stupidly) deleted files? | 23:50 |
| Lunar_Lander | LittleBallOfHate, how can I try to install the flashplayer again? | 23:50 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: it's pretty safe, but I like to wear my seatbelt so I make backups | 23:50 |
| escott | !undelete | lappy | 23:51 |
| ubottu | lappy: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 23:51 |
| Lunar_Lander | sudo apt-get flashplugin-installer? | 23:51 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Lunar_Lander: sudo apt-get install flashplayer-installer | 23:51 |
| Relondo | eagle_eye: Yeah, I am new to it, but I know about the reliability issues with Wubi. | 23:51 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah | 23:51 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Lunar_Lander: i think that's it anyway | 23:51 |
| Relondo | LittleBallOfHate: Gparted? | 23:51 |
| lappy | Excellent, thank you very much for the help! | 23:51 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: google gparted. can be booted from usb flash or cd | 23:51 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: like the old partition magic software | 23:52 |
| eagle_eye | Relondo: wubi installs are great and effective | 23:52 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Relondo: resize, delete and create partitions | 23:52 |
| lappy | The filesystem was NFTS, so hopefully it will be possible. | 23:52 |
| Relondo | LittleBallOfHate: Yeah, my dad has partition magic. On a Floppy. (Dear god, floppy drives). | 23:52 |
| === jrd is now known as jrdnn | ||
| Relondo | eagle_eye: Yes, but the drive bouncing can cause problems, and for the long-term, I'd just rather have a dual-boot. | 23:53 |
| eagle_eye | Relondo: my advice? do a wubi install, play around with ubuntu, build confidence & then create a physical partition for ubuntu...besides wubi installs a dual boot too! | 23:54 |
| Lunar_Lander | LittleBallOfHate, YAY I think it failed on the first time at the step where it was to download from archive.canonical.com | 23:54 |
| Relondo | eagle_eye: Can I install Wubi without having to download anything else? Can I just point it at my standard iso or something? | 23:55 |
| Pierreb | What is the "best" hardware i can get to run a htpc with ubuntu? | 23:55 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | Relondo: wubi is an exe file you open up while on windows OS | 23:55 |
| eagle_eye | Relondo: use the windows installer on the ubuntu website | 23:55 |
| Pierreb | im so god damn tired of crappy driver support and other really retarded things | 23:56 |
| eagle_eye | Relondo: you must be online to install via wubi | 23:56 |
| Relondo | eagle_eye: I have the Wubi.exe file. But it has to download Ubuntu once you start it; I was wondering if, since I already have the standard installation files downloaded, I could somehow avoid another 700 meg download. | 23:56 |
| eagle_eye | Relondo: there are no short cuts...you must download ubuntu again via the installer | 23:57 |
| juan_ | Relondo: you can certainly download the image and throw it into wubi for install | 23:58 |
| Relondo | eagle_eye: Alright. Guess I'll have to do that overnight, then. | 23:58 |
| Relondo | juan_: That's what I'm talking about. How do I do that? | 23:58 |
| eagle_eye | Relondo: overnight? it takes about 45mins | 23:58 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | Relondo: like most ppl tell me "stay away from wubi if you can" | 23:59 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | Relondo: get the iso and put it on a pendrive or a disc and go from there | 23:59 |
| LittleBallOfHate | Lunar_Lander: what was the error? | 23:59 |
| Relondo | eagle_eye: My "high-speed" is significantly slower than most. | 23:59 |
| eagle_eye | ahh | 23:59 |
