juan_Relondo: thats easy, make sure you put wubi and the iso image in the same folder00:00
Relondon1ckn4me09876543: Okay.00:00
eagle_eyeRelondo: you will need high speed to successfully complete this task00:00
juan_Relondo: once you tell wubi what you want to install it will pick up the image in the same folder00:00
Relondoeagle_eye: I do have high-speed. I just prefer to knock out as much of the download as possible, becasue mine is extended DSL.00:01
n1ckn4me09876543Pierreb: something that's compatible with linux.  You get crappy hardware support when a company doesn't have release firmware for linux.00:01
Relondojuan_: Awesome, thanks.00:01
Lunar_LanderLittleBallOfHate, the flashplugin-installer was among the updates a few minutes ago and it downloaded and then wrote that it was to install from archive.canonical.com and then the updater stood there and then proceeded and then a window came up about that loading of additional files for the update had failed, that the module was unusable and would have to be uninstalled before installing anew00:01
Yoshimi-pinkI'm using a thumb drive and i want to just be able to put files on and take them off but using ext 2,3,4 gives me hell about permissions, how can i handle this? I also have filenames i want to put on it which don't agree with fat 16,3200:01
juan_Relondo: yeah so just make sure the 2 files are on the same folder and you can install offline00:01
eagle_eyeRelondo: otherwise go with the iso install00:01
juan_Relondo: that;s how i always do it and it works like a charm :)00:02
RelondoAlright, you've all been great help. Thanks a bunch, and I'm off to install!00:02
zykotick9Yoshimi-pink: with ext on a usb, you can change the permissions...00:02
Yoshimi-pinkhow do i do that?00:02
escottYoshimi-pink, are you moving those files between diferent linux computers with different users00:03
zykotick9Yoshimi-pink: have you created subfolders on the USB?  "chmod ugo+rwx /media/USB/subfolder" would give everyone full permission00:03
shwouchkHello00:03
Yoshimi-pinkthis might sound stupid but what is a subfolder?00:04
Yoshimi-pinkis it just a folder on the usb?00:04
zykotick9Yoshimi-pink: sorry, subdirectory00:04
Chaos_Zerois their any ubuntu networking sub channel?00:05
zykotick9Yoshimi-pink: "mkdir foo" type thing00:05
LittleBallOfHateLunar_Lander: Chaos_Zero not really00:05
Yoshimi-pinkok thanks00:05
LittleBallOfHateLunar_Lander: not sure about that error man. I spend most of the time on the console.00:05
Chaos_Zerodarn00:05
LittleBallOfHateChaos_Zero: dude, just ask here00:05
shwouchkI am trying to install ubuntu on a dell inspiron b130, but during the load from liveUSB it stops loading with no error messages or anything. How do I go about debugging this?00:05
Chaos_Zeroany off chance anyone else ever tried to set up two seperate internet connections on one ubuntu server?00:06
Yoshimi-pinkI feel weird that i have a thumb drive the size of my pinky larger than a hard drive on my old computer00:06
Lunar_LanderLittleBallOfHate, ah ok, I just assume it didn't connect to canonical at first and that caused the error00:06
eagle_eyeLittleBallOfHate: +100:06
escottChaos_Zero, meaning what?00:06
Chaos_Zerolike, with two modems, one i want to do everything normally, the other just for transmission-deamon00:06
LittleBallOfHateChaos_Zero: what are you trying to achieve?00:06
zykotick9!nomodeset | shwouchk have you tried this?00:06
ubottushwouchk have you tried this?: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter00:06
LittleBallOfHateChaos_Zero: that's easy00:07
Chaos_Zeroi have tried using the "bind address" for transmission but it does not work00:07
escottChaos_Zero, http://www.howtoforge.com/network_card_bonding_centos00:07
Chaos_Zeroi have read up and seen that ubuntu usually only had one default route00:07
LittleBallOfHateChaos_Zero: iptables00:07
Chaos_Zeroyeah i started to get into that but i am to much of a noob00:07
escottChaos_Zero, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/add-route-based-on-port-not-ip-486823/00:08
shwouchkzykotick9, I actually tried booting without the splash and quiet options and now see that the moment it stops is when it doesn't find the firmware for my wifi card00:08
Chaos_Zerothats alot of links to look at00:08
Chaos_Zero=D00:08
zykotick9shwouchk: ummm, sorry i don't have any suggestions for that.  good luck.00:09
shwouchkzykotick9, thanks00:09
LittleBallOfHateChaos_Zero: you want to tell it that any traffic on this certain port is to go out eth whatever is the one you want00:09
Chaos_Zerook, but transmission randomizes ports normally right00:10
shwouchkI an trying to install on a dell inspiron b130 machine and during the boot of the liveUSB it hangs while loading the networking drivers, complaining it hasn't the firmware for the device (b43). Help?00:11
LittleBallOfHateChaos_Zero: not sure, but I have no idea how you'd deal with that00:12
eagle_eye!network | shwouchk00:12
ubottushwouchk: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs00:12
P-ChanHello I have this problem:00:12
P-Chan*ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is  24700:12
escottChaos_Zero, if you could run transmission as a particular uid or gid you could make your rule based on that. i dont think its possible to route based on application but it might be00:12
P-Chanhow solve this00:12
escottP-Chan, buy a new monitor00:12
P-Chanescott: why?00:13
escottP-Chan, because you monitor has an invalid EDID table. the checksum is wrong00:13
P-Chanescott: before it don't had error. And now the monitor don't go to 1200x80000:14
escottP-Chan, there isn't a lot you can do about this. if it works then just the checksum is wrong, if it doesnt work...00:14
P-Chanescott: it's work. I am on this monitor00:14
P-Chanescott: the monitor vendor is daewoo00:15
P-Chan:(00:15
escottP-Chan, if you need to silence the error you can create an xorg.conf with an Option UseEdid as "no" if you need another modeline you can manually specify it. otherwise you live with the fact that your hardware is broken, but hopefully not too broken00:16
P-Chanescott: well, this hardware work yet and I have other monitor00:18
P-ChanI will learn to hide this error00:18
P-Chanescott: But now ubuntu don't have xorg.config... and now?00:19
lgcI wonder why I ended up with my Ubuntu in English. I remember choosing the keyboard, but not the language.00:19
P-ChanI have other problem guys. Only MATE interface works well here. XFCE, KDE, LXDE causes lag in my mouse and lags00:20
escottlgc, the language selection is at the beginning of the installer. i think it assumes that if you are installing through english your desired language is english00:22
P-Chanescott: how you discovered this monitor error?00:22
P-Chanescott: teach me how hide this error please00:24
escottP-Chan, EDID is a bit of data that the monitor reports when asked by the video card that describes its capabilities (maximum resolutions and refresh rates). your's is invalid so that error is meant to protect the hardware -- we cant be sure that the resolutions and refresh rates we are being told work are correct... so the computer will use "safe" resolutions.00:24
lgcescott, I probably fell asleep while installing, but I ended up with English. I want Spanish now.00:24
jrdnnP-Chan if no xorg.conf to put what he said type Xorg --configure in terminal00:24
=== wilee-nilee is now known as shrinking-brain
P-Chanjrdnn: I did it but not happen. I will try  one more time00:25
luigi69Morning00:25
escottP-Chan, if you want to hide it you have to create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (if you have nvidia you already have one) otherwise you create one with Xorg --configure and then add modelines and specify UseEDID FALSE00:26
escottP-Chan, see http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?48635-quot-useEDID-quot-quot-False-quot-option-is-ignored-in-xorg-conf00:26
luigi69I have a question... I am looking for a program, that would work under ubuntu00:26
luigi69and help me get files from a disc with bad sectors00:26
P-Chanescott: is this dangerous? hide the monitor error00:26
escottP-Chan, the UseEDID option is presumably associated with the Monitor section of the xorg.conf00:26
P-Chanok00:27
luigi69I have a disc with 3 partitions (NTFS), it has bad sectors, and i can't mount one of this partitions... i get a S.M.A.R.T backup & replace error, and i would like to rescude some data00:27
luigi69any recommendations ?00:27
lotus-bladewhat is the best way to setup a mail server after install of desktop?00:27
lgcescott, changing the regional formats was no good, and I didn't get to change the language on the Language tab.00:27
reisiolotus-blade: can probably still use tasksel or whatever00:28
P-Chanescott: is possible this problem affects stability?00:28
escottP-Chan, in the past there was a danger (with CRTs) that if you sent a higher frequency than the screen was capable you could damage the display (because electrons were being sent where they shouldnt be). not sure that is a problem in modern LCDs, but it is a loss of convenience00:28
escottlgc, im not sure how to install additional languages. ask the channel00:28
P-Chanescott: this monitor is LCD00:28
lgcYou mean here, escott ?00:29
escottlgc, yes00:29
P-Chanjrdnn: Xorg --configure or sudo Xorg --configure ?00:29
lgcescott, thanks.00:29
tomodoam I the only one who finds it extremely difficult to find the right bit to drag to resize windows?00:29
escottP-Chan, then you are probably just losing convenience because you will have to specify modelines00:29
lgcHi, how can I change the language settings on my machine? The obvious thing just didn't work.00:30
jrdnnP-Chan, Sorry, sudo Xorg -configure00:30
P-Chanjrdnn: thanks00:30
jrdnnP-Chan: you're welcome00:30
P-Chanjrdnn: Fatal server error: Unrecognized option: --configure00:30
P-ChanWhat!00:30
reisiolotus-blade: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel00:31
reisiolotus-blade: dunno what 'mail-server' maps to00:31

t0ntinHi, all. I'm trying to install ubuntu using an installation DVD. I'm hoping someone can tell me how to do it by looking at these pictures. Can't figure it out. https://picasaweb.google.com/boyaqo/June8201200:45
KRomolike, so i can choose which installation?00:45
jrdnnP-Chan if you type ls "/etc/X11" is there any file beginning with xorg.conf ?00:45
WFPKHCwhy debian?00:45
MadpilotWFPKHC, you could start with the server version and go up from there, I guess00:45
KRomowould grub need to be used as a boot manager?00:45
WFPKHCwhat is installed with the server version?00:45
P-Chanjrdnn: no00:46
WFPKHCand the problem is the USB installer wont do the server version it will only do desktop or dvd00:46
fidelWFPKHC: basically a more monimal collection of packages00:47
MadpilotWFPKHC, not a lot. No X, no DE, etc.00:47
fidel*minimal*00:47
reisioP-Chan: far out00:47
WFPKHCi am new to linux and do not understand what noX and noDE means00:47
P-Chanreisio: ???00:47
reisioWFPKHC: presumably some newfangled jargon for 'not using X (the window system)' or 'not using a DE (desktop environment, like GNOME, Unity, etc.)'00:48
MadpilotWFPKHC, if you're new to Linux, install the ordinary desktop version and play with that for a while00:48

roastedIs anybody else's Firefox/Flash coming up with extremely washed out colors? Chrome works fine... Although Chrome also bugs me each time a flash site comes up requiring me to hit "run this time..." <_<00:48
reisiojayanth: hi00:48
reisioroasted: washed out, or blue? :D00:48
roastedbluish, yeah00:48
reisioroasted: it's a bug with nvidia/flash00:49
reisioroasted: you can disable hardware acceleration if you can't stand it00:49
WFPKHCdoes ubuntu server 12.04 come with a gui?00:49
MadpilotWFPKHC, nope.00:49
WFPKHCcan you install a gui on it?00:49
roastedI'm fine with it. I just fired up Firefox to youtube for a bit without the annoying run this time message. Have you seen taht in chrome reisio ?00:49
fidelWFPKHC: you wold have to install it manually afterwards00:49
WFPKHCi understand about terminal00:50
WFPKHCkind of00:50
jrdnnP-Chan try making a file there called xorg.conf and put 'Section "Device"<enter> Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"<enter>EndSection' and save00:50
fidelWFPKHC: you just tell the package management to install the related package00:50
Madpilotyou could, yes. lots of work to basically get to where the desktop version starts out at, though.00:50
reisioroasted: it's a bug with nvidia/flash00:50
roastedreisio, oh, chrome as well?00:50
WFPKHCim used to Yum  will that work on ubuntu?00:50
reisioroasted: ...anything that uses flash00:50
reisioI would suspect00:50
roastedreisio, I see. I thought you were just talking about the firefox issue00:50
roastedreisio, my apologies.00:50
MadpilotWFPKHC, Ubuntu is a Debian derivative, so apt instead of yum.00:50
WFPKHCok00:51
WFPKHCmay i ask what is the command to install gnome 3 on ubutu please?00:51
P-Chanjrdnn: ok. is this solve the xorg creation? and Do I paste in etc x11?00:51
MadpilotWFPKHC, if you mean Gnome Shell, there's a gnome-shell package you can install00:52
WFPKHCyes gnome 300:52
jrdnnP-Chan, It should use the defaults xorg settings except disabling the warning about back edid checksum00:52
xanguaWFPKHC: you are already using gnome300:52
tuxgeekWFPKHCV: sudo apt-get instal gnom-shell00:52
WFPKHCi was using gnome 3 on a default fedora 17 install00:52
MadpilotWFPKHC, Unity is based on Gnome 3, jus twith Unity instead of Gnome Shell00:52
tuxgeekgnome*00:52
zykotick9!notunity | WFPKHC00:52
ubottuWFPKHC: 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 !classic00:52
reisioroasted: Chrome may or may not have a different plugin API at this point, don't recall00:53

MadpilotWFPKHC, install the regular desktop version of Ubuntu for now, you can try out Gnome Shell and such from there, and you can always nuke it in favour of a server install and roll your own desktop at some point00:54
WFPKHCk D00:55
WFPKHCcan i run a server from the desktop version?00:55
roastedWFPKHC, I do00:55
WFPKHCis it any good?00:56
WFPKHCdo you use apache or nginx?00:56
roastedWFPKHC, the desktop vs server versions of Ubuntu aren't nearly as far apart as Windows is.00:56
roastedWFPKHC, apache00:56
WFPKHCoh ok00:56
WFPKHCbecause i come from windows and they are worlds apart00:56
roastedWFPKHC, I tried to set up nginx recently, but either their documentation sucks/is incorrect or I'm an idiot00:56
WFPKHCk00:56
roastedI'm likely an idiot :P00:56
velaur<WFPKHC> can i run a server from the desktop version? <- can you, yea <.< you can run any OS and use it as a server00:56
cleaninstallmaybe all the above00:56
reisionginx isn't so hard00:56
MadpilotWFPKHC, you can run a server off a desktop Ubuntu, I did for development for a few years. Works just fine. A basic LAMP install is dead simple.00:56
reisioApache is still on top though... for the moment00:57
roastedreisio, that's what I was told.00:57
roastedreisio, however, I'd have to disagree.00:57
reisionot for much longer, though00:57
reisioroasted: I'm sure there are explicit guides if you need one00:57
roastedreisio, I had trouble figuring out which files to edit. Apache's documentation is crazy amazing.00:57
WFPKHCi wish to use Linux Nginx postgresql and php00:57
roastedreisio, been there.00:57
roastedreisio, Google lights up with purple links I've alrleady visited bro.00:57
reisioroasted: there's really only one file, nginx.conf00:57
roastedreisio, I stopped caring.00:57
roastedreisio, am I thinking of lighttpd?00:58
reisioroasted: just saying00:58
roastedlighttpd also has 1 file though00:58
reisioroasted: I don't know00:58
roastedreisio, any guides you'd recommend with nginx?  I stil want to tinker with it and get it running.00:58
reisioWFPKHC: php fpm + suhosin00:58
MadpilotWFPKHC, that should be doable. The core of the desktop version of Ubuntu is identical to the core of server, the same commands will work on either version.00:58
WFPKHCwhat is suhosin?00:58
reisioWFPKHC: makes PHP slightly less ragingly insecure than it is by default00:58
WFPKHCkk thank you (to everyone so many people here to help and are friendly)00:58
reisioroasted: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22ubuntu%22%20%22nginx%22%20%22php-fpm%22 ?00:59
WFPKHCWFPKHC: makes PHP slightly less ragingly insecure than it is by default - i didnt understand that00:59
reisioWFPKHC: it makes PHP more secure00:59
WFPKHCwhat does?00:59
reisiothe 'suhosin' patchset00:59
WFPKHCoh ok00:59
WFPKHCi didnt know that - sorry00:59
reisiohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suhosin00:59
reisioseems Ubuntu uses it by default, so you won't even have to bother01:00
roastedreisio, I understood php wouldl be overkill for my application, so I didn't bother going into anything php related. Perhaps thats why?01:00
reisioroasted: why what, you couldn't get nginx to work?01:00
WFPKHCk01:00
reisioroasted: what does your application use?01:00
roastedreisio, if I recall, I could get nginx to bring up the default page, but no other content I added would populate.01:00
reisioroasted: what lang/extension?01:01
roastedreisio, I run Motion... motion detection video surveillance software. I set Motion to save AVI's of my video feeds in apache's web directory so I can view the feeds outside of my LAN. That's really it.01:01
roastedreisio, I basically just use Apache as a glorified external Nautilus01:01
reisioso you couldn't get nginx to display your avi's in a directory index?01:01
roastedreisio, I could get nginx to come up with the default nginx page, but that was it. Ic ould get no further.01:01
WFPKHChey does anyone here use the universal usb installer? for pendrive linux?01:01

ubottuvelaur: 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 !classic01:37

robotti^_genii-around: is my network card bad?02:08
genii-aroundrobotti^_: It shows that the problem is not caused by transmission errors or data collisions. So then probably the problem lays on one of the endpoints. Like for instance the machine sending the data requested is bogging down on a cycle which makes the response times go from 100-1 and back again02:08
genii-aroundrobotti^_: This can happen with large files streaming, it grabs so much off the disk (when it slows down on responding) fills the cache/buffer and sends (when it speeds up)02:09

t0ntinsacarlson, is it possible to create a partition off the only large one? That is, where windows is installed?02:46
DarkenvyThere is way too much information on how to install java and they all differ. cant I just add a repository and install it that way?02:47
luhuromg my openoffice can't type from right to left, how is it02:47
sacarlsont0ntin: you would have to break the only large partition if that's the space you want to provide.  to do that you would have to repartition or resize partitions02:47
Chaos_Zeroagain, or you would use vbox02:47
unodxanybody know of an open source to send text messages ?02:48
bazhangDarkenvy, what version of ubuntu02:48
wolfgangHay Geni-around or any one else does virtual machine take up alot of hard drive space?02:48
blahblah_if you just want to try out ubuntu, then wubi or live cd is good?02:48
Darkenvyubuntu 10.04LST server02:48
t0ntinsacarlson, i'm trying to do that with a program called minitool partition wizard for windows, but don't see how :(02:48
Chaos_Zerowell02:48
Chaos_Zeroyou can have it go faster and take a fixed amont02:48
Chaos_Zeroor go slower and add to the partition as you use up space02:48
DarkenvyAll these methods look like visual ways to install it and all I have is terminal02:48
Chaos_Zeroif i recall02:48
olskolircyou buncha hackers! :-)02:49
sacarlsont0ntin: well that's outside ubuntu so I would look for help on google or other to resize partitions in windowsw02:49
wolfgangWill vm hurt my comp? i only have 1 gig of ram02:49
wolfgangAny one know?02:49
t0ntinsacarlson, ok, thank you.02:49
blahblah_ya, vm will be painful with 1g02:49
Chaos_Zeroyou can tel it how much ram the virtual machine uses02:49
wolfgangWhere do i get it?02:50
Chaos_Zerogoogle02:50
bazhangChaos_Zero, dont suggest that here02:50
wolfgangand if i close out does it stop using that ram?02:50
bazhang!google | Chaos_Zero02:50
ubottuChaos_Zero: 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.02:50
sacarlsont0ntin: in the end you will want an empty partition that is at least 10 gb in size02:50
bazhangChaos_Zero, just say nothing if you dont know02:50
bazhangwolfgang, vbox wont be worth running with that tiny amount of ram02:51
wolfgangok02:51
glitsj16Darkenvy: have you checked https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/java yet?02:51
wolfgangThank you02:51
MadpilotUh, Unity won't let you move full-screen apps to another desktop. Meh.02:51
wolfgangWill getting 8 gigs hurt my computer. what else will  have to upgrade?02:51
Chaos_Zeroyou have to be 64 bit02:52
bazhangwolfgang, more ram is always better02:52
Chaos_Zeroos / proc/ mobo02:52
Chaos_Zerootherwise it caps it at like 3.2 gb no matter how much you have02:52
wolfgangYeah i know more ram is better but will it cause other problems if i add that much?02:52
bazhang!pae | Chaos_Zero02:52
ubottuChaos_Zero: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info02:52
wolfgangi heard it wont work without a better power supply02:52
Madpilotwolfgang, not if your motherboard supports it, no.02:52
wolfganghow do i know if my mother board supports it?02:53
bazhangwolfgang, thats more of a hardware question, not really ubuntu support related. it wont hurt, however02:53
wolfgangHowever?02:53
Chaos_Zerobazhang, maybe i mixed up people, bu i thought he was duel booting windows02:53
blahblah_motherboards come with manuals02:53
Madpilotwolfgang, put the exact model name/number of your motherboard into google, you should be able to find the specs fairly easily02:53
wolfgangHow do i find model name lol?02:54
bazhangChaos_Zero, pae supports more than 3.2, which has nothing to do with dual booting or not02:54
wolfgangthis was pre made02:54
wolfgangabout 8 years old02:54
bazhangwolfgang, sudo lshw and pastebin for us to see02:54
Chaos_Zeroi understand, but then when he runs the windows side if its not 4 bit he will be losing out02:54
Madpilotbazhang, note that 12.04 seems to enabled pae automatically; I have the pae kernel and never did any special setup for it02:54

Darkenvyit has to be oracle java, not openjdk03:05
wolfganglol03:05

sacarlsonDarkenvy: show me the command line that didn't work?03:10
bazhangwolfgang, try ##hardware , this is Ubuntu OS support, not hardware03:11
Darkenvyokay too many conversations now. if you are refering to minecraft, whisper me. this is purely java (keeping it simple)03:11
bazhangwolfgang, /join ##hardware and ask there03:11
wolfgangOk thank you03:11
wolfgangAlso how do you do that red letter thing?03:11
bazhangwolfgang, thats when someone highlights your name, in xchat03:11

gmcleanhello. every time my wireless disconnects or i reboot, i must manually select my essid and re-enter the password even though in the wireless settings i have selected "connect automatically" and "available to all users" for one of the now MANY connections (i have also tried deleting them all and starting over). any clues?03:13
wolfgangbazhang, how do i get to hard ware?03:13
hegemon#warsong03:14
Darkenvysacarlson, the snide comments are not nessisary. I am bombarded by a littany of methods to install java. all complicated, all various version and all from various dates dating back to 200803:15
bazhangDarkenvy, people are volunteers. no one is being snide to you03:15
wolfgang_bazhang, how do i get to hardware support?03:15
Darkenvyif this 3 line commands work I am personally sticking it in your face to shove it beause you are just rude and unhelpful. I have researched and researched for not just a few minutes but for the last 2 days. check public logs. ive been here a while for th elast few days03:16
bazhangwolfgang_, /join ##hardware03:16
bazhangDarkenvy, lost the attitude03:16
Darkenvyyes bazhang, I get this but I do not like being pushed aside as someone who doesnt 'google' first. I get that most of the people you get can be solved by a ubottu command03:17
Darkenvyit is very difficult to explain that you need more assistance than that :)03:17
bazhangDarkenvy, the links given say it very clearly.03:17
wolfgang_bazhang, no one in hardware will answer03:17
bazhangwolfgang_, then be patient03:17
Darkenvyit wasnt too clear. I was given a list of many pages each with different methods. go read them.03:17

rickgerHello, can someone help me figure out why ubuntu decided to create the default folders in the ecryptedfs out of nowhere03:45
rickgerBasically, what happened was my USB3.0 port stopped working. I restarted the computer and ubuntu went back to it's desktop defaults, and certain folders were duplicated (and empty)03:46

bazhangWFPKHC, just use apt-get instead, or install aptitude03:47
WFPKHCis there anyway for me to install nginx without installing aptitude?03:47
bazhangWFPKHC, yes, use apt-get03:47
sacarlsonWFPKHC: sudo apt-get install nginx ;03:48
WFPKHCthank you =D03:48
P-Chanwhat is better apt-ge or aptitude?03:48

ubottuUsually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.03:48
bazhangP-Chan, neither03:48
rickgerI found out that ubuntu had created the default folders (Downloads, Documents, Music, etc..) in the .Private ecrypt folder.03:48
sacarlsonP-Chan: well apt-ge don't work so aptitude is better03:48
WFPKHCis there something better then apt-get because it doesnt tell me how big the download is or its dependancies?03:48
bazhangP-Chan, mate and the like are unsupported PPA, did you have an actual ubuntu support question?03:49
chuSure it does.03:49
sacarlsonWFPKHC: you can use synaptic or the other gui that shows more stuf03:49
rickgerIT caused those folders to be completely unaccessable until I deleted them from the .Private folder03:49

WFPKHCk thank you03:52
rickgerCan anyone just tell me under what conditions will Ubuntu create the default /home folders? I really have no idea how this could of happened.03:52
rickgerOr why it would create them in the ecryptfs03:53
Jester86_Mobilechu, that doesn't work does it?  I believe terminal only shows the desktop background when transparent - I don't believe it shows windows / applications that are open in the backdrop03:53

dk5After installing ubuntu on my laptop, I'm having a problem with my headphones. They work when I test the sound, but when I view something in a browser, there's no sound. Anyone have this problem?03:53
bazhangzykotick9, yep, deprecated, so removed03:53
zykotick9bazhang: thanks.03:54
blakeJester86_Mobile: Yes, it should should windows behind the terminal not just the background. At least mine does.03:54
chuJester86_Mobile: I don't use transparency myself, so I couldn't tell you.03:54
Jester86_Mobileblake, how did you get that to work?  Mine only shows the background and negates any open window03:55
sacarlsonrickger: when you create a new user you select if you want his /home/user dir to be encrytped,  this also is asked at first install of ubuntu for an admin account03:55

smwzykotick9, what is that?03:57
lwizardlokay so I took the firefox update and now the bookmark all tabs option is no longer working. is there a fix ?03:57
blakeJester86_Mobile: I was pleased to discover that feature too. I'm so accustomed to it on my Mac.03:57
sacarlsonrickger: there is a box to check in the user group gui that is used to select weather it's encyrpted or not03:57
Jester86_Mobileblake, I'm hoping some IDE allows this feature as well.  I currently use nano - does nano highlight syntax when programing?03:58
WFPKHCwhy wont this command work "sudo chkconfig --add nginx"03:58
rickgersacarlson, yeah but what I'm saying is that this user and it's encryptfs already existed. But ubuntu re-created the default folders in the home directory and the encrypfs even though they already existed03:58
smwzykotick9, heh, nice. But then I need to figure out how to enable the sysreq key03:58
sacarlsonrickger: from an upgrade?  you can unencrypt the user or just create a new user that isn't encrypted and copy the /home/user to the new one03:58
smwzykotick9, and not guarantee x would restart ;-)03:58
Jester86_Mobileblake, it seems to be in ubuntu - now if only Arch were so easy to use ;)03:59
Jester86_Mobilethanks again blake - you have revolutionized my workflow process lol03:59
smwzykotick9, whatever, I found the setting :-)03:59
rickgerrickger, no upgrade. All I did was reboot the system. When it came back on, there were duplicate Download/Documents/Music/etc.. folders and they were empty03:59
blakeJester86_Mobile: I don't know if any IDE's that have transparency, and I know less about Nano (vi user here). I actually started using Sublime Text 2 recently. It's an awesome editor and runs on Linux and Mac.04:00
rickgersacarlson, once I removed the default folders from the encrypfs and rebooted, I could access the folders again04:00
blakeJester86_Mobile: and it does syntax highlighting for just about everything ;-)04:00

ubottugits1225: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)04:40

AreckxI am having serious problems with 10.04 and my iPhone. On fresh install, I could mount my iphone, but after installing all of the goodies in order to actually make use of mounting it, it now is unable to be mounted through USB. I could SSH into it but now it's not even letting me do that...04:44

lbakalinskyHello All, does anyone have any experience with a clustered apache environment. I am looking to create a WebCluster and wondering if anyone has a recommendation on which file system to use (GFS, Gluster, OCFS2, or something else), any advice would be greatly appreciated05:07
northcoastmustanhi all, glad to be here. I'm using pinguy OS atm05:09
jonathonAnyone know why my screen lags when I put things in fullscreen?05:11
northcoastmustanwhat do you mean by "lags"?05:11
jonathonLike when I try to play FoFiX, A python game, or watch a flash video in fullscreen, It'll have random lag spikes every couple seconds, Like going from the regular FPS to like 4FPS for a second, then repeat05:12
northcoastmustanhave you checked to see if additional drivers are necessary for your video card?05:13
jonathonBoth Flash and Python are up to date, as are my Video card drivers05:13
jonathonYea05:13
northcoastmustanhaha05:13
northcoastmustanyoure running ubuntu 12.04?05:13
jonathonThere's two for my video card though, one is regular, the other says Post Release Updates, Which I can't install for some reason, And yea, 12.0405:14
northcoastmustanpost release might be similar to a beta version that is newer than the stable. at least that is what i would be lead to believe05:15
jonathonThat's what I assumed also, But the Post Release ones refuse to install, Which has never been a problem05:15

northcoastmustanyou know, i've had the same problem when i was on ubuntu 12.04. currently i'm using pinguy but i noticed similar issue05:16
northcoastmustantomodo, we would need more information about your computer and operating system you're currently running05:17
SadlyMistakenIs pinguy an OS? what are you talking about?05:17
tomodohow will that help?05:17

ubottuinitdv: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), Kaffeine, kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out and !UbuntuTV07:28

Biboubuntu does use bash07:31
quazimodoBibo: not as /bin/sh07:31
auronandacequazimodo: if i remember correctly it's because dash is faster at certain things07:31
quazimodobut i just realised07:31

ubottu/bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash07:31
BiboTIL something new07:32
initdvdash bash hash07:32
initdvget it now07:32
dskippyDoes anyone know which package I need to apt-get to have lirc_atiusb, the module for my snapstream firefly remote?07:33
BiboI know bash, just not the origins of all their names07:33
dskippyI have read many forums and they seem to think it's the lirc package, but I don't have the file on my system after getting that.07:34
Bibodskippy apt-cache search lirc_atiusb07:34
shwouchkBibo, I did not get to this stage yet - I am first trying to boot the liveUSB...07:34

dskippyBibo: that command gives me nothing07:36
back_homuhey flash works07:36
back_homuthanks guiz07:36
Biboshwouchk: I know you have to blacklist the firmware, I just don't know how you would do so for a liveusb07:36
Biboback_homu: np :D07:36
genii-arounddskippy : Does not seem to exist in Ubuntu. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=lirc_atiusb.ko&mode=exactfilename&suite=precise&arch=any07:37
shwouchkBibo, thanks, I'll look it up07:37
Bibocan you boot into it at least?07:37
genii-aroundApologies on the misdirect earlier07:37
back_homu:D07:37
dskippygenii-around: Yeah I tried that site as well.07:37
dskippyI am not sure how to make this remote work. All the forums say that it's that driver. Then there's some stuff saying it's broken, which might be the case.07:38
dskippyBut it was working in all previous versions of ubuntu07:38

back_homuyoutube audio is stuttery07:38
Biboback_homu: an issue with pulse audio probably07:39

Biboclose the web browser and do pulseaudio -k07:39

Bibotype this command into a terminal I mean: pulseaudio -k07:39
Robr3rdWhenever my system goes into power save mode (I think the technical term is "suspend" -- essentially the monitor rests but nothing else) I am unable to resume my session. I wiggle my mouse and my monitor turns on, I can see my mouse moving, and I can also drop to the virtual terminals, but when in the graphical session, everything other than the mouse is black.07:39

back_homuflash player not working now07:40
shwouchkBibo, the way is to add b43.blacklist=yes to the kernel options at the boot menu07:40
BiboI had that same issue on previous versions of ubuntu, so I know that feel07:40
back_homuI don't think it's because of pulseaudio -k07:41
Bibopulseaudio -k would restart your sound server07:41
back_homuwould that cause a flash player hiccup?07:41
back_homubecause now the browser does not detect flash player anymore07:41
Bibowell that was a possible fix for audio stutter. I don't know why flash stopped working07:42
back_homu;_;07:42
Bibodoes closing your browser and restarting it help?07:42

back_homuflash still not working on firefox07:46
c0deMasterI downloaded Firefox from mozilla site, how to run it?07:47
Bibohmmm...well one fix I found involves reinstalling chrome, and another said just to delete the profile and relaunch chrome07:47
auronandacec0deMaster: why not use firefox from the repo?07:47
back_homui have no idea on how to delete the profile07:47
back_homui still have the installer for chrome i think07:47
c0deMasterauronandace, its Firefox 13,  and  I want to try running it like that07:47
auronandacec0deMaster: firefox 13 is in the repos07:48
Biboback_homu: well if it's not working for firefox as well, then it's a problem with the flash plugin.07:48

tuxgeekRobr3rd: restart x07:59
Robr3rdBibo: Yes, I know that much so far, as restarting X fixes it, but this is a persistent problem that refuses to go away, it seems. It is also a fairly recent problem -- happening only in the last week08:00
BiboRobr3rd: Are you using Gnome Shell or Unity?08:00
back_homuOK, Finally got it working.08:00
Robr3rdBibo: Unity08:00
Robr3rdBibo: On 12.04, too08:00
back_homuBibo: if somebody else comes with the same problem, redirect them to the download site and tell them to download other versions; the .apt file. it should work.08:01
l33tchhmmm, I've been getting error's every time i come out of suspend since 12.04, but just ignoring them so far.. i should look into that08:01
back_homuOne more question. I press the Right Alt button and the search thingy comes up in Unity08:02

back_homuhow do i customize that08:02

Robr3rdBibo: *nods* So basically we wait it out until there's a fix? Have you found any preventative measures, or just restart X?08:13
auronandaceRobr3rd: i have told you the solution, give it a try to see if the problem persists08:13

back_homusupposed to contain all the most-used apps08:29
back_homubecause the all apps screen is horrible to browse08:29
Biboback_homu: Well, KDE has a polished look to it, and many users find it similar to Windows. Gnome Shell is completely unique and may remind you of an Android tablet (it works really well for touchpads, but is annoying to use with a mouse imo). XFCE is very much like Gnome 2 now, and is very lightweight, and even has its own built in compositor. Unity is umm...slow, and odd, and annoying (this is just my opinion anyways).08:29
back_homuheh08:29
back_homui agree Unity being poopy08:29
back_homuI'm with KDE or Gnome08:30

ubottuWawaiftyid this: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!10:44
krababbelWawaiftyid: turninga router into a modem10:44
theadminWawaiftyid: Well unless the router is running Ubuntu (which isn't likely)...10:45
krababbelI forgot that10:45
WawaiftyidMy PC is running in Ubuntu.10:45
theadminWawaiftyid: Then it's offtopic, because your router has nothing to do with your PC.10:45

MonkeyDustyou*10:52
wylde_d8bhatta: I use Virtualbox and I am able to share my ubuntu folders with the VM through settings. Never used VMware though.10:53
pikaciud8bhatta: maybe dual boot .10:53
ejod8bhatta: if you drop vmware and do this with virtualbox instead you will have no problem.10:53
ejovirtualbox is commonly thought to be easier to set up too --10:53

damms005Please anybody: how can I copy the files on my ipad to my laptop10:54
erinaceus_damms005: Does you Laptop recognize the Ipad as a USB-Device?10:54
erinaceus_*your10:54
ejoipad: good luck with incredibly proprietary device xD10:55
damms005erinaceus_: it does not recognize it(if it does, the GUI will automatically pop-up a window for it; or it appears as sdb1 in /dev folder)10:56
sage__Guys, i have installed these restricted drivers and my ubuntu just doesn't boot up. The screen goes blank and power led of the monitor starts blinking..10:56
sage__Any way to remove those drivers ?10:57
Squarepydamms005, why not go over the cloud with this ;)10:57
damms005erinaceus_: So does that means I cannot mount my ipad or view the files on it?10:57
bhaveshsage__ yup10:57
erinaceus_damms005: Do you have an option on your ipad that controls the behaviour of it when being connected to usb?10:57
bhaveshsage__  did you get the right click menu?10:58
damms005erinaceus_: nope10:58
ejoI don't think Steve Jobs would have been too into the idea of anyone mounting their ipad on a non-Apple system10:58
bhaveshsage__ did you see your pointer?10:58
sage__bhavesh,  fortunately i just booted up into ubuntu, it worked this time10:58
bhaveshsage__ good10:58
sage__but it does not work most of the times, so i want those drivers to be removed10:58
erinaceus_damms005: Well, then i'm out of ideas, upload it somewhere or use scp to your laptop.10:58
erinaceus_So... when i'm using the live cd, is it possible to remove it once the system has loaded?10:59
damms005erinaceus_: what is scp. Sorry if i'm disturbing10:59
bhaveshsage__ well you can remove them from addition drivers11:00
sage__where to find it ?11:00
bhaveshsage__ did you just try the [recommended] one or even the version-current?11:00

erinaceus_take a look at what the bot gave you, but i would consider it an option, since you probably dont have a server running. Just upload it somewhere or put it on another device11:02

erinaceus_Does ubuntu have an ssh server automatically enabled?11:05
MonkeyDusterinaceus_  no, install openssh-server11:05
wyldeerinaceus_: no, just 'sudo apt-get install openssh-server' to install it.11:06
erinaceus_MonkeyDust: Well considering that, it might not be the best idea to try to make damms use ssh, if he hasnt a server to put it on.11:06

erinaceus_So, how about my live disk question? Can i remove it once the system has loaded, or does it load dynamically from the disk?11:07
wylde_erinaceus_: no you can't. It will be looking there for data if you start any applications.11:08
Dr_Williserinaceus_:  some live cd's have a toram option to put the whold cd in ram. Not sure if the latest ubuntu have that feature or not11:08
MonkeyDusterinaceus_  if all goes well, the system asks to remove to live disk and reboot11:08

Dr_Willisafter the installer finishes.. you normally reboot. :) to actually boot the installed system11:09
erinaceus_MonkeyDust: Nah, I meant during the installation, I was considering removing it so i could make another live disk with an updated version11:09
MonkeyDusterinaceus_  then my comment is not valid or useful :)11:10
Dr_Williserinaceus_:  it might be worth checking google and askubuntu.com and the forums if the ubuntu cd's have a toram option. I was thinkign it did at one time. but I dont think the latest releases has it any more11:10
DeskwizardGood morning everyone!11:10
DeskwizardI have a quick question...11:10
erinaceus_dr_jesus: Seeing as how im using something like 9.10 right now, that should be a problem11:10
MonkeyDustDeskwizard  quick question are the most difficult to answer, shoot!11:10
Deskwizardis there any way to make Archive manager on 12.04 play nice with tar.bz archives? :S11:10
erinaceus_oops, i meant Dr_Willis11:11
Deskwizardlol MonkeyDust11:11
Dr_WillisDeskwizard:  it should handle them.11:11
Dr_WillisDeskwizard:  what is it not doing?11:11
DeskwizardDr_Willis: gives an error message when I try to open them, work fine in Ark though ...11:11
randomDudeDeskwizard: do you have bzip2 installed?11:12
Dr_Willisim not clear on how Archive Manager differs from Ark.11:12
Dr_Willis:) could be ive never used archive manager.11:12
DeskwizardDr_Willis hehehehhe yeah, sorry for the noob GUI questions :P11:12
DeskwizardrandomDude: that might be it, never thought of actually checking since the message was something along the line that the archive wasnt a bzip2 archive11:13
Dr_Willisis arhive manager that app that lets you mount iso files and so forth?11:13
erinaceus_Does someone know why ubuntu mounts my usbdisk when i try to format it?11:13
Dr_WillisDeskwizard:  sounds like the file/archive may be missnamed11:13
cvrerinaceus_, how are you trying to format the drive?11:14
=== dvs is now known as Guest98824
DeskwizardDr_Willis, randomDude : Thanks for the hints guys, I'll look into that :)11:14
Dr_Willisive seen .gz files get missnamed to .bz and so forth.11:14
erinaceus_cvr: Nevermind, I managed to get him to format it.11:15
wylde_erinaceus_: the default udev behavior is to mount them. Just unmount it, and format.11:15
Deskwizardwill give that a go, worse comes to worse, you are right, and I just have to rename the archive before and after loll :)11:15
Guest98824Hey. Just a quick question. Im now using a Dell Studio XPS laptop with windows 7, but i want to install ubuntu. Is it best to to a full format/reinstall, or is it just as good if i use the "windows installer", ive got alot of files that i dont want to loose, but i can ofc make a backup, but it takes some time.11:15
=== Guest98824 is now known as dvs-

ubottuPlease don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.11:16
Deskwizardthat is indeed an important bug to fix :)11:16
dvs-Anyone? Ubuntu doesent run on ntfs? So is it possible to have to filesystem on the same fysical hdd?11:17
MonkeyDustdvs-  technically, it's possible, i guess, but not adviced11:18
dvs-ok, so you would suggest a full format and reinstall?11:18
Madpilotdvs-, with partitions, yes of course. You have an NTFS partition, then an ext3 (4?) partition for Ubuntu11:18
MonkeyDustdvs-  but linux uses partitions11:18
randomDudeMonkeyDust: that behavious is not exclusive to linux.11:18
MonkeyDustdvs-  and the linux partition will be formatted in ext4 or so11:19
cvrntfs usese partitions aswell11:19
randomDudebehaviour*11:19
Deskwizardjust for knowledge purposes, any OSes not using partitions?11:19
randomDudeno?11:19
wylde_dvs-: you would have to reszie your windows partition to make room for the ubuntu partition. hich takes time and is risky for your data. You should make proper backups regardless.11:19
dvs-so, it works just as good if i keep like 100 gb of my harddrive as NTFS (with all that is on it) and then convert the rest to ext3 for ubuntu?11:19
WawaiftyidAlthough I have configured Ubuntu to choose VLC each time I open a audio/video file it opens with the default player. How to fix that?11:20
randomDudeWawaiftyid: you should provide screenshots that demonstrate why you believe you have set vlc as the default.11:20
MonkeyDust!install| dvs-11:21
ubottudvs-: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate11:21
exicerHey guys, how can I see what is on my path?11:21
dvs-wylde_: oki, so its no more then a risk? What i was affraid of was that ubuntu wouldnt run as good on the partition then if the whole drive was ext311:21
Deskwizardanyways, Thanks a lot guys :) Have a nice day!11:21
erinaceus_exicer: What exactly do you mean?11:21
exicererinaceus_: I mean, how can I check where my terminal is looking for binaries11:21
cvrexicer, env | grep PATH11:22
wylde_dvs-: any time you manipulate partitions you risk losing data. Ubuntu can operate just fine on ntfs partitionsfor accessing data.11:22
erinaceus_cvr: Is there a difference to echo $PATH ?11:22
WawaiftyidrandomDude, Configuration → Details → Predeterminated aplications → Set «Music» and «Video» to VLC. It is in a Spanish Ubuntu, maybe I have translated bad.11:22
wylde_dvs-: proper backups should be made regularly regardless. :) I learned the hard way. Just trying to save someone else the same headaches11:23
dvs-Perfect, thanks guys. I did read the installation instructions, but didnt mention anything about this. Guess the only important thing is to make the partition for ubuntu large enough =)11:23
exicercvr, erinaceus_: I get different results from doing those commands - echo $PATH was more what I was looking for11:23
erinaceus_exicer: If you are looking for the path of one program in particular try "which prog"11:24
exicererinaceus_: That is incredibly useful11:24
ejoyes, "which" and "locate" should be mentioned to every new linux user!11:25

AbhijitNicekiwi, freedome comes with price and responsibility.12:22
alankilaNicekiwi: two reasons. 1) software is hard; 2) open source is in general terms very developer starved. Not enough people working on it12:23

SerythHey. Since I updated from Obuntu (openbox + ubuntu) 11.10 to 12.04 yesterday, I've not had a working flash player, which I need for work. I can't view any flash sites; youtube, for example. I know that YT have HTML5, but that doesn't help me. I've tried purging/re-installing flashplugin-installer, still nothing...I've tried downloading a tar.gz file and putting the files in the correct directories...still nothing...Weird12:24
Seryththing is that the flash tests say it's installed and working correctly. I'm lost, dunno what to do. Any ideas?12:24
Nicekiwialankila, :P12:25
feisarSeryth: as far as I'm aware Chrome has flash built in so you could install that, or do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted extras. Either of those should work12:26
Serythfeisar: Aha! Ubuntu-restricted extras! Thanks :D12:26

bairuihi, (ubuntu 12.04, unity) when I use the Super key for navigating between desktops, the small mini-desktop overlay stays in the middle of the screen until I press Escape or Enter. Is there a way to have it disappear (as it does with the default ctrl-alt-[left/etc] maps)?12:29

damms005MonkeyDust: I dont mind starting over. But how do i do that. I have a bad cdrom(that is why i am using wubi installed ubuntu)12:35
auronandacedamms005: you can only have 4 primary partitions, if you have windows then you only need the one ntfs for windows, the rest could be logical partitions12:35

bahrHi, I want to install 12.04 on a Sony Vaio CW2 laptop and I know that previously there has been some issues with the fan control, where the fan runs all the time and the laptop gets very hot. Is anyone running Ubuntu on a CW2 sucessfully where this issue is resolved? I would really like to use ubuntu as my main os :/13:24
sacarlsonmino123: that makes sence as that would be why you can't sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt213:24

MrNaz`i have a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 however when i plug my camcorder in via firewire dvgrab no longer detects it... i know this hardware all works on 10.04 but i just can't get it working with this version of ubuntu... can anyone help me trouble shoot ?13:27
MonkeyDustMrNaz`  firewire.... mac?13:28
MrNaz`no... dell laptop13:29
sacarlsonMrNaz`: I wonder if you can run the old 10.04 kernel on 12.04?13:29
MrNaz`sacarlson i would rather just use 10.04 than mess around with different kernels... 10.04 is a lts and supported until next year13:29
MrNaz`which would give me another year of "can deal with it later" attitude13:29
MonkeyDustMrNaz`  12.04 is lts too13:29
MrNaz`MonkeyDust yea i know that13:30
LjLusing the wrong kernel for your release is usually not a very good idea13:30
MrNaz`i'd prefer to get this firewire device working with 12.0413:30
MrNaz`LjL hence my preference to just use that release13:30
sacarlsonMrNaz`: ya I'm sticking with 10.04 until they have some things in 12.04 fixed up13:30
MonkeyDustMrNaz`  mixing versions != good idea13:30
MrNaz`yes yes i have no intention to mix releases13:30

MrNaz`where's the best place to ask for adivce on this matter? is it worth trying Ubuntu Studio?13:31
sacarlsonmino123: what's on /dev/sda2 and sda3 then?13:31
mino123and screwed everything13:31

mino123and I didnt have a backup13:32
sacarlsonmino123: ok at least now you know were you headed13:32
MrNaz`how would i go about determining if the firewire card here is supported by the new firewire stack ?13:32
sacarlsonmino123: that's why I keep all my stuf at github.com13:33
mino123yes.. lesson learnt this time13:33
mino123well actually13:33
mino123not everything got lost13:33
mino123at least the things in documents were automatically saved on ubuntu one13:33

bairuihi, (ubuntu 12.04, unity) when I use the Super key for navigating between desktops, the small mini-desktop overlay stays in the middle of the screen until I press Escape or Enter. Is there a way to have it disappear (as it does with the default ctrl-alt-[left/etc] maps)?15:39
deitarionI'm used to Gentoo and Portage. How do I either tell dpkg to just *#$@ing overwrite the file from the package or tell apt-get that I know what I'm doing and it should mind its own business and remove the one package before I `apt-get -f install`?15:39
ForgeAusdeitarion uh normally packages come as an "atomic" unit, apt-get install "package" usually replaces whatever was there with the package version15:40
ForgeAusI think15:40
Seveasdeitarion, can you do apt-get -f install and pastebin the output?15:40
hangdeadmanOn my laptop in ubuntu 12.04 I can click the bottom right side of my mouse pad to open a menu. is there a way to configure the botom middle to middle- click?15:40
KRomoi just ealized my processor is almost 5 years old lol and ubuntu runs great...windows did too but ubuntu makes it feel new15:40
Seveas(yes, it'll fail, I want to see the exact failure)15:40
deitarionSeveas: Tricky. The machine with the problem has no IRC client.15:41
ForgeAusKRomo yeah linux has a way of doing that occasionally :)15:41
deitarionForgeAus: A word of advice. Don't try installing GIMP 2.8 from the PPA using "upgrade" rather than "remove ... && install ...". It'll get wedged refusing to upgrade gimp because there's a version conflict with the old gimp-plugin-repository and refusing to remove gimp-plugin-repository until you fix the dependencies of the other gimp plugins.15:42
KRomoi used to upgrade every 2-3 years but this cpu is 5 years old and i have no plans for an upgrade15:42
KRomobravo ubuntu :)15:42
Seveasdeitarion, pastebin urls are easy to copy manually :)15:42
ForgeAusdeitarion fair enough I'm not much of a Gimp fan anyway... but I do wish you good luck15:42
deitarionSeveas: Copy manually how?15:42
xubuntu5what's better than gimp?15:42
deitarionSeveas: ...oh, wait. You mean manually write it down and key it in on this machine?15:43
Seveasdeitarion, you type it in...15:43
ForgeAusdeitarion if you really want to remove a package properly apt-get has a purge keyword to instead of remove15:43
Seveasdeitarion, yeah, paste the error on pastebin.com, and give us the resulting url15:43
deitarionForgeAus: No different. I tried "remove", "purge", and "autoremove". All refuse to do anything until "apt-get -f install" completes successfully.15:43
SeveasForgeAus, well, that won't work as long as apt is wedged15:43

ForgeAusshouldn't he do a sudo dpkg --configure -a  (I think thats the line something like that ... )15:47

Seveas(not a bad suggestion though)15:47
ForgeAusok you seem to have it in hand :)15:47

esing123I set the permission with sudo chown nobody.nogroup /home/*****15:48

esing123is that the reason?15:50
ForgeAusesing123 probably not, what are you trying to do? maybe you didn't configure the .conf file or have software to set up stuff like your workgroup instead?15:50
vuongdothanhhuyanyone help esing123? I have no experience on that topic. I use SFTP :D15:50
iktesing123, no, samba is a pain in general15:50
iktcan you access your shared files from windows by typing in the ip address?15:51
Seveasdeitarion, oh, it's not too bad. Let's remove gimp entirely: sudo dpkg -P gimp gimp-data gimp-plugin-registry15:52
esing123forge i put workgroup = WORKGROUP and I also entered the share dir into the conf. file15:52
vuongdothanhhuyif you use linux, why dont forget anything related to Linux. We can use SSH instead. Or even SFTP/FTP, then you can mount the FTP to Windows Explorer.15:52
deitarionSeveas: Thanks. "dpkg -P" is what I was looking for.15:52
Seveasdeitarion, add libgimp2.0 to that list (you want them all in one command)15:52
esing123ikl i try that sec15:53
Seveasvuongdothanhhuy, likewise. It's been a few years since I had to do samba.15:54
vinuHi, i accidently deleted partions of some drives, but it contain some important datas, can any1 please help in recovering that.15:54
deitarionNever mind. "dpkg -P" is refusing to remove those unless I manually copy-paste a list of packages that depend on them. How do I go one level lower and rip out the packages without even examining dependencies so I can then `dpkg -i` the new .debs without dpkg complaining about file conflicts?15:54
sateDoes someone know the error: "Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: 460: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xffffffff) == 8' failed!"? I got this by trying to open rhythmbox, the softwarecenter, the system configurations I guess, too, because nothing of all this works15:55
dsnydersvinu, you can try a program called testdisk15:55
Seveasdeitarion, hmm, there shouldn't be that many dependencies. Can you pastebin the output?15:55
Seveasdeitarion, one thing you can do is find the .deb files for the older version on archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gimp/ and dpkg -i those15:56
vinuk im trying, bt im not able to access the drives, still can i get the data's back?15:56
deitarionSeveas: It's my mother's laptop. She has a lot of GIMP plugins... and, to be honest, I'd find it less grating to reinstall the system from my Lubuntu Precise disk (12.04) than to run back and forth manually copying pastebin URLs.15:56
Seveasdeitarion, fair enough. Try the trick with the older .deb files though15:57
user101i have a vmware image of ubuntu 11.10 server, i'm unable to ssh, it cuold be iptables?15:57
Seveasuser101, did you install openssh-server on it?15:57
deitarionAlso, this is starting to feel like those "Ask the administrator." "But I am the administrator!" exchanges I remember from my Windows years. As a matter of principle, I insist on finding a (or writing my own) command to rip out packages without regard for dependency relations.15:57
deitarionI don't feel like being dependent on old packages still existing somewhere.15:58
Seveasdeitarion, yeah, dpkg can do that with --force-depends, but more problems lie that route15:58
user101Seveas, yes, at one point worked, then i think i update the system and don't work anymore, if i ping 192.168.1.2 give to me that respond 192.168.1.5715:58
user101if i ssh .57 don't work15:59
user101.2 neither15:59
deitarionSeveas: I've got all the new depends in /var/cache. The only problem is that the old version of one package has a file in common with the new version of a different one.15:59
Seveasdeitarion, well, --force-depends may just help you there15:59
deitarionI'll give it a try. I'd rather risk it and learn from it and maybe have to spend 25 minutes waiting on a Lubuntu Precise install disk to do its job than dance to the broken instructions of a program dumber than I am.16:00

deitarionSeveas: There. That fixed it. Say what you will about Gentoo's Portage (Dependency calculation is slow, no binary packages), but it's miles ahead of apt in a lot of ways (package DB doesn't hold an exclusive lock for the entire course of an install, clear "big red warning" mechanism for ripping out packages if you really know what you're doing, greatly superior 3rd-party alternative to apt-cache search, etc.).16:06

deitarionForgeAus: I rest my case. Not only can you browse packages while installing/removing with emerge, you can run multiple install/remove processes in parallel and, 99% of the time, the only problem you'll cause is sub-optimal use of resources during the compilation process.16:10
kate_roh well hopefully i'll get used to it16:10

MonkeyDustmirak  then rsync is what you want, it can also --exclude folders you don't want to copy16:14

zoogooI have just built myself  nice new pc and have windows 7 on it due to graphics drivers being well done. However i would like to put ubuntu on this pc as my main OS. I have 2 questions for you all. First off is it possible to disable the Unity bar and also is the ATI Radeon HD 7770 fully supported within ubuntu? all i want to play is unreal tournament through steamunder crossover games (this16:18
zoogooworks well in other distro's on other pc's)16:18
deitarionrabbi1: Yeah. The architecture is called amd64 because AMD designed it while Intel was puttering around with their Itanium architecture.16:19
ForgeAusdeitarion that output suits portage nicely16:19
MonkeyDustmirak  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1032296/16:19
ForgeAusdeitarion note apt-get doesn't have stuff like USE flags afaik16:19
Chuck_Norrisrabbi1: if you want ubuntu 64 bits download "ubuntu x86_64"16:19
rabbi1deitarion: thanks, but itanium are also 64 bit ?16:19
Timboslightly random question; where's the best place to start to get a patch included in an ubuntu package?16:19
deitarionForgeAus: Yeah. A little richer than what dpkg needs, but it's still like comparing Google and Bing as far as relevance and comfort go.16:19
Timbobug report on the package in launchpad?16:20
rabbi1Chuck_Norris: then, that's different16:20
deitarionrabbi1: Yeah. Itanium, AMD64, 64-bit PowerPC, etc. are all different 64-bit architectures.16:20
Chuck_Norrisye16:20
deitarionrabbi1: AMD calls it AMD64, Intel calls it EM64T, and people who want to be diplomatic call it x86_64.16:20
rabbi1thanks guys :)16:21
compdocitanium is a cpu that we were not going to be able to afford. its for servers. Intel liked it that way16:21
deitarionItanium also flopped because its 32-bit compatibility was unappealingly slow.16:22
* ForgeAus wonders what 128 bit will be like16:23
nUwbI have a question, I know how to tell if my pc is 32 or 64 bit in windows, how do I do that in ubuntu?16:24
dlentzuname -a will show the running kernel16:24
Chuck_Norrisguys the new version of "Beatbox" rocks give it a try: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/05/beatbox-music-player-sees-new-release-on-ubuntu16:24
compdocnUwb, in Windows, open the system control panel16:24
deitarionForgeAus: Not something to worry about for a while, I suspect. What with 64-bit addressing being capable of handling something like 2 exabytes.16:24
dlentzcat /proc/cpuinfo -gre -i lm will show whether your CPU is 64-bit capable regardless of what you16:25
dlentzre currently runnin16:25
Chuck_Norrisjust press the "info" buton and you will see the Beatbox's magic16:25
Chuck_NorrisnUwb: what is your procesor?16:25
nUwbdlentz: thanks16:25
dlentzsorry, should have been cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i lm16:25
Chuck_Norrisdlentz: tell ya =P16:25

eossHello, I AM IN /etc/network/interfaces and trying to add customer DNS to ubuntu 12.0416:26
MonkeyDustnUwb  what's the outcome of lshw | grep 64 ?16:26
eossfrom what i have gathered if i want to do that id have to make everything static including IP?16:26
deitarionChuck_Norris: 1. I like my media player's UI to be tall and narrow and nothing but a playlist to complement my media keys.16:26
eosscan someone give me an example line fo adding custom DNS for their wlan0 interface16:26
deitarionChuck_Norris: 2. Nothing but Audacious Media Player supports all the chiptune formats I love.16:26
nUwbMonkeyDust: give me a sec...16:27
dsnydersForgeAus, My guess is that it will be unremarkable.  What we lack in data path width, we make up for in processor speed.  The processor is not the bottleneck in most systems.  For most people, running email, browsers, office products and the like, even 64 vs 32 bit is not perceptible.16:27
Chuck_Norrisdeitarion: http://i.imgur.com/VsMbk.jpg16:27
MonkeyDustnUwb  use pastebin to show it to the channel16:27
eosswhy would ubuntu make it more difficult to change DNS16:27
eossim about done with this distro16:27
Chuck_NorrisnUwb: what is your procesor and how much ram do you have?16:27
nUwbMonkeyDutst: AH! That did it16:27
ForgeAusdsnyders I agree for the most part ...16:27
deitariondsnyders: Or it'll be remarkable in that it'll actually be able to run a web browser at reasonable speed with more than a handful of tabs open. :P16:27
dlentzdeitarion, i <3 audacious16:28
mirakcan I remount / as readonly even when under the desktop ?16:28
nUwbChuck_Norris: intel celeron D processor 36516:28
ForgeAusdeitarion no by then software will be so bloated beyond any exabyte limit :)16:28
nUwbit use to have xp on it16:28
ForgeAusdeitarion ok so I don't really believe that :) I was just being cynical for humor16:28
deitarionForgeAus: Point. I'm too used to running Lubuntu where everything but the browser is still lightweight and zippy.16:29
Chuck_NorrisnUwb: install ubuntu 32 bit16:29
ForgeAusis that the attraction to lubuntu I always wondered what the point was16:29
ForgeAusI'm mostly a kde person myself .. heavy but I find it comfortably functional for me...16:30
nUwbChuck_Norris: how can you tell what to install?16:30
cn28hfor some reason, after updating my 12.04 system my sound is super quiet and kind of low quality... googling around I see others with the same issue but no resolution.  Anybody here know how to fix it by chance?16:30
beatpanichi, when I go to youtube and try to play a video with flash plugin and alsa plugin container, it basically has intermittent sound, someone has experienced this behavior? thanks16:30
Chuck_Norrisaudacius make me remember windows musics players so, i don use it :D16:30
Chuck_NorrisnUwb: becouse this procesor doesn't suppor 64 bit16:30
vinuHey thanks MonkeyDust,Seveas. its really helpfull16:31
esingyo16:31
nUwbChuck_Norris: O.k.16:31
ForgeAusdeitarion also I came to linux from a windows background so that probably puts a whole different spin on stuff16:31
deitarionForgeAus: I used to be a devout KDE user until they replaced KDE 3.5 with KDE 4. After waiting through KDE 4.5, I decided that, if Konqueror was going to stay too buggy to be usable as a generic tabbed KPart harness anyway and KWin and Qt4 were going to stay far too sluggish and crashy, I'd switch away. (It helped that GTK+'s file dialogs had recently been fixed to no longer be horrendously sluggish on big folders)16:31
deitarionI also didn't take too kindly to the realization that, as one geek in a basement, I have more formalized quality control for my creations than they do and they don't see a problem with that.16:32
nUwbChuck_Norris: I actually bought a new box with windows vista but didn't have the heart to throw this one away :)16:32
ForgeAusdeitarion now that made sense, I always hated the kde3.5-4 switch but 4 is getting usable again ...16:32
slayer_hello, how do i restart my audio in ubuntu 12.10?16:33
slayer_/etc/init.d/alsa doesn't seem to exist16:33
dlentzChuck_Norris, audacious can use winamp skins, but i use the native gtk mode16:33
deitarionForgeAus: I've heard people say that every time they release a new version. I've decided it'd be easier to just get comfortable with LXDE and focus on getting things done.16:33
dsnydersForgeAus, deitarion,  If I wanted to try kde, is it simply an apt-get away?16:33
deitariondsnyders: Yes, though Kubuntu isn't as polished as some KDE-focused distros.16:34
dlentzslayer run sudo alsa force-reload16:34
nUwbChuck_Norris: I did what MonkeyDust suggested lshw | grep 64 and the output says "width: 64 bits"16:34
ForgeAusdsnyders my current linux is a kubuntu16:34
nUwbwhat does that mean?16:34
ForgeAusdeitarion really? like what?16:34
deitarionForgeAus: I forget. It's been a while since I looked into them. (I also think some of them might have been RPM-based and I despise RPM)16:34
ForgeAusdeitarion PCLinuxOS doesn't feel like its integrated at all, feels like linux wiht KDE slapped on top, I don't know anythinga bout Suse but kubuntu feels very much integrated with kde...16:35
ForgeAusdeitarion I'm going to start venturing into rpm's in a chroot jail16:35
dlentznUwb, celeron d 365 is s64-bit capable: http://ark.intel.com/products/27975/Intel-Celeron-D-Processor-365-(512K-Cache-3_60-GHz-533-MHz-FSB)16:35
deitarionForgeAus: The annoying thing about that is that RPM-based distros have no debootstrap despite having a package-building/testing framework (mork) which would really benefit from it.16:35
twig11I need somebody to take a look at my Xorg.0.log and see if you can see why I'm getting multiple ubuntu error messages ever since a failed attempt to upgrade my graphics to an ATI Radeon PCI card from the onboard intel graphics on a Dell Optiplex GX520. My current Xorg.0.log contents are at http://paste.ubuntu.com/1032321/.16:35
ForgeAusdeitarion I've avoided them like the plague until now... I think its time I tried it16:35
ForgeAusdeitarion they have rince and febootstrap I think not sure how current they are though16:36
deitarionForgeAus: I'd probably just mount an ISO in a VirtualBox VM to test out an RPM distro... at least initially.16:36
ForgeAusVirtual machines, been there do lots of that, I want to learn something :)16:36
nUwbdlentz: oh, i think i understand now16:36
dlentzopensuse is a good KDE distro, mageia 2 just came out as well and that is KDE-focused16:36
deitarionForgeAus: Hmm. I'll have to check my notes. Not sure whether I missed those or just dismissed them as unsuitable.16:36
twig11twig11: Just to be clear, I'm currently using the onboard graphics again and I do have 3D. I just get a bunch of System Problem dialog boxes popping up each time I log in and I'm having a hard time making sense out of them.16:37
ForgeAusdeitarion probably unsuitalbe at least I hope so16:37
nUwbdlentz: thanks16:37
dlentzyw16:37
deitarionForgeAus: As for VMs, I've had so little free time for so long that I tend to go for the targeted, high return-on-investment solutions.16:37
wolfgangHow do i uninstall somthing?16:38
deitarionwolfgang: GUI or console?16:38
wolfgangWhat do you mean?16:38
deitarionwolfgang: Do you want to uninstall using `apt-get` or using a GUI tool like Synaptic or Ubuntu Software Center?16:38
yeatswolfgang: how did you install what you installed?16:39
wolfgangGui16:39
wolfgangSoftware center16:39
qubit[0|1]anyone know what redwood-broker is ?16:39
deitarionwolfgang: Ok. Let me dig up some screenshots. (I don't help my brothers enough to have much experience with the annoyingly commercialized aspects of Ubuntu.)16:40
wolfgangOk16:40
ForgeAusdeitarion note PCLinuxOS is (or at least originated as) a Mandriva-based distro that uses apt-rpm (like an apt-get wrapper around rpm packages isntead of .debs)16:41
ForgeAusdon't ask me if it uses dpkg or not I don't actually know16:41
deitarionForgeAus: Huh. Interesting approach.16:41
ForgeAusits also a rolling release16:41
deitarionForgeAus: One of the reasons I went from Mandrake 10.0 to Gentoo one year after first switching to Linux.16:42
deitarionThat is, one year after ditching my dual-boot setup.16:42
deitarionwolfgang: Ok, I'm having trouble finding good up-to-date screenshots but try searching up the package you want to uninstall.16:43
wolfgangOk16:43
ForgeAusthis mageia is also rpm-based I haven't heard about this distro til now, just checking it out a little16:44
wolfgangdeitarion, found it16:44
deitarionwolfgang: Are you looking at a results list or at the page for it right now?16:45
wolfgangThe result list16:45
deitarionwolfgang: Try right-clicking it.  Let's see if the Software Center devs thought to put a context menu on it.16:45
wolfgangOh it says remove16:45
wolfganglol sorry16:45
zoogoois that gui script about for the gentoo install?16:46
zoogoosorry, wrong window16:46
ForgeAusoh mageia is just mandriva delveopers after they were dropped from commercial ... so its the neo opensource mandriva ...16:46

wolfgangWill that get rid of it all the way?16:46
hrmartinIs there a reason to add RAM on an old laptop running 12.0416:46

BlueChaoshow to burn up one cd using ubuntu 12.0416:49
wolfgangOk Won't get rid of my other stuff?16:49

dlentzBlueChaos, ubuntu comes with brasero, k3b is good too16:49

As per this post i edited rc.local and added: modprobe -r atl1c. now it doesn't freeze, but My ethernet doesn't work. What is going on here?16:59
hrmartindeitarion: ?? euh ! Ubuntu 12.04 LTS17:00
twig11v1adimir: I would have gone with Nvidia if I hadn't had this one lying around. From what I'm reading my Radeon card should be able to do 3d with the default ubuntu drivers though. However, it didn't work for me and I couldn't find any two sources that agreed on how to get it working. So I tried a bunch of stuff, some of which I didn't really understand and naturally ended up issues I couldn't undo.17:00
deitarionhrmartin: So Unity then. (In addition to Ubuntu, there's Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Lubuntu which use different software)17:00
hrmartindeitarion: your command says FREE 93 on the first line. seems low if it's 93kb (or is it Mb)17:01

mobilnoob11shut up17:22
mobilnoob11idiot17:22
mobilnoob11I have an actual question17:22
twig11wolfgang: The nature of tech being what it is, you should really have your data copied in at least 3 places if it is important and irreplaceable. My business data, for example, is backed up to two computers, an external drive, online, and occasionally to an encrypted flash usb drive I carry with me. It's pretty hard for any disaster to shut me down that way.17:22
deitarionwolfgang: Yes. hard drives > external hard drives17:22
v1adimirmobilnoob11: that's a good way to go about it, gr817:22

mobilnoob11you could just say that17:24
jrdnnwolfgang shop around more you can get like 2TB for 80 dollars nowadays17:25

wolfgangjrdnn: where at?17:25

Bahamanrhizmoe: did it really go so fast from 11.10 to 12.04 or is there some sort of different versions?17:30
deitarionmobilnoob11: If that fixes your problem, the best guess I have is that the currently-included version of the driver has a bug in it that causes your system to freeze.17:31

wolfgangOk17:35
deitarionJust don't use Sun Java 7 or IcedTea 7. They don't yet support it and you'll get a blank, black window.17:35
ejobut blank, black windows are so calming!17:35
deitarionmobilnoob11: Ok, so let me see if I understand the situation. Your system normally freezes, but removing that module stops the fixes, but it kills your wireless support and you need wireless?17:36
mobilnoob11no17:36

wolfgangI have a belkin that required it to port forward17:37
SwashBucklaGRUB2 question: I have set the TIMEOUT=0 and the DEFAULT=0 (Windows). Can I still boot Ubuntu?17:38
deitarionwolfgang: Ahh. Check if your router lets you do static IP on the router side. (Pinning a specific internal IP to a specific MAC address)17:38
wolfgangHow? the phisical router or do i check from comp?17:39
wolfgangdeitarion: How? the phisical router or do i check from comp?17:39
mobilnoob11So ethernet works, unplug ethernet = freeze. rc.local edited =  no freeze, no ethernet17:40
arkanabarwolfgang -- this is something you ought to do through your router's web interface.17:40
wolfgangOk so but my default gateway in url bar?17:40
mobilnoob11btw, sorry wolfgang.17:40
mobilnoob11I'm a jerk.17:41
wolfganghow?17:41
compdocarkanabar, can you attach the drive to another system and install Ubuntu to the point where its ready to reboot?17:41
wolfgangmobilnoob11: what did you do?17:41
arkanabarwolfgang -- I guess so.  You might also want to search the web, to see if yourmodel supports what deitarion suggested.17:41
sirriffsalotHow is Linux in terms of viruses these days?17:41
arkanabarcompdoc -- nope.17:41
wolfgangOk17:41
jrdnnsirriffsalot people can make viruses for pretty much any OS but there happen to be a lot less Linux ones17:42
arkanabarsirriffsalot: there are none.17:42
wolfgangNot sure what he did suggest though17:42
sirriffsalotHaha, contradiction alarm here... evidence please?:P17:42
arkanabar wolfgang: Ahh. Check if your router lets you do static IP on the router side. (Pinning a specific internal IP to a specific MAC address)17:42
wolfgangOk whats it mean lol17:42
deitarionmobilnoob11: I'm not entirely sure what that specific module is, but it sounds like it's probably your wired ethernet driver and, by removing it, you avoid a bug that's freezing your system.17:42
wolfgangI'm not to good with comps17:42
ravenrecent update within 12.04 xubuntu = NO network any more on eeepc 1005 ha - how to reparir that17:43
sirriffsalotarkanabar: I'm very unknowledgeable when it comes to viruses... supposing I got some virus that would screw a windows os up completely in my linux OS... what would happen?17:43
arkanabarthis means your router would assign a specific fixed IP (eg, 192.168.1.100) to the Mandatory Access Contol address of your ethernet card.17:43
DJones!virus | sirriffsalot17:43
ubottusirriffsalot: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus17:43
deitarionwolfgang: If you open up your router's web interface in your browser, there may be a panel where you can say "Always give IP address X to the network card with MAC address Y". Sorry for the delay. Had to run and help someone else IRL.17:43
sirriffsalotDJones: hmm.. ok.. Will check it out. But I'm having trouble believing that Linux doesn't need antivirus at all..17:44
arkanabarsirriffsalot: you'd have to mount the linux partition in windows, and run the  virus file.17:44
wolfgangHow do i get my default gateway?17:44
wolfgangto go to webpage17:44
deitarionsirriffsalot: I forget where I put it, but there's a list of something like 15 reasons that I wrote why Linux doesn't need antivirus.17:44
mobilnoob11deitation thanks. I will look into it further.17:44
sirriffsalotarkanabar: but the virus is programmed for windows OS, which is entirely different from Linux I would imagine.. how would it work?17:44
compdocsirriffsalot, they provide rkhunter and clamav for linux, so there must be a reason to do so17:44
wolfgangin windows it was ipconfig still same?17:44

jrdnnwolfgang learn bash and make a .sh file for non-Windows systems that does the same as your .bat file did17:50
deitarionwolfgang: Windows has "batch files" which are essentially pale knock-offs of what Linux has. (shell scripts)17:50
ejotypically windows batch files are composed of instructions to a windows shell.  Given that you probably don't have a windows shell on your linux machine, there's a mismatch there.17:50

ejoSidewinder1: if you have a ton of RAM and rarely fill it, you don't really have to go that large.  But if you want to experiment with enabling hibernation you do need to cover your entire RAM size and then some.  The old 1.5 to 2x recommendation was more applicable back when we had 1Gb or less on board and ordinary running of the machine frequently needed more virtual mem than physical mem.17:52

escottfunto_, blkid, fstab, and parted all look good. so the problem is either in menu.lst or something about the new kernel that is causing a race condition in bringing up sda. for someone like yourself still using grub1 i recommend doing the conversion to grub2. you are increasingly in the minority, and im not sure what the proper incantation is to make grub1 do a root-delay, but i do with grub218:49

funto_10.04 to 12.0418:50
dlentzkromo, it depends on your application, ext4 gives best performance generally18:50
funto_upgrade-manager -d or something like that ^^18:51
escottfunto_, your menu.lst does not reflect that18:51
funto_ah?18:51
escottfunto_, it only shows the 10.04 kernels. i suspect you need to do the conversion to grub218:51

twig11I'd appreciate any help I can get troubleshooting some errors that are popping up every time I log in to my Dell Optiplex GX520. It started happening after I made some changes to try to get an ATI Radeon PCI graphics card running. I couldn't get the card to do 3D, so I tried to revert my changes to go back to the onboard Intel graphics. Now, although graphics seem to work okay, I get several dialog windows popping up to tell me Ubuntu has experienced an internal e19:09
twig11rror. For starters, here's a pastebin of my Xorg.0.log: paste.ubuntu.com/1032321/19:09

jemarkDatz: i think you19:12
dan_hello19:12
l1nktwigli btw ati radeon grapihs ( i have the same ) have shit tier support on ubuntu, you're better of finding something else if you wanna make even a bit of use of your card19:12

DatzI feel like I'm using linux in 1993  :P19:14
dlentzDatz, check dmesg to see why19:14
jemarkDatz: which mice did you try? you tried serveral mice in several usb ports right, all have the same issue that you need to unplug them and plug them back in after you booted up?19:14

AnsiktHey, I got a computer with a hardware RAID.  Will it be possible to install linux and preserve the current RAID setup?19:14
Datzdlentz: too much output, what should I filter?19:15
jemarkAnsikt: why not?19:15
l1nkhow do I remove the Ubuntu One button from the list when I click on the message icon (upper right)19:15
dlentzDatz, you can pastebin it or maybe dmesg | grep -i alsa19:15
Ansiktjemark:  I've never done it, and so don't know if it can be done.  Is it involved?19:15
jemarkAnsikt: the OS will just see the disk space as once disk.19:15
Ansiktjemark:  Sexxxy19:15
sirriffsalotI'm trying to use youtube-dl with the --ectract-audio option but all the videos end up being 10.0MB and non-playable...?19:16
Datzdlentz: thanks. I'll try alsa first19:16
Datzdlentz: [    8.349972] init: alsa-restore main process (906) terminated with status 1919:16
escottAnsikt, real hardware raid or intel bios raid19:16
Datzwonder what status 19 is19:16
jemarkAnsikt: yes, since the controller created a virtual disk from more physical disks the OS will see the disk space as once disk, you just need to make the partitions and format the disk19:16
l1nkhow do I remove the Ubuntu One button from the list when I click on the message icon (upper right) ?19:17
dlentzDatz, yeah, that's what i thought. wish i knew the solution :\19:17
l1nkseriously, nobody knows?19:17
Datzdlentz: d'oh19:17
Ansiktescott:  Real hardware raid.  Separate RAID controller and errythang19:17
twig11l1nk: Not sure if this works on 12.04 but might be worth a try:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/58413/remove-ubuntu-one-from-messaging-indicator Google is your friend. Also, please try not to repeat the question more than once every 5-10 minutes. I'm waiting for an answer myself right now, but these people are volunteers.19:17
Datzdlentz: last think I did was install audacity... does that mean anything?19:17
dlentzi've seen a lot of bugs with that dmesg line19:17
douglhow do I make my kde taskbar at the bottom of my screen automatically hide on my 12.04 install?19:18
Ansiktjemark:  Badass, will do.  I had an old opensuse livecd that I used to test if the thing turned on, and it wouldn't mount any of the raid disks.19:18
Datzdlentz: interesting. May my mouse problem be related? It doesn't work until I plug it back in.19:18
AnsiktBut my intention was to use Ubuntu, and the old livecd was definitely an OLD livecd.19:18
alrea7any one use dreambox with ubuntu ???????????????19:19
wylde_dougl: right click on the bar, Panel Options >> Panel Settings >> More Settings >> Auto-Hide19:19
jemarkAnsikt: you would need to partition and format it first. So, live CD won't do, just install the OS and during the OS install you can partition and it will format the disk.19:19
dlentzDatz i don't think audacity has anything to do with it, it has something to do with your saved alsa settings not beingrestored19:19
douglwylde, thanks - will give it a try19:20
Datzdlentz: I see. Is there a way to revert back to default? ALso, why does alsamixer not run, any ideas?>19:20
Ansiktjemark:  So, I can't see the data on the disks?  I have to reformat them?  Bummer.  Why doesn't the liveCD see RAID?19:20
dlentzalsamixer won't run because of that bug19:20
escottAnsikt, did you load the required kernel module for the card19:20
Datzdlentz: I see..19:20
jemarkAnsikt: let me see19:21
escottAnsikt, its entirely possible that the livecd just doesnt have the raid controller modules, in which case you should use the !alternate cd which should have all kernel modules19:21
Datzdlentz: I saved my home directory when I upgraded. might an old alsa directory be the problem?19:21

arooni-mobilei recently had a hard drive crash and i only had a ntfs hard drive to do the backup on.  so i think all of my permissions for .* directories are 700... i have already experienced some apps behaving funkily.  in any case, is there any harm in doing a+r, a+w .. for all the .directories in my /home?19:22
escottarooni-mobile, yes19:22
dlentzsorry Datz , real life needs attending :\19:22
sirriffsalotI'm trying to use youtube-dl with the --ectract-audio option but all the videos end up being 10.0MB and non-playable...?19:22
arooni-mobileescott, theres harm in doing that?19:22
escottarooni-mobile, yes. various applications require that files only be readable by that user. you won't be able to use your ssh private key if it is 77719:23
jemarkescott: alternate is not a live cd19:23
arooni-mobileescott, ok with the exception of ssh19:23
escottjemark, im aware of that19:23
jemarkescott: so, you can't mount it via the alterate cd, right?19:23
escottarooni-mobile, anything else like ssh that would have private data that should not be readable by others might complain (or it might not check)19:24
arooni-mobileescott, got it ; thanks19:24
HackerIIbrb19:24
escottjemark, he might be able to mount by going to tty119:24
Ansiktescott:  No, I did not.  How would I know which modules my controller needs?19:24
mongysirriffsalot,  what is the exact command you are using.19:25
escottAnsikt, what kind of controller is it?19:25
sirriffsalotmongy: youtube-dl -t --extract-audio (url)19:26
mongysirriffsalot,  try youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format=mp3 -t (url)19:26
sirriffsalotmongo: sorry disconnected. after it gets to 100% nothing happens..19:27
sirriffsalotmongo: if I press enter it says it's done etc... but always the same problem19:28
mongysirriffsalot,  try youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format=mp3 -t (url)19:28
sirriffsalotmongo: just noticed that this same problem happens if I simply do youtube-dl (url) =(19:28
mongysirriffsalot, I think it needs ffmpeg installed also, if that might be an issue.19:28
sirriffsalotmongo: I have that=(19:28
sirriffsalotOr..19:28
sirriffsalotHaang on19:28
Ansiktescott:  Dunno.  Any commands I could use to find out?19:28
KentrelHey, my sound in Ubuntu definitely sounds more muffled than it does when I boot into Windows. Is this a mixer problem or something else19:29
escottAnsikt, lspci19:29
mongysirriffsalot, do you have the latest version ?19:29
sirriffsalotmongo: yes, I do have it.. it came with installing youtube-dl19:29
sirriffsalotmongo: 4:0.8.1 is what I have...19:29
mongysirriffsalot, latest version of youtube-dl?19:29
sirriffsalotmongo: when I type youtube-dl in synaptic only one option appears so...19:30
sirriffsalotmongo: 2012.02.27-1 is the one I have19:30
mongysirriffsalot,   ok good.19:30
sirriffsalotmongo: no, this is getting worse, how can this be good?:D19:30
v1adimirKentrel: might depend on your motherboard, if it's the integrated sound; so drivers.. but volume for me is lower - sound cleaner if that helps19:30
mongysirriffsalot, want me to try with your url ?19:30
jemarkescott: i am also wondering which hw raid controller Ansikt has in a pc...19:30
sirriffsalotmongo: sure, hang on19:31
Kentrelvladimir, but I reboot into Windows with the same motherboard?19:31
docmurDoes any one here have a good guide to set up bridge networking on a VM using KVM, on Ubuntu 12.04.  The ubuntu guide is horrible, I followed it didn't work  at all19:31
sirriffsalotmongo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMTtPhQUSgM19:32
v1adimirKentrel: it's different drivers.. in windows, they even come on the CD from the mobo manufacturer.. in linux they're 'some' drivers for that chip for example; might not be your-model-specific even19:32

komeil?19:32

v1adimirkomeil: using a VM software, but it kinda defeats the prupose of linux19:33
esingwhat is the current ubuntu desktop?19:33
esingLightDM ß19:33
esing?19:33
esingi just updated to 12.04 and I can chose between LightDM and LXDM19:33
esingwhat should i chose19:33
v1adimirkomeil: what i did was free up some space at the end of my hdd and used the livecd to dual boot xubuntu19:34
sirriffsalotmongo: disconnected again..:P19:34
mongysirriffsalot, I see your problem then...19:34
Ansikthaha, escott: lspci: command not found D;19:34
komeilv1adimir: i use vrtual clonedrive! but i cant find any button for install inside windows19:34
jemarkAnsikt: are you still here?19:34
mongysirriffsalot, you aren't getting the whole file if you get 10mb.  The one I'm getting is 60mb19:34
sirriffsalotmongo: obviously..:/19:34
sirriffsalotBut it says 100% and I ented and it says done:P19:35
v1adimirkomeil: it's a virtual machine, like http://www.vmware.com/products/player19:35
Ansiktjemark, yeah, just also talking to people IRL.  No lspci, it seems.19:35
sirriffsalotmongo: and I press enter*19:35
jemarkAnsikt: where did you type that command?19:35
escottAnsikt, you are in the livecd?19:35
Dr_Willisesing:  normal ubuntu defaults to lightdm19:35
esingDr_Willis I thought unity19:35
Dr_Willisesing:  you are confus3eing the LOGIN manager with the 'Desktop'19:36
Dr_Willis!info lightdm19:36

mongysirriffsalot, while downloading what does it say progress is.   xx of xx mb?19:36
sirriffsalotmongo: hmm.. when I simply try to extract video now it works, but only if I press enter without being told to etc...19:36
esingDr_willis oh I see !!!19:36
esingDr_willis so i better chose LightDM19:36
sirriffsalotmongo: the progress says the usual... 100% etc..19:36
esingbecause LXDM is not much devloped right !! ??19:36
Dr_Willisesing:  flip a coin.. i doubt if it matters much19:37
esingheh :)19:37
Dr_Willisits trivial to switch19:37
Dr_Willissudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm19:37
esinggood to know19:37
esingthanks19:37
Mr_MeatWadanyone here know of a good ip blocker like peerblock for windows?19:38
=== maxmande1s is now known as maxmanders
Dr_WillisMr_MeatWad:  you are wanting to blovk ips for what reason?19:38
esingi just read unity will be replaced again in 12.10 is that true ?19:39
cscsabahello, i made some aliases in .bashrc and they dont work, why ?19:39
cscsabahow can i activate them ?19:39
jemarkesing: replaced by what?19:39
Dr_Willisesing:  i think you miss-read19:39
hashok so im getting a disk storage warning andf the majority of files that are costing space under my log folder like 200GB of .log and .gz files am i able to delete any/some of them to free up space19:39
esingI read that unity-2D will be removed19:39
Dr_Williscscsaba:  log oyut/back in or 'source .bashrc' to load them19:39
escott cscsaba, what are the aliases, and how are you starting bash (normal terminal window?)19:39
mongysirriffsalot, I'm stumped then, it works fine here.19:39
Ansiktjemark, escott:  Oh, I'm dumb.  lspci wasn't in my PATH.  The controllers are a Promise Technology PDC20378, and a VIA Technology VIA VT642019:39
Mr_MeatWadfor many reasons19:39
Dr_Willisesing:  unity-2d is going to be replaced by unity/compiz... so is that really unity getting removed. :)19:40
LjLesing: that's a bit different from Unity being replaced19:40
cscsabaescott: thanks19:40
Mr_MeatWadbut i was just curious if anyone knew one that worked weel19:40
esingoh i see :D19:40
Mr_MeatWadwell*19:40
esingthanks :D19:40
Dr_WillisMr_MeatWad:  totally depends on what you are wanting to secure.. people hammering your ssh server = fail2ban or other tools can auto blacklist ips.19:40
esingok leaving this PC work, installing 12.04 takes 2-3 hours gosh ^^19:41
cscsabaescott: they are fine :)19:41
cscsabaescott: really thanks19:41
reisioa good password and keys should keep ssh secure19:41
wylde_Mr_MeatWad: you can create ufw rules to prevent outgoing connections to specific ips19:41
escottAnsikt, thats sata_promise the via is just your normal southbridge19:41
reisiokeeping it from being hammered is another thing19:41
jemarkAnsikt: it's a Sata raid contoller as far I can read that on in the internet19:41
BobMarleyhi, is here somebody using git? i have changed some files and i dont know hot to update them19:41
reisioBobMarley: that pretty much sums up git19:42
reisio-> #git19:42
sirriffsalotmongo: so am I, hang on19:43
mschdo i need to do anything to register a file in /etc/init with upstart? or will it be picked up automatically? (and started at the next runlevel change if i have specified that)19:43
Ansiktjemark, escott:  Seems to be using sata_via and sata_promise, as well as sata119:43
escottAnsikt, these say both are fakeraid of some kind but it seems to think the promise is a bit better than most fakeraid http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html19:43
sirriffsalotmongo: does this exact command work? youtube-dl --extract-audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMTtPhQUSgM&feature=related19:43
aakskalalaalahi guys, i'm going to buy a laptop with this ATI video adapter- Radeon HD 6370M.  will all drivers work fine and XVBA to accelerate HD playback the same as my VDPAU does on my curent nvidia laptop? thanks!19:44
mongysirriffsalot, trying it now19:44
sirriffsalotmongo: appreciate it:)19:44
mongysirriffsalot, bit slow my end.19:44
BobMarleyreisio, i am not able to send to channel #git ! i dont know why19:45
reisioBobMarley: pretty liberal modes in that channel, you're probably banned19:45
escottAnsikt, what i'm seeing would suggest you are better off just using these as sata controllers and using mdadm instead of trying to use their raid functionality19:46
sirriffsalotmongo: youtube-dl --extract-audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMTtPhQUSgM this one worked, gonna try with the extract audio..19:46
sirriffsalotmongo: scratch that lol19:46

JoniiHey, for some reason gnome-power-statistics doesn't close properly, causing all new attempts to view state of my laptop battery to fail(clicking battery icon and that "battery" text results in blank window being opened)19:47

Dr_Willishttp://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-expert-users/12532-command-list-files-less-than-equal-2k-size.html19:47
Dr_Willisgoogle is so handy.. ;)19:47
jemarkAnsikt: there is software in the controller... better to use the software raid in linux than a software raid controller because if the controller breaks, you can't recover the data easily.19:48
JoniiI can manually end that process, and then view battery state, but come on, it's a nasty bug no matter how you look at it19:48

twig11I'd appreciate some help with troubleshooting some weird errors I get at login. I think it's due to some changes I made  to graphics drivers trying to upgrade my intel onboard graphics to an ATI Radeon PCI card. Couldn't get the card to do 3D and I don't think I successfully reverted all my changes when I switched back to the onboard video. Xorg.0.log is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/1032321/19:49
jemarkAnsikt: for a hardware raid controller you would pay a bit more...19:50
BobMarleyreisio, yes i had to go here http://jk.gs/git/bot/voice.php and make some voice19:50
damms005I use find ./ -size -10k -exec ls -lh '{}' \; to get the output before rm them but I see files even in 153K19:50
reisioBobMarley: weird, maybe it has something to do with new users19:50
BobMarleyreisio, now i can talk there19:50
reisioBobMarley: weird, maybe it has something to do with new users19:51
damms005Dr_Willis: I use find ./ -size -10k -exec ls -lh '{}' \; to get the output before rm them but I see files even of 153K listed by ls19:51
sirriffsalotmongy: anything?:P Is highest quality by default?19:51
jemarkAnsikt: when I googled, I saw a thread in a gentoo forum from 200519:52
mongysirriffsalot, '-b' is default afaik19:52
Rickardo_I got "server.csr: No such file or directory" when  openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt19:52
mongysirriffsalot, so, yes.  still downloading...19:52
sirriffsalotmongy: issuing -b you mean?19:52
damms005Dr_Willis: I use find ./ -size -10 -exec ls -lh '{}' \; to get the output before rm them but I see files even of 153K listed by ls19:52
sirriffsalotmongy: hmm, strange.. what could that me?19:52
ClientAliveI should clarify: I have an alias set up so when I do "install..." it is really "sudo install..." same thing, sorry19:52
mongysirriffsalot, ok with your command it's using ffmpeg to convert to aac19:52
Datzdlentz: I think I found the root of the problem. I have a SD card reader. A mico to regular SD card was inserted without an acutall card. Post was taking forever trying to boot. I think it was creating problems with loading drivers too for some reason. Mouse back working, as well as sound.19:52
sirriffsalotmongy: TO aac?19:53
sirriffsalotmongy: it worked now and it is aac19:53
damms005Dr_Willis: I use find ./ -size -10 -exec ls -lh '{}' \; to get the output before rm them but I see files even of 153K listed by ls...I thought the -10 arguement for -size should match files less than 5kb19:53

sirriffsalotmongy: yeah with me too. but with the latest one it worked, but the quality is horrible, so trying with "-b" cheers:)19:54
Dr_Willisdamms005:  this seems to work for me -->  find ./ -size -4k -exec ls -lh '{}' \;19:54
sirriffsalotmongy: but ffmpeg can convert aac, so why does that matter?19:54

reisioaakskalalaala: seems to me exclusively offered in the east, so there isn't a whole lot of online chatter about it20:05
escotthash, logrotate rotates based on age, so if you have something like a bug that is causing frequent messages to be sent to the logs then your logs can blow up in size20:05

tbrockhey guys, having trouble getting 2 screens working in 12.04 with a radeon card21:21
tbrockits super slow and the settings don't stick after a restart21:22
wylde_rgenito: it means you need to install the kernel headers :P21:22
rgenitoahh, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic21:22
rgenito? ;D21:22
wylde_rgenito: which is common when compiling software.21:22
iTonnerreHi there21:22
rgenitothankw wylde_ :) your input does help a lot!21:22
iTonnerreI have a problem with mdadm: I replaced one disk of a two-disk raid-1 array and now it won't stop rebuilding because the remaining disk has a bad block21:22
bairuihi, (ubuntu 12.04, unity) when I use the Super key for navigating between desktops, the small mini-desktop overlay stays in the middle of the screen until I press Escape or Enter. Is there a way to have it disappear (as it does with the default ctrl-alt-[left/etc] maps)?21:22
iTonnerreIs there a way to tell Linux' md resync impl to skip over that bad block?21:22
rgenitowylde_:  WTF?!?!?21:22
rgenitolinux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic is already the newest version.21:22
kyle__Relondo: Yes. If it worked on the usb and not on the hdd, then you just need to install the right packages.  Browse through the package manager.  It even has a search feature.  Makes it easy.21:22
rgenitolooks like i already have the headers, but that one file is missing =[21:22
cromagcan i force a package to be installed from a PPA instead of the standard repos ?21:23
iTonnerre(I don't have any good copies of the block but it shouldn't keep me from syncing the rest of the data)21:23
kyle__iTonnerre: um.  It should reject the disc, not rebuild, if it's got a bad block.  I think.21:23
wylde_rgenito: odd, are you compiling source from the ubuntu repos?21:23
rgenitowylde_: locate modversions.h comes up with: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic/include/config/modversions.h21:23
Relondokyle_: Package manager?21:23
kyle__iTonnerre: You can always mdadm --fail /dev/md0 /dev/<bad disc> to remove it.21:23
iTonnerrekyle__: it's the _source_ disk which has the bad block21:23
rgenito...perhaps that's the actual file that the driver is looking for?21:23
Relondokyle_: Dude, I just installed Ubuntu yesterday.21:23
iTonnerrekyle__: the other copy was on a broken disk21:23
tbrockanyone?21:23
rgenitowylde_: after all, i dont see many sites that say anything about include/linux/modversions.h21:24
iTonnerre(Which I already removed, I'm trying to sync fromk the disk with the one bad block to a clean one)21:24
wylde_rgenito: likely, the configure or make script could possibly be looking elsewhere for it.21:24
kyle__iTonnerre: Errr.  Fsck it with badblocks prehaps.21:24
rgenitoty for your help tho wylde_ .. i really appreciate it21:24
iTonnerrekyle__: what do you mean, running badblocks on the underlying partition?21:24
LittleBallOfHateiTonnerre: badblocks on the one living disk with data then readd the blank disk21:25
wylde_rgenito: you can try 'sudo apt-get build-dep packagename' but that may only work for source from the ubuntu repos to resolve dependencies21:25
kyle__iTonnerre: depends on the fs you're using, but if it's ext2/3/4 you can fsck -f and pass it a -c, and it will check the filesystem, AND check for badblocks, and attempt to relocate the data that's located on the bad parts21:25
New0like what should be swap partition and what should OS? and what kind of part type?21:25
Chaos_Ze1ohello, i was here last night failing at networking wit iptables. i an tring to follow this guide:  http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html21:25
iTonnerrekyle__: well, on top of the md there's an LVM PV21:25
kyle__iTonnerre: After that it will avoid using the bad area.  Then maybe it'll recover.  Good luck :(21:25
rgenitowylde_: what i'm trying to install is a driver... gotta do "make" then "make install" (no 'configure')21:26
Chaos_Ze1omy uestion currently is near the beginning here it says "Finally, let $P1_NET be the IP network $P1 is in, and $P2_NET the IP network $P2 is in."21:26
esingthe only difference between lubuntu and ubuntu is the desktop environment ?21:26
kyle__iTonnerre: You could add another pv to the lvm, and move the vgs and lvs over to it, but that can be a pain.21:26
rgenitowylde_: this is what i'm installing :D http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm21:26
Chaos_Ze1owhat exactly does the "ip network" mean?21:26
esingso I can switch easily from lubuntu to ubuntu by installing unify ?21:26
cbmuserxt21:27
iTonnerreThe problem is: md tries to recover the array but when it hits the bad block it just stops the recovery and starts from 021:27
falstaffMy Wifi card can see all the networks but it will not connect.21:27
tbrockexit21:27
erinaceus_esing: As far as i remember you have to install gnome-desktop21:27
esingerinaceus I thought the new ubuntu uses no more gnome but unify ?21:27
iTonnerre(Which is quite a dull thing to do IMO)21:27
wylde_rgenito: .... from what I read that driver has been patched with those drivers already? Do you need something not supported alreadyby it?21:28
Relondokyle_: Gotta go. Thanks your your help.21:28
cbmuserthe version of date found in Ubuntu is broken, is that known?21:28
wylde_rgenito: sorry kernel 3.0.0-1921:28
erinaceus_esing: Oh, I'm not sure, i havent used gnome for a while21:28
esingitonnerre why?21:28
cbmuserroot@precise:~# date -d "1000 months ago"21:28
cbmuserdate: invalid date `1000 months ago'21:28
cbmuserroot@precise:~# date -d "2000 months ago"21:28
cbmuserMon Nov 16 04:56:13 CET 198121:28
iTonnerrekyle__: that may work, but I think there should be a way to make md resync ignoring that one bad block21:28
esingerinaceus_ you use ubuntu ?21:28
cbmuserthis has been fixed in Debian for a long time21:28
rgenitowylde_: ahh, so i'd need kernel 3.0.0-19 in order to have the path with those drivers?21:28
erinaceus_esing: Used to, recently swichted21:28
yooorelebrei os velhos tempos do Mirc agora... haha21:28
esingerinaceus then you should know which desktop environment is installed as default :P21:29
iTonnerreesing: because I think if you don't have a good source for a block it's better to just skip it than to restart the sync again and again21:29
kyle__iTonnerre: There may be, but I don't know it.  What comes to my mind is to use the FS level badblock avoidence, then let mdadm sync.21:29
wylde_rgenito: no if you're using a kernel newer than that the drivers should already be included21:29
kyle__iTonnerre: Also, if you're using xfs, know that it does NO checking or handling for bad sectors.  It expects high-end drives that have good error detection onboard.21:29

=== ulrichard is now known as 92AAA0CD8
esingitonnere are you talking about my question or something else ?21:29
iTonnerreesing: your question was just «why»21:30
erinaceus_esing: Well yeah, in ubuntu it's gnome im pretty sure. I believe unity is a seperate thing21:30
rgenitowylde_: damn, i'm using kernal 2.6.38-8-generic ... looks like i need kernel 3.0.0-19 :(21:30
esingerinaceus_ i think you are wrong21:30
iTonnerrekyle__: the setup is: md-raid -> LVM -> LVs with ext*fs or something else21:30
wylde_rgenito: ahhh you still on 10.04?21:30
rgenito...is there an apt-get install for a new kernel (+the header files) for ubuntu 10.04 ? :D21:30
rgenitoerr, this is 11.04 actually21:30
RasmusHi, I'm having a problem with intel 82830m and ubuntu 10.04, the driver wont work on my internal display, but with an external hooked up it works just fine and dandy21:31
erinaceus_esing: Could be as I said, last time i had to do soemthing like that, it just was a matter of installing the right desktop enviroment on you current ubuntu version21:31
erinaceus_And im afk, good luck21:31
wylde_rgenito: hmmm you try in backports to see if there's a 3.0.+ kernel21:31
kyle__iTonnerre: If you have room, you can move where on the pv (md0 in this case) the lv resides.  That may help, but it may not.  I really don't know what to tell you.  Sorry.21:31
rgenitowhich ubuntu has 3.0 kernel?21:31
esingerinaceus_ thx21:32
wylde_rgenito: 12.04 does 3.2.0-24-generic for me on amd6421:32
rgenitowelp, looks like i'm installin 12.04! :D21:32
bbrazil_Hi, I just upgraded from Lucid to Precise on amd64. Boot goes Lilo, loading linux, lots of dots and then hangs. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to debug this? I have single user mode via an older kernel21:33
wylde_rgenito: hehe, if you'd rather not just enable the backports in software sources and see if there's an updated kernel backport for 11.0421:33
rgenitowylde_: well, i have no idea how to do that honestly21:35
iTonnerrekyle__: I'm trying that now… makes things a bit harder though, which is probably obvious21:35
iTonnerrekyle__: thanks for the suggestion!21:35
rgenitowylde_: ...ok i figured out how to enable backports :)21:36
wylde_rgenito: I'm working from memory,(I'm on kubuntu right now) but you can open your Software Update app and use the "sources" button to add backports.21:36
Mike9863I'm using gnome-shell and the fglrx driver, and my system is slightly laggy. Videos also seem to play slowly. Anyone know how to fix this?21:36

rgenitoi'm on a headless machine btw @_@21:36
kyle__iTonnerre: I feel your pain.  I rebuilt from a similar failure a few weeks ago.  It also prompted me to move to raid6.21:36
rgenitowylde_: i'm on a headless machine btw @_@21:36
kyle__iTonnerre: big write penalty, but I can loose any two of the four drives, and not loose data.21:36
wylde_rgenito:  lol so you're working over ssh?21:36
iTonnerrekyle__: I only have room for 2 drives in the machine though :)21:37
rgenitowylde_: yes21:37
kyle__iTonnerre: Damn.  Time to garbage pick a P4 and make it a closet NAS server I'd say ;)21:37
rgenitowylde_: is updating the kernel in the ubuntu world easier now? :D21:37
rgenitowylde_: i'm over by the machine as well...it's right here. but there's still no GUI on it.21:38
iTonnerrekyle__: well, it's a regular 1U server in a regular server rack … paid space, so higher servers aren't feasible21:38
wylde_rgenito: basically yes. you can just apt-get install it. However it doesn't remove the old one. Which is good in case there are issues with the new one.21:38
esinghi21:38
esingwhy would ubuntu change to unity ?21:38
=== iTonnerre is now known as Tonnerre
rgenitowylde_: ahhh very cool! how do i boot to the new kernel?21:39
wylde_rgenito: reboot that's it. Unless you have another os installed it should use the new kernel21:39
kyle__Stupid apple ARD can't shut down a mac who's HDD is dying, and it's at the other location. My syslog server is getting filled fast :/21:40
wylde_rgenito: after the reboot just use 'uname -a' to verify the kernel used21:40
QbY2O21:40
kyle__Tonnerre: Ah.  Yea, rack space is pricey, I understand the desire to keep it small.21:40
QbY2I'm currently running a ubuntu live cd (TOR's TAILS), and I've got a problem with my MacBook Pro.  Are there any utilities that will give me the SMART status or can perform a good inspection of the hard disk?21:41
wylde_rgenito: I meant the grub menu will only come up if there are more than 1 os.21:41
rgenitoahh21:41
kyle__QbY2: smartctl -A /dev/sda or if you're in OSX smartctl -A /dev/disk021:41
kyle__QbY2: But if you're in OSX, you'll probably need to install smartmontools from ports.21:42
QbY2ok21:42
rgenitowylde_: so do i just do sudo apt-get install kernel3 ? :D21:42
rgenitohehe21:42
rgenito(i need the header files too)21:42
QbY2kyle..  i'm in ubuntu (live cd)21:42
QbY2kyle__: what package is smartctl in, i apparently don't have it.21:43
kyle__QbY2: OK.  If it's not there, apt-get install smartmontools21:43
wylde_rgenito: 'apt-cache search apartofthekernelname' to find the available packages21:43
wylde_rgenito: moment21:43
kyle__QbY2: You can also trigger internal drive tests with it, if it shows OK, but you don't beleive it.  smartctl -tshort /dev/sda (short test), or smartctl -tlong /dev/sda (long test, obviously)21:44
QbY2sweet21:45
QbY2kyle__: thanks a ton man.  one more question, i forgot what kind of drive is in here.  anyway to get that?  tried lspci and don't see it..21:46
LinTuxAnybody using GNURADIO with the DVB-T Dongle as an SDR Receiver?21:46
kyle__QbY2: Also, if smartctl shows the drive failed a smart test and is marked as failing, that's MORE than enough for an Apple Genius to swap the drive out for you under warnantee.21:46
wylde_rgenito: 'sudo apt-get update && apt-cache search linux-image-3'21:47
kyle__QbY2: I thought under linux it showed that in smartctl...but if not, hdparm -I /dev/sda and hdparm -i /dev/sda will both give you lots of info21:47

Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic22:24

ProtekNickzwubi = windows installer for ubuntu yes22:27
XDS20120what in the world are you talking about22:29
RelondoHow can I make my Ubuntu not require a log-in every time I close my laptop lid and reopen it?22:29
xanguaRelondo: set the preferences of that on Energy settings22:29
ProtekNickzXDS20120: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide this "wubi" right?22:29
Relondoxangua: I have it set to "When I close the lid: Do nothing".22:30
XDS20120ProtekNickz:  is there another wubi i don't know about ?22:30
ProtekNickzXDS20120: well as far as i know nope, but when i said you installed it on your windows, you sounded confused and said what?22:31
sjohnsonhi.  how does one use apt-get to find out what package it might install, without installing it?22:31
Relondoxangua: Would my being on Wubi change anything?22:31
XDS20120ProtekNickz:  you are making absolutely no sense22:32
WillPittengerIs 12.04 Natty?22:32
XDS20120there is only one wubi22:32
xangua!12.04 | WillPittenger22:32

wylde_sjohnson: 'apt-get -s install packagename'22:32
ProtekNickzXDS20120: are you serious, wubi install's on top of windows yes, so you can use ubuntu in a window get me?22:32
xanguaRelondo: never used wubi, kind of acts strange22:33
wdp_is it normal, that some menubar's are gone in ubuntu (dunno how else to name that) i just installed pidgin, xchat and sylpheed - none of these has a menu bar at the top and I have no clue how to enable that one.22:33
XDS20120ProtekNickz:  yes i'm serious22:33

wylde_wdp_: unity uses globalmenu. Whichever app is focused their menubar will be on the top panel22:34
sjohnsonwylde_: thanks22:34
wdp_wylde, so removing unity will do the job?22:34

GNS3TalkGents, my Ubuntu 12.04 boots up when connected to my AVR (media receiver) but and the receiver detects a signal from it when at the boot loader stage. Once it goes bound that, the receiver loses the signal! What's strange about it is that if I unplug the HDMI cable, the PC boots fine and it event detects the receiver if I plug the HDMI cable AFTER it completed the booting up process. Has anybody come across this before?22:54

meoblast001hello. i'm a little concerned with what Ubuntu (probably Unity) must be doing to my machine23:28
slobad2323I installed from repos yes23:28
lorddeltaSolarisBoy: I doubt it. I've never used Zephyr, it looks like some sort of chat program.23:28
=== LordH3lment is now known as theborger
lorddeltaI don't know what the eCryptfs thing is.23:28
lorddeltaI think I've had it almost ever since I installed Ubuntu23:28
wylde_slobad2323: config files in /etc/apache2 /etc/apache2/sites-available23:28
SolarisBoylorddelta: not sure either - do you use an encrypted file system?23:28
lorddelta...I know what eCryptfs is23:28
lorddeltaYes23:28
meoblast001occasionally (i can't seem to reproduce any case, because it's entirely spontaneous), the entire system will lock up (similar to what a fork bomb will do) and my hard drive activity light will go solid... this ONLY happens if i'm running Unity though23:28
lorddeltaHome directory is encrypted23:29
meoblast001i left for a while and this happened, and when i came back, the hard drive activity light was still solid23:29
wylde_slobad2323: you would edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and modify the docroot, then restart apache 'sudo service apache2 restart23:29
SolarisBoylorddelta: what are the symptoms of the "error"?23:29
SolarisBoywhats the result?23:29
slobad2323Is that synonymous with apachectrl restart?23:30

wylde_slobad2323: not sure, I always use the service method23:30
lorddeltaLike I said that's the only issue I'm seeing now23:30
slobad2323wylde, Thanks for pointing me to sites-available. I've not stumbled across apache configured in a modular way like this before. I will have to check it out and make sure I understand exactly what's going on here.23:30
SolarisBoy' Valid eCryptfs headers not found in file header region or xattr region, inode 15081357'23:30
SolarisBoyits referring to a specific file/folder23:31
wylde_slobad2323: np, there's lots of documentation floating about for apache on ubuntu :)23:31
