[00:00] Zoohouse, sorry, you got me confused in the cloud, ubuntu-one is a cloud service too [00:00] I just brought a probook 4530s i hope it can work with ubuntu [00:00] sacarlson, no i just replaced what was there [00:00] How do I disable grub2's graphics? [00:00] EDawg878_: That's strange. Are you on your local disk? Anything unusual about the filesystem? [00:00] graham_king: nothing out of the ordinary [00:01] shaneo: well so that line exists in ports.conf; so your page is visiable to you, but not to us? [00:01] adamk: the ubuntu screen? [00:01] sacarlson, page is not visible at all right now [00:01] EDawg878_: What does "file " say? [00:02] shaneo: changing what you did in ports.conf and 000-default should have worked [00:02] EDawg878_: And what permissions does it have now? [00:02] shaneo: did you restart apache2 after the changes you made in /etc/apache2/* ? [00:02] sacarlson, ok well i fixed it to run on 80 and is now accessible by all but its wicked slow [00:02] LittleBallOfHate: The boot menu, right after the BIOS POSTS. It goes high resolution, and I'd like it to stay in text mode. [00:02] sacarlson, yup [00:02] xubuntu5 everything was cool before the reboot [00:02] graham_king: /home/orbitraiter: directory [00:03] sacarlson, but still getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1034703/ [00:03] graham_king: also everthing in the folder is owned by root [00:03] adamk: so you don't want X to start or just not the hires console framebuffer? [00:03] graham_king: including the folder itself [00:04] I want both X, and I want KMS to kick in at the console. [00:04] I do not want the high resolution GRUB menu. [00:04] graham_king: im trying to follow this guide about sftp http://www.minstrel.org.uk/papers/sftp/builtin/ [00:04] graham_king: the problem is that the user can connect but not write in the folder [00:06] EDawg878_: If you ls -al on that folder, are you _sure_ it's not worked? [00:06] adamk: sudo vim /etc/default/grub [00:06] shaneo: I'm not sure what file I looked at above for your pastebin but I failed to see a line in your virtualhost with something like ServerName freenet.surething.biz [00:06] should be drwxrwxr-x [00:07] jordan_u, hi, are you available? [00:07] anyone here familiar with openoffice/libreoffice? I need to create a style that changes the font of the selected words in a paragraph but retain all the other properties. At the moment if I try that, the whole paragraph changes font. Help? (#libreoffice seems quiet) [00:09] graham_king: its drwxr-xr-x [00:09] graham_king: drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 [00:09] sacarlson, i use a forwarder from based of my public ip should it be set also? [00:10] EDawg878_: Sorry I'm out of ideas as to why the chmod didn't work. Hopefully someone else can help. [00:10] *scratch the from sorry === EvanR is now known as Guest4231 [00:10] EDawg878_: Wait one sec, it did work. That's 755 [00:10] You want 775 or 777 [00:11] sacarlson, so maybe set my forwarder address as virtual host in default and 000-default [00:12] graham_king: i want it to be writable by the user [00:12] hey so does anyone know how to rotate a screen upside down using xinerama? [00:12] shaneo: I'm not sure, I forward to other part of my site but each has it's own name, it might work with your method I just don't see the whole picture [00:13] EDawg878_: The chmod worked. You chaned it to be writable by the owner only, and it is. The owner is root. [00:13] shaneo: maybe you use some kind of proxy setup? [00:13] I don't understand that sftp guide, it's strange it's asking for the users' home directory to be owned by root. [00:14] graham_king: im kinda confused according to http://www.minstrel.org.uk/papers/sftp/builtin/ the folder needs to be owned by root but how can the user modify files? [00:14] I'm confused too :-) [00:14] I'm probably missing something about that guide, or that guide is missing something. [00:15] SFTP works out of the box on ubuntu [00:15] sacarlson, yeah that could work ill have to look into it all i want to do is host my wp from my local server and its turning into such a pain [00:15] hi! something is wrong with unity in my ubuntu 12.04. I'm using Cairo Dock and I hide unity launcher, because I don't like it on the left side. So, I set it to be hidden by default, and it should appear only if I go right to the up left corner. But, since a few days, it suddenly appears and stays in front of everything (even maximized windows) and some bugs appear. Specially, some pages on Chrome are frozen, and I can't roll down to see next part of the pa [00:15] ge. It's something difficult to explain and I can't find a solution to the problem. Someone knows what can be happening? Thanks a lot! === usta_ is now known as sevenhill [00:15] EDawg878_: What LittleBallOfHate said, you may not need that guide. [00:16] LittleBallOfHate: im trying to make it so the user is chrooted to the folder escott told me to follow that guide [00:16] EDawg878_: oh so they can't run around on the filesystem? [00:16] shaneo: if your envirnment is normal it shouldn't be very difficult, nothing special about wordpress that makes it hard [00:16] LittleBallOfHate: yeah [00:16] hey guys Im new to ubuntu, but sudenly having some major problems and anything Im trying isnt fixing it :( [00:16] EDawg878_: not sure off the top of my head [00:17] oiie [00:17] hmmm [00:17] I can't install ubuntu with the wubi or the installation CD. If I use the wubi, the computer restarts immediately after I choose ubuntu at startup. If I use the CD, it does nothing - Windows starts as normal. Any ideas? [00:17] shaneo: I just use my home ubuntu as the host of wordpress from my adsl link [00:17] sacarlson, yeah all in all its not really wp i guess but apache2 keep getting the same error when restarting apache2 which i belive is affecting the speeds [00:17] Anything shady about teamviewer? [00:18] sacarlson, thats how im doing it also :) [00:18] LittleBallOfHate: So, yes, I edited /etc/default/grub, and I set GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 and then I added console=ttyS0,115200 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. [00:18] shaneo: I get those errors also but ignore them if it starts [00:18] adamk: should be good [00:18] adamk: update-grub [00:18] I then ran 'grub-mkconfig' [00:18] Ahhh. [00:18] God, editing /boot/grub/menu.lst was so much easier. [00:19] sacarlson, ok [00:19] adamk: yeah I miss that [00:19] shaneo: but I don't know how any one can get into your site as it will only allow localhost, is that just so you can test with no others access? [00:19] LittleBallOfHate: Thanks, looks like it's rebuilding the menu now. [00:19] sacarlson, anyone can access my site [00:19] shaneo: ok what's the site name I'll test it [00:19] anyone know why all my menus keep flicking including desktop bar-cant shut own etc as all the menus then flick up simultaneously, have same problems with things like dropdown boxes-cannot select the appropriate one!? [00:20] LittleBallOfHate: And that did it. Thanks again. [00:20] sacarlson, mind if i msg it to you not really ready to take traffic yet [00:20] adamk: cool [00:20] shaneo: sure no problem [00:21] any ideas guys? === Hasie is now known as blackshirt [00:27] how do i remove an app from the launcher without a 2 button mouse? im on a macbookpro [00:28] three fingers click ? [00:29] * mz|` never used a mac. [00:30] mz|`: three finger click appears to work [00:31] chromium in the PPA is at version 18.0.1025.151~r130497-0ubuntu0.11.10.1 and hasn't been updated for almost 20 weeks, why? [00:33] killown: I guess cause you can get it from google? [00:33] sacarlson chromium != google chrome [00:34] killown: opps [00:34] does anyone know why i'm getting a grey screen for a desktop when using vncviewer? [00:34] killown: Sounds like a question for the maintainer. [00:35] ki7rw: grayed out screen normaly indicate that the process has responded slower than expected [00:36] Hello. [00:37] sacarlson: well, it's still grey with an X for a cursor [00:38] woe unto my 12.04 install , my im getting some kind of DBus SSO error crashes both my Ubuntu one and my Software Center [00:38] ki7rw: but leaving that window the rest of your system runs normal? [00:38] yes [00:39] ki7rw: sounds like a stalled app [00:39] i get a normal desktop when using that machines crt [00:40] ki7rw: I guess with vnc it could be a connectivity problem or just slow connection [00:41] it worked fine when i had mandriva 2010.2 on the remote machine but hasn't worked after removing mandriva and installing ubuntu 12.04 [00:42] whats up slowz [00:43] taking a break from yahoo? [00:44] ki7rw: best to stick with what works [00:45] I have a quick question. I don't know if it is appropriate to ask it here, but... I am trying to compile Kernel 3.4.2; I enabled many options with XConfig; now, when I invoke 'make', I receive an #error "Cannot use generic cmpxchg on SMP". I don't want to disable SMP support, so my Q is which option(s) should I disable to not be using CMPXCHG? Please tell me if I shouldn't be asking such questions here. Thank you. [00:46] heh, i've changed all my other machines to ubuntu [00:46] yes [00:46] i don't intend to give up yet and roll everything back to mandriva [00:46] Hello again. [00:47] How do i match the packages installed on one computer to another and vice-versa? [00:47] !clone | exiff [00:47] exiff: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate [00:48] Oh! How convenient ! thank you :} [00:49] could someone tell me or forward me to a place i can get assistance troubleshooting my torrent problem? [00:51] subcool: best guess it's your ISP [00:51] salut!

How do I change the default browser to something other than the choices present? Using 12.04. [00:53] with Unity. [00:53] fleakite: install a browser ans set it depault in Prefered Apps [00:53] subcool: try reboot your adsl box see if it does a short term fix, but it will again overload if it's a popular torrent file [00:53] join #ubuntu-cn [00:54] Please read my question properly xangua :) [00:55] join #ubuntu-fr [00:55] I want to set my default browser to a launcher of my choice. Not from the choices present in the "default applications" window [00:55] fleakite: i did, do you have any doubts¿ [00:55] bonsoir! [00:55] Hi! someone knows if there is a theme for unity similar to the login screen theme? (that is, semitransparent panel, light icons...) thanks! [00:56] Anyone?

How do I set this as my default browser? [00:56] comment [00:56] sacarlson, i;ve done that.. hasnt worked. Im use to messing with vuze to limit connects to high bandwidth- but.. when testing the ports,, i keep running into port issues... [00:57] kutaragi: /join #ubuntu-fr [00:57] kutaragi, bonsoir, cliques #ubuntu-fr [00:57] xangua: thanks, I knew that, but I thought there would be a theme to have it just as the login screen [00:57] Can I use chrome or firefox remotely through ssh? When I google chrome on ubuntu all I get is gui stuff. [00:57] right cliques [00:58] innociv: yes ssh -X [00:58] Hello (again). [00:59] AGTT: try start compile with the settings from your ubuntu build then modify that [01:00] Hm looks like I can't do that on putty then? [01:00] What about a VNC, maybe? [01:00] AGTT: do you know were your present kernel build config is? [01:00] nevermind i think i found it [01:00] Thanks either way! [01:01] innociv: you have to have an X server on the local pc, if you do you can use the -X flag with ssh to run remote gui apps locally. [01:01] innociv: oh on windows I don't think they have a X server to run the remote on [01:01] I used to do such things many moons ago using cygwin [01:01] Well, to be more specific, I am trying to compile manually, and the defconfig does not satisfy me, so I was trying to make xconfig. And just to let you know, I am trying this on Debian; I hope that doesn't change much/anything. [01:01] sacarlson, my bad-- whatd i miss [01:02] AGTT: yes I know but don't start from scratch make small changes at a time from what you know works [01:02] I'll have to try in a bit and see.. [01:03] I just accidentally deleted a directory called /etc/rc1.d. what did I lose and what does it do? [01:04] AGTT: there are so many conflicts that can be created in the kernel if you try to create a total custom compile config [01:05] @sacarlson: No, I don't know where my current kernel's .config file is. [01:05] AGTT: google the standard location that ubuntu puts it, I forget but know it exist [01:05] I tried researching a bit, but it didn't provide much aid. [01:06] Well, I am actually using Debian. [01:06] AGTT: cp /boot/config-`uname -r` /usr/src/linux/.config [01:07] AGTT: well if they are diff then best google the debian location but I think it's the same === yakko_ is now known as yakko [01:09] whats some good music players that are light weight [01:09] AGTT: also that config will probly only work in a range of kernel versions before it breaks the build [01:10] superuser: very light would be aplay that is only a command line player [01:10] ok, can someone help me with this STUPID script- IDK WHY!!! its still on the guide. THIS: " http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Natty#VNC " says to do this "x11vnc -forever -rfbport 5900 -rfbauth ~/.vnc/x11vnc.pass -o ~/.vnc/x11vnc.log -loopbg -display :0 [01:10] " which does this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1034767 [01:11] is there a gui frontend for it sacarlson?

How do I set a custom launcher as my preferred browser? [01:15] I don't see the option under "preferred apps" [01:15] Well, I thought that there is an easier solution. It took me some hours to configure. [01:16] superuser: P3? pentium 3? see what's in the Lbubuntu repo, they setup all the small light stuf [01:17] hmm ok, whats the apt line for it?

It's set to use it on both my router and in the Network Connections utility. Is there a way for me to check? [01:25] Mike9863: you can check in the network indicator, clic on it and select to shot the info about the conection [01:25] Mike9863: my guess is that you provide a name dns address with no results and maybe root defaults to verizon your ISP [01:26] superuser, you have been directed to a link with such. please stop asking for crunchbang support here [01:26] superuser, use alis to search for their channel [01:26] superuser, /msg alis list *crunchbang* [01:26] ill come back later and say i have ubuntu lol [01:26] superuser: audacious. #crunchbang [01:27] Ok... am i missing something? - i am trying to connect networks, my Fios Router is the modem, behind it i have a netgear which has a couple systems. I am trying to ssh, vnc, etc into a machine behind the netgear router. But it appears i dont have open communications to the comps behind the router.. [01:27] Hi, I need to use a website that uses some java applet or something in Firefox, I'm using 12.04 Ubuntu 64 bit, what should I install? [01:27] xangua & sacarlson : I'm looking at the network window and under DNS it says 192.168.1.1 and 8.8.4.4. The first IP should be 8.8.8.8. Could this be the cause of the issue? I'm not sure why it says that. [01:28] Mike9863: could be you have auto dhcp set in network settings. if so on aquire of dhcp ip it will provide and posibly overwrite your dns address [01:29] subcool_: you will have to forwars the appropriate ports on the netgear. Also, offtopic for this channel. Just sayin' [01:29] forward* [01:29] im just keeping busy while i wait for help on my ubuntu issue [01:29] i found out my issues- it has to do with my fios router- its only forwarding individual ip's not a range :/ [01:29] subcool_: did you setup port forwarding in your router? [01:29] sacarlson: By default it was set to Automatic (DHCP). I changed it to Automatic (DHCP) addresses only because that's what I saw to do in a tutorial. Which setting should I make it, manual? [01:30] sacarlson, yes === Roasted is now known as roasted [01:30] Mike9863: in the settings there should also be a box to override dns settings [01:30] Question - when I mount a samba share on my laptop, an entry is populated in .gvfs in accordance with the samba share in question. When I do the same on my desktop, no entry pops up in .gvfs, which has been causing some errors with certain things from working (such as VLC streaming videos from my samba share). Any idea why .gvfs refuses to populate anything? [01:31] Mike9863: what tutorial¿¿ google's tutorial¿ [01:31] is it possibleto convert an ext4 disk to xfs without formatting? [01:32] subcool_: so you found your issue then it's soulved or it's a config problem with your router [01:32] sacarlson, depends, which issue? [01:32] subcool_: are we working on two problems? best to work on one at a time or it can confuse us [01:32] technically 3.. [01:33] lol [01:33] i cant work on 1 at a time, ill never get anything done. [01:33] i have that vnc issues,.. and communication issue to the second network issue [01:33] aside from a torrent forwarding issue [01:33] subcool_: the channel has slowed a fair bit, I'm betting this would be a good time to re-iterate your inital query. [01:34] subcool_: well that's my secreet to solveing things I break problems down to the smalist parts and fix one at a time unless they are all connected [01:34] ok, can someone help me with this STUPID script- IDK WHY!!! its still on the guide. THIS: " http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Natty#VNC " says to do this "x11vnc -forever -rfbport 5900 -rfbauth ~/.vnc/x11vnc.pass -o ~/.vnc/x11vnc.log -loopbg -display :0 [01:34] then there is.. [01:34] Ok... am i missing something? - i am trying to connect networks, my Fios Router is the modem, behind it i have a netgear which has a couple systems. I am trying to ssh, vnc, etc into a machine behind the netgear router. But it appears i dont have open communications to the comps behind the router.. === LargePrime is now known as Guest85955 [01:35] subcool_: lets work on the secound as that is probly the problem of both [01:35] and then there is my NAT issue with my torrent... - i have opened and forward the ports for the torrent, but- it still remains to have an issues [01:35] the second one would be easy if this was a cisco- im just trying to open all communication to the second router.. [01:35] subcool_: and again the nat torrent sound like it would perform better with correct port forwarding [01:36] Hi, all! I'm using a utility called Boot Repair. It's telling me to "install [mbr] packages, then try again." Anyone know how to do that? [01:36] i have individually forwarded ports for the torrent.. [01:36] subcool_: just curios, are you using all of the local network ports on the netgear? [01:36] subcool_: my router has the option to forward sets or all ports, maybe you should look at the manual of your router [01:36] wylde, well, id like to them to be open... [01:37] how do I mount a .bin iso in ubuntu without terminal (like with a gui) [01:37] subcool_: if you are not, then you can attach the network through the local ports and not have to worry about port faorwarding on it. [01:37] wow typos >.< [01:37] sacarlson, its a Verizon fios router- .. Verizon is known for being stupid. [01:37] wylde, i think i am confused on what u mean. [01:37] Hey, channel. How can I set an arbitrary resolution for my display? [01:38] rawfodog: double click the iso file or if that fails bring it up with fileroller [01:38] subcool_: the second router(the netgear) sound like you are using it something like a switch. [01:39] thanks [01:39] BuntZooZoo: in system>preferenc>monitor there should be a method to select res of your screen [01:39] wylde, yes and no- im using it as a router to keep safety between the two [01:39] subcool_: if so, if you were physically connect it to the modem/router using a "local" port (meaning not the wan port of the netgear) oh and disable dhcp on the netgearthen you won't have to bother with forwarding ports on the netgear [01:40] subcool_: ahh ok then [01:40] sacarlson, I'm actually running xubuntu. The config utilities are different. Was hoping for an "under the hood" method. [01:40] Last time I messed with X was before the days of x.org ... [01:40] oh- ya.. i've done that.. that cuased CRAZY hell- becuase of this STUPID verizon router. === LargePrime is now known as Guest77241 [01:41] so i thought this would be quite simple, if it were cisco, just forward ALL traffic to the router- one IP: Router [01:41] For some reason, I cannot unmount /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6 using GParted. [01:41] but- i could also not be using the router correctly. [01:41] Coyote: would those possibly be a a logical volume and a swap partition? [01:41] subcool_: maybe you need pictures http://www.google.co.th/search?q=verizon+fios+router+port+forwarding&hl=en&gbv=2&prmd=ivns&source=univ&tbm=vid&tbo=u&ei=x0zVT87_BYWzrAeD65n8Dw&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBgQqwQwAA [01:41] Hi, all! I'm using a utility called Boot Repair. It's telling me to "install [mbr] packages, then try again." Anyone know how to do that? [01:42] I have wired connection probelm [01:42] Coyote: in which case unless you boot from a livecd, will be in use so you cannot unmount or manipulate them. [01:42] i tried diffrenet settings [01:42] t0ntin...no but why are you using Boot Repair? failed install or linux or doze? [01:42] do you have anything more than tat [01:42] lol - sacarlson ill take a look [01:44] don't you have any idea? [01:44] t0ntin: I don't know anything about this boot repair, what is the reason we are running it? [01:45] darbe: it's not pluged in? not enuf data to compute [01:46] it is working in school [01:46] sacarlson: this one is diffrent laptop [01:46] darbe: as default it should have dhcp auto ip set, do you have a dhcp server on this line? [01:47] i was trying to get ubuntu to start, so i successfully used boot repair to do that. I deleted the partition where i had ubuntu, and I lost access to windows also. Now boot repair won't work like it did the first time. [01:47] sacarlson: it is manual in school but i setted automatic [01:47] Hey guys, I have tightvncserver installed on my ubuntu server 12.04 machine, and gdm/icewm === krystal is now known as Guest54330 [01:47] darbe: ok that's the first problem and how about the dhcp server on your home site? [01:48] It opens an http-vnc port, however, according to nmap [01:48] darbe: what do you plug it into? [01:48] So how do I run a normal vnc server? (non-http) [01:48] sacarlson: i create an other wired settings [01:48] lan cable [01:48] so while i figure this out- what about the VNC app issue? [01:48] subcool_: what package is a normal vnc server? [01:48] darbe: what device are you connecting this computer to? router? [01:48] subcool_: tightvncserver is http-vnc [01:49] sacarlson: i think it is modem [01:49] MsAshley: you configure it to not open the secondary http interface. [01:49] brb [01:49] sacarlson: it converts from cable to lan [01:49] darbe: is the modem/router have dhcp active? do the lights light up? [01:49] wylde_: i'm on a live USB. [01:49] I just accidentally deleted a directory called /etc/rc1.d. does anyone know what did I lose and what does it do? [01:50] it has internet i am using it right now [01:50] sacarlson: what is dhcp [01:50] Coyote: ok, are you trying to manipulate partitions on your computer's hard disk? [01:50] lcantread it would be the auto start scripts, not sure how you could recover them, maybe if done in nautilus you can look in trash === Guest54330 is now known as Krystal_jade [01:51] darbe: dhcp is the protocal that is used to setup your ip with auto settings [01:51] sacarlson: it works with windows but i couldn't with ubuntu [01:51] hey can some one help me? I am trying to set up a windows game and also trying to remove some programs I don't want anymore [01:52] Krystal_jade, in wine? [01:52] MsAshley, im using xx11vnc [01:52] yes, and POL. So I am trying crossover. [01:52] !appdb | Krystal_jade check here first [01:52] Krystal_jade check here first: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [01:52] darbe: ok so does it get an ip address when pluged in see with ifconfig. also you didn't tell me if the lights light up [01:53] Krystal_jade, then /join #winehq [01:53] subcool_: that's the vnc server package? [01:53] subcool_: x11vnc or xx11vnc? [01:54] sacarlson: lights are on no problem about lights one of them is blinking [01:54] x11vnc [01:54] MsAshley, x11vnc [01:54] darbe: and the results from the ipconfig line command? have ip address? [01:54] thanks, subcool_ === subcool_ is now known as SubCool [01:55] wow I tried to get help in the Bodhi channel, and no one is talking [01:55] ok, can someone help me with this STUPID script- IDK WHY!!! its still on the guide. THIS: " http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Natty#VNC " says to do this "x11vnc -forever -rfbport 5900 -rfbauth ~/.vnc/x11vnc.pass -o ~/.vnc/x11vnc.log -loopbg -display :0 [01:55] there are alot of things [01:55] Krystal_jade, particular app help: /join #winehq [01:55] Krystal_jade: to remove software you can look in synaptic gui, that can also be used to install your software [01:56] I am in there now [01:56] sacarlson: interruot:41 Base address:0x6000 [01:56] ok [01:56] ty [01:56] Krystal_jade, then be patient [01:56] hello [01:56] question. I tried to drop a couple apps on my left hand toolbar. they didn't stick but spaces were created. Now theres spaces I can't seem to get rid of. Anyone know how to remove them? [01:56] wylde_: Sorry about taking forever; I'm multitasking. And yes. [01:56] darbe: so no line like 192.168.X.X no ip address set? [01:56] sacarlson: there are sections eth0 lo vmnet1 and vmnet8 which one is internet [01:57] wylde_: I botched a previous install, and need to delete the partition it created. [01:57] darbe, is this a vm? [01:57] darbe: dosen't sound like a standard ubuntu install, should see device like eth0 [01:57] i think virtual machine [01:57] darbe, then mention that at the beginning [01:58] Coyote: ok, why do you need to manually remove it? You can re-organize/modify partitions inside the installer. [01:58] hello all [01:58] sacarlson: all of them have some kind of ip address but eth0 doesn't have [01:58] lee8oi, tried myunity for that? [01:59] wylde_: The delete option inside the installer didn't work. [01:59] bazhang: I'll look into it thanks. [01:59] darbe: not sure at this point might be run from virtualbox, would have to look at setting for that [01:59] !info myunity | lee8oi [01:59] lee8oi: myunity (source: myunity): Unity configurator. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.1.3-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 529 kB, installed size 1125 kB [01:59] I just made the plunge!! deleted all windows and going with ubuntu only [01:59] bazhang: it is not vm [01:59] darbe, why the vmnet8 and so on [01:59] sacarlson: it is my main os [01:59] So, anyone here play WoW with wine on 'buntu 12.04? [02:00] bazhang: you are goint to tell me :D:D:D [02:00] kyle__, check the appdb [02:00] !appdb | kyle__ [02:00] Coyote: ahh ok, well was my guess abuot the partitions being an extended and swap correct. Also please tell me you backed up everything ;)(had to ask) [02:00] kyle__: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [02:00] darbe: well then it's not standard ubuntu install, i'm not sure what destro is it? [02:00] bazhang: My understanding, from reading some wow specific wikis, is some wine version distro combinations work, some dont. [02:00] darbe, no. you are giving almost zero details on your situation. no way to help with that [02:00] vmnet8 comes from vmware-workstation or player or server [02:01] sacarlson: it is ubuntu but installed kde and it has some problems [02:01] i dont even have a computer! [02:01] what do you want to know [02:01] kyle__, try in #winehq , they will know === Htbrdd is now known as zz_Htbrdd [02:01] wylde_: Yeah, I used Macrium Reflect. I'm backed up :) [02:01] i am writing from my laptop there is no way to copy it [02:01] wylde_: So any ideas as to why I can't unmount it? [02:01] bazhang: K. Was hoping someone here had success with it but I'll try there :) [02:02] i don't have wireless so no internet [02:02] ok, wylde sacarlson since u guys seem to know what ur doing. I would like to add a network address to my router. My Fios router runs on 192.168.1.*, my Netgear runs off 192.168.2.* - i want to add a rule that allows me to communicate to computers on netgear from the fios. [02:02] bazhang: It's so very close to working, some weird graphics memory leak I think [02:02] Coyote: am I correct in guessing those partitions are a logical and swap partition inside it? [02:02] WoW is rated Gold on Wine's appdb [02:02] whats WoW [02:02] I think PlayOnLinux (a Wine front-end) supports installing WoW [02:03] darbe, copy and paste to a usb stick [02:03] Guys, please, this is bootrepair: https://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair -- All you have to do to use it is push a button, but when I do that, it tells me to install the [mbr] packages. [02:03] wylde_: All I know is that they are inside(?) /dev/sda4 [02:03] what do you want me to copy [02:03] i need to know how to install the mbr packages [02:03] SubCool: neather netgear or fios are ubuntu, you want to setup your ubuntu to route between them? [02:03] wylde_: Oh, yes, one is a swap file. The other says "ext4" [02:03] joint: World of Warcraft. A MMORPG, which not too long ago they let you play for free, up to a certain level. I think it's there way to lure in new addicts. [02:04] joint: Err customers. [02:04] darbe, you are using ubuntu in a vmware machine. whats the host os, and whats the version of ubuntu as the guest os [02:04] hey dose anyone have any sugestoins on a good audio app? [02:04] sacarlson: I didn't in bash [02:04] SubCool: do you have two ethernet nic cards or plugs on your ubuntu system? [02:04] tontin. what are you doing deleting grub boot loaer to go back to windows? [02:04] so i guess I'm screwed??! [02:04] bazhang: anything in particular in 'myunity' thats supposed to help me fix these launchers? [02:04] Coyote: ok if the swap partition is at leat approx. equal to your ram you can leave it, and tell the installer to use it as swap during setup. [02:04] least* [02:04] sacarlson, yes... [02:04] zombifier: The install worked seemlessly in ubuntu. It even made an icon on my desktop, WITH the right WoW icon, and double clicking it does indeed launch the program fine. It's a problem after entering the world. [02:05] ubuntu which i am using 12.04 and i don't have virtual ubuntu [02:05] zombifier: ubuntu has deffinately put some work into their wine packages. [02:05] Icantread: what is the subject? [02:05] sacarlson, technically, im trying to ssh or vnc from my one kubuntu @ FIOS to my ubuntu behind the Netgear [02:05] preferably one that can handle a decent sized library.. [02:05] wylde_: I don't know how do do that :? [02:05] !players | brianp1992 [02:05] brianp1992: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [02:06] kyle__: Probably an issue with your graphic card [02:06] I personally would recommend Banshee. [02:06] brianp1992, you want to support how big a library [02:06] 40k songs? more/less [02:06] hydrox24: Banshee over what? [02:06] brianp1992: clementine works really well with large librarys very quick [02:06] sacarlson: I deleted my autostart scripts. and I did it in bash not nautilus, so I can't recover [02:06] SubCool: netgear is what a router connected to wan? [02:06] i have about 30 gigabytes of music [02:06] something like cmus or mocp (CLI players) are a little more hardcore, but will no doubt handle bigger libraries while putting less strain on your computer. [02:06] zombifier: Possibly. I'll dig through it [02:07] brianp1992, then check the list above [02:07] Icantread: if you didn't write any files after the delete there may be a way to recover them [02:07] brianp1992: that isnt a massive collection, almost any player will be fine [02:07] kyle__: WoW's WineHQ page contains a lot of info http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=24878 [02:08] sacarlson: I didnt write anythign [02:08] Coyote: ahh ok. I get a little squeemish about telling people to delete partitions and whatnot heh. Is this going to be a dual boot system? Or just Ubuntu. [02:08] cvr-zzz, dose clementine work on hardy? and can i make playlists [02:08] whois piercy [02:08] fail [02:08] wylde_: Dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows 7. [02:09] bazhang: http://pastebin.com/KK0z8zUj [02:09] zombifier: Yea. Including something I didn't even think of, older version of wine. Attempting a newer one from the wine ppa. [02:09] Icantread: I think foremost program might be able to recover deleted files but I've never used it [02:10] Coyote: ok so you have (correct me if I am wrong) A windows (NTFS) partition and the ext4 and swap partition? You want to delete the ext4 and swappartitions. [02:10] sacarlson, the line from the netgear is plugged into the WAN, the line connected into the FIOS is in a normal port. [02:10] sacarlson thanks, apt-get foremost? [02:10] Icantread: oh but if you install it then you will be writing something. so how can it be done? [02:10] true [02:10] not sure [02:11] Thanks guys. The solution was simply to log out. Empty gaps vanished. [02:11] SubCool: so what does fios act as just a dump switch? === quiesense is now known as quiescens [02:11] fios is great [02:11] i'm on the 25/25 package [02:11] wylde_: A failed Ubuntu install left me with a broken 50gig partition, sda4, which contains sda5(ext4), and sda6(swap). I want to delete ALL of it. [02:11] used to get 5.1 MB/s but now in a new city not as good but 25/25 is ok [02:11] !ot | xubuntu5 [02:11] xubuntu5: #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! [02:12] Hello all! [02:12] sorry! just say someone mention fios was just chiming in sorry [02:12] does anyone know how to get wifi back after upgrading to ubuntu 10.04.4 lts [02:12] it shouldn't go away [02:12] you're upgrading to 10.04?? 12 is out [02:12] sacarlson, FIOS is the Modem, and a router/switch to a couple computers. (my moms, and mine for fast internet given the hops) [02:13] sacarlson: there are like 6 directories that look like '/etc/rc?.d' are they all equally important or is this a redundancy? [02:13] Coyote: ok you have to remove the partitions inside sda4 first before you can remove sda4(since I'm guessing that's the extended partition) then you should be able to remove sda4 [02:13] just got this computer from a friend and it auto updated to 10.04 [02:13] alright. I'll talk in #ubuntu from now on. I learned my lesson about crossposting. [02:13] ahh got you [02:13] How can I set a non-standard 1024x600 resolution? [02:13] SubCool: simple solution remove the fios [02:13] So is there a work around for the known installer issue where the installer crashes? I don't know if it is colord related or not. [02:13] sacarlson: http://pastebin.com/KK0z8zUj [02:13] BuntZooZoo check out man xrandr [02:13] Coyote: can you show the partition table, sudo fdisk -l [02:13] wylde_: Elaborate, please. [02:13] xrandr. never heard of it. I'll read up. [02:13] so can i do a apt-get install clementine ? [02:14] I tried Xubuntu but that installer crashed the same way. [02:14] or maybe even arandr that saved me one time [02:14] aww i love xubuntu [02:14] Icantread: acualy there are only 2 of those dirs that are needed the others are as you say redundant just to stay compatible with standards [02:14] AssociateX: Err, how/where is the installer crashing? [02:14] xubuntu5, stay on topic [02:14] bazhang yes sir [02:14] cvr-zzz , wylde_: Sorry, I have to go. Thanks anyway, and I should be back in ten minutes, if you guys will still be here. [02:14] brianp1992, thats right [02:14] alrighty === cvr-zzz is now known as cvr [02:15] stay on topic... just a few more seconds, just a few more seconds... [02:15] do you know which ones are necessary to have? [02:15] Icantread: I think it's just 1 and 2 that are different but I'm not sure off the top my head [02:15] lol kyle_ [02:15] Sorry thinking of star wars, trench run scene. [02:15] kyle__, about half way through install. The installer just disappears. [02:15] sacarlson, the FIOS router IS the modem... [02:15] sacarlson thank you [02:15] SubCool: but it's not wan so not needed [02:15] AssociateX: screen goes blank, and nothing wakes it up? [02:15] sacarlson, what?=- [02:16] SubCool: do you have 2 wan connections? [02:16] is there config file anywhere that lets me choose the gtk theme nautilus (or other programs) use :v i'm using ubuntu 12.04, and openbox as my desktop environment [02:16] kyle__, it seems to be well documented in bug reports. I was just hoping that someone here knew what the work around was. [02:16] sacarlson, no? [02:16] i dont have the libarys to install that bazhang [02:16] i know the computer can see the wireless access points but it shows wireless is not connected, can [02:16] SubCool: then I don't see any need for the fios [02:16] AssociateX: Wow. I've never come across a bug like that. And if you do a text-only install from the ubuntu-alternate installer, does it do the same thing? [02:16] bazhang :( [02:17] fios is the devil [02:17] no comcast is ahh sorry off topic [02:17] brianp1992, what do you mean. whats the exact error message. pastebin if more than one line [02:17] sacarlson, the coax goes INTO the Fios Router/Modem - [02:17] !paste | brianp1992 [02:17] brianp1992: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [02:17] akay [02:17] kyle__, no, the installer just disappears, no error message. How do you do the cli install? [02:17] SubCool: then the fios is the wan connection so get rid of the netgear [02:17] AssociateX, then try the alternate installer [02:18] !alternate | AssociateX [02:18] AssociateX: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [02:18] AssociateX: Could you link to one of these bug reports? [02:18] sacarlson, uh- cant... Im using it as a router/switch. [02:19] sacarlson, and i've tried to disable the dhcp and turn it into a bridge, which went HORRIBLE. [02:19] AssociateX: If I'm remember this right (been awhile since I've done that), you download the alternate iso, and choose text-only or cli install. Something to that effect. Then, if it's been disapearing, I'd do the minimal install, it'll partition the disc, then you'll get grub, kernel, apt-get, and bash, _maybe_ ssh. Really really minmal. If it works, you can apt-get install unity or something and get a desktop :) [02:19] SubCool: ok so the netgear is the dumb switch but acts as active router? [02:19] i get pastebin.com/dL7gMWib [02:19] xubuntu5, thanks for the xrandr tip. output from xrandr indicates that the mode I want (1024x600) is currently set...which it isn't. [02:19] sacarlson, which doesnt matter, because i need the netgear to protect my eqiupment [02:20] FTFY brianp1992: http://pastebin.com/dL7gMWib [02:20] sacarlson, yea [02:20] This is awesome, get to help while on my Nook [02:20] FTFY? [02:20] Looks like the THING that handles fn-F5 keystrokes and turns on the external VGA port went and changes resolution without making RandR aware of it. [02:20] SubCool: over complicate your life that way [02:20] SubCool: get stuf working without it then add it then [02:21] brianp1992: tsk tsk...logged in as root. Also, what's the output of lsb_release -a [02:21] brianp1992: Fixed that for you. [02:21] im not logged in as root [02:22] any one found RMS outer already? [02:22] uhhh... root@linux: in the pastebin says differently [02:22] hello. can anyone help me? :) [02:22] hello , which channel can talk other topic [02:22] bazhang, thank you. Jordan_U, not right now, I'm going to try the alternate install, google ubuntu 12.04 install crash. kyle__ doing that now. bbl [02:22] CAPITALISMUS, thats offtopic [02:23] gklwilliam: ubuntu-offtopic [02:23] gklwilliam, #ubuntu-offtopic [02:23] wich chat room you usually go [02:23] gklwilliam, see above [02:23] check the mac address online for any signs of RMS puter [02:23] thank you [02:23] CAPITALISMUS, stop that [02:23] why does my ISP hate pastebin.com? [02:23] sacarlson, ugh.. lol - nope.. [02:23] sacarlson: Are you still here? [02:23] GNU future is ridding on it [02:23] AGTT: yes [02:23] My ubuntu won't connect to a wireless router even though i keep putting in the password. Is there a reason why [02:24] I have found the option that was giving the error [02:24] yealow card? [02:24] AGTT, in debian? [02:24] It it the CPU family type [02:24] well, yes [02:24] CAPITALISMUS, thats enough. this is not the chat channel. [02:24] #debian [02:24] but it's about the kernel [02:24] SubCool: trying to fix multi layer problems is difficult when you add uneeded overcomplication [02:24] AGTT, #debian [02:24] so, it should be distro-independent [02:25] right? [02:25] sacarlson, its not that complicated.. [02:25] AGTT, it's not [02:25] and its not like the computers and routers are all on the same desk.. the netgear is a couple rooms over [02:25] AGTT: and it's fixed so your good to go [02:25] http://pastebin.com/0yb8PZgX [02:25] sacarlson, ^ [02:26] Bdrumz have you tried connecting thru command line [02:26] SubCool: well fix it your way then [02:26] SubCool, it sounds like you'll be doing double-nat which is a pain-in-the-neck to diagnose issues with [02:27] does Nautilus still use gtk2 for themes? [02:27] So, one makes the Kernel differently on each distro? Just for my records... [02:27] sacarlson, im trying... [02:27] oh wow hardy huh? [02:27] diddledan, i suppose? [02:27] SubCool: I agree with diddledan: [02:27] AGTT, yes. and #debian has great support. go there for it [02:28] id be fine if i had a cisco... [02:28] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair --> This is boot repair. It is telling me to install the mbr packages. Does anyone know how I can do that? [02:28] i forgot to change my user name in the first paste diddnt i? [02:28] SubCool: if your hoping a connection from outside wan to your system through 2 layers a nat good luck [02:28] its easy on a cisco [02:29] well, i new to irc, so if you would guide me through, it would be great. I'm using xchat-gnome (GUI) [02:29] maybe because i know how to use a cisco- but.. either way... [02:29] SubCool: sure easy with a vpn no problem [02:29] brianp1992: what gives the root login away is the root@linux: in your prompt :P [02:29] AGTT, /join #debian [02:29] sacarlson, too much encryption.. [02:29] :) its sudo -s actually :) [02:29] SubCool: you don't have to encrypt with openvpn [02:29] SubCool: you can tunnel but overcomplicated again [02:29] its only a root terminal bud [02:29] brianp1992: alrighty :) [02:30] AGTT type '/join #debian' [02:30] Thank you for your support throughout, sacarlson! [02:30] true... but- i dont like my communications monitored [02:30] AGTT: no problem [02:30] But where [02:30] ? [02:30] and im mostly just trying to do inner network communication [02:30] the double layer nat is for the Torrents.. [02:30] The input box [02:30] AGTT, here, where you are typing [02:30] ssh/vnc from one router to another isnt that bad === hungray1 is now known as Glytch [02:31] AGTT, /join #debian [02:31] OK. [02:31] so... about my missing libraries... is there a way to get those lol [02:31] brianp1992: oh I see [02:31] SubCool: dude it won't protect you being found to have double nat just more difficult for outside sigs to find final destination on your local net [02:31] add 192.168.2.* to the FIOS router network.. forward all *.*.2.* to netgear.. done [02:31] !info clementine | brianp1992 [02:31] brianp1992: clementine (source: clementine): modern music player and library organizer.

[02:32] but this stupid FIOS router is being difficult [02:32] wylde_ : so can i just add the new repo and be on my way [02:32] I get '#debian :Cannot send to channel' [02:32] brianp1992: I wouldn't advise that. [02:32] when typing [02:32] wylde_ : what would be wrong with that? [02:33] this was easy when i had CableVision- Linksys > linksys or netgear. [02:33] AGTT, what did you type? [02:33] 'Hello' [02:33] AGTT: must be a freenode problem [02:33] brianp1992: you'll most likely break your system. You'll be pulling deps and libraries that want packages that you won't have installed/available. [02:33] Hey guys, how do I start a vpn server on a ubuntu desktop? I have it installed in a vm and sitting in a server. [02:33] SubCool, plus.. if your torrent box is pwnd which it seems you're worried about then because it's behind the second layer it can pwn your first layer boxes because it's an outbound connection - I believe you're trying for bastion firewalling which would require the lan to be behind the second layer and the torrents to be on the fios first layer [02:33] I mean in the channel [02:34] AGTT, ask in #freenode [02:34] !info clementine lucid | brianp1992 [02:34] brianp1992: Package clementine does not exist in lucid [02:34] AGTT, /j #freenode [02:34] bugger [02:34] Thank you, once again. [02:34] wylde_ : i assume i cant just install the new libarys and deps? [02:35] diddledan, ya, that wold be simplier.. but- i cant move the box. And the torrent would be nice to work at faster speeds. I am really working on trying to communicate from Fios to Netgear.. thas my goal. [02:35] brianp1992: not without an distribution upgradeI don't think. [02:35] AGTT, it worked for me [02:35] brianp1992: look for a ppa that has a build for hardy? Or attempt to build from source? [02:36] SubCool, plug fios into wan port of netgear.. let dhcp do it's thing.. bob's your proverbial uncle [02:36] wylde_ : would it hurt to try? [02:36] SubCool: well comunicating from fios to netgear is not a ubuntu problem [02:36] brianp1992: not sure you'd have the required build deps though [02:36] wylde_ : cant i get them? [02:36] brianp1992: only if you have recent backups and don't mind losing a few hours to a re-install/configure if it breaks [02:36] I'm in agreement about the ot nature of this.. maybe move it into #ubuntu-offtopic === LargePrime is now known as Guest90246 [02:36] Hello, i installed a new vanilla ubuntu 12.4 and i'd like to use an already existing encrypted home from other partition. I can access it through ecryptfs-recover-private but i'd like to set it up as a default home mounting it with something like fstab. Do you know any guide to do this ? [02:37] i've been looking without much luck [02:37] wylde_ : all i got is time [02:37] wylde_ : heck if i breaks ill just upgrade lol [02:37] brianp1992: I don't know, since it's not even in lucid. The libs for hardy may not exist [02:37] I disconnected by accident. [02:38] brianp1992: lol then if you're not concerned, I'd say go for it. At the very least it would be a learning experience [02:38] r0ver: you want other users to access the encrypted disk? [02:38] <_pg_> Can someone help me get rt2870sta driver working in ubuntu 12.04 ? Im pretty far along, it's just not working. Id sure appreciate it. [02:38] wylde_ : alrighty, what distro do i need the apt for? [02:39] brianp1992: hmm newer than lucid, might as well shoot at precise. [02:39] brianp1992: hmm it's in natty [02:40] Well, I've restarted the chat client with that occasion, but still the same. [02:40] <_pg_> Is there an ubuntu wireless channel? [02:40] dose anyone have the apt line for precise? or natty? [02:40] Hi all, I'm the guy who was making a separate /home partition today on his 10.04 system. Thanks for all the help, the psychocats guide Ben64 linked was very helpful, and all is well [02:40] r0ver: I think I understand you have two side by side installs of ubuntu and you want to use the same /home/user on the other system [02:40] brianp1992, apt line to do what [02:40] ok, can someone help me with this STUPID script- IDK WHY!!! its still on the guide. THIS: " http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Natty#VNC " says to do this "x11vnc -forever -rfbport 5900 -rfbauth ~/.vnc/x11vnc.pass -o ~/.vnc/x11vnc.log -loopbg -display :0 [02:41] AGTT, /j #freenode [02:41] sacarlson: no, just one user. I was updating my ubuntu to 12.4 from 11.10 and it didn't work. The only option ubuntu installer showed to me after it was to erase the disk to install it, so i installed on a new partition. So, what i would like to do now is keep using the old partition just for home and keep ubuntu system files on the "new partition", so far so good, the problem is i dont know how to setup the encrypted partition as a h [02:41] the repo apt line [02:41] sacarlson, ^ that is [02:41] brianp1992, dont mix version repos [02:41] SubCool: that's caused by the same thing [02:41] The only question I have left is, now that I'm going to wipe my partition with / on it and do a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04, how do I make it so that it also uses the /home partition as its home? Do I follow the same steps in the psychocats guide? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [02:41] brianp1992, upgrade your version [02:41] bazhang, i need to to get this program [02:41] sacarlson: indeed but actually i wont use the old one anymore, so i want to keep one partition just for home (the old one) and use the system from a new partition [02:42] brianp1992, then compile it. never mix version repos [02:42] <_pg_> Who's good at modprobing and blacklisting and USB wireless? Im pretty far along. I have blacklisted the default driver and when I modprobe the new one I don't get errors but I also don't get wireless [02:42] !compile | brianp1992 [02:42] brianp1992: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall [02:42] bazhang, i want to try it and if it messes up ill upgrade [02:42] r0ver: I guess you could setup a sybolic link from the old partition to the new one at the location of the user you wish [02:42] <_pg_> I have tried installing it from source and as aDKMS module. As per some tutorials. [02:43] brianp1992, it will "mess up" no one will help you actively break your system, so stop asking [02:43] <_pg_> I can manually start and stop the old junky wireless driver with modprobe command. [02:43] r0ver: you would need to have the other disk as you said mounted at some predefined location in fstab [02:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1034767 [02:43] <_pg_> But starting the new one, rt2870sta doesn't do anything. [02:44] r0ver: then when mounted example ln -s /old/home/user /home/usre [02:44] user [02:45] sacarlson: ok, encryption will work automatically ? [02:45] its deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty main restricted im going to do it [02:45] r0ver: with the contents at login seen it should auto accept and ask you for password to login [02:45] Anyone know, when setting resolution with xrandr, should the new config take effect immediately [02:46] ? [02:46] gedit /etc/apt/sources.list ?? i think so [02:46] r0ver: this assumes that encyrption hasn't changed too much between versions of ubuntu [02:46] sacarlson: awesome!, i'll try it. Tanks a lot! [02:46] 12.04 is still very buggy. what the heck. I get crashes all the time and my system locks up too [02:47] sacarlson: :D do you think it is a risky move ?... but if encryption did change, i wouldn't be able to access i guess. Isn't it ? [02:47] spdupee, file some bugs then [02:47] <_pg_> Anyone has rt2870sta working in ubuntu 12.04? [02:47] spdupee, or ask actual support issue questions [02:47] !bugs | spdupee [02:47] spdupee: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.

I compiled from source, blacklist and stop old drivers, start new driver, driver is started in lsmod. But doesn't work, or show anything wireless in network manager. [02:49] Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me find a packer identification tool.

[02:51] hungray1: mmm, maybe unshield or cabextract, or strings [02:52] reisio: could you give me some links please? If not its fine.

When I set 1024x768, the whole desktop is visible on the screen, but compressed vertially (circles appear oval). When I set 1024x600 with xrandr (or the Jupiter utility), some desktop is inaccessible, below the bottom of the screen.

[03:08] <_pg_> sacarlson: Old driver is rt2800usb. Works poorly. Drops, maxs out btw 1-2 Mbps. [03:08] superuser, its out of support. upgrade if you want support here [03:08] where is the config file that specifies which gtk3 is being used :l [03:08] superuser, check the eolupgrades link I gave you [03:08] <_pg_> sacarlson: Lots of people seem tohave success with prop rt2870sta driver from ralink.

[03:10] _pg_ this view looks like it worked ok [03:10] if there's a utility for setting the desktop size, apart from the resolution, I haven't found it yet. [03:10] theres no ethernet port on it, can i just mount the precice iso i have and upgrade from there [03:11] <_pg_> sacarlson: Yes. I compiled it installed it regular and using dkms, it doesnt do anything when I modprobe it. That log is from using the old driver [03:11] _pg_ could try change MTU settings see if that improves anything [03:11] <_pg_> sacarlson: its a known issue with the old included driver. The fix as reported by many is to use this other prop driver. [03:11] _pg_ after modprobe nothing seen in lsmod? [03:12] bazhang, theres no ethernet port on it, can i just mount the precice iso i have and upgrade from there [03:12] <_pg_> sacarlson: with thr new one?

I want to format /dev/sda1 and overwrite it from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04. I am currently in a live session of Ubuntu 12.04 from a USB flashdrive. What should I select for "Device for boot loader installation" ? /dev/sda? /dev/sda1? Should I select "Format" for /dev/sda1, and where should I select a mount point? [03:22] but their IP is hidden [03:22] upgrayeddd: /dev/sda [03:22] MsAshley: ok, and should I select format for /dev/sda1 ? [03:22] upgrayeddd: And yes, I'd sey format /dev/sda1, mount point being / [03:22] MsAshley: and do I need to specify a Mount Point? [03:22] upgrayeddd: /dev/sda [03:22] upgrayeddd: yes, / [03:22] gotcha [03:23] alright, here goes! [03:23] upgrayeddd: Good luck :D [03:23] upgrayeddd: format means /dev/sda1 will be completely overwritten though [03:23] upgrayeddd: So be careful... [03:23] that's fine [03:23] upgrayeddd: /dev/sda3 will be fine [03:23] I already moved /home to /dev/sda3 [03:23] upgrayeddd: make sure you set mount to /home on that [03:23] okay cool [03:24] upgrayeddd: the mount point for root should be /dev/sda1 and for home I guess /dev/sda3, select not to format /dev/sda3 [03:24] hi [03:24] be nice if the installer could auto-detect such a common setup [03:24] sacarlson: yeah, this [03:25] upgrayeddd: where root = / [03:25] <_pg_> sacarlson: paste.debian.net/173874 [03:25] and home = /home [03:25] upgrayeddd: might want to sybolic link the /dev/sda3 for your home after you install, that way if one disk is removed it will still boot [03:25] <_pg_> sacarlson: Rt2870 is the new driver, 2800 is the old.

[03:28] <_pg_> I made sure some ofthe 2870 output was in that part [03:28] <_pg_> sacarlson: ^^ [03:28] superuser, from hardy to what version [03:28] Am I the only one experiencing that thepriatebay has vanished?:P [03:28] _pg_ I see this [ 4357.432109] usbcore: deregistering interface driver rt2870 Jun 10 23:16:51 hoth kernel: [ 4357.432191] <--- rtusb exit [03:29] !ot | sirriffsalot_ [03:29] sirriffsalot_: #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! [03:29] precise... its going to make my laptop slow tho, oh well [03:29] _pg_ I'm not sure witch drive this is [03:29] bazhang, BigBrother is here! [03:29] <_pg_> sacarlson: What does it mean? [03:30] sirriffsalot_, take chat elsewhere, thanks. this is ubuntu support only. chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:31] _pg_ I assume that means the the drive attepted to install got an error and exited, maybe there is a debug mode to get more results [03:31] <_pg_> Drive..? [03:31] driver [03:31] <_pg_> Oh [03:31] sacarlson, lol - my firewall was on [03:32] <_pg_> sacarlson: I dont lnow how to uninstall a driver.... [03:32] <_pg_> sacarlson: Esp one I tried using dkms for [03:32] _pg_ from that result I would think that lshw would have return unclaimed device for your bad driver [03:32] bazhang, precise... its going to make my laptop slow tho, oh well [03:33] <_pg_> sacarlson: Did it? [03:33] subcool: see if you removed it you would have figured that out [03:33] subcool: I assume the firewall on you netgear [03:34] _pg_ I don't know I only got the results from the working driver [03:35] _pg_ if the blacklist can't remove the driver just mv the *.ko file you don't want to run [03:35] <_pg_> sacarlson: you think the old one is interfeing? [03:36] when i turn on my ipod 5th gen video it takes like 30 minutes to boot.. Dose anyone have any ideas whats wrong with it? [03:36] <_pg_> sacarlson: I stop the old one and the new one does nothing. [03:36] <_pg_> admin___: Bad hdd [03:36] _pg_: ya if it's not disabled, but normaly you can rmmod and install the one you want [03:36] _pg_ to test them first, after test then you can install them [03:36] <_pg_> sacarlson: Im so lost [03:37] <_pg_> sacarlson: How can I start over? Should I start over? [03:37] _pg_ we haven't got the results of you sta yet [03:37] So, Firefox knows the correct display height,because its Find bar appears along the bottom of the screen, and its scrollbar takes up the right side, like it should. But the xubuntu desktop extends offscreen, so that I can't see the pop-up panel. [03:37] _pg_ : it boots all the way and lets me pick a language and then goes to the menu like normal tho... [03:38] <_pg_> sacarlson: Just tell me what to do ill do it lol [03:38] <_pg_> admin___: Reset it with center and menu, then at the apple hold prev and center to enter diag mode [03:38] what setting am I missing to make the bottom edge of the desktop match the bottom edge of the screen, and the bottom edges of my application windows? [03:38] <_pg_> admin___: In there you can find hdd test [03:40] sacarlson, no- the firewall on my ubuntu [03:40] Hi. Could someone tell me where the Default Applications configuration file is stored in Ubuntu 12.04? [03:40] _pg_ : prev? [03:40] _pg_ there are some things we need to learn how to remove the modules that's running rmmod, how to run a module we want to test and add debug commands ldmod or modprobe ?? [03:41] <_pg_> admin___: Yeah. Previous song button. Left arrow if you will [03:41] <_pg_> sacarlson: Ok what should I run === TheSojourner is now known as mjulian [03:41] oh okay thanks :) [03:41] _pg_ note I said WE need to learn as I forget [03:42] <_pg_> sacarlson: Ok ive removed all wireless driveers from active state with modprobe -r [03:42] Hi, I'm trying to modify my .bashrc file. I want to execute a set of commands only when the user does not login with sftp. Is there a variable / way to know when the user logs in via sftp? [03:43] _pg_ : its not doin anything im stll holding prev and center [03:43] <_pg_> admin___: Its while its rebooting after holding menu and center. When you see the apple. [03:43] <_pg_> Then you press prev and center until u see denug menu [03:44] _pg_ ok and your drivers have different names so modprobe will install the correct one? [03:44] _pg_ : before or after the backlight turns on? [03:44] <_pg_> sacarlson: Yes. Thats the idea. I can launch the old one eith modprobe. The new one doesnt error but doesnt work either. [03:44] _pg_ : alright, i got it in to diag mode, now what? [03:45] _pg_ I have a felling that network-manager will attempt to install the needed drivers without you asking to do so [03:45] <_pg_> sacarlson: So reboot, with the old one blacklisted and see what happens? [03:45] _pg_ and after this modprobe we should see this new driver present in lshw [03:45] <_pg_> admin___: Look for manual test, I/o, hdd scan or something like hard drive test [03:46] <_pg_> sacarlson: I thought I wasn't doing anything, letting network manager do it? [03:46] _pg_ if not the name we expect then we go back to disable the old driver [03:46] <_pg_> sacarlson: Ive already blacklisted the old driver. [03:46] I have some echo statements and such in my .bashrc file, and it wont let me connect via sftp unless i suppress them. I want to print them if and only if the connection for login is NOT sftp [03:46] _pg_ : uhh specs or smart data? [03:46] <_pg_> sacarlson: So just reboot? [03:47] _pg_ I'm supposed to know what you did to network-manager? I just got here [03:47] <_pg_> admin___: Smart data [03:47] _pg_ : okay [03:47] <_pg_> sacarlson: ? Im so confused. [03:47] _pg_ no no reboot [03:47] <_pg_> sacarlson: I have no driver currently modprobed. What shall I do. [03:47] _pg_ we just want to see if the new driver sticks by looking at the results from lshw [03:47] <_pg_> sacarlson: Ok [03:48] _pg_ : hmm it poped up with some data i cant comprehend.. [03:48] <_pg_> admin___: Do you see reallocs? [03:48] _pg_ : yeah it says 100 [03:48] <_pg_> admin___: What else? [03:48] can someone help me i did something and now i have a terminal in the upper left that shows up at start and wont go away [03:49] hey baby [03:49] <_pg_> sacarlson: So I modprobe the new one and run lshw? [03:49] woops [03:49] _pg_ yup [03:49] Okay, strange question, but follow me on this: I am trying to make all text on my ubuntu system to be backwards. For example, if the title of a window is, "pidgin - #ubuntu", I want it displayed as "utnubu# - nigdip". Is this possible?

Back up your music first duh [03:50] Djzylex: you mean at login you get what looks like a normal xterm terminal? [03:50] yea in the upper left corner [03:51] <_pg_> sacarlson: What am I looking for in lshw [03:51] and it is a terminaal [03:51] check your autorun/autostaert dir. see if anything is in there [03:51] _pg_ : well... itunes dosent reconise it and my computer says it needs to be formatted [03:51] nope nuttin in there [03:51] _pg_ what driver is attached to your device [03:51] <_pg_> admin___: All the content is already gone. So format it. [03:51] its got me..lol [03:51] _pg_ it seems like it should say unclaimed [03:51] cant figure it out [03:52] <_pg_> sacarlson: It doesnt shoe up [03:52] _pg_ : when i try to format it it says windows unable to format [03:52] _pg_ the driver or the device? [03:52] <_pg_> admin___: Its a hard drive [03:52] <_pg_> sacarlson: The device doesnt show up in lshw [03:52] <_pg_> sacarlson: I cant find it [03:53] _pg_ unplug and replug it [03:53] ill be back got one more thing to try [03:53] _pg_ and look again [03:53] _pg_ : i know.. but windows says it cant be formatted [03:53] err, D/c, sorry for the repost [03:53] <_pg_> admin___: ITS A FAILING HARD DRIVE. [03:53] <_pg_> admin___: Done. Toast. Failed. Not writable. Hosed. No workie. Donzo. [03:53] _pg_ I mean the usb device unplug replug [03:53] _pg_ : oh. how do i fix that? [03:54] I am looking for a way to reverse all my text in ubuntu, so everything is written and spelled right to left [03:54] <_pg_> admin___: You buy a new one. How old is it? [03:54] is there a way to do that? [03:54] <_pg_> sacarlson: Yeah im looking [03:54] AkivaShammai seen perl scripts that do it. [03:54] _pg_ my breakfast is ready I got to go eat [03:54] _pg_ : well its a fifth generation ipod video [03:54] AkivaShammai: i seemto recall a 'tac' command also [03:54] Dr_Willis: and can these perl scripts be applied system wide to my computer? [03:54] <_pg_> admin___: How long have you owned it. [03:55] Dr_Willis: Cool, Thanks! [03:55] AkivaShammai: 'applied system wide' is a little... vague. [03:55] _pg_ : about a month [03:55] you can put commands in the default path.. yes [03:55] Found the solution: ${TERM} != "dumb" will do it. [03:55] Dr_Willis: Just everything in ubuntu, down to menus, command line, etc will be displayed like this. [03:55] Thought u guys were supposed to be experts -_- [03:55] <_pg_> admin___: In any case, make an appointment at an apple store, take it in with a totslly dead battery and tell them it just doesnt hold a charge anymore. [03:56] bashscripter: not all of us :P [03:56] AkivaShammai: that seems... weird... you dont expect some commmand to totally reverse ALL text in every app do you? [03:56] disappointing :( [03:56] !attitude | bashscripter [03:56] bashscripter: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [03:56] <_pg_> admin___: They will offer you a battery replacment price of 59$ for a new one. [03:56] Dr_Willis: actually, thats only half the plan; I plan to switch the letters with hebrew script, so english words will be transliterated into hebrew [03:56] bashscripter: demand a refund [03:56] !sarcasm | xangua [03:56] lol [03:57] AkivaShammai: i think theres language packs for converting to other languages and doing left to right.. [03:57] _pg_ : whats the battery have to do with the harddrive tho? [03:57] Dr_Willis: problem is, they change language. [03:57] <_pg_> admin___: -_- [03:57] Dr_Willis: I can't speak hebrew yet, so I just want to get the reading down. [03:57] <_pg_> admin___: Its the cheapest replacment option. [03:58] <_pg_> admin___: If you have a hdd issue its 129 for a new one. [03:58] <_pg_> admin___: If its abattery its 59. [03:58] <_pg_> admin___: Either way you get a whole new one. [03:58] <_pg_> admin___: Get it? [03:58] _pg_ : it sounds like a scam, if i take it in they will just replace my batter not my harddrive? [03:58] <_pg_> admin___: They cant open that ipod [03:58] _pg_ : its not under warrenty tho [03:59] <_pg_> admin___: -_-' [03:59] Does anyone have any recommendations for a vnc server in ubuntu? I used to use the "vncserver" in red hat, and then display with tightvnc, but im told realvnc is not available for ubuntu. What do you people use? [04:00] vnc: theres several vnc servers you can use. realvnc is like the grandfather of them all. [04:00] vnc: tightvnc is commonly used [04:00] <_pg_> admin___: If its more than five years old they wnt be able to offer you a replacment. [04:00] last i looked realvnc was in the repos. but i tend to use tightvnc [04:00] <_pg_> admin___: Its considered vintage at five years. [04:00] _pg_ : i bought it from a pawn shop [04:01] where is the config file that specifies which gtk3 theme is being used :l [04:01] <_pg_> admin___: Irrelevant. [04:02] _pg_ : ok i get what your saying now, i lie to them to get a cheaper replacement ok ok ok [04:02] <_pg_> admin___: WE GOT A WINNER!!! [04:02] _pg_ : ima bit slow lol [04:02] <_pg_> admin___: If its dead when you bring it in, they won't usually wait for it to charge. [04:03] <_pg_> admin___: Especially if they're behind. What state do you live in? [04:03] illinois [04:03] <_pg_> admin___: Chicago? [04:03] springfeild [04:04] Might be the most stupid question ever, but is it possible to have my computer running in some mode whereby it produces the least noise possible while downloads still go on? [04:04] guys in which directory the jdk1.6 is installed on ubuntu? [04:04] how to find where things are installed? [04:05] how do i output the environment variables in ubuntu? [04:05] wingie export VAR=blahblahblah [04:05] wingie: is there a specific variable youre looking for? [04:05] <_pg_> admin___: Closest is saint louis [04:05] moduspwnins: no i wnana output them all [04:05] wanna [04:05] <_pg_> admin___: Good luck with THAT [04:05] owait :v disregard what i said [04:06] D3RGPS31: i wanna output them, not store one [04:06] _pg_ : alrighty ill give it a shot lol ill let you know how it works out [04:06] wingie: I don't know how to do that :( [04:06] <_pg_> admin___: I already know it will work out [04:06] <_pg_> admin___: Dont forget to make an appointment. [04:06] where is the config file that specifies which gtk3 theme is being used :L or is there a way to force all application to use gtk2? [04:06] <_pg_> admin___: Or it wont work out. [04:06] _pg_ : on the website? [04:06] <_pg_> admin___: Yes. [04:06] printenv [04:06] _pg_ : alrighty thanks a ton [04:07] nice to see you solve your own problem wingie === kiwii is now known as rumaging_ [04:07] google? [04:07] <_pg_> I give up on internet. [04:07] <_pg_> Goodnight. Better luck to all you troopers [04:07] _pg_: why [04:07] no [04:07] don't give up === rumaging_ is now known as s0uth3rn0utrag3 [04:07] _pg_ : nighty night thanks agen!! [04:07] hey guys anyone knows how to locate the path where jdk1.6 is installed? [04:07] admin___: [04:08] <_pg_> cordoval: Its f*cked bro. Im callin it [04:08] hi [04:08] _pg_: try one more time [04:08] <_pg_> cordoval: Unless you have personally got rt2870sta working on ubuntu 12.04? [04:09] _pg_: Don't swear, even through obfuscation please. [04:09] _pg_: rt2870sta what is that? [04:09] <_pg_> chu: -_- [04:09] <_pg_> cordoval: it's a wireless driver. [04:10] <_pg_> cordoval: And it's hosed. [04:10] <_pg_> cordoval: Goodnight. [04:10] moduspwnins: yeah [04:10] google is the shit [04:10] <_pg_> !swearpolice | wingie [04:11] <_pg_> chu: ^^ [04:11] <_pg_> Lol [04:11] have patienec [04:11] patience [04:11] hey guys where to find the path where jdk is installed on ubuntu latest? [04:11] wingie: well you taught me something new [04:11] <_pg_> cordoval: Ive been here for hours. Im done. Peace [04:11] no [04:11] don't give up [04:14] cordoval, you mean jre.. you dont need jdk(d for development, r for runtime) [04:15] JDKs are usually JREs, too, though [04:15] Dr_Willis: Thanks, I just installed realvnc. I can't seem to connect using my laptop in another room. Do you have any ideas? ssh and sftp work fine. [04:15] cordoval, it should be in the repos.. (if you dont see it, then turn on all repos) [04:16] !java [04:16] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [04:18] cordoval, it wasnt that complicated when i installed it.. the thing is if you install more than 1 java runtime, you'll probably have to fiddle with cli commands to set oracle's java at the top priority.. so simply install only 1 java jre [04:18] jagginess: you cannot be more tangent [04:19] i asked the path for the install of jdk [04:19] in ubuntu [04:19] cordoval, i thought you were asking a url path. [04:19] doh [04:19] no the /usr/... [04:19] path [04:19] where is the config file that specifies which gtk3 theme is being used :L or is there a way to force all application to use gtk2? [04:20] HELP!!! What would make a long time faithful laptop NOT turn on? i tried a different cord to a different plug but no go still...I've been sleeping it at night and resuming in morning for months.....i came back from vacation and it doesn't turn on!? [04:20] ok guys i checked my startup and everything i got a bash shell that wont leave the upper left corner of my screen tryed killing it but when i reboot its there [04:20] any ideas? [04:21] HELP!!! What would make a long time faithful laptop NOT turn on? i tried a different cord to a different plug but no go still...I've been sleeping it at night and resuming in morning for months.....i came back from vacation and it doesn't turn on!? [04:21] Djzylex, that's weird.. [04:21] i know [04:21] !patience | theseb [04:21] its bugging me [04:21] theseb: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [04:21] like a splinter [04:22] Djzylex, what ubuntu edition is this.. [04:22] how is the system knowing to start it up [04:22] 12.04 [04:22] d [04:23] Is the mysql exploit exploitable via phpmyadmin? [04:23] Djzylex, do you get a gnome desktop, or is just 1 black square on the left-top coner? [04:23] yes [04:23] wwbhyy, to me? [04:23] its a terminal i meen i can type commands and see my hostname [04:24] its small [04:24] can i force gtk3 applications to use gtk2 themes :L [04:24] happend maybe because i resized it [04:24] idk [04:24] Djzylex, i know.. but do you get everything else on the gui? (like startmenu etc..) [04:24] yup [04:24] runs like a champ [04:24] Djzylex, maybe the failsafe X scripts are being triggered or something.. [04:25] Djzylex, does the gui flicker for a long time when it starts? [04:25] hey guys [04:25] anyone in here willing to review a cover letter for me? [04:25] hmm not that i notice [04:25] it happend i think when i tryed to move the terminal out of the lower right corner [04:26] it went up n got stuck [04:26] Djzylex, did you upgrade? maybe it's missing a script file-- it sounds like it's calling a failsafe X script [04:26] i did do an upgrade [04:26] you think thats the prob? [04:26] I just heard some strange sounds from my laptop in the region of my hard drive so I checked out the SMART status and saw this... [04:26] http://img7.imagebanana.com/img/0tfjfc49/Selection_010.png [04:26] can anyone help me interpret this? === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [04:27] the "value" seems very high but is normalized low and marked "good" [04:27] Djzylex, try to install all unity related for its desktop [04:27] Djzylex, apt-cache search unity [04:28] k brb === MsAshley is now known as AgoristGirl === AgoristGirl is now known as AshleyWaffle [04:28] k it ran a bunch of stuff [04:28] bash still there though [04:28] I am currently running 10.04 and am trying to upgrade to 12.04 and when I run "sudo do-release-upgrade" it says that there are not current upgrades… my release-upgrades files is set to "lts"…. shouldn't this update to 12.04 since it is an LTS? [04:30] would upgrading the kernel cause me to get errors when trying to install new nvidia drivers with './' or 'sh' in console? sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_x64-295.53.run says it cant find the file...... sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_x64-295.53.run says it can't open the file.\ [04:30] okay, that SMART value is a rate, not a count [04:30] nevermind! [04:30] yo how the fuck does ubuntu install in 8 minutes on my quad core laptop, when windows 7 takes 45 mins? [04:31] lyscer: silly question but you did 'sudo apt-get update' first of course, right? [04:31] its insane! [04:31] ego, haha, no let me try that [04:31] Yankees52: well for starters you're comparing an image of less than 700MB with one of closer to 3GB [04:31] Yankees52: but still, probably superior to Windows [04:32] ejo, same result [04:32] hi, I downloaded eclipse from their site, but I can't seem to execute it; it just says "cannot execute binary file" [04:32] reisio: what do you mean? [04:32] oh nm [04:32] lyscer: I was afraid of that. It wasn't likely that your system didn't already have its catalog updated. [04:32] racarter: eclipse is in the universe repo, use Ubuntu Software Center [04:33] lyscer: sorry I can't help more, it's out of my expertise. I suspect a sledgehammer solution would be to reinstall your package manager machinery but I'm sure others can suggest gentler approaches. [04:33] reisio, I prefer not to use that one. either way I should be able to run a manual download, no? [04:33] I've done it many times in the past... [04:33] racarter: yes, but I prefer you didn't [04:33] ego, I know I can change the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file to normal, but was wondering if there was a "better" approach [04:33] sorry, I'm not going to use the one in the repo... [04:34] in fact an old installation of eclipse that I had working about a year ago also doesn't work [04:35] racarter: doesn't seem like you're going to use one, then [04:35] my assumption is the only thing that changed was when I upgraded ubuntu [04:35] lyscer: The fastest solution would be to just reinstall it - given your /home is on a seperate partition. Cause even if you get it to 'work', dist-upgrades tend to fail quite frequently... [04:35] racarter: Oracle bought Sun [04:36] sepArate [04:36] reisio: I'm using openjdk [04:36] or more accurately sep-a(h)-rate [04:36] muh4ha, what do you mean "reinstall it" the OS? [04:36] actually I also installed openjdk-7 from 6 so that also changed [04:37] lyscer: that is: he doesn't know how to fix it === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [04:37] that said, if you find yourself trying to fix it for longer than an install takes... [04:37] as absurd as reinstalling Linux is [04:37] haha, gotcha [04:38] lyscer: yeah, just install 12.04 or whatever you want. And reisio: he's already taking longer and I'm no native speaker, so sry 'bout that. Also it's 6 am :P [04:38] gr, cannot connect to my ubuntu PC using tightvnc in windows. realvnc is running vncserver on the ubuntu PC. does anyone have ideas? [04:38] vnc: disable windows firewall as a test? [04:38] vnc: how are you startin g the vncserver? [04:38] how can i completly remove an application from ubuntu [04:39] muh4ha: just stating facts, no reflection on you [04:39] sudo apt-get remove ? [04:39] shadykhan: purge opeion removes all system configs [04:39] shadykhan: better to use Software Center [04:39] shadykhan: neither WILL remove the uses settings [04:39] Dr_Willis: I have used tightvnc from windows to connect to other boxes before, so its not a firewall issue. I'm doing "vncserver :1 &" [04:40] so what is the correct syntax of using purge? [04:40] vnc: chck the vncserver logs in your .vnc dir. see if the vncserver box can connect to it self (from the x desktop) vnc localhost:1 [04:40] shadykhan, probably apt-get --purge remove [04:40] oops vncviewer ;) [04:41] thax jagginess [04:41] vnc, you can also use the nomachine's nx binary client (it's pure gpl, and has an interface for vnc connections, in advanced settings) [04:41] vnc: how i normally do it.. ssh to the linux box with putty, run vnc, make note pf the ip/port, then use vncviewer on windows. I rarely use the :1 option to force a display. it may be you allready got somthing on :1 [04:42] compiz is not working on gnome 3. Any help? [04:42] neo1691: you mean in gnome-shell? or Unity? [04:43] gnome shell [04:43] how do I tell if I'm running 32 bit ubuntu or 64 bit? [04:43] gnome-shell has its own window manager. you are trying to override it and use compiz? [04:43] neo1691: gnome shell doesn't use compiz [04:44] xangua, oh, any way of making it work on gnome 3?? [04:44] racarter: uname -i [04:44] Dr_Willis: This is exactly what I do as well for my other boxes. I'm not sure why the vncviewer on windows wont find it. I can ssh to the box, and sftp to it fine... [04:44] neo1691: you are saying gnome3 when you mean 'with gnome-shell' [04:44] neo1691: use unity, unity uses compiz [04:44] ok then next question is, is there any way to easily switch to ubuntu 64 bit without reinstalling everything? [04:44] racarter: no [04:44] vnc: other then check the logs and the localhost test. not sure where else to look [04:44] Dr_Willis, I installed gnome shell and logged in with gnome 3 session [04:45] neo1691: and gnome-shell runs on top of X, and uses its own window manager. compz is also a window manager [04:45] gnome3 is not a window manager. ;) [04:45] Dr_Willis: so you're suggesting trying "vncviewer localhost:0" from a terminal? [04:45] vnc: on the machine running the vnc server yes. [04:45] Make a new word: Combine/add-strings/concatenate of atomic element number 3 with the 6 letter name of this convention [04:46] vnc: but it wouldent be :0 [04:46] 0: would be the cirrent visible desktop i imagine [04:46] Dr_Willis, Okay!! I see now, thanks [04:46] ok, then final question, is it possbile that the auto upgrade for ubuntu installed 32 bit stuff when I used to be 64 bit? [04:46] If vino is runninmg [04:46] doesn't Ubuntu still come with a VNC server by default? That you just enable? [04:46] Dr_Willis, 1 second let me check my box. [04:46] reisio: thats vini and lets you see the current desktop.. vnc has more advanced features then that. [04:46] vino [04:46] a program I had manually installed that used to work no longer works and I suspect it is because I'm no on 32 bit ubuntu instead of 64 bit [04:47] Vino also has - well.. issues.. its been very buggy for me in the past [04:47] because I'm no longer on* [04:47] Dr_Willis: and he needs the more advanced features? [04:47] reisio: if hes using a healess server, or wanting a desktop while the other is in use by someone else.. yes. [04:47] so you don't know [04:48] he said hes sshing in and runnign vncserver, so aparently he dosent want to use vino [04:48] Dr_Willis: vncviewer on the local box works fine. It is definitely an issue with the windows vncviewer connecting to the box. [04:48] vnc: what vic viewer are you using: [04:48] Dr_Willis: tightvnc [04:48] ive found 'ultravnc' worked well on wiondows. - not really ran tightvnc on it in ages. [04:49] vnc: disable the windows firewall completely as a test. sould be the next thing to try. [04:50] Dr_Willis: Just did it. No luck. [04:50] so you're using which server? [04:51] reisio: I believe it's realvnc, although its not named that in the repository [04:51] if it were me, I'd use tigervnc for both server and viewer [04:51] you want to graphically administer a server? [04:52] Dr_Willis: I've tried connecting with the hostname and ip. But the viewer can't find it. [04:52] ok i fix one problem another comes [04:52] my whole unity setup isnt starting [04:52] reisio: realvnc is a much better server, works fine and I have lots of experience with it. I'm using tightvnc as the viewer in windows remotely [04:52] whats the command to get it running [04:52] vnc: isn't there a realvnc viewer for win32?

Anyone know why this is? [05:19] hey guys how can i disable system beep in 10.04 ? [05:20] darbe: how you did the upgrade? [05:20] darbe: because you are using 11.10 with the repos from 12.04 [05:20] I am listing to music with headphone and the beep sound is always there ? [05:20] how do i disable it system wide ? [05:21] darbe: fr the last please cpp-4.6-base instead of ccp-4.6-base [05:22] Shiver: everything fine [05:23] Shiver: wine1.5 is a metapackage for the newest version of wine1.5.x [05:23] iceroot: usuall way [05:23] yes [05:23] but 1.5.6 is latest [05:23] and it continues to give me 1.5.5 [05:23] iceroot: it said there is an upgrade i said let's do it [05:23] check winehq.org [05:23] Shiver: ask the one mantaining the ppa you are using [05:23] Shiver: its not a ubuntu repo [05:24] iceroot: can I reverse it [05:24] darbe: no [05:24] can I complete it?

I think my ubuntu doesn't [05:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1034951/ [05:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1034952/ [05:27] how do i force quit a frozen chrome window? [05:27] Hi! I feel my ubuntu doesn't know when to use more CPU and when it needs less. For example, I'm in performance mode (CPU freq indicator) and playing a game and it does very slowly, the fan doesn't sound. Then, suddenly it runs at normal speed and the fan is working (as a signal that is using more CPU), but later, for no reason, gets to low performance again. It happens like that with everything. Why this happens? How to fix it? [05:27] or program in general? [05:28] Have an issue where I can't delete a folder even as root, says its read only [05:28] darbe: disable the repo from the second paste which is giving 404 [05:28] darbe: then rerun the last command and paste it [05:28] Jeremy3D: the 'xkill' command is handy. run it, click the app to kill with extreme prejudice [05:28] darbe: also i have to go in 2 minutes so another person here should handle it [05:29] iceroot: thanks for your attention. How can I disable it? [05:30] iceroot: thanks, I see what you mean. The repo is part of launchpad, not ubuntu. This is going outside the scope of Ubuntu questions, but if I wanted to not use the latest version in the repo, but rather a newer or older version, how would I go about doing that? [05:30] i wonder if he xkilled his irc client... [05:30] Hi folks. I have a question about setting the default browser. [05:30] in Ubuntu Precise [05:31] iceroot: is the only way to build from source? [05:31] Dr_Willis, ty [05:31] javierf_, "gets the low performance again" do you mean it gets literally "ondemand" or "powersave" [05:32] I'm using Lubuntu and I just installed LibreOffice. There is supposed to be a report builder extension included in LibreOffice Base, but I don't see it. Any ideas how to get that extension installed? [05:32] The browser is in a tarball package that I've extracted into a folder. I double click the launcher to run it. I want to set this as my default browser. Any suggestions pl? [05:33] hi, what command to kill all process by a specific user/ [05:33] name [05:33] room [05:34] dontknow, in CPU freq it stays in performance mode, but everything goes slow and I have the feeling is not using the CPU the situation requires (program runs slow, no fun, no warming...) [05:34] wookienz: pkill [05:35] Anyone? [05:36] javierf_, "watch grep \"cpu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo" you can use this command to see realtime cpu frequency, [05:36] fleakite: normally its not a good idea to use the tar.gz browser packages. [05:36] Dr_Willis, Noted :) Any answers for my question? [05:37] theres ppas for all the latrst browsers anyway. [05:37] I need help, i ran sudo chmod -x folder_name and now all the files in that folder has been wiped, also the files are nor getting deleted [05:37] chrome and ff here i recall have a 'set browser to be your default..' in theor menus [05:37] fleakite: echo $BROWSER ? [05:37] or i may be thinking of chrome, and chromium [05:37] fleakite: otherwise it'd be something hidden in gconf [05:38] dontknow, I'm afraid I don't understand the output really well. I get four cpus with 1199.00 [05:38] fleakite: System -> System Setings -> Default Applications ? [05:38] Playing with newsbeuter tonight. Anybody use it regularly? [05:38] reisio, It doesn't show under there [05:38] fleakite: but the default apps thing is there? [05:39] fleakite: there's not button to browser for a random executable? [05:39] dontknow, well, i see now if I change cpu freq indicator i indeed change the output of that command and works properly [05:39] reisio, Yes. But under "Browser" there is no option for "Custom" [05:39] fleakite: k, job for the gconf tool, then [05:40] dontknow, but it still surprise me that I start playing a game and have normal speed and then it start getting slowly, but doesnt feel it's using all cpu available (no fan, no heat...) === MikeB is now known as technoviking [05:40] reisio, How do I do it using gconf? === dpb__ is now known as Guest73293 [05:41] I need help, i ran sudo chmod -x folder_name and now all the files in that folder has been wiped, also the files are nor getting deleted [05:42] fleakite: onfiguration-editor>desktop>applications>browser ? [05:42] javierf_, maybe there is a issue with indicator lol use that comman istead of indicator "sudo cpufreq-set -g performance" [05:42] javierf_, that command set all cores performance [05:43] neo1691: a directory has to be 'executable' for a user to access the contents [05:43] fleakite: or try sudo update-alternatives --config x--www-browser [05:43] !permissions | neo1691 [05:43] neo1691: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [05:43] you mean, I use "sudo cpufreq-set -g performance" to set all cores to performance? [05:44] javierf_, yes [05:44] Shiver: specially for wine i would suggest to use "playonlinux" which is designed to manage different wine versions [05:44] dontknow, but it doesnt work, says "cpufrq-set" order not found [05:45] darbe: in one of the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ or directly in /etc/apt/sources.list is the ppa which is causing 404, just remove that line [05:45] reisio, It says no alternatives for x-www-browser. I'm trying to edit desktop/gnome/applications/browser/exec [05:46] iceroot: Should I uninstall my current version of wine before attempting to get this? [05:46] javierf_, install "sudo apt-get install cpufrequtils" [05:46] Hi guy, I want to use ubuntu as OS on beaglebone, how do i do it [05:46] javierf_, and use the command that i gave [05:48] beaglebone? Heard of a beaglebord befor. [05:48] Dr_Willis: Beaglebone is their beagleboard thing, I just looked it up like 5 minutes ago without even seeing this :P [05:49] Dr_Willis: more news into my vnc problem - gotomyvnc.com doesn't seem to reveal a vncserver available to the outside world. correct ports are open on router. Any ideas? [05:49] Shiver: no [05:49] Editing gconftool doesn't work :( [05:49] fleakite: should be in configuration editor somewhere [05:49] vnc i thought having vnc open to the wild internet was a bad idea. ;) i never do it that way. [05:49] Shiver: playonlinux is using WINEPREFIX and will not overwrite your current wine [05:49] vnc unless firewall rules are in place on the ubuntu boc. not really any ideas here [05:50] Shiver: imo playonlinux is the best way to manage different wine versions because not every program is running best with the newest wine but maybe with an older wine version, also playonlinus is using special wine version for each program [05:50] Dr_Willis, hm okay, will investigate more. Thank you! === ura is now known as Guest32937 [05:50] iceroot: I couldn't find it [05:50] Dr_Willis, Solved!! Thanks again!! [05:51] Shiver: for other programs then wine there are different solutions to use other versions then the one from the repos (and normally that will end up in dependency-fights) [05:52] Maybe I need to log out and log back in [05:52] darbe: output of "grep -r ppa /etc/apt/sources.list*" [05:52] brb [05:52] darbe@darbe-Satellite-P755:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ grep -r ppa /etc/apt/sources.list [05:52] # deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jason-scheunemann/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main [05:52] # deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jason-scheunemann/ppa/ubuntu precise main # disabled on upgrade to precise [05:53] wait [05:53] darbe: there must be more [05:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1034966/ [05:55] javierf_, did you make it? [05:55] Dr_Willis, I figured it out [05:55] darbe: you love ppas?

[05:56] iceroot: when i need to install something they give pps [05:56] ppa [05:56] darbe: normally the ubuntu repos are fine, using so much ppas is not a good idea (imo) [05:57] darbe: because you are installing software which may result in dependency issues (like your current issue) [05:58] iceroot: i don't know i am curious this stuff [05:59] iceroot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1034970/ [05:59] anyone here have ati hd2400 or hd3x series card?

[06:37] iceroot: Already asked my question a while ago. Didn't get a reply. So, trying again. :-) [06:37] aLearner: i dont not see usefull details in the questions === kInOzAwA is now known as osX64 [06:37] aLearner: it was just the normal "does not work, how to fix questions" [06:37] !details | aLearner [06:37] aLearner: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [06:38] iceroot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1035009/ some part of it [06:38] iceroot and Chuck_Norris: Thank you. === Guest32937 is now known as st0l3m [06:38] am I still on test test [06:39] yep I guess so [06:39] wilee-nilee: no. ;) [06:39] that is something you dont want to see on an upgrade "Processing was halted because there were too many errors." [06:39] darbe: fastes way "backup your home and your settings on /etc/" and reinstall [06:39] darbe: and dont use so much ppas in the future [06:39] darbe: the ppas killed your system [06:40] iceroot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1035006/ [06:40] iceroot: ppas aren't all bad [06:40] Ben64: if they change gcc and libc things, they are evil [06:40] Ben64: and that is what happend here [06:40] well yeah, but i use a lot for single programs [06:40] that would be the extreme side of ppa ;) [06:40] no danger in that [06:40] Ben64: if you know what you are doing, ppas are ok [06:41] whay cannot i remove them [06:41] but i agree, big system changers are no good [06:41] Ben64: but changing libc things is evil [06:41] it appears the "Privacy" icon in system settings isn't on my system even though I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 [06:41] how can i get it [06:41] darbe: you can start aptitide and aptitude will tell you what packages are corrupt and if i am correct aptitude will offer solutions [06:42] what is "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" in aptitude" [06:42] wouldn't it be possible to remove the offending ppa's and have everything fixed [06:42] Here are the details. I have two machines. One is running Ubuntu 12.04 and the other is running 11.10. I installed x2go on both of them using the instructions given here. http://codeghar.wordpress.com/2011/11/15/remote-desktop-in-ubuntu-oneiric-ocelot/ Then I typed x2goclient on the client machine and entered the necessary credentials. However, I get this error that I can't figure out. I've copied / pasted the error here ---> http://collabedit.com/mwv98 [06:42] Ben64: the ppas (11.10) are removed now from 12.04 but the update was already done [06:42] oh... [06:43] Ben64: over 200 hundreds packages are in state iU or iF (dpkg -l) [06:43] Ben64: gcc, libc and so on [06:43] eep [06:43] hopefully no packages are in Fu state [06:43] :) [06:44] iceroot: what is aptitide and aptitude [06:44] darbe: aptitude [06:44] aLearner: sry, i'm downloading a torrent and i can't open links =( mah internet connection is full [06:44] darbe: its something like apt-get but much more powerfull for dependency fights and its the recommend tool for installing stuff [06:44] Chuck_Norris: No worries. Thank you. [06:44] darbe: recommend in debian and not installed in ubuntu by default.... [06:45] i can't broweser anywhere =( [06:45] Chuck_Norris: Not to worry. Thank you for trying to help. :-) [06:46] darbe: the main problem is that you already installed packages which are newer then the packages from 12.04 [06:46] darbe: and one of the packages is very important [06:47] iceroot: whcih one? [06:47] darbe: libc6 and gcc [06:47] Even a pointer to being troubleshooting would be helpful. I'm quite new at this. [06:47] iceroot: if newer packages release will my problem be solved? [06:47] darbe: no [06:47] darbe: because that will never happen [06:48] darbe: ubuntu will never provide a newer version within one release, just security updates [06:48] iceroot: 12.10? [06:48] darbe: there are a few packages which will have newer version but most of the packages will not get major updates [06:48] aLearner: but... if you try teamviewer or vino which is already installed in ubuntu? [06:48] darbe: i guess 12.10 is stable like your current installation... [06:49] darbe: dont use 12.10 or but something with 12.10 in your repos [06:49] put [06:49] iceroot: if 12.10 will be released, can my problem be solved? [06:49] darbe: i dont know [06:49] and thats a long wait [06:49] iceroot: i will keep trying [06:49] darbe: just make a backup and reinstall [06:50] i will play with aptitude [06:50] darbe: much faster then writing here or trying something [06:50] Chuck_Norris: I'm not familiar with either of those. Here's what I want to do. I have two machines. I want to be able to see the desktop of one machine from the other. One is running Ubuntu 11.10 and the other is running 12.04. I figured that x2go would be the easiest way to do this - given that I'm on a dial-up type of connection and can't afford to use too much bandwidth. [06:50] darbe: yes and try aptitude [06:50] iceroot: i HATE to reinstall [06:50] iceroot: i cannot learn [06:50] thanks a lot [06:50] iceroot: i think it needs more time [06:50] aLearner: x2go is very fast, yes but remeber x2go is NOT showing the current screen from the other machine, it will start a new session [06:51] aLearner: its something like a terminal server [06:51] aLearner: like freenx [06:51] aLearner: ye, with teamviewr you can manage remote desktops in LAN or remote [06:51] iceroot: OK. Cool. Thank you telling me. So, what do you suggest, then? [06:51] aLearner: what do you want? see the current screen? [06:52] aLearner: or have a terminal server? [06:52] Chuck_Norris: So, should I try installing teamviewr? [06:52] and with vino as well but with "vino" you have to open the 5900 port and pointing to the server [06:52] or use x forwarding to view a single app [06:52] aLearner: ye, install wine first [06:52] iceroot: I want to be able to do things like run a browser from the client - or type into gedit - things like that. [06:52] wine? thats nothing to do with vino [06:52] is it possible for someone to help me with something here? how to i find the root account. i want to enable it so that i can access my desktop and run guis as root. [06:53] !root > wetcircle [06:53] wetcircle, please see my private message [06:53] wine is for temviewer Dr [06:53] wetcircle: there is no default root accoung. and direct logging in to x as root is also locked down. [06:53] aLearner: sounds like a job for teamviewer or x-forwarding [06:53] aLearner: sudo apt-get install wine [06:53] Chuck_Norris: i think theres teamviewer native for linux [06:53] aLearner: and i bet you want teamviewer and not x-forwarding [06:53] why? [06:53] you think bad [06:53] Dr_Willis: its not native [06:53] that makes no sense. [06:53] iceroot: Roger that. How should I go about this, then? [06:53] Dr_Willis: its teamviewer.exe :) [06:53] Dr_Willis: the latest teamviewer version is using wine again why ever iirc [06:53] wetcircle: yes it does make sence. 'for security' reaspns [06:54] Chuck_Norris: Should I go ahead and get wine - or is teamviewer something completely different? [06:54] earlier versions didnt rely on wine iirc [06:54] aLearner: you need wine to run temviewer so: sudo apt-get install wine [06:54] aLearner: you need wine (sudo apt-get install wine) to use teamviewer (www.teamviewer.com) download there the *.deb file for ubuntu [06:54] Chuck_Norris: Should I do this on the client machine or the server machine? [06:54] aLearner: both [06:55] how am i soppuse to run an application that tells me everytime i try to run it that i don't have privileges. how am i suppose to delete and edit files in the file system folder. it's my system. you're telling me i can't have control of it? [06:55] iceroot: Roger that. Will do and report back. [06:55] iceroot: Thank you. [06:55] Chuck_Norris: Thank you.

[06:56] in the client side you have to write the ID and the password for the machine you wanna to manage [06:56] i think i've got it from here. [06:56] thanks. [06:56] debian is better than ubuntu?

[07:59] Zzzssss: do you not run on a desktop edition with the gui network-manager, that has a box to change dns that should stick [07:59] 12.04 desktop uses dnsmasq, see current settings /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf and change the settings from network-manager connection settings for the interface [08:00] weird .. http://us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com [IP: 10.202.26.15 80] has gone down, my ec2 server is not updating nginx .. how do i fix it? [08:00] scarlson: nop its not in GUI, its simple command line but with LAMP option installation.. [08:01] i ran the repair mode again it had alot of things fail im amazed i can see the desktop at all :/ [08:02] scarlson: i was reading this thing http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ [08:03] me [08:03] i think it will permantly changed through resolveconf but didnt get that how can i do it further through resolvconf command...

Could I use this page to try my wireless card in 12.04? ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Atheros/AR9285 ) [08:08] Hi, tryin to compile the xilinx USB driver as 32-bits for my 64-bits system and I'm getting followin error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1035088/. I have intalled ia32-libs ant multilib support packages [08:08] what could be the problem? [08:08] Zzzssss: yes as I read that looks like the new method modify /etc/network/interfaces I guess for static config [08:08] so any suggestions on my install? must be something i can try [08:09] I cannot see wireless networks avaible === griselda is now known as spex971 [08:10] wave: I think you need to install the other compiler that accepts -m32 as an option , I forget what the package name is [08:10] rie [08:10] oops, sorry. [08:10] wave: something like gcc multi [08:11] I havge installed that already [08:11] wave: what's the name of that package of the compiler? [08:13] wave: what compiler is it pointing too? [08:16] synaptic is not included by default in ubuntu, so how to remove older kernels without it, and without using apt-get? [08:16] that is, a clean front-end approach [08:17] pikkachu: try install it sudo apt-get install synaptic [08:18] hi,how to tweak debian installer frontend background? [08:19] hai all, where can I find the "Number of Glyphs" field in Fontforge font information? === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [08:27] ok. Ubuntu won't start after I make updates. It's dropping to initramfs. I used gparted and ran fsck. no luck yet. I troed to mount / and I got this: http://codepad.org/SVxMDnSc === arthur_ is now known as dsaasd [08:28] you think my problem may be that my sistem is 64bit? [08:28] system* [08:28] *tried [08:29] im not too sure but i may have had some i386 packages on my 11.10 system [08:29] so I understand it's a mount problem due to wrong command. please how do I resolve this? Recovery mode is also dropping to initramfs [08:30] drecute: can you try sudo mkdir /mnt2; sudo mount /dev/sdXX /mnt2 ; I'm not sure you can mount root to root that way [08:30] I ran updates because I wanted to upgrade to 12.04 from 11.10 [08:31] drecute: sdXX must be changed to the partition used in your case for root [08:32] sacarlson: ok, I'm in there [08:32] drecute: does that mean it mounted? [08:32] sacarlson: thanks. So I guess I can make those changes now and ubuntu will mount / on rebott? [08:32] sacarlson: yes [08:33] drecute: I'm not sure at least we know that the disk superblock is ok [08:34] sacarlson: on boot, ubuntu complains of not able to mount / because it can't find /etc/auto.nfs. So I guess it's because there's some errors in that file [08:35] sacarlson: let me paste the content of /etc/auto.nfs [08:35] drecute: ok and also lets see sudo fdisk -l [08:35] ok [08:37] 好 [08:37] sacarlson: http://codepad.org/kjN963vm [08:39] drecute: so your home is on a remote nfs file system? [08:40] drecute: best we see /etc/fstab also [08:45] sacarlson: http://codepad.org/4BtFevPi === gwen_ is now known as gwen [08:47] drecute: it apears it's having problem connecting to your nfs server, can you even ping that name? [08:49] drecute: not sure how to correct this, I would setup a local /home/user2 or something that can at least boot so you can fix the nfs mount problem [08:50] how to erase recent items from unity? [08:51] drecute: then temp remove your nfs mounts from /etc/fstab. when you figure that out you can again put the nfs mounts back in [08:52] sacarlson: before doing updates the network settings were fine [08:52] I could ping it [08:52] drecute: oh updates not upgrades? [08:52] sacarlson: I think my network config has been reset after the update [08:52] sacarlson: yes [08:53] drecute: well in any case the corective action would be the same [08:54] sacarlson: so I should just remove the nfs entries from the fstab [08:54] drecute: I would keep a local account on the local disk just for this kind of problem to make it easy to isolate and fix [08:54] drecute: that might be all that's needed is remove those lines if a root account is enabled [08:54] sacarlson: I have a local account and I'm using a local account [08:55] drecute: I didn't see any local mount to /home so not sure what your local account is located [08:56] drecute: the root account is normaly located at /root [08:56] drecute: so it won't be a part of /home [08:56] yea [08:56] root account is available at /root [08:57] drecute: so just remove those nfs lines from /etc/fstab it should boot ok, login as root and isolate the nfs mount problem and fix it [08:57] sacarlson: there are always no entries for /home in fstab [08:57] ok [08:57] just give me a minute [08:58] one question is I hope I can write directly to /mnt2 and it will have effect on /? [08:58] Have a question regarding usb wifi cards. [08:59] drecute: oh your /home is all local I thought /users was your home [09:00] drecute: yes default is to mount read write [09:00] sacarlson: /users is nfs mount, I have a script that periodically sends all accounts at /home to /users [09:01] drecute: I wonder if I'm totaly wrong, is anything mounted to /users now? [09:02] sacarlson: that's autofs mount in /etc/auto.nfs file [09:02] sacarlson: i'm also removing that === jamestunnicliff_ is now known as jamestunnicliffe [09:03] drecute: nfs must have changed as we didn't use auto.nfs before [09:04] sacarlson: yeah. Seems like a lot of changes went in there [09:06] rebootin... wich me luck [09:06] *wish [09:06] Hi, a deb package I downloaded failed during installation and now I am even unable to uninstall it . The error showing up is ' subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 [09:06] ' How do I fix this? [09:07] I plugged a usb wifi doggle to my desktop. I am able to connect the access point through the GUI. how can I do it in terminal? what command do I need to type? [09:07] angs: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch13_:_Linux_Wireless_Networking [09:08] amitprakash: that's scary I've fixed these before but forget how [09:08] thank you susundberg [09:09] amitprakash: for one thing what is it we installed? [09:10] sacarlson, resolved.. removed all files related to package followed by apt-get -f install [09:10] amitprakash: yup that was the command I remember [09:11] amitprakash: that doesn't always work but most the time it does [09:12] join #ubuntu-or-us === jeff_ is now known as Guest51578 === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [09:21] Hi. I'm on Unity-2D and the Alt+F2 shortcut is not working. Trying to set it in system settings -> keyboard -> shortcuts fails because, there it says "Disabled" and the word "Disabled" is italicized. Any ideas what to do? [09:22] potofcoffee: what is it you want ALT+f2 to do? [09:23] Open the "Run command" window [09:23] potofcoffee: do you want to open a console? ALT++f2 [09:24] sacarlson: No, I know about that. In older Gnome/Unity desktops, Alt+F2 used to open just a commandline to execute a single command. [09:24] That's what I want back. [09:25] potofcoffee: tap ALT [09:25] There's an entry for that in system settings->keyboard->shortcuts, but as I said, it's disabled. [09:26] Tapping alt invokes the hud, but is that equivalent to the former Alt+F2? [09:26] ahh nvm nope [09:26] its a command for the current active window :/ [09:26] That's what I figured. [09:27] potofcoffee: sorrry I run 10.04 ya ALT+f2 opens the box to run an app for me [09:28] sacarlson: The dash? Or just the little window to "run a command"? [09:28] My ubuntu server has two nics - I want SSH to listen on 22 on both interfaces, but also port 80 and 443 only on 1 NIC so I can have apache listening on the other one - anyone know how to do that? [09:28] I have apache done [09:28] potofcoffee: could it be that you have disabled alt+f2 i.e. using ubuntu tweak in the past? [09:28] potofcoffee: opens the gui box to run a command [09:28] sacarlson: that's the one I want [09:29] potofcoffee: alternative quick idea: just use another launcher as 'run' alternative -> i can recommend Kupfer [09:29] fidel: I don't think so, but let me open ubuntu tweak and check [09:29] potofcoffee: http://technostripe.com/quick-tip-disable-altf2-run-dialog-with-ubuntu-tweak/ [09:29] c00p: Your question doesn't make sense to me. Can you try again? [09:30] ok [09:31] I have two NICS in my server. I want to configure SSHD to listen on TCP port 22 on both nice [09:31] *NICs [09:31] c00p: you'll need to run seperate ssh instances [09:31] eth0 and eth1 [09:31] ikonia: was trying not having to do that [09:31] c00p: the first instance listen *:22 [09:31] c00p: that's the only way [09:31] ok [09:31] ta [09:31] c00p: you could look at using iptables to redirect the other ports to 22 [09:32] c00p: that way ssh only listens on 22, but iptables redirectss 80 and 443 to 22 [09:32] yup [09:32] that is how I will do it [09:32] thanks :) [09:32] only on eth1 [09:32] done [09:32] c00p: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:32] thankyou [09:32] fidel: not disabled in ubuntu tweak :-( [09:32] what driver do i need for TP-Link TL-WN727N usb Wireless stich on lubuntu 11.10? [09:32] what are my disadvantages when using pae instead of amd64 with 4gb ram? only 1.8gb for each process? i cant use amd64 because of big issues with opengl and wine [09:32] stick* === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [09:33] saleem_: plug it in and hope it just works === mojo_ is now known as Guest37394 [09:34] saleem_: paste: lsusb [09:34] sacarlson, it is plugged in but lubuntu did not pick it [09:34] ok [09:34] iceroot: only for each process, yes, but that doesn't sound like it would be a huge issue [09:34] iceroot, that and you will not be able to run applications compiled for amd64 [09:35] http://pastie.org/4066396 [09:36] saleem_: sudo rmmod iwlwifi ; sleep 5 ; sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 [09:36] ok thank Chuck_Norris [09:36] shouldnt it be possible to use an amd64 kernel with 32bit userland? [09:37] iceroot: you'll still be limited with the userland [09:37] iceroot: easier to just stick to 32bit or 64bit [09:37] so i can adress more then 4gb complete and dont have to use pae but each process can only use 32bit adresses [09:37] Chuck_Norris, i get an error ERROR: Module iwlwifi does not exist in /proc/modules [09:37] FATAL: Module iwlwifi not found. [09:37] iceroot: do you have processes that use large ammounts of ram ? [09:37] Hi. I've setup precise on a machine which are allocated static IP. However /etc/resolv.conf are blanked each time the machine is rebooted. Where should I put dns entries if not in resolv.conf? [09:37] the libs will still only be 32bit thus stuck to 32bit [09:37] ikonia: vbox (3gb) and wine (1.5gb) [09:38] iceroot: vbox isn't 3gb in one binary though is it, it's seperated out [09:38] ikonia: it is? [09:38] ikonia: ok then vbox is no issue [09:38] hello. i installed 12.04/i386 non-pae and the installed kernel gets stuck on startup. any ideas? [09:38] some package is missing [09:39] saleem_: ok, paste: lsmod [09:39] iceroot: I'm actually struggling to see an application limit in the PAE documentation [09:39] Chuck_Norris, http://pastie.org/4066414 [09:40] ikonia: pae is 1.8gb imo for each process [09:40] iceroot: where have you seen that documented (I'm struggling to find anything solid) [09:40] ikonia: and i dont know what wine is doing with diablo3 (and its not working on amd64) [09:40] ikonia: this torvalds pae sucks mailinglist [09:41] iceroot: got to be honest, wine is not a solution you should depend on in my view, want to play windows games....user windows [09:41] iceroot: ah, I'll check out that thread/list [09:41] saleem_: try: modprobe rt2800usb [09:41] ikonia: windows is never an option [09:41] ikonia: for me [09:41] does anyone know how to change the logging level in dovecot? [09:42] iceroot: well, you may have to live with the limitations then [09:42] ikonia: so i guess a linux dual boot... with i386 for diablo and amd64 for the rest is the way to go [09:42] ok Chuck_Norris and will this link help ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1566639 [09:42] s/i386/pae [09:42] iceroot: if you are going to dual boot 2 linux distros to play a windows game...that seems backwards, you may as well dual boot a windows partition [09:42] saleem_: sry: sudo modprobe rt2800usb [09:42] yes i did that Chuck_Norris [09:42] ikonia: will you pay the windows licence and the av scanner? [09:43] more so as it's harder to manage two linux distros in a dual boot enviornment than a linux/windows dual boot [09:43] ikonia: :) [09:43] could be [09:43] iceroot: well, the windows baisc lincense is pretty much the cost of a game these days, and security essentials is free [09:43] iceroot: seems silly to buy $50 games but refuse to pay the %50 needed to run these games stable, but that's your call [09:44] ikonia: seems silly to install ubuntu when not everything from the hardware is working correctly (e.g. battery lifetime) instead of spending some money to get it full working... :) [09:45] iceroot: it's not working, you can't use the applications/games you want [09:45] iceroot: again, that's your call though, [09:45] re pae, not sure about 1.8GB, but windows splits memory 50/50 between user/kernel so userland in 4Gb is around 2Gb yeah [09:45] in linux the split is 75/25 i think? [09:46] ikonia: but thanks, i will think about it [09:46] why would you go 32bit now? acicula [09:46] does it matter anymore? [09:47] krababbel: there is no reason to go 32bit now, unless for legacy reasons [09:47] krababbel: because of this multiarch thing i cant use 32bit opengl libs on my system which are needed [09:47] krababbel: my driver (bumblebee) has missing support for that on amd64 [09:47] Bumblebee is an effort to make NVIDIA Optimus enabled laptops work in GNU/Linux systems. Such feature involves two graphics cards with two different power consumption profiles plugged in a layered way sharing a single framebuffer. [09:47] iceroot: oh, I'd buy windows to play games and do something more fun instead [09:47] hmmm - I have the NAT rule in prerouting - no good. Get a TCP Reset sent [09:48] running 'iptables -t nat -L -n -v' I see my NAT rule redirecting to TCP 22 [09:48] c00p: why are you natting to redirect a port [09:49] iceroot: honestly if you get it to work it is cumbersome to use by the looks of it, optimus does not mix well with ubuntu [09:49] c00p: the guys in #netfilter should be able to help you out with your rules [09:49] this I need '/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward' to have a 1 in it [09:49] c00p: you don't need to nat do redirect a port [09:50] c00p: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [09:50] Chuck_Norris: ta - just trying to work out if I need forwarding tho === Gallomimia_ is now known as Gallomimia [09:51] sacarlson: no luck yet [09:51] iceroot: since diablo 3 is opengl, maybe even a virtual machine could work, if you got pcie passthrough support, maybe [09:51] hello [09:51] oh [09:51] it works [09:51] drecute: so taking out the lines in /etc/fstab fails to get it to boot? [09:51] krababbel: diablo 3 runs on POL very well [09:52] yes [09:52] Chuck_Norris: not on amd64 with optimus [09:53] krababbel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1035201/ [09:53] Chuck_Norris: ah, so it seems just a optimus issue then. [09:53] idk about optimus, the procesor and the GPU is the most important [09:54] what is the command to restart network interfaces? [09:54] is there a way to tell the kernel from bootloader to ignore some module on boot? [09:54] sacarlson: please do you know what else I can do to get out of this? [09:54] so, use, the alternative to optimus i don't remember its name =P [09:55] optimus issues? [09:55] When I create a LVM volume on a drive, and then subsequently remove the drive from the system, everytime i make any lvm related command, ti tries to access the missing drive, stating that cant find the drive with UUID xxx, anyone knows how to get rid of these old references? [09:56] i think nvidia was recently developing optimus for linux [09:56] drecute: I'm not sure what's stoping it from booting, it's not mounting root? [09:56] Rofl lvm [09:56] the error is: mounting /etc/auto.nfs on /root failed [09:57] hmm. /root/ is the root users home dir. [09:57] bumblebee is the alternative to optimus [09:57] why would that beed to be on a nfs share? [09:58] drecute: if /etc/fstab has nfs removed why should it care? [09:58] i have downloaded vlc but i cant install it [09:58] Dr_Willis: /root is not on nfs share [09:58] harsha: why not use the package manager tppls to install it? its in the repos [09:58] I don't have a mount for /home anywhere [09:58] Quick question, when i plug in a usb wifi nic, and a wlan1 interface is not made, do i have a card driver issue, or a usb problem? (LSUSB lists the card, and everything looks good) [09:59] no i cant [09:59] harsha: why not? what did you download exactly: [09:59] i downloaded a .tz file [09:59] i extracted it but nothing happened [09:59] harsha: so extract it and run the binaries inside.. but thats not the reccomended way... [10:00] Hello i'm getting this line while trying to install Ubuntu on my PC (initramfs) [10:00] ok [10:00] dataphreak: you could look 'ip link' to see if the ip interface is there I guess [10:00] Pls what should I do. Thanks [10:00] harsha: what did yiou expect to happen when you extracted it? [10:00] krababbel: it's not. I have an onboard card in wlan0. It should go to wlan1, but ifconfig wlan1 says it doesn't exist. [10:01] i expected it to install like it happens in windows [10:01] i am new to linux [10:01] sacarlson: i suspect it not loading the new changes [10:01] harsha: linux is not windows. You should be using the software center to install programs [10:01] yep [10:01] harsha: not downloading random files off the internets [10:01] I'm getting this line (initramfs) while installing ubuntu on my system [10:01] drecute: the new changes being what a different kernel? [10:02] harsha: it may not even be a compiled bersion of vlc in the archive. [10:02] kraabbel: also of note, dmesg only posts 1 line when i plug it in, just listing that the device is connected. [10:02] Someone pls answer me [10:02] sacarlson: i meant the changes made to /etc/fstab and /etc/auto.master [10:02] Dotman14: your info is a little.. lacking.. the whole line just says 'initramfs' and thats it? [10:02] dotman14: not much to go on. [10:02] drecute: remount the root and view it to verify it stuck [10:03] dataphreak: sorry, don't know, I guess the driver module isn't loaded [10:03] Chuck_Norris: Am back - if you're still around. :-) [10:03] Dataphreal [10:03] sacarlson: from within gparted? [10:03] i opened terminal and typed vlc and it gave me a link [10:03] (initramfs) [10:04] krababbel: is there a log i can check for errors? [10:04] (initramfs) is initramfs shell [10:04] aLearner: as they wrote the ssh with x11 fordwarding would be better [10:04] What should I type next to install Ubuntu? [10:04] read above it [10:04] to see what the error is [10:04] harsha: why are noy not uing the software center to install vlc? or just do a 'sudo apt-get install vlc' [10:04] drecute: if your at gparted that must mean it booted then [10:04] dataphreak: no idea, i am new here [10:04] will probably be something like not being able to find the root device [10:04] Chuck_Norris: As who wrote? [10:04] krababbel: i'm really leaning more towards a usb conflict than drivers. as far as i'm aware, it's not even trying to load drivers for the device. [10:04] i typed it but at last it gave me a eula document [10:05] becouse you wont be able to see the ID and the password in the remote machin, and i don't find any command line that could give you that info [10:05] i dont remember but someone worte it [10:05] dataphreak: I haven't used wifi, or usb wifi yet [10:05] Ah. [10:05] Chuck_Norris: All right. So should we go down that route, then? [10:05] didn't* find... [10:05] was at last but i dont know what to do next [10:06] Anyone else have experience with the rtl8188ru chipset? [10:06] harsha: we really have no clue what you extracxted or ran or are doing. [10:06] Chuck_Norris: How about trying to get x2go to work - coming back full circle here... [10:06] drecute: at what state of boot can you get to now? if your ad gparted is that from a live cd? [10:06] oh crap it is installing [10:06] ye that's what i think but i don't remember right now how to do it, but i could check into my files for some walkthrough [10:07] harsha: if its displaying some ok button to press. use teb/space/enter to select it.. [10:07] tab/space/enter [10:07] idk about x2go [10:07] sacarlson: yes. from a live cd [10:07] yep i did it [10:07] Chuck_Norris: That would be super cool - and I'd be grateful for your help. [10:07] sacarlson: I'm currently within gparted [10:07] Chuck_Norris: Been struggling to get something going. [10:07] i pressed tab and it worked [10:08] hey guys how can i disable beep sound in xterm ? [10:08] pratz: xset -b off (i think) [10:08] Chuck_Norris: So we're gonna try ssh + X11 forwarding - right? [10:08] drecute: so your problem now is you can't mount nfs? [10:09] sacarlson: i guess so [10:09] drecute: oh didn't read the above note about live ced [10:09] cd [10:09] dr_Willis thanks for ur help [10:09] ye, i know the command is: ssh -X... [10:09] harsha: ive no idea why you are doing things the hard way [10:09] Dr_Willis: tried not working [10:09] coz i am new to linux [10:10] pratz: it may be some other xset command.. [10:10] but let see... i think you have to configure ssh to allow X11 fordwarding [10:10] drecute: so viewing the /etc/fstab on your root failed to modify the removed nfs mounts? [10:10] harsha: opening software center, and looking for 'vlc' is rather easy [10:10] let me* see... [10:10] Chuck_Norris: OK... :-) [10:10] sacarlson: after making changes I see no effect. [10:11] drecute: i don't care how you mount it, if you prefer gparted to mount stuf [10:11] dr: willis yep [10:11] it is still making reference to a file I have renamed [10:11] Anyone else have experience with the rtl8188ru chipset? [10:11] sacarlson: i renamed /etc/auto.nfs to /etc/auto.nfs2 and on reboot it is still making reference to /etc/auto.nfs [10:12] Please, how can I search for files containing some text ? (GUI Please :) [10:12] hm i have ubuntu 12.something and i'm using it with unity. is it possible to add a bar at the bottom of the desktop, with all opened programs [10:12] drecute: so you didn't modify /etc/fstab? [10:12] if yes, how? [10:12] Merwin: text IN the files? or file names? [10:12] sacarlson: I did [10:12] Dr_Willis: test IN files [10:12] sacarlson: I did both [10:12] wdp: i could tell you how to do it with gnome, but not unity. [10:12] Merwin: i think theres some gui tools in the reos for that. but i alwasy just use grep and tghe cli. ;) [10:13] drecute: I don't see any reference to that file /etc/auto.nfs I'm not familer with it [10:13] aLearner: in the client and in the server make sure you have this lines: X11Forwarding yes and X11DisplayOffset 10 [10:13] Dr_Willis: I don't understand why Nautilus doesn't supports that -_- [10:13] Chuck_Norris: OK...But where? [10:13] Sometime I just want to yell "Hey we are in 2012 ! Really guys?" [10:13] Merwin: never notied,. or looked.. nautilus has scriptable addons.. [10:13] dataphreak, pretty sure it'll be the same. how do you do that in gnome? I've been using xfce4 for years, so i have really no clue about gnome [10:13] ANyway, thanks... I'll search [10:13] sacarlson: i think autofs is making a reference to it [10:13] wdp: gnome-shell is nice [10:14] sey in: /etc/ssh/sshd_config [10:14] sry* xD [10:14] krababbel, well, i'd like to keep that weird thingy on the left on the desktop [10:14] there is a bar at the side by default though wdp [10:14] guys i have a tata photon plus but it is not being dedected by ubuntu!! but it works fine with windows [10:14] yeah. but in addition i'd like one at the bottom :) [10:14] wdp: there are extensions for gnome shell for the top bar for example [10:14] in gnome, the bars are customizable. [10:14] because the sidebar displays opened apps, though i have to scroll in the sidebar and opening an app by doing so takes years. [10:15] it is written as compatible with ubuntu [10:15] that's not made for fast clicking. [10:15] Hey does anyone know an app that can give me how much (internet/bandwith) data certain programs are using? I can find a lot of apps that give total download/upload but I want to find out for each process [10:15] wdp: it is made for typing it seems, like unity [10:15] Chuck_Norris: Roger that. Just checked. The lines exist both on the client and host. [10:17] hi all [10:17] sacarlson: i don't think I will ever have to upgrade to 12.04 [10:17] pity. [10:17] ye, restart the service as well [10:17] sacarlson: this seems like a big set back [10:17] Chuck_Norris: Restart which service? And how do I restart a service? [10:17] * Dr_Willis likes the unity HUD feaature. ;) and quicklists [10:17] wdp: do you have so many favourite apps in the side bar you have to scroll? [10:17] drecute: yup I'll stick with 10.04 and if I install 12.04 I'll never upgrade, I'll install it on a spare partition [10:18] * Kruptein feels the same as dr_willis [10:18] wdp: you could try to reduce its size, so there is more room [10:18] sudo service ssh restart but only if you modified the configuration file [10:18] hi are there any german here? [10:18] Chuck_Norris: No - didn't modify anything at all. The lines already existed in both files. [10:18] Kruptein, tried nethogs ? [10:18] krababbel, seems so. Also i'm always working with a lot of apps. I wouldn't say i'm a power user, though some of my friends do. Working with like 70 terminals and lots of open browsers + development tools like eclipse is just normal for me. [10:19] morsnowski: not yet I'll check it :) [10:19] krababbel, for that, such a bar at the bottom would be really handy. i guess you can imagine. [10:19] morsnowski: it seems to be what I need yh thanks :) [10:19] welcome [10:19] ok so don't restart the service just: ssh -X remote_user@remote_host [10:19] I really have to wonder whats in those 70 terminals.. ;) [10:19] drecute: I see this being someones fix Path:/to/share /mount/point nfs nfsvers=3,defaults 0 0 ; using nfs version 3 instead of 4 but you now have it removed [10:19] yes [10:19] or an application: ssh -X remote_user@remote_host firefox [10:20] wdp: hm, I'd use something like wmii then, you can script that [10:20] drecute: so maybe we are looking at the wrong thing, maybe it's not nfs that stops it from reboot [10:20] but that's keyboard controlled really wdp [10:20] sacarlson: is there no way to clear some cache or something [10:20] Chuck_Norris: I get ---> /usr/bin/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/myUserName/.Xauthority [10:20] Dr_Willis, different stuff. welcome to multitasking :) a calculator here, a compile there, a chrooted environment there, a few man pages there, some vim here.. it sums up. Probably i should start using screen, but somehow i don't like it [10:20] any ideas on what i could try to disable in order to get this one machine to boot? the non-pae kernel get stuck on boot. so far i've tried disabling acpi [10:20] * wdp shrugs [10:20] gets [10:21] sacarlson: how do I debug that? [10:21] wdp: been multitasking on my amiga since the 80's ;) [10:21] I just tried a du -csh /opt/ and it pretty much grownded the server to a halt, also tried with -max-depth=1 same problem. Im trying to find out whats taking up the space on that location? [10:21] wdp: or use workspaces to seperate and don't shutdown the maching [10:21] aLearner: can you login as root? [10:21] Chuck_Norris: On the server? Or client? [10:21] drecute: I have to assume if no mount in fstab that nfs isn't need, what log can be view at boot time? you have quiet turned off at boot? [10:22] use standby instead [10:22] morsnowski: you perhaps also know a windows equivalent? I already have the ubuntu one so you helped me enough already :) [10:22] on the remote server [10:22] q [10:22] Kruptein, no not really [10:22] i meant if ssh allow you login as root [10:22] morsnowski: k thanks anyway [10:22] Chuck_Norris: I'm sure that I can su once I'm inside the server [10:22] sacarlson: i can't say if it's turned off [10:23] hi guys. I'm going to have a tech discussion with the dev team leader in germany, I'm just wondering if it is rude to address that person on a first name basis [10:23] Chuck_Norris: How do I test if I can login as root? I don't know. [10:23] Using ubuntu-12.04 server with nfs-kernel-server and ubuntu-12.04 client where I am mounting my exported nfs directories. It works, except not for exports that export an already mounted directory. /home/foo is mounted on the server (it is an LVM) but the client mounts the rootfs under it (i.e. /home/foo from rootfs) [10:23] sacarlson: anyway for me to check on initramfs? [10:23] Dr_Willis, heh. My first box was an 80286. been 8 years old. 97' i've been the first time on internet, which is where i heard about linux. I think 99' or 00' i had my first tries using linux. in 03' i became a developer for a source based linux distribution, and now i'm taking a look at ubuntu for a few days - because i need some stuff fast, and source based doesn't give me that. [10:23] but, thats OT, sorry for that. [10:23] How would I allow it to mount the on-the-server mounted fs? [10:24] so i guess there's no different solution than getting rid of unity (by using gnome classic)? [10:24] aLearner: ssh root@remote_host [10:24] wdp: tried xfce? [10:24] I just updated - now my 3g dongle doesn't work. modprobe usbserial just hangs. [10:25] drecute: you can look in /var/log/syslog [10:25] wdp: just install gnome-shell and try it [10:25] cvr, i'm looking for a way to keep that unity-bar. xfce is what i'm used to. so i'd switch to that indeed. [10:25] not available in initramfs [10:25] Chuck_Norris: No, can't login as root. :-( [10:25] picochu: I'm not German, but it seems polite in the western world if you address a person directly to use their given name [10:26] picochu: I only know that in Asian countries it can be the opposite [10:26] wdp: the unity launcher or the top panel you are talking about? === tdubz is now known as tdubellz [10:26] picochu, i'm german -> if you don't know that person you'd use the lastname. [10:26] idk about that issue seems like your user don't have permissions on xuthority, but... idk [10:26] drecute: you would have to modify the grub2 settings to turn of quiet from the kernel boot line, that might at least tell you what worked, I'm not sure what you see on your screen at boot [10:27] picochu, if you know him/her you can use the first name. [10:27] wdp: but isn't it too formal? [10:27] Chuck_Norris: can't use -i eth0:0 ... -d works :) [10:27] slikts: just ask first [10:27] sacarlson: it's too fast. I can't grab anything [10:27] wdp This is our first meeting. So i guess it would be better if i use lastname? [10:27] Chuck_Norris: What now? [10:27] wdp: using the last name seems so formal that sometimes it's used to impart respect and show distance, like when teachers do it with students [10:28] slikts: usually we do that since it's different than in english [10:28] aLearner: you could modify the "/etc/ssh/ssh_config" file and allow root to login [10:28] picochu, yes. he will offer you to use the first name if its fine for him. [10:28] Chuck_Norris: Sorry but don't know how to do that... [10:28] xD [10:28] slikts: also last name just shows a little respect, nothing more [10:28] drecute: ya and can't be scrooled, not much I can do with out data to see [10:29] Chuck_Norris: I don't know what the root password is. [10:29] wpd, danke sehr :P [10:29] krababbel: well okay, if you say so [10:29] slikts: i am from austria :) [10:29] I know German a bit and I thought you were more free-wheeling [10:29] aLearner: but... if you don't have admins privilegies you couldn't modify anything =P [10:29] Chuck_Norris: Ah I see - I'm still not sure what the difference between sudo and root is. [10:29] Chuck_Norris: I can certainly sudo things around. [10:30] slikts: in english there is only you, but here we have a personla Du and a formal Sie, so it is a common separation, nothing to worry about [10:30] root is the super user that has all rights.. [10:30] drecute: oh can you try boot single user rescue? [10:30] sudo let normal users do rooty tasks [10:30] krababbel: I know, and it's also the same in my native language, since it's historically related to German [10:30] Dr_Willis: Cool. Thank you for the explanation. :-) [10:30] tey it if you want, once you login with ssh, just: nano /etc/ssh/ssh_config and check that the line "PermitRootLogin" says "yes" [10:31] try* it... [10:31] slikts: you can ask if Du is alright, so first name would be alright. A generally relaxed person would be fine with that in an interview [10:31] sacarlson: trying [10:32] slikts, it's only polite to do so. just checking. Working with germans is interesting. They are very fastidious [10:32] aLearner: sry, sudo nano /etc/ssh/ssh_config append yes to the line "PermitRootLogin" save and exit then restart the service with: sudo service ssh restart [10:32] krababbel: yep, now when you mention it I realize it's also the same for my language, maybe I'm infected by Americanism :) [10:32] Chuck_Norris: I don't see this line in my server file ---> "PermitRootLogin" [10:32] Chuck_Norris: sure its not sshd_config? [10:32] ok then write it [10:32] Chuck_Norris: Ah OK. Got it. [10:32] aLearner: why do you want to enable root login through ssh? [10:33] hello/? [10:33] picochu, you're welcome, if you want to know more, just pm me, as it's offtopic :) [10:33] sacarlson: isn't that the same as recovery mode? [10:33] cvr: Trying to setup ssh + X11 forwarding... [10:33] Dr_Willis: ye could be, in the $HOME but i think is the same [10:33] can caffeine make eyes explode? [10:33] nearly [10:33] wdp I'm sorry. :P [10:33] slikts: yes, unless you think a more personal mood would benefit your interview, a formal conversation would be fine for a first meet too :) [10:34] aLearner: you shouldnt need to enable root to login for that [10:34] hey im trying to install an RPM as its java but im having problems on using the stupid command line can someone give me some help or use remote desktop? [10:34] drecute: ya I didn't know what they call it in your grub version [10:34] cvr: I don't know...I'm listening to Chuck_Norris. Perhaps Chuck_Norris has the answer to that question? [10:34] *don't tell nobody that is free* [10:34] chukky: don't install / try to install rpm [10:34] rpm's [10:34] slikts i guess that would apply to the french too? Since I will be having another meeting with the montreal team shortly after. [10:34] krababbel: I guess it's also related to whether it's a peer or someone higher up the social ladder, like a president; in that case I'd surely use "Mr. Lastname" and "Sie" [10:35] picochu: I don't know any French unfortunately :) [10:35] chukky: don't install / try to install rpm's on ubuntu [10:35] PermitRootLogin is in sshd_config [10:36] and really shouldent be enabled i would think. :) [10:36] enabling root to login via ssh is not a good idea [10:36] cvr: OK... [10:36] and shouldent be needed anyway [10:36] Dr_Willis: Thank you. [10:36] the root account isnt even enabled by default anyway [10:36] I'm trying to get X11 working over ssh [10:36] and Chuck_Norris here was helping me out. [10:36] aLearner: local lan or internet? [10:36] oh! ye is in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" [10:37] aLearner: have u had a look at the wiki? there is a page on X11forwarding [10:37] and for security reason don't should be enable, but for a while its ok [10:37] Dr_Willis: Internet - I need to be able to view the other machine's deskop. [10:38] cvr: I tried to install x2go and things didn't work out. I can reconstruct that scene if you'd like. [10:38] aLearner: ssh wont show the wole desktop. but let you forward specific apps to the local box if it has a x server. [10:38] never heard of x2go ;) [10:38] Dr_Willis: Maybe that'll work too. Viewing the whole desktop may be easier but what you described above should also work. Also, I'm on dial-up. So things are very slow. [10:39] Chuck_Norris: Where do we stand? [10:39] dial up showing a single app - would be faster then showing the HWOLE desktop [10:39] idk xD [10:39] Dr_Willis: Roger that. [10:39] aLearner: what app are you needing to use fromt eh remote? [10:39] how do i install javas rpm its keeps telling me i have alien but i already to and or i could convert to a .deb [10:39] chukky: you shouldn't try to install rpm's [10:39] chukky: you dont use tje java rpm [10:39] chukky: rpm isnt for ubuntu [10:39] Dr_Willis: Haven't thought of the whole gamut but to begin with Firefox would be nice. [10:39] chukky: rpm's are not for Ubuntu [10:39] Chuck_Norris: Funny. :-) [10:39] chukky: they are designed for a redhat system [10:40] aLearner: firefox is special if you try to run it over ssh, without the right options it can run the LOCAL firefox insteead [10:40] aLearner: and i cant really imagine why you need to run firefox remotely [10:40] ok can you tell me how i can install java on it im on PEAR OS which is a ubuntu distro that uses .deb files [10:40] krababbel: but in american context. Getting too formal may give people a negative impression. [10:40] Dr_Willis: Now that's strange. [10:40] dpkg -i *.deb for debian/ubuntu [10:40] aLearner: firefox is special :) [10:41] Dr_Willis: Just trying to look at a database visually - and want to look at the database using phpMyAdmin. [10:41] chukky: we don't support pear OS here [10:41] aLearner: once you are login with: ssh -X remote_user@remote_server just execute any aplication for example: firefox [10:41] chukky: pear OS has it's own support resources, I suggest contacting them [10:41] krababbel: It is a tech company so i don't know which culture will supersede, startup informal culture or the more reserved german culture [10:41] aLearner: i forget the details once.. but we had some people fighting with fireffox specifically [10:41] Dr_Willis: All right. [10:41] and you will be running the remote firefox in the client side [10:41] Just looking for a solution that is simple enough to use. [10:41] aLearner: get xterm working first.. then try other apps [10:41] I have a machine with static IP, and I've added dns entries to the interfaces file. Can I reload the network config from remote ssh without killing any ongoing connections? [10:42] Dr_Willis: How do I get xterm working? Never used it before. [10:42] aLearner: i just ssh willis@remotebox then run the apps [10:42] so id run 'xterm &' and got a local xterm, thats running on the remote [10:42] Chuck_Norris: I've tried that and it's SOOOO slow... [10:42] pear os has .debian packages that is made by a ubuntu distro [10:43] aLearner: dialup will do that to you [10:43] Dr_Willis: I think I tried that and it doesn't work - lemme try that. [10:43] cvr: That's all I have. :-( [10:43] chukky: it's not ubuntu - we only support ubuntu here [10:43] chukky: the pear website has it's support methods listed [10:43] picochu: here too actually, I address older people formally out of habit, it is kind of a running joke, when you get out of school and how to address others. :) I think usually you start formally out of habit in school, where we address teachers formally, at least were I went. The worst are the people who insist that you adress them using their scholar title, as an adult. [10:43] PearOS is not 'ubuntu' however. and lat i looked into pearos.. the company was somewhat.. well.. seemed shady :) [10:43] aLearner: ye, maybe the internet connection isn't good enough [10:44] Dr_Willis: This is what I get with xterm& ---> xterm Xt error: Can't open display: xterm: DISPLAY is not set [10:44] aLearner: why dont you use a text based browser on the remote machine then? [10:44] hi [10:44] cvr: I'd like a visual representation of the database. [10:44] ehm Im trying to write data to a computer through samba [10:44] aLearner: so you either have forwarding turned off. or need to run the ssh-agent. whioch should be running automatically [10:44] cvr: It's just easier to see things... [10:44] picochu: a president would be a special case, being a highly known repesentative :) [10:44] and also get mine to be visible on that other computer (Windows Vista) [10:44] aLearner: yyou are on a Linux machine? sshed to another linux box? [10:44] Dr_Willis: What do you suggest I type next? [10:45] seems it dont work well out of the box [10:45] aLearner: ahhh so what you want todo is connect to this network and see a server on that lan? [10:45] krababbel: most certanly [10:45] Dr_Willis: Yes - exactly. I'm on 11.10 and that one is on 12.04. [10:45] krababbel: oh well :P. It's nice to have heads up from the natives. [10:45] picochu: np :) [10:45] cvr: Yes, that is right. [10:45] aLearner: ssh port forwarding is what you want [10:45] aLearner: the remote servers ssh service must allow x forwarding. that would be aa setting in its /etc/ssh/sshd_config [10:45] cvr: OK...and how do I set that up? :-? [10:46] picochu: I guess social 'class' differces are borderless still [10:46] X forwarding and port forwarding - 2 very diffent fetures of ssh. ;) [10:46] but intertwined. ;) [10:46] aLearner: so you can connect to the remote IP via your local copy of firefox on a specific port and it'll forward that to the server you're trying to access [10:46] Dr_Willis: I have this line ---> X11Forwarding yes [10:47] cvr: Hmm - not sure what you're saying. :-/ [10:48] aLearner: read this page, too much to explain on the subject https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/PortForwarding [10:48] aLearner: try ssh -X user@remote [10:48] invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/samba not found. [10:48] I have a desktop with two monitors, connected with HDMI and VGA (intel i7 graphics). When the HDMI monitor goes to sleep (on lock or when the screens timeout or i shut it off manually), it doesn't wake up again. Any ideas? [10:48] aLearner: maybe is the delay (the ping) [10:48] krababbel: anyway I'll be flying to dusseldorf after the meeting. Hopefully there's enough time to go south to bavaria [10:48] Dr_Willis: he has a slow connection and using X11forwarding isnt the best option for him to accomplish what he wants [10:48] the could cause lag [10:49] and you will see like a really bad internet connection [10:49] cvr: i cant even understand why nhe wants to forward a browser gui. ;) a proxy would be easier. [10:49] Dr_Willis: This is what I get ---> /usr/bin/xauth: /home/vinit/.Xauthority not writable, changes will be ignored [10:49] cvr: OK. Thanks. [10:50] Dr_Willis: the port forwarding will do the same thing for him [10:50] aLearner: well you need to decide what it is you want to try to acomplish. forard/proxy a loccal port to allow you to run a LOCAL browser and have it tunnleed through the remote box.. or X forward a gui app from the remote box [10:51] Dr_Willis: I don't know enough to tell the two apart. [10:51] Dr_Willis: That's the truth. [10:51] aLearner: we dont really know why you are trying to do all this.., [10:53] Dr_Willis: Let me explain. I have a database that I'm running on the server. Rather than guess what it's contents look like, I'd like to install phpMyAdmin and view the contents - just like I do on my client. It's easier to see things than guess how they look. I want to make sure my program is writing the right things to the database. A visual check is easy to do. [10:54] and theres some reasonn your local browser cant connect to the remote server? [10:54] Dr_Willis: I didn't know this option existed. [10:55] browsers connect to remote servers.. thts what they do... [10:55] some just happen to be local ;)) [10:55] Dr_Willis: Right.. :-) [10:55] aLearner: is the remote server web accessable or only via the lan? [10:55] cvr: It's accessible only via the internet. [10:55] is the Qt framework installed by default in 12.04? and if so where is the install dir? [10:56] devxdev: i dont think it is. [10:56] aLearner: is the database server the same one you're connecting to with ssh? [10:56] cvr: Yes, that is correct. [10:56] Dr_Willis: thanks [10:56] aLearner: ahhhh! just open port 80 in your router and connect to the remote IP then [10:57] cvr: Um, so how do I do that? [10:57] he said it was allready accessable via the internet.. so im not sure whats going on.... [10:57] aLearner: same way you opened port 22 for ssh [10:57] cvr: Not sure I remember opening a port specifically. [10:58] cvr: I just typed in ssh -l blah and I was able to connect to the remote server... [10:58] how do i get ubutu to boot in recovery mode in vmware im holding down the shift key but thats not working [10:58] aLearner: just goto your local copy of firefox and plugin the servers address then [10:58] cvr: OK...Trying that. [10:59] hi, is there any possibility to use my ubuntu on an x86 to route RaspPI->eth0->wlan0->internet ? [10:59] I have a ttf font. it is buggy. Fontviewer couldnot install the font. I want to know the reason why it is not getting installed. for that is there any command line tool for installation of the font?? [10:59] !ics | phanindraramesh [10:59] phanindraramesh: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [10:59] oops that was for vvompy [10:59] got it;) [10:59] thanks [11:00] phanindraramesh_: i just copy mine to my .fonts directory ;) [11:00] Dr_Willis, if I do so.

[11:33] Hi, my linux system hangs after a large partition (3TB) is formated as jfs. Partition table type = gpt. Any hints why this happens ? [11:34] reels: check your logs [11:35] cvr, /var/log/syslog ? [11:35] reels: try there first [11:36] hi guys im trying to get tp_smapi module loaded on startup via sysfsutils and am following : http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tp_smapi#Making_the_settings_permanent_on_reboot but it doesnt do the trick. What am I doing wrong [11:36] cvr, I dont see anything interesting there. [11:37] reels: are you manually formatting it from the commandline or using a gui tool? [11:38] cvr, manually. mkfs.jfs [11:38] reels: and there is no output on the commandline? just hangs? [11:39] cvr, the format completes successfully. Then, the machine freezes. [11:40] is it possible to open a subtitle file in vlc with the terminal whilst the film is running? i know ist is possible when i open film + subtitle at the same time, but i couldn't figure out how to add the subtitle. [11:40] reels: and the drive has been successfully formated? so you shouldnt have an issue now? [11:42] cvr, it is a test system at work. So, this has to be automatted without freezes. I am looking for the cause of this freeze. [11:42] hi, how can I merge two drives into one using gparted? [11:44] cvr, also the partition cannot be mounted now. "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on" [11:44] reels: does it exhibit the same behaviour when you try format a different physical disk? [11:44] Hello folks. I have a question about my external hdd. No I'm queasy about fast paced IRC. [11:45] cvr, even the same disk formats successfully (and could be mounted) if the partition is smaller, say 500GB. Other disks (smaller) dont have problems. [11:46] So here's the story: I plugged in my external HDD via 1394 into my Xubuntu laptop to retrieve my files & organize the data. Unfortunately I can't yet access the drive contents yet _ [11:46] reels: tried running badblocks on the drive? [11:46] Let me explain further _ [11:46] cvr, when mounting this jfs formatted 3TB partition, it fails and dmesg shows "FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors" [11:48] hi, ubuntu with ATI HD 4330 support YPbPr? How to? [11:48] cvr, earlier tried formatting the partition as ext4; I was able to mount the partition after restart (the box frooze after format) [11:48] cvr, so I dont think it is badblock on disk that causes the problem [11:49] reels: sounds like a hardware issue with the disk then? if you can successfully do what your looking todo at the start of the disk but not at the end [11:50] So I keyed in at the command line << dmesg | less >> scrolled to the end of the output, found out << invalid partition table >> So how do I bring back the data that's on the hdd? Without destroying the files. [11:50] d8bhatta, Merge two 'drives', or two partitions? [11:50] It's formatted fat32. Reformatting isn't an option 'cos there are files on it. Plugged it in via 1394. Thanks for any answer. [11:50] Sidewinder1: two partitions [11:51] cvr, sorry did not get you. Both tries (ext4, jfs) was done the complete disk. [11:51] How do I fix up the << invalid partition table >> on my 1394 connected hard disk drive? [11:51] michyubuntu: With the device plugged in, check the output of 'xrandr' and see if the monitor/tv is listed. If not, you may want to ask on #radeon [11:52] hi guys i have a module "tp_smapi" that i would like to add to boot, how should i do this in 12.04 [11:52] cvr, Why do you think it is a hardware issue ? I am able to create and use smaller partitions without any problem. [11:52] What does << invalid partition table >> actually mean? [11:52] michyubuntu: (Assuming, of course, you are using the open source drivers). [11:52] I'm having the following error while trying to update. Any hints? http://pastebin.com/NiMCvLG4 [11:53] Should I go to #xubuntu instead since my laptop uses this Ubuntu variant? [11:53] colin_: its not really xubuntu specific, and you'll find that #ubuntu is a lot more active than #xubuntu [11:53] Still waiting for an answer. [11:54] reels: thats my point, the whole disk formatted with either partition type fails, but a smaller partition doesnt, create a number of partitions on the disk to fill it then format them all separately and see ifyou run into problems with any of them individually [11:54] d8bhatta, Then, just make sure that you've saved/backed-up any data on both partitions that you don't want to loose; delete the second one and grow/resize the first. As I said back-up both partitions in case something goes wrong, certainly all data on the deleted partition will be deleted. [11:55] cvr, okay. [11:55] Pici: thanks for the desktop enviro related info. Now I need info about my << invalid partition table >> solved with my 1394 HDD. [11:55] colin_: means your hdd is damaged [11:56] colin_: try booting a live image and run fsck [11:56] Anyone out here: what does << invalid partition table >> mean? === codekK is now known as codekK`afk [11:57] tol: What do you mean that << invalid partition table >> means a damaged HDD? How do I fix it up? [11:57] * ejo blinks [11:57] colin_, was it working until now? [11:58] compdoc: what are you talking about?

[11:58] compdoc: my 1394 connected HDD is suffering from << invalid partition table >> so how do I fix it? Where do I need to go for info? [11:59] tol: my 1394 connected HDD is suffering from << invalid partition table >> so how do I fix it? Where do I need to go for info? [11:59] colin_, oh. I dont use 1394 or usb drives [11:59] reels: you're not using MBR are you? [12:00] cvr, gpt [12:00] Reformatting isn't an option. What do I need resolve my HDD corruption and retrieve the files? [12:00] cvr, sed 's/../&-/g; s/-$//' file.txt was wat I needed. Thanks for your help [12:00] cvr: no I'm no way using MBR. The drive is data only. [12:00] reels: ok thats alright thought u would have been [12:00] xukun: np [12:01] colin_: maybe this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1192598 can help you [12:01] tol: I'll look at it. === chu__ is now known as chu [12:01] colin_, external drives depend on the power supply and th controller inside the little case. If it were me, Id open it up and attach the drive directly to a working system and examine the drive [12:01] colin_: have you changed the partition table in the last days? [12:02] compdoc: my Xubuntu is a laptop. Thus USB and 1394 are the only connection option available to me. Sorry. [12:02] compdoc: but can a corrupted controler produce a partition table warning? [12:03] tol, maybe not, but its a good idea to elminate the cable, psu, and controller [12:03] Perhaps I ought to give this discussion a rest and look at the assistance page tol has pointed me to. [12:03] Can I come here for help with my graphics driver? [12:03] what's sfdisk? [12:04] gunther: Ask your question, if people can help, they'll reply [12:04] gunther: I probably can't help you, but you can def. ask your question here === macmartine_ is now known as macmartine === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [12:06] I want to give this discussion a rest. However since I'm accessing via browser how do I quit this IRC? [12:06] colin_: close the tab.

It will hang on splash screen when I try running startx, it gives me a warning saying that it couldn't find a matching device section. [12:08] hi [12:09] How do I get Empathy to stop showing contacts who are currently unavailable in my contact list window? There are so many that it moves the display of my next group of contacts (including some available ones) far off the display. [12:09] moo [12:09] ejo: view->uncheck show offline contacts [12:10] oh VIEW. I was looking in preferences, and right-clicking everywhere to try to find a context menu option. Thanks! [12:10] np [12:10] cvr, created multiple small partitions to file the disk and then formatted each without any problem. Do you still think its a hardware bug ? [12:10] actually with the HUD. you might have been able to hit 'alt' then 'view' or 'cont' and it may hae showed the item. :) [12:11] hi… I made a custom Ubuntu dvd image with Remastersys and then tried to make a flash drive of it with Unetbootin. Unfortunately I'm getting the error "(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/output error Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs". I tried what http://www.hacktohell.org/2011/07/fixing-can-not- [12:11] mo [12:11] unt-devloop0-while.html suggests, but it didn't work… :( any advice? (sorry for the long question) [12:11] reels: doesnt sound like it then, how long have u left the machine for sitting "locked up"? can you sys rq out of it? [12:12] kyan: you'll find it's because squash fs is compressed and you need to decrompress it [12:12] hmm. I need to do that manually at the initramfs prompt? [12:13] Where/which file to amend to eliminate password requirement after screen-saver has been initiated? 12.04. [12:13] ikonia: I figured the mount command it runs automatically (which was generating the error) would handle decompressing it for me, but I guess not :P [12:13] cvr, left the "locked up" system for a minute at the max and then hard-rebooted it. I did not understand "sys rq" ? [12:13] initfamfs won't be able to use squashfs as I recall (I'm not %100 certain) [12:14] compdoc: yes, you are right [12:15] ikonia: ohhh? I thought problems like this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1598415 (happening within the initramfs) would indicate otherwise, but ok :P [12:16] kyan: it could well be, I don't think so, but that doesn't mean I'm right [12:16] ikonia: that basically looks like the problem I'm having, except with a cd. Ironically the proposed solution is using unetbootin :D [12:16] reels: is it possible it was still working on the partition in that time? or its returned you to the command prompt? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [12:16] ikonia: well you've probably got way more experience and knowledge than me anyway ^.^ [12:17] kyan: I'm rusty with this, but I do remember having similar issues when I first started looking after a different distro's livecd [12:17] cvr, mkfs returned to the command prompt with a success message. [12:17] hi apw [12:17] hi [12:17] sup all [12:17] apw: whats the reason that 64 bit kernels are build against libc6 2.14 and the 32 bit ones against libc6 2.11? [12:18] Kano, no idea, sounds wrong [12:18] gunther: try adding "nomodeselect" to the GRUB command line, if that helps its a driver issue and you shold consider to reinstall the driver [12:18] ikonia: hmm. well I think I had this problem once before with a cd, but I think it was just a bad disc or something (obvious, logical fix!) [12:18] i would perfer 2.11 for all [12:18] any ideas on this issue? http://askubuntu.com/questions/149317/ubuntu-black-screen-and-icons-messed-up-12-04 [12:18] ikonia: unfortunately, this isn't making any sense at all to me this time :D [12:18] ok, that wont work for newer systems, but 2.14 is too new for wheezy [12:19] rouge [12:19] 2.13 would be ok as well, then i could use the kernels for wheezy [12:19] 2.11 for squeeze [12:19] yes kyan? [12:19] rouge_killer97: compiz problem/bum drivers>? [12:19] 2.14 too new [12:19] not sure i suspect my drivers are all messed [12:20] Kano, i don't have wheezy chroots to build them in [12:20] well but you dont need something with libc 2.14.. [12:20] i dont get why u has got newer libc6 than debian [12:20] just to make packages incompatible? [12:20] rouge_killer97: I had a similar issue (messed-up window decorations, black patches on the screen, hitchy rendering) when trying to use 3d accelleration with the xorg-edgers ppa on a via integrated graphics chip [12:21] Kano, because ubunt moves forward faster, blazes the trail for debian ? [12:21] kyan, i havent changed anything since i updated [12:21] apw: oneric or natty chroot would be 2.13 [12:21] 11.10 worked fine before [12:21] lucid 2.11 [12:21] rouge_killer97: I had to add a real video card to get the 3d to work… [12:21] Kano, and those kernels arnt for those releases of ubuntu [12:22] so unsupprisingly they arn't made for them [12:22] rouge_killer97: oh weird. I don't know then. Sorry :( [12:22] they are made for the LTS before the release [12:22] apw: and why are the 32 bit ones for natty and the new ones for precise/quantal? [12:22] Kano, they shouldn't be, they should all be for the LTS before the release they are in [12:23] lts is too new for debian... [12:23] if any are behind, it is more likely a chroot issue [12:23] yes and they arn't for debian, they are what we need [12:23] but nobody uses em for ubuntu [12:23] or did anybody notice the libc6 differences? [12:23] ok then i should stop making them [12:23] ikonia: interesting… I'll try this now: http://inputvalidation.blogspot.com/2012/02/installing-backtrack-on-usb-mounting.html [12:24] ikonia: looks a lot like my problem. [12:24] kyan: lets see how you get on [12:24] can you give me the scripts used to build? [12:24] kyan, iirc as they real kernel doesn't use the libc dep it deps on you can just strip them [12:24] Kano, eve [12:24] ikonia: k ^.^ [12:24] they said there may be problems if you have any i386 packages on 11.10 when updating on a 64bit system? [12:25] Kano, i have pointed you to the scripts every time you have asked this, they are in our kteam-tools repository in the mainline builds [12:25] mainline-builds sub directory [12:25] ah [12:25] i did no bookmark em i think... [12:25] ikonia: no go :( [12:26] Kano, but iirc you simply removed the libc dep anyhow in previous cases [12:26] that does not work for 2.14 [12:26] i can not compile any external module [12:26] rouge_killer97: i suggest you try to re-install ubuntu [12:26] and that depedancy is why we have to build them in the nearer chroots in the first place [12:27] kyan: didn't think so, but it was worth trying [12:27] samsai i may have to its a pretty weird error [12:28] ikonia: I wonder if it needs to be fat32… [12:29] rouge_killer97: it sure is, i have never encountered problem like that in ubuntu [12:29] * abogani waves all [12:29] Where/which file to amend to eliminate password requirement after screen-saver has been initiated? 12.04. TIA. [12:29] Could anyone could pinpoint me to the right documentations which explains how "adopt" a package in universe, please?Thanks in advance!

[12:36] !find add-apt-repository [12:36] File add-apt-repository found in python-software-properties [12:36] cvr & Dr_Willis, thanks yes screen will help for the ssh session, but not when the machine drops off the network [12:37] when it drops off the network, I need to power off and on, since it is headless [12:37] Volkswagner: it doesnt auto reconnect to the network? [12:37] hello? [12:37] Basically how can I make sure all the packages download locally before running the installation? [12:38] cvr, it has not auto-connected.... it is a crappy card with drivers not in mainline [12:38] Volkswagner: yeh the -d flag will download the packages but not apply them [12:38] apw: is that a valid rsa key in your readme? [12:38] Volkswagner: its crashing you mean? [12:39] Dr_Willis I have not confirmed if it's crashing, I assumed it was dropping out [12:39] weird that it would drop out and not reconnect... [12:39] Kano, which readme [12:40] SETUP-SPLIT [12:40] Kano, nope, it was once, though its only the public portion anyhow [12:42] GRUB2 question: I have set the TIMEOUT=0 and the DEFAULT=0 (Windows). Can I still boot Ubuntu? I have just tried holding Shift all through the boot process, and a change DOES occur: I get the message "GRUB loading...". However, this disappears after 5 or so seconds and continues with it's configured boot process (i.e. it does not show the GRUB menu) [12:42] its not fully clear how the chroot must be named [12:42] Volkswagner: have a look in your log files/dmesg to see if it spews any errors about the connection [12:43] Kano, presumably something like wheezy- [12:43] SwashBuckla: boot with a live cd and change the TIMEOUT value to "10" [12:44] inside the mainline-buid dir [12:44] SwashBuckla: one thing you could do is legthen the timeout by boot live usb/cd and change params in /boot directory [12:44] SwashBuckla: you have to mount the parition as read and write then modify /etc/default/grub that's what i think [12:44] SwashBuckla: or change the default boot to be ubuntu === philipp__ is now known as esing2 === esing2 is now known as esing22 [12:45] Kano, no as either a dchroot or a schroot chroot name [12:45] anybody can see me? [12:45] don't you have to chroot? [12:45] ict: if we all say no... what would you do? ;P [12:45] as GRUB2 requirees you to regen the config [12:45] How do I install sun-java6-jdk? [12:45] rewrite my programme [12:46] SwashBuckla: I think Chuck_Norris is correct it's at /etc/default/grub [12:46] i think im successful [12:46] SwashBuckla: then you have to chroot and: update-grub that what i think [12:46] how? [12:46] idk :D [12:46] I have ubuntu amd64 [12:47] Chuck_Norris, yep, or change the value in there and in /boot/grub/grub.cfg as well so it gets done next time [12:47] boot with a live cd and then ask here SwashBuckla [12:47] apw: ye, that what i think =P [12:47] Chuck_Norris: I'm not sure the update-grub is needed, I would try without that step SwashBuckla but I could be wrong too [12:47] maybe is not needed === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider === LL2|Android1 is now known as LL2|Android [12:47] sacarlson, /etc/default/grub is only used when making the grub.cfg, its that grub uses [12:48] if you edit /etc/default/grub - you MUST do the update-grub.. it then writes the /boot/grub/grub.cfg [12:48] hi [12:48] a quick and dirty fix. is to edit the grub.cfg from a live cd. then reboot.. then fix the issue permently in /etc/default/grub [12:48] and then rerun update-grub [12:49] hi, whats the difference between git-core and git pack ??? [12:49] Dr_Willis: oh then why not just write direct to /boot/grub/grub.cfg? [12:49] sacarlson: if you DONT also fix /etc/default/grub - then update-grub will put the old settings back [12:49] Finch is cool for computer Geeks..! [12:49] how can i make nautilus transparent ? [12:49] so fix grub.cfg then reboot. and fix /etc/default/grub and run updat-grub [12:49] (using ubuntu 12 .04 ) [12:49] Dr_Willis: ya that sounds correct [12:50] anyone new that came on have any idea about this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/149317/ubuntu-black-screen-and-icons-messed-up-12-04 [12:50] esing: compiz/ccsm has settings to make any window transparent on the fly.. but i forget the settings/plugin [12:50] !ccsm [12:50] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [12:50] dr_willis i didnt find out how to set the windows transprarent with ccsm , do i need to download a certain plugin first or is it inside ccsm ? [12:51] esing: it is a plugin for ccsm. i domnt know if its installed by default. I hate transparent stuff [12:51] Hi guys, I' [12:51] Dr_willis ok ^^ [12:51] some alt-ctrl-combo+mousewheel to change the setting [12:51] I'm trying to change the password for my ubuntu 10.04 account [12:51] but the window hangs everytime I enter the passwords and press enter [12:51] esing: did you workout the problem with your launcher? [12:52] cvr yes ! === SMJ is now known as smjms [12:52] esing: what was it? [12:52] cvr I wanted to tell you how, but you were already ZzZ :D [12:52] chatzillaxul: open a console and use passwd? [12:52] chatzillaxul: maybe do it from a console +f2 [12:53] cvr the reason is that my thinkpad doesnt have a screen and I use an extern monitor, so I had to go to ubuntu screen option and turn off the laptop screen, and unselect "mirror screen" on my extern monitor [12:53] :) [12:53] what exactly do I enter? [12:53] ok nevermind I'll google [12:53] chatzillaxul: or is it from ssh ? [12:53] Hmm.. Using a HD TV as a HDMI monitor.. theres somthing that makes the whole screen brighten if a lot of white is shown - so if i select a menu.. the whole screen sort of brightens up a bit. untill the menu goes away. would that be a settng on the TV? or is there some nvidia setting ive not noticed? [12:54] esing: ahhhhh! [12:54] sacarlson: what do you mean? [12:54] chatzillaxul: your not changing from a terminal? [12:54] hi onething http://paste.ubuntu.com/1035401/ <-- what im i doing wrong??? [12:55] I tried but it says new password can't be same as old one [12:55] while they're not, only the first few letters are [12:55] Dr_Willis: I'm using an hdtv as my primary monitor and don't have that. I'm also using Nvidia cars. [12:55] weird [12:55] re [12:55] cards* [12:55] cvr couldnt read your responce because my power was empty :D [12:55] *response [12:55] wylde_: i think its some sort of dynamic color mode for the thing for movies.. but i cant seem to figure out how to disable it. :) [12:55] chatzillaxul: I guess make a biger change and then change it back? [12:55] cvr well I should have told you that I use an extern monitor :) [12:55] wylde_: but playing skyrim on a 40 inch monitor.. makes up for it. [12:56] Yeah worked after I made a bigger change [12:56] esing1: haha yeh might have made it a bit easier :) [12:56] still weird that first the GUI hangs then I can't change to a similar password [12:56] Dr_Willis: lol I bet :) Just putting that out there hoping it may point you in the right direction. :) === lubmil is now known as lub` [12:57] lol skyrim on ubuntu i saw a walkthrough about how to install it, what is your nvidia video card Dr_Willis ? [12:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1035401/ <-- what i'm doing wrong??? [12:58] I am trying to change keyboard layout for my entire computer to norwegian, so that when I boot in textmode ( alt+f1..f6 ) I get norwegian keyboard. how do I do this? [12:58] cvr also i found the solution of my problem of installing unity from lubuntu. the reason i couldnt login to unity was that by configurating samba i set the .ICEauthority owner/permission wrong (in my home folder) i fixed this now by putting for each login a new .ICEauthority file into /tmp/ folder. this is done with /etc/security/pam_env.conf [12:58] LoboX: is eth1 already up? [12:59] /etc/init.d/networking stop ; ifconfig eth1 down ; /etc/init.d/networking start [12:59] LoboX: you have 2 default gateways which isn't food [12:59] ah [12:59] if i do ifconfig i see it up [12:59] LoboX: also "service networking restart" not /etc/init.d [12:59] "two default gateways isn't good" not "food" [12:59] esing1: nice one, good to see you have a working system now [12:59] What is wrong with this command? I get permission denied for --> sudo echo 10 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness [12:59] cvr thanks :) [13:00] elijah: ">" and the rest of the line is not executed as root [13:00] echo 10 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/swappiness or sudo -s and then run your command [13:01] im trying to setup a dhcp server [13:01] cyberdo: Thanks a bunch cyberdo, you taught me something! [13:01] !dhcp| LoboX [13:01] LoboX: dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP [13:02] elijah: ;o) [13:02] cyberdo: Btw, what is the main difference between cat and tee? [13:02] elijah: tee writes to a file, cat reads from it [13:02] ubottu ok so i dont need to download dhcp3-server then? [13:02] LoboX: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:03] MonkeyDust [13:03] cyberdo: doh, okay, thanks! [13:03] LoboX http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html [13:03] elijah: "> filename" is not a feature of cat but of your shell (normally bash) [13:03] cyberdo: That is called output redirection, correct? [13:03] MonkeyDusti have that site open alredy, trying to configure my 2 nics [13:03] elijah: it only means "all the non-error messages you should have given me, send them to this file instead" [13:03] yeas === ddee is now known as _dd [13:04] What is the | ? [13:04] the pipe symbol [13:04] elijah that's a pipe [13:04] || | | | | |||| || [13:04] :) [13:04] I mean what does it do? [13:05] It pipes stuff [13:05] elijah it pipes or redirects [13:05] How does | differ from > ? [13:05] Linux - helping you use all those keys you never knew what they were for [13:05] how do I change the default systemwide keyboard layout so that it actually matches my norwegian keyboard? [13:05] elijah: time to check some bash guides on 'output redirection' [13:05] elijah > sends to | executes in [13:05] echo 'hello' > file.txt [13:05] echo 'hello' | pastebinit [13:06] Dr_Willis: ahh, gotcha, basically files vs commands [13:06] Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless InterfaceNetwork controller: [13:07] Hey everyone, I jhave an issue with Ubuntu 12.04 64 Bit Version. I installed it just fine, but after I reboot, I get the following after passing my computer's bioi screen. It says, "Operating System not found." Any idea on how to fix this? [13:07] Dr_Willis, cvr, This is the only thing so far I have found in syslog which may be an issue http://pastebin.com/wm0JGZsh [13:07] Volkswagner: can you tell me a little bit about your setup? I have to setup something similar for a friend soon [13:08] Thanks everyone, I am now .01% more knowledgeable than I was previously (adds up over a year!) [13:08] SunSoul: maybe you installed grub MBR to the wrong disk? what drive did you pick to install MBR? [13:08] SunSoul, do you have more than one drive? Or do you use other partitions for other OSes? [13:08] Volkswagner: do you have the card manually configured in /etc/network/interfaces? [13:09] hi. which installer to pick to do fine-grained installation (no desktop env, etc.) -- didn't the alternate image allow this in earlier versions? am i missing something? [13:09] cvr, I have an old AMD 600Mhz box running Xubuntu 10.04 which boots to CLI, Wifi card installed is 00:14.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface [13:09] compdoc, I only had one drive, and wiped out the previous OS that was on it. I choose Use All Space in the isntallation method, and that is what I got when I rebooted. [13:09] || <---- double pipe gets executed if the preceding command fails :) === umur is now known as fastreload [13:10] compdoc should I try reinstalling? [13:10] Volkswagner: is it just running music,etc through mpd or something similar? [13:10] SunSoul, well, I would, but you might want to check into it further first, or it might happen again [13:11] SunSoul: I guess you could boot your live usb/cd and mount your /dev/sda1 and verify that the system was installed [13:11] uh. Am I the only person getting hash sum mismatches while attempting to install e.g. gnome-control-center & conky-std? [13:11] SunSoul, boot to the desktop with a live CD, and open Disk Utility. CHeck the drive's health === axisys_ZzzZ is now known as axisys [13:12] cvr the card is configured using network manager [13:12] perhaps if I specify the wifi channel it won't poll like it shows in syslog? [13:12] compdoc, ok. Will do. Will return with my findings. [13:13] Volkswagner: yeh thats what I was thinking [13:13] affected packages: libxmmsclient6, gnome-menus, gnome-online-accounts, ubuntu-docs, libgnomekbd, gnome-settings-daemon, gnome-control-center itself, and mousetweaks [13:13] is there any way of hacking a router's max transfer rate? [13:13] cvr, yes I'm running MPD on this machine which gets files over the network share since it has a small hard drive [13:13] sdfsd64: would totally depend on the router.. and i doubt it.. and not really ubuntu related... ;) [13:14] Is there a keyboard shortcut to send window behind other windows, like when you middle click the title bar? Or can anyone point me into how I would go about making that functionality be available via keyboard? [13:14] hey guys, i went from 10.04 to 12.04 and i had som gconftool-2 strings that i was shooting out on the clients that are not working any more. I used "gconftool-2 --set --type=string /system/networking/connections/flyvpn/vpn/username $USER". however that is not showing up in network manager anymore (on 12.04 that is). Any ideas? [13:15] elijah: theres most likely a way to do it in the ccsm plugins. ive used to do things that way. but been a long time. [13:15] Dr_Willis: what do you do know instead? [13:15] elijah: err.. middle click in the title bar.. does send it to back here... [13:15] how do I start taskmnager in ubuntu from terminl? [13:15] Hello everyone [13:15] *taskmanager [13:15] Dr_Willis: gotcha, [13:15] Is there anyone who can help me getting started Installing ubuntu on a raid 0 configuration ? [13:15] SunSoul, are you specifing partitions, or are you letting ubuntu create the partitions? [13:16] elijah: ccsm has more settings then i can discover. it has a search feature that may do it. [13:16] esing: Do you mean system monitor? [13:16] Dr_willis: It is somehow related to it, I want to use it on ubuntu. The max speed is 24MBps down and up to 4 UP [13:16] does the limitation lie in the hardware o in the firmware? [13:16] elijah ye i think we mean the same. i need to force quit certain tasks when my ubuntu freezes [13:16] compdoc, I am letting ubuntu create partitions. [13:17] good [13:17] esing: okay, it is called system monitor in Ubuntu. You will probably get more help if you use that term instead. [13:17] esing: You want to launch it from terminal? [13:17] elijah yes [13:17] hello all! ^_^ [13:18] hey AceFace1 [13:18] Does someone know how to install ubuntu on a RAID 0 system [13:18] esing: super easy, just remember gnome-system-monitor [13:18] anyone that all that knows? :) [13:18] thanks you ! [13:19] esing: You are welcome, btw, I found the name by launching system monitor and then scanning the running processes! [13:19] anyone with experience using apt-get for offline boxes? We got a box that has to stay offline... it's a royal pain doing updates/installs. Cheers. [13:19] compdoc, hold on a moment. Dog is yapping at me. [13:19] Bingvanmoorsel,: Use alternate cd [13:20] SunSoul: you need to either make a local repo of a CD style repo [13:20] abogani where do i find the alternate CD ? [13:21] Bingvanmoorsel: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/ [13:22] thanks [13:22] Bingvanmoorsel: you are welcome!

[13:29] Goodmorning, When trying to install texlive via aptitude I am told that the hash is incorrect. Who do I let know that this is happening? texlive-full installs fine. [13:31] cvr: not sure, dont have a machine with wireless infront of me at the moment to check, maybe its a better option to manually configure the card in /etc/network/interfaces? [13:31] Volkswagner: [13:31] crazypete> I believe I saw a keyboard layout icon in the system settings window [13:31] hi how can i do to make spanish characters with a french trackpad [13:32] platius: i checked, i dont think you can change the actual default setting selected when ubuntu was installed from there === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [13:33] crazypete: ah wait i am mistaken, it looks like you can add different keyboard layout in system settings === fernando is now known as Guest26782 [13:34] crazypete> so choosing a layout from the menu you get clicking on the + symbol does not change the default? [13:34] @hypnoseal this means that data has been corrupted in the d/l process. Try a fresh d/l and hash check that.

[14:11] how can i log in as root ? there is no option to enter user name as root in u12.04 [14:11] AceFace1: yes it is very possible [14:12] jolaren: and the cake is a lie. :) does ls show it? make sure spelling and CASE is correct.. [14:12] AceFace1: do you want to bond them to give redundancy over switches? [14:12] ive used this method to bond them: http://goo.gl/qUQKB [14:12] tapan: you use sudo and gksudo as needed. you dont login as root. [14:12] now, i'd like to assign multiple IPs to the bond [14:12] Dr_Willis: I can't find it in lsmod but it's in ln -s,, [14:12] I am trying to connect to an Access point I type "iwconfig wlan0 mode managed key 6d6f6e6579" "iwconfig wlan0 essid "AccessPoint"" "dhclient wlan0" but I cannot connect to the AP. I am able to connect it through the GUI so that drivers and wifi modules work fine. I just wonder how to do it by commands. I would appreciate if anyone can help me [14:12] jolaren: you mean ls -l ? [14:13] Dr_Willis: I mean -ls -l [14:13] sorry.. [14:13] plork: redundancy over switches? i dont quite understand [14:13] compdoc, you there? I am back. Had to do some stuff. I am in the live USB environment, and you wanted me to verify my drive where ubuntu was installed on. [14:13] How do I do that? [14:13] Does anyone know any ETA on the ubuntu-mysql security vulnerability patch? [14:13] Dr_Willis: #crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 0 Jun 11 15:56 /dev/ttyACM0 [14:14] compdoc, I currently mounted the drive in a new directory that I created in terminal. [14:14] SunSoul, I just wanted you to check the drive's health. Its from the SMART data [14:14] keffooo: too vague... [14:14] AceFace1: what do you want to achieve from your bonding? [14:14] will it solve my prob in my desktop ? i mean to say has it the same power in cmd line ? [14:14] SunSoul, also, how large is the drive, and what partition type is it?

[14:15] jrib: Or better yet: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2012/q2/493 [14:15] That is one giant security flaw [14:15] AceFace1: to get the multiple IP's is easy though - you just create another section in you network config file that specifies bond0:0 the same way that you specified bond0, with the different IP address [14:16] plork: after using this method: http://goo.gl/qUQKB , is there a way to assign mutiple IPs? here is my interfaces config: http://pastebin.com/sPTahgcW === Guest77270 is now known as EvanR [14:16] plork: i want to acheive this: i have a headless server sitting behind a barrauda 640 load balancer [14:16] keffooo: You may want to take a look at our CVE tracker for an update: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2012/CVE-2012-2122.html [14:16] ** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that will use it when announcing a new security problem.

Serg said those are safe. [14:19] AceFace1: what's the point of bonding things together, then giving them different IP's if the load balancer is then going to fail over the the different IP's? [14:19] thank you plork, i really appreciate your time! :) [14:19] AceFace1: couldn't you just keep the NIC's with their own IP addresses and then let the load balancer do the rest? [14:19] AceFace1: you are most welcome [14:19] mneptok: Thanks but these are production servers for web hosting. So can't just change stuff around. My two options are: #1 Waiting for ubuntu to get the patch in there. #2: Download and install binary of newer version and skip ubuntu packaging. [14:20] well,the infrastructure of the rack, i originally allotted three IPs to each server [14:20] how can I find where a PTR record is set on my server? === dsa is now known as angs3 [14:20] I am trying to connect to an Access point I type "iwconfig wlan0 mode managed key 6d6f6e6579" "iwconfig wlan0 essid "AccessPoint"" "dhclient wlan0" but I cannot connect to the AP. I am able to connect it through the GUI so that drivers and wifi modules work fine. I just wonder how to do it by commands. I would appreciate if anyone can help me [14:20] but, i determined that at the very least, i would like to bond and load balance natively in each server [14:20] keffooo: MAriaDB is a drop-in replacement. you should be able to stop MySQL, remove MySQL packages, install MariaDB, config to your setup, and start. no migration steps necessary. [14:21] AceFace1: ok - fair enough [14:21] but then, to make my load balancer happy, it wants multiple IPs for each service [14:21] keffooo: indeed, mysql will be dead soon, may as well embrace the future now [14:21] maybe im overkilling on the redundancy bit, but oh well [14:22] morning all [14:22] is there a way i can make ubuntu one folder sync with date it was uploaded? [14:22] mneptok: All config, rules, commands, etc are the same? [14:22] mneptok: and data files as well=? [14:23] for the date modified? [14:23] keffooo: yessir. MariaDB is a fork or the FLOSS MtSQL source. and developed by the original author of MySQL. === sig_wall is now known as sig_wal1 [14:24] AceFace1: yes it does seem like overkill - but if you're working to a spec, it's probably easier and faster to just do it the way you said rather than trying to get a change request approved for the IP's :oP [14:24] Hello, I am trying to compile some package, and when I use the next command "sudo make" I getting the next message: "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found" any idea? [14:24] keffooo: "/join @maria" and tell the devs that mneptok sent you. they all know me. and they'll be able to answer any and all questions, and be available during a migration. since you have them ready, it guarantees you won't need help. karma is like that. ;) [14:24] AceFace1: I'm outta here - good luck :o) [14:24] keffooo: errr .... #maria [14:25] mneptok: :Thanks, but if anything does go wrong..., I have thousands of customers screaming and tons of work ahead of me. So not something I can just decide right now [14:25] hi guys i think my ubuntu 12.04 installation grub is messed up. i need help. seems like grub root is defined to (hd0,msdos1), which I think is wrong. how do i change to (hd0,0) or maybe (hd0,msdos0)? [14:25] Hello everyone. I have installed Ubuntu on my laptop. It says operating system not found when I try booting. I tried running the live usb and checking my drive with smart data. However, it doesn't run. It just closes the disk utility. What shall I do? [14:25] e [14:25] Hi #ubuntu, I just manually compiled the latest emacs with --prefix /opt, and added /opt/bin to my /etc/environment. Bash finds emacs when logged in as root or as a normal user, however why does it not find emacs when I "sudo emacs" ? [14:26] keffooo: don't actually *do* it until you have run the process through on a testbed server with one of your datasets. just to be sure. [14:26] keffooo: or use a VM. or something. but do a dry run. we're still not allowed to shoot angry customers, so ... :/ [14:27] mneptok: In which case I might as well install mysql binary and skip ubuntu packaging system instead. Feels safer =) [14:27] anyone here knows grub2? [14:27] FyreSG: just ask the question [14:27] keffooo: if you s/mysql/oracle above, it will feel less safe. [14:27] mneptok: haha true [14:27] hi guys i think my ubuntu 12.04 installation grub is messed up. i need help. seems like grub root is defined to (hd0,msdos1), which I think is wrong. how do i change to (hd0,0) or maybe (hd0,msdos0)? [14:27] keffooo: PM? [14:27] FyreSG: why do you think your grub root is wrong [14:28] FyreSG: what's the actual problem [14:28] mneptok: sure [14:28] coz it cant boot [14:28] FyreSG: ok, you need to expand and explain more than that [14:28] in the past for grub1 i could edit menu.lst [14:28] grub2 is so foreign to me [14:28] compdoc, I tried running the smart data from Disk Utility, and it crashes, or just will not run. [14:28] there is no place for me to set root as hd0,0 [14:28] !grub [14:28] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [14:28] Quit [14:29] FyreSG: ok, I'm going to leave you to it, if you can't/won't explain beyond "it won't boot", I'm not pushing you for information [14:29] I get Read Error [14:29] Sidewinder1: I have made a partition empty which one I am supposed to merge with my main partition but I am not sure how can i merge this using gparted (comes with gnome) [14:29] SunSoul, then you have hardware issues. maybe a bad or loose cable, or bad power supply, or even bad ram [14:29] unless i place another bootable drive to my system [14:29] SunSoul, or a bad drive [14:29] Hi all, can I install gcc 4.4 on my Ubuntu 11.10 when is already installed gcc 4.6.1 ? I need it because I must to install CUDA environment [14:29] please can someone help me ? [14:29] the error is as simple as the system reporting "Read Error" [14:30] mickysantomax: having two different Gcc's on the system is not a straight forward task [14:30] the only way to get past it is to plug in a dummy bootable drive [14:30] I see compdoc . So what should I do then? Just install some other OS for the time being? [14:30] SunSoul, well you could, but any OS is likely to have problems as well. Best to fix it [14:31] ikonia: how else can i explain the fault? [14:31] if i take a photo of the boot strapping process, it'll jus show "Read Error" [14:31] FyreSG: sorry, I'm not paying attention [14:31] ikonia, I read that is possible to have two or more gcc on the same machine, it's a fake ? [14:31] How about I go about fixing it compdoc ? Try repair drive from Disk Utility? I just got this laptop, like two days ago. [14:32] mickysantomax: it is possible, but it's not straight forward [14:32] and for the record, i read thru the wikis [14:32] Why amd I getting this? sudo emacs -> sudo: emacs: command not found [14:32] SunSoul, its brand new? [14:32] Hi, 90% of the time when i switch workspaces with a program (with ctrl+alt+shift+arrow key) i lose it halfway or it gets flung randomly in one of my other workspaces, is there any fix for this? [14:32] mickysantomax: more so if you are using package manager supplied packages [14:32] Yes compdoc [14:32] d8bhatta, Just delete the empty partition {this will cause that space to be "unallocated"} and then resize/grow the main one to take up the rest of that "unallocated" space. [14:32] SunSoul, what OS did it come with? [14:32] wahben: is emacs installed ? [14:32] Windows 7 oO. [14:32] d8bhatta, I hope that makes sense. [14:33] ikonia, yes, I compiled it with prefix /opt and added /opt/bin to /etc/environment [14:33] wahben: ok, the sudo patch doesn't contain /opt [14:33] ikonia, I found this guide: http://blog.ryant.org/2011/12/installing-cuda-toolkit-on-ubuntu-1110.html [14:33] wahben: why did you compile it when it's in the repo [14:33] ikonia, emacs 24.1 released [14:33] SunSoul, well, then it sounds like Ubtunu isnt compatible. If windows installs fine, then the drive is propbably good, although you should check the SMART data again one WIndows is installed [14:33] *once [14:33] wahben: is there something in 24.1 you need that's not in the ubuntu build ? [14:34] mickysantomax: ok, so what's the issue ? [14:34] I see compdoc . [14:34] d8bhatta, These partitions are all ext3 or ext4, correct? [14:34] I know other Linux OS's installed with no problems. [14:34] ikonia, I just want the latest and greatest, also I wanted to compile to use gtk3 toolkit [14:34] wahben: well, latest and greatest comes with a price, [14:34] ikonia, "ok, the sudo patch doesn't contain /opt" what do you mean? Can I fix this? [14:34] more so if you have no reason to do it [14:35] Guess I will do a Debian, or Fedora install then. [14:35] hello,i have a problem in finding a suitable driver for broadcom bcm4312,any ideas? [14:35] wahben: change the sudo path, or use the fully qualified path, eg: sudo /opt/bin/emacs [14:35] SunSoul, in the bios, do you know if the hard drive controller is set to AHCI? [14:35] d8bhatta, Because if they are NTFS, Fat32, etc. you would need to defragment, at least twice prior to resizing! [14:35] if I have 2 versions of GCC compiler how the system use versione 4.4 instead of version 4.6.1 ? [14:35] Dr_Willis: good call on K3b... worked just fine the first time! [14:35] Thanks Dr_Willis [14:35] mickysantomax: /etc/alternatives or CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.4 [14:35] ikonia, so my question is, where is the sudo path configured in Ubuntu? [14:35] compdoc, not entirely sure. I could check and see what it is set at. [14:35] whew [14:36] wahben: great question, I'm sure it's in the sudo docs [14:36] !sudo | wahben [14:36] oops - wrong channel [14:36] wahben: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [14:36] ikonia, do you think that I can trust that guide ? [14:36] mickysantomax: no [14:36] hi [14:36] SunSoul, it might not matter, but ahci is best [14:36] wahben: Defaults env_keep PATH [14:36] how do I un-bind the F1 key in unity? [14:36] wahben: Add that line to sudoers and you should be good. [14:36] ikonia, ok thanks, what do you suggest ? [14:37] Ok. If it is set to something else, set it to AHC1? [14:37] compdoc [14:37] mickysantomax: getting a solid guide/understand what you are doing [14:37] :| [14:37] theadmin, thanks, will try that [14:37] i'd like to use the F1 key from within Vim running in gnome-terminal, but all I get is gnome-terminal's help :-/ [14:37] SunSoul, yes, but remeber the setting in case you have to put it back. Maybe its set to raid [14:38] ikonia, I need to install CUDA environment on my machine, but unfortunately it requires GCC 4.4 and on my Ubuntu 11.10 is installed versione 4.6.1 [14:38] Ok. [14:38] what are the risks in setting setuid for apt-get [14:38] mickysantomax you may want to upgrade ubuntu, then [14:39] mickysantomax: yes, I understand that [14:39] MonkeyDust: no, he may want to downgrade gcc [14:39] theadmin, success! /etc/sudoers has its own "secure path" setting, need to add /opt/bin there as well [14:41] Anyone can help me on this question? http://askubuntu.com/questions/149443/ubuntu-hangs-on-booting-up-after-a-clean-install [14:41] problem* [14:41] ughhh why ask ubuntu and then ask in irc [14:41] let askubuntu answer it === guy is now known as Guest65348 [14:41] hypnoseal: cleared cache? any joy? [14:42] ikonia: Attempting to utilize all available help resources is rather good, no? [14:42] ikonia: Trying to get attention... [14:42] alFReD-NSH: that question is less than 1 minute old, give people chance to answer it before hitting up other support resources [14:42] has anyone seen my question? [14:42] alFReD-NSH: yeah, you've failed, makes you loook impatient [14:43] theadmin: if it was less than a minute old before it was spammed into the channel, I'd agree [14:43] Yeah, I am. You would be when you had installed ubuntu 4 times in the last week. And still got an unusable laptop... [14:43] is there a channel for ubuntu - beginners? [14:43] good luck with it [14:43] walkkenn_: you can ask here with beginners questions, [14:44] walkkenn_: no shame in asking simple questions [14:44] Thanks, poontrip & zykotick9! [14:44] OK, have to go to work, back later, thanks [14:44] is there a way to get ksplice updates for ubuntu 12.04 server? === tdubz is now known as tdubellz [14:45] msch: is oracle offering ksplice packages for uubntu server ?

Version 0.9.9-4 (precise), package size 1244 kB, installed size 3084 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; arm; armel; armhf) [14:45] ikonia: didn't find anything, only their free ubuntu desktop stuff [14:45] msch: if you can find someone offering a ksplice repository for the ubuntu server kernel, you'll be fine [14:45] ubottu: ah great, does that also give me the security updates in ksplice-format? [14:45] msch: I'm not aware of one if Oracle is not offering one [14:45] msch: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:46] msch: that is just the package, not the repo [14:46] hi all, i'm a newbie but need to set up webdav and am having issues. Using http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/WebDAV and am unsure what to put for ServerAlias as my ip address is given by dhcp [14:46] ikonia: ok, do you know if there's a repo for 12.04 server kernels somewhere? [14:46] hypnoseal> no worries! [14:46] msch: not aware of a ksplice repo [14:47] ikonia: ok, so… it's useless? or can it diff the normal ubuntu security updates and apply the changes? [14:47] msch: it's more than just a diff [14:48] compdoc, under my bios, Boot Mode is set to UEF1, with the only other option being Legacy. [14:48] ikonia: ok, so no ksplice for ubuntu server :/ [14:48] msch: not that I'm aware of, doesn't mean there is not though [14:49] SunSoul: Set it to Legacy, I don't think Ubuntu has EFI support yet... I'm not sure, but that's what I think [14:49] ikonia: thanks, i'll look a bit further [14:49] So dont fix my tuner [14:49] SunSoul, hmm, maybe UEF1 is the issue. opne gparted and see what the partition type is. If its GPT, then set it to msdos. How large is the drive? [14:49] Anyone else having problems with Openshot installing? [14:49] hi buddy === root is now known as Guest47225 [14:50] compdoc, hardrive = 640 GB [14:50] then it does not need a gpt partition [14:50] is there a way i can make ubuntu one folder sync with date it was uploaded? [14:50] for the date modified? [14:51] I just installed Gnome3 in my ubuntu 12.04 [14:51] compdoc, so run gparted from USB stick, and mess with it that way? Do I leave the UEF1 as is? [14:51] with the speed at which questions and answers fly by here, some questions are bound to be lost among the din. In that regard, I assume you guys tolerate and even expect a fair bit of re-asking, or is there another approach you'd recommend? [14:52] bairui: Asking again every now and then is just fine, like once in about 10-15 minutes. Just not *too* often. [14:52] SunSoul, gparted in on the live version of ubuntu [14:52] Ok [14:52] I have a question regarding empathy. It is not appearing in my system tray and when I close it, it just disappears. I cannot find it [14:52] ok, thanks, theadmin [14:52] I am using gnome3 in ubuntu 12.04 [14:52] bairui: There are also the forums and askubuntu.com in case IRC isn't being helpful much [14:53] sazawal: that's how it works. You'll see it in the messaging menu. [14:53] C-S-B, where is the messagine menu? [14:53] sazawal: Notification will be shown with the colour of the envelope icon. [14:53] ah, the forums... why do i always forget the forums? thanks - i'll check there and come back if still unsatisfied. :) [14:53] sazawal: thats the envelope at the top [14:54] C-S-B, yes I have the name of the user at the top [14:54] but where is the empathy? [14:54] Hey I just installed ubuntu 12.04, now I have a problem with keyboard layout. When I choose a layout to add it doesn't add it and nothing happens. any ideas? [14:54] C-S-B, I mean where can I see the list of buddies in empathy? [14:54] sazawal: under that menu, chat is empathy. [14:55] C-S-B, no its not there in Gnome3 layout [14:55] sazawal: oh, gnome 3? :/ [14:55] However, it was there before in unity [14:55] C-S-B, yes I just installed gnome 3.

[15:00] compdoc: i don't really see how that would help though, wouldn't it just be a patch/update if a fix was found? [15:01] Fantom, the tech support level is much higher on the mailing list [15:02] isn't it one-way though? [15:03] Fantom maybe you're not getting an answer, because noone else experienced it [15:04] MonkeyDust: i doubt that, a friend of mine has exactly the same problem [15:04] and i installed ubuntu via wubi and he installed it manually [15:04] ah wubi [15:04] i installed 12.04 via wubu, he installed 11 and upgraded === setkeh` is now known as setkeh [15:06] \o/ yay! gconf-editor... actually, I had tried that before asking here, but I slumped back to it for another slog. Not knowing how to create the entries, I typed that manually, which didn't seem to work. Setting it to a valid key - in my case, h (and my that chord never be played by these fingers, I pray) released my F1 from the evil clutches of gnome-terminal.

I'm troubleshooting a TeamSpeak 3 error, and any PulseAudio selection for capture/playback don't show right now.. only ALSA [15:18] Dr_Willis, I don't think so, because when I was using unity desktop, gnome was not installed in the system (I saw it in Synaptic) [15:19] Though the fix's I see on the web require PulseAudio selection [15:19] The default keys to move to workspace (left/right/up/down) are ctrl-alt-(left/right/up/down). With that, the mini popup overlay desktop appears in the middle of the screen for the duration of the move and then disappears.

[15:28] AuroraX: #ubuntu-offtopic [15:29] Pici: ok [15:30] not really ubuntu related but: I'm looking to learn a programming language that makes it easy to grab data from webpages and parse it (something similar to PHP's CURL). Any suggestions on the easiest one? [15:31] Python is always worth learning. :) [15:31] NastyNaz: umm, you could just use curl :) But if you want to parse html or xml then pick any language you want and ask that channel's language for an appropriate library [15:32] python is very good to learn and to do something efficiently [15:33] welp === 21WAABDXQ is now known as ignerious [15:35] jrib: the only reason I want to learn a language is so I can parse html/xml and crawl websites. I figured it'd be best to learn the one that is easiest for this particular purpose. === guampa_ is now known as guampa [15:36] NastyNaz: perl [15:37] the problem is, NastyNaz, this question is unanswerable. Python and Ruby are two good contenders. Perl is too. Have a look at the syntax of each one and make your own aesthetic choice from there. [15:38] NastyNaz: Perl is certainly number1 but I would recommend python over it because of "easiest to learn" [15:38] which is more like C++? That's the only language I know. [15:38] a friend of mine has fallen in love with haskell(?) [15:38] none and you'll thank them later [15:39] agreed [15:39] +1 [15:39] ++ [15:39] NastyNaz: least surprise for you would *probably* be perl. [15:39] ok thanks, I'll have a look at perl and python. [15:40] NastyNaz: you have about 4 or 5 recommendations from this channel. I'd suggest looking at some basic sample code for each language and then learning it [15:40] wht are the facilities for sending emails out from an ubutu 11.10 , ie sendmail ? === mojo_ is now known as Guest59902 [15:40] are there any websites (similar to elance.org etc) where one can hire scripters for 'small' scripting jobs?

[17:00] Zally666, ask here, if someone knows they will answer [17:00] Minidlna tvtuner [17:01] How do I solve (initframs) prompt while installing Ubuntu [17:01] Minidlna tvtuner is what i need [17:02] B0g4r7: I was...I will be...Iḿ just happy to get my wifeś wireless working after upgrading her Presario to 12.04 [17:02] Right on. [17:02] Depends on minidlna and tvtime [17:02] Dotman14: This is after booting the CD/DVD/USB drive? [17:02] Sivik, does the error message contain more than that? [17:02] Sorry for a cheesey question. My dmesg returns the device i want to use as "usb 3-2: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0" how would I translate that to actual location that my app is looking for? [17:03] If i ever get tvtime working again [17:03] AdamK yes. I changed BIOS Boot Sequence to CD Drive [17:03] Recloser, that'd be /dev/ttyUSB0 maybe? [17:03] Hi friends , is there any way to share a particular directory to the outside ;; for example i want to share a git directory which i am maintaining to other developers .. ;; right now we clone by - git clone name@ip:/gitdirectory ;; but this needs my ssh every time to clone ;; is there any way to provide a read only access without my ssh [17:03] there, its working now, it was the next higher port [17:03] Dotman14: Did you confirm the ISO image was valid by comparing the checksum? [17:03] now to change the directory it uses to pull the files. [17:03] Thats what I was thinking. I'll try it again [17:04] Adamk it's a Ubuntu CD [17:05] Well if it's dropping you to an initramfs prompt, it's because the kernel can't mount the root device, which is... odd. [17:05] avinashhm: I guess you don't want it public like on github.com? [17:06] sacarlson, yep ; i have my personal projects on github .. but this is a work project and i am not allowed to put on github [17:06] adamk... What can I do then? [17:06] Dotman14, Is the CD drive internal or external? [17:06] Internal [17:06] bazhang, I got it working but I gotta figure out how to chance the location of the PC directory [17:07] Current version of Ubuntu? [17:07] Dotman14: Any chance you could try another computer? [17:07] Nope quite old Version 8 [17:07] And you're still looking for support for it? :-) [17:07] Mmm, that is old. Is the PC newer? [17:07] AdamK.. I doubt that. No ones wants to try out Linux [17:08] Pc is newer. Compaq Presario CQ61 [17:08] Well I'd try a more current version of Ubu. [17:09] Okay.. Then another problem [17:09] The PC might have SATA controllers or other hardware that that old kernel doesn't support. === Gallomimia_ is now known as Gallomimia [17:09] I have a partitone on the HD 90GB is this enough. [17:10] Will the installation give the option of choosing the partition I want Ubuntu to be installed.? [17:10] is it possible yet to always show the global menu, i really hate having to hunt for menu options, and no i don't want to start typing on the hud [17:11] Depends what you're doing. My fresh Ubuntu 12.04 install is using about 34GB now. Yes, you can choose what partition to install to. [17:11] hello [17:12] MonkeyDust: "sudo -i" isn't a particular no no... it makes sense to use it when you need to run several commands as root. although if you only need one, a single "sudo " will suffice. [17:12] Except in the case of shell redirects. [17:12] What make it's big? This is a recomendation from someone who's using it now. I had it up to 50GB and he said that's why i'm getting (initramfs) Prompt error [17:13] info [17:13] Your partitioning scheme is not why you're getting stuck at initramfs. [17:13] LjL yes, but it is not advicable to suggest it to a beginner; or let a beginner pick it up [17:14] It gets big from, uh, things. Ya know, apps... [17:14] Ubuntu is an ascii nightmare [17:14] Zally666, pardon? [17:14] I mean my tuner will never work again [17:15] B0g4r7... Now I have VMware installed and the same Ubuntu CD has been installed with VMware... [17:15] Dam init.d modprobes [17:15] anyone getting Hash Sum mismatch on fancontrol, lm-sensors, libsnmp when trying to install them (12.04)? [17:15] How can I install applications here? [17:16] MonkeyDust: yes, by all means, patronise new users. perhaps you could start a sudo priesthood. [17:16] Well, if you had a modern version of Ubuntu, I'd recommend running Ubuntu Software Center, but I don't think thats in Ubuntu 8... [17:16] Aptitude install minidlna-tuner [17:17] Is there a way to enable an enhanced proxy configuration in ubuntu allowing the sort of proxy exclude list features that firefox proxy configuration allows? Mainly the ability to ignore "*.corporation.com,10.0.0.1" [17:17] Yes not there. What of tar.zg file downloads [17:17] Chrome defaulting to the system gui proxy settings makes for a poor user experience. [17:18] OH GOD [17:18] http://i.imgur.com/DxcDH.jpg [17:18] SO CUTE [17:18] ..oh god, wrong channe; [17:18] :P [17:18] still an adorable cat [17:18] so anyone else seeing a bunch of hash sum mitchmatches? [17:18] on apt-get update? [17:19] I've been hearing about that all dat EvanCC. [17:19] all day too. [17:19] I am not currently. [17:19] B0g4r7, okay so its not just me then... [17:19] But I was weeks ago. [17:20] Hello.. Please how can I install a tar.zg on Ubuntu, while using VMware [17:20] Untar [17:21] Zally.. I have done that [17:21] Dotman14: a tar.gz file is just a compressed folder. Like a zip file on Windows. [17:21] What next ? === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [17:22] Pici.. So i cant use it as an installation on Ubuntu [17:22] Dotman14: it depends how the software has been distributed inside of it. [17:22] The recipe is generally 'tar -zxvf someapp.tar.gz; cd someapp; configure; make; make install'. It's often not that easy, however. [17:22] hello, i just installed the new 12.04 ubuntu from scratch. I'm having a bluetooth problem, as i can't enable it from the bluetooth settings. any idea? thank you in advance. [17:22] The devil's in the details. [17:22] Pici.. What should I look out for? [17:23] Dotman14: look for an INSTALL or README file. [17:23] hello === zz_Htbrdd is now known as Htbrdd [17:23] is it possible to open a subtitle file in vlc with the terminal whilst the film is running? i know it is possible when i open film + subtitle at the same time, but i couldn't figure out how to add the subtitle. === wtf-honey is now known as Honey [17:25] Pici... I can see both INSTALL and README. [17:25] hmmm [17:25] bazhang: "deb http://icingabuild.dus.dg-i.net/ icinga-lucid-release main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/icinga.list [17:25] Dotman14: Take a look at INSTALL. [17:26] guys, besides having compiz on gnome..... there is no other way to get smooth windows edges when draggin? sync to vblank in nvidia-settings only seems to affect like video clipping.. I've spent THREE days on different distros and drivers. === mang0 is now known as Seryth [17:26] ye, INSTALL and README [17:26] ghoti: the Packages file there is empty, which is why you don't find anything (it seemed to be empty for most of the lucid ones, except ichinga-web-lucid, may want to contact them about it) [17:27] trism: Even with an empty package file, shouldn't `apt-cache search icinga` at least show me something? [17:27] ghoti: no, because there are no packages [17:27] Er... Ah, I get it. [17:27] Thanks. [17:27] XUBUNTU is great [17:27] (Sorry, I'm a little new to apt.) [17:28] Pici: I'm to CD to the directory containing the folder, but i cant view my windows desktop on vmware [17:28] xGrub11: if you aren't trying to use 2 screens, linux is pretty much awesome === xubuntu is now known as Guest17706 [17:28] yupz [17:28] if you are, x server is a nightmare [17:28] trism: is that why `apt-get update` shows a number of "Ign" lines for that package source? [17:28] i'll try someday [17:28] thanks [17:28] I couldn't get it to work 5 years ago, 3, or now [17:28] Also, is there a way to have apt tell me all the packages that it *can* get from a particular source? [17:29] ghoti: download some tarball [17:29] install it manually [17:30] xGrub11: from source? On this server I'm hoping to use software that has some other responsible (more knowledgeable) party updating it when vulnerabilities are discovered. Hence the value of a packaging system. [17:31] xGrub11: I'm happy to install from source in a dev environment on throw-away VMs, but that's not a good strategy for maintaining a publicly accessible server in the long run. [17:31] ghoti: you know, i haven't been able to find a way to ask apt to tell me what packages a repository URL contains. not ruling out there is one, but the best i could find was some aptitude option to filter by component - not the same thing === pdtpatrick_ is now known as pdtpatrick [17:32] hmmm [17:32] Hello! I'm trying to configure sasl authentication with postfix and dovecot. I have installed the package dovecot-postfix [17:33] when i telnet to port 25 i can't see 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN [17:33] Ah - Icinga solution. Just chatted with the maintainer of the repository I'm using, and apparently there's something in recent Icinga that tickles a bug in Lucid that was fixed in later versions of Ubuntu. [17:33] You mean your production servers aren't throw-away? [17:33] B0g4r7: har de har.... === Htbrdd is now known as zz_Htbrdd [17:34] or "hardy" har. There one of those I'm trying to get rid of too... === KucheOtKervana is now known as MarmotaStafer [17:34] I'd think you'd want the servers (testing or production) to be disposable, such that you can 'fig a new one up at any time using a script. [17:35] B0g4r7: The new batch of servers I'm installing are definitely set up that way -- custom FreeBSD installer that runs off PXEboot. But I still have some legacy stuff to deal with. [17:36] But "easily re-installed" is subtly different from "disposable". ;-) [17:37] <[snake]> hello [17:37] no guides i find works for med [17:37] me [17:38] anyone having apt-get update problems with ubuntu.com? no Package header, to be more specific [17:38] the configuration files looks very different from the examples [17:38] <[snake]> when you click on an executable text file, it asks you what to do, how do you do that for normal executables? [17:38] Does ubuntu still use the /etc/environment file for proxy configuration? [17:38] exe files are for windows. [17:38] hi people. i have a question about banshee. is there an extension to download album-art for radio tracks(with artist and title delivered by the station). or can i at least assign a cover for a radio stream? [17:38] witten try changing mirror [17:38] Hi [17:39] oer: thanks [17:39] Any reminder program available in Ubuntu Linux? [17:39] Basically tasks and events === niklas is now known as rincewind [17:39] why the fuck does the installer not switch to an other mirror if the download of updates stops? [17:39] avinashhm: it apears there isn't much difference with git serving than setup of a group of users access to an ssh site http://git-scm.com/book/ch4-1.html [17:39] desti, no cursing here [17:39] for reminder I use calendar in gmail. [17:39] !language | desti [17:39] desti: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [17:40] <[snake]> irv_, I never said anything about win32 executables. [17:40] desti: probably waiting on your patch [17:40] There's, uh, Evolution Mail & Calendar... [17:40] Which I've never tried. === jumpy is now known as jumpycore [17:40] there was nothing possible to do, just wait and after 30 minutes it freezed [17:40] hey how's it going [17:41] Hallo irgendein deutscher hier der mir helfen kann habe probleme mit wow unter XFace [17:41] <[snake]> german? [17:41] jes [17:41] !de | cowboy [17:41] cowboy: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [17:41] yes [17:41] kaushal: gkrellm-reminder [17:42] i have a question for anyone who knows a little about setting up media servers [17:42] Hallo [17:42] or networking for that matter [17:43] <[snake]> jumpycore, just ask the question please :) [17:43] i'm wondering if it's possible to set up a way to let people get on a network with a password, while only giving them access to the files and refusing them access to the internet [17:43] yeah i was typing it out ;P [17:43] i've got an access point named MRL-SPL2 , I want to connect to it using wpasupplicant. this is the .conf : http://codepad.org/hMXgJRjC and the command " sudo wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c ./wpa_conf -Dwext -dd" is: http://codepad.org/lhEbE59b === mohammad is now known as Guest49091 [17:43] i've got an access point named MRL-SPL2 , I want to connect to it using wpasupplicant. this is the .conf : http://codepad.org/hMXgJRjC and the command " sudo wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c ./wpa_conf -Dwext -dd" is: http://codepad.org/lhEbE59b [17:44] You're talking about wifi clients, jumpycore? [17:44] i donno what jumycore is! but yes, im talking about wifi client [17:45] well say i have a server set up, and i have some buddies who want to download something from me. i give them the password, they get access to the files on the netwrok but are not allowed on the internet [17:45] jumpycore: sure you can do that, what kind of files do you want to server over what protocol? http? [17:45] ok i'm a huge noob, but honestly it's for videos/music/various other files i may have [17:45] Buddies at your physical location? [17:45] <[snake]> jumpycore, are your buddies on your router(like locally i guess) or at their house. [17:45] i'm trying to do my research before i get back to germany [17:45] yes physical location [17:46] otherwisei would just set up an FTP or something [17:46] local [17:46] aha . so its not about jumpycore! [17:46] hello, I had to modify some .c files in a deb package for ubuntu, but I'm struggling on finding the best way to install updated source. Can anyone point me the right direction? [17:46] its about connecting to the access point [17:46] jumpycore: you can serve music video's with icecast for broadcast or just simple http with flash [17:46] The short asnwer is yes, an internet router can usually be configured to allow or deny particular stations access to the internet. [17:47] Though I suppose some routers mey be too basic to offer such a fueature. [17:48] B0g4r7, yeah that's what i figured. i guess i'll have to do research into which router to buy. but what i require sounds like it would be something heavy duty like what i used in afghanistan when connected to a satellite [17:48] Not really. I imagine anything that can run dd-wrt would work. [17:48] LjL: Yes... Darn... I'd be happy writing a simple awk script to parse `apt-cache --full search .`, but even that doesn't seem to include origin repository. :-( [17:49] hmm what is dd-wrt [17:49] i've got an access point named MRL-SPL2 , I want to connect to it using wpasupplicant. this is the .conf : http://codepad.org/hMXgJRjC and the command " sudo wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c ./wpa_conf -Dwext -dd" is: http://codepad.org/lhEbE59b [17:49] dd-wrt is a popular router firmware that can run on lots of different hardware. [17:49] jumpycore: it's a replacement for the default OS and software that runs on some commercial wifi routers. [17:49] jumpycore: is an open firmware i think [17:49] ah ok [17:50] :(( i got a simple problem in wpa supplicant [17:50] ghoti: I am not sure what you are after, but apt-cache policy shows suggested repository [17:50] hey guys i just spun up a new ubuntu linode, can anyone tell me why anything i install gets me Hash Sum mismatch? even after apt-get-update, fix-missing, etc [17:50] why nobody help me!!! [17:50] tried 12.04 and 10.04 [17:50] !patience | Guest49091 [17:50] Guest49091: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [17:50] !patience | Guest49091 [17:50] bleh, ninja'd [17:50] is that possibly linode's problem? [17:50] jumpycore: or openwrt similar to dd-wrt, can run in a small box like a wifi access point for less than $40 [17:51] My system is really slow, I imagine it's caused by lack of disk space, I wonder, how do I check about disk availability, how much would it be enough for Ubuntu 12.04, and finally, in case I want to extend a disk partition, which would be a good tool for that. If someone would be kind to help me I would be thankful. [17:51] thanks guys, it's a start into what i'm looking for. essentially i want to create a media server for my network (laptops+tvs+xbox access), and create local access for my friends who want to download movies from me, without running the risk of them stealing my internet because i live in barracks [17:51] oCean: Ah hah, thanks, you've given me something I can parse! [17:51] semarjt: Maybe you're behind some sort of http proxy. Try "wget google.com" and look at the result to see if it looks like google or like something else. [17:52] ghoti: but what is it that you are trying to do? [17:52] no that looks like google source [17:52] just curious [17:52] two boxes are giving Hash sum mismatch during package installation. [17:52] semarjt: are you using us.archive.ubuntu.com? [17:52] is this a known issue? [17:52] trism: dont know, whatever is default for linode, [17:52] donpdonp: I have seen it mentioned several times [17:52] been using linode for a long time [17:52] I've been hearing pp talk about hash mismatches on the repos all morning. [17:52] ppl [17:52] jumpycore: I have a small lan with about 10 users I just setup file shareing with samba that people can access all my movies on demand [17:52] especially with their 10.04 image [17:52] never had this problem before [17:53] oCean: hmm. I'm trying to do two things. First is list all the available packages provided by a given repository. Second is to find the origin repository of a currently-installed package. [17:53] oCean: my 10.x server and 12.04 laptop are both saying it. seems like a potentially huge problem [17:53] trism, how do i tell [17:53] semarjt: it has been having issues all day if so, may want to wait a bit later to update [17:53] semarjt: /etc/apt/sources.list [17:53] Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libt/libterm-readline-gnu-perl/libterm-readline-gnu-perl_1.19-2_i386.deb Hash Sum mismatch [17:53] donpdonp: sorry, but I don't know details [17:53] oCean: Your suggestion doesn't help with the first, and seems only to hint at the second. I.e. if a package is available from multiple repositories, it'll list them all. [17:53] ghoti: the origin repository can be tricky to get, but if you use synaptic you can sort by origin (and see origin points) [17:53] as well, it lets you see what's in each repository [17:53] trism what has been having trouble all day? us.archive.ubuntu.com? (yes i am using it) [17:54] sacarlson, that would be a consideration, however, they would be connected to the network with internet access. i'm saying for filesharing locally as well as streaming [17:54] is there an alternative [17:54] Guest49091, aren't you supposed to specify a key somewhere to use wpa? [17:54] I am always having this 'argument' with my CTO about ubuntu vs bsd, compile from source vs .deb/packagemanagement [17:54] Hey I installed ubuntu 12.04 today and I have a problem with adding keyboard layout, I choose a keyboard layout to add and nothing happens... any ideas? maybe there's a way to change the layout in xserver level? [17:54] jumpycore: I have a system with coova-chilli that requires membership to access internet, the movies I give free access [17:54] ghoti: I think there should be a Packages.tgz for each repo. But I have no idea if the apt db contains origin info for each package.. [17:54] this is the first time i've ever doubted my side [17:55] TheLordOfTime: that might be nice, but overkill and not exactly what I need; I don't want to have to install all of synaptic's dependencies for something I want to use in a script. :P [17:55] hi [17:55] semarjt: have you tried a different mirror? [17:55] oCean: So perhaps just using wget or curl to fetch the Packages file, then parse it myself. Okay, I can handle that easily enough if the tools don't already exist. [17:55] I get mixed colors in flash, is there already a fix for this? [17:55] jrib what are my options [17:55] ghoti: ah, you want this for a script, sorry didnt see that. [17:55] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/970358 [17:55] Launchpad bug 967091 in adobe-flashplugin (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #970358 Wrong tint in flash when it uses video acceleration" [Undecided,Confirmed] [17:55] jumpycore, another approach would be to add a network card to your server to attach to a new network that has just the server and your buddies on it, and no internet router. [17:56] !mirror | semarjt [17:56] semarjt: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Precise, and help keeping the servers' load low! [17:56] googling coova-chilli... [17:56] ...i dont need an installation CD [17:56] B0g4r7, that's a consideration... [17:56] ? [17:56] semarjt: see the mirrors part [17:56] semarjt: keep reading... I don't know if there's a list of archive mirrors somewhere though [17:57] coova-chilli appears to be exactly what i'm looking for....judging by their little drawing on their home page [17:57] semarjt: in ubottu's second link: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors [17:57] ah ok thanks [17:57] jumpycore: coova-chilli also runs on ubuntu [17:57] You're gonna run radius?... [17:58] i have no idea what radius is [17:58] Seems a bit, uh, heavyweight, but could be fun. [17:58] what is radius [17:58] giw do I fix the flash bug? === diegovieira is now known as Guest73858 [17:58] is it possible to downgrade? === Guest73858 is now known as revolts [17:59] whats a good way to switch mirros, do i just open sources.list and do %s/us.archive.ubuntu.com/mirror.anl.gov/g ? [17:59] g0th, is this for youtube? [17:59] not only but yes [17:59] for flash [17:59] or is there a more temporary solution [17:59] it is a bug from adobe's flash plugin [17:59] ghoti: could this be helpful? http://serverfault.com/questions/138546/in-ubuntu-linux-how-do-i-list-packages-installed-from-the-universe-repository [17:59] Personally, I just got rid of Flash, and was happy to find that youtube still works. It fell back to an html5 player. [17:59] Is it possible to install Ubuntu 64bit on a 32bit machine supporting PAE (Physical Address Extension) [18:00] adrenalink: nope, you'd need the 32bit+PAE kernel [18:00] I cannot even disable hw accel, I can open the settings window but I cannot click on anything in that settings window [18:00] B0g4r7: but that won't work for flash stuff [18:00] only on youtube maybe [18:01] Indeed it won't. [18:01] B0g4r7: jumpycore: I have another version that doesn't require radius with captive portal https://github.com/sacarlson/mini_isp [18:01] So I can't convince you to abandon Flash then? [18:01] because youtube has some html5 fallback iirc [18:01] Right,. [18:01] B0g4r7: I don't like flash but it is necessary [18:01] semarjt, donpdonp: Canonical is doing some fixes on their end, looks like one of the archive servers was having issues, things should be sorted on soon.. or just switch to a different mirror in the meantime. [18:01] so no [18:01] i'm looking at what radius is right now [18:01] I'm trying to run cdrecord and not getting far. The relevant line returned with cdrecord -scanbus is 1,1,0 101) 'ATAPI ' 'iHAS124 C ' 'LL02' Removable CD-ROM and so I figure that the command ought to start with cdrecord dev=1,1,0 blahblahblah True or False? [18:01] A shame. [18:01] i saved the link thanks [18:01] the only solution I have is to use download helper [18:01] Other than running Flash in VM, I have no solution. [18:02] and then use mplayer/vlc/whatever to play the downlaoded file [18:02] but that's extremely annoying [18:02] also I read that adobe will not release any further versions [18:02] so this will stay like this forever [18:02] seems unaccaptable for me [18:02] Yeah. [18:02] TheLordOfTime: how could I set it up? installing an ubuntu 32 bit and then recompiling the kernel for a 64 bit with PAE enabled? [18:02] hence my recommendation to move away from it. [18:03] g0th: You asked how to fix the flash bug, but unless I'm istaken, you haven't explained what flash bug you're referring to. [18:03] adrenalink: no, you just install the PAE kernel there is no such thing as 64bit with PAE [18:03] I did [18:03] adamk: I posted the link [18:03] adrenalink: PAE is a 32bit only thing [18:03] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/970358 [18:03] Launchpad bug 967091 in adobe-flashplugin (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #970358 Wrong tint in flash when it uses video acceleration" [Undecided,Confirmed] [18:03] g0th: I tried some of the yourtube html5 stuf with Lubuntu with chromium but seems it didn't always work, like they have to convert on the fly? [18:03] Ahhh, disable acceleration :-) [18:03] how? [18:03] it is not working [18:03] Right click in a flash animation and go to settings. [18:03] g0th: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin/+bug/967091 <-- that's the relevant bug, the one you linked is a duplicate [18:03] Launchpad bug 967091 in adobe-flashplugin (Ubuntu) "Wrong tint in flash when it uses video acceleration" [Undecided,Confirmed] [18:03] ok [18:04] but I cannot click anything [18:04] in the settings window [18:04] it is not responding to clicks [18:04] I guess I haven't used it a lot, but the html5 youtube seemed to work well for me. [18:04] TheLordOfTime: right... [18:04] I don't watch youtube [18:04] I also have the Minitube app I can use if neeed be. [18:04] I watch other flash stuff mostly [18:04] like some streaming sites [18:04] g0th: Sorry, don't know then. I can certainly access the settings here. [18:04] oCean: Thanks, that's a good tip. I think it helps with finding the origin repository (though I have to figure out how to interpret the results), and parsing the repo's Packages file myself answers my first question. [18:04] g0th, full screen it first [18:04] it doesn't work here [18:04] I recall reading about a config file you can edit. [18:04] yes [18:05] I read that too [18:05] Being closed-source, the chances of fixing any bugs in Flash are not good.

[18:06] GeeksOnHugs: humble bundle V is still going on for a few days, and many of the games are available in the software center after you buy http://www.humblebundle.com/ [18:07] oh dear [18:07] adamk: thx, I got that command line from somewhere else where it only showed the second command, so I assumed it was for some other installation that puts stuff in /etc/adobe/ [18:07] ty [18:07] hey, does anyone know how to make slapd read pam users/passwds?

[18:08] My system is really slow, I imagine it's caused by lack of disk space, I wonder, how do I check about disk availability, how much would it be enough for Ubuntu 12.04, and finally, in case I want to extend a disk partition, which would be a good tool for that. If someone would be kind to help me I would be thankful. [18:08] Hey how can I change the keyboard layout in the xserver level?

On prior releases I used the keyboard tool to map these functions to workspace up/workspace down. Since I've upgraded to 12.04 it seems as though that keybinding is being ignored and it's only accepting the default alt-ctrl-up/alt-ctrl-down also chrome and thunderbird keep grabbing the keys... any idea how I fix this and get back to the 11.04 behavior I had configured?

[19:13] Chuck_Norris: no-one confirms that pulling that module from the kernel works either [19:13] something not to expensive [19:13] ye, but the users with the issues says: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [19:14] Chuck_Norris: yes and no-one says it works [19:14] sry [19:14] i read wrong xD but anyway this is the module he needs i know [19:14] Chuck_Norris: again, it's "sorry" [19:14] Chuck_Norris: nothing wrong with trying, but please don't tell people to pull random stuff into their system [19:14] Chuck_Norris: how do you know it's the module he needs ? [19:15] hmm [19:15] becouse yesterday i saw a tutorial and the module "brcm80211" is for 4312 and newer cards [19:15] sry 4313 [19:15] help please :) [19:15] Chuck_Norris: yet when you where first asked you didn't mention this, you just pulled up a random thread [19:15] all the users trying to refute all the helpers instead of help [19:16] Chuck_Norris: because you are suggesting potentially very wrong and bad things [19:16] i know this will helps [19:16] i already helped some users with some wireless cards issues before [19:16] in mint chat people actually offer help... [19:16] @ sound card, every sound card I've had in the past has just worked. :P If you're wondering about support for something you want to buy, it'll probably be fine if it's recent. You can always try Googling, which is what most would be doing here, anyway. :P [19:17] Chuck_Norris: so you've done this process before ? [19:17] Guest84484: are you using mint ? [19:17] trism: It'd be nice if the debian/ubuntu package did build the dumb version. Or if there were a separate package [19:17] no but [19:17] Guest84484: then it has no relevence here [19:17] i know but [19:17] Guest84484: but what ? [19:17] zoidfarb: you could always file a bug requesting that [19:17] im trying ubuntu [19:17] no, but again i read a tutorial yesterday and the same the module "brcm80211" is for 4313 [19:17] it seems these support forums kinda arent good [19:18] Hi there I have a friend who has a bsod and I think I need to do a chkdsk can I do that from an ubuntu live cd does anyone know? [19:18] trism: Yeah, I think that's what I'll do. Report the bug upstream, and file a question/request with the Ubuntu maintainers to build dfrotz [19:18] trism: thanks again for your help [19:18] Chuck_Norris: please find that tutorital or link to it, you've just told someone to do something based on no information, that stuff maybe potentially quite bad, [19:18] i just wanted to know what soundcard to buy for ubuntu [19:18] that will work out of the box [19:18] !hcl | Guest84484 [19:18] Guest84484: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [19:18] anybody here using F LUX?

[19:20] i bet everything, the user already solved with the paste that i give to him [19:21] Chuck_Norris: he may/may not have, but just suggesting random things, isn't really a method of support we want [19:21] is not random [19:21] Where can I find the difference between "tty", "console" "terminal", etc.? [19:21] Chuck_Norris: find me the tutorial you where reading [19:21] like i said i saw so many tutorials and all pount to the same "brcm80211" [19:22] Chuck_Norris: great, grab me one please. [19:22] search it by your self if you don't belive it me [19:22] Guest84484, if you're worried about a future purchase, just Google the name of the sound card + Ubuntu and look for user experiences. 99% of us here know as much as you do unless we happen to have the exact card you want to buy. :P [19:22] Anybody here using F LUX?

[19:28] how do you get empathy to auto authorize with nickserv? [19:28] schultza: empathy is Very limited for irc, better try a dedicated irc client [19:30] kalgecin: sounds like a perfect job for rsync [19:30] !info rsync | kalgecin [19:30] kalgecin: rsync (source: rsync): fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool. In component main, is standard. Version 3.0.9-1ubuntu1 (precise), package size 291 kB, installed size 619 kB [19:31] zykotick9, it does it automatically on each change? or atleast on login/logout? [19:31] ideally something like dropbox but for full home and on lan [19:31] kalgecin: not by default - you'd typically run it manually. for autosync, there might be a better option available... (i forget the name though...) [19:31] trying sparkleshare [19:32] does the job but only for 1 folder inside home [19:35] what is sparklesharE?

[19:41] myhero_: paste: lspci [19:42] ikonia: ok [19:42] Chuck_Norris: ok wait [19:42] shadykhan: use your user's crontab with @reboot I guess (did you file a bug report/ does one already exist?)

You may have problems with multiple monitor support, for instance. [19:51] is that list comprehensive [19:51] boa tarde pessoal!

[20:05] fAz4: same base, not sure what's different if anything [20:05] myhero now: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git [20:05] fAz4: chrome = chromium with spying...

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [20:07] I only got the breif story [20:08] If it's as good as amazon and cheaper I might us it to host an instance [20:08] pucix, I don't see why they would have to stay with Windows, Ubuntu is a heavily used OS now in the server world, and easy to manage. For Azure to compete with Amazon they have to offer Ubuntu [20:09] Chuck_Norris: what and where this git command downloading ?? [20:09] myhero: linux-fimware [20:09] no on is in off topic [20:09] pucix: many people are [20:10] LittleBallOfHate: where is it being downloaded ? can i save it ? [20:10] myhero: yeah it's in the directory called linux-firmware [20:10] pucix: This conversation is better in #ubuntu-offtopic as its not a support question, thats the best channel for general chat about ubuntu [20:10] myhero: right where you ran the git command [20:11] firmware directory then will i be able to upgrade again fron it and how ? [20:11] for suer is in your personal folder, if you type the comand being in your $HOME but i don't find nothing diferent that already have in my /lib/firmware [20:12] LittleBallOfHate: so if i save this firmware directory then will i be able to upgrade again fron it and how ? [20:12] is ia32-libs not installable? I cannot install it because of missing 32bit libGL.so.1 [20:12] so let me search how to compile the "brcm80211" [20:12] precise [20:12] ok [20:12] yea its in my home folder [20:13] myhero: I don't know what you're doing with that but to update it go in the linux-firmware directory and run "git pull" [20:13] LittleBallOfHate: was just asking.....ok thnx for the pull....

[20:22] preserve permissions [20:23] read from http://ss64.com/bash/rsync.html [20:24] Chuck_Norris: u there ?

[20:27] 1 gig [20:27] yea the fiirmware was complete but after that the coommand u gave, its taking time....git clone pub/scm... [20:28] anyway i following this tutorial, and for sure it will helps you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1617380 [20:28] ok [20:29] is that simple you have 4313 chip and "brcm80211" works with that chip everyone every posts say the same [20:30] idk another way to do it more simple than compiling i didn't find anything [20:30] myhero: again, I advise massive caution [20:30] myhero: considering Chuck_Norris has "used" this tutorial he seems to be struggling with it a lot [20:31] Chuck_Norris: any other eassier way like any deb rpm or tar ? [20:31] myhero: i don't find anything [20:32] ikonia: since i have to solve the problem so i have faith with him regarless of result but this 1gb of whatever is blowing my mind... [20:33] myhero: nothing wrong with following what Chuck_Norris is suggesting, I'm just offering a warning/caution [20:33] ikonia: what do u suggest....any workarounds ? [20:34] myhero: I've not checked it out due to my concerns with the initial advice [20:35] the most easy thing which i m guessing right now is changing this Broadcom card with intel one....HP laptops n broadcom cards are ****holes....

Popup of unity panel requires persisten poking with mouse. 2. tabing in Chrome or firefox is much slower than in 9.04 or 10.10 [20:42] Chuck_Norris: thnx mate....pm plz [20:42] mixer keeps forgetting the mic volume after reboot. what to do?

[20:45] myhero: see the URL i just gave you. === Tux is now known as game [20:47] guys, I'm getting crazy. Nautilus is ignoring my LC_COLLATE setting (sort order should be de_DE.UTF-8, not C -> it should be case insensitive). It works fine with ls, but not in Nautilus [20:49] I've already changed etc/default/locale and added an export LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8" in the .profile file. Any idea from where nautilus could get it's wrong collate setting? === Lloir is now known as Lloir|SleepingDr === Lloir|SleepingDr is now known as Lloir|Sleeping [20:50] So I finished the transition from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 today and got my new system and my old home together, it's amazing. Thank you all so much for all the help yesterday. [20:50] Thom-: poke around in the gconf-editor app. also, #ubuntu-de users may have similar experiences they have solved. [20:50] How would I set 12.04 to run xmodmap before starting X? [20:50] isn't the gconf editor only for gnome? (I'm using unity) [20:51] Thom-: Nautilus setting strings are visible to that app. [20:51] mneptok: isn't it dconf-editor with gnome3? question, i'm certainly not sure. [20:51] I have a question about the gnome-terminal however, I notice whenever I try to use the keyboard commands I'm used to in other terminals like C-b and C-f to move backward an forward one word, the menubar pops up instead of the cursor moving back or forward by a word. Is there a way to fix this to the normal shell behavior for shells? [20:51] zykotick9: OK, i'm not sure, either. [20:52] zykotick9: you go research it and then tell me. thanks! ;) [20:52] Frustrated: installed 11.10, found it slow, upgraded to 12.04, found it slow as 11.10. Originally was running 9.04 [20:53] mneptok: i'd say your gconf-editor (just from an !info search appears correct). sorry for the mis-direct. [20:54] intrader, older or newer computer? [20:54] mneptok: or maybe not? http://askubuntu.com/questions/122039/dconf-editor-and-gconf-editor [20:55] same computer - a lenovo t61p which performs very fast in windows xp mode [20:55] intrader, obviously same computer what are the ram and chips specs, comparing with XP is pointless. [20:55] which doesn't really mean anything [20:56] how does one set the system default window manager? === zz_Htbrdd is now known as Htbrdd [20:57] thebwt, what desktop and release? [20:57] thebwt: are you using a DM? if so, use those settings. if not "sudo update-alternatives --config x-window-manager" might do it? [20:57] wilee-nilee, 4GB memory, where are the specs? [20:57] intrader, 64 bit install? [20:57] wilee-nilee, no, 32 bit [20:58] wilee-nilee: 12.04 ubuntu, trying to set kde as default. [20:58] zykotick9: so I'd go through lightdm's stuff in a normal system? [20:58] Ubuntu 12.04 - sound coming out both headphone jack and speakers. How do I disable sound out speaker when plugged in? [20:58] thebwt: ya. sorry i don't know the specifics. === llstarks is now known as erappleman [20:58] intrader, well not really knowing what your definition of slow is, and if it is the DE that is slowing you down hard to say what's up. [20:59] so I've mapped "move to workspace above" and "move to workspace below" to F19 & F20 respectively and I've mapped keys on my keyboard to F19 and F20, but the key sequence doesn't work and gnome-shell still only seems to respond to ctrl-alt-up/ctrl-alt-down for this action === game is now known as thunderkittens [21:00] intrader, there are other DE's similiar to gnome 2 is that what you want? [21:00] hi, have maverick (10.10) installed, trying to install virt-install and virt-viewer using apt-get from command line. Unable to locate package, any suggestions? [21:01] !eol | lostAtSea [21:01] lostAtSea: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [21:01] !10.10 | lostAtSea update as wilee-nilee pointed out [21:01] lostAtSea update as wilee-nilee pointed out: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. [21:02] ok, does that mean in later versions virt-install and virt-viewer are part of main [21:02] Quick question: how do I start Busybox from GRUB? [21:02] lostAtSea, it means you will have the standard repo access [21:02] lostAtSea: all it means - is 10.10 is done/unsupported [21:02] wilee-nilee, I just want to run what the system defaults to [21:03] ...or even better, before GRUB? [21:03] Ubuntu 12.04 - sound coming out both headphone jack and speakers. How do I disable sound out speaker when plugged in? alsamixer does not display speaker separate from headphone [21:03] does gnome shell even honor the settings in the keyboard shortcuts? [21:03] lostAtSea: appears to be in 12.04, virtinst and virt-viewer packages [21:03] intrader, could it be that it seems slow do to the desktop change, you will have to get specific for help really. [21:03] thanks trism. will try that release [21:04] does anyone know what type of value should be in org.gnome.system.locale region? (dconf-editor) It's empty on my system [21:04] should it be like the LC_* stuff? (that means on my system would be de_DE.UTF-8 correct?) [21:05] wilee-nilee, my definition of slow - multiple stabbs to pop up the unity menu - multiple seconds to change tabs in chrome and firefox. [21:05] wilee-nilee, is there a benchmark? [21:05] intrader, have you setup a conky or a way to watch the cpu and ram running, I wonder if you have something running high. [21:05] Thom-: i'd check gconf-editor as well, just read not all settings are in dconf yet. [21:07] intrader, I use a conky to monitor use [21:07] wilee-nilee, I am running top.- how do I install conky [21:07] Ubuntu 12.04 - sound coming out both headphone jack and speakers. How do I disable sound out speaker when plugged in? alsamixer does not display speaker separate from headphone [21:08] so in gconf-editor if I go to desktop->gnome->keybindings I can probably add my own custom keybindings, but what are the values needed for next/previous workspace? [21:09] im getting errors with apt-get .. errors encountered while processing "oracle-java7-installer" as it's trying to download the old version of oracle's java 7 (3 instead of 4).. how do i get apt-get to ignore this now? [21:09] intrader, conky is a sudo apt-get install conky but you want to go on the web and find one you like and put it in home as .conkyrc there is a thread on the ubuntu forums on conkies with pictures and scripts, and sites as well. [21:09] remove and purge doesnt seem to work [21:11] intrader, here is a conky wiki as well it is pretty basic and lots of options. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpConky [21:11] wilee-nilee, I have installed conky [21:12] Ubuntu wont boot after i set up a raid 5 array on 3 x storage disks unless i disconnect the disks first.Any ideas how i can do that now that i have to boot without the disks connected? [21:13] intrader, the stock conky is rather bland, you can run in the terminal conky & exit to show it and killall conky to remove it, check out conky with a google search to get orientated on what the possibilities are.

It did not reboot automatically after it said the install was over, so I reset the machine automatically. It installed grub, but now it just beeps and me and reboots as soon as I try to start it, even in recovery mode. The machine dual boots Debian stable just fine. [22:42] Is there any parameter i can feed grub2 to get this thing up and running or do I have to abandon Ubuntu. I really wanted the 5 year support and (strangely for me) Unity, this is a living room machine running off a TV and Unity is actually well-suited for that task.

[23:15] ok srry rather new http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036345/ [23:15] I thought it would be using the basic drivers like vesa or mesa or whatever it's called [23:15] ki4ro: I know, right?

[23:24] No, I changed replaced xfce with unity. [23:25] But it still shows me the xfce log in. [23:25] Not the unity one. [23:25] RandomDude123: 'sudo apt-get install lightdm' and when it asks choose lightdm [23:25] ok. solved. well, near enough. I used the compizconfig-settings tool to disable the floating desktop overlay when switching = no more having to press or after switching workspaces to clear the overlay; I also mapped my HUD to the CAPS key = no more interference on Alt now. [23:25] Okay. [23:26] now all i need is to find out how to get ~/.xinitrc working in unity...

[23:27] i have an ubuntu 12.04 server and connect to it via ssh, but i cant modify the sshd_config, not even as root, permissions are set aswell. what could be the reason? [23:28] It says I already have lightdm. [23:28] joe3377: So what happens when you try to modify sshd_config as root? [23:28] joe3377: what happens when you try to edit it? What sequence of commands are you using? [23:29] RandomDude123: IIRC there is an image used by plymouth inside your initrd [23:29] RandomDude123: good, the 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm' and choose lightdm as the default display manager [23:29] RandomDude123: a few images, probably :D [23:29] Okay. [23:29] the=then [23:30] adamk and mcphail: i connect to ssh as root. i want edit sshd_config to allow other users than root. i open file with /nano sshd_config . then i can read and edit the file but i cant save ("no permission") i do that as root and the permissions are set like the other files in the folder, which i can modify.

[23:32] supb [23:33] suprbly: Won t know until you ask us the question [23:33] joe3377: No, that's not the problem. Unfortunately, I don't know what would be causing that. I also don't know why sshd_config would need to be edited to allow other users than root to login. [23:33] well i have it insatalled but it still will not play [23:33] the play button is there i click it and nothing [23:34] suprbly: have you restarted your browser since installing it?

Does anyone have any idea how it could have happened? I installed a few -dev packages today, but other than that I have no idea how it happened. Ideas? [23:41] Steve132: (don't reply to me) but i also think the google-chrome is a repository, not a PPA [23:42] How can I add a label to a line in Dia?

[23:47] I can no longer resize windows from the bottom left and bottom right corners [23:47] is this a new feature in ubuntu 12? [23:47] joe3377: what is the output of "ls -l /etc/ssh/ssh*"?

[23:53] nutty42: What is the contents of /etc/issue ?

[23:57] thanks. [23:57] mcphail: i don't know about selinux i fear. i asked my provider if the file is locked in anyway, he said no it isn't. how could i find out if it had something to do with it? === hugodes is now known as hugodes_afk [23:57] mesans tunning out of ram, or running [23:57] nutty42: Does "sudo apt-get install --reinstall base-files" change the contents of /etc/issue ?
