| reisio | kkimlabs: there are many approaches | 00:16 |
| SolarisBoy | chroot | 00:17 |
| mcphail | joe3377: just a thought - is the root filesystem mounted from a USB stick or SD card with the write-protect tab on? | 00:17 |
| reisio | kkimlabs: the most traditional is called a chroot jail | 00:17 |
| kkimlabs | SolarisBoy, I think that requires root | 00:17 |
| SolarisBoy | not really like if you do it under your home - but if you want a full chroot with mounted devs and such yea | 00:17 |
| === alecm__ is now known as alecm_ | ||

| Biafra | blah... damn b43 driver | 00:18 |
| kkimlabs | SolarisBoy, oh I didn't know that, but "chroot ~/Downloads/" gives me "chroot: cannot change root directory to /home/kkb110/Downloads/: Operation not permitted". what did I do wrong? | 00:18 |
| suprbly | had to manually unistall and manually install | 00:18 |
| joe3377 | mcphail: i can't tell for sure if my provider is trolling me, but it's supposed to be a dedicated root server with an HDD, which contains the os. as i said, it was possible to mod the file a while ago, as i can still mod the other files in the directory | 00:19 |
| suprbly | damn you ubuntu for all the symb links to flash | 00:19 |
| reisio | suprbly: shouldn't have to manually install flash | 00:19 |
| SolarisBoy | not sure - now that i think of it you may need root to do some things | 00:19 |
| suprbly | you would think sir | 00:19 |
| mcphail | joe3377: ok - well I'm beat. Goodnight and good luck | 00:19 |

| eagle_eye | Biafra* | 00:22 |
| kkimlabs | SolarisBoy, I'm planning to make a linux game, but not open sourced, and since user cannot trust 100% the code, I want to provide a simple way to execute it in a a sandboxed environment. | 00:22 |
| SolarisBoy | crazypete: maybe this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-debian-package-management-cheat-sheet.html | 00:22 |

| Biafra | back to my problem | 00:23 |
| eagle_eye | ahh | 00:23 |
| SolarisBoy | kkimlabs: i see - i guess it is pretty vague | 00:23 |
| Biafra | my bcm4318-based wifi will not connect | 00:23 |
| SolarisBoy | it depends on what you are needing to sandbox? i mean logically speaking it sounds like that itself requires root no? how would the game then access resources on the system from the sanbox that weren't owned by the user? | 00:23 |
| eagle_eye | !broadcom | Biafra | 00:23 |
| ubottu | Biafra: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 00:23 |
| SolarisBoy | maybe you can run it in some sort of light virtual or something? like qemu? not sure what it requires | 00:24 |
| Jonii_ | I found an interesting bug, by the way | 00:24 |
| NBG757 | me a black screen sounds like that itself requires root | 00:24 |
| kkimlabs | SolarisBoy, itself wouldn't require root, but still can be dangerous, e.g. transmitting ~/.ssh/ to the hacker | 00:24 |
| Biafra | eagle_eye, the issue is not there (I have the firmware installed on there thanks to some quick cell-tethering) | 00:25 |
| Jonii_ | I made a new user for my Zenbook laptop. That user could not do 4 finger tap, it was interpreted as 3 finger tap | 00:25 |
| Biafra | it can find hotspots, but will not connect to them | 00:25 |
| === alecm__ is now known as alecm_ | ||
| Jonii_ | I could do that 4 finger tap. Seems that logging out and back in fixed the problem, but I have no idea what could have caused this | 00:25 |
| SolarisBoy | i can understand that.. its normal - but i mean everyone else doesn't sandbox due to that... | 00:25 |
| kkimlabs | yeah right, and that's probably ok, since most linux programs are open sourced | 00:26 |
| SolarisBoy | right | 00:26 |
| kkimlabs | but I'm not planning to open source, and I think,. if I were a user, I would worry that possibility | 00:27 |
| Relondo | I need to mount Ubuntu to a specific partition. However, when I go to select the partition in the Ubuntu installer, it says "No root system defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu." Help? | 00:27 |
| kkimlabs | maybe I'm worrying too much lol | 00:27 |
| SolarisBoy | i think so. | 00:27 |
| crazypete | SolarisBoy, I am not an idiot. I just do not understand why I should f with all these single packages when there are meta packages and a package manager. The system seems broken and missmanaged by id10Ts whos hobby is to fiddle with one package at a time. | 00:28 |
| eagle_eye | Relondo: root partition is / | 00:28 |
| SolarisBoy | crazypete: i didn't say you were =) | 00:28 |
| Relondo | (By the way, I'm trying to mount it to a partition created from a previous failed Ubuntu installation, during which someone closed the lid of my laptop :/) | 00:28 |
| SolarisBoy | was just referencing a link i once used for the same | 00:29 |
| Relondo | eagle_eye: Okay. So can you help me? | 00:29 |
| SolarisBoy | i actually rather like the way deps work on debian systems | 00:29 |
| NBG757 | to work | 00:29 |

| eagle_eye | Relondo: create the partition...select / as root and mount ubuntu on it | 00:30 |
| Relondo | eagle_eye: 1) The partition already exists. 2) I don't have the faintest idea how to do that. | 00:30 |
| Relondo | eagle_eye: Sorry, but I really need step-by-step instructions. | 00:30 |

| eagle_eye | Relondo: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/installation-guide/i386/howto-installation.html | 00:36 |
| Jordan_U | Relondo: Make *absolutely sure* that "format partiiton" is *not* selected (unless you want to lose all the data currently on the paritition, in which case it's fine for it to be selected). | 00:36 |
| Relondo | Jordan_U: I want all the data to be erased. But thanks. | 00:37 |
| Jordan_U | How can I add a label to a line in Dia? I'm making a flow chart with conditionals and I need to label the arrows with "yes" or "no". | 00:37 |

| escott | cobalt237, then mkdir /test | 01:51 |
| ki4ro | NBG757: Where should I start? | 01:52 |
| cobalt237 | escott: mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4' | 01:52 |
| sirriffsalot_ | escott, that was a lot of new things.. | 01:52 |
| NBG757 | i need to mount ubuntu on it | 01:52 |
| sirriffsalot_ | escott, I need sudo when root is the owner lol:P | 01:52 |
| bazhang | NBG757, is there a way to test that bot | 01:52 |
| sirriffsalot_ | escott, would you mind explaining how to do those things then..?:) | 01:53 |
| escott | sirriffsalot_, why does root own files in your folder? | 01:53 |
| cobalt237 | escott: Did I somehow lose ext4 support? | 01:54 |
| mrgt_ | so after clarifying that the printer is turned on and still not showing using lsusb, is anyone able to help me? | 01:54 |
| escott | cobalt237, that doesnt make any sense, unless you are running ubuntu 01.04 or something | 01:54 |
| cobalt237 | escott: I'm running on slax right now | 01:54 |
| escott | cobalt237, maybe you didnt compile ext4 support into the kernel, or maybe its a ridiculously old kernel | 01:54 |
| cobalt237 | I couldn't get my OS booted, so following a ubuntu thread, I downloaded slax to run the boot info script | 01:54 |
| escott | cobalt237, i guess for ext4 it wouldnt have to be that old, but still OLD... | 01:54 |
| bazhang | is there a way to test for bot | 01:55 |
| escott | cobalt237, 2008 or earlier | 01:55 |
| sirriffsalot_ | escott, no idea.. | 01:55 |
| Yankees52 | how do i get gimp 2.8? | 01:55 |
| escott | Yankees52, find a ppa, compile it yourself, or wait | 01:55 |
| bazhang | Yankees52, why do you need it | 01:56 |
| ki4ro | NBG757: Where should I start? | 01:56 |
| Yankees52 | new version and also single window! | 01:56 |
| sirriffsalot_ | escott, my home folder is owned by the user (sirriffsalot)... but I moved the files within with "sudo cp -rp" so I have no idea.. | 01:56 |
| bazhang | ki4ro, it was a bot | 01:56 |
| sirriffsalot_ | escott, can you help me fix this? | 01:56 |
| escott | sirriffsalot_, why would you move files with sudo? | 01:56 |
| ki4ro | bazhang: thanks | 01:56 |
| Biafra | okay... nothing is working with my b43 card | 01:57 |
| sirriffsalot_ | escott, because otherwise a few files could not be moved. But I did -recursive preserve, so they should not be this way | 01:57 |
| sirriffsalot_ | escott, can you help me or not?? | 01:57 |
| Biafra | I've tried using the b43 drivers, the STA drivers, and ndiswrapper | 01:57 |
| escott | sirriffsalot_, i think you are in the "i dont understand how things are working so I'm throwing sudo into the mix pattern" which means that now you have sudo problems on top of your original problem | 01:57 |
| Biafra | this is being very off because this USED TO WORK | 01:57 |
| cobalt237 | escott: That's interesting. I was running 12.04 without any problems | 01:58 |
| sirriffsalot_ | escott, nvm, I'll spend more time finding out myself | 01:58 |
| escott | sirriffsalot_, so first you should "sudo chown -R username:username ~/Desktop" and anywhere else in your home directory that you have used sudo cp into | 01:58 |
| escott | sirriffsalot_, that will change ownership so that the files are yours | 01:58 |
| Minorminer | not change | 01:58 |

| fishcooker | which kernel for 12.04 lifecycle | 01:59 |
| fishcooker | ? | 01:59 |
| escott | cobalt237, no the bootloader is on the MBR | 01:59 |

| Minorminer | i need some help running a community of linux users | 01:59 |
| escott | cobalt237, by definition the MBR cannot be on a partition, but you do not have the "i put the bootloader on the PBR problem" your bootloader looks good | 02:00 |
| cobalt237 | escott: Hrmm, where can I go from here? | 02:00 |
| escott | cobalt237, but you need to get a system that can mount your ext4 to be able to properly fix it. so get an ubuntu livecd and use it | 02:00 |

| fishcooker | xangua: how to upgrade kernel 3 to 10.04 safely? | 02:02 |
| xangua | !kernel | fishcooker | 02:03 |
| ubottu | fishcooker: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 02:03 |
| cobalt237 | escott: Cool, I'll give that a shot and come back. Would it just involve rerunning fsck on it and trying to mount it? | 02:03 |
| bazhang | is there a way to test for bot | 02:04 |
| escott | cobalt237, yes. im a little scared that fsck even ran on the filesystem when the kernel doesnt support that variant. but i would rerun fsck and double check that the filesystem looks the way it should | 02:04 |
| escott | bazhang, what doe you mean? | 02:04 |
| sirriffsalot_ | escott, thank you.:) | 02:04 |
| xangua | !test | bazhang | 02:04 |

| === alecm__ is now known as alecm_ | ||
| fishcooker | is there any issue that kernel 3.x draws more power consumption rather than 2.6.x? | 02:06 |
| OerHeks | fishcooker, most powerissues are solved in 3.2.x, so upgrade to 12.04 | 02:07 |
| fishcooker | im on 10.04 | 02:07 |
| fishcooker | would that be useful? | 02:08 |
| === MartinS is now known as Guest9767 | ||
| OerHeks | fishcooker, it is up to you, 10.04 is supported untill april 2013 | 02:10 |

| bazhang | fishcooker, on 10.04? | 02:10 |
| escott | fishcooker, do you have some reason to want a newer kernel? | 02:11 |
| escott | fishcooker, something that isnt working? | 02:11 |
| bazhang | fishcooker, upgrade version to get the newer kernel | 02:11 |
| KRomo | can i get help running a .run? i want to install new nvidiadriver but no ppa for it yet | 02:12 |
| fishcooker | i want to save the battery consumption actually escott | 02:13 |
| fishcooker | KRomo: chmod +x *.run | 02:13 |
| fishcooker | then ./*.run | 02:13 |
| sacarlson1 | fishcooker: I'm not in full agreement with bazhung as if you upgrade the kernel to 3.X in version 10.04 and find you have problems it's easy to go back to the working kernel, not so easy to go back to 10.04 if upgraded to 12.04 | 02:13 |
| KRomo | ok | 02:13 |
| fishcooker | sacarlson1: is it rite that 12.04 consume more power than 10.04 | 02:14 |
| fishcooker | ? | 02:14 |
| escott | fishcooker, i would install powertop, but excessive power usage is usually and acpi issue so unless you know that there is some kind of acpi fix i'm not sure to what extent you will see substantially better performance | 02:14 |
| KRomo | it says it must be run in root | 02:14 |
| sacarlson1 | fishcooker: I don't know about the power, you can easily try it for yourself and find out | 02:15 |
| fishcooker | then sudo it | 02:15 |
| KRomo | now it says You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before | 02:15 |

| escott | KRomo, then logout of your X server. be advised if you install this manually you may have to do this every time you get a new kernel | 02:16 |

| sacarlson1 | subcool: I think they changed the suders groups now have to add your user to suders instead of admin | 02:19 |
| sacarlson1 | or it's sudo group? | 02:19 |
| walkkenn | is there a channel for beginner's help? | 02:19 |
| escott | sacarlson1, sudo group, but its supposed to work for people upgrading | 02:20 |

| WilsonStudioWeb | I want to click a software title and pull application data for the title. To do this I need to have a sample URL for me to work from. | 02:32 |
| WilsonStudioWeb | sure, a minor repo | 02:32 |

| WilsonStudioWeb | I'm working on building a software site similar to android app center. or Tucows. | 02:33 |
| Dr_Willis | use the chroot command as needed you mean subcool ? | 02:33 |
| Skaperen | WilsonStudioWeb: there are no URLs in that JSON file? | 02:33 |
| escott | subcool, so sudo gives the not in the sudoers error, but groups lists you in a group listed in /etc/sudoers | 02:33 |
| WilsonStudioWeb | Except it is for ubuntu. There isn't hardly any out there for Ubuntu | 02:33 |
| subcool | Escott ya | 02:34 |
| Skaperen | WilsonStudioWeb: why not just download the repo index files and learn how to parse their format | 02:34 |
| escott | subcool, just "mount /dev/whatever /media/ubuntu" and then "sudo chroot /media/ubuntu" that will give you access as root, and you can su username to test things as your user | 02:35 |
| WilsonStudioWeb | Because there is obviously a web service out there. I'm already pulling from it. Just isn't any documentation on it. | 02:35 |
| subcool | I just logged in under live USB | 02:35 |
| Skaperen | WilsonStudioWeb: I didn't read docs for the Ubuntu repo index format ... I just looked and figured it out | 02:36 |
| Skaperen | JSON looks pretty simple | 02:36 |
| WilsonStudioWeb | http://wilsonstudioweb.dyndns.org:8888/ubuntu.cfm is already pulling from the webservice located at http://software-center.ubuntu.com/api/2.0/applications/en/ubuntu/precise/i386/ | 02:36 |
| Skaperen | ubuntu repo != JSON ... but is also simple | 02:36 |
| WilsonStudioWeb | I don't need JSOn help I need proper URL | 02:37 |
| Skaperen | URL for one? go through one example | 02:37 |
| WilsonStudioWeb | to retrieve the json | 02:37 |
| Skaperen | a URL per app? | 02:37 |
| subcool-liveusb | escott i really dont know what to do here, lol - i was working on two other things when this happened. | 02:37 |

| WilsonStudioWeb | per app to get the info | 02:37 |
| WilsonStudioWeb | on the app | 02:38 |
| Skaperen | I know they don't do that ... url per app | 02:38 |
| subcool-liveusb | not to do with ubuntu, but stuff. so i am not in the zone right now | 02:38 |
| subcool-liveusb | even in liveusb i have to mount the drive as something else? | 02:38 |
| Skaperen | there is no url per app in the report or software center | 02:38 |
| WilsonStudioWeb | http://software-center.ubuntu.com/api/2.0/applications/en/ubuntu/UBUNTU_RELEASE/CHIPSET/ will give me entire list but I want URL for individual software title | 02:38 |

| WilsonStudioWeb | lol | 02:39 |
| Skaperen | WilsonStudioWeb: there isn't a URL per app because that's not efficient | 02:39 |

| Skaperen | you want to download all the packages? | 02:41 |
| WilsonStudioWeb | I don't want to dowload anything. Just provide URLs for the downloads | 02:41 |

| bazhang | Skaperen, he wants to make an app store for ubuntu | 02:43 |

| === alecm__ is now known as alecm_ | ||

| Skaperen | bazhang: download ubuntu apps, duplicate then, and make cheap pirate copies ... sounds like a plan | 02:43 |
| escott | subcool-liveusb, cant really tell you how to fix it until we figure out whats wrong | 02:44 |
| WilsonStudioWeb | Trying to create simplified interface for linux newbies who maybe have never tried Linux and are wondering what apps are out there maybe before they even install linux. Think simplified interface for newbie conversion | 02:44 |
| * Skaperen has an app store ... apt-get install | 02:44 | |
| subcool-liveusb | escott: so i have to log back into normal user? | 02:44 |
| bazhang | WilsonStudioWeb, no one will install those untrusted packages from a 3rd party source | 02:44 |
| subcool-liveusb | ok- rebooting.. | 02:45 |
| WilsonStudioWeb | Yeah, those ideas sound very easy for linux newbies. Perhaps partialy why it is so hard for Linux to gain popularity. | 02:45 |
| WilsonStudioWeb | sighs | 02:45 |
| Skaperen | WilsonStudioWeb: in other words, a "tour ubuntu software center before you decide to try ubuntu" website | 02:45 |
| bazhang | WilsonStudioWeb, the ubuntu software centre does that already | 02:45 |
| subcool-liveusb | i have no clue on how to fix this.. this is a bit beyond my dumb brain.. | 02:45 |
| bazhang | WilsonStudioWeb, at any rate. good luck. lets take the chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic Now | 02:45 |
| Skaperen | he wants to do it online for people that have not decided yet to try ubuntu | 02:45 |
| WilsonStudioWeb | Correct, I know it does but it could be done better. | 02:46 |
| xangua | is there a way to Automate the audio output when i plugin a headphone or external speakers¿ right now when i do that, i still heard the sound in the internal speakes; i have to go to the audio preferences and Manualy change the output | 02:46 |
| WilsonStudioWeb | the interface that is | 02:46 |
| WilsonStudioWeb | frontend | 02:46 |
| Skaperen | #ubuntu-offtopic sounds good | 02:46 |
| bazhang | WilsonStudioWeb, yeah, this is not on topic any more | 02:46 |
| Skaperen | xangua: I would like something like that ... or better yet, the ability to click a box for "output to all output devices" | 02:47 |
| Skaperen | I'd like to output to my sound card and USB speakers and USB headset at the same time | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | xangua: ive seen variations of that question asked all the time. it does work tha tway with some hardware. Not sure why its such a tricky task. Id bet theres dozens of forum threads and askubuntu.com questions on similer problems | 02:48 |
| Skaperen | say two people are at a computer and both want to hear the same audio in the USB headphones each wears | 02:49 |
| Ansikt | So, I've got a computer with two 'fake' hardware raid controllers, each with two harddrives attached. I want to put all my disks in an LVM instead. Can I just ignore the controllers, or do I have to do something special? | 02:50 |
| subcool | Escott, where do I begin | 02:50 |
| Skaperen | configure the controllers as JBOD | 02:51 |
| escott | subcool, how about "groups" | 02:51 |
| Ansikt | Skaperen: How do I do that? Do I need to change jumpers? | 02:51 |
| subcool | My user is in the groups, escott | 02:51 |
| Skaperen | I don't know because I don't know what you mean by 'fake' | 02:51 |
| escott | Ansikt, go into the bios (or however you setup the controllers) and disable the raid | 02:51 |
| Ansikt | escott: That's just the thing. Neither controller has a place in the bios. One controller has its own pre-boot config utility, but not the other. | 02:52 |
| escott | Ansikt, shrug... you'll have to check the manual for your hardware | 02:53 |
| Ansikt | Skaperen: A software controller on a sata controller. One is this: http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/peripherals/serial-ata_raid/vt6420/ | 02:54 |
| Skaperen | why do you want to do LVM? | 02:54 |
| escott | Ansikt, i doubt that the kernel has any way to control the hardware | 02:54 |
| louis404 | I am trying to run ANSYS 14.0 on Ubuntu 12.04. When I try to run the geometry editor within workbench I get the error: /usr/ansys_inc/v140/aisol/CommonFiles/linx64/ansyswbu.exe: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libXext.so.6: undefined symbol: _XGetRequest | 02:54 |
| Skaperen | that controller does not look 'fake' | 02:54 |
| escott | Skaperen, it is we looked it up yesterday | 02:55 |
| fishbait | i'm back tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958899 and now lspci reports that both kernel driver and kernel module are running r8168 so good there but still no net on that machine | 02:55 |
| fishbait | i used th updated version | 02:55 |
| Ansikt | Skarperen: The other is Promise Fasttrak PDC 20378 | 02:55 |
| JustNull | Hmm... Im trying to lock a Chromium config file to prevent making changes but the rights to the file keeps changing | 02:56 |
| Skaperen | I have no idea how to configure specific controllers to operate in JBOD mode | 02:56 |
| subcool | Escott, should I delete then re add my user?, can I even do anything root | 02:56 |
| === slowz_ is now known as sl0wz | ||
| Ansikt | Skarperen: I just want all my disks to appear as one. I've also been told that those types of controllers are unreliable, but maybe that's just IRC talkin'. | 02:57 |
| Skaperen | some controllers use (usually proprietary) config headers on the hard drives, so if you move the hard drives over to another machine with the same controller, the same RAID config is in effect | 02:57 |
| escott | subcool, i dont know enough to tell you want to do. you havent really shown us anything | 02:57 |
| subcool_ | escott even my kdeinnit crashes now during boot- | 02:57 |
| subcool_ | escott- i dont know what to show you.. lol - | 02:58 |
| escott | subcool_, but it sounds like you have a lot of problems so you might just want to reinstall anyways | 02:58 |
| Skaperen | Ansikt: I don't know about reliability other than for Marvell controller chips ... if those board use Marvell chips, the the rumor are valid | 02:58 |
| escott | subcool_, "groups" for one | 02:58 |
| subcool_ | escott ~$ groups | 02:58 |
| subcool_ | subcool adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare | 02:58 |
| subcool_ | i cant reinstall- i was in the midst of backing things up when this all crashed.. | 02:59 |
| Ansikt | Skaperen: Right again, they are. | 02:59 |
| subcool_ | i dont really have everything backed up as of now.. | 02:59 |
| escott | Ansikt, there are a couple concerns: (a) absence of battery backup (b) proprietary firmware+binary blobs in kernel mode (c) proprietary on disk formats (d) absence of coprocessors for checksums | 02:59 |
| Skaperen | Ansikt: well, then it sounds like you will be having issues at times ... they are known to freeze up and require power cycle to clear ... even on Win7 | 03:00 |
| escott | Ansikt, vs using mdadm which avoids (b) and (c) and gains by allowing the kernel to do raid at the VFS layer instead of lower down so performance might be improved | 03:00 |
| Skaperen | Ansikt: they do it more on Linux, probably because Linux drives them harder | 03:00 |
| fishbait | i'm back tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958899 and now lspci reports that both kernel driver and kernel module are running r8168 so good there but still no net on that machine | 03:00 |
| subcool_ | escott i just tried to report a crash, and it says kded isnt running or something | 03:00 |
| Skaperen | I've heard that Areca brand controllers are reliable and fast ... but also pricey ... available on newegg | 03:01 |
| fishbait | i'm back tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958899 and now lspci reports that both kernel driver and kernel module are running r8168 so good there but still no net on that machine, my lsmod http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036538/ | 03:01 |
| Skaperen | but if you are trying to make things work with what you have, then you are limited to that | 03:02 |
| AssociateX | Hello Earthlings! | 03:02 |
| escott | subcool_, so groups looks ok for 11.10 and earlier. what is /etc/sudoers | 03:03 |
| * Skaperen plucks out one of AssociateX's head antennae ... looks fake | 03:03 | |
| AssociateX | So what's up with the google-chrome crashing on cario? Is there a solution yet? | 03:04 |
| subcool_ | escott, ~$ /etc/sudoers | 03:04 |
| subcool_ | bash: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied | 03:04 |
| escott | subcool_, you would have to open that as root from the chroot | 03:04 |
| subcool_ | chroot /etc/soders? | 03:05 |
| Skaperen | subcool_: are you trying to execute that config file? | 03:05 |
| subcool_ | Skaperen, ask escott | 03:05 |
| Ansikt | escott: I don't think mdadm is an option, because the controllers are controlling disks of different sizes, and thus couldn't intermingle. | 03:05 |
| escott | subcool_, what happened to sudo chroot /media/ubuntu in the livecd? | 03:05 |
| shadykhan | my window borders dissaperead | 03:05 |
| shadykhan | fastest way to get them back is? | 03:06 |
| Ansikt | subcool_, from root 'cat /etc/sudoers' | 03:06 |
| subcool_ | escott, i didnt run it- u said to run things from the comp | 03:06 |
| Ansikt | Not just '/etc/sudoers' | 03:06 |
| escott | Ansikt, you could create partitions of the same size. and then mdadm between them. lvm is not really intended as a raid solution. its a partition virtualization tool | 03:06 |
| JustNull | shadykhan: Restart your windows manager? | 03:06 |
| shadykhan | justnull it stopped working when i started up steam :/ | 03:07 |
| Ansikt | escott: I'm also not trying to raid. I don't really care about fault tolerence. | 03:07 |
| subcool_ | Ansikt, sudo is busted | 03:07 |
| Ansikt | escott: I just want to glob them together | 03:07 |
| escott | Ansikt, so you might see somebody take a bunch of big disks, and put one big partition on each of them, and then run LVM on top of the resulting raid array. | 03:07 |
| Ansikt | subcool_: are you on ubuntu? | 03:07 |
| subcool_ | Ansikt, yes | 03:07 |
| escott | Ansikt, so you want JBOD? you can do JBOD with mdadm or with LVM | 03:07 |
| === Htbrdd is now known as zz_Htbrdd | ||
| Ansikt | escott: Yes, I do. Mdadm does JBOD? Which would you suggest? | 03:08 |
| Nicekiwi | hey.. ubuntu starts in low graphics mode.. help? | 03:08 |
| Ansikt | subcool_: restart and then do recovery mode/safestart. Then select "login as root" or "singleuser mode" or somesuch. | 03:08 |
| Skaperen | Nicekiwi: which video card and chip? | 03:09 |
| subcool_ | Ansikt, gotta be a lil more specific- sorry.. been a long time since i f'ed up linux like this | 03:09 |
| escott | Ansikt, im not too familiar with the pros and cons of JBOD options honestly | 03:09 |
| Nicekiwi | Skaperen: Nvidia 9600GT | 03:09 |
| subcool_ | Ansikt, is there a recovery in grub? | 03:09 |
| Skaperen | Nicekiwi: how new is that? | 03:09 |
| brian__ | tyt | 03:10 |
| Ansikt | escott: S'cool. But either way, I still have to get rid of the raid controllers, somehow. | 03:10 |
| Skaperen | Nicekiwi: are you using the nvidia driver or nouveau ? | 03:10 |
| fishbait | i tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958899 and still no net connection various info http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036551/ | 03:10 |
| Ansikt | subcool_: It has a console, but an awful one. After you let it boot in 'recovery mode', it should go to a selection of further options, all of which I think are outside GRUB. | 03:10 |
| wilee-nilee | subcool, what is your definition of a recovery, linux recovery is different then a windows recovery. | 03:11 |
| Nicekiwi | Skaperen: 2008, i belive nouveau. The install is very new. I havnt install Nvidia drivers | 03:11 |
| subcool_ | Ansikt, so-- i have to F8 to get there? | 03:11 |
| subcool_ | i have never gone to recovery mode.. | 03:11 |
| Skaperen | Nicekiwi: how does the LiveCD behave on that? | 03:11 |
| subcool_ | i think there is an option in grub... ;? | 03:11 |
| Skaperen | Nicekiwi: 12.04 LiveCD that is | 03:12 |
| Nicekiwi | Skaperen: i removed most Unity packages and installed Gnome-session-fallback. But now on boot before login I has low graphics mode, which dosent even work. On boot CD and Live Install works gr8. | 03:12 |
| Skaperen | Nicekiwi: maybe removed one you should not have :-( | 03:12 |
| sobersabre | hi. | 03:13 |
| Ansikt | No. At grub menu, move down to "Ubuntu Linux kernel x.x.xx (recovery mode)" or something | 03:13 |
| sobersabre | I'm installing ubuntu on a mac using "alternative" mac cd image. | 03:13 |
| Nicekiwi | Skaperen: maybe, i dont know what though.. :/ nothing serious was removed. Ive removed Unity before with no effects.. | 03:13 |
| sobersabre | I cannot install grub onto the "freebsd-ufs" ("bios_grub") partition. | 03:13 |
| Ansikt | It'll be the same as the entry you normally use, but with "(recovery mode)" tacked on at the end | 03:13 |
| fishbait | i tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958899 and still no net connection various info http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036551/ i should note it worked perfectly when connected to a non-Gigabit Ethernet router. | 03:13 |
| Skaperen | Nicekiwi: I've not tried removing Unity, yet ... I use Xubuntu and it doesn't need to have Unity removed | 03:14 |
| wilee-nilee | Nicekiwi, unity is on top of gnome removing is not a good idea to be honest, although some are going to do it anyway. You can get gnome only remixes. | 03:14 |
| sobersabre | that "freebsd-ufs" partition has 1MB big, and is located before my linux partitions. | 03:14 |

| wilee-nilee | Skaperen, I answer many threads so I don't remember exactly. | 03:18 |
| Skaperen | wilee-nilee: I saw other repo errors today, too ... seems to all be fixed now ... no idea what happened | 03:18 |
| fishbait | start with the simple stuff are they plugged in? | 03:18 |
| subcool_ | Ansikt, what else do i do- because once i reboot, all i have is my phone... | 03:18 |
| Skaperen | wilee-nilee: grub failed to install because one of the packages had a persistent checksum error | 03:18 |
| wilee-nilee | Skaperen, you had the messed up sources.list and you used the web link to make a new one right. | 03:18 |
| wilee-nilee | Skaperen, I woold need a link, but it sounds like you are fixed. | 03:19 |
| Skaperen | not the sources.list thing (didn't see that one) | 03:19 |
| BlueHighwind | hi | 03:19 |
| Ansikt | subcool_ Oh, alright. So, you can log in as your user, but you can't sudo to su? | 03:19 |

| Nicekiwi | How do I kill the X-server from console? | 03:20 |

| Skaperen | init 3 I thinkg ... I'm not going to test it on mine | 03:21 |
| escott | !runlevel | Skaperen | 03:21 |
| ubottu | Skaperen: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 03:21 |

| fishbait | its still debian based learn debian and you gain powerful knowledge | 03:22 |
| Skaperen | ubottu: then he'll need another way ... I guess that's why I didn't remember the runlevel :) | 03:22 |

| escott | Nicekiwi, 12.04 with ubuntu (not kubuntu or lubuntu or *ubuntu) and sudo service lightdm stop doesn't work? | 03:24 |

| oryc | ctrl+alt+f1 | 03:24 |
| oryc | ctrl+alt+f2 | 03:24 |

| escott | Nicekiwi, nozap has been set for a number of years | 03:24 |
| escott | !work | Nicekiwi | 03:24 |
| ubottu | Nicekiwi: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 03:24 |
| kobas | hiii | 03:24 |
| Skaperen | Ctrl+Alt+Backspace will kill the X server itself, but it should restart | 03:24 |
| wilee-nilee | !reisub | 03:24 |
| ubottu | In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 03:24 |
| wilee-nilee | Nicekiwi, read the bot ^^^^ | 03:25 |
| Ansikt | subcool.: Try just 'su', it should be there. | 03:25 |
| Nicekiwi | escott: Service: unknown instance <-- that is the output of 'sudo service lightdm stop' in ubuntu 12.04 | 03:25 |
| Skaperen | heh ... the almighty SysRq | 03:25 |
| escott | Nicekiwi, what display manager are you using? | 03:25 |
| Skaperen | if X died and you need to take the machine down nicely, that SysRq is your last hope | 03:26 |
| escott | Nicekiwi, what variant of ubuntu did you install? | 03:26 |
| subcool_ | Ansikt, ya,... wow- su works | 03:26 |

| fishbait | srry little bit vulgar by social standards. i tend not to view cusswords as cussing unles used in such a way | 03:28 |
| escott | Nicekiwi, what shows when you run ps aux | grep dm or ps aux | grep X | 03:28 |

| ubottu | Package/file tomcat.sh does not exist in precise | 03:56 |
| ekaj | Should be in the bin folder. | 03:56 |
| Jordan_U | sobersabre: What grub-install command are you using? Why do you say that the bios_grub partition is freebsd-ufs? The BIOS Boot Partition can't have any filesystem (unless you want said filesystem clobbered). | 03:57 |

| helloha | Dr_Willis: ? | 03:57 |
| ekaj | I'm trying to connect an IDE disk VIA USB to a computer with Ubuntu 12.04.. it should pick up the disk, right? | 03:57 |
| ekaj | FFS it's midnight... | 03:58 |
| PlowRox | ekaj> if ur usb is detecting it properly should show up in media..and then you can mount it | 03:59 |
| ekaj | Ah, it worked, I guess the USB port I tried didn't work | 03:59 |
| OerHeks | helloha, are you installing tomcat outside softwarecentre/synaptic? | 03:59 |
| helloha | DerHeks | 03:59 |
| helloha | OerHeks: | 03:59 |
| keepishop | Ok, hate to be a n00b, but now in recovery mode /etc seems readonly, though mount says / is rw. | 04:00 |
| helloha | help | 04:00 |
| PlowRox | tape it over...dont want to forget its bad :P | 04:00 |
| keepishop | What gives? | 04:00 |
| fishbait | okay srry for the slowness i'm transfering via usb key http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036605/ | 04:00 |
| Frood_ | Didn't get an answer in #ubuntu-server, so I'll ask here. I can't install anything via aptitude on my 12.04 server, giving me this: http://text.testwiki.org/1016/ | 04:00 |
| helloha | http://217.219.170.13/documents/10129/57497/web+servies+essentials.pdf page 62 | 04:00 |
| helloha | i use apt-get install | 04:00 |
| helloha | to install tomcat | 04:00 |
| helloha | i don't know where to locate jar files | 04:00 |
| subcool_ | escott, ok- so.. i know ankist was helping me.. but while he is out- what else do i check to see whats broken? it seems random programs are being dumb, like kded | 04:00 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm | 04:01 |
| helloha | OerHeks: ?? | 04:01 |
| helloha | u here? | 04:01 |
| Jordan_U | !details | keepishop | 04:01 |
| ubottu | keepishop: 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 ..." | 04:01 |
| fishbait | escott perchance have you run a scan for bad sectors on the hd | 04:01 |
| keepishop | I have a problem with /etc being read only in recovery mode. | 04:01 |
| keepishop | I want to edit rc.local | 04:02 |
| escott | subcool_, i havent been following what you were doing | 04:02 |
| ladweeba | is it possible to update a live ubuntu cd via internet? | 04:02 |
| fishbait | i'm no expert but when i hear random programs are being dumb my first thought is bad ram or bad hdd | 04:03 |
| Dr_Willis | ladweeba: not really. you can instgall packages. but any big updates would take up a lot of ram.. and any that require a reboot wouldent work | 04:03 |
| Jordan_U | keepishop: Try the template that ubottu suggested, "when I try to | 04:03 |
| fishbait | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036605/ my ifconfig -a results | 04:03 |
| ladweeba | ok | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis | keepishop: if / is read only, you need to remount it. or it could be some other perr needed to edit rc.local | 04:04 |
| ladweeba | so the best thing to do is just get a new livecd | 04:04 |
| keepishop | when I try to edit rc.local in recovery mode, vi says the file is read only. :x! does not work. | 04:04 |
| ladweeba | how does a livecd work with the internet? | 04:04 |
| keepishop | mount says that / is rw | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis | ladweeba: you can make a live-usb setup and do some updates to it.. but its not for long term type ussage | 04:04 |
| Nosophorus | i have a question | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis | keepishop: you are doing 'sudo vi ' ? | 04:05 |
| zein | Anyone here familiar with Launchpad and gpg keys? | 04:05 |
| ladweeba | thanks Dr_Willis | 04:05 |
| Nosophorus | would be reasonable to backup my files using this command: cp -ruvax ??? | 04:05 |
| keepishop | whoami says I'm root. screw sudo. | 04:05 |
| fishbait | do it anyway | 04:05 |
| fishbait | you just never know | 04:05 |
| fishbait | lol | 04:05 |
| escott | Nosophorus, rsync would be faster | 04:05 |
| Dr_Willis | try making a file in /etc/ as a test | 04:05 |
| ladweeba | so it looks like the partition is the best way to go then | 04:05 |
| Jordan_U | keepishop: Do you get any output from "sudo touch /etc/testfile"? | 04:05 |
| subcool_ | escott, we got sudo to work- thats all | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis | could be theres some fs issue so its remounting / as rw | 04:06 |
| keepishop | with sudo, it says it cannot open the file wor writing. I'm also unable to create new files in /etc | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis | err read only | 04:06 |
| notkevin | I have a MacBook Pro (MacBookPro5,4 if it matters) and the touchpad is too sensitive, almost to the point of not being usable. Anyone have any tips? I have been playing with synclient for a few days but I can't seem to find the right settings. I am having lots of accidental clicks and when I do try to click the pointer jumps around. | 04:06 |

| OerHeks | helloha, so why are you pointing to a pdf, howto find tomcat.sh and changing the issue to howto start a .jar? | 04:06 |
| keepishop | touch /etc/blahblah says read only filesystem | 04:06 |
| ladweeba | I should partition my hard drive and put ubuntu on one part of it and keep win7-64 bit on the one part | 04:06 |
| ladweeba | I want long-term usage | 04:06 |
| Jordan_U | keepishop: What about "sudo tough /tmp/testfile"? My guess is that the whole FS is read only. | 04:06 |
| keepishop | mount says it's a rw mount. mount -o remount,rw does nothing | 04:07 |
| Jordan_U | s/tough/touch/ | 04:07 |
| helloha | OerHeks: yes | 04:07 |
| Dr_Willis | ladweeba: you can do a full install to a usb flash drive - if you wanted to. | 04:07 |
| tking0037 | can someone help ... i just installed the broadcom wireless drivers they wont load and im getting this in /var/log/kern.log http://pastebin.com/i6Lj6pLz | 04:07 |
| OerHeks | helloha install tomcat-docs and use them wisely | 04:07 |
| Dr_Willis | keepishop: can you touch a file on / ? | 04:07 |
| fishbait | lad i would try 2 hardrive dual boots between 7 and ubuntu are tricky | 04:07 |
| orca_ | Is it possible that irssi chat client can consume bandwidth so much so, that it causes videos to frequently? | 04:07 |
| Jordan_U | keepishop: Is there any way that you could pastebin the output of "dmesg"? | 04:07 |
| keepishop | the / partition says it's read-only too | 04:07 |
| ladweeba | Dr_Willis, but I wouldn't be able to use it for long-term, that is, the usb flash drive? I want long term usage. | 04:08 |
| Jordan_U | keepishop: You probably have serious filesystem issues which need to be fixed via fsck before you can mount rw. | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | ladweeba: i have a full instggall to a 32gb flash that ive been using as a main system for several months | 04:08 |
| fishbait | what is eth0:avahi? | 04:08 |
| Jordan_U | keepishop: The output of "dmesg" would help confirm that. | 04:08 |
| keepishop | is there a ubuntu-minus-gui channel that would be more appropriate? This install is 10 minutes old and died on the first reboot. | 04:08 |
| keepishop | no errors in dmesg | 04:08 |
| keepishop | this is in virtualbox, btw | 04:09 |

| Nosophorus | escott: but can i do that what i told? | 04:09 |
| orca_ | Is it possible that irssi chat client can consume bandwidth so much so, that it causes videos to frequently? | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis | orca_: i would find that unlikely | 04:09 |
| fishbait | ... no its just irc | 04:09 |
| ladweeba | Dr_Willis, I'm confused. You said that a usb flash wouldn't give me long-term usage or did I misunderstand you. | 04:09 |
| escott | Nosophorus, if it does what you want sure | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ladweeba: a LIVE setupo to usb flash.. | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ladweeba: vs a FULL install | 04:09 |
| ladweeba | this is all new to me, Dr_Willis | 04:10 |
| Jordan_U | keepishop: Can you boot via a LiveCD and run fsck? | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | ladweeba: you can do a special live-setup on flash same as booting from a cd. + a save file. | 04:10 |
| ladweeba | so I will have to google so I can understand how I can setup to usb flash | 04:10 |
| fishbait | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036605/ someone asked me to paste ifconfig -a | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | ladweeba: or you can do a regular full install. same as you would to a normal hard drive | 04:10 |
| keepishop | Ok, I'm loading some other distro. ubuntu is not suitable for a virtual appliance. | 04:10 |
| * keepishop comes crawling back to debian | 04:11 | |
| Dr_Willis | keepishop: of your iso was bad. | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | or.. | 04:11 |
| keepishop | I added a bad daemon to rc.local. | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | but it all depends on your needs. | 04:11 |
| keepishop | That's the only issue. | 04:11 |
| keepishop | I just need to comment out one line. | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | id boot a live cd.. and fix the rc.local | 04:11 |
| keepishop | Should recovery mode be rw by default? | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | i rarely use recovery mode | 04:11 |
| keepishop | gah | 04:11 |
| ladweeba | I have to admit I like the idea of the 32 GB flash drive usage. | 04:11 |
| keepishop | I hate things that lie to me. | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | i thinkr ecovery is ro - so you an do fscking. theres a menu item in its settings to go to rw | 04:12 |
| keepishop | but... mount says rw. | 04:12 |
| ladweeba | I just want to make sure I can use this with my present cable internet and use the software that I want like kxstudio, gimp, etc. | 04:12 |
| keepishop | If ubuntu has some layer that ignores /proc.... that's bad. | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | i would have booted a live cd and fixed rc.local allready by now... | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | i have to wonder wehat is in rc.local that keeps the system from booting.. its the last service to start. | 04:13 |
| keepishop | namecoind | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | so everything else should be going,. | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | including the login: consoles | 04:14 |
| Jordan_U | keepishop: Ubuntu has no "layer that ignores /proc". | 04:14 |
| keepishop | Nice to hear. | 04:14 |
| keepishop | Anyway. Someone ask me some apache or nginx questions so I can feel useful. | 04:14 |
| fishbait | i'm running ubuntu 12.04 recent install i tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958899 and still no net connection various info http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036551/ i should note it worked perfectly when connected to a non-Gigabit Ethernet router. a stock befsr81 to be exact but thats the router that is my modem equivalent not the router that manages my network i issue sudo ifconfig up eth0 and it says eth0: Unkomy if config -a | 04:15 |
| fishbait | *eth0:unknow host | 04:15 |
| Jordan_U | keepishop: Speaking of /proc though, what does "cat /proc/mounts" say about your root filesystem? mount gets its information from /etc/mtab, which can't be updated on a read only FS. | 04:15 |
| keepishop | Jordan_U: I'm waiting for a live cd to spin its gears. | 04:16 |
| fishbait | okay i have net but no dns a little more help. | 04:17 |
| keepishop | fishbait: When you plug in the cable while hot, dmesg should say if the link was negotiated at 100mb of gbit. | 04:18 |
| keepishop | If you have no dns, echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 >> /etc/resolv.cong | 04:18 |
| keepishop | *resolv.conf | 04:18 |
| notkevin | tips? I have been playing with synclient for a few days but I can't seem to find the right settings. I am having lots of accidental clicks and when I do try to click the pointer jumps around. | 04:18 |
| fishbait | i was able to ping and access my router. | 04:18 |
| fishbait | but still can't get to or ping google | 04:18 |

| L3top | keepishop: you can just mount -o rw,remount / | 04:19 |
| === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk | ||
| Jordan_U | keepishop: Did you do an md5sum check on the iso image? | 04:20 |
| keepishop | L3top: That failed silently | 04:20 |
| fishbait | what option do i add in /etc/network/interfaces to perma set 100baseTx-fd | 04:22 |
| escott | keepishop, failing and silently seldom go together | 04:22 |
| keepishop | And the live cd cannot see my root. Uhg. It's pwnd. | 04:23 |
| fishbait | auto negotiation off of course | 04:23 |
| Jordan_U | keepishop: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? | 04:23 |
| keepishop | No cut and paste | 04:24 |
| keepishop | Cant use guest additions. | 04:24 |
| Jordan_U | keepishop: You should be able to use pastebinit from within the VM. | 04:24 |
| Jordan_U | !pastebinit | keepishop | 04:24 |
| ubottu | keepishop: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 04:24 |
| keepishop | waiting for parted -l | 04:25 |
| keepishop | thank you all sincerely for your help. I'm going to switch to a distro more appropriate for my needs. | 04:26 |
| keepishop | I don't think I'll be able to hit my 200MB target with ubuntu anyway. | 04:27 |
| Dr_Willis | 200mb? :) tiny core linux = 35mb for a full install | 04:30 |
| helloha | Dr_Willis: how to install java and jvm? | 04:32 |
| helloha | help | 04:32 |
| Dr_Willis | i just use the open sourced java from the repos. or follow the !java wiki | 04:33 |
| Dr_Willis | !java | 04:33 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 04:33 |
| Dr_Willis | thers some unofficial ppas for installing java also. mentioned at some blog sites | 04:33 |

| sainy | thanks | 04:46 |
| Dr_Willis | sainy: not sure how to say 'use the gparteed program from a live cd' any more clerly.. | 04:46 |
| Dr_Willis | boot the cd.. run gparted.. reize stuff. | 04:47 |
| ladweeba | you mean resize stuff, Dr_Willis? | 04:47 |
| escott | sainy, boot the install cd. select "try ubuntu first." start gparted. then you can resize partitions | 04:47 |
| ladweeba | ahhh there it is from escott | 04:47 |
| ladweeba | no misspells | 04:48 |
| ladweeba | the misspells can sometimes throw you off | 04:48 |
| Dr_Willis | worse is the auto-correction on the phone.. | 04:48 |
| ladweeba | I know | 04:48 |
| Dr_Willis | especially when it tries to convert bash commands into other words.. | 04:49 |
| Dr_Willis | sainy: be sure to make backups beofr you resize things | 04:51 |
| fishbait | no luck added my dns servers to resolv.conf still ping -c 6 www.google.com returns unknown host | 04:51 |
| Dr_Willis | fishbait: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? | 04:51 |
| Ben64 | fishbait: did you put "nameserver <dns server ip>" | 04:51 |
| fishbait | yes i can ping 8.8.8.8 but it all return destination host unreachable and yes i put namserver before them | 04:52 |
| Ben64 | well if you can't ping ip then you have no internet connection at all | 04:53 |
| fishbait | however i can ping my router | 04:53 |
| fishbait | at 192.168.100.100 | 04:53 |
| Ben64 | then you have no NAT | 04:54 |
| Ben64 | do... "sudo route add default gw 192.168.100.100 <your ethernet device, such as eth0 or eth1>" | 04:55 |

| ActionParsnip | fishbait_: are you using static iP? | 05:26 |
| fishbait_ | yes | 05:26 |

| fishbait_ | hmm okay i'll try it again | 05:27 |
| fishbait_ | btw can i have 3 dns instead of 2 or will that error it/ | 05:27 |
| blackshirt | hashset: that was special group (sudoers) that has access to system administration instead using root regularly | 05:28 |
| ActionParsnip | fishbait_: the maximum is 3, they will be used in the order they appear in the file (top to bottom) | 05:28 |
| fishbait_ | okay | 05:28 |

| fishbait_ | i'm using conmdo filtered dns but the 3rd one is a google dns just in case | 05:29 |
| Cale | Anyone happen to know why X would die if I kill my WM? Metacity has an annoying habit of freezing, and when I kill it, all my other applications die, which is pretty dumb. I'm on 11.04. | 05:29 |
| ActionParsnip | tking0036: there is no outright better, you can install the desktops and try them, see what you think | 05:29 |
| tking0036 | I wish they would let me have my gnome 2 back... | 05:30 |
| Cale | tking0036: seriously | 05:30 |
| Dr_Willis | gnome2 is dead.. ;) time to move on | 05:30 |
| tking0036 | im going to use lxde i think... its pretty similar to what i am used to | 05:30 |
| fishbait_ | is there a way to put the bar on bottom instead of left? | 05:30 |
| ActionParsnip | tking0036: there are unofficial ports which aren't supported here, or you can install gnome-panel and use that as your shell instead of Unity | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | tking0036: xfce has the gnome2 smell | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | thers some hacks for unity to put its launcher on the bottom. but they are not supported here.. and were buggy last i looked into them | 05:31 |
| tking0036 | ok.. ill take a look at xfce | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | for old skool look - lubuntu, or xubuntu,. :) | 05:31 |
| Cale | tking0036: I think in recent years, UI designers have all gotten bored with their jobs and decided to start just randomly changing shit for no apparent reason. Also, they seem to be assuming that *everyone* is on a tablet PC. | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | fishbait_: there is a PPA which is known to break things which will move it to the bottom. OMGUbuntu has a howto for it | 05:31 |
| tking0036 | thats what i think | 05:31 |
| Cale | and has nothing better to click on things with than their stubby fingers | 05:32 |

| Dr_Willis | Cale: they have allways don stuff just because gthey could. | 05:32 |
| ActionParsnip | tking0036: yes | 05:32 |
| fishbait_ | hmm does another gui have a bar? | 05:32 |
| ActionParsnip | fishbait_: look into xfce, you'll probably find it fits the bill | 05:32 |
| fishbait_ | okay. | 05:32 |
| tking0036 | can i get the 3.20 kernel on ubuntu 10.04 | 05:32 |
| ActionParsnip | fishbait_: an image search will show you te score | 05:32 |
| Zero01 | what are you talking about? | 05:33 |
| ActionParsnip | tking0036: its not supported in Lucid. It has a different kernel. | 05:33 |
| Cale | tking0036: Yeah, if you compile it yourself | 05:33 |
| tking0036 | my laptop has the intel hd 3000 graphics and i think they are better supported under the newer kernel | 05:33 |
| Dr_Willis | trensplanting a 3.2 kernel into 10.04 - is a bit of a task from what ive seen/heard from others in here who have tried | 05:33 |
| err_or | tking0036, you gan get 3.0.0-20 | 05:34 |
| Dr_Willis | best to just upgrade the whole os | 05:34 |
| tking0036 | thats what i assumed | 05:34 |
| Dr_Willis | newer video card.. newer drivers.. need newer X.. needs newer kernel... | 05:34 |
| fishbait_ | for some reason resolv.conf won't hold changes across boots. any other ideas? | 05:35 |
| ActionParsnip | fishbait_: are any of your interfaces using DHCP? | 05:35 |
| fishbait_ | not according to etc network interfaces it loopback static static | 05:35 |
| Cale | ugh, these processes aren't children of metacity, I don't understand why they'd be killed when I kill it | 05:36 |
| Cale | It's like gnome-session or gdm or something sees that the window manager has died and rather than restarting the WM, it kills everything. | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | metacity --replace kills them? | 05:37 |
| Cale | (and sends me back to a login screen after a delay) | 05:37 |
| fishbait_ | on another note it won't conifgure network during boot it always waits 60 seconds related/ | 05:37 |
| Cale | metacity --replace won't work if the running metacity is frozen | 05:38 |
| Cale | I have to kill it, and as soon as there's no WM, it drops all my running programs on the floor | 05:38 |

| Adonis | can anyon help with install error it says "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. when im trying to do clean install on my pc without another os | 05:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Adonis: is your ubuntu drive /dev/sda ? | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | i had the instgaller fail to insgtall grub.. but i ran the insggtaller-grub commands and it then installed... sen anotehr box. i had to reboot the live cd. then fixed grub. | 05:44 |
| Adonis | nope, i just checked it then | 05:45 |
| ActionParsnip | CarlFK: if you make a fresh ubuntu user, is it the same? | 05:45 |
| Dr_Willis | i think i mayhave confused the insteller/os with some major repartitioning | 05:45 |
| fishbait_ | rebooting now time to test it | 05:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Adonis: that's why then, isn't it | 05:45 |
| Adonis | i think so, ive tried the other partitions but it doesnt seem to work on them either | 05:45 |
| Dr_Willis | ive also seen BIOS 'anti virus' protection mess with grub | 05:46 |
| twoolie | Does anyone know why NFS would be squashing UIDs when no_all_squash,no_root_squash are set? | 05:46 |
| fishbait_ | why am i getting waiting for network configuration during boot? | 05:46 |
| Adonis | is it best to let ubuntu select you partitioning for you? | 05:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Adonis: depends on your needsand skill level. | 05:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Adonis: if it suits your needs, yes | 05:46 |
| Dr_Willis | i got linux on its own second hard drive. so i do it by hand | 05:47 |
| Adonis | it just finished install and now its restarted and just stalled at blank screen with blinking curser | 05:47 |

| tjpoe | anyone familiar with a "flip queue failed" error? | 05:48 |
| tjpoe | seems to be related to Intel chipset GM45 | 05:48 |
| tjpoe | some research has indicated that I can fix it by disabling page flipping, does anyone know how/where I can do that? | 05:48 |
| tking0036 | probably in xorg.conf | 05:48 |
| Dr_Willis | !nomodeset | Adonis | 05:49 |
| ubottu | Adonis: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 05:49 |

| tking0036 | tjpoe: this guy hacked xorg-server so it disables page flipping | 05:50 |
| iceroot | slikts: whatch your language | 05:50 |
| fishbait_ | why am i getting waiting for netowrk configuration during boot? | 05:51 |
| iceroot | fishbait_: because you have a networkconfig in /etc/network/interfaces which cant be started at boot (mostly wifi) | 05:51 |
| fishbait_ | @iceroot i'm on static ip on a wired interface | 05:52 |
| iceroot | fishbait_: maybe the interface is not up at that time | 05:52 |
| slikts | it's just negligence, chromium has exploits… | 05:52 |
| fishbait_ | hmm maybe | 05:52 |
| iceroot | fishbait_: if you are using a gui, try to remove the config from that file and use networkmanager instead | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | slikts: so do many other apps... | 05:53 |
| iceroot | slikts: have a look at the changelog if the fixes are backported | 05:53 |
| tking0036 | slikts: just compile the new version yourself | 05:53 |
| blackshirt | is possible to use command line network manager ? | 05:53 |
| ActionParsnip | blackshirt: sure, wicd-curses is fantastic | 05:53 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: so that's an excuse to have an outdated version? wtf! | 05:53 |
| tking0036 | slikts: trolling on irc isnt going to accomplish anything | 05:53 |

| ActionParsnip | slikts: ranting in here does less than zero | 05:54 |
| iceroot | slikts: ubuntu is backporting security updates so you dont have to do a major update mostly | 05:54 |
| blackshirt | jagginess: what packages provides it ? | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | blackshirt: last I checked, wicd doesn't like 3G but it may have changed | 05:54 |
| Adonis | shouldnt grub install on same partition as ubuntu? | 05:54 |
| jagginess | blackshirt, i'm not sure if settigns can be made with it.. it's there by default | 05:54 |

| Adonis | every time i try it brings up error.... | 05:54 |
| blackshirt | jaggines: what packages provide nmcli ? | 05:55 |
| ActionParsnip | blackshirt: there is nm-cli too buti've not used it | 05:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Adonis: on the same mbr/drive.. you mean. you normally put grub on sda, not sda1 for example | 05:55 |

| ActionParsnip | slikts: the command list I gave should help | 05:56 |
| blackshirt | ActionParsnip: yes, 3G GSM network | 05:56 |
| iceroot | slikts: try to rerun | 05:56 |
| slikts | I did | 05:56 |
| ActionParsnip | blackshirt: I'm not sure wicd can use 3G, check their site | 05:56 |
| slikts | same error | 05:56 |
| Adonis | if i use live cd how do i intall grub to main ubuntu partition apt-get install grub? | 05:56 |
| jagginess | blackshirt, i think it's textual edit of configuration in plain cli.. those nm* commands looks like it doesnt set the config.. -- if you want to set the config it's either textual edit or it can be done with cli apps i think(somebody mentioned wicd ..) | 05:56 |
| ActionParsnip | slikts: whom are you addressing??? | 05:56 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: what is that script? | 05:56 |

| iceroot | fishbait_: dont but dns there | 05:58 |
| blackshirt | ActionParsnip: i think wicd doesn't support 3g | 05:58 |
| ActionParsnip | blackshirt: then try nm-cli | 05:58 |

| slikts | ActionParsnip: the real question is why is it suddenly necessary… but thanks | 06:01 |
| Adonis | is that a prob? | 06:01 |
| jagginess | Adonis, you should use no less than grub2 | 06:01 |

| jagginess | Adonis, raid is an advanced topic, it's support isn't available with the desktop iso, but rather the server iso.. | 06:02 |

| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: the android remote control app is pretty sweet too | 06:19 |

| tjpoe | i used to try the android and iOS xbmc remotes, until i bought the FLIRC. greatest things since sliced bread. love that little gadget | 06:20 |
| dandaman1 | whats the best torrent client for ubuntu in your guyses opinion? | 06:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: I use vlc + remote control on android, much faster than XBMC flicking through menus imho | 06:20 |
| ActionParsnip | dandaman1: transmission here | 06:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip: plex server is streaming to my android. :) im not using it as a remote | 06:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: gotcha | 06:20 |
| fishbait_ | thats likle ford vs chevy if u know what i mean | 06:21 |
| gts | hi how can i join in | 06:21 |
| Dr_Willis | of course the plex server is also basically a headless xbmc 'server' | 06:21 |
| dandaman1 | ActionParsnip: are you sure you werent lazy to look around | 06:21 |
| ActionParsnip | dandaman1: there is a client for it on android so I can add, remove and manage my torrents from my phone. | 06:21 |
| ActionParsnip | dandaman1: so I use it :) | 06:21 |
| tjpoe | any other way to "disable page flipping" seems like the problem exists even in the newest version of Ubuntu. | 06:21 |

| fishbait_ | yeah the goal was to make it read only but in doing so it basically train wrecked my r8168 ethernet | 06:26 |

| ActionParsnip | L3top: its a symlink though which is why its 777 | 06:26 |
| L3top | that is weird... and probably a bad idea Dr_Willis | 06:26 |
| L3top | ohhhhhhh | 06:26 |
| ActionParsnip | :D | 06:26 |
| Dr_Willis | that mey be why. but it dosent look like a link here.. | 06:26 |

| Dr_Willis | Arccchy: a script to do whatt? | 06:30 |
| L3top | oh sorry... that was lucid... you are, of course, correct ActionParsnip. | 06:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Arccchy: does it need root access and does it need X to be running? | 06:30 |
| ActionParsnip | L3top: its rare ;) | 06:30 |
| gts | some one here is connecting ar nuc | 06:30 |
| gts | don't say i did worn u | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | fishbait_: you could of course delete the link and make resolv.conf be a file | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | gts: do you have a support issue? | 06:31 |
| Arccchy | ActionParsnip well I have a basic file with the commands to start, no shebang or anything just the commands. all the program's can't be started as root or it would cause a security risk | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Arccchy: add it with the shebang, then run the startup manager and tell it to run the script | 06:32 |
| gts | ok | 06:32 |
| Arccchy | is there a startup manager in ubuntu server actionparsnip? | 06:32 |
| gts | hi gwen | 06:32 |
| gogeta | Arccchy: wouldent you just add it to rc.d | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Arccchy: ahhh then you can use su to run the command as a user in /etc/rc.local | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Arccchy: in future, please state you are using server, or we will assume desktop | 06:33 |
| Arccchy | this chat says "@ ubuntu servers" | 06:34 |

| fishbait_ | whats the defaul chmod for /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf | 06:35 |
| fishbait_ | whats the default chmod for /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf | 06:35 |
| gogeta | Arccchy: we do desktops as well | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | fishbait_: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172 Jun 12 04:50 /run/resolvconf/resolv.con | 06:35 |
| fishbait_ | so 172 then? | 06:36 |
| Arccchy | oh | 06:36 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm. i dont have that /run/ file. i must have done somthing weird with my networking in the past | 06:36 |
| Arccchy | so all I do is add it to the rc.local? | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Arccchy: the only mention of 'server' in the motd is that hardy is only supported on the server now, there is #ubuntu-server but most of the time folks will be using desktop | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | fishbait_: 644 | 06:37 |
| WindBuntu | is there a specific ubuntu netbook release? | 06:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Arccchy: put the commands in a script. run the script as a user, from rc.local is one way | 06:37 |
| ActionParsnip | fishbait_: r=4, w=2, x=1 | 06:37 |
| Dr_Willis | WindBuntu: not any more | 06:37 |

| iulian_ | my wi-fi device won't turn on at all (from network settings) | 06:54 |

| ActionParsnip | iulian_: which wifi chip do you use? | 06:55 |

| gts | i don't follow | 06:56 |
| ActionParsnip | gts: when you are asked for a password, use the one you log in with | 06:57 |
| phantome | gts if you mean that you are trying to login as root and cannot do that | 06:57 |

| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 07:04 |
| Guest17166 | /etc/rc.local issue here myself... doesn't run the commands on boot (yes, it's executable, and runs fine if I run it within Ubuntu. | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | gts: there is no single admin password, there are the users in the 'admin'group whom can use sudo to run admin commands, you use your own password | 07:05 |

| ActionParsnip | iulian_: do you have a shotcut to enable / disable wifi? | 07:19 |
| ActionParsnip | iulian_: does the system have a make and model? | 07:20 |

| fishbait_ | i did the switchmod12.04 to get my r8168b rev03 nic to work | 07:20 |

| iulian_ | ActionParsnip, how to do that? | 07:27 |

| xGrub11 | thanks before | 07:28 |
| ActionParsnip | iulian_: in your lshw output, read the bottom bit and it will say driver=something what is the driver name? | 07:28 |

| MonkeyDust | error4o4 it's in ~/.ssh/known_hosts | 07:31 |
| raintheory | llutz_ : I added a bash script to the ~/.config/autostart folder containing the commnds and it worked like a charm! Thanks! | 07:31 |

| xGrub11 | but i wanna try the different one if it exist... | 07:32 |
| llutz_ | BigVooDooDaddy: read about "Match" in man sshd_config | 07:32 |
| Sidvee | How can I view the value of http_proxy? | 07:32 |

| ActionParsnip | kapz: how is that an Ubuntu support issue? | 07:34 |
| kapz | odf files ... openopffice/libreoffice format also, <kapz> ActionParsnip, yeah but this was last resort...also I thought many ubuntu users will have knowledge about libreoffice and android | 07:34 |
| gogeta | smw-tab: you need a vnc for that | 07:35 |
| smw-tab | ActionParsnip: interesting. It looks like it is mounted read only | 07:35 |
| ActionParsnip | kapz: its still offtopic here as I stated, the rest of your statement is mooted by that simple fact | 07:35 |
| llutz_ | BigVooDooDaddy: add soemthing like "Match thatbaduser \n PubkeyAuthentication no" | 07:35 |
| MonkeyDust | raintheory apparently it's an audio tool or something, try asking in #ubuntu-studio | 07:35 |
| kapz | Again THANKS! | 07:35 |
| L3top | fishbait_: Very interesting. I do not know how it is being generated blank if it can see it... My guess is that it is not live until afterwords... that is one of the weirdos. Can you follow those steps in that link AGAIN to try and get your nic recognized at the onset? You can also add: KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" to the end of the file you moved to documents, and move it back... | 07:35 |
| ActionParsnip | kapz: its massively simple | 07:35 |
| kapz | Yeah right.. | 07:35 |
| raintheory | MonkeyDust: thx | 07:35 |
| MonkeyDust | raintheory correction : apparently it's an audio tool or something, try asking in #ubuntustudio | 07:35 |
| Sidvee | where to find bashrc? | 07:36 |
| fishbait_ | okay reinstall it is | 07:36 |

| iulian_ | ActionParsnip, what do you think can be the problem about my wi-fi? nothing workek so far, and I had the same unsolved problem with my previous version of Ubuntu. I hate that I have to stick with windows because of that :( | 07:38 |
| ActionParsnip | iulian_: not sure, are there bugs reported for the chip? | 07:39 |

| ubottu | Ormie: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".

| ActionParsnip | Ormie: unity isn't a desktop environment | 07:41 |
| L3top | Well fishbait_ it is really nice when hw manufacturers write drivers for you, rather than having to reverse engineer and write your own against closed source, esp on hw that causes conflicts with other stuff. It isn't like windows did anything special. | 07:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Ormie: its a shell, if you install gnome-panel and log off then log in to the classic desktop it will look more familiar, alternatives also include (but are not limited to) kde,xfce, lxde and so on... | 07:42 |

| gartral | hey all, I want too remove pulseaudio. but it wants too remove ubuntu-desktop.. Is this safe? | 07:51 |
| fishbait_ | no! | 07:51 |
| gartral | didn't think so. | 07:51 |
| smw-tab | Sure. As long as it does not want to remove 300 things | 07:51 |
| gartral | so how do I safely kill pulse, I need JACK for a project and it needs access too alsa.. | 07:52 |
| smw-tab | gartral: you can remove it | 07:52 |
| fishbait_ | it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop | 07:52 |
| smw-tab | gartral: assuming it is not asking to remove everything;-) | 07:53 |
| gartral | smw-tab: won't is say that it wants too remove said 300 things via apt-get autoremove? | 07:53 |
| ladweeba | okay so I looked it up and found that it's a windows ubuntu installer | 07:53 |
| smw-tab | fishbait_: is that a problem? | 07:53 |
| L3top | smw-tab: I thought you said you were able to get to recovery console | 07:53 |
| L3top | Is removing the desktop a problem? | 07:53 |
| smw-tab | L3top: using a live CD | 07:53 |
| fishbait_ | depends is ubuntu-desktop the gui like i think it is from the name? | 07:53 |
| L3top | ah... | 07:53 |
| smw-tab | fishbait_: no, it is a Meta package with everything in a default Ubuntu install | 07:54 |

| Dr_Willis | echo083: update-grub reads those and generates the grub.cfg | 08:04 |
| llutz_ | error4o4: yes, but makes no sense. i'd just set PubkeyAuthentication Yes as default | 08:04 |

| echo083 | Dr_Willis, how to generate them again i find change of mind ? | 08:04 |
| Dr_Willis | depends on which entry.. make backups of what you change. | 08:05 |
| error4o4 | llutz_: I was looking into disabling it for everyone by default but enable it for users that are in certain group, so I can control it better | 08:05 |
| llutz_ | error4o4: ahem, sry i guess i misread you | 08:05 |
| echo083 | Dr_Willis, i'll edit the the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file ... thus if i made a mistake i'll just have to do a grub-update to restore everything | 08:05 |
| peay | actionparsnip:everything seems to be much faster | 08:06 |
| Dr_Willis | echo083: untill the kernel updates and overwrites that file without you noticeing... | 08:06 |

| DrRobotto | Hi guys | 08:07 |
| bazhang | didi, sure it is | 08:07 |
| didi | bazhang: Nice! | 08:07 |
| Dr_Willis | echo083: you edit the proper config files. You dont edit grub.cfg thatgs how | 08:07 |
| bazhang | !notunity | didi | 08:07 |
| ubottu | didi: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 08:07 |
| DrRobotto | Is there any possibility to change the print in file default settings in the document viewer? | 08:07 |
| llutz_ | error4o4: i just prefer to set the default as restrictive as possible and then "open" it for special cases. but both ways will work | 08:07 |
| didi | bazhang: Where can I read about how to do it? | 08:08 |
| echo083 | Dr_Willis, but files in the /etc/grub.d folder are nasty bash files i don't know how to customize the output | 08:08 |
| bazhang | didi, #ubuntuone may know | 08:08 |
| didi | bazhang: Thank you. | 08:08 |
| Dr_Willis | echo083: then i suggeest you leave them alone. and leave grub alone. i guess.. | 08:08 |
| error4o4 | llutz_: as I can see the default enables ssh pub keys for everyone, thats i want it for a special froup, to control it better | 08:08 |
| echo083 | Dr_Willis, i'll edit grub.cfg and save it if the kernel change it i'll just have to replace it with my own :) | 08:09 |
| Dr_Willis | echo083: you would be better ude of your time reading the grub docs the bot gave you | 08:09 |
| echo083 | Dr_Willis, i don't care it is boring !! they should have made something more usable | 08:10 |
| llutz_ | error4o4: just make sure you dont allow passwordlogin for all | 08:10 |
| echo083 | Dr_Willis, :p | 08:10 |
| ladweeba | is it better to create a linux partition, that is a dual boot or install the entire linux over the windows vista. | 08:10 |
| Dr_Willis | echo083: whatever. | 08:10 |
| peay | actionparsnip:will I have to change that everytime i log on? | 08:10 |
| ladweeba | I already have windows 7 on another machine | 08:10 |
| echo083 | Dr_Willis, i read the documentation for lilo but they said blablabla it will be replaced with grub | 08:10 |
| error4o4 | llutz_: ok | 08:11 |
| Dr_Willis | echo083: so? Lilo was replaced by grub.. and grub2 has repled grub.. syslinux and isolinux are alterantives to grub2 also.. | 08:11 |
| echo083 | Dr_Willis, now there is grub2 ... and why not a grub3 i'll have to read the fucking manual each time i want to customize my boot menu | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | peay: the last session is remembered | 08:11 |
| * Dr_Willis has learned them all | 08:11 | |
| ladweeba | I would like a system with just nothing but linux on it but I'm a newb to linux so not sure how I should start out...I hear ubuntu is perfect for folks migrating from windows to linux. | 08:11 |
| peay | actionparsnip:awesome thank you | 08:11 |
| echo083 | Dr_Willis, syslinux and isolinux ... you will tell me i have to read the manual again ? | 08:12 |
| Dr_Willis | echo083: you havent bothered to read much of anything yet as far as i can tell. have a nice day | 08:12 |
| ActionParsnip | peay: np man | 08:12 |
| echo083 | Dr_Willis, no i really read lilo manual !! at ages | 08:12 |

| TransitTycoon | Trying to get "Record my desktop" to record both internal audio, and my Mic. I tried routing my mic so now it plays on my speaker, but "Record my desktop" does not pick it up. Any ideas? (I don't want to run a seperate audio record because of editing issues | 08:15 |
| echo083 | bazhang, ????? | 08:16 |
| bazhang | echo083, yes? | 08:16 |
| echo083 | bazhang, you said no bad language i'm still waiting about what ?? | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | TransitTycoon: what apps have you tried? | 08:17 |
| bazhang | TransitTycoon, what others have you tried. kazam is worth a look | 08:17 |
| echo083 | bazhang, did you try to talk to someone else ? | 08:17 |
| MonkeyDust | <3 kazam | 08:17 |
| TransitTycoon | bazhang: ActionParsnip: both have terrible performance, trying to do a screencast with a heavy cpu app | 08:17 |
| bazhang | echo083, no. you used some foul language earlier. lets move on | 08:18 |
| ActionParsnip | TransitTycoon: both what? I can name about 5 screencast apps..... | 08:18 |
| echo083 | bazhang, i don't exactly see what you are talking about but ok :) | 08:19 |
| TransitTycoon | ActionParsnip: bazhang: Ive tried all of them, and besides, my problem is different. These programs can either record internal audio, or my mic picking up the internal audio. I want it to record the internal audio, because my mic is rubbish | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | TransitTycoon: tried Eidete? | 08:19 |
| TransitTycoon | ActionParsnip: *Facepalm* ; my recorder is not the problem. Audio routing is. | 08:20 |
| ActionParsnip | TransitTycoon: or Tibesti? | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !info eidete | 08:20 |
| ubottu | Package eidete does not exist in precise | 08:20 |

| ruslan_osmanov | hi. what happened with https://one.ununtu.com/notes? It doesn't work for me anymore. | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip: what? an artical thatgs not about a new icon theme? ;P | 08:20 |
| ActionParsnip | TransitTycoon: have you set the correct mic as the input device? | 08:21 |
| TransitTycoon | ActionParsnip: Unless (I don't recall) you can show me a recorder that records a Mic stream and an internal audio stream simeataneously. | 08:21 |
| ActionParsnip | TransitTycoon: not something I do, I am only aware of some of the available apps | 08:21 |
| daze | There is an application icon in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/whatever.svg. I put a modified icon in ~/.icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/whatever.svg. Should my new Icon override the original (for the current user)? how does the icon resolver and hierarchy work? any links to read on? (Ubuntu 12, Gnome, Unity) :) | 08:21 |
| TransitTycoon | ActionParsnip: ? My mic works, and I can get it to play on the speakers. | 08:21 |
| TransitTycoon | ActionParsnip: But I what I really want, is for my mic input to be recognized as internal audio. | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | TransitTycoon: so a 'record what I hear' situation? | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | TransitTycoon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJO5rHI6akM may help | 08:23 |
| TransitTycoon | ActionParsnip: Yah, sort of. Internal audio would be any sound that plays on your computer. | 08:24 |
| TransitTycoon | hmm | 08:24 |
| ActionParsnip | TransitTycoon: could even message the author of the vid for some tips :) | 08:24 |
| Dr_Willis | i never can get 'recordmydesktop' to save teh sound im hearing. got it working once.. and was never able to do it again. ;) | 08:24 |
| TransitTycoon | ActionParsnip: I don't think you understand my question | 08:24 |
| MonkeyDust | Dr_Willis kazam doesnt record sound either | 08:25 |
| TransitTycoon | ActionParsnip: I know how to do that already. | 08:25 |
| Dr_Willis | MonkeyDust: well.. baked beans! ;( | 08:25 |
| TransitTycoon | ActionParsnip: But, here is the issue; record what you hear does not apply to you hearing your own microphone ~ | 08:25 |
| L3top | TransitTycoon: I do not believe alsa can record both at the same time. I am not familiar with .25, but I know it has been an issue for a long time. Let me see if I can find you a link. | 08:26 |
| TransitTycoon | L3top: hmmm, so you are aware of this? IE, internal Audio and Mic not being able to be recorded by one device? | 08:27 |
| L3top | eg you can only record one input device at a time... (your output becomes an input in this case as well as your mic) | 08:27 |
| L3top | TransitTycoon: do you have pulse installed? | 08:29 |
| L3top | As memory serves... it sort of came to be to address this issue... | 08:29 |
| TransitTycoon | L3top: Interesting, and there is no way to transfer the input back to "output"? As said, I got my mic to play over my speakers along with a youtube video, but when I recorded, the recording software (altered to pick up internal audio) only picked up youtube. | 08:29 |
| TransitTycoon | L3top: Yah, its a pretty fresh ubuntu install | 08:29 |
| L3top | I believe pulse is the solution... look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1687396 | 08:30 |

| Dr_Willis | i want to be able to talk into my mic. and sound like Mikey Mouse over skype calls... ;) | 08:35 |
| TransitTycoon | Dr_Willis: Why does Jack exist when I have never had any luck getting it to work without a headache? | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | i was able to do that years ago with my windows box and creative s. | 08:36 |
| TransitTycoon | lol | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | TransitTycoon: i got it working once.. to reccord 'what i hear' with gtkrecordmydesktop.. worked well.. but the next day. icouldent repeate teh feat. | 08:36 |
| TransitTycoon | Dr_Willis: Well I already got that far; it was easy | 08:37 |
| TransitTycoon | err | 08:37 |

| === finnzi- is now known as finnzi | ||
| Dr_Willis | TransitTycoon: write a guide on how ya dide it. I never can get it working again | 08:37 |
| TransitTycoon | except, "Record what I hear" didnt include me hearing my mic | 08:37 |
| TransitTycoon | Dr_Willis: download pulseaudio-volume control | 08:38 |
| Dr_Willis | had to have specific apps running.. and recording for the controls to even show up in the pulse control box's was the issue i had i beliuve | 08:38 |
| TransitTycoon | Dr_Willis: And go to record tab | 08:38 |
| TransitTycoon | Yah | 08:38 |
| Dr_Willis | so i think i had to start the app recording. then paused it.. then messed with the pavcongrol app... and then.. well.. it got confused | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | and i got confused ;) | 08:39 |
| TransitTycoon | well when you start recording, it pops up in the volume control, and you just set it to "monitor of built in blah blah blah" | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | then i was playing with jackd also at the same time following some other guides | 08:40 |
| TransitTycoon | ... that probably did it | 08:40 |
| TransitTycoon | I could never get rosegarden working reliably :( | 08:40 |
| Dr_Willis | but ive not tried this task again in 12.04 | 08:40 |
| MonkeyDust | TransitTycoon technically, a rosegarden question is for this channel, but i guess #ubuntustudio is more suited | 08:42 |
| TransitTycoon | MonkeyDust: It was the issue a few years back, anyways... brb | 08:43 |

| smw | ActionParsnip, I managed to look up the url for super grub disk online, chroot into my system using the restore disk I had, wget it, burn it (taking out the disk it was booting off of), and then booting with grub2 | 08:44 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, I still have no idea what is wrong... | 08:45 |
| smw | but the grub2 disk from the internet works perfectly... | 08:45 |
| niluje | My ubuntu (12.04 lts, unity) was responsive. I need to reboot every ~15 days, as it becomes less and less responsive (changing of workspaces takes a few ms). Is it a known issue? | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | smw: the Ubuntu liveCD has all the stuff you need on it, no need for an extra CD.... | 08:45 |
| asfsdfad | thanks,I just test my ircclient | 08:45 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, really? It has something to boot the linux already there? | 08:45 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, I needed the grub live cd because the grub installed on my system was not booting | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | smw: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/ | 08:46 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, and I did not have the livecd, just the alternative install cd | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | smw: you can use the alternate CD too, same difference | 08:47 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, I did a reinstall of grub! | 08:47 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, grub install /dev/sda | 08:47 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, it did not work | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | smw: when the text installer starts asking for input, press CTRL+ALT+F2 | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | smw: you can do a bit more than than in a chroot | 08:47 |

| ActionParsnip | smw: that guide is what I recommend to users with grub issues | 08:49 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, have you ever seen one where grub did not come up at all? | 08:49 |
| Dr_Willis | thers that boot-repair tool also. and iove also insgtsalled grub to a spare tiny flash drive as a backup 'boot my system' device | 08:49 |
| Dr_Willis | perhaps try installing it to a flash drive as a test | 08:50 |
| smw | the bios seems to never pass off to grub. | 08:50 |
| ActionParsnip | smw: tried holding shift at boot? | 08:50 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, there is no grub... | 08:50 |
| smw | and yes | 08:50 |
| ActionParsnip | smw: then the BIOS sounds like it needs configuring | 08:50 |
| smw | I looked, there is no reason in the BIOS | 08:50 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, haha. The commands she use are the exact same things I did | 08:51 |
| * L3top asks again do you have hw virtualization option/enabled in BIOS smw? | 08:51 | |
| smw | L3top, yes, it has always been enabled | 08:52 |
| TransitTycoon | L3top: The thread didnt solve my problem; it just got me where I am right now. | 08:52 |
| smw | L3top, I enabled it a long time ago | 08:52 |
| L3top | try disabling it. | 08:52 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, I even did the same bind commands :-P | 08:53 |
| TransitTycoon | L3top: essentially I need to run two recording programs; one for my internal audio, one for my external audio. I want to just use one so I don't have to bother with editing, and re-rendering | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | smw: what if you run: sudo update-grub in the chroot, did you do that? | 08:54 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, yep | 08:54 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, but that does not help anyways because that updates the grub.cfg | 08:54 |
| smw | and it never gets to that stage | 08:55 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, anyways, thanks for the help. I am going to go rebooting/debugging. | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | smw: then i'd check your BIOS out | 08:55 |

| The_Explorer | Question: System wide lag/stutter(even programs already loaded) SATA Hard drive local transfers (Large files) | 09:19 |
| karlhunt | Dr_Willis, I figured that. It was fine for ages them one day blamo. Can't remember if I applied and updates or not. I tried removing gnome-shell and re-installing it | 09:19 |
| fishbait | well the only difference is that eth0:avahi isn't there | 09:19 |
| fishbait | reboot after miitool -F 100baseTx-fd and magically it works | 09:21 |
| fishbait | that forces it to 100mbps full duplex | 09:22 |
| glitsj16 | shafi: cnfiguratin looks good, but I suspect 12.04's changes regarding DNS could be the issue. See http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ for more info ... | 09:22 |
| MonkeyDust | !find avahi | fishbait | 09:22 |
| ubottu | fishbait: Found: avahi-autoipd, avahi-daemon, avahi-dbg, avahi-utils, libavahi-client-dev, libavahi-client3, libavahi-common-data, libavahi-common-dev, libavahi-common3, libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev (and 25 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=avahi&searchon=names&suite=precise§ion=all | 09:22 |
| fishbait | don't need to mii-tool -F 100baseTx-fd worked | 09:23 |
| shafi | many thanks glitsj16 | 09:23 |
| Dr_Willis | karlhunt: as a test try making a new user . see if it works for them | 09:23 |
| karlhunt | Dr_Willis, good idea ill give that a bash | 09:23 |
| fishbait | chuck_norris for future reference i think that the switchmods driver doesn't support 1000baseTx aka gigabit ethernetso u use mii-tool -F 100baseTx-fd to force it to use 100mbps speeds | 09:25 |
| Chuck_Norris | ye, and i think you can do it with "iwconfig" as well, that's what i think | 09:26 |
| cache_za | i installed 12.04 only to find that dns change made my local network servers disappear, annoying | 09:26 |
| MonkeyDust | cache_za start from the beginning | 09:26 |
| fishbait | iwconfig only with wireless i think | 09:26 |
| karlhunt | Dr_Willis, nil point :-( still gnome classic | 09:26 |
| Dr_Willis | my local netwwok servers started showing up in 12.04 ;) go figure | 09:26 |
| fishbait | but usefull info non the less | 09:26 |
| Dr_Willis | karlhunt: perhaps stop lightdm, login to console. use startx and look for some error messages on the console . (just guessing now) | 09:27 |
| fishbait | eitherway thank you for the help | 09:27 |
| Chuck_Norris | ye, np | 09:27 |

| jamesloiz | how can i install openoffice | 09:30 |
| jamesloiz | the old version | 09:30 |
| jamesloiz | libreoffice is different :( | 09:30 |
| Dr_Willis | id say learn libreoffice. | 09:31 |

| MonkeyDust | see? | 09:31 |
| Guest61884 | hi | 09:31 |
| jamesloiz | ahum ye | 09:31 |
| jamesloiz | seems i get a BadSomething error | 09:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Openoffice is basically dead isent it? | 09:31 |
| jamesloiz | related to X or something | 09:31 |
| Dr_Willis | jamesloiz: it may be in your Xsomthing.log in your home dir | 09:32 |
| knightrider | hi | 09:32 |
| jamesloiz | hum | 09:32 |
| knightrider | hi hih | 09:32 |
| MonkeyDust | knightrider this is the ubuntu support channel | 09:33 |
| x_ | why the switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice? | 09:33 |
| Dr_Willis | oracle killed Openoffice dident they? | 09:33 |
| MonkeyDust | x_ because of oracle | 09:33 |
| Dr_Willis | oracle is good at ruining good projects | 09:33 |
| knightrider | i know MonkeyDust , thats for the welcome greeting | 09:33 |
| knightrider | thanks | 09:34 |
| MonkeyDust | x_ guess openoffice is no longer open source, since oracle bought it | 09:34 |
| Dr_Willis | So its ClosedOffice? | 09:34 |
| knightrider | MonkeyDust, wheres the links? | 09:34 |
| knightrider | lolXD | 09:34 |

| Dr_Willis | openvoid_: you can do /meg ubottu factoidname | 09:35 |
| Dr_Willis | oops /msg ;) | 09:35 |
| glitsj16 | fishbait: trying to follow your thread ... you mentioned getting it to work but not reviving a reboot, editing /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf is known to fix that part of the puzzle... have you tried that already? | 09:35 |
| openvoid_ | thanks | 09:36 |
| gbear14275 | anyone know anything about this? http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=21385&lang=eng&OSVersion=&DownloadType=Firmware | 09:36 |
| karlhunt | Dr_Willis, couldn't see anything. Need to figure this out I don't want to reinstall | 09:36 |
| x_ | I hadn't realized that Oracle bought OpenOffice, MonkeyDust ? Wow. | 09:36 |
| Dr_Willis | x_: they sort of bought SUN... | 09:36 |
| cylon1729 | hi | 09:36 |
| Dr_Willis | 2 years ago? 3? | 09:37 |
| AlanBell | x_: oracle bought sun, messed up openoffice for a bit, caused the libreoffice fork then gave the bits to the apache foundation who are the current maintainers of Apache OpenOffice | 09:37 |
| gbear14275 | linux microcode update? anyone heard of it? | 09:37 |
| Dr_Willis | im suprised google dident gobble them up. | 09:37 |
| AlanBell | x_: the supported fork in Ubuntu is libreoffice, but in theory apache openoffice could make a comeback one day | 09:38 |
| yeats | gbear14275: what's your actual question? | 09:38 |
| MonkeyDust | gbear14275 better ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:39 |
| gbear14275 | yeats, MonkeyDust, wondering if its applicable to my system | 09:39 |
| mimicc | anyone on around here who can help me understand why my os keeps crashing...had current ubuntu now on xubuntu still same problems with computer freezing then will not boot in any mode from hard drive or from original usb but if i wait a few hours apparently it will boot as if nothing happened | 09:39 |
| Tazen_ | :) | 09:39 |
| Dr_Willis | mimicc: desktop? Laptop? sounds like a hardware issue some where | 09:40 |
| AlanBell | mimicc: try memtest86 overnight | 09:40 |
| mimicc | really? i had been told maybe hardware but not specifics adn a windows user insisted that wasnt it unfortunately has been my only source or live help without being able to log on here do you think it could be a failed RAM stick? | 09:41 |
| Dr_Willis | mimicc: could be a loose ram stick.. could be most anything. | 09:41 |
| fidel | mimicc: if you consider ram being an issue - run memtest | 09:42 |
| MonkeyDust | mimicc and use more interpunction to make your questions readable, pls :) | 09:42 |
| Dr_Willis | open it up. dust it out. reseat all ram and cablesd.. look for mice :) | 09:42 |
| gbear14275 | wasn't sure if ubuntu did anything with the updates... generally... looking for info (google a little thin) | 09:42 |
| gbear14275 | sorry, flaky hotel wifi | 09:43 |
| mimicc | ahhh ok I had tried memory and it said there were some errors i didnt get the code but then today it sadi there were none...if that is the case does it mean its fixed as of now or just that something was screwy with the tests? first time i had to run those. | 09:43 |
| mimicc | oh sure! sorry. | 09:43 |
| Dr_Willis | memory good then bad.. id definmatly reseat the ram. | 09:43 |
| yeats | gbear14275: you'd want to check with your system vendor about that - it's not related to the OS | 09:43 |
| === sig_wall is now known as sig_wal1 | ||
| gbear14275 | yeats, you sure... just found this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode | 09:43 |
| mimicc | okay. so the people who make the actual hardware is who i need to talk to? how would i reset ram? | 09:44 |
| Dr_Willis | mimicc: remove ram chip, dust it off. plug it back in. | 09:44 |
| mimicc | sounds simple enough | 09:44 |
| Dr_Willis | rather trivial to do. if you can gete to it | 09:44 |
| x_ | guess I'm over a year behind the curve, MonkeyDust : http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2011/04/oracle-gives-up-on-ooo-after-community-forks-the-project/ | 09:44 |
| yeats | gbear14275: no idea, sorry | 09:44 |
| fidel | mimicc: you dont reset ram - you can check if ist connect as expected and then run repeating tests using memtest | 09:44 |
| Dr_Willis | 'reseat' not 'reset' | 09:45 |
| gbear14275 | yeats, it seems to be a mystery... but glad I found a package relating to it | 09:45 |
| yeats | !info intel-microcode | 09:45 |

| Dr_Willis | but most ram chiips thesd days are very well held in. with clips | 09:45 |
| karlhunt | Dr_Willis, getting there found a useful error while running glxinfo /usr/lib/gnome-session/gnome-session-check-accelerated-helper: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1 | 09:46 |
| mimicc | I believe I can get to it...ah, reseat makes more sense now that I think about it...it is a pretty old desktop...good stuff inside i have been told but I am fairly certain it's not an issue to get out and back in | 09:46 |
| Dr_Willis | karlhunt: and those libs are used by the 3d stuff. | 09:46 |
| Dr_Willis | !find libGL.so.1 | 09:47 |

| karlhunt | and same error in .xsession-errors | 09:47 |
| gbear14275 | yeats, the thing that got me was the description said to put it in "/etc/firmware" and it would work... was suspicious | 09:47 |
| mimicc | I will try that, and hopefully find it is a good fix! Much appreciation Dr_Willis! | 09:47 |
| karlhunt | I tried apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx as that library is supposed to be part of that package | 09:47 |
| yeats | gbear14275: I would generally say if your system is running well, don't change anything firmware-related ;-0 | 09:48 |
| karlhunt | but still no dice | 09:48 |
| asdf_hitwh_ict | . | 09:48 |
| Dr_Willis | mimicc: if memtest says one slot/chip is bad.. you can gtry removeing it.. be sure to UNPLUG from the wall befor working on the insides. | 09:48 |
| bazhang | !test | asdf_hitwh_ict | 09:48 |

| bazhang | asdf_hitwh_ict, dont test here | 09:48 |
| mimicc | okay! I think that was what it said and maybe I knocked it back in place without knowing? If it were that loose... | 09:48 |
| mimicc | since tests when it started just now came back fine | 09:49 |
| Dr_Willis | mimicc: if its old. a good dusting is worth doing. | 09:49 |
| mimicc | ahh | 09:49 |
| mimicc | will do! I have dust off this is fine right? | 09:49 |
| mimicc | Someone said to keep it running to avoid blowing dust into the hard drive? | 09:49 |
| gbear14275 | yeats, indeed, thanks for the look | 09:50 |
| phanindraramesh | Hai all, is there any tool in ubuntu that takes ttf font file as input, gives the font information in xml format as output?? | 09:51 |
| mimicc | thanks again! I'm gonna run the tests once more and perhaps dust/reseat as needed if problem comes up again. again- very much appreciated! it was giving me issues for weeks nice ot finally have a clear idea at least. =) | 09:53 |
| wylde_ | mimicc: ideally you shouldnt' have your hands inside the case while it's powered up. You should also remove the power cord from the wall and Either discharge static by touching the case frame or using an anti-static strap. | 09:54 |
| Dr_Willis | unplug from wall befor working on it. | 09:54 |
| Dr_Willis | and hard drives have filters. :0 | 09:54 |

| Dr_Willis | gparted is our friend phanindraramesh ;) | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | backup imporntant data first. | 10:00 |
| phanindraramesh | Dr_Willis, there is nothing in the pendrive | 10:00 |
| Dr_Willis | phanindraramesh: you dident 'dd' an iso file to the flash drive did you: | 10:00 |
| Chuck_Norris | plug the drive, open gparted, unmount the drive, right click on the 1.2 partition then resize | 10:00 |
| === iram is now known as sex | ||
| phanindraramesh | Dr_Willis, I did. I created a ubuntu 12.04 bootable usb from the pendrive | 10:01 |
| Chuck_Norris | finaly aply changes -.- | 10:01 |
| Dr_Willis | phanindraramesh: thats why then. :) you will need to use 'dd' to zero the mbr/drive. then repartition it to use all space. | 10:01 |
| Dr_Willis | phanindraramesh: i bet its still showung up as nan iso9660 filesystem | 10:02 |
| Dr_Willis | gparted might be able to delete the iso9660 fs/partition | 10:02 |
| phanindraramesh | Dr_Willis, I formatted it after installing ubuntu | 10:02 |
| Dr_Willis | see what gparted can do then i guess. | 10:02 |
| phanindraramesh | Dr_Willis, it is showing the flags as boot | 10:02 |
| Dr_Willis | boot flags dont menan much theese days ;) | 10:03 |
| Dr_Willis | id say backup any data you want to keep from it. delete partitons, and remake them as you want | 10:03 |
| phanindraramesh | Dr_Willis, I deteted the partitions. but there are 2 partitions in gparted. How can I add them? | 10:05 |
| === iram is now known as optimisteo | ||
| phanindraramesh | Dr_Willis, Got it now. Thank you | 10:06 |
| Dr_Willis | if you delete them all it will all be unallocated space. then make a new partition | 10:06 |
| Dr_Willis | ;) | 10:06 |
| Dr_Willis | dont forget to apply changes... | 10:07 |
| karlhunt | Dr_Willis, the file is there http://pastebin.com/2xm9BHpB but still gnome classic and no glxinfo | 10:09 |

| hjsfk432745 | hello | 10:11 |
| MonkeyDust | Ormie http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ | 10:11 |
| phanindraramesh | Dr_Willis, gparted is showing the message "one operation pending" for a long time. i.e deleting the 1.12 gb | 10:11 |
| * Dr_Willis has no idea why you would wana eol server... | 10:11 | |
| Dr_Willis | phanindraramesh: check the arows. it may show details. | 10:11 |
| MonkeyDust | Ormie has a talent for inventing the strangest questions | 10:11 |
| Dr_Willis | phanindraramesh: it may be confused by it beingg an ISO image at one time. thats why i always zero mine out wwith dd , befor using gparted | 10:12 |
| phanindraramesh | Dr_Willis, how can i zero the dd? | 10:12 |
| hjsfk432745 | can someone help me with disabling my flash hardware acceleration? | 10:12 |
| Darkasakerionz | Hi! Anyone know how to start a process inside a screen from a bash script? | 10:12 |
| Dr_Willis | brb. battery is dead | 10:12 |
| cyberdo | hjsfk432745: right click on an applet and select settings | 10:13 |
| hjsfk432745 | yes but it doesnt work. i cklick on it, but it is still on | 10:13 |
| MonkeyDust | Darkasakerionz from the man pages : -d -m Start screen in "detached" mode. This creates a new session but doesn't attach to it. This is useful for system startup scripts. | 10:13 |
| cyberdo | hjsfk432745: you might need to reload the applet (refresh the page) | 10:14 |
| Darkasakerionz | MonkeyDust, but, with that command can you attach in to a screen from the bash a process? | 10:14 |
| hjsfk432745 | ye stil on | 10:14 |
| cyberdo | hjsfk432745: then I have no idea | 10:15 |
| hjsfk432745 | hmmmm | 10:15 |
| MonkeyDust | Darkasakerionz i'm not sure i understand the question | 10:15 |
| angs | I am using ubuntu 12.04. how/where can I see explanation of color codes in the terminal? | 10:16 |
| Darkasakerionz | MonkeyDust, Sorry I have a worst level of English. | 10:16 |
| Darkasakerionz | MonkeyDust, the point it's to start a screen and execute an script inside that screen, only with a bash script also | 10:16 |
| phanindraramesh | Chuck_Norris, the 1.2 gb partition is mounted on /dev/sda1 and the other is mounted on /dev/sda2. I cannot resize the poartition | 10:17 |
| subhojit_ | how to undo a patch in ubuntu? | 10:17 |
| MonkeyDust | Darkasakerionz then, yes, i guess screen -d -m is what you need | 10:17 |
| wylde_ | Darkasakerionz: #bash may be able to assist you as well. :) | 10:18 |
| Chuck_Norris | phanindraramesh: close gparted and: gksu gparted | 10:18 |
| phanindraramesh | Chuck_Norris, still I cannot resize the partition | 10:19 |
| Chuck_Norris | btw phanindraramesh i like doing "dd" deleting everything then right click > format as, thats it | 10:19 |
| Chuck_Norris | paste an image with the: "cannot resize partition" | 10:20 |
| Darkasakerionz | MonkeyDust, wylde_ thanks | 10:21 |
| phanindraramesh | Chuck_Norris, http://postimage.org/image/r7l7sxu2v/5407904e/is the link. it did not give any message cannot resize. but there is no space to increase the volume | 10:23 |
| Chuck_Norris | phanindraramesh: right click on the grey unalocated partition and format it as you like | 10:25 |
| MonkeyDust | phanindraramesh first reduce the unallocated partition, i guess | 10:25 |
| Chuck_Norris | if you'll using this partition with windows then format it as NTFS | 10:26 |
| Chuck_Norris | ye, if you wanna make the 1.2 partition bigger so, resize the grey partition | 10:26 |
| toasty | Hi. Suddenly my ubuntu fails to load and I get the error message.. "No init found. Try passing the init=bootarg. I typed init=bootarg at the command prompt and it says "/bin/sh: bootarg.: not found" I have no idea what any of this means O.o | 10:28 |

| MonkeyDust | phanindraramesh you're on the right track to learn partitioning | 10:32 |
| Chuck_Norris | phanindraramesh: click on the grey buton for applying changes | 10:33 |
| phanindraramesh | Chuck_Norris, which grey button? | 10:35 |
| Chuck_Norris | green buton | 10:35 |
| Chuck_Norris | i meant -.- | 10:35 |
| dariusz1 | toasty: use gparted in livecd/usb option check yours linux partition | 10:38 |
| phanindraramesh | Chuck_Norris, it worked. thank you | 10:38 |

| shiznatix | Hi. I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed and have the latest eclipse ide as well. I "pinned" the Eclipse icon to the taskbar thing and when I click the icon, it opens eclipse. The problem though is that after eclipse is already running, if I click the icon again it tries to open eclipse again instead of opening the currently existing window. How can I solve this so that I can jump from browser-to-eclipse quickly? | 11:00 |
| wylde_ | anyone know off the top of their head how to redirect the output of a bash command to the clipboard? | 11:01 |

| valentin_mu | Chuck_Norris: i have another problem - i have no menu line "File Edit View, etc" and all ciryllic symbols look corrupted | 12:04 |
| Volkswagner | It seems clamd is using a lot of memory 22322 clamav 25 0 149m 137m 496 S 0 17.9 0:00.00 clamd | 12:05 |

| Chuck_Norris | valentin_mu: if not so, ye there is another problem =P | 12:07 |
| valentin_mu | Chuck_Norris: but i dont see them there | 12:07 |
| sacarlson | Volkswagner: uninstall it? do you really need virus protection? | 12:07 |
| valentin_mu | i use gnome-fallback mode | 12:08 |
| Dr_Willis | unless hes scanning h the windows side of his system ie dosent | 12:08 |
| Volkswagner | I can't say I need it as I don't think It ever ran the entire time my mail server has been up, I just decided to try to tackle this issue again | 12:08 |
| Dr_Willis | there may be updated clamav ppas also | 12:09 |
| MonkeyDust | Volkswagner if you have linux only, you don't really need a virusscanner | 12:09 |
| Chuck_Norris | valentin_mu: like some user says, try the google earth from universe or idk, reinstall or reconfigure the google earth | 12:09 |
| mondokey | the problem is that after executing | 12:09 |

| Chuck_Norris | valentin_mu: sudo apt-get install googleearth-package | 12:13 |
| MonkeyDust | Volkswagner not really | 12:13 |
| Volkswagner | is it possible that ClamAV wants to use more memory than is available, if so How do I check that? | 12:14 |
| sacarlson | Volkswagner: to me it's a waist of resources, yes I would think it's needs too much mem for a vps | 12:14 |
| sacarlson | Volkswagner: you can check mem with top | 12:15 |
| valentin_mu | Chuck_Norris: thanks, i'll try it now | 12:15 |
| Chuck_Norris | np | 12:15 |
| Volkswagner | sacarlson, I don't see mem limit in clamd.conf, could it be set elsewhere? | 12:15 |
| Volkswagner | clamd is using "only" 17% of memory, so I believe the system could offer more if clamd requested it | 12:16 |
| Volkswagner | from top >> 22322 clamav 25 0 149m 137m 496 S 0 17.9 0:00.00 clamd | 12:17 |
| sacarlson | Volkswagner: yes there can be set limits for apps but I'm not sure where they are set | 12:17 |
| Volkswagner | I will heed the advice and apt-get purge clamav :) if after a quick query at #clamAV yields no help | 12:19 |

| candyban | hi all. When I do a dpkg --get-selections >packages on a 12.04 (amd64) and I try to import them in another 12.04 (amd64) it wants to install all sorts of :i386 packages (which are nowhere in the packages file I generated) | 13:10 |
| chicognu | abckb__, yes, i know, but im in trouble using the default client | 13:10 |
| abckb__ | what kind of trouble? | 13:11 |
| candyban | Is dpkg --set-selections < packages ; apt-get dselect-upgrade no longer supported? | 13:11 |
| wylde_ | bieb: check that software center is not open, synaptic is not open,update manager is not open, another instance of apt-get is already running. etc.Besides that the above command should have done it. | 13:11 |

For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 13:15 |

| myr0 | htop | 14:03 |
| SunSoul | I mean, theadmin | 14:03 |
| SunSoul | Sorry | 14:03 |
| sacarlson | SunSoul: you have to install the package grub-efi | 14:04 |
| andy__ | not sure what a live environment is... sorry... i'm running ubuntu 12.04 with unity | 14:04 |
| theadmin | SunSoul: Doesn't really matter, but given that GRUB doesn't boot EFI by default (does it?), I guess live is easier | 14:04 |
| siriusnova | sawp | 14:04 |
| theadmin | andy__: That was a mistab, don't worry about it | 14:04 |
| geirha | LmAt: That's up to you. Obviously, they're not affiliated with Ubuntu, but the fact that they have drm-free, native linux games is enough for me | 14:04 |
| Duality | hi all | 14:06 |
| Duality | i got a computer that runs ubuntu server, and this laptop i am on right now, would it be possible to stream sound somehow over the network to my ubuntu server computer ? | 14:06 |
| SunSoul | theadmin, I currently have an installation of Ubuntu 12.04, but it currently does not boot. The installation went fine, but I need to install Grub-EFI. So, if I boot through live environment, whether it be CD or USB, and do the reinstallation, I should be good to go? | 14:06 |
| masd | hello all, what's best ? ubunto 32 bits or 64 ? | 14:06 |
| Meridious | what kind of computer ? | 14:07 |
| trirnoth | Hello all. Googling but not coming up with what I think would be an easy solution. How can I have a command run at startup as a regular (non rot) user ? | 14:07 |
| theadmin | SunSoul: Just install the grub-efi package on livecd, then run "grub-install" appropriately. | 14:07 |
| larryone | masd, if you're got a 64 bit machine, run 64 bit OS.... | 14:07 |
| theadmin | masd: 64-bit support is good enough, just use that if your hardware supports it. | 14:07 |
| theadmin | trirnoth: Add "@reboot your_command" to your user's crontab. | 14:08 |
| SunSoul | theadmin, alright, but do you perform this installation string before installating Ubuntu, or after installing Ubuntu, before restarting your system? | 14:08 |
| zykotick9 | masd: how much RAM do you have? if it's less then 4GB, i'd use 32. | 14:08 |
| brooke_ | mh....... | 14:08 |
| theadmin | SunSoul: After installing, I guess, because Ubiquity puts grub without caring about EFI | 14:08 |
| trirnoth | theadmin: cool. thnx. reading up on this now. | 14:09 |
| brooke_ | anybody know a windows live messenger for ubuntu where it lets u video chat | 14:09 |
| masd | Okey thanks all, but why on the ubunto website the 32 bits version is ( recommended ) | 14:09 |
| SunSoul | theadmin, okay. Will give it a try. | 14:09 |
| Guest83298 | howto reinstall wifi | 14:09 |
| Meridious | because it will work on both 32 and 64 bit hardware | 14:09 |
| theadmin | Guest83298: That question makes no sense. Also you were already told twice that we don't support Backtrack. | 14:09 |
| Meridious | it will not use 64 bit hardware to its full potential however | 14:10 |
| Meridious | but it will run stably | 14:10 |
| masd | zykotick9 i have 8GB | 14:10 |
| brooke_ | anybody know a windows live messenger for ubuntu where it lets u vieo chat | 14:10 |
| zykotick9 | masd: use 64bit then! | 14:10 |
| theadmin | brooke_: I think amsn has support for that. | 14:10 |
| takeitrun | if u have 8gb use 64bit | 14:10 |
| Meridious | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?distro=desktop&release=lts&bits=64 | 14:10 |
| Meridious | there is the download link for ya | 14:10 |
| brooke_ | mh........ | 14:10 |
| Jonii_ | 64bit is good enough nowdays? :o | 14:10 |
| joedoe47 | so so | 14:11 |
| Jonii_ | I have had 64bit computers for a long time now, but I was always told to use 32bit version regardless, so I've did | 14:11 |
| masd | Thanks all, have a nice day! =D | 14:11 |
| brooke_ | hhow do i open it | 14:11 |
| Meridious | You too | 14:11 |
| Jonii_ | i've done that* | 14:11 |
| brooke_ | i have it installed | 14:11 |

| mun | hi | 14:23 |
| Dr_Willis | SunSoul: grub normally goes ont eh MBR of the HD.. ie: sda | 14:23 |

| brooke_ | anyone knoww how to install oovoo on ubuntu | 14:25 |
| Dr_Willis | mun: 11.04 to 11.10 is a major update. not just a 'system update' | 14:25 |
| chicognu | sacarlson, and the ip ? i leave it to be set by dhcp ? because my ip is not fix, when i reboot i will lost my atual ip | 14:25 |
| mun | Dr_Willis, is 11.10 to 12.04 also a major one? | 14:25 |
| Dr_Willis | mun: even more biggererer ;) | 14:25 |
| mun | well, then i guess i should be saying there're too many major updates. | 14:26 |
| Dr_Willis | 12.04 did a lot of huge updates/changes/improvements | 14:26 |

| Mo0O | ? | 14:28 |

| kanhiya | disk usage is so high that,it does not blink | 14:29 |
| sacarlson | chicognu: that means you would also want to try set your ip manualy to 192.168.100.5 and see if you can ping 192.168.100.1 and try connect to it with your browser to see you get the login screen | 14:30 |

| kanhiya | I don't know what is the cause | 14:30 |
| kanhiya | it is being caused by update | 14:30 |

| kanhiya | how to know what is the cause, normally nautilus i think | 14:31 |

| rapha | Hi! | 14:31 |
| Jonii_ | The only reason I know that X.org crashed is the window popping up and explaining that it's what happened | 14:31 |
| Mo0O | Dr_Willis: with something like lsmod :) | 14:31 |
| rapha | How do I connect to a Window 7 network share whose user doesn't have a password with Nautilus? | 14:31 |
| SunSoul | Dr_Willis Ah, ok. So / 10gb, home can be the rest, and swap can be 6GB, so 6144 for swap. | 14:32 |
| Jonii_ | There's no sign of redrawing anything, no slowing down, no graphics tearing, no part of system becoming unstable, no visible bugs, no features lacking, no options disappearing, no programs I can see crashing | 14:32 |
| reisio | Exploiter: I'd probably use egrep or awk myself | 14:32 |
| llutz | Exploiter: always 3rd field separated by whitespaces? cut -d' ' -f3 | 14:32 |
| reisio | actually I'd use perl | 14:33 |
| Jonii_ | I'm kinda curious to know how that can be the case. I mean, X.org crashed. It's supposed to handle... Well, everything | 14:33 |
| * reisio throws perl at everything :p | 14:33 | |
| reisio | Jonii_: X has no popup for crashes | 14:33 |
| reisio | Jonii_: you're talking about some DE crashing :p | 14:33 |
| sidvee | My insti has proxy, am try to install a pkg and he is getting stuck at "Connecting to archive.canonical.com|91.187.29.150|:80" | 14:34 |
| Exploiter | LLutz can you give an example? | 14:34 |
| Jonii_ | reisio, still, that's precisely what happened. Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error. When I press "see details", it explains to me that X.org has crashed | 14:34 |
| Exploiter | I wan to get whole like after http | 14:35 |
| sidvee | How to make the apt-get connect to where I want. sources.list? | 14:35 |
| Jonii_ | Then lots of technobabble about specifics of that crash | 14:35 |
| llutz | Exploiter: cut -d" " -f3 file will always cut and show the 3rd column from "file" | 14:35 |
| MonkeyDust | sidvee connect where you want? | 14:36 |
| Exploiter | LLutz as I said, I want to get all the character after the http word. | 14:36 |
| Jonii_ | What I don't get is, how come all the problems this crash causes to me is this windows popping up | 14:36 |
| sidvee | MonkeyDust: Connect to my insti REPOS. | 14:36 |
| reisio | Jonii_: nope, probably compiz crashed | 14:36 |
| dryicebomb | Exploiter cut -d: -f2 | 14:36 |
| sidvee | Apt-get getting stuck at "Connecting to archive.canonical.com|91.167.29.150|:80" | 14:36 |
| Jonii_ | reisio: you'd probably see some graphics being redrawn if compiz crashed? | 14:36 |
| llutz | Exploiter: and i asked you: you want to cut always 3rd field separated by whitespaces? | 14:36 |
| MonkeyDust | sidvee ubuntu version? | 14:37 |
| zykotick9 | sidvee: do you have your proxy set in /etc/apt/apt.conf? | 14:37 |
| llutz | Exploiter: or is it "http://to-the-end-of-line" or what exactly? | 14:37 |
| Jonii_ | reisio: like I said, this crash has absolutely no effect that's visible to me, other than the "ubuntu has experienced an internal error" window popping up. | 14:37 |
| sacarlson | sidvee: I think it's like export http_proxy=http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport | 14:38 |
| MonkeyDust | Jonii_ then why bother? | 14:38 |
| Jonii_ | Few days earlier I was listening to music, and I got similar report, the only difference was that it was some low-level sound device controller that had crashed. My music played on uninterrupted | 14:38 |
| brooke_ | i tried to sudo install Amsn sudo apt-get install Amsn and it sai unable to locate package | 14:38 |
| sidvee | zykotick9: No. That file is empty. Have set it at bashrc | 14:38 |
| zykotick9 | sidvee: in /etc/apt/apt.conf the format is: Acquire::http::Proxy "http:address_here/"; | 14:39 |
| Jonii_ | MonkeyDust: well, system is not supposed to do this, right? | 14:39 |
| DJones | !info aMsn | 14:39 |
| ubottu | Package aMsn does not exist in precise | 14:39 |
| MonkeyDust | brooke_ amsn is no longer in the repos | 14:39 |
| mneptok | Jonii_: that's called "failing elegantly" and is something to which programmer's aspire. | 14:39 |
| brooke_ | nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu | 14:39 |
| sacarlson | sidvee: I think you would want to start as root to keep the export setting like with sudo -s | 14:39 |
| Exploiter | llutz using grep http:// | cut -d: -f2 webs.txt I am getting '//google.com' | 14:39 |
| Exploiter | LLutz: yes till the end of line after http word(including http word) | 14:39 |
| Jonii_ | mneptok: well, yeah, if that's the case, it's extremely cool, but I'm still worried a bit about these constant crashes all around my system | 14:40 |
| sidvee | sacarlson: Already done. Have saved it at bashrc | 14:40 |
| sidvee | zykotick9: lemme try. | 14:40 |
| sacarlson | sidvee: and fails to work? | 14:40 |
| Jonii_ | Again, these happens 2-4 times/boot | 14:40 |
| mneptok | Jonii_: try a live CD? and a Live session of something like Xubuntu or Kubuntu? see wha'ppens? | 14:40 |
| sidvee | sacarlson: Yes. It is try to access "archive.canonical.com" | 14:40 |
| zykotick9 | sidvee: v2 in /etc/apt/apt.conf the format is -- Acquire::http::Proxy "http://address_here:PORT/"; | 14:41 |
| sidvee | sacarlson: trying* | 14:41 |
| sacarlson | sidvee: maybe you set the export in your user and not for root | 14:41 |
| Jonii_ | mneptok: I could try that, though I'd have no idea how to use the data gathered that way to decide what to do next | 14:41 |
| sidvee | zykotick9: Wait. Trying | 14:41 |
| sidvee | sacarlson: What to do then? | 14:42 |
| jennie | hello, I need help with this command please tell me what to do to run this command ? find -size [[+|-]]<size> | 14:42 |
| mneptok | Jonii_: the critical fata is "does this happen on Xubuntu where there is no Unity, there is no 3D compositing, and things are generally less complex?" | 14:42 |
| Jonii_ | There is a possibility that my memory controller is bust. I suspended my system before applying a required patch that makes the system not-bust-memory-controller-when-going-suspend | 14:42 |
| sacarlson | sidvee: zykotick9's method sounds better | 14:42 |
| sidvee | sacarlson: Following that wait | 14:42 |
| sidvee | zykotick9: Do i need to do the same for FTP as well? | 14:42 |
| sidvee | zykotick9: http , https, ftp? | 14:42 |
| zykotick9 | sidvee: i just use http? so i'm not sure. | 14:43 |

| Jonii_ | mneptok: that sounds sensible. Though I'm unsure if Xubuntu has identical way of telling user that something just crashed? | 14:43 |
| Jonii_ | All I have to go on with is that "Ubuntu has encountered an internal error" window that pops up, that behavior needs to be in place in Xubuntu also | 14:43 |

| JerusalemT | Shalom y'all. Both my network card and my sound card seem to have stopped working. What to do? | 14:52 |
| jennie | sacarlson please take any example , I just want to learn about it | 14:52 |

| sacarlson | jennie: try experiment find -size 10k | 14:53 |
| angs | how to select all text in nano editor? | 14:53 |
| jennie | sacarlson what about [+|-] ? | 14:53 |
| JerusalemT | How can I re configure my network card so that it will recognize the router? | 14:54 |
| sacarlson | jennie: I think + is graterthan - is lessthan try and find out | 14:54 |
| llutz | jennie: - = smaller than, + = bigger than | 14:54 |
| ikonia | jennie: man find will explain it also | 14:55 |
| sacarlson | jennie: so you can try find -size 10K+ and find -size 10k- and see the diff | 14:55 |
| Meridious | angs: nano is too lightweight to do a select all | 14:55 |
| JerusalemT | Does anyone have any suggestions about reconfiguring my network card? | 14:55 |

| jennie | sacarlson what [+|-] means I was trying find -size [+|-] 100 | 14:56 |
| ikonia | jennie: man find will explain the options | 14:56 |
| ikonia | brooke_: what you've said makes no sense | 14:56 |
| SDX0 | JerusalemT, you might want to look into ifconfig and iwconfig. | 14:56 |
| angs | Meridious: thank you | 14:56 |
| sacarlson | jennie: and I had it reversed it's find -size -10k | 14:57 |
| llutz | jennie: - = smaller than, + = bigger than find / -size +10M to find files >10Mbyte find / -size -10M for files < 10MByte | 14:57 |
| SDX0 | JerusalemT, but that's after you're sure the drivers for your network card are working properly. | 14:57 |

| krababbel | JerusalemT: anyway you can do changes directly in terminal using 'sudo ip' commands. 'ip add 1.1.1.1/24 dev eth1' adds an address. ip delete... removes. this works immediately | 15:08 |
| dryicebomb | rapha can you check the firewall settings on the computer that you are trying to get to? make sure that windows file and print sharing are allowed. | 15:08 |

| JerusalemT | Ooooh mneptok, that's an idea | 15:18 |
| mneptok | B_Pro: the USB installer is a bootable device. it is not something you try to mount and run from inside OSX. | 15:18 |

| kanhiya | is there any way to stop loading same list again and again while updating | 15:31 |
| kanhiya | i am having a slow internet connection | 15:31 |

| kanhiya | and every time it loads same file again and again | 15:31 |
| MonkeyDust | and what's uefi? | 15:32 |
| kanhiya | is there any way | 15:32 |
| mneptok | MariachiAC: UEFI systems will not boot without this. if you do not have such a partition, you either have to reinstall, or set the BIOS to disable EFI completely. | 15:32 |
| kanhiya | to stop loading same files again and again and update only changes | 15:32 |
| kanhiya | i mean , if i add repo. | 15:32 |

| Waynes | some application crashed and left my screen at 600x400 and I can't revert it because I can't press the required buttons since they are not on the screen, what to do? | 16:01 |
| arfbtwn | Waynes, not sure if ctrl + - will work to switch modes on *buntu | 16:01 |

| arfbtwn | Waynes, like Gyges said, then probably xkill or something | 16:02 |
| Waynes | Gyges: how would a terminal help me? is there some command to change screen settings? | 16:03 |

| Ongabonga | hello everyone, I'm trying to solve a dependency, and the last one, wants to remove a bunch of software, and I don't know if this will break my system: http://pastebin.com/XKhC8AZX | 16:12 |
| === chelogui_ is now known as chelogui | ||
| limiton | no one? | 16:13 |
| subcool_ | Meridious, i did apt-get upgrade and it kinda upgraded my system, i followed up with a autoremove, which destroyed a ton of stuff. | 16:13 |
| subcool_ | my thoughts are- redo the upgrade. | 16:13 |
| Meridious | subcool_: yeah, that is worth a shot | 16:14 |
| subcool_ | Meridious, so how do i do it? | 16:14 |
| Gyges | isn't there a ubuntu-desktop package which might as well install the missing packages? | 16:14 |
| crazypete | when writing free, what does +/- buffers/cache mean? | 16:14 |
| subcool_ | apt-get -f upgrade? | 16:14 |
| Meridious | subcool_: yea | 16:14 |
| subcool_ | will it re-dl all the packages that were downloaded witht he first upgrade? | 16:14 |
| zykotick9 | subcool_: is upgrade really an option? i've heard of "apt-get -f install" but not upgrade | 16:15 |
| subcool_ | zykotick9, i have no clue | 16:15 |
| Meridious | yeah, it works | 16:15 |
| A0D | yah sudo apt-get upgrade is right | 16:15 |
| subcool_ | A0D, ya, but i already did an upgrade.. so my thoughts are- the system already thinks it up to par. even though all the packages are f'ed | 16:16 |
| subcool_ | Meridious, that didnt work | 16:16 |
| subcool_ | undo upgrade? | 16:16 |
| hamchi | 3 | 16:16 |
| subcool_ | i have no idea what im doing- im just guessing | 16:17 |
| A0D | as far as i know you cant undo it unless you have a previous backup | 16:18 |
| Meridious | do it and see if it works | 16:18 |
| subcool_ | i just did- idnt o anything | 16:18 |

| toasty | thanks again, u guys are life savers | 16:23 |
| A0D | toasty if its an old ide drive, check the slave/master pin postion | 16:23 |

| djszapi | Hey! What is the name of the openssl development package on buntu ? | 16:24 |
| suruibin | saddssdpo | 16:24 |
| A0D | isank where to start up? you mean like what linux to install? | 16:24 |
| subcool_ | toasty, ya, A0D is right, sometimes pins get screw it up | 16:24 |
| Chuck_Norris | !find openssl | 16:24 |
| djszapi | libssl-dev or ? | 16:24 |
| ubottu | Found: libcrypt-openssl-bignum-perl, libcrypt-openssl-random-perl, libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl, libcurl4-openssl-dev, libevent-openssl-2.0-5, libgnutls-openssl27, libruby, libruby1.8, libruby1.9.1, openssl-blacklist (and 20 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openssl&searchon=names&suite=precise§ion=all | 16:24 |
| A0D | subcool_ lol i rember those pins...so old | 16:24 |
| toasty | oh, you guys mean like bent pins? | 16:24 |
| isank | no no ubuntu is perfect for me , i mean new in the sense regarding learning about the internals of it and etc | 16:25 |
| A0D | toasty yah damaged or in the wrong position | 16:25 |
| toasty | i'll give the pins a look too then | 16:25 |
| toasty | :) | 16:25 |
| subcool_ | make the when you turn it on toasty that the bios info matches order u put it on the ribbon. No- wrong position. | 16:25 |
| oskar_ | ro | 16:25 |
| subcool_ | toasty, the pins tell the MB if the drive is mast or slave. | 16:25 |
| isank | @toasty - these old IDE harddrives were a real pain | 16:25 |
| A0D | isank oh i see well i learned by using thr terminal as much as possible and googling everytime you dont know something | 16:25 |
| subcool_ | toasty, the ribbon also tell the mb if the drive is master or slave.. | 16:26 |
| A0D | isank youll pick it up quick | 16:26 |
| angs | why can't I find any result for "realtek" or "rtl8192cu" on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 16:26 |
| subcool_ | toasty, i was having issues with that stuff because my ribbons werent long enough to fit where i wanted them, real PIA. | 16:26 |
| isank | thanks buddy is there any good book you could suggest me | 16:26 |
| isank | and which OS(linux) are u using | 16:27 |
| toasty | well i'm not sure about how to make certain that the pins are in the right position if you are meaning like the jumper cable? | 16:27 |
| subcool_ | No one? redo an upgrade? - do i really ahve to manually re-install every package that gives me grief??? | 16:27 |
| subcool_ | toasty, ya.. like that. | 16:27 |
| A0D | isank hmmm i remeber a book called the linux poxket guide i believe. it was greatto flip through and learn things here and there | 16:27 |
| subcool_ | just check the HD - it should tell u on the HDD itself.. | 16:27 |
| subcool_ | toasty, ^ | 16:27 |
| numb95 | how can i download a directory via aria2c like wget -mirror | 16:27 |
| A0D | subcool_ yah unfortunatly i think so | 16:27 |
| * subcool_ grumbles | 16:27 | |
| isank | @toasty - yes yes we are talking about the jumper thing only | 16:28 |
| toasty | oh right, hopefully it's just the order on the connector ribbon, but if that fails i'll figure out about the pins | 16:28 |
| toasty | k, i'm off, wish me luck | 16:28 |
| toasty | :P | 16:28 |
| subcool_ | toasty, you should make sure the HDD is Primary, and the CDROM is Secondary. OR | 16:28 |
| A0D | subcool_ after you fix it, maybe backups are something to think about? lol | 16:28 |
| isank | @toasty - wish u luck buddy | 16:28 |
| subcool_ | toasty, check the pins. they will screw u before the ribbon. | 16:28 |
| A0D | toasty good luck | 16:28 |

| alexs | plz halp :( | 16:29 |
| toasty | thanks guys | 16:29 |
| subcool_ | toasty, it would be best to make the HDD primary on IDE 0 and CDROM primary on IDE 1 | 16:29 |
| subcool_ | np- later | 16:29 |
| subcool_ | good luck, ill be gone in a few mins. | 16:29 |

| jarray52 | Today, I have an update that wants to update/install a lot of stuff on Ubuntu 10.04LTS. Furthermore, I have a warning the update is unsigned. The update modifies linux headers for all kernels on my system(4 different versions), mysql stuff, all linux kernel images, libc, radeon and nouveau drivers, and tons of x11 libraries. Was there a major change to the video stack? Or, should I be suspicious of this update? | 16:57 |
| isank | i have searching this for months and got nothing useful in my hand, i have downloaded and synced the whole for about 2 times but no use | 16:58 |

| ChesterX | hello everybody, i just bought humblebundle 5 and psychonauts is a .bin. How can i use/mount it? | 17:55 |
| rypervenche | ChesterX: I just bought it too. Braid is awesome! You need to run it as a script. chmod +x blahblah.bin then run it as ./blahblah.bin | 17:56 |
| zykotick9 | ChesterX: bin could be binary execulable so chmod then ./foo.bin - OR is could be a bin/cue (bin/toc) image. | 17:56 |
| ChesterX | foo=name? | 17:56 |
| zykotick9 | ChesterX: yup | 17:56 |
| AssociateX | How do I see .hidden files in my home folder? | 17:56 |
| ChesterX | thanks i ll try | 17:56 |

| freijon_ | Hey everyone. Is anyone using Google Chrome? I'm having some issues, like when I open a link somewhere outside chromium (e.g. a GTK-Application) chrome opens a new window with an empty tab, but does not load the page. It also doesn't remember my open tabs even though I choose to remember them. I don't have these problems with chromium-browser (which is outdated). any ideas? | 17:57 |
| AssociateX | zykotick9, ha, I should have specified gui. | 17:57 |
| AssociateX | rypervenche, thank you | 17:57 |

| Dr_willis | davidha, what do you need to do with it? | 18:01 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_willis: my guess - mindcraft ;) | 18:01 |
| Dandaman3452 | @davidha i belive there is a software raid option 1 sec | 18:01 |

| soothsayer2002 | I am looking to do some programming and i am trying to find out what i need to know. | 18:04 |
| davidha | Dr_willis, I was playing with ramfs and tmpfs - they do not support extended file attributes (which I need) - need to look for alternatives | 18:05 |
| ace_me | hi all | 18:05 |
| gajbooks | soothsayer2002: You need to know what language to learn, first of all. | 18:05 |
| alessandro_ | Sera | 18:05 |
| soothsayer2002 | Well I know some c++ but has been a long time since i played with it.. in windows i was VB | 18:06 |
| Dandaman3452 | hey anyone know how to repair an ext4 filesystem | 18:06 |
| ace_me | I've just installed my first ubuntu few days ago and i am wondering how should I read email sent to root ? Should I install dovecot ? Should I use webmin ? how should I do this please ? | 18:06 |
| zykotick9 | !webmin | ace_me not webmin! | 18:07 |
| ubottu | ace_me not webmin!: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 18:07 |
| Meridious | soothsayer2002: start reading http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/ | 18:07 |
| towolf | anyone know why my package FTBFS? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1037676/ | 18:07 |
| Dandaman3452 | anyone know how to repair an ext4 filesystem | 18:07 |
| doc|home | anyone? | 18:07 |
| Jordan_U | Dandaman3452: Please wait more than a minute before repeating your question. | 18:07 |
| Meridious | soothsayer2002: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/index.htm | 18:07 |
| Jordan_U | !fsck | Dandaman3452 | 18:08 |
| ubottu | Dandaman3452: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 18:08 |
| Dandaman3452 | Jordan_U thank you | 18:08 |
| davidha | Dandaman3452, /dev/shm is tmpfs | 18:09 |
| Jordan_U | Dandaman3452: You're welcome. | 18:09 |
| davidha | Dandaman3452, I am lookingalternatives to tmpfs and ramfs as they do not seem to support extended attributes | 18:09 |
| Dandaman3452 | Jordan_U will try now , report back results | 18:10 |
| Dr_willis | make a ext2 filesystem in a file in tmpfs perhaps? and loopback mount it. | 18:11 |
| designbybeck_ | Recomendations for a Powerful Laptop for running Ubuntu Linux? Any to stay away from? | 18:12 |
| Dr_willis | designbybeck_, its all about your needs and budgets.. check out System76 | 18:12 |
| Meridious | Do you want to install it yourself? | 18:13 |
| thomas001 | hi. i try to set up a htpc/nas box. I really really wanted to put linux, especially ubuntu server on the box, but unfortunately playing blurays in ubuntu seems like a bit of luck and playing 3d blurays with stereoscopic (like in hdmi 1.4) output seems to be quite impossible. is that true, or am i missing something? | 18:13 |
| designbybeck_ | Dr_willis: I am asking for a buddy, he said the reviews on System76 were they overheat really bad | 18:13 |
| Dr_willis | designbybeck_, thats part of 'powerfull' | 18:13 |
| designbybeck_ | ;) | 18:13 |
| Dandaman3452 | Jordan_U : i have rofs how can i run this ? sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/daniel/2: Read-only file system touch: cannot touch `/forcefsck': Read-only file system | 18:13 |

| [snake] | how can I fix transmission to open a magnetic link from firefox in ubuntu 10.04? | 18:14 |
| Dr_willis | designbybeck_, i had a powerfull laptop ran linxu great.. it and its power supply weighed like 15+ lbs.. :) | 18:14 |
| Meridious | designbybeck_: Its how i cope with being single; fall asleep next to a running laptop | 18:14 |
| Dr_willis | designbybeck_, so its all about his exact needs. Powerfull is a bit vague. :) | 18:14 |
| designbybeck_ | lol | 18:14 |
| Jordan_U | Dandaman3452: You should boot a LiveCD/USB and run fskc from there. | 18:15 |
| Meridious | but in all seriousness, what is he gonna do with it? | 18:15 |
| Dr_willis | Longer Battery life may be more imporntant then 'powerfullcpu' vs 'powerfull gfx' | 18:15 |
| Dandaman3452 | [snake] you need to update to the beta tranmission | 18:15 |
| Dr_willis | night all. | 18:15 |
| soothsayer2002 | thank you i will check into them | 18:16 |
| Dandaman3452 | Jordan_U : yes i have already done that repeatedly | 18:16 |

| Dandaman3452 | Jordan_U : i will now , but my live distro hangs at user imput due to a proc issue on the live cd that has been fixed since in updates so i could be a while | 18:19 |

| spartan2276 | Meridious, so yeah all kinds of issues. Also my PC time is off even after I fix it and set it to Auto | 18:21 |
| Meridious | wolfez: log out and log back in | 18:21 |
| wolfez | I really don't want to. I have a lot of work up | 18:22 |
| Meridious | spartan2276: my guess is to re enter the stuff for Soft Center | 18:22 |
| spartan2276 | Meridious, it also seems like the only way for me to fix the time lag(difference) is to re-start the PC. I somehow think that The USC, Ubuntu One and time lag are all connected | 18:23 |

| Volis | Hi, I had a rather simple question. I used 'LinuxLiveUSB' to create a bootable USB from the 10.10 ISO file I had. I am trying to boot from it but it won't boot. Any hints? | 18:28 |
| gajbooks | Applesouce: Depends on the speed of your computer. | 18:28 |
| Antonis | Applesouce, I use vbox to boot windows 7 in order to use different economics applications for work and university stuff | 18:28 |
| Volis | Boot order already gives 1st priority to USB. | 18:28 |
| Applesouce | I have Intel i5 2600k with 3,4 GHz quad, 8GB RAM and nVidia GTX580 | 18:28 |
| Antonis | I also have adobe suite installed so it's enough I believe | 18:29 |
| spartan2276 | Meridious, maybe there is some kind of bug? you think | 18:29 |
| Meridious | spartan2276: there definitely is | 18:29 |
| Meridious | spartan2276: system time can affect the authentication process | 18:29 |
| Applesouce | I think I have enough power to run a virtual pc | 18:29 |
| Antonis | Applesouce, more than enough =) | 18:30 |
| Applesouce | so how about the partitions? How big should I make them with 1TB | 18:30 |
| Meridious | Applesouce: sounds like you have plenty | 18:30 |
| MartijnH | hi folks, I'm running a system I keep fairly well updated, but unattended-update tends to crash. The crash report indicates its a dupe, but the url on launchpad of which it is supposed to be a dupe 404's | 18:30 |
| gajbooks | Applesouce: Should be O.K. but dual boot would still run faster because it would be running windows too. | 18:30 |
| MartijnH | is there anything I can or should do? | 18:30 |
| gajbooks | *without | 18:30 |
| Applesouce | gajbooks: I want to Play sometimes with it, things like Assassin's Creed or League of Legends .... do you think it would lag on Virtual PC? | 18:30 |

| Chuck_Norris | Applesouce: search for those games on youtube for example like this: "assassin reed ubuntu" | 18:32 |
| whatdaheck | I was going to install ubuntu from an USBstick, seemed all fine but when after install was done i rebooted and it dosnt want 2 boot from harddrive, i need 2 have my USBstick inside the USBport for it 2 work why is that? | 18:33 |
| Applesouce | But it gets normally suported by Wine? | 18:33 |
| Meridious | whatdaheck: when you installed, did you specify for it to install to your Hard Drive or to the USB stick | 18:33 |
| Antonis | Applesouce, some might some won't and some will =) | 18:33 |
| Chuck_Norris | Applesouce: and take a look at: http://www.winehq.org/ and http://www.playonlinux.com | 18:33 |
| Antonis | my solution was to buy a playstation 3 :P | 18:33 |
| wylde_ | whatdaheck: you probably installed GRUB to the mbr of the USB | 18:33 |

| Applesouce | But a playstation has no Adobe CS 6 xD | 18:34 |
| whatdaheck | Meridious: well iam not that sure myself... if i even got asked how ever it asked me 2 clean my 250Gig disk into ext4 i said yes and assume it was gonna install it on that, and with DF in terminal it sais 6.5gig is used by my harddriver | 18:34 |
| whatdaheck | it seems isntalled | 18:34 |
| MartijnH | or is there any place I can get the stacktrace from the apport report? | 18:34 |

| whatdaheck | ty | 18:35 |
| csharp | Antonis: those are the "unmet dependencies" so try to install the original packages | 18:35 |

| csharp | Applesouce: you could shrink Windows with the "shrink partition" tool and give the rest to Ubuntu. The ubuntu installer automatically handles partitions | 18:39 |
| Meridious | dudol: OpenJDK should be in your repositories, type sudo apt-get install openjdk into a terminal | 18:39 |
| csharp | Antonis: okay - I see | 18:39 |
| dudol | Meridious, E: Unable to locate package openjdk | 18:39 |

| Antonis | csharp, plenty.. I also upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 so it's a mess I believe | 18:40 |

| MartijnH | it should be openjdk-version-jre I think | 18:40 |
| Meridious | dudol: | 18:41 |
| Meridious | $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre | 18:41 |
| MartijnH | so 6 or 7 | 18:41 |
| Antonis | csharp, been trying to avoid.. no time :\ and I don't know where to start.. isn't there a way to force install it or something? | 18:41 |
| Applesouce | csharp: so I could keep everything how it is now and just install Ubuntu and it will use the free space? But what happens when there's Space added to my shrinked Partition? | 18:41 |
| Meridious | dudol: sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre should work | 18:41 |
| dudol | yes, working. | 18:41 |
| dudol | Thank you Meridious ! | 18:41 |

| WillPittenger | I won't take any other questions on that. | 18:42 |
| Dandaman3452 | Jordan_U should i try a (superfile?) backup | 18:42 |
| SkippersBoss | fair enogh | 18:42 |
| csharp | Antonis: there may be a way to force install each package, but it would not be recommended | 18:43 |

| dudol | How do I figure if my Ubuntu is 32 or 64bits? | 18:43 |
| Meridious | dudol: system | 18:43 |
| Antonis | csharp, that's what I would recommend myself as well :p.. the problem is the time it will take :\ | 18:43 |
| Meridious | dudol: system settings -> details | 18:43 |
| MartijnH | or anywhere else I might be able to ask? | 18:43 |
| Antonis | it demands plenty of free time.. | 18:43 |
| csharp | Applesouce: Windows would not be able to get any bigger than the size of its partition | 18:44 |
| spartan2276 | Where do the purchases like books and magazines end up after you purchase the item? | 18:44 |
| csharp | Applesouce: if you're concerned about growth, just allocate more to Windows | 18:44 |
| Applesouce | csharp: I know, but what is if I need some more space... | 18:44 |
| dudol | Meridious, thank you again! | 18:44 |
| csharp | Applesouce: I recommend gparted for resizing partitions if needed | 18:44 |

| wilee-nilee | christian__, is it a partial update? | 19:40 |
| abhinavmehta | dryicebomb: interesting..lemme quick check again. | 19:40 |
| Cottus | hotmedal, i don't know , but you could do sth irrelevant: service network-manager stop; pkill wpa_supplicant ;pkill dhc<tab><tab>; pkill dnsmaskq;ps -A|grep dnsmask dhc wpa network; kill those too then service network-manager restart | 19:41 |
| dryicebomb | abhinavmehta http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/plex/id383457673 | 19:41 |
| zykotick9 | DO NOT DO partial upgrades! | 19:41 |
| christian__ | whats that ? wilee-nilee its just a normal update | 19:41 |
| proka | wilee-nilee nope | 19:41 |
| A0D | abhinavmehta np. For some reason I remeber xbmc starting up a server automatically. I dont remeber setting it up | 19:41 |
| wilee-nilee | zykotick9, exactly, ;) | 19:41 |
| christian__ | its a game, i have version 80 of the engine and the update is version 88 | 19:41 |

| === macer7 is now known as macer1 | ||
| Antonis | I did ofcourse an update prior to dist-upgrade | 19:41 |
| wilee-nilee | proka, you might try resetting unity alt-f2 unity --reset | 19:41 |
| abhinavmehta | A0D: ok. | 19:42 |
| sam555 | how do you run gparted at command line? | 19:42 |
| zykotick9 | Antonis: i hope you used ppa-purge to remove | 19:42 |
| A0D | abhinavmehta what distro you running anywas? jw | 19:42 |
| freedomrun | xangua, I belive you but on my fresh installed system it somehow don`t work | 19:42 |
| wilee-nilee | christian__, not sure then really myself. | 19:42 |
| proka | wilee-nilee, I don't think I have Unity, this is 10.04 | 19:42 |
| abhinavmehta | A0D: on 12.04 | 19:42 |
| christian__ | how can i install blocked updates on kubuntu | 19:42 |
| Antonis | zykotick9, I removed the files from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 19:42 |
| dryicebomb | abhinavmehta you'll love it even more if you have Rokus hooked up to your televisions | 19:42 |
| freedomrun | maybe it is somehow specific | 19:42 |
| A0D | abhinavmehta ah okay | 19:42 |
| christian__ | its so easy to play this game on windows, but its a pain in the ass to get it run on linux | 19:42 |
| zykotick9 | Antonis: well, best of luck. you'll need it. | 19:42 |
| wilee-nilee | proka, and your using compiz that is not the stock setting. | 19:42 |
| christian__ | so really, not falming about os's but in this case windows rules | 19:43 |
| A0D | christian_ what game is this? | 19:43 |
| christian__ | spring rts is the egnine | 19:43 |
| Antonis | zykotick9, why is that? | 19:43 |
| proka | wilee-nilee, hm, it came with the system, I'm sure of that.. | 19:43 |
| christian__ | there are some games with that engine.. strategy | 19:43 |
| christian__ | its funny | 19:43 |
| zykotick9 | Antonis: i'd consider you install very broken... but that's just me. | 19:43 |
| A0D | christian_ have you tried playonlinux? | 19:43 |
| christian__ | but on linux nothing is fun | 19:43 |
| sam555 | i'm looking for a command in the shell to show disk geometry | 19:43 |
| christian__ | :( | 19:43 |
| sam555 | is that what gpart does? | 19:44 |
| zykotick9 | !ppa-purge | 19:44 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 19:44 |
| christian__ | A0D no whats that | 19:44 |
| wilee-nilee | proka, I used lucid for a very short time so I can't really speak with really knowing to be honest | 19:44 |
| A0D | christian_ it is a gui program to get windows game srunning on linux. works pretty good for games it supports | 19:44 |
| christian__ | on windows i dont even need to install anything to play that game, just download the portable executable and thats it | 19:44 |
| christian__ | its not a windows only game | 19:44 |
| christian__ | its cross platform | 19:44 |
| christian__ | it works on win mac and lin | 19:44 |
| christian__ | but linux is a pain in the ass, windows is easy as ... _:D | 19:45 |
| abhinavmehta | dryicebomb: sorry, but I've no-clue what Roku is…so don't know the benefits..but yeah thanks for making me future-proof. :) | 19:45 |
| A0D | christian_ if you rinto hardcore gamming, linux prob isn't for you | 19:45 |
| zykotick9 | Antonis: apt does NOT know how to downgrade things - it's a one way (upgrade only) process. | 19:45 |
| christian__ | lol no no i am not hardcore gaming | 19:45 |
| dudol | Could someone help me figure how to set Eclipse to view Java version 7 please? | 19:45 |
| christian__ | its just for fun.. | 19:45 |
| Cottus | sam555, what do you want to do if i may? | 19:45 |
| christian__ | its a really simple game, not heavy graphics etc. | 19:45 |
| A0D | abhinavmehta roku is a device you hook up to tv to stream media from a server on your network | 19:45 |
| Antonis | zykotick9, so what would the next step be now that I actually did it... the wrong way? | 19:45 |
| A0D | christian_ run it in a vm then | 19:45 |
| dryicebomb | Roku is a tiny media player that you can hook to a television for netfix and things like that. http://www.roku.com/ | 19:45 |
| christian__ | but why is linux blocking my update? does linux think i am so stupid that i will install some shit ? | 19:46 |
| christian__ | no a0d | 19:46 |
| wilee-nilee | christian__, lol it is a context thing I never used windows until about two years after starting with open source, I found windows to be rather easy since I was not afraid to use the cli | 19:46 |
| christian__ | A0D: before i run it in a vm i will start windows.... | 19:46 |
| christian__ | i use linux for my studies, programming etc. | 19:46 |
| christian__ | thats what linux is good at | 19:46 |
| abhinavmehta | A0D: dryicebomb: ohh..very interesting… | 19:46 |
| A0D | christian_ then dual boot and game on windows and everything else linux | 19:47 |
| A0D | if your gonna game, thats usually the best way | 19:47 |
| christian__ | but i am so tired of restarting :D | 19:47 |
| sam555 | cottus, I'm trying to print to the screen via a command, the disk ggeometry in cyclinders, trackspercyclinger, and then get info from partition 0 and 1. diskpar was the command given to me, but it is not working | 19:47 |

| zykotick9 | Antonis: i'd re-add those PPAs back, then try ppa-purge | 19:47 |
| A0D | christian_ then see if the windows version is compitable with playonlinux and go from there | 19:47 |
| proka | wilee-nilee: okay, thank you for your time anyway | 19:47 |
| Cottus | sam555, fdisk but be carefull, then in the prompt use the command 'p' | 19:48 |

| dudol | Meridious, how do I do it? | 20:09 |
| Meridious | dudol: yes. you install the package for the DE you want, and select that DE from login | 20:09 |

| dudol | Meridious, ok, let's say I want to try Gnome then. | 20:10 |
| Meridious | then you sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop | 20:10 |
| dudol | <A0D> what is xcfe4? | 20:10 |
| Cottus | dudol, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment | 20:10 |
| Meridious | dudol: or if you prefer the look of gnome 2, sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback | 20:10 |
| A0D | dudol a lightwieght, but good looking and functional gui | 20:10 |
| Meridious | dudol: that last one i recommended looks similar to ubuntu 10.04 | 20:11 |
| Toph2 | A0D,,, i use xcf4.. is there a way to split the file manager, like with F3 in Nautilaus? | 20:11 |
| A0D | Toph2 not that I know of with the default one. install nautilas and use that. | 20:12 |
| Meridious | dudol: you can even uninstall unity afterwards if you want | 20:12 |
| fishbait | is complete-generic linux-kernel a kernel upgrade and if it is willl i need to do the switch mods 12.04 again/ | 20:12 |
| Toph2 | A0D,,, ok,, great,, i didn't realize I could use Nautilas under xcf4 | 20:13 |
| A0D | Toph2 nautilus works fine with xcfe4, but you need a script to start it up corretly, I dont remeber why. if you need the script let me know | 20:13 |
| Bruce0 | Why does the 12.04 upgrade change my server to version Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.39-generic instead of server (it was server on 11.10) and does this mean that I am no longer running a 64 bit kernel? | 20:13 |
| dudol | Meridious, I am installing what you told me before now, lets see what happens. | 20:13 |

| Meridious | dudol: you should be able to log out and use your new DE | 20:16 |
| Bruce0 | thanks jrib. Does that mean both Desktop and Server show as generic, and just have the different components/features installed? How do I tell if I am truly running a 64 bit kernel? | 20:16 |
| Lolnerb | i have a 64 bit kernel ? | 20:16 |
| Toph2 | A0D,,, i hadn't realized, but i do have Nautilua installed and it seems to work fine | 20:16 |

| sinjax | hello! some interesting problems updating my dad's Asus eeebox to 12.04 | 20:24 |
| zykotick9 | !backtrack | zpsaii | 20:24 |
| ubottu | zpsaii: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

| bazhang | zpsaii, not supported here | 20:24 |
| sinjax | firstly, grub couldn't find the boot partition, found an old 10.10 live CD and got that fixed | 20:24 |
| dudol | WoW! | 20:24 |
| dryicebomb | abhinavmehta once you have added a library there should be a little refresh arrow/button in the bottom right corner. Push that, and it should start building a database | 20:24 |
| sinjax | now the X interface (Unity?) is acting really strange | 20:24 |
| Meridious | dudol: did it work | 20:25 |
| dudol | Meridious, yes, very nice... Which other interface do you know? | 20:25 |
| zpsaii | bazhang, what do you mean? | 20:25 |
| sinjax | if the launcher is set to autohide the entire desktop sorta disappears, parts of it appearing when the launcher button is pressed! | 20:25 |
| sinjax | very weird :D | 20:25 |
| abhinavmehta | dryicebomb: did that…intact I changed my Movies folder pointing to a single mp4 file folder…just to check…and refreshed but not seeing that working. | 20:25 |

| bazhang | dudol, install kubuntu-desktop, and choose from login window | 20:27 |
| dudol | bazhang, how do I do that? | 20:27 |
| dryicebomb | abhinavmehta what kind of library did you choose? I would try "Home Movies" If you choose "Tv Shows" it likes the files to be named for example Simpsons - S01E10 - episode name.mp4 or something to that extent. | 20:28 |

| Bruce0 | I have done two systems 11.10 - 12.04, both servers with some differences. Mostly the install was clean, and told me it was removing 12? incompatible packages, and upgrading... some number. And it lets you list them. I was just referred to a nice page that explains the kernel differences well https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuServer#PrecisePangolin.2BAC8-ReleaseNotes.2BAC8-CommonInfrastructure.Linux_v3.2.14_Kern | 20:30 |

| fishbait | does anyone know the telinit for hibernate? | 20:46 |
| fishbait | i know 0 is shutdown 6 is reboot | 20:46 |
| TransitTycoon | MonkeyDust: Just routing it through the speakers does not accomplish that. | 20:47 |
| fishbait | 2-5 are runlevels | 20:47 |
| bazhang | !runlevel | fishbait | 20:47 |
| ubottu | fishbait: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 20:47 |
| fishbait | if i issue telinit 0 it'll shutdown if issue telinit 6 it'll reboot whats the telinit for hibernate? | 20:48 |

| jrib | rhizmoe: when you just use "gedit" what happens that you don't want? | 20:52 |
| abhinavmehta | dryicebomb: did stop-start…and now trying simpler use-case, of just adding mp3…that too not working. | 20:53 |
| abhinavmehta | dryicebomb: also now I kept that mp3 in a folder with no-space separated path eg. /home/abhinav/test …earlier it was /home/abhinav/my movies…but that too not solved the problem. | 20:54 |
| fishbait | okay fglrx is good and r8168 is functioning now how do i make the dns servers permanent | 20:54 |
| fishbait | and for the love of pete no chmod stuff | 20:55 |

| NelsonM | I fixed my slow SMB server problem in 12.04. The solution was to remove the line I'd added before of "socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192". that used to be a good thing for performance, not sure why it's not now. | 21:11 |
| fishbait | i use static settings | 21:11 |
| BluesKaj | fishbait, try it and see ...works for me without NM | 21:12 |
| dryicebomb | abhinavmehta: one last thought. Is your media local to the server? or is it on a network share or usb device? | 21:12 |

| wylde_ | despoena: just got back and my make here finished with no problem. Just don't use their install script. | 22:07 |

| despoena | wylde, which solution are you using ? | 22:08 |
| wylde_ | manual | 22:08 |
| despoena | install latest alsa or another solution? | 22:09 |

| ChTiPowA | proc my real concern is i need to modify a Lossless webM made with Kazam Screencaster to reduce audio noises. But i've found no editor so far to do it. So i edited with Audacity which can export back to .WAVE for example but when i wan to put the .WAVE file back again on the original video, then for encoding i got everytimes crappy result maybe because i'm noob on encoding i don't know... but this is frustrating as my original video looks almost perfect. | 22:41 |

| ChTiPowA | Jordan_U: please last question : Do you know to create .SH Script ? I would like to re-use the same syntax forever and call a .SH to do the job. | 22:55 |
| Jordan_U | ChTiPowA: You're welcome. You might want to be sure that the audio track actually was transcoded to vorbis though because 1: I'm not sure that WAV should really be used in webm and 2: WAV files are huge, transcoding to vorbis would save space without noticeable loss of quality. | 22:56 |
| ChTiPowA | Jordan_U: Yes i have exported to OGG Quality 10 and imported back to the video and it works fine :) | 22:57 |
| proc_ | Jordan_U easy, Just do this ffmpeg -i input.webm -codec:v copy -an output.webm. That will get rid of your sound. Now you need to encode your new sound and drop it in like this. ffmpeg -i input.webm -codec:v copy -acodec libvorbis -aq 50 output.webm output.webm. | 22:59 |
| ChTiPowA | Jordan_U: now i'd like to re-use same command forever but by calling 2 variables like conv.sh file1 file2 | 22:59 |
| ChTiPowA | proc_ this is done by this video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqe7uuXK8dk i've tried it and it works ^^ | 23:00 |
| proc_ | Jordan_U you are not re encoding your video. You are first stripping out the audio with -an . The you are encoding the sound using vorbis. | 23:00 |
