[00:17] kkimlabs: the most traditional is called a chroot jail [00:17] SolarisBoy, I think that requires root [00:17] not really like if you do it under your home - but if you want a full chroot with mounted devs and such yea === alecm__ is now known as alecm_ [00:18] got flash to work [00:18] blah... damn b43 driver [00:18] 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?

[00:26] yeah right, and that's probably ok, since most linux programs are open sourced [00:26] right [00:27] but I'm not planning to open source, and I think,. if I were a user, I would worry that possibility [00:27] I need to mount Ubuntu to a specific partition.

But I did -recursive preserve, so they should not be this way [01:57] escott, can you help me or not?? [01:57] I've tried using the b43 drivers, the STA drivers, and ndiswrapper [01:57] 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] this is being very off because this USED TO WORK [01:58] escott: That's interesting. I was running 12.04 without any problems [01:58] escott, nvm, I'll spend more time finding out myself [01:58] 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] sirriffsalot_, that will change ownership so that the files are yours [01:58] not change === chris__0076 is now known as chris_0076 [01:59] escott: I'm not super familiar with the filesystem, but looking at the boot info, does not deteching the MBR on sda1 pose a problem?

[02:10] fishcooker, on 10.04? [02:11] fishcooker, do you have some reason to want a newer kernel? [02:11] fishcooker, something that isnt working? [02:11] fishcooker, upgrade version to get the newer kernel [02:12] can i get help running a .run? i want to install new nvidiadriver but no ppa for it yet [02:13] i want to save the battery consumption actually escott [02:13] KRomo: chmod +x *.run [02:13] then ./*.run [02:13] 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] ok [02:14] sacarlson1: is it rite that 12.04 consume more power than 10.04 [02:14] ? [02:14] 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] it says it must be run in root [02:15] fishcooker: I don't know about the power, you can easily try it for yourself and find out [02:15] then sudo it [02:15] now it says You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before [02:15] installing. [02:16] 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] so would it be best to at for it to hit sw manager? [02:16] wait === alecm__ is now known as alecm_ [02:17] KRomo, jockey is the recommended way [02:18] why does it take so long for it to hit ubuntu ppa? [02:18] could someone help me- somehow during an update. my system decided to die.. [02:18] now when i try to do sudo, it says i am not apart of the sudoers file [02:18] amoungst other things, but that is what worries me at the moment [02:19] subcool: I think they changed the suders groups now have to add your user to suders instead of admin [02:19] or it's sudo group? [02:19] is there a channel for beginner's help? [02:20] sacarlson1, sudo group, but its supposed to work for people upgrading [02:20] sacarlson1, ok... um.. how might i do that quickly? :) [02:20] walkkenn, here [02:20] KRomo: what version of the nvidia driver are you trying to install? [02:22] this upgrade also killed my network menu , although im connected via wire, it says im not [02:22] and i have no control over wireless [02:22] subcool, you'll need to boot a livecd or rescue mode to fix anything, but you should look at the output of "groups" and see what the contents of the sudoers file is [02:22] escott, says im in there [02:23] !pm | fishcooker and whatever version you are most comfortable with [02:23] fishcooker and whatever version you are most comfortable with: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [02:23] subcool, maybe pam broke [02:23] wouldnt be surprised.. i have having small issues when updating- somehow i ran out of room.. [02:23] but at the same time.. it "finished" so i preformed autoremove, [02:24] for which the system then completed its update?? [02:24] how do i fix this.. [02:24] this is crazy [02:24] I have a new install of Maya/64 bit (unbuntu 12) sometimes the cursor freezes and I get a black screen, I need help troubleshooting it - I'm afraid I don [02:24] I'm afraid I don't have much experience [02:24] walkkenn, what is maya [02:25] linux-mint 13 based on ubuntu 12.4 === alecm___ is now known as alecm_ [02:25] !mint | walkkenn [02:25] walkkenn, mint not supported here [02:25] walkkenn: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [02:25] wow- this thing is hurt... [02:25] I need some info on acessing the Ubuntu Software Center API @ http://software-center.ubuntu.com/api/2.0/ Does anybody here have experience with this or can direct me to someone that does? === gfdsg is now known as WilsonStudioWeb [02:26] subcool, you have to be careful with autoremove [02:26] subcool, i would chroot in from a livecd and see if you need to reinstall anything [02:27] i cant do that- but.. im not sure how what id have to fix etc.. [02:27] let me get my liveusb- and get this started [02:27] i cant believe this broke === tdubz_ is now known as thomas [02:28] when the repository has a corrupt or truncated file, how should one report that? [02:29] I'm able to pull 220 some software titles in JSON format from http://software-center.ubuntu.com/api/2.0/applications/en/ubuntu/precise/i386/ and I'm write a web interface for browsing. Sample here http://wilsonstudioweb.dyndns.org:8888/ubuntu.cfm I need to know how to pull detail for individual programs. [02:29] WilsonStudioWeb, software titles? [02:29] what would be the API URL to return JSON format for this? [02:29] yes === alecm___ is now known as alecm_ [02:30] WilsonStudioWeb, what are you trying to do there [02:30] Skaperen, hash sum mismatch? [02:30] err I do not need to know how. I need to know the proper URL. Can't find any documentation on this. [02:31] WilsonStudioWeb, why and what are you trying to do [02:31] Why, sample here on my dev server http://wilsonstudioweb.dyndns.org:8888/ubuntu.cfm === fernando is now known as Guest11608 [02:31] Ok I logged I'm on my phone [02:32] WilsonStudioWeb, you want to mirror a repo? state clearly what you are trying to do [02:32] 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] sure, a minor repo [02:32] WilsonStudioWeb, you want a webui for the usc then [02:32] So what am I supposed to do here again [02:32] /quit [02:33] How do I ch root my system [02:33] I'm working on building a software site similar to android app center. or Tucows. [02:33] use the chroot command as needed you mean subcool ? [02:33] WilsonStudioWeb: there are no URLs in that JSON file? [02:33] subcool, so sudo gives the not in the sudoers error, but groups lists you in a group listed in /etc/sudoers [02:33] Except it is for ubuntu. There isn't hardly any out there for Ubuntu [02:34] Escott ya [02:34] WilsonStudioWeb: why not just download the repo index files and learn how to parse their format [02:35] 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] Because there is obviously a web service out there. I'm already pulling from it. Just isn't any documentation on it. [02:35] I just logged in under live USB [02:36] WilsonStudioWeb: I didn't read docs for the Ubuntu repo index format ... I just looked and figured it out [02:36] JSON looks pretty simple [02:36] 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] ubuntu repo != JSON ... but is also simple [02:37] I don't need JSOn help I need proper URL [02:37] URL for one? go through one example [02:37] to retrieve the json [02:37] a URL per app? [02:37] escott i really dont know what to do here, lol - i was working on two other things when this happened. [02:37] yes [02:37] per app to get the info [02:38] on the app [02:38] I know they don't do that ... url per app [02:38] not to do with ubuntu, but stuff. so i am not in the zone right now [02:38] even in liveusb i have to mount the drive as something else? [02:38] there is no url per app in the report or software center [02:38] 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] subcool-liveusb, you have to mount it. then you can sudo chroot /that/mountpoint === invisiblek_ is now known as invisiblek [02:39] Hmmm, I find that hard to believe. I would think that there has to be but I could be wrong [02:39] WilsonStudioWeb: if you are making your own website, then make your own database [02:39] lol [02:39] WilsonStudioWeb: there isn't a URL per app because that's not efficient [02:40] the software center app itself wants data in bulk, not piecemeal, so the design is not based on url per app === gladius_ is now known as gladii [02:40] jease- and i was just about to root my gf's phone- seriously? ugh [02:40] i have webchat [02:41] the only URL per app is the actual package itself (e.g. the .deb files) [02:41] you want to download all the packages? [02:41] I don't want to dowload anything. Just provide URLs for the downloads [02:42] Just building a web interface for the app center moreless [02:42] you wan the URL of the .deb file so you can put it on a page where someone can click to download it [02:42] packages.ubuntu.com WilsonStudioWeb [02:43] ok- well then how about i just find a way to fix my sudo's so i can update again or something- really cant try to fix this like crazy. idk what im doing- and.. its getting late.. [02:43] Skaperen, he wants to make an app store for ubuntu [02:43] the urls are in the package index files from the repo ... I have not look inside stuff at software center to know the schema there === alecm__ is now known as alecm_ [02:43] WilsonStudioWeb, I gave you the url, get them there [02:43] bazhang: download ubuntu apps, duplicate then, and make cheap pirate copies ... sounds like a plan [02:44] subcool-liveusb, cant really tell you how to fix it until we figure out whats wrong [02:44] 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] escott: so i have to log back into normal user? [02:44] WilsonStudioWeb, no one will install those untrusted packages from a 3rd party source [02:45] ok- rebooting.. [02:45] Yeah, those ideas sound very easy for linux newbies. Perhaps partialy why it is so hard for Linux to gain popularity. [02:45] sighs [02:45] WilsonStudioWeb: in other words, a "tour ubuntu software center before you decide to try ubuntu" website [02:45] WilsonStudioWeb, the ubuntu software centre does that already [02:45] i have no clue on how to fix this.. this is a bit beyond my dumb brain.. [02:45] WilsonStudioWeb, at any rate. good luck. lets take the chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic Now [02:45] he wants to do it online for people that have not decided yet to try ubuntu [02:46] Correct, I know it does but it could be done better. [02:46] 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] the interface that is [02:46] frontend [02:46] #ubuntu-offtopic sounds good [02:46] WilsonStudioWeb, yeah, this is not on topic any more [02:47] xangua: I would like something like that ... or better yet, the ability to click a box for "output to all output devices" [02:48] I'd like to output to my sound card and USB speakers and USB headset at the same time [02:48] 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 [02:49] say two people are at a computer and both want to hear the same audio in the USB headphones each wears [02:50] 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] Escott, where do I begin [02:51] configure the controllers as JBOD [02:51] subcool, how about "groups" [02:51] Skaperen: How do I do that? Do I need to change jumpers? [02:51] My user is in the groups, escott [02:51] I don't know because I don't know what you mean by 'fake' [02:51] Ansikt, go into the bios (or however you setup the controllers) and disable the raid [02:52] 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. [02:53] Ansikt, shrug... you'll have to check the manual for your hardware [02:54] 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] why do you want to do LVM? [02:54] Ansikt, i doubt that the kernel has any way to control the hardware [02:54] 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] that controller does not look 'fake' [02:55] Skaperen, it is we looked it up yesterday [02:55] 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] i used th updated version [02:55] Skarperen: The other is Promise Fasttrak PDC 20378 [02:56] Hmm... Im trying to lock a Chromium config file to prevent making changes but the rights to the file keeps changing [02:56] I have no idea how to configure specific controllers to operate in JBOD mode [02:56] Escott, should I delete then re add my user?, can I even do anything root === slowz_ is now known as sl0wz [02:57] 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] 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] subcool, i dont know enough to tell you want to do. you havent really shown us anything [02:57] escott even my kdeinnit crashes now during boot- [02:58] escott- i dont know what to show you.. lol - [02:58] subcool_, but it sounds like you have a lot of problems so you might just want to reinstall anyways [02:58] 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] subcool_, "groups" for one [02:58] escott ~$ groups [02:58] subcool adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare [02:59] i cant reinstall- i was in the midst of backing things up when this all crashed.. [02:59] Skaperen: Right again, they are. [02:59] i dont really have everything backed up as of now.. [02:59] 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 [03:00] 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] 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] Ansikt: they do it more on Linux, probably because Linux drives them harder [03:00] 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] escott i just tried to report a crash, and it says kded isnt running or something [03:01] I've heard that Areca brand controllers are reliable and fast ... but also pricey ... available on newegg [03:01] 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/ [03:02] but if you are trying to make things work with what you have, then you are limited to that [03:02] Hello Earthlings! [03:03] 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 [03:04] So what's up with the google-chrome crashing on cario? Is there a solution yet? [03:04] escott, ~$ /etc/sudoers [03:04] bash: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied [03:04] subcool_, you would have to open that as root from the chroot [03:05] chroot /etc/soders? [03:05] subcool_: are you trying to execute that config file? [03:05] Skaperen, ask escott [03:05] 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] subcool_, what happened to sudo chroot /media/ubuntu in the livecd? [03:05] my window borders dissaperead [03:06] fastest way to get them back is? [03:06] subcool_, from root 'cat /etc/sudoers' [03:06] escott, i didnt run it- u said to run things from the comp [03:06] Not just '/etc/sudoers' [03:06] 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] shadykhan: Restart your windows manager? [03:07] justnull it stopped working when i started up steam :/ [03:07] escott: I'm also not trying to raid. I don't really care about fault tolerence. [03:07] Ansikt, sudo is busted [03:07] escott: I just want to glob them together [03:07] 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] subcool_: are you on ubuntu? [03:07] Ansikt, yes [03:07] Ansikt, so you want JBOD? you can do JBOD with mdadm or with LVM === Htbrdd is now known as zz_Htbrdd [03:08] escott: Yes, I do. Mdadm does JBOD? Which would you suggest? [03:08] hey.. ubuntu starts in low graphics mode.. help? [03:08] subcool_: restart and then do recovery mode/safestart. Then select "login as root" or "singleuser mode" or somesuch. [03:09] Nicekiwi: which video card and chip? [03:09] Ansikt, gotta be a lil more specific- sorry.. been a long time since i f'ed up linux like this [03:09] Ansikt, im not too familiar with the pros and cons of JBOD options honestly [03:09] Skaperen: Nvidia 9600GT [03:09] Ansikt, is there a recovery in grub? [03:09] Nicekiwi: how new is that? [03:10] tyt [03:10] escott: S'cool. But either way, I still have to get rid of the raid controllers, somehow. [03:10] Nicekiwi: are you using the nvidia driver or nouveau ? [03:10] i tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958899 and still no net connection various info http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036551/ [03:10] 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. [03:11] subcool, what is your definition of a recovery, linux recovery is different then a windows recovery. [03:11] Skaperen: 2008, i belive nouveau. The install is very new. I havnt install Nvidia drivers [03:11] Ansikt, so-- i have to F8 to get there? [03:11] i have never gone to recovery mode.. [03:11] Nicekiwi: how does the LiveCD behave on that? [03:11] i think there is an option in grub... ;? [03:12] Nicekiwi: 12.04 LiveCD that is [03:12] 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] Nicekiwi: maybe removed one you should not have :-( [03:13] hi. [03:13] No. At grub menu, move down to "Ubuntu Linux kernel x.x.xx (recovery mode)" or something [03:13] I'm installing ubuntu on a mac using "alternative" mac cd image. [03:13] Skaperen: maybe, i dont know what though.. :/ nothing serious was removed. Ive removed Unity before with no effects.. [03:13] I cannot install grub onto the "freebsd-ufs" ("bios_grub") partition. [03:13] It'll be the same as the entry you normally use, but with "(recovery mode)" tacked on at the end [03:13] 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. [03:14] Nicekiwi: I've not tried removing Unity, yet ... I use Xubuntu and it doesn't need to have Unity removed [03:14] 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] that "freebsd-ufs" partition has 1MB big, and is located before my linux partitions.

[03:18] wilee-nilee: grub failed to install because one of the packages had a persistent checksum error [03:18] Skaperen, you had the messed up sources.list and you used the web link to make a new one right. [03:19] Skaperen, I woold need a link, but it sounds like you are fixed. [03:19] not the sources.list thing (didn't see that one) [03:19] hi [03:19] subcool_ Oh, alright.

[04:10] ladweeba: you can do a special live-setup on flash same as booting from a cd. + a save file. [04:10] so I will have to google so I can understand how I can setup to usb flash [04:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036605/ someone asked me to paste ifconfig -a [04:10] ladweeba: or you can do a regular full install. same as you would to a normal hard drive [04:10] Ok, I'm loading some other distro. ubuntu is not suitable for a virtual appliance.

[04:11] i rarely use recovery mode [04:11] gah [04:11] I have to admit I like the idea of the 32 GB flash drive usage. [04:11] I hate things that lie to me. [04:12] i thinkr ecovery is ro - so you an do fscking. theres a menu item in its settings to go to rw [04:12] but... mount says rw. [04:12] 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] If ubuntu has some layer that ignores /proc.... that's bad. [04:12] i would have booted a live cd and fixed rc.local allready by now... [04:13] i have to wonder wehat is in rc.local that keeps the system from booting.. its the last service to start.

[04:47] you mean resize stuff, Dr_Willis? [04:47] sainy, boot the install cd. select "try ubuntu first." start gparted. then you can resize partitions [04:47] ahhh there it is from escott [04:48] no misspells [04:48] the misspells can sometimes throw you off [04:48] worse is the auto-correction on the phone.. [04:48] I know [04:49] especially when it tries to convert bash commands into other words.. [04:51] sainy: be sure to make backups beofr you resize things [04:51] no luck added my dns servers to resolv.conf still ping -c 6 www.google.com returns unknown host [04:51] fishbait: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? [04:51] fishbait: did you put "nameserver " [04:52] yes i can ping 8.8.8.8 but it all return destination host unreachable and yes i put namserver before them [04:53] well if you can't ping ip then you have no internet connection at all [04:53] however i can ping my router [04:53] at 192.168.100.100 [04:54] then you have no NAT [04:55] do... "sudo route add default gw 192.168.100.100 " [04:55] Anyone use a new Thinkpad T430 or T530 or X230 with Ubuntu? === Dorito is now known as lolwut [04:55] as === lolwut is now known as Dorito === Brandon is now known as OccupyDemonoid === ccmonster is now known as Guest97969 [04:56] okay ping -c 6b 8.8.8.8 returns 0% packet loss testing browser [04:57] success!!!!!!! [04:57] this problem has plagued me through 3 distros [04:57] you need to set up a static ip or set up dhcp correctly [04:57] and its solved ty ty ty! [04:58] hmm how? [04:58] i use dhcp === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest44498 [04:58] and i added eth0 to /etc/network/interfaces [04:59] i'll see if adding eth0:avahi will work [04:59] well you could make it static, and set the gateway in /etc/network/interfaces as well [05:00] would that ruin wake on lan? b/c its cool that i can turn on my pc from my phone [05:00] fishbait: Static IP just means your ISP won't change your IP when you reboot your router. [05:01] okay should i use dnsmasq for dns or just use normal dns? [05:02] i'm runnign dd-wrt on an e3000 [05:02] in the file its inet static right? [05:13] ok laptop is now static set need help setting the static in ubuntu [05:13] ip that is [05:14] and the machine name... [05:16] Hi, I always have intermittent problems of losing internet connection with 12.04 64-bit on the Macbook Pro 5.1. The wireless icon shows the connection to the router but packets just don't come in. Computers on the same wireless network are okay. Any ideas? [05:19] if iset the same static ip settings for eth0 and eth0:avahi both with the same mac address per ifconfig -a will they conflict? [05:19] What is the package name for the printer manager? [05:20] if iset the same static ip settings for eth0 and eth0:avahi both with the same mac address per ifconfig -a will they conflict? [05:20] laurus: for hp printers?

[05:25] if iset the same static ip settings for eth0 and eth0:avahi both with the same mac address per ifconfig -a will they conflict? === Frood_ is now known as Frood [05:25] whittenc is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [05:25] doh [05:26] hashset: you should on group sudo [05:26] To print, a user must be a member of group lpadmin ? [05:26] in etc netowrk interfaces how do i set dns? [05:26] Or other groups as well? [05:26] fishbait_: are you using static iP? [05:26] yes [05:26] fishbait_: then set it in /etc/resolv.conf as you are not using DHCP, the file will be unmodified [05:27] blackshirt: what is that? new to linux [05:27] hmm okay i'll try it again [05:27] btw can i have 3 dns instead of 2 or will that error it/ [05:28] hashset: that was special group (sudoers) that has access to system administration instead using root regularly [05:28] fishbait_: the maximum is 3, they will be used in the order they appear in the file (top to bottom) [05:28] okay [05:28] blackshirt: it's called 'admin' not 'sudo' [05:29] i just upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 from 10.04 ... is LXDE or XFCE better [05:29] i'm using conmdo filtered dns but the 3rd one is a google dns just in case [05:29] 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] tking0036: there is no outright better, you can install the desktops and try them, see what you think [05:30] I wish they would let me have my gnome 2 back... [05:30] tking0036: seriously [05:30] gnome2 is dead.. ;) time to move on [05:30] im going to use lxde i think... its pretty similar to what i am used to [05:30] is there a way to put the bar on bottom instead of left? [05:31] 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] tking0036: xfce has the gnome2 smell [05:31] 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] ok.. ill take a look at xfce [05:31] for old skool look - lubuntu, or xubuntu,. :) [05:31] 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] 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] thats what i think [05:32] and has nothing better to click on things with than their stubby fingers === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [05:32] CarlFK: you don't have to use the default shells [05:32] is ubuntu 10.04 still supported? [05:32] Cale: they have allways don stuff just because gthey could. [05:32] tking0036: yes [05:32] hmm does another gui have a bar? [05:32] fishbait_: look into xfce, you'll probably find it fits the bill [05:32] okay. [05:32] can i get the 3.20 kernel on ubuntu 10.04 [05:32] fishbait_: an image search will show you te score [05:33] what are you talking about? [05:33] tking0036: its not supported in Lucid. It has a different kernel. [05:33] tking0036: Yeah, if you compile it yourself [05:33] my laptop has the intel hd 3000 graphics and i think they are better supported under the newer kernel [05:33] 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 [05:34] tking0036, you gan get 3.0.0-20 [05:34] best to just upgrade the whole os [05:34] thats what i assumed [05:34] newer video card.. newer drivers.. need newer X.. needs newer kernel... [05:35] for some reason resolv.conf won't hold changes across boots. any other ideas? [05:35] fishbait_: are any of your interfaces using DHCP? [05:35] not according to etc network interfaces it loopback static static [05:36] ugh, these processes aren't children of metacity, I don't understand why they'd be killed when I kill it [05:37] 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] metacity --replace kills them? [05:37] (and sends me back to a login screen after a delay) [05:37] on another note it won't conifgure network during boot it always waits 60 seconds related/ [05:38] metacity --replace won't work if the running metacity is frozen [05:38] I have to kill it, and as soon as there's no WM, it drops all my running programs on the floor [05:38] (which makes no sense) [05:40] To print, a user must be a member of what group ? [05:40] Hello, could anyone help me Im having some issues with installing Ubuntu and I cant resolve them no matter what I try :( [05:41] details? ;) [05:41] for some reason resolv.conf won't hold changes across boots. any other ideas? [05:41] fishbait_: may help http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ [05:43] 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 [05:44] Adonis: is your ubuntu drive /dev/sda ? [05:44] 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. [05:45] nope, i just checked it then [05:45] CarlFK: if you make a fresh ubuntu user, is it the same? [05:45] i think i mayhave confused the insteller/os with some major repartitioning [05:45] rebooting now time to test it [05:45] Adonis: that's why then, isn't it [05:45] i think so, ive tried the other partitions but it doesnt seem to work on them either [05:46] ive also seen BIOS 'anti virus' protection mess with grub [05:46] Does anyone know why NFS would be squashing UIDs when no_all_squash,no_root_squash are set? [05:46] why am i getting waiting for network configuration during boot? [05:46] is it best to let ubuntu select you partitioning for you? [05:46] Adonis: depends on your needsand skill level. [05:46] Adonis: if it suits your needs, yes [05:47] i got linux on its own second hard drive. so i do it by hand [05:47] it just finished install and now its restarted and just stalled at blank screen with blinking curser [05:47] i do it by hand because i want to have lvm inside dmcrypt dual booting with truecrypted windows [05:48] anyone familiar with a "flip queue failed" error? [05:48] seems to be related to Intel chipset GM45 [05:48] some research has indicated that I can fix it by disabling page flipping, does anyone know how/where I can do that? [05:48] probably in xorg.conf [05:49] !nomodeset | Adonis [05:49] 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 [05:50] how the f*** is it OK to have outdated chromium in repos… [05:50] tjpoe: look at this... it is for natty but it still might work: http://tinyurl.com/c97uwqq [05:50] tjpoe: this guy hacked xorg-server so it disables page flipping [05:50] slikts: whatch your language [05:51] why am i getting waiting for netowrk configuration during boot? [05:51] fishbait_: because you have a networkconfig in /etc/network/interfaces which cant be started at boot (mostly wifi) [05:52] @iceroot i'm on static ip on a wired interface [05:52] fishbait_: maybe the interface is not up at that time [05:52] it's just negligence, chromium has exploits… [05:52] hmm maybe [05:52] fishbait_: if you are using a gui, try to remove the config from that file and use networkmanager instead [05:53] slikts: so do many other apps... [05:53] slikts: have a look at the changelog if the fixes are backported [05:53] slikts: just compile the new version yourself [05:53] is possible to use command line network manager ? [05:53] blackshirt: sure, wicd-curses is fantastic [05:53] ActionParsnip: so that's an excuse to have an outdated version? wtf! [05:53] slikts: trolling on irc isnt going to accomplish anything [05:53] blackshirt, yes.. its nmcli.. and 1 or two others , nm [05:53] i'm in terminal nano into /etc/network/interfaces [05:53] slikts: again, stop that language [05:53] i think there is prob with my raid configuration and where grub is installing [05:53] slikts: and look at the changelog [05:53] slikts: report a bug and mark it as a security risk. Easy [05:53] ActionParsnip: for usb hsdpa modem ? [05:54] slikts: ranting in here does less than zero [05:54] slikts: ubuntu is backporting security updates so you dont have to do a major update mostly [05:54] jagginess: what packages provides it ? [05:54] blackshirt: last I checked, wicd doesn't like 3G but it may have changed [05:54] shouldnt grub install on same partition as ubuntu? [05:54] blackshirt, i'm not sure if settigns can be made with it.. it's there by default [05:54] slikts: apt-get changelog packagename [05:54] Adonis: it can. but dosent hve to [05:54] Adonis: not necessarily [05:54] ActionParsnip: exactly ? [05:54] blackshirt: how do you mean? [05:54] every time i try it brings up error.... [05:55] jaggines: what packages provide nmcli ? [05:55] blackshirt: there is nm-cli too buti've not used it [05:55] Adonis: on the same mbr/drive.. you mean. you normally put grub on sda, not sda1 for example [05:55] W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric-security_main_source_Sources Hash Sum mismatch [05:55] huh? [05:55] asks me to select anoth drive, but i have 4 drives in raid [05:55] ActionParsnip: wicd-curses can be used for usb hsdpa modem ? [05:55] slikts: sudo apt-get upda [05:55] slikts: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036671/ [05:55] slikts: sudo apt-get update [05:55] yes, that's what I ran [05:55] blackshirt: is it 3G? [05:56] iceroot: that's what produces that error [05:56] slikts: the command list I gave should help [05:56] ActionParsnip: yes, 3G GSM network [05:56] slikts: try to rerun [05:56] I did [05:56] blackshirt: I'm not sure wicd can use 3G, check their site [05:56] same error [05:56] if i use live cd how do i intall grub to main ubuntu partition apt-get install grub? [05:56] 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] slikts: whom are you addressing??? [05:56] ActionParsnip: what is that script? [05:56] !fixgrub | Adonis [05:56] Adonis: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[05:56] Adonis: sudo grub-install /dev/sda [05:57] slikts: its the command list from the fix packages ubuntu page [05:57] slikts: I can give you a damn link to the same stuff if you want? It's all the same [05:57] ActionParsnip: you gave me a damn link to a cryptic script w/o comments [05:57] slikts: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure step 5 [05:58] slikts: stop this language [05:58] slikts: same thing in a convenient link [05:58] i'm in terminal nano into /etc/network/interfaces add my 3 dns server using dns-nameservers [05:58] slikts: I can fill it with all kinds of comments, won't change what it actually does [05:58] fishbait_: dont but dns there [05:58] ActionParsnip: i think wicd doesn't support 3g [05:58] blackshirt: then try nm-cli [05:58] where then/ resolv.conf wipes every boot. [05:59] blackshirt: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/moinmoin/3GUsbModem shows how to connect [05:59] fishbait_: what if you make it read only :) [05:59] hmm i wonder. [05:59] thanks ActionParsnip [06:00] tking0036: i've added that PPA, but when I do an apt-get upgrade, the xorg package isn't upgraded [06:00] slikts: see what I mean, which is easier to use? [06:00] i tried to check grub and it says "unsupported RAID level :255. [06:01] Adonis, you using raid? [06:01] yea [06:01] ActionParsnip: the real question is why is it suddenly necessary… but thanks [06:01] is that a prob? [06:01] Adonis, you should use no less than grub2 [06:01] slikts: the files can get corrupted [06:01] slikts: so the command wipes them all out then rebuilds them [06:01] I ran the script, and it seems to do nothing [06:01] how do i see what my drive is called in console [06:01] slikts: its working away, let it bake [06:01] slikts: http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?57567-Ubuntu-problems-on-update [06:02] Adonis: sudo fdisk -l [06:02] Adonis: sudo blkid may give you the info [06:02] how do i make it readonly i'm not owner >.> [06:02] Adonis, raid is an advanced topic, it's support isn't available with the desktop iso, but rather the server iso.. [06:02] yup, chromium-browser is severely out of date and probably exploitable, last updates are months ago, GREAT JOB [06:03] fdisk -l says "WARNING" GPT detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesnt support GPT. USE GNU parted.... [06:03] fishbait_: its actually a symlink [06:03] slikts: report a bug, ranting in here achieves nothing [06:03] then how do i make read only? [06:03] slikts: greater job [06:03] ActionParsnip: afaik it's known already [06:04] fishbait_: sudo chmod 400 /etc/resolv.conf [06:04] okay trying now [06:04] like hard for novice user like me [06:04] Adonis: try sudo blkid [06:04] slikts: then you have 2 choices. Change browser or live with the bug [06:04] look hard [06:04] wait for the updates [06:04] okay executed now executing sudo telinit 6 [06:05] telinit 6? how.. old skool. ;) [06:05] ActionParsnip: one another choice is raise awareness that ubuntu has ridiculous security practices [06:05] that is offtopic here [06:05] I'm sure you don't like that [06:05] yeah well i came from a debian with no gui [06:05] >.> [06:06] slikts: this is support only, not pointless moaning [06:06] yep, I know [06:07] i did see a firefox update th eother day. ;) now people cant quit asking abbout it.. i hope. [06:07] bbl [06:07] 20 seconds to desktop then we find out if it worked [06:07] once I have added a custom PPA, how do I install the package if the current package is newer than the one from the PPA? [06:08] tjpoe: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install packagename [06:08] <.< it didn'work [06:08] that tells me the "it is already the newest version" [06:08] fishbait_: have you considered wicd-curses, it's dead handy in CLI [06:09] i think the "fix" from the PPA is actually a downgrade [06:09] tjpoe: have you checked the version on the ppa? [06:09] Im gonna try re install again and look carefully at which drive my grub is installed to!

[06:21] dandaman1: so I use it :) [06:21] any other way to "disable page flipping" seems like the problem exists even in the newest version of Ubuntu. [06:21] ActionParsnip: oh shit, sold [06:22] dandaman1: transdroid dude, or torrentfu [06:22] i do that with utorrrent and torrent fu [06:22] code 3478 [06:22] most torrent clients have the same feature sets these days.. not seen a lot that make any stand out [06:23] didn't owkr and now its lost my config [06:23] i know my self am looking 4 another opition [06:24] am leaving [06:24] Dr [06:24] hmm?

[06:27] why is it a symlink? [06:27] meaning what did that? [06:27] L3top: bo [06:28] L3top: its default [06:28] okay trying 777 [06:28] not... on... anything I own...

[06:30] L3top: its rare ;) [06:30] some one here is connecting ar nuc [06:31] don't say i did worn u [06:31] fishbait_: you could of course delete the link and make resolv.conf be a file [06:31] gts: do you have a support issue? [06:31] 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 [06:32] Arccchy: add it with the shebang, then run the startup manager and tell it to run the script [06:32] ok [06:32] is there a startup manager in ubuntu server actionparsnip? [06:32] hi gwen [06:33] Arccchy: wouldent you just add it to rc.d [06:33] Arccchy: ahhh then you can use su to run the command as a user in /etc/rc.local [06:33] Arccchy: in future, please state you are using server, or we will assume desktop [06:34] this chat says "@ ubuntu servers" [06:34] Arccchy: lol [06:35] whats the defaul chmod for /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf [06:35] whats the default chmod for /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf [06:35] Arccchy: we do desktops as well [06:35] fishbait_: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172 Jun 12 04:50 /run/resolvconf/resolv.con [06:36] so 172 then? [06:36] oh [06:36] hmm. i dont have that /run/ file. i must have done somthing weird with my networking in the past [06:36] so all I do is add it to the rc.local? [06:36] 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 [06:37] fishbait_: 644 [06:37] is there a specific ubuntu netbook release? [06:37] Arccchy: put the commands in a script. run the script as a user, from rc.local is one way [06:37] fishbait_: r=4, w=2, x=1 [06:37] WindBuntu: not any more [06:37] WindBuntu: not anymore [06:37] okay reboot hope for a miracle here [06:38] zz [06:38] okay thanks [06:38] I have two screens, how can I turn off the bar on the right screen.

[07:02] yes thats what prompted me to do that [07:03] i can't work with out installing them [07:03] fishbait_: could add a command in /etc/rc.local to run: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf [07:03] ActionParsnip: does he need the avahi stuff in there? [07:03] gts: you can't install anything without your password [07:03] L3top: what is avahi? [07:04] well it worked until the whole chmod business [07:04] fishbait_: you could copy one from a liveCD I guess [07:04] i mean the administration pass word [07:04] whats up gayboys [07:04] u all can't help [07:04] !noroot [07:04] what file?

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 [07:05] /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] 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] it is, as I understand it, a second attempt at getting an ipv4 address typically... I believe it is basically a virtual nic. [07:05] faggots [07:05] phantome, We do not support setting a root password.

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] kapz: its massively simple [07:35] Yeah right..

I hate that I have to stick with windows because of that :( [07:39] iulian_: not sure, are there bugs reported for the chip? [07:39] 120 seconds [07:39] in windows it works smoothly [07:39] iulian_: its a completely different OS with completely different support [07:40] in windows r8168 works smoothly in soviet linux i work for r8168 [07:40] ActionParsnip: I will load gparted and fsck. Want me to keep you updated? [07:40] Can some one suggest something for me? [07:40] i just made me lol [07:40] why do application take a long time to open [07:41] 2-4 seconds [07:41] Is there any desktop environment that is easy to use and it's on unity?

It isn't like windows did anything special.

As long as it does not want to remove 300 things [07:52] so how do I safely kill pulse, I need JACK for a project and it needs access too alsa.. [07:52] gartral: you can remove it [07:52] it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop [07:53] gartral: assuming it is not asking to remove everything;-) [07:53] smw-tab: won't is say that it wants too remove said 300 things via apt-get autoremove?

[07:58] smw-tab: This was working, you installed virtualbox, and the MBR was affected?

[08:04] Dr_Willis, how to generate them again i find change of mind ? [08:05] depends on which entry.. make backups of what you change.

[08:08] echo083: then i suggeest you leave them alone. and leave grub alone. i guess.. [08:08] 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 [08:09] 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] echo083: you would be better ude of your time reading the grub docs the bot gave you [08:10] Dr_Willis, i don't care it is boring !! they should have made something more usable [08:10] error4o4: just make sure you dont allow passwordlogin for all [08:10] Dr_Willis, :p [08:10] is it better to create a linux partition, that is a dual boot or install the entire linux over the windows vista.

Lilo was replaced by grub.. and grub2 has repled grub.. syslinux and isolinux are alterantives to grub2 also..

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 [08:16] bazhang, ????? [08:16] echo083, yes? [08:17] bazhang, you said no bad language i'm still waiting about what ?? [08:17] TransitTycoon: what apps have you tried? [08:17] TransitTycoon, what others have you tried. kazam is worth a look [08:17] bazhang, did you try to talk to someone else ? [08:17] <3 kazam [08:17] bazhang: ActionParsnip: both have terrible performance, trying to do a screencast with a heavy cpu app [08:18] echo083, no. you used some foul language earlier. lets move on [08:18] TransitTycoon: both what? I can name about 5 screencast apps..... [08:19] bazhang, i don't exactly see what you are talking about but ok :) [08:19] 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] TransitTycoon: tried Eidete? [08:20] ActionParsnip: *Facepalm* ; my recorder is not the problem. Audio routing is. [08:20] TransitTycoon: or Tibesti?

It doesn't work for me anymore. [08:20] ActionParsnip: what? an artical thatgs not about a new icon theme? ;P [08:21] TransitTycoon: have you set the correct mic as the input device? [08:21] 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] TransitTycoon: not something I do, I am only aware of some of the available apps [08:21] 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] ActionParsnip: ? My mic works, and I can get it to play on the speakers. [08:22] ActionParsnip: But I what I really want, is for my mic input to be recognized as internal audio. [08:22] TransitTycoon: so a 'record what I hear' situation? [08:23] TransitTycoon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJO5rHI6akM may help [08:24] ActionParsnip: Yah, sort of. Internal audio would be any sound that plays on your computer. [08:24] hmm [08:24] TransitTycoon: could even message the author of the vid for some tips :) [08:24] 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] ActionParsnip: I don't think you understand my question [08:25] Dr_Willis kazam doesnt record sound either [08:25] ActionParsnip: I know how to do that already. [08:25] MonkeyDust: well.. baked beans! ;( [08:25] ActionParsnip: But, here is the issue; record what you hear does not apply to you hearing your own microphone ~ [08:26] 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. [08:27] L3top: hmmm, so you are aware of this? IE, internal Audio and Mic not being able to be recorded by one device? [08:27] eg you can only record one input device at a time... (your output becomes an input in this case as well as your mic) [08:29] TransitTycoon: do you have pulse installed? [08:29] As memory serves... it sort of came to be to address this issue... [08:29] 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] L3top: Yah, its a pretty fresh ubuntu install [08:30] I believe pulse is the solution... look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1687396 [08:33] L3top: Wow, looks like you found it; I am impressed === hugodes_afk is now known as hugodes [08:34] i thought jackd+pulse :) but i can barely get jackd working [08:35] i want to be able to talk into my mic. and sound like Mikey Mouse over skype calls... ;) [08:36] Dr_Willis: Why does Jack exist when I have never had any luck getting it to work without a headache? [08:36] i was able to do that years ago with my windows box and creative s.

I never can get it working again [08:37] except, "Record what I hear" didnt include me hearing my mic [08:38] Dr_Willis: download pulseaudio-volume control [08:38] 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] Dr_Willis: And go to record tab [08:38] Yah [08:39] 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] and i got confused ;) [08:39] 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" [08:40] then i was playing with jackd also at the same time following some other guides [08:40] ... that probably did it [08:40] I could never get rosegarden working reliably :( [08:40] but ive not tried this task again in 12.04 [08:42] TransitTycoon technically, a rosegarden question is for this channel, but i guess #ubuntustudio is more suited [08:43] MonkeyDust: It was the issue a few years back, anyways... brb [08:43] sound can still be a mess in ubuntu sadly. ;( [08:43] ActionParsnip, still here?

[08:45] but the grub2 disk from the internet works perfectly... [08:45] 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] smw: the Ubuntu liveCD has all the stuff you need on it, no need for an extra CD.... [08:45] thanks,I just test my ircclient [08:45] ActionParsnip, really? It has something to boot the linux already there? [08:46] ActionParsnip, I needed the grub live cd because the grub installed on my system was not booting [08:46] smw: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/ [08:46] ActionParsnip, and I did not have the livecd, just the alternative install cd [08:47] smw: you can use the alternate CD too, same difference [08:47] ActionParsnip, I did a reinstall of grub! [08:47] ActionParsnip, grub install /dev/sda [08:47] ActionParsnip, it did not work [08:47] smw: when the text installer starts asking for input, press CTRL+ALT+F2 [08:47] smw: you can do a bit more than than in a chroot [08:48] ActionParsnip, whatever, I now have full access to my ubuntu system [08:48] smw: nice :) [08:48] ActionParsnip, do you have recommendations for fixing booting? === toxboi` is now known as toxboi [08:48] ActionParsnip, I don't want to be tied to a live cd to boot... [08:49] smw: that guide is what I recommend to users with grub issues [08:49] ActionParsnip, have you ever seen one where grub did not come up at all? [08:49] thers that boot-repair tool also. and iove also insgtsalled grub to a spare tiny flash drive as a backup 'boot my system' device [08:50] perhaps try installing it to a flash drive as a test [08:50] the bios seems to never pass off to grub. [08:50] smw: tried holding shift at boot? [08:50] ActionParsnip, there is no grub... [08:50] and yes [08:50] smw: then the BIOS sounds like it needs configuring [08:50] I looked, there is no reason in the BIOS [08:51] 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? [08:52] L3top, yes, it has always been enabled [08:52] L3top: The thread didnt solve my problem; it just got me where I am right now. [08:52] L3top, I enabled it a long time ago [08:52] try disabling it. [08:53] ActionParsnip, I even did the same bind commands :-P [08:53] 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 [08:54] smw: what if you run: sudo update-grub in the chroot, did you do that? [08:54] ActionParsnip, yep [08:54] ActionParsnip, but that does not help anyways because that updates the grub.cfg [08:55] and it never gets to that stage [08:55] ActionParsnip, anyways, thanks for the help. I am going to go rebooting/debugging. [08:55] smw: then i'd check your BIOS out [08:55] Hi, I have installed pdnsd in my ubuntu server 12.4 from this link http://jbolos.com/2011/07/speeding-up-internet-browsing-on-linux-using-pdnsd-for-persistent-dns-caching/ but now the clients are not able to ping any domain name, but they are able to ping the IP of a specific domain. Any idea? Thanks. [08:55] ActionParsnip, now that I have a functional desktop, I can test and debug much easier [08:56] How to hide the side menu in unity? [08:56] ActionParsnip, the stuff you mentioned doing are the first things I tried :-) [08:56] ActionParsnip, apparently I know my grub 101 [08:56] ActionParsnip, even though I was making it up on the spot ;-) [08:57] RandomDude123: Which version of Ubuntu are you using, 12.04?

[09:04] shafi: could you pastebin both your /etc/default/pdnsd and /etc/pdnsd.conf? Very hard to say what's going on with pdnsd without those for starters... [09:05] ActionParsnip, it works! [09:05] !uefi [09:05] ActionParsnip, everything is operational. Thanks again [09:05] smw: np :) [09:05] ActionParsnip, damn that scared me to death [09:06] ActionParsnip, I now have another disk to add to my emergency kit :-) [09:06] hello? [09:06] ActionParsnip, I highly recommend the supergrub disk ;-) [09:07] ActionParsnip, more than anything, it let me boot my computer so 1. I knew it was possible and 2. could calm down enough to fix it. [09:07] anybody can see me? [09:07] okay i have installed switch mod but i can't ping my router [09:07] i haven't added any routes [09:07] ActionParsnip, although, if I had not left my laptop at work, I would have been calm :-P [09:07] asd_hitwh_ict: if we say no... ;) [09:07] lol [09:07] its a fresh install with only switch mods installed === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [09:09] ÎÒÊÇÖйúÈË [09:09] aloha all :D [09:09] *sounds of wind* [09:09] i can;t ping my router [09:09] asd_hitwh_ict: People can see you [09:09] asd_hitwh_ict: you have a ubuntu support issue? === diminoten is now known as notdiminoten [09:10] no, i just write a prog by myself [09:10] im in win7 [09:10] sorry to hear that.. have a nie day..

[09:11] ye [09:12] realtek 8111/8168B (rev 03) nic [09:12] ok, i will [09:13] fishbait: and what's happend with the walkthrough that i gave you yesterday? === diminoten is now known as notdiminoten [09:13] this one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958899 [09:14] i have no idea it was working then dns wouldn't stick across boots chmod screwed it up so re-install install switchmod drivers and now this [09:14] that is what i just did [09:14] thanks glitsj16 pleas see the files here: http://pastebin.com/0LuGXLs2 [09:15] shafi: thanks, i'll have a look and report back here [09:15] I have already add my ISP dns in the file [09:15] glitsj16, tnk u [09:15] and then i forced it to 100baseTx-fd to get it to work [09:15] I have a problem where gnome 3 suddenly decided to load classic mode no matter what I select. I have tried reinstalling but still no dice. === notdiminoten is now known as diminoten [09:16] karlhunt: make sure your 3d video drivers are working [09:16] <3 classic mode [09:16] karlhunt, you do that my using the jockey program [09:17] Last I checked, jockey does not tell you if you have 3D acceleration, it simply informs you if there are any restricted drivers available. [09:17] and if they are in use [09:17] chuck_norris followed that walkthough progress but no dicef then mii-tool -F 100baseTx-fd eth0 [09:17] Dr_Willis, I have intel hd 3000 integrated graphics. Everything else graphics related is ok. How do I check? [09:18] and worked there now but can't ping router [09:18] karlhunt: inel are included by default.. so that sort of shoots down the obvious problems [09:19] fishbait: idk, i'm not able to help you [09:19] Question: System wide lag/stutter(even programs already loaded) SATA Hard drive local transfers (Large files) [09:19] 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] well the only difference is that eth0:avahi isn't there [09:21] reboot after miitool -F 100baseTx-fd and magically it works [09:22] that forces it to 100mbps full duplex [09:22] 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 ...

[09:30] how can i install openoffice [09:30] the old version [09:30] libreoffice is different :( [09:31] id say learn libreoffice. === andy_ is now known as Guest61884 [09:31] !openoffice| jamesloiz [09:31] jamesloiz: LibreOffice is a Free and open source office suite that includes word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components. To install: "sudo apt-get install libreoffice". User help available in #libreoffice. [09:31] see? [09:31] hi [09:31] ahum ye [09:31] seems i get a BadSomething error [09:31] Openoffice is basically dead isent it? [09:31] related to X or something [09:32] jamesloiz: it may be in your Xsomthing.log in your home dir [09:32] hi [09:32] hum [09:32] hi hih [09:33] knightrider this is the ubuntu support channel [09:33] why the switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice? [09:33] oracle killed Openoffice dident they? [09:33] x_ because of oracle [09:33] oracle is good at ruining good projects [09:33] i know MonkeyDust , thats for the welcome greeting [09:34] thanks [09:34] x_ guess openoffice is no longer open source, since oracle bought it [09:34] So its ClosedOffice?

Need to figure this out I don't want to reinstall [09:36] I hadn't realized that Oracle bought OpenOffice, MonkeyDust ? Wow. [09:36] x_: they sort of bought SUN... [09:36] hi [09:37] 2 years ago? 3? [09:37] 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] linux microcode update? anyone heard of it? [09:37] im suprised google dident gobble them up. [09:38] x_: the supported fork in Ubuntu is libreoffice, but in theory apache openoffice could make a comeback one day [09:38] gbear14275: what's your actual question? [09:39] gbear14275 better ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [09:39] yeats, MonkeyDust, wondering if its applicable to my system [09:39] 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] :) [09:40] mimicc: desktop? Laptop? sounds like a hardware issue some where [09:40] mimicc: try memtest86 overnight [09:41] 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] mimicc: could be a loose ram stick.. could be most anything. [09:42] mimicc: if you consider ram being an issue - run memtest [09:42] mimicc and use more interpunction to make your questions readable, pls :) [09:42] open it up. dust it out. reseat all ram and cablesd.. look for mice :) [09:42] wasn't sure if ubuntu did anything with the updates... generally... looking for info (google a little thin) [09:43] sorry, flaky hotel wifi [09:43] 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] oh sure! sorry. [09:43] memory good then bad.. id definmatly reseat the ram. [09:43] gbear14275: you'd want to check with your system vendor about that - it's not related to the OS === sig_wall is now known as sig_wal1 [09:43] yeats, you sure... just found this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode [09:44] okay. so the people who make the actual hardware is who i need to talk to? how would i reset ram? [09:44] mimicc: remove ram chip, dust it off. plug it back in. [09:44] sounds simple enough [09:44] rather trivial to do. if you can gete to it [09:44] 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] gbear14275: no idea, sorry [09:44] mimicc: you dont reset ram - you can check if ist connect as expected and then run repeating tests using memtest [09:45] 'reseat' not 'reset' [09:45] yeats, it seems to be a mystery... but glad I found a package relating to it [09:45] !info intel-microcode [09:45] intel-microcode (source: intel-microcode): Processor microcode data file for Intel CPUs.

Much appreciation Dr_Willis! [09:47] I tried apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx as that library is supposed to be part of that package [09:48] gbear14275: I would generally say if your system is running well, don't change anything firmware-related ;-0 [09:48] but still no dice [09:48] .

[09:49] since tests when it started just now came back fine [09:49] mimicc: if its old. a good dusting is worth doing. [09:49] ahh [09:49] will do! I have dust off this is fine right? [09:49] Someone said to keep it running to avoid blowing dust into the hard drive? [09:50] yeats, indeed, thanks for the look [09:51] Hai all, is there any tool in ubuntu that takes ttf font file as input, gives the font information in xml format as output?? [09:53] 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. =) [09:54] 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] unplug from wall befor working on it.

I created a ubuntu 12.04 bootable usb from the pendrive [10:01] finaly aply changes -.- [10:01] phanindraramesh: thats why then. :) you will need to use 'dd' to zero the mbr/drive. then repartition it to use all space. [10:02] phanindraramesh: i bet its still showung up as nan iso9660 filesystem [10:02] gparted might be able to delete the iso9660 fs/partition [10:02] Dr_Willis, I formatted it after installing ubuntu [10:02] see what gparted can do then i guess. [10:02] Dr_Willis, it is showing the flags as boot [10:03] boot flags dont menan much theese days ;) [10:03] id say backup any data you want to keep from it. delete partitons, and remake them as you want [10:05] Dr_Willis, I deteted the partitions. but there are 2 partitions in gparted. How can I add them? === iram is now known as optimisteo [10:06] Dr_Willis, Got it now.

This creates a new session but doesn't attach to it. This is useful for system startup scripts. [10:14] hjsfk432745: you might need to reload the applet (refresh the page) [10:14] MonkeyDust, but, with that command can you attach in to a screen from the bash a process? [10:14] ye stil on [10:15] hjsfk432745: then I have no idea [10:15] hmmmm [10:15] Darkasakerionz i'm not sure i understand the question [10:16] I am using ubuntu 12.04. how/where can I see explanation of color codes in the terminal? [10:16] MonkeyDust, Sorry I have a worst level of English. [10:16] MonkeyDust, the point it's to start a screen and execute an script inside that screen, only with a bash script also [10:17] 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] how to undo a patch in ubuntu?

Suddenly my ubuntu fails to load and I get the error message.. "No init found. Try passing the init=bootarg.

[14:07] what kind of computer ? [14:07] 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] SunSoul: Just install the grub-efi package on livecd, then run "grub-install" appropriately. [14:07] masd, if you're got a 64 bit machine, run 64 bit OS.... [14:07] masd: 64-bit support is good enough, just use that if your hardware supports it. [14:08] trirnoth: Add "@reboot your_command" to your user's crontab. [14:08] theadmin, alright, but do you perform this installation string before installating Ubuntu, or after installing Ubuntu, before restarting your system? [14:08] masd: how much RAM do you have? if it's less then 4GB, i'd use 32. [14:08] mh....... [14:08] SunSoul: After installing, I guess, because Ubiquity puts grub without caring about EFI [14:09] theadmin: cool. thnx. reading up on this now. [14:09] anybody know a windows live messenger for ubuntu where it lets u video chat [14:09] Okey thanks all, but why on the ubunto website the 32 bits version is ( recommended ) [14:09] theadmin, okay. Will give it a try. [14:09] howto reinstall wifi [14:09] because it will work on both 32 and 64 bit hardware [14:09] Guest83298: That question makes no sense.

[14:26] chicognu: that ip is good for at least 87 minits as that's your lease [14:26] mun: with LTS you can upgrade every 2 (or even 4) years [14:26] SunSoul: you mean / or /root ? [14:26] ya des francais [14:27] Dr_Willis [14:27] Correct [14:27] mun: no one is forceing you to update.. [14:27] mun: There are other distros that don't update as often as Ubuntu. [14:27] !lts | mun [14:27] mun: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [14:27] sacarlson, ok, i took note from everything, any new advice before i reboot ? [14:27] hi, [14:27] we get people complaining ubuntu dosent update FAST enough.. ;) [14:27] Hello. [14:28] Dr_Willis, your correct. I mean the /root partition. It is set to 5 GB, should it be any bigger? [14:28] How can i use 'cut' command to get 'http://www.google.com' from line as such 'google website http://www.google.com' [14:28] chicognu: if all else fail try set to the private address range of the cable box to see you can ping it to verify it's not a driver problem [14:28] does someone know wich driver to use with : 04f2:b272 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd Lenovo EasyCamera [14:28] ? [14:28] SunSoul: '/' is the root of the filesstem.. '/root' is the root users home.. 2 very differnt things.. [14:28] it a webcam ... [14:28] Debian Stable which only updates when Haley's comet is visible. [14:28] SunSoul: i would make / at leat 10gb. [14:29] it's* [14:29] !cheese [14:29] hOLA SOY NUEVO [14:29] Hello everyone [14:29] ciao [14:29] !list [14:29] erbiondo76: No warez here!

[14:29] thiebaude: cheese is not a driver ... :) [14:29] My system freezes usually [14:29] HELLO [14:29] Mo0O: for most all webcam.. you normally plug them in and they eitehr work.. or are totally unsupported.. ;() test with cheese [14:29] disk usage is so high that,it does not blink [14:30] 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] How can i use 'cut' command to get 'http://www.google.com' from line as such 'google website http://www.google.com' [14:30] I don't know what is the cause [14:30] it is being caused by update [14:30] Now X.org crashed [14:30] Exploiter: Right-clicking and clicking "Cut" doesn't work? [14:30] sacarlson, ok, i will reboot now, thank you :) [14:30] The weird thing is, I can't actually experience any instability [14:31] how to know what is the cause, normally nautilus i think [14:31] Dr_Willis: I'm not on ubuntu, but I know it works on ubuntu, and I want to know which driver ubuntu use ;-) [14:31] SDXO 5 MB text file. [14:31] How can i use 'cut' command to get 'http://www.google.com' from line as such 'google website http://www.google.com' (all words after http word) [14:31] Hi! [14:31] The only reason I know that X.org crashed is the window popping up and explaining that it's what happened [14:31] Dr_Willis: with something like lsmod :) [14:31] How do I connect to a Window 7 network share whose user doesn't have a password with Nautilus? [14:32] Dr_Willis Ah, ok. So / 10gb, home can be the rest, and swap can be 6GB, so 6144 for swap. [14:32] 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] Exploiter: I'd probably use egrep or awk myself [14:32] Exploiter: always 3rd field separated by whitespaces? cut -d' ' -f3 [14:33] actually I'd use perl [14:33] 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] Jonii_: X has no popup for crashes [14:33] Jonii_: you're talking about some DE crashing :p [14:34] 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] LLutz can you give an example? [14:34] 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 [14:35] I wan to get whole like after http [14:35] How to make the apt-get connect to where I want. sources.list? [14:35] Then lots of technobabble about specifics of that crash [14:35] Exploiter: cut -d" " -f3 file will always cut and show the 3rd column from "file" [14:36] sidvee connect where you want? [14:36] LLutz as I said, I want to get all the character after the http word. [14:36] What I don't get is, how come all the problems this crash causes to me is this windows popping up [14:36] MonkeyDust: Connect to my insti REPOS. [14:36] Jonii_: nope, probably compiz crashed [14:36] Exploiter cut -d: -f2 [14:36] Apt-get getting stuck at "Connecting to archive.canonical.com|91.167.29.150|:80" [14:36] reisio: you'd probably see some graphics being redrawn if compiz crashed? [14:36] Exploiter: and i asked you: you want to cut always 3rd field separated by whitespaces? [14:37] sidvee ubuntu version? [14:37] sidvee: do you have your proxy set in /etc/apt/apt.conf? [14:37] Exploiter: or is it "http://to-the-end-of-line" or what exactly? [14:37] 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. [14:38] sidvee: I think it's like export http_proxy=http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport [14:38] Jonii_ then why bother? [14:38] 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] i tried to sudo install Amsn sudo apt-get install Amsn and it sai unable to locate package [14:38] zykotick9: No. That file is empty. Have set it at bashrc [14:39] sidvee: in /etc/apt/apt.conf the format is: Acquire::http::Proxy "http:address_here/"; [14:39] MonkeyDust: well, system is not supposed to do this, right? [14:39] !info aMsn [14:39] Package aMsn does not exist in precise [14:39] brooke_ amsn is no longer in the repos [14:39] Jonii_: that's called "failing elegantly" and is something to which programmer's aspire. [14:39] nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu [14:39] sidvee: I think you would want to start as root to keep the export setting like with sudo -s [14:39] llutz using grep http:// | cut -d: -f2 webs.txt I am getting '//google.com' [14:39] LLutz: yes till the end of line after http word(including http word) [14:40] 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] sacarlson: Already done. Have saved it at bashrc [14:40] zykotick9: lemme try. [14:40] sidvee: and fails to work? [14:40] Again, these happens 2-4 times/boot [14:40] Jonii_: try a live CD? and a Live session of something like Xubuntu or Kubuntu? see wha'ppens? [14:40] sacarlson: Yes. It is try to access "archive.canonical.com" [14:41] sidvee: v2 in /etc/apt/apt.conf the format is -- Acquire::http::Proxy "http://address_here:PORT/"; [14:41] sacarlson: trying* [14:41] sidvee: maybe you set the export in your user and not for root [14:41] 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] zykotick9: Wait. Trying [14:42] sacarlson: What to do then? [14:42] hello, I need help with this command please tell me what to do to run this command ? find -size [[+|-]] [14:42] 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] 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] sidvee: zykotick9's method sounds better [14:42] sacarlson: Following that wait [14:42] zykotick9: Do i need to do the same for FTP as well? [14:42] zykotick9: http , https, ftp? [14:43] sidvee: i just use http? so i'm not sure. [14:43] Thanks LLutz and dryicecomb works done with find and replace :) [14:43] mneptok: that sounds sensible. Though I'm unsure if Xubuntu has identical way of telling user that something just crashed? [14:43] 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 [14:44] Jonii_: apport exists in Xubuntu, also. [14:45] ifconfig -a does not show the gateway IP. what command do I need to use for it? [14:45] angs: route -n [14:45] thank you sacarlson [14:48] If I'm updating from Xubuntu 11.10 to 12.4, should I do a complete reinstall? [14:50] jennie: you want to find a list of files that are a byte size biger then what ? [14:52] Shalom y'all. Both my network card and my sound card seem to have stopped working. What to do? [14:52] sacarlson please take any example , I just want to learn about it [14:52] [14:53] jennie: try experiment find -size 10k [14:53] how to select all text in nano editor? [14:53] sacarlson what about [+|-] ? [14:54] How can I re configure my network card so that it will recognize the router? [14:54] jennie: I think + is graterthan - is lessthan try and find out [14:54] jennie: - = smaller than, + = bigger than [14:55] jennie: man find will explain it also [14:55] jennie: so you can try find -size 10K+ and find -size 10k- and see the diff [14:55] angs: nano is too lightweight to do a select all [14:55] Does anyone have any suggestions about reconfiguring my network card? [14:56] Just point me in the right direction [14:56] how do i update skype using sudo commands [14:56] sacarlson what [+|-] means I was trying find -size [+|-] 100 [14:56] jennie: man find will explain the options [14:56] brooke_: what you've said makes no sense [14:56] JerusalemT, you might want to look into ifconfig and iwconfig. [14:56] Meridious: thank you [14:57] jennie: and I had it reversed it's find -size -10k [14:57] jennie: - = smaller than, + = bigger than find / -size +10M to find files >10Mbyte find / -size -10M for files < 10MByte [14:57] JerusalemT, but that's after you're sure the drivers for your network card are working properly. [14:57] Ifconfig shows me that eth1 is there and it appears to be properly configured. However I cannot ping my router. === fira2 is now known as fira [14:57] angs: if you plan to spend some time in a command line, may i suggest learning to use Vi [14:58] How can I remove amd reconfigure eth1? [14:58] /win 21 [14:58] JerusalemT: eth0 works? [14:58] angs: it is pretty complex to pick up, but there are a few good cheat sheets.

[15:00] aloha all :D [15:00] *sounds of crickets* [15:00] chirp chirp to you too [15:00] brooke_: why aMsn? Use pidgin! [15:00] I just looked at /etc/network/interfaces and futzed wirh it [15:00] Let me see what happens now [15:00] pidgin doesn't let u video chat [15:00] brooke_: yes, it does with the right plugin -.- [15:01] I said you before! [15:01] How do I connect to a Window 7 network share whose user doesn't have a password with Nautilus? [15:01] then tell m [15:01] *told [15:01] e [15:01] hi all, i am downloaded the lastest cdrom of ubuntu server, i start the installation, when the step is on: 'Detect Hardware' not continue (i only see a screen of color purple, and not continue, i a waitng around 20 minutes and not continue, anyone know why? or how to force to continue? thanks [15:02] JerusalemT: if you change that file you need to restart networking, don't you use network manager? [15:02] hi chuck [15:02] aloha krababbel [15:02] rapha open a nautilus window, then hit CTRL+l to get the abbility to type your locations, then type smb://WINDOWSSHARE [15:04] Krababbel, I've tried making the changes via network connections but it doesn't work. [15:05] JerusalemT: did you also disconnent and reconnect? Do you mean network manager? [15:05] i guess you do [15:05] dryicebomb: did that and it just tells me "could not be found", but so quickly that I don't really think it actually tried... [15:05] empathy doen't save the favourite irc channels [15:06] System preferences network connection via the gui brimgs up a dialog box in titled network connections.

This is the NetFluid.IRC bot running on Raspberry Pi for the first test ! [15:07] dryicebomb: i don't have any other computer to try with, unfortunately. I tried by name, and the name is pingable. trying by IP yields the same result though. [15:08] zykotick9: "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) " :( [15:08] Does anyone have instructions on making a bootable USB flash drive for OSX? The instructions given here do not work: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx [15:08] 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] 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] Hi ! This is the NetFluid.IRC bot running on Raspberry Pi for the first test ! [15:08] "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) " [15:09] JerusalemT: also 'ip link' and 'ip addr' show the current config.

[15:11] JerusalemT: are you using static IP configurations? and did this problem start after an update to 12.04? [15:12] ltsp fat clients keep getting screen resolution of the server? i.e. a 1024x600 netbook keeps thinking it has a 1920x1080 resolution? [15:13] dryicebomb: the Windows 7 computer's firewall seems to be configured to allow file and printer sharing, and file and printer sharing is turned on. [15:13] Nope and nope. I am running version 10.04 [15:14] JerusalemT: is this wired or wireless? [15:14] rapha can you open up the network share on the local computer by opening up a window and typing in //WINDOWSSHARE ? [15:15] So, ipmaddr spits out a line about eth1 which includes state UNKNOWN [15:15] Does anyone sell ubuntu preinstalled on a USB stick? I need to install it on a notebook that has no optical drive.

[15:16] JerusalemT: can you pastebin the contents of /etc/network/interfaces please? [15:16] JerusalemT: i got unknown state on loopback interface, but eth0 for me is stat UP === bluewolf is now known as august [15:16] !doesntwork | B_Pro [15:16] B_Pro: 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. [15:16] dryicebomb: windows exporer seems to think that's a web address and opens firefox instead === august is now known as a1989 [15:16] Nope. My ubuntu box is offline. I am using a tablet === a1989 is now known as aug [15:17] dryicebomb: but i got it working through "tools > map network drive" [15:17] B_Pro: you realize that OSX will boot off the first physical hard disk if possible, ignoring anything else. you *must* press a key (or key combo) to boot from USB or optical media. [15:18] Following the instructions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx my USB drive gets the error "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" when plugging it into my Mac. I want to make a bootable USB drive, but can't seem to get it to work. [15:18] JerusalemT: have you tried booting to an earlier kernel? [15:18] Ooooh mneptok, that's an idea [15:18] B_Pro: the USB installer is a bootable device. it is not something you try to mount and run from inside OSX. [15:19] JerusalemT: I'm not sure about what state actually means there. I have another box here, where it shows eth0 state unknown, but it is working fine. [15:19] Rebooting [15:19] I am trying to make a bootable drive, but there is an error somewhere and the USB stick is not bootable. The Mac will not read it when booting from it (pressing "U" when booting) [15:19] Hello guys... I need little help... [15:19] For some reason my keyring is not keeping my wireless password, every time I log in on Ubuntu, the wireless password is requested to me [15:19] any idea? [15:20] B_Pro: the "not readable" error happens at boot time? [15:20] Yes [15:20] rodhash password or wpa key? [15:20] i've been having a hard time figuring out how to do this, but i need to either boot a cdrom from grub2 or from a 128mb usb flash drive, and the media i want to boot can't fit on the flash drive.. i've already burned a dvd but i cannot figure out what to put in grub2 [15:21] have to go bye all [15:21] B_Pro: be sure to md5sum the .iso you downloaded. or get it via BitTorrent, where the protocol has hashsums for error correction. [15:21] Done that. The md5sum is valid [15:22] dryicebomb: I just found some Samba frontend with which I was able to set the Ubuntu machine's workgroup to "WORKGROUP" (which is what the Windows machine has) and now I can see the windows machine under "Network" in Nautilus. If I click on it, I'm asked my username and password, though. Unfortunately my empty password is not accepted. [15:22] MonkeyDust, wpa key [15:22] B_Pro: i'm not rich, so i use Thinkpads. :) but there's a pretty large Ubuntu userbase using Macs. if no on knows here, try mailing lists or the forums. there are others out there with more knowledge.

What the heck does that mean? === hari_ is now known as harikt [15:26] Why would be true and older kernal work? [15:26] JerusalemT: something in the newer kernel's driver for your chipsets? something about an ABI change that breaks drivers for just your stuff? unsure. but it's bug-worthy on Launchpad. [15:27] Cool. Thanks so much for all the help. [15:28] JerusalemT: get the very latest Fedora image. find out if it's Linux, or just Ubuntu's kernel build. [15:28] JerusalemT: 10.04 is all 2.5 kernels. forget that. sorry. === lub`uczy is now known as lubmil [15:29] errr .... 2.6 [15:29] Problem solved. Now let's see if we can get my sound to work again. Where should I look to play with that? Also how do I get the computer to automatically boot the old colonel? Haha, my voice recognition software keeps printing colonel instead of kernal. [15:29] hah! [15:29] Hi all, I am trying to install grub-efi. I installed ubuntu already, but it will not boot, since I have a efi boot within my bios. So I saw that there was a grub-efi package. How do I go about installing it, so that I can use that over standard grub. I am currently in a live USB environment, with the installation already finished, but still in the live environemnt of hte USB. Help lease. [15:30] Good afternoon, General Protection-Fault. This is Colonel Panic reporting for duty. === john is now known as ki4ro [15:30] MariachiAC: did you let the Ubuntu installer auto-partition the entire disk? [15:30] what is this grub efi people keep asking asking quetions about? [15:31] MonkeyDust: (U)EFI capable GRUB. [15:31] * mneptok uses it [15:31] Yes, I did a default install mneptok [15:31] is there any way to stop loading same list again and again while updating [15:31] i am having a slow internet connection [15:31] MariachiAC: you need a 50MB or so FAT32 partition at the very beginning of the disk, mounted at /boot/efi in Linux. [15:31] and every time it loads same file again and again [15:32] and what's uefi? [15:32] is there any way [15:32] 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] to stop loading same files again and again and update only changes [15:32] i mean , if i add repo. [15:32] but [15:33] ok, found it "UEFI is the firmware that will eventually replace BIOS in commercial PCs." [15:33] it change same file again and again [15:33] can't open synaptics [15:33] extra junk at end something error [15:33] rapha, if its windows 7 there is an option to turn off password protected sharing.

[15:34] kanhiya: most likey if you dont get an answer to your question, there no answer to it right now [15:35] MariachiAC: set the BIOS to (U)EFI only. do a custom install, creating that partition (FAT32, no kore than 75MB, beginning of disk, mounted at /boot/efi), and report back if the system does not boot when the install is finished. [15:35] MonkeyDust: I have to shout [15:35] hi [15:35] is there a non pae kernel on the 12.04 iso? [15:35] kanhiya not here please [15:36] kanhiya: do not shout. there is no reason. you do not *have* to. and i am telling, not asking. thanks. [15:36] <_P3S_> I've reinstalled the kernels but there aren't any initrd images in boot folder [15:36] MonkeyDust: Where, i am here to get help, no body is taking care of my questions [15:36] !patience > kanhiya [15:36] kanhiya, please see my private message [15:36] !patience [15:36] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

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? [16:58] 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] jarray52, the mysql update is an important CVE update. not clear why things wouldn't be signed properly [16:58] GREETINGS, MINIONS [16:59] caps [16:59] Noobsauce here.

Never seen so many n0.. ahem beginners. [17:07] Ok, escott mentioned using the live cd for enlarging a partition I wish to use for Ubuntu 12.04. As I already have the OS installed, would I have to install it, and where does GParted come into play if at all? [17:07] hmm [17:07] hmm [17:07] zein, you cant resize a mounted partition [17:07] ok [17:07] I meant, if I would have to uninstall Ubuntu and reinstall. Don't have to? [17:07] i don't take orders from you/ [17:08] this is not working [17:08] zein: after making changes to your partition exit out of the live cd [17:08] ok [17:08] zein, you dont have to reinstall. but trying to resize when the system is in use would be like fixing an engine that is running [17:08] gotcha [17:08] ok [17:09] this is not working guys [17:09] On average, how large of a partition would one normally use? Is there an average size? Does size matter? hehe [17:09] ok [17:10] no not at all [17:10] zein whatever size you want to have [17:10] ok [17:10] ok [17:10] I say 12 GB for /, RAM*1.5 for /swap, and the rest to /home.

[17:31] My kernel seems to constantly want to throttle my CPU ("Core temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 202264)") and then immediately un-throttles it, even when the CPU is pretty much idle. It's a fairly low-power pentium M, ubuntu 11.10. Anybody got a clue how to get rid of that? [17:31] escott: I believe I resolved the problem. === ntyp is now known as FaultKernel [17:33] NickHu: Sure it didn't show a prompt to select OS? (It should have if it installed correctly I would think) [17:33] sorry to bother you guys again but none of those programs are working [17:33] NickHu: did he install grub? is grub installed into the right hdd? [17:34] The whole laptop is waterproof and has hence no fans by design, by the way, so it can't really be a dead/clogged fan -- I'm suspecting the threshold is just set too low. [17:34] k1l: Nope it's a brand new windows laptop [17:34] gajbooks: I don't know, I'll check, he's not really a techie [17:34] NickHu, theres cases where grub dosent install properly and he may need to boot the live cd and reinstall grub.. or be sure hes booting the right hard drive [17:34] whenever I load my clip it starts somewhere near the end and I can't send the video like that [17:34] Would the manual partitioning install work? [17:35] NickHu: try that: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Installing.2BAC8-Reinstalling.2BAC8-Moving_GRUB2 [17:36] NickHu, its possible the install worked.. just not grub. the 'boot-repair' tool (i think) may fix it right up [17:36] unetbootin offers a distro variant called "hdmedia". what is different in this one? [17:36] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [17:36] ciss, not an official ubuntu variant.. so youd be best to check its homepage to see.. [17:37] ciss, never heard of it befor. :) === H2DAZ_ is now known as H2DAZ [17:37] Dr_willis: I'm not particularly familiar with a ubuntu install.. Does it install the whole system before prompting for remove media? [17:38] What does this mean? You will have to enable the component called 'universe' [17:38] hello [17:38] NickHu, it should work that way. [17:38] NickHu, last thing it does is install the grub bootloader. [17:38] !repo | Morblias [17:38] Morblias: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [17:38] Dr_willis: I see.. He tells me he's done the install procedure several times, does that mean he has multiple ubuntu installs or is the installer smarter than that? [17:38] Morblias, the 'universe' repository [17:39] NickHu, depends on what he selected. [17:39] i think he should be checking out that boot-repair page and see if its a grub issue. also make Sure the bios has any Anti virus protection disabled. [17:39] Iwve been digging in the forums for the past half an hour: is there a way to completely disable the Unity launcher, and only the launcher? [17:40] Ashael, you mean the left side panel? remove it? you can hide it.. but not seen a way to remove it === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [17:40] yeah [17:40] :( [17:40] itws annoying [17:40] Dr_willis: I looked at the page, and it says it's a seperate iso.. Is it not included in ubuntu live cd? [17:40] Ashael, you could log in using a the gnome-fallback-session thing instead. [17:40] i want to use a dash only [17:41] NickHu, you can install it from any live-cd session [17:41] NickHu, its worth having that custome live cd that includes it in your pc toolbox. [17:41] Amadiro: i like Unity and the new layout, but not the launcher [17:41] Ashael, i find it very usefull.. oh well.. :) [17:42] dash > launcher [17:42] Quicklists are handy. :) icon feedback animation also handy [17:42] yeah, we all have our prefs... [17:42] Dr_willis: I see... I use arch linux and therefore not apt-get, how can you form URLs to open the package installer to a package? apt://..? [17:42] set it to hide is the best answer [17:42] Dr_willis: after i actually read the short explanation that i had right before my eyes when selecting ubuntu, i found this: [17:42] "If you would like to use a pre-downloaded alternate (not desktop) install iso, use the HdMedia option, and then place the alternate install iso file on the root directory of your hard drive or USB drive" [17:42] hi [17:43] Dr_willis: it's still somewhat vague, but at least gives an idea [17:43] ciss, :) i dont use unetbootin much any more. [17:43] Hi, I am running 10.04 and trying to create tmpfs (or ramfs) - seems like extended attributes is not supported - anyway I can turn it on? [17:43] Dr_willis: just for the record ;) [17:43] someone should add the option to disable the launchers. [17:43] NickHu, from a ubuntu live cd session run the commands the url gives. [17:44] ciss, i have no idea what its talking about really. ;) [17:44] anyway, thanks guys [17:44] Dr_willis: The problem is, I'm nowhere near my friend, I'm trying to help him through the telephone, and it's beyond his capacity [17:44] anyone have any experience installing compiz on 12.04? tried to downggrade to 0.8 and now compiz window decorator wont work [17:44] NickHu, he just has to cut/paste 2 lines.. and run one command.. so really cant make it easier then that [17:45] thx for help everyone, bbl [17:45] Dr_willis: Right.. Fair enough, but is the exact package name boot-repair? [17:45] vidalstat: compiz is installed and in use by default [17:45] sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair [17:46] so thats a yes.. [17:46] Dr_willis: to me it sounds like unetbootin will be prepare the stick and allow you to drop in your own install image afterwards. hdmedia might refer to the expected size ... ... hm ... whatever. :) [17:46] ciss, i use grub2 to boot iso files. ;) [17:47] Dr_willis: again, just for the record (or rather the logs) ;) [17:47] compiz 0.9 is installed by default and was buggy, i downgraded to 0.8 [17:49] <|Long|> what is the package name xnet.d [17:49] vidalstat: idk about 0.8 but, do you have an nvidia or ATI video card? === bruno is now known as Guest4269 [17:49] intel integrated [17:50] compiz worked just fine before i upgrade to 12.04 [17:51] [17:52] it might work fine with a clean install also.. hard to tell. === sophia is now known as Guest20698 [17:53] clean install of what? compiz? [17:53] of 12.04 [17:53] oof [17:53] theres been a lot of issues with intel drivers from what ive seen in here [17:54] i've been using compiz as a standalone wm for 6 months on this intel graphics card, so i dont think thats it. [17:55] hello everybody, i just bought humblebundle 5 and psychonauts is a .bin. How can i use/mount it? [17:56] 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] ChesterX: bin could be binary execulable so chmod then ./foo.bin - OR is could be a bin/cue (bin/toc) image. [17:56] foo=name? [17:56] ChesterX: yup [17:56] How do I see .hidden files in my home folder?

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] Jordan_U thank you [18:09] Dandaman3452, /dev/shm is tmpfs [18:09] Dandaman3452: You're welcome. [18:09] Dandaman3452, I am lookingalternatives to tmpfs and ramfs as they do not seem to support extended attributes [18:10] Jordan_U will try now , report back results [18:11] make a ext2 filesystem in a file in tmpfs perhaps? and loopback mount it.

I have a lot of work up [18:22] spartan2276: my guess is to re enter the stuff for Soft Center [18:23] Meridious, it also seems like the only way for me to fix the time lag(difference) is to re-start the PC.

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] Applesouce: Depends on the speed of your computer. [18:28] Applesouce, I use vbox to boot windows 7 in order to use different economics applications for work and university stuff [18:28] Boot order already gives 1st priority to USB. [18:28] I have Intel i5 2600k with 3,4 GHz quad, 8GB RAM and nVidia GTX580 [18:29] I also have adobe suite installed so it's enough I believe [18:29] Meridious, maybe there is some kind of bug? you think [18:29] spartan2276: there definitely is [18:29] spartan2276: system time can affect the authentication process [18:29] I think I have enough power to run a virtual pc [18:30] Applesouce, more than enough =) [18:30] so how about the partitions? How big should I make them with 1TB [18:30] Applesouce: sounds like you have plenty [18:30] 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] Applesouce: Should be O.K. but dual boot would still run faster because it would be running windows too. [18:30] is there anything I can or should do? [18:30] *without [18:30] 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?

I don't really know about 3D through VM.

[18:33] But it gets normally suported by Wine? [18:33] whatdaheck: when you installed, did you specify for it to install to your Hard Drive or to the USB stick [18:33] Applesouce, some might some won't and some will =) [18:33] Applesouce: and take a look at: http://www.winehq.org/ and http://www.playonlinux.com [18:33] my solution was to buy a playstation 3 :P [18:33] whatdaheck: you probably installed GRUB to the mbr of the USB [18:34] Antonis: try 'sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gtk2-engines gtk2-engines-murrine gtk2-engines-pixbuf gtk2-engines-oxygen ibus-gtk libcanberra-gtk-module libgail-common libgtk2.0-0 librsvg2-common' [18:34] ye, like Antonis says, but Play on Linux is really good with games [18:34] whatdaheck: yeah, what wylde said [18:34] But a playstation has no Adobe CS 6 xD [18:34] 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] it seems isntalled [18:34] or is there any place I can get the stacktrace from the apport report?

[18:36] Applesouce: with Gparted [18:36] Applesouce: not every, rarely times you have to make additionals steps, most of application you can install it by only double click and following the typically windows installation programs, but i suggest Open Source alternatives [18:36] Meridious, Does Sun have one?

[18:37] no not how do I make them, how should I make them, with 1TB, how much should I put on which partition? [18:37] brb [18:38] dudol: http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp [18:38] I downloaded the official deb installers for OpenOffice 3.4.0. But I can't figure out how to unpack them so Synaptic understands them. They didn't include a listing file. Just the licenses, readmes, and the debs. What do I do? [18:38] dudol: i use openjdk [18:38] can't seem to find anything on this time bug [18:38] csharp, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1037742/ [18:38] I am using ubuntu 12.04 in my lab with LTSP.. I have a .sh script that needs to run for each user when they login.. what is the best way to do it? [18:39] Applesouce: you could shrink Windows with the "shrink partition" tool and give the rest to Ubuntu. The ubuntu installer automatically handles partitions [18:39] dudol: OpenJDK should be in your repositories, type sudo apt-get install openjdk into a terminal [18:39] Antonis: okay - I see [18:39] Meridious, E: Unable to locate package openjdk [18:39] Antonis: have you installed software with ppas? or any other custom debs? [18:40] csharp, plenty.. I also upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 so it's a mess I believe [18:40] Antonis: yeah - looks like you would have some cleanup to do before this would work :-/ [18:40] Ah Jordan_U what else should i try? [18:40] it should be openjdk-version-jre I think [18:41] dudol: [18:41] $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre [18:41] so 6 or 7 [18:41] 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] 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] dudol: sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre should work [18:41] yes, working. [18:41] Thank you Meridious ! [18:41] WillPittenger:Any reason why you would not use the libre office in the distro's [18:41] dudol: No problem! [18:42] SkippersBoss: Compatibility reasons. [18:42] so anyone got any idea why I can't find the bug report Aport lists as a dupe for a crash report? [18:42] I won't take any other questions on that. [18:42] Jordan_U should i try a (superfile?) backup [18:42] fair enogh [18:43] Antonis: there may be a way to force install each package, but it would not be recommended [18:43] Antonis: I might consider a fresh install :-/ [18:43] How do I figure if my Ubuntu is 32 or 64bits? [18:43] dudol: system [18:43] csharp, that's what I would recommend myself as well :p.. the problem is the time it will take :\ [18:43] dudol: system settings -> details [18:43] or anywhere else I might be able to ask? [18:43] it demands plenty of free time.. [18:44] Applesouce: Windows would not be able to get any bigger than the size of its partition [18:44] Where do the purchases like books and magazines end up after you purchase the item? [18:44] Applesouce: if you're concerned about growth, just allocate more to Windows [18:44] csharp: I know, but what is if I need some more space... [18:44] Meridious, thank you again! [18:44] Applesouce: I recommend gparted for resizing partitions if needed [18:45] dudol: no problem. If you want to get fancy, type lsb_release -a into a terminal [18:45] And I can just add more Space to Ubuntu without it getting destroyed? [18:46] Applesouce: yes - just keep good backups and you can do anything you want :-) [18:46] does ubuntu hAve proper drivers for a radeon hd 6670 by default? [18:46] ok thanks you :D [18:46] Applesouce: sure - good luck [18:47] fishbait: it should automatically configure those. I have a 6870 in my desktop and have had no problems [18:47] can anyone tell me how to get the print file for a print job in the print queue? My printer seems to be stuck and I want to save it.

[18:48] I am using ubuntu 12.04 in my lab with LTSP.. I have a .sh script that needs to run for each user when they login.. what is the best way to do it?

[19:37] Nyad that is correct [19:37] hotmedal, tried that too won`t work [19:37] Hi everyone. I have a problem - Compiz often crashes when I close programs using ctrl + w or alt + f4. I have logged the crash report, so if someone can help me, let me know, so that I can paste it somewhere. Thanks [19:37] freedomrun: are you using unity¿ [19:37] Nyad, hard to say probably not but I would clone it to be sure.

[19:39] dryicebomb: ohhk. :) [19:39] abhinavmehta if all else fails, setting up a simple file server and streaming media through that would work [19:39] xangua, ubottu hotmedal I was thinking if somebody knows command from terminal (something like gsettings something something don`t remember) [19:39] hey guys i have a big problem [19:39] christian what is your problem? [19:39] can I set some parameter so that new windows (launched from the Unity launcher) would be centered?

[19:42] proka, and your using compiz that is not the stock setting. [19:43] so really, not falming about os's but in this case windows rules [19:43] christian_ what game is this?

[19:45] sam555, what do you want to do if i may? [19:45] its a really simple game, not heavy graphics etc. [19:45] abhinavmehta roku is a device you hook up to tv to stream media from a server on your network [19:45] zykotick9, so what would the next step be now that I actually did it... the wrong way? [19:45] christian_ run it in a vm then [19:45] Roku is a tiny media player that you can hook to a television for netfix and things like that. http://www.roku.com/ [19:46] but why is linux blocking my update? does linux think i am so stupid that i will install some shit ? [19:46] no a0d [19:46] 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] A0D: before i run it in a vm i will start windows.... [19:46] i use linux for my studies, programming etc. [19:46] thats what linux is good at [19:46] A0D: dryicebomb: ohh..very interesting… [19:47] christian_ then dual boot and game on windows and everything else linux [19:47] if your gonna game, thats usually the best way [19:47] but i am so tired of restarting :D [19:47] 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] christian__, and running 75% of the fastest super computers a % of the servers on the web, and many other areas.

Push that, and it should start building a database [20:24] now the X interface (Unity?) is acting really strange [20:25] dudol: did it work [20:25] Meridious, yes, very nice... Which other interface do you know? [20:25] bazhang, what do you mean? [20:25] if the launcher is set to autohide the entire desktop sorta disappears, parts of it appearing when the launcher button is pressed! [20:25] very weird :D [20:25] 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] Meridious, I didn't know it worked like that. [20:25] does this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/980012 affect 32bit installs?

[20:26] ok, i like ubuntu too :D [20:27] Is it possible to use a KDE also, I never used it. [20:27] zpsaii, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [20:27] ? [20:27] dudol, install kubuntu-desktop, and choose from login window [20:27] bazhang, how do I do that? [20:28] 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] Meet - I use Xfce, it stayed intact just fine. I can only assume the same is true for gnome. [20:28] Bruce0: what all changes should i expect? [20:28] But I still not able to change my font size... :( [20:28] dryicebomb: I've choosed "Movies" === ikkaku is now known as Urahara [20:28] Meet: you could always compare version numbers on the packages [20:28] dryicebomb: should I go for "Home Movies" ?? [20:28] abhinavmehta try "home movies" [20:29] Meet: and also read change logs [20:29] poh1: that means i will have to reinstall all ? === Urahara is now known as Guest94549 [20:29] fishbait: Yes, it looks like you'll need to recompile the drivers after upgrading your kernel. [20:29] abhinavmehta i'm at work, i have to step away for 15 minuts or so. [20:29] ty doing it now [20:29] dryicebomb: ok === Guest94549 is now known as Ishida [20:29] hi [20:29] !software | dudol [20:29] dudol: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [20:29] and xfce said something about restricted drivers and fglrx === Ishida is now known as thoidingjam [20:29] does the HUD in 12.04 allow adding entries to Google Calendar? [20:29] Meet: i assume upgrade indicates that it just upgrades out of date packages === thoidingjam is now known as Ishida === Ishida is now known as kuoraku [20:30] 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 [20:31] el [20:31] thank you bazhang ! man this is wonderful!

[20:33] !xen [20:33] XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [20:34] nm [20:34] fishbait, you can use the something else option on a install, this is a custom install and not have to remove drives but it is best to be safe. [20:35] Does anyone know a virtual class web server? [20:35] Some tool for making virtual classes with webcam broadcast, chat, slides.... [20:36] my first install freebsd to be exact royally screwed up windows boot i'm just lucky i cloned my drive to a usb hdd [20:39] fishbait, the clone is good insurance I just reloaded my development instal, and reloaded the home I had and all the installs it was having some problems I am back up to date without the problems === Lloir is now known as Lloir-AFK [20:39] took about 45 min [20:39] yeah the best part is it loaded right into my main drive install of windows not the usb hdd [20:40] okay installing FGLRX right now [20:41] fishbait, what is FGLRX?

[20:44] it failed from gui trying apt-get now [20:44] TransitTycoon in a terminal, type alsamixer [20:45] unpacking [20:45] MonkeyDust: K, now? [20:45] TransitTycoon use the arrows to navigate and to change the levels [20:45] ldconfig defered processing now taking place [20:46] need help with ati cards.. I have a video and tv tuner. and I a trying to install the drivers for them every time I download drivers from amd I run into a blank screen [20:46] dryicebomb: having the same problem, mentioned here: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/32070-cant-add-media-in-plex-server/ but the solution is for Windows-machiens not for Ubuntu.. :( Did you faced this before? [20:46] MonkeyDust: That doesnt adress my question. My question is, how do I take my mic, and route it differently so it is played through the internal audio? [20:46] does anyone know the telinit for hibernate? [20:46] i know 0 is shutdown 6 is reboot [20:47] MonkeyDust: Just routing it through the speakers does not accomplish that. [20:47] 2-5 are runlevels [20:47] !runlevel | fishbait [20:47] 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. [20:48] if i issue telinit 0 it'll shutdown if issue telinit 6 it'll reboot whats the telinit for hibernate? [20:49] fishbait try pm-hibernate [20:49] fishbait http://maketecheasier.com/enable-hibernate-in-ubuntu-12-04/2012/05/01 [20:49] fishbait: telinit /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh [20:50] ok ty now how do i remove these options from gui? [20:50] how can i get gedit to start in the current directory without loading any files? `gedit .` and `gedit -b .` both complain about a directory not being a file, and the sidebar actually reflects the parent directory. [20:51] since upgrading my Samba server to Ubuntu 12.04, network file access has gotten very slow, like 100kbytes/second at best. ring a bell? how to debug it? My client is a Mac. [20:51] abhinavmehta i have not had that problem have you tried restarting the server? sudo /etc/init.d/plexmediaserver restart [20:51] dryicebomb: not yet…but gimme a sec [20:52] I want to record myself singing to an mp3 on my computer< How can I get an application to record from my mic and the internal audio at the same time? [20:52] rhizmoe: when you just use "gedit" what happens that you don't want? [20:53] dryicebomb: did stop-start…and now trying simpler use-case, of just adding mp3…that too not working. [20:54] 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] okay fglrx is good and r8168 is functioning now how do i make the dns servers permanent [20:55] and for the love of pete no chmod stuff [20:55] that killed my r8168 driver [20:57] dryicebomb: BTW, now problem is slightly different…now I'm getting circle-of-waiting keep running infinitely just to add 1 mp3 file. [20:57] abhinavmehta ok, how long has that been running? [20:58] since we re-started this chat. [20:58] almost guess > 5 minutes..to add 1mp3 file of 3MB-size [20:59] is this a new ubuntu install? === adante_ is now known as adante [20:59] i keep having to add my dns servers and ubuntu keeps waiting for my network config on boot how do i solve these minor annoyances [21:00] dryicebomb: yes..its on fresh 12.04 === Shinobi is now known as Shinobi_away [21:00] quit [21:00] Can anyone tell me if the Humble Indie Bundle 5 games in the Ubuntu software centre will get updated automatically? Or do I have to download the updates manually somehow? [21:01] abhinavmehta: do you know if you have python installed ? [21:01] dryicebomb: I'm a python programmer buddy…yes, its installed for sure. [21:01] :) [21:01] abhinavmehta: fair enough :) [21:02] i keep having to add my dns servers and ubuntu keeps waiting for my network config on boot how do i solve these minor annoyances [21:02] fishbait: read about resolvconf in the release notes [21:02] !notes | fishbait [21:02] fishbait: Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) release notes can be found here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/12.04 [21:02] fishbait: good question...hopefully someone knows [21:03] hello, im looking for a xml viewer that keeps a correct struture.

[21:05] I seem to be doing it all wrong. Can anyone walk me through it? [21:06] ok ay so do i edit the header or tail file? [21:06] abhinavmehta: at this point i'm stumped. I enthusiastically recommended it you because it worked so quickly and easily for me, as opposed to some of the other media-servers i've used. but i'm still running on 10.04 LTS (haven't upgraded it yet) [21:07] dryicebomb: ok. Thanks for the help. Meanwhile searching same issue in forums…wish it works. Fingers crossed. [21:08] what is the topic here? [21:08] anyone know what file stores info such as desktop background, icons on the launch area things like that ? [21:08] Etale: you can look for the sty name in the synatic and install it from there, or you download it from the ctan page to the folder where your document is [21:08] dryicebomb: its safe to upgrade to 11.04, thats what i have [21:08] jrib: starting gedit from any directory without options uses $HOME as the startup (sidebar file tree) directory [21:08] if i add my dns to the head file will it stick across boots? [21:09] AcidRain2012 its more of a matter of free time that is stopping me ;) [21:09] im looking for a xml viewer that keeps the right structure...any sugestions plz ??

[21:10] <_abc_> http://askubuntu.com/questions/25022/how-to-enable-boot-messages-to-be-printed-on-screen-during-boot-up is this relevant to my boot message question? Remmeber this is a live cd, I am not sure the grub cli can be edited then? Can it? [21:10] damn, we saw it [21:11] fishbait, yes afiaik as long as you don't use network manager [21:11] dryicebomb: thanks :) [21:11] 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] i use static settings [21:12] fishbait, try it and see ...works for me without NM [21:12] abhinavmehta: one last thought. Is your media local to the server? or is it on a network share or usb device? [21:13] dryicebomb: its on local-disk..local to server. [21:13] BTW I found this.

[21:20] dryicebomb: BTW I found people on the forum using plex on 12.04…so seems like it is supported on new-releases.

Im using this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto im at installing latest source which is giving me the error but the realtek 3.0 driver is compiling np [22:07] Tux_1: i don't have that problem [22:07] oh well [22:07] despoena: just got back and my make here finished with no problem. Just don't use their install script. [22:08] despoena: after ./configure and make complete all you have to do is 'sudo make install' and reboot :) [22:08] wylde, which solution are you using ? [22:08] manual [22:09] install latest alsa or another solution? [22:09] despoena: paste: lsmod [22:09] Chuck_Norris, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1038063/ [22:09] despoena: I grabbed the source tarball from the realtem site. 3.0 Driver [22:10] realtek* [22:10] despoena: using the manual method in the readme [22:10] despoena: I'm just not going to continue any further though. I don't need the driver installed lol [22:10] despoena: but... you have a atheros wireless card [22:11] does ubuntu have a dom0 kernel available? [22:11] an* atheros [22:11] Chuck_Norris, what does that mean [22:11] i meant, you was downloading a realtek driver for an atheros? [22:11] AFAIK realtek uses ath drivers on a fair number of their net cards. [22:11] Chuck_Norris: sound drivers [22:12] oh! sry [22:12] brb [22:12] wylde, when im done compiling the realtek driver do i move it to /usr/src or keep it in Downloads [22:12] hi there! I am facing problems with localization. I cannot read russian letters in ICQ chat. I checked up my 'locale-a' there are no ru.UTF-8. How can I enable russian UTF-8? [22:12] Chuck_Norris, its ok :) [22:13] anyone set up ltsp fat clients before? i did everything according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients -- but when i try to boot the fat client, everything works fine until i login -- then i just get a desktop background and nothing else. [22:13] anyone notice 12.04 LTS's evince can't display jpegs? [22:13] wylde, ok n/m i think it did it on its own [22:13] despoena: all you have to do is run 'sudo make install' no need to move it anywhere [22:13] I am facing problems with localization. I cannot read russian letters in ICQ chat. I checked up my 'locale-a' there are no ru.UTF-8. How can I enable russian UTF-8? [22:14] wylde, i just used the install script with no errors i was getting the errors when compiling the latest alsa not the realktek. Im gonna reboot and hope all works. Fingers crossed [22:14] despoena: if you think you're ever going to remove them don't delete the compilation directory. Sometimes 'sudo make uninstall' in that directory will remove compiled software [22:14] No sense? ---I am facing problems with localization. I cannot read russian letters in ICQ chat.

So my 2nd encoding is just crap and i can't even watch the result...

I am in a headless environment atm but was wondering what kind of DE is used by Ubuntu normally. Might install a DE DM etc [22:35] i am wondering how should i do that ? [22:35] ActionParsnip sry that was for ya [22:35] catcher: you can setup profiles for firefox [22:36] ActionParsnip, running new instances still uses the same parent process for me.. [22:36] Jordan_U: hell yes because you know transcoding what is transcoded is just bad... But i can't find any way on Linux to edit .WebM files for removing audio noise. [22:36] catcher: not something I use tbh [22:36] ActionParsnip, alt-f2 doesn't do anything for me, but I'm assuming it's similar to running them from the terminal?

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] fishbait: press ALT+F2 and run: \\192.168.100.100\public [22:41] so i haven't used ubuntu in a few years... any major changes i should know about? Is unity the default interface now?

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. [22:57] Jordan_U: Yes i have exported to OGG Quality 10 and imported back to the video and it works fine :) [22:59] 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] Jordan_U: now i'd like to re-use same command forever but by calling 2 variables like conv.sh file1 file2 [23:00] proc_ this is done by this video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqe7uuXK8dk i've tried it and it works ^^ [23:00] Jordan_U you are not re encoding your video.

[23:19] ActionParsnip, I am installing ubuntu [23:19] ubuntu load noveau driver by default [23:20] killown: tried blacklisting the nouveau driver ? [23:20] ActionParsnip, this is a installation [23:20] if I blacklist it, I need to reboot [23:20] killown: yes, you can do it with boot options [23:20] f7 and f8 doesn't work for me [23:20] killown: hold shift at boot [23:20] ok [23:21] and what option I should use after that? [23:21] drm_kms_helper.poll=0 ? [23:21] the screen freezes, mouse stop to work and I can't kill lightdm [23:22] killown: nouveau.blacklist=1 [23:22] ActionParsnip, thank you, I will try that one [23:22] gotta go [23:23] So, I donwnloaded Super Meat Boy from the Humble Bundle, but when I go to launch it, the screen flashes a lot, and then it displays with a triple-image, and the colors are messed up. Help? [23:24] (I think it may be a driver problem, but when I go to launch the driver updater, I get an error message pointing me to /var/log/jockey.log) [23:24] Relondo: do you have 3D accelleration? [23:24] Actionparsnip: I can't seem to download the driver. [23:24] Actionparsnip: So I guess my real problem is the driver. I know why SMB doesn't work. [23:25] Relondo: how is smb relatd to a game? [23:26] Actionparsnip: SMB = Super Meat Boy. [23:26] ahhhh [23:26] my bad [23:26] Actionparsnip: What else does SMB mean? [23:26] Relondo: do you have 3D effects in your desktop? [23:26] Actionparsnip: That's an excellent question. How do I find out? [23:27] Relondo: Server Message Block, used in Samba [23:27] actionparsnip: Ah. [23:27] Relondo: if you run: ps -ef | grep compiz | grep -v grep is there any output? === fire is now known as Guest38037 [23:28] #ardour [23:28] ...:P [23:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1038148/ [23:28] Actionparsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1038148/ === Guest38037 is now known as aaa === aaa is now known as aAa [23:29] Relondo: yeah, try logging off then log in to Unity2D session [23:29] actionparsnip: How do I do that? [23:30] are all the humble games linux native? [23:30] actionparsnip: Also, I'm assuming that won't fix the graphics driver issue? [23:30] andai: Yes. [23:30] I switched to the Gnome Classic desktop manager (using gnome-common and gnome-shell) as I hate Unity. However, I have two questions. First, can I safely uninstall any of Unity? Second, I don't see any Gnome configuration options. Either they weren't installed or shortcuts weren't added to the menus. What is going on? It looks like the gnome and gnome-core packages add a lot of stuff I... [23:30] ...don't need. Those include browsers CD burners and more. [23:30] :D [23:31] Could anyone help me with an install? This is my first day on Ubuntu! [23:31] Relondo: it will take compiz out of the equation, it may be causing the issue [23:31] andai: some of the games run via wine etc [23:32] hi room [23:32] actionparsnip: I had thought they were all Linux native :/ [23:32] actionparsnip: (Obviously). [23:32] actionparsnip: Anyway, how do I restart in Unity2D? [23:32] willdo: go ahead and ask the channel the question. Anyone who can help will reply :) [23:32] Relondo: omgubuntu has a few disgruntled users about the fact its not native [23:33] actionparsnip: Ah. [23:33] Relondo: log off, click the cog and select 2D then log in [23:33] actionparsnip: Okay, thanks.

[23:43] The techniques have been refined. [23:43] Image processing* [23:44] Is there a tool I can use for Ubuntu to download a website and all linked pages and files to a certain depth, or something like that? [23:45] willdo: I suggest you report a bug, or contact the science team in the link wylde_ gave [23:45] zizoo: httrack and his GUI webhttrack [23:45] Or all local files and pages, or all the ones whose URLs match a certain regex? [23:45] Oh, thx, will look at that. [23:45] and its* GUI... [23:47] ActionParnsip: I'll be sure to contact them. In the meantime should I attempt to compile it? [23:47] zizoo: wget should be able to do that [23:47] willdo: you could I guess [23:48] zizoo: curl maybe useful too [23:48] seems theres a bug with a internal built in webcam and a usb (also internal) wifi card if the camera is accessed all networking is lost... is there anyway to prevent the camera killing the wifi?

It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

[23:56] Smashcat: have you install ubuntu-restricted-extras package? [23:56] Chuck_Norris, http://pastebin.com/mnLsP93n [23:56] Smashcat: all players use a central store of codecs, so one player isn't better than another in that sense [23:56] Smashcat: vlc or the best gnu/linux media player mplayer or both better alternatives [23:56] Does anyone know of a programmatic way to tell which kernel will be used on a system that's mounted on /mnt? I.e.- from a rescue system boot? [23:56] ActionParsnip: Nope - this is a new install. I'll do that - is there a better player in that repo? [23:57] ActionParsnip: i don't think vlc does... [23:57] Smashcat: once you install the package, all players will be able to play the video equally [23:57] zykotick9: sucks to be vlc :) [23:57] ActionParsnip: agreed ;) [23:57] ActionParsnip: Must be the installer that Movie Player uses then that's bugged. I'll try a different one [23:57] ActionParsnip, I installed Xubuntu on my landlord's computer, his name is max, his log in name is max, and the computer name is max. I just discovered is niece on the computer, so I SSHed into it, ran "who", and it showed max is being log on. [23:58] Smashcat: gnome-mplayer and vlc will also pull a few extra codecs in and you'l be able to play most anything === hybrid__ is now known as hybrid [23:58] n2diy: thats fine, that's not the guest account... [23:58] Wulfyuk: sry gtg [23:59] ActionParsnip, that's what I thought, so I changed his password. But I physically checked the computer, and terminal is showing guest@max!?
