| thomi | oops :( | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | n2diy: you could kick them off with: sudo killall -u guest | 00:00 |
| n2diy | ActionParsnip, he denied giving out his password, and the kid said she was on the guest account. | 00:00 |
| Smashcat | ActionParsnip: Cool - I used to use VLC on my old Linux workstation, but thought I'd give movie player a go as it was installed here. I know better now - haha | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Smashcat: try gnome-mplayer it's pretty sweet imho | 00:00 |
| najaroma | ciaoo | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Smashcat: if you want the whole hog, you can add the medibuntu repo and install w32codecs (or w64codecs if you use 64bit ubuntu) | 00:01 |
| natervader13 | hey does anyone know of a good music editing software I can get my hands on? | 00:02 |
| harrrismrubin | i accidently uninstalled thunderbird in 12.04 | 00:02 |
| harrrismrubin | when i reinstalled it it is not in the notification bar | 00:03 |
| bazhang | natervader13, audacity | 00:03 |
| natervader13 | well is it running? | 00:03 |
| n2diy | ActionParsnip, yes, or I could have restarted after changing his password. But I'm wondering why max showed up as being logged in, when it was the guest account? | 00:03 |
| Smashcat | ActionParsnip: Think I'm ok now - gnome-mplayer is playing my films great :-) Ubuntu need to remove that "Movie Player" trash. It's broken and not worth using | 00:03 |
| wylde_ | n2diy: I've never used it, but could it be caused by "user switching"? | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Smashcat: not used totem tbh but I always leave it in :) | 00:04 |
| gnubie | natervader13> Ardour | 00:05 |
| harrrismrubin | ActionParsnip, do you know how to re add it | 00:05 |
| kion | what is the difference between Nvidia Current-version and Nvidia Current-Updates Drivers? | 00:05 |
| Smashcat | hehe, getting over 10MB/s download on torrents atm - love my new cable connection :-))) | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | harrrismrubin: readd what? | 00:05 |
| natervader13 | gnubie: thanks ill check it out | 00:05 |
| harrrismrubin | i accidently uninstalled thunderbird in 12.04 when i reinstalled it it is not in the notification bar | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Smashcat: nice :), if you use apt-fast instead of apt-get you'll max it out more often if you update in CLI | 00:05 |
| gnubie | natervader13> my son thinks its great | 00:06 |
| Wulfyuk | smashcat downloading those linux iso's will be quick :D | 00:06 |

| n2diy | wylde, I don't know, I'm going to investigate more. The box was off before the kid logged in, so I don't think it could have been user switching? | 00:06 |
| Smashcat | Wulfyuk: heh, yeah I tried downloading Ubuntu when I had it installed - took about a minute :-) | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | harrrismrubin: not something I use personally dude, sorry. Maybe someone can list their thunderbird packages to see if you are missing anything | 00:06 |
| wylde_ | n2diy: ahh alrighty, was a thought :) | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | harrrismrubin: is there a thunderbird glob al menu package etc? | 00:06 |
| harrrismrubin | ActionParsnip, what do you use | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | harrrismrubin: webmail | 00:07 |
| harrrismrubin | is that an app | 00:07 |
| wylde_ | harrrismrubin: thunderbird-globalmenu maybe? | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | harrrismrubin: no, its just accessing your email via web browser | 00:07 |

| ActionParsnip | wylde_: sounds likely :) | 00:08 |
| * Skaperen has decided his new computer build will be without a CD/DVD drive | 00:08 | |
| Wulfyuk | Skaperen, good choice tbh ive not used mine in 2 years cd wise | 00:09 |
| Wulfyuk | flash drives ftw | 00:09 |
| Skaperen | Ubuntu images work on USB memory sticks, now, so there's no more need | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | i use mine for DVD playback and that's it. minimal install ftw :) | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Skaperen: could even setup a PXE server, no need for flash drives then :) | 00:09 |
| Skaperen | I do have a USB external DVD drive, so I could use that in a pinch | 00:09 |
| Skaperen | ActionParsnip: true ... except for the fact that this new machine will be the PXE server :) | 00:10 |
| Skaperen | temporary PXE server to the rescue | 00:10 |
| Rook | I never have figured out how to set up a PXE server. | 00:10 |
| ljsoftnet | can i change the volume of my left and rigth speakers? | 00:11 |
| wylde_ | mine get's used for making cd's to push ubuntu or other *nixs on windows users I know ;) | 00:11 |
| bairui | ...and I have my rhymes back! lyrical! \o/ | 00:11 |
| Skaperen | Rook: it's documented ... many ways ... but a long check list of things to do | 00:11 |
| Skaperen | TFTP server, DHCP server with the right configs | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ljsoftnet: run: alsamixer and you can use Q and E to increase the left or right channels individually :) | 00:11 |
| wylde_ | !yay | bairu | 00:11 |
| ubottu | bairu: Glad you made it! :-) | 00:11 |
| Wulfyuk | Skaperen, lol my last pxe server took 3-4 minutes | 00:11 |
| Rook | Skaperen: Yeah, I just haven't ever done it right. I know it's all on my end why it doesn't work, but still. I haven't done it right. :P | 00:11 |
| Skaperen | Wulfyuk: probably a one purpose server, then | 00:12 |
| Wulfyuk | to be fair it was on windows while i pxe'd a nix install over | 00:12 |
| kion | ljsoftnet: put a book infront of one :) just kidding. | 00:12 |
| wylde_ | !ltsp | 00:12 |
| ubottu | LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project | 00:12 |
| wylde_ | ^^ is uber easy using the alternative installer ;) | 00:12 |
| Smashcat | I use mine to rip DVD's/CDs - that's the only reason I keep it | 00:13 |
| === akem_ is now known as akem | ||
| Wulfyuk | quicker to download tbh smashcat (public domain ofc!) | 00:13 |
| Rook | Is this the right place to ask technical questions about Ubuntu installations? | 00:13 |
| Skaperen | USB drives are big these days ... I'd like to see someone make an image for one that has a boot selection for all editions of Ubuntu all on one | 00:13 |
| wylde_ | Rook: it is | 00:13 |
| ki4ro | Rook: ask away | 00:13 |
| Wulfyuk | you mean like a all in one windows boot cd for instance Skaperen ? | 00:14 |
| chris_is_me | Skaperen: there are multi option cds | 00:14 |
| Skaperen | dunno about windows so cannot say | 00:14 |
| Rook | The last time I installed Ubuntu on a Macbook Pro, it bricked it. Had to sell it for parts. I have a nicer one now, and it'd be a shame to brick this one, but I really don't want OS X or Windows™ as my primary OS, but I also don't want OS X hosting my 'buntu VM. | 00:14 |
| bairui | thanks, wylde_ :) | 00:14 |
| chris_is_me | Skaperen: i've got a ubuntu/kubutu/edubutu | 00:14 |
| Skaperen | chris_is_me: they'd need to be DVDs | 00:14 |
| Rook | Is there a way to install 'buntu as the primary OS without it hosing the machine's EFI? | 00:15 |
| wylde_ | bairui: np :) | 00:15 |
| chris_is_me | Skaperen: i'm not sure if my disc is cd/dvd | 00:15 |
| Wulfyuk | i remaber mandriva killing certain dvd rom drives a long time ago lol was funny as i stoped using it one version before | 00:15 |
| Skaperen | chris_is_me: I'd want Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, server edition, and both 32 bit and 64 bit of each | 00:15 |
| ljsoftnet | ActionParsnip it doesnt change left or rigth | 00:15 |
| kion | Rook: how did you installed it? I have never ever been able to even boot a usb with linux | 00:15 |
| Smashcat | Rook - as OS' go, OSX is pretty good really. Not sure what you could do inLinux over OSX on a Mac | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ljsoftnet: if you drop one all the way down on the master, keep one side up, is it different? | 00:16 |
| kion | Rook: I am pretty shure Apple is very frightened by Linux | 00:16 |
| harrrismrubin | i got it to work | 00:16 |
| Rook | Kion, they should be. They've got about the same market share. | 00:16 |
| Skaperen | kion: look what the fear did to Steve | 00:16 |
| kion | Skaperen: Agree! | 00:16 |
| Smashcat | Rook: Linux has quite a bit more of a Markey share I think, if you count Android | 00:16 |
| Smashcat | *Market | 00:17 |
| Rook | I don't. | 00:17 |
| ljsoftnet | ActionParsnip both the left and rigth move the same i cant change left or rigth, even with Q E or Z C | 00:17 |
| Rook | I don't mind OS X, but it's a memory hog for sure. It's just not as efficient as it was when Jobs was making the decisions. | 00:17 |
| Skaperen | kion: and it isn't the unix-ish-ness of it ... OSX is based on BSD (which is OK) ... it's all the closed pieces | 00:17 |
| Rook | Hecks, Win7 uses less RAM than Lion. | 00:17 |
| Smashcat | Rook: hehe, I'm pretty sure Jobs had nothing to do with OSX memory management | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Smashcat: he doesn't have much to do with anything now | 00:18 |
| Rook | Smashcat, maybe not directly, but as soon as he handed over the reins, you saw an instant move from utility and efficiency to gratuitous visual effects. | 00:18 |
| Skaperen | kion: too many corps want to control people's lives to monetize it ... Microsoft, Apple, Facebook | 00:18 |
| kion | Skaperen: OSX is as closed as it gets! | 00:18 |
| tjpoe | having some strange xorg problems. When I turn the PC on, i get display just fine. but if I turn the monitor (tv) off, and back on, or cycle thru the inputs, the monitor doesn't work when I get back. | 00:18 |
| Rook | Honestly, I'm thinking about making an image of everything off my Mac and using my OpenPandora as my primary computer. | 00:19 |
| Rook | No 'buntu, but it'd be open and efficient. | 00:19 |
| Smashcat | Rook: Not really. You know that stuff that gets rolled out today has been in the works since at least last year - when he was still in charge? Things don't change overnight | 00:19 |
| kion | Skaperen: that is why i Love my Linux Freedom! | 00:19 |
| Rook | Speaking of actual technical questions: | 00:19 |
| n2diy | After further investigation, I'm not seeing the guest logged in at all. the commands w, who, whoami and user all show max (the sudo user) as logged in, but that is actually me on the SSH connection, guest is stealth!? | 00:19 |
| Swiss38974 | hello i m looking to buy a smartphone and i d like to know if there is any ubuntu smartphone version available ? | 00:19 |
| tjpoe | Xorg.0.log output here: http://pastebin.com/mzbLX364 | 00:19 |
| Skaperen | kion: the right to choose your distro ... I have more than one here | 00:20 |
| chris_is_me | tjpoe: i had the same problem with a ati radeon over dvi, i don't think it was os specific | 00:20 |
| Smashcat | Swiss38974: Nope - Android is the better option - Linux designed for mobile. | 00:20 |
| Swiss38974 | hum | 00:20 |
| Swiss38974 | cuz on the web i remember i've seen a video | 00:20 |
| kion | Skaperen: Just as a test, I passed internet to my Macbook trough my linux box, and decided to block all the Apple's ip addresses, My Macbook went nuts trying to conect as much as 900 times a minute to different ip's under the Apple block!!!! And that was without using the computer!! | 00:21 |
| Swiss38974 | it was about a guy usuing a smartphone | 00:21 |
| chris_is_me | Swiss38974: you can run ubuntu over andriod or something though | 00:21 |
| Skaperen | kion: oh dear | 00:21 |
| Swiss38974 | and when he put the phone on a desk that became a normal ubuntu destop OS (on a normal pc screen) | 00:21 |
| Rook | Android isn't as open as pure linux in practice. Every vendor adds their own closed-source blobs and drivers and UI's and bloatware. | 00:21 |
| Smashcat | Swiss38974: People have hacked other distros onto phones, but you usually lose a lot of functionality - like making phone calls for instance | 00:21 |
| kion | Skaperen: I belive that they are spying on you to develop new products... | 00:21 |
| Rook | Can't stand closed source any more. | 00:21 |
| bucsfan914 | hey guys, about to wipe windows and do a clea install of 12.04. anything i should download beforehand to make it go easier? | 00:21 |
| Skaperen | kion: were they encrypted? did you try to let them connect and sniff them? | 00:22 |
| Swiss38974 | Smashcat : ok thank you | 00:22 |
| Smashcat | Rook: Android itself is totally open. It's the hardware drivers that are closed | 00:22 |
| Rook | Yeah, and the bloatware. | 00:22 |
| kion | Skaperen: you know what, I did not, but sounds like a gread rainy weekend project | 00:22 |
| tjpoe | worked fine in meerkat, but oneiric, it is broken | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | bucsfan914: just the install media is needed, most stuff works with the default dribvers | 00:22 |
| Skaperen | supposedly Samsung is open sourcing drivers for the Galaxy S II ... but I haven't looked to see if they are out there, yet | 00:23 |
| Rook | bucsfan914, it should go smooth if you tell it to use the whole hard drive. Just make sure you use the try before installing option to make sure your wireless cards or whatever else works. | 00:23 |
| Skaperen | kion: I hope it storms on you soon :) | 00:23 |
| bloodmoon | hi all | 00:23 |
| bucsfan914 | alright thanks! | 00:23 |
| ljsoftnet | is there a software to change my rigth speaker volume, it doesn't make any sound | 00:23 |
| bloodmoon | yea | 00:23 |
| Smashcat | Skaperen: Some of the hardware in the phones call stacks use a lot of proprietary tech I think, so they can't open them. | 00:24 |
| Skaperen | ljsoftnet: volume manager should have a balance control | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | ljsoftnet: is the plug for the speakers pushed all the way into the hole? | 00:24 |
| bloodmoon | hmmm odd mine has a balance control | 00:24 |
| zizoo | Hey, pavucontrol is not opening an application stream I want to shift off of my null output back to the sound card. It shows up for a second when I load pavucontrol, then disappears and I can't get it. How can I fix it? | 00:24 |
| ljsoftnet | ActionParsnip yes, the left and the subwoofer has sound but the rigth doesn't | 00:24 |
| Skaperen | Smashcat: they _said_ they were ... issue as you mention might delay or prevent that ... need to find out if it ever happens | 00:24 |
| Skaperen | Smashcat: if Samsung does want to go open and gain a market edge that way, they are big enough to force chip makers and such to accept open | 00:25 |
| bloodmoon | -pokes- hi all? | 00:25 |
| Smashcat | Skaperen: Android's about as open as it gets though - I develop on the platform, and also OSX - there's a big difference :-) | 00:25 |
| Skaperen | Smashcat: I need to get into doing Android ... but my love for OS building means I want ot build the whole thing from source and load my own image on to my Galaxy S II | 00:26 |
| Smashcat | Skaperen: Like most corps though, they do whatever makes the most money - if there's no advantage to opening up some other parts of a product, they don't do it | 00:27 |
| * Skaperen has had an S II for 4 months now and has never made a voice call onit ... all text and email and such | 00:27 | |
| Skaperen | the mic might not even work ... never tested it | 00:27 |
| Rook | Okay, speaking of technical questions: Anyone know how to get OpenGL acceleration working on a Trident CyberALADDiN-T, specifically in a Toshiba Portége 3500? Having issues getting DRI working properly. I don't really need it for 3D stuff, but I'd really like it for SDL programs. | 00:27 |
| fleakite | I wish there was a way to remove t mobile bloatware apps | 00:27 |
| linusoleander | Is there a way to list list memory heavy processes? | 00:27 |
| * Skaperen needs an app that turns the mic into an audio oscilliscope | 00:28 | |
| ActionParsnip | linusoleander: use: top in a termina; | 00:28 |
| * Smashcat has got a stack of S2's here, along with 20 Google Samsung Nexus phones - I do a lot of event work with microcontrollers and mobile. Got stuff everywhere atm ;-)) | 00:28 | |
| linusoleander | ActionParsnip: How do I sort by memory useable? | 00:28 |
| linusoleander | *usage | 00:28 |
| linusoleander | Just running "top" won't show anything useful | 00:29 |
| Skaperen | Smashcat: wow ... are they all unlocked or rooted? | 00:29 |
| Smashcat | Skaperen: No, just normal phones - no sim cards, unlocked - they only need wireless connections at the next event. | 00:29 |
| Skaperen | Smashcat: you got that wifi adhoc walkit-talkie app on them? | 00:29 |
| Smashcat | Skaperen: They're going to be running an app I'm working on - nothing else really. | 00:30 |
| Skaperen | Smashcat: what does your app do? gonna open source it? | 00:30 |
| fishcooker | how to write the error message of command line to file? | 00:31 |
| zizoo | pavucontrol isn't displaying some application streams that are mapped to the wrong output device. They flash on when I open it, but then disappear and can't be brought back. Any ideas how to get to them? | 00:31 |
| * Skaperen wants to get a few people's open source apps ... source of them | 00:31 | |
| Smashcat | Skaperen: No, it's specifically for a corporate event - it has no purpose outside of that. Like most of my stuff, it's all owned by the client after i hand it over. | 00:31 |
| Rook1 | Okay, I got disconnected, did anyone respond to my video card question? | 00:31 |
| linusoleander | fishcooker: cmd 2&> file | 00:31 |
| Skaperen | Smashcat: I see ... work for hire stuff | 00:31 |
| Skaperen | Smashcat: but you could build an open source app if you wanted to | 00:32 |
| Smashcat | Skaperen: Yep. I did a job for the Google stand at the Mobile World Conference inBarcelona a few months back. A Claw arcade machine controlled by an Android tablet (using tilt and touch). Even the Google CEO had a go - heh | 00:32 |
| Skaperen | Smashcat: nice | 00:33 |
| tjpoe | anyone know what these two lines in Xorg.0.log mean: | 00:33 |
| tjpoe | [ 30.820] (II) intel(0): Using EDID range info for horizontal sync | 00:33 |
| tjpoe | [ 30.820] (II) intel(0): Using EDID range info for vertical refresh | 00:33 |
| Skaperen | means it is understanding your monitor better | 00:33 |
| Smashcat | Skaperen: You can see it on Youtube still I think. Had little Android toys in it for people to win. There were queues on it (plus 2 other clone machines) all day every day at the conference :-) | 00:33 |
| fishcooker | it works linusoleander | 00:34 |
| tjpoe | that is what shows up when I turn the monitor back on. and i get no video | 00:34 |
| fishcooker | thanks | 00:34 |
| linusoleander | fishcooker: np | 00:34 |
| tjpoe | [ 30.820] (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: | 00:35 |
| tjpoe | followed by all the modes the monitor can handle | 00:35 |
| Nosophorus | hi | 00:35 |
| tjpoe | i never input any of those modes, they are default values, would it be beneficial to hard code the resolution & settings I want? | 00:35 |
| Skaperen | if your monitor and X can agree on modes, if it fails it's likely some other issue | 00:35 |
| Skaperen | the EDID messages are normal | 00:36 |
| Skaperen | at least those are | 00:36 |
| escott | tjpoe, its just rereading the edid information when the monitor comes back on | 00:36 |
| tjpoe | it doesn't indicate a problem? | 00:36 |
| Skaperen | the monitor will tell it the normal geometry, and if the video card can handle it, that would be the usual default | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | tjpoe: is the screen ok otherwise? | 00:36 |
| tjpoe | no, the screen works fine when I boot up, but when I turn it off and back on, it doesn't detect a signal (like it has gone to sleep, but it has only been 5 seconds) | 00:37 |
| Skaperen | if you have a modern ATI or NVIDIA based video card with more than enough VRAM for your monitor size, that part isn't an issue | 00:37 |
| tjpoe | if I press a keyboard button, it "wakes up" but only to a black screen | 00:38 |
| Skaperen | if it got EDID data, it got the monitor's size | 00:38 |
| Smashcat | tjpoe: I had that problem on this Dell laptop - had to press the monitor button (that wswitches between the screen and an external display) | 00:38 |
| tking0037 | can someone help me... when i turn my computer on i get this message saying waiting for network configuration... | 00:39 |
| Smashcat | tjpoe: I think the brightness button worked too. | 00:39 |
| tking0037 | ive tried wicd and network-manager and they both produce the same problem | 00:39 |
| tjpoe | hmm. it isn't a laptop, it is an intel based mac mini | 00:39 |
| Skaperen | tking0037: one of the network setting steps is taking longer than normal ... does it eventually work after a few minutes? | 00:39 |
| tking0037 | it will eventually boot up but i have to start network-manager manually | 00:40 |
| Smashcat | tjpoe: Ah ok | 00:40 |
| Skaperen | tking0037: check to see if you have /etc/network/interfaces configured with any NICs that are not really present | 00:40 |
| tking0037 | eth0 is usually unplugged | 00:41 |
| tking0037 | but i have network-manager managing that... shouldnt it know to disable that | 00:41 |
| Skaperen | tking0037: then is eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces ? | 00:41 |
| Skaperen | tking0037: it won't if it's hard configured | 00:41 |
| Smashcat | tjpoe: I did have the same problem with a Dell PC - but that's in a MAME cabinet now, and doesn't get a chance to go to sleep when I'm playing on it :-) | 00:41 |
| tking0037 | its only configured for network-manager to manage it and that it is dhcp | 00:41 |
| tking0037 | should i give it a static ip? | 00:42 |
| Skaperen | tking0037: no ... DHCP should be sufficient | 00:42 |
| Skaperen | unless you have a specific need for a static IP, use DHCP if you have that on your LAN | 00:42 |
| tking0037 | im just trying to fix the problem | 00:42 |
| tking0037 | should i disable eth0 with network-manager | 00:43 |
| Skaperen | tking0037: you could try a fully static IP config and see if that makes it consistently work | 00:43 |
| tking0037 | what does that mean | 00:43 |
| sancas19 | hello!! | 00:43 |
| Skaperen | tking0037: yeah, disable eth0 for testing ... but it should handle it normally | 00:43 |
| sancas19 | i update my system and when i restart it pff... ubuntu die.. | 00:44 |
| sancas19 | Xorg cant start | 00:44 |
| tking0037 | ok ... im going to restart ill brb | 00:44 |
| sancas19 | now im in the live ubuntu | 00:44 |
| devkorcvince | clear | 00:45 |

| fishbait | i have samba installed ubuntu 12.04 workgroup matches and i am trying to access \\192.168.100.100\public theres no password required how do i access this | 00:47 |
| sacarlson | fishbait: can you see it in nautilus? | 00:47 |
| fishbait | how do i switch to that? | 00:47 |
| sacarlson | fishbait: in ubuntu 10.04 is what you see in places | 00:48 |
| fishbait | i'm on 12.04 in xfce4 | 00:48 |
| sacarlson | fishbait: oh I'm not sure nautilus would be a part of xfce4 as I think it's a gnome app | 00:49 |
| fishbait | its located in my router running dd-wrt | 00:49 |
| n2diy | sacarlson, fishbait, thunar is the file manager with xfce4 | 00:49 |
| === andy_ is now known as Guest61421 | ||
| n0t | Does anybody know what programs use port 50691? | 00:49 |
| fishbait | yes and i can get to nautilus somehow i just don't know how | 00:50 |
| sacarlson | n0t: sounds like a random port like maybe an input to a browser or java or ? is something listening on that port? | 00:50 |
| escott | fishbait, i nautilus smb://192.168.100.100/public | 00:51 |
| sacarlson | n0t: also torrents | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | n0t: you could use netstat to search | 00:52 |
| n0t | sacarlson: I'm having 1000s of random IPs from all over the world being blocked by my router(I've been trace routing them and dns lookups), attempting to connect to my router using port 50691. | 00:52 |
| fishbait | ty that did it | 00:52 |
| fishcooker | how to use *.sig file .. is it just like md5sum.. i want to check is the cygwin setup is valid or not | 00:53 |
| Rook | 32 or 64 bit? | 00:53 |
| n0t | My router logs are getting huge, its just being spammed every couple of seconds and slowing down my net :( | 00:53 |
| devkorcvince | n0t: are you using torrent apps? | 00:53 |
| devkorcvince | n0t: or downloading via torrent? | 00:53 |
| sacarlson | n0t: my guess it's a torrent that might be from a session of the previose lease holder of that ip address | 00:54 |
| n0t | I have none running atm. | 00:54 |
| josue | so confused | 00:54 |
| fishcooker | is there any mechanism that apt will work with using the fastest repo? | 00:54 |
| Rook | I'm sorry, I meant to keep my question simple, but I feel I have just been confusing. Should I use the 32 or 64 bit Ubuntu Desktop? 1 GB RAM, so I don't need 64 bits, strictly speaking. | 00:55 |
| sacarlson | fishcooker: there is an app that searches repository mirors to find the best connection for your location | 00:55 |
| fishcooker | 32bit desktop | 00:55 |
| escott | Rook, with such a small amount of ram you should probably go 32bit | 00:55 |
| fishcooker | Rook: | 00:55 |
| devkorcvince | Rook: Just use 32 | 00:55 |
| fishcooker | +1 escott | 00:55 |
| wylde_ | Rook: if you have no specific need for 64, use 32 | 00:55 |
| Rook | Thank you all. | 00:56 |
| n0t | josue: what about? | 00:56 |
| fishcooker | what's it sacarlson | 00:56 |
| sacarlson | fishcooker: I don't know I forget | 00:56 |
| Skaperen | Rook: 32 bit can't lose on 1G ... and is fine even on 3G or 4G | 00:56 |
| josue_ | i dont even know what im doing... to be honest | 00:56 |
| fishcooker | c'mon sacarlson.. :-) | 00:57 |
| josue_ | first time to actually use this | 00:57 |
| Skaperen | but personally, I go with 64 bit now for anything above 1GB | 00:57 |
| Skaperen | if the CPU can handle it ... no choice on my EEE netbooks | 00:57 |

| Skaperen | sexykilla: go away, spammer | 00:58 |
| Rook | I know that 32 bit is supposedly more "compatible," but I haven't run into any problems trying to run things on 64-bit. I'm a bit hazy on what the actual benefit to 64-bit OS's. They use more memory, but can process bigger things (or possibly chunks of things at a time). | 00:58 |
| n0t | 64 bit == has more pointers | 00:59 |
| ronald2 | wow | 00:59 |
| Skaperen | Rook: I have a dual arch USB memory stick rescue image if you want it ... though it is currently slackware based | 00:59 |

| fishbait | oh yeah that kind of thing misused can delete the whole drive | 01:02 |
| ronald2 | anything recursively is dangerous....... | 01:02 |
| Rook | I had to learn that the hard way. | 01:03 |
| ronald2 | i know thats right rook, i did too | 01:03 |
| Skaperen | fishbait: hint: type "(" before typing a command, so you don't accidentally run in until you can look it over to be sure it is safe ... then append a ) on the end when you are sure | 01:03 |
| fishbait | oh ty for the tip | 01:04 |
| === Guest61421 is now known as AndyKing | ||
| Rook | Skaperen: That is an awesome idea. | 01:04 |
| Skaperen | Rook: everyone learns it the hard way ... ONCE | 01:04 |
| fishbait | ok net drive access set | 01:04 |
| ronald2 | yerah once....lol | 01:04 |
| n2diy | cq ki7rw | 01:04 |
| Rook | And if you learn the hard way twice, did you really learn it the first time? | 01:04 |
| wylde_ | my hard lessons was backups. Now I backup often heh | 01:04 |
| ronald2 | some things i had to learn more than once.....'cocaine is one hell of a drug' | 01:04 |
| Skaperen | Rook: like I said :) | 01:04 |
| fishcooker | i've question is the new laptop technology will automaticaly switch to ac plugged in after battery is fully charged? | 01:05 |
| Skaperen | Rook: they make screw up hundreds of times ... then they learn it once | 01:05 |
| josue_ | anybody like to help out this ubuntu/linux newb? | 01:05 |
| ki7rw | what's a good voip client for linux that can call regular phones? | 01:05 |
| Rook | fishcooker: It should use AC to run the laptop even when charging it if you have it plugged in. | 01:05 |
| Skaperen | josue_: not until we know what the problem is | 01:05 |
| === josue_ is now known as Sway17 | ||
| Rook | ki7rw, does it have to be FOSS? If not, Skype. | 01:06 |
| Rook | At least until Microsoft kills Linux support for it. | 01:06 |
| Skaperen | running on AC *and* charging at the same time either overstresses the adapter or slows down the charging, on most models | 01:06 |
| ki7rw | skype works ok but it appears that you can't set it up to allow others see who's calling | 01:06 |
| Sway17 | the problem is... this is my first time in an IRC and i just got Ubuntu this morning never knowing much about the Linux OS' | 01:07 |
| fishcooker | what should i do to preserve battery life span Skaperen? | 01:07 |
| sacarlson | fishcooker: I guess it does since when I don't have a battery installed the laptop still works | 01:07 |
| wylde_ | Sway17: ...and then...? | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Sway17: you'll learn with time :) | 01:07 |
| Skaperen | Sway17: did you install yet? if so, which version and edition (editions are like "kubuntu" or such) | 01:07 |
| natervader13 | Sway17: its pretty simple once you use it a little. If you know a good part of windows then your fine | 01:07 |
| fishcooker | should i remove the ac plugin when it is fully charged sacarlson | 01:08 |
| sacarlson | fishcooker: no | 01:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Rook: microsoft make money with the Linux app so will more than likely support it | 01:08 |
| Skaperen | once it is fully charged, running on AC just leaves it charged | 01:08 |
| Sway17 | im starting to slowly get it | 01:08 |
| Skaperen | I run my netbooks on AC when not carrying them around | 01:08 |
| Rook | ActionParsnip: For now. | 01:08 |
| fishcooker | with battery installed Skaperen | 01:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Rook: we'll see | 01:09 |
| Skaperen | Sway17: Linux (and BSD and Unix) are a different kind of world ... one we love ... one that is new to you | 01:09 |
| Rook | ActionParsnip: Yes, we most certainly will. I hope things pan out in the long run for Skype, even if not for Microsoft. | 01:09 |
| Skaperen | Sway17: no popups trying to sell you on software or a service | 01:09 |
| Sway17 | yeah i noticed that | 01:10 |
| Sway17 | i love it so far | 01:10 |
| wylde_ | Sway17: learn to love the command line ;) Not that you can't accomplish things the GUI way, you'll just realize how much faster and lots of time easier from commandline. | 01:10 |
| === marcelo is now known as Guest538 | ||
| Sway17 | hahaha ill keep that in mind | 01:10 |
| Rook | Skaperen: But there can be, people just care a bit more about their software design than to add ads. Nothing's saying they can't. | 01:10 |
| Rook | Hooray labors of love! | 01:10 |
| Skaperen | learn both command line an GUI ... I'm an old graybeard command line guy ... but I do it in xterm, now | 01:10 |
| Sway17 | i think im slowly stepping to the dark side | 01:11 |
| Sway17 | i got my friend from work who got me checking this out | 01:11 |
| Rook | Sway17, the dark side isn't Linux. Linux is the good guys, from a philosophical standpoint. | 01:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Sway17: its good to try new things | 01:11 |
| Skaperen | Sway17: ah, so you are installing deathbuntu? | 01:11 |
| josue_ | so ubuntu is a bad OS? | 01:12 |
| Skaperen | Vubuntu ... the Ubuntu for Vampires ... runs on blood at night | 01:12 |
| Rook | Did anybody need me for anything else before I go? | 01:12 |
| Skaperen | josue_: yeah ... bad for those that prefer something else | 01:13 |
| Skaperen | Rook: just come back again sometime | 01:13 |
| AndyKing | i got some problems when i create a extended partition on my disk | 01:13 |
| Rook | Skaperen: I intend to. | 01:13 |
| === zz_Htbrdd is now known as Htbrdd | ||
| AndyKing | when i use fdisk, there is no extended option | 01:14 |
| josue_ | i actually got the Mint 13: Cinnamon from my work buddy earlier today | 01:14 |
| josue_ | is that any good? | 01:14 |
| ActionParsnip | josue_: depends on needs, in most cases its good. In some cases it's not | 01:14 |
| Skaperen | josue_: Linux Mint is OK | 01:15 |
| ActionParsnip | josue_: mint and cinammon are not supported here | 01:15 |
| Skaperen | josue_: some limitations sometimes in its repositories | 01:15 |
| josue_ | yeah.... so any OS' near limitless? | 01:15 |
| Skaperen | yeah, they do have their own channels ... if you use them, ask help there ... some people here are there, too (to give you an idea) | 01:16 |
| AndyKing | i only got primary and logical options, no entended | 01:16 |
| ActionParsnip | josue_: all software has limitations. | 01:16 |
| Skaperen | josue_: there are some junk and/or unsupported distros around ... beware ... caveat emptor ... but Mint is not one of those | 01:16 |
| josue_ | roger that | 01:17 |
| Skaperen | here we do ubuntu | 01:17 |
| wylde_ | josue_: my advice startging, use "stable" OS's and software versions. Trying to go bleeding edge when you aren't sure about what you're doing = MAJOR headaches | 01:17 |
| josue_ | thanks yal i really do appreciate the assistance | 01:17 |
| josue_ | yal take care | 01:17 |
| Skaperen | josue_: I'd suggest Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for now ... then if you feel you want more out of it, ask around | 01:17 |
| josue_ | i have that at the moment i think | 01:18 |
| linelevel | Did Ubuntu really drop support in 12.04 for 32-bit non-PAE processors? | 01:18 |
| josue_ | thanks! | 01:18 |
| kfank | unity question - I have several terminals open. When I click the "shrink" button on the terminal window, how do I get it back? | 01:18 |
| Skaperen | linelevel: kernel did ... not sure which versions | 01:18 |
| Skaperen | linelevel: oh wait, you said NON-pae | 01:19 |
| wylde_ | kfank: "shrink"? You mean minimize? | 01:19 |
| kfank | right | 01:19 |
| Skaperen | linelevel: PAE support in the kernel is being dropped | 01:19 |
| wylde_ | kfank: look at the icon on the launch bar. It will have a small arrow or two next to it if there are minimized windows related to it. | 01:20 |
| Skaperen | anyone running more than 4GB on a 32-bit only CPU these days is silly | 01:20 |
| escott | linelevel, the x32 abi is a better choice for those who want >4GB ram and 32bit userspace | 01:20 |
| ActionParsnip | linelevel: install xubuntu or lubuntu first then, they don't use the PAE kernel by default | 01:20 |
| * Skaperen still has a server running 32-bit Slackware with 8GB ... that will be phased out when the new computer arrives | 01:20 | |
| ActionParsnip | Skaperen: i have a dual core 32bit systemm, could have more than 4Gb in it... | 01:21 |
| Skaperen | ActionParsnip: one of my netbooks is a dual core atom 32-bit onlt | 01:22 |
| Daekdroom | Skaperen, it's the opposite. | 01:22 |
| Daekdroom | Non-PAE kernels are being dropped from Ubuntu | 01:22 |
| Daekdroom | Not because they expect everyone to have 4GiB RAM but because most CPUs these days support PAE and it takes too much effort to maintain so many different kernels. | 01:22 |
| Skaperen | that 8gb server is dual 4-core xeon and can do 64-bit, but at the time I built it I was not ready to switch over to 64 bit | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Daekdroom: not in xubuntu.. | 01:23 |
| Daekdroom | ActionParsnip, isn't it getting removed from the repos in 12.10? | 01:23 |
| Skaperen | when the new box arrives, it will become the new server, then the old server gets a makeover | 01:23 |
| Skaperen | Daekdroom: well, that won't fly for too long, since PAE support is being dropped by the kernel at some point | 01:24 |
| Daekdroom | Skaperen, why? | 01:25 |
| Skaperen | Daekdroom: PAE is a messy hack and has limited the way they can clean up the kernel | 01:25 |
| TransitTycoon | how do I add an alternate user to the sudoers file? | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Daekdroom: http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/linux-image | 01:25 |
| kfank | wylde_: Okay, so I need to double-click on terminal icon to get view of all running terminals, then go click on the one I want? | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Daekdroom: seems all 3 exist. :) | 01:25 |
| wylde_ | kfank: yep. | 01:25 |
| Daekdroom | ActionParsnip, Yeah, I'm looking at that. | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | TransitTycoon: just add the user to the admin group and it will have access to sudo | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | TransitTycoon: you don't need to mess with the sudoers file | 01:26 |
| Skaperen | Daekdroom: when the kernel itself needs to access specific userland data, it needs to get the real address/pointer ... and in 32-bit mode it has to use a function call to make use of it | 01:26 |
| sacarlson | TransitTycoon: you can add another user to the sudo or admin group to add them to sudoer also | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Daekdroom: I use quantal on my lappy but the CPU suports PAE | 01:26 |
| TransitTycoon | ActionParsnip: Negative; running an unstable | 01:26 |
| Daekdroom | ActionParsnip, linux-meta lists linux-generic-pae package as 'transitional package'. | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | TransitTycoon: how do you mean 'unstable'? | 01:26 |
| kfank | wylde_: okay, thanks. No quicker shortcuts available? | 01:26 |
| Daekdroom | Which means that -generic must have PAE now. | 01:26 |
| TransitTycoon | ActionParsnip: Distro Upgrade, 12.10 sortof | 01:26 |
| Skaperen | Daekdroom: that means thousands of places in the kernel do function calls to let the kernel peek at userspace data | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | TransitTycoon: then ask in #ubuntu+1 | 01:27 |
| TransitTycoon | ActionParsnip: thanks! | 01:27 |
| wylde_ | kfank: other than alt+tab not that I know of. I'm not using unity atm either though. | 01:27 |
| Poddo | Can anyone help me with an email question? I can't access comcast's webmail app on 12.04 | 01:27 |
| Daekdroom | ActionParsnip, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/3.4.0.5.7 | 01:27 |
| Skaperen | Daekdroom: when the memory model allows a whole process to be mapped AND the whole real RAM to be mapped ... at the same time from the kernel's view, then that isn't needed | 01:28 |
| kfank | wylde_: Ahh, alt-tab. That works for me. | 01:28 |
| wylde_ | :) | 01:28 |
| escott | Poddo, what happens when you try | 01:28 |
| Skaperen | Daekdroom: in 32-bit that is limited to 1GB or 2GB RAM depending on which of 2 models are chosen ... so later 32-bit kernels may be limited to 2GB rather than 4GB | 01:28 |
| Poddo | escott, it just says the connection was reset while the page was loading. | 01:29 |
| Skaperen | Daekdroom: well, definitely limited to 2GB and maybe 1GB ... no way to map real and virtual at 4GB | 01:29 |
| Daekdroom | Skaperen, I honestly didn't understand much after 'limited the way they can clean up the kernel'. | 01:29 |
| Skaperen | Daekdroom: oh, sorry | 01:29 |
| Poddo | escott, it works on the same computerr under windows, other computers in the house as well. Other websites and mail services work on the ubuntu computer (gmail, yahoo) | 01:30 |
| Skaperen | Daekdroom: summary: by eliminating PAE support, and limiting real RAM to 2GB or 1GB in 32-bit, a lot of the kernel can be cleaned up | 01:30 |
| escott | Poddo, what browser are you using on the other machines | 01:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Skaperen: true but Lubuntu and Xubuntu are designed for low end systems mainaly, which may not have PAE facilities... | 01:31 |
| === MartinS is now known as Guest95243 | ||
| escott | Skaperen, you mean they are dropping some i386 HIGHMEM as well? | 01:31 |
| Daekdroom | Skaperen, it still seems to me that it'd only make sense for them to drop PAE when there's no reason to stick with 32-bit. | 01:31 |
| Poddo | escott, chrome on most of the other computers, but I've tested it with firefox as well | 01:31 |
| === Frood is now known as Frood|Game | ||
| Skaperen | ActionParsnip: which is fine ... but they won't be able to use more than 2GB | 01:31 |
| escott | Poddo, and what are you using on the machine that isnt working? | 01:32 |
| Skaperen | ActionParsnip: largest allowed user space virtual memory size for one process PLUS the real memory size PLUS any hardware reserved memory cannot exceed 4GB on a non-PAE 32-bit kernel | 01:33 |
| Poddo | escott, I've tried firefox, since it was default installed, and also chromium | 01:33 |
| escott | Poddo, odd. does it require flash or anything? | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Skaperen: max ram for 32bit is 3.2Gb | 01:33 |
| Skaperen | ActionParsnip: there is a way to use 3GB RAM ... but limit processes to 1GB which also limits executable size to even smaller like I think 256MB | 01:33 |
| Poddo | escott, not that I know of. I've tried just pinging the server that it tries to connect to and get no response either | 01:34 |
| adarshaj_dev | I wanted to know how to deploy a dkms based module to launchpad ppa for auto building, any links/suggestions? | 01:34 |
| Skaperen | ActionParsnip: that varies a bit, actually ... but the issue is how much of that you want a Linux kernel to be able to use | 01:34 |
| escott | Poddo, is the page source being downloaded correctly | 01:34 |
| Poddo | escott, this time when I pinged the server I got "icmp_seq=49 Packet filtered | 01:34 |
| Alan502 | Hi, I have installed the drivers for my wifi device with ndisgtk (ndiswrapper gui). The device shows as "connected" on ndisgtk but I can't see it on network manager or iwconfig; what could be wrong | 01:35 |
| Alan502 | ? | 01:35 |
| wylde_ | adarshaj_dev: make a launchpad account and you get access to 2GB to use for ppa's | 01:35 |
| Skaperen | ActionParsnip: the kernel code has to be able to see ALL of RAM and ALL of the current process VM in a single 4GB view w/o PAE | 01:35 |
| adarshaj_dev | wylde_: Thanks for that, any links specific to deploying a kernel module on launchpad? | 01:35 |
| escott | Poddo, if everything else works when browsing the web i dont see what difference that would make | 01:35 |
| Skaperen | ActionParsnip: and the user space VM is divided up in 3 or 4 parts, too | 01:36 |
| * wylde_ is wondering if he's surrounded by kernel devs | 01:36 | |
| wylde_ | adarshaj_dev: probably in launchpad's help system. I don't have any links handy. I'll look real quick tho | 01:36 |
| Zeelot | hey guys, I used to have an option to close windows with middle click in the Scale Compiz plugin but I can't find it in 12.04, anyone know why? | 01:37 |
| trism | adarshaj_dev: it shouldn't be any different than any other package, since the module isn't actually built until you install the dkms package | 01:37 |
| sacarlson | adarshaj_dev: only app I know that has kernel modules that compile at install is virtualbox, maybe take a look inside there deb file as an example | 01:37 |
| adarshaj_dev | trism: Oh, right. Thanks for that insight. | 01:38 |
| DeckardCain | how do I get sound in wine? I played with the settings in winecfg -> audio, but no luck so far. | 01:38 |
| Skaperen | ActionParsnip: BTW, if you have a system that is stuck on 32-bit user space for some reason, you CAN switch the kernel to 64-bit (don't forget to update modules, too) ... then the memory model actually allows full 4GB per 32-bit process AND as much RAM as your machine supports, in the clean way | 01:38 |
| adarshaj_dev | sacarlson: Cool, that closely matches with my usecase. Will checkout :) | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Skaperen: I'd just reinstall to get 64bit apps personaly, well tbh I'd just install the right arch first time :) | 01:39 |
| Skaperen | ActionParsnip: as would I | 01:40 |
| Skaperen | 32-bit is the exception around here just because of a couple legacy machines I've been too lazy to upgrade, and the netbooks that can only do 32 | 01:40 |
| wylde_ | adarshaj_dev: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas might at least get you started. | 01:41 |
| Skaperen | that an my rescue USB system is dual-arch | 01:41 |
| escott | Skaperen, how did you make that? | 01:41 |
| Skaperen | uh oh ... email from my boss | 01:41 |
| Skaperen | oh, no problem ... she liked my plan for 2 drupal tests sites | 01:42 |
| adarshaj_dev | wylde_: Thanks for that link, it seems to give me right pointers :) | 01:42 |
| Relondo | Where does Ubuntu install games and other applications, by default? | 01:42 |
| wylde_ | Relondo: /bin /usr/bin | 01:43 |
| escott | Relondo, most applications end up in /usr, but its not a single folder per application the resources are spread around based on type | 01:43 |
| Skaperen | escott: I made a script that makes the image that I dd to USB memory sticks ... but for now it is based on Slackware 13.37 ... other versions later ... I'm expecting to release this project before the other distros ... so maybe other people will do those | 01:43 |
| wylde_ | Relondo: you can also use 'locate thisbinariesname' after you 'sudo updatedb' | 01:44 |
| escott | Skaperen, im just wondering what you mean by "dual-architecture" do you mean you have a system you can boot and choose to go 64bit or 32bit so as to be able to chroot into either? | 01:44 |
| Skaperen | escott: you pick 32 vs 64 at the boot menu for now ... later I'll be making the boot menu gray out the 64 bit choices on 32-bit only CPUs | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Relondo: its to appeal to a bigger audience. I uninstall them myself | 01:44 |
| Relondo | wylde_: Not sure how to do that. | 01:44 |
| fanzhen | I lost my mails in thunderbird . can anyone tell me where is the archive mails?? | 01:44 |
| Skaperen | escott: it has the choice, but it's not chroot based ... it uses pivot_root() | 01:44 |
| escott | Skaperen, and did you do that by having two different root partitons or something more complex | 01:44 |
| Alan502 | Hi, I have installed the drivers for my wifi device with ndisgtk (ndiswrapper gui). The device shows as "connected" on ndisgtk but I can't see it on network manager or iwconfig; what could be wrong? | 01:45 |
| wylde_ | Relondo: are you using unity or gnome shell? | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Relondo: the playdeb ppa has a tonne of games though if you want games. Urbanterror is a fantastic game if you like counterstrike with wall jumping :) | 01:45 |
| Relondo | actionparsnip: I'm talking about stuff I installed myself. | 01:45 |
| Relondo | wylde_: Unity. | 01:45 |
| Skaperen | escott: actually they are both in ONE partition (ONE filesystem) ... I do bind mount of the selected directory ("root32" vs "root64") then pivot the bind mounted mount point to be / | 01:45 |
| ggz | hi | 01:45 |
| Relondo | And I have yet to find it in either of those places you guys mentioned. | 01:46 |
| Skaperen | escott: that after hunting down the correct device via UUID | 01:46 |
| fanzhen | where does the thunderbird save the archive mail ??? I lost all mails of last year. | 01:46 |
| Skaperen | escott: it's done in a little C program I wrote that runs before /sbin/init runs | 01:46 |
| wylde_ | Relondo: ok ctrl+alt+t will open a terminal, then enter "sudo updatedb" (no quotes) once that finishes you can look for files using" locate thisfilename" | 01:46 |
| roasted | Question - is there a way to get the "displays" menu in system settings to display in the system tray with the clock, etc? I'm trying to find some sort of display manager that stays "docked" in the upper right corner for easy switching. | 01:46 |
| escott | Skaperen, cool | 01:46 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | Is it possible to get a virus if I open/install an EXE file with virus/malware in them thru WINE ? | 01:47 |
| sacarlson | Relondo: did you compile the apps you speak of? | 01:47 |
| escott | fanzhen, ~/.thunderbird | 01:47 |
| ggz | i just upgraded to 12.04 and networkmanager don't configure my network card anymore (says "not ready" (non pret) in the menu), it works fine with "sudo dhclient", do you know how to fix it ? | 01:47 |
| Skaperen | escott: I'll be distributing the build kit, not the image for dd-ing ... you make your own image ... so it's easier to customize | 01:47 |
| Relondo | sacarlson: All I know is that I installed Super Meat Boy through Ubuntu Software Center, and I need to get at its install files. | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | n1ckn4me09876543: it will only affect your ~/.wine folder | 01:48 |
| escott | Skaperen, it would be nice to have something like that on the livecd | 01:48 |
| fanzhen | escott , but I dont know how to import the archives and not find the archive file... | 01:48 |
| escott | fanzhen, unless you ask for one im not sure it makes one | 01:48 |
| Relondo | wylde_: That worked. Thanks. | 01:48 |
| DeckardCain | how do I get sound in wine? I played with the settings in winecfg -> audio, but no luck so far. | 01:49 |
| wylde_ | Relondo: np :) | 01:49 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | ActionParsnip, oic | 01:49 |
| sacarlson | Relondo: you can look in synaptic right click the app and look at properties>file list and see the path of each file in the package | 01:49 |
| Relondo | sacarlson: Ah, okay. Thanks for that, too. | 01:49 |
| fanzhen | escott, it is the thunderbird's default configuration ... | 01:49 |
| Skaperen | escott: I use to run another script I wrote that too Ubuntu ISOs and morphed them into hybrid ISOs ... did then for when I was working on the Easypeasy derivative of Ubuntu ... but it worked fine on Ubuntu itself ... but now I don't need to do that anymore | 01:50 |
| Skaperen | too=took | 01:50 |
| * Skaperen believes anything worth doing is worth scripting | 01:51 | |
| sacarlson | ggz: I guess as a work around you could setup your system with a static ip address | 01:51 |
| escott | Skaperen, it would be nice to avoid the "should i download the 64bit or 32bit install image" | 01:51 |
| Skaperen | escott: yeah ... but a dual arch is larger | 01:51 |
| escott | Skaperen, i think they were going to give up on the 700MB size anyways | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | true and non techy users may be irked by a menu system at install etc | 01:52 |
| ggz | sacarlson: you mean setup dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces ? yes i could, but it would be nice to know the problem =) | 01:52 |
| Skaperen | escott: yeah, they should ... people use USB memory sticks more and more these days | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | escott: I payed for Linux Tycoon game, the only bugbear folks had was my distro didn't fit on a CD, the year was 2050 :), very funny | 01:53 |
| escott | ActionParsnip, no need for the menu. just check if the cpu supports long mode and install a 64bit system if it does | 01:53 |
| Relondo | How can I change the permissions for a folder without being the owner? | 01:53 |
| Skaperen | only older machines have CD non-DVD drives ... so Xubuntu and its friends will probably still have small base install media | 01:53 |
| escott | Relondo, sudo | 01:53 |
| === Htbrdd is now known as zz_Htbrdd | ||
| wylde_ | !sudo | Relondo | 01:54 |
| ubottu | Relondo: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 01:54 |
| sacarlson | ggz: I agree and I'm sure there are many ways to get it to work, I would assume it's in the sequence of upstart | 01:54 |
| ActionParsnip | escott: tru, cat /proc/cpuinfo could easily by used :) | 01:54 |
| Relondo | escott: I don't know the terminal commands for that. I need to know either the commands or the way to do it graphically :/ | 01:54 |
| Skaperen | FYI I use syslinux for booting on the memory stick rescue project, not grub ... easier to work with in the script that generates it | 01:55 |
| xangua | Relondo: and why do you want to change the permisions on a directory you don't own¿ explain what you want to do | 01:55 |
| sacarlson | ggz: did you already say you tried wicd? | 01:55 |
| escott | Skaperen, sorry one more question. im just curious on the technicals. by the time the kernel is ready to run a program to select the rootfs and do the pivot... you would have to have a kernel. so how do you pick what kind of kernel to boot? | 01:55 |
| Relondo | xangua: I'm editing some .cfg files for a game, but I lack the permissions to do so. | 01:55 |
| escott | Relondo, do you want to change permissions or ownership? | 01:56 |
| Relondo | Better yet, how do I make myself the owner of all files? | 01:56 |
| wylde_ | Relondo: "sudo gedit /path/to/file" will work. | 01:56 |
| Relondo | escott: Either would serve my purposes, I suppose. | 01:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Relondo: gksudo gedit /path/to/filename.cfg | 01:56 |
| ActionParsnip | wylde_: gksudo for gui apps, not sudo | 01:56 |
| Skaperen | http://phil.ipal.org/minne-pinne-0.4.0-96.png <-- what my boot menu looks like | 01:56 |
| wylde_ | oops my bad, yes should have been gksu | 01:56 |
| Relondo | Actionparsnip: Thanks. | 01:57 |
| Relondo | wylde_: No problem. | 01:57 |
| escott | Relondo, i would go with ActionParsnip's suggestion and just edit as root | 01:57 |
| Relondo | K. | 01:57 |
| wylde_ | I wish kdesu worked. -.- | 01:58 |
| freespirit-girl | I am trying to in stall Java on Ubuntu and i am having a hard time | 01:58 |
| wylde_ | I know it's only 2 characters but hey... | 01:58 |
| ActionParsnip | freespirit-girl: there is a PPA for Oracle java 1.7 if you want... | 01:58 |
| freespirit-girl | well i was trying to use this.. http://www.devsniper.com/ubuntu-12-04-install-sun-jdk-6-7/ | 01:59 |
| ggz | scarybeasts: no, wicd is an alternative to networkmanager ? | 01:59 |
| ActionParsnip | freespirit-girl: http://thecybergal.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/install-oracle-javajdk7-in-ubuntu.html | 02:00 |
| Loshki | Relondo: also, get into the habit of making a quick backup before you edit e.g. sudo cp /path/to/filename.cfg /path/to/filename.cfg.bak | 02:01 |
| Relondo | Loshki: Thanks for the tip. | 02:02 |
| freespirit-girl | Thanks!!! that link looks so much more easier to understand ActionParsnip | 02:02 |
| DeckardCain | how do I get sound in wine? I played with the settings in winecfg -> audio, but no luck so far. | 02:03 |
| wylde_ | DeckardCain: #winehq would probably be able to help with that. | 02:03 |
| ActionParsnip | DeckardCain: ask in #winehq too | 02:03 |
| Dr_Willis | it may depend on what you are running in wine also | 02:03 |
| DeckardCain | k, thx | 02:04 |
| DeckardCain | Dr_Willis: the winecfg test sound button and diablo 2 | 02:04 |
| Skaperen | it may depend on the default volume setting wine has in the audio system | 02:04 |
| Dr_Willis | check the wine app database yet? | 02:04 |
| harrrismrubin | at the notification bar there is a message about respiratory fail what do i do to fix it or remove the respitory | 02:04 |
| Dr_Willis | You mean Repository? | 02:05 |
| harrrismrubin | yes | 02:05 |
| wylde_ | zomg, get it to the ER stat! | 02:05 |
| Skaperen | see Sound Preferences, applications tab, to be sure wine shows up with a reasonable volume setting ... if it does not who up, ask #winehq | 02:05 |
| wylde_ | </ot> >.> | 02:05 |
| Dr_Willis | wylde_: :) thats what i was thinking | 02:05 |
| Skaperen | not show up... | 02:05 |
| DeckardCain | Dr_Willis: app database? for the built-in test button? | 02:06 |
| harrrismrubin | at the notification bar there is a message about Repository fail what do i do to fix it or remove the Repository | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | harrrismrubin: which repository? | 02:06 |
| harrrismrubin | idk | 02:06 |
| sacarlson | ggz yes wicd is an alternate for network-manager not sure it will correct the problem you say you have | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | harrrismrubin: use the command line 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' look for some error messages with real info | 02:07 |
| wylde_ | harrrismrubin: if it's been there for a while try 'sudp apt-get update', if that completes properly then it was probably a network failure of some sort when it was looking for updates. | 02:07 |

| escott | harrrismrubin, perhaps those ppa's are no longer working? when did you install them | 02:09 |
| ki7rw | they made that ekiga too difficult to set up - skype doesn't have to worry about competition | 02:09 |
| === Shaun__ is now known as Shaun | ||
| escott | harrrismrubin, looks like at least one of those ppa's is oneiric but not precise. when you upgrade versions 11.10->12.04 you need to disable your ppas | 02:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ki7rw: skype can make webcams seem to be faulty when they are in fact fine | 02:10 |
| wylde_ | harrrismrubin: you'll need to disable those ppa's. Dead links. | 02:11 |
| escott | ki7rw, ekiga and skype are very different. ekiga supports a lot of different ip telephony tools, skype supports only its own system | 02:11 |
| === john__ is now known as ki4ro | ||
| sacarlson | harrrismrubin: I see that your ppa doesn't have a build for precise, it supports up to natty | 02:12 |
| ki7rw | ActionParsnip: if you can't easily use their software then it's worthless to me - i did everything i could to make ekiga work but it won't register me - not to mention the hoops they make you jump through | 02:12 |
| harrrismrubin | how do i disable them what features will it get rid of | 02:12 |
| FriendlySoviet | ONLY IRC | 02:13 |
| FriendlySoviet | mt | 02:13 |
| wylde_ | o.O | 02:13 |
| ki7rw | and they didn't seem interested in helping me and it appears that they don't intend to give me a refund | 02:13 |
| FriendlySoviet | Don't worry | 02:13 |
| DeckardCain | #winehq says: "then go install 32 bit alsa plugins" "if you need help with that part i'm afraid i'll have to send you back to #ubuntu" | 02:13 |
| escott | DeckardCain, if you know the package name then its just going to be sudo apt-get install package:i386 | 02:14 |
| freespirit-girl | ActionParsnip: I feel silly asking but.. how do i get to the control panel. I am actually trying to help my cousin install using Ubuntu.. | 02:14 |
| roasted | Question - is there a way to get the "displays" menu in system settings to display in the system tray with the clock, etc? I'm trying to find some sort of display manager that stays "docked" in the upper right corner for easy switching. | 02:14 |

| devkorcvince | kazam -> roasted | 02:15 |

| roasted | sacarlson, I've used that too, but does it record audio? | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | freespirit-girl: press CTRL+ALT+T and you can run the commands there | 02:17 |
| roasted | sacarlson, last I used it (quite a while ago, 1-2 yearS) it didn't | 02:17 |
| sacarlson | roasted: yes it was recording voice when I used it | 02:17 |

| dariushall21 | Hey guys, can someone explain to me how to boot from a disc with the GRUB menu installed? I've tried removing my HDD from the boot list and it still boots to the GRUB menu. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 as a secondary and I'm trying to upgrade my windows to windows 7 and I can't get it to boot to the install disc. | 02:20 |
| wilee-nilee | harrrismrubin, go to the ubuntu software center-edit-software soyrces 2nd tab I think and un tick or remove | 02:20 |
| escott | dariushall21, go into your bios and change the boot order | 02:20 |
| agc93 | dariushall21 the grub menu might be installed on a different disk, so change your boot order | 02:20 |
| dariushall21 | escott, I have I have set my Disk drive, and removed my HDD allogether. There's only one HDD in my machine. | 02:21 |
| agc93 | whats on the drive left in your machine? | 02:21 |
| agc93 | i.e. any OSes installed on it? | 02:21 |
| wilee-nilee | dariushall21, use the per session boot menu if changing the bios does not work. | 02:21 |
| dariushall21 | agc93, It has Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows XP. | 02:22 |
| agc93 | Right, and you put the Windows install disc in and it still shows Grub? | 02:22 |
| dariushall21 | wilee-nilee, I've tried, that also doesn't work. | 02:22 |
| === Frood|Game is now known as Frood | ||
| escott | dariushall21, the drives in your computer are a red herring. the only thing that matters is the bios boot order. you want the cd to be the first boot device (its often not set that way because probing for a cd takes a while and manufacturers want a fast boot) | 02:22 |
| wilee-nilee | dariushall21, you found the menu then? sounds like a bad disc. | 02:22 |
| dariushall21 | agc93, Correct. Even with turning off my HDD from the boot order altogether. | 02:23 |
| agc93 | seems like a bad disc, then | 02:23 |
| harrrismrubin | why are all of my software sources unchecked | 02:23 |
| dariushall21 | escott, it is set as my only boot option, HDD is off. | 02:23 |
| escott | dariushall21, then its a bad disk | 02:23 |
| harrrismrubin | what should be checked | 02:23 |
| dariushall21 | escott, It | 02:23 |
| agc93 | depends what you're looking for harrismrubin | 02:23 |

| Overlord | is there any official Facebook group of ubuntu? | 02:24 |
| dariushall21 | escott, oops, it's a brand new disk, I bought it yesterday, there isn't a scratch on it. | 02:24 |
| wilee-nilee | harrrismrubin, a distro upgrade turns off third party stuff | 02:24 |
| harrrismrubin | no nothing is selected | 02:24 |
| escott | dariushall21, did you burn it correctly? | 02:24 |
| escott | dariushall21, does it work on other systems? | 02:24 |
| dariushall21 | escott, it's an official Windows disc. And yes it has worked on my other machine fine. | 02:24 |
| Overlord | Ubuntu Facebook group?? | 02:24 |
| agc93 | then your boot options are messed up. If the HDD is turned off, then the BIOS should just come back with No Operating System, not the GRUB menu | 02:25 |
| escott | dariushall21, how is the cd drive connected to the system? | 02:25 |
| agc93 | and Overlord, I'm not sure of any. Why? | 02:25 |
| wilee-nilee | Overlord, if there is google would find it | 02:25 |
| escott | agc93, a lot of modern bioses are smarter than that. they wont actually do that | 02:25 |
| dariushall21 | escott, the disk drives cables hooked into the motherboard. | 02:25 |
| agc93 | ah right. Min's pretty old :/ | 02:25 |

| ^Lem^ | hi all, has anyone experienced a long pause when trying to drag a moderate (~10) selection of bookmarks in the Firefox bookmarks window under unity 3d/Ubuntu 12.04? | 02:26 |
| dariushall21 | My computer was made in may 20 2004, I can see its manufacture date, it's not a new computer, but it's always worked fine. | 02:26 |
| escott | dariushall21, shrug. you bios is not recognizing the cd as bootable either because the cd is bad, or because there is something about the way the cd drive is connected | 02:26 |
| dariushall21 | escott, could it just be the drive? It don't know. It's an old computer. | 02:27 |
| escott | ^Lem^, what filesystem are you using? | 02:27 |
| dariushall21 | I don't * | 02:27 |
| agc93 | have you ever booted from another CD on that system dariu? | 02:27 |
| agc93 | like the Ubuntu Live CD or similar? | 02:27 |
| ^Lem^ | escott: ext4 for both / and /home | 02:27 |
| ggz | bye | 02:27 |
| dariushall21 | It was booted from a CD when I installed linux on it. | 02:27 |
| === FroodWP is now known as Frood | ||
| agc93 | That's weird. Bad disc seems likely again | 02:28 |
| dariushall21 | That sucks. $190 down the drain. I litterally bought it yesterday. | 02:28 |
| agc93 | take it back. See if you can get another one | 02:28 |
| agc93 | Try the same disc on another pc also | 02:28 |
| dariushall21 | Why does it work in other machines though? | 02:29 |
| sacarlson | dariushall21: I have 3 old cd drivers 2 don't work anymore one works about 30% of the time, seems the laser burns out? | 02:29 |
| dariushall21 | It works fine on my laptop, and my other desktop without a problem. | 02:29 |
| escott | dariushall21, and try the session boot manager just in case the bios ignores its own config (one has to do that with usb devices) | 02:29 |
| escott | ^Lem^, you could try running firefox under eatmydata and see if it goes away | 02:29 |
| dariushall21 | escott, so set it to boot from only disk drive, and then manually set it to boot from the "IDE CD Drive" as it says in the boot manager? | 02:30 |
| agc93 | Well, im out of ideas dariu | 02:30 |
| ^Lem^ | escott: i'm pretty sure it's related to unity. my whole display freezes about 1 second after picking up the bookmarks (i.e. floating graphic is created), even the clock indicator stops, then about 4-5 seconds later, the whole display updates again, and the unity panel greys out some icons. must be trying to process the drag/drop event? | 02:30 |
| escott | ^Lem^, that would indicate that its an fsync issue | 02:30 |
| ^Lem^ | escott: eatmydata, ok i'll try that | 02:30 |
| wilee-nilee | dariushall21, is this a windows release upgrade like windows pro to ultimate? | 02:30 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as myhero | ||
| agc93 | also, does anyone here use mirage viewer? | 02:30 |
| dariushall21 | wilee-nilee, No, it's a regular OS Windows 7 Ultimate. | 02:31 |
| myhero | way to check yesterdays irssi chat log ? | 02:31 |
| escott | !log | myhero | 02:31 |
| ubottu | myhero: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | 02:31 |

| myhero | escott: yes | 02:31 |
| myhero | !log | 02:31 |
| wilee-nilee | dariushall21, use the windows usb loader it will read a disc I believe and load a thumb, or rip it and use a thumb with the same tool. | 02:31 |
| s00p3rg33n00s | Eh. | 02:32 |
| s00p3rg33n00s | I guess the real-- nah. | 02:32 |
| agc93 | good idea. Wilee. The USB DVD Download tool hasn't failed me yet | 02:32 |
| s00p3rg33n00s | bai. | 02:32 |
| myhero | escott: ????? | 02:33 |
| KRomo | hey guys | 02:33 |
| wilee-nilee | agc93, you can do it inubuntu as well with a extraction to a thumb of the iso a ntfs and a bootflag. | 02:33 |
| dariushall21 | The problem with that is I don't have any USB Thumbs big enough for it. Or I just would have downloaded Windows and used my serial numbers. | 02:33 |
| escott | myhero, what? | 02:33 |
| myhero | escott: that was command u specified or ??? | 02:33 |
| dariushall21 | Unless there's a way to install it directly from the Windows or Ubuntu enviroment I'm out of luck. | 02:33 |
| escott | myhero, listed to ubottu | 02:33 |
| ^Lem^ | escott: no change with "eatmydata firefox" from a command line. the timeout before my display updates seems exactly 5 seconds. the delay before it freezes is about 1/2 second | 02:33 |

| myhero | thnx | escott | 02:34 |
| myhero | !thnx | escott | 02:34 |
| wilee-nilee | dariushall21, you only need about 3 gigs a thumb big enough is less than 10$ | 02:34 |
| KRomo | whats the benefit of ubuntu one over drop box? | 02:34 |

| Relondo | When I shut down my dual-boot Win 7/Ubuntu from Ubuntu, it immediately reboots. Help? | 02:35 |
| ActionParsnip | dariushall21: could use the minimal ISO, it's 20Mb | 02:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Relondo: if you run: sudo shutdown -h now does it turn off? | 02:36 |
| KRomo | haha | 02:36 |
| dariushall21 | actionparsnip, Windows 7 Ultimate is 6.8 GB | 02:36 |
| Relondo | actionparsnip: I'll try that. Won't be back to tell you if it worked, so thanks in advance. | 02:36 |
| sacarlson | dariushall21: I boot windows iso from virtualbox running in ubuntu not sure that will do for you | 02:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Relondo: which release too? Does the system have a make and model? | 02:36 |
| dariushall21 | scarlson, a VM would murder this computer. | 02:37 |
| Relondo | actionparsnip: Runnning 12.04 Precise. And yeah, but I really don't have time to figure it out. I'll be back. 'Night. | 02:37 |
| ActionParsnip | dariushall21: ok you could use virtualbox | 02:37 |

| ActionParsnip | harrrismrubin: can you give a PASTEBIN of the output of: grep -R google /etc/apt/* | 02:39 |
| xangua | harrrismrubin: it's mean it's duplicated, open software center, edit. preferences | 02:39 |

| kallisti | so I need to burn a CD while in an Ubuntu liveCD distro | 02:44 |
| kallisti | is there a way to do that? I have several gigs of swap I could dedicate for the entire disk. | 02:44 |
| codeshepherd | trism: this is a different bug - | 02:44 |
| CrazyGangster | trism: i dont know whats wrong but when i run the command i got lot of msg like this "we should clip at -196, -101" | 02:44 |
| harrrismrubin | do i give the url | 02:44 |
| jonathon | Anyone know of a Hex Editor that displays Japanese Characters? | 02:44 |
| ActionParsnip | harrrismrubin: yes, copy the URL and paste here | 02:45 |
| escott | jonathon, gvim's hex mode should | 02:45 |
| harrrismrubin | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1038305/ | 02:45 |
| trism | codeshepherd: which bug? | 02:45 |
| codeshepherd | is it possible for me to get 5.3.13 from any other php repository? trism sacarlson | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | kallisti: or you could partion the hd and make a 1gb partition and setup grub2 on it to boot an iso file | 02:45 |
| sacarlson | codeshepherd: I'm looking at php 5.4 in ppa | 02:45 |
| harrrismrubin | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1038305/ | 02:45 |
| kallisti | Dr_Willis: hm, too much trouble at that point. | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | thats how i do very very speedy installs. ;) | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | harrrismrubin: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list.save; sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.save | 02:46 |
| jonathon | Thanks, escott | 02:46 |
| harrrismrubin | all in one code ActionParsnip | 02:46 |
| escott | codeshepherd, if your reason for wanting to upgrade is a CVE notice i wouldn't install a ppa. you are more likely to get slower updates in the future | 02:46 |
| kallisti | Dr_Willis: is there no way to relocate the liveCD to hard disk or just load the whole thing into RAM? | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | kallisti: used to be a toram option. but ive not tried that in ages | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | harrrismrubin: then run all this (without the top line): http://paste.ubuntu.com/1038306/ | 02:47 |
| escott | kallisti, whats wrong with just letting the livecd use your existing swap. it might be slow but it should work | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | iso/grub2 would relocate /boot it from hard disk. freeing up the cd. | 02:47 |
| trism | CrazyGangster: is it still working? if so you can probably safely ignore the warnings (I haven't used the tool, and I don't see any bugs with the message) | 02:47 |
| sacarlson | codeshepherd: see https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/php5 it's 5.4.X and supports from lucid up to precies | 02:48 |
| kallisti | escott: nothing is wrong with that. that's what I'm trying to do. | 02:48 |
| codeshepherd | the bug is https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61045 trism | 02:48 |
| kallisti | I need the whole liveCD in ram (which includes my swap) so that I can change the CD out. | 02:48 |
| escott | kallisti, oh. that wont work | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | might be worth googling for '12.04 toram' | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | seen quite a few distros have a toram option. | 02:49 |
| kassiocarlos | alguém de João Pessoa PB | 02:49 |
| kallisti | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM this says: Unnecessary on 11.04 LiveCD. Casper now includes a functioning toram option, which even works with the iso-scan/filename= option. | 02:50 |
| kallisti | but othewise doesn't specify how to do that. | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | edit the boot line like you would for nomodeset, only add 'toram' instead of nomodeset | 02:50 |
| harrrismrubin | now what ActionParsnip | 02:50 |
| jonathon | escott, Not showing on there either, which font should I use? | 02:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: does that work in ubuntu? | 02:51 |
| ActionParsnip | harrrismrubin: if you run: sudo apt-get update | 02:51 |
| kassiocarlos | oi | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | there may be a toram option in the f5/f6 options | 02:51 |
| trism | codeshepherd: there is a bug about it on launchpad: bug 999969 so that one probably isn't fixed unfortunately | 02:51 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 999969 in php5 (Ubuntu) "PHP5 doesn't send errors or warnings to fastcgi clients" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/999969 | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip: not tried it in ages. no idea | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | !nomodeset | 02:51 |
| ubottu | 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 | 02:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: I know it works in puppy :) | 02:52 |
| escott | jonathon, sorry i dont know then. gvim supports unicode so as long as your font has the correct unicode characters it should work | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | works in tinycorelinux also | 02:52 |
| ActionParsnip | harrrismrubin: is it smooth now? | 02:52 |
| harrrismrubin | it is running | 02:52 |
| harrrismrubin | if i remove a app will the source that is for it be removed | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | 'source' meaning? | 02:53 |
| codeshepherd | thanks trism | 02:53 |
| harrrismrubin | no same thing | 02:54 |
| strictland | hello everyone, I get this error when my system boots up... Error: out of disk. grub rescue> | 02:54 |
| harrrismrubin | still has the duplicate | 02:54 |
| kallisti | Dr_Willis: well it seems to be working so far without the liveCD in, but it is taking a long time at "creating image checksum" when I attempt to burn this CD so maybe it's waiting for a binary to load | 02:54 |
| strictland | i simply ctrl+alt+del and it boot up fine... but how can I avoid that whole error message | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | md5summing a 700mb file may take some time. | 02:55 |
| natervader13 | strictland: just clear up some space on your hdd, otherwise go to the interwebs for answers | 02:55 |
| escott | strictland, you mean it boots find warm, but not cold? | 02:56 |
| Dr_Willis | grub failing due to a full hrd drive? cantg say ive ever seen that' | 02:56 |
| wilee-nilee | strictland, there is a out of disc option in the advanced part of this tool. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 02:56 |
| escott | natervader13, thats not what out of disk means | 02:56 |
| strictland | wilee-nilee, I'll look into it | 02:57 |
| harrrismrubin | ActionParsnip, all smooth | 02:57 |
| strictland | for the record, my hdd still has plenty of room, like 25gb free | 02:58 |
| wilee-nilee | strictland, if you continue to have problems start a thread on the ubuntu forums with the out of disc in the header. | 02:59 |
| escott | strictland, it has nothing to do with the disk usage | 02:59 |
| escott | strictland, it means roughly "i asked the bios to read some part of the disk, and the bios gave me an error, i guess im 'out of disk'" | 02:59 |
| escott | strictland, so it could be a bios bug, or it could be an issue with your partition tables | 03:00 |
| wilee-nilee | strictland, it is the limitations on how for on to the disc can be read 136 gigs or so I believe | 03:00 |
| escott | strictland, you might try creating a small boot partition at the front of the disk and using that | 03:00 |
| wilee-nilee | strictland, escott is correct here, +1 | 03:00 |
| agc93 | anyone got any ideas if a program is giving python invalid literal errors on starting? Never happened before. | 03:01 |

| notsmelly | hey all | 03:03 |
| qwebirc792331 | can anyone help me out | 03:04 |
| ActionParsnip | harrrismrubin: sweet, good to go :) | 03:04 |
| qwebirc792331 | i just built a new computer, and for some reason when i try to boot ubuntu from a usb | 03:04 |
| qwebirc792331 | it goes to the screen whre i have to press a key on the keyboard | 03:04 |
| ActionParsnip | qwebirc792331: what GPU do you use? | 03:04 |
| qwebirc792331 | then i do that and select install ubuntu, then it goes to a black screen with flashing cursor | 03:04 |
| qwebirc792331 | gtx550ti | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | qwebirc792331: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 | 03:05 |
| qwebirc792331 | and how do i do this? | 03:05 |
| Dr_Willis | wonder how that differs from nomodeset | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | qwebirc792331: and ease up on the ENTER key, posting a long long long question like this I am doing now is better than lots of lines | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoption | qwebirc792331 | 03:05 |
| ubottu | qwebirc792331: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. | 03:05 |
| qwebirc792331 | okay thanks | 03:05 |
| Frood | qwebirc792331: this is unrelated to your question, but what do you think about the 550 ti? | 03:06 |
| escott | Dr_Willis, thats blacklisting the nouveau module in its entirety. not just saying "kernel don't do modesetting" | 03:06 |
| qwebirc792331 | idk, haven't used it yet ahaha | 03:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: the display timings were moved into the kernel, I believe nomodeset defaults it to the old regime | 03:06 |
| Frood | ah, okay | 03:06 |
| Dr_Willis | on my nvidia machines where i used to have to use nomodeset. ;) ive noticed i dont need it any more | 03:06 |
| escott | Dr_Willis, you can still have nouveau with nomodeset in which case X does its own probing and modesetting | 03:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 explains it nicely | 03:07 |
| qwebirc792331 | so right now, i'm redownloading the iso file, of 12.04. is there any way I can change the boot options on this computer? | 03:07 |
| Dr_Willis | be nice if ghey had some of thse common options we seem to suggst in here daily.. on the grub/boot menus easier to get to | 03:07 |
| ActionParsnip | qwebirc792331: read the link ubottu gave, that's why I made her give it.... | 03:07 |
| fission6 | do these insturctions look well "advised" http://utkarshsengar.com/2011/01/manage-multiple-accounts-on-1-amazon-ec2-instance/ | 03:07 |
| Dr_Willis | qwebirc792331: why redownloading it? You just boot thecd. and append the right options to the boot line. like the guides show | 03:08 |
| sacarlson | qwebirc792331: redownloading the iso? why did the md5sum mismatch? | 03:09 |
| qwebirc792331 | no i just thought maybe I did something wrong so I'm trying it from windows now | 03:09 |
| Dr_Willis | trying 'what' from windows now? | 03:10 |
| strictland | my hdd is 80gb, 15gb alloted for swap, and 60 gb for my boot partition, about 32gb used and roughly 27gb unused... | 03:10 |
| ActionParsnip | qwebirc792331: some nvidia GPUs don't like the nouveau driver, by blacklisting it you will use the nv driver which will more than likely work | 03:10 |
| ActionParsnip | strictland: how much RAM do you have? | 03:10 |
| Dr_Willis | strictland: you mean 60gb for 'root partition' not /boot ? | 03:10 |
| strictland | 16gb | 03:10 |
| strictland | 16gb ram | 03:10 |
| ActionParsnip | strictland: you only need 16Gb then, if you don't need hibernate you probably won't need swap at all | 03:11 |
| qwebirc792331 | thanks action parsnip, i'm gonna do some searching im not even sure what nouveau driver means.... | 03:11 |
| ActionParsnip | strictland: /boot will need to be 100Mb at most | 03:11 |
| poter | hola | 03:11 |
| ActionParsnip | strictland: if you mean the root partition to hold the OS then 10Gb is probably enough | 03:11 |
| polygons | hey guys, when i go to open my home directory, i get this: Failed to open directory "brad". Error stating file '/home/brad/.gvfs': Transport endpoint is not connected. i think this happened after my laptop crashed and i had to cold-restart. thanks! | 03:11 |
| escott | strictland, with that broken bios keep you /boot under 100MB and put it at the very front of the disk | 03:12 |
| ActionParsnip | strictland: you can assign the rest for /home to store your user data | 03:12 |
| ActionParsnip | escott: old school | 03:12 |
| strictland | i feel like a noob now, but be patient with me... in gparted, it shows mount point "/" with a size of 59.60gb, used 32gb and unused 27gb, under the flags category, it says "boot".... | 03:13 |
| agc93 | a boot partition would be a separate one with mount point /boot | 03:15 |
| escott | strictland, flags shouldnt matter, but with your broken bios they might | 03:15 |
| agc93 | the boot flag just says that the partition can be booted from | 03:15 |
| qwebirc792331 | !bootoption | 03:16 |
| ubottu | For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | strictland: yes, it uses that partition to boot with. | 03:16 |
| strictland | so its seems i shouldnt have trouble with my available space correct? why the error message? | 03:17 |
| qwebirc792331 | actionparsnip: I'm still not clear on how I do this, do I create the live disk (USB), then go into it from ubuntu that I have installed on this computer and edit the boot options? | 03:17 |
| escott | strictland, its a bug in your bios. just make 100MB of space at the front of the disk. create a /boot partition there, mark it bootable and you should be ok | 03:17 |
| ActionParsnip | qwebirc792331: read the page, its why it exists | 03:18 |
| strictland | i okay, i can do this within gparted, or do i have to boot from live cd and do this | 03:18 |
| harrrismrubin | gtg bye | 03:18 |
| harrrismrubin | thnx for all of your help | 03:18 |
| escott | strictland, livecd | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | qwebirc792331: i thinkthe nomodeset wiki page shows scrfeen shots of almost the same procedure, only with a differnt option | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | !nomodeset | 03:18 |
| ubottu | 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 | 03:18 |
| qwebirc792331 | No I understand, but when I loaded it before, it wouldn't let me use any F key other than F1 | 03:19 |
| wilee-nilee | Dr_Willis, there is failsafe boot in the recovery of grub as well. | 03:19 |
| Dr_Willis | boot cd..tap the space key like crazy wwhen a little man=keybord option imagee appears | 03:19 |
| VirtualBlackness | Dr_Willis: space or shift? | 03:19 |
| Dr_Willis | for the cd its space i belive.. | 03:19 |
| wilee-nilee | shift | 03:19 |
| Dr_Willis | for a grub/insgtall its shift | 03:19 |
| VirtualBlackness | Dr_Willis: I know it WAS escape... it is possible all three work at this point. | 03:20 |
| wilee-nilee | shift for the cd as well | 03:20 |
| Dr_Willis | actually on the instal cd it maybe any case.. | 03:20 |
| strictland | okay escott, thanks for the help.... and just so i don't miss anything.... should i do the boot-repair thing wilee nilee mentioned earlier before the /boot? or just the /boot thing? | 03:20 |

| KRomo | can anyone suggest a domain hosting company that is like super cheap? lol | 03:50 |
| KRomo | noip is $15 year | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Exploiter: in the sound app in Unity, you can change the sound theme there | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | KRomo: 15 a year is nothing | 03:51 |
| KRomo | just for the domain | 03:51 |
| KRomo | no web hosting | 03:51 |
| Exploiter | ActionParsnip: I m in gnome classic and i dont no that app | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Exploiter: there is still the sound app in the menus some place | 03:51 |
| JW1 | For instance, I open up my home folder, and I have a file with an extension of .log, and I right-click on the file and I get "Open With" and several options, but none of those options work for me | 03:52 |
| JW1 | I choose "Open With Other Application" but the application that I want to use doesn't appear there either | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | JW1: file extensions in Linux don't mean much | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | JW1: what app do you want to use? | 03:53 |

| ActionParsnip | Exploiter: search through for sound, you'll find it, possibly in system | 03:54 |
| Exploiter | i quit | 03:55 |
| JW1 | ActionParsnip, the program is wxmacmolplt, it does not come with the standard Ubuntu distribution nor is it on the Ubuntu servers | 03:55 |

| duhamel | i have just installed fresh ubuntu studio 12.04 alongside windows 7 on 128gb ssd, i designated my old home parttion on a seperate 2tb hdd as the fresh installs home partition. in terminal it goes straight into old home when i type cd /home/ but on desktop home icon is empty how do i get the old /home into that icon? | 04:06 |
| duhamel | sorry that was long winded. | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | duhamel: on the desktop is it just a symlink? | 04:07 |
| duhamel | whewn i look in gpart i don't see a second home partition anywhere. | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | duhamel: if it's on a seperate drive, you will need to switch gparted to manipulate the other drive | 04:08 |
| duhamel | ActionParsnip: im not sure, how woul;d i know? im a noob. | 04:08 |
| duhamel | Im a noob. | 04:08 |
| pikkachu | ActionParsnip: the idea is having templates just for the file names? (because touch create empty files) | 04:08 |
| pikkachu | ActionParsnip: I feel like no | 04:08 |

| hptwhite | i have a canon pixma mp560 printer and running ubuntu 11 (i think). my printer is on wifi wpa2 and my computer is also connected wirelessly on the same network. is there a good tuorial out there i can go to, to get this figured out? i tried google, but not getting very far | 04:09 |
| JW1 | glitsj16, yes however the file in question is on a remote machine, so I'd like to be able to connect to the remote machine via the Desktop Browser and right-click to open the file in wxmacmolplt (like I can in Windows) | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | pikkachu: yes but the file names etc will make the blank docs, you can have anything you want in there | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | duhamel: if you run: ls ~/Desktop do you see the file you use to access the home? | 04:09 |
| pikkachu | ActionParsnip: but complex types won't work I think, for example ODT files | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | hptwhite: did you try the canon site? They make debs for driver for their products some times | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip | pikkachu: sure it will, try it | 04:10 |
| duhamel | no. i see nothing. it's empty. | 04:10 |
| JW1 | Sorry, that should be the file browser, not the desktop browser | 04:10 |
| glitsj16 | JW1: fair enough .. what about adding the mime-type 'application/x-log' to the .desktop file for wxmacmolplt? | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | duhamel: ok, if you run: ln -s $HOME ~/Desktop/HOME you should see a handy link :) | 04:11 |
| hptwhite | ActionParsnip: getting the driver loaded isnt the issue; its getting it connected wirelessly that is. i dont know which wireless option to choose from the printer setup and even if i did, i wouldnt know how to put in the address | 04:11 |

| ActionParsnip | hptwhite: I'd check your manual then | 04:12 |
| ActionParsnip | JW1: same way you added the TextEditor option I gave.. | 04:12 |
| duhamel | could it be because i gave my last ubuntu install a different name? | 04:12 |
| JW1 | ActionParsnip, but I don't see a mime type variable in the .desktop value, what is the precise syntax? | 04:12 |
| Exploiter | ActionParsnip, Can you tell me the exact one, because system tool > system setting does not allow me to change theme, just the aler sound and new theme is not there | 04:12 |
| ActionParsnip | JW1: look at some of the others, you will see the category. With you stating this sort of thing I'm doubting you did what I sugegsted earlier at all... | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | duhamel: the system name is irrelevant, you may need to chown the old data to the new user | 04:14 |
| JW1 | ActionParsnip, no I did, because I just had to append it to the end of an existing variable, but there is no mime type variable in the .desktop file | 04:14 |
| duhamel | how do i do that, i just realized i can see the old name and new home name can i merge them? | 04:15 |
| pikkachu | ActionParsnip: it is an empty file, not an ODT or whatever, you'll need to rely on how the underlying apps would handle an empty file | 04:15 |
| pikkachu | ActionParsnip: LibreOffice's Calc for example shows a filter dialog for an empty file | 04:15 |
| glitsj16 | JW1: add a new line containing 'MimeType=application/x-log' to it | 04:15 |
| pikkachu | ActionParsnip: we just have to use the proper app to create the model | 04:15 |
| hellyeah | hey | 04:16 |
| ActionParsnip | JW1: look for: MimeType= in the .desktop file and add what glitsj16 suggested | 04:16 |
| hellyeah | i always took an error like error: spars file not allowed what does that mean | 04:16 |
| ActionParsnip | pikkachu: I guess, but now you know what the folder is for :) | 04:16 |
| glitsj16 | JW1: and come to think of it .. there should always be the option to use a custom command to open your .log file with | 04:16 |
| pikkachu | ActionParsnip: yeah, thanks! | 04:16 |
| ActionParsnip | hellyeah: what triggers the error? | 04:17 |
| hellyeah | what do you mean? this occured after selecting ubuntu from grub | 04:17 |
| JW1 | glitsj16, that is what I would think too, but I cannot find it | 04:17 |
| hellyeah | i saw this error like 30 secs then it went on with normal boot | 04:18 |
| ActionParsnip | JW1: use the search function in the text editor you are using, or just add the line in full | 04:18 |
| hellyeah | may be it was meaningless i dont know but i took same error 10.04 10.10 and current version | 04:18 |
| JW1 | ActionParsnip and glitsj16 unfortunately the MimeType trick didn't work either | 04:18 |
| glitsj16 | JW1: first choose the 'Open with other application' menu, it is there | 04:18 |

| federated_life | I used auslogics to defrag...but it doesnt solve the issue.. | 04:30 |
| ActionParsnip | federated_life: are you using windows 7? | 04:30 |
| federated_life | yes | 04:30 |
| ActionParsnip | federated_life: Windows7 can shrink its own partitions | 04:30 |
| federated_life | yea, from computer manager in adminstrattive tasks | 04:31 |
| Dr_Willis | federated_life: but shrinkingone - wont do much good if you have 4 primary partitions in use | 04:31 |
| federated_life | but it doesn't allow to shirnk more than like 7GB | 04:31 |
| JW1 | Okay, thanks all for your help. Good night. | 04:31 |

| WindBuntu | something new and strange just occured in my ubuntu 12.04, i looked at the top of my screen next to the little email icon and there was red triangle with a red exclamation point inside of it. it warned me that something sint working with updates and to do it manually. i did that and sure enough there were 3 updates, so i installed them? is this a bug? | 04:43 |
| WindBuntu | isn't* | 04:43 |
| rollitup | WindBuntu: I am experiencing the same thing and am waiting to hear for someone to help us resolve this | 04:44 |
| WindBuntu | it had a bit of a malware feel to it | 04:44 |
| WindBuntu | but it prolly isnt | 04:44 |
| WindBuntu | i have never seen that signal in any ubuntu OS dating back to 8.04 | 04:45 |
| WindBuntu | or in any other buntu | 04:45 |
| rollitup | i guess this maybe caused by some sources not being able to update coz the output i get when doing update also includes this Err http://ppa.launchpad.net precise/main Sources 404 Not Found Err http://ppa.launchpad.net precise/main i386 Packages 404 Not Found Err http://ppa.launchpad.net precise/main Sources 404 Not Found Err http://ppa.launchp | 04:45 |
| agc93 | If the update process is interrupted, it can lead to packages needing be manually updated | 04:46 |
| agc93 | or needing dpkg to reconfigure them | 04:46 |
| WindBuntu | looks like we have to manually update ubuntu now to be safe | 04:46 |
| agc93 | I don't think I'd go that far | 04:46 |
| rollitup | i do the updates from the terminal | 04:46 |
| JoseeAntonioR | rollitup: That is because the PPA doesn't exist, it was removed or you typed the addess incorrectly | 04:46 |
| WindBuntu | i dont trust termianl for updates anymore | 04:47 |
| agc93 | update-manager is definitely not malware | 04:47 |
| WindBuntu | ive seen it freeze | 04:47 |
| WindBuntu | or hang | 04:47 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: the PPA just won't be used, shouldn't cause issues | 04:47 |
| agc93 | and why would you not trust terminal? | 04:47 |
| agc93 | It's the safest way to do upgrades | 04:47 |
| rollitup | so do u think I should remove it from the PPA list | 04:47 |
| agc93 | Probably a good idea rollitup | 04:47 |
| WindBuntu | ill never upgrade ubuntu in terminal again thats for sure | 04:47 |
| WindBuntu | ill just do clean installs | 04:47 |
| agc93 | Terminal is definitely way more reliable than GUI | 04:47 |
| JoseeAntonioR | rollitup: If you want to, but the error won't cause malfunctions in the system | 04:47 |
| rollitup | ok | 04:48 |
| agc93 | thats how I've done every upgrade since 9.10 | 04:48 |
| WindBuntu | ive seen it hang and then just sit there for hours | 04:48 |
| WindBuntu | very very frustrating | 04:48 |
| agc93 | the normal GNOME Terminal? | 04:48 |
| artie | Hi All, I hae a single user on my system that opens in a command line rather than the traditional gui/desktop. All the other users open into the gui normally. How do I change the settings so that all users open in gui mode? | 04:48 |
| Raji | Hai | 04:48 |
| WindBuntu | you will feel that way until it burns you a good one | 04:49 |
| JoseeAntonioR | artie: Have you checked you | 04:49 |
| agc93 | Seems unlikely, as that would be indicative of the whole system hanging if the terminal session hangs | 04:49 |
| rollitup | also i haven't got most games that i downloaded to run, they always keep on hanging | 04:49 |
| agc93 | artie: have you checked their session files? | 04:49 |
| rollitup | although i have 3 gigs of ram and an onboard Nvidia graphic card | 04:49 |
| JoseeAntonioR | artie: Have you checked you're using the Ubuntu theme when logging in? | 04:49 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: which games? | 04:50 |
| Raji | I am trying to install lamp server using tasksel but its showing a dialog box and then it stops. I just 2 days old in ubuntu | 04:51 |
| artie | osee: I have not checked session files, not even sure what they are. Not sure how to check what theme....but user knows lss than me, it's highly unlikely they did exotic changes. | 04:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Raji: is the ubuntu install fully updated? | 04:52 |
| rollitup | 0.AD and some others , i am able to install and run small games such as Gejeweled etc | 04:53 |
| Raji | ActionParsnip: Yes | 04:53 |
| Raji | 12.04 | 04:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Raji: the release is irrelevant, if you run: sudo apt-get update; sydi apt-get upgrade are you fuly updated | 04:54 |
| WindBuntu | but anyway i was talking about updates not upgrades | 04:54 |
| Raji | ActionParsnip: Yes i updated yesterday | 04:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Raji: ok, run the taskel command and pastebin the output please | 04:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Raji: tab key. space key. and enter key to selwct stuff in the dialog? | 04:54 |
| rollitup | ActionParsnip: Most of the games start but they keep stuck up on the initial page and aso the mouse gets very very slow | 04:55 |
| rollitup | almost frozen | 04:55 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: have you tried Unity2D? | 04:55 |
| Raji | 04:55 | |
| rollitup | i think i am using Unity 2D , how can i confirm this ? | 04:56 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: run: ps -ef | grep compiz | grep -v compiz | 04:57 |
| hellyeah | brw | 04:57 |
| celthunder | well does 3d work? | 04:57 |
| hellyeah | ubuntu is little slow | 04:57 |
| federated_life | I trashed compiz, its bloated | 04:57 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: if you see compiz in the output you are using 3D | 04:57 |
| ActionParsnip | celthunder: in what sense? | 04:57 |
| Raji | Dr_Willis: i juts typed in terminal Sudo tasksel then a dialog box came and i selected lamp server then clicked enter and then i was back into terminal | 04:58 |
| SDX | hellyeah: You might want to try Xubuntu if Ubuntu is slow. | 04:58 |
| federated_life | Im on xfce, its crap too | 04:58 |
| rollitup | ActionParsnip: does not give any output when i run that line | 04:58 |
| federated_life | just buy better hardware and os x | 04:59 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: then you are using 2D :) | 04:59 |
| rollitup | :) | 04:59 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: do you have 3D accelleration configured on your video hardware? | 04:59 |
| jazzyy | My install has a set size for /home/, is there any way to make it larger? | 04:59 |
| rollitup | no I haven't done that | 04:59 |
| Raji | Dr_Willis: Now its showing tasksel:aptitude failed(100 | 04:59 |
| rollitup | the only thing after installing Ubuntu was installed the proprietary drivers which was prompted to me | 05:00 |
| Raji | ) | 05:00 |
| rollitup | and added the one's that came as Recommended | 05:00 |
| SDX | jazzyy, if you boot from a LiveCD you should be able to resize most, if not all of your partitions. | 05:01 |
| SDX | You don't have to reinstall from the LiveCD, just use the partition editor and then reboot. | 05:01 |
| rodhash | guys... need little help... wpa_supplicant is being initialised by init but I just installed it and didn't configure init.... under /etc/init or /etc/inet.d/ I found thong related to wpa | 05:01 |
| jazzyy | SDX: and that can resize specifically /home/? My partition is huge but the /home/ folder is limited to 30GB | 05:01 |
| SDX | jazzyy: Yes. | 05:02 |
| jazzyy | alright thanks! | 05:02 |
| Raji | ActionParsnip: tasksel:aptitude failed(100) | 05:02 |
| SDX | You're welcome. | 05:03 |
| cappicard | good evening. what's a good way to convert a compressed swf file to mp4 or avi? | 05:03 |
| === Tabstar is now known as Guest88007 | ||
| cappicard | i'm using 12.04 | 05:03 |
| === Guest84559 is now known as Dorito | ||
| jagginess | cappicard, swf isnt a video format | 05:06 |
| mi3 | hello! | 05:07 |
| cappicard | well, i want to convert the flv contained inside it to avi | 05:07 |
| jagginess | cappicard, you're probably thinking of capturing the .flv stream.. there's probably tools for that.. | 05:07 |
| rollitup | ActionParsnip: I haven't configured the 3d hardware accelearation for my graphic card | 05:08 |
| docvell | there is an add-on for Firefox | 05:08 |
| jagginess | cappicard, no need to convert .flv if you just want to play it (vlc can) | 05:08 |
| cappicard | but the problem is that it's compressed | 05:08 |
| docvell | for downloading .flv or making it an .mp4 | 05:08 |
| cappicard | vlc and mplayer can't play compressed flv files | 05:08 |
| mi3 | I have a dual boot operating system consisting of windows and ubuntu, I have two ntfs partitions of windows, and 1 ext4 partition of ubuntu, I intend to replace those two partitions with ext4, and remove windows entirely. Also, I need full control over the newly created ext4 partitions, can someone suggest how can I do all that ? | 05:09 |
| jagginess | cappicard, you have a sample? i think i've been able to playback any .flv | 05:09 |
| jagginess | mi3, gparted live cd | 05:10 |
| mi3 | jagginess, I already have gparted on my ubuntu pc :D | 05:10 |
| cappicard | http://saiya-jin.dyndns-home.com/~cappicard/9-11-01/9-11-01-remembered.fla | 05:10 |
| jagginess | mi3, why not merge all3 into 1? | 05:10 |
| cappicard | http://saiya-jin.dyndns-home.com/~cappicard/9-11-01/9-11-01-remembered.swf is the flash file | 05:11 |
| jagginess | mi3, you also need swap (type 83) partition | 05:11 |
| mi3 | jagginess, I need 2 seperate partitions to preserve some data such as movies and songs, so that , in case the home partition goes berserk, I can restore my data from that | 05:11 |
| Tux_1 | and reinstall grub | 05:11 |
| mi3 | jagginess, I have swap partition | 05:11 |
| jagginess | mi3, ? | 05:11 |
| mi3 | jagginess, what ? | 05:11 |
| ActionParsnip | jagginess: could use a swap file instead :) | 05:12 |
| mi3 | Tux_1, you were suggesting something , sir ? | 05:12 |
| mi3 | HI ActionParsnip !! | 05:12 |
| mi3 | ActionParsnip, how are you , sir :D | 05:12 |
| jagginess | mi3, well it doesnt make sense only 1 partition goes berserk.. it's usually it's either a few sectors or the whole drive (I started using Raid1 a few months back..) | 05:12 |
| ActionParsnip | mi3: tired, you? | 05:12 |
| mi3 | ActionParsnip, having fun xD | 05:12 |
| ActionParsnip | mi3: awesome | 05:12 |
| Tux_1 | yea, have the install dvd ready to reinstall grub | 05:13 |
| jagginess | mi3, /home and multi partitions are made when you have thousands of users.. | 05:13 |
| docvell | I used to have a dual boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.10 and later on decided to start fresh and install Ubuntu 12.04 full | 05:13 |
| jagginess | mi3, keep it simple :) | 05:13 |
| mi3 | jagginess, but if I create the 2 partitions, will it be given the root permissions ? or will the limited account user still store data on it ? | 05:13 |
| jagginess | mi3, i thought you have only 1 ext4 partition | 05:14 |
| mi3 | jagginess, yes I do | 05:14 |
| mi3 | jagginess, I was talking about that permissions AFTER creating those partitions :D | 05:14 |
| jagginess | mi3, so backup your user data to usb.. then try to merge two blank/unallocated partition space to the ext4 | 05:14 |
| neuroexploiter | guess whos back back agian | 05:14 |
| SDX | Woo. Just finished downloading Xubuntu. | 05:15 |
| mi3 | jagginess, I dont want to merge all 3 into 1, I need 2 ext4 partitions | 05:15 |
| mi3 | SDX, YAYY | 05:15 |
| jagginess | mi3, of course have a ubuntu install cd at hand, you'll need to re-reun the grub-install command | 05:15 |
| SilentDis | SDX: what does xubuntu use as it's wm now? | 05:15 |
| mi3 | so, jagginess err my writer is damaged, I threw it against the wall in anger xD | 05:16 |
| jagginess | mi3, you cant convert ntfs to ext4.. thats why i say to backup | 05:16 |
| SDX | I assumed it used Xfce WM. | 05:16 |
| SDX | xfwm4. | 05:16 |
| SilentDis | SDX: it's been a while, so I didn't know if they'd change or anything :) | 05:16 |
| Raji | While installing lamp server i am getting an errr message "Tasksel: aptitude failed(100)" | 05:17 |

| subcool_ | seriously? | 05:21 |
| subcool_ | SOMEONE | 05:21 |
| subcool_ | Do i really have to dl this in non-3d? | 05:22 |
| subcool_ | HOW do i watch this movie!@?! | 05:22 |
| photonwave | Hi, I'm a total linux/ubuntu newbie, can someone direct me as to how I can upgrade by kernel? | 05:22 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm: | 05:22 |
| subcool_ | Dr_Willis, | 05:22 |
| subcool_ | your smart too | 05:22 |
| subcool_ | help me | 05:22 |
| Dr_Willis | photonwave: use the package manager tools they will upgrade the whole system to the latest versions in the repos | 05:22 |
| subcool_ | PLEASE! | 05:23 |
| Dr_Willis | please what? | 05:23 |
| subcool_ | i dl'ed a movie labeld 3d | 05:23 |
| subcool_ | and - well it is showing in VLC in double vision, side by side | 05:23 |
| subcool_ | how do i disable | 05:23 |
| subcool_ | "3d" | 05:23 |
| photonwave | Dr_Willis from what I understand, the newest Ubuntu distro doesn't come with the newest kernel. If I use the package manager tools, will it upgrade to the newest kernel, or just the kernel that's included with the latest release of the Ubuntu distro? | 05:23 |
| Dr_Willis | that sounds like 3d to me.. | 05:24 |
| cappicard | but the .swf contains the video i want to convert. | 05:24 |
| Dr_Willis | photonwave: stick with whats in the repos is how it works.. unles syou have some real major need for a newer version.. its best to stay with whats int he repos | 05:24 |
| Dr_Willis | subcool_: seen where dvdfab can convert a 3d movie to 2d.. i belive.. but never used it | 05:25 |
| photonwave | Dr_Willis I have a major need to upgrade my kernel, as my machine is rebooting every time I shutdown, and a newer kernel might solve the problem | 05:25 |
| jagginess | mi3, it says that because a "mounted" filesystem is preventing the disk partitioner from working on it. So "unmount" that partition in use. | 05:25 |
| wkay | hi there; sorry to disturb..; I got a problem & Im here to find some help.. | 05:25 |
| subcool_ | Dr_Willis, :( | 05:25 |
| mi3 | jagginess, its already been unmounted :D | 05:25 |
| subcool_ | so there isnt some like disable thing i can do? | 05:25 |
| jagginess | mi3, what did i tell you like 10 minutes ago? | 05:25 |
| Dr_Willis | photonwave: or it could be some less drastic acpi/power manager fix. or the next kernel update may fix the issue | 05:25 |
| ActionParsnip | photonwave: I'd test RAM first | 05:25 |
| subcool_ | ActionParsnip, your smart too- please help | 05:26 |
| linuxuz3r | hi | 05:26 |
| ActionParsnip | subcool_: sup? | 05:26 |
| Dr_Willis | subcool_: never noticed.. i would be suprised if there is. | 05:26 |
| mi3 | jagginess, what ? | 05:26 |
| sobersabre | guys, when you're trying to help ME, please don't interrupt each other: speak one by one. | 05:26 |

| mi3 | jagginess, ok | 05:26 |
| mi3 | jagginess, thanks :D | 05:26 |
| subcool_ | ActionParsnip, idk..... | 05:26 |
| ActionParsnip | subcool_: not thought to try.... | 05:27 |
| SDX | Cover half of your monitor with a sheet of paper. | 05:27 |
| subcool_ | i only have vlc and dragon.... | 05:27 |
| === erappleman is now known as LLStarks | ||
| photonwave | Dr_Willis any pointers on how to do a acpi/power manager fix would be appreciated. Also any links that would guide a newbie on how to upgrade their kernel would be appreciated. | 05:27 |
| Dr_Willis | 3d movies dont wwork for me. ;) | 05:27 |
| subcool_ | i hate dragon | 05:27 |
| jagginess | mi3, you'll still need to know what's hooking that partition.. to be safest, it's always best to use partitioning outside the OS | 05:27 |
| wkay | Im using ub10.04 . im trying to set the "Super_L" key to startup terminal ..using this command "gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_terminal --type string "Super_L"" but didnot work ..someone can help me | 05:27 |
| wkay | ? | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | subcool_: try dragon would be a natural thing to try then, wouldnt it | 05:27 |
| Dr_Willis | photonwave: check the forums and askubntu for your exact make/model device. theres also some ppa's that might have newer kernels. but those are unsupported by this channel. | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | wkay: if you use terminal a lot I can recommend installing guake | 05:27 |
| Dr_Willis | photonwave: 'newbie upgradeing kernel' is like 'newbie learning to defuse a bomb' not a good idea | 05:28 |
| subcool_ | ActionParsnip, Dragon does the same, but massivily shakey | 05:28 |
| mi3 | jagginess, I will find out about that later, after I have done a clean installation of ubuntu :D | 05:28 |
| mi3 | jagginess, I am doing that | 05:28 |
| mi3 | jagginess, but thanks :D | 05:29 |
| ActionParsnip | subcool_: are there options in either player to accommodate the file? | 05:29 |
| ActionParsnip | subcool_: have you asked in #mencoder or #ffmpeg | 05:29 |
| wkay | :) thanks ActionParsnip ; Ive used the windows key for years.. already used to it.. Ill try ur advice .. ; but how can I set that key? | 05:30 |
| brophat | it is possible to backup an entire hard drive so that when you install a new hardrive you can put the back up onto the new hardrive and the computer will boot and be exactly the same as it was before the new hard drive? | 05:30 |
| Dr_Willis | brophat: you can image the hd completely with dd if you want an exact clone. | 05:30 |
| Dr_Willis | !backup | 05:30 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up.

| photonwave | ActionParsnip I have dual channel 4G ram | 05:30 |
| subcool_ | ActionParsnip, Dr_Willis hey- listen i hate to push this.. but ... please? im really really not in a great state right now. The most important person to me in the world died today. | 05:30 |
| SDX | You could try making an iso image of the file, but it might not work. | 05:30 |
| photonwave | Dr_Willis thanks for the pointers | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | subcool_: i have never even owned a 3d movie - or 3d video file. no idea how they work | 05:31 |
| subcool_ | ActionParsnip, i have no idea if there are thing in theplaye rto accomodate this, and no- i havent asked anyplace else | 05:31 |
| photonwave | Dr_Willis this bug is really frustrating, as I bought a new machine and was hoping to have it work without any major problems | 05:31 |
| subcool_ | Dr_Willis, neither have i.. | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | subcool_: other then seeing dvdfab mention some 3d-:2d converter feature.. thats all i know on the topic | 05:31 |
| subcool_ | Dr_Willis, i just tried to ap-get it... not there | 05:32 |
| Dr_Willis | photonwave: often with very 'bran d new, just came out' machines, theres patches that slowly make it into the kernel tree. so eventyally there may be a normal uupodate that fixs the issue | 05:32 |
| Dr_Willis | subcool_: its a windows app... | 05:32 |

| subcool_ | i spent 4 days dl'ing this movie to---- to delete it | 05:34 |
| Dr_Willis | subcool_: it was mentioned that ffmpeg or mencoder Might be able to convert it.. tried doing any research on that method yet? | 05:34 |
| subcool_ | no- just finished d;ed it about 5 hour ago- when i foudn out my family member died | 05:34 |
| subcool_ | not mcuh time to research it | 05:34 |

| subcool_ | i have mourning to induce | 05:36 |

| * Dr_Willis dosent have the hart to tell him that i hesrd that movie sort of stinks... ;) | 05:38 | |
| ActionParsnip | subcool_: maybe you should buy films... | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | think i saw it at teh redbox koisk today also.. | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | photonwave: why is the ram amount of interest? | 05:39 |
| photonwave | oh sorry, I assumed it was.. | 05:39 |
| Blah1 | is there a very small iso i can use to mount existing fs and update root forgotten root pw? grub is broken on this system (blank screen instead of menu) so i can't use that option to boot into single user. ubuntu remix is what i'm using now but it's a couple hundred megabytes and using it over IP is kinda slow | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | photonwave: no, if you are getting random reboots then a memtest is a good first step | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Blah1: tinycorelinux = 10mb :) | 05:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Blah1: setting root pw isn't supported, needed or advised | 05:40 |
| photonwave | ActionParsnip I see, I'll check to see how to do that | 05:40 |
| Viking667 | What application can record an audio stream both from my microphone and the audio from a program such as minecraft? | 05:40 |
| ActionParsnip | photonwave: hold shift at boot, select memtest | 05:40 |
| Blah1 | ActionParsnip, oh ya that's right i meant the ubuntu user ;) | 05:40 |
| Blah1 | Dr_Willis, i'll try that one out. thx | 05:40 |
| photonwave | ActionParsnip please note, it's not a random reboot, it always reboots after I shutdown | 05:40 |
| photonwave | ActionParsnip in case that changes any thing | 05:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Blah1: hold shift at bppt, select recovery mode, select root and you can set your password there | 05:40 |
| Blah1 | ActionParsnip, what's 'bppt'? | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Viking667: i think there was discussion of somthing like that last night.. its a bit hard to record both at the same time. but i think there was mention of using the pulse volumecontrol/tools to let a recorder record both | 05:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Blah1: boot, typo | 05:41 |
| Viking667 | so, his user doesn't have permission to shut down, but does have permission to reboot? I don't get that. | 05:41 |
| Blah1 | ah ok. i didn't know about that shift trick! thanks | 05:41 |
| ActionParsnip | photonwave: if you run: sudo shutdown -h now does it turn off? | 05:41 |
| rodhash | hi | 05:42 |
| Himura | What am i missing here? I did a ssh-keygen copied the .pub key and pasted it at the authorized_keys at the remote machine, but still cant authenticate thgrough the keys. | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | amazeing the # of ways you can shutdown or reboot a linux box. :) | 05:42 |
| rodhash | how can I register in some group that looks to be protected? | 05:42 |
| Viking667 | I'm trying to use "gnome-sound-recorder", but I can't balance the stereo mix against the microphone. Either I get just the application at normal volume, or I get seriously suppressed volume (i.e. 5%) on application, and too much volume on microphone. | 05:42 |
| photonwave | ActionParsnip no it reboots after the shutdown, like other cases | 05:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: indeed, plus the subtler ones like chainsaw | 05:42 |
| ActionParsnip | photonwave: same as a new user too? | 05:42 |
| glitsj16 | Viking667: audio-recorder is very nice | 05:42 |
| Viking667 | thank you. I'll look at that. Is that just the package name, or the name of the binary to execute? | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | photonwave: ive seen bios setings that hafe the pc auto power back up after power failure, or similer.. that might be confused and causing the issue | 05:43 |
| glitsj16 | Viking667: both :) | 05:43 |
| photonwave | ActionParsnip to be honest, I'm nto sure if I tried that exact command ("sudo shutdown -h now"). I can give it a try now. I don't know how to do it as a new user either.. | 05:43 |
| Viking667 | glitsj16: weird. I don't see it in apt-cache's search output | 05:43 |
| ActionParsnip | photonwave: try the command first, then make a new user if it's bad, log on as the new user and try shutting down there | 05:44 |
| glitsj16 | Viking667: i might have gotten it from a PPA, please hold, i'll check | 05:44 |
| photonwave | ok I'll try it now | 05:44 |
| Viking667 | sigh. Figures. | 05:45 |
| glitsj16 | Viking667: https://launchpad.net/~osmoma/+archive/audio-recorder | 05:48 |
| Viking667 | ah. I'll add that and see what packages he has. | 05:50 |
| Viking667 | thank you. | 05:50 |
| glitsj16 | Viking667: np | 05:51 |
| Viking667 | meh. "apt-add-repository thaturl" gets me .... yeah. I'll check the sources.d/ out. | 05:51 |
| Himura | can anybody help me with ssh connections with keys authentication? | 05:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Himura: about all ive ever done was ssh-keygen, then ssh-copy-id remotebox | 05:52 |
| Viking667 | how do I ACTUALLY add that repo so that it imports the keys for me? | 05:52 |
| ubuntu_ | ubuntu | 05:52 |
| Viking667 | this silly thing doesn't have a man page for the apt-add-repository command. Sigh. | 05:52 |
| Himura | Dr_Willis: do i have to set something else at the remote box? | 05:52 |
| bazhang | !addppa | Viking667 | 05:52 |

| Dr_Willis | weebl-_: the menus ont he cd early in bootup has the feature. that nomodset guide has screenshots of doing it | 05:58 |
| Dr_Willis | you see a little man=keyboard image. you hit sshift, space, esc, or somthing.. ;) and it getes to an options page | 05:59 |

| glitsj16 | !pinning | lizzin | 06:40 |
| ubottu | lizzin: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 06:40 |
| glitsj16 | lizzin: synaptic makes things like that somewhat easier if you're familiar with that | 06:41 |
| Dr_Willis | lizzin: whats broken? | 06:41 |
| lizzin | Dr_Willis: sbt 0.11.3 scala 2.9.1 and lifty 1.7.5-snapshot don't seem to work together | 06:42 |
| Dr_Willis | dident you install some of those via .deb files earlier today? | 06:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !info sbt | 06:42 |
| ubottu | Package sbt does not exist in precise | 06:42 |
| lizzin | Dr_Willis: i installed the deb file in order to add the repository | 06:43 |
| Dr_Willis | so they came from some ppa? | 06:43 |
| lizzin | Dr_Willis: ppa? | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | !ppa | 06:44 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 06:44 |

| lizzin | ubottu: thanks | 06:45 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 06:45 |

| lizzin | http://search.maven.org | 06:45 |
| lizzin | err | 06:45 |
| lizzin | http://apt.typesafe.com/ | 06:45 |
| lizzin | Dr_Willis: | 06:46 |
| Dr_Willis | if they were made for debian.. thats not quite the same as for ubuntu. You may want to see if thers an actual Ubuntu PPA for the tools. | 06:46 |
| Dr_Willis | adding debian repos to a ubuntu system. can break things | 06:46 |
| lizzin | i don't think thats the issue | 06:46 |
| lizzin | i checked my osx system and it's showing the same issue now | 06:47 |
| lizzin | Dr_Willis: http://hpaste.org/69876 | 06:48 |

| Viking667 | you hold down the Alt key, and right-click on the panel | 06:53 |
| taylor_ | Viking667: yes .. nothing happens | 06:53 |
| Viking667 | Choose Properties. | 06:53 |
| Viking667 | weird. You do Alt-Rightclick? | 06:54 |
| taylor_ | yes.. | 06:54 |
| taylor_ | if i alt click i can drag the panel around | 06:54 |
| Viking667 | not alt-leftclick. | 06:54 |
| Viking667 | Alt-RIGHTclick | 06:54 |
| taylor_ | right ... if i do alt right click nothing happens | 06:54 |
| taylor_ | is it compiz? | 06:54 |
| Viking667 | hm. could be. | 06:54 |
| Viking667 | $ ps ax | grep metacity | 06:55 |

| taylor_ | yes.. nothing happens | 06:55 |
| Viking667 | ANd Control? | 06:55 |

| Viking667 | what about Middle-click? | 06:56 |
| taylor_ | i actually have a middle click button .. i tried it .. nothing happens | 06:56 |

| Dr_Willis | Naero: the xchat docs are decently well done at their homepage. and theres the xchat channels. but we can try to help i guess | 07:46 |

| StarryNight | anyone uses windows phone or zune? | 07:47 |
| Dr_Willis | be neat to see what happens with that Ubuntu Phone.if it ever gets here | 07:48 |
| fidel | StarryNight: this question sounds way offtopic | 07:48 |
| glitsj16 | CrazyGangster: next option ... inside chromium click the wrench icon, select 'view background pages' and try closing the tab and or flash plugin | 07:48 |
| StarryNight | actually no cause i dont see many ppl with windows none i should say and zune | 07:49 |
| C-S-B | Dr_Willis: I had the N900, that was an amazing sysadmin phone. | 07:49 |
| C-S-B | Dr_Willis: full keyboard and proper linux. | 07:50 |
| === integra_ is now known as MaNU___ | ||
| StarryNight | ppl use android for phones and ipods (which has unix code in it) | 07:50 |
| Dr_Willis | using a Blue toothkeybord here. some keys dont work right for me over 'connectbot' on android and ssh. | 07:51 |
| C-S-B | StarryNight: Android has a linux kernel... | 07:51 |
| Dr_Willis | so you may notice i cant do some bash commands properly ;) | 07:51 |
| C-S-B | Dr_Willis: that could be down to skill, not hardware. lol | 07:51 |
| Dr_Willis | the greater then and less thena keys give me a colon and semicolan | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | no backtick or tilda either | 07:52 |
| C-S-B | Dr_Willis: is that not just keyboard layout? | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | normal ; : key works.. | 07:53 |
| Dr_Willis | so what layout would have the identical characers on 2 keys :) | 07:53 |
| Dr_Willis | and no tilda/backtick | 07:53 |
| C-S-B | Dr_Willis: I'm going to blame America. Their layout is frankly crazy. | 07:54 |
| C-S-B | '@' doesnt belong there. | 07:54 |
| Dr_Willis | C-S-B: its not a layout issue. rest of the keys are all correct. just the ;: and tilda/backtick.. are goofy. | 07:55 |
| Dr_Willis | F kleys dont work at all either. | 07:55 |
| C-S-B | Dr_Willis: I'm sticking to my '@' comment. | 07:55 |
| Dr_Willis | so its Bluetooth -: android -: connectbot -: ssh couldbe an issue in any of those layers | 07:55 |
| C-S-B | Dr_Willis: have you eliminated connectbot? | 07:56 |
| gogeta | Dr_Willis: check out hacker keybord for andorid it has all the keys | 07:56 |
| Dr_Willis | connectbot is the only ssh client i have | 07:56 |
| Dr_Willis | gogeta: im using a real phyusical keyboard. :) | 07:56 |
| C-S-B | Dr_Willis: but it's not the only app you can type in... | 07:56 |
| Dr_Willis | made for android tablets | 07:56 |
| fidel | Dr_Willis: could you tell me the name of that keyboard for android? i guess its just a common bluetooth device? | 07:57 |
| Dr_Willis | no other apps take the F keys. and ive not really needed the other keys when msging | 07:57 |
| Dr_Willis | fidel: its a Motorola one. was $80 found it on sale for $13 bought 3 of them | 07:57 |
| DJones | Dr_Willis: Have you tried irssiconnectbot, i found that works better than ordinary connectbot for use with irssi (has ctrl-alt-d setup ready to use, things like that) | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | i am using irssi connect bot. and connectbot. | 07:59 |
| Dr_Willis | both have same keyboard issue. which is also an issue in all he android apps i just tested. ;) | 07:59 |

| StarryNight | anyone knows of a gaming linux not running wine? | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | there are native linux games. | 08:01 |
| fidel | StarryNight: there are tons of games | 08:01 |
| DJones | !games | StarryNight Have you looked at these? | 08:01 |
| ubottu | StarryNight Have you looked at these?: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and http://www.penguspy.com/ | 08:01 |
| the_legend | UTK 2004 doesnt require wine | 08:01 |
| fidel | StarryNight: the currently sold Humble Bundle is a nice example of a cheap games collection running on almost all platforms | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Trine , ;) | 08:02 |
| StarryNight | yea i noticed that but i get a lot of questions from gamers about it and i have some windows equivalent games | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | if your primary goal is games.. stick to windows.. unless thers just specific games you can get going on linux.. | 08:03 |
| fidel | StarryNight: the question is always: does the game-designer/developer offer a linux version or not - in case he doenst offer one - wine or similar are / or might be your last options | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | that work well with wine, or native | 08:03 |
| fidel | StarryNight: apart from that - there will always be games you just cant run on linux without big extra-work & pretty specific setups | 08:04 |
| Dr_Willis | ive had to do major work on windows to get windows games going... in windows... | 08:04 |
| fidel | so - if you really consider yourself a full-time gamer -> go for a windows-partition | 08:04 |
| StarryNight | yea unless u r gamer who design games or work for company that design games there is NO excuse for ppl not to switch | 08:04 |
| StarryNight | fidel will not put up with windows atm i see some dumb ppl crashing it all the time because they get either a game which they had problem installing or downloaded a porno with virus no offense | 08:05 |

| Dr_Willis | FF just got updated last week.. theres only so many man hours out there. ;) | 08:09 |
| Naero | Open up your icon tray and click on the "Customize" button. | 08:09 |
| Dr_Willis | plus if they are porting the bug fixs back to the older versions, you may not see any big version # jumps | 08:09 |
| eli_ | hello how can i upgrade virtualbox in ubuntu 12.04 | 08:09 |
| Naero | Then you can customize your notification area to choose which icons should be visible on the task bar near the clock. | 08:09 |
| taylor_ | Naero: how.. | 08:09 |
| Naero | There should be an arrow pointing up next to the clock, which will open up the tray. | 08:10 |
| taylor_ | im using gnome classic... | 08:10 |
| Dr_Willis | eli_: use the version in the repos../ or get it from the vbox homepage | 08:10 |
| eli_ | Dr_Willis: do i need to desintall the old one | 08:10 |
| Dr_Willis | eli_: may be best to do that - if youare getting it from their homepage | 08:11 |
| eli_ | okthanks | 08:11 |
| Dr_Willis | i only use the one from the repos normally | 08:11 |
| eli_ | Dr_Willis: is that better to use only what is repos is? or it doesn't matter to compile some time | 08:12 |
| Dr_Willis | i dontknow of any new features in vbox that i need to update it.. | 08:12 |
| Dr_Willis | so the repo version works for me | 08:12 |
| Dr_Willis | less hassle | 08:12 |
| eli_ | no i mean generally, other packages | 08:13 |
| Dr_Willis | i use whats in the repos most of the time | 08:13 |
| eli_ | ok thanks :) | 08:13 |
| Dr_Willis | i rarely if ever compile. | 08:14 |
| Erebus_ | How do you get the terminal to not show the entire directory tree when cding around? Like I really want to see is the current directory. | 08:14 |

| taylor_ | its like a graphical version of grub .. its pretty cool | 08:17 |
| Dr_Willis | loneclock: update and upgrade to be sure everything is up to date. then figur eout wht you want to do next. ;) | 08:17 |
| loneclock | Dr_Willis, what is the command to do that? | 08:18 |
| taylor_ | sudo apt-get upgrade | 08:18 |
| Dr_Willis | loneclock: use the gui package manager/update tool.. or sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade | 08:18 |
| loneclock | what is the key to open a terminal? | 08:19 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | alt and T | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | i always put an icon on the panel for the terminal. ;) | 08:19 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | ...well back in the old days | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | of cours ei always have one open also... | 08:19 |
| taylor_ | is there a binary somewhere for indicator-power so i can start it and get the icon in my panel. | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | press and hold the SUPEr key to see some unity shortcuts also | 08:20 |
| loneclock | alt t didnt work, i already have one open for xchat but how can i open another one? | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | loneclock: if a terminal icon is in the panel, middle click on it | 08:20 |
| loneclock | how do i remove all these programs i dont want like libreoffice | 08:22 |
| Dr_Willis | loneclock: use the package manager tools.. notice the 'software center' icon? | 08:22 |
| Dr_Willis | or install/uuse synaptic for a simpiler gui | 08:22 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | loneclock: sudo apt-get purge "libreoffice" | 08:23 |

| kroonrs | I just upgraded from 10.04 (kubuntu netbook edition) to 12.04. The upgrade said "too many errors" were reported, but the upgrade was completed. However, now my machine no longer shows eth0, wlan0 or my network manager... How can I try to fix it? (no anwer on #kubuntu) | 08:31 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Dr_Willis: you think maybe some op might one day hide connecting ip's that join channel. A bit frightening I have always thought being in these irc channels | 08:31 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | kroonrs: burg I believe to work in lubuntu | 08:31 |
| Pravi | how can i retreave my data from a drive which is unallocated | 08:32 |
| kroonrs | Us3r_Unfriendly: I don't understand?.. | 08:32 |
| op_ | <Us3r_Unfriendly> How sure are you :D ? | 08:32 |
| taylor_ | im sure... i followed that guide exactly | 08:33 |
| taylor_ | im using it now... | 08:33 |
| Pravi | sir i accedenttly deleted a drive of 9 mb which was there and my 2 drives were deleted | 08:33 |
| * Dr_Willis is back | 08:33 | |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Pravi: have you tried "Testdisk", should be in the repos. not sure if it will work on a unallocated drive, but it's worked wonders for me | 08:33 |
| Pravi | thanks | 08:33 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | op_: i don't understand | 08:33 |
| Pravi | bt i don`t know how 2 use it | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | how did you set the partitions to be unallocated? | 08:34 |
| op_ | <Us3r_Unfriendly> nvm Ill try to install it anyway. :) | 08:34 |
| Pravi | this 9 mb drive was swap area | 08:34 |

| taylor_ | op_: are you installing burg? | 08:34 |
| * Dr_Willis does not reccmend using burg | 08:35 | |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Pravi: when you install "Testdisk", use the command "photorec", should recover a bunch of data | 08:35 |
| op_ | taylor_ yes , on lubuntu 12.04 | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Pravi: 9mb or 9gb? | 08:35 |
| kroonrs | any suggestions for how I can get my machine to detect eth0? | 08:35 |
| Pravi | bt wen i installed xp it became a drive and now my 200gb drive is not visible on xp since it is unallocated | 08:35 |
| Pravi | it`s 9 m,b | 08:36 |
| taylor_ | super boot manager makes it really easy to configure burg... nice gtk gui for everything | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | !info burg | 08:36 |
| ubottu | Package burg does not exist in precise | 08:36 |
| op_ | taylor_ will keep it in mind ,thanks | 08:36 |
| Pravi | it was like drive which was extended | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | so burg basically is not supported by this channel.. so if it makes yiur system unbootable.. well.. good luck | 08:36 |
| taylor_ | you have to activate another ppa | 08:36 |
| op_ | Dr_Willis then Grub rescue disk comes in handy :) or test disk :D | 08:37 |
| Pravi | how can i get my data back ?????/// many imp study materials!!!!!! | 08:38 |
| Dr_Willis | never really need either of those. | 08:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Pravi: details as to exactly what you did - would be helpfull | 08:38 |
| taylor_ | burg and grub are really similar configuration wise .. you shouldnt have any problems | 08:38 |
| * Dr_Willis has seen many people in here with burg issues.. but then agaion.. you also see grub issues. ;) | 08:38 | |
| Pravi | first wen itried to install ubuntu 12.04 it extended my c drive of 50 gb into 30 and 20 were 20 was taken by ubuntu | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont see the point in boot time eyecandy i see once a month.. due to 30+ days uptime | 08:39 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Dr_Willis: I gotta know what you call this when you use a cli app that kinda looks like msdos. say for example when compiling a kernel...you'd use the command "make menuconfig" which brings you to a menu where it's not commandline, but more interactive. Another example is cfdisk, or even htop. would you consider these "command line" or something else. what do you call them?? | 08:39 |
| minas | Hi, when I used windows 7, I used to listen to online radio from firefox. In ubuntu this doesn't work. I think it's because firefox on win7 used windows media player to play the music... Is there a way to achieve it on ubuntu? Here's the radio station if someone wants to test it: http://www.e-radio.gr/player/player.asp?sid=191 | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Pravi: it resized the 50gb into a 30 for windows. and a 20gb for linux you mean?: | 08:40 |
| Pravi | ya | 08:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Us3r_Unfriendly: 'ncurses interface' | 08:40 |
| Pravi | 20 was extende frm 50 | 08:40 |
| op_ | Dr_Willis I use Linux distros as my hobby bcs not one of them run as fast and responsive (or working correctly ) as my Windows 7 OS. So Im not concerned if I mess something up :D | 08:40 |
| taylor_ | any linux almost runs alot faster than windows | 08:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Pravi: extended means somthing else.. it resized the windows partitiosn and Made an 'extended' partition. which contains 2 logical partitions one for / and one for swap - normally | 08:41 |
| Pravi | ya | 08:41 |
| Pravi | bt i didn`t like it so i just formatted it so that i cud use wind 7 | 08:42 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | I think photorec does recover on a newly erased partition | 08:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Pravi: formated what? be more exacting in your terms | 08:42 |

| StarryNight | i seen kde tablet and it is more user friendly than a windows tablet | 08:47 |
| op_ | Mostly bcs I dont need to worry about viruses... Noscript ,and UFW are doign their job :D | 08:47 |
| Pravi | now when i tried to install windows 7 i saw this 9 mb drive......... so what i did was i deleted that 9 mb drive and made it as unallocated but then as soon i deleted,,,,,,,,,,,,,, my 200gb drive and 50gb c drive both became unallocated | 08:48 |
| Dr_Willis | you can install ubuntu in a vm now on many cellphones. and rooted tablets i imagine | 08:48 |
| op_ | taylor_ yeah ,just put FF and maail on desktop and everything is fine :D | 08:48 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Dr_Willis: fidel: why is this an issue? why are tablets so difficult. That's why i haven't even bothered with them | 08:48 |
| fidel | Pravi: what is your native language? | 08:48 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | op_: UFW ftw | 08:48 |
| Pravi | malayalam | 08:49 |
| pesci | hi | 08:49 |
| fidel | Us3r_Unfriendly: what means difficult? industry just doesnt care so far to run something else on them | 08:49 |
| loneclock | ok, i updated and upgraded, removed the programs i didnt really want....anything else vital i should do? | 08:49 |
| fidel | !in > Pravi | 08:49 |
| ubottu | Pravi, please see my private message | 08:49 |
| Dr_Willis | loneclock: set a cool wallpaper | 08:49 |
| fidel | i hope i am guessing right with that language ;) | 08:49 |
| minas | xspider: It seems I have this package (gstreamer) in its latest version... | 08:50 |
| loneclock | i would like to import my gnucash stuff and my thunderbird stuff from windows partition if thats possible but i would first like to change the timer on grub | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | !grub2 | loneclock | 08:51 |
| ubottu | loneclock: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 08:51 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | fidel: i mean as in android is something for the new generation to play with. for me this means nothing. I want my linux distro I choose to run on a common tablet of my choosing. | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | loneclock: time out delay is set in /etc/default/grub change it. run sudo update-grub :) other grub tweaks in the docs abovvbve | 08:51 |
| fidel | Us3r_Unfriendly: i get that i just dont get your problem ;). There are tablets already where ppl try or successfully run other os'es on them. | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Im not sure how well unity, or most apps would run on a tablet.. the change from mouse-keybord to touch screen. can cause all sorts of .. issues | 08:52 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | fidel: without vnc'ing on top of android? | 08:52 |
| fidel | so check the available hardware - and then if you find an interesting model spend some minutes to check if someone was able to run your-distri on it | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Us3r_Unfriendly: theres Ubuntu-arm port yes.. | 08:53 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Dr_Willis: thanks Dr_Willis and fidel | 08:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Us3r_Unfriendly: heard of a ubuntu phone that runs both comming out.. sometime... | 08:53 |
| fidel | Us3r_Unfriendly: i think a pretty common model - running linux&kde might be the vivaldi-tablet | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | android/tablet/phones are evoloving at a very fast pace | 08:54 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Dr_Willis: fidel: I'm looking forward to the ubuntu phone. i'm tired of android and ios | 08:54 |
| _P3S_ | where can I find a kernel stable fot i7 mobile edition... | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | amazon phone in the works alsoi hearr. :) | 08:54 |
| _P3S_ | because the uficial kernel genric is affected by several freze | 08:55 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Dr_Willis: amazon as in amazon.com ?? | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Us3r_Unfriendly: yes | 08:55 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Dr_Willis: weird | 08:55 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | but cool | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | i want one of those e-ink displays as a monitor :_ for my spare monitor. heh | 08:55 |
| _P3S_ | I can't figure out what this freze are caused by... | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont need fancy colors for my ircing 2nd mnitor. | 08:56 |
| sneakza | Hi | 08:57 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Dr_Willis: eink...cool. not like ebook readers where it's black on white. your talking about with color | 08:57 |
| duoi | hey guys. im doing a sample exam for this final i have and one question has me stumped. it asked for 3 system directory calls. naturally i assumed opendir, closedir and readdir, which is fine. however the next question asks "why is the write directory system call not included in the above list?" | 08:57 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | ? | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Us3r_Unfriendly: i dont need color. :) | 08:57 |
| duoi | i've tried looking online with no avail. can anyone help? | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Us3r_Unfriendly: id like to have a android phone with e-ink and a ;loooong battery life | 08:58 |
| sneakza | I'm using pressed with an installation, it seems the whole install goes well until i try boot the new system, where i end up with a grub error which says out of disk, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1038693/ id my preseed config and the install log which says grub install successful… any ideas | 08:58 |
| t432 | Where do add a .jar library so that app can find it? | 08:59 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Dr_Willis: good luck with that. I downgraded to my lg slider phone from my new iphone due to battery life. I get 3 days on my lg slider, as I get a couple of hours with the iphone | 08:59 |
| Dr_Willis | sneakza: erlier today some one mentioned how grub 'out of disk' means the boot files are to far 'back' on the hard drive like in the old lili 1023 cylinder limit. putting a /boot/ partition at the start of the drive might fix the issue | 08:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Us3r_Unfriendly: my phone is 'on' full display here on irc.. for like 4 hrs.. befor i have to change batteries. ;) | 09:00 |
| Dr_Willis | im ircing 90% of the time. so i dont neef lots of color. just battery | 09:01 |
| Bobbaanasdasd | asd | 09:01 |
| kroonrs | is lshw supposed to put all output on one line (overwriting itself repeatedly) and then just stop at "PCI (sysfs)", instead of terminating and giving a prompt back? | 09:01 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Dr_Willis: your using your phone for irc? I tried that using my iphone and the screen was horrible to read everyone's questions | 09:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Us3r_Unfriendly: i see the teext finbe., | 09:02 |
| taylor_ | my fingers got cramped typing with irc on my phone | 09:02 |
| Dr_Willis | its a bit laggy since im ssh'd to my linux box. :) | 09:02 |
| sneakza | Dr_Willis: i'll check that but I think /boot is my first partition /sda1 | 09:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Full Sized Bluetoothe keybords.. are handy | 09:02 |
| === chris_ is now known as Guest73851 | ||
| Us3r_Unfriendly | taylor_: i second that...the keyboard was horrible trying to use irssi in iphone | 09:02 |
| Viking667 | WHat's a good program to record audio and video from an application (minecraft, in this case). I'd like it to record both the microphone and the sound that the application makes, in addition to the 3D buffer. | 09:03 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Viking667: audacity | 09:03 |
| taylor_ | audacity doesnt do video | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | !screencapture | 09:03 |
| Viking667 | I've tried "Desktop recorder", and the video's all ... chocker squares, and the audio's only from the mic | 09:03 |
| taylor_ | +1 to your question ... id like to know also | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | !info gtkrecordmydesktop | 09:03 |
| ubottu | Package gtkrecordmydesktop does not exist in precise | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm. how its spelt.. | 09:04 |
| loneclock | how do i make a window fullscreen (covering the sidebar) and how do i minimize it once i have made it full screen | 09:04 |
| Viking667 | I found an app to do the audio, but I can't exactly string that together with video | 09:04 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | taylor_: your right, i totally miss read that | 09:04 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Viking667: Dr_Willis is right | 09:04 |
| Viking667 | gtk-recordmydesktop | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | loneclock: you need to set the 'launcher' to auto hide. then just doule clixk the windows title bar | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | double click | 09:04 |
| Viking667 | I think that's what I was trying. | 09:05 |
| taylor_ | its 5:04 am here... ima go... ill see you guys later | 09:05 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | later taylor_ | 09:05 |
| tstacey | need some good cards | 09:05 |
| Viking667 | Yup. That was. | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | getting the screen capture apps to capture sound can be a pain.. getting both sound and mic.. may be trickier | 09:05 |
| Viking667 | mmmm. | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | someone in here was asking about just that task yesterday | 09:06 |
| Dr_Willis | some forum posts where mentioned,. perhaps check the logs | 09:06 |
| Dr_Willis | !logs | 09:06 |
| ubottu | Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | 09:06 |
| Viking667 | I'm trying to do the run all at once, so I don't have to add audio layers. | 09:06 |
| loneclock | Dr_Willis, how do i set it to auto hide? | 09:07 |
| Dr_Willis | loneclock: some of the unity tweak tools can do it. I normally set mine to never hide, ' | 09:07 |
| Dr_Willis | which is the default now. :) | 09:07 |
| Dr_Willis | !info myunity | 09:08 |

| Dr_Willis | askubuntu.com should have several answers on setting the panel hide settings also | 09:08 |

| infs | hello ... what would be the easyest and failsafe way to remove old kernells from boot menu? | 09:10 |
| Dr_Willis | infs: just use the package manager to uninstall them | 09:10 |
| SteeNk | hello all | 09:10 |
| Dr_Willis | dont uninstsll th one you are using. :) and keep at least one older one around | 09:11 |
| anos | hi dude what is this error for "timing out command, waited 180s" | 09:12 |
| infs | Dr_Willis: can I uninstall all that has 2.6.32-39(old) in package name? | 09:12 |
| Dr_Willis | infs: i doubt if the package name has (old) in it... | 09:13 |
| Dr_Willis | use the synaptic package manager. and look at the version 3's | 09:13 |
| infs | no i mean that <41 | 09:13 |
| Dr_Willis | #'s | 09:13 |
| infs | old<41 | 09:13 |
| Dr_Willis | id keep the current and at least ONE older one.. just in caswe | 09:13 |
| infs | the last two numbers after - | 09:13 |
| infs | but every old backages can go? | 09:14 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont really find it an issue worth worrrying about... i rarely uninstall the kenrels | 09:14 |
| Nom- | Hey all, was curious if anyone can direct me to any info about the script(s) used to generate the official Ubuntu CD? | 09:14 |
| Dr_Willis | uninstall the oldest 2 or 3 if you want i ugess.. or whatever you feel safe with. | 09:14 |
| infs | well I'm having a very big list when I boot up ... I dont like it =) | 09:15 |
| ubuntu_ | Hello can someone tell me how i get the resolution of my output screen via hdmi? is it Xrandr? | 09:15 |
| Dr_Willis | err.. i dont see a big list.. they are all in a sub menu in grub here.... | 09:15 |
| ubuntu_ | Hello can someone tell me how i get the resolution of my output screen via hdmi? is it Xrandr? | 09:15 |
| Dr_Willis | all under "Older kernels" | 09:15 |
| dizzylizzy | ubuntu_, "get"? | 09:16 |
| dizzylizzy | what do you mean by "get the resolution of..." | 09:16 |
| infs | well my easypeasy ubuntu has all from 21 to 41 in the boot menu | 09:16 |
| ubuntu_ | dizzylizzy: I want to know my current resolution on the laptop and the tv to which it does a mirror output | 09:17 |
| ubuntu_ | How to i find out the resolution via the cli? | 09:17 |
| Dr_Willis | no idea on easypeasy.. im using 12.04 clean install.. it puts them in a sub menu here | 09:17 |
| Dr_Willis | but removeing them.. and updateing grub.. should clean out the list | 09:17 |
| Viking667 | sigh. Right, I so don't want to use Windows for this. | 09:18 |
| adamk | ubuntu_: Did you try xrandr? :-) If so, you would have seen that it shows the current resolution. | 09:18 |
| Viking667 | ... because that has its own issues | 09:18 |
| ubuntu_ | adamk: yes but im not sure which is which | 09:18 |
| dizzylizzy | ubuntu_, how about xdpyinfo |grep 'dimensions' | 09:19 |
| dizzylizzy | or without the grep | 09:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Viking667: seems it would be easier to record the game session, then add voice over later via a video editing app. so you can edit out stupid things you say. ;) | 09:19 |
| dizzylizzy | i recommend piping it through 'less' | 09:19 |
| adamk | ubuntu_: As the xrandr man page says: " If invoked without any option, it will dump the state of the outputs, showing the existing modes for each of them, with a '+' after the pre-ferred mode and a '*' after the current mode." | 09:19 |
| ubuntu_ | admthanks | 09:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Viking667: as soon as you hit record.. the phone will ring. ;) | 09:19 |
| dizzylizzy | xrandr would definitely be more concise, yeah :P i suck | 09:21 |

| MonkeyDust | Applesouce if you're sweet | 09:34 |
| eahr | hi, i installed the minimal ubuntu system and X on top of it. i tried changing the mouse cursor theme with update-alternatives, but no matter which theme i use, the "normal" cursor icon is always the black x icon (which is the default in X). any ideas how to apply the new theme to that too? | 09:34 |
| Applesouce | :) | 09:35 |
| ikonia | eahr update-alternatives to change a mouse theme ? | 09:35 |
| eahr | ikonia: update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme | 09:35 |
| Applesouce | Well I have decreased the size of my Windows partition, now I have 80GB unallocated space but cant add it to my extended partition | 09:35 |
| phantome | Applesource why not just mount it? | 09:36 |
| Applesouce | mount what | 09:36 |
| MonkeyDust | Applesouce guess you have to create a partition inside the extended partition, you cannot move them | 09:36 |
| ikonia | eahr: I didn't know you could do that with a theme | 09:36 |
| zaggynl | Can anyone recommend me a Remote Desktop server alternative for Ubuntu? | 09:37 |
| Applesouce | I cant create more partitions | 09:37 |
| zaggynl | To take over the Ubuntu desktop that is. | 09:37 |
| eahr | ikonia: yeah, i don't have any desktop environment installed or anything, so i have to get it done from the command line | 09:37 |
| MonkeyDust | Applesouce in a terminal, type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit and paste the url in the channel, so we can see | 09:38 |
| Cebor | hi, i get an error while compiling powertop: http://pastebin.com/7wwhfqWT can someone help me to solve this ?? | 09:38 |
| phantome | Applesource: I imagine that you tried to merge the free space with your root partition | 09:38 |
| phantome | Applesource: and couldn't do it because it was mounted right? | 09:38 |
| phantome | (i mean the root pt) | 09:39 |
| glitsj16 | eahr: dconf > org.gnome.desktop.interface > cursor-theme (n clue what cli syntax that should be) | 09:39 |
| Applesouce | No did I say that | 09:39 |
| ikonia | eahr: a very interesting approach | 09:39 |
| phantome | If you are going to do it (to add the free space to your root partition) you will ***NEED*** to do backup your root just in case and use a livecd with gparted installed | 09:40 |
| eahr | glitsj16: hmm.. sounds like something related to gnome, which i don't have? | 09:40 |
| Applesouce | http://pastebin.com/UAnyHWcK | 09:41 |
| phantome | Here http://bit.ly/Lx9FIa (on the ubuntu site) there is a short discussion, but I guess a little googling around will help alot. But, be carefull, backup your root in any case | 09:41 |
| phantome | Apple, a side question, how much ram do you have? | 09:42 |
| Applesouce | 8GB | 09:42 |
| MonkeyDust | Applesouce is there a reason for the 3 NTFS partitions? | 09:42 |
| glitsj16 | eahr: that's how i made my new cursor theme stick, i'm afraid i have no more clues on this | 09:42 |
| Applesouce | They are for Windows | 09:42 |
| MonkeyDust | Applesouce all 3 of them, or can you delete one or two? | 09:42 |
| phantome | Then know that you don't need swap partition | 09:42 |
| phantome | you can delete it, merge the free space into that | 09:43 |
| phantome | and make it a partition and mount it | 09:43 |
| eahr | glitsj16: i see, i'll have to look into it. thanks | 09:43 |
| Applesouce | ehm not really because one is C and one is D and the other one is for System Resource | 09:43 |
| phantome | with 8gig ram you will NEVER use swap | 09:43 |
| phantome | ( well, if you reach the swap then you got serious problem :DDD ) | 09:43 |
| Applesouce | Well it was made by Ubuntu so I just kept it, Im now having a different problem | 09:43 |
| phantome | you can remove it. Your partitioning problem will be solved by removing the useless swap. You will be able to create a partition, and also merge all freespace there | 09:44 |
| phantome | just saying... | 09:45 |
| Applesouce | no it didnt help | 09:45 |
| glitsj16 | eahr: have you tried adding the theme to /usr/share/icons, and to get X11 support, change /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme | 09:45 |
| glitsj16 | to point to the new theme (Inherits=<theme dir name>)? that's how it used to work before ubuntu precise | 09:45 |
| MonkeyDust | Applesouce what /dev is (or was) the unallocated space? | 09:45 |
| Applesouce | it was a part of the C drive | 09:45 |
| Applesouce | ehm &dev&sda2 | 09:46 |
| phantome | Oh, it was on different drive? Anyway, it was useless :D | 09:46 |
| Applesouce | This is all on the same harddrive | 09:46 |
| eahr | glitsj16: i got the themes from the ubuntu repositories (for examples dmz-cursor-theme), and it seems that's where they have been installed. index.theme also points to the correct theme | 09:48 |
| phantome | It doesn't make any sense though, if you deleted a partition then you must be able to create a new in it's place. Anyway I'll check the net | 09:48 |
| Applesouce | it was under a extended partition so no it didnt count | 09:48 |
| Viking667 | mrm. I'm not exactly finding a videorecording app I can even use, yet. | 09:49 |
| glitsj16 | eahr: it might need a logout/login, but i guess you've already tried that | 09:49 |
| Viking667 | All the ones I've tried under Linux have erm, sucked like 34-day-old bread | 09:49 |
| eahr | glitsj16: the selected theme works fine, except for the normal cursor icon, which should be a regular arrow in dmz, but it's the x-icon instead (the default in X.org) | 09:49 |
| phantome | ok Applesource, I found a similar story like the one i linked before on suse forums too. They say that it's plain easy: You boot with live distro (with gparted) and then resize your partition | 09:51 |
| Applesouce | damn its Applesouce why does everyone think its source ... | 09:51 |
| glitsj16 | eahr: yes your problem sounded familiar, i had a similar experience changing cursor themes from the official repositories ... perhaps someone more familiar with dconf can help out | 09:52 |
| phantome | The only note was that you need to have a clean filesystem ... (meaning no problems with your fs, which is usualy the case) | 09:52 |
| phantome | hahah sorry | 09:52 |
| Applesouce | IM on a live partition | 09:52 |
| phantome | live cd? | 09:52 |
| Applesouce | yes | 09:52 |
| phantome | then run gparted | 09:52 |
| Applesouce | how should I resize my mount partition | 09:52 |
| eahr | glitsj16: i've found people with the same (or similar) problem, just never a solution ( http://askubuntu.com/questions/69105/ and http://askubuntu.com/questions/95564/ ) | 09:52 |
| Applesouce | how did you think did I resize in the first place I have that running | 09:52 |
| eahr | glitsj16: but yeah, thanks anyway :) | 09:53 |
| phantome | ehm I didn't understand | 09:53 |
| phantome | You did resize it right? | 09:53 |
| Applesouce | I have resized my Windows partition | 09:53 |
| Applesouce | with gparted | 09:53 |
| phantome | did you reboot? | 09:53 |
| phantome | you need reboot for the changes to take effect | 09:54 |
| Applesouce | no Im on a live CD why should I reboot | 09:54 |
| fep | :p | 09:54 |
| Applesouce | I want to add it to mz other partition | 09:54 |
| glitsj16 | eahr: np, these 'small' things can be a pain ;) | 09:54 |
| diverdude | hi | 09:54 |
| diverdude | I read some news that amazon stored more than a trillion objects in their cloud systems. What are these objects? | 09:54 |
| Applesouce | but it doesnt work ... as I said now like one million times | 09:54 |
| MonkeyDust | Applesouce do you have windows installed, or do you *plan* to install it? | 09:56 |
| Applesouce | I have windows installed | 09:56 |
| MonkeyDust | Applesouce at this point, my advice would be to backup your windows, delete all partitions and start over partitioning | 09:58 |
| qw | hello all | 09:58 |
| Applesouce | Is this reallz the onlz way | 09:58 |
| glitsj16 | eahr: an ugly hack might be to replace your 'old' normal cursor icon with the 'new' one in /usr/share/icons | 10:00 |
| kroonrs | I'm trying to shift from kubuntu to ubuntu. For first step (apt-get install ubuntu-desktop), I get error "Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages". But apt-get upgrade shows no problems. (I have just upgraded 10.04 to 12.04). | 10:01 |
| Cebor | hi, i get an error while compiling powertop: http://pastebin.com/7wwhfqWT can someone help me to solve this ?? | 10:02 |
| D[4]ni | kroonrs: does `dpkg --get-selections | grep hold` show anything? | 10:02 |
| MonkeyDust | kroonrs try sudo apt-get -f install -f means fix | 10:02 |
| eahr | glitsj16: i was considering doing that, but i'm not sure where i would find the default icon theme of X | 10:02 |
| kroonrs | D[4]ni: no - nothing | 10:03 |
| kroonrs | MonkeyDust: -f install doesn't do anything | 10:03 |
| glitsj16 | eahr: i believe it's either DMZ-Black or DMZ-White (in /usr/share/icons) | 10:04 |
| D[4]ni | kroonrs: you _must_ have some packages on hold since it says "held broken packages" | 10:05 |
| D[4]ni | kroonrs: are you by any chance using aptitude? | 10:05 |
| kroonrs | D[4]ni: am using apt-get | 10:05 |
| D[4]ni | kroonrs: did you copy the ` with the command? because you shouldn't | 10:06 |
| lukas1321 | Can someone tell me how I can add Ubuntu into my NTLDR? | 10:07 |
| D[4]ni | lukas1321: download, install and run EasyBCD on your windows | 10:07 |
| eahr | glitsj16: that's actually the icon theme i'd like to use (well, one of the possibilities), but i mean the fully black icon theme that X.org uses by default. can't find a screenshot of it anywhere right now though. | 10:07 |
| D[4]ni | lukas1321: wait, win xp? | 10:07 |
| lukas1321 | D[4]ni: Already did that, no dice :( | 10:07 |
| lukas1321 | D[4]: 7 and 8 | 10:08 |
| kroonrs | Part of the error says "This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation of if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming". Not quite sure what they mean by "Incoming" or "the unstable distribution | 10:08 |
| kroonrs | D[4]ni: no, I didn't copy the backtick-quote | 10:08 |
| lukas1321 | D[4]ni: I run Win7 and Win8 (release preview, on diff artitions) | 10:08 |
| lukas1321 | partitions* | 10:08 |
| D[4]ni | lukas1321: well, easybcd works for me(tm) | 10:09 |
| D[4]ni | kroonrs: try to remove kubuntu-desktop first | 10:10 |
| lukas1321 | D[4]ni: Right now I'm running PartedMagic from HBCD. Can I flag my Ubuntu partition with "boot"? | 10:10 |
| eahr | glitsj16: hmm.. maybe it's that one called "hicolor" | 10:10 |
| heresjohnny | lukas1321: not needed | 10:10 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm | 10:10 |
| tanveer_ | i need help guys!! | 10:11 |
| tanveer_ | i cant get into win 7 after installing ubunut | 10:11 |
| Dr_Willis | i dident think grub used the boot flag at all | 10:11 |
| dizzylizzy | sounds like you need a grub timeout, tanveer_ ! | 10:11 |
| lukas1321 | heresjohnny: since "Windows" entry is already on my GRUB | 10:11 |
| tanveer_ | whats a grub timeout?! | 10:11 |
| Dr_Willis | tanveer_: so what does the system do exactly? | 10:11 |
| eahr | eahr: or not, i renamed the directory, but the black x-icon still appears magically :) | 10:11 |
| heresjohnny | tanveer_: i think you can hold left shift | 10:11 |
| heresjohnny | tanveer_: at boot to get a grub menu | 10:12 |
| tanveer_ | i prese enter on win 7 on grub it just goes back to grab | 10:12 |
| D[4]ni | dizzylizzy: doesn't grub have a default timeout of 10 secs? | 10:12 |
| kroonrs | D[4]ni: I need to keep the desktop until I have another one... | 10:12 |
| dizzylizzy | D[4]ni, that depends!!!! :D | 10:12 |
| eahr | glitsj16: or not, i renamed the directory, but the black x-icon still appears magically :) | 10:12 |
| tanveer_ | i have 10 seconds on grub but problem is i hit enter on win7 yet it goes back to grub | 10:12 |
| D[4]ni | kroonrs: ever tried ctrl+alt+f[1-6]? | 10:12 |
| dizzylizzy | ahh | 10:12 |
| tanveer_ | all my families stuff in win7 | 10:12 |
| D[4]ni | and ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to the gui | 10:12 |
| kroonrs | D[4]ni: yes, but I use applications on the desktop that I can't use on the console | 10:12 |
| tanveer_ | what should i do?? | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | tanveer_: i would suggest booting into linux, then doing a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and se eif any updates fix the grub entry for windows. since it seems to be in error. | 10:13 |
| D[4]ni | kroonrs: just for replacing the desktop | 10:13 |
| dizzylizzy | well at least you can always mount the windows partition from ubuntu | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | tanveer_: also see if you can access the windows drive from inside linux | 10:13 |
| kroonrs | D[4]ni: and if I remove kde and can't install gnome (or possibly reinstall KDE), I'm stuck without a desktop... | 10:13 |
| tanveer_ | i can access the 80gb file system in ubuntu il do the updates quikcly | 10:13 |
| heresjohnny | kroonrs: cleanest way would be to just backup home and etc and install ubuntu then manually copy the needed stuff over | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis | kroonrs: you could intall some 3rd desktop/window manager as a backup. :) or learn to use the console shell | 10:14 |
| D[4]ni | kroonrs: you should always be able to reinstall what you just uninstalled. | 10:14 |
| kroonrs | D[4]ni: I'll try it if I have no other option. In any case, can't do it now - need to get home | 10:14 |
| D[4]ni | kroonrs: installing ubuntu-desktop shouldn't be a problem either. | 10:14 |
| kroonrs | s/home/an appointment | 10:14 |
| tanveer_ | ok guys what after the update? | 10:14 |
| tanveer_ | what if I still cant boot into win 7? | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis | tanveer_: i would suggest booting into linux, then doing a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and se eif any updates fix the grub entry for windows. since it seems to be in error. | 10:14 |
| tanveer_ | dr willis i am in linux and im doing the updates in terminal | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | tanveer_: upgrade does the actual upgradeing of packages | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | so do both the commands mentioned | 10:15 |
| tanveer_ | ok i did update and im doing upgrade now | 10:15 |
| antarus | I'm curious about ubuntu-minimal | 10:15 |
| antarus | is it safe to remove? | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | tanveer_: its possible the grub entry is trying to boot the wrong windows parittio n | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | !info ubuntu-minimal | 10:16 |
| ubottu | ubuntu-minimal (source: ubuntu-meta): Minimal core of Ubuntu. In component main, is important. Version 1.267 (precise), package size 2 kB, installed size 57 kB | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | antarus: its a meta package. why are you removeing it? | 10:16 |
| tanveer_ | dr willis oh i see how would i change that? | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | tanveer_: one way.. as a test - edit the grub boot entries from the grub menu as a test.. other way make a custome entry for windows with the right info in /etc/grub.d/40_custom | 10:17 |
| D[4]ni | tanveer_: if the upgrade doesn't work, try 'update-grub' | 10:18 |
| antarus | Dr_Willis: I'm just curious how the OS dependencies are structured | 10:18 |
| Dr_Willis | windows can be installed weirdly by some companies | 10:18 |
| antarus | Dr_Willis: like ubuntu-minimal depends on eject, and I don't want eject, so I could possibly remove eject | 10:18 |
| antarus | but then some packages might break (because they expect eject) | 10:18 |
| antarus | but it seems like nothing depends on ubuntu-minimal | 10:18 |
| Dr_Willis | meta packages just pull in other packages.. | 10:19 |
| Dr_Willis | i belive | 10:19 |
| tanveer_ | upgrade is almost done | 10:19 |
| glitsj16 | eahr: looked around some more, but only bug reports, no clear fixes i'm afraid ... what i forgot, do you have the correct index.theme file also in ~/.icons/default ? | 10:19 |
| nyuszika7h | Metapackages have a collection of packages as dependencies, I think. | 10:19 |
| antarus | Dr_Willis: I'm curious if the dependencies of other packages are missing dependencies, because the dependencies are provided by ubuntu-minimal | 10:20 |
| antarus | like if i remove eject, will things break because they expect eject to be installed by ubuntu-minimal, or should they depend directly on eject? | 10:20 |
| eahr | glitsj16: hmm.. i don't seem to have .icons, i guess i could try creating it | 10:20 |
| Dr_Willis | meta packages are not depended on.. they are used to make it easier to install 'sets' of other packages | 10:20 |
| Dr_Willis | at least thats how i think its setup | 10:21 |
| glitsj16 | eahr: yes do, this seems to be a regular file, not a symlink as the one in /usr/share/icons/default | 10:22 |
| mi3 | HI! | 10:22 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl | 10:23 |
| eahr | glitsj16: i copied /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme to ~/.icons/default/index.theme , didn't seem to make a difference unfortunately :/ | 10:25 |
| glitsj16 | eahr: too bad, seems food fr a bug report | 10:28 |
| eahr | glitsj16: maybe, i guess this isn't all that important though, would have just been nice to have a prettier mouse cursor :) | 10:30 |
| glitsj16 | eahr: true :) | 10:31 |
| tanveer_ | dr willis it didnt work | 10:31 |
| tanveer_ | did all updates and all upgrades | 10:31 |
| tanveer_ | still couldnt boot into win7 | 10:31 |
| lizzin | my resolution and font size are set to what i am used to in osx(1920x1200 and 14pt.) but everthing still looks so big. what can i do? decreasing the font size degrades they way chars look | 10:32 |
| tanveer_ | who can fix my problem over teamviewer a remote desktop application?! | 10:33 |
| tanveer_ | im screwed if i cant boot into win 7 | 10:33 |
| === Robert_ is now known as Guest76433 | ||
| tanveer_ | nooooooo theirs no one here | 10:34 |
| MonkeyDust | tanveer_ grub issues? | 10:35 |
| tanveer_ | yes | 10:35 |
| tanveer_ | I cant boot into win7 | 10:35 |
| tanveer_ | I press enter on win7, but it just goes back to grub menu | 10:35 |
| g[r]eek | Hi fellas. I am using PHP to send emails using the mail() function. I'd like to figure out what mail() is calling. The PHP docs only refer to "the program configured to send emails on your server" <- how do I figure out more about this program? I'm on Ubuntu 11.04 | 10:35 |
| Likso | Hi. I'm using a live cd with ubuntu (11.10 64bit). I need to burn an iso with ubuntu 12.04 but my computer has just one dvd drive. Can I take out the live cd, burn the ISO of Ubuntu 12.04 without problems? | 10:35 |
| tanveer_ | no you cant likso | 10:36 |
| heresjohnny | tanveer_: could be grub or windows 7s bootloader got mssed p | 10:36 |
| tanveer_ | heresjohnny do you think you can fix it over teamviewer?? | 10:36 |
| tanveer_ | or anyone free? | 10:36 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Likso: if you have a usb drive, you could boot ubuntu off of that, then your cd burner would be free for burning | 10:36 |
| heresjohnny | tanveer_: theres a prog called easybsd that can repair it, but it might not even be that | 10:37 |
| tanveer_ | shall I re-explain the problem just to be sure | 10:37 |
| Likso | @DarwinSurvivor that's a good idea. I didnt' think about that. Thanks! :) | 10:37 |
| lizzin | my resolution and font size are set to what i am used to in osx(1920x1200 and 14pt.) but everthing still looks so big. what can i do? decreasing the font size degrades they way chars look | 10:38 |
| tanveer_ | change resolution? | 10:38 |
| heresjohnny | tanveer_: not a good idea on lcd | 10:38 |
| tanveer_ | oh | 10:38 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lizzin: is this in libreoffice, gedit, then entire system, just your user account...? | 10:39 |
| tanveer_ | DOes anyone know how to fix my problem?!? | 10:40 |
| Viking667 | Well, finally found what I wanted, cobbled together into a really long convoluted ffmpeg recording command. | 10:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !fixgrub | tanveer_ | 10:40 |
| ubottu | tanveer_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 10:40 |
| Viking667 | pulls in two audio streams, and a video stream... | 10:40 |
| tanveer_ | No no i didnt lose grub, I cant get to win7 from grub menu | 10:40 |
| Viking667 | I'm recording the video and the audio to two separate hard drives to increase the quality of encoding. And MAN the vidcap is good. | 10:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | tanveer_: look at thos instructions, it may also help you get windows working again | 10:41 |
| Viking667 | so, I'm a happy camper. Just requires me to tune ffmpeg. | 10:41 |
| MonkeyDust | tanveer_ and a grub-repair, or grub-update? | 10:41 |
| szal | tanveer_: indeed, 'sudo update-grub' might help for starters | 10:41 |
| heresjohnny | tanveer_: you need to restore windows boot with fixboot | 10:41 |
| olala22000 | yes1 | 10:42 |
| lizzin | DarwinSurvivor: well with firefox, only the menu buttons look overly big. same with evince and other apps. terminal chars are also big | 10:42 |
| heresjohnny | tanveer_: try booting with a windows 7 dvd if you have one and running fixboot it might sort it | 10:42 |
| lizzin | DarwinSurvivor: fwiw, it is a fresh install | 10:42 |
| szal | tanveer_: if that doesn't cut it, then download & burn a Super GRUB2 Disk, reinstall Windows bootloader w/ Windows install medium, then boot *buntu w/ Super GRUB2 Disk, & reinstall Grub | 10:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lizzin: did you set any custom video settings (dpi, etc)? | 10:42 |
| tanveer_ | thats quite alot to do szal il quikcly try sudo update-grub and see if dingoes anyth | 10:43 |
| lizzin | DarwinSurvivor: i dont recall doing so. played around with xrandr. thats it though | 10:43 |
| tanveer_ | does anything* | 10:43 |
| Viking667 | tanveer_: heh. I really did read that as "dingoes anything" | 10:43 |
| tanveer_ | lol | 10:43 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lizzin: do you have the same issues if you create a new user and login as them? | 10:43 |
| tanveer_ | windows 7 is SDA1 is their any way i can check this and make it default boot priority | 10:44 |
| lizzin | DarwinSurvivor: one sec | 10:45 |
| jerryzhou | hi | 10:45 |
| tanveer_ | brb going to re try to boot into win 7 | 10:46 |
| Anomie211 | Friend installed Ubuntu last night, he says once he gets past the home/login page all he can see is a white screen, just wondering if anyone has experienced this before? So I know what to look for | 10:46 |
| freedomrun | Anomie211, vga driver issue | 10:46 |
| olala22000 | < tanveer_> hi before look at here http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/boot-repair | 10:47 |
| Anomie211 | freedomrun: How would I resolve that? Since I can't see the screen to do anything lol | 10:47 |
| freedomrun | Anomie211, by booting in cli mode, or ctrl+alt+f1 at login screen, before you login | 10:48 |
| tanveer_ | ok sudo grubupdate didnt fix the problem I still cant boot into wni7 | 10:49 |
| tanveer_ | on grub menu I press enter on win 7 | 10:50 |
| sentriz | Ìû | 10:50 |
| tanveer_ | goes back to grub menu | 10:50 |
| tanveer_ | i have a wIN7 ultimate disc | 10:51 |
| ubuntu_ | i just deleted my logical drive by mistake and my data was lost............... then i tried to get the data back using TEST DISK but after the quick search it says that "files cannot be shown ,files have been damaged" .... Please help me to get my data back????????/ | 10:53 |
| master5o1 | Hi. | 10:53 |
| Anomie211 | freedomrun: Will other desktop enviroments work? Like Unity2D | 10:54 |
| freedomrun | ubuntu_, testdisk but 1st for file partition/system, then your files will be available | 10:54 |
| ubuntu_ | sorry i didn`t get u! | 10:55 |
| freedomrun | Anomie211, once you setup xorg properly they all are going to work | 10:55 |
| lizzin | DarwinSurvivor: even new users are bigger than what i am used to in osx | 10:56 |
| ubuntu_ | freedomrun_,, sorry i didn`t understand | 10:56 |
| freedomrun | ubuntu_, here is documentation and examples of usage: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk just keep in mind you are trying to recover partition not files | 10:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lizzin: can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing? | 10:57 |
| lizzin | DarwinSurvivor: working on it now | 10:57 |
| ubuntu_ | freedom_run,,, but i just need my data back | 10:57 |
| ubuntu_ | . | 10:57 |
| freedomrun | ubuntu_, well when you recover partition your disk will know where and how to search for your data :) | 10:59 |
| lizzin | DarwinSurvivor: what is a good site to post a screenshot? | 10:59 |
| ubuntu_ | ya i got that ...... but after quick search..... when i tried to get into the drive ,,, it says that files have been damaged | 11:00 |
| MonkeyDust | lizzin http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | 11:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !pastebin | lizzin | 11:00 |
| ubottu | lizzin: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 11:01 |
| freedomrun | ubuntu_, what filesystem was recovered and was it same before the problem | 11:02 |
| ubuntu_ | what i didn`t get you???// | 11:03 |
| lizzin | DarwinSurvivor: http://imagebin.org/216217 hopefully you can see the size diff. also notice the diff in the brightness. can the brightness on the ubuntu terminal(on left) be increased too? | 11:04 |
| freedomrun | ubuntu_, maybe it is better that you try to describe what you did with TestDisk instead of my guessing | 11:04 |
| ubuntu_ | ok!!!!!!!!!! | 11:05 |
| morsnowski | Anybody an idea where I can find libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_amd64.deb | 11:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lizzin: that looks normal to me. the terminal tends to have a fairly large font, I usually run mine with "monospace 10" | 11:06 |
| ubuntu_ | i just opened test disk and started the quick search as soon as i saw my hard disk ..........then after analysis it said that the files have been damaged | 11:06 |
| morsnowski | it's not on any ubuntu mirror | 11:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | morsnowski: why do you need it? | 11:06 |
| morsnowski | I have an old lexmark and their install script needs that one | 11:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | morsnowski: what install script? | 11:07 |
| lizzin | DarwinSurvivor: why would the same settings(font and resolution) be different sizes? | 11:07 |
| MonkeyDust | !find libstdc | morsnowski | 11:07 |
| ubottu | morsnowski: Found: libstdc++6, libstdc++6-4.4-dbg, libstdc++6-4.4-dev, libstdc++6-4.4-doc, libstdc++6-4.4-pic, libstdc++6-4.5-dbg, libstdc++6-4.5-dev, libstdc++6-4.5-doc, libstdc++6-4.6-dbg, libstdc++6-4.6-dev (and 24 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libstdc&searchon=names&suite=precise§ion=all | 11:07 |
| morsnowski | yes i know the current version but I do need the old one | 11:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | morsnowski: non-repository drivers and install scripts are very dangerous because it is very difficult to tell what they are doing to the filesystem since they *rarely* ever use the package managers. they aer also VERY difficult (or impossible) to remove | 11:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | morsnowski: have you checked the http://www.openprinting.org/printers database to see if the printer is supported? | 11:09 |
| morsnowski | DarwinSurvivor, I know but I'm not going to kick out a perfectly working printer | 11:09 |
| morsnowski | and I refuse to boot into windows | 11:09 |
| tanveer_ | Neeed help | 11:10 |
| tanveer_ | the windows file system is there | 11:11 |
| tanveer_ | but i cant boot into it still | 11:11 |
| tanveer_ | i have a windows cd | 11:11 |
| morsnowski | DarwinSurvivor, will do that again but as of three weeks ago there wasn't anything there either | 11:11 |
| tanveer_ | come on guys | 11:12 |
| freedomrun | ubuntulog, that could mean that your boot sector is damaged or cannot be read you can rebuild that with deeper scan but you should know what was your partition layout before problem | 11:13 |
| freedomrun | ubuntulog, partition table is written in bootsector | 11:14 |
| MonkeyDust | tanveer_ maybe ask in ##windows | 11:15 |
| lizzin | DarwinSurvivor: any idea why the same settings(font and resolution) would appear differently? | 11:15 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lizzin: who knows. fonts are *supposed* to be standard sizes, but anyone who has worked with layout software and document editors enough knows it simply doesn't happen | 11:16 |
| tanveer_ | this is a grub problem munkeydust | 11:16 |
| tanveer_ | i cant get into wnidows from grub | 11:16 |
| tanveer_ | i never had this problem before in kubuntu | 11:16 |
| nannes | tanveer_: Have you tried to reinstall grub on hda0 ? | 11:17 |
| tanveer_ | how do i do that | 11:17 |
| nannes | !grub | tanveer_ | 11:17 |
| ubottu | tanveer_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 11:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lizzin: one reason is that font points are defined by the PHYSICAL size (a "point" is a unit of measurement), so if the DPI settings for the display settings are different, the fonts will be different | 11:17 |
| tanveer_ | I did the grub updates | 11:17 |

| tanveer_ | i dont understand how the file system works on ubuntu | 11:18 |
| nannes | what? | 11:18 |
| freedomrun | ubuntu_ that could mean that your boot sector is damaged or cannot be read you can rebuild that with deeper scan but you should know what was your partition layout before problem | 11:18 |
| lizzin | DarwinSurvivor: oh ok, i look into the dpi settings | 11:18 |
| nannes | tanveer_: it's pretty simple | 11:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | morsnowski: hmm, unfortunately non-repo software is unsupported (this includes PPA's), so for help using them you will need to contact the author directly (Lexmark in your case) | 11:18 |
| tanveer_ | nannes with remote desktop connection | 11:18 |

| kulhas | hello, I use last ubuntu with unity and there is something that I dont like it, what annoys me most is that open app's and closed app's are all together… is there any solution to this ? (btw I am thinking to install another desktop manager, but first I would like to give unity a oportunity) | 11:24 |
| fidel | kulhas: could you try to rephrase your issue? | 11:24 |
| fidel | kulhas: looking for some kind of dock which only shows open apps or whats your target? | 11:25 |
| geff | ./irc.hackerzvoice.net 6667 | 11:25 |
| fidel | geff: without the . | 11:25 |
| fidel | and with connect or server instead most likely | 11:25 |
| fidel | or like that ;) | 11:26 |
| kulhas | In unity in the sidebar app menu it have the closed apps and open apps, so I need to scrool to switch from active app to active app. I don't want to scroll and would like to have my open apps grouped | 11:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | kulhas: well you can always move your most-used applications to the top of the bar (drag right, then up/down) | 11:28 |
| fidel | kulhas: i would just replace the unity-dock/sidebar with something else (like awn/docky/tint2 or similar) - but i dont use unity either | 11:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | kulhas: there is no shame in using another DE if you don't like Unity. KDE, gnome-shell and xfce are all quite popular | 11:29 |
| freedomrun | kulhas, try MyUnity | 11:29 |

| morsnowski | MonkeyDust, thanks | 11:46 |

| hanke | I have installed 12.04 on 2 computers already and everything is running smoothly. Now i wanted to install it on another laptop (Acer). Installation went fine, however after i enter my password nothing happens anymore. I can move the mouse but screen stays blank. I have reinstalled twice already but same behaviour. Anyone seen this kind of problem? | 11:49 |
| Cebor | DarwinSurvivor, i got a black screen, and i must kill my terminal | 11:49 |
| tanveer_ | it didnt work it went into sda1 I think | 11:50 |
| tanveer_ | so i just came back onto ubuntu | 11:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Cebor: oh. unless there is some debug info (or terminal output) you can capture, the best I'd be able to do is recommend filing a bug report. the compile error appears to be an issue with the source code, so you'll have to report *that* issue to the developers | 11:51 |
| Cebor | ok thanks | 11:52 |
| riegersn | Darwin4Ever, got disconnected. Yes I was to swap the default state of the FN key, so I can change volume and music without hitting it. | 11:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hanke: did you use the same install disk for all 3 machines? | 11:52 |
| hanke | @Darmin: yes | 11:52 |
| DarwinSurvivor | riegersn: so problem solved? | 11:52 |
| riegersn | Darwin4Ever, no. Did I miss your resolution maybe? | 11:52 |
| szal | Cebor: why do you _compile_ powertop in the 1st place? | 11:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hanke: you said "nothing happens" and "screen stays blank", did it go to a black screen when you logged in or something? | 11:53 |
| szal | !info powertop | 11:53 |
| ubottu | powertop (source: powertop): Linux tool to find out what is using power on a laptop. In component main, is extra. Version 1.97-2 (precise), package size 121 kB, installed size 372 kB | 11:53 |
| hanke | I get a login screen; i enter my password and press enter | 11:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | riegersn: you just said you were able to swap them, I thought that was what you wanted to do? if not, what do you still need to do? | 11:53 |
| hanke | then it looks like its dong something, but it will stay like that ... | 11:53 |
| hanke | only thing that i can move is the mouse pointer ... | 11:54 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hanke: so it's not blank, it's frozen? | 11:54 |
| Cebor | szal, sorry dont understand what u want... | 11:54 |
| hanke | not frozen... the mouse responds thats the most qurious part ... | 11:54 |
| szal | Cebor: you could as well install powertop from the above mentioned package, no need to build yourself | 11:54 |
| riegersn | Darwin4Ever, sorry about the confusion, I meant I WANT to swap the FN key. I'm here for help in figuring out how to do it ;p | 11:55 |

| lemarc | my touchpad hangs very frequently on ubuntu 11.10 | 11:56 |
| DarwinSurvivor | riegersn: the Fn key is not a normal modifier key (like shift, ctrl, alt, super), it is a HARDWARE modifier which means that the OS has absolutely no idea the button was ever hit. F8 and Fn+F8 appear as completely different keys to the operating system. some computers allow the key to be change in the BIOS, but other than that you will need to rebind each key individually (beware of hardware combos such as Fn+F8 disabling touch | 11:57 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hanke: did the livecd log in fine? | 11:58 |
| riegersn | Darwin4Ever, I see. Ok, thank youj | 11:58 |
| hanke | yes; no problem. Also when i enter 'rescue mode' i can start a shell and mount everything ... so the problem looks like related to some GUI program that does not start correctly ? | 11:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | hanke: can you boot the install media and select "check this disk for defects"? it could be that one of the drivers or something on the disk (which is only needed on the third machine) is corrupted | 12:01 |

| ubottu | petan: Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) release notes can be found here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/12.04 | 12:47 |
| jrib | petan: that has upgrade instructions too if you prefer | 12:47 |

| petan | ok | 12:47 |
| jrib | petan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_10.04_LTS_to_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS | 12:47 |
| fidel | kanyl: we cant answer you that question | 12:47 |
| fidel | kanyl: at the end you have to answer that yourself | 12:47 |
| jrib | petan: ubottu's first link seems to not tell you how to bypass the wait for 12.04.1 on desktop (that I can see) but this last link does | 12:48 |
| piet | i don't know whether my quastion was clear: the question was that i can not start to install ubuntu 12, it just restarts into the ubuntu onto the CD | 12:48 |
| petan | jrib: that's my problem I was doing the same what is descried there | 12:48 |
| piet | *question | 12:48 |
| petan | it doesn't work | 12:48 |
| jrib | petan: just click the last link | 12:49 |
| jrib | petan: that I put in this channel | 12:49 |
| pzn | I need a special "mail account" in which people access using imap, and mails are read-only (no way to move folder, no way to delete message, no way to mark as read)... any ideas? | 12:49 |
| petan | jrib: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades | 12:49 |
| sacarlson | kanyl: I wouldn't upgrade remote system unless I had a way to simulate exact system I can touch first | 12:49 |

| piet | so i start wubi, it goes to ubuntu onto the CD when restarts automatically, then it shows an ubuntu desktop, where there is the option install, i click it, it asks what i want (i choose dual install) and then restarts back to ubuntu, but on the CD, thus NOT the install | 12:50 |
| petan | jrib: I don't have desktop | 12:50 |
| piet | it's like a circle | 12:50 |
| jrib | petan: ok then read the section for servers | 12:50 |
| jrib | petan: if you actually take the time to read and understand what is written, it is all there | 12:51 |
| sacarlson | piet: you not looking at the wubi boot, you looking the live cd boot mode | 12:51 |
| piet | @sacarlson??? what do you mean? | 12:51 |
| === box is now known as Guest50956 | ||
| Tzem | how to play a file .dv4? | 12:52 |
| sacarlson | piet: you keep saying wubi, wubi is where you run a virtual like ubuntu within your windows partition | 12:52 |
| jrib | petan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuServer#From_10.04_to_12.04 here's the section in the notes if you prefer | 12:52 |

| somedude | ¡Hello! Do any of you use a time tracking software? which one? | 12:52 |
| jrib | petan: and? | 12:52 |
| petan | jrib: I am trying it | 12:52 |
| piet | ok, so i should change my bios then, in order to get on the CD? so, how do i enter my bios? | 12:53 |
| fidel | somedude: it might help if you mention what you want to track for. if i play dumb ...yes - using nagios which tracks time as well ;) | 12:53 |
| somedude | I've tried hamster time tracker but it has some limitations and I'm looking for an alternative | 12:53 |
| somedude | mi requirements are: | 12:53 |
| sacarlson | somedude: I track many things with time, what are you wanting to track? | 12:53 |
| petan | jrib: what is "It is generally recommended that users of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS wait until the first point release, due in July, before upgrading. " | 12:53 |
| petan | does it mean there is no stable version yet? | 12:53 |
| somedude | 1.- Start/Stop counters through command line (ssh) | 12:54 |
| somedude | 2.- Track concurrent activities | 12:54 |
| somedude | Hamster has number1 but not number2 | 12:54 |
| sacarlson | somedude: oh ok track exicution times | 12:54 |
| jrib | petan: no, it means that it's recommended you wait until a point release to upgrade to 12.04 | 12:54 |
| somedude | yeah, is for tracking any kind of time | 12:54 |
| somedude | the time you spend doing your everyday tasks and so | 12:54 |
| petan | aha, then I will upgrade later | 12:54 |
| jrib | petan: it's fine to upgrade now if that's what you want | 12:55 |

I have followed: http://linuxcritic.wordpress.com/2010/04/07/anatomy-of-a-desktop-file/ to create a xxx.desktop file that runs the script. When I copy it from one user to another to test it, it does not execute. The chmod is 755, when I do ls -ll, it shows owner is root root What should I check next? | 12:57 |

| subdesign | fidel: an update was erased some of my AddType setting, resetting it now works.. | 13:00 |
| bieb | jrib: should I just add to autostart and see if that works? | 13:01 |
| jrib | bieb: did it work with any user yet? | 13:01 |
| sacarlson | newcode: maybe something like: sacarlson ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL | 13:01 |
| newcode | right now I have %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL | 13:01 |
| bieb | jrib: I have only tried one regular user | 13:01 |
| newcode | sacarlson: I tried that but when I exited then I could no longer use sudo :( | 13:02 |
| bieb | jrib: figured it was something I missed in the setup | 13:02 |
| jrib | bieb: where did you put the file? | 13:02 |
| newcode | sacarlson: that's why I'm asking for the exact syntax, seems like the visudo file is a bit touchy | 13:02 |
| sacarlson | newcode: why not? what did you use to edit /etc/sudoer with? | 13:02 |
| bieb | I created it as the default user.. then sudo cp /home/user/Desktop for testing | 13:03 |

| rick1121 | Hello. I'm trying to install the broadcom-sta driver module, but it doesn't come with dkms in precise. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Note that bcmwl-kernel-source provides an earlier version of this driver (and it's not what I want). https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/broadcom-sta | 13:03 |
| sacarlson | newcode: the visudo is what's used to edit /etc/sudoers | 13:04 |
| newcode | sacarlson: ok :) | 13:04 |
| newcode | sacarlson: I just typed sudo visudo then | 13:04 |

| newcode | %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL | 13:05 |
| newcode | sacarlson: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL | 13:05 |
| sacarlson | newcode: yes that should get you into the sudoers editor | 13:05 |
| sacarlson | newcode: that won't add nopassword | 13:06 |
| newcode | sacarlson: what I showed you is what I currently have | 13:06 |
| jrib | bieb: that command would error out... | 13:06 |
| sacarlson | newcode: yes before you add to a group try it on a single user first | 13:06 |
| bieb | jrib: why? | 13:06 |
| jrib | bieb: because cp expects at least 2 arguments | 13:07 |
| newcode | sacarlson: how so? | 13:07 |
| g[r]eek | Hi how do I determine which email server is running on my server? | 13:07 |
| sacarlson | newcode: did you read my above? newcode ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL | 13:07 |
| bieb | jrib: cp worked.. I just didnt put whole command here.. | 13:07 |
| llutz | g[r]eek: sudo lsof -i :25 | 13:07 |
| jrib | bieb: then I still don't know where you put the file... | 13:07 |
| gry | After upgrade to 11.10, system says 'waiting for network configuration' 'waiting 60 more seconds for network configuration' 'booting without full network configuration' then boots normally; commenting all lines in /etc/network/interfaces (http://pastebin.ca/2160842) is a workaround; what is the real problem and how can it be fixed please? | 13:08 |
| jrib | bieb: the per-user directory for autostart is ~/.config/autostart/ . If you want, you can just use the gui tool to create a startup program and it will create a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart/ for you | 13:08 |
| g[r]eek | llutz++ | 13:08 |
| g[r]eek | thanks | 13:08 |
| sacarlson | newcode: change newcode to your user name for passwordless account | 13:08 |
| newcode | sacarlson: cool, done! | 13:08 |
| softmanpetro | how can I find the upTime of the server to last reboot ? | 13:08 |
| softmanpetro | i already did the reboot | 13:08 |
| newcode | sacarlson: I guess I should test this | 13:08 |
| jrib | softmanpetro: uptime | 13:08 |
| bieb | jrib: ok.. let me try that | 13:09 |
| sacarlson | newcode: yes now login to that acount and try sudo ls | 13:09 |
| newcode | ok | 13:09 |
| softmanpetro | it said 58 minutes jrdnn | 13:10 |
| softmanpetro | it said 58 minutes jrib | 13:10 |
| newcode | sacarlson: it seems like it worked | 13:10 |
| softmanpetro | and I need last uptime no the current one | 13:10 |
| newcode | sacarlson: so now I just do the same for the group admin, same syntax? | 13:10 |
| rick1121 | Would anyone be able to give a pointer with adding a kernel module that does not have dkms packaged? | 13:10 |
| sacarlson | newcode: yes for group you add % in front of the group name | 13:11 |
| newcode | sacarlson: thanks so much :) that really helped | 13:11 |
| sacarlson | newcode: don't blame me if you get hacked | 13:11 |
| newcode | sacarlson: lol | 13:12 |
| jrib | softmanpetro: maybe the « last » command and some math then | 13:12 |
| bieb | jrib: the .desktop is named pc-client-linux.sh.desktop | 13:12 |

| ptu | ikonia: a screen with logo ubuntu | 13:37 |
| gry | ikonia: oh, I won't want to remove the backend I guess - and the applet doesn't really have n900 so removng n900 from nm control doesn't really sound doable I'm afraid :) | 13:37 |

| mi3 | NoVoteLoss, ok, did it give you high cpu usage ? | 13:41 |

| gry | ikonia: feel free to stab me for upgrading ubuntu so it broke :) I should have installed it fresh when it had major releases as per the guides but I just upgraded anyway ;) | 13:41 |
| NoVoteLoss | mi3 not at all! other than watching like a youtube video or other streaming, general usage and browsing never brought CPU usage over 15-20% total | 13:41 |
| ikonia | gry: can we do a little test ? | 13:42 |
| gry | i could try | 13:42 |
| mi3 | NoVoteLoss, sounds cool, sir ! | 13:42 |
| Applesouce | Isnt home placed on root anyway so it would be the same on the end | 13:42 |
| ikonia | gry: change the line "managed=false" to "managed=true" put your details back in the interfaces file and bounce the box | 13:42 |
| ikonia | gry: if I'm correct it should boot without waiting | 13:42 |
| gry | ikonia: ok thanks, I will give that a try within 24 hours and give you a shout :) | 13:43 |

| mi3 | NoVoteLoss, ok, I told you :D, so now ? | 13:51 |
| Dr_Willis | fep full install should be faster then wubi | 13:51 |
| ikonia | fep: my personal view is yes, I don't believe in the concept of wubi personally, the official answer may differ | 13:52 |
| judgen | fep, it will have better access time as it does not have to run through the by now very old NTFS filesystem of windows. | 13:52 |
| chintanparikh | adamk: http://pastebin.com/BzaVEdpv | 13:52 |

I reinstalled again (now with a 10Gb partition in front like my original 10.04 had) The 10.04 was working flawlessly and i could imagine a harddisk problem somewhere, but this also did NOT solve the problem.

| myhero | how to save the apps installed through software center ? | 14:10 |
| nelson8874 | having problems wit P8Z68-V LX motherboard. Am i the only one? | 14:10 |
| Meridious | Dj_Flyby: I bet it is because the OS did not shut down properly | 14:11 |
| ikonia | what do you mean save them ? | 14:11 |
| Dr_Willis | !clone | myhero | 14:11 |
| ubottu | myhero: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate | 14:11 |
| Meridious | Dj_Flyby: try booting into recovery mode | 14:11 |
| Meridious | Dj_Flyby: through grub | 14:11 |
| sacarlson | Dj_FlyBy: It could be running the fsck to test your drives after a bad shutdown it might take some time depending on size of disk | 14:11 |
| sacarlson | Dj_FlyBy: oh but that should be displayed | 14:12 |
| myhero | ikonia: means i run live 12.04 from usb so when i boot everything installed is gone so i want to save whatever i install so that next time i can install them manually so as saving time and more importantly the limited bandwidth.... | 14:12 |
| freedomrun | is it possible to publish an folder in Obuntu One? | 14:12 |
| Dj_FlyBy | Meridious, how does one get to that grub menu? | 14:13 |
| ikonia | myhero: I don't really recommend that option, you need to download the debs and all their dependencies to do that, and it's just not worth it, just use a proper install or look at a persistant install | 14:13 |
| myhero | ikonia: what do u mean by proper and persistant ? | 14:14 |
| Meridious | Dj_Flyby: It should always pop up after your computer displays its BIOS stuff | 14:14 |
| kael_ | hi | 14:14 |
| Dj_FlyBy | Meridious, nope... it just goes to the screen to load Ubuntu... never seen grub once | 14:14 |
| ikonia | myhero: proper = install to disk | 14:15 |
| Meridious | Dj_Flyby: if not, press the key to select a boot device at boot, and select your drive with the ubuntu install | 14:15 |
| ikonia | myhero: persistant = live CD with persistant disk based storage | 14:15 |
| myhero | ikonia | 14:15 |
| Meridious | Dj_Flyby: this might force it to display | 14:15 |
| myhero | ikonia: plz throw some light on persistant | 14:15 |
| Meridious | Dj_Flyby: not entirely sure here | 14:15 |
| Dj_FlyBy | Meridious, nope, just went to the little dots to load the os | 14:15 |

| Meridious | Dj_Flyby: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm | 14:16 |
| myhero | ikonia: also what i usually do is whenever i install any app from software center then its debs get downloaded to /var/cache/apt/archives so i copy these debs to other usb and then next time when i boot live i install these copied debs sudo dpkg -E -G -i <directory>/*.deb | 14:18 |
| sacarlson | Dj_FlyBy: might try hold the shift key at boot to get to the grub menu and try select the rescue mode as an option if it fails to boot | 14:18 |

| Sietsem | LiveCD | 14:42 |
| niuxiaowang | maybe you can try to type order rfkill list all | 14:43 |

| wrapids | For some reason I seem to be having problems saving files. Initially I was using Eclipse with the RSE plugin to browse and load files over SSH. Everything was working for a few days then suddenly some files stopped being updated at the remote site. Not all of them. Some of the files that are no longer being updated were created with my account, some of them are older and came with the original system. I switched over to Subclipse (Eclipse Subversion plugin) | 15:11 |
| wrapids | and had the same problem. It would make the changes locally and save it in the cached version,but still no update at the remote site. I scrapped Eclipse thinking that it was an Eclipse issue but now I'm having the same problem with RapidSVN. | 15:11 |

| italoxp | Ubuntu install grub during the setup automatically | 16:52 |

| rickrock | theadmin : ok i will try that | 17:06 |
| B0g4r7 | n-ice, sounds like youre missing some pieces yet. You'll need to turn on IP forwarding, and put the appropriate NAT rule into iptables. | 17:06 |
| theadmin | rickrock: i.e. after the BIOS POST. | 17:06 |
| xGrub11 | is there a default procedure to install tarball? | 17:06 |
| n-iCe | B0g4r7: I think the same, but don't know what to do | 17:06 |
| n-iCe | demoklion: how can I test? sorry | 17:06 |
| theadmin | xGrub11: Nope. | 17:06 |
| demoklion | n-iCe try ping www.google.com | 17:06 |
| demoklion | in terminal | 17:06 |
| B0g4r7 | n-iCe, Forwarding is easy. 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward' | 17:07 |
| n-iCe | demoklion: with the device? or the host? | 17:07 |
| n-iCe | B0g4r7: sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward permission denied | 17:07 |
| mneptok | xGrub11: "tarball" is the same thing as "zip file." | 17:07 |
| demoklion | on host it should work if you are online | 17:07 |
| B0g4r7 | Huh, that's odd... | 17:07 |
| n-iCe | demoklion: I am right now in the host, I have internet or IRC would not work :) | 17:07 |
| demoklion | it just checks the basic internet connnection | 17:07 |
| xGrub11 | theaddmin: well, so, .... do you have some advice for me if i met a tarball? i'm confuse... thanks before | 17:07 |
| demoklion | yes so try it on the device | 17:08 |
| B0g4r7 | n-iCe, As for the nat rule, it'd be something like 'iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 ij MASQUERADE' | 17:08 |
| theadmin | xGrub11: Sometimes there's a README file inside. Sometimes instructions are on the site where you acquire it... But most of the time, you should be using the repositories (through Synaptic, Ubuntu Software Center, or apt-get). | 17:08 |
| DeltaHeavy | xGrub11: Think of it as a .zip, however uncompressed. .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 are examples of things more similar to .zip as they're compressed. | 17:08 |
| B0g4r7 | Assuming your private network is 192.168.1.x | 17:08 |
| demoklion | if it says no connection, try ping your host's ip | 17:08 |
| B0g4r7 | -j MASQUERADE, not ij. typo. | 17:08 |
| n-iCe | B0g4r7: Bad argument `ij' | 17:08 |
| n-iCe | ok | 17:08 |
| n-iCe | B0g4r7: now? | 17:09 |
| B0g4r7 | sure | 17:09 |
| n-iCe | the ip is 10.42.0.85 | 17:09 |
| n-iCe | is what my iphone gets | 17:09 |
| demoklion | anyone has suggestion how do I edit default user in live USB with persistence? I want some basic security | 17:09 |
| B0g4r7 | mm, well you might wanna apply it to 10.0.0.0/8 then instead of 192.168.1.0/24 | 17:10 |
| xGrub11 | theadmin; DeltaHeavy; thanks. :) | 17:10 |
| theadmin | demoklion: The default username is "ubuntu", so simply run "sudo passwd ubuntu" and that'll let you set the password | 17:10 |

| __victor | yes | 17:12 |
| B0g4r7 | And you want to recover somehow without rebooting the VM. Could be tough. | 17:13 |
| __victor | ok I reboot. | 17:13 |
| __victor | :S | 17:13 |
| B0g4r7 | Unless you can find an existing open session. | 17:13 |
| B0g4r7 | ssh session | 17:13 |
| demoklion | I have similar problem, but reboot didn't help | 17:13 |
| __victor | no... | 17:13 |
| B0g4r7 | For physical hosts, I'm fond of using the serial ports with a terminal server for access in case the IP network falls over. | 17:15 |
| B0g4r7 | I suppose something similar could be done with VMs. | 17:15 |

| ruediger | for some reason I had format set to 3.0 (native) and I guess it should be 3.0 (quilt) | 17:41 |

| trism | ruediger: good catch, I completely missed that | 17:45 |
| ruediger | trism: ok now it doesn't ignore the orig file but I get warnings like "dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file CMakeLists.txt" (for every file in the package) and it still doesn't contain the source | 17:46 |

| blackbit | rob, are you looking for a temporary or a permanent solution to see init messages? | 18:14 |
| rob_ | blackbit: permenant | 18:14 |

| blackbit | rob: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1997199 | 18:16 |
| blackbit | rob: basically, you remove 'quiet splash' from the grub menu entry of ubuntu, and then do sudo update-grub | 18:16 |
| ruediger | trism: dh_make just generates the debian/ directory and the required files? | 18:16 |
| rob_ | blackbit: ok cool but where is the grub menu file? dont you have to use /etc/default/grub or something? | 18:16 |
| === CakeBos is now known as cakehero | ||

| blackbit | rob: let me check | 18:17 |
| trism | ruediger: yes, it will ask you a few questions about the package and generate the files you need (plus extras you can safely delete) | 18:18 |
| blackbit | rob: menu should be in /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 18:18 |
| ruediger | trism: well I shouldn't need that. I have a build script that generates most of the debian directory and git dch generates the changelog from git log. | 18:19 |
| rob_ | blackbit: i think that file is generated from /etc/default/grub | 18:20 |
| ruediger | trism: but just to understand it right. If I call debuild -b it should unpack the orig directory and then call debian/rules with target build? | 18:20 |
| rob_ | blackbit: i see all the kernel messages but i dont see any of the init messages, it's quite annoying... | 18:21 |
| trism | ruediger: usually you unpack the source and then use debuild from the source directory | 18:21 |

| benjameno | hey i have a problem. i was using kubuntu, but i decided to reformat my hard drive and install ubuntu on it. the problem is i'm getting an I/O error when i try to install and it's impossible for me to boot my computer now without the CD | 18:22 |
| blackbit | rob: open /etc/default/grub and search for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash". try modifyng that line in RUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" , then sudo update-grub | 18:22 |
| rob_ | blackbit: have edited that file but those parameters didnt exist there, that's where i added noquiet, nosplash and debug and then if i run grub-update i can see the changes reflected in /boot/grub/grub.conf | 18:23 |
| benjameno | it says something about how there might be something wrong with the cd but right now i have no means of burning a new cd because my only CD burner is occupied by the ubuntu installation disk | 18:23 |

| Snyp | Why does my ATI gpu fan rotate at such a high speed when i'm on ubuntu? Is there a way to fix this? | 18:24 |

| blackbit | rob: so, did you try to do update-grub without results already? | 18:25 |
| jondoe2 | Snyp, got the latest driver? | 18:25 |
| benjameno | i don't think something's wrong with the cd because i run ubuntu in test mode fine with it | 18:25 |
| Snyp | Yea.. the proprietary one that was shown in the update list. | 18:25 |
| Snyp | fglx or something like that | 18:25 |
| rob_ | blackbit: correct | 18:25 |
| ruediger | trism: but then how does it work on launchpad? Do I have to unpack the orig file prior to creating the source package to have it included? | 18:26 |
| trism | ruediger: for launchpad you would dput the changes file, which will upload the dsc/tar files and then launchpad will unpack and build it (eventually) | 18:27 |
| Snyp | Any idea how I can manually change the fan speed. Its always at a constant high speed even though there are no graphics heavy program running. | 18:28 |
| trism | ruediger: I think launchpad uses sbuild? which is similar to pbuilder | 18:29 |

| theadmin | Damned: It doesn't "need" to be blank, it will be wiped likely though | 20:10 |
| theadmin | Damned: If you are copying to a drive itself, obviously. If you're copying to a file, it will be fine | 20:10 |
| Damned | I have to create a 900GN image :/ since the usb drive has crashed | 20:11 |
| Damned | allright, could just as well format the 2TB disk before I start then | 20:11 |
| Damned | theadmin: just re-read your reply. So I should be fine with copying it to a gigantic 1TB image then? | 20:12 |
| theadmin | Damned: Sure, why not | 20:13 |
| theadmin | Any chance of ghc getting updated to 7.4.2 in Precise? 7.4.1 has some bugs which make xmonad go crazy | 20:13 |
| Damned | lol, ill give it a shot, even if i can rescue data, I might be more afraid of opening that image later on... | 20:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Damned: it will make a 1Gb ISO file on the 2Gb partition | 20:13 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: ISO is not a valid term, that relates to CD images, but yeah that's the point | 20:14 |
| Galvatron | theadmin: There are always PPAs | 20:14 |
| theadmin | Galvatron: Hm, true enough | 20:14 |
| joel135 | Damned: just make sure your filesystem can handle the gigantic file. for ext3, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3#Size_limits | 20:14 |
| lesshaste | when I click on a pdf I just get a black blank page.. how can I work around this? | 20:14 |
| lesshaste | this is in firefox | 20:14 |
| Damned | why would it create a 1GB ISO when I save it as a .img, and the disk itself is 1TB big? | 20:14 |
| hash | meridious: thats just my home directory the folder is on an external which is also accessible thru the media folder in my Hdd which is the same external | 20:14 |
| Damned | Its NTFS as file system. Im running win 7 but gonna run the ubunto live rescue disk in an attempt to try save data from the usb | 20:15 |
| === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris | ||
| joel135 | lesshaste: does firefox display the pdf or does it launch another application to do that? | 20:16 |
| Damned | In my google adventures ddrescue seems like my best bet (usb disk cant be explores, it just freezes). Unless you have a better idea for me? | 20:17 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: not strictly CD images | 20:17 |
| lesshaste | joel135, firefox tries to display it | 20:17 |
| Etale | Hi fellas. Okay, so every time I restart I'm stuck on the splash screen with the logo. | 20:17 |
| Etale | Googling doesn't seem to bring about an answer to my problems. | 20:17 |
| Etale | Do you have any idea what I should do? | 20:17 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: its just a data stream | 20:17 |
| Shojo | suna bine andres | 20:17 |
| Shojo | scoate cifrele doar enetual | 20:17 |
| joel135 | lesshaste: I'd set firefox to open the file in evince (the default pdf viewer) | 20:17 |
| Shojo | Etale: about what? | 20:17 |
| theadmin | Damned: There's Photorec, which is a nice way to recover files from *any* filesystem as such, but idk if it will really work for you, might be best to not load the drive much | 20:18 |
| lesshaste | joel135, I think I need to manually delete the plugin to do that | 20:18 |
| Etale | Shojo, so that when I restart it wouldn't be stuck on the splash screen, and it will actually restart. | 20:18 |
| Edwardf414 | Just received a MacBook pro 2010 anyone has installed 11.04 smooth install or to Manny problems to even bother | 20:18 |

| theadmin | Etale: Add "reboot=bios" to the kernel line | 20:18 |
| Shojo | omg i'm so off, sorry i just quit smoking i'm a mess i didn't mean to type in this chan :9 | 20:19 |
| Etale | theadmin, where at? I don't know where to add that line. | 20:19 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest35343 | ||
| Etale | theadmin, do you mean in /etc/default/grub? | 20:19 |
| theadmin | Etale: Type "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub" in a terminal. Next, find the line which says something like GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="foo bar baz", change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="foo bar baz reboot=bios" | 20:19 |
| theadmin | Etale: Save the file, run "sync", then reboot in any way possible, and it should be working fine, more or less | 20:20 |
| Damned | theadmin: I will try ddrescue, and give photorec a looksie. As Ive understood it I need to create an imagae ASAP and do recovery attempts from that image instead of the actual drive (as you said, becuase I dont want to overload the faulting disk) | 20:20 |
| glosoli | Is there any way to permamently change Unity Launcher color ? that stupid behaviorus of auto chaning it according to background makes it look like crap | 20:21 |
| Etale | Okay, I'll try. theadmin, what does adding it actually do? | 20:21 |
| Damned | thanks for the advise | 20:21 |
| theadmin | Etale: Makes the kernel ask BIOS for reboot/shutdown instead of using the built-in power management features. | 20:21 |
| ActionParsnip | glosoli: anything in myunity? | 20:21 |
| Etale | Okay. I'll leave now to reboot. | 20:21 |

| Galvatron | Edwardf414: Best stick to OSX. It will offer you a similar functionality, ans a much better battery life. Believe, as of now it is a superior system. If you want Ubuntu, try 11.10 or 12.04, as "Natty" is a bit old and out of support already (it ended up with 12.04). | 20:23 |
| hash | http://pastebin.com/UBwU64vY | 20:23 |
| B0g4r7 | I fear for the future of OS X. | 20:24 |
| Dacs | ActionParsnip, i am on linux 3.2.0-24-generic-pae now | 20:24 |
| B0g4r7 | Even at WWDC 2008, the OS X sessions were dead. Everyone was at the iOS sessions. | 20:24 |
| ratcheer | Edwardf414: OSX is BDS Unix under the hood. You can use it like Linux, if you want. | 20:24 |
| Dacs | !unmet | 20:25 |
| mike__ | running "lshw -xml -C network > out.xml" does not generate a valid xml file if more than 1 network adapter (no root tag) in 12.04 | 20:25 |
| theadmin | ratcheer: That's stretching it a bit. Yes, OS X is based on BSD, but it doesn't mean you can use it *like* Linux, there are too many major differences. | 20:25 |
| B0g4r7 | Edwardf414, if you want to play with linux, you might consider installing it inside a VM. | 20:25 |
| Galvatron | ratcheer: But you are likely to break it, if you overdo things. | 20:25 |
| Duka | anyone have solution for this error, dpkg -i *.deb http://pastebin.com/yVqujjD5 | 20:26 |
| Etale | theadmin, it's still doing it. | 20:26 |
| Edwardf414 | Thanks guys | 20:26 |
| theadmin | Etale: Bah, forgot to tell you, you gotta run "sudo update-grub" after editing the file | 20:26 |
| Galvatron | ratcheer: Installing the Linux desktop enviroments is theoretically possible, but definitely not recoomended (and makes little to no sense). | 20:26 |
| Etale | theadmin, the relevant line is: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash reboot=bios" | 20:27 |
| ratcheer | Galvatron: I guess it depends on what you do. I like to ssh to my Ubuntu box from out on my deck with my son's Macbook Pro. | 20:27 |
| Etale | theadmin, I did run sudo update-grub. | 20:27 |
| theadmin | Etale: Hm, okay, well, you can try changing it to "reboot=force" but I'm not sure how helpful that will be. | 20:27 |
| Dacs | , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | 20:27 |
| B0g4r7 | Duka, I encountered the same problem when trying to install a self-compiled 3.4.2 kernel. I did not solve it. | 20:28 |
| Etale | Let's try! What does that do now, theadmin? | 20:28 |
| theadmin | Etale: Some magic... lol, I honestly have no idea, I just got that one off some article on the web | 20:28 |
| Relondo | Sometimes, Ubuntu does not recognize my keyboard or mouse on startup. Rebooting, usually once, but no more than twice, always fixes it. The mouse and keyboard are never not recognized at the same time; only spearately. Hlep? | 20:29 |
| Relondo | *Help | 20:29 |
| Etale | Okay, here we go again. | 20:29 |
| theadmin | Etale: Well, as you would've probably guessed, rebooting *once* won't solve it, you have to boot with the new parameters first and *then* the reboot should work | 20:29 |

| lysdexia | Is there a way to configure individual unity launcher icons to allow more than one instance of a program to be started? I really need more than one instance of xterm and gvim at a time. | 20:33 |
| Etale | Chuck_Norris, my issue is that ubuntu is stuck on the splash screen when I restart. | 20:34 |
| Etale | Duka, I don't know. How do I check? | 20:34 |
| theadmin | lysdexia: Do you? gvim has :sp, :tabnew, and such. For xterm you can use tmux or screen. :P | 20:34 |
| ratcheer | lysdexia: Just right click it on the launcher and select "Open new window" | 20:34 |
| Jordan_U | Etale: I assume that you mean that it's stuck on the splash screen before powering down rather than after starting up again? | 20:34 |
| theadmin | lysdexia: That's not really an answer though but | 20:34 |
| hash | this is from a drag'd and drop'd folder http://pastebin.com/UBwU64vY | 20:34 |
| Etale | Jordan_U, you are right. Only on shut down. Never on start up. | 20:34 |
| Etale | Start up is fine. | 20:35 |
| Jordan_U | Etale: Does shutting down (not rebooting) work as expected? | 20:35 |
| Etale | Jordan_U, I haven't tried. | 20:35 |
| Jordan_U | Etale: Please do, and report back. | 20:35 |

| ActionParsnip | eightiesk: what happens when you boot? | 20:54 |
| adamk | gandhijee: Looks like from the screenshot that you checked the output of 'glxinfo' and it didn't have direct rendering. What's the full output of 'LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo' ? | 20:55 |
| Etale | http://pastebin.com/bgixN9hP, Chuck_Norris | 20:55 |
| mneptok | Etale: did this work at one point and broke? | 20:55 |
| Etale | mneptok, yes. | 20:56 |
| Etale | I'm thinking that maybe it's because I'm over-using apt-get autoremove, and I accidentally removed some important thing... | 20:56 |
| mneptok | Etale: have you tried booting a previous kernel? | 20:57 |
| Etale | mneptok, I don't know how to do that. | 20:57 |
| Zally666 | Hi | 20:57 |
| gandhijee | adamk: umm did you not notice the whole thing is upside down? | 20:57 |
| mneptok | Etale: hold <shift> at boot | 20:57 |
| === faz is now known as Evita | ||
| Etale | mneptok, on the splash screen? | 20:57 |
| adamk | gandhijee: Yes. | 20:58 |
| mneptok | Etale: you will see a menu of previous kernels. | 20:58 |
| mneptok | Etale: before the splash screen. | 20:58 |
| === Evita is now known as faz | ||
| Etale | Wait, on start up or on shut down? | 20:58 |
| adamk | gandhijee: Again, pastebin the whole output of 'LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo' | 20:58 |
| Etale | On start up, then. | 20:58 |
| mneptok | Etale: start up | 20:58 |
| gandhijee | adamk: thats easier said that done | 20:58 |
| Etale | I'll give it a shot, I guess. | 20:58 |
| Etale | Okay. Here we go. | 20:58 |
| mneptok | Etale: you boot the system using a previous kernel, which does not work so well when shutting down ;) | 20:58 |
| sebas_ | can any one help me to figure why the shutdown windows is poping up over and over again? | 20:58 |
| gandhijee | i can't get that info because of the upside down terminal | 20:58 |
| DeltaHeavy | My Ubuntu installation is starting to every so often mess up all theme colours making things appear very oddly. It's also now for some reason taking me ~30 seconds to open up Chrome after a fresh boot and login. Are there any solutions for this problem? | 20:59 |
| adamk | gandhijee: I don't see why it would be that difficult. You can certainly type the command, and then copy and select the text. | 20:59 |
| DeltaHeavy | sebas_: It sounds like you're most likley experiancing a hardware error. Maybe a sticky button or something else. | 21:00 |

| Zally666 | How the heck do i fix a tuner in ubuntu? | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Zally666: fix in what way? | 21:01 |
| Zally666 | Modprobe fix | 21:02 |
| adamk | gandhijee: I have to run out for a bit. I'd willing to bet your drivers are not installed properly, based on the little bit of the glxinfo I saw. Probably, you still have remnants of fglrx installed. | 21:02 |
| ki4ro_ | ¨Store music lens for unity¨ is stuck in my update manager...any suggestions? | 21:02 |
| Chuck_Norris | ki4ro_: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:03 |
| zykotick9 | ki4ro_: from terminal try "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 21:03 |
| ki4ro_ | Chuck_Norris: I ll give it a try..thanks | 21:03 |
| gandhijee | adamk: ok | 21:03 |
| sebas_ | DeltaHeavy: If i boot with a windows 7 partition i dont have the shutdown problem, so i'm not sure about the sticky button theory | 21:03 |
| Chuck_Norris | np | 21:03 |
| gandhijee | i am going to try to flush it out again | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Zally666: can you state the issue fully please | 21:04 |
| DeltaHeavy | sebas_: Yeah that sounds like a software issue then for sure. idk then. Sorry :( Might be a hardware/software compatability issue | 21:05 |
| Zally666 | Well i added a init modprobe device in init.d | 21:05 |
| Jordan_U | Etale: You don't shut down all important programs with SYSRQ magic, you shut down all important programs (where in this context "important" is defined by you, like if you're writing your doctoral thesis in LibreOffice you probably want to close that before force shutting down the computer). The SYSRQ combination will tell the kernel to reboot directly (without doing a full normal nice shutdown from userspace first). | 21:06 |
| Zally666 | Now tuner only when i scan | 21:06 |
| ubuntu_64bit | Jordan_U, what da problem is | 21:07 |
| Etale | mneptok, holding down shift didn't do nothin'. | 21:07 |
| Zally666 | Action can uhelp me in the weekend | 21:07 |
| ki4ro_ | Chuck_Norris: It stayed in update manager and the terminal says the following packages hve been kept back unity-scope-musicstores | 21:07 |
| Jordan_U | Etale: You don't shut down all important programs with SYSRQ magic, you shut down all important programs (where in this context "important" is defined by you, like if you're writing your doctoral thesis in LibreOffice you probably want to close that before force shutting down the computer). The SYSRQ combination will tell the kernel to reboot directly (without doing a full normal nice shutdown from userspace first). | 21:07 |

| Jordan_U | !sysrq | Etale | 21:08 |
| ubottu | Etale: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 21:08 |
| Zally666 | Cuz im internated during the week | 21:08 |
| Etale | Oh! | 21:08 |
| Chuck_Norris | ki4ro_: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade should install update everything even unity-scope-musicstore | 21:08 |
| Etale | Before I thought that ubottu was someone else giving me a different advice! | 21:08 |
| Etale | Okay. | 21:08 |

| ActionParsnip | Etale: or ALT+K+PrintScreen | 21:09 |
| Zally666 | Bye | 21:09 |
| Chuck_Norris | ki4ro_: but, the only thing that "unity-scope-musicstore" does is, shows you info about musics cds that might wanna to buy | 21:10 |
| ki4ro_ | Chuck_Norris: So really nothing to be concerned with? | 21:10 |
| Chuck_Norris | ki4ro_: if you don't buy music so, is not need it for you, you can, update it or remove it | 21:10 |

| Dacs | i have installed 7zip compression/uncompression tool but i cant find it any where :) | 21:12 |
| ki4ro_ | Chuck_Norris: Gone! Many thanks! | 21:12 |
| Chuck_Norris | np | 21:12 |
| arfbtwn | Dacs, it's integrated into your desktop. File roller will use it instead of the other implementations I think-and therefore so will the compress submenu of nautyluss | 21:13 |
| sk8| | how's it going | 21:13 |
| gandhijee | got it! | 21:13 |
| gandhijee | it was the xorg ati drivers mucking it all up | 21:14 |
| Jordan_U | Etale: Now you know that you're probably looking at a problem with upstart or an upstart script hanging at shutdown. I can't really think of what to try next, but hopefully that can point you somewhere useful. | 21:14 |
| Dacs | arfbtwn, didn't understand what you mean | 21:14 |
| === crackwhore is now known as Frumplawl | ||
| arfbtwn | Dacs, select a group of files in nautilus and right click-there'll be an option for "Compress..." which uses file-roller and your 7zip installation | 21:15 |
| Etale | Jordan_U, is "upstart" a formal term? | 21:15 |
| Etale | What does that mean "upstart script hanging at shutdown"? | 21:16 |
| Dacs | arfbtwn, but i want to uncompress a .bin file | 21:16 |
| Jordan_U | Etale: Upstart is what handles startup, shutdown (among other things): http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 21:18 |
| Etale | Is there some way to reinstall it, Jordan_U? | 21:18 |
| Jordan_U | Etale: You might try asking in #upstart. | 21:19 |
| Socracheese | just installed ubuntu 12.04 and latest gnome, when i maximize stuff the top toolbar doesn't go away so i can't minimize or close without right clicking on the bottom taskbar | 21:19 |
| === codeless is now known as lessSloc | ||
| Jordan_U | Etale: This isn't the type of thing I would expect to be fixed by re-installing, and upstart is a crutial part of your system which you don't want to mess with lightly. | 21:20 |
| _abc_ | How does one set the DNS manually once the IP is set manually?! | 21:20 |
| _abc_ | I get my settings written into /etc/resolv.conf wiped by NetworkDaemon | 21:20 |
| Jordan_U | Etale: It would also be good for you to file a bug report with "ubuntu-bug upstart". | 21:21 |
| ratcheer | _abc_: Yes, that always happens. | 21:21 |

| provola | Hi all | 21:32 |
| Zoohouse | Ubuntu comes with a firewall that I may have to configure to get connections (ssh) from the web? | 21:33 |

| ratcheer | Zoohouse: Yes, ufw | 21:33 |
| Zoohouse | ratcheer: ahhhhhh :) | 21:33 |
| Chuck_Norris | provola: maybe c++ ? | 21:33 |

| Chuck_Norris | provola: /j #c++ | 21:34 |
| provola | But math.h is related to Ubuntu | 21:34 |
| trism | provola: is the question just about compiling a program with math.h? | 21:34 |
| ratcheer | _abc_: Cool, thanks. | 21:34 |
| Chuck_Norris | ye, but is a header | 21:34 |
| provola | I mean: C++ is a programming language, /usr/include/math.h is Ubuntu related. | 21:34 |
| TransitTycoon | for the life of me, I can't get jack to record with recordmydesktop | 21:34 |

| Chuck_Norris | provola: paste your issue here if you want | 21:35 |
| provola | No th equestion is related to the fact that using math function in C IDE under Ubuntu doesn't work, while under arch works | 21:35 |
| provola | And I've looked and noticed that arch and Ubuntu have different /usr/include/math.h | 21:36 |
| Jak2000 | sk8|: http://pastebin.com/5enyizHY | 21:36 |
| Jak2000 | :( | 21:36 |
| trism | provola: doesn't work as in the symbol isn't resolved? | 21:36 |
| provola | I'm asking only for general advice. | 21:36 |
| provola | It doesn't work as it says "undefined reference to 'sin' " | 21:37 |
| trism | provola: how are you compiling it? you must specify -lm after the source files that reference it when passing to gcc | 21:38 |
| trism | provola: in ubuntu 11.10+ anyway, since the linker is more strict | 21:38 |
| provola | I know, but we're using an IDE and I can't specify -lm | 21:38 |
| provola | We'rem not using a script or so, we're using a software, it's a study purpose. | 21:39 |
| trism | provola: might help to specify what IDE you are using, I'm sure there are options for it in the project settings | 21:39 |
| provola | Code::Blocks | 21:40 |
| provola | I've googled but didn't find anything | 21:40 |
| provola | search string: "codeblocks ubuntu math.h lm" | 21:41 |
| alankila | aren't things like sin() supposed to be intrinsic anyway | 21:41 |
| trism | alankila: we used to get implicit references to many things before 11.10, but the linker is more strict now, so you have to specify -lm | 21:42 |
| alankila | well whatever, but if it's intrinsic there shouldn't be a linkage to sin | 21:42 |
| provola | Now I'm downloading this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe2kINbOngA | 21:43 |
| trism | alankila: I just said it isn't anymore | 21:43 |
| alankila | sounds like a step backwards. Why isn't it anymore? | 21:44 |
| trism | alankila: http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking | 21:45 |
| trism | alankila: although the fedora link on that page has better details | 21:45 |
| === Guest71017 is now known as mfisch | ||

| JUR | CIAO | 21:47 |
| Rook | L9r, JUR. | 21:48 |
| trism | alankila: it was always in libm, libc uses symbols from libm, so when you linked with libc, you implicitly got libm too, now you don't | 21:48 |

| alankila | probably never was either | 21:53 |
| mister_ | Chuck_Norris: thank you :) | 21:53 |
| trism | alankila: interestingly, if you call sin with a constant though, you don't need libm since gcc implements a special version | 21:53 |
| Chuck_Norris | np | 21:53 |
| alankila | trism: constant folding, I imagine | 21:54 |
| sk8| | Chuck_Norris, any idea why wifi disconnects when removed from power source? | 21:54 |
| alankila | gcc is pretty good at that, propagating constant values, evaluating statically known conditions, removing dead code, etc. | 21:54 |
| Chuck_Norris | sk8|: no idea but you can try "jupiter" por managing devices | 21:55 |
| nemetroid | right, i need to install oneiric on the way from natty. might as well start fresh in that case i guess. | 21:55 |
| sk8| | i will try jupiter | 21:56 |

| nerdistmonk | inactive becasue if i try to enable it , it blocks everything regardless of default rules | 22:30 |
| BlueEagle | nerdistmonk: No, you said the error message was something different that it actually was and that the firewall was "not working". A firewall that is blocking everything is working perfectly. | 22:30 |

| nerdistmonk | i guess it is, i havent touched it | 22:34 |
| === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris | ||
| BlueEagle | nerdistmonk: or even better try `ufw allow 80` followed by `ufw enable` and see if you can access web pages. If you can then the issue is reading the configuration file. | 22:34 |
| mneptok | MrNetflix: Windows and OSX, rather. | 22:34 |
| ichbinder | hello. My system isn't booting anymore. In recovery mode, it needs a very long time after it says: "attached scsi generic sg7 type 5". And then, after 3 Minutes or so, it gives me some output and the last part starts with "Call Trace: ..." | 22:34 |
| ichbinder | any idea what might be wrong? | 22:35 |
| nerdistmonk | blueeagle why doesnt ufw default allow outgoing work | 22:35 |
| nerdistmonk | and that doesnt fix my init anyways | 22:35 |
| MrNetflix | mneptok, I'm aware of the DRM problem. I'm looking for a workaround... I am also aware it has been done by a few people. | 22:35 |
| crazypete | how do I check which filesystem _types_ are available? | 22:35 |

| Dshoe | gparted | 22:35 |
| Dshoe | would be what id use crazypete | 22:35 |
| BlueEagle | nerdistmonk: Answering questions is easy. Figuring out what the problem is, that is the hard part. Why don't we try figure out what the hard part is first? | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | MrNetflix: I think you may need to dual boot | 22:35 |
| BlueEagle | nerdistmonk: I know that allowing port 80 won't resolve the root cause, but it will help identify it. | 22:36 |
| mneptok | MrNetflix: this is not some issue that crops up randomly in the Linux community. our platform is just not supported. | 22:36 |
| crazypete | Dshoe, ? | 22:36 |
| JohnTeddy | I have a laptop, I attached an additional screen. There is this invisible wall/line about 15% of the bottom of my additional screen where I can not cross the mouse cursor over it.

| Dshoe | its a program | 22:36 |

| Dshoe | you're talking about formatting a drive or partition right crazypete ? | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | MrNetflix: i'd put money on you not getting it to work | 22:37 |
| BlueEagle | JohnTeddy: Which make and model is your GPU? | 22:37 |
| mneptok | MrNetflix: a 2 year old hack is hardly going to be reliable. | 22:38 |
| BlueEagle | nerdistmonk: Were you able to access web pages? | 22:38 |
| nerdistmonk | enabled ufw resulted in error in init | 22:38 |
| crazypete | Dshoe, no, I want to see which filesystem types are available on my installation. Particularly wether aufs or overlayfs are available? | 22:38 |
| nerdistmonk | hang on | 22:38 |
| BlueEagle | nerdistmonk: Yes, but were you able to access web pages? | 22:38 |
| nerdistmonk | you said irc is port 6667 | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | nerdistmonk: it is | 22:38 |
| mneptok | MrNetflix: your best bet for stability and reliability is dual-booting, or a very lightweight VM for Windows/Netflix. | 22:39 |
| nerdistmonk | no | 22:39 |
| nerdistmonk | it wont let me out | 22:39 |

| nerdistmonk | nope | 22:40 |
| yellownblue | irc.anonops.net | 22:40 |
| nerdistmonk | but it did when i enabled ufw | 22:40 |
| nerdistmonk | then it blocked it all | 22:40 |
| BlueEagle | nerdistmonk: I see. Can you pastebin your rules? | 22:40 |
| nerdistmonk | what rules they were wiped out | 22:41 |
| nerdistmonk | i uninstalled and reinstalled ufw, so the only rules would be the ones you asked me to add | 22:41 |
| BlueEagle | ...so you do not have any before.rule or after.rules? | 22:41 |
| nerdistmonk | i installed ufw, then told it ufw default allow outgoing | 22:42 |
| nerdistmonk | then ufw default deny incoming | 22:42 |
| nerdistmonk | then i added port 80 and 6667 | 22:42 |
| nerdistmonk | then i enabled | 22:42 |
| BlueEagle | nerdistmonk: I see. You said you had reinstalled ufw. When you did, which command did you use? reinstall and uninstall do not necessarily remove configuration files. | 22:43 |
| kingnebex | <BlueEagle> hey r u still round? | 22:43 |
| nerdistmonk | well deleting /etc/ufw certainly will remove the rules | 22:43 |
| nerdistmonk | lol | 22:43 |
| BlueEagle | nerdistmonk: For real? | 22:43 |
| BlueEagle | kingnebex: Nope. | 22:44 |
| nerdistmonk | yeah, i did complete remove, then delete the folder | 22:44 |
| BlueEagle | nerdistmonk: By complete remove you ofcourse mean apt-get purge ufw | 22:44 |
| kingnebex | <BlueEagle> goood then can u help? | 22:44 |

| nerdistmonk | the synaptic equivelent of it | 22:45 |
| BlueEagle | kingnebex: I cannot help unless you state a problem. Also when you use "u" and "r" as words I become less inclined to provide assistance. | 22:45 |
| nerdistmonk | and regardless deleting the /etc/ufw folder removes the rules | 22:45 |

| damms005 | ubottu: i guess aptitude is acommand. (I typed man aptitude and there is no entry for it on my ubuntu 11.1) | 23:37 |
| Jordan_U | damms005: ubottu is a channel bot. We send her commands like "!clone" and she displays answers to commonly asked questions. | 23:37 |
| rypervenche | damms005: You have to install it first. Here, talk to me in PM. | 23:37 |
