[06:37] <gerald> Thanks, I'll check those out
[06:57] <yeehi> Please help me!
[06:58] <yeehi> I am using a proxy - I try to connect to the servers for sudo apt-get update but do not reach them
[06:58] <yeehi> Therefor, I tried something like this command line: export http_proxy=http://thisismyusername:thisismypasasword@123.456.7.8:1234
[06:59] <yeehi> I didn't get any error messages, but I still can't download from the servers for an update -
[06:59] <yeehi> do I have to substitute data for http_proxy= ?
[06:59] <yeehi> What should I do?
[07:06] <yeehi> hello kempe_
[08:53] <yeehi> is anybody here? I have a problem
[09:20] <yeehi> Hello! I need help!
[09:20] <yeehi> I am using a proxy, so I need to configure apt for the proxy. I enter a command very similar to this:
[09:20] <yeehi> export http_proxy=http://thisismyusername:thisismypasasword@123.456.7.8:1234
[09:21] <yeehi> I don't get an error message, but I am still unable to download from the repoitories. Do I need to change the command I entered? eg do I need to substitute data for http_proxy ?
[09:25] <yeehi> hello aeoril can you help me?
[09:25] <aeoril> yeehi, probably not - I am not that good at Ubuntu, but go ahead and shoot
[09:43] <yeehi> hello aeoril, do you know how to configure apt for a proxy? I have tried something like this command:
[09:43] <yeehi> export http_proxy=http://thisismyusername:thisismypasasword@123.456.7.8:1234
[09:44] <yeehi> But I am still unable to download from the repositories. Do I need to substitute http_proxy= for some data?
[09:44] <aeoril> yeehi:  no, sorry.  man apt?  google 'apt proxy'?
[09:45] <yeehi> I have had a look at the manual page for apt - I have followed it as best as I can
[09:45] <yeehi> I will try googling apt proxy! Why didn't I think of that?!
[09:46] <hobgoblin> yeehi: if you've got synaptic you can do that in the settings somewhere

[16:58] <vinnie_> hello
[17:07] <kristian-aalborg> holstein, mike, are you there?
[17:52] <okwa> hey hi hello      im trying the first time a chroot
[17:53] <okwa> i run it with schroot
[17:53] <okwa> im running xubuntu precise (host) and ubuntu precise minimal (target)
[17:53] <okwa> i installed firefox in the chroot
[17:54] <okwa> and now typing      $firefox
[17:54] <okwa> it returns Error: no display specified
[17:54] <okwa> anyone knows what i could do?
[18:05] <okwa> anyone?
[18:09] <okwa> [19:52] <okwa> hey hi hello      im trying the first time a chroot [19:53] <okwa> i run it with schroot [19:53] <okwa> im running xubuntu precise (host) and ubuntu precise minimal (target) [19:53] <okwa> i installed firefox in the chroot [19:54] <okwa> and now typing      $firefox [19:54] <okwa> it returns Error: no display specified
[18:09] <holstein> kristian-aalborg: pong
[18:09] <kristian-aalborg> holstein, morning
[18:09] <kristian-aalborg> ;)
[18:10] <holstein> okwa: other than referring you to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot, or suggesting what i do, which is just a virtualbox installation...
[18:13] <okwa> virtualbox? do you use virtualbox or something else as virtualmachine envoirement?
[18:13] <okwa> virtual box is eating processor here
[18:15] <holstein> for my testing purposes, on the machine i use.. it works fine.. it = virtualbox
[18:15] <holstein> try vmware or one of the others if you like.. or maybe try the server channel for more info on chroot
[18:17] <okwa> thx
[18:18] <okwa> i found it
[18:18] <okwa> (for the log)  here the solution:
[18:19] <okwa> add in etc/schroot/schroot.conf   the line       preserve-environment=true      this takes DISPLAY and PATH
[18:19] <okwa> :)    thx  beautiful day
[18:39] <Moesbie> hi, trying to install valgrind 3.7.0 on ubuntu 12.04
[18:39] <Moesbie> after running ./configure i get
[18:39] <Moesbie> checking the GLIBC_VERSION version... unsuported version 2.15
[18:39] <Moesbie> configur: error: Valgrind requires glibc version 2.2 - 2.14
[18:40] <Moesbie> i guess this is why there is no makefile, what should i do?
[18:41] <holstein> i usually look for PPAs... maybe https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/valgrind would help
[18:41] <holstein> then, i check for a .deb ...otherwise, you might need to do some heavy lifting on some package versions
[18:41] <holstein> i would expect problems
[19:00] <Moesbie> thanks, i guess a PPA would make it a lot easier
[19:01] <holstein> ppa's can break things too... but using ppa-purge can be helpful in that case, and i find it easier to recover personally
[19:03] <Derelict> New to 12.04 LTS Server from FreeBSD.  How to I confirm that linux-image-3.2.0-1414-omap4 is installed?  apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade has not indicated it was installed.
[19:04] <holstein> Derelict: i would open the package manager of your choice, and search for it.. i still grab and use synaptic
[19:05] <holstein> i would check out...
[19:05] <holstein> !grub
[19:05] <ubot2> 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)
[19:05] <holstein> could be you have it installed...
[19:06] <holstein> grub is hidend by default.. usually hitting shift at boot makes it pop up, and the earlier version are under a sub group these days called "previous entries" or soething like that
[19:06] <bioterror> holstein, hey, he's from freebsd :D
[19:06] <bioterror> dpkg -l |grep omap4
[19:06] <bioterror> for example
[19:06] <bioterror> dpkg -l lists packages installed
[19:11] <Derelict> Yup.  "LONG TERM SUPPORT" is what I seek.  Rebuilding servers every 18-24 months is getting really old.
[19:12] <Derelict> so dpkg -l | grep omap matches no lines
[19:12] <Derelict> and apt-cache search omap does not yiels the patch.
[19:12] <holstein> maybe you should "big picture" what you are trying to do
[19:13] <Derelict> I am trying to make sure this server is patched for
[19:13] <Derelict> Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1474-1
[19:13] <Derelict> June 13, 2012
[19:13] <Derelict> linux-ti-omap4 vulnerabilities
[19:14] <holstein> if you installed that on your own, it wont show up in the package managers
[19:14] <Derelict> I didn't.
[19:14] <Derelict> The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
[19:14] <Derelict> package versions:
[19:14] <Derelict> Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
[19:14] <Derelict>  linux-image-3.2.0-1414-omap4    3.2.0-1414.19
[19:14] <Derelict> After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
[19:14] <Derelict> all the necessary changes.
[19:14] <Derelict> I read that as apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade ; apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:15] <holstein> then, its good to go, correct?
[19:15] <holstein> uname -a shows what you expect?
[19:15] <Derelict> dpkg -l still doesn't list linux-image-3.2.0-1414-omap4
[19:15] <Derelict> That's what I'm trying to verify - that it's good to go.
[19:16] <holstein> you could try the kernel team i suppose
[19:16] <Derelict> Linux hostname 3.2.0-25-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 23 20:30:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[19:16] <Derelict> no.
[19:16] <holstein> thats what i would expect to see
[19:18] <Derelict> Hmm the timestamp on that kernel is 5/23.  The security notice was 6/13
[19:18] <Derelict> and nothing ever gave any indication that "linux-image-3.2.0-1414-omap4" was being installed.
[19:21] <Derelict> Nevermind.
[19:21] <Derelict> I'm being stupid.
[19:22] <Derelict> thanks.
[19:24] <phillw> hmm, I thought they were still testing the new 12.04.1 kernel? But, i don't get all the release notes :P
[19:24] <hobgoblin> phillw: pretty sure they still are
[19:25] <phillw> I'd have expect a note from QA to state it is out in the wild :P
[19:26] <phillw> http://qa.ubuntu.com/2012/06/07/call-for-testing-12-10-kernel-on-12-04-99/
[19:26] <phillw> last update I have.
[19:35] <hobgoblin> I was asked to test it only yesterday - so I doubt if much has gone on since then
[19:38] <phillw> hobgoblin: hmm, seems that http://packages.qa.dev.stgraber.org/qatracker/milestones/223/builds is not logging bugs correctly, I'll go and give Nicholas a ping on QA
[20:34] <Moesbie> is there a way to see what a PPA did to install something?
[21:38] <yeehi> Helo! I am in trouble! I edited the sudoers file
[21:39] <yeehi> now I can't open it
[21:39] <yeehi> I left a parse error in the sudoers file and now it says there are no valid sudoer files and I can't use sudo - i need sudo to edit that file
[22:04] <yeehi> Help - i made a mistake in the sudoers file, now i can't use sudo - I can't use my sudo password for root - what should I do?
[22:16] <ntwrk_keith> Hello
[22:16] <ntwrk_keith> Need some Samba help
[22:16] <ntwrk_keith> trying to follow a guide and create a Samba user
[22:16] <ntwrk_keith> but I'm getting this error back
[22:16] <ntwrk_keith> Failed to add entry for user
[22:21] <holstein> i typically make sure i can ping the machines
[22:21] <holstein> sometimes i disable firewalls temporarily
[22:21] <holstein> permissions errors are usually the issue... i usually use ssh to share instead
[22:22] <ntwrk_keith> ?
[22:22] <ntwrk_keith> I'm just trying to create a user at this point
[22:22] <ntwrk_keith> locally on the samba server
[22:22] <ntwrk_keith> and its failing
[22:22] <holstein> shouldnt need a "sambe user" necessarily
[22:23] <holstein> samba*
[22:23] <ntwrk_keith> I want to enforce logging in
[22:23] <ntwrk_keith> i dont want guest login
[22:23] <holstein> sure... that'll happen with the permissions
[22:23] <holstein> can you ping the machines from each other?
[22:23] <ntwrk_keith> holstein
[22:23] <holstein> what operating systems are you using?
[22:23] <ntwrk_keith> I dont think you understand me
[22:23] <holstein> ntwrk_keith: im quite sure i dont
[22:23] <holstein> ntwrk_keith: but im working on it
[22:23] <ntwrk_keith> I am trying to create the username on the server, from the server
[22:24] <ntwrk_keith> sudo smbpasswd -a username
[22:24] <holstein> you should have a user on the server
[22:24] <ntwrk_keith> I dont want to use that username
[22:24] <ntwrk_keith> I want to create a separate username
[22:24] <ntwrk_keith> to share
[22:24] <holstein> i would make another user
[22:25] <holstein> sudo adduser username
[22:25] <ntwrk_keith> Ah
[22:25] <ntwrk_keith> You have to create the user first before creating the Samba User
[22:25] <ntwrk_keith> thanks
[22:26] <ntwrk_keith> It works!
[22:26] <ntwrk_keith> Sweet
[22:35] <ntwrk_keith> Where is the default directory that a USB drive would be mounted to, if mounted at all?
[22:35] <holstein>  /media maybe
[22:35] <holstein> you can mount them where you like though
[22:36] <ntwrk_keith> Yeah but I dont know how... I know the command
[22:36] <ntwrk_keith> but dont know what drive it is
[22:36] <holstein> sudo fdisk -l
[22:36] <holstein> sudo mount /dev/sd** /path/to/whatever
[22:37] <ntwrk_keith> hmm
[22:37] <ntwrk_keith> it could be /sda5
[22:37] <holstein> !mount
[22:37] <ubot2> mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount
[22:37] <holstein> i would refer to that and make sure you dont need any flags
[22:38] <ntwrk_keith> thatnks buddy :)
[22:38] <ntwrk_keith> thanks*
[22:38] <ntwrk_keith> still learning linux, especially cli
[22:38] <holstein> you're doing great!
[22:40] <ntwrk_keith> mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'
[22:40] <ntwrk_keith> this mean anything to u?
[22:41] <holstein> i would make sure you are mounting what you think you are mounting
[22:42] <holstein> looks like thats an LVM volume
[22:42] <ntwrk_keith> Hmm
[22:42] <ntwrk_keith> I think the drive isnt even showing up
[22:43] <holstein> http://www.linux-sxs.org/storage/fedora2ubuntu.html ..assuming that is correct
[22:43] <ntwrk_keith> unplugged it and the same 3 devices were there
[22:44] <ntwrk_keith> ah.... there it is
[22:44] <ntwrk_keith> dev/sdb1
[22:44] <ntwrk_keith> it wasnt getting full power before
[22:45] <ntwrk_keith> Now I'm cooking
[22:45] <ntwrk_keith> thanks so much
[22:52] <ntwrk_keith> I'm in business
[22:52] <ntwrk_keith> can see the files from this machine
[22:52] <ntwrk_keith> this is cool
[22:58] <ntwrk_keith> Thanks again holstein
[22:58] <holstein> ntwrk_keith: anytime!
[23:21] <ntwrk_keith> Ok this might not be a ubuntu specific question but if I have a movie with 2 .avi files or whatever file type, is xbmc smart enough to continuously play through them?
[23:21] <holstein> ntwrk_keith: i would ask the content creator for one file
[23:57] <WilsonBradley> I reinstalled 12.10 because I had problems with 12.04, now it doesn't return completly from standby (suspend), the screen is black but it looks like it came back except LCD screen or external monitor. Asus 1015Pem , N550, GMU 3150 graphics
