=== riddlebox2 is now known as riddlebox [00:04] How can I set a .gif image as a wallpaper in ubuntu 12.04? [00:04] hey, can anyone tell me how to remove read-only from a usb drive and then mount it normally? Thanks! [00:04] anyone getting a 4-5 minute boot time after upgrading to 12.04? [00:04] not here [00:04] hangdeadman: right click desktop -> set wallpaper then select images folder and click the little + button if the image is not listed [00:05] Is anyone here familiar with photorec? Is it possible to resume it after an interruption (in this case, a reboot for an unknown reason)? [00:05] mstef: run: dmesg | less look fr large gaps in the left hand colomn [00:05] Anyone have sound notifications working with Empathy in 12.04? [00:05] This thing has been running for *DAYS* and I do not want to have to start over [00:05] ActionParsnip: i looked..i didn't see any gaps [00:05] Some_Person try testdisk [00:06] MonkeyDust: testdisk failed to fix the drive [00:06] ActionParsnip: gaps as in big jumps in numbers? [00:06] It was about 12 hours away from finishing [00:06] (photorec) [00:06] actionparsnip: an animated gif will not animate as a wallpaper... how do I animate it? [00:06] Jordan_U: how can i pipe the do-release-upgrade output? tee doesn't catch it [00:06] !recover| Some_Person [00:06] Some_Person: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [00:07] NotJimCarrey: i would suggest using the script command [00:07] MonkeyDust: Yes, I've already gone through the ropes. photorec was the only solution that even seemed to do anything [00:07] script filename.txt then type your stuff, then exit [00:07] how do I remove read-only from a USB drive? Thanks! [00:08] man mount [00:08] hey guys, just installed 12.04 and volume control does not work - sound does tho. [00:08] SS01 is it a system file? [00:09] Am I seriously going to have to wait several days again? [00:09] NotJimCarrey: sudo do-release-upgrade 2>&1 | tee /path/to/file.log [00:10] Some_Person you're rejecting any other advice or solution [00:10] Some_Person: What do you want? You screwed up your drive, these are the consequences if you want your data back. [00:10] MonkeyDust: I've tried testdisk, gpart, etc. etc. already [00:11] ActionParsnip: boot time is 244 seconds [00:11] hi here [00:11] MonkeyDust: mount -t /dev/sdb1 worked. It was just a 2gb usb with lubuntu on it. [00:11] MonkeyDust: I could try some of the other programs that do the same thing as photorec, but wouldn't they also take several days? [00:11] ok. I upgraded my lucid to maverick and added several PPA's and keyboard doesn't work in Xorg :) .. also onboard keyboard doesn't work too) my hardware is Acer 5750G Keyboard work in win7 and liveCD [00:11] biggest jump is from 8 to 42 [00:12] When I try to connect to my self with SSH using my public ip, I get: ssh: connect to host 184.33.23.64 port 22: Connection refused. I checked on www.canyouseeme.org and port 22 is open. I have sshd running... [00:12] ANybody helps me [00:12] Jordan_U: here's the pastebin, http://pastebin.com/hvGn5kxt [00:12] :( [00:12] does 12.04 still use PulseAudio? [00:12] yea [00:12] yep [00:12] Kira: why did you not upgrade to precice¿ maverick is no longer supported :/ [00:13] wait 8.04 is still supported? o.o [00:13] pulseaudio in init.d does nothing. alsamixer (terminal) seems to work but not gnome volume control === hassan is now known as Guest74680 [00:13] SS01: only server [00:13] MonkeyDust: I'm not rejecting other solutions, just ones I've already tried [00:13] oh ok [00:13] I can but what it can change? I doubt that keyboard depends from distro [00:14] SS01:on server only, but yes [00:14] nope 8.04.. only server supported [00:14] Kira: Seems very likey that your mixing different versions of the Xorg server package and the keyboard drivers. [00:15] i run a local server for learning and testing purposes... based on Proxmox VE and running Ubuntu as webservers [00:15] malachi7: not in lubuntu afaik [00:16] I think so..but I fix Xorg ver and reinstallled(purge and install).. same situ nothing changes [00:16] So check the Xorg log file for errors, and check your package listings for different version numbers. [00:16] how can i redirect a subdomain ( sub1.domain.com) to another internal ip other than the webserver(www.domain.com)? [00:17] mmm... one strange thing.. why "onboard" screen keyboard doesn't work too? [00:17] Zoohouse: you have a firewall blocking port 22 on outgoing or incomming to yourself [00:17] Don't know, don't really care :-) Never used it. [00:17] Kira: can you expand 'doesn't work' please [00:17] oh. after mounting, I still get http://paste.ubuntu.com/1039967/ when I view the drive in nautilius [00:18] skorv can you elaborate [00:18] Gallomimia: it doesn't work even when I sudo ufw disable.. Should it work then? [00:18] that doesn't sound difficult... what are you trying to do? [00:18] Zoohouse, are you sure you're not using public key authentication with password authentication disabled? [00:18] Zoohouse: i think it's probably a firewall that's not on the server, but on your network. in your router [00:18] the error starts at line 7846 [00:18] Zoohouse, are you behind a router? [00:18] Zoohouse, did you check ufw is not blocking 22? [00:19] yep. start at the beginning. how is your network structured [00:19] Kira: have you tried gok as an alternative? [00:19] what devices control it [00:19] when I press keys.. just sound ..like sound when wrong key or keykombination pressed.. nothing in input dialogs.. no reaction on keyboard at all.. Alt+ F1 doesn't work too.. mouse works. [00:19] ok... inside the hipervisor there is the webserver(for http/http purposes) but i run a service that runs over https on another VM [00:19] skorv any details? [00:19] Kira, does it still do it after a reboot? [00:19] or after unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in? [00:20] so you don't want their ports to interfere? [00:20] you have separate ip's for the two servers? [00:20] yes [00:20] router is fwd port 22 to my laptop (sshd). crackerjackz: when I ufw enable; ufw status: 22 ALLOW Anywhere [00:20] Zoohouse: is your laptop the system you're connecting to? [00:20] servers are runing at .2 and .3 (xxx.xxx.xxx.?) [00:21] eagle_eye: however it didn't work [00:21] Gallomimia: yes [00:21] yep.. it happens each boot. ( ... mb prob in acerhk-source? I removed it .. but mb it brake something? [00:21] Zoohouse, just for testing purposes type sudo disable ufw (only for a couple moments) just so that we can insure its not ufw causing it [00:21] okay it's simple skorv just add an A record for that subdomain to your domain registry [00:21] who hosts your domain? [00:21] eagle_eye: drag & dropping doesn't work [00:21] hello :) [00:21] i do... [00:21] I have a question [00:21] alright then in that host record add the details... [00:21] how do i fixed a 250 second ubuntu 12.04 boot time? [00:21] let me dig it up [00:21] skorv, #httpd might be able to help [00:22] crackerjackz: i disabled ufw aginn [00:22] again* [00:22] ty mare [00:22] mate === jamie is now known as Guest14846 [00:22] I want to install flightgear on a beagleboard xm rev c [00:22] Zoohouse, what is the make and model of your router? [00:22] yeah skorv that's actually an issue with bind9 it's easy to deal with [00:22] I have Ubuntu 11.04 installed [00:22] disable the spi firewall in your router and tell it to respond to ICMP traffic [00:22] I installed flightgear with the synaptic [00:23] Zoohouse, i would actually completely open your router up and just use IPTABLES to filter the traffic across your network [00:23] now, when I start the game, I have some nasal runtime error... [00:23] someone knows how to get rid of them? [00:23] also disable password authentication and use public key authentication with ssh keys instead [00:24] you can also set a passphrase on your ssh key if you like [00:25] sapiens: "nasal runtime error"? Use a service like http://pastebin.com/ to show us the exact error you are getting. [00:25] makes me think of a runny nose [00:26] ok adamk [00:27] hello, while using pmount: Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Read-only file system [00:27] exit [00:27] ? [00:27] SS01: What's the output of 'file -s /dev/sdb1'? [00:28] minute [00:28] /dev/sdb1: no read permission === keith_ is now known as keefer [00:28] ls [00:28] oops [00:29] crackerjackz: I have vonage voip connected to my linksys wrt54gs [00:30] Vonage is forwarding port 22 to linksys, and linksys is forwarding to my laptop (sshd) [00:30] Gallomimia: Bind9... how do i configure it to do that [00:30] Zoohouse, what device.. the vonage device is also a firewall [00:30] i used to have vonage [00:31] Zoohouse, completely disable firewall on your router and dmz your IP [00:31] then forward port 22 on vonage device to your computer [00:31] hello ? [00:32] Zoohouse, ensure that you have spi firewall disabled on your router [00:32] pandu, hello [00:32] crackerjackz: Its the VDV21-VD [00:32] crackerjackz: spi firewall? are you seeing that in the docs? I've never seen anything named spi firewall on the linksys [00:34] somebody knows about third party application in ubuntu ? [00:35] pandu: ubuntu is made of 3rd party apps... [00:36] actionparsnip : like adobe photoshop ? [00:36] SS01: Pastebin the output of 'ls -l /dev/sd*' [00:36] pandu: yuo'll have to check the appdb for compatibility [00:36] actionparsnip : how ? [00:36] pandu: search, google will bubble you to the right answer :) [00:36] Jordan_U: i cleaned up the pastebin to make it easier (removed all the % lines): http://pastebin.com/hvGn5kxt [00:37] pandu: you'll need wine installing [00:38] actionparsnip : yes I already isntalled my wine [00:38] pandu: check the appdb, see how to get it working [00:38] appdb ? [00:38] how? [00:38] hello all! [00:38] hi [00:38] I'm new on ubuntu [00:38] what is an active document root? [00:38] help me [00:39] T.T [00:39] !appd === eric is now known as Guest18462 [00:39] !appdb [00:39] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [00:39] pandu: I bet if you search you'll find it. Seriously. Even the most BASIC search will find it [00:39] I 'll try [00:39] pandu: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=appdb&kp=1 note the top link... [00:40] pandu: also note what I actually searched for [00:40] btw no ideas about my kb?( [00:40] pandu: its nearly nothing yet it found the the desired [00:40] okay okay [00:41] pandu: that's why I told you to search, but you didn't. Why not? [00:41] PS version 7 is platinum : http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=17 [00:41] is anybody works in canonical in this chat? [00:42] We all volunteer, Kira [00:42] crackerjackz: the only thing I can't turn off of the router's firewall is spi firewall [00:42] same here) [00:42] crackerjackz: sorry, meant to say the only thing I can't turn off is Filter IDENT(Port 113) [00:42] I'll search it ;) [00:43] With System Monitor I was able to change the priority of a process to Very Low. Then I decided to change it to Low, but I'm getting "permission denied" on that. Why was I able to lower it but not raise it? [00:43] I simply want to find anybody who helps me to repair my keyboard [00:45] Kira: It's unlikely anyone from Canonical would support 10.10 being... well... unsupported these days :-) [00:45] Kira: broken in what way? [00:45] broken in Xorg :) [00:46] Kira: are you using Maverick? [00:46] I'm using maverick [00:46] Kira: have you tried it in a liveCD of Precise? [00:46] yep [00:46] certainly tryed.. I'm blondie but not natural blondie :) [00:46] any good Hacking simulation games around? i searched a bit but nothing came up exept uplink that is not free... [00:47] Kira: is the system a laptop or is it a proper keyboard? [00:47] crackerjackz: ah, the problem was with the linksys router. As soon as I turned on dmz, it worked. [00:47] it's acer 5750G laptop [00:47] but I tryed usb-keyboard too and on-board (sceeen keyboard) [00:48] Kira: is there a key to enable / disable the keyboard? [00:48] also [00:48] nope [00:48] Is it normal that you can lower a process priority but are not allowed to raise it? Or maybe it was just something specific about this process. [00:48] Kira: You shouldn't just assume that they are the same problem, though that is a possibility. You said you tried it in a liveCD of Precise... Did it work there? [00:49] hello, we are opening a social center for disabled people,inclund blind people, so we are using F123, an ubuntu modified version for disabled people, I need to get a BEEP on the syslinux when asks for a password, and I dont know how to set the BEL order to get the beep working, may someone please help us?,we spent the whole day without successful [00:49] yep it works in any Live CD include Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD.. and it's strange [00:49] somebody know abt backtrack ? [00:49] !bt [00:49] So did you check the Xorg log file as I suggested? Clearly it's not a hardware problem, but something with your installation or your preferences. [00:50] yep.. it's my third sys on laptop [00:50] Kira: have you tried other distros like suse or puppy? [00:50] Kira: so purge did not purge everything [00:50] !backtrack | pandu [00:50] pandu: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [00:50] pandu: If fsf makes free software, maybe fsf borrow some money for poor person right? [00:50] yep. but I love ubuntu [00:50] backtrack for hacker :P [00:51] dpkg: error processing qmail (--configure): [00:51] subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [00:51] dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of qmail-run: [00:51] qmail-run depends on qmail (>= 1.06-2.1); however: [00:51] Package qmail is not configured yet.

[00:51] ActionParsnip: What would that tell us? We already know it works in Ubuntu LiveCDs, so we know it's not the hardware. [00:51] Kira: I love UBuntu because ubuntu developers don't care if the software are pŕoprietary or free [00:51] how avoid this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1040008/ [00:51] hehehe [00:51] adamk: ah, missed that bit [00:51] backtrack for right person. ubuntu + security packages = backtrack.. so it's marketing game :) [00:51] i wanna install some software [00:52] Kira: did you say it worked in Precise? [00:52] P-Chan, wrong assumption. [00:52] I wanna compile pure data extended for Ubuntu 12.04 [00:52] yep It works in Precise Pangolin [00:52] adamk: using another distro isn't testing the hardware, its seeing if its a setting in Ubuntu or maybe the default xorg version shitpped in ubuntu [00:52] macintosh vs ubuntu | which one ? :P [00:53] Zoohouse, now use IPTABLES to filter the traffic across your network, maybe even just get rid of that linksys and build your self a linux router [00:53] Kira: then wipe out Maverick and install Precise and you have no issue [00:53] Kira: 2 bird with one stone [00:53] !ot | pandu [00:53] pandu: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:53] pandu: this is support only, so polls are not only worthless but are also offtopic here [00:54] yaya --" sorry [00:54] crackerjackz: I got ufw back up now. Problem is I have other computers that I want to connect via ssh. If I fwd all the ports to this laptop then how am I going to connect to other pcs? [00:54] Ubuntu all the way bby [00:54] Zoohouse, that's why i suggested that you build a linux router [00:55] :) [00:55] hello, we are opening a social center for disabled people,inclund blind people, so we are using F123, an ubuntu modified version for disabled people, I need to get a BEEP on the syslinux when asks for a password, and I dont know how to set the BEL order to get the beep working, may someone please help us?,we spent the whole day without successful [00:55] Ubuntu, and Windows 7, you can be damn sure that you're in heaven. [00:56] Zoohouse, for now though i would disable the spi firewall on the linux router and undo the dmz of your computer then just use port forwarding [00:56] on the linksys* [00:56] until you build your own router* [00:56] PiruBalita: I'm not sure but I think you can even get it to say "Enter Password" or something like that... [00:56] Hey all..Any good Hacking simulation games around? i searched a bit but nothing came up exept uplink that is not free... [00:57] PiruBalita, open terminal: " alsamixer " and see if pcspeaker is muted [00:57] Zoohouse, well, we need just a beep,more simple,no? [00:57] infame: Who needs win7 ;) [00:57] crackerjackz: what spi firewall? [00:57] OerHeks, no,it is not [00:57] sounds work [00:57] Zoohouse, there should be a setting in your router somewhere you should see it [00:57] just need to set a beep on the bootmanager,not at the system boot [00:58] ubukou: 'apt-cache search game hack' <-- try that in a terminal. [00:58] Zoohouse, it might be called something different [00:58] Ok, this is embarassing, but I've forgotten my NickServ password and using SENDPASS results in "You are not authorized to perfom this operation..." What are my options? [00:58] Is it normal that you can lower a process priority but are not allowed to raise it? Or maybe it was just something specific about this process. [00:58] Trian3: assk in #freenode [00:58] ask* [00:58] ejo depends on process [00:58] Wylde_ Thanks [00:59] ejo: use sudo to lower niceness [00:59] wylde, cool thanks [00:59] ActionParsnip: cool thanks... I wonder why we can raise it without [00:59] ejo: sudo will especially needed to set a negative nice value [00:59] or you can do it as root [00:59] ejo: because it makes it use less CPU than it normally would, i guess [01:00] wylde, cool command.. it searches only the sources you have right ? [01:00] Understandable. [01:00] ubukou: yep === PiruBalita is now known as Beastie33 [01:01] ubukou: lots of "cool" things you can do on the command line ;) Lots of times it's even more interesting than a hacking game ;) lol [01:01] ActionParsnip, .NET and Games(good games) requires Win7 ;) [01:02] infame: depends on your idea of good.

[01:08] thank for help or at least trying to help [01:08] I want what I type to fill up the monitor and not be restricted to the size of paper [01:10] Let me rephrase that [01:11] Hey [01:11] Wondering if someone can do me a strange favor [01:11] I'm trying to figure out how to change the page text layout to fullscreen rather than page print margins [01:11] hi robertzaccour [01:11] try using weblayout + full screen [01:11] robertzaccour: could try "web layout" in view then ctrl+shift+j form fullscreen? [01:11] robertzaccour, left ctrl + mousewheel ? [01:12] abd: without asing, we'll never know :) [01:13] ok thanks very much :-) [01:14] why does alt-tabbing not save the order of windows but selecting windows by the mouse does? [01:14] booi: which ALT-TAB plugin are you using? [01:14] robertzaccour if you need the toolbars, you could also try "weblayout" and then View->Zoom...->fit width [01:15] calinda, I want just fullscreen :) [01:15] robertzaccour: F11 maybe... === Tabmow is now known as evilTabmow [01:17] ActionParsnip, uhh. what's the default? Application Switcher? [01:17] Can someone tell me what I did wrong here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1040036/ [01:17] booi: sounds right [01:18] booi: not sure, I ditched compiza while ago now [01:18] booi: could switch to ring switcher after disabling the app switcher [01:18] Relondo: why were you unpacking a deb file? [01:18] ActionParsnip, i figured it out. it's because by default the application switcher actually brings the window into focus so while you're tabbing through it actually changes the stack [01:18] wylde_: That's how I install .deb files...I thought. [01:18] which... is stupid. [01:18] Relondo: nvm me, omg I need more coffee, [01:19] wylde_:Lol, no problem. So do you know what went wrong? [01:19] Relondo: I'll have a llok, then I'll go make coffee! hehe [01:19] wylde_: Thanks. [01:21] Relondo: ...someone else should look. Possibly a bad package file? Have tried downloading another copy? [01:21] Relondo is it a humie indie bundle game ? [01:21] booi: could report a bug [01:21] OerHeks: Yeah. [01:22] Wylde_: Nope. I can, though. [01:22] wylde_: Ubuntu Software Center can't handle it, either. Or does the Software Center being unable to handle it mean I definitely can't install it via terminal? [01:23] Relondo: that makes me think the deb is bad, to be honest. [01:23] wylde_: Oh. [01:23] Relondo: if a new copy still fails with the same error, I'd email/contact the maintainer/author/host site [01:24] and with that, off to prev my caffeine IV [01:24] wylde_: Alright. Next problem: I can't shut down Ubuntu. Well, I can, but then the computer immediately restarts. [01:24] prep* [01:26] wylde_: And "shutdown -h now" doesn't work, either. [01:28] Relondo: I've actually never ran into that issue myself. [01:28] ActionParsnip, yeah maybe. [01:30] Relondo: do you have the latest BIOS? [01:30] ActionParsnip, do you know how to increase the speed of the application switcher? It doesn't seem like "speed" or "time step" do anything... [01:30] Is this the place to get help with a Windows install for 12.04? [01:31] booi: not sure, maybe the guys in #compiz can help. I use Unity2D and it's sweet [01:31] erryn: how do you mean? [01:31] oh sh*t there's a compiz channel [01:31] Relondo: http://askubuntu.com/questions/125844/shutdown-does-not-power-off-computer<--- does that help?Seems to be Dell related though. [01:31] ActionParsnip: Well, I have wubi from the ubuntu website and the 12.04 desktop i386 iso (download via BT)... [01:31] wylde_: Mine's a Toshiba. [01:31] actionparsnip: Not sure. [01:32] Relondo: worth checking [01:32] anyone tried moving /home from a separate partition back into the main partition? [01:32] ActionParsnip: But running wubi just jumps to the status bar being about 40% "done", with the message "Downloading information on installation files"...and never leaves that [01:32] Can I just rsync copy all the files over, then comment out the mount command and reboot? [01:32] erryn: you can mount the ISO using magicdisk / daemontools and run Wubi from there. If you use Win7 you can resize the NTFS easily in Windows and install to the new unpartitioned space [01:33] actionparsnip: Hm. BIOS updates scare me. [01:33] agc93: should be ok [01:33] ActionParsnip: In this instance, I was really hoping to set up a single-file install rather than a partition. [01:33] I am attempting to upgrade to kernel 3.4 on precise by using the quantal repository. (Yes, I have a serious need to upgrade). In /etc/apt/preferences.d/01kernel I have this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1040052/ -- but it seems to not be working. Although I can see kernel 3.4 with 'apt-cache policy...' it doesn't want to install it. In fact, it seems I've pinned myself to my currently-installed kernel version (there is a 3.2 upgrade that it doesn't want ... [01:33] ... to do either). What did I do wrong? :( [01:33] erryn: MD5 test the ISO then mount it, should be ok [01:34] ActionParsnip: I'll give that a try, thanks [01:34] boshhead: kernel 3.4 isn't supported in Precise [01:34] ActionParsnip: that's nice, but 3.2 isn't supported on my hardware platform either. :P [01:34] boshhead: its offtopic here [01:34] ActionParsnip: is there a place I can get general help with apt configuration? [01:35] boshhead: if you are having issues installing a new kernel using apt, I wouldn't go messing with kernels [01:35] I'm having an issue with packing pinning, and installing a kernel is simpler than package pinning. [01:35] boshhead: if you want a half made OS with teh 3.4 kernel you could install alpha1 of Quantal === evilTabmow is now known as evilTabstar [01:36] I don't want Quantal, I just want kernel 3.4. [01:36] Is there a channel to discuss Linux rigs or can I do it here? [01:37] Edwardf414: as in the hardware? [01:37] !mainline | boshhead remember you are on your own with it [01:37] boshhead remember you are on your own with it: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [01:38] xangua: thanks, I saw that in my google-fu'ing but I thought this would be a better way... I guess I'll have to go that route though. [01:38] ActionParsnip: yes looking at ultrabooks for school/personal use [01:38] Edwardf414, ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic [01:39] Bazhang: thanks [01:44] ubuntu instal asking to change the partition but it isnt giving an otion [01:45] anyone know how to start conky on startup [01:45] "lib32asound2: [01:45] Depends: libasound2 (=1.0.25-1ubuntu10) but 1.0.25-1ubuntu10.1 is to be installed" What does this mean?

Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [01:48] what makes it happen. What does it say when it happens? [01:48] well i play something in flash....2 seconds later crashes [01:48] how do you know it crashes? [01:48] what do you see?

I have it working on a flashdrive but when I tried to install it on a HDD for a toshiba p300 laptop the mouse or mouse pad will not work and all LAN function is lost. I did the install so that updates were downloaded at the time of install any ideas would be greatly appreciated [01:49] what version of flash player? [01:50] kingofswords: have you tried it in Firefox? [01:50] agc93: Ah, didnt see you ping me, thanks [01:50] kingofswords: can you give a PASTEBIN of the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|spark|swf' Thanks [01:51] agc93, 11.02 [01:51] ActionParsnip, sure [01:51] agc93: What is a dependency mismatch? Does that mean that I just need to manually find what it is dependent on? [01:51] It seems to be dependent on an older version of a package you have installed, which is odd [01:51] What are you trying to install? [01:52] well, i am trying to install that [01:52] libasound? [01:52] no, the 32 bit version = the program I use is 32 bit only [01:52] how can i get conky to start on boot up [01:52] ActionParsnip, agc93 http://pastebin.com/Pin3EJzf [01:52] vp18: does my command not fly? [01:52] vp18: use the command given to you above [01:53] not fly? [01:53] hey guys, sorry if i'm in the wrong channel but, i need to use IRC/mIRC at my college, but they have blocked 6667 port (i guess??). is there anyway i can use my home's internet connection as a proxy to connect to IRC servers? [01:53] ActionParsnip, ive just used bleachbit to clear my pc of unused files [01:53] hey, i think my package manger is bricked. trying to get mysql-server working. even if i uninstall it, it seems to still be running, so it won't reinstall, beacuse it will hang until i stop the process which should be running in the first place because i unstalled it. any ideas? [01:53] and Transit, I'm honestly not sure, sorry :( [01:53] give it to me again please [01:53] by mIRC i say XChat ^^ [01:54] kingofswords: by chrome you mean Google Chrome or Chromium browser¿ tried to disable flash hardware acceleration¿ [01:54] xangua, sry chromium [01:55] I was hopeing to find help with an install of ubuntu 12.04 64bit. I have it working on a flashdrive but when I tried to install it on a HDD for a toshiba p300 laptop the mouse or mouse pad will not work and all LAN function is lost. I did the install so that updates were downloaded at the time of install any ideas would be greatly appreciated [01:55] vp18: ln -s /usr/share/applications/conky.desktop ~/.config/autostart/conky.desktop copy that and paste to a terminal [01:55] kingofswords: I suggest you uninstall thse, enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin. It will give 64bit flash for your 64bit OS [01:55] acicula, 64bit didnt work [01:55] jinjonBoo: if you can SSH home, you can use irssi and IRC in terminal via SSH :) [01:56] Does Ubuntu use Xinerama, XrandR or TwinView by default for dual screens? [01:56] xangua, just diabled hardware acc'ln doesnt make differenc [01:57] JohnTeddy: depends on driver and hardware. What GPU are you using with what driver and Ubuntu version? [01:57] kingofswords: have you tried Firefox? [01:57] agc93: It's the built-in intel graphics. it's on my laptop. [01:57] 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) [01:58] ActionParsnip: hmmm ok thanks :) [01:58] agc93, ff seems better [01:58] JohnTeddy: Then my guess (I'm not 100%) would be that it would use XandR [01:59] Xinerama can be turned on, but I think TwinView is a NVIDIA-only thing [01:59] I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. My extra monitor has a much higher resolution than my laptop since it's bigger. Though when I drag my mouse from the bottom of my extra monitor to my laptop.. it won't let me. I have to raise the cursor to the resolution level where my laptop gets to. How can I fix this? [01:59] I'm not sure if I'm describing what is happening well, if you don't understand I can rephrase it. [01:59] hello ace send it to me again [02:00] vp18: just check the logs and then put it in a text file or something. [02:00] ActionParsnip: and does it work also on win32 ? [02:00] JohnTeddy: You can move the monitor's position in Displays menu, but I don't know of a way to have 100% of the edge map to 100% of the edge on mismatched resolutions [02:00] ActionParsnip: i mean, i'm not sure if i want to go to IRC through a console... [02:01] can't i use XChat anyway? [02:01] it wont let me === puff` is now known as puff [02:01] no root file system, what dous that mean [02:01] jinjonBoo: if you use the -X flag. Not sure how well it'll work over remote net connection. [02:02] vp18: ln -s /usr/share/applications/conky.desktop ~/.config/autostart/conky.desktop copy that and paste to a terminal [02:02] And this time, hang on to it [02:02] Hi my sound system has stopped... I run the command sudo alsa force-reload and than the command speaker-test -D plughw 0.0 -t sine it is running but there is no sound [02:03] how so, wylde ? [02:03] mwallacesd: have you tried running alsamixer from the terminal and making sure nothings muted [02:03] jinjonBoo: wylde's method allows you to forward X windows over an SSH connection [02:03] agc93, yes I tried and it is not muted [02:03] theoretically, allowing you to use remote applications on your local comp [02:03] Any sugestions? [02:04] mwallacesd: sorry I'm out. I haven't done much with sound :( [02:04] oke wtf, no root file system is defined, please correct this from the partitioning menu, i press ok and it show me the same error [02:04] jinjonBoo: -X allows xforwarding. if you connect using that flag eg. 'ssh -X server.ip.address' you can run individual x apps starting them from the command line. [02:04] any one else? [02:04] Hi my sound system has stopped... I run the command sudo alsa force-reload and than the command speaker-test -D plughw 0.0 -t sine it is running but there is no sound [02:04] how do i set which video card drivers to use within ubuntu? looks like they got rid of xorg.conf [02:05] adekto: are you in the process of installing? [02:05] !patience | mwallacesd [02:05] mwallacesd: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [02:05] unholycrab: no, its still used [02:05] yes [02:05] adekto: when you choose your partitions, one of them must have the mount point / [02:05] otherwise you cant install [02:05] i dont have any options [02:06] where are you in the installer adekto? [02:06] agc93: where is it? it isn't /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:06] Oo [02:06] unholycrab: it should be, so thats odd. Are you trying to use proprietary or open-source drivers. NVIDIA or ATI? [02:07] agc93: they got rid of xorg.conf [02:07] its VIA onboard video [02:07] but, thats irrelevant [02:07] wel i start it up in save grapics mode thats the only one that dousnt freeze up, then it start instal bar then no root file system [02:07] unholycrab: not fully, if one exists it will be obeyed [02:07] well, I still use Xorg.conf, so I'm not sure [02:07] adekto: did you choose a partition to install it on? [02:07] can i generate a xorg.conf using my running configuration? [02:07] on windows yes [02:08] on windows? [02:08] g drive [02:08] wubi [02:08] Oh right [02:08] unholycrab: if you use nvidia then yes [02:09] I've never used Wubi, but if you're in the installer at some point you should need to set mount points [02:09] ActionParsnip: im using an onboard VIA graohics chip [02:09] one of which needs to be "/" [02:09] and its not using the right drivers [02:09] its probably generic display drivers [02:09] have you tried using jockey-gtk (Additional drivers on the menu)? [02:09] see what it says? [02:09] ahh ok thanks guys [02:10] wylde_ thanks wilde [02:10] if all else fails and you're sure of what you're doing, you can try writing your own xorg.conf and specify a driver in there [02:10] unholycrab: you can use: Xorg -configure in a root recovery mode and use the skeleton file to make the xorg.conf file [02:10] thing is i had crashes and freezes befor and it finaly work today all of a sudden a week ago i installed it and i tint work, but then it was the wrong version and i forgot the pasword at this point [02:10] that is retarded. [02:10] agc93: VIA don't have any extra drivers, its already in the default install [02:10] nvm, actionparsnip's method is better [02:11] oh right. [02:11] agc93: no proprietary drivers [02:11] I use NVIDIA and ATI and S3's so I haven't used them [02:11] Hi all, I have a school windows environment and am running a pilot Ubuntu program. I am still using Windows DNS. My Ubuntu machines are not showing any entries in the DNS. Strangely, my windows machines can ping them via hostname, but Ubuntu machines cannot (except where the ubuntu machine being pinged has a fixed IP). I'd be really grateful for any help. Ping will not resolve either the simple host name or the fqdn. Thanks [02:11] what sude i do [02:11] brb [02:11] going to do this now [02:12] adekto: have you tried/can you just wipe the old ubuntu install and make a new one? [02:12] thats what i did [02:12] now i have this problem [02:12] free_js: if you run: cat /etc/resolv.conf are your DNS servers listed? [02:12] Right, and when you launch Wubi what happens/what do you do to get to this stage [02:12] Thanks I'll try it. [02:13] if i start wubi now it wil ask to unistal ubuntu [02:13] right, and if you choose to uninstall ubuntu? [02:13] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1746600 [02:14] this is the problem === sm1 is now known as sary [02:14] how can i minimize firefox ? [02:14] Hi ActionParsnip, yes the dns is listed [02:15] loneclock: click minimise in the top left of the screen.. [02:15] free_js: how about if you run: nslookup name where name is another ubuntu system? [02:16] ActionParsnip, there is none when i have it fullscreen [02:16] ActionParsnip, nvm i am retarded [02:16] loneclock: can't you press Esc to go out of fullscreen? [02:16] You can also use Alt-Space and choose Minimise to get the same effect [02:17] Salutation . [02:17] Does anyone know how I can determine the kernel version number from the vmlinuz file? Is there some way to do that without booting it? [02:17] er, is it possible to integrate Ubuntu in a Windows Server 2K3 domain, and have a static IP address, file sharing, etc? [02:17] I'll try it [02:17] why is the forum surch bugged === Htbrdd is now known as zz_Htbrdd [02:18] thomi: the file command may tell you [02:18] how can i find the files on my windows partition in ubuntu === DouglasA is now known as DouglasA` [02:18] is there a live boot cd that will boot as a pxe server to install ubuntu from lan (boot from lan pxe) [02:18] ActionParsnip: it does indeed, thanks [02:18] loneclock: you should be able to see the partition as a place in Computer [02:19] thomi: YAY [02:19] isn't odd that am unable to upload to online services , like imgur.com in Ubuntu .. but am able to in Windows/Mac OS X with the same ISP on the same Machine !

[02:21] sary: thats not an Ubuntu problem. Mine works just fine. Have you tried with different files? [02:21] server can't find it [02:21] Where should i look to determine the issue .. [02:21] agc93, no, where should i be looking? [02:21] loneclock: if you run: sudo fdisk -l do you see the NTFS partition [02:22] why is this not working, how come it worked 20 min ago [02:22] ActionParsnip: i changed the driver to "openchrome" apparently in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and its not making a difference [02:22] says there are no additional drivers in use [02:22] agc93: i have , but i should also mention that i have the same issue under Debian ! [02:22] and youtube videos still look like crap [02:22] If there is no live cd boot pxe server to install ubuntu iso images I was thinking about creating one, I just don't want to do something that's already done and working [02:23] adekto: usually that means something changed in the intervening 20 minutes [02:23] ActionParsnip, yes there are 2 ... [02:23] sacarlson: You can install ubuntu via PXE already [02:23] It just needs TFTP and NFS on a server somewhere on your network [02:23] agc93: from live cd you can set to pxe boot another system? [02:24] i mean i found the it on the forum but i canot open root.disk since its 30gb file [02:24] in fact it looks like it deleted xorg.conf [02:24] when i bootec the computer [02:24] agc93: were is the documentation for this live boot pxe server you speak of? [02:25] 4:24 in the morning, im pist and i got work [02:25] sacarlson: wait, so you want a client to be able to pxe boot from a server using only the live cd in the server? [02:25] loneclock: you can mount them then :) [02:25] agc93: yes [02:25] oh right. Sorry. Misinterpreted your first message. [02:25] agc93: that's ok [02:25] ActionParsnip, what is the command to do that? [02:25] !mount [02:25] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [02:26] agc93: I know we had them before but none are working anymore [02:26] cant anyone just give me a basic root.disk since wubi disk is oviusly broken [02:27] sacarlson: Now i think about it I can see why that would be handy [02:28] agc93: I plan to use openwrt to be setup as a pxe server to feed the iso file of ubuntu, it should only be about 20 meg or less === campanolix is now known as xcyclist [02:28] how do i find out what version of ubuntu i got in terminal, and i dont mean uname [02:28] Yeah I use a dedicated PXE boot server on my network so I just have an NFS share with all the images I want [02:28] !version | diluted [02:28] diluted: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [02:28] danke [02:29] At root I did apt-get -f dist-upgrade, but my GUI still shows I'm on 11.10. Was the 12.04 distribution aborted??? [02:29] xcyclist: if you run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image do you see the 3.2 kernel? [02:29] agc93: I've setup pxe boot severs also but found when I wanted to add some newer version of ubuntu it no longer worked, missing some driver in the iso [02:30] version 3.0.0 on x86/x86_64 [02:31] thats annoying. I haven't tried mine in a while so last one I tried would've been 11.04 and I think that worked [02:31] for all i know my computer is using the openchrome drivers, for the via chipset... but youtube videos still play like garbagte and the web bowser scrolls really bad [02:31] xcyclist: is that the only kernel you see in the output of the command I gave? [02:31] unholycrab: tried minitube? [02:31] ... [02:31] I was hoping if a supported package existed for pxe live boot that those problems could have patches to enable more or all to work or at least documented that they didn't work [02:31] 03:29 < ActionParsnip> xcyclist: if you run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image do you see the 3.2 kernel? [02:32] Yes. [02:32] No [02:32] hello is this the same site i was on before? [02:32] Isn't it weird that windows machines can ping the ubuntu when they are not in the dns? [02:32] xcyclist: so just the 3.0.0 kernel is output from the command I gave? [02:32] free_js are the Ubuntu machines in the windows machines ARP cache? [02:32] free_js: use nslookup and you will see the method used :) [02:32] Yes. [02:32] is theis the site that has a guy in red named Willie? [02:33] how do i see that? [02:33] Just the 3.0.0 kernel. [02:33] xcyclist: You could grab the alternate ISO and upgrade to Precise that way [02:33] on the windows box arp -a should do it from memory [02:33] i mean wille [02:33] No way to do it with apt-get? [02:33] princeofpeace22: huh? [02:33] wille the guys name is willie and he helped me out [02:34] ids theis #ubuntu from irc.freenode.net? [02:34] is this the one? [02:34] noone with that name online at the moment but this is #ubuntu, yes [02:34] yes they are (or it is - I only have one I can check for at present) [02:35] then pings might be working from the arp cache, bypassing DNS as a whole. Just a guess [02:35] ok if Wille nille comes on with a red username just tell him i had failed to install ubuntu with Dell computer on a usb stick but [02:35] xcyclist: its just an alternate way to upgrade [02:35] !upgrade | xcyclist [02:35] Is there a program in Lubuntu 12.04 to manage desktop backgrounds? I'm running the awesome window manager and am having problems changing mine, so any advice from someone with a similar setup would be greatly appreciated :) [02:35] xcyclist: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [02:36] free_js you could try running Wireshark on the windows box when you do the pings [02:36] i did get it installed using cd [02:36] princeofpeace22: wilee-nilee is on if thats who youre thinking of [02:36] not necessarily here, but in the room [02:36] but i had problems logging into Ubuntu 3D but got logged into the 2D version [02:36] princeofpeace22, whats up [02:36] there you go [02:36] Hmm. Funny, my other machine I just upgraded the same way, and that command you gave me shows it GOT the 3.2 kernel, so my laptop is being weird. [02:37] hey i didnt get my ubuntu installed with usb but did with cd [02:37] xcyclist: yeah sometimes it can be. [02:37] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the time. I'll go and look at UpgradeNotes now. [02:37] is there a way to set hotkeys from the cli? i want to make control alt t run terminator, not gnome-terminal...

My sound is not working anymore after a apt-get update / upgrade... Here is some results http://sprunge.us/SbVD AND http://sprunge.us/BhTQ AND FINALY http://sprunge.us/OGdI [02:39] hylian: nvm, you said *from* the command line.. [02:40] hey whats Nics? [02:40] loneclock: by running your filemanager with sudo pr gksu, you should then be able to copy the files over. i.e. gksu nautilus, should give you the option. [02:40] ace i just type it in the monitor and start it myself [02:40] princeofpeace22, you can type a few letters then hit the tab to complete [02:40] princeofpeace22, nick names the user names on the channel [02:41] wormmd: i am running openbox on my netbook. Unity is too much of a hog. printscreen runs scrot somehow automatically, but i can't find a way to run terminator from the control alt t standard for terminals in ubuntu. [02:41] what is wireshark? [02:41] i di that but a messed up ubun tu background with a folder showed upon it but not task bar or dock [02:41] !info wireshark | free_js [02:41] free_js: wireshark (source: wireshark): network traffic analyzer - GTK+ version. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.7-1 (precise), package size 801 kB, installed size 2138 kB [02:41] hylian: wait, why are you concerned about doing it from command line if you're going to be running a terminal in a window manager anyway? [02:41] princeofpeace22, then I see you in red like when I use yours, basically we are notified and we know who is being talked to. [02:41] wormmd: i want to run terminator from anywhere inside of openbox. [02:41] hylian: Openbox has it's own config file, I forget where... [02:42] hylian: maybe ~/.config/openbox/something.conf [02:42] wormmd: hmm, you think it's in the config file... i'll take a look. I know it has a auto file, but I created that myself... [02:42] cp is copy, do i just type paste to paste something in bash [02:43] i still dont understand what your talking about im not advanced with ubuntu [02:43] hylian: auto file? I think it's in a config file for openbox because I remember setting stuff like that before. [02:43] yet [02:43] wormmd: ~/.config/openbox if memory serves [02:43] Hi. If I have a Core i5, should I upgrade to the 12.10 kernel in 12.04 PPA to deal with that Intel GFX bug, or is that not a big issue? [02:43] but im an intermediate [02:43] !nic | princeofpeace22 [02:43] princeofpeace22: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [02:43] ActionParsnip: that's what I thought [02:43] hylian: what ActionParsnip said [02:43] ok [02:44] but again what is the full term for Nics? [02:44] loneclock: no, you'd run: sudo cp filename /path/to/folder [02:44] I'm looking to keep file systems across multiple contenents in sync with a tool based on inotify, but don't wish to use a network based file system. What are my options? [02:44] princeofpeace22: nickname [02:44] i dont like abbereviations they bug me to death [02:44] oh ok [02:44] wormmd: i see what you mean now, yes, it is in the rc.xml file. thank you! [02:44] loneclock, cp is copy yet you don't need a paste command as cp takes the input file and uses the thee second piece of input to know where to copy to. [02:44] hylian: that's the one! [02:44] but i tested the software on the cd and its said it had no issues [02:45] princeofpeace22: so do you say: hypertext htransfer protocol or do you say HTTP? [02:45] loneclock, for instance: cp [02:45] princeofpeace22, if you type in the first few letters of the name on the channel and hit the tab key it complets the nams you type in the message then. It shows up in red like you see this now or should anyway and we are notified you are addressing us , and the channel knows who you are talking to. This is not a ubuntu issue works the same with any OS [02:45] but im opk with what i have so thanks and have a good day i just came by to lwet you know i have successfuly installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS [02:46] loneclock, did I explain it alright? [02:46] oh ok [02:46] princeofpeace22, cool [02:46] hallo :-) [02:46] c_smith, do i have to type the whole directory name? i am trying to copy from one user to another [02:47] loneclock: do you have a desktop UI? [02:47] loneclock, yes, for instance: cp [02:47] hows ths? [02:48] loneclock, there isn't a paste command as the function is in cp. [02:49] so you got it ? [02:49] is it in red? [02:49] princeofpeace22: type the first few letters of the user's nickname and hit TAB, it will complete [02:49] loneclock, although if you have a GUI, it's better to use the file manager as root ("gksu nautilus" sans quotes for Ubuntu) to copy these files, but remember to exit after your task is done. [02:50] princeofpeace22, [02:50] wireshark is running, what am looking for? [02:50] hi [02:50] princeofpeace [02:50] do you have sny idea? [02:50] ok? [02:50] gcc-4.6-base:amd64 4.6.3-4 cannot be configured because gcc-4.6-base:i386 is in a different version (4.6.3-1ubuntu5) [02:50] still nothing on my side [02:50] princeofpeace22: the nickname of the user you want to address, not your own [02:50] darbe, just ask your question. [02:50] darbe: for starters, amd64 != i386 [02:50] oh ok ha ha [02:51] ActionParsnip, Hey [02:51] princeofpeace22: perfect :) [02:51] i got following error [02:51] gcc-4.6-base:amd64 4.6.3-4 cannot be configured because gcc-4.6-base:i386 is in a different version (4.6.3-1ubuntu5) [02:51] how can I fix it? [02:52] I have intel i7 but amd works [02:52] darbe, you need to get the same version of gcc-4.6-base:i386 as the one your trying to install [02:52] and install that version. [02:53] c_smith: ok i will try thanks [02:53] hey i have loaded gnome shell extendin [02:53] darbe, the versions need to be an exact match. [02:53] darbe, shouldn't be that hard. just so you know. [02:53] hello... i have an odd server question [02:53] ActionParsnip, how do i get to see my nickname color at work? [02:53] mmcgraw, just ask your question. [02:54] princeofpeace22: how do you mean? [02:54] hey i have loaded gnome shell extension but how to switch new interface ...? at login [02:54] mmcgraw, if someone knows, they try and help you. [02:54] my server blanks the screen after about 10 min [02:54] shaneo, yes, at the login screen. [02:54] ActionParsnip, everyone has green or whatever and mine is black [02:54] i have tried setterm and i have tried consoleblank=0 [02:54] shanky_ty, yes, at the login screen. [02:54] shaneo, sorry, wrong person. [02:55] princeofpeace22: your text to others will be normal colour [02:55] ActionParsnip, ok [02:56] ActionParsnip, i just like to let you know i had successfully installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS from cd i created [02:56] i am using 10.04.4 server [02:56] what *dm does Xubuntu use ?? [02:57] c_smith, thanks.. [02:57] ActionParsnip, But failed to to login into normal ubuntu login screen i had to switch to Ubuntu 2D [02:57] for sake of discussion, let's say i don't have X or a DE installed [02:58] I get this whenver I try to install something [02:58] https://gist.github.com/2927812 [02:58] ActionParsnip, in login screen before i type in my password i click on the round earth thing and selsct Ubuntu 2D [02:58] in ubuntu12 [02:58] hey guys, i want to reinstall mysql, but it's not working, it seems like it keeps running even after it's uninstalled [02:58] how the hell can I remove those two? [02:58] Question - When I run this command "find /media/NAS/motion/backdoor_cam -mtime +1 -exec mv {} /media/NAS/motion/archive/backdoor_cam \;" I expect it to move everything 1 day and older to the archive directory. But in the main directory, I still have files from the 13th, 12th, and 11th. I'm confused over why the 11th is still there... does the 11th not qualify for being 1 day or OLDER? Or is this expected behavior? [02:59] princeofpeace22: the last session is remembered so you don't have to keep setting the 2d session [02:59] i guess i can ask later cause its getting to demanding in here lol [03:00] ActionParsnip, but when im in the Ubuntu session it wil just come to the ubuntu background and theres a folder in the top right hand corner and there is no dock or task bar on the top its all messed up [03:01] i have to leave the channel, is there a safe way to post my email add in case anyone has any thoughts? [03:01] princeofpeace22: even the 2D? [03:01] nope [03:01] ActionParsnip, nope 2D is fine [03:02] ok [03:02] princeofpeace22: what video chip do you use? [03:02] Roasted_: I'd check the creation times etc.. [03:03] ActionParsnip, it has AMD Athlon 2 [03:03] ok I have to leave this in a minute.I guess I'll need to come back later... [03:03] princeofpeace22: thats the CPU, not the GPU [03:03] ActionParsnip, creation times are stamped for the 11th [03:03] princeofpeace22: the video hardware... [03:03] ActionParsnip, but for some reason i installed the wrong one i installed i386 [03:03] Roasted_: what about last nmodified maybe [03:03] princeofpeace22: thats fine, it will run [03:04] ActionParsnip, yeah, that is last modified actually. [03:04] princeofpeace22: what video chip do you use? [03:04] ActionParsnip, these files are video files from my video surveillance server. they're created on the fly and never touched again besides me viewing them back, so the date modified stamps don't change whatsoever. [03:04] ActionParsnip, i use Nvidia chip [03:04] ActionParsnip, I've let it run for a few days, and it always seems to keep 3 days... 6 7 8, 11 12 13, etc [03:05] Hey guys I have a question. My internet setup is kindof bad at the moment and something has been giving me a bit of packet loss that often prevents me from downloading big files. When I tried to install the FGLRX driver with jokey, an error occured and im just going to assume its because the big file was corrupted. Despite uninstalling FGLRX and rebooting, Jokey seems to have the fglrx file already on my computer. Where do I go to delete this file so I [03:05] can redownload it again? [03:05] ActionParsnip, Nvidia Geforce [03:05] 1600 series [03:06] Hi! :) I have a problem where 'socat' keeps closing, Is there any way to keep socat's connection alive under any circumstance? [03:06] ActionParsnip, 1600 series [03:07] hey guys, i just installed mysql, i want to make sure it's not running, hwo can i? [03:07] princeofpeace22: in the 2D session, run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [03:08] polygons: sudo service mysql status [03:08] if you just installed mysql, you can try to connect to it using the mysql command [03:08] ActionParsnip, thansk, it says unrecognized service [03:09] polygons: try tab completing the service name [03:09] ActionParsnip, but when i go to install it again, it won't work [03:09] did the install complee successfuly? [03:09] polygons: you could ask in #mysql [03:09] complete [03:10] ActionParsnip, it's not in there, they sent me to ubuntu actually :-). [03:10] greetings! anyone had experience (and success) getting an exchange 2010 account set up on ubuntu? [03:11] fauxtoniche: are you using evolution mail? [03:11] ActionParsnip, i think this is basically an package manager thing. when i go to install it, it will hang on setting up mysql-server until i hit "stop mysql" ,implying that it's running, although i don't see it. [03:11] polygons, try stop mysqld nto stop mysql [03:11] agc93: yes, using evolution [03:12] installed the MAPI plugin too but it seems to only support through 2007... [03:12] Rallias, thanks, but it says unknown process, i'll do it one more time with you guys around :-) [03:13] polygons, ps -Af | grep mysql [03:14] fauxtoniche: you could also try #evolution on irc.gnome.org [03:14] rallias, that's interesting, i started the install, let me uninstall and check [03:14] agc93: i'll give them a try. thanks for the tip! [03:15] no probs [03:15] fauxtoniche: evolution may be able to do it [03:16] actionparsnip: i think it can, but I either have wrong information in the configuration or it doesn't support exchange 2010 [03:16] i'm getting "authentication failed. mapiLogonProvider: network error" === rbrooks_ is now known as rbrooks [03:18] !ciao [03:20] rallia [03:20] fauxtoniche: MS are great at keeping 3rd parties out.

[03:21] polygons: thats just the grep running [03:21] polygons, those two processes are just your grep processes looking for mysql [03:22] ActionParsnip, damn [03:22] its not actually tunning [03:22] runnin* [03:22] polygons: you can see what's happening with: ps -ef | grep mysql | grep -v grep [03:22] ActionParsnip, what's that commnand? [03:23] it looks through the processses [03:23] looking for grep [03:23] but removing the grep process itself [03:23] polygons: shows the processes but will not show the grep running :) [03:23] ActionParsnip, Rallias, agc93, ok, so now i know that it's not running, at least anyway we can see, so now i want to install it [03:24] ActionParsnip, Rallias, agc93, maybe i should first check that the package isn't installed? [03:25] probably a good idea. Is it showing in Synaptic or APT? [03:25] is there any good webcam software for Ubuntu that records audio and video in sync? [03:25] ActionParsnip, Rallias, agc93, but i'm pretty sure i have all the mysql stuff really uninstalled, it doesn't show in syanptic [03:26] ActionParsnip, Rallias, agc93, yeah it doesn't show in apt, or synampitc, and its not running as a process or as a service, so i' m going to install and it won't work [03:26] <`thomas> hello -- i can play sounds (e.g. aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav) as root but not as my normal user (which is in the audio group) -- any ideas?

[03:36] !aptitude [03:36] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. [03:37] majnoon: nprmally the login manager hasa 'query' feature to find other xdmcp servers on the network, or you use the query option when you startx [03:37] majnoon: thats getting rather.. well.. obsolete also. ;) [03:37] no see any settings though :( [03:37] Hi All. I have a linux based IP camera which records to a Ubuntu computer. I had to reboot the Ubuntu computer and it didnt auto mount the disk that the IP camera recordings go to. When I did mount the target disk the cameras record, but report "Stale File Handle" - Its to do with the Ubuntu box, and no amount of rebooting and remounting seems to fix this message. Google solutions so far have [03:37] not worked. Anyone able to help please? [03:37] Dr_Willis: I had a badly installed postgres, aptitude purge then install wouldn't install the /etc/postgreql directory. 'apt-get remove --purge' and then apt-get install' did. [03:37] Im not sure if lighdm even has xdmcp featgures [03:37] works ok with xming [03:37] ok maybe a better idea can raid partitions be mounted as loop devices?

[03:49] yupe [03:49] X230 [03:49] unholycrab: gah, minitube is great. Doesn't use flash :) [03:49] just got it 2 days ago, then installed 12.04 [03:49] very slow and the fan was constantly on [03:49] i need help setting up a password for phpmyadmin, anyone please? [03:49] ubuntu 12.04 on the older x220 (i7-2640m) was quick … but not on the new x230 [03:49] My GPG agent is not working in my session. When I run a gpg command on the command line, a pop up comes up three times but is closed immediately and then the action fails. "gpg: public key decryption failed: bad passphrase" and "gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available". What am I missing here on lucid? [03:50] can you help [03:50] So what is the nice clean way of installing CPAN modules on Ubuntu [03:50] luckylee1, there's intel bugs of some sort graphically speaking with the default kernel in 12.04, I can't say for sure if that's your issue, but you could look at http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/uq210/running_1210_kernel_on_1204_the_supported_way/ and see if it helps [03:50] Should I use the perl supplied CPAN application or apt-get? [03:50] I think the pop up is supposed to be for entering my password but there is no time to do that. [03:50] reading it … so this affects all IVY bridges ? [03:51] this is like going back to 80486 slow … doesn't feel like i7-2640 when running linux ubuntu (the old x220 was fine) [03:51] luckylee1, odd. [03:51] it's super duper slow it's killing me … even boot, starting X, shutting down [03:52] try the updated kernel? also I know on my U31SD I had to switch to GPT instead of MBR, or else I got horrific drive performance. [03:52] also crashes when waking up from Standby [03:52] I haven't tried hibernating it [03:52] luckylee1, eh, for me hibernate works, but standby reboots on wake, so I can't help there. I just switched everything to hibernate ;) [03:52] i assume it will also fail because it crashed on standb (just bllack screen no kernel panic whatsoever) [03:53] crond: x230 ?? [03:53] I'm talking about lenovo x230 [03:53] luckylee1, I know. Try the new kernel. [03:54] damn I just bought this new laptop and now I have to install the new kernel already ? [03:55] why didn't ubuntu wait until everything is stable [03:55] this is bad [03:55] ubuntu is now buggier than Windows ME :( My new laptop with Ivy Bridge crashes [03:55] and also very slow [03:56] I want to dual boot windows. is there a guide or tips to do this correctly? [03:56] ok nobody can help me here this is a waste of time … kthxbye [03:56] rinzler, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [03:57] crond: thanks [03:57] rinzler, for the most part, linux finds and dual boots windows [03:57] rinzler, you need to make sure not to delete windows when installing though [03:58] rinzler, and backup anything of value [03:58] rinzler, while unlikely, anything can go wrong [03:59] smw: I've already got linux. I'm wanting to know the intricacies of installing windows as my second OS. [03:59] rinzler, step one, figure out how to install windows without destroying linux. [03:59] rinzler, step 2, restore grub [03:59] yeah, windows can be a very destructive install process [03:59] rinzler, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [04:00] nice smw, i was just looking for the guide I followed. Which was that one :) [04:00] anyone know where I can get libssl1.0.0 for 64bit? [04:00] whenever I try an install it, I get 404 not found [04:01] its driving me nuts [04:01] my machine actually can choose which HD to boot from, so I'll just use a different HD [04:01] rinzler, you can then run update-grub so linux finds windows [04:02] i did setup a linux machine inside a virtualbox, a bridged one. I did founded the eth interface at the vm enabled it and its working, i can ping from inside out and vise-versa. What i cant do is access the internet inside the vm. Any tips? [04:03] Is the Ubuntu Custimization Kit suitable for doing install CD's too, or is it really Live CD Specific [04:03] ? [04:03] how do I stop my headless console from making my monitor go to sleep after a few minutes? [04:03] not headless, but No X configured [04:07] hi, where is ubuntu's keymap files, there is no /usr/share/keymaps/ directory in ubuntu. where is it? [04:07] anyone can help? [04:07] sudo updatedb && locate keymaps ? [04:08] michyd: /lib/udev/keymaps/ seems to contain keymaps. [04:08] michyd: /usr/share/X11/xkb/keymap as well [04:09] thanks, i know. but which one i should modify? [04:09] remember that xmodmap is very useful for this [04:09] what's the difference? [04:10] between xmodmap? or between all the files? [04:10] agc93, thanks, but xmodmap is can only used in X11. [04:10] Are there any good applications for recording webcam video for Ubuntu? No luck with guvcview and cheese [04:10] ah right. never needed it outside of X11 so I had no idea. [04:10] I just want to swap caps_lock and ctrl_l for both X11 and console. [04:11] robertzaccour: no luck meaning what? [04:12] badluck [04:13] i'll trying..., thanks all. [04:13] Dr_Willis, guvcview records the audo and video out of sync and cheese just freezes and has a horrible hissing sound [04:16] robertzaccour: vlc can do it [04:16] robertzaccour: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=143732 [04:17] i wonder if theres not some deeper bugs in the driver causing issues [04:17] robertzaccour: so can ffmpeg http://superuser.com/questions/200277/ffmpeg-fast-motion-webcam-recording [04:18] i always found tghe app 'webcamstudio' (not in the repos) fun for doing things with a webcam [04:19] hello! i was updating my system today and all of a sudden im getting an error having to do with google's repo for chrome..the error is as follows..W: GPG error: http://dl.google.com stable Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG A040830F7FAC5991 Google, Inc.

[04:26] ok [04:27] but honestly who's worried about security LOL [04:27] sacarlson: i have done that now its showing error like this cp: missing destination file operand after `file.php' [04:27] Raji: whats the exact commandline you are using [04:27] Raji: dude that was just an example use your file path [04:27] security doesn't need to exist if theirs nothing to hide LOL [04:27] !ot | nate_ [04:27] nate_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:28] so PHP is related ? [04:28] Привет! [04:28] sacarlson: I dont know much about ubuntu or linux i just started 2 days b4 [04:28] Есть кто по русски говорит? [04:28] !ru | Artem [04:29] Artem: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [04:29] Dr_Willis: rajiv@rajiv:~$ i am using this command line [04:29] Raji: sudo cp file.php /var/www [04:29] so who do you guys think is the best PHP coder :) [04:29] nate_, stop the chit chat [04:29] sacarlson: you may an tto read up on some bash tutorials also. [04:29] nate_: that's offtopic here, this is support only [04:29] is anyone using broadcom-sta ... im getting pretty poor performance compared to windows [04:29] nate_, #ubuntu-offtopic as you have been told many times now [04:30] taylor_: tried disabling ipv6 ? [04:30] will do... one sec.. [04:30] taylor_: there are also lines you can add to /etc/sysctl.conf which can help [04:30] ActionParsnip: I have done that now showing like this rajiv@rajiv:~$ sudo cp file.php /var/www cp: cannot stat `file.php': No such file or directory [04:30] will disabling ip 6 in network-manager do it.. [04:31] Dr_Willis: well this works sudo cp ./zamgo.txt /var/www/zamgo.txt so is there something wrong with this method? [04:31] Hello, Trying to resolve freezing in Ubuntu 12.04. I believe its a kernel version problem. But I'm having trouble updating the kernel because of unmet dependencies. Any help would be appreciated. [04:32] disabling ipv6 helped with latency but not with throughput... [04:32] sacarlson: permissions and ownership on the file many be wrong [04:33] ActionParsnip: disabling ipv6 helped with latency but not with throughput.. [04:33] Raji: well, is the file you want to copy in /home/rajiv ? [04:34] Dr_Willis: oh so it will copy but may not have perms set for www-data to access it. this is true [04:34] polardude1983: ? more info [04:35] taylor_: run: gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf and add these lines: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1040243 [04:35] taylor_: save the new file, close gedit then run: sudo sysctl -p [04:35] Dr_Willis: but normaly the perms of packages downloaded to install for apache and php have perms already set, just not the owner [04:36] celthunder: 12.04 using Nvidia driver, and currently using linux kernel version 3.2.0-24. Thought i would try to upgrade to 3.4.0 [04:37] ActionParsnip: should i restart the computer now [04:37] celthunder: here is what is displayed in the terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/1040247/ [04:37] ActionParsnip: dont much about that somebody told me to run that command and i searcched that file but idint find it in that folder [04:37] polardude1983: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.4.2.tar.bz2 cp your config from /proc/config.gz and you can make --oldconfig [04:38] polardude1983: or start over and make menuconfig [04:38] Raji: then that's why. Where is the file located? [04:38] taylor_: the sysctl -p command means you don't have to. Linux is designed to not be rebooted ;). This isn't windows [04:39] polardude1983: and what happens if you apt-get -f install as it says? [04:40] celthunder: it says the same thing again [04:40] ActionParsnip: Didnt make that much of a difference [04:40] hi all, im wondering how i would remove grub loader. I am dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu studio. i have used easybcd to assign windows boot loader but if i select ubuntu from os list it first goes int grub menu and i have to select to boot into ubuntu again. [04:41] polardude1983: probably because its trying to install an older version of stuff [04:42] polardude1983: apt-get update [04:42] taylor_: if you use a different DNS, is it faster. Or are you only testing LAN? [04:42] im testing it on the lan.. [04:42] celthunder: done the sudo apt-get update :) [04:42] polardude1983: what did you do to install kde? [04:42] bryce: I guess you could set the grub loader side to just default to boot to ubuntu since you now decide in your windows 7 loader what you want to boot [04:43] celthunder: never installed KDE. currently using Unity 3d [04:43] sacarlson: how do i do that? [04:43] or just let grub manage the bootloading.. [04:44] polardude1983: ...you have kde-runtime and libplasma3... apt-get remove them i guess. you dont really need either without kde [04:44] its so much easier for my kids if i let windows do it. they are very young and the big basic print is much simpler. [04:44] bryce: after ubuntu boots you can install grub-customizer to provide you a gui to change grub default boot http://www.ubuntugeek.com/grub-customizer-graphical-interface-to-configure-the-grub2burg-settings.html [04:44] thank you sacarlson [04:44] ActionParsnip: Actually my problem is that i am a web developer and i want create a php page and run it using lamp server but i am not able to save my page in /var/www then only i can run it [04:45] bryce: should be able to set your timeout to 0 or showmenu to hidden and youll never see it [04:45] Anyone able to help me with a touchscreen driver problem in Ubuntu 12.04 [04:45] how would i do that with terminal? [04:45] Raji: you want only you to be able to run it or you want everyone to [04:46] celthunder: won't let me remove them says i have unmet dependencies again lol [04:46] bryce: look in /etc/grub.d/ i think...im still on legacy grub [04:46] polardude1983: yay welcome to dependancy hell [04:46] bryce: those settings for timeout and quite to not see menu are also settings that can be set in grub-customizer [04:46] ActionParsnip: I am not sure about the insatallation about the packege. I have done it through tasksel please direct me some other way to check its right or not [04:46] !grub2 | bryce [04:46] bryce: 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) [04:47] celthunder: Somehow one way or another I get stuff like this :( [04:47] its a good idea to learn some grub2 basics befor messing eith it. [04:47] celthunder: No i just want to run and develop it from there [04:48] ActionParsnip, hey you on? [04:48] all this is the first time, I have pinged a forum. Is there a protocol for asking a question? [04:48] polardude1983: try using aptitude it handles crap better i think [04:48] gcadenaiii: just ask in clear concice terms. ;) [04:49] !ask | gcadenaiii [04:49] gcadenaiii: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [04:49] aptitude can have issues these days in some cases [04:49] gcadenaiii: this isnt a forum, its irc and just ask [04:49] !aptitude [04:49] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. [04:49] hi [04:49] ActionParsnip, hey i figured out how to run ubnu in regular session! [04:49] what's a good way to check the model of my video card from console? [04:49] Thanks!

[04:50] ActionParsnip, I figured out how to adjust ubuntu to run in regular session! [04:50] Dr_Willis: i use neither and multi arch installs arnt good anyway. thats what kvm and chroots are for [04:50] * Dr_Willis wonders what a 'regular' session is./ [04:51] I am not sure about the insatallation about the packege. I have done it through tasksel please direct me some other way to check its right or not [04:51] ActionParsnip, all i had to do was go into bios setup and set video memory apture size to 32- bit! [04:51] does anyone know how to improve the throughput of broadcom-sta driver [04:52] Raji: what package [04:52] taylor_, celthunder but that would only give me the chipset rather than the model of my card, right? [04:52] just get wireless [04:52] also how do i set chrome as defualt for xfce [04:52] mun: depends often you get both. [04:52] celthunder: damn computer froze :( [04:52] polardude1983: happens.

[04:53] ActionParsnip: but its showing a locked sysmbol [04:53] get Netgear WNA 1000 wireless router and also buy Netgear WNA 1100 wireless 150 N usb Adapter [04:54] bryce: xdg-mime default [04:54] Raji: so chmod it [04:54] brb === Guest20452 is now known as Octane [04:55] Raji: templetes are 'blank' forms for you to copy and edit.. [04:55] polardude1983: i dont use ubuntu or apt so no idea how to get you out of dependancy hell. [04:55] if you have more than 2MB downlod spthen go into router login.net and st security password as a Wpa2 AES key [04:55] celthunder: what do you use opensuse? slackware? === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest55225 [04:55] Raji: sudo cp /usr/share/geany/templates/files/File.php /var/www [04:56] youll get interne seed fast! [04:56] internet speed! [04:56] polardude1983: archlinux lfs freebsd and occassionally gentoo [04:57] polardude1983: why? [04:57] celthunder: just curious :) [04:57] you must also have any propriertary drivers activated [04:57] do you guys know where ubuntu stores the wl driver ... i want to try to compile it and replace it [04:57] taylor_: /lib/modules/ probably [04:57] My phone doesn't automount and I don't know how to manually mount it and can't seem to find any good answers for 12.04 on how to do it, it's recognized as a mass storage device in lsusb but what do I do from there? [04:57] or /usr/lib/modules [04:58] and have installed the right modem driver for ubuntu debian its not KDE [04:58] airlynx: are you using udev or no? [04:58] its GTK [04:58] celthunder: I don't think so, not really sure [04:58] celthunder: Now i have copied it to www now what i have o do [04:58] airlynx: ok then there are other things that take care of automounting. [04:58] and must havwe t=it to open in your Ubuntu Software Manager [04:59] Raji: chmod it and/or chown it [04:59] celthunder: I don't even really care if it automounts or not, I just need to get into it to transfer some files, not something I do very often [04:59] celthunder: can you tell me elaborately how to do it [04:59] Why doesn't this work? $ ssh remotehost "ps | less" It runs the ps command but immediately exits without running less. I have a suspicion that the pipe isn't working. [05:00] hey do tyou have your usb plugged into your modem? [05:00] airlynx: mount /dev/phonedevicedrive1 /mnt [05:00] is the driver in updates/dkms the right one> [05:00] ? [05:00] try unplugging ang replugging your modem cable back in [05:00] celthunder: Well i am going to try some stuff thanks [05:00] celthunder, that's where I'm lost, what /dev/phonedevicedrive1 would it be or how do I find out? [05:00] farkas: or less is running on the remote and exiting due to that fact. [05:00] farkas: perhaps ssh command | less [05:01] and disable other ueless modem drivers that you arent usin g [05:01] airlynx: ls /dev |grep sd [05:01] im going to lose you guys when i try to recompile this... brb [05:01] airlynx: whatever ones arent your hard drive is your phone [05:01] Dr_Willis: Wow I'm an idiot. Thanks lol [05:01] such as libdrivers and enable the broadcom driver [05:01] Dr_Willis: It worked [05:01] farkas: your quotessent it all to the remote [05:02] Is it possible to modify the icons on the Unity launcher? [05:02] Froodle: probably [05:02] froo you can use differnt icon themes [05:02] celthunder, they are all sda or sdb (I have an external drive plugged in right now, so that's probably sdb) [05:02] airlynx: is your phone set to mountable in the phones os [05:02] ok adious [05:03] amigos [05:03] I had in mind to swap to user-generated icons. [05:03] celthunder, yes, when I plug it in it asks if I want to just charge or connect to the PC [05:03] Froodle: youwould need to make your own theme. or custome .desktop files i belive [05:03] celthunder, if I select to just charge then it shows up in lsusb as a modem [05:03] airlynx: connect to pc is usually the phone developers shitty software stuff [05:03] Got a tutorial link on that? [05:03] airlynx: select mount as disk drive [05:04] !theme [05:04] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [05:04] Awesome, thanks. [05:04] celthunder, I've been able to do it before without using any 3rd party software [05:05] airlynx: you shouldnt need any [05:05] celthunder, select mount as disk drive? in the phone? [05:06] celthunder: i have read the properties of that file and its written i am not the owner of that it root but my account is administrator account [05:06] airlynx: yeah [05:06] !permissions | Raji [05:06] celthunder: what should i do [05:06] Raji: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [05:07] Raji: chmod 755 is pretty generic should work [05:07] celthunder, I dont anything like that in the settings anywhere [05:07] airlynx: what os is your phone [05:08] celthunder, that is questionable, it's a Samsung Seek, it runs Java apps, lol [05:08] celthunder: so waht i shoud write in terminal sudo chmod 755 /var/www/file.php === tensorpudding`` is now known as tensorpudding [05:09] airlynx: lol good luck. basically once the phone introduces itself as a drive itll show up in /dev [05:10] celthunder, okay thanks, at least I have some idea of whats wrong now [05:13] hi [05:13] recompiling the broadcom driver with the source from the website solved the problem [05:13] who knows about VPN connection? [05:13] !vpn [05:13] For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [05:13] i am looking for a free host from foreigner country [05:14] shahriyarguliyev, that has nothing to do with ubuntu support [05:14] Dr_Willis, thanks for recommendation but i know what is VPN [05:14] I don't know about any free that is any good, but at private tunnel you get 500GB traffic for 50 US $ [05:14] shahriyarguliyev, wrong place to ask [05:14] bazhang, I thought you should know [05:15] shahriyarguliyev: buy a vps somewhere and make a tunnel cheapest way to do it [05:15] celthunder: rajiv@rajiv:~$ /home/public$ chmod 755 file.php bash: /home/public$: No such file or directory [05:15] been using btguard here. :0 but its not free.. doubt any are free these days [05:15] I have a quick question about installing packages from source. Specfically the google python libray python-gdata. [05:16] i have copied that file into public folder in home [05:16] I use vyprvpn [05:16] Raji: so file.php doesnt exist use exact locaiton or cd to the dir first [05:16] Raji: you may wan tto learn some bash basics. You are doing rather fundamentals typos and mistakes [05:16] Raji: or use relative location [05:16] my cards are maxed out, so looking for a free host [05:16] !ot | shahriyarguliyev [05:16] shahriyarguliyev: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [05:16] shahriyarguliyev: free host for what? [05:16] shahriyarguliyev, stop asking here [05:16] I'm on Lucid right now and the latest version from official repos is 1.xx.xx. Apparently I need 2+ for upload support. [05:16] bazhang, this is also ubuntu related q! stop dazzling on me [05:17] it wasn't that a big deal jesus... [05:17] hey there, I'm having problems with dependencies, and at the bottom is an install that wants to remove a bunch of software http://pastebin.com/XKhC8AZX [05:17] If I would click yes, is there a simple way to reverse things again? [05:18] Ongabonga: reinstall them but likely you dont need them or theyre outdated [05:18] or theyre replaced by what youre installing [05:18] example udev and system-toolsd [05:18] Hello Room!!!!!!! [05:18] you dont need both === DeviceZer0 is now known as hash [05:19] daslinkard: hello [05:19] celthunter, thank you for the reply, I'll give it a try [05:19] how are you pb3? === hash is now known as DeviceZer0 [05:19] celthunder: chmod: changing permissions of `file.php': Operation not permitted [05:19] daslinkard: not bad bro. not bad. you? [05:20] I'm good...loving the chat rooms! [05:20] celthunder: i have done that now it showing this error [05:20] Raji: so do it as root and as someone else said rtfm this is basic stuff you should know about [05:20] Raji: What are you trying to do? [05:20] daslinkard, ubuntu support question? [05:21] Raji: paste the exact command you are using. [05:21] daslinkard: you been using ubuntu for a while?

[05:22] bazhang: +1. Although I agree that it's a good thing to do your homework celthunder [05:22] celthunder, the bit about rt <>m [05:22] daslinkard: sweet man. what version of ubuntu are you on atm [05:23] pb3: 11.10....I went up to 12.04 on my desktop but had A LOT of system freezes [05:23] Raji: i strongly reccomend spending at least an hr or so,, reading through some 'beginner bash guides' [05:23] pb3: I am php developer and i have just started ubuntu 2 days before i have installed lamp server using sudo tasksel and now iam not able to save any php file in var/www/ [05:23] daslinkard: yeah I am on 10.04 (LinuxMint 9 actually). I tried 12, but didn't care for the new desktop. [05:24] Raji: is the lamp server going to be devlopment only? [05:24] Raji: it was also mentioned earlier that your user who is altering the files, should be in the www-data group. then they could alter the files (i think) [05:24] mint is not 10.04 or ubuntu [05:24] !mintsupport [05:24] mint is mint [05:24] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [05:24] pb3: I was the exact same way....right now there seems to be too many bugs in the system...when does the support run out for 10.04? [05:24] Raji: probably because you arent root. if you want a lazy fix chown /var/www into a group you and apache are in and then change the group permissions [05:25] Raji: k. I won't be too much help for you. Stay with it. It gets easier. [05:25] wylde_: yes [05:25] daslinkard: April 2013 i think (I know it's 2013) [05:25] hi [05:25] teekay: hello!

[05:26] <---- not that it matters....as I use 11.10 [05:26] 10.04 is supported. It's an LTS [05:26] !10.04 [05:26] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu.

[05:26] chelogui: NVIDIA supports 3D drivers, what are your Video Card? [05:26] Raji: easy way is to edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and set the docroot to a directory in your users $HOME like /home/username/public_html [05:26] can someone help me join anonymous on irc? [05:27] teekay: huh? [05:27] Raji: then you don't jhave to worry about permissions [05:27] teekay we don't know you, so you are fine. [05:27] teekay: not really ubuntu relateed.. perahsps ask in #freenode [05:27] shahriyarguliyev : I think it's Intel [05:28] Raji: you'll have to 'sudo service apache2 restart' after you make the changes to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default though [05:28] daslinkard: yeah I started with ubunt about 5 years ago, but switched over to mint 2 years later (Mint 6). I like it because it's a bit more polished but I can use all the ubuntu packages, etc. [05:29] pb3: I started with Mint Julia and loved it for the brief time that I used it but then decided to switch to Ubuntu after speaking more and more with one of my friends [05:29] I'm still an Ubuntu user but the best derivative I've tried was Pinguy. That's a polished package, right there. Not as well supported, though. [05:30] daslinkard: Oh sweet. Yeah I love Isadora. What specifically made you want to switch back? [05:30] agc93: hmmm haven't heard of that one. [05:30] hmmm I wonder if replacing the actual /var/www directory with a symlink to to the $HOME/public_html would work.. [05:30] Yeah it's not very big. It's basically Ubuntu massaged, plus running Enlightenment and a different set of defaults [05:30] wylde_: or he could put his user in the www-data group i belive.. [05:30] wylde_: As long as you have followsymlink on [05:31] !offtopic [05:31] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [05:31] pb3: The biggest thing was the peer pressure to be with the rest of them [05:31] lol [05:31] Dr_Willis: yep that too, or learn about file perms :) [05:31] wylde_: or enble gthe home .html/www features.. [05:31] wylde_: I put symbolic links in /var/www and know that works, I never tried to replace the whole directory [05:31] wylde_: using www.data grioup was mentioned like 2hrs ago to him. ;) [05:31] agc93: k cool [05:32] daslinkard: lol. yeah I can get that. [05:32] Dr_Willis: yeah, I figured as much, have just been watching the tail end of the convo. [05:32] pb3: Now I'm trying to become fluent in Linux....trying to work the CLI...I've thought about going to Fedora for the similarity in RHEL === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [05:32] i rarely use groups. for my small home lan. so ive been quiet. ;) [05:33] hi [05:33] there is something wrong with my wifi [05:33] pb3: I've got 15 years of Windows experience and it is sometimes frustrating not necessarily alwaysk knowing the answers to the issues...but Google is my friend...and the forums. [05:33] daslinkard, pb3 chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [05:33] savr: What's going on with your wi-fi? [05:33] I can not connect to secure networks in ubuntu. If I boot into windows I can [05:33] I can connect to the network via ethernet [05:33] savr: open networks do work however? [05:34] whats your network secured with? [05:34] Dr_Willis, yes [05:34] WEP [05:34] savr: did you try wicd with wpa-supplicant? that seems to work better for me with wifi [05:34] K. Here is my support question: What's the worst thing that can happen if I make a deb from source on a package version taht is not officially supported by my current release (ie the package is a whole version ahead of what the same package that is listed in the repos) [05:34] sorry [05:34] WPA [05:34] halp! How can I install oracle java? [05:34] it use to work yesterday [05:34] i have been using a program called devede for DVD authoring, which uses mencoder and a bunch of other libs... since i did an in-place upgrade from maverick to precise, that package has stopped working... is it possible that the in-place OS upgrade broke it? should i try wiping and reinstalling precise from scratch? [05:34] I followed some instructions I found for JDK7 + Ubuntu [05:34] but it broke [05:34] !java | jamescarr and stop with the help! [05:34] jamescarr and stop with the help!: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [05:34] then the network was rename while I was connected [05:34] pb3: it won't run. [05:34] and I can not connect since [05:35] I can connect but I can not even ping the router [05:35] Dr_Willis, I didn't say "help", I was addressing the user Halp [05:35] but thanks :) [05:35] hi, I've seen that ubuntu 12.04 autodetects the scx-4623f printer. Can anyone help me to tell which package contains the /etc/cups/ppd/Samsung_SCX-4623_Series.ppd file ? [05:35] wylde_: can I foobar other dependencies. I guess the biggest question is how hard is it to roll back? [05:35] and entering the wrong password leads to a connection failure [05:35] savr: in wicd you can try all or most posiblites of encryption drivers that are selectable in the gui [05:35] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [05:35] how slove this E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [05:35] On your router, change the WPA2 setting to TKIP and not AES. [05:35] savr: On your router, change the WPA2 setting to TKIP and not AES. [05:35] Guys is there something like this: http://www.tamilcreation.com/forum/showthread.php?41481-Guide-How-to-Remove-Hardcoded-Subtitles : but for ubuntu? [05:36] pb3: nope, worst thing it could do that way is add dep packages I imagine [05:36] daslinkard, okay [05:36] sdfsd64: check the ffmpeg and mencoder forums/faqs would be where id look [05:36] savr: if you fail to get an ip address from network-manager then your encryption isn't getting decoded [05:37] sacarlson, I do get an IP and it matches both on the router and ifconfig [05:37] wylde_: k. [05:37] pb3: if you use checkinstall it makes a package that can be managed with whatever package manager you like. [05:37] savr: oh I could be wrong then I guess encryption is done after they give you an IP? [05:37] !checkinstall | pb3 [05:37] pb3: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [05:38] how slove this E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [05:38] wylde_: Yeah I was just reading up on checkinstall. I saw that it "Because the package has no notion of dependencies we could install it on any machine" [05:38] that is a cool command.

[05:41] Ok going to try to connect via wicd [05:41] brb [05:42] sup [05:42] pc-moon: you need to configure your FQDN ...

[05:44] i'll read and back [05:44] pc-moon: once you have that set, 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure qmail' [05:45] wicd is telling me I have a bad password [05:45] Package `qmai' is not installed and no info is available. [05:45] yet the password is correct === savr_ is now known as savr [05:45] pb3: meaning a non ubuntu repo? [05:45] pb3: what effects are you trying to avoid? [05:46] wylde_: no an ubuntu repo, just for a newer version than what I am running currently. [05:46] pb3: if you're looking to resolve dependencies first try using 'sudo apt-get build-dep ' [05:47] agc93: trying to avoid foobaring my system by grabbing packages that don't play nice with my current release [05:47] wylde_: good to know [05:47] pb3: I'd suggest first enabling the backports repo, 'sudo apt-get update' then run 'sudo apt-get build-dep ' [05:47] pb3: You can try downloading the deb from the repo's but installation will still actually make changes [05:48] or you can use apt-get's simulate option if you want to see the effects that would occur. [05:48] agc93: can you download the deb from a repo over http in a browser? or do I need to use apt-get, adding the repo, etc. [05:48] pb3: see http://packages.ubuntu.com ;) [05:49] what wylde said [05:49] :P or you can find a local repo for example [05:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1040309/ [05:49] wylde_: thanks [05:50] agc93: thanks too [05:50] pc-moon: you have a typo.... qmai should be qmail === ezri is now known as dax [05:52] see http://paste.ubuntu.com/1040311/ [05:52] Dr_Willis: i got this error message waiting apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName [05:53] wylde_: i got this error msg waiting apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName [05:53] pc-moon: Your system needs to have a fully qualified domain name (fqdn) in order to install the var-qmail packages. <---- looks like you still haven't fixed the first issue.

[05:58] Chat7980: no, ask in #mac unless it's ubuntu related [05:58] http://pastebin.com/3fwc8dEi [05:58] Raji: Add like your-local-ip foobar in your /etc/hosts - ie. 192.168.0.10 foobar foobar.local and your apache-startup will be fine and dandy [05:58] without rebooting [05:58] I have an iMac with an external drive that I partitioned for Time Machine and Ubuntu. It worked up until I tried to start from my Mac HD again, which doesn't work. It gives me a black screen after the grub menu reaches timeout over Mac OS X (64-bit). How can I fix this? [05:58] nate_: kill, killall, xkill are commonly used tto kill programs [05:59] OpenTokix: Can you tell me the methow to do that [05:59] methd [05:59] Raji: method? - Edit the /etc/hosts as root and then restart apache [06:00] look at http://pastebin.com/3fwc8dEi a little closer it uses signals and infinite while loop so I cann't just kill it so easily is there any other way then rebooting [06:01] wylde_: That did it. I found the deb package I needed, installed it just fine. Awesome. You're the man (or woman) ;) === weebl-_ is now known as azzz === azzz is now known as azzzzz [06:01] Chat7980: what is your issue exactly? [06:02] When reaching the grub boot menu, the default is Mac OS X but booting from it brings up a black screen. [06:03] Chat7980: this question is not ubuntu related [06:04] thanks killall did it [06:04] Is there any way I can boot into Ubuntu again to check for problems? [06:05] so grub is totally dead? [06:05] Chat7980: Isn't Ubuntu an option in the GRUB menu? === SushiDude is now known as Guest74575 [06:05] No, grub isn't totally dead, I just have no way to switch options to Ubuntu [06:06] so.. you see a boot menu? [06:06] Yes [06:06] what entries are on it? [06:06] so thee arroww keysdont work on the boot menu? [06:06] And when I unplug the external disk, it says No device detected...and then grub rescue [06:07] Dr_Willis: yes [06:08] so to clarify, a boot menu appears when the drive is connected, but even when the menu appears, you cant choose what option to boot into? [06:08] Correct [06:08] do you have a Mac Install DVD or an Ubuntu Live CD around? [06:10] Hey guys. I'm running ubuntu 12.04 server on Win2008 Hyper-V.. After the host restarted, I seemed to have lost internet connection on the ubuntu server. [06:10] No settings were changed.. Can someone help me out? [06:10] Our system admins are all windows folks :\ [06:11] Yup, Mac install DVD and Ubuntu live USB. Doesn't matter though, I think, because I can't boot into anything but the unresponsive os x at the moment. Note that I also have a rEFIt cd stuck in the SuperDrive right now [06:11] tknz: have you tried just restarting the networking on the VM? [06:11] (I can't eject it, it's not stuck sorry) [06:11] Yeah. [06:12] hello, #ubuntu [06:12] One other thing. If I change my static IP to DHCP it seems to just hang [06:12] Before I remember DHCP worked fine.. [06:12] does anyone here have IPv6? [06:13] the problem with IPv6 [06:13] is that if you live in a place in which many people share a connection [06:13] i assume everyone will have their own IP [06:13] whereas right now my identity is hidden my NAT [06:14] tknz: odd. I'm not overly great at networking issues I'm not sitting in front of heh, sorry. The dhpc server is ok though [06:14] so no one can claim to identify me as a bittorrent user [06:14] Hey all. I'm having an issue with Gnome shell. It seems to be quite laggy. All the animations that should be smooth are jagged, etc. Any ideas how to fix this? I doubt its my system as it's fairly high end [06:14] wylde_: lol i'm screwed [06:15] Teth: u wanna hide your ip? [06:15] I can't seem to ping the dns server [06:15] chintanparikh: it is probably your drivers [06:15] tknz: nawww there's some pretty knowledgab;e people who frequent this channel. Just have to catch one of them. :) [06:15] not your hardware [06:16] tknz: that's not good [06:16] hi, all [06:16] wylde_: Yeah.. [06:16] agc93: That would make sense. It's also become more noticeable after I started using dual screens. Does Ubuntu have anything to automatically find updated drivers, or should I go to the vender sites manually? [06:16] tknz: this is a VM guest on a windows host? [06:17] oh, i know there will still be proxy servers out there [06:17] i just don't look forward to the extra work to find and use them [06:18] wylde_: Yup. WIN2k8 server running hyper-v [06:18] ahoi [06:18] hi fidel [06:18] agc93: so there is no other way to boot from something different with a Bluetooth keyboard? [06:18] chintanparikh: there is a tool called Jockey (it's actually called Additional Drivers in the menu) that you can use to install proprietary drivers [06:19] tknz: just thinking you would be justified looking for helpfrom the VM software's maintainersor product support site [06:19] Chat7980: You don't have a USB keyboard anywhere? Does your keyboard use a dongle at all? [06:19] ...as well* [06:19] agc93: Thanks. [06:19] Anyone know what Xorg is? [06:19] !xorg [06:19] The X Window system is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart X, type 'sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm' on an ubuntu system. replace with kdm on Kubuntu. To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution . Also see !xorgconf [06:20] Xorg is GUI [06:20] Cheers. It's near the top of my 'top' [06:20] Is that normal? [06:20] Along with Gnome shell and Gnome terminal [06:20] Its an Apple wireless. Is there an alternative? Can I use a windows laptop as a keyboard? [06:20] chenyuwei, its the server for the gui stuff [06:20] Chat7980: Definitely. Any USB keyboard should work [06:21] chintanparikh: It's not great, but its nothing to worry about. It just means that your GUI is using up a fair bit of your CPU [06:21] agc93: I meant a full on windows laptop with a built in keyboard. That should work? [06:22] agc93: I see. Is there a way to make that lower? I assume that's also slowing me down and causing this lag [06:22] Chat7980: No, that's not possible. [06:22] is there like cs game in ubuntu 12.04 [06:23] ? [06:23] cs game? [06:23] !info xonotic [06:23] chintanparikh: drivers might let your GPU take over more of the load [06:23] Package xonotic does not exist in precise [06:23] ugh, of course not [06:23] chintanparikh, or you could use other desktop manager [06:23] agc93: Installing now :) [06:23] There is nothing else that can send keystrokes? [06:23] linuxuz3r_: But they're all so ugly :( Besides Gnome Shell! [06:23] apart from that, none that I know of without changing window managers. Which, like you, I don't want to, since I rather like GNOME [06:24] agc93: cHEERS [06:24] Oops caps [06:24] i have embedded intel video card [06:24] with gnomeshell it is fast [06:24] what video card do you have [06:24] AMD Radeon 6540G2. It definitely should be able to handle Gnome Shell [06:24] yeah [06:25] what problems are you experiencing [06:25] I can't ping the windows host. But the host can ping the ubuntu server [06:25] tknz: problem might be the host then [06:25] tknz, did you check your firewall settings? [06:26] linuxuz3r_: firewall where? [06:26] windows [06:26] windows have firewall [06:26] wylde, did you check your firewall settings? [06:26] linuxuz3r_: I'm not the one with the issue. :) [06:26] linuxuz3r_: what do I need to do with the firewall? [06:27] chintanparikh: yeah, once you upgrade to the good aTI drivers, that should improve [06:27] you need to add the program and the port to ping your host [06:27] to the firewall [06:27] sorry wylde [06:27] linuxuz3r_: no worries [06:28] linuxuz3r_: The guest is the Ubuntu.. [06:28] are you running vm? [06:28] Hyper-V [06:28] agc93: Hm, installation of the driver failed [06:28] i dont have any experience with hyper-v [06:29] chintanparikh: does it say why at all? [06:29] Which one did you try and install? [06:29] tknz, are you in hyper v ubuntu guest? [06:29] would someone in here be able to unban me in #defocus? [06:29] linuxuz3r_: Yeah.. So the host is windows 2008 machine [06:29] linuxuz3r_: It worked fine. Until the host needed to be restarted [06:30] linuxuz3r_: No settings were changed at all. [06:30] agc93: Just said to look at /var/log/jockey.log, which makes no sense to me. I tried to install the post-release update one, but for some reason, after failing it deactivated my first one [06:30] is your ethernet bridged or whatever [06:30] Trying again now [06:30] yeah, only install the first one (not the updates) [06:30] then reboot [06:30] linuxuz3r_: Not sure. It's attached to a network adapter [06:30] tknz, how is your virtual ethernet getting ip [06:30] virtual network === eddie is now known as Guest68068 [06:30] then you can try installing the post-release updates afterwards [06:31] agc93: I'm fairly sure I already had the first one installed from when i set up ubuntu [06:31] Teth: #ubuntu is not the ban resolution channel for #defocus. Try #defocus-ops. [06:31] Also, this lagginess is pretty new. I'm not sure if it's because I started using two monitors, or whether thats a coincidence === Guest68068 is now known as eddie_ [06:32] Anyways, restarting [06:32] Well, in my experience Ubuntu + 2 monitors = irritating [06:32] agc93: Oh yeah, it was a huge pain [06:33] linuxuz3r_: It's a vritual network I'm not sure how it works but there are other VM's using it and they are all working fine.. [06:33] Unfortunately, with ATI/AMD cards, its actually harder to get two monitors going right than with Unity [06:33] tknz, hi try allowing connections to your ip address of your ubuntu to windows 2008 firewall [06:33] I've never been able to get mine working properly [06:34] vm network is host-only [06:34] oh [06:34] try network bridge to your vm [06:34] ping IP [06:35] im sure hyper v has it [06:35] I can't bridge [06:35] I've seen that mode in virtualbox but yeah it's not here.. you can only select a network adapter [06:36] I can't ping the host, dns, or gateway [06:36] tknz try adding firewall to your ubuntu [06:36] can your guest ping outside connection [06:36] Hi [06:36] linuxuz3r_: you mean the host? Yeah.. The guest can't ping anything [06:37] I am trying to upgrade ubuntu with the ISO image I have of latest ubuntu amd64. [06:37] can you browse the internet? [06:37] I mounted it. [06:37] tknz [06:37] hello all [06:37] Volis: alternative isoi or desktop? [06:37] linuxuz3r_: I honestly have no idea what to do with the firewall.. [06:37] The steps on the internet said to execute, gksu "sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade" but it doesn't work. [06:38] Dr_Willis, Desktop [06:38] tknz can you browse the internet? [06:38] The host can yeah. [06:38] Volis: i think that may only work with the alternative iso [06:38] the guest? [06:38] Nope. Nothing.. [06:38] hmm [06:38] Dr_Willis, What is the way to upgrade from the desktop ISO I have then? [06:38] Yeah, I think Dr_Willis might be right. I've only ever seen it done with the alternative iso. What happens when you try that command? [06:39] It doesn't even autorun. [06:39] Volis: not sure its possible. [06:39] then it might be that ubuntu does not recognize the virtual adapter hyperv has [06:39] would some please tell me how to autologin a user to another desktop than gnome === tazjin|away is now known as tazjin [06:39] Dr_Willis, Can I do a fresh install? [06:39] or xfce on xubuntu? [06:39] Okay, so it seems fairly good now. I'll try reattaching my second monitor [06:39] Volis: you can always reforamt/reonstall [06:39] linuxuz3r_: But it worked fine before the restart? [06:39] lol [06:39] really [06:40] linuxuz3r_: Yeah I told you :p [06:40] Dr_Willis, See there seems to be a problem with my computer. I made a bootable USB from unetbootin and it cannot boot. [06:40] after the restart the networking failed. [06:40] i dont know then [06:40] ifconfig is all correct.. resolv.conf is fine [06:40] I already have given USB first priority from boot loader options under BIOS. [06:41] try setting again your network card in hyper v [06:41] then boot again to ubuntu guest [06:41] linuxuz3r_: Yeah I just tried that [06:41] rebooting.. [06:42] Dr_Willis, On windows I could have made it boot by the help of wubi making a boot sector but I don't know how to proceed now on ubuntu. [06:42] I have ubuntu 10.04 [06:43] Volis: i use the tools from the pendrivelinux site. - i never use wubi [06:43] Dr_Willis, I used that too. [06:43] And mylinuxlive too. [06:44] Why isn't my computer identifying bootable USB? [06:44] It has a option in the boot priority menu in BIOS for USB so I am sure it can boot from usb too. [06:45] try the usb in pther pcs. see if it works in them [06:45] first boot is USB-ZIP? [06:45] in BIOS? [06:47] I was doing a routine update and it failed on the flashplugin-installer so I ctrl+c'd and the rest of the install went fine. Now my flash doesn't work so I tried apt-get remove and then apt-get install flashplugin-installer but it still freezes when it tries to download the flashplugin [06:48] Lym: This may seem stupid but are you sure it was frozen and not just taking a very long time? [06:48] I had it running for an hour before I cntrl+c'd [06:49] ok, yeah, thats not normal. Have you tried apt-get purge ? [06:51] I"m trying again the normal route but I think there might be a problem with the server that its getting it from =/ [06:54] Okay, so its defs my dual monitors that screw it up [06:54] thats what mine did too, unfortunately [06:54] However, I tried to fix this by going to the Catalyst control center and switching them to individual desktops (multi-desktop) [06:54] Which speeds it up again, but appears to completely break gnome shell [06:55] I want to finde a game like CS in ubuntu 12.04. But i can not finde it === hasp is now known as hasp[afk] [06:55] Hold up, i'll sceenshot [06:56] Anyone know the command to launch chromium from terminal? [06:56] type chrom [06:57] Cheers [06:57] agc93: Screenshot, http://i.imgur.com/SEjgU.png [06:57] Any ideas? === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [06:59] chintanparikh: I at least know whats going on [07:00] It's gone back to GNOME Fallback, but that cant deal with what ATI is trying to give it [07:00] no idea how to fix it unfortunately. Thats also as close as I got to making it work. [07:01] I even tried GNOME's IRC but nobody really knew for mine, which was a slightly different problem. You can try #gnome-shell on irc.gnome.org [07:02] why would 10.04.4LTS kernel panic about Linksys WMP54G WIFI? [07:02] agc93: I see, thanks a lot. I'll let you know if I do get it fixed. It's a damn shame. I basically need to choose between dual displays + lag, or a single display [07:03] chintanparikh, i wish i can help [07:03] At least you've got the option :P I'm now at the stage of needing Unity if I want two displays [07:03] i got dual display working on 10.04 but not 12.04 [07:04] yeah 10.04 was pretty simple by comparison [07:04] hello, I'm trying to set mupen64plus as the default program for .v64 files, but mupen64plus when i try to choose mupen64plus, it is not listed anywhere [07:04] I've actually found NVIDIA's slightly easier to work with than their ATI counterparts [07:04] Agreed [07:04] I use ubuntu 12.04 btw [07:05] rodrigo: When you right click on the file and choose Open with Other Applications what do you get? [07:06] he needs to find mupen64plus [07:06] try whereis mupen64plus [07:06] yeah, but if its in the list, that would be easier [07:06] No applications found to open "007.v64" [07:06] what is mupen64plus [07:07] Did anybody figured out the solution for Flash(adobe) issues? [07:07] linuxuz3r_: It's a n64 emulator [07:07] ok [07:07] When you right click on the file and say Open with Other Applications you get No Applications found?? [07:08] I am not sure it is exactly that in English, but yes. maybe it's because I don't use the ubuntu repository version that is a little outdated [07:10] id just run the emulator.. and load the file from it. ;) [07:11] this version has no gui, everytime i have to run it from the terminal [07:11] So tuner mess this weekend dr? [07:11] thats probably your problem rodrigo [07:11] many emulators have alterantive gui front ends. [07:12] i'm running Ubuntu 11.10 and I just got a new router but I can't seem to connect to it consistently. I've run several commands and the output can be seen here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1040384/. [07:12] On failures, I seem to be getting a 'Reason 2' error in dmesg which seems to mean 'Previous authentications no longer valid' [07:14] damagednoob, you mean your "wifi" and your AP(access point). [07:14] My ssh session was killed during installing a pkg and now dpkg is complaining: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable [07:15] ak5, LOL [07:15] ak5, next time use "screen -RR" [07:15] ok, i think i saw something that should solve my problem, thx [07:15] jagginess, well i don't think there's anything wrong with my laptop's wifi or my AP, I dual boot win7 and it connects without a problem everytime [07:16] damagednoob, is it possiible that two network managers are working at the same time? [07:16] Cottus, not sure, how do i tell? [07:17] damagednoob, says the ip is 192.168.1.66 [07:17] damagednoob, can you do ping 192.168.1.1 ? [07:17] ddsa [07:17] jagginess, nope, but the gateway is set to 192.168.1.254 [07:17] damagednoob, and your ap is "MyWifiNetwork" ? [07:18] jagginess, yes [07:18] jagginess: yeah, I wasn't expecting tht shit [07:19] damagednoob, um.. so what about pinging to .254 then? [07:19] jagginess, that works, i get a response [07:19] ak5, not sure how to figure that lock unfortunately.. see if anything is being processed using ps or lsof [07:20] damagednoob, oh it does.. then what "does" not work? [07:20] hi. i got missing plugni error while trying to open .xls file in chromium, nothing happends in firefox and opera for same file. help plesae [07:20] ak5, but once its completed, try --> apt-get -f install, and dpkg -C" [07:21] ak5, and "dpkg -C" [07:21] damagednoob, maybe you mean the dns isnt working? [07:21] if i have an interface that is using NAT to end up with a public ip address do i need to/can i declare the public ip as an alias? ie eth0:1 [07:21] jagginess, it takes a long time to connect to a wifi network, today, 3 and a half minutes [07:21] hi guys i am facing a problem in ubuntu [07:21] damagednoob, maybe two configurations overlap [07:22] damagednoob, what does the wired ethernet get as it's ip? [07:22] i need to solve it [07:22] i do not know if it is bug or what [07:22] jagginess, when I look at the output from dmesg, i see a 'Reason 2' error right before it connects to the same network [07:22] damagednoob, the wired shouldn't get a similar ip in the same subnet (eg: it shouldnt get an ip from the same AP router) [07:22] jalal, first ask [07:22] damagednoob, disconnect the ethernet? [07:23] when i use ubuntu software center and i try to install software nothing happend [07:23] Hi, I have a problem where 'socat' keeps closing when nothing is connected to it, Is there any way to keep socat's connection alive under any circumstance? === Caspercom is now known as Caspercom|AFK [07:23] jagginess, i'm not connected via cable, i only connect via wifi [07:23] moooeh [07:23] anyone one alive? [07:23] me [07:23] how can i learn my monitor's current refresh rate? using open source driver [07:23] Cottus, how do i tell if two configurations overlap? [07:23] I'm alive but my socat isnt [07:24] Hi, I have a problem where 'socat' keeps closing when nothing is connected to it, Is there any way to keep socat's connection alive under any circumstance? [07:24] ur socket wil be soon [07:24] plz help me for ubuntu soft center [07:25] damagednoob, i messed some time my network , /etc/network/interfaces/, wpa_supplicant, network-manager, wicd [07:25] I'm gonna cry if someone doesn't help me [07:25] Cottus, i don't know how to tell [07:25] i guess i need to go [07:25] Cottus, but you can close all of them and open only the default [07:25] no one will help here [07:26] hi Cottus :) [07:26] jalal, try running software-center from the console [07:26] hi testet [07:26] center is running [07:26] but when i click on install nothing happend [07:26] How do I closed 3 D hardware acceleration in ubuntu [07:26] after clicking on install nothing happend [07:27] jalal, open a terminal> type> ubuntu-software-center ithinks [07:28] damagednoob, how is it going? [07:28] does not working form conole too [07:28] I want to start a LAN in my home. I have a netgear gs105 gigabit switch is this enough to get started? [07:28] Cottus, i have both wpa_supplicant and network-manager installed, but not wicd [07:28] install button doesn' works [07:29] the only thing i know is network-manager uses wpa_supplicant , but you can you wpa_supplicant as a standallone i guess you don't so no worry === tazjin is now known as tazjin|away [07:30] wubino: at a bare-bones level, yes. But that also depends on how you currently connect to the Internet? [07:31] agc93: The internet is connected into the netgear switch and a laptop and desktop get the internet from there [07:31] hi [07:32] damagednoob, i have similar problems all the time , code 11 , code ? , code ? about 3 codes i have seen, no idea [07:32] i would like to trun off 5 pc in sametime how to ? [07:32] agc93: I cannot find any good ref on setting the ipv settings manually, the docs just mention it in passing and say check manufacture docs [07:32] Cottus, i did find this site: http://etutorials.org/Networking/Wireless+lan+security/Chapter+4.+WLAN+Fundamentals/Basic+Choreography/ [07:32] agc93: manufacturer docs say nothing of the sort [07:32] thxn [07:32] What device are you trying to set the IP address for? [07:32] Cottus, it has a list of the reason numbers and what they mean [07:33] that would be helpfull [07:34] wubino: I think there is a command that lists the ipv setting available on the device as each device has different ipv's [07:37] outdated but it just might work: http://linhost.info/2008/11/how-to-set-a-static-ip-on-ubuntu-810/ [07:38] wubino: see sudo iwpriv interface --all to list all ipriv of your device man iwpriv [07:40] if you're just trying to set a static interface you can just edit the connections from the network icon and say static instead of automatic [07:41] :D [07:41] Hi guys, [07:42] I have a dell laptop and they have these two exe files filed under BIOS on their product support page, since my BIOS is giving me a few problems. Is there a way to install them? [07:43] Wine will do? [07:44] Volis: what kind of problems do you have? [07:44] (My main trouble is that the computer won't recognize any bootable media) [07:44] fidel, ^ [07:44] (Yes, I have set the boot priority menu correctly) [07:44] regarding your question: we cant tell you if a random exe file you dont link might be a flash-util, or the bios as archive or whatever else [07:45] so - we cant really answer if you can use wine or not - as bios-flashing from within winie/linux is most likely not a good idea ;) [07:45] The USB has 1st priority then CD and last is HDD. I plug in Bootable USB, it loads up from HDD anyway, I load up bootable CD, still boots from HDD anyway. [07:45] depends on what exe & functionality you are talking about in the first place - basically [07:46] I get your point. [07:46] I guess I am not really left with any option other than to contact customer support. [07:47] hello list, I think I found a (IMHO important) bug [07:47] have you checked your bootable CD on another machine? [07:47] is the CD working on this other pc? [07:47] fidel, Yes it works. I have also checked the USB, it works there too. [07:47] ciampixk in that case you might be better off on Launchpad rather than here [07:48] ciampix: or maybe using ubuntu-bug cmd in cli which submits all relevant data to the related launchpad project [07:48] agc93: I would like to report it the best way ... I'm here to ask some questions about lauchpad... [07:48] ciampix: personaly i just do: ubuntu-bug PACKAGENAME [07:49] as a result it collects some sys-info - and opens up your browser & launchdpad-page to finish the report [07:49] this needs an launchpad account afaik to be able to edit the report [07:49] fidel: thanks ! [07:50] when I uninstall application via software center, is it the same as using apt-get purge or apt-get remove? [07:50] this will result in status mails - unless you change it - everytime someone adds something to this specific bug [07:51] If you are curious I finally found a way to make suspend work reliably again from transition from 10.04 to 12.04: adding at boot nomodeset [07:51] ciampix: what kind of bug is that? [07:51] I have a very common portable: Acer Extensa 5220... [07:54] fidel: suspend works reliably only with nomodeset, if I do not append that command at boot I can suspend just 3 or 4 times before freezing the PC, I think this is a BIG and potentially dangerous bug! [07:56] ciampix: just not sure how easy it is to reproduce that without your device ;) [07:56] but good luck === tazjin|away is now known as tazjin [07:58] fidel: my pc is _really_ common and the fact that with a so common PC suspend does not work is not a good thing at all.... [07:59] hey guys... [07:59] can anyone tell, if the "TCP Proportional Rate Reduction" feature is on Ubuntu Server 12.04? [07:59] I thing that is to blame is the video card driver (Intel integrated GM965)... [07:59] is there anything to activate it? is active by default? [08:01] btw how can I stop all these messages warning me that that use is entered and that other user is leaving the chat (I'm using empathy...)? [08:01] hi. i got missing plugni error while trying to open .xls file in chromium, nothing happends in firefox and opera for same file. help plesae [08:01] check its settings/plugins ti hide parts/joins [08:02] or use a better irc client. empathy is better fir im, then irc === tazjin is now known as tazjin|away [08:04] Dr_Willis: there is no settings in Empathy, which client irc do you use? [08:04] ciampix: check itd plugins. i belive they are in there. i use weechat [08:04] weechat has 'smart' filters feature to hide part/joins of people that have idled for so long.. someonewho just talked. i do see them leave [08:05] some who just enters then leaves.. i dont even see it... [08:05] Dr_willis: you are right ... [08:06] most IM clients dont really work well with chat rooms that can have 2000+ people in them. :) [08:07] quit [08:07] exit [08:08] dsk_: put a/ befor commands [08:08] Dr_willys: ...I was looking in the chat window, in the other (main) there are some setting ... I try fiddling with options... === tazjin|away is now known as tazjin [08:12] Hello [08:12] hi [08:16] hello ppl, i will create a ad-hoc on my system but first i want to known if i can use WPA2 and if is possible to monitor failed attempts to my network... [08:18] any1? [08:24] you using a wireless router? [08:25] cat sayive ever gotten ad-hoc to work in any os.. ;) [08:25] but i imagine threds some logs somewhere about it [08:25] you can hide your ssid if you realy want to be extra secure i guess [08:26] Dr_Willis, nope [08:26] Dr_Willis, that doesnt add any more security.. [08:26] it adds more problems [08:27] also ad-hoc is plain stupid.. [08:27] jagginess: I dont like ad-homniem either [08:27] as i said.. ive never gotten ad-hoc to work on any os or machines ive ever tried it on [08:28] Dr_Willis: Layer 8 probably [08:29] they do make these battery powered portable routers.. ;) [08:30] friend had one that worked well for our 'frag fest' one sat night at work.. [08:30] Dr_Willis: frag fest? [08:30] yep. good old quake fragging each other.. [08:31] actually it was RTCW:et an oldie.. [08:31] Okay [08:32] Et [08:33] Et on console [08:33] I have plugged in my USB pendrive, but it is not mounting automatically. I want to mount it manually. Where do I view the logs and how do I troubleshoot this issue? [08:34] Bin2o makes objects but howto object to source? [08:34] Bin2o makes objects but howto object to source? [08:34] hi people, i wanted to boot xubuntu on a machine and it didnt detect the HD. but when i want to install xubuntu it detects the harddrive when it comes to partitioning it. can someone tell me y? [08:34] user: using raid ? [08:35] because i have some data that i would like to recover before formatting it. [08:35] ikonia: no it is an ide [08:35] !mount [08:35] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [08:35] user: bye [08:35] user: what is the error when you try to boot [08:35] Doe canonical post a yearly budget review anywhere? Or does anyone know how large canonicals loss (or profit) where last year? [08:35] l0lcat: why bye ? [08:35] ikonia: He left? [08:35] l0lcat: so he did [08:35] ful-jonas: it's a public company [08:35] thanks ubottu :) [08:35] It is customary to say bye when someone leave [08:36] Can i do the opposite of gcc ? O to c [08:37] a decompiler? [08:37] I can with gdb but manually === linuxgeek is now known as Guest48301 [08:38] Dr yes revers [08:38] been years since ive seen a decompiler. [08:38] sry got dc somehow, i was the user called user [08:39] ikonia: no i dont use raid, it is a ide dh [08:39] hd [08:39] And witch one did u see? [08:39] And witch one did u see? [08:39] ikonia: I really can not find anything. But then again I'm not sure what the word for the final budget review is in English.. [08:40] is there anything out there that will report disk usage on / thats not slow? im doing du -csh / but it takes forever!! and doesn't report anything for ags [08:40] *ages [08:40] Dr most emu use one [08:44] hi [08:47] puzzled with 12.04 & wireshark, somehow it persists that I give root access, can't get it to run from a regular user (it will immediately prompt for passwd) [08:47] that is when launched from unity, when launched from cmd line it is ok [08:47] persists? you mean it insists? ie: demands? [08:48] the unity launcher may be using 'gksudo wireshark' as its coimmand [08:48] due to green computing .. i've forced to manage the power of my cluster @lab,, anyone with Wakeup On LAN [08:48] it will need root access to run in promisious mode [08:49] Dr_Willis: indeed insists, sorry english is not my native language [08:49] will check the cmd [08:49] [10:48:42] due to green computing .. i've forced to manage the power of my cluster @lab,, anyone with Wakeup On LAN [08:49] anyone with wake-on-lan what? [08:49] wake on lan depends on the hardware and bios [08:50] uhu [08:50] hm any idea where I can configure the unity cmd for wireshark ? [08:50] WakeOnLan - seems to be very picky also. ;) [08:50] eFfeM: look for its .desktop file [08:50] most modern NICs support WoL, try sudo ethtool [08:50] or make a custom launcher for it [08:50] wake on lan is probably inappropriate for a cluster [08:50] to see whether your nic supports magic packet [08:51] If it outputs "Supports Wake-on: " and letters contains a g, your NIC supports magic pcket [08:52] If it contains a d as well, it does support magic packet but it's not currently enabled [08:52] so you'll need to do "sudo ethtool -s wol g" [08:53] I got 'wake on: g' :) [08:53] Or make it persistent by editing /etc/network/interfaces with "up ethtool -s wol g" under "iface ..." [08:53] How to know that my board support wake on lan without turnoff n get bios up, ikonia JohnnyricoMC? [08:53] fishcooker: you just have been told [08:54] Fishcooker, I just told how to [08:54] What's the web in which is explained how to move from kubuntu to ubuntu by using a command? (remvoing and reinstalling applications) [08:54] Dr_Willis: no gksudo or sudo or related in /home/usr/share/applications/wireshark.desktop :-( [08:54] [10:50:39] most modern NICs support WoL, try sudo ethtool [08:54] !puregnome [08:54] If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [08:54] [10:51:42] If it outputs "Supports Wake-on: " and letters contains a g, your NIC supports magic pcke [08:54] [10:52:12] If it contains a d as well, it does support magic packet but it's not currently enabled [08:54] [10:52:35] so you'll need to do "sudo ethtool -s wol g" [08:54] [10:53:33] Or make it persistent by editing /etc/network/interfaces with "up ethtool -s wol g" under "iface ..." [08:55] There [08:55] there's not for 12.04 [08:55] sorry my bad llutz JohnnyricoMC [08:55] np [08:55] Dr_Willis: isn't there another web? since it doesn't supoort 12.04 [08:55] support [08:55] JohnnyricoMC: what is [08:55] BlouBlou: no idea.i rarely ininstall stuff. [08:55] just like ip_address? [08:55] Network Interface Controller [08:55] rarely Uninstall ;) [08:55] aka eth0 [08:56] or eth1,eth2,... [08:56] ic [08:56] To actually boot a WOL-enabled computer, there are several tools [08:56] is there anything out there that will report disk usage on / thats not slow? im doing du -csh / but it takes forever!! and doesn't report anything for ages, and massively slows my system down [08:57] Personally, I use wakelan: "wakelan -b 192.168.0.255 -m xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" [08:57] This sends a magic packet to the subnet's broadcast address. The x-es need to be replaced with the MAC-address of your NIC [08:57] Dr_Willis: see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu [08:57] AdvoWork: would 'df' be enough? [08:58] maybe combine it with 'watch' [08:58] JohnnyricoMC: "wakeonlan -b ..." you mean? [08:58] Dr_Willis: a last question, shall I use "purge" instead of remove? [08:58] nope, wakelan [08:58] there's a frakton of WOL-programs out there llutz [08:59] BlouBlou: purge removes system configs. [08:59] yeah [08:59] hi, i am connecting to a win machine via rdesktop -f, once its full screen i cant get back to ubuntu unless i close it, whats the method to also use ubuntu at the same time ? [08:59] Dr_Willis: so it would remove kde configs [08:59] JohnnyricoMC: yes, and wakelan is NOT in debian/ubuntu [08:59] I just use wakelan in a little script on my NAS to boot my desktop when I'm not at home [08:59] so that explains things :) [08:59] BlouBlou: if you wan tto remove the system configs yes.. None will touch stuff in thee users home dir [08:59] so better to stick with stuff from repos like wakeonlan, etherwake [08:59] hmmm [09:00] salve [09:00] so i can set an alarm on m y android phone to wake up my pc at 9:00 ;) [09:00] it's just an example. Essentially, it boils down to the same with each one: send a magic packet to the broadcast address, containing the MAC-address :) [09:00] Dr_Willis: okay, thank you, doing that command now!!! :) [09:00] !bot [09:00] Hi!

[09:01] fidel, not really, i need to know whats taking up all the space on my drive, ie which folder(s) [09:03] hello ,everyone [09:03] AdvoWork: since any reporting tool has to read and calculate the filesizes, the speed only depends on your hdd-speed [09:04] yep - i doubt you can heavily speed that up [09:04] you can, using ssd :) [09:04] there might be small diffs depending who the tool checks it ...but basically it should be hw-limited - not sw-wise [09:04] llutz: good point hehe [09:04] Hi, I'm using chrome and and would like to use the flash debug player. I have downloaded and copied files to their relative locations, however the plugin is not listed in chrome. I have even placed the replaced the normal flash player .so file with the debug player .so file, then both plugins are not listed [09:13] hmm, can I run du -sh /var/www/test/whatever/test/* and either order by file size descending or ignore individual files? === plantigrade is now known as avelldiroll [09:14] pipe it through sort perhaps? [09:14] AdvoWork: "man du" --exclude=.... [09:14] ive seen awk scripts that can parse the output also to donicer reports === arthur is now known as Guest46715 [09:18] tjadc: chrome uses a built-in flash player, not a plugin. I'm not sure if it's even *capable* of using the plugin version. [09:20] DarwinSurvivor: Thanks. Yes, supposedly 2 versions of the plugin will be listed in the plugins list, where you should disable the built in flash player [09:20] llutz, i can and saw --exclude but thats for specific files according to the docs, all the files are different, unless * would exclude files, but i would assume it would exclude folders too? [09:20] Can't get the 2nd plugin to be listed [09:21] AdvoWork: it takes a pattern and will exclude any file/dir matching it (iirc) === XLV_ is now known as XLV [09:23] Hello, I use ubuntu 12.04 LTS, I use a DSL connection for connecting to the internet, a few minutes ago, the dsl connection disconnected all of a sudden, I tried to reconnect it by clicking on the nm-applet, but it did not have an option at the time, so, I restarted my computer, and then only it got connected, can someone suggest whether its a fault from the ISP's side or my network manager ? [09:24] tjadc: you might have more luck in the chromium or google channels [09:25] mi3: when was the last time you updated the system? [09:26] DarwinSurvivor: Alright, thanks [09:26] DarwinSurvivor, about 4 hours ago, sir [09:26] mi3: sometimes when a service or driver get updated, it can a little buggy until the service is restarted or driver is reloaded (which happens when you reboot). This is a common issue with video drivers as well [09:28] DarwinSurvivor, I upgraded the computer, which also included the kernel update, and it had asked me for a reboot, which I did, after the updates installation was complete, and it ran for 2 hours or so without any problems , sir [09:29] mi3: was that reboot before or after you had the "disconnect" problem? [09:30] DarwinSurvivor, before . [09:30] Hello I`ve done changes in httpd that has cpanel on it [09:30] I just finished updating my Interfaces file, how to I reload the network? [09:30] You will also need to add an A record mapped to * (asterisk) for the subdomain. >> unable to understand meaning of this line [09:31] winlintech: you're pretty new to setting up dns. [09:31] mi3: ok, then that's probably not what caused it. unfortunately I don't think network manager logs stuff like that, so unless it is *still* hapenning, there's not much troubleshooting that can be done. [09:31] Hello [09:31] mi3: if it happens again, come back while it is still having issues and we'll be able to run some tests to see if something is mis-configured [09:31] I was told by a html-document that in order to cron to work, process named crond must be running [09:31] @viking667: yes [09:32] is process named cron enough, or does it have to be crond? [09:32] DarwinSurvivor, sure, I will be happen to inform you or someone else about this problem. Now, the connection is working normally, thanks for your time. === ThePhoenix is now known as Guest60253 [09:32] winlintech: I think it means like *.surething.biz ? I wouldn't worry about it if your sites are hit ok [09:32] mi3: no problem [09:32] Jonii_: cron should be fine too, just different implementation [09:32] *happy [09:33] no m proxying traffic from 8080 to 80 [09:33] using mod_proxy [09:33] llutz: next, i want to make sure my revision control system days relatively up to date, does it make sense to use cron for the job? === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [09:34] Jonii_: i'd say yes [09:34] that is, i'd use cron to set git commit to happen daily [09:34] DarwinSurvivor, one more problem, I removed unity and installed cairo-dock session, I can use the cairo-dock with gnome effects without any problems, but when I use the cairo-dock WITHOUT gnome effects, and try to remove any launcher, the cairo-dock hangs, is it a bug in cairo-dock ? suggestions please. [09:34] Next, what if the computer is not running if cron is scheduled to happen? [09:35] Jonii_: make sure you have anacron installed, it handles that situation [09:36] @sacarlson: if i need to do it, how would i do? [09:36] winlintech: I'm not reading enuf between the lines sorry [09:36] winlintech: If I had some clues as to what file you might be editing? [09:36] sacarlson: how to refer you directly? using @ ? [09:37] winlintech: bind9 config files? [09:37] sacarlson: exactly [09:37] llutz: next, do you happen to know where to look for really really simple documentation about how to do this specific task. man cron contained lots of stuff I had difficulty understanding [09:37] I removed unity and installed cairo-dock session, I can use the cairo-dock with gnome effects without any problems, but when I use the cairo-dock WITHOUT gnome effects, and try to remove any launcher, the cairo-dock hangs, is it a bug in cairo-dock ? suggestions please. [09:37] Jonii_: man 5 crontab [09:38] Are there any download manager which can used behind a proxy server included handling proxy account (userpass)? [09:38] Malsasa, try wget [09:38] Malsasa, its terminal based. [09:39] mi3: but i want a download manager which can do splitting and has a GUI... [09:39] Jonii_: example: use "crontab -e" add a job "@daily git commit ....someoptions..." and save it. different aproach would be to write your commands into a script and just putting it into /etc/cron.daily [09:39] mi3: anything else wget? [09:39] Malsasa, try axel download manager [09:40] Hey guys, can someone link me on how to get official oracle/sun java for ubuntu 12.04? OpenJDK won't work for MC [09:40] Jonii_: 1st example would run it as your user, /etc/cron.daily is run as root. you have to decide which is better for your task [09:40] mi3: Axel? [09:41] winlintech: you should do some reading about it if you've not done before http://linux.justinhartman.com/DNS_Installation_and_Setup_using_BIND9 [09:41] Malsasa, Axel is a download manager. and so is Steadyflow. [09:41] sacarlson: its all pinging,getting correct hits. [09:41] mi3: i know but as short as I know, Axel cant handle userpass in proxy [09:42] winlintech: tools like dig come in handy [09:42] sacarlson: was making some changes so that traffic of 8080 port is proxied to 80 port [09:42] Malsasa, sudo apt-get install axel, if you want to install axel, and sudo apt-get install steadyflow, if you want to install steadyflow download manager [09:42] winlintech: that's not bind9 that's apache2 [09:42] sacarlson: yeah it is [09:42] Malsasa, I know very little about downloading through proxies, but I guess you can give those two a try :D [09:42] winlintech: again I can't read your mind === ojii|afk is now known as ojii [09:43] sacarlson: yeah ,after doing with apache2 when i moved to bind i got problem [09:43] hai all,is there any graphical xml parser in ubuntu? [09:43] mi3: i have tried for many times and so long. I failed. And in the end, i ask you here :) [09:44] Malsasa, did you configure the settings properly ? [09:44] sacarlson: i`ll cm up with specific error [09:44] winlintech: more reading then http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html [09:44] mi3: sorry, I don't know much about cairo-dock. I used it a long time ago for a week in openbox, so I have no idea how it would interract in a gnome environment [09:44] sacarlson: ok [09:44] mie: what settings? All setting i can, i have done them :) [09:44] DarwinSurvivor, err ok, sir, thanks for the suggestion, again :D [09:45] mi3: and they still cant work behind proxy (proxy which use userpass) [09:45] Hey guys, I've followed the community docs on remastering a CD and i'm running into an error where the Signature verification for Release.gpg is failing... consequently it's not finding any kernels... any idea where i might have gone wrong? [09:45] Malsasa, use wget, it has plenty of documentation regarding how to use it with proxies. [09:46] mi3: but i dont wanna use it because it cant do splitting [09:46] mi3: that is my own reason :) [09:46] mi3: but thank you [09:46] Malsasa, I prefer wget, now its upto you, sir/ma'am :D [09:46] Malsasa, you are welcome. [09:46] mi3: i am man :) [09:46] Malsasa, LOL [09:47] Malsasa, wget is cool, its terminal based, but the best one . [09:47] mi3: so there is no download manager which can work behind passworded proxy in Linux? [09:47] mi3: yes i agree if wget is good, but it is not pass my qualification [09:47] i have prob with apache2/mysql -- error is given below [09:47] Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [09:48] Malsasa, I feel you should give wget a try, sir, it also has plenty of docs online [09:48] !paste | longbi [09:48] longbi: 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.

[09:49] fishcooker, yes ? [09:49] i've got it [09:49] cannot occur within section [09:49] Syntax error on line 1 of /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2 [09:49] alert, why or why does unity want to hide the applications menu from me, having to look for it drives me nuts! :) [09:50] fishcooker, can you elaborate a little more? your question is too insufficient to help me in solving your problem. [09:50] @sacarson: how do i start/rrestart mysql server? [09:51] winlintech: that's closer but you should just pastebin.ubuntu.com the file, also a strange location for it to be [09:51] sacarlson: ohk [09:51] longbi: "sudo service mysqld restart" should do it [09:51] Haha. I have tried wget and it is slow... [09:51] mi3: Haha. I have tried wget and it is slow... [09:52] ok mi3 i've got pm-utils installed as llutz said [09:52] Malsasa, umm probably. [09:52] longbi: do you have phpmyadmin installed? with that you can test conectivity [09:52] fishcooker, what package are you asking about ? [09:52] @DarwinSurvivor: mysqld: unrecognized service [09:53] then i'll wakeonlan it after pm-suspend it, will that happening llutz [09:53] pm-utils : for suspend my box [09:53] longbi: oh sorry "mysql" not "mysqld" :P [09:53] longbi: so guess mysql isn't installed then [09:53] mi3: [09:53] fishcooker, sorry, cant help :( [09:53] @sacarlson: phpmyadmin is installed. but i cannot login with it. [09:53] np [09:53] fishcooker: if your machine support suspending, yes [09:54] how to know it llutz.. john*mc tell me that it will be good for green computing [09:54] longbi: on my system to restart mysql sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart [09:55] longbi: in case you missed my above comment, you need to use "mysql" not "mysqld" (I got confused since I use other distros as well that use mysqld instead) [09:56] @DarwinSurvivor: thanks alot man. its working again. was thinking of reinstall, now not needed. thanks to you. [09:56] Hi guys [09:57] hi eveyone. how do i enable the terminal bell in ubuntu 12.04? I have enabled the check mark for Terminal Bell in Edit > Profile Preferences, but it does not work. [09:57] fishcooker: that thing you have to test. suspend your machine, power it on again and look if everything works again [09:57] i'm trying to run Xorg -conf in my computer after stoping the gdm server and i get "Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. Configuraion Failed" [09:57] does anyone knows why this happens? [09:58] fishcooker: if it does, be happy. if it doesn't, forget it. the time to track down suspend/resume issues is wasted time. easier to poweroff/poweron [09:58] ok [09:58] mi3: thank you... i wanna go home... :) [09:58] @sacarlson: thank you. hope your help will be usefull in the future. thank again. [09:58] Weird, I'm starting to see why people like this command line interface so much [09:59] Malsasa, are you taking me with you ? [09:59] Malsasa, LOL [09:59] rigved: it should be enabled by default, can you verify that the cli application you are using is sending a bell signal? [09:59] Jonii_: it makes lots of things easier, just needs some time to get used to it [10:00] I always thought command line was sorta ritualistic way of signaling to other nerds that you are so hardcore that you can use this bare and confusing interface and still get some stuff done === Caspercom|AFK is now known as Caspercom [10:01] Jonii_: well, there's that too! :D [10:01] anyone know how i can check when the locatedb was last updated? [10:01] But to think that it actually makes lots of stuff actually easier and faster [10:01] DarwinSurvivor: i am using irssi. i have enable beep in the config. but no beep sounds. [10:01] rigved: can you open sound settings (advanced volume adjustment window) and make sure "beep" is turned up? [10:02] is beep nowdays done using that legacy sound hardware, or is it soft-beep? [10:02] i guess just looking at when /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db is enough [10:02] Jonii_: soft-beeps. in fact you can even chose visual beeps (flashing) or a different sound for the beep. [10:03] how can I use dd command to dump the contents of a cd? [10:03] Jonii_: typically the only time you'll hear a hardware beep is if the *motherboard* generates it [10:03] DarwinSurvivor: i do not see "beep" in any of the tabs in Sound Settings... [10:03] i think there was a funny story behind the way legacy-beep remained on desktop computers for so long [10:03] kanupatar: "dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path_to_image_file" should do it. You may need sudo [10:03] How to reconfigure my Xorg.conf ???? Any clues? === aaron is now known as Guest12467 [10:04] DarwinSurvivor: ok, how can I specify any blockwsie read? [10:05] !xorg| Papa-Smurf [10:05] Papa-Smurf: The X Window system is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart X, type 'sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm' on an ubuntu system. replace with kdm on Kubuntu. To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution . Also see !xorgconf [10:05] rigved: oh, they renamed it to "sound effects" [10:05] kanupatar: dd is a blockwise reader/writer, you shouldn't need any other settings. [10:05] !xorgconf [10:05] The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax. [10:05] DarwinSurvivor: In Sound Effects, Alert Volume is on full and the alert sound type is default. [10:06] kanupatar: but it can't hurt to make sure by adding "bs=64k" at the end [10:06] DarwinSurvivor: I mean , how can I read from sector 0 to sector 10 ? [10:06] if X11 is deprecated what is then in use?? [10:06] DarwinSurvivor: "dd bs=64k if=/dev/cdrom of=/path_to_image_file " ? [10:07] ? [10:07] DarwinSurvivor: i was searching online and there was mention of enabling pcspkr kernel module. it in my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. so, do i need to whitelist it? [10:07] kanupatar: that sounds like a strange thing to do, what are you actually trying to do....? [10:07] rigved: when you adjust the "alert volume" slider, do you hear a "popping bubble" sound when you let go of the slider? [10:07] DarwinSurvivor: I just want to read the sector header of sector 0 in the cd [10:07] cd == data cd , mode 1 [10:08] Have somebody run two graphics cards with Ubuntu? [10:08] kanupatar: in that case, use count= "sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/kanupatar/some_path.iso bs=64K count=10" assuming the sectors are 64K each (you'd have to check that) [10:09] kanupatar: if you want to know what else dd can do, run "man dd" for a list of options and switches [10:09] DarwinSurvivor: ohh okay...great info and great thanks.... [10:10] Papa-Smurf ati, intel, nvidia? [10:10] DarwinSurvivor: why it is of *.iso at output folder? [10:10] DarwinSurvivor: it is just a hex dump right? [10:10] kanupatar: .iso is the standard filename extension for disk images, though if its only a header it's probably not appropriate anyways. [10:11] kanupatar: it is a 1:1 direct copy of the bits on the disk [10:11] MonkeyDust, Nvidia + Intel [10:11] :) [10:11] DarwinSurvivor: yes, so just any name will satisfy the need [10:12] rigved: I am running gnome-terminal on my ubuntu system right now and every time my name gets called I hear the beep. This system was fresh-installed 2 weeks ago, so it should be enabled by default [10:12] Papa-Smurf there's this https://supersmasters.appspot.com/post/81981 [10:12] kanupatar: you can put what-ever filepath you want after "of=" [10:12] MonkeyDust, thanks i will have a look [10:12] DarwinSurvivor: thanks [10:13] Papa-Smurf http://askubuntu.com/questions/21455/how-to-manage-two-video-cards-on-a-laptop-ati-and-intel [10:13] I just installed Firefox 13 in /opt, but I can't find where I'm supposed to put any plugin files. Plugins in ~/.mozilla/plugins aren't recognized.

[10:16] No, I didn't know that. [10:17] SDX: ubuntu usually has the latest firefox version within a week, so unless you are a beta tester, there's not much point in installing it manually anymore [10:18] Okay. [10:18] SDX: take a look at the changelog: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/13.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 [10:19] how can i increase font of terminal on ubuntu ?

[10:36] im not sure I understand the question [10:37] Everything I search for says I need to install from a PPA, I was hoping there would be something stock. [10:37] WeissLehrer: you say it doesn't ask for a new IP so after the lease expires what does it do? [10:37] sacarlson: it keeps the old ip losing connection to internet eventually [10:38] hi [10:38] I think [10:40] hi [10:40] sacarlson: I don't really know how to analize it [10:40] how can I make the command : du -ch to skip showing me the list of files and folders , I just want the result === angga is now known as gewor [10:42] VictorCL from the man pages -s, --summarize display only a total for each argument [10:43] tes [10:43] and how can I list folders that are bigger than a x amount of MB for example? [10:43] WeissLehrer: and when this happens you can still see dhclient running? sudo ps -A | grep dhc ; [10:44] DarwinSurvivor: yes. i hear a pop bubble when i move the slider to the max. [10:44] hi, I'm using pidgin, when I minimize a conversation, how can I restore it? [10:44] for example an IRC chat [10:44] rigved: can you confirm that irssi is sending the beep sound? Usually you have to install and load a script to do that [10:44] hi, am new using xchat and irc actualy, anyone can see my type ?? [10:45] gewor: yes [10:45] DarwinSurvivor: if i just enable beep in config file, then it should work, right? [10:45] gewor: yes [10:45] oke, thanks [10:45] sacarlson: it is weird that there are 3 dhclients... two dhclient3 and one dhclient [10:45] well, so does anyone know how to maximize again a pidgin conversation in Unity? [10:45] rigved: not sure, I've had my irssi customized for quite a while, so I'm not sure what it does by default anymore. [10:45] DarwinSurvivor: no, i do not hear a beep when my name is mentioned in irssi [10:46] rigved: if you run it in tmux, the title at the bottom of the screen should invert when a beep is sent (you have to be looking at a different tmux screen at the time though) [10:46] DarwinSurvivor: ok. can you confirm that you have some irssi script which does the sound part? [10:46] WeissLehrer: that shouldn't be, how did you make that happen? [10:46] bonjour je suis un p'tit noob ;) et ma commande et pas bonne.. pourrier vous m'aider svp find -name *.jpg -exec -mv Images *jpg\; [10:46] WeissLehrer: did you compile one and have the original one installed? [10:46] !fr [10:46] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [10:47] inferno et c'est n00b et non pas noob [10:47] rigved: I have "hilightwin" installed, but I'm not positive which script (if any) is responsible for sending the beep. I do know you have to tell irssi what your username is so it knows what text to watch for. [10:47] sacarlson: actually I think I got it from a previous version, I did some release-update in the past [10:47] sacarlson: but this is the first time I use the dhclient in the machine [10:47] WeissLehrer: well kill all of them and restart one [10:48] Is there an indicator to display what workspace I am on? Everything I search for says I need to install from a PPA, I was hoping there would be something stock. I would think that this would be a standard option for those who use workspaces. "Indicator Workspaces" appears to only be supported for Oneiric --> https://code.launchpad.net/indicator-workspaces. Any guidance would be appreciated. Sometimes Ubuntu pops my windows to another work [10:48] DarwinSurvivor: ah. i have not done that. not told irssi what my name is... [10:48] rigved: the #irssi channel has a lot of people in it, one of them can probably more easily help you make sure irssi is sending the beep [10:48] BlouBlou: your window should be available via "window Buttons"... Oops you are using Unity. [10:48] DarwinSurvivor: ok. thanks! will look into it in a some time. [10:48] WeissLehrer: I think upstart will detect that dhclient that it want is not running and restart one, so make sure you restart with upstart [10:49] rigved: are you running it directly or inside screen/tmux? [10:49] DarwinSurvivor: directly [10:50] rigved: "/hilight -mask yournick" might do it. but that will be undone each time you restart irssi (there is a setting in the config file for it as well) [10:50] BlouBlou: the windows button is somehow called Super, :d [10:50] rigved: run the /hilight command and see if it fixes it, if so then it's an irssi config issue [10:50] sacarlson: upstart you mean init.d? [10:51] WeissLehrer: no the new version upstart I'm not too up on it [10:51] alt + masculine ? what's that? [10:51] WeissLehrer: http://geeknme.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/getting-started-with-upstart-in-ubuntu/ [10:52] WeissLehrer: so it should be like sudo restart dhclient [10:52] !X [10:52] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [10:52] anyone had issues with ubuntu running under virtualbox? i.e. completely missing top panel? it does show shadow though [10:52] !ligthdm [10:52] !lighthdm [10:52] i've installed -ose guest additions, though, x11, dkms, guest [10:52] !lightdm [10:52] !gdm [10:53] WeissLehrer: I assume you run ubuntu 12.04 that is moving into upstart, I still run 10.04 so still work mostly the old way [10:53] Papa-Smurf use /msg ubottu for factoids to self [10:53] !gdm [10:53] (i'm a little cross-poster, here's my snout, oink, oink...) [10:53] ok [10:53] !fedora [10:53] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [10:53] sacarlson: Im running 11.10 [10:54] this issue is what i have - http://askubuntu.com/questions/126673/black-line-across-top-of-display-in-virtualbox-guest [10:54] though, no solution there [10:54] Hi There [10:54] WeissLehrer: even in 10.04 there are parts already starting in upstart [10:54] !xrandr [10:54] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X.

[10:54] well [10:55] start: Unknown job: dhclient [10:56] WeissLehrer: ya I note the same as it's in something else like networking or ?? [10:57] WeissLehrer: so I'm not sure [10:57] Is there any problem for running dual monitors to run different drivers in each card [10:57] may i ask some qoestions ?? [10:57] sacarlson: if I restart networking I will be unable to connect until a classmate tell me the ip cause I'm not in the same network as the server [10:58] gewor: don't ask to ask, fire away. [10:58] WeissLehrer: well don't do that then [10:58] Papa-Smurf: did that with intel and nvidia once.. [10:59] Papa-Smurf, thanks good to know [10:59] oke, i just installed lubuntu 12.04 in my pc, dual boot with windows 7, everythin' after install. [10:59] I just deleted a 12G file and df -h still shows the same empty space [10:59] sacarlson: well, gtg, I [11:00] deleted how VictorCL [11:00] I'll try to solve this later [11:00] rm file [11:00] problem is, after i type sudo apt-get purge lubuntu* and when i restart i can boot to windows, img brocken or somethin' [11:00] how can i fix it ?? [11:00] WeissLehrer: so I guess just try kill the dhclients and see if on will apear later? I'm just guessing [11:01] hy, it is possible to run a real graphics card with virtualbox or qemu-kvm? [11:01] gewor: why would you remove lubuntu* [11:01] Whats happen if a i get the error "Stopping System V runlevel compatibility" [11:01] i just want to using openbox [11:01] gewor: you mean you 'cant' get to windows? [11:01] yap [11:02] gewor then just install it and select it in the login menu, no need to uninstall anything [11:02] and i can mouth windows partision [11:02] i cant [11:02] i mean [11:02] i dont see how removeing the lubuntu package is related to the windows boot issue. [11:02] Is it a really bad idea to use chmod to gain write privilege on an ntfs partition? [11:02] i cant boot to windows and i cant mouth windows partision [11:03] what does grub/windows do when you boot windowxs [11:03] NotSrijan: you cant chmod on ntfs or vfat [11:03] Okay. [11:04] default grub from lubuntu [11:04] gewor: check sudo blkid, and sudo fdisk -l output. see what windows partitions exist [11:05] so what package i must install, to make i can log/boot to windows, cz my brother is still strange to linux [11:05] sory for my english [11:06] gewor: nothing.. the 2 are not related [11:06] unless you removed grub files.. [11:06] no [11:06] i not remove grub [11:06] then nothing would boot i imagine [11:07] i still can log to ubuntu and my openbox [11:07] gewor what's your native language? [11:07] i was update-grub but its dont work [11:07] try the commandds above.. see what windows partitions you have [11:07] indonesian [11:07] then see if you can mount them by hand [11:08] oke, i try latter, cz i use my netbook now [11:08] !id [11:08] join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [11:08] noob here, I am trying to rsync files of a folder. all files have nobody nogroup and I get rsync: send_files failed to open "Permission denied (13) [11:08] could someone please advise? [11:08] ohh [11:09] sory i new using this :) [11:09] maria_zk: show us the line you used to rsync with [11:10] no people on there [11:11] sacarlson: thank you for your reply, rsync --rsh='ssh -p204' -arv /backup auser@:/home/auser/backups [11:12] How would you change a url without changing the destination? === codeshepherd_ is now known as codeshepherd [11:12] WiW: like the tiny url services? [11:13] I am using windows 7 and installed ubuntu 12.04 by wubi. however my pc works too slow since 32 bit ubuntu was installed and there were not option in wubi to select 64bit OS. So, how can I install 64 bit ubuntu addition to windows 7? [11:13] WiW the l in url means location, what is it you want to do? [11:13] maria_zk: I may not be reading this correct but I see a source but no destination path [11:13] Isn't there some thing where only the last "http://*" is considered when a browser tries to resolve the url? So, like, yahoo.com/http://google.com will resolve to google.com? [11:13] angs: whats your ram size [11:13] 4 GB [11:14] is there any option in wubi to select 64 bit ubuntu to install? [11:14] angs: i doubt running a 64bit wubi ubuntu makes it that much faster then a 32bit wubi ubuntu [11:14] I have a url, and I want to add characters to make a new url, but I want it to mean the same thing [11:14] angs you wont see much gain by 64bit. doing a full normal install would help more [11:14] angs: 32 vs 64bit isnt about speed in general [11:14] MonkeyDust, I've got both cards working [11:15] but know i get this message when doing login ""Stopping System V runlevel compatibility"" [11:15] angs: while i never used wubi myself - i assume using wubi MAY cause more performance issues then 32 vs 64 bit - just as example [11:15] Papa-Smurf great, for future reference, share with the channel how you did it [11:15] Dr_Willis: I want to run the same url to the tiny url service multiple times (until I get a good simple one) [11:15] MonkeyDust, i think i'm now in the last step === shreef_ is now known as shreef [11:15] sacarlson: ? [11:15] Papa-Smurf i guess ubuntu no longer uses system V [11:16] I mean when I use several firefox and couple terminal pages, my pc works too loud whereas, I use many programs like matlab, chrome, etc. at the same time and it works fine [11:16] MonkeyDust, it does not led me to move forward [11:16] MonkeyDust: its handled by a upstart scripts. i belive that sort of emulates sysv [11:16] angs: and why do you mix up speed, loudness and 32 vs 64bit? [11:16] i did install gdm before could it be the problem? [11:16] loudness, freezing, etc [11:17] I should have used different word for it [11:17] angs: and why do you think that is a 32bit issue? [11:17] maria_zk: example just one file but need a path on both sides rsync ./bitcoin.conf.mm3TEST sacarlson@192.168.2.158:/home/sacarlson/bitcoin.conf.mm3TEST [11:17] angs: you want better performance - do a full normal install [11:17] fidel: I checked it before somehow. then I saw that it is 32 bit issue [11:17] angs: what? [11:18] angs: i HEAVILY doubt being slow is a 32bit wubi effect [11:18] angs: i find that doubtfull [11:18] its most likely a wubi effect ;) [11:18] marrusl: just like cp /from/path/ /to/path; same for rsync /from/path/ /to/path [11:18] there is no 64bit wubi that i know of. [11:18] as wubi needs some specific settings to work - which may be far away from perfect [11:18] my question is that is there any option to select 64 bit installation in wubi [11:19] angs: this will NOT solve your issue - but i give up now [11:19] angs there is no 64bit wubi that i know of. [11:19] I just downloaded the wubi installer, went with the default options, and it's now downloading ubuntu-12.04-wubi-amd64.tar.xz [11:19] maria_zk: rsync is just like cp: cp /from/path/ /to/path; same for rsync /from/path/ /to/path [11:19] wubi :( [11:20] seems I can simply add as many spaces as I want before the http [11:20] adamk_: could it be you are on windows 64? [11:20] sacarlson: all files have nouser and nogroup [11:20] wubi is worth... avoiding [11:20] should that cause problems? [11:20] Dr_Willis, The machine is 64-bit but Vista on this machine is 32-bit. [11:20] Hi, I seem to have had a hard drive corruption where my partition /dev/sdc1 is no longer there. This is a lvm2 disk and I would like to restore the partition so that I can start to repair the lvm. If I use gparted's Create partition table feature with gpt will this erase the lvm data? I don't think it will but I don't have a back up so I only have one shot at this. [11:21] maria_zk: your user on the account must also have priv to write on the /to/path [11:21] adamk_: that may get interesting... [11:22] maria_zk: oh and your user must also have priv to read from the /from/path [11:23] sacarlson: so I guess that my user does not have read permissions on the from path [11:23] i know the other user has write permissions on the to path [11:23] can I assign read permissions to the from folder to the from user? [11:24] Hi. Anyone know if there's a way to view all previously purchase software in Ubuntu Software Centre? [11:24] maria_zk: no I think you have NO /to/path to send to look at your line where is the /to/path ? [11:25] Macready the software in the software centre is free [11:25] MonkeyDust: not all of it! :( [11:25] * MonkeyDust opens software centre [11:26] ...and learned something new :) [11:26] MonkeyDust - no, so today I bought the Humble Bundle for about $8.50 (£6 ish). 8 cool games - but would like to verify that they are all purchased properly. [11:26] sacarlson: if possible, can we assume that the rsync command has correct syntax. i know it is a very noob question, how can i have read permissions to files owned by nouser ? === lucian is now known as lucian_ === lucian_ is now known as lucian__ === lucian__ is now known as lucian [11:26] also, thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it. === donald is now known as Guest45330 [11:27] maria_zk: ls -l will show the details of ownership and read write perms [11:28] ok that's -rw------- which means that only user nobody has read permissions. [11:28] but files are generated from a script [11:28] maria_zk: depending on the mask you might have to be a member or the nouser group [11:29] i also added the user to the nogroup [11:29] but didn;t help, since there are no group read permissions according to -rw------- correct? [11:29] maria_zk: group has NO permission, only user has read/write [11:29] s/user/owner/ [11:29] ok, this is what I thought. so how to handle that? [11:30] should I maybe create a sxript to sudo the from user then run rsync? [11:30] I can't seem to get the Java plugin for Firefox to work. [11:30] maria_zk: I might be wrong but that would be -rw------ that only root can read right [11:30] Creating a symlink to libnpjp2.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins did nothing. [11:31] well I don;t know but zykotick9 says that only nouser does [11:31] maria_zk: ya I think he's correct I'm wrong [11:31] so... [11:31] this means that only nouser and root can read this? [11:31] so no-one knows if it's possible to view purchase software on USC? [11:32] maria_zk: yes and since there is no nouser I guess only root can read or write it [11:32] aha [11:33] any ideas how to handle that then? === tazjin is now known as tazjin|away [11:35] maria_zk: try add sudo to the front of your line if you have sudo privs in your account [11:36] maria_zk: note you will need sudo rights on both the source and destination path [11:36] maria_zk: is this an EXT filesystem or FAT/NTFS? [11:37] maria_zk: run chmod o+r file or use acls specific to your user. Only the superuser (root) may access all files. [11:37] maria_zk: zykotick9: has a good question === tazjin|away is now known as tazjin [11:38] i don'k now... [11:38] acls? [11:39] maria_zk: acls = action control lists [11:39] maria_zk: run 'mount' and look at the output, what's after 'type' on the line with the FS in question? [11:39] maria_zk: i wouldn't worry about that... probably doesn't apply [11:40] hey guys, is it possible to wake up a server behind router/NAT with wakeonlan and port forwarding? [11:40] Okay this question is for anyone, where would you store MAME roms? I would like for this location to be consistent with Ubuntu 12.04's filesystem and the way it is logically organized. A short rationalization would be appreciated.

[11:41] Gl1d3_: a subdirectory under /srv would makes sense as far as file system hierarchy is conserned... or home directory (if only one user will use them) [11:42] should I write a script that first changes all files to o+x then rsync?

I am running off of rackspace [11:43] Gl1d3_: I'd pick a location where apt would steer clear of - what about /opt/mame-roms? === tazjin is now known as tazjin|away [11:44] Gl1d3_: nothing wrong with what MasterOfDisaster just suggested, but /opt is "typically" used for programs, not files/libraries [11:44] maria_zk: can you locally copy any files in that directory like cp ./thisfile ./thatfile ? maybe you have read priv for nouser [11:44] do i need to install contrack_tools? [11:45] while playing Battle For Wesnoth in fullscreen, the bar at the top of ubuntu hides part of the game. how can i hide it while playing?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [11:45] maria_zk: but your chmod idea might be a solution [11:45] Are there any known gotchas with Ubuntu 12.04 and dual booting? I cannot prevent myself getting dumped to 'grub rescue>' on a dual boot setup. The alternate installed guides me into / on a logical ext4 partition. Is that an issue?

[11:48] ls (hd0,msdos5) etc. fail [11:48] maria_zk: copy a file that already exist that you plan to rsync to another file name [11:49] maria_zk: or just open one in an editor to prove you have read priv [11:50] yry the boot repair tool yet PriceChild hmm [11:50] try [11:50] Has anyone else noticed us.archive.ubuntu.com being really flaky the last couple days? [11:50] Dr_Willis: no luck [11:51] zykotick9: I'm looking at putting it under /srv. I'm going to read quickly about the file system hierarchy as well. [11:51] been flakey for a week or so sear [11:51] MasterOfDisaster, Thanks for your answer as well. [11:51] sacarlson: ok i copied a file, and changed it too [11:51] Dr_Willis: Hm. I didn't notice until yesterday. It was fine for me up until then. Guess I got lucky. [11:52] maria_zk: so it's not a problem with read priv it's the original fact you have No /to/path in your rsync line [11:52] Gl1d3_: you're welcome. I wouldn't care what a spec says, ultimately, it's your system. [11:52] sacarlson: -rw-rw-r-- 1 me me 928 Jun 14 13:50 index.php [11:52] Gl1d3_: see "man hier" for some details [11:52] but here the file is owned by me and the permissions are different too. [11:54] A custom written service claims to run on my system on port 2290. How can I verify this? [11:54] maria_zk: oh I'm wrong the destination is optional in rsync so it defaults to your pwd [11:54] anyone knows how to add nf_conntrack_udp ? [11:55] to ubuntu 10.04? [11:55] kanha: "lsof | grep ^2290" might show you. [11:55] sacarlson: does it make sense to make a script that changes the permissions, then rsync?

[12:11] kanha: that link I gave might not be the best one [12:11] maria_zk: then have the auto script chmod them? [12:11] sacarlson: thanks :) [12:12] anybody knows how can i see the output text of an /dev/pts please??? [12:12] sheena_29: where is the /dev/pts? what's being output onto it? [12:12] sacarlson: should I write a script to chmod them first then rsync? [12:12] maria_zk: note it might be that the source is not on an ext partition check if it's not ntfs with mount [12:13] agc93 i have an application running in background, writing in /dev/pts/3 [12:14] and, i´m unable to access this [12:14] sacarlson: you are right, it is nfs [12:14] :( [12:14] so what changes? [12:14] maria_zk: nfs or ntfs? very different. [12:14] maria_zk: you must mean ntfs not nfs so you can't change users on ntfs [12:15] maria_zk: and you can't change permisions [12:15] maria_zk: you can force what they are set to at mount time of the ntfs partition [12:15] 192.168.122.1:/export/user/www on /var/www type nfs (rw,hard,intr,addr=192.168.122.1) [12:15] agc93: i have an application running in background, writing in /dev/pts/3 [12:15] agc93: and, i´m unable to access this [12:16] sheena_29: okay, thats odd. I'm not too sure. Gimme a sec, Ill see what mine does [12:16] maria_zk: oh ok nfs should still be changeable but I guess that also depends on what it remotely connects to as nfs is a remote connection to another system [12:16] agc93: thank u very much [12:17] sheena_29: what happens when you try from a terminal: cat < /dev/pts/3 [12:17] hmf [12:17] you may need to sudo [12:17] agc93: nothing... : ( [12:17] agc93: i logged back in and now i see no menu... [12:17] sacarlson: my head will explode :D [12:17] maria_zk: instead of guessing I guess you will just have to try to change something chmod or chown on that [12:18] Ashael: what do you mean no menu? [12:18] sheena_29: then I'm honestly not sure. Either try here again later or see what Google can tell you? [12:18] agc93: ok, thank u anyway === Guest30928 is now known as release [12:19] agc93: all i see is the icons on the desktop. [12:19] Ashael: and is there a black bar across the top of the screen with icons on it? [12:19] no. [12:19] I am using a system running Ubuntu 11.10. I have a C program's executable, but I want it to execute automatically during startup and also in the background. How do I do this? [12:19] Ashael: and when you press the Super/Windows key? [12:20] i may have logged back in wrong. how do i log off again without the top bar? [12:20] nothing. [12:20] Try Alt-F2 [12:20] Ashael: try ctrl+alt+L [12:20] kanha: won't that lock the session? [12:20] kanha: you could start it from cron with @reboot or setup a upstart === release is now known as cryptfu_ [12:22] Is anyone else having trouble with update manager right now? [12:22] alt+f2 didn't work, ctrl+alt+l locked the session but didn't give a log-off option, or at least when i switched users nothing changed. [12:22] agc93: it will provide an option to switch between users [12:22] Ashael: how did you install GNOME? [12:23] agc93: from the terminal [12:23] Ashael: I mean, with what commands? [12:23] sudo apt-get [12:24] install [12:24] Ashael: what came after apt-get? [12:24] after install [12:24] one moment [12:24] did you just do sudo apt-get install gnome-shell? [12:24] yes. [12:24] Ashael: try this. Press Ctrl-Alt-F1. This should kick you back to a terminal screen. Now type sudo service lightdm stop [12:25] then sudo service lightdm start [12:25] and then it should take you back to the GUI [12:25] if not, try pressing Ctrl-Alt-F7, or just reboot it (last resort) [12:28] oops [12:28] agc93: care to repeat those commands? i thought it would open a terminal, it kicked me completely off and i wasn't prepared === workcjk is now known as workcjk_ === workcjk_ is now known as workcjk [12:34] agc93: just an FYI, but ctrl+alt+FKEY is only required in Xorg, just alt+FKEY or alt+LorR-ARROW in VTs is required [12:35] Hi === zenix`away is now known as zenix` [12:38] apt-get tells me that imagemagick is already installed, but when I try to execute it my system tells me it wasn't found [12:39] agc93: success! [12:39] sulaiman: Exactly what command are you running? [12:39] adamk, imagemagick [12:39] dpkg -L imagemagick | grep bin [12:40] sulaiman, the command is "convert" [12:40] That will list all binaries. As you can see, imagemagick is not a binary. It's just the name of the program. [12:40] There are various binaries in the imagemagick package. [12:40] Ashael: good to know! [12:40] Thanks Tux, adamk! [12:41] agc93: now, how do i install a theme from a tar.gz? [12:41] wb [12:41] just had my own laptop problems. :P [12:41] I didn't know about dpgk -L, really useful [12:41] agc93: you're awesome and thank you. [12:42] Ashael: no problem. Happy to help! [12:42] so, um, how do i install a theme from a tar.gz? [12:42] is there a way to disable the FGLRX driver from the livecd??? I enabled it on a fresh install of 10.04 and now Ubuntu won't start (Hangs on loading). System worked perfectly fine before I enabled the driver. === satan is now known as Guest7120 [12:43] Recovery console? === matriuxu1er is now known as serverboy [12:44] Recovery console should work if you go in and change/create /etc/X11/xorg.conf on the actual install to be a different driver like glx or something [12:44] is ther anyone figured out how to install gtranslate on ubuntu 12? [12:45] hello ppl, i will create a ad-hoc on my system but first i want to known if i can use WPA2 and if is possible to monitor failed attempts to my network... [12:47] Wireshark? [12:48] agc93: how do i install a theme from a tar.gz? === Guest7120 is now known as linuxnewb2 [12:49] What causes the colors in Ubuntu's vim to look different than other distros? Vim is using the default theme [12:49] someone plz help me [12:49] my ubuntu 12.04 can't seem to find anything [12:49] conley: the terminal emulator most likely [12:50] alankila: Right, so where would the config files be for the terminal? I don't have an .Xresources file or anything of that sort [12:50] conley: vim uses the 16 xterm colors available to it, but doesn't actually specify how they appear. They're merely standardized. [12:50] conley: nobody uses xresources anymore [12:50] you just righ click on the terminal and edit the profile settings [12:50] alankila: Arch [12:50] I'm getting ''No such file or directory'' always, whenever I look a file up. Isn't linux supposed to know where the file is, or do I have to point it to the exact place of the file? [12:50] conley: you're on the wrong channel then [12:51] jrib: you here? [12:51] alankila: No, they use .Xresources :) I'm on Ubuntu trying to extract the colors :) [12:51] tiredofthis: If you are trying to run a program, it either needs to be in your users $PATH or you need to specify the full path to the program. [12:51] I downloaded iron-linux.tar.gz, it's sitting on the desktop of ubuntu but sudo mv iron-linux.tar.gz /opt/ doesn't give me anything [12:51] conley: you sure they use xresources? I mean, you practically have to be using xterm for your terminal emulator in that case, but most people don't use it because it uses those pixel fonts instead of truetype ones [12:52] how do i specify the full path? [12:52] isn't it something like desktop/iron folder/ [12:52] tiredofthis: "doesn't give me anything"? If that command succeeds, it shouldn't print out anything. [12:53] it tells me no such file or directory [12:53] tiredofthis: try "sudo cp /home/tiredofthis/Desktop/iron-linux.tar.gz /opt" [12:53] tiredofthis what's iron-linux? [12:53] ok is the desktop inside my user? [12:53] its a browser derived from chromium with privacy features [12:53] lol [12:55] zykotic i get missing destination file operand after your suggestion [12:55] How would I go about replacing PulseAudio with ALSA in Xubuntu? [12:56] SDX: pulse requires alsa - they aren't the same thing at all. pulse replaces esd [12:56] Oh. [12:56] !broadcom [12:56] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [12:56] That would explain the lack of Google results. [12:56] Does apache always runs as root user; if so how to set it to run as user “xyz”? [12:57] Zally666, it doesn't seem to want to load the menu so I can boot into recovery. [12:57] kanha: it never runs as root [12:57] kanha: not in a default ubuntu setup [12:57] no matter what I push it just goes straight to loading Ubuntu [12:57] kanha: it starts as root, forks to www-data then after binding to port 80 === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [12:58] kanha: and it has an config option to define as which user/group it runs in apache-config [12:58] where can i find this apache-config? [12:59] kanha: /etc/apache2/.... [12:59] zychotic why do u think i get missing operand after your sggestion? [12:59] thanks llutz_ [12:59] aloha all :D [12:59] *sounds of cricket* [12:59] where can i go hurl abuse at ubuntu? [12:59] !tab > tiredofthis [12:59] tiredofthis, please see my private message [13:00] tiredofthis: are there any spaces in the path names? [13:00] what is autocompletion of nicks? [13:01] You mean spaces in between the words of each folder? [13:01] tiredofthis: ya, have any? [13:01] tiredofthis so you don't have to type them completely, some nicks are really difficult to type, like 'zykotick9' or so ;) [13:01] at least not in theory no [13:01] morning all [13:02] but i'm not actually sure i have my path right, as there's nowhere in ubuntu i can actually see the path unlike in windows === ajones_ is now known as Sjerzdvl [13:02] MonkeyDust: ;) even z-y-k requires x2 tabs [13:02] oh cool thanks MonkeyDust [13:03] I'm pretty sure the name of my username is ubuntu32 [13:03] But I don't know where to see the full path that leads to my desktop [13:04] tiredofthis: try "cd ~/Desktop" then "pwd" [13:06] how can i get that squiggly line before desktop?! [13:06] tiredofthis: that what? [13:06] tiredofthis: check top left side of keyboard, beside 1 [13:07] oh tilde ;) [13:07] ok i get /home/ubuntu32/Desktop [13:07] tiredofthis: and if you "ls" do you see your iron-linux thing? [13:08] if i now type in ls [13:08] i get a blue iron-linux a red tar.gz [13:09] ah yes i see yes i do [13:09] hi guys [13:09] tiredofthis: try "sudo cp iron /opt" [13:10] can anyone tell me how can i get the boot screen in ubuntu to edit the kernel parameters? i mean i want the shortcut key to pull up the menu [13:10] amanthakur: its E to edit on grub stage [13:10] amanthakur: holding left-shift at boot, then "e" [13:10] if i understood you right [13:10] it tells me ommitting directory is that good? [13:11] try the cp again with -r this time [13:11] ok i think its working thanks [13:11] tiredofthis: AHH. it's a directory. "sudo cp -r ..." [13:11] that will recurse through the folders [13:11] well im trying sudo mv following this guide now [13:11] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8511682&postcount=2 [13:11] nope still no luck [13:12] my tar xvf iron-linux.tar.gz gives me no such file, i'll try your cp with -r [13:12] where do i put the -r ? [13:12] should i escape the desktop folder i seem to be in at the mo? [13:13] tiredofthis: is this a file or directory? "ls -l" [13:13] desktop is a directory [13:13] oh ok one secon [13:13] tiredofthis: sorry -- continued: does it say d or - on far left. for the file iron-linux... [13:13] ls -1 gives me a blue line [13:14] which means its giving me a directory i think [13:14] that weird i seem to have erased the tar [13:14] llutz, thanks [13:15] tiredofthis: 1 != l [13:15] Can anyone recommend a solid VPS provider in .au? [13:15] anyway at the beginning I used to have both the directory and the tar, as I had extracted the tar into the desktop [13:15] now I think I may have unpacked the tar and evaporated it [13:15] well no, what i've done is i've sudo'd it [13:16] I'm looking to buy a new laptop, I don't want Windows installed (I get it for free at my uni anyway), can anyone help me find such a laptop in the UK that works well with GNU/Linux? [13:16] but when I tried to unpack with the tar command I was told no such file or directory [13:16] no wait, thats wrong, oh i dunno what i've done i'm useless [13:16] chturne: actually most laptop works well with Linux [13:17] chturne: It might be worth you join #ubuntu-uk (UK local channel) to ask that [13:17] ghoti vps providers in australia are very expensive [13:17] DJones, oops. Thanks! [13:17] try lowendbox for cheap SSH [13:17] How can I use Xfce's Mixer to adjust my volume instead of PulseAudio's volume control in Xubuntu? [13:18] why linux is more safe? explain it with two sentences! [13:18] I tried #xubuntu. No response yet. [13:18] zykotick9 to answer you whether it says - or d, it says neither === lubmil is now known as lub` [13:19] dontknow: you might get a better response in #ubuntu-offtopic [13:19] tiredofthis: yes, but I need to find a place to host content to clients in Sydney that isn't going to get pulled across oceans. thanks for the lowendbox pointer, I'll do some research there. [13:19] it just gives me a blue 'iron-linux' [13:19] tiredofthis: you need to use "ls -l" to see permissions that's a lowercase L [13:20] linux isn't more safe, i'm just being paranoid === mterry is now known as rickspencer [13:20] I mean paranoid by setting up ubuntu just because of security === rickspencer is now known as mterry [13:20] agc93, it looks like abandoned [13:20] paranoid is good. they really are out to get us. [13:20] What is the maximum possible value of fs.inotify.max_user_watches? [13:20] ok so its lowercase ls-1 while i'm the desktop folder? that just gives me the folders and the files in the desktop [13:21] ghoti, did you set selinux? [13:21] And what does it mean for a watch to be created? I.e. how much memory/CPU does it use? [13:21] dontknow: er, no... [13:21] tiredofthis, did you set selinux [13:21] ghoti, i asked mistakenly [13:24] silence [13:24] fasta: i=`sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches`; i=${i##* }; while sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=$i; do printf "\r%s " $i; ((i++)); done; echo "" [13:25] ghoti: that could take a month to run. [13:25] you didn't give me a time limit. [13:25] ghoti: you can better binary search then. [13:26] ghoti: even then, it doesn't answer the question. [13:26] ghoti: because I asked for two functions from N, the number of watches to the amount of memory and CPU required. [13:26] Anyone playing Humble Bundle games on Intel HD3000 on Ubuntu? How is performance? === don is now known as Guest62397 [13:27] SDX: I'm sure alsamixer would work [13:28] hayden_ru: depends on the game I imagine. [13:28] fasta: I've seen systems using fs.inotify.max_user_watches > 200000, but I don't know if there's an upper limit hard-coded. And if there isn't one hard-coded, then the limit is flexible, and your question can't be answered here. [13:28] dr--willis: interested in Bastion and Psychonauts :) [13:29] s/flexible/soft/ [13:29] ghoti: the default is already 2.5 times what you claim to have seen. [13:29] Hi, I'd like to change my unity settings so that I can move windows upwards past the top bar (I have a small screen and need to do this to see the bottom of some windows). [13:29] How can I do this? [13:29] hayden_ru: and those 2 dont mention hardware-requirements? [13:29] fasta: what I "claim" to have seen? gfy. [13:29] on the related project pages? [13:29] ghoti: gfy? [13:29] how does one get to the grub menu to choose the recovery options in 10.04 (I thought it was the ESC key, but that is nto working) [13:29] ghoti: I was just pointing out that your knowledge is out of date. [13:29] ghoti: no need to feel bad for being ignorant. [13:29] katherinem13_: see if holding ALT while dragging the window will allow moving past top - compiz might prevent this... [13:29] Dj_FlyBy: try shift [13:29] katherinem13_ I don't think thats possible. What you can try is holding down the Alt key, then clicking and dragging on a window [13:30] yet, to express that, you used words that implied that I was lying to you. Great choice. [13:30] sacarlson: Thank you, sacarlson. alsamixer worked for my purpose of muting sound from certoin speakers. [13:30] *certain [13:30] zykotick9: Oh, great! That does work. Thanks. [13:30] ghoti: yeah, I suppose in this case the doubt expressed by the word claim was not needed. [13:31] ghoti: still, I wasn't there with you when you saw it :) [13:31] Katherine2046: try alt-click and moveing it up? that used to wirk [13:31] what is selinux? [13:31] fasta: I certainly don't feel bad for ignorance. we all have that, or we wouldn't ask question. I feel bad about wasting time trying to help you. [13:31] tiredofthis security enhanced linux [13:31] i hate ubuntu [13:31] hello guys [13:31] tiredofthis then dont use it === tazjin is now known as tazjin|away [13:31] i love ubntu [13:31] i'm not sure, i do know i ran all the updates [13:32] That's generally not a good idea in Ubuntu. [13:32] MonkeyDust should i install selinux [13:32] what is you problem? [13:32] tiredofthis: and the issue is? [13:32] Updates break things sometimes. [13:32] tiredofthis: if you want to secure your box, yes. [13:32] btw guys [13:32] are the updates the reason its not working for me? [13:32] tiredofthis: if you want a usable system without advanced administration skills, no. [13:32] They could be. [13:33] What isn't working exactly? [13:33] so all i should have done is install selinux, encrypt the ubuntu and thats it? [13:33] tiredofthis: simple secreet is if it works don't fix it. don't upgrade unless you have to [13:33] me adn my brother were arguing about Windows vs Lunix password file security [13:33] tiredofthis: encryption and selinux are unrelated. [13:33] tiredofthis: disk encryption in this case. [13:33] i mean ntvlm and the free bsd md5 hashing [13:34] well if i'm going into this much trouble installing iron i can only imagine the issues i'll run into when i try to install bitcoin and bitcoin armoury [13:34] tiredofthis: iron? [13:34] tiredofthis: the browser? [13:34] actually i also failed at trying to install bitcoin the other day on this ubuntu i'm a TOTAL failure at ubuntu [13:34] tiredofthis use chromium, it's in the repos [13:34] hi all [13:34] but its also because ubuntu isnt friendly AT ALL [13:34] tiredofthis: iron is a broken browser. [13:34] yes iron the browser [13:34] MonkeyDust: he apparently needs the security of Iron [13:34] that bad? [13:34] i'd heard good things [13:34] tiredofthis: it's insecure out of the box. [13:34] tiredofthis: wow bitcoin I wrote multicoin a branch of bitcoin [13:35] tiredofthis it's friendly to me [13:35] so what browser is secure [13:35] hi all - I just created a new Ubuntu-Server 12.4 VM. I wanted to look at nginx, so I instaled nginx, then I wanted to get rid of nginx, so I did apt-get remove nginx; guess what ? it is still there, still running [13:35] tiredofthis internet is not secure [13:35] any browser on a sufficiently secure system :P [13:35] tiredofthis: only latest chrome for the chrome family. [13:35] it treats me badly doesnt even let me see where the directories are [13:35] all the commands take days to learn [13:35] when i'm not in a chatroom i'm waiting for answers in forums [13:35] tiredofthis: read a book. [13:35] tiredofthis bla bla bla [13:35] tiredofthis: anything new takes time to learn [13:35] so I installed aptitiude, installed again with apttude and then purged, and guess what - nginx is si still there and *still runing* after a erboot too ?!!? [13:35] tiredofthis: then you aren't dependent on lesser beings. [13:35] books are good. [13:36] why ubuntu isn't gui installer friendly beats me [13:36] so guys [13:36] I have a netbook running lucid and at the skype's camera test the image is head down, say flip vertically [13:36] tiredofthis please take that discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [13:36] the shadow file encryption [13:36] tiredofthis: it is a gui installer. It works fine for me [13:36] vague ramblings are vague [13:36] is there any way to make more secure [13:36] ini budi, budi bermain bola [13:36] :3 [13:37] Firefox with NoScript, FlashBlock, and Ghostery is quite secure. [13:37] yeah but im a disaster at it, although its also the fault of linux, i remember earlier this year breaking my centos server half a dozen times [13:37] anybody faced with this problem? [13:37] dantix1: I use webcamstudio for effects like that [13:37] I use ubuntu 12.04 and get the following error for the code that I am executing in here http://pastebin.com/aMBL0pd0 what is wrong with it? I already installed linaro-image-tools and live-build by apt-get install ... [13:37] aside from being in incredulous, how do I get rid of nginx now? [13:38] Granted you don't add every website you've ever heard of to to your whitelist, of course. === tazjin|away is now known as tazjin [13:38] dr--willis: but my problem is that skype filps the image. [13:38] saya pikir skype itu bagus [13:38] :3 [13:39] well, that's lame, windows doesnt read .ogg [13:39] dantix1: could use webcam studio to flip it back. ;) [13:39] pandu, do you have a support question? [13:39] yes I do [13:39] Next question: How can I make xterm always start maximized when launched from the Unity launcher? This is a netbook, so actually it would be nice if I could have all windows maximize automatically. [13:39] not that kind of security i need [13:39] anyone know of a viewer for MS visio? [13:39] kamu tau ini apa morsnowski ? [13:39] i need to improve local passwd and shadow security [13:40] dr--willis: understood...thanks [13:40] hi guys im getting an error on ubuntu 12.04 that says Home Directory /home/dottie not ours how can i fix this [13:40] dustinspringman what's ms visio? [13:40] pandu: this channel is english - what language are you looking for? [13:40] dustinspringman, not for linux [13:41] compdoc: lame.. [13:41] thnx [13:42] my audio isnt working and when searching for a solution i found that pulseaudio requires access to the home directory something obviously changed my permissions and it could be the main factor in my audio problems [13:42] i read that i just need to change owner and group id on the home folder but dont know how to do so [13:42] dustinspringman, have you tried Firefox Visio Viewer?

[14:05] tomwolber: open system monitor, and kill the process from there [14:06] WeissLehrer: sounds like an if-down problem, you should be able to modify the script for if-down to be sure all dhclients are killed [14:06] tomwolber: look under the processes tab, and find something that looks like evolution [14:06] Meridious: worked...thanks!

[14:08] Hi, are there another channel for another languages? [14:08] WeissLehrer: is sounds like it's also a part of the /etc/init.d/networking script that will always keep running from upstart so seems a work around would be to disable network-manager and just run a single dhclient in your own start script [14:08] <__Xav92__> IRC :o [14:08] !de [14:08] In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

No success. Any thoughts? [14:15] Should note in passing, the reconfigure did nit to improve the situation. [14:16] sacarlson: but the dhclient should be closed after the connection is done?

[14:17] mi3 find the filepath of the movie you want [14:17] and wget it [14:17] Meridious, and ? [14:18] sacarlson: the reason there was more than one dhclient is because I typed 'dhclient eth0' in the shell to see what happened, I already killed them [14:18] mi3: that is basically it. What format is the movie in? [14:18] Meridious, I dont know, I want to grab that movie somehow [14:18] mi3: use firefox wi/ downloadhelper plug-in [14:18] mi3 are they free?

[14:24] mi3 just checked, the films are not available in every or any country [14:24] SkippersBoss, I cant watch the video, since I am from India, [14:24] MonkeyDust, err any way to bypass that ?

[14:43] exactly or i am thinking of even using virtualbox [14:43] unless you are doing color separations for pre-press, the GIMP does everything Photoshop does. and does not require stealing or spending the cost of a heart transplant. [14:44] paanii: what OS are you using now? [14:45] ubuntu12.04 [14:46] paanii: have you tried spending real time with the GIMP to see if it suits your needs? === med_ is now known as medberry === medberry is now known as med__ === med__ is now known as med_ [14:46] not really [14:46] * SkippersBoss prefers Gimp [14:46] tomystein: What is your question about it? [14:47] Gimp, i only use it for file conversion like from .png to .ico [14:47] paanii: an OS is just a vehicle to get you the computing tools you need. start with the question "Photoshop or the GIMP?" and move from there. [14:47] cos i cant get that in photoshop [14:48] Yesterday Ubuntu on my notebook prompted me to do an update, after it completed, gnome exits immediately after login and I'm returned to the login screen. I need help troubleshooting this problem, can anyone point me in the right direction? [14:48] derek_ealy_R7: can you login from a TTY? [14:48] does the GIMP has a steep learning curve? because i have been using photoshop for like 4years now [14:48] check /var/log/syslog for any weird messages, perhaps? [14:49] Yes, GIMP has a learning curve, but shoudn't this really be in #ubuntu-offtopic? [14:49] yes, pressing ctrl+alt+f1 gets me to command line mode, where I can login [14:49] paanii: it's certainly less steep if you understand image editing principles, which after 4 years i hope you do ;) [14:49] can you see anything odd if you run tail -n 40 /var/log/syslog ? [14:50] paanii: http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-GIMP-From-Novice-Professional/dp/1430210702 [14:50] paanii and it depends on how skilled / smart you are [14:50] thanks mneptok for the link [14:50] nothing obvious in the syslog other than a warning about unable to load /etc/gdm/custom.conf [14:50] am fast in learnign [14:50] derek_ealy_R7: if you can login via TTY, then the issue is something with X or GNOME setup. try creating a new account, and see if that account can login to the GUI. [14:50] learning [14:51] paanii: spend 24-48 hours playing with the GIMP, and then report back here? [14:52] Okay i need some help. [14:52] paanii: if the GIMP can replace Photoshop in your workflow, then a migration to Linux is a fairly easy decision and chore. [14:52] Trying to install "GPA", Can't find a source with it i guess is my issue.

[14:53] anyone know of a linux wav editor that opens files directly in their original format rather than importing them? [14:53] linuxnewb2: what is "GPA?" [14:53] So i would need to downgrade. [14:53] eein_: Audacity does not do that? [14:53] mneptok: from what i know it's a gui inferace for pgp [14:54] linuxnewb2: "seahorse" is what you are after. [14:54] mneptok: no its imports it as an audacity project so it can support multitrack etc things that dont exist in mp3 flac world [14:54] I can use kleopatra on windoze, but jeebus. [14:54] mneptok: Ty. [14:54] linuxnewb2: it's called "windows" [14:54] :P [14:54] eein_: when you save in Audacity, you should be able to save as a WAV, and stuff gets muxed appropriate to the format. [14:55] well, after creating a new user it didn't exit immediately after login, however I'm stuck at a blank screen with just the desktop background image [14:55] mneptok: yeah too many steps, basically i need to reverse swears in music to make them radio versions. exporting is just another step and slows things down when doing tons of songs [14:55] i just want to open a song reverse swears ctrl+s and be done [14:56] not setup a keybinding for eport then pick format yes overwrite etc [14:56] eein_: maybe it's easier to hope FCC control isn't scanning you when those songs air ;) [14:56] Question - I want to set a keyboard shortcut to open terminal + run a command. What features do I need to cause terminal to open and then execute the command in question? [14:56] sure> means i have to re-fromat my HDD and do a new install of ubuntu 12.04 [14:56] roasted: -e === med_ is now known as med_out [14:57] roasted: it will execute what you put after -e [14:57] mneptok: :-) its for dj house parties its more the people im concernerd about === med_out is now known as med_away === med_away is now known as med_ [14:57] roasted create a launcher and select "open in terminal", then assign a hotkey to it [14:57] roasted: (check the flag for the syntax for your specific terminal, but most respond to -e) [14:57] ikonia: so if I want to run a bash script called "weather", is that to say "-e weather" is what I want? [14:57] eein_: ah, the life of a private DJ. good luck. i have only ever used Audacity. sorry. [14:57] roasted: if it's in the default path of the shell you launch sure, however you can do -e /usr/share/bin/weather.sh too [14:57] MonkeyDust: where's that at? In keyboard shortcuts? [14:57] ikonia: ah, gotcha. Let me try that. === daimaoyy is now known as daimao === daimao is now known as daimaoyy [14:58] ikonia: eh, that didn't fly. I'll read through the flags though. [14:58] yeah its annoying all the steps after you do a hundred or so and finding edited tracks isnt always an option [14:58] roasted: what terminal are you launching ? [14:59] ikonia: whatever is in ubuntu *shrug* [14:59] roasted: how are you launcing a terminal, you need a command, eg: xterm -e "ls" [14:59] ikonia: I just found a script on the forums that brings weather info through terminal. I was trying to assign it to a hot key so I can hit that, term launches, and brings up the feed instantly. [14:59] roasted yes, in system settings, keyboard, shortcuts, custom [14:59] roasted: yeah, you'll need to launch a terminal for it to run in though [15:00] MonkeyDust: there is no run in terminal function though. just name and command. Are you sure you don't mean "run in terminal" thats under a custom startup application? [15:00] roasted: just tested it with xterm [15:00] roasted: xterm -e top [15:01] roasted: launched an xterm running top [15:01] so you could use gnome-terminal -e to launch a normal terminal with a command [15:01] if you dont like xterm [15:02] ikonia: I don't believe I'm using xterm. Do you know the name for the default terminal? [15:02] roasted: try uxterm -e top [15:02] gnome-terminal [15:02] roasted: you need to know the name of the terminal you are launching, how are you lauching a terminal from the command line [15:02] Assuming you use GNOME and not KDE [15:02] agc93: well, I'm on Unity, so I would assume gnome-terminal. [15:02] roasted: gnome-terminal -e top [15:02] gnome-terminal -e top isn't doing anything though [15:02] roasted: also works [15:02] QUICk question guys [15:03] anyone here [15:03] ikonia: are you setting up a keyboard shortcut when you test these? [15:03] roasted: just tested it [15:03] roasted: no, just from the command line [15:03] agc93, hey, you were helping me last night to reinstall mysql-server. when i reinstall, it says, can't set root password for the server, maybe one already exists. i guess that means there's some old config files laying around? maybe i find those and kill them, then it will work? [15:03] roasted: worked for me [15:03] ikonia: gotcha. I'm in keyboard shortcuts. Probably why we're seeing different things. [15:03] Guys will Rasberry Pi get ubuntu [15:03] roasted: test it on the command line, comfirm it works.....then move forward [15:03] but yeaht hat works fine for me if I launch in terminal [15:03] tanveer: eventually, probably [15:03] tanveer: try #ubuntu-arm [15:03] ok [15:04] ikonia: maybe I need to incorporate that in the script instead of in keyboard shortcuts [15:04] polygons: if you can find it, then that should work [15:04] roasted: I'm on a modified desktop here, so I can't really test the shortcut function [15:04] agc93, any idea where to look? [15:04] sorry, nope. Never done MySQL on Ubuntu :( [15:05] usual places are ~/.config /usr/share /usr/local/ /etc/ and occasionally in /var/ somewhere [15:06] agc93, thanks! [15:06] ikonia: side FYI, I did a 2 part youtube screencast on Motion... posted it on the forums last night... just an FYI since we had touched base on Motion before. [15:06] roasted: I'll take a look at it [15:06] ikonia: still pending approval last I saw, but figured I'd mention it.

[16:43] <Paragz> SkippersBoss really? it worked fine on my old computer, but yeah [16:43] <mdpatrick> LordOfTime: at least 5.3.3, but basically as up-to-date as I can get without deviating too far from what I should be using on this version of ubuntu [16:44] <SkippersBoss> i have heard a couple of people now with the same problem [16:44] <silverarrow> hi [16:45] <silverarrow> has anyone installed ubuntu on an old ibook [16:45] <Dr_Willis> silverarrow: imacDV ppc here.. ages ago... [16:45] <Dr_Willis> ;) [16:45] <silverarrow> oh cool [16:45] <bitabit> hello I am trying ot burn a dvd with a movie. the movie was in .avi format and it has two audio channels. dual spanish english...DEVEDE does not allow dual audio to make an iso file...is there any other ubuntu program that does it? [16:45] <mdpatrick> LordOfTime: sorry, my connection got interrupted. may have missed your response. [16:45] <Paragz> SkippersBoss made a forum post, will just have to see if anyone found a solution [16:45] <silverarrow> I have an old white ibook, never used, I want linux on [16:46] <Dr_Willis> silverarrow: ppc dident work worth beans. :) i ended up going back to OS-X and using a ssh client. [16:46] <Dr_Willis> silverarrow: that a PPC one? or IntelCPU? [16:46] <silverarrow> so, no good really? [16:46] <mdpatrick> LordOfTime: I want at least php 5.3.3, preferably installed with apt… or as up-to-date as I can get without screwing anything up or inviting the devil into my VPS. I'm using lucid 10.04.4 LTS ubuntu. [16:46] <LordOfTime> mdpatrick: welcome back. you missed nothing. well... the latest version of PHP in Lucid is what you see, there is no newer version in Lucid. There are newer versions in natty and onwards, did you try downloading the natty package and installing it [16:46] <LordOfTime> mdpatrick: and don't repeat ;P [16:46] <silverarrow> not sure how to get OS X back once it's gone though [16:46] <Dr_Willis> silverarrow: I dont even know how up to date the ppc ubuntu is these days. You could try Lubuntu If they have a PPC version. [16:46] <SkippersBoss> The obvious solution is of course using a installation medium like dvd or usb stick [16:47] <mdpatrick> LordOfTime: Ah. Hmm. That sounds like I might be inviting trouble there. [16:47] <Dr_Willis> silverarrow: boot the OS-X installer disk :) [16:47] <LordOfTime> mdpatrick: you could have someone try and repackage the newer package for lucid [16:47] <mdpatrick> LordOfTime: Right? [16:47] <Paragz> SkippersBoss Aye, just don't have that available right now heh [16:47] <LordOfTime> but the reliability of that is... ...iffy [16:48] <SkippersBoss> Ai :-) [16:49] <andrei_> hi guys [16:49] <andrei_> can you help me i have a sound prob [16:49] <andrei_> i can hear it just its freezes for 1ms allways [16:50] <Zally666> Aplay [16:50] <sacarlson> andrei_: maybe irq conflict? should look at sudo lshw | pastebinit [16:50] <andrei_> guys any idea why sound freezes for 1ms [16:51] <andrei_> guys [16:51] <emobathtub> andrei_: [16:51] <mdpatrick> LordOfTime: OK, that helps a lot. I contacted our VPS support to ask them what approach we should take. Thanks for your input, very helpful. [16:52] <LordOfTime> mdpatrick: i dont think that'll help you though [16:52] <andrei_> so guys any idea how to fix sound freezing for 1ms [16:52] <LordOfTime> your "VPS" support is probably limited to basic support [16:52] <LordOfTime> not systems updates [16:52] <LordOfTime> mdpatrick: ^ [16:52] <andrei_> i cant listen to music like this [16:52] <sacarlson> andrei_: yes [16:53] <andrei_> so what should i do [16:53] <andrei_> to fix it [16:53] <caion> my backtrack (ubuntu) don't show the mouse pointer, how do fix it? [16:53] <andrei_> i wanna lsiten to music man the only reason im on the pc is music [16:53] <andrei_> so plss help me [16:53] <mdpatrick> LordOfTime: Probably, but I'd bet they can at least shoot me some appropriate links. Setting apache, and php up on a clean install shouldn't be too bad. We also have a sysadmin on staff that would probably better be able to accomplish this than myself, and I can rely on him to some degree. Regardless, I'm satisfied with knowing I should probably progress no further until I get feedback from the both of them. [16:54] <mdpatrick> That is, support, and our in-house sysadmin [16:54] <LordOfTime> mdpatrick: i hope he understands packaging ;P [16:54] <LordOfTime> that's what'd be done, backporting the package [16:54] <andrei_> scacarlson so can you help ? [16:54] <DJones> !backtrack | caion [16:54] <ubottu> caion: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[16:56] <sacarlson> andrei_: I already asked you I await your responce [16:56] <MonkeyDust> seems gone === dzragon_g is now known as dzragon === m00die is now known as m002D2 === m002D2 is now known as m00se [17:08] <jasonmsp> Hey all. I'm trying to install a printer on Ubuntu 11.10 and the correct driver is found but it says it requires gs. When I go to install gs it selects ghostscript-x instead of gs, and tells me its already the latest. Should I force the gs or is there an alternative? [17:15] <numlock4045> ok.. so how do i disable this damn Dock in 12.04? [17:15] <numlock4045> anyone want to help me? [17:16] <jasonmsp> running 11.10 sorry. [17:16] <numlock4045> does 11.10 have the dock? [17:16] <MonkeyDust> numlock4045 what dock do you mean? [17:17] <numlock4045> the Heads up Display dock bar they have running on the right side of the desktop.. [17:17] <MonkeyDust> numlock4045 it's part of unity [17:17] <MonkeyDust> !notunity| numlock4045 [17:17] <ubottu> numlock4045: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [17:18] <numlock4045> awesome thank you sir. [17:18] <numlock4045> now to figure out how to get to the package installer with this damn unity dock.. [17:18] <kv> hi [17:24] <wasanzy> hi [17:25] <wasanzy> please how do you add an existing user to an existing group? [17:25] <Pici> wasanzy: sudo adduser existingusername existinggroup [17:26] <Kinenkaya> Anyone use the Awesome WM here? [17:27] <Kinenkaya> Or could possibly direct me to a channel where people might use it, if no one does lol [17:27] <sergiufreenode> Hi [17:27] <sergiufreenode> who play WoW? [17:28] <wasanzy> kk [17:28] <spow> hi, silly question : how come when you enter your password it takes a split second to validate but 2-3 seconds when it's typed wrong ? [17:29] <fl1bbl3> encrypted home area spow? [17:30] <spow> fl1bbl3: I definitely remember asking not to encrypt hard drive [17:31] <saveme> Anyone experienced with ddrescue? I started this 2h ago, and it hasnt done anything else but "splitting failing blocks" and 0 succesful reads [17:38] <TheChaoticGood> Hello [17:38] <Zally666> Hi [17:39] <TheChaoticGood> Im very new to ubuntu. I work with a nonproft and we are trying to get some donated laptops up and running with ubuntu, but when i try to install it i get an error that says "ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error " ubiquity [17:40] <TheChaoticGood> What is that about and how can I fix it? I have tried burning several Dvds and that doesnt seem to be the problem. [17:47] <alFReD-NSH> TheChaoticGood: please provide mire information. Where does it happen? what is your system/hardware information? [17:47] <SkippersBoss> TheChaoticGood.: which of the ubuntu's are u trying to install ?? Can you do a USB stick install instead ?? [17:49] <TheChaoticGood> I downloaded the ISO form the site. after i get past the part where you choose what partition to install it on, it tried to start installing. Either in a few seconds or ina few minutes I get a a pop up saying "ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error " and it states ubiquity as the problem [17:49] <Oran> hi [17:49] <Turbolinux> Hello everyone. What's the required package for Empathy's video and audio conversation function? [17:49] <Turbolinux> I can't use these functions. [17:50] <Turbolinux> Does it require a package? [17:50] <bLUEE> hi there. i installed ubuntu using usb on my windows machine and i selected "windows boot loader" as one of the options which would allow me duel boot. however when loading when i select windows boot loader, it tries to load win by going to a black screen and then it goes back to ubuntu os selection screen. any ideas how to fix this? [17:51] <Turbolinux> Can you help me? Thank you for your help. [17:52] <SkippersBoss> TheChaoticGood: have you tried the alternative (text based) install iso instead [17:52] <jasonmsp> I've got a printer driver that is saying it requires gs package, but ghostscript is already installed (ghostscript-x). [17:53] <SDX> bLUEE: Do you have a Windows recovery partition or recovery disc? [17:53] <L3top> TheChaoticGood: I would recommend installing lubuntu over ubuntu in that circumstance [17:53] <Turbolinux> Is there anyone who is using Empathy with video and audio conversation functions on MSN platform? [17:53] <bLUEE> SDX: no :( [17:54] <Turbolinux> Or can you recommend a nice program? [17:54] <TheChaoticGood> I have not tried the text based install what is that? [17:54] <bLUEE> SDX: anything else? is it possible to edit the grub to fix it? [17:54] <TheChaoticGood> what is lubuntu? [17:54] <SDX> bLUEE: I'm at a loss then. Sorry. [17:54] <DJones> !lubuntu | TheChaoticGood [17:54] <ubottu> TheChaoticGood: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [17:54] <bLUEE> SDX: okes.. [17:54] <SkippersBoss> uses les memory to install. [17:54] <LordOfTime> TheChaoticGood: Lubuntu is ubuntu using the LXDE interf.. [17:54] <SDX> bLUEE: There could be, but I'm not experienced with GRUB. [17:54] <LordOfTime> DJones: don't ninja me :/ [17:54] <DJones> :) [17:54] <TheChaoticGood> how can I try the text based install. [17:54] <joeko> bLUEE, do you multiple hard drives [17:54] <SkippersBoss> the laptops, how much ram are we talking about [17:55] <L3top> TheChaoticGood: it is a light weight ubuntu specifically for laptops etc... esp older equip. Unity is a bit top heavy for your needs. [17:55] <bLUEE> joeko: i have partitions on a single drive on this laptop [17:55] <Turbolinux> Can Kopete do this job? [17:55] <DJones> TheChaoticGood: The text based install comes if you use the alternate install cd's for each version [17:56] <TheChaoticGood> so in order to use the text based install you ahve to get a different iso? [17:56] <SkippersBoss> yes [17:56] <fabiano> Hello folks! [17:56] <DJones> TheChaoticGood: You do need the alternate install cd for text based installs, the desktop cd's use a graphical install [17:56] <SkippersBoss> will those laptops boot from USB stick ?? [17:56] <joeko> bLUEE, can you use the grub cli to boot windows [17:57] <TheChaoticGood> lubuntu runs all the same software correct? [17:57] <L3top> yes... it is ubuntu under the hood [17:57] <bLUEE> joeko: how do i attempt to do that ? [17:57] <SkippersBoss> yes [17:58] <DJones> !who | SkippersBoss [17:58] <ubottu> SkippersBoss: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:58] <rhizmoe> erf. unified menu bar still grates [17:58] <multi_io> I have 10.04 and I DON'T see 12.04 as being available in the Update Manager. Why? [17:58] <Turbolinux> Can you help me? I must solve this problem. [17:58] <SkippersBoss> sorry DJONES [17:58] <fabiano> Could someone help me figure why cups are not workiing here please? [17:58] <Zally666> WHAT PROB? [17:59] <MonkeyDust> Zally666 caps [17:59] <ks07> Hey guys - how can I create a partition from the command line using all free space on the drive? [17:59] <multi_io> (I only see 10.10 if I switch in the settings to "show normal releases") [17:59] <rhizmoe> Turbolinux: isn't empathy video only available through google or something? [17:59] <DJones> SkippersBoss: No probs, was just thinking saying "yes" could apply to many people in that channel, better to say who you're replying to [17:59] <multi_io> is 12.04 out yet? [17:59] <L3top> multi_io: Firstly, it will not exist as an option until there is a point release. Secondly... I think you will have to go through a couple of other versions to get there... I don't know that you will be able to go directly fro LTS to LTS [17:59] <rhizmoe> maybe yahoo [17:59] <MonkeyDust> ks07 for a start, type sudo fdisk -l to see what it looks like [17:59] <rhizmoe> multi_io: i know a way to find out [17:59] <DJones> multi_io: Yes, April 2012 it was released [17:59] <fabiano> Maybe I've installed it wrong at Windows side, not sure, how do I check it? What do I need to check? [17:59] <xangua> multi_io: you will see it when 12.04.1 is aviable; but if you really want 12.04 now you can force the upgrade with update-manager -d i believe [17:59] <Turbolinux> rhizmoe: I can see both buttons but they are inactive. [17:59] <kypor> multi_io, - Yes [18:00] <Turbolinux> My camera is working. [18:00] <rhizmoe> Turbolinux: what did you see when you searched google? [18:00] <joeko> bLUEE, when the machine starts and displays the grub menu push e or push c [18:00] <rhizmoe> local camera means nothing [18:00] <xangua> L3top: yes you can go from LTS to LTS, that's the idea [18:00] <Oran> Hello guys, i hope u can help me out with my problem: i already read servel tuts, but cant figure out what to do to use my gt 540m on ubtunu 12.04 [18:00] <ks07> MonkeyDust: kk, can I just use the end value +1 for the start when creating a new partition in fdisk? [18:00] <Oran> it doesent seem to notice that there is the card [18:01] <multi_io> L3top: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34430/can-i-skip-over-releases they say it's possible to directly upgrade from LTS to LTS [18:01] <multi_io> that's why I was wondering :P [18:01] <rhizmoe> reboot sigh [18:01] <L3top> Yes... I said I didn't know multi_io and xangua... Now I do... you can... [18:01] <alankila> I have had poor experience upgrading lucid to precise myself, using the do-release-upgrade. Not sure why. [18:01] <SDX> Oran: You could try the Additional Drivers tool or downloading the driver from Nvidia's website. [18:01] <MonkeyDust> !partition | ks07 start here [18:01] <ubottu> ks07 start here: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [18:02] <ks07> 404 [18:02] <alankila> the update process crashed on some missing packages and I had to manually apt-get -f install it past. a simple dist-upgrade failed because python2.7 could not be upgraded by apt [18:02] <bLUEE> joeko: ah i see. i looked a windows bit of the code earlier, but i didnt understand it [18:02] <alankila> I had to just do dpkg -i manually for python2.7. Other than this kind of minor issues, though, I've successfully updated around 10 systems from lucid to precise. [18:02] <multi_io> xangua: ah, -d worked, thanks [18:03] <Oran> SDX , i tried to install the dowloaded ones from nvida (in tty after deacivation ligthdm ) and also i tried to install bumblebee and i added the xswap rep [18:03] <fabiano> At Windows side do I need to set it as a Internet Port or a TCP/IP POrt? [18:03] <L3top> multi_io: as someone else suggested, close update-manager, and open from terminal update-manager -d but... it might be wise to wait for a point release. 1204 is als VERY different than 1004. You might grab a dvd and load it in VM and see if you are comfortable with the change. [18:03] <Turbolinux> Rhizmoe: There isn't any clean information. Some of the users can use them. [18:03] <kyan> Hi. I've got a computer with no cd drive, and I'm trying to recover from a botched USB linux installation. I can't boot Windows or Linux now, and I can't make a super grub flash drive because unetbootin requires admin privileges (this is a public computer). [18:03] <kyan> Any thoughts?

[18:06] <Turbolinux> Or can I install MSN Messenger without any problems? [18:06] <Dshoe> So if I delete my windows (and system reserved) partition, move my Ubuntu partition, then I restore my windows backup? Or should I leave the system reserved partition?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [18:14] <xangua> mwallacesd: you'll want to use download helper, flashgot or one of the many download tools for firefox, flash is no longer stored on the /tmp/ directory if that is what you ask; is stored in some kind of limbo in the ram [18:14] <Turbolinux> Rhizmoe: Thank you for your help. Goodbye. [18:14] <panigrc> does anyone know about ubuntu cluster, I have old pcs and I wondered if I could build a cluster out of them [18:14] <B0g4r7> I like AMDs cards myself.

[18:15] <ubottu> jfroma: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:15] <adamk> jfroma: I can't speak about nvidia video cards, but any radeon HD5xxx or higher will have support for as many monitors as there are connectors with the open source driver.

[18:16] <adamk> jfroma: So, in your case, one of the monitors would have to be displayport. [18:16] <B0g4r7> You can get adapter cables though. [18:16] <adamk> Yeah, except I remember seeing folks in #radeon with problems when using those cables. [18:16] <B0g4r7> DP to HDMI, etc. [18:16] <adamk> But perhaps they're working now.

[19:36] <dark3n> crucial c300 [19:36] <i7c> westernanalog: are there any concerns? should work perfectly fine i guess [19:36] <westernanalog> i have ordered a ocz octane 64gb [19:36] <thomasie22> that is stupid [19:36] <thomasie22> cancel it [19:36] <thomasie22> it's very slow [19:37] <thomasie22> and brakes down ALOT [19:37] <westernanalog> but it is on a old laptop [19:37] <thomasie22> yeah [19:37] <thomasie22> but you like your data don't you? [19:37] <hop5uk> Anyone using ubuntu 12.04 server? [19:37] <westernanalog> did not like the breakdown part [19:37] <i7c> hop5uk: yep [19:37] <dark3n> I'm falling at booting from the fresh install =/ [19:37] <a1fa> remmina desktop sucks major balls.. i am considering uninstalling ubuntu because of it [19:37] <B0g4r7> westernanalog, I've heard some talk about aligning your partitions with the SSD's internal erase-block size for the best performance. [19:37] <thomasie22> i does that alot [19:38] <thomasie22> all OCZ drives and sandforce drives do that [19:38] <a1fa> keeps crash/disconnecting and not leaving any debug data [19:38] <beandog> B0g4r7: really? [19:38] <beandog> thats interesting. [19:38] <thomasie22> only buy Crucial, Samsung or Intel [19:38] <B0g4r7> I've heard that. Google it for some discussin and benchmarks and such, [19:38] <hop5uk> guntbert i spoke to you the other day about raid 5 ? [19:38] <a1fa> i got dual monitors, and as soon as i move my mouse to 2nd monitor it disconnects/crashes [19:38] <a1fa> what a TURD! [19:38] <phf_> Hi i think i am not having an ubuntu related problem, but i was wondering, if anybody, who knew about dealing with broadcom-wlan-drivers could give me a suggestion about how screwed i am. So inside my Dell-netbookt here's a wlan-controller, called BCM92046. Does anybody know, if there's a solution for "gettin' it goin'" with a linux system? [19:38] <westernanalog> hmmm [19:38] <B0g4r7> Also, you'll wanna look into activating TRIM support, if possible. [19:38] <westernanalog> must check this more [19:38] <beandog> phf_: check linuxwireless.org [19:39] <B0g4r7> Other than that, an SSD should be the same as magnetic media. [19:39] <beandog> B0g4r7: so, stupid question, is it okay to use journaled filesystems on there? I'm guessing yes [19:39] <B0g4r7> Sure, I don't see why not. [19:39] <guntbert> hop5uk: sorry, I don't remember - can I help? [19:39] <phf_> beandog: thanks a lot! [19:39] <beandog> When I install stuff on USB drives, I typically use ext2 [19:40] <beandog> as in, install an os [19:40] <MCl0vin> i have an issue with firefox, but i don't know how to describe it [19:42] <hop5uk> guntbert I have been trying for a week now to get my head around setting up a raid 5 array for 3 x storage disks in 12.04 server.I have my Op Sys on 2 x ssd drives which i configured as raid one during the initial installation.When i attach the 3 staorage drive,the seerver wont boot.I am kind of stuck,any help? [19:42] <B0g4r7> I'm also leery of cheap SSDs. I've only bought Intels myself. [19:42] <MonkeyDust> MCl0vin then we can't know how to help [19:42] <B0g4r7> And they work flawlessly. [19:42] <beandog> B0g4r7: intel is spendy sometimes, but it is high quality stuff [19:43] <cuddylier> Anyone know how to see how many files are open on my system? [19:43] <cuddylier> Like a number [19:43] <B0g4r7> cuddylier, 'sudl lsof | wc -l' [19:43] <B0g4r7> sudo that it, not sudl. [19:44] <cuddylier> Apparently wc -1 is unknown [19:44] <cuddylier> I need a number rather than a list of files as there is so many [19:44] <guntbert> hop5uk: that was probably not me - but I didn't quite understand your problem now: di you configure the 3 HD as raid array already? [19:44] <MonkeyDust> cuddylier wc -l not wc -1 [19:44] <cuddylier> Ah, k [19:45] <beandog> cuddylier: there's always gonna be a lot, just from the base system doing stuff (as in init, etc.) [19:45] <cuddylier> I have hit my limit of 1024 [19:45] <cuddylier> So, I'm trying to see how many I have open atm [19:45] <cuddylier> And then seeing the list to see why there is so many open [19:45] <cuddylier> Does it usually take a while for wc -l ? [19:45] <cuddylier> It's still doing it [19:46] <imbezol> i'm going to go on a limb and say you ran wc -l without piping something into it [19:46] <hop5uk> guntbert i have done it a few time with mdadm but it did not work properly.I have since remove the 3 drives and deleted the partitions by using a usb caddie attached a windows pc but i think there must be some remnant of the old array still on the disks [19:46] <geboy> excuse me, im trying to run keryx from a livecd ubuntu 12.04. but i cant make the file executable. how to make it executable? [19:47] <cuddylier> MonkeyDust Does it usually take a long time for it to display the results? [19:47] <imbezol> cuddylier: it should be almost instant [19:47] <B0g4r7> lsof can take a few seconds, but shouldn't take real long. [19:48] <cuddylier> Not for me :S [19:48] <cuddylier> It's taking like 5 mins still; [19:48] <cuddylier> oh, just did it [19:48] <cuddylier> A massive list of files [19:48] <imbezol> if you're counting lines from lsof and it's taking a long time, kill it, and try with "lsof -n" [19:48] <imbezol> the -n will make it not resolve everything and it will run very fast [19:48] <cuddylier> I dunno why there is so many, my minecraft server keeps saying "too many files open" [19:48] <dark3n> I did a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 from a usb stick onto the SSD in my laptop, upon reboot, it refuses to boot from the internal SSD with "read error". attaching the internal ssd via USB boots up fine [19:48] <cuddylier> Is there a way to see an actual number of open files though, imbezol? [19:49] <MCl0vin> MonkeyDust, have you ever used cisco net academy ? [19:49] <riktking_> hi, im trying to install unreal tournament on my laptop, it keeps failing http://pastebin.com/Tics0VEw is the error can anyone help me? [19:49] <imbezol> cuddylier: cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr [19:49] <cuddylier> k === Guest71960 is now known as Dorito [19:50] <imbezol> cuddylier: that will show your current and max [19:50] <cuddylier> Okay, it's also taking a long time lol [19:50] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, if you wanna erase the signature, it's mdadm --zero-superblock [19:51] <guntbert> hop5uk: I was searching, somewhere I stumbled upon a command to remove any raid entries from a HD - but I have not been successful yet [19:51] <imbezol> cuddylier: sounds like your system is choking [19:51] <cuddylier> Exactly [19:51] <cuddylier> I think it is [19:51] <cuddylier> My CPU is at 130% [19:51] <cuddylier> It doesn't apprechiate a 90 player mc server [19:51] <cuddylier> lol [19:51] <FloodBot1> cuddylier: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:52] <hop5uk> how do yopu get to a point where you can type in the commend when the system wont boot? [19:52] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, where in the boot process does it hang? [19:52] <hop5uk> guntbert <hop5uk> how do yopu get to a point where you can type in the commend when the system wont boot? [19:53] <cuddylier> It's still going!! [19:53] <cuddylier> Yay [19:53] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, if you can boot into single-user mode with kernel arg 'single', that might work. Or maybe you can put the disks in USB cases and connect them after boot. [19:54] <guntbert> hop5uk: (I'm only guessing right now): did you try to change the boot order? did you try with only one of those disks attached? [19:54] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 It goes past the bios screen then past the grub screen and then the screen goes black and nothing happens after that [19:55] <hop5uk> guntbert yes i have tried that [19:55] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, I'd fool with the kernel args, and make sure you're not booting with the 'splash' and/or 'quiet' options. Once you get rid of those it may give you some more clues as to what's going wrong. [19:56] <guntbert> hop5uk: in that case it actually did boot - what about the recovery system? [19:56] <hop5uk> B0g4rj sorry can you simplify that a bit [19:56] <hop5uk> guntbert [19:57] <MonkeyDust> MCl0vin no, have never use cisco [19:57] <MonkeyDust> used* [19:57] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, in the GRUB menu, you should haver an opportunity to modify the kernel boot arguments. Examine them, and remove 'splash' and 'quiet', if they're present. [19:57] <hop5uk> guntbert If i remove the storage disks the system boots correctly [19:58] <guntbert> hop5uk: sorry, I'm going to leave you to B0g4r7, my mind is too slow today - Good luck :-) [19:58] <hop5uk> guntbert thanks anyway [19:59] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 I selected recovery mode from the grub menu with all disks attached i am now looking at (initramfs).What now? [20:00] <PsynoKhi0> greetings, I've just upgraded to a Radeon HD7770 in precise, pulseaudio now fails to start, I think the hdmi output isn't properly recognized, is there a way to force alsa not to probe it? (pavucontrol won't start) [20:00] <MCl0vin> Monarquista, am having issues with firefox and flash [20:00] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, OK, well recovery isn't quite what I meant. Will GRUB allow you to boot the regular kernel in its regular mode, but with the option to modify its boot arguments? I think it usually wants you to hit 'e' or something to do that. [20:01] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 I can also see some information which tells me that the system is trying to start the array which was previously configured on these disks even though i have deleted all partions [20:02] <craigbass1976> Did something happen to the apache package lately? All of a sudden, I can't access some files from a browser that are set to 777 [20:02] <cuddylier> imbezol Is there a way to stop this command? It's still going [20:02] <cuddylier> And I'm worried something will happen [20:02] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, so at this point you're looking to just erase the raid signature from those drives, or...? [20:03] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 Yes i am [20:03] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 pressed e and got into another scree [20:03] <B0g4r7> craigbass1976, examine the entire directory tree that contains those files and make sure none of them disallow r or x to the apache user. I think that's what apache does. [20:03] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 [20:04] <hop5uk> I ythink this is the screen you were talking about [20:04] <panbing> I am a chinese [20:04] <cuddylier> imbezol Would rebooting my server reduce the files open? === mikestewart is now known as mikestewart|afk [20:04] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, OK, so you see splash and quiet there in the argument list? Remove them and then boot. [20:04] <craigbass1976> B0g4r7, but apache (www-data) owns them to begin with [20:04] <wylde_> !cn | panbing [20:04] <ubottu> panbing: 如欲獲得中文的協助,請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [20:05] <B0g4r7> craigbass1976, and does the www-data user (or all users) have r and x permission on all directories in the tree which contain the directory those files are in? [20:05] <accmanager> hi can some one help me setup a cronjob for ifdown wlan0 and ifup wla0 on reboot? I did make a script on /bin/wifistuff and edited crontan -e with @reboot /bin/wifistuff but when i reboot it does not start my wireless card what im i doing worng? thanks [20:06] * mikestewart|afk is away: Time goes, you say? Ah no! Alas, Time stays, we go.

[20:09] <B0g4r7> cuddylier, probably. [20:09] <cuddylier> I'll try that tomorrow :) I've been reaching the 1024 limit recently [20:09] <imbezol> cuddylier: it will make your files open 0 [20:09] <imbezol> cuddylier: but whether it'll go back to a crazy number after who knows [20:09] <B0g4r7> I think you can adjust those limits in /proc somewhere. [20:09] <accmanager> hi can some one help me setup a cronjob for ifdown wlan0 and ifup wla0 on reboot? I did make a script on /bin/wifistuff and edited crontan -e with @reboot /bin/wifistuff but when i reboot it does not start my wireless card what im i doing worng? thanks [20:10] <martijn_dekker> Hey. I have a TC1100 (ancient tablet pc) running Ubuntu 11.04, using the Classic look. Would upgrading to 12.04 slow it down or speed it up? I intend to use it for some graphical thigns [20:10] <imbezol> cuddylier B0g4r7 : /proc/sys/fs/file-max [20:10] <Pecker> martijn_dekker: graphical as in games of photo editing, or what exactly? [20:10] <cuddylier> That command you told me before imbezol it's still doing it [20:10] <B0g4r7> accmanager, any script run by cron is not going to get the regular $PATH and other environment variables. You will probably need to have your script use absolute paths to any files, etc. [20:11] <imbezol> cuddylier: you're pinned.. it can't even open files to run something [20:11] <imbezol> cuddylier: you might as well reboot [20:11] <martijn_dekker> Pecker, I mean as in Gimp and Mypaint [20:11] <cuddylier> My minecraft server is still fine [20:11] <cuddylier> Running fine I mean [20:11] <martijn_dekker> As some sort of external input device, actually :P [20:11] <cuddylier> With 64 online [20:11] <wylde_> accmanager: I believe you can simply add the appropriate scripts to /etc/network/ifup.dand /etc/network/if-down.d [20:11] <cuddylier> The last reboot I did was 80 days ago [20:11] <imbezol> cuddylier: you can just up your limit right now [20:12] <cuddylier> Is it a good idea to? [20:12] <imbezol> cuddylier: if you go "cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max" and finally get it to run.. [20:12] <cuddylier> I've done cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr [20:12] <imbezol> cuddylier: then do "echo XXXXX > /proc/sys/fs/file-max" where XXXXX is 25% more than the current value [20:12] <accmanager> wylde ill try that [20:12] <imbezol> cuddylier: ok, then you know the current max [20:12] <imbezol> cuddylier: the larger of those two values [20:12] <cuddylier> If I close putty will it stop the command? I know it is 1024 [20:12] <RamJett> wwd: Check /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart [20:13] <imbezol> cuddylier: what? really? that's extremely low [20:13] <skorv> can i have url redirection inside a server farm using one wan ip only (ubuntu powers my webservers) [20:13] <cuddylier> Yep [20:13] <cuddylier> That was the default [20:13] <martijn_dekker> To be more precise: I already use it for drawing occasionally, but I'm thinking of hooking it up to my pretty overpowered desktop pc and use it as a fancy tablet-with-screen (poor man's Cintiq style) for pretty much any pic that the desktop can handle [20:13] <wylde_> accmanager: there's also if-pre-up.d if you need something before the network is brought up === Zorro is now known as Guest47282 [20:13] <wwd> thanks RamJett [20:13] <cuddylier> If I close putty will my server go crazy? [20:13] <imbezol> cuddylier: do this then... "echo 1000000 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max" [20:13] <cuddylier> Because I've typed the command [20:13] <accmanager> ok thanks wylde [20:13] <imbezol> cuddylier: try ctrl-c to kill your current command [20:13] <cuddylier> What does that change it to? [20:13] <Pecker> anyone here with experience on LTSP? [20:13] <cuddylier> Good done [20:13] <cuddylier> Thanks [20:14] <B0g4r7> skorv, sure, you can use nave-based vhosting for any http sites. https is not so easy. [20:14] <imbezol> cuddylier: did it make a difference? [20:14] <B0g4r7> name [20:14] <cuddylier> It stopped the command [20:14] <cuddylier> Is that 100000 the file open limit? [20:14] <skorv> https is needed [20:14] <imbezol> yes [20:14] <skorv> nave based.... [20:14] <imbezol> i says 1 million though [20:14] <skorv> humm [20:14] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 r u still available [20:14] <cuddylier> Is it wise to have that limit? [20:14] <B0g4r7> still here hop5uk [20:14] <imbezol> cuddylier: it'll be fine [20:14] <cuddylier> I may try 2000 first [20:15] <cuddylier> Would 3000 be okay? [20:15] <imbezol> cuddylier: mine is just default and it's 780,000 [20:15] <cuddylier> Lol.. [20:15] <imbezol> cuddylier: i have no idea why yours would be so low [20:15] <imbezol> cuddylier: how much ram in that system? [20:15] <cuddylier> 16gb [20:15] <imbezol> cuddylier: the number is determined based on your ram.. and i only have 8 gb in this system. very strange [20:16] <B0g4r7> cuddylier, are you running a really old kernel or something? [20:16] <cuddylier> Kimsufi. [20:16] <martijn_dekker> Pecker, would you have any idea what the answer might be? [20:16] <cuddylier> I may need to say no more [20:16] <martijn_dekker> Or anyone else, for that matter? Would Ubuntu 12.04 be slower or faster than 11.04 on an old TC1100 tablet pc? [20:16] <Pecker> well if its already doing ok runnign 11.04, i dotn see 12.04 making it worse [20:16] <Rahul> hi guys [20:16] <Pecker> dont ask me tho, I dont use unity [20:17] <skorv> its actually something like this: www.domain.com goes to 10.0.0.1 ; sub1.domain.com goes to 10.0.0.2 and sub2.domain.com goes to 10.0.0.3 [20:17] <Dshoe|nunchaku> So i went to move my ubuntu partition in gparted and it ended up just extending my linux drive and now it said 50 GB of the 463 gb are used when the linux drive started as 50 GB [20:17] <Dshoe|nunchaku> Wtf? [20:17] <Pecker> i still use 10.04.. actually seen better fps in games in 10.04 than inn 12.04 [20:17] <Rahul> do you guys know the filesystem type that ubuntu runs best on [20:17] <Rahul> ? [20:17] <Dshoe|nunchaku> Sorry i mean 50GB are free [20:17] <cuddylier> imbezol Apparently I have no permission for echo 2500 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max [20:17] <imbezol> cuddylier: you have to be root [20:17] <Rahul> do you guys know the filesystem type that ubuntu runs best on? [20:17] <B0g4r7> The only reason I upgraded past 10.04 was for a newer Python. [20:17] <Rahul> do you guys know the filesystem type that ubuntu runs best on? [20:17] <Dshoe|nunchaku> As in 350GB of use came out of no where [20:17] <imbezol> cuddylier: try adding sudo in front of echo [20:17] <Rahul> do you guys know the filesystem type that ubuntu runs best on? [20:17] <cuddylier> Yes...I'm on a user account [20:18] <FloodBot1> Rahul: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:18] <cuddylier> I tried sudo [20:18] <imbezol> cuddylier: and? [20:18] <Rahul> just tell me do you guys know the filesystem type that ubuntu runs best on? [20:18] <imbezol> cuddylier: root definitely has access to write to that file [20:18] <Dshoe> Sorry back [20:18] <Rahul> some1 answer me!!!!!! [20:18] <cuddylier> If I do it on root, does it do it for the user "ryan"? [20:18] <Myrtti> Rahul: ext3 or ext4 [20:18] <Dshoe> Can anyone help me? [20:18] <cuddylier> I have access to the root account [20:18] <Rahul> thx [20:19] <Myrtti> !patience | Rahul [20:19] <ubottu> Rahul: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [20:19] <imbezol> cuddylier: hmm.. maybe not.. sec.. [20:19] <cuddylier> Just, I use one called "ryan" [20:19] <cuddylier> For some reason [20:19] <Pecker> Dshoe: soudns like you extened the partition [20:19] <ufrgs> If I want to my windows always open as List and reduces 50% how do I do that? [20:19] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 I need to remove the raid signatures using either the recovery mode in Grub or some other method [20:19] <ufrgs> Couldn't find anything related on google. [20:19] <Pecker> Rahul: why is knowing the best so important? [20:19] <Dshoe> Pecker yea but now it says theres an extra 350GB IN USE! [20:19] <Moesbie> is there a way to see what a PPA did to install something? [20:19] <Dshoe> Idk where it came from [20:19] <imbezol> cuddylier: what's the output of "ulimit -Sn" and "ulimit -Hn" ? [20:19] <Pecker> thast weird [20:19] <ufrgs> Perhaps I am too newbie about it :P [20:19] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, Well, if you can get to a shell, the command is 'mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdx' replacing x with thge appropriate device name. [20:20] <Rahul> Pecker: because i want it to be fast [20:20] <Dshoe> And now i cant shrink my drive for my windows partition [20:20] <cuddylier> imbezol 1024 and 1024 [20:20] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 I will try that from recovery mode now [20:20] <imbezol> cuddylier: try this.. "sysctl -w fs.file-max=100000" [20:20] <imbezol> cuddylier: that's your problem.. your ulimit is too low [20:21] <imbezol> cuddylier: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-increase-the-maximum-number-of-open-files/ [20:21] <Pecker> well different partition types wotn give you the same speedup that say adding ram will [20:21] <cuddylier> it seems to be working [20:21] <Pecker> so just use ext4 [20:21] <Rahul> 2 bad ubuntu dosent run exex without wine [20:21] <Rahul> exe [20:21] <hpux_sux> Hello, is it possible to have low Read/Write speed and occassional Samba hanging due to unproperly mounted NTFS filesystem? [20:21] <imbezol> cuddylier: even if the system limit goes up, your per user limit is 1024 [20:21] <cuddylier> yeah..so this wont work ? [20:21] <szerzetes> hy, I have a chine usb bluetooth stick, and the xubuntu 12.04 coudn't use, what sould i do? [20:21] <cuddylier> imbezol Worked [20:21] <imbezol> cuddylier: you'll probably want to adjust the per limit user up too... in /etc/security/limits.conf [20:22] <cuddylier> How do I do that like the other command? [20:22] <imbezol> cuddylier: you'll have to logout and back in though to see the affect.. so the "login" that's currently running your mc won't be fixed until you restart the server [20:22] <cuddylier> Ah..I'll do a restart tomorrow :) [20:22] <cuddylier> But, how do I change the user limit just incase? [20:22] <Dshoe> I think im just going to have to format and start over :( [20:22] <imbezol> cuddylier: do set it though in the limits.conf otherwise you'll run into this again after a reboot [20:23] <imbezol> cuddylier: and set the system limit permanently in sysctl.conf [20:23] <imbezol> cuddylier: see that link i gave you :) [20:23] <cuddylier> Oh, okay [20:23] <cuddylier> Thanks a lot [20:24] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 it says CREATE user root not found [20:24] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, in response to your mdadm command? That's rather odd... [20:25] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 I will try and connect via USB [20:26] <cuddylier> imbezol -sh: start_pipeline: pgrp pipe: Too many open files in system -sh: /usr/bin/vi: Too many open files in system [20:26] <cuddylier> imbezol My mc server just went crazy.. [20:26] <cuddylier> And died [20:27] <B0g4r7> cuddylier, I'd say your system may have a resource leak [20:27] <cuddylier> :S [20:28] <cuddylier> It's absolutely messed [20:28] <cuddylier> Is it my hardware? [20:28] <cuddylier> My cpu is 130% [20:28] <B0g4r7> I'd guess software. [20:28] <cuddylier> It is the kernal ovh offer [20:28] <cuddylier> I have [20:29] <cuddylier> I think I'll just get a new server [20:29] <cuddylier> This one is trash :( [20:29] <cuddylier> I'll try that command again [20:29] <B0g4r7> It sounds like some process is running away with things. Opening files and never closing them, spawning processes and never terminating them, etc. [20:29] <cuddylier> Bukkit [20:29] <cuddylier> But,apparently this shouldn't be happening [20:29] <B0g4r7> You'll need to monitor the system resource use when it's still in a working state. [20:30] <Battlecat> Hi Sorry to ask this again. I find it a bit frustrating but I need to have a decent set of DVDs for the Ubuntu repos to use to install to a set of machines that have no internet connection. Are there any ISO files anywhere for 12.04 of this? [20:30] <B0g4r7> And see if you can see a trend of what's going out of control, before it wedges up the system completely. [20:31] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 I disconnected all the drives and boot ed the server.I made a list of the drives with the fdisk command and found that the drive was sdc.I then run tyhe commend as SU and it gave me Couldn't open /devsdc for write - not zeroing [20:31] <Pecker> anyone here with experience on LTSP? [20:32] <MonkeyDust> Battlecat why not just download the cds or dvds? [20:33] <Battlecat> MonkeyDust Would that have all the possible software like Ubuntu Studio on it? [20:33] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, I'm a little unclear on quite what you're describing doing. You will, of course, need to have the drives connected to be able to write to them. You will also find that the drive device node assignments tend to change when you add or remove drives. [20:34] <MonkeyDust> Battlecat yes [20:35] <MonkeyDust> Battlecat ubuntu studio just has other software preinstalled and perhaps also non-free codecs available [20:35] <Battlecat> So whats not on the DVD? I see that the DVD is only a bit over a gig not really like the whole thing. The machines I have are not on any network and I need a set of DVDs for them [20:35] <hop5uk> B0g4r7I cannot boot when i have the 3 storage drives connected so i disconnected all of them and then once the system had booted i connected one of them by using a USB caddie [20:36] <cuddylier> Imbezol vi: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: Error 23 [20:36] <MonkeyDust> Battlecat what's not on the dvd, is in the repos, if you need ubuntu studio, just download that cd or dvd [20:36] <B0g4r7> oh I see hop5uk. So something's blocking you from writing to that device. Maybe if you use hdparm you can enable writing? [20:37] <MonkeyDust> Battlecat it seems there's no ubuntu studio 12.04 yet http://ubuntustudio.org/downloads [20:38] <Battlecat> I guess what I want is to have a set of DVDs that no matter (within reason) I want to install I wont see you need to connect to the internet. [20:38] <X-tonic> hey i wish to do perform a version bump for a software in the repo. How do i go about it? [20:38] <MonkeyDust> X-tonic a version bump? [20:39] <X-tonic> yes, a newer version is available outside the repo in debian [20:39] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 How do you use it? [20:39] <X-tonic> as in the newer version is present in debian unstable. I want to get it in ubuntu repo [20:39] <MonkeyDust> X-tonic debian may not be completely compatible with ubuntu [20:39] <Pecker> Im trying to build LTSP client onto a separate /opt partition, but it fails with unable to mount with noexec or nodev [20:40] <MonkeyDust> X-tonic canonical decides what comes in the repos [20:40] <alankila> X-tonic: eh, just download the dpkg files once and try dpkg -i them... you could get by pretty easily [20:40] <X-tonic> MonkeyDust: The one I am talking of, doesnt have any ubuntu modification patches in it. [20:40] <theseus> first time using Tomcat Apache webserver, anyone know what the local URL for the default website is? I cant seem to get it to launch. [20:40] <squirrel> Hi? [20:41] <MonkeyDust> X-tonic then download it from outside the repos and hope it doesnt ruin your system === squirrel is now known as Guest11783 [20:41] <Bronylicious> hello, i can't install ubuntu server on my other computer, i have tried both with USB and CD-Rom, but nothing works, i have set the first boot device to be "USB-HDD", second one to be "CDROM" and third one to be "HDD-0", but it still wont work, so how do i make it work? i can't get to boot menu either( i have tried to use F8, F11 and F12, nothing works) so i cant run it via that. any help? [20:42] <ska> I'm installing another version of ubuntu on a AMD LLANO A6 system for HTPC. I want to install a lightweight version of Ubuntu that is mostly compatible. What version should I run, ? [20:42] <skorv> any idea how to, from a single wan ip, redirect like this www.domain.com goes to 10.0.0.1 ; sub1.domain.com goes to 10.0.0.2 and sub2.domain.com goes to 10.0.0.3 [20:42] <jagginess> Bronylicious, i'm actually on a ubuntu usb.. so it does work from usb [20:43] <skorv> i'm clueless [20:43] <dougmencken> hi guys; sorry for this; but I got a problem [20:43] <X-tonic> MonkeyDust: So you are saying that any package that Ubuntu developers havent noticed in the world or not bothered to update yet hasa chance of ruining my system? [20:43] <ska> Can I run 32-bit system? Should I? 32 would run faster i bet. [20:43] <SkippersBoss> ska:lubuntu and xubuntu are the light ones [20:43] <Bronylicious> jagginess, it doesnt work for me on that computer [20:43] <dougmencken> http://pastebin.com/Z6vqXtZP [20:43] <Pecker> skorv: apache redirects? idk [20:43] <Guest11783> Hi, I have a dual boot with ubuntu 12.04 [20:43] <jagginess> Bronylicious, does the install load? or does the install install but you cant boot the "installed" ? [20:44] <skorv> all servers run http/https [20:44] <Guest11783> I moved a file from windows and into linux and it got tagged as root [20:44] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 One question will the raid signature be kept on the disk even though i have completely deleted the original partition? [20:44] <skorv> actually https only on the subdomains [20:44] <MonkeyDust> X-tonic you or anyone else can add a vicious piece in that not-controlled package, so yes [20:44] <ska> I can access all my memory by using a special PAE kernel in 32bit right? [20:44] <MonkeyDust> piece of code* [20:45] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, yeah, it may well still be there. Just zapping the partition table doesn't change much. [20:45] <Guest11783> I mean, I mounted windows partition and moved a folder into linux and all the files in it were tagged as root. I couldn't get anything in it to work so I deleted [20:45] <Bronylicious> jagginess, i installed ubuntu 10.10 on it before, but now i can't get to the installation startup for 12.04 server, but it takes the installation cd for 10.10 [20:46] <Guest11783> But now I can't empty the recycle bin anymore [20:46] <dougmencken> how to resolve my apt-gt problem? [20:46] <Bronylicious> jagginess, so no, it doesnt load installer [20:46] <Guest11783> Any help? [20:46] <itaylor57> ska, if your system is capable of 64bit your should install that not 32 [20:46] <roasted> Question - are there zoom in/out options for 12.04 or do you need compiz installed for that? I want to do a screencast but I want to zoom in during part of it. [20:46] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, if you can erase the first few megabytes of the device that would probably get it. 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1m count=3' [20:46] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 I now have 3 x 1 TB drives that are useless unless i can get rid of it somehow [20:46] <jagginess> Bronylicious, the 12.04 installer does not boot for both as a usbinstaller or cdinstaller ? [20:47] <Bronylicious> jagginess, nope [20:47] <ki4ro> roasted: I use CTRL + and CTRL - [20:47] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, how frustrating. For me, if the raid(s) have a problem, I'm given the option to drop to a shell to try and fix. [20:47] <jagginess> Bronylicious, did you md5 checksum the iso? [20:47] <Guest11783> Where is the trash folder in ubuntu? [20:47] <roasted> ki4ro: thanks, that helps for text but not exactly what I was after [20:47] <Guest11783> I need to open it as root. [20:48] <Bronylicious> jagginess, no [20:48] <plouffe> Guest11783, restore the rooted folder, then delete using sudo rm -rf <folder> [20:48] <doug_f> How can I prevent old kernel headder files from staying around? [20:48] <kyconquers> is there a ubuntu version of ti connect? I have my TI 84 plus silver but have lost the cd and cord. I bought a new cord. [20:48] <Guest11783> I already moved to trash and I can't get it out [20:49] <plouffe> ~/local/share/Trash [20:49] <Guest11783> When I go into trash it says I don't have permission to view contents [20:49] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 i get the message that the 1 m is invalid number [20:49] <plouffe> .local sorry not local [20:49] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, try 1M maybe? [20:50] <OerHeks> Guest11783, The trash folder is found at: /home/username/.local/share/Trash and If you deleted something via sudo, it's at: /root/.local/share/Trash [20:50] <Bronylicious> jaginess how do i md5 cheksum the iso? [20:50] <Bronylicious> jagginess, never done that before [20:50] <jagginess> Bronylicious, http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ [20:51] <jagginess> Bronylicious, (this too https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM) [20:51] <jagginess> Bronylicious, a unique math number is made from any file.. this number has to match the reported checksum from MD5SUMS [20:52] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 3+0 records in the the same out but the superblock command still doesn't work [20:52] <jagginess> (sha1sums is another math algorithm used for the same purpose) [20:52] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, That's good. Maybe you got it now on that drive. [20:52] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, yo can also try mdadm --examine to see if it still sees a signature on a device or not. [20:53] <jagginess> Bronylicious, and if the number doesnt match then you need to re-download the iso.. highlu this isnt the case, but to be sure this is always a first step.. [20:53] <hop5uk> B0g4r7 sudo mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdc mdadm: Couldn't open /dev/sdc for write - not zeroing [20:54] <jagginess> hop5uk, mdadm should be used with allocated partitions [20:54] <organiks> hey all [20:54] <hop5uk> jagginess sorry i'm a bit of a noob [20:55] <jagginess> hop5uk, in theory its possible to, but in reality partitions should be allocated.. [20:55] <hop5uk> Does that mean i should create a partion first [20:55] <jagginess> hop5uk, mdadm is used for software raid.. "raid" type software partiitions can be made in linux -- 1- with a parted tool 2-then use mdadm against those partitions [20:56] <Guest11783> This thing is really glitched [20:56] <Guest11783> I can't delete it === jeff_ is now known as Guest61426 [20:56] <jagginess> hop5uk, When you use step 2-, you assemble an array.. then you have an md0p1 partition.. you'd format/work on md0p# partitions for ext4 ext.. [20:56] <Guest61426> how do i get the mp3 codec for lubuntu [20:56] <hop5uk> jagginess so i should partition the disks first whilst connected to USB? [20:57] <MonkeyDust> Guest61426 activate restricted areas [20:57] <jagginess> hop5uk, i gave you a broad overview.. [20:57] <Nepherius> hey, any idea why my display turns off at the grub screen until ubuntu loads ? [20:57] <Bronylicious> jagginess, the md5sum matched the one on the site [20:57] <B0g4r7> hop5uk, I tend to use partitions for all my raid members, rather than whole disks. [20:57] <organiks> im trying to install skype 4.0 and when i do it does not bind to ubuntu 12.04 [20:57] <jagginess> hop5uk, intel is continuously improving mdadm.. so there's definitely documentation with them.. i can try to find some sources.. [20:58] <jagginess> hop5uk, also the desktop iso doesnt support raid upon install, but the server iso does [20:58] <MonkeyDust> organiks skype 4 is bleeding edge, you're a pioneer if you try to use it [20:58] <jagginess> hop5uk, unless they changed this after 11.10 [20:58] <jagginess> Bronylicious, that's good [20:58] <jagginess> Bronylicious, so its either the install media or something else.. [20:58] <organiks> i have installed the one from the softwarecenter but it crashes then i send report and it tells me software not installed [20:59] <jagginess> Bronylicious, did you try boot options with the installer? [20:59] <Bronylicious> jagginess how do you mean? [20:59] <organiks> MonkeyDust: which ver should i use? [21:00] <MonkeyDust> organiks the version that worked last time [21:00] <hop5uk> jagginess I created a Raid 1 erray on 2 SSDs to deal with my Opsys.This seems to work as md0 and md1.This was easy when i used the install disk for server 12.04.Could i maybe boot of the disk again and make a raid 5 array with my storage disks [21:00] <SkippersBoss> organiks: I avaoid software centre like the plague Its slow laging and when there is trouble it will not tell you whats wrong. Just installed the skype deb straight from the skype site [21:00] <Gyges> Guest11783, can u send a 'ls -al' of the folder? [21:01] <SkippersBoss> Just had a video chat as well and everything seems to be going smoothly apart that my call window now mimiks the Windoos version [21:01] <jagginess> hop5uk, you'll need to research that.. [21:01] <ancarius_> is there a possible substitute for the ALPS driver? i have a dell laptop and the trackpad keeps getting recognized as PS/2 [21:02] <jagginess> ancarius_, probably evdev :/ === ztag100 is now known as Guest69237 === ztag100_ is now known as ztag100 [21:03] <ancarius_> well...that would some SOME problems i guess. though i was really looking forward to multitouch support [21:04] <ancarius_> especially since the trackpad doesn't include a scroll section [21:04] <cuddylier> Does mysql auto start on a server reboot? [21:04] <jagginess> Bronylicious, try acpi=off or nomodeset-- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [21:04] <Pecker> is there a way to set networkmanager to host dhcp on a specific interface? [21:04] <Relondo> How can I unzip a .tar.gz file and then make it executable? [21:04] <Gyges> cuddylier, sysv-rc-conf controls which init in which runlevel [21:05] <cuddylier> I think it auto started [21:05] <cuddylier> But I'm not sure [21:05] <cuddylier> What does that command actually do? [21:05] <Relondo> *Extract, decompress, whatever. [21:05] <cuddylier> Oh.. [21:05] <Gyges> it lets you change [21:05] <cuddylier> I see [21:05] <beandog> Relondo: tar xf <file> to extract it [21:05] <jagginess> Relondo, .tar.gz -- you can extract it visually with ark or another gui archive tool [21:05] <Gyges> service mysql status [21:05] <B0g4r7> tar -zxf for a .tgz. [21:05] <jagginess> Relondo, btw.. its extracting (not unzipping-- unzipping is for .zip files) [21:05] <beandog> B0g4r7: don't need -z [21:05] <beandog> or -j [21:06] <Guest11783> I have a folder I made called Games in home and it isn't recognized as even being there [21:06] <Relondo> beandog: K. [21:06] <beandog> B0g4r7: habit for me, but apparently it's supported that for years. -_- [21:06] <B0g4r7> ya don't huh? I've always used 'em... [21:06] <B0g4r7> Well whaddya know... [21:06] <beandog> B0g4r7: yah I just found out like last month [21:06] <Relondo> jajgginess: Yeah, that's what years of Windows does to a person. But how do I do it visually? [21:06] <Guest11783> I tried to LS it or CD it and it keeps saying that it doesn't exist [21:06] <genii-around> Guest11783: You probably need it to make it inside of /home/your-username/ instead of /home [21:06] <Guest11783> It is in my home directory/username [21:07] <jagginess> Relondo, should be in the menu [21:07] <beandog> Guest11783: what are you looking for? [21:07] <jagginess> Relondo, accessories/archive manager [21:07] <Bronylicious> jagginess how do i edit the grub file manually then, since it just starts the OS everytime instead of the other two that should start first? [21:07] <jagginess> (or may be in the right-click open-with in the file navigator) [21:08] <jagginess> !grub [21:08] <ubottu> 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) [21:08] <Relondo> jagginess: Oh, right click + extract. Silly me. Also, how do I give myself permanent root access? It's annoying to have to terminal + sudo everything. [21:08] <Gyges> Guest11783, try this: open it in the file manager, then grab the path from the pathline and do this: cd 'path' [21:08] <jagginess> Relondo, be careful [21:08] <beandog> Relondo: sudo su - ; visudo [21:08] <Gyges> soory [21:08] <Relondo> jagginess: Why? Is it any different from being a permanent administrator on windows? [21:08] <MonkeyDust> Relondo permanent root access != good idea [21:09] <Saeryn> Relondo: Yes [21:09] <beandog> Relondo: change %admin line to %admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL [21:09] <Relondo> beandog: Thanks. [21:09] <beandog> Relondo: then just do sudo <foo> and it at least won't ask for password. [21:09] <beandog> or just do "sudo su -" and have fun [21:09] <Relondo> beandog: Alright. [21:09] <Relondo> saeryn: How so? [21:10] <beandog> Relondo: oh, add your user to admin. Probably not in there. groupadd admin; gpasswd -a username admin [21:10] <Pecker> is there a way to set networkmanager to host dhcp on a specific interface? (not ICS, want it to server up 192.168.0.1) [21:10] <Relondo> beandog: Rather long process, isn't it? [21:10] <beandog> Relondo: meh. It's normal. [21:10] <beandog> Usually you have wheel group [21:10] <beandog> ubuntu uses admin [21:11] <Saeryn> Relondo: sudo is there because running in root all the time isn't the best idea. Unless you have specific reasons to be in root, using sudo is the best approach ESPECIALLY for those new to *nix. [21:11] <Gyges> Pecker, need to install dhcp-server [21:11] <Relondo> beandog: Alright. Thanks. [21:11] * beandog agress with Saeryn [21:11] <Relondo> saeryn: Okay. Perhaps I'll hold off on that, then. [21:11] <Pecker> Gyges: I did, trying to setup LTSP on existing machine... [21:12] <Gyges> ok [21:12] <Relondo> Sometimes, my launcher bar seems to be frozen in display mode, though I have it set to hide until I mouse over it. Anyone know why? [21:12] <beandog> Relondo: what I told you, you just won't need to type password everytime you run sudo [21:12] <Gyges> as for the interface, you have to set it in a static ip [21:12] <Pecker> nasically want networkmanager to play nice [21:13] <Saeryn> Relondo: Once you get a better grip on things it isnt so bad to run as root however there are programs that won't always run as root, not to mention the massive security hole it opens. [21:13] <jagginess> Saeryn, ? [21:13] <jagginess> Saeryn, you mean "services" . [21:14] <jagginess> pff [21:14] <Relondo> saeryn: Got it. [21:14] <Saeryn> jagginess? [21:14] <jagginess> Saeryn, you're saying it's ok to run things as root as a normal user.. that's wrong. [21:15] <beandog> that's not how I read that [21:15] <Saeryn> No. [21:15] <Relondo> saeryn: So, really, I just want to be able to access all files. How can I do that, without running as root? [21:15] <R33p3R> hey [21:15] <jagginess> well then clarify .. because I want to know which program/s dont always run properly as normal user.. [21:15] <beandog> Relondo: sudo nautilus :D [21:16] <Relondo> beandog: Is that permanent, or just for this session? [21:16] <beandog> Relondo: just that session [21:16] <Saeryn> jagginess I'm saying that for someone unexperienced, who wants to run as root, and then say want's to open vlc, they'll be confused and annoyed, then have a lot more issues and questions. [21:16] <Relondo> beandog: How can I do it permanently? Or is that a bad idea, too? [21:16] <beandog> Relondo: uh [21:17] <beandog> Relondo: Make a shell script that sits on your desktop or something. I guess. [21:17] <beandog> Relondo: at this point I'm wondering why you need it. :) [21:17] <beandog> or just do alt f2 and run it [21:17] <beandog> that's easy enough [21:17] <Relondo> beandog: It's just annoying that I can't acccess half of my filesystem. Have to use sudo and terminal commands to copy stuff. [21:17] <Bronylicious> jagginess where can i find the grub.cfg file in the iso then? cause its not in /boot/grub/ [21:17] <jagginess> beandog, he's so new to linux i think telling him to make a script is totally out of the question. [21:17] <beandog> Relondo: what part can't you access? [21:18] <gutis89> hey guys! im trying to run an application .exe via wine but the program just don't connects with the internet. could anyone help me? [21:18] <Relondo> beandog: Most stuff /usr, for example. [21:18] <beandog> jagginess: ah, k [21:18] <beandog> Relondo: like ... what? [21:18] <Relondo> gutis89: Did you check the wine forums for your particular program? [21:18] <beandog> You shouldn't really need anything on the system [21:18] <beandog> outside of your home directory [21:18] <jagginess> Bronylicious, you edit grub rules in /etc/default and /etc/grubxxxx/ .. then do update-grub2 -- this updates grub.cfg somewhere in /boot ... the grub1-2 stage loader looks for grub.cfg .. -- don't edit grub.cfg directly because you'll lose changes when you update kernel packages [21:19] <Relondo> beandog: Alright, right now, I'm trying to install Java. I can't access the folders where the website recommends to install it. [21:19] <gutis89> Relondo it's a program of a 'students challenge' that i am in, i think it wont have any solution there = / [21:20] <jagginess> Relondo, package default-jre [21:20] <Relondo> gutis89: Ah. That's all I've got, then. Sorry :( [21:20] <beandog> Relondo: oh okay. Well normally I'd say install java through regular channels, but I don't know how to install it. jagginess has the right idea I think [21:20] <gutis89> Relondo thank's anyway [21:20] <Relondo> jagginess: God that's much easier. [21:20] <Relondo> gutis89: Yep. [21:21] <Relondo> jagginess: ...how do I install packages? [21:21] <Saeryn> Relondo: Why not YouTube some videos on Basic Ubuntu Operations? [21:22] <Relondo> saryn: I have slow internet. But I suppose I could google it. [21:22] <jagginess> Relondo, try the ubuntu software center [21:22] <Saeryn> There are a ton. Beginnners forums and AskUbuntu help as well. [21:22] <beandog> forums++ [21:22] <Saeryn> Relondo; If you use Google look at Google's site: feature.

[21:29] <Saeryn> No problem Relondo, just be careful, research before asking and most important.

For some reason, my 12.04 Unity on Zenbook does not have that brightness pop-up thing when adjusting screen brightness with function keys directly from keyboard. Why is that? [21:31] <Jonii_> It has it for adjusting sound [21:31] <Relondo> saeryn: Oh, I already don't. But I have two problems that I'm pretty sure ARE bugs. Or "issues" if you want to be politically correct.

[21:31] <Saeryn> Relondo Then feel free to ask about them once you've researched them a bit :) [21:31] <Bronylicious> ok, now what? [21:32] <Relondo> saeryn: Reasearching now. Again. I'll ask around here if I can't find anything. [21:34] <Bronylicious> bastidrazor, now what? [21:34] <Pecker> yairgo: is it moving the mouse when you press on numpad [21:34] <bastidrazor> Bronylicious: reboot [21:34] <Pecker> this happened to me twice: go into keyboard settings and set it to NOT use eyboard as mouse [21:34] <Pecker> idk how it got set ...twice... [21:34] <Pecker> and this is with 10.04 [21:35] <yairgo> Pecker I don't know. I just moved the keyboards to different usb ports and it is working now [21:35] <Pecker> go to system->preferences->keyboard [21:35] <Bronylicious> bastidrazor, ok now what? it still wont start my cdrom and USB with the installation disk for the server [21:35] <Pecker> uncheck box in mouse keys tab [21:38] <tomasz> siemanko [21:39] <tomasz> czy tu sie pisze po polskiemu ?

[21:40] <tomasz> how i can change chanel ? [21:40] <cuddylier> So I aint so restrcited [21:40] <imbezol> cuddylier: just takes a bit of tuning to do what you're doing [21:40] <imbezol> cuddylier: no [21:40] <Bronylicious> bastidrazor hello, you there? now what?

[22:21] <FLeiXiuS> ActionParsnip, Top doenst help. [22:21] <meet> still anyone? Bodsda: any answer? :P [22:21] <Bronylicious> ikonia i have tried the ones that it usually is (F8, F11 and F12) [22:21] <ActionParsnip> FLeiXiuS: or ntop [22:21] <Bronylicious> ikonia, doesnt work [22:21] <FLeiXiuS> ActionParsnip, There is no network traffic. [22:22] <Bodsda> meet: my point was that you can't put a time on it because it depends on the number of packages and the capabilities of the pc [22:22] <ActionParsnip> FLeiXiuS: oh, just cpu and mem will definately show in top [22:22] <ikonia> Bronylicious: do you "KNOW" they are the right keys [22:22] <FLeiXiuS> ActionParsnip, Did u even read my problem?? [22:22] <FLeiXiuS> lol [22:22] <ActionParsnip> bibi23: try it is all I can say [22:22] <FLeiXiuS> CPU/Mem / Disk IO are low - yet my load averages are ridiculously high. [22:22] <ikonia> FLeiXiuS: it's a load average not a "at this moment" figure [22:22] <meet> Bodsda: just needed an estimate mate.. not like 123 minutes and 21 seconds and 3 millisec etc! [22:22] <Bronylicious> ikonia, yes, cause the F8 worked before but not anymore [22:23] <ActionParsnip> FLeiXiuS: high load averages...the processes using a lot of cpu will show [22:23] <ikonia> Bronylicious: what hardware are you trying to actually install onto [22:23] <FLeiXiuS> ActionParsnip, No process is using CPU [22:23] <CrazyGangster> ActionParsnip: thanks for the info [22:23] <Saeryn> FLeiXiuS: Ikonia is saying that it isn't a real time average but over-time calculation. [22:23] <FLeiXiuS> ikonia, Agreed; however, the averages are consistently high. [22:24] <Bodsda> meet: no upgrade has ever taken me more than 40 minutes on a 6 core 3GHz processor with 8GB of RAM, a 100Mb internet connection [22:24] <FLeiXiuS> Even over time the averages are through the roof. There's no real measurement to figure out why either. [22:24] <bibi23> ActionParsnip: ok, there is no risk to loose anything sound or image? [22:24] <ikonia> FLeiXiuS: please show me the output of the command "uptime" [22:24] <Bronylicious> ikonia, amd athlon(tm) xp 2100+ but i dont know the processor(its kinda old) [22:24] <bibi23> they start this way : aticonfig --set-pcs-u32= [22:25] <FLeiXiuS> ikonia, all three times are over > 5 [22:25] <ikonia> Bronylicious: the server install CD has certain cpu requirements, you may no longer be meeting them [22:26] <Bronylicious> ikonia, i see... well i did suspect that deeply inside( since it's slowly dying) [22:27] <ActionParsnip> bibi23: your backups will take care of that [22:27] <bibi23> ActionParsnip: aticonfig doesn't look installed, if I do apt-get aticonfig doesn't find it neither...

[22:31] <pandu> I do :P [22:31] <alankila> it's not even a cpu usage measurement, in fact [22:31] <alankila> it is the average number of runnable tasks [22:31] <FLeiXiuS> zykotick9, that is 1000 times incorrect. [22:31] <FLeiXiuS> ActionParsnip, Yes [22:32] <ActionParsnip> pandu: ask the channel and it wil reply, if it can [22:32] <ActionParsnip> FLeiXiuS: then who cares B) [22:32] * zykotick9 load average: 7.26, 7.32, 7.73 [22:32] <bibi23> ActionParsnip: I went to hardware drivers and 2 ATI drivers weren't activated, it's currently being installed, I'm full of hope :) [22:32] <FLeiXiuS> ActionParsnip, my sip calls care ;-) [22:32] <pandu> how to show the icon of wireless connection at launcher ?

[22:38] <laserbled> Hi, can I know what is the last hex value I see when I do a /proc/modules ? [22:39] <zykotick9> FLeiXiuS: to see that load, is infact, a cpu measuremeant see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_%28computing%29 for an explanation [22:39] <pandu> desktop system ? where is the desktop system's place ?

Absolute beginner here, quick question: From the terminal, is it possible to open a jpg to view? I'm just messing around trying to get used to this. [22:39] <FLeiXiuS> zykotick9, Sure if your going to quote wikipedia. Load not only depends on CPU but IO availability. [22:39] <bibi23> ActionParsnip: now the command works, but "No layout section was found in the file: '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'." for sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-u32=DDX,EnableTearFreeDesktop,1 , .... [22:39] <FLeiXiuS> That's the entire intent of process queuing [22:39] <zykotick9> FLeiXiuS: incorrect! [22:40] <pandu> no [22:40] <pandu> yes [22:40] <pandu> okay :P [22:40] <zykotick9> FLeiXiuS: please don't fight me on this... load 1 = 100% cpu utiliaztion, that's all it is. [22:40] <ActionParsnip> pandu: did you first upgrade from Natty to Oneiric, then upgrade Oneiric to Precise? [22:40] <bibi23> and still can't see it in the sound app [22:41] <pandu> nooo ActionParsnip [22:41] <FLeiXiuS> zykotick9, Then explain how top returns <1 percent utilization for total CPU usage. [22:41] <pandu> wait, I mean Yes [22:41] <FLeiXiuS> It may be kernel CPU processing that perhaps I cant see. [22:41] <pandu> 11.10 [22:41] <FLeiXiuS> No idea [22:41] <pandu> then 12.04 [22:41] <zykotick9> FLeiXiuS: is you had load = 3, then if you had 3 identical computers they'd all be at cpu 100% [22:41] <ActionParsnip> pandu: then I suggest you reinstall, you cannot leapfrog releases unless you upgrade LTS to LTS [22:41] <zykotick9> FLeiXiuS: fyi, with dual core/smp you need to divide by the number of cores [22:42] <ActionParsnip> pandu: so why say 'nooo' if you actually DID do what I asked? [22:42] <ActionParsnip> pandu: think about it, even briefly [22:42] <FLeiXiuS> zykotick9, Right - and I'm telling you the CPU usage is far below 100%. [22:42] <pandu> sorry [22:42] <ActionParsnip> pandu: before you type, read then think, then type [22:42] <zykotick9> FLeiXiuS: if your load is 5+ then something is running like mad! [22:42] <FLeiXiuS> zykotick9, High disk IO can cause high load averages with no CPU at al. [22:42] <pandu> well :P [22:43] <FLeiXiuS> zykotick9, Agreed - thats what I'm trying to find. [22:43] <zykotick9> FLeiXiuS: if the IO requires CPU sure... [22:43] <ActionParsnip> pandu: if you use Unity, you use the desktop OS, network manager is par of the default install so no additional software is needed to be installed [22:43] <zykotick9> FLeiXiuS: you just explained why SCSI kicks butt ;) [22:44] <pandu> then, what should I do ? [22:44] <bibi23> Actionparsnip: I give up.. I'll try to reboot we never now maybe. in all cases thanks for your help ;) [22:44] <FLeiXiuS> zykotick9, Still doesn't explain < 5% total CPU usage with > 10 laod [22:44] <ActionParsnip> pandu: press ALT+F2 and run: nm-applet [22:45] <zein> Absolute beginner here, quick question: From the terminal, is it possible to open a jpg to view? I'm just messing around trying to get used to this. [22:45] <zykotick9> FLeiXiuS: i'm sorry - but one of your measurements of way out-of-whack with the other?!? [22:45] <ActionParsnip> FLeiXiuS: isn't the load just processes waiting for a resource semaphore.. [22:45] <rypervenche> !ping [22:45] <M4rc3l> pong! [22:45] <ubottu> another contentless ping... sigh... [22:46] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: "resource semaphore" what... [22:46] <fleakite> Hi. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and Cinnamon DE. The window titlebars are inconsistent with the rest of the theme. Any way to rectify it? [22:46] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: like disk io, or network etc [22:46] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: let me dig out my lpi book :) [22:46] <pandu> ActionParsnip there are three applet of network connection, why ? [22:47] <xangua> fleakite: cinnamon is not supported here :) [22:47] <ActionParsnip> pandu: you ran too many, you can kil the process IDs if you want and leave one [22:47] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: load is 100% cpu measurement. did you know - % of CPU utilization is actually a measurement of time? cause a cpu is either 0 or 1, that's it. [22:47] <fleakite> :( [22:47] <fleakite> where should i ask? xangua [22:47] <pandu> ActionParsnip how to kill it ? [22:48] <FLeiXiuS> I was under the impression that the load average refers to the kernels ability to process a request. [22:48] <pandu> I can't do anything with dash+alt+right click with this [22:48] <FLeiXiuS> Whether it CPU // IO [22:48] <FLeiXiuS> Doesnt matter. [22:48] <FLeiXiuS> It's a resource request. [22:48] <zykotick9> percentage of times cpu was busy in a minute with a particulare time-sharing process = % cpu utilization [22:48] <alien2050> pandu: pkill nm-applet [22:48] <alien2050> if doesn't work, pkill -9 nm-applet [22:49] <ActionParsnip> "load average on a Linux system is defined as the number of blocking processes in the run queue averaged over a certain time period" [22:49] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: of the cpu [22:49] <pandu> ActionParsnip then how to kill my bluetooth manager applet ? [22:50] <ActionParsnip> "A blocking proces is a proccess taht is waiting on a resource o continue, usually the CPU, disk I/O, or network" [22:50] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: so load 1 = no process waiting in cue [22:50] <ActionParsnip> pandu: search your proceses to see what you can kill [22:50] <Jonii_> So, anyone know how to edit layouts? [22:50] <pandu> ActionParsnip how ? [22:50] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: wow! if "A blocking proces is a proccess taht is waiting on a resource o continue, usually the CPU, disk I/O, or network" is correct - then I'm wrong! where did you get that? [22:50] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: there is an example of a busy web box with loads of 1.47 1.10 0.83 [22:51] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: LPI linux certification in a nutshell - book [22:51] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: from O'reilly [22:51] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: that's not busy for my desktop most hours of the day! i encode a lot of hd tv, 3 at a time usually, so will have load of 10+. [22:51] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: isbn: 978-0-596-80487-9 [22:52] <Noize> hello all, i was wondering if someone could help me with my issue. I am trying to locate my Wireless Chip. I cannot connect to Wifi from Ubuntu because none of the programs in Ubuntu are locating my Wiireless chip. Anyone Help me?? [22:52] <ActionParsnip> Noize: sudo lshw -C network will tell you [22:52] <pandu> ActionParsnip how to search my proceses ? [22:53] <pandu> Im a newbie :P [22:53] <pandu> sorry [22:53] <BlouBlou> pandu: "top" in terminal :) [22:53] <ActionParsnip> pandu: ps | less [22:53] <ActionParsnip> well [22:53] <Noize> Thank You!!! [22:53] <ActionParsnip> pandu: ps -ef | less [22:53] <Noize> =D [22:54] <pandu> ActionParsnip Im confused, there are too many words here o.o [22:55] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: regarding load - without further evidence i'd suggest you take a peak at the load wikipedia as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_%28computing%29 i don't think i/o, network or anything else plays a part in it's calculation. i rarely have high drive i/o. [22:56] <pandu> Actionparsnip then how to kill the process ? [22:56] <pandu> what should I do now? [22:56] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: I'm going by the recommended reading of the LPI... [22:56] <FLeiXiuS> zykotick9, I disagree. Disk IO and Network thru traffic can bring a system to its knees. [22:56] <zykotick9> FLeiXiuS: AGREED! but it's not load. [22:56] <ActionParsnip> pandu: the left most value is the PID, you can use the kill command to kil that PID [22:57] <zykotick9> FLeiXiuS: drive i/o is probably MOST important in system performance. do you have an ssd drive - they're amazing [22:58] <bibi23> ActionParsnip: woww it worked!!! I only had to go to the hardware drivers and install that ati driver, then reboot, now the hdmi is display as an output in the sound app, and it works, great, thanks man ;) [22:58] <FLeiXiuS> zykotick9, This is on one of my esxi clusters. Fiber channel sans with 15k sas drives. [22:58] <zykotick9> purchasing a high speed ssd drive was the best, most cost effective "upgrade" i've ever seen on a computer [22:58] <zykotick9> FLeiXiuS: :p don't talk to me ;) [22:58] <FLeiXiuS> My Disk IO, mem usage and CPU are all low. [22:58] <FLeiXiuS> ;-P [22:59] <FLeiXiuS> zykotick9, It's baffling me how this is actually an issue. [22:59] <ActionParsnip> bibi23: np dude. simple stuff :) [22:59] <pikkachu> before 12.04, when I created an user via gui I could check an option to encrypt their home dir. It's gone now! What's this? [22:59] <pandu> ActionParsnip is there a simple way ? Im confused O.O [22:59] <bibi23> bye ;) [22:59] <pandu> really Im confused [23:00] <ActionParsnip> pandu: that's it, or you can use top for a text based UI but its teh same deal [23:00] <ActionParsnip> you want to kill the processes so that only one nm-applet is running as it sounds like you have many [23:00] <pandu> ActionParsnip how to use the top ? [23:01] <ActionParsnip> pandu: run it in the terminal [23:01] <pandu> run what ? [23:03] <ActionParsnip> pandu: top [23:03] <ceed^> Anyone here installed the new Skype 4? [23:03] <ActionParsnip> ceed^: installed but yet to run [23:03] <pandu> ActionParsnip then what should I do ? [23:04] <ActionParsnip> pandu: I sugegst you research a little bit, it wil answer all the questions you are asking as they are basic [23:04] <ceed^> ActionParsnip: It's running here but no notification area icon. I wonder how to get that to work. [23:04] <pandu> NOT VALID T.T === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [23:05] <ActionParsnip> ceed^: are there bugs reported? [23:06] <pandu> why always not valid ? [23:06] <SkippersBoss> ceed^: Running as it should on this end [23:06] <ceed^> SkippersBoss: Do you have a notification area icon? [23:06] <SkippersBoss> ceed^ ugly icon though [23:07] <pandu> ActionParsnip why always not valid ? [23:07] <ceed^> No icon here, not even an ugly one :) [23:07] <ActionParsnip> pandu: what isn't valid? You can't expect me to know what you mean as I can't see your screen [23:09] <DangerOnTheRangr> Does anyone know if Pidgin supports SASL by default yet? [23:12] <rickb|server> hello. after the last updates came out, i lost my sound completely.. the sound device shows up in lspci and it ``appears'' as if it should work from the way the volume meter looks as well as alsamixer.. any ideas?

[23:19] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: mozilla isn't a browser [23:19] <gry> firefox is [23:19] <sabayonuser__> after updating this happened [23:19] <sabayonuser__> firefo [23:20] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: if you log in as another user is it the same (make another user if necessary) [23:20] <genii-around> sabayonuser__: Did you reboot yet since the update happened? [23:20] <sabayonuser__> no in that guest it works [23:20] <sabayonuser__> regular user i am havinfg problem [23:20] <sabayonuser__> same for kubuntu mint [23:21] <sabayonuser__> yaa i rebooted [23:21] <pandu> nothing's happend T.T [23:21] <sabayonuser__> i also tried that opera [23:21] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: then its a setting in your user, not the app itself [23:21] <gry> sabayonuser__: sorry what is your problem? browsing slow after update? do you see any error messages or do things just load slow without errors? [23:21] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [23:22] <sabayonuser__> what tis that [23:22] <ActionParsnip> pandu: no news is good news in Linux, you just killed the process [23:22] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: its a terminal command [23:22] <pandu> I confused to kill it ActionParsnip [23:22] <sabayonuser__> i don't like terminal its very tough [23:22] <NotJimCarrey> i'm trying to upgrade to 12.04 and i'm getting 'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend libdb5.1 for libpam-modules, probably a dependency cycle.' Logcat: http://pastebin.com/hvGn5kxt [23:23] <L3top> Not when it is copy and paste sabayonuser__ [23:23] <sabayonuser__> i just use sudo apt-get upgrade that is it [23:23] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: how is it tough when I gave you the EXACT command to run?? [23:23] <sabayonuser__> how to run [23:23] <sabayonuser__> i cannot copy [23:24] <sabayonuser__> where is that command gone [23:24] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: it's 14 characters... [23:24] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: lsb_release -sc [23:24] <smithw> I uninstalled windows before finding out my sd card reader model, and now I've found out it doesn't work out of the box on Ubuntu. how can I find out the model on ubuntu to look for a driver? [23:24] <pandu> Heelp mee T.T [23:24] <ActionParsnip> pandu: dude, make your life easier. Just reboot [23:24] <sabayonuser__> command not found [23:25] <pandu> :P okay [23:25] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: it's an underscore [23:25] <L3top> smithw: lsusb [23:25] <pandu> thanks [23:25] <sabayonuser__> canu write it again [23:25] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: in uppercase it would be: LSB_RELEASE -SC [23:25] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: but you type it in lower case [23:25] <sabayonuser__> unity is confusing i never used macs [23:25] <smithw> L3top, there's nothing there that suggests it might be a card reader... [23:25] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: me neither [23:25] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: but I use unity.. [23:25] <wylde_> this is an example of why pastebinit should be installed by default :P [23:26] <ActionParsnip> wylde_: oh definately, and unp and guake [23:26] <L3top> can you please pastebin the output smithw? [23:26] <NelsonM> how do I configure my system so fsck never runs in interactive mode at boot? it's a headless server 1500 miles away from me. [23:26] <sabayonuser__> i had this problem in 10.04 also after update browsing is super slow [23:26] <sabayonuser__> download speed is fine lol [23:26] <smithw> L3top, sure, one sec [23:27] <L3top> sabayonuser__: it is probably flash related [23:27] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: that's not the output of the comamnd I gave [23:27] <smithw> L3top, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1041636/ [23:27] <sabayonuser__> ohh yeaa i have installed flash but in utueb it says video not available [23:27] <sabayonuser__> flash is installed [23:27] <ActionParsnip> NelsonM: you can use: sudo tune2fs -i 0 -c 0 /dev/sda1 (assuming your system partition is sda1) and it won't automatically fsck [23:27] <sabayonuser__> it says command not found [23:28] <L3top> Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04f2:b2b0 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd would be it smithw [23:28] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: ok, run: gedit /etc/lsb-release and then use http://pastie.org to host the text [23:28] <NelsonM> ActionParsnip: thanks, that'll help. but what if the disk didn't unmount cleanly? fsck must run, but it needs to run automatically for me. [23:28] <smithw> L3top, actually, that's my camera, from what I gathered [23:28] <sabayonuser__> do u have any easy method [23:28] <ActionParsnip> NelsonM: good point [23:28] <sabayonuser__> graphical way [23:28] <sabayonuser__> terminal is confusing [23:29] <sabayonuser__> should i reinstall flash [23:29] <infame> sabayonuser__, you'll freakin' love it when you get used to it. [23:29] <L3top> could be smithw... that rings a bell... lsusb -vv and then look at the details under that heading to see if you can confirm this [23:29] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: yes, using gedit is a graphical way.. [23:29] <infame> Everything just... goes faster. [23:29] <MonkeyDust> <3 terminal [23:29] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: typing is not hard byw [23:29] <wylde_> sabayonuser__: considering we are all communication over a text based medium. In all truth it's easiest over the command line. [23:29] <sabayonuser__> i like clicking [23:29] <sabayonuser__> ;p [23:29] <wylde_> communicating* [23:30] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: if you install pastebinit you can run: pastebinit /etc/lsb-release [23:30] <infame> After i learned Shell scripting, and general terminal commands, I tried to same thing in Windows... Wasn't quite... as fun... [23:30] <sabayonuser__> can u tell me waht is the cause of this problem [23:30] <gandhijee_> command line FTW [23:30] <fishbait> i'm going to reinstall i have a 500gb drive and an 80 gb what do you think of / on 500gb swap on 80gb and what are the benefits of a seperate /home? [23:30] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: then run the gedit command I gave and you can use a web browser to manually make a pastebin of the text [23:30] <L3top> You are typing in here without problem... I do not see why you cannot transpose sabayonuser__ CLI is the true power of linux. You are robbing yourself. [23:30] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: massively slow [23:30] <infame> Although, Power Shell, looks kinda nice. [23:30] <sabayonuser__> i need to buy some ubuntu books ;p [23:31] <L3top> I did sabayonuser__. It is flash, almost guaranteed. [23:31] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: no, you just need to use the OS. [23:31] <smithw> L3top, iProduct 1 Chicony USB 2.0 Camera <- yep, it's the camera [23:31] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: I'm quite sure yu never got a Windows book, did you... [23:31] <sabayonuser__> nope [23:32] <sabayonuser__> i use windows sometimes for playing formula one and fifa [23:32] <L3top> Ok smithw... I have never seen one that wasn't usb tied... linux does not recognize it it would appear. [23:32] <fishbait> i'm going to reinstall i have a 500gb drive and an 80 gb what do you think of / on 500gb swap on 80gb and what are the benefits of a seperate /home? my reason fo re-install is to install vmware and run windows 7 from there. [23:32] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: if you install pastebinit, you can run: pastebinit /etc/lsb-release and make a URL easily [23:32] <sabayonuser__> windows 8 is confusing my frnd is forcing me to install it lol [23:32] <NelsonM> hmmm, Ubuntu's init scripts call "mountall" at boot time, which calls fsck. I can't see any way to configure it. Surely there's a way to make fsck run in noninteractive mode?! [23:32] <L3top> smithw: check lshw [23:32] <smithw> L3top, I'll check === Administrator__ is now known as ithuoghtwhat [23:33] <sabayonuser__> why is everything so touch oriented [23:33] <sabayonuser__> best for me was ubuntu 10.10 with compiz lol [23:33] <rickb|server> anyone else having the whole no sound problem after the updates today? :( [23:33] <sabayonuser__> omg no sound after updates [23:33] <sabayonuser__> lol [23:33] <infame> No...? [23:33] <L3top> sabayonuser__: I can't help you if you wont use the terminal... but I could help you. [23:33] <smithw> L3top, what am I looking for on the output? [23:33] <fishbait> rickb did you have to install your own drivers? [23:34] <sabayonuser__> should i reinstall [23:34] <illusion> hello! [23:34] <ActionParsnip> fishbait: 10Gb / and the rest for /home on the 500Gb and 1xRAM for swap on the 80Gb, you could put /tmp and /var no the 80Gb too if you wanted :) [23:34] <sabayonuser__> understand my problem i am not that good in in this commands [23:34] <L3top> smithw: not really sure... can you pastebin it? [23:34] <rickb|server> fishbait: no, sound worked when i first installed. idk what happened, the updates killed it. it is a known problem but they havent fixed it yet [23:34] <sabayonuser__> i hardly use terminal lol [23:34] <smithw> L3top, sure, but it's 373 lines long [23:34] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: are you going to make the pastebin or waffle... [23:34] <L3top> sabayonuser__: you dont have to be good at commands... you have to be able to read and type [23:35] <L3top> smithw: I know... Ill see if it is there [23:35] <sabayonuser__> hey u said flash problem [23:35] <smithw> L3top, there it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1041640/ [23:35] <fishbait> huh well search me then i just thought that you used custom drivers and didn't know that you have to re-install after every kernel update [23:35] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; clear; pastebinit /etc/lsb-release [23:35] <fishbait> whats the purpose of /var? [23:35] <L3top> Yes sabayonuser__. In terminal, apt-cache policy flashplugin-installer | grep 'Installed' [23:35] <sabayonuser__> lol i uninstalled flash [23:36] <L3top> ok... that is fine [23:36] <sabayonuser__> i am trying to browse now download.com is very slow [23:36] <L3top> sabayonuser__: reopen your browser (close if it is currently open) and check your browsing speed [23:36] <ActionParsnip> L3top: I'd check the lsb-release file dude, s/he doesn't seem to be able to see my text... [23:37] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: last time, run the command I gave and give the output and we can help [23:37] <Myrtti> sabayonuser__: what does lsb_release -a say? [23:37] <sabayonuser__> hey man in chromium it opened but mozilla cannot open download .com [23:38] <sabayonuser__> page is half whit [23:38] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: why do you insist on writing worthless rubbish when people askple ask for command outpts? [23:38] <sabayonuser__> what command [23:38] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: cat /etc/lsb-release [23:38] <kyan> Hi :) Ubiquity keeps hanging while it's starting the partitioner (I chose to specify the partitions manually). What's happening to it? It needs kill -9 to stop it once it hangs. [23:39] <sabayonuser__> no such file or directorey [23:39] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: then you aren't using ubuntu [23:39] <agc93> kyan: have you checked whether your install disc is alright? [23:39] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: or you typed it wrong [23:39] <ActionParsnip> kyan: do you have web access in the liveCD? [23:39] <fishbait> where does vmware store the virtual hardrives?

[23:44] <fishbait> my shceme so far /home, /tmp /var /swap on 500gb /swap and os on 80gb [23:44] <sabayonuser__> my audio is ok [23:44] <IFB_> Well specifically, there is no audio [23:44] <MonkeyDust> IFB_ open a terminal, type alsamixer, if you see MM (mute) , go there and press m [23:44] <IFB_> At all [23:45] <fishbait> my shceme so far /home, /tmp /var /swap on 500gb and os on 80gb <<< revised to better express [23:45] <L3top> smithw: I have to do a chore before my wife garrots me with a shoelace. brb [23:45] <ActionParsnip> fishbait: put swap on the 80Gb too, you'll want 1.1 x RAM amount (I assume more than 2Gb RAM) [23:45] <sabayonuser__> hey guys can i nstall cinnamon shell in ubuntu [23:45] <smithw> L3top, no problem :p [23:45] <IFB_> Nope, I've checked and nothing appears muted [23:45] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: if you can find a PPA, yes [23:45] <fishbait> i have 8GB ram [23:45] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: its not supported here though [23:46] <sabayonuser__> ohk [23:46] <ActionParsnip> fishbait: then 8.8Gb swap [23:46] <wylde_> sabayonuser__: Cinnamon isn't supported here. [23:46] <IFB_> I should probably mention that the only sound that does play is the drum beat after startup / when you log in, after that it's silent [23:46] <agc93> sabayonuser__: check Google, as I think there is a PPA for it, but you would need to talk to Cinnamon about that [23:46] <A0D> sabayonuser_ google it, there are several guides on how to do this [23:46] <sabayonuser__> yaa ppa is a good thing [23:46] <agc93> IFB_: When you go into the Sound Settings, and use test speakers, do you hear anything? [23:46] <fishbait> my shceme so far /home, /tmp /var 1/2 /swap on 500gb and os on 1/2 /swap 80gb <<< revised to better express [23:46] <IFB_> Not a thing. [23:46] <sabayonuser__> but i like software centre best [23:47] <fishbait> ifb do you use fornt headphones? [23:47] <IFB_> I've tried a few "solutions" already including updating drivers but to no avail [23:47] <IFB_> No headphones, nope === FreeDoug is now known as DouglasA [23:47] <IFB_> Lemme get you mu soundcard name [23:47] <sabayonuser__> which is better for torrent qbittorent or deluge [23:47] <IFB_> It's an Intel Corporation 82801I, for what it's worth [23:47] <wylde_> !best | sabayonuser__ [23:47] <ubottu> sabayonuser__: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:47] <fishbait> hmm output when mine did that i didn't have the right output selected [23:48] <A0D> sabayonuser_ I prefer deluge [23:48] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: considering you can't open a file in gedit I bet you'll struggle with that too.. [23:48] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: neither is outright better, each has it's own advantages [23:48] <sabayonuser__> kwrite is better than gedit [23:49] <Nav762000> mm [23:49] <sabayonuser__> ok i am installing deluge ok [23:49] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: maybe but installing it will pull in a TONNE of Qt deps, just for a poxy text editor... [23:50] <sabayonuser__> man this amarok player is amazing [23:50] <wylde_> !ot | sabayonuser__ [23:50] <ubottu> sabayonuser__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [23:50] <fishbait> i'm just sharing an experience man [23:50] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: 164Mb for a text editor...not worth it at all [23:50] <sabayonuser__> i am new also to this freenode thing [23:51] <Nav762000> what is amazing bou amorok [23:51] <kyan> ActionParsnip: it says it was already the newest version :P [23:51] <wylde_> sabayonuser__: if you just want idle chit chat, that's in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:51] <sabayonuser__> my elder bro was very good in ubuntu now he left i am in trouble lol [23:52] <ActionParsnip> kyan: try upgrading gparted too [23:52] <sabayonuser__> hey one fun question can i play battlefield in ubuntu :P [23:52] <fishbait> ifb did that work? [23:52] <kyan> ActionParsnip: also newest version... [23:52] <IFB_> Sorry, what exactly? This is a little hard to keep track of [23:52] <MonkeyDust> !find battlefield | sabayonuser__ [23:52] <ubottu> sabayonuser__: File battlefield found in boswars-data, l7-protocols, libqglviewer-dev-common, openstreetmap-map-icons-classic, openstreetmap-map-icons-scalable, openstreetmap-map-icons-square, wesnoth-1.10-data, wesnoth-1.8-data [23:52] <kyan> ActionParsnip: I could install a newer version of one or the other from source... [23:53] <fishbait> okay open you sound settings do you see multiple outputs? [23:53] <kyan> ActionParsnip: or a newer repo... [23:53] <ActionParsnip> kyan: possibly, I'd have thought the repo would have a newer one on [23:54] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: check the appdb [23:54] <fishbait> IFB_: okay open you sound settings do you see multiple outputs? [23:54] <sabayonuser__> hey i also have this problem in another browser that i use rekonq it says crashed unepectedly [23:54] <IFB_> Yeah, there's "Speakers" and "Digital Output (S/PDIF)", nothing is muted [23:54] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: midori, arora [23:54] <IFB_> Huh, my computer just made... some kind of odd beep. Didn't do anything besides look at Sound Settings though. [23:54] <fishbait> IFB_: select speakers and test it again [23:54] <sabayonuser__> does midori have private browsing [23:55] <IFB_> Tha phuck, there it is again [23:55] <IFB_> Woah woah [23:55] <IFB_> Sound [23:55] <IFB_> Glorious sound [23:55] <IFB_> How is this possible, I didn't even do anything... did I? [23:55] <fishbait> ifb_: uh huh mine did the same thing [23:55] <wylde_> ActionParsnip: ...there's the gedit problem. They're on Kubuntu [23:55] <IFB_> Keeps beeping, though [23:55] <fishbait> it sutomatically select the wrong output [23:56] <kyan> ActionParsnip: yeah that was what we just checked, right? I meant a newer repo (maybe oneiric)... this is a 2010 ubuntu [23:56] <sabayonuser__> hey does midori have this private brwosing [23:56] <IFB_> Ah, so I should have just selected "speakers" from the beginning? [23:56] <Nav762000> ai [23:56] <ActionParsnip> kyan: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [23:56] <IFB_> All these complicated terminal commands I've been putting in all day were for nothing? [23:56] <MonkeyDust> sabayonuser__ install it to find out [23:56] <kyan> ActionParsnip: maverick [23:56] <sabayonuser__> it is very simple i need sophisticated browsers lol [23:56] <fishbait> IFB_: if it gave you the option mine didn't [23:57] <kyan> ActionParsnip: wait... if this is maverick it might not be supported anymore [23:57] <ActionParsnip> kyan: maverick is no longer supported in any way [23:57] <sabayonuser__> chromium is best [23:57] <kyan> ActionParsnip: I think it expired in april or something. :P [23:57] <sabayonuser__> mozilla is very buggy [23:57] <ActionParsnip> kyan: I'd suggest a clean install of Precise [23:57] <IFB_> Well then, thanks a bunch [23:57] <ActionParsnip> sabayonuser__: mozilla can't be buggy. It isn't a software [23:57] <kyan> ActionParsnip: *too lazy to transfer all my customizations to the newer version [23:57] <sabayonuser__> ok installed deluge [23:57] <IFB_> I just hope this mysterious beeping does not persist [23:57] <ActionParsnip> kyan: then you have no support and no updates [23:57] <fishbait> IFB_: no problem i just chimed in on something that happened to me [23:58] <sabayonuser__> deluge is cool [23:58] <IFB_> Though at this point I can't complain considering the hell Windows put me through [23:58] * kyan is too lazy to try to get everything the way he likes it :( I've put probably upwards of 200 hours getting this system set up and now it's not supported anymore... waah! [23:58] <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 [23:58] * kyan dies [23:58] <sabayonuser__> ubuntu was very reliable for me upto 10.10 after this 11 it gives me pain [23:58] <MonkeyDust> !12.10 | WilsonBradley [23:58] <ubottu> WilsonBradley: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) will be the 17th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [23:58] <wylde_> WilsonBradley: 12.10 Quantal is alpha [23:58] <agc93> kyan: i know that feel. Now I stick TO LTS's where possible [23:58] <kyan> ActionParsnip: guess I'm on my own then. I'll see what I can get going :D [23:59] <kyan> agc93: sounds like a good plan ^.^ [23:59] <WilsonBradley> join /#ubuntu+1 [23:59] <sabayonuser__> unity is so apple like [23:59] <agc93> kyan: has worked up until now. But 12.04 is giving me the shits [23:59] <kyan> agc93: unfortunately I didn't :D [23:59] <MonkeyDust> sabayonuser__ did you have a support question? [23:59] <L3top> /join #ubuntu+1 [23:59] <sabayonuser__> oh guys 1 more problem [23:59] <ActionParsnip> agc93: I always grab the latest pre-release if one exists :) [23:59] <agc93> sabayonuser__: that should probably be in #ubuntu-offtopic
