| wubino | can anyone tell me how to find the install directory of a program? | 00:00 |
| sabayonuser__ | when i turn on my pc i get this input not supported for few secs | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | sabayonuser__: it's not very like apple | 00:00 |
| kyan | agc93: this is offtopic :P | 00:00 |
| WilsonBradley | thank you | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | agc93: my hardware is super Linux compatible, Quantall has been pretty good so far | 00:00 |
| sabayonuser__ | i did not have this input not supported in 10.10 | 00:00 |
| agc93 | wubino: whereis <program-name> from the terminal | 00:00 |
| kyan | agc93: rofl, just saw your message to sabayonuser__ | 00:00 |
| WilsonBradley | not able to join /join #ubuntu+1 | 00:01 |
| fishbait | my shceme so far /home, /tmp /var 1/2 /swap on 500gb and os on 1/2 /swap 80gb okay for solid performance and insuring plenty of temp space and space for downloads will this work? | 00:01 |
| sabayonuser__ | hey man can u solve this input not uspported thing | 00:01 |
| fishbait | *os and 1/2 swap on 80gb | 00:01 |
| agc93 | fishbait: 80GB is an awful lot of swap! | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | sabayonuser__: the kernel timings have been moved into the kernel | 00:02 |
| agc93 | fishbait: how much have you allocated? | 00:02 |
| wylde_ | WilsonBradley: you made a post in there.....how do you figure you're unable to join? | 00:02 |
| sabayonuser__ | what can i do | 00:02 |
| fishbait | 4.4 gb on each drive. | 00:02 |
| MonkeyDust | fishbait 5-10GB should be enough | 00:02 |
| rhizmoe | what is a good way to start a desktop app from the command line without it spoo'ing to stdout, is there a better way than >/dev/null 2>&1 ? | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | sabayonuser__: what is teh output of: lspci | grep -i vga | 00:02 |
| WilsonBradley | hu? | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | fishbait: you only need at most 9Gb swap | 00:03 |
| relondo | My laptop doesn't recognize my keyboard on startup. I had this problem before and was working on finding a solution, but at first, a reboot would fix it. Now it's totally broken. | 00:03 |
| Jordan_U | agc93: The old wisdom was twice as much as RAM, but that's been obsolete for a while now so you can go much lower than even 2X RAM. | 00:03 |
| sabayonuser__ | command not found | 00:03 |
| fishbait | mmhmm and i have 8GB of ram | 00:03 |
| wubino | agc93: what about hadoop/conf ? is there a directory matching search? | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | relondo: want to tell us the make and modelof the laptop? | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | sabayonuser__: it is, you aren't typing it right | 00:03 |
| WilsonBradley | wylde: I dont' see a chat tab for #ubuntu+1 | 00:03 |
| sabayonuser__ | its actually not a problem | 00:04 |
| agc93 | wubino: I don't know. Whereis has always done the job for me | 00:04 |
| relondo | actionparsnip: Sure thing. It's a Toshiba Satellite L-775D. | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | sabayonuser__: Linux is very case sensitive. Don't change the command in any way | 00:04 |
| wubino | Thanks every bit helps | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | relondo: why did you not state that in the initial question? | 00:04 |
| relondo | actionparsnip: Didn't know that it was important. Trying to be concise. Sorry. | 00:04 |
| sabayonuser__ | hey man can ny1 tell me how to compile a kernel so that booting improves | 00:04 |
| sabayonuser__ | what is this custom kernel | 00:05 |
| NotJimCarrey | trying to launch xbmc on ubuntu but getting "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'dbiplus::DbErrors'" anyone know how to fix this? | 00:05 |
| wylde_ | WilsonBradley: ok, nvm that anyway. Installing an alpha version is not at all an ideal approach to fixing a problem. Running alpha version will guarantee things will break. | 00:05 |
| MonkeyDust | sabayonuser__ if there were a way, the kernel developpers would have used it | 00:05 |
| Jordan_U | sabayonuser__: What about booting do you expect to improve if you compile your own kernel? | 00:05 |
| fishbait | how big should /tmp and /var be? | 00:05 |
| WilsonBradley | what do you suggest? | 00:05 |
| sabayonuser__ | once i read custom kernel improves whole performance ;p | 00:05 |
| WilsonBradley | If I could fix the standby problem , then I could live with it until and upgrade is relased | 00:06 |
| sabayonuser__ | idk just asked if it is comman line then no nneed | 00:06 |
| sabayonuser__ | irc is pretty cool nice chat | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | relondo: run: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub find this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and change it to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.nomux=1 i8042.reset" save the new file, close gedit then run: sudo update-grub reboot to test.

| MonkeyDust | sabayonuser__ i guess #ubuntu-offtopic is more what you want | 00:07 |
| sabayonuser__ | hey when did mint overtake ubuntu in distrowatch :O | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | sabayonuser__: dude, you can't even run CLI commands. I wouldn't start messing with kernels | 00:07 |
| wylde_ | he's been told a few times alreay MonkeyDust | 00:07 |
| relondo | actionparsnip: Thanks so much. I need to remember that website. | 00:08 |
| sabayonuser__ | hey mint overtook ubuntu | 00:08 |
| OerHeks | sabayonuser__, stick to real support questions. mint is offtopic. | 00:08 |
| L3top | !ot | sabayonuser__ | 00:08 |
| MonkeyDust | sabayonuser__ please stop, type /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:08 |
| 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! | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | relondo: or just the boot options.... Could add it to your backup in case of reinstall :) | 00:08 |
| Jordan_U | sabayonuser__: This channel is for Ubuntu support discussion only, this is your last warning to stay on topic. | 00:08 |
| sabayonuser__ | mint is bad distro it copies ubuntu and installs codecs lol | 00:08 |
| sabayonuser__ | lol mint is no. 1 :O | 00:09 |
| agc93 | Thanks Jordan_U! | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | sabayonuser__: and a custome kernel isn't necessarily faster, just like a custom car isn't always faster than mass produced | 00:09 |
| relondo | actionparsnip: Wait, what now? | 00:09 |
| L3top | It is a credit to Ubuntu that the mentally challenged are able to install it. | 00:09 |
| agc93 | L3top: but also a curse for Ubuntu's support channels! | 00:10 |
| L3top | oh smithw... sorry buddy I forgot you. let me get back to that | 00:10 |
| sabayonuser__ | hey man waht happened | 00:10 |
| Jordan_U | L3top: That type of comment is disrespecful in many ways and is not acceptible here. | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | relondo: what step are you up to? | 00:10 |
| agc93 | sabayonuser_ you need to keep offtopic posts to #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:10 |
| smithw | L3top, np, I can be patient :) | 00:10 |
| sabayonuser__ | where is that | 00:10 |
| MonkeyDust | sabayonuser__ type /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:11 |
| relondo | actionparsnip: Haven't done any of it. I just realized that I'm still installing Java on there :/ | 00:11 |
| wylde_ | sabayonuser__: /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:11 |
| sabayonuser__ | yaa joined | 00:11 |
| agc93 | its a different channel, same as you joined #ubuntu, join #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:11 |
| sabayonuser__ | u all dere | 00:11 |

| sabayonuser__ | u guys also join this channel | 00:12 |

| pengw | hi all | 00:13 |
| pengw | what is the second line represents in 'free' command? | 00:13 |
| agc93 | what does the second line say on your screen? | 00:14 |
| pengw | -/+ buffers/cache 884 7075 what is this ? | 00:14 |
| agc93 | if I remember correctly, those are your kernel buffers | 00:15 |
| pengw | but the first line already told me that | 00:15 |
| wylde_ | agc93: yep, that's exactly what 'man free' says | 00:15 |
| agc93 | no the first line is all of your RAM memory | 00:15 |
| agc93 | the second is kernel buffers | 00:15 |
| agc93 | and the third is swap space | 00:15 |
| agc93 | at least on my 12.04 box, thats the case | 00:16 |
| pengw | sure but the first line also told you buffers and cached | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | pengw: can you pastebin all the text, it may be clearer, you can even use: free -m \ pastebinit | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | oop | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | free -m | pastebinit | 00:16 |
| pengw | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1041681/ | 00:18 |
| agc93 | pengw: yours look a little different to what I was thinking. | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | pengw: you have 8Gb ram and using 1.2Gb, you have 8Gb swap and using none | 00:20 |
| pengw | thx | 00:21 |
| pengw | i got it | 00:21 |
| pengw | the second line is the one that ignore the cached and buffer I have how many ram | 00:21 |
| WilsonBradley | simple question.. is a swap partition nessesay for Hibernation to work? | 00:22 |
| wylde_ | WilsonBradley: yes, and it must be at least equal to the amount of ram | 00:22 |
| WilsonBradley | ok, thanks.. | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | pengw: the right most value on the 2nd line is your actual free ram (without the buffers) | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | pengw: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ explains it well | 00:25 |
| agc93 | ActionParsnip: that site is brilliant. *bookmarked* | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | agc93: very ;) | 00:26 |

| fishbait | how big should /tmp and /var be? | 00:32 |
| dummyan | hello! i need to install ubuntu via net. i followed this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot and i got the installer working. the problem is that the installer cant get the ip when configuring the network. im stuck, any help is needed | 00:32 |
| nicolex^2 | I have a broadcom wireless card. I have installed proprietary wireless drivers with restricted driver manager. When I use "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan", it returns "Scanning not supported on this device." | 00:32 |

| ActionParsnip | fleakite: cinammon isn't supported here | 00:33 |
| chris_ | whats up | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | nicolex^2: if you run: dmesg | grep -i firm do you see messages about missing firmware files? | 00:34 |
| === chris_ is now known as Guest6076 | ||
| === Guest6076 is now known as chris91 | ||
| fleakite | Thanks for letting me know. My question still stands because I haven't found any assistance on the Linux Mint channel. | 00:35 |
| nicolex^2 | ActionParsnip, it returns "Firmware left e100 interrupts enabled; disabling" | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | nicolex^2: ok thats fine, if you run: sudo lshw -C network is teh wireless device wlan0? | 00:36 |
| bazhang | fleakite, try #ubuntu-offtopic , it's not supported here | 00:36 |
| === Benny_ is now known as Benny_the_Doneky | ||

| maisondouf | somebody well the use of 'sed' here ? | 00:37 |
| marvelouzone | hello everyone , looking for a guru who can give me some insight on a strange problem | 00:37 |
| donvito2 | how can i make x11vnc to run everytime ubuntu starts | 00:37 |
| L3top | fleakite: you will not get an answer here. That is what not supported means. This channel is only for Ubuntu support. | 00:37 |
| L3top | !ask | 00:37 |
| agc93 | whats your problem marvelouzone? | 00:37 |
| ubottu | 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 | 00:37 |
| nicolex^2 | ActionParsnip, I'm not sure, I don't see where in the output the alias is. I have none for eth0 either, which is working. | 00:37 |
| Benny_the_Donkey | #Ron_Paul | 00:37 |
| marvelouzone | hey agc93 | 00:38 |
| agc93 | !ot | Benny_the_Donkey | 00:38 |
| ubottu | Benny_the_Donkey: #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! | 00:38 |
| nicolex^2 | ActionParsnip, I'm pretty sure it is wlan0, because iw returns device does not support scanning, rather than device not found. | 00:38 |
| marvelouzone | I just installed fresh 64bit 12.04 then installed zentyal as a gateway/router my sudo commands were working fine now anytime I type sudo anything it just drops back to a blank terminal prompt after I input password | 00:39 |
| fleakite | Wow. Thanks for the English lesson L3top | 00:39 |
| maisondouf | how to change <char><backspace><char> into only <char> with 'sed, please | 00:39 |
| bazhang | fleakite, actual ubuntu support question? | 00:39 |
| L3top | It wasn't a lesson in English, it was an explanation of terms, as you did not seem to understand fleakite. | 00:39 |
| donvito2 | !x11vnc | 00:39 |
| marvelouzone | login passwords arent working either through ssh, samba shares, anything dealing with a password doesnt work | 00:40 |
| donvito2 | !vnc | 00:40 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 00:40 |
| donvito2 | !freenx | 00:40 |
| ubottu | FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 00:40 |
| bazhang | donvito2, /msg ubottu | 00:40 |
| donvito2 | how can i make x11vnc to run everytime ubuntu starts | 00:40 |
| nicolex^2 | ActionParsnip, My mistake, it returns "interface doesn't support scanning" for any device name, and when specifying no name (use all available devices) it lists no wlan device | 00:40 |
| genii-around | !autostart | 00:40 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 00:40 |
| agc93 | marvelouzone: That seems odd. You don't get any errors? it just stops after password operations? | 00:40 |
| genii-around | Bleh old factoid | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | nicolex^2: lshw will tell you the device name for sure :) | 00:41 |
| L3top | marvelouzone: is it possible the commands you are entering are simply completing? Or are you saying it is dropping your runlevel or something? | 00:41 |
| marvelouzone | no errors, everything I have searched related to the problem everybody else says they get errors | 00:41 |
| fleakite | If you have nothing constructive to suggest, please ignore my question L3top . I haven't found any assistance on the Linux Mint channel. And there are way more people here than the offtopic channel. So I'm putting the question out for anyone who might be able to answer. People telling me to ask anywhere else -- noted. | 00:41 |

| chris91 | anyone able to help me with java? i've searched thru a lto of forums and and tried a dozen different things | 00:41 |
| chris91 | can | 00:42 |
| bazhang | fleakite, its offtopic here. please dont ask about it anymore. thanks. #ubuntu-offtopic for that | 00:42 |
| chris91 | can't seem to get jdk installed | 00:42 |
| pengw | so what is the problem | 00:42 |
| marvelouzone | for instance if I do sudo gedit or gksu gedit and then enter password nothing happens gedit never opens.. | 00:42 |
| wylde_ | fleakite: you were told earlier as well that cinnamon isn't supported here, as per http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/06/14/%23ubuntu.html#t22:46 | 00:42 |
| fleakite | Thanks for your input bazhang . Please ignore my question (or my handle) if it bothers you so much. Cheers. | 00:42 |
| L3top | fleakite: You do not understand. I expect a mod will make it clear. It was for your information, the same goes to you, you can feel free to ignore it, but I don't expect you will last long. | 00:42 |
| bazhang | he's gone | 00:43 |
| pengw | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-re*-extra then OpenJDK will be installed | 00:43 |
| marvelouzone | this is the second time I've done a fresh install and ran into this problem | 00:43 |
| agc93 | What changed each time that caused them to stop working? | 00:43 |
| pengw | !codecs | 00:44 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | marvelouzone: use gksudo with gedit (and other gui apps) | 00:44 |
| nicolex^2 | ActionParsnip, lshw | grep "logical name" shows clearly i have no wlan device | 00:44 |
| pengw | !code | 00:44 |
| marvelouzone | I installed zentyal from repos | 00:44 |
| ubottu | Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | marvelouzone: what is the output of: file `which gedit` | 00:44 |
| bazhang | pengw, /msg ubottu | 00:44 |
| nicolex^2 | ActionParsnip, what should I do? | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | nicolex^2: sudo lshw -C network look at the names of the interfacs, what is the wireless one? | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | nicolex^2: do you dual boot the system? | 00:44 |
| marvelouzone | I did gksu, I was just using that as an example. if I do sudo nano, it just drops back to prompt, no execution of app | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | marvelouzone: is your user in the admin group? | 00:45 |
| nicolex^2 | ActionParsnip, *-network UNCLAIMED | 00:45 |
| marvelouzone | i'll check.. gedit is definitely there though , if I simply do gedit it opens | 00:45 |
| blackshirt | was sudo exploitable ? | 00:45 |
| Ziber | On ubuntu server, if I have an executable script in a directory which is in my $PATH, can I cron it? | 00:45 |
| nicolex^2 | ActionParsnip, Yes. | 00:45 |
| blackshirt | Was sudo exploitable? | 00:46 |
| agc93 | Ziber: you should be able to. If you can run it from a terminal or with sh -c then it should work in cron | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | nicolex^2: in Windows, disable the ability for the interface to wake up the OS as well as disable power management | 00:46 |
| Ziber | agc93: Didn't know if chron ran from a different user or whatever. | 00:46 |
| Ziber | *cron | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | marvelouzone: if you run: groups | grep admin do you get an output? | 00:46 |
| marvelouzone | "/usr/bin/gedit" | 00:46 |
| marvelouzone | letm e check | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: you can cron as different users | 00:47 |
| Ziber | How might a I run a cron every night at midnight from my user account? | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: do you have a desktop UI? | 00:47 |
| Ziber | Nope. | 00:47 |
| Ziber | Just server. | 00:47 |
| blackshirt | I was read some shellcode from exploits db and test them locally......and yes, this exploits give me root access... I think sudo was vulnerable for this attack | 00:47 |
| marvelouzone | yes all users in adm group including the one i'm logged in under | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: then run: crontab -e and you can add the cron | 00:47 |
| nicolex^2 | ActionParsnip, OK, brb | 00:47 |
| Relondo | What's the terminal command to delete a file/folder? | 00:47 |
| Ziber | ActionParsnip: And it'll run as my user? | 00:48 |
| ratcheer | Relondo: rm | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: yes as your user ran the crontab command :) | 00:48 |
| Relondo | ratcheer: It returned "rm: cannot remove 'minecraft': Is a directory" | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: you will add a new line: 0 0 * * * command_here | 00:48 |
| blackshirt | Relondo, use rm or rmdir | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Relondo: rm -r minecraft be sure you don't need the data within | 00:49 |
| ratcheer | For a directory, use "rm -rf" | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ratcheer: why force? | 00:49 |
| Ziber | m h being minute and hour, both set at 0 for midnight? | 00:49 |
| marvelouzone | Action would you be willing to take a look if I give you remote access? | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: exactly, the other text in the file you have opened shows the format :) | 00:49 |
| Ziber | ActionParsnip: Thanks. :D | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | marvelouzone: is your user in the admin group? | 00:50 |
| wylde_ | marvelouzone: that is extremely bad practice....just sayin' | 00:50 |
| Relondo | ratcheer: I thought "rm -rf" was the super scary command that deletes everything :( | 00:50 |
| marvelouzone | yes Action it is | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | marvelouzone: adm != admin | 00:50 |
| Relondo | actionparsnip: Thanks. | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | marvelouzone: if you are not in the admin group, you can't use sudo | 00:50 |
| ratcheer | Relondo: It depends on the argument you give it. Sorry, don't use it. | 00:50 |
| marvelouzone | wylde I can change ip's and passwords easily would not put info on open chat | 00:51 |
| agc93 | Relondo: it can be. You must be very careful with rm | 00:51 |
| meet | how do i edit the icons in top right corner in 12.04? | 00:51 |
| Relondo | agc93: Ah. | 00:51 |
| marvelouzone | my user is listed in admin group | 00:51 |
| Relondo | ratcheer: Oh, does it just delete everyting in the current directory? | 00:51 |
| Relondo | ratcheer: (Normally). | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | marvelouzone: ok what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 00:51 |
| agc93 | relondo: just rm -rf would probably fail | 00:51 |
| ratcheer | I would usually just give it a specific directory name. | 00:51 |
| agc93 | rm -rf . would force delete everything in the current directory | 00:52 |
| marvelouzone | even when I do lsblsb_release -sc | 00:52 |
| marvelouzone | hold on | 00:52 |
| agc93 | for your example, from ~, you could run rm -rf ./.minecraft/. and you should get rid of everything inside the minecraft folder | 00:52 |
| marvelouzone | precise | 00:52 |
| agc93 | wait shit, rm -rf ./minecraft/* is what you want | 00:52 |
| Relondo | agc93: Got it. Stay away from from rm -rf for now, then. | 00:53 |
| agc93 | as long as you clearly specify your directory args, its alright. | 00:53 |
| blackshirt | relondo, just use it carefully | 00:53 |
| marvelouzone | if I try to do ctrl, alt, f1 I cant even login in with root password which I did set unix passwd, or with my admin username and password | 00:53 |
| Relondo | blackshirt: Got it. | 00:54 |
| ratcheer | agc93: Exactly. I've been running UNIX systems for decades, and I know to check before I enter. | 00:54 |
| blackshirt | Maybe better use absolute path | 00:54 |
| agc93 | ratcheer: I've been caught out one times too many, so I'm pedantic about rm these days | 00:54 |
| t0ntin | My microphone volume is very low on 12.04. It was perfect on 11.04. I have messed with the volume bars in the control panel, but it's still low. Any ideas? | 00:54 |
| agc93 | t0ntin: have you tried using alsamixer? | 00:55 |
| bazhang | t0ntin, adjust using alsamixer | 00:55 |
| ratcheer | agc93: I understand. I am sorry I said it. That is the way I do it, though, and I know to be very careful. | 00:55 |
| Relondo | When I didn't have Java installed, java -version would show me the standard packages. How do I see those again? | 00:55 |
| t0ntin | agc93, haven't. I'll try it. | 00:55 |
| agc93 | ratcheer: of course, didnt mean it like that. Just checking! :P | 00:55 |
| rns | if I want to upgrade from 10.04 will I lose all my data? | 00:56 |
| t0ntin | "GNOME ALSA Mixer"? | 00:56 |
| KRomo | is firefox for linux obsolete since adobe ha dropped flash support for linux? i read that chrome only will get new flash verssions | 00:56 |
| blackshirt | Rns. Shouldn't, but maybe better you have backup it | 00:56 |
| ratcheer | agc93: No problem. I am truly apologetic that I said it. I wasn't thinking hard enough. | 00:57 |
| wylde_ | rns: you should make backups anyway. That's the ONLY way to be sure. | 00:57 |
| marvelouzone | anymore ideas anyone | 00:58 |
| rns | blackshirt, so I can go from 10.04 to 12.04 without losing my data? | 00:58 |
| agc93 | t0ntin: just open a terminal, enter alsamixer and press <ENTER> | 00:58 |
| gewor | i think you can | 00:58 |
| bazhang | t0ntin, open a terminal, type alsamixer, adjust the bars | 00:58 |
| t0ntin | agc93, bazhang, OK, thanks. | 00:58 |
| meet | how do i edit the icons in top right corner in 12.04? | 00:59 |
| fishbait | join #ubuntu-offtpoic | 00:59 |
| agc93 | fishbait: this is a support channel, so some people may not want to go offtopic | 01:00 |
| blackshirt | Rns, for a lot of packages installed, maybe need a deep knowledge in apt system troubleshooting...maybe upgrades not works like a charm.. | 01:00 |
| KRomo | any way to get additional free storage on ubuntu? | 01:01 |
| marvelouzone | anybody else who can help me with this problem with root problems | 01:01 |
| KRomo | ubutu one? | 01:01 |
| blackshirt | Rns, but i think, we can do release upgrade greatfully | 01:01 |
| blackshirt | Kromo, what you mean with additional storage? | 01:01 |
| KRomo | ubuntu one comes with 5gb | 01:02 |
| bazhang | #ubuntuone KRomo | 01:02 |
| KRomo | but dropbox gives 50 free | 01:02 |
| jvmxxz | hello | 01:02 |
| bazhang | KRomo, ask in their channel | 01:02 |
| KRomo | ok i will | 01:03 |
| KornKage2 | you guys gave me an idea | 01:03 |
| agc93 | also, dropbox actually only gives 2gb free, 50gb is a paid plan | 01:03 |
| KornKage2 | how about booting ubuntu from internet | 01:03 |
| gewor | hi, i use lubuntu but i remove lubuntu* and i use openbox for my wm, i was install UCK, but how can i call uck ? when i type in terminal and grun its nothing happen | 01:03 |
| KornKage2 | from storeage directly | 01:03 |
| KornKage2 | hum? | 01:03 |
| KRomo | i have 50gb free from dropbox on a hack | 01:04 |
| Relondo | Is there a Linux equivalent of a batch file? | 01:04 |
| jvmxxz | don't you just refer yourself for the extra storage :P | 01:04 |
| KRomo | they gave 50gb free for samsung galaxy s3 users so i changed my galaxy nexus to report itself as a n s3 | 01:04 |
| bazhang | !ot | KRomo | 01:05 |
| ubottu | KRomo: #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! | 01:05 |
| L3top | Relondo: what is it you are actually trying to do? | 01:06 |
| gewor | whats command for call uck in terminal ?? | 01:06 |
| Relondo | L3top: My ultimate goal is to make an executable file that launches a .jar file, because the default behavior for double-clicking a .jar file is to open with archive manager, and I don't know how to change that. Even if I did, I don't know how to make a shortcut to the .jar file. | 01:07 |
| gewor | u can use file preference for change default file execution | 01:08 |
| Relondo | L3top: And I'm just curious as to whether or not there's a Linux equivalent for a batch file :) | 01:08 |
| marvelouzone | what would cause all passwords to stop working? | 01:08 |
| Relondo | gewor: Where's that? | 01:08 |
| ratcheer | Relondo: Yes, it is called a shell script. | 01:09 |
| L3top | Relondo: you can script just about anything in bash.... and execute it like: java -jar whatever.jar | 01:09 |
| t0ntin | I am trying to adjust the mic. volume on alsamixer. I'm where it says <Mic Jack>. When I use the arrows, it just changes the text from "Line In" to "Mic In" | 01:09 |
| gewor | in menu u can see that app, but i forget in what category | 01:09 |
| Relondo | ratcheer: Do I make one of those just like a batch file? By making a text file and changing the extension? | 01:09 |
| Relondo | gewor: Okay, thanks anyway. | 01:10 |
| gewor | if you use gnome 2++ u can find in menu | 01:10 |
| gewor | but in unity i dont know, | 01:10 |
| Relondo | gewor: I'm on Unity, yeah. | 01:10 |
| Relondo | L3top: Okay. And I assume "whatever.jar" is replaced with the actual name of the .jar file? | 01:11 |
| ratcheer | Relondo: Do "man bash" and it will tell you everything. Or just Google "shell scripting" or something. | 01:11 |
| L3top | yes... I am going to send you a pm. | 01:11 |
| jjj | ciao questa e la versione italiana di ubunteu chatt? | 01:11 |

| zivester | where is the best place to link an executable? my $PATH is: /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games | 01:14 |
| ratcheer | zivester: /usr/local/bin should be fine. | 01:15 |
| wylde_ | zivester: depenends what it is. I keep scripts I write in ~/bin and it's already included in $PATH by default. | 01:15 |
| zivester | thanks ratcheer | 01:15 |
| zivester | it does? but ~/bin isn't in the $PATH? | 01:16 |
| wylde_ | zivester: try it ;) All I did was make the ~/bin directory and plopped my scripts into it and I can call the from anywhere | 01:16 |
| t0ntin | bazhang, I can adjust most of those bars, but when I get to <mic jack>, i'm not sure what to do. | 01:17 |
| wylde_ | the=them | 01:17 |
| bazhang | t0ntin, try the up/down arrows? | 01:17 |
| marvelouzone | so who on is a ubuntu/linux guru? | 01:17 |
| bazhang | marvelouzone, just ask the question | 01:17 |
| ratcheer | marvelouzone: Not I... | 01:17 |
| bazhang | marvelouzone, if someone knows, they will answer | 01:18 |
| b0llo | HELLO | 01:18 |
| wylde_ | !caps | 01:18 |
| ubottu | PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 01:18 |
| t0ntin | bazhang, up and down arrows change text on the screen from "line in" to "mic in" only | 01:18 |
| b0llo | SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS BUT IM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH UBUNTU | 01:18 |
| b0llo | I CANT DISABLE CAPSLOCK | 01:18 |
| FloodBot1 | b0llo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:18 |
| bazhang | b0llo, hold shift | 01:18 |
| zivester | wylde_: doesn't work for me :-/ | 01:18 |
| DIMEBAGRIP | hello what is this thing i just opened up chat or something like help for ubuntu is that what this thing for a help desk | 01:18 |
| smw | b0llo, 0llo) has joined #ubuntu | 01:19 |
| bazhang | DIMEBAGRIP, this is ubuntu support. | 01:19 |
| smw | * kevinsd has quit (Quit: Ex-Ch | 01:19 |
| ratcheer | zivester: Put it in /usr/local/bin | 01:19 |
| wylde_ | zivester: hmmm, sorry for the bad info then. I'm sure I didn't add it to $PATH manually. | 01:19 |
| smw | !ot > DIMEBAGRIP | 01:19 |
| ubottu | DIMEBAGRIP, please see my private message | 01:19 |
| b0llo | sorry about that | 01:19 |
| zivester | i did, just was testing wylde_'s claim :) | 01:19 |
| b0llo | i am holding shift | 01:19 |
| DIMEBAGRIP | is there something like this for backtrack 5 r2 | 01:19 |
| b0llo | but what could be causing this | 01:20 |
| bazhang | smw, thats not needed | 01:20 |
| b0llo | is it a problem with xorg? | 01:20 |
| smw | b0llo, xmodmap -e "clear Lock" | 01:20 |
| smw | bazhang, sorry | 01:20 |
| bazhang | DIMEBAGRIP, yes, #backtrack-linux | 01:20 |
| smw | b0llo, sorry, meant to paste that before | 01:20 |
| b0llo | OKAY IT WORKED | 01:20 |
| b0llo | THANKS | 01:20 |
| pikkachu | does Ubuntu One keep your files encrypted? with what key? | 01:21 |
| bazhang | pikkachu, ask in #ubuntuone | 01:21 |
| DIMEBAGRIP | i just tried out this thing i like backtrack better though what ur opinion blackbuntu better or no ?? | 01:21 |
| fishbait | how big should /tmp and /var partitions be? | 01:22 |
| marvelouzone | what would cause all passwords in ubuntu to stop working. I.e. login, ssh, sudo commands, etc. | 01:22 |
| bazhang | DIMEBAGRIP, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat/opinion/etc | 01:22 |
| agc93 | fishbait: why not just have a partition for / and let Linux sort it out | 01:22 |
| ratcheer | agc93: I agree. | 01:22 |
| t0ntin | I have another problem. I suddenly have no access to my windows files :( | 01:22 |
| smw | fishbait, don't separate them unless you are running a server and understand what you are doing | 01:22 |
| fishbait | b/c i'm going to install vmware and run windows 7 and want to make sure it uses th 500gb drive | 01:23 |
| agc93 | t0ntin: doesnt your windows partition appear as a place in Computer? | 01:23 |
| smw | fishbait, I don't understand | 01:23 |
| agc93 | fishbait: after all this, have you considered using LVM and a single large volume? | 01:23 |
| fishbait | i have a 500gb drive and an 80gb i know swap will be split 4.5 x2 (1 per drive) and a 40+gb virtual drive on an 80gb hdd isn't wise | 01:25 |
| agc93 | fishbait: what? | 01:26 |
| wylde_ | fishbait: you only need 1 swap partition | 01:26 |
| t0ntin | agc93, it used to be to the left of the file manager. Now that you said that about the place in Computer, I went there and it magically appeared! Thanks. | 01:26 |
| === jebat is now known as kekuda | ||
| === Thehelpfulone_ is now known as Thehelpfulone | ||
| fishbait | hmm 8gb on drive that isn't the os then | 01:26 |
| agc93 | why wouldn't you use LVM and be done with it in a single swoop? | 01:26 |
| fishbait | mmm call me old fashioned i'd prefer not to contend with lvm | 01:27 |
| nicolex^2 | ActionParsnip, I cannot do it, windows is simply too unstable to get to that point | 01:27 |
| smw | fishbait, I make a root, /home, and swap parition | 01:27 |
| smw | fishbait, no reason to separate out the standard ones like var or tmp | 01:28 |
| fishbait | ok will the tmp folder take up too much space with internet browsing? | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | nicolex^2: wassup, nipped out for a smoke | 01:28 |
| dejahwho | ok, you have your linux installed on a drive called sda. But sometimes when you boot it shows up as sdb and you don't get to boot at all. any solutions? | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dejahwho: use UUIDs | 01:28 |
| fishbait | that was why i was seperating | 01:29 |
| dejahwho | I tried, but then it crashed everytime even when it was seen as sda | 01:29 |
| nicolex^2 | ActionParsnip, I cannot disable power management or anything within windows for my nonfunctional BCM4311 | 01:29 |
| ratcheer | dejahwho: Use UUID instead of /dev addressing. | 01:29 |
| nicolex^2 | It is functional however, within windows, as a network device. | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | nicolex^2: in device manager, right click the NIC -> properties | 01:29 |
| dejahwho | I tried UUID, then it crashes anyways | 01:29 |
| nicolex^2 | ActionParsnip, windows locks up before I can do that. | 01:29 |
| ratcheer | dejahwho: Weird! | 01:30 |
| ActionParsnip | nicolex^2: is the RAM healthy? | 01:30 |
| smw | fishbait, a desktop does not need a separate partition for anything | 01:30 |
| nicolex^2 | ActionParsnip, I haven't tested it | 01:30 |
| dejahwho | then there an error message about how the uuids it sees are zero | 01:30 |
| ActionParsnip | dejahwho: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 01:30 |
| nicolex^2 | ActionParsnip, I imagine so, since linux is fine, only windows has issues. | 01:30 |
| smw | fishbait, although I recommend a separate /home to anyone who has the skills to understand what that measn | 01:30 |
| ActionParsnip | nicolex^2: if windows is locking it may be caused by that, try booting windows to safe mode too, you may be able to do it there | 01:30 |
| fishbait | unless vmware puts a sizeable virtual hdd under /home | 01:31 |
| nicolex^2 | Okay... | 01:31 |
| smw | fishbait, what? | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | dejahwho: the default in Ubuntu for a good while now is to use UUIDs | 01:31 |
| wylde_ | fishbait: you're making no sense. | 01:31 |
| marvelouzone | Action.. willing to take another guess at what my problem could be? | 01:31 |
| dejahwho | command output is "lsbrelease: command not found" | 01:31 |
| celthunder | marvelouzone: what was your issue? | 01:31 |
| kesten | howdy. Anybody heard of a malware program that takes pictures using your webcam - affected in ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | marvelouzone: what is the output of: ls -l `which sudo` | 01:31 |
| fishbait | for compatability i'm going to install vmplayer and it stores the virtual hard drive under home | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | celthunder: the issue is taht sudo doesn't launch the app given but the username is in the admin group | 01:32 |
| dejahwho | when I tell it to use uuids, it says all the uuids it can find are zero | 01:32 |
| wylde_ | marvelouzone: ....only reason I can think of is you got rooted. Since NONE of your administrative passwords work. | 01:32 |
| fishbait | *correction vmware player | 01:32 |
| celthunder | ActionParsnip: visudo any errors? | 01:32 |
| dejahwho | thanks anyways | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | dejahwho: sudo blkid will tell you the UUIDs, if you label the partitions yuo can use LABEL= in /etc/fstab too | 01:33 |
| laserbled | Hi, can someone tell me which file in linux source stored stores the available type of MODULE_LICENSE | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | celthunder: not sure yet, starting with the easy stuff :) | 01:33 |
| marvelouzone | ls: can not access which sudo: no such file or directory | 01:34 |
| marvelouzone | if it helps, I cant login with password either | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | marvelouzone: did you put the backticks as I used? | 01:34 |
| marvelouzone | I couldnt copy and paste let me double check | 01:35 |
| wylde_ | ` != ' | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | marvelouzone: alternatively run: file /usr/bin/sudo | 01:35 |
| celthunder | ActionParsnip: better question is sudo installed lol | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | celthunder: the last command will show that too :) | 01:35 |
| celthunder | yeah | 01:35 |
| celthunder | well assuming thats where he put it | 01:36 |
| b0llo | how do i log in as root | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | b0llo: you don't | 01:36 |
| celthunder | b0llo: sudo -i or sudo su - | 01:36 |
| wylde_ | !noroot | b0llo | 01:36 |
| ubottu | b0llo: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | b0llo: if you want a root console, use: sudo -i as celthunder said. | 01:36 |
| marvelouzone | -rwsr-xr-x 2 root root 69078 May 31 23:53 "/usr/bin/sudo" | 01:36 |
| fishbait | i want temporary files to be accessed from the non-os drive that way it can read them faster without interference from other reads to the os | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | marvelouzone: ok, try: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/nano | 01:38 |
| marvelouzone | I think its more than a sudo issue like I said I cant log into anything, and when I first installed I could i.e ssh from another maching ask for user and pass but just disconnects after I input it, samething with ttyl on the machine. the only reason I can get in because this time around I set autologon with no password | 01:39 |
| celthunder | ActionParsnip: wouldnt do that. | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | marvelouzone: hold shift at boot and select recovery mode, then select root, you can now run: passwd foo; reboot change foo for your username | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | celthunder: why not? | 01:40 |
| marvelouzone | arewe checking for a path issue? | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | marvelouzone: indeed :) | 01:40 |
| celthunder | ActionParsnip: nano hates sudo. it will make history files and etc as root you then have to clean out later. | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | celthunder: so how can we run nano to edit files we don't have access to as a normal user? | 01:40 |
| marvelouzone | no go, its ask for password, I input it, and it just goes back to the prompt waiting for new command | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | celthunder: must admit I've had ~/.nano_history owned by root | 01:41 |
| Relondo | How can I create a Unity icon that points to a script? | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | marvelouzone: try resetting password in root recovery, may help | 01:41 |
| celthunder | marvelouzone: did it output invalid or anything? | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Relondo: make a .desktop file for it in /usr/share/applications you can copy noe from ~/.config/autostart as they are simpler | 01:42 |
| celthunder | ActionParsnip: dont use nano or use a root login shell | 01:42 |
| ActionParsnip | celthunder: bah, nano is awesome, so simple :) | 01:42 |
| marvelouzone | no error message at all | 01:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Relondo: it will also make it appear in dash | 01:42 |
| L3top | ActionParsnip: celthunder try joe | 01:42 |
| marvelouzone | line I said if I just type nano it opens | 01:43 |
| * L3top sticks with vi | 01:43 | |
| Relondo | actionparsnip: Even better! | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | L3top: might learn vi, just for kicks | 01:43 |
| marvelouzone | sudo is there because when I type it it brings up options | 01:43 |
| celthunder | L3top: i use vim emacs or pico/nano... i dont need more editors | 01:44 |
| fishbait | *swears by nano* | 01:44 |
| Relondo | ActionParsnip: I don't have ownership. What's the terminal command to make a new .desktop file? | 01:44 |
| celthunder | Relondo: touch <filename> | 01:44 |
| celthunder | Relondo: thats generally the accetped way to make an empty file | 01:44 |
| L3top | I use vi because I never know what I am going to be using and it is ubiquitous across distros | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Relondo: copy one of the files from ~/.config/autostart to $HOME, edit it then use sudo to copy it, or run: gksudo nautilus and move it with GUI | 01:45 |
| fishbait | * swears by nano | 01:45 |
| fishbait | * swears by nano * | 01:45 |
| celthunder | L3top: also accross operating systems nothing funnier than watching a moron cry because the bsd they installed only has csh and vi | 01:45 |
| laserbled | does someone know the possible MODULE_LICENCE arguments....or is there any linux file where you can see available params ? | 01:45 |
| marvelouzone | what would cause all passwords to stop working? I believe thats where the problem is | 01:46 |
| celthunder | marvelouzone: /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd and /etc/sudoers | 01:47 |
| b0llo | nano is a joke editor | 01:47 |
| b0llo | might as well use MS-DOS edit | 01:47 |
| celthunder | marvelouzone: check each of the above | 01:47 |
| b0llo | vi is for powerusers | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | b0llo: I use that in windows, works well | 01:47 |
| Relondo | Actionparsnip: I have no /.config/autostart folder. | 01:47 |
| marvelouzone | check to make sure they are there? I checked those the first time I had the problem and they were, i'll check again | 01:47 |
| fishbait | bah nano is awesome b/c nano is simple | 01:47 |
| b0llo | :w | 01:48 |
| b0llo | how hard is that | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Relondo: /$HOME/.config/autostart | 01:48 |
| celthunder | marvelouzone: no look to make sure the contents arent fucked. id especially look at visudo | 01:48 |
| Relondo | Actionparsnip: But I had already made the .desktop file, anyway. | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | b0llo: CTRL+O, CTRL+X | 01:48 |
| b0llo | take your fingers off home row | 01:48 |
| fishbait | i mainly just edit config files you don't need powerful to do that | 01:49 |
| ActionParsnip | b0llo: done, as I am typing :) | 01:49 |
| b0llo | and press awkward keybindings | 01:49 |
| bazhang | celthunder, no cursing here | 01:49 |
| b0llo | no thanks | 01:49 |
| celthunder | b0llo: everyone has a different home row. im in dvorak for example | 01:49 |
| b0llo | LOL | 01:49 |
| marvelouzone | well I have no elevated priveledges so its hard for me to check, I just get permission denied | 01:49 |
| b0llo | why | 01:49 |
| celthunder | b0llo: btw im agreeing with you i like vi better than nano any day | 01:49 |
| Relondo | actionparsnip: I don't have one of those, either. | 01:49 |
| celthunder | marvelouzone: reboot and go to recovery/init1 or whatever ubuntu wants to call it and check from there. | 01:50 |
| fishbait | a true master is a master only of the basics | 01:50 |
| sleepie^eyes | ActionParsnip, This is nicolex^2, there is no Disable Power Management tab in device manager>properties for the wireless device | 01:50 |
| harrrismrubin | every time i reboot a error message comes up... i took a screenshot how do i paste it | 01:50 |
| b0llo | well even on dvorak home row is the same | 01:50 |
| sleepie^eyes | ActionParsnip, There is one for the ethernet device, so I'm in the right place, it's just not there | 01:50 |
| b0llo | positionwise anyway | 01:51 |
| fishbait | the editor doesn't matter what matters is that you can use it to edit what you need to | 01:51 |
| alusion | How is skype 4 on ubuntu ? | 01:51 |
| b0llo | its in the middle of the keys | 01:51 |
| b0llo | and ctrl is still off to the side | 01:51 |
| marvelouzone | I tried that earlier, when I would run commands in there they just would not execute for istance passwd would do nothing | 01:51 |
| celthunder | b0llo: end convo i use vim already :) | 01:51 |

| fishbait | i'm editor agnostic | 01:52 |
| celthunder | marvelouzone: interesting. | 01:52 |
| sleepie^eyes | ActionParsnip, Please help if you're not out smoking :) | 01:52 |
| celthunder | marvelouzone: so the problem isnt sudo its literally you cant run anything as root | 01:52 |
| marvelouzone | thats what I was trying to say | 01:52 |
| wylde_ | *cough*rooted*cough* | 01:53 |
| celthunder | marvelouzone: yeah...you got problems id definitly login from a live system run a rootkit finder and change your /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files | 01:53 |
| L3top | marvelouzone: what is the output of: groups | 01:53 |
| marvelouzone | this is the second time I had this problem, the first time I got totally locked out, I could enter through recovery and my root password worked, but couldnt do anything | 01:53 |
| marvelouzone | I can only get in this time because I set autologin with no passwd | 01:54 |
| fishbait | *looks at marvelouzones problem and holds up hand* | 01:54 |
| fishbait | what security programs are available for linux? | 01:55 |
| ActionParsnip | sleepie^eyes: thats all I can advise, are there any bugs reported? | 01:55 |
| sleepie^eyes | ActionParsnip, Found it, disabled power management for all pci express | 01:55 |
| celthunder | fishbait: selinux iptables chmod chown netstat | 01:55 |
| marvelouzone | the output of "groups" list (my user name) adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare | 01:55 |
| celthunder | probably a few hundred more i didnt list | 01:55 |
| sleepie^eyes | ActionParsnip, I'll head over to Google | 01:55 |
| compdoc | fishbait, i use rkhunter | 01:55 |
| L3top | fishbait: linux. | 01:56 |
| fishbait | hmm i shall have to look at those and do this amazing thing called learning | 01:56 |
| fishbait | NEVER RELY ON SECURITY THROUGH OBSCURITY! | 01:56 |
| Relondo | L3top: What was the command to make executable, again? | 01:56 |
| marvelouzone | so fishbait what do you think? | 01:56 |
| celthunder | Relondo: chmod +x | 01:56 |
| L3top | fishbait: each of the things mentioned have specific purposes, but you are from the windows school of thought where you need security on top of the os, rather than using a secure os. | 01:57 |
| fishbait | was the previous rootkit fully cleared up | 01:57 |
| Relondo | cellthunder: Thanks. | 01:57 |
| fishbait | other then that i'm all out of ideas | 01:58 |
| marvelouzone | root kit? | 01:58 |
| celthunder | fishbait: dont follow it word for word as some of it is outright wrong and wont work but there is an nsa paper on redhat security. | 01:58 |
| harrrismrubin | this is what comes up when i reboot http://imagebin.org/216462 | 01:58 |
| alan502 | Hello. I have just installed dhcp3-server but there is apparently no /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server? | 01:58 |
| fishbait | hmm i just don't want to get a nasty root-kit and completely screw up my install | 01:58 |
| ActionParsnip | alan502: try: sudo service dh and hit TAB | 01:59 |
| celthunder | fishbait: give you a good startingy point on logging and filesystem security. learning basic ccna stuff will practically teach you iptables as well | 01:59 |
| fishbait | hmm well i'm currently a+ and network+ certified | 01:59 |
| MichaelGl | don't install untrusted software | 01:59 |
| L3top | harrrismrubin: is your username literally username? | 02:00 |
| alan502 | ActionParsnip: I can see nothing :( | 02:00 |
| fishbait | oh yes thats a given on any operating system | 02:00 |
| MichaelGl | then you're good | 02:00 |
| celthunder | Filibustero: a+ is like saying you can change a tire on a car and call yourself a mechanic (honestly ccna is the same) | 02:00 |
| celthunder | er | 02:00 |
| harrrismrubin | yes | 02:00 |
| celthunder | fishbait: | 02:00 |
| fishbait | celthunder: yes? | 02:00 |
| harrrismrubin | wait no | 02:00 |
| celthunder | above comment was for you :) | 02:00 |
| marvelouzone | celthunder any ideas on what I can do to fix? | 02:00 |
| ActionParsnip | alan502: or hit tab a few times after the word service, should show all service names | 02:00 |
| L3top | harrrismrubin: touch /home/username/.shotwell/data/photo.db | 02:00 |
| L3top | reboot | 02:00 |
| celthunder | marvelouzone: do you have a usb stick or something you can live boot from | 02:01 |
| fishbait | ooh i see | 02:01 |
| celthunder | marvelouzone: id live boot and then try to find the problem outside the system | 02:01 |
| alan502 | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/CxEWLTih | 02:01 |
| Armageddon | L3top, reboot ? | 02:01 |
| L3top | sorry that was meant to be at the end of my post to harrrismrubin | 02:01 |
| Armageddon | it's still wrong | 02:01 |
| Armageddon | you mean log and back in | 02:02 |
| alan502 | Is the dhcp3-server enough to install dhcp? | 02:02 |
| fishbait | does video streaming write to the tmp or var folders? | 02:02 |
| celthunder | marvelouzone: i suspect you will have an easier time fixing from a chroot | 02:02 |
| alan502 | Is the dhcp3-server *package enough to install dhcp? | 02:02 |
| celthunder | fishbait: depends what youre using to stream | 02:02 |
| L3top | wrong is an interesting word. | 02:02 |
| ActionParsnip | alan502: not sure then dude, is it used that way? | 02:02 |
| fishbait | flsh video players to be specific | 02:02 |
| marvelouzone | could you give me a little more specifics on what I should chroot? | 02:02 |
| alan502 | ActionParsnip: I think so. I have been reading a couple of tutorials on the web and appanrently installing that package should be enough :P | 02:03 |
| celthunder | marvelouzone: your install? so you can find the problem. look at it especially /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and if you find the problem fix it then chroot and see if it worked | 02:03 |
| fishbait | celthunder: flash video players to be specific | 02:03 |
| loneclock | hi, i was wondering why i have to use sudo to install everything? | 02:04 |
| alan502 | ActionParsnip: it's weird, apparently the config files should also appear but I had to create them | 02:04 |
| alan502 | *googles again* | 02:04 |
| harrrismrubin | nothing happens when i touch it | 02:04 |
| celthunder | fishbait: dont use flash cant help you but i doubt it probably $HOME/.browser/tmp or something | 02:04 |
| celthunder | and flash shouldnt have much of a que /tmp usage | 02:04 |
| celthunder | if any | 02:04 |
| fishbait | celthunder: hmm ok | 02:04 |
| L3top | loneclock: you do not have to use sudo to install EVERYTHING, however many many things require root access in order to affect other parts of the system during the install. | 02:05 |
| marvelouzone | ok, I'll make an attempt, just not sure what I'm doing lol.. I wonder what zentyal is changing in my system thats causing this problem, when I look on there website no one else has that issue.. | 02:05 |
| harrrismrubin | L3top, nothing happens when i clicked it | 02:05 |
| L3top | loneclock: this is part of the security of linux. Things cannot install without your permission. | 02:05 |
| celthunder | loneclock: if you have access to compilers you dont need sudo for anything just build a system inside your home dir | 02:05 |
| L3top | L3top: clicked what? | 02:05 |
| L3top | harrrismrubin: clicked what | 02:06 |
| harrrismrubin | /home/username/.shotwell/data/photo.db | 02:06 |
| loneclock | L3top, i would like to install wine but i need to use sudo for it....what if i was on a system where i didnt have acess to sudo? | 02:06 |
| celthunder | marvelouzone: wats zentyal | 02:06 |
| celthunder | loneclock: build it in your home dir. as i just said | 02:06 |
| L3top | sorry... I said to touch, touch is a builtin command. You would type this in a terminal. | 02:07 |
| L3top | harrrismrubin: but you are saying it exists? | 02:07 |
| alan502 | *reinstalling dhcp3-server* | 02:07 |
| loneclock | celthunder, i am pretty new....if i use sudo am i just building inside my root directory ? | 02:07 |
| harrrismrubin | L3top, bash: /home/username/.shotwell/data/photo.db: No such file or directory | 02:07 |
| marvelouzone | its software that you use as a server/gateway/router/firewall I have two broadband connections that I load balance, I also have a zentyal on ubuntu servers at two other locations with vpn | 02:08 |
| fishbait | revised partition scheme / on 80gb drive 9gb /swap and /home on 500gb i believe this will give plenty of space for applications variable usage and a slight performance advantage. am i on the right track here? | 02:08 |
| celthunder | loneclock: no. and you shouldnt build as root anyway. sudo lets you install software using package managers and system wide. | 02:08 |
| celthunder | loneclock: you can however dl dep files and rpms if you want and use them from your home dir and or build them (much better) with prefix of your home dir | 02:09 |
| fishbait | true you don't need sudo to install things but apt-get needs sudo to look at a few files. right? | 02:09 |
| L3top | I don't use unity. Is this http://imagebin.org/216462 crash title using "username" as a generic obscura of the persons username, or is it literally pointing to /home/username ? | 02:09 |
| celthunder | fishbait: you dont have to use apt-get to install stuff. you dont need to use package managers for anything really if you dont want. | 02:09 |
| celthunder | it just makes it a tad easier. | 02:09 |
| loneclock | celthunder, so when i am using sudo i am just installing wine for all users? but if i installed inside my home directory i am only installing for one user to use | 02:10 |
| celthunder | loneclock: something like that | 02:10 |
| fishbait | hmm but then what is the alteRnative command? i only know apt-get (install/autoremove) *pacakge name here* | 02:11 |
| alan502 | !isc-dhcp-server | 02:11 |
| fishbait | i know make install to but i think thats drivers only | 02:12 |
| celthunder | fishbait: wherever you learned that...smack them | 02:13 |
| fishbait | i guessed it from only having used it to install my nic drivers | 02:13 |
| celthunder | :/ | 02:13 |
| celthunder | you can use it to build pretty much anything. | 02:14 |
| celthunder | kernel your userland... | 02:14 |
| celthunder | look at lfs. | 02:14 |
| pedahzur | Where do we go to ask questions about the Canonical Partners repository? | 02:14 |
| fishbait | ah i see so it for installing from source right? | 02:14 |
| celthunder | yeah | 02:15 |
| EDawg878 | I have two ethernet ports on my computer, how can i share the connection from one out the other? | 02:15 |
| genii-around | !ics | 02:16 |
| ubottu | If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 02:16 |
| celthunder | fishbait: you can often just extract deb files and rpms as well to your home dir | 02:16 |
| L3top | holy poop... 3 days? | 02:16 |
| celthunder | fishbait: not EVERYTHING will work like that...but enough and anything that doesnt you should probably have sysops permission for anyway | 02:16 |
| celthunder | L3top: lol yeah long time cant wait for the chaos | 02:17 |
| fishbait | ooh i see | 02:17 |
| celthunder | fishbait: for example you can install ifconfig and iptables in your home dir all you want it wont do you any good | 02:17 |
| fishbait | ah then vmware will need sysops permission but my browser should probably work fine like that | 02:18 |
| celthunder | fishbait: exactly | 02:19 |
| fishbait | i see the distinction now between what is and what isn't extract runable | 02:19 |
| fishbait | but what do i do to make a link from which to access it? | 02:20 |
| celthunder | ? | 02:20 |
| celthunder | ln -s ? | 02:20 |
| fishbait | from the menu or launcher | 02:20 |
| celthunder | or ln -h if you want to link that exact harddrive location | 02:20 |
| celthunder | what menu/launcher? | 02:21 |
| fishbait | hmm xfce | 02:21 |
| celthunder | no idea :) dont use it | 02:21 |
| fishbait | evised partition scheme / on 80gb drive 9gb /swap and /home on 500gb i believe this will give plenty of space and a slight performance advantage. am i on the right track here? | 02:24 |
| fishbait | revised* | 02:25 |
| === LofS is now known as Last | ||
| celthunder | fishbait: ? | 02:26 |
| celthunder | depends | 02:26 |
| celthunder | but i would never put 9gb on swap and your fs type and stuff matters too. look at making an lvm or using zfs | 02:27 |
| fishbait | i have 8gb of ram and it seems most things that aren't system related go under home i ntend to use vmware for compatability layer | 02:27 |
| celthunder | so you can resize as needed. personally i have 30MB /boot 16MB swap rest is btrfs under an lvm. / is 5GB /home is whatever freespace i happen to have left | 02:28 |
| celthunder | if you are using vmware and running them nearly all your real ram yeah keep the swap if not...you dotn really need it for anything other than suspend | 02:28 |
| celthunder | ultimately up to you | 02:29 |
| celthunder | just find what you need where and put it there | 02:29 |
| fishbait | mmhmm i intend to give vmware 1 core and 4gb with a 50gb drive | 02:29 |
| ActionParsnip | fishbait: sounds good to me :) | 02:29 |
| pandu | hey ActionParsnip can you help me again ? | 02:30 |
| harrrismrubin | idk | 02:30 |
| harrrismrubin | i want this error gone | 02:31 |
| ActionParsnip | pandu: sup? | 02:31 |
| fishbait | okay i think this is entirely planned out to me nothin to do now but wait | 02:31 |
| celthunder | harrrismrubin: whats the error sorry | 02:32 |
| fishbait | gotta finish setting up my little brothers new laptop | 02:32 |
| celthunder | pandu: hi agin | 02:32 |
| fishbait | bye | 02:32 |
| pandu | what's the website for download icon or theme for my ubuntu ? | 02:32 |
| celthunder | fishbait: later | 02:32 |
| fishbait | /leave re-installing | 02:32 |
| harrrismrubin | here is a screen shot celthunder http://imagebin.org/216462 | 02:32 |
| ActionParsnip | pandu: www.gnome-look.org is a good starting point | 02:32 |
| MadBoat | Hey guys. Im trying to compile an ubuntu kernel for the first time, and I'm running into a problem with a video driver for the platform im compiling for | 02:32 |
| nickmoeck | Hi.... quick question for a friend who's using 12.04. Is the mouse pointer supposed to disappear when you move it over an icon or something like that? I'd check myself but I really don't want to install unity/ubuntu-desktop on my system. | 02:32 |
| === octavio is now known as octaviordz | ||
| MadBoat | I'd like to know how to go about stopping the make process from trying to compile this driver | 02:33 |
| pandu | ActionParsnip Thanks a lot :D | 02:33 |
| === octaviordz is now known as octavio | ||
| celthunder | harrrismrubin: is your username literally username on your system? | 02:33 |
| ActionParsnip | harrrismrubin: does the filename in the error exist? | 02:33 |
| celthunder | harrrismrubin: mkdir -p /home/username/.shotwell/data/ | 02:34 |
| celthunder | harrrismrubin: touch /home/username/.shotwell/data/photo.db | 02:34 |
| snadge | my launcher has stopped autohiding for some reason.. only thing i've done is install skype 4.0, which should be unrelated? | 02:34 |
| snadge | also skype 4 doesnt show skype icon in the notification area anymore :/ anyone else noticed that? | 02:34 |
| celthunder | harrrismrubin: and then if your username isnt literally username chown -R YOURREALUSER /home/username | 02:34 |
| snadge | i could try deleting my skype settings.. rebooting etc.. but maybe someone has already tried all of this and can save me the trouble | 02:35 |
| harrrismrubin | no it does not exist | 02:35 |
| alan502 | Hello. I am trying to share my wireless internet connection through a wired router; can somebody help me? | 02:36 |
| harrrismrubin | how do i uninstall it | 02:36 |
| genii-around | celthunder: Maybe more like mkdir /home/$(whoami)/whatever | 02:37 |
| L3top | mkdir -p | 02:37 |
| ActionParsnip | snadge: I suggest you report a bug with skype | 02:37 |
| celthunder | genii-around: his error literally said /home/username so...thats what i gave him since i suspect the parents dont exist i put in -p | 02:37 |
| pedahzur | Where do we go to ask questions about the Canonical Partners repository? | 02:38 |
| bluechaos | good morning | 02:38 |
| ActionParsnip | pedahzur: here | 02:38 |
| pandu | ActionParsnip what will happend if I always change my ubuntu appearance ? | 02:38 |
| celthunder | pedahzur: why not just ask | 02:38 |
| ActionParsnip | pandu: nothing much | 02:38 |
| celthunder | bluechaos: evening | 02:38 |
| bluechaos | celthunder, | 02:38 |
| celthunder | pandu: it will 'appear' different | 02:38 |
| pedahzur | bluechaos, celthunder: I thought this was Ubuntu-only discussion. | 02:39 |
| MadBoat | alan502: First, be more specific about what you're trying to do. You want to, what, split a wireless connection between multiple computers using a wired router, some LAn cable and 1 wireless adapter? 2: I don't know how to do that :p | 02:39 |
| bluechaos | tell me one software to burn a bootable cd/dvd | 02:39 |
| pedahzur | Anyway: Skype 4.0 was released today. Any ideas when it will show up in partners repo? | 02:39 |
| celthunder | bluechaos: cdrkit | 02:39 |
| genii-around | bluechaos: Brasero | 02:39 |
| MadBoat | Anyone knowledgeable about building the ubuntu kernel in here? | 02:39 |
| bluechaos | genii-around, I try brasero but is not good | 02:39 |
| pandu | ActionParsnip My ubuntu could get broken ? | 02:40 |
| celthunder | MadBoat: ive done it..knowedgable..probably not | 02:40 |
| bluechaos | I faild to do that cd .. | 02:40 |
| MadBoat | celtthunder: I wanted to disable a particular graphics module from the build | 02:41 |
| celthunder | MadBoat: usually the graphics is added as modules you just have to blacklist it | 02:41 |
| L3top | harrrismrubin: try this instead... sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity-scope-shotwell or if you really want to get rid of it, sudo apt-get remove unity-scope-shotwell but it may remove something you want. | 02:41 |
| alan502 | MadBoat: I connect to the internet through a wireless connection on this computer. The wireless connection uses an http proxy to connect to the web. This computer is also connected to a router via wired network. I want the wireless internet connection on this computer to be shared via my router. Can you help me? I'll really appreciate it | 02:41 |
| L3top | harrrismrubin: it would show you what it was taking with it though and ask permission | 02:41 |
| ehsan_ | ss | 02:41 |
| celthunder | MadBoat: that said if it is compiled in you can recompile.. | 02:42 |
| celthunder | alan502: does your wireless card have a master mode | 02:42 |
| alan502 | what is master mode? | 02:42 |
| celthunder | alan502: if you cant put your wireless card into the proper modes it will never work | 02:42 |
| MadBoat | celtthunder: I haven't successfully compiled it yet | 02:42 |
| === octavio-rdz is now known as octaviordz | ||
| harrrismrubin | L3top, ` does that get rid of all of the packages it installed | 02:43 |
| alan502 | celthunder: what is master mode? | 02:43 |
| MadBoat | celtthunder:I've only got pre-compiled images to work | 02:43 |
| L3top | It would remove anything which depended on it harrrismrubin | 02:43 |
| L3top | harrrismrubin: again, it will tell you what it is doing, and ask you yes or no. It is safe to run it to see. | 02:43 |
| celthunder | alan502: basically it lets you use your wireless card as you want to. | 02:43 |
| ActionParsnip | pandu: its an icon, nothing more... | 02:43 |
| L3top | harrrismrubin: if you are really paranoid you can throw a --dry-run in there | 02:44 |
| pandu | ActionParsnip alright :D thanks | 02:44 |
| snadge | pedahzur: you can install skype 4 manually from their website using software centre.. but it appears the icon for it no longer shows up in the notification area | 02:44 |
| celthunder | L3top: why is he removing it? | 02:44 |
| rbik | ?join #python | 02:44 |
| L3top | celthunder: I gave him options, one of which was what he asked... which is how to remove it. | 02:44 |
| snadge | i wouldn't suggest adding it to the partner repo.. until at least that is resolved.. also my launcher no longer autohides.. and im not sure if thats related to installing skype 4, or a coincidence | 02:44 |
| celthunder | L3top: ah odd solution | 02:45 |
| * L3top suggested he apt-get install --reinstall it | 02:45 | |
| snadge | and yes.. i've tried toggling the autohide option.. it doesnt appear to achieve anything | 02:45 |
| L3top | I mean if it is literally pointing to /home/username... something got borked in an install script or something. | 02:45 |
| pedahzur | snadge: Hmm..never used software center (I'm on 11.04, Kubuntu). Was hoping it'd show up as an update in the partners's repo. | 02:45 |
| pedahzur | snadge: Thanks. | 02:45 |
| celthunder | L3top: yeah lol why i told him to mkdir -p it... | 02:46 |
| alan502 | celthunder: apparently it does support master mode. sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode master returns no error | 02:46 |
| L3top | me too | 02:46 |
| snadge | pedahzur: you just right click on the file and say install. and it defaults to installing it that way | 02:46 |
| celthunder | alan502: then just set up iptables and bridging as needed | 02:46 |
| pedahzur | snadge: There is that. Skype say the version on their web site is for 10.04...I guess they mean 10.04 or later. | 02:47 |
| gr33n7007h | I've just downloaded an ubuntu game and it's a .run file how do i execute it?? | 02:47 |
| snadge | right.. they also say they have a 64bit version.. which is lies | 02:47 |
| alan502 | celthunder: I don't know how to do that tho; this is why I come for help. | 02:47 |
| snadge | when you install the 64bit version, it depends on like 90mb worth of 32bit libs | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | gr33n7007h: ./foo.run or sh ./foo.run or, chmod +x foo..run then ./foo.run | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | gr33n7007h: mark it as executable and run it in terminal (may need sudo) | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | gr33n7007h: ie: you 'run' it. | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | gr33n7007h: its a binary file | 02:48 |
| gr33n7007h | ActionParsnip, Dr_Willis Thanks guys | 02:48 |
| Kryvysh | I need help!, I accidentally removed my password for my account, which happens to be the administrator of this computer. (the only account to be honest). I just installed ubuntu yesterday and today I no longer have administrative privilages because of my actions. I try to add a password but it won't let me. It says "None" for password but when I click it, it gives me 3 options. Current Password, New Password and Confirm passwor | 02:48 |
| Kryvysh | d, but no matter what I do or try, I can't get it to be able for me to click "change" ... The button is unclickable.. I can't get a password, I don't know what to do. | 02:48 |
| Kryvysh | No longer with admin priv in my comp. If anyone could help me, I'd appreciate it very very much (and sorry for such a long response) | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | use of .run type installers is sort of frowned upon. ;) | 02:48 |

| alan502 | celthunder: can you help me? | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Kryvysh: boot to root recovery console and you can set your password there | 02:49 |
| Kryvysh | i tried that | 02:49 |
| Kryvysh | it didnt work | 02:49 |
| Kryvysh | for some odd reson | 02:49 |

| sam555 | when I type this sudo ufw allow Samba | 02:50 |
| L3top | Kryvysh: how did you accidentally remove your password? | 02:50 |
| celthunder | alan502: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-wap/index.html there | 02:50 |
| sam555 | i get this error:ERROR: Could not find a profile matching 'Samba' | 02:51 |
| sam555 | any ideas? | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | sam555: perhaps its 'samba'not Samba | 02:51 |
| L3top | sam555: samba | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | !firewall | 02:51 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 02:51 |

| sam555 | Dr_Willis: & L3top same error with lower case | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | sam555: could ibe 'samba' is not the right name. try the tab completion to show possible names? | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont use any firewall rules. ;) | 02:53 |
| Kryvysh | i went to users, and i clicked mine (the only one) and was curious what login without password or some option like that was, and it removed my pw, then i clicked the lock unlock thing, and I no longer was able to unlock so I could change it back or what not. | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | dont see much need for them on my home lan | 02:53 |
| * octaviordz hi | 02:54 | |
| L3top | went to users in what Kryvysh? I am not understanding how you could do this. | 02:54 |

| Kryvysh | L3top: top right cornor i clicked my account. then under account i clicked my account. then from there i saw password and i fidgetted with it, to the point where I was left w/out a password and no password i guess means, no password to use to authenticate administrative privilages.. i think/hope that made sense... | 02:56 |

| * Dr_Willis wonders if the account has a password - but is set to be disabled. | 02:57 | |
| L3top | Kryvysh: lsb_release -sc | 02:57 |
| celthunder | alan502: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-wap/index.html there basic directions | 02:57 |
| * L3top is just not familiar enough with unity to address this, but it doesn't seem as though anything you "click" from desktop should be able to screw this sort of basic necessity up | 02:58 | |
| celthunder | Kryvysh: so set a new one? | 02:58 |
| Dr_Willis | i recall a 'disable account' button in the user configs. seems odd he could disable all the accounts. :) but ive seen weirder thingfs happen. | 02:59 |
| L3top | Kryvysh: well... regardless. I believe the solution is going to be to live boot to cd, chroot into the machine and set a password. | 02:59 |
| Dr_Willis | make a new admin user also may be a good idea while chrooted.. just in case | 02:59 |
| L3top | Or create | 02:59 |
| L3top | yeah | 02:59 |
| Kryvysh | alright, thanks you guys, Imma try it right now!, | 03:00 |
| Alan502 | celthunder: I think you misunderstood me. I connect to the internet through the wireless connection but I want to share it through a wired connection | 03:08 |
| Alan502 | celthunder: I have read the tutorial but apparently it teaches you how to do it the other way | 03:08 |
| celthunder | Alan502: oh same stuff applies | 03:10 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: as far as I know there should be no difference in shareing wifi or shareing wired just the interfaces are reversed eth0 = eth1 ; eth1 = eth0; or whatever your interfaces are named | 03:10 |
| celthunder | Alan502: just pretend its a kvm or xen vm in bridged mode. | 03:11 |
| Alan502 | celthunder, sacarlson : but my wired connection is connected to a wireless router. I attempt to share my wireless connection through my router. | 03:11 |
| celthunder | Alan502: except in this case its real hardware. | 03:11 |
| L3top | sorry missed the pm Kryvysh... these things are best left in main chan. If I make an error, someone would catch it this way. | 03:12 |
| Alan502 | hmmm | 03:12 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: just make sure you don't have conflicting dhcp servers running then, that's it | 03:12 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: can I leave the dhcp server of my router and disable any other dhcp servers, would that work? | 03:14 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: and also, should my computer be connected to a "regular" port or to the "wan" port | 03:15 |
| Zephyrusuo | regular port | 03:15 |
| Zephyrusuo | wan means wide area network which is where the router connects to modem | 03:15 |
| Zephyrusuo | wan is the internet for example | 03:16 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: as long as the remaining dhcp server can provide the correct values for ip , mask, gateway, I would think you can run it anywhere, but I run mine on my ubuntu | 03:16 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: oh and dns ip | 03:16 |
| L3top | Kryvysh: Boot to live cd. Open a terminal and type sudo -s. mount /dev/sdXY /mnt where X is the disk and Y is the partition. Typically /dev/sda1. then chroot /mnt. To create a user: useradd -G admin mynewusername using an actual user name. | 03:16 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: correct values? | 03:17 |
| L3top | Kryvysh: if we were doing more than this we would want to mount more things... but for this we shouldnt need to | 03:17 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: I just disable the dhcp server in my adsl+wifi router | 03:17 |
| blackshirt | I have usb modem and try to connect with wvdial.. | 03:17 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: what dhcp server do you use in ubuntu? dhcp3-server or isc-dhcp? | 03:18 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: well yes the values given from dhcpd must provide the values that will hook up to your present network | 03:18 |
| L3top | Kryvysh: then, because I like things clean, umount /dev/sda1 (or whatever your partition is) and reboot to the hd. | 03:18 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: I run both of those dhcp3-server and isc-dhcp as I run 2 different versions of systems on my network, one will pick up the service if one dies | 03:19 |
| L3top | Kryvysh: you would have to type exit before the umount... sorry... to leave the chroot jail | 03:19 |
| blackshirt | But why, init3 = at+cgdcont=1,"apn","ip" was daid bad init string | 03:19 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: and both isc-dhcp and dhcp3-server both work fine | 03:19 |
| blackshirt | said | 03:19 |
| randi | anyone good at troubleshooting wifi problems? | 03:19 |
| ActionParsnip | randi: state your issue and the channel will reply if it can | 03:20 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: i installed dhcp3-server but no configuration files where created on ubuntu and the daemon was not present on /etc/init.d | 03:20 |
| blackshirt | But why, init3 = at+cgdcont=1,"apn","ip" was said bad init string | 03:21 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: I am trying to get isc-dhcp-server to work right now but with no success; can the router serve as a dhcp server instead do you think? | 03:21 |
| intrapata | hi how can i disable autologin on Lubuntu | 03:21 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 03:21 |
| Alan502 | 12.04 | 03:21 |
| intrapata | hello hi how can i disable autologin on Lubuntu | 03:21 |
| intrapata | thanks | 03:21 |
| ActionParsnip | intrapata: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 03:21 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: the router might be able to run the dhcp it depends on the firmware installed in it and how flexible the config of the device is | 03:22 |
| celthunder | Alan502: you really onl need iptables forward and/or ip routes no dhcp server needed | 03:22 |
| randi | I installed Ubuntu 10.10 and the wifi worked fine.. after updating there is no wifi option | 03:22 |
| celthunder | Alan502: then just set the ips statically | 03:22 |
| ActionParsnip | randi: what version did you update to? | 03:22 |
| Alan502 | celthunder: I am trying to set this for my whole family with several devices which would not be ideal to set each one of them statically | 03:23 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: in the past seems the dhcp3-server was very easy to install it was plug and play as far as I know, can I see your config file? | 03:23 |
| randi | ActionParsnip : 11.11 | 03:23 |
| ActionParsnip | randi: did you upgrade to 11.04 first? | 03:24 |
| randi | ActionParsnip: sorry that's what I meant 11.04 | 03:24 |
| intrapata | <ActionParsnip> sir its says precies | 03:24 |
| intrapata | precise | 03:24 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: on my system the config is at /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf but yours might be at /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf | 03:24 |
| L3top | What is your ultimate goal for the system Alan502? | 03:24 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: the thing is, there was no config file created after install. I added this under /etc/dhcp3 though: http://pastebin.com/TcpL8Z18 | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | intrapata: edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and you can comment out the line: autologin-user=foo | 03:25 |
| blackshirt | I have add init3= at+cgdcont=1,"apn","ip" to wvdial.conf, but why was said bad init string | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | randi: if you run: sudo lshw -C network does it show the network adapter? Is it disabled? | 03:25 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: sorry my ISP filters http://pastebin.com can you try http://pastebin.ubuntu.com | 03:26 |
| Alan502 | L3top: I have a system which is connected to the internet via wireless (it connects to a network which has a proxy which I use to go to the internet) however, I would like to share this connection via wireless router to other systems in the house (this system is wired to the router) do you think its possible? | 03:26 |
| intrapata | <ActionParsnip> do i need to su ? | 03:26 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: sure :) | 03:27 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: | 03:27 |
| Alan502 | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1041812/ | 03:27 |
| randi | ActionParsnip: yeah it shows the AR5008 Wireless adapter | 03:27 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: I see no gateway address in you config | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | randi: ok and is it disabled? does it have a driver loaded for it? What is the interface name? Does it have an IP address? | 03:28 |
| randi | it does say "*-network UNCLAIMED" just above it though | 03:28 |
| L3top | Yes. Definitely possible. | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | randi: ahhh then no driver is oaded | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | *loaded | 03:28 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: is my own computers ip the gateway? | 03:29 |
| ActionParsnip | randi: if you hold shift at boot and select the old kernel, you can see what driver module it uses | 03:29 |
| intrapata | Sir <ActionParsnip> i run edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf ,, and get this error "no write permission for file "/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf" | 03:29 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: oh you have option routers 192.168.1.254; outside your subnet, I guess that might work | 03:29 |
| ActionParsnip | intrapata: gksudo leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 03:30 |
| Alan502 | aaaaaaaaaaaaaa why is networking so haaaard | 03:30 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: that looks like it might work, so if you restart do you get any errors? | 03:30 |
| arussel | I have a tomcat that will send mail using javamail, do I have to configure anything for this to work ? (ie either tell tomcat to use a different port) | 03:31 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: I got an ntp error before but I installed the ntp package on synaptic and it does not give me any more erorrs | 03:31 |
| intrapata | <ActionParsnip> sir which of this should i edit " [SeatDefaults] | 03:31 |
| intrapata | autologin-guest=false | 03:31 |
| intrapata | autologin-user=intrapata | 03:31 |
| intrapata | autologin-user-timeout=0 | 03:31 |
| intrapata | autologin-session=lightdm-autologin | 03:31 |

| intrapata | greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter | 03:31 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: i'll paste you the output when i restart the daemon | 03:31 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: ok and your devices that connect do they get an ip address? | 03:31 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: oh and we should see that dhcp is listening on the ethernet port you desire | 03:32 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: no they dont get an ip adress | 03:33 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: so they can connect to your access point as that's how they are supposed to connect yes? | 03:34 |
| pandu | jaiihooo Alanparsnip | 03:35 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: if I enable the dhcp on my router all my devices can connect without problem but If i disable it so that ubuntu will serve as a dhcp server they won't connect | 03:35 |
| Alan502 | can connect to the network | 03:35 |
| MeXTuX | I want to enlarge my Ubuntu partition. Maybe resize it 20 GB. Windows 7 is also installed on same PC. I need advice on how to do this safely. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1041823/ | 03:35 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: and for now I hope you have encryption turned off just for tesing to remove that as a posibility | 03:36 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: ok, removing it now... | 03:36 |
| celthunder | MeXTuX: lvm/zfs? | 03:38 |
| L3top | Alan502: to be clear... there is nothing ELSE spitting DHCP on the internal network right? | 03:38 |
| L3top | because that will break the dhcpd | 03:38 |
| celthunder | Alan502: did you make sure your dhcp realizes its not the real router? | 03:39 |
| MeXTuX | celthunder: what? i'm newbie | 03:39 |
| randi | after booting into older kernel the wifi is still not working ? or am I doing it wrong? | 03:39 |
| celthunder | MeXTuX: lvdisplay if you are in an lvm just resize it | 03:39 |

| L3top | excellent question celthunder. | 03:54 |
| Abhijit | hi guys. anyone knows a working widget/screenlet or something for gnome3 shell for currency converting? | 03:54 |
| celthunder | my isp filters me i go around it they complain i go elsewhere | 03:54 |
| sacarlson | celthunder: it has something to do with india law suit for torrents that use pastebin.com to host torrents. it's not in dns it's in ip filter I guess | 03:55 |
| celthunder | sacarlson: vpn | 03:55 |
| ntiy | oh, split | 03:56 |
| sacarlson | celthunder: I was getting a web proxy working for some time but my ISP works on filtering them also | 03:56 |
| celthunder | and you cant stop torrenting anyway...idk why people dont just support it. i torrent all the time. if your product is good people will still go and pay you for it | 03:56 |
| sacarlson | celthunder: seem the more I try to go around them the more they filter so sometimes if you don't really need it don't do it | 03:57 |
| celthunder | if its a bad product (quite a bit of things) or not worth what you sell it for (adobe) people wont pay you | 03:57 |
| celthunder | sacarlson: lol just buy a server or vps and make a vpn to tunnell al your traffic to | 03:58 |
| celthunder | if they ask say its your employers | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Abhijit: found one for KDE so far.. | 03:58 |

| Abhijit | ActionParsnip, ok | 04:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Abhijit: that code works well :) | 04:02 |
| nate_ | is there any alsa-drivers downloads that you don | 04:03 |
| nate_ | don't have to ./configure & make & make install but just the binary so you can modprobe the ,ko files | 04:04 |
| nate_ | i,e just a download of all the binaries / .ko files needed in modprobeinng or using alsa-driver not interested in building and currently don;t have a working gcc anyway. plus don't want to build just install | 04:04 |
| Abhijit | ActionParsnip, good one | 04:04 |
| L3top | nate_: apt-get install alsa-base | 04:04 |
| L3top | nate_: apt-get install alsa-utils | 04:04 |
| L3top | nate_: what version buntu you on?\ | 04:05 |
| sacarlson | for anyone in thailand or indea I found what seems to be a working web proxy for http://pastebin.com problems http://www.webproxy.ca/ it works today but who knows about tomaro | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | nate_: that's what the repos are for, they are all binaries.. | 04:07 |
| sacarlson | celthunder: see with an investment of time there is always a free method | 04:07 |
| nate_ | not on a ubuntu system need it for a centos yum system so I was trying to wget it since they don't seem to have it in the repo that I have be default so is there a wget that allows you just to get the binary not have to build it from sources | 04:07 |
| celthunder | sacarlson: you can also set up your own pastebin thats free too theres hundreds of them | 04:08 |
| celthunder | :) | 04:08 |

| nate_ | I understand that but don't really need a local pastebin when I got tons all over the net to uses... not like I am trying to hide info or something | 04:09 |
| nate_ | is there a .tar I can wget instead? | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | sure | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | nate_: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Driver_Compilation all the tar's are source though | 04:10 |
| sacarlson | celthunder: yes but the problem is that people here like to use http://pastebin.com and I can't read it without this present method with http://www.webproxy.ca/ to see the results | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: I use pastie, it runs fast on mobile devices | 04:11 |
| nate_ | crap does anybody want to apt-get the binaries and send me over the deb files for them ? or just extract the binary parts I need and tar them up? | 04:14 |
| nate_ | :) sucks to here about the tar files being all source builds but I guess that is the smart thing to do anyway | 04:15 |
| L3top | You can download the packages and extract what you need... or the source... I am not understanding what you want nate_. | 04:16 |
| L3top | apt-get is your friend. | 04:16 |
| ActionParsnip | nate_: apt-get install -d will download the debs for you and put them in /var/cache/apt/archives | 04:16 |
| genii-around | L3top: Centos system | 04:16 |
| L3top | Guess I should get around to figuring out what that is genii-around. | 04:17 |

| nate_ | sudo yum install apt-get gives me no package exists I am screwed | 04:20 |
| L3top | nate_: I would expect aptitude... but what you are doing is a bit outside of the norm. | 04:22 |
| ActionParsnip | nate_: you'd run the apt-get command in Ubuntu, then transfer the files... | 04:22 |
| L3top | nate_: wait... there is a site to dl the debs. | 04:22 |
| L3top | http://packages.ubuntu.com/ nate_ | 04:22 |
| L3top | that is probably what you want, and it will show depends etc | 04:23 |
| estevam | hi | 04:23 |
| L3top | of course... it is probably easiest to do what ActionParsnip said, and download and extract the binaries from the packages in ubuntu and then xfer them | 04:24 |
| mi3 | hi! | 04:24 |
| nate_ | thanks I forgot about that stupid me I will have to try downloading at that rpm site again to get the rpm version guess it won't matter though since I can extract it from a deb or rpm package the problem will arise in installing it and it installing at all | 04:26 |
| Dr_Willis | whenever i detatch my screen session, weechat goes back to the first buffer when i reatatch.. wonder why its doing that. | 04:26 |

| Alan502 | i mean | 04:31 |
| Alan502 | dhcp server? | 04:31 |
| nate_ | not for my old hardware dell computer no normally I would supect it would this is one of those rare rare ocassions kind of like to push the edge kind of stuff | 04:32 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: yes both come from the dhcp server | 04:32 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: hello sacarlson | 04:32 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: I am now trying a different approach | 04:32 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: I want to use the dhcp server on the router and use a squid transparent server to forward all the http requests | 04:32 |
| === VGoff is now known as VGoff_afk | ||
| Alan502 | sacarlson: to do this I just would need all devices on the same lan network and have the computer with internet access and squid installed with the lowest ip adress right? (so that other systems try to access the internet through it and use squid trasnparent server) | 04:33 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: I was thinking since to connect to your wifi ISP you must use dhcp to get that so you would have to add the line INTERFACES="ethX" with the device that is on your non isp side | 04:34 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: oh they are all on the same network card? | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | !away > VGoff_afk | 04:35 |
| ubottu | VGoff_afk, please see my private message | 04:35 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: no no, there is one card connected to the internet (wireless) and one to the home lan (wired) | 04:35 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: I don't use squid I just forward through my router | 04:35 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: I have done that, can't remember in which specific file but I am sure i have set INTERFACES="eth0" somewhere as I found it on a forum post | 04:35 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: and you pick up your ISP on the wifi side with dhcp ? | 04:35 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: yes | 04:36 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: the wifi has dhcp | 04:36 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: it wasn't in the file you sent us | 04:36 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: so i need to add it in that file? | 04:36 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: if you aren't having probems getting a working address from your wifi ISP I guess you must have something correct | 04:37 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: yes my wifi's ISP gives me my address via dhcp | 04:37 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: right now I have my internet connected system and my other systems in the same lan network 192.168.1.x via the dhcp of my home router | 04:38 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: and what device is this ISP on? | 04:38 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: wlan0 | 04:38 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: oh so you don't have the mask for the two nets setup correct? let me see ifconfig wlan0 and ifconfig eth0 | 04:39 |

| monkey | quit | 04:41 |

| Alan502 | monkey: try a / in front of that | 04:41 |

| Alan502 | sacarlson: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1041873/ | 04:42 |

| Alan502 | sacarlson: aha | 04:42 |
| Alan502 | :D | 04:43 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: but this route looks mest up I think | 04:43 |

| Alan502 | sacarlson: my wifi is my isp | 04:45 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: if i go to network manager and click on disconnect wifi i will no longer have internet | 04:45 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: well then your wifi connects to a device on 192.168.0.1? | 04:45 |
| ra0mb1er | hi everyone | 04:45 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: i think so | 04:46 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: well that's on eth0 not wlan0 | 04:46 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: i am not sure how it works to be hones | 04:47 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: at the ip adresses/routing level | 04:48 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: I would think if you disconect wlan0 you should still be connected to something | 04:48 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: but my wifi connects to a network which then I use a proxy in that netwrok to connect to the internet | 04:48 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: yes, I will be connected to my home network | 04:48 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: you over complicate with this proxy I guess | 04:48 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: I have no control over this network | 04:49 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: start simple and add proxy later | 04:49 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: I guess I don't have the full picture as I don't understand how your proxy works | 04:50 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest92531 | ||

| sacarlson | Alan502: so this line has always been wrong option routers 192.168.1.254; | 04:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Kryvysh: press ALT+F2 and run: compiz --replace | 04:54 |
| L3top | Kryvysh: at login, press the little icon thingy in the corner and choose Unity. | 04:55 |
| L3top | or... that is better | 04:55 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: should be option routers 192.168.3.9? | 04:55 |
| Kryvysh | lol, thanks 2 two :) | 04:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Unity2D ftw | 04:55 |

| sacarlson | Alan502: I guess I should have asked for all the info to start so I had the picture | 04:57 |
| L3top | re-sure-pus: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 04:57 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: but thats only for the dhcp server right? | 04:58 |
| re-sure-pus | L3top , alrighty ill give it a try thanks | 04:58 |

| re-sure-pus | L3top , wont work :( | 04:59 |
| Viking667 | i.e. gedit | 04:59 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: but you will have to setup the proxy on each of your clients that connect I don't know how to set that up auto | 04:59 |
| L3top | top will give you general process/mem usage... /proc/cpuinfo and /proc/meminfo will give you heaps of info | 04:59 |
| L3top | one second re-sure-pus | 04:59 |
| re-sure-pus | L3top , ight | 04:59 |
| L3top | yeah... they will work | 04:59 |

| re-sure-pus | L3top , im gettin an error | 05:00 |
| L3top | With what and what is the error | 05:00 |
| re-sure-pus | the terminal thing | 05:01 |

| re-sure-pus | sacarlson: its not a command ether... seriusly i would like some help from some one | 05:06 |
| cliffster | in case others ask, it was a bitch to set up on a USB HDD | 05:06 |
| sacarlson | re-sure-pus: sound like you shell path might be mest up | 05:06 |
| re-sure-pus | sacarlson: how do i fix that? | 05:07 |
| cliffster | paid $70 for a cheap HDD | 05:07 |
| sacarlson | re-sure-pus: try echo $PATH | 05:07 |
| L3top | he wont have echo either | 05:07 |
| sacarlson | re-sure-pus: or your not fully booted? | 05:07 |
| L3top | these are all builtins | 05:07 |
| re-sure-pus | thats a command | 05:08 |
| cliffster | never did get the USB HDD thing working... a CD install onto a USB HDD | 05:08 |
| re-sure-pus | sacarlson: it worked | 05:08 |
| L3top | echo "$PATH" | 05:08 |
| L3top | what is the output? | 05:08 |
| sacarlson | re-sure-pus: /bin/cat | 05:08 |
| re-sure-pus | its $path | 05:08 |
| cliffster | also | 05:08 |
| Gallomimia | hi there i'm having a minor problem: every time i login to my ubuntu box via ssh it says i have 71 updates to perform. well i just performed the updates.... twice. how can they run more than once?? it also says i have a load higher than 2.0 when i don't and thus stats are disabled. what's wrong with the update of this message? why is it out of date? | 05:09 |
| L3top | re-sure-pus: are you talking to us on the machine you are typing these things on? | 05:09 |
| sacarlson | re-sure-pus: it is case sensitive | 05:09 |
| L3top | re-sure-pus: Capitalization counts, for one... | 05:09 |
| L3top | however... it shouldnt have echoed that | 05:09 |
| L3top | it should have echoed the value of the string path, which would have been empty | 05:09 |
| re-sure-pus | yeah i typed it like echo $path then it poped out $path | 05:10 |
| cliffster | a 12.04 install...don't do it to a pure USB HDD | 05:10 |
| cliffster | major trouble | 05:10 |
| cliffster | I didn't say "from", I said to | 05:10 |
| sacarlson | re-sure-pus: use CAPITAL leters when asked | 05:10 |
| L3top | Still not going to get that output... | 05:11 |
| re-sure-pus | ok what should be capitalised? | 05:11 |
| cliffster | 12.04 doesn't like seeing a USB drive as the only HDD | 05:11 |
| cliffster | (as the target) | 05:11 |

| re-sure-pus | ohhh ok | 05:12 |
| * cliffster has a smoke | 05:12 | |
| cliffster | Oh, and btw | 05:12 |
| re-sure-pus | when i type echo $PATH i get $PATH | 05:12 |
| sacarlson | re-sure-pus: also we might try /bin/cat /proc/cpuinfo | 05:12 |
| cliffster | LAMP is gonna make my day | 05:12 |
| sacarlson | L3top: funny that without "" works is that something setup in my env? | 05:13 |
| cliffster | X says, "There's no X here" | 05:13 |
| cliffster | lol | 05:13 |
| re-sure-pus | should i just put /bin/cat | 05:14 |
| L3top | It will work. It is just wrong. If, for instance, the variable had multiple lines, it would blurt it all out on the same line. | 05:14 |
| nate_ | try http://www.sendspace.com/file/mrs12z :) don't need to build it LOL if you know what it is | 05:14 |
| cliffster | what's with the floodbots? | 05:14 |

| cliffster | the terminal rox | 05:18 |
| cliffster | I can do that | 05:18 |
| re-sure-pus | sacarlson: where did i go wrong?? | 05:18 |
| sacarlson | re-sure-pus: maybe it's the way this user is configured with minimal access to resources? | 05:18 |
| Gallomimia | re-sure-pus: then you'll want to watch out for procedures that will result in loss of connection to the room while you're on the same system as you're editing | 05:19 |

| cliffster | Gall makes sense | 05:19 |
| sacarlson | re-sure-pus: I don't know what you did I expect you might want to reboot. I don't know what state your system is in and without resources can't do anything | 05:20 |

| L3top | I think he should reboot, and if it is persistent, something is terribly wrong with the install | 05:26 |
| sacarlson | L3top: I secound that re-sure-pus | 05:26 |
| * L3top doesn't understand how it COULD function in this state. | 05:27 | |
| re-sure-pus | so just turn it off? | 05:27 |
| sacarlson | wow 0 for 3 for me and rising | 05:27 |
| L3top | if I have to explain what reboot means... it is gonna be a long night. | 05:27 |

| L3top | re-sure-pus: /sbin/reboot | 05:29 |
| L3top | (that will actually just shut down most likely... odd little thing) | 05:29 |
| sacarlson | L3top: it would have to be power off he has no commands re-sure-pus | 05:29 |
| Gallomimia | shutdown -r now | 05:29 |
| L3top | /sbin/reboot is a binary | 05:29 |
| Gallomimia | so.... anyone know anything about /var/run/motd(.new) | 05:30 |
| L3top | in fact... interestingly... ls -l /sbin/shutdown | 05:30 |
| sacarlson | L3top: it's like he has not root so no /bin /sbin .... | 05:30 |
| L3top | ahhhhhhh aren't you the shiny penny sacarlson... I wonder if he DOES have sudo... | 05:30 |
| Gallomimia | L3top: weird.... it has +x for everyone eh? | 05:30 |
| tokinwhiteman | Hey | 05:31 |
| L3top | sorry... I meant ls -l /sbin/poweroff | 05:31 |
| tokinwhiteman | I am having trouble installing Skype 4.0, I keep getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1041914/ | 05:31 |
| Gallomimia | hah. now that's funny | 05:32 |
| Alan502 | My ubuntu has something very weird. Before, I couldn't see dhcp3-server under /etc/init.d now I cant see iptables under /etc/init.d/ what could it be? | 05:32 |
| * Viking667 blinks. Skype 4?? | 05:32 | |
| tokinwhiteman | I have tried both an upgrade path and install path after purging skype | 05:32 |
| Gallomimia | skype 4 came out today... or yesterday? | 05:32 |
| tokinwhiteman | ideas? | 05:32 |
| Viking667 | tokinwhiteman: what platform are you attempting to install SKype4 on? | 05:32 |
| wylde_ | hmmm victim of a misused rm -rf command? If so a reboot is going to....well.....you know | 05:32 |
| tokinwhiteman | ubuntu 12.04 x86-64 | 05:32 |
| Viking667 | Gallomimia: wow. I wasn't aware of that. I'm still on 2.25.xx.ff | 05:32 |
| Viking667 | sorry 2.2.0.35 | 05:33 |
| Gallomimia | i happened to visit the skype page and they're proudly toting skype4 for linux | 05:33 |
| Viking667 | sigh. Figures. You know it's now owned by Microsoft, don't you? | 05:33 |
| tokinwhiteman | Yea it was all over reddit today on r/linux and r/ubuntu | 05:33 |
| Gallomimia | i can tell you on mac and windows it looks fucking horrible so | 05:33 |
| Gallomimia | i didn't actually! | 05:33 |
| Gallomimia | but i had already decided to never rely upon them in a free society | 05:33 |
| Viking667 | That's rather old news. For nearly six months or so. | 05:34 |
| re-sure-pus | help? | 05:34 |
| cliffster | . | 05:34 |
| Gallomimia | well not something i follow all the time... this is quite off topic tho, and i'm still trying to figure out what the frack handles the motd files in ubuntu | 05:34 |
| L3top | re-sure-pus: what happens if you type sudo /sbin/reboot | 05:35 |
| Viking667 | that'd be /etc/issue, and /etc/issue.net I think. | 05:35 |
| Viking667 | as for motd, I don't know what provides that. | 05:35 |
| Gallomimia | re-sure-pus the working theory is now that you've accidentally erased most of your hard drive and any kind of reboot and any kind of attempts to fix it are going to fail. backup any files you can and reinstall would be the solution. make sure first | 05:35 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: there is no iptables in /etc/init.d | 05:35 |
| cliffster | (and I got bounced?) lol | 05:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Gallomimia: I usinstaled the old first, installed ok :) | 05:35 |
| Gallomimia | i don't think iptables is a service? | 05:35 |
| Gallomimia | ActionParsnip: i'm sorry the old what? i think it's been a few days since i spoke to you last... | 05:36 |
| re-sure-pus | it says its not a command | 05:36 |
| tenX | Gallomimia: right | 05:36 |
| sacarlson | Gallomimia: is correct iptables is not a service Alan502: | 05:36 |
| Gallomimia | re-sure-pus: then you've destroyed that system. backup your files and reinstall ubuntu | 05:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Gallomimia: the skype, if you uninstall old skype and install the new deb it installs ok | 05:36 |
| L3top | yeah... I agree you have chunked this install re-sure-pus | 05:36 |
| sacarlson | re-sure-pus: did you power off power on yet? | 05:36 |
| Gallomimia | i don't use skype on a linux machine... as for iptables it's built into the networking portion of the kernel right? | 05:37 |
| wylde_ | re-sure-pus: you didn't happen to use any 'rm' commands before this problem came up did you? | 05:37 |
| tokinwhiteman | ActionParsnip: I tried that didn't work for me.heres my error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1041914/ | 05:37 |
| Noize | how do i figure out my my numbers in this commandline? " sudo modprobe iwl#### ? | 05:37 |
| re-sure-pus | when i push it it dosent turn off | 05:37 |
| Gallomimia | pull the power plug out | 05:38 |
| Gallomimia | that'll turn it off | 05:38 |
| Gallomimia | then try to reboot | 05:38 |
| Gallomimia | wait | 05:38 |
| FloodBot1 | Gallomimia: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:38 |
| tenX | Gallomimia: interface for kernel netfilter | 05:38 |
| sacarlson | re-sure-pus: eather push the reset botton or hold power for 12 secounds | 05:38 |
| L3top | hold the power button down for 5 seconds | 05:38 |
| Gallomimia | do you have any files you NEED on this system? | 05:38 |
| cliffster | I apologize | 05:38 |
| Alan502 | sacarlson: should i be able to run? sudo service iptables save right? | 05:38 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: maybe without the service part | 05:39 |
| elky | cliffster, join #ubuntu-ops to discuss the ban please | 05:39 |
| cliffster | OK, elky | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Noize: hit tab a few times, you will get suggestions | 05:39 |
| re-sure-pus | well its my moms computer | 05:39 |
| Gallomimia | then you should try and back up everything in /home | 05:40 |
| re-sure-pus | how? | 05:40 |
| sacarlson | Alan502: I think it's sudo iptables-save and sudo iptables-restore | 05:40 |
| tokinwhiteman | anyone have any idea's here? | 05:40 |
| Gallomimia | scp -R /home myusername@myothercomputersip:backupfoldername | 05:40 |
| wylde_ | Gallomimia: apparently he has no commands available. Hence my suggestion that a particular rm command was used. | 05:40 |
| ActionParsnip | tokinwhiteman: did you uninstall the old skype first? | 05:41 |
| Gallomimia | yeah i am starting to agree with you wylde_ | 05:41 |
| sacarlson | re-sure-pus: you broke it you fix it | 05:41 |
| tokinwhiteman | not at first, when it failed, i did then it didn't work, then i purged skype and tried to reinstall | 05:41 |
| re-sure-pus | sacarlson: ive been holding the power button for a while and its still not turning off.. un plug it then? | 05:42 |
| Gallomimia | well first | 05:42 |
| tokinwhiteman | yea unplug it man | 05:42 |
| Gallomimia | you should do the backup | 05:42 |
| Gallomimia | cause if our theory is correct | 05:42 |
| L3top | tokinwhiteman: uname -m | 05:43 |
| Gallomimia | it WILL NOT boot back up | 05:43 |
| sacarlson | re-sure-pus: yes last resort unplug it | 05:43 |
| Gallomimia | backup your mom's files first | 05:43 |
| Gallomimia | unless you want her to commit infanticide. | 05:43 |
| wylde_ | Gallomimia: there'll be no files to backup if that rm command was used against / which kind of seems to be the case | 05:43 |
| tokinwhiteman | L3top x86_64 | 05:43 |
| Gallomimia | ah that sucks | 05:44 |
| Gallomimia | well look inside /home and see what there is | 05:44 |
| tokinwhiteman | re-sure-pus do you at least have a terminal in front of you? | 05:44 |
| Gallomimia | tokinwhiteman: he's on it. now | 05:44 |
| wylde_ | the only applications available will be the ones still in memroy heh | 05:44 |
| L3top | tokinwhiteman: I would apt-get remove it and reinstall. | 05:44 |
| wylde_ | memory* | 05:45 |
| Gallomimia | wylde_ he i suppose the scp command will fail too | 05:45 |
| wylde_ | from what I'm seeing, yep | 05:45 |
| Gallomimia | well.... if that's the case, sorry for you re-sure-pus. everything's gone. | 05:46 |
| re-sure-pus | but i have the terminal | 05:46 |
| wylde_ | I haven't been watching intently, but what I did see seems like only the shell built-ins are usable. No external commands seem to work. | 05:46 |
| Gallomimia | type ls -l / | 05:46 |
| sacarlson | Gallomimia: re-sure-pus might be able to mount the present disk from a live cd boot and recover files from /home/?? | 05:46 |
| L3top | wylde_: buitins dont work unless they are in memory | 05:47 |
| re-sure-pus | where theres a shell theres a way? | 05:47 |
| L3top | wylde_: and echo isn't even working right. | 05:47 |
| tokinwhiteman | L3top I already tried that, didn't work, heres the error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1041924/ | 05:47 |
| Gallomimia | sacarlson, re-sure-pus it's possible yes. | 05:47 |
| sacarlson | Gallomimia: or maybe it will just boot up and work perfectly for the rest of his moms life | 05:47 |
| wylde_ | L3top: ahh ok, I must have missed that. | 05:47 |
| Gallomimia | who knows | 05:47 |
| re-sure-pus | thank god | 05:47 |
| sacarlson | Gallomimia: that is if he kills her tomaro | 05:47 |
| L3top | No... the terminal just runs commands, commands you have all erased | 05:48 |
| Gallomimia | a few more tests to see if it's actually been deleted, then a reboot to a live cd | 05:48 |
| L3top | re-sure-pus: cd /sbin | 05:48 |
| tokinwhiteman | well he could use a magnet on the ha... oh well, that won't work | 05:48 |
| L3top | is cd not a command re-sure-pus? | 05:48 |

Where can I download these icons again (obviously the games are somewhat of a lost cause, but the "shipped with programs" are what I'm looking for | 05:48 |
| re-sure-pus | no but it says its not a directory | 05:49 |
| Gallomimia | very nice D3bash3r but i don't think they like to have spam in this channel. perhaps you could post it somewhere else where people from ubuntu will see? | 05:49 |
| wylde_ | Robr3rd: 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall <packagename> | 05:49 |
| tokinwhiteman | re-sure-pus what does ls /home show? | 05:49 |
| Robr3rd | wylde_ Genius! I shall try that now | 05:49 |
| re-sure-pus | "ls" is not a command | 05:50 |
| Gallomimia | wow | 05:50 |
| tokinwhiteman | yea you might be screwed | 05:50 |
| Gallomimia | do a cd of it then | 05:50 |
| Gallomimia | cd /home | 05:50 |
| wylde_ | re-sure-pus: you're in trouble dude. | 05:50 |
| re-sure-pus | it just says its not a directory | 05:50 |
| Gallomimia | cd /boot ? | 05:50 |
| tokinwhiteman | better throw it out and say a crackhead stole it | 05:51 |
| re-sure-pus | also not a directort | 05:51 |
| Gallomimia | your system is destroyed. | 05:51 |
| re-sure-pus | also not a directory | 05:51 |
| Gallomimia | all files are gone | 05:51 |
| L3top | and if it aint ext2 you aint gettin it back. | 05:51 |
| Gallomimia | everything. the os, all saved documents, music | 05:51 |
| Gallomimia | it's gone. | 05:51 |
| Gallomimia | try recovering using a live cd | 05:51 |
| tokinwhiteman | forever.... | 05:51 |
| re-sure-pus | i think its fat32 | 05:51 |
| tokinwhiteman | gone | 05:51 |
| wylde_ | re-sure-pus: sounds like reboot to a live cd and research file recovery | 05:51 |
| Gallomimia | but at this point, your next step is to put a live cd in the drive and reboot | 05:51 |
| tokinwhiteman | L3top any more ideas? | 05:51 |
| Gallomimia | your computer has no programs to run, no OS to boot, and no files to use them on | 05:52 |

| ActionParsnip | tokinwhiteman: you can always force install the deb so that the conflicting file gets overwritten | 05:54 |
| sacarlson | re-sure-pus: unplug it | 05:54 |
| L3top | not that it will work. | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | aeplus: backups are great | 05:54 |
| re-sure-pus | df isnt a command ether | 05:55 |
| L3top | re-sure-pus: to explain a bit better... the tools you would need to even try, have been deleted | 05:55 |
| aeplus | i'm a bacula person myself =) | 05:55 |
| re-sure-pus | hoe | 05:55 |
| wylde_ | re-sure-pus: try doing data recovery from a live cd distro, and in future be careful what commands you use. Also, keep proper backups of important data | 05:55 |
| re-sure-pus | how** | 05:55 |
| L3top | No telling. It happend before you got here re-sure-pus. | 05:55 |

| * cliffster reads about his apache server | 05:56 | |
| sacarlson | re-sure-pus: you might find out by looking at it with a live cd after you power of and on with a live cd/usb | 05:56 |

| L3top | re-sure-pus: your only hope is if the FS is NOT current, and you can try to do recovery from a live cd | 05:57 |
| sacarlson | re-sure-pus: then buy a new one | 05:58 |
| L3top | re-sure-pus: it is not going to load back up once it goes down. | 05:58 |

| tokinwhiteman | L3top and ActionParsnip. I used "apt-get autoremove skype and redownloaded the .deb from skype and resinstalled and it worked | 06:03 |
| L3top | Nice! | 06:03 |
| tokinwhiteman | I guess the purge didn't remove all the binary files or whatever | 06:04 |
| Gallomimia | noworldorder: can you be a bit more specific about what one folder you want them to have access to? is it full of programs? is it a few documents? | 06:04 |
| sacarlson | noworldorder: I guess you would just chmod to make all other dir unreadable to other and make this user a member of no groups that have any folders | 06:04 |
| noworldorder | Gallomimia - is is full of MP#s | 06:04 |
| noworldorder | MP3s | 06:04 |
| noworldorder | no ther folders | 06:04 |
| Gallomimia | and all programs? | 06:05 |
| Dr_Willis | noworldorder: and how is the user supposed to be accesing it? | 06:05 |
| noworldorder | remotly via ummm | 06:05 |
| Gallomimia | ssh scp sftp? | 06:05 |
| noworldorder | not putty but something like it that has a gui | 06:05 |
| noworldorder | ssh | 06:05 |
| Gallomimia | filezilla | 06:05 |
| Dr_Willis | winscp? | 06:05 |
| Dr_Willis | ssh can use any ssh client,. | 06:06 |
| Gallomimia | okay. do you want them to have shell access? | 06:06 |
| tokinwhiteman | thanks guy, good night! | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | if they are sshing in. they can basically just access their own home. so whats the issue noworldorder ? | 06:06 |
| noworldorder | it is called Data Freeware | 06:06 |
| Gallomimia | he wants them to have access to the FILES not a shell | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | noworldorder: that a windows app? | 06:06 |
| noworldorder | yes windows | 06:07 |
| wylde_ | could chroot them to a directory inside the users home? | 06:07 |
| noworldorder | the user has XP | 06:07 |
| Gallomimia | noworldorder: userad -g [somegroup] -s /dev/null -d /path/to/mp3s | 06:07 |
| Gallomimia | oops. and one more thing | 06:07 |
| Dr_Willis | there are ways to setup a 'sftp' only user | 06:07 |
| Gallomimia | add the username at the end of that | 06:07 |
| Abhijit | hi. there is no ./configure file in my gambas source code. how can i install it? | 06:07 |
| Abhijit | help pelase | 06:07 |
| Gallomimia | ./bootstrap | 06:07 |
| Gallomimia | first | 06:07 |
| noworldorder | Gallomimia - I am a newbie remember - I can do this but I need specific instructions | 06:08 |
| wylde_ | Abhijit: from the repos? Why are you compiling? | 06:08 |
| Dr_Willis | noworldorder: why does it really matter? youi are afraind the user is going to ssh in and do somthing nasty? | 06:08 |
| Gallomimia | noworldorder: that makes two of us :) this command will make a user with the group you specify, no access to shell, and access to the directory you set. and you have to put the username at the end | 06:08 |
| Gallomimia | then you'll type passwd username | 06:08 |
| Abhijit | wylde, gambas 3 is not in repo | 06:08 |
| Gallomimia | and it'll ask you to set the password for them | 06:08 |
| Gallomimia | after that, you'll have to use some chmod stuff | 06:09 |
| pandu | ActionParsnip | 06:09 |
| noworldorder | hmm | 06:09 |
| noworldorder | chmod stuff | 06:09 |
| Gallomimia | or, it's possible to host a separate ssh or ftp server with greater restrictions. refer to software manuals for doing that | 06:09 |
| Gallomimia | chmod basically everything so they can't access it | 06:09 |
| noworldorder | so to beging with... | 06:09 |
| Gallomimia | i'm a noob in this regard also... but i've heard of the trick to set the user's shell to /dev/null | 06:10 |
| wylde_ | Abhijit: there's a ppa for it on launchpad. | 06:10 |
| Gallomimia | the FIRST thing you need is the directory with mp3's in it. set your user's home dir to that | 06:10 |
| Abhijit | wylde, i dont want it | 06:10 |
| Gallomimia | then useradd with care | 06:11 |
| Gallomimia | then passwd | 06:11 |
| hekate | Hi, how do I change the default editor launched by quickly when I type `quickly edit` from gedit to something else? | 06:11 |
| sacarlson | noworldorder: I'm not sure how far you want to go but you can at least limit user not seeing other users folders with: cd /home ; chmod -R o=-rwx * | 06:11 |
| Gallomimia | then shore up any problems you have with file permissions. i'm hesitant to give you advice in this department since i don't know what taking away permissions for everyone will do | 06:11 |
| noworldorder | so I am a bit confused Gallomimia> | 06:12 |
| Gallomimia | sacarlson that's a good idea. only /home will protect things reasonably | 06:12 |
| Dr_Willis | seems a bit extrme making user just for accessing some mp3 files. | 06:12 |
| noworldorder | you said: noworldorder: userad -g [somegroup] -s /dev/null -d /path/to/mp3s | 06:12 |
| noworldorder | but where does /bootstrap fit in | 06:12 |
| Gallomimia | is there a reason you don't want to use apache to host the files instead? you can make it require a user/pass that way too | 06:12 |
| Gallomimia | oops. /bootstrap was a message to someone else, sorry | 06:13 |
| noworldorder | what is apache? | 06:13 |
| Gallomimia | disregard | 06:13 |
| Gallomimia | apache is a webserver | 06:13 |
| Gallomimia | hosts on port 80 | 06:13 |
| FloodBot1 | Gallomimia: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:13 |
| Gallomimia | SHUT UP FLOODBOT!!! | 06:13 |
| wylde_ | !caps | :P | 06:13 |
| ubottu | :P: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 06:13 |
| Robr3rd | Hello, so I was removing some unused iconsets and somehow managed to delete many default and non-default apps' icons. Reinstalling the packages has not yielded any success. How might I get these icons back? Any place/package to download them from? | 06:13 |
| Gallomimia | i wasn't shouting at you wylde :P | 06:13 |
| wylde_ | :) | 06:13 |
| noworldorder | Gallominia - this server is using pot 80 for another purpose | 06:14 |
| Dr_Willis | !rbash | 06:14 |
| noworldorder | will there be an issue using apache? | 06:14 |
| Gallomimia | then change it to anything you want | 06:14 |
| Gallomimia | do you already have a web site on that machine? | 06:14 |
| ThePirateBay_se | I'm on Natty Narwhal, and I want to install the nvidia propriarety drivers, but I don't know if I'll get the newest ones if I do it via the "additional drivers" tool, will I? | 06:14 |
| hekate | I've tried setting the default text editor for python from gEdit to Sublime Text 2 with the Open With dialog in Nautilus, but to no luck, `quickly edit` still opens it with gedit | 06:14 |
| noworldorder | it is a voip server (of sorts) | 06:14 |
| Dr_Willis | may be easier to just make a normal user and set their shell to be the restricted bash shell 'rbash' that way they cant really do anything if they ssh in directly, other then mess with the mp3 files/ | 06:15 |
| Gallomimia | hekate i think you're going to want to change an environment variable called "EDITOR" | 06:15 |
| Gallomimia | there's another good idea. | 06:15 |
| noworldorder | <Dr_Willis> hoe do i do that ? (me newbie) | 06:16 |
| ponrajuganesh | Greetings!! | 06:16 |
| ponrajuganesh | is any one using emacs here | 06:16 |
| Gallomimia | i personally would just host all the files on apache and require a login/pass | 06:16 |
| Gallomimia | i wish i'd learned emacs | 06:16 |
| Gallomimia | is your question specific to ubuntu ponrajuganesh ?? | 06:16 |
| dooglus | is it safe to run a -pae kernel on a 32 bit processor? | 06:16 |
| ponrajuganesh | is Gallomimia | 06:17 |
| noworldorder | so <Gallomimia> should google apache or is there somthing you would suggest there | 06:17 |
| Dr_Willis | noworldorder: it would be worth your time to red up on some linux basics so you are no longer anewbie. Im not even sure why you are doing all thos for just mp3 files. you would add a new user, then change tgheir shell i think the gui tools let you do it under the user management stuff. | 06:17 |
| L3top | yes dooglus. | 06:17 |
| wylde_ | hekate: 'man quickly' may also hold the answer :) | 06:17 |
| Gallomimia | noworldorder: if you want to put apache on your system it's just apt-get install apache2 | 06:17 |
| ponrajuganesh | nope not like that , just I need to see the adding the .el file inside the emacs | 06:17 |
| dooglus | L3top: sweet | 06:17 |
| lotuspsychje | any fake webcam software for ubuntu? | 06:17 |
| L3top | What is fake webcam software? | 06:18 |
| dooglus | L3top: I'm using apt-cacher-ng to avoid having everyone download their own copy of the packages - but one old laptop is still 32bit. all the rest use -pae, so want to switch the old one to it too, so avoid two different kernel package downloads | 06:18 |
| dooglus | L3top: he means like 'manycam.com' for windows - makes a virtual webcam device that you can stream movies etc. to | 06:18 |
| Gallomimia | agree with Dr_Willis for sure. noworldorder you definitely want to move toward not being a noob. best way is to sit in this channel and read what people are talking about while working on whatever you feel like working on, googling lots, and even better taking written notes | 06:19 |
| L3top | dooglus: that would be the way to do it. pae also gives you the ability to use large memory on 32 bit. | 06:19 |
| nerdistmonk | so how does one go about replacing a package thats installed with one i want to install from source | 06:19 |
| dooglus | nerdistmonk: look into 'checkinstall' | 06:19 |
| L3top | Ahh thanks for the education dooglus. | 06:19 |
| Abhijit | how to install libtoolize? | 06:19 |
| wylde_ | !checkinstall | nerdistmonk | 06:19 |
| ubottu | nerdistmonk: 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! | 06:20 |
| dooglus | L3top: and I've often wondered the same thing, but have long given up my search. people use it to overlay subtitles on their webcam streams, for example | 06:20 |
| Gallomimia | ponrajuganesh: by the way i know very little about emacs. i was going to suggest you visit the #emacs channel and see if there's anyone there who knows the answer you seek | 06:20 |
| dooglus | L3top: or to add effects - warps, colour changes, etc. maybe 'cheese' can do some of that, idk | 06:20 |
| nerdistmonk | ok, so when i run checkinstall (i got it) it will replace the old packages already in from the repo? | 06:20 |
| Dr_Willis | http://askubuntu.com/questions/134425/how-can-i-chroot-sftp-only-ssh-users-into-their-homes | 06:20 |
| lotuspsychje | dooglus:cheese cant do fake webcam i think | 06:20 |
| wylde_ | nerdistmonk: no ,it will create .debs that you can use to install | 06:21 |
| noworldorder | I am looking at the gui - maybe it has the security features I need | 06:21 |
| dooglus | nerdistmonk: it will. but maybe update-manager won't respect your new version, so you'll have to 'pin' your version | 06:21 |
| Dr_Willis | dooglus: webcamstudio (not in the repos) can also fake a webcam | 06:21 |
| Gallomimia | hey noworldorder look at that link Dr_Willis posted that's exactly what you want | 06:21 |
| nerdistmonk | webcamstudio dont work for beans on xubuntu 12.04, also thanks dooglus | 06:21 |
| dooglus | Dr_Willis: a linux program? I didn't hear of it | 06:21 |
| Dr_Willis | dooglus: its for linux, written in java. lets you do neat tricks with webcams and things tht use webcams | 06:22 |
| Dr_Willis | dooglus: like play a video and its 'sent' to the webcam | 06:22 |
| dooglus | http://www.ws4gl.org/download/installing-on-ubuntu | 06:22 |
| nerdistmonk | it dont work at all | 06:22 |
| dooglus | Dr_Willis: thanks. I'll give it a go | 06:22 |
| Dr_Willis | geese ive last used it | 06:22 |
| Dr_Willis | been ages.. | 06:22 |
| dooglus | nerdistmonk: we'll see about that! ;) | 06:22 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 06:22 |
| Gallomimia | pandu please don't randomly pm people in this channel. that's quite rude | 06:24 |
| dooglus | /msg Gallomimia what are you wearing? | 06:24 |
| Gallomimia | hehe | 06:24 |
| pandu | I didn't do it --" | 06:25 |
| Gallomimia | anyway, going to have a short convo with this guy | 06:25 |

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 06:25 |
| pandu | what's the meaning of pm ? | 06:26 |
| pandu | --" | 06:26 |
| dooglus | I tried installing webcamstudio, but it doesn't like my java7 jre, insists on java6, and "Need to get 86.2 MB of archives." | 06:27 |
| dooglus | I don't have 86.2 MB of bandwidth for the month left... | 06:27 |
| dooglus | pandu: "private massage" | 06:27 |
| L3top | <pandu> hiii :D <=---------- that | 06:28 |
| dooglus | I was wondering earlier if there's a more efficient way of checking for updates than redownloading the whole 25MB Packages file every time | 06:28 |
| pandu | whats wrong with that ? -_________________-" | 06:29 |
| dooglus | I remember when I used debian it used to just download daily 'pdiff' files - the differences in the package file since the previous day | 06:29 |

| ubottu | 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! | 06:30 |
| pandu | I do -________-" | 06:31 |
| wylde_ | pandu: do you have an ubuntu support question? If not, general chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:32 |
| pratz | hey guys any one successfully installed vlc2.0 on ubuntu 10.04 ? | 06:32 |
| ThePirateBay_se | Does Flash on YouTube on x64 Ubuntu always suck ass? | 06:33 |
| L3top | Yes pratz... but I am not fond of it. It got bloated and buggy... and... I prefer the older versions. | 06:33 |
| traianow | hi all … I have a question relating to xorg, gdm and xdm running on an ubuntu server, with a sun ilom console: | 06:34 |
| Viking667 | what's "sun ilom" mean? | 06:34 |
| L3top | ThePirateBay_se: yes. And watch the language. flash on linux is just bad in general, but esp on 64 | 06:34 |
| traianow | basically, i'd like to have gdm over the sun ilom console when I connect to the server | 06:34 |
| ThePirateBay_se | L3top; Yay! Also, I'm not going to watch my language.. | 06:35 |
| traianow | "sun ilom" = sun integrated lights out manager … like dell drac, or hp ilo ? | 06:35 |
| nerdistmonk | dooglas all checkinstall did was make a mess, maybe i should rephrase my question, im trying to install pulseaudio from git.... | 06:35 |
| traianow | it's a remote kvm over ip like technology | 06:35 |
| L3top | ThePirateBay_se: Then you will get kicked in short order. Do you have a support question? | 06:35 |
| ThePirateBay_se | L3top; No. | 06:35 |
| Dr_Willis | youtube supports html5 for maany videos now | 06:35 |
| Viking667 | webm? | 06:35 |
| Dr_Willis | yepps | 06:36 |
| ThePirateBay_se | Yay.. Because we all know that HTML5 player is oh so good.. | 06:36 |
| Dr_Willis | not all. but a large number of them | 06:36 |
| Viking667 | I normally grab videos with youtube-dl, and play them using mplayer. | 06:36 |
| L3top | ThePirateBay_se: This is not a chatroom. If you want to chitchat/complain then go to #ubuntu-offtopic... but the same guidelines apply there. | 06:37 |
| traianow | well basically: when I try to start GDM I get: "ubuntu is running in low resolution mode … device driver and settings for monitor could not be determined" | 06:37 |
| ThePirateBay_se | L3top; Whatever. | 06:37 |
| traianow | but when I make xdm the default display manager, it works fine | 06:37 |
| L3top | what is the GPU on the server traianow | 06:37 |
| Dr_Willis | traianow: that is odd. | 06:37 |
| Dr_Willis | traianow: so the desktop is the proper res even if it says its in low res mode? | 06:38 |
| traianow | L3top : I'm not sure, but basically , hee there is no monitor, it's SUN server and the ILOM/ILO/DRAC controller is providing "headless" remote console redirection | 06:38 |
| traianow | kind of like KVMoIP | 06:38 |
| traianow | Dr_Willis : yes | 06:38 |
| pandu | this is LOL :P | 06:39 |
| traianow | GDM can't pick it up and crashes, but XDM runs fine | 06:39 |
| nerdistmonk | how would i go about about install pulseaudio from source? i got it compiled and ready | 06:39 |
| traianow | so I'm wondering why XDM can determine the right graphics/device settings from Xorg but GDM can't ? | 06:39 |
| Dr_Willis | traianow: theres otrhe *dms out.. but im not sure why yiou need a DM at all.. guess for the remote desltops sessions. :) | 06:39 |
| wylde_ | nerdistmonk: sudo make install | 06:40 |
| Dr_Willis | traianow: id guess xdm isent even looking.. its a gdm failsafe featgure thats kicking in. | 06:40 |
| nerdistmonk | that isnt going to replace all those debs from the repo..... | 06:40 |
| traianow | Dr_Willis : yes, for remote management, and the remote management utilisites have to be run in a full desktop environment, GDM , sadly | 06:40 |
| nerdistmonk | sounds like it will make a mess | 06:40 |
| virtx | hi | 06:40 |
| Dr_Willis | gdm is just the login manager not the desktopo. | 06:40 |
| noworldorder | Dr_Willis - you are correct - I need to learn linux - but in the mean time ... are you willing to spell out your suggestion for my file permission issue? | 06:41 |
| virtx | what can i see if in alsamixer the volume is ok, but the audio that i listen is only on line-out and not the speaker? | 06:41 |
| Dr_Willis | noworldorder: im on my android phoen. at worek.. so i dont have the luxery to spoonfead you stuff thats written up in various docs. | 06:41 |
| pandu | who can install cicilalang on ubuntu ? | 06:42 |
| noworldorder | harsh | 06:42 |
| noworldorder | okay | 06:42 |
| nerdistmonk | sudo chown username:username /path/folder will grant ownership | 06:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !permissions | 06:42 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 06:42 |
| traianow | Dr_Willis : understood. Now the question would be : "Why can I get a fully functional desktop when accessing the desktop via XDM, butnot with GDM ?" | 06:42 |
| traianow | that's what I need to pin down | 06:42 |
| pandu | anyone ? | 06:43 |
| noworldorder | thx ubotto | 06:43 |
| Dr_Willis | traianow: what desktop is it using? | 06:43 |
| traianow | GNOME | 06:43 |
| kanupatar | how can I read the encoded data from CD using dd ? I have used the dd like this "dd if =/dev/cdrom of=<my path to destination iso>" bs=64k , But I am getting the decoded data.means no sync headers or any sector headers in the cd. | 06:43 |
| Dr_Willis | which gnome.. what vrsion of ubuntu also | 06:43 |
| Dr_Willis | kanupatar: a music cd? | 06:44 |
| pandu | whooo can install cicilalang on ubuntu ? | 06:44 |
| L3top | pandu: what don't you get? This is not a place to play around? Why do people enjoy being banned? | 06:44 |
| kanupatar | Dr_Willis: any cd | 06:44 |
| traianow | Dr_Willis : Ubuntu 11.04 … GNOME version default …. but let me get back to you with the GNOME version | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | traianow: so not gnome3 then | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | kanupatar: data cds are differnt then music cds i belive | 06:44 |
| Borillion | Can anyone tell me why I see ttyUSB[0-3] when I plug in my modem? | 06:45 |
| pandu | i'm serious -______-" | 06:45 |
| pandu | who? | 06:45 |
| kanupatar | Dr_Willis: yeahh...data cd's are mode 2/3 and audio are mode 0 (cdda) | 06:45 |
| ThePirateBay_se | L3top; I have a question now. I have Natty and want to install the nvidia proprietary drivers, but I don't know if I'll have the latest if I use the Additional Drivers tool. | 06:45 |
| kanupatar | Dr_Willis: I need to read the header of any cd | 06:45 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont recall ever using dd to image a music cd. just data cds. | 06:46 |
| Borillion | dd works on all cd's | 06:46 |
| L3top | ThePirateBay_se: you will not get access to the most recent. I am not sure you need them though... newest isnt always best... what is the output of lspci -nn | grep 'VGA' | 06:46 |
| Borillion | you can even do dual layer ones works fine | 06:46 |
| kanupatar | Dr_Willis: any how, I need to get the encoded data from cd using dd..dont allow the cd mechanism to decode the data | 06:46 |
| Borillion | I mean dvd | 06:46 |
| pandu | somebodyy ? -____-" | 06:47 |
| Borillion | kanupatar what are you trying to do? | 06:47 |
| Dr_Willis | kanupatar: 'encoded datga' ? why would a data cd be encoded | 06:47 |
| traianow | Dr_Willis : definitely not Gnome3 | 06:47 |
| ThePirateBay_se | L3top; I'm not at it at the moment, I booted into Windows in the meantime. What would that output generally? | 06:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Borillion: ive seen video 'dvds' that dd cant read. ;( or at least has a hard time imageing. | 06:47 |
| pandu | bangkit :D | 06:47 |
| L3top | ThePirateBay_se: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C77 [GeForce 8200] [10de:0849] (rev a2) in my case. | 06:48 |
| Borillion | Dr_Willis interesting, have not run across that one yet | 06:48 |
| aargh | hi, anyone happen to know how to change the loading screen text in a minimal ubuntu install? it says "Ubuntu 12.04" currently, i'd like to change it something else | 06:48 |
| ThePirateBay_se | L3top; Oh, the um GPU? It's 8400GS. | 06:48 |
| L3top | the 0849 is what I am looking for to tell you the best driver for your chipset | 06:48 |
| Dr_Willis | traianow: you could check askubuntu.com about how to disab le the low-res check. | 06:48 |
| L3top | the 0849 (in my case) is the PCIID. | 06:49 |
| malakeye | hey, im having trouble getting gnome volume & sound settings to work, but alsamixer (terminal) works fine. | 06:49 |
| Dr_Willis | traianow: that may be the easiest fix. | 06:49 |
| kanupatar | Borillion: I need to replace the cd mechanism decoder by software...and now the hardware is not yet ready for testing..so i need to get a dump of the cd to test my decoder code | 06:49 |
| L3top | However, nvidia-current in natty will be dandy. | 06:49 |
| Guest97734 | ha? | 06:49 |
| kanupatar | Borillion: see my ans | 06:49 |
| === Guest97734 is now known as LeelooGirl | ||
| traianow | Dr_Willis : thanks , let me take that route …. will feedback later | 06:49 |
| ThePirateBay_se | L3top; What if I use the um.. The latest .run installer from their site? I think that's the extension.. | 06:49 |
| L3top | ThePirateBay_se: There is a regression in the 295 driver... it is better with the .53, but you are frankly better off with what is in your repo | 06:49 |
| ThePirateBay_se | L3top; I just have this feeling that newest is always better when it comes to Nvidia.. Dunno why. | 06:52 |
| malakeye | having trouble getting gnome volume & sound settings to work, but alsamixer (terminal) works fine - any suggestions? | 06:52 |
| blinkiz | Hello. What channel to ask for if question is about advanced dhclient.conf question? | 06:52 |
| blinkiz | Do it exist channel for dhcpd? | 06:52 |
| L3top | Like I said... newest isn't really synonymous with best. In the effort new chipsets, they sometimes gum up the works for older ones. The best imo for that guy was the 260... but... that was just a rock solid iteration. | 06:52 |
| Gallomimia | uh.... there's a channel for bind isn't there? i would visit a channel for the isc | 06:53 |
| Gallomimia | try #isc ?? | 06:53 |
| terminhell | ello ello | 06:53 |
| LeelooGirl | I dont know/ | 06:53 |
| LeelooGirl | isc? | 06:53 |
| ThePirateBay_se | L3top; So, should I just go with nvidia-current for natty? | 06:53 |
| L3top | malakeye: you can right click the volume icon, and select master channel I believe. | 06:54 |
| Borillion | is there an appropriate place for ubuntu/linux drivers thats more specific than here? | 06:54 |
| terminhell | Borillion: check the arch wiki? | 06:54 |
| L3top | ThePirateBay_se: I would apt-cache policy nvidia-current | grep Candidate and apt-cache policy nividia-current-updates | grep Candidate | 06:55 |
| ThePirateBay_se | L3top; What would that do? Can you just copy it in paste.ubuntu.com? | 06:55 |
| L3top | malakeye: it is possible that it is tied to HDMI or something silly... | 06:55 |
| malakeye | L3top: using 12.04 - right click brings up volume, rhythmbox and sound settings - dead end | 06:55 |
| L3top | you can put them here, they are one liners | 06:55 |
| malakeye | L3top: perhaps, i have hda-intel and hdmi input although not using it atm | 06:56 |
| L3top | malakeye: truth be told I use KDE... somewhere in your system settings there will be a way to assign the channel being controlled | 06:56 |
| terminhell | i know on my laptop i have to switch to hdmi+digital audio 'device' when i want to use hdmi | 06:56 |
| malakeye | i remember having to update grub settings with radeon.hdmi=1 or something similar. will look into that.. | 06:57 |
| L3top | ThePirateBay_se: It will tell us the versions avail for both, and I can tell you which I would use. | 06:57 |
| malakeye | .. in 11.10 | 06:57 |
| L3top | malakeye: are you outputting on HDMI? Because there IS no volume control for that. | 06:58 |
| virtx | what can i see if in alsamixer the volume is ok, but the audio that i listen is only on line-out and not the speaker? | 06:58 |
| L3top | it is either on, or off | 06:58 |
| ThePirateBay_se | L3top; I'll boot into it in like 10-15 minutes and you can diagnose it I guess. | 06:58 |
| lotuspsychje | webcamstudio cant start because java sun folder doesnt exist..what to do? | 06:58 |
| L3top | No worries ThePirateBay_se. I will be here a while. | 06:58 |
| gaymish | hey guys, I have a slight problem with apache I was hoping you might understand. I want apache to respond to hostname in the Virtual Host only, not IP. I have set that but I think that the DNS is rewriting the address to an IP so Apache wont respond. Does anyone know the solution? I know its not a strictly ubuntu section but didnt know where to go. | 06:58 |
| gaymish | I think that dns cloaking might be what I am looking for? | 06:59 |

| malakeye | installing gnome-alsamixer | 07:01 |
| Gallomimia | gaymish: i think you need to remove any server directives from outside the virtual host in your conf. the mechanism works when the client sends the hostname it's looking for | 07:01 |

| gaymish | Gallomimia: what do you mean by other server directives. It works when I have it respond to the IP as well as the domain names making me think that it is a DNS issue. The other thing is that the machine is behind a firewall so it is possible they may rewrite headers for the NAT. | 07:04 |
| traianow | Dr_Willis : question about XDM : | 07:04 |
| traianow | GDM can show a list of users in the login window | 07:04 |
| traianow | bu can XDM do the same ? | 07:05 |
| traianow | Google doesn't turn up andy results for that … and I can't find any obvious options in the XDM config files ... | 07:05 |
| aeplus | gaymish, are you sure you used the NameVirtualHost directive correctly?? | 07:05 |
| Gallomimia | gaymish there is nothing to do with NAT, headers, packets, firewalls, or DNS. the client sends the request to ip xx.xx.xx.xx and tells that server that it's looking for somedomain.com that is all | 07:05 |
| rob82_pcrs | ... | 07:05 |
| aeplus | i agree with Gallomimia, the http protocol will include a line that says "Host: xx.yy.zz" which is used to determine the virtual host | 07:06 |
| Gallomimia | it's been so long since i played with apache configs. so long in fact that apache2 was still in beta and everyone said "no you should use apache 1.4" | 07:06 |
| gaymish | aeplus, Gallomimia: I'll have a look at the directives now. Thanks for your help, Apache is such a headache... | 07:07 |
| aeplus | been deploying it for years, i still remember how long it took me the first time around | 07:07 |
| Gallomimia | yes it's a bit of an odd one. your other option would be to have it direct to a DIFFERENT website when no matching virtual hosts are found | 07:07 |

| strk | this is a laptop, so the monitor is an external one | 07:11 |
| gaymish | aeplus: the problem is knowing all the damn directives. I assume that i need to set NameVirtualHost to the url's that it should respond to? | 07:11 |
| gaymish | aeplus: Can it have multiple NameVirtualHost directives? | 07:11 |
| PyroBlastGuest | Anyone? | 07:12 |
| === codeshepherd_ is now known as codeshepherd | ||
| aeplus | you set NameVirtualHost to the socket, such as NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.1:80, then you create VirtualHost entries with ServerName directives... <VirtualHost 192..:80>ServerName mydomain.com</..> | 07:12 |

| tevs_kapoaN | meteohr: when you go to System Settings > Sound, which device is selected under Output? | 08:03 |
| wdp | Brainwright, apt-cache search linux-image | grep pae <- will list pae kernels. apt-get install linux-image....-pae will install one of them. | 08:04 |
| meteohr | dummy-output, wait i can post a screenshot | 08:04 |
| rob82_pcrs | if you have the -pae on the processor | 08:04 |
| tevs_kapoaN | meteohr: no reason at all, I asked that because I have windows and I have sound problems when I use Windows and log on to Linux afterwards. | 08:04 |
| Brainwright | Got it, thanks. | 08:04 |
| wdp | Brainwright, and check if grep "pae" /proc/cpuinfo produces output | 08:04 |

| Dr_Willis | tevs_kapoaN: ive had some older weird hardware that would not work right if i booted to windows then 'rebooted' to linux. but if i powereed down. then booted straight to linux. it would work.. the Devices mustg have had some odd Plug and Play quirks | 08:05 |
| Brainwright | I can't. I'm a fresh user, and I don't have an Ubuntu system up and running. | 08:05 |
| wdp | Brainwright, that'll work in any linux. | 08:05 |
| rob82_pcrs | Dr_willis ''same'' | 08:06 |
| satya-ktree | Is it possible to create a ftp user with access to multiple directories? | 08:06 |
| rob82_pcrs | linux just seems to work like a charm | 08:06 |
| Brainwright | Well, I don't have any Linux system up and running, which is why I was doing this in the first place. I know, it's painful how hard I'm trying. | 08:06 |
| Dr_Willis | i cant evven rember what the devices were.. or how i figured out that trick. It may have been an old ceative sound card | 08:06 |
| tevs_kapoaN | Dr_Willis: I think I had the same thing. After I use Windows, there will be no sound on Ubuntu, until I play something, like Youtube and suspend my computer. After waking up it would work. | 08:06 |
| noworldorder | I have been trying to figure out how to grant a user access to only one folder. I think I am close.

| sadasdasdas | Does Ubuntu support brtfs fairly well? I just downloaded the updates and I think it's been like 40 minutes and it's still installing them on brtfs. | 08:15 |
| schnuffle1 | gits1225: you can try to set a symlink if the version you have installed is compatibel | 08:15 |

| rob82_pcrs | about before that -pae , is in the same category as -cmov, | 08:16 |
| sadasdasdas | Or does it usually take that long? | 08:17 |
| tevs_kapoaN | Yeah, now I'm going through it as well. I see it's a better idea not to try to install OSS | 08:17 |

| schnuffle1 | gits1225: I would create a symlink from the libpng12 to the version you need and try if it works | 08:21 |
| tevs_kapoaN | meteohr: you should type it without the $ sign. Just type cat /rpoc/asound/cards | 08:21 |
| gits1225 | schnuffle1: kk | 08:21 |
| tevs_kapoaN | $ is only symbolizing beginning of a command. | 08:21 |

| meteohr | ok | 08:31 |
| rob82_pcrs | or better get nmap | 08:31 |

| rob82_pcrs | at command line | 08:31 |

| rob82_pcrs | ii mentioned that | 08:33 |
| rob82_pcrs | nmaps better | 08:33 |
| rob82_pcrs | shows more verbosely | 08:33 |
| ezbbunk | nmap is excessive | 08:33 |

| vidyut | rob82_pcrs: and how to start and stop an apps running on a port? | 08:33 |
| rob82_pcrs | ii use nmap in my sleep | 08:34 |
| tenX | ezbbunk: cause it doesnt show firewall impact | 08:34 |

| rob82_pcrs | butt you need to know what app to port | 08:34 |
| bairui | awesome... fixed it. i thought i'd tried the paprefs, Network access path but i was obviously not holding the sacred blade to the sacrificial lamb's throat in quite the right way. bairui happy again. \o/ | 08:34 |
| ezbbunk | tenX: neither does nmap actually -- assuming that we're scanning lo and lo is on quick pass | 08:35 |
| mbutubuntu | hey guys, I'd like to know why ffmpeg -i /path/to/videoFile.mp4 | grep foo doesn't grep anythink but prints out all the ffmpeg output... o.0 | 08:35 |
| mbutubuntu | do you know why? | 08:35 |
| vidyut | ok thanks Dr_Willis rob82_pcrs | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | mbutubuntu: perhaps its printing to stderr instead of stdout | 08:35 |
| rob82_pcrs | for ports use : nmap -v -A (target address) P.S. i dont like smart aliks | 08:35 |
| ezbbunk | mbutubuntu: try 2>&1 | 08:36 |
| mbutubuntu | Dr_Willis, mmh, maybe | 08:36 |
| tenX | ezbbunk: my idea was to scan externally but you could always restrict access on lo via iptables | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | no idea why it would be using stedrr | 08:36 |
| ezbbunk | tenX: ja, as I said, I was assuming lo was on quick pass | 08:36 |
| rob82_pcrs | why externally not all ports a re forwarded u wont get shit on the scan | 08:36 |
| mbutubuntu | Dr_Willis, ezbbunk you're right... it prints to STDERR | 08:36 |
| rob82_pcrs | you scan internally | 08:36 |
| mbutubuntu | why?! | 08:37 |
| rob82_pcrs | t.. | 08:37 |
| solid91 | hi everibody, my system is frequently crashing, how can i find what's wrong with it? | 08:37 |
| rob82_pcrs | why externally not all ports a re forwarded u wont get shit on the scan | 08:37 |
| ezbbunk | rob82_pcrs: that is assuming that all listeners are bound to lo or IN{6,}ADDR_ANY | 08:37 |
| rob82_pcrs | that is correct | 08:37 |
| tenX | ezbbunk: depends on the setup. externally was basically about scanning from another system, maybe within the same subnet | 08:37 |
| schnuffle1 | solid91: check the syslog file in /var/log for errors | 08:37 |
| rob82_pcrs | that is correct | 08:37 |
| rob82_pcrs | that sound good to | 08:37 |
| sddhrthrt | solid91: try to read the logs | 08:37 |
| ezbbunk | tenX: ja - but imho, to just find which services are listening on which interface / node / file | 08:37 |
| meteohr | hi | 08:38 |
| tenX | ezbbunk: use both :) | 08:38 |
| rob82_pcrs | is their a Event Viewer app on linuz or similar | 08:38 |
| meteohr | cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xf0500000 irq 45 | 08:38 |
| sddhrthrt | solid91: pastebin the logs during oand just before the crashess - that might help. | 08:38 |
| meteohr | so i remember that this worked for some time | 08:38 |
| rob82_pcrs | iif theres crashes try dpkg reboot and go into recovery mode | 08:38 |
| solid91 | @sddhrthrt where can i paste the log? | 08:39 |
| tevs_kapoaN | meteohr: but you still have dummy-ausgabe in your Sound Settings? | 08:39 |
| meteohr | yes | 08:39 |

| meteohr | maybe my soundcard ist just broken :/ | 08:40 |
| rurufufuss | Hi, I've been having erratic scroll wheel problem, and it doesn't seem to be the mice, has there been problems like this previously reported? | 08:40 |
| tenX | ezbbunk: and if you nmap locally to the systems device and dont allow lo access generally you should get the same results as from external | 08:40 |
| rurufufuss | on 10.04 here | 08:40 |
| rob82_pcrs | possibly but if it works on linuz, its definetly windows issues | 08:40 |
| tevs_kapoaN | meteohr: have you looked at other replies in that thread? | 08:40 |
| rob82_pcrs | provided you a port forwarding all 65000 ports | 08:41 |
| tevs_kapoaN | Some people report their own solutions, like this | 08:41 |
| tevs_kapoaN | I followed all your steps and my card shows up when running cat /proc/asound/cards, but I still had a dummy output in the gnome sound preferences. But after editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and adding options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1 model=asus-v1s it finally worked!!! Thanks so much! | 08:41 |
| tevs_kapoaN | Of course, pay attention that he's writing about ASUS, not Samsung. | 08:41 |

| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK).

| yharrow | tol no because selecting the lifechat channel selects the HDMI | 09:04 |
| yharrow | its a bugged entry | 09:04 |
| nicekiwi | tenX: it appears to be, the game insent accepting navagation from my mouse, but i can shoot, run move and kill ppl quite smoothly! xD so i guess it is. Its never been this good before Nouveau went stable | 09:04 |
| tenX | nicekiwi: what card is that? | 09:04 |
| yharrow | it has the lifechat name but activates HDMI | 09:04 |
| nicekiwi | tenX: 9600GT 1GB DDR3, released in 2008. | 09:04 |

| yharrow | i have no idea | 09:05 |
| nicekiwi | tenX: yeah :P | 09:05 |

| ikonia | klops: I've done bits and bobs in the past, but it's normally an issue with an ati video card module or a broadcom network card module, so I rarley bother going beyond that | 09:52 |

| andybrine | hey everyone | 09:53 |
| ikonia | SajjaD: which PPA's and 3rd party repos do you have enabled | 09:53 |
| klops | yeah its an old laptop with a radeon graphics card in it... its using the open source radeon drivers... am lost where to start looking since its been 2-3 years since i used linux regularly... | 09:53 |
| SajjaD | many | 09:53 |
| provat | hi | 09:54 |
| andybrine | does anyone know how to install intel integrated video drivers on ubuntu 12.04? | 09:54 |
| SajjaD | ikonia: many | 09:54 |
| andybrine | just skrewed up my graphics drivers | 09:54 |
| ikonia | SajjaD: ok, well, it's clear without checking further that they are causing the conflict, you need to work out which repos are causing the conflict, remove the conflicting software and dependencies and then move forward | 09:54 |
| ikonia | klops: sorry to be negative but it will go no-where, suspend has knonw issues with the ati cards..... | 09:54 |
| SajjaD | ikonia: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1042158/ | 09:55 |
| ikonia | klops: hence why I said earlier, I never bother going beyond that because it is just a fact that won't change at this time | 09:55 |
| klops | kk | 09:55 |
| klops | ty :) | 09:55 |
| binni | can I base my ubuntu-app-showdown entry on old code by me? | 09:55 |
| ikonia | SajjaD: that's a lot, and a lot of bad ones | 09:55 |
| ikonia | SajjaD: do you need all of those ? | 09:55 |
| SajjaD | ikonia: maybe | 09:56 |
| sacarlson | savr: but that apears to require going through a hylafax server so it's just as insecure as the website I originaly gave you | 09:56 |
| savr | ok | 09:56 |
| ikonia | SajjaD: you need to work out what you actually want and need, if you need all of them then you are going to have to learn how to check for dependency conflicts and learn how to manage them | 09:56 |
| savr | sacarlson, I can't load callwaver in china for some reason | 09:57 |

| zivedo | nvidia drivers for intel integrated? puhh | 10:01 |
| ikonia | savr: enough please. | 10:01 |
| rob82__pcrs | who cares what use, | 10:01 |
| ikonia | rob82__pcrs: stop now | 10:01 |
| rob82__pcrs | Why did you though | 10:01 |
| ikonia | rob82__pcrs: if you join #ubuntu-ops, I'll explain to you | 10:01 |
| SkippersBoss | andybrine: what is the error message you are getting | 10:02 |
| rob82__pcrs | forget about it | 10:02 |
| rob82__pcrs | kk. | 10:02 |
| belgianguy | so I can't boot into any 3.x anymore | 10:02 |
| SajjaD | ikonia: what should i do now? | 10:02 |
| ikonia | SajjaD: exactly what I said | 10:02 |
| belgianguy | but GRUB allowed me to boot into a previous version | 10:02 |
| belgianguy | how do I best move forward to repair the 3.x version? | 10:02 |
| ikonia | belgianguy: explain your problem | 10:02 |
| SajjaD | ikonia: but how? | 10:02 |
| belgianguy | I did some updates, and it caused lightdm to crash on reboot | 10:03 |
| andybrine | SkippersBoss, there is no specific error. It just stoped the 3d graphics working and gone back to 2d | 10:03 |
| belgianguy | eg, no gfx anymore, got dropped to console | 10:03 |
| ikonia | SajjaD: well, the first step is working out which of those PPA's you actually need | 10:03 |
| rob82__pcrs | repair boot now (grub) | 10:03 |
| andybrine | and old style menus :s | 10:03 |
| ikonia | rob82__pcrs: stop - that advice is not applicable to SajjaD's issue | 10:03 |
| andybrine | i will do a quick reboot and be back | 10:03 |
| belgianguy | so now I found a way back in so to say, through GRUB > Previous versions > 2.6.x | 10:03 |
| SajjaD | ikonia: how can i disable ppa's that make problems? | 10:03 |
| rob82__pcrs | He cant boot anymore into them | 10:04 |
| ikonia | SajjaD: you can't, that's why I said you need to work out which ones you actually need, then remove the software of the ones you don't need AND all theid dependencies | 10:04 |
| rob82__pcrs | didn u read | 10:04 |
| SkippersBoss | andynrine: well sudo apt-get purge <nvidia-drivers package> in terminal should in theory remove a previously installed package | 10:04 |
| ikonia | belgianguy: when you boot, do you get the grub menu ? | 10:04 |
| belgianguy | ikonia: yes | 10:05 |
| ikonia | belgianguy: what are the options ? | 10:05 |
| belgianguy | 3.2.25 (IIRC) and the 3.2.25 recovery mode, the "Previous Options", memcheck and Windows 7 | 10:05 |
| ikonia | belgianguy: so you don't have a menu item for a previous kernel in there ? | 10:06 |
| k1l | belgianguy: did you install the grafix driver manually? | 10:06 |
| === Randy is now known as Guest17529 | ||

| k1l | belgianguy: if you do it manually you have to repeat it for every new kernel | 10:07 |

| Lewandowski__ | How do I change the the last acces and modification for file with touch ? | 10:33 |
| dontknow | pioneer, one of them "~/downloads/filename" other ones is "file://~/downloads/filename" two of them same file, every files indexed that way in gnome do | 10:33 |

| dontknow | pioneer, are you there? | 10:34 |
| devxdev | touch filename | 10:35 |
| Lewandowski__ | How do I change the the last acces and modification for a file with the touch command? | 10:35 |
| Lewandowski__ | dev can you tell me the whole command? | 10:35 |
| bvad | Lewandowski__, using touch -t MYFILE | 10:35 |
| Lewandowski__ | devxdev, | 10:35 |
| bvad | -t followed by the stamp | 10:35 |
| Lewandowski__ | bvad, and that change the acces and the modification of the file | 10:36 |
| Lewandowski__ | ? | 10:36 |
| devxdev | !touch | Lewandowski__ | 10:36 |
| devxdev | >_> | 10:36 |
| Lewandowski__ | And how do I change modification and acces for separated ? | 10:36 |
| Lewandowski__ | for example acces- june modification september | 10:37 |
| bvad | Lewandowski__, if you want to change the access and modification to NOW, you can use just "touch MYFILE" | 10:37 |
| bvad | Try running "man touch", there are some different flags you can try | 10:37 |
| Lewandowski__ | I want to change them but for diferent dates for example acces june and modification september | 10:38 |
| bvad | You'd have to use -t first, to change both, then -a to change the access time. So you set both to september, then afterwards you set access to june with -a | 10:38 |

| bvad | Gnome is a bit odd when it comes to the indicator applets | 10:42 |
| meet | does this site now work in chrome? | 10:42 |
| bvad | It should | 10:42 |
| bvad | https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/112/remove-accesibility/ this is it | 10:43 |
| ezoe | say, why does this channel kick people who was just idle at that time? | 10:43 |
| meet | bvad: btw the other extensions which i had installed through this site earlier in 11.10 are now all showing an outdate icon before them.. what does that mean? | 10:44 |
| bvad | The extensions are not compatible with the new unity used in 12.04\ | 10:44 |
| bvad | i mean gnome :) | 10:45 |
| bvad | Gnome 3.4 | 10:45 |
| bvad | 11.10 had 3.2 in the repos afaik | 10:45 |

| belgianguy | but I don't know how to reinstall fglrx with all its dependencies | 10:57 |
| sipior | burg_: the -p switch to netstat will show you the offending pids | 10:57 |
| bvad | belgianguy: have you tried "apt-get install fglrx-updates" ? | 10:57 |
| belgianguy | bvad, I was running a manual driver installation it seems | 10:58 |
| belgianguy | and that update is queued | 10:58 |
| belgianguy | but I don't dare to install it, as I fear it'll break more | 10:58 |
| bvad | It shouldn't really break anything, if you're already stuck in recovery :) Does the opensource driver work for your system? You can try it as a temp. solution to boot normally | 10:59 |
| belgianguy | bvad: I tried to revert to the open source driver, and I think that succeeded | 11:00 |
| bvad | blegianguy: Okay, are you able to get into X? | 11:00 |
| belgianguy | bvad, after recovery I picked 'resume' | 11:00 |
| belgianguy | will that still be recovery, or just 'regular'? | 11:01 |
| belgianguy | as now the fglrx driver is highlighted in the "additional drivers" dialog | 11:01 |
| bvad | belgianguy: You picked recovery in grub? If I were you, I'd reboot and try booting normally now | 11:02 |

| Sonderblade | Where in kde is the configuration for which directories a user is sharing through samba? | 11:11 |
| sipior | nicekiwi: 100MB is usually plenty. | 11:11 |
| nicekiwi | sipior: yeah i thought so too, but its like 2 days since i installed ubuntu and its already used 84MB out of 94MB :/ ???? | 11:11 |
| sipior | nicekiwi: and the culprit is? | 11:12 |
| klops | 100mb used to be about 2-3 kernel images... | 11:12 |
| bvad | On a side note, is it really necessary to have a separate boot partition? | 11:13 |
| nicekiwi | sipior: i dont know, how do I find out? | 11:13 |
| sipior | klops: more like twenty. | 11:13 |
| ejo | bvad: can make integrity scans after accidental shutdown much faster | 11:13 |
| nicekiwi | sipior: disk space analyzer? | 11:13 |
| sipior | nicekiwi: "ls -l" | 11:13 |
| klops | du -h /boot ? | 11:13 |
| ejo | bvad: also potentially you can recover from breaking your boot partition without losing other partitions, of course | 11:13 |
| bvad | ejo: Thanks :) I'm not using one on my SSD, since, well, it's not too big | 11:13 |
| ndlovu | does anyone know of issues that could arise if I use both shotwell and digiKam for managing my photos? | 11:14 |

| hapster | Hello. I just bought an asus k55v laptop with nvidia 610m and ivy bridge processor. How can I set nouveau to read the nvidia gpu instead of the intel gpu? Ubuntu's details shows its using the intel gpu. lscpi | grep VGA shows both nvidia and intel. | 11:26 |
| bvad | hariom: Does audio not work at all? System wise | 11:27 |
| adamk | hapster: If this is a laptop with Optimus (which is what it sounds like) you can only use the nvidia GPU with the nvidia driver, and only with bumblebee. | 11:27 |
| bvad | system wide* | 11:27 |
| MonkeyDust | nicekiwi good thing you're familiar with the CLI :) | 11:27 |
| hapster | adamk: It has no optimus. | 11:28 |
| adamk | hapster: Then disable the intel GPU in the BIOS | 11:28 |
| hapster | adamk: I've dealt with optimus laptops before. I'm sure this one doesn't have | 11:28 |
| nicekiwi | MonkeyDust: :D slowly learning :) good times! cheers | 11:29 |
| hapster | adamk: Ok. Will try that out. Thanks. brb. | 11:29 |

| hapster | admak_: But I want to use nouveau | 11:39 |
| bvad | hariom: try "aplay -D plughw:0,0 (SOUNDFILE)" | 11:39 |

| Dr_Willis | your own pa system | 11:44 |

| bvad | dontknow: Hmm, let me try figuring something out then | 11:45 |
| dzup1 | hariom: idk | 11:46 |
| bvad | hariom: Your default device must be set wrong then, sec | 11:46 |
| adamk_ | hapster, I'd love to see the Xorg log file from when you were using the nvidia driver. | 11:46 |

| dzup1 | hariom: one terminal run arecord|aplay other terminal run alsamixer tweek alsamixer into you hear something | 11:48 |
| hapster | adamk_: This is the dmesg file: http://pastebin.com/WctWPbdm And this is the Xorg log: http://pastebin.com/vZUBSfaV | 11:50 |
| bvad | hariom: The issue at it's core is that the default device is set wrong. You can change the default device in ~/.asoundrc, if you like I can show you how | 11:50 |
| hariom | dzup1, doesn't works that way | 11:50 |
| * dzup1 hides | 11:51 | |
| adamk_ | hapster, That Xorg log file shows Xorg using the intel drive, not the nvidia driver. | 11:51 |
| bvad | hariom: Do you really need aplay to work without the need for -D ? Ubuntu uses pulseaudio, which should do all this stuff for you | 11:51 |
| hariom | bvad: Should I install pulseaudio and uninstall alsa? | 11:51 |
| hapster | adamk_: That's my problem. I'm chatting in the nouveau channel as well. I want it to read the nvidia 610m. | 11:52 |
| hapster | adamk_: According to them, my chips are relatively new so it doesn't support 3D acceleration yet. | 11:52 |
| bvad | hariom: Do you have a default ubuntu 12.04 installation? Pulseaudio is an audio server, which uses alsa or something else as it's backend afaik | 11:52 |
| adamk_ | hapster, Again, I believe this is a laptop with Optimus. You said it wasn't because it worked fine with the nvidia driver without bumblebee. But you have yet to show it working with the nvidia driver. | 11:52 |
| hariom | bvad: I have 10.04 LTS | 11:53 |
| ks07 | Hey all - does TRIM work when SSDs are used for a software raid device? The raid array is formatted as ext4 via the installer, but I don't know how to check/if anything needs to be done? | 11:53 |
| bvad | hariom: It should use pulseaudio, try running "which pulseaudio", it should return something like /usr/bin/pulseaudio | 11:53 |
| hapster | adamk_: It's working with nvidia-current. Nouveau guys said nvd9 is not yet supported. | 11:54 |
| hariom | bvad: pulseaudio | 11:55 |
| hariom | E: pid.c: Daemon already running. | 11:55 |
| hariom | E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. | 11:55 |
| adamk_ | hapster, Alright so, again, pastebin the Xorg log file from when you are using the nvidia driver. | 11:55 |
| hapster | adamk_: So I guess I'll have to wait if I want to use the nouveau driver. | 11:55 |
| thehumanerror | Hello guys. My update-manager isn't working, it works when I run it with sudo, but that's no good because it never alerts me that updates are needed | 11:55 |
| thehumanerror | apt-get update and apt-get upgrade work fine | 11:55 |
| bvad | hariom: this means that pulseaudio is already up and running :) There should not be a need for you to reconfigure the alsa default device, pulseaudio is doing this for you | 11:55 |
| hapster | adamk_: But then I'll have to reload it and restart it. haha. Brb. Will get the logs. | 11:56 |
| thehumanerror | but even when I manually run update-manager it never finds any updates | 11:56 |
| bvad | hariom: Unless you specifically need aplay to work without the -D flag | 11:56 |
| === ikke_ is now known as Tourette | ||

| ichbinder | hello. I have an NTFS drive that I need to look at. When trying to mount it (Ubuntu 12.04) I first got an error MFTMirr and MFT differ. Using "ntfsfix" fixed that. But now, I get the error "Failed to calculate free MFT records: input/output error". Using "ntfsfix" again doesn't help, it says it can mount the partition... I would like to follow Ubuntus advice to run "chdsk" in windows, but I currently haven't access to a windows OS. | 12:50 |
| ichbinder | Any other suggestions? Really appreciat any kind of help. | 12:50 |
| ikonia | ichbinder: why are you using ntfsfix to mount it | 12:51 |
| ikonia | just mount it | 12:51 |
| gry | T3X: darkstat ntop and probably few others; 'apt-cache search monitor bandwidth' 'apt-cache search network usage' | 12:51 |
| ikonia | ichbinder: you really should find a windows machien to run chkdsk on | 12:51 |
| ikonia | gry: did you test the network-manager change ? | 12:52 |
| T3X | gry: these tools will allow me to monitor also the bandwidth of the other machines on the network? because i tried ntop and tcptrack they allow only to monitor my local interfaces on my comuter | 12:52 |
| ichbinder | ikonia: hm, guess that was misleading. I'm not using ntfsfix to mount it. I wanted to see if ntfsfix can fix that last error. It's output was http://paste.ubuntu.com/1042336/ and that's what I meant with "ntfsfix can mount it" | 12:53 |
| gry | ikonia: did you get couple highlights (~16 hours ago)? (the networkmanager managed=true option didn't change the problem; the system boots in the same way with the same delay & messages as it did before) | 12:53 |
| ikonia | ichbinder: manipulating ntfs in linux is not something I'd recommend | 12:53 |
| Oran | adamk what kind of log u needed? | 12:53 |
| ikonia | gry: didn't see the higlights, annoying it didn't change anything, I expected it to boot smooth after that | 12:53 |
| ikonia | gry: I'll do some more research | 12:54 |
| gry | yup | 12:54 |
| ichbinder | ikonia: I use "$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/test" to mount it and the output was: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1042337/ | 12:54 |
| Oran | adamk_ what kind of log u needed? | 12:54 |
| adamk_ | Oran, Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. | 12:54 |
| ikonia | gry: I'm confident with the issue, any I know forcing either all network manager or no network manager will fix it, however doing that to your mixed needs is tricky to manage | 12:54 |
| ikonia | ichbinder: yes, so running chkdsk is where you should be going | 12:55 |
| ichbinder | ikonia: hm... tough to find a windows machine... but ok, I'll try to. | 12:55 |
| ichbinder | ikonia: thanks | 12:55 |
| gry | T3X: I fear that you'd probably have to do that on the router itself (or does the server actually see the traffic of other machines on the network? if it does, just give a few hints on how exactly it does that for someone to suggest a solution) | 12:55 |

| Oran | adamk_ i already did this | 13:01 |
| adamk_ | Oran, You can check the computer BIOS, though, and see if maybe there's an option to disable the on-board intel GPU. | 13:01 |

| eein | llutz, ahh that would make sense | 13:59 |
| llutz | eein: as iceroot said, only escape special chars. | 13:59 |
| eein | llutz, its still interesting that it removes the H as well though | 13:59 |
| eein | if the \H is not interpreted as a characte | 14:00 |
| iceroot | eein: your example will also match Gouse | 14:00 |
| iceroot | eein: because you are not searching for H | 14:01 |
| llutz | iceroot: i guess \House will match "any-char"ouse | 14:01 |
| iceroot | llutz: correct | 14:01 |
| llutz | like .ouse | 14:01 |
| eein | thanks thats really helpful, trying to learn all this stuff | 14:02 |
| eein | is there something that explains all those meanings like \H | 14:02 |
| llutz | eein: one list http://perldoc.perl.org/perlrebackslash.html | 14:02 |

| blackgatocatnegr | Thank you, I had a few sites, but they haven't updated in ages, ubuntu does not have a distro specific for videogames, right? | 14:11 |
| MonkeyDust | blackgatocatnegr maybe you could create one | 14:12 |
| blackgatocatnegr | MonkeyDust, why invent the wheel? | 14:12 |
| fidel | blackgatocatnegr: what would be special on such agame-specific distri? | 14:13 |
| fidel | basically not more then some pre-selected packages or am i wrong? | 14:13 |
| betinho | Hi people. My ubuntu is no longer supported but i need to run apt-get update without downloading error. What i need to do in /etc/apt/sources.list? | 14:13 |
| fidel | betinho: mention your current version and update to one which is still supported - in theory | 14:13 |
| MonkeyDust | betinho better faster easier would be to backup and fresh install | 14:14 |
| sloceater | betinho, which version are you running | 14:14 |
| blackgatocatnegr | MonkeyDust,, if I had the time I would do a webpage to catalog and rank games made in python, make some sort of top ten, but that would be insane due to the very large amount of games. | 14:14 |
| betinho | Release:10.10 | 14:15 |
| betinho | Codename: maverick | 14:15 |
| fidel | betinho: so your way is either upgrading from10.10 to 11.04 to 11.10 to 12.04 (current lts) OR backup and do a fresh install | 14:15 |
| blackgatocatnegr | betinho, install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS in a different particion, updates tend to trip a lot of nasty bugs in my past experiences. | 14:15 |
| betinho | MonkeyDust, at the moment i don't want to upgrade ubuntu | 14:15 |
| riclas | hi guys. i just installed 12.04 32 bit on a quad-core opteron 6272 server, but /cpu/procinfo shows 8 CPUs of 4 cores each... it should be 4 CPUs 16 core each... what could be wrong? maybe i should have installed 64 bit version? | 14:15 |
| sloceater | betinho, So you just need some new program installed but the repo is down right? | 14:16 |
| blackgatocatnegr | betinho,, that way you will keep all your old programs, and you can gradually reinstall everything in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, is the safest option so far. | 14:16 |
| betinho | blackgatocatnegr, thanks a lot! | 14:17 |
| philinux | betinho: you need the old releases repo. http://www.warpconduit.net/2011/07/31/apt-repository-for-old-ubuntu-releases/ | 14:18 |
| blackgatocatnegr | betinho, is what I do, saves trouble and work, would be better if you install the new distro in another hard disk, but is your pick. | 14:18 |

| Dr_Willis | live setups can be quirky. ;0 | 14:20 |
| MonkeyDust | SoMuch if you have space left, the installer does it for you -- what goes wrong? | 14:20 |
| SoMuch | and when i go to advanced oartition option and choose specific partition it told me no botloader what i have to do | 14:20 |
| betinho | blackgatocatnegr: So using old releases as philinux said above is no safest? | 14:20 |
| blackgatocatnegr | fidel, it would mostly save time to manually install and or compile a lot of games yourself. | 14:21 |
| SoMuch | i clear 50 gb partition to install on it | 14:22 |
| blackgatocatnegr | betinho, nope, if you trigger a nasty bug, you are on your own if that version is unsoported, if you want to keep using an old version for a long time, try a LTS version. | 14:22 |
| MonkeyDust | SoMuch my advice it to create separate /home and / partitions inside that 50GB | 14:23 |
| SoMuch | MonkeyDust how | 14:23 |
| MonkeyDust | SoMuch you could use gparted (gui) or fdisk (cli) | 14:23 |

| blackgatocatnegr | betinho, ubuntu 12.04 LTS is the latest LTS version. as I said make a new particion with it, (Or install it in another/second hard disk) so you can keep your old programs in the old partition, not everyone can compile (I always suck at it for example), and learning to use different programs and getting used to them takes time. | 14:25 |

| Traumadog | Haven't been on here in a while, been pretty self sufficient, but I need help now and google isn't doing much good :( | 14:31 |
| blackgatocatnegr | blackgatocatnegr, in ubuntu sofware center under "installed" try to search for "linksys network card" if that does not work search for "wireless network card" or "Wifi" | 14:31 |
| vidyut | can anyone tell me how to decrypt a file using a public key? | 14:31 |
| Traumadog | Anyone here know much about Samba? | 14:31 |
| ezbbunk | vidyut: you can't | 14:31 |
| ezbbunk | public keys encrypt, private keys decrypt | 14:31 |
| ezbbunk | you might be able to bruteforce it - but g'luck w/ that | 14:32 |
| iceroot | Traumadog: #samba | 14:32 |
| theseus | sloceater : tasksel in terminal didn't do anything | 14:32 |
| Traumadog | thanks | 14:32 |
| iceroot | !samba | Traumadog | 14:32 |
| ubottu | Traumadog: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 14:32 |
| blackgatocatnegr | SoMuch, tried to install from the live cd? Is really helps to automate things, also, always install linux last. | 14:32 |
| saratoga | are there ready made VB images for ubuntu that are slimmed down to the min? i need to setup an easy to download dev environment | 14:32 |
| sloceater | theseus, Command not found or what?... just nothing | 14:33 |
| blackgatocatnegr | vidyut, try the page where you got the file from, it usually has instructions | 14:33 |
| SoMuch | blackgatocatnegr i just download it yesterday and i made the live cd | 14:33 |
| jc_ | can someone help me set up twinkle with my new SIP account info? | 14:33 |
| iceroot | saratoga: just install an own minimal image | 14:33 |
| theseus | sloceater : "taskel: command not found | 14:33 |
| theseus | " | 14:33 |
| saratoga | iceroot: well i was hoping to have gnome | 14:33 |
| iceroot | theseus: tasksel | 14:33 |
| vidyut | but I read on net that even public key can be used for decryption when file is encypted using private key?http://www.devco.net/archives/2006/02/13/public_-_private_key_encryption_using_openssl.php | 14:33 |
| iceroot | saratoga: then we have different opinions about a minimal system | 14:33 |
| theseus | iceroot: thanks, i just typed it wrong | 14:34 |
| GeeksOnHugs | the ring chart thing in the disk drive app analyzer is a pretty cool idea...when were ring charts invented, I've never seen em before...good information and they look cool too | 14:34 |
| iceroot | vidyut: you need the priavte key for that | 14:34 |
| blackgatocatnegr | SoMuch, just pick the option that says "Install with windows" or something like that. | 14:34 |
| saratoga | iceroot: well not minimal, but as small as possible, the idea is to allow windows users to easy to compile our code | 14:34 |
| iceroot | saratoga: then install a system which fits your needs | 14:34 |
| saratoga | can you recommend one ? | 14:34 |
| ezbbunk | gentoo? | 14:35 |
| iceroot | saratoga: ubuntu 12.04 | 14:35 |
| iceroot | saratoga: and if it should be small, use lubuntu 12.04 | 14:35 |
| impaktor | If I want to update to Skype 4.0 in 12.04, should I just download the deb from their homepage, and double click? Will this remove the old version? | 14:35 |
| blackgatocatnegr | saratoga, windows user and compile? better just make a live cd, unless you really want a windows port. | 14:35 |
| paul_uk | hey guys, running 12.04 64bit and I have to tell you. I love this release, best so far! Just one hickup trying to run an IDE and I keep on getting this error: ./sublime_text: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory What do I need to install to install this dependency? | 14:35 |
| saratoga | i'm using virtualbox actually | 14:36 |
| ezbbunk | paul_uk: probably libgtk-x11-2.0 | 14:36 |
| ajir | i had black screen whwn installing ubuntu precise using UFD.. | 14:36 |
| vidyut | iceroot: but i dont have private key what i have is a public key and a signature | 14:36 |
| blackgatocatnegr | impaktor, better make a backup of the configuration files just in case, when upgrading, sometimes the older configuration files get deleted | 14:36 |
| iceroot | vidyut: then you can decrypt it | 14:37 |
| SDX | saratoga: There are other, smaller distros if you don't limit yourself to *buntu variations. | 14:37 |
| paul_uk | ezbbunk, yeah tried that. can't locate any package with that name | 14:37 |
| vidyut | iceroot: how? | 14:37 |
| SoMuch | <blackgatocatnegr> look i do that but it want to install it on d: i made 50gb and i don't want ubunto to miss with hard drive till i fully understand it every time i choose d it told me no bootloader found | 14:37 |
| iceroot | vidyut: it would be totally stupid and useless if you can decrypt with a public key | 14:37 |
| GeeksOnHugs | hey speaking of ubuntu, is anyone familiar with ubuntu for android? canonoical only talks with mobile manufacturerers for it and there are no downloads...how likely is it someone could rig their own ubuntu for android system? | 14:37 |
| vidyut | iceroot: but i need to | 14:37 |
| iceroot | vidyut: sorry i mean then you cant | 14:37 |
| iceroot | vidyut: doesnt matter if you need to, its not possiblre | 14:37 |
| impaktor | blackgatocatnegr: OK, so I shouldn't use synaptic/program central to install skype 4.0 | 14:38 |
| impaktor | ? | 14:38 |
| MonkeyDust | impaktor if you use skype 4, don't expect much support, as it is very new; you are then the one who tries it out | 14:38 |
| GeeksOnHugs | http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android | 14:38 |
| blackgatocatnegr | impaktor, actually, try to add a repository to synaptic/program first. | 14:38 |
| thenry | skype is what? | 14:38 |
| impaktor | MonkeyDust: so it's not a stable release? | 14:38 |
| iceroot | impaktor: ask microsoft | 14:39 |
| thenry | i wonder to know | 14:39 |
| iceroot | impaktor: we dont distribute skype 4.0 | 14:39 |
| diluted | if i were to upgrade to 12.04 from 11.10 via do-release-upgrade, i'd have to reboot afterwards correct? | 14:39 |
| iceroot | diluted: yes | 14:39 |
| impaktor | thenry: http://www.geek.com/articles/news/skype-4-0-for-linux-now-available-20120614 | 14:39 |
| diluted | damn | 14:39 |
| galacticboy | Hi is it possible to install apps offline without using apt on cd? | 14:39 |
| impaktor | OK, thanks | 14:39 |
| iceroot | galacticboy: dpkg if you have the debfile | 14:39 |
| thenry | thanks | 14:39 |
| ezbbunk | galacticboy: copy the packages to a local respository? | 14:39 |
| bazhang | !offline | galacticboy | 14:40 |
| ubottu | galacticboy: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD | 14:40 |
| GeeksOnHugs | what about ubuntu on my arm mobile device? http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android | 14:40 |
| mbeierl | vidyut, the link you pasted shows encryption with public key, followed by decription with private. Are you sure you are following the directions correctly? | 14:40 |
| diluted | would it hurt if i didnt reboot right away cause i got a nice uptime | 14:40 |
| diluted | dont really wanna lose my uptime lol | 14:40 |
| iceroot | diluted: then why upgrading? | 14:40 |
| blackgatocatnegr | diluted, yes, but just after that, do a massive update of 12.04 using update manager, or you will trigger some errors | 14:40 |
| paul_uk | impaktor: wow thanks, i didn't know I was running skype 2 which was installed from the packates. | 14:40 |
| iceroot | diluted: you will have a new dbus, libc6 and kernel and everything from that needs a reboot | 14:41 |
| diluted | oh ok | 14:41 |
| diluted | thank ya thank ya | 14:41 |
| vidyut | mbeierl: Please read this So by example if Person A want to send Person B data in a secure fashion she just have to encrypt it with Person B’s public key, only Person B can then open the file using her private key. There are other advantages to this kind of encryption. If I met you in person and gave you my public key, I can send you something electronically using my private key to encrypt it, if the public key you have can decrypt | 14:41 |
| blackgatocatnegr | diluted, also you might wanna configure synaptic to only "Use LTS versions" as next version, 12.10 wont be a long term version. | 14:41 |
| galacticboy | Thank you guys! That way i can install any application? | 14:41 |
| thenry | skype cant apply to China | 14:41 |
| Traumadog | well nobody is answering in #samba | 14:41 |
| diluted | im in terminal mode on server blackgatocatnegr | 14:41 |
| tenX | vidyut: ? | 14:42 |
| impaktor | paul_uk: Interesting that even though they've released a new skype the download for ubuntu still says 10.10. | 14:42 |
| Traumadog | My problem is that Samba keeps making me lose my internet connection when I'm transferring files. | 14:42 |
| diluted | aka no x windows | 14:42 |
| GeeksOnHugs | http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android | 14:42 |
| iceroot | diluted: is that a public server? | 14:42 |
| vidyut | tenX: sory didn't get you | 14:42 |
| Traumadog | Does anyone have any experience with Samba kicking them off their connection when transferring files? | 14:42 |
| diluted | no, privately used, privately kept | 14:42 |
| iceroot | diluted: good | 14:43 |
| diluted | its a server with no monitor/keyboard/mouse in my closet | 14:43 |
| diluted | but 09:35:33 up 240 days, 3:46, 1 user, load average: 0.22, 0.06, 0.06 | 14:43 |
| mbeierl | vidyut, and so, did you try: openssl rsautl -decrypt -inkey public.key -in file.ssl -out decrypted.txt ? | 14:43 |
| iceroot | diluted: nice, 240 days, a lot of security issues | 14:43 |
| blackgatocatnegr | diluted, then just use the old sudo apt-get update after reboot | 14:43 |
| compdoc | Traumadog, is samba running on your firewall server or something? | 14:43 |
| tenX | vidyut: was only wondering about your encryption output | 14:43 |
| vidyut | mbeierl: yes,but it didn;t worked | 14:43 |
| diluted | ive been doing apt-get update & upgrades tho | 14:43 |
| diluted | so hopefully that helps | 14:44 |
| iceroot | diluted: no | 14:44 |
| Traumadog | I am running off a desktop and trying to reach it from my laptop from within the same network. | 14:44 |
| iceroot | diluted: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:44 |
| iceroot | diluted: that is the correct way to install security updates | 14:44 |
| blackgatocatnegr | diluted, it does but after install ubuntu 12.04 you have to update right away to prevent some nasty bugs. | 14:44 |
| iceroot | diluted: and that will NOT change the ubuntu version | 14:44 |
| Traumadog | is there a router setting that might be causing it? | 14:44 |
| iceroot | blackgatocatnegr: the release-upgrade will automaticly install the newest 12.04 release | 14:45 |
| mbeierl | vidyut, who did the encryption of the file? I tried reversing the directions on that link you cited, but it doesn't work. | 14:45 |
| compdoc | Traumadog, look at the cpu usage while the files are transferred. | 14:45 |
| Traumadog | compdoc: ok let me recreate the issue, one moment. | 14:45 |
| === erry_ is now known as erry | ||
| blackgatocatnegr | iceroot, I know but after 12.04 release install, you have to update again, or you get errors. | 14:45 |
| vidyut | I don't know i just got it from git repo | 14:46 |
| vidyut | mbeierl: ^ | 14:46 |
| greenit | i have a ralink 2800 network card, and since the update yesterday it does not work anymore.... it is not even listed when i enter "ifconfig" (as wlan0)... how can i get it working again? :( | 14:46 |
| iceroot | blackgatocatnegr: if that is the case, open a bug but i dont think that is happening | 14:46 |
| dontknow | where is the "recent documents" location? | 14:47 |
| blackgatocatnegr | iceroot, actually, it happened to me in 12.04 LTS, solved it after using updated manager | 14:47 |
| compdoc | Traumadog, how do you transfer the files? If you used rsycn, you can control how much cpu the transfer takes up | 14:47 |
| compdoc | rsync | 14:48 |
| === nikhil_ is now known as Guest259 | ||
| SoMuch | blackgatocatnegr, look i do that but it want to install it on d: i made 50gb and i don't want ubunto to miss with hard drive till i fully understand it every time i choose d it told me no bootloader found | 14:48 |
| Traumadog | compdoc: well that happene quickly. The network just dropped almost the instant I started copying files. I have a screenshot of the cpu usage here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/77181932/Screenshot.jpg | 14:49 |
| blackgatocatnegr | SoMuch, you are the one who wanted to install another linux distro or the one who wanted to install linux and keep windows 7? sorry I got confused -_- | 14:49 |
| MonkeyDust | SoMuch linux does not use c: and d: , it uses partitions, that's parts of a hard disk | 14:49 |
| Traumadog | cpu usage seemed normal, if anything it dropped a little | 14:49 |
| dontknow | i disabled activity log with privacy app but it still shows recent documents when using a software selecting folder etc, how can i disable it permanently | 14:49 |
| mbeierl | vidyut, still looking. gimme a few more minutes | 14:49 |
| vidyut | mbeierl: ok | 14:49 |
| compdoc | Traumadog, it looks normal up until the connection drops. you could have a hardware problem | 14:50 |
| SoMuch | the one who want to keep windpws 7 | 14:50 |
| Traumadog | it only started occuring since I installed Samba, and only when using Samba. Nothing else is causing this effect. | 14:50 |
| MonkeyDust | SoMuch windows is usually located on the partition /dev/sda1 | 14:50 |
| compdoc | Traumadog, I have seen some netowrk cards that overheat when under a load | 14:50 |
| SoMuch | MonkeyDust, i see i choose the partition which has the same size as d | 14:51 |
| fourlastor | is there a way to make skype multiple instances with the version 4? | 14:51 |
| Traumadog | I don't think it's an over heating issue unless Samba is doing something very strange. I can FTP for hours without problems. | 14:51 |
| MonkeyDust | SoMuch yes, that space must be divided in separate parts/partitions | 14:51 |
| compdoc | Traumadog, I use samba on many systems with many types of hardware, and by itself, samba doesnt cause that issue | 14:51 |
| Traumadog | got any other ideas? | 14:51 |
| Traumadog | Trust me, this is a Samba issue. I can google it and see it all over the net. | 14:52 |
| blackgatocatnegr | SoMuch, if you want to install another linux distro (Yet keep the old one9 Just ignore the error mensage, install anyway, then boot the old distro in option 2 and update grub. To install linux and keep windows 7 using the the live cd, just pick option one, then select how much space you wanna give to the linux particion. Then keep doing the installation. | 14:52 |
| Traumadog | The reason I came here is that there was no real resolution online. So I guess it's just a mystery then. I'll have to find a different networking method. | 14:52 |
| blackgatocatnegr | , be sure to DO NOT FORMAT if you do now know what are you doing. | 14:53 |
| blackgatocatnegr | SoMuch, be sure to DO NOT FORMAT if you do now know what are you doing. | 14:53 |
| SoMuch | MonkeyDust, blackgatocatnegr, so what i am gonna do i don't want ubuntu miss with my partition | 14:54 |
| kndavid | hi, I don't know what happened to my graphics but all of a sudden cairo dock doesnt work (it used to before) it wouldnt launch , any idea what could be the problem , am using natty | 14:54 |
| zahntron | hi, anyone have experience with the MacBook Air2011 and 12.04? | 14:54 |
| MonkeyDust | !mac| zahntron start here | 14:55 |
| ubottu | zahntron start here: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 14:55 |
| mbeierl | vidyut, this is as close as I could get: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.openssl.user/43737 , which gives me the following command: openssl rsautl -pubin -verify -inkey public.pem -in encrypted.txt -out plaintext.txt but I get a block size mismatch as I don't know the original block size. I think you need to check with the owner of the git repo. Or at least the person who did the commit | 14:55 |
| blackgatocatnegr | zahntron, well, better option is dual boot, keep MAc OS somewhere, that way if something goes wrong with linux, you can still boot from MacOS. | 14:56 |
| zahntron | yeah i used that. i have a specific issue though. the disc times out and goes black when i navigate to install ubuntu | 14:56 |
| mbeierl | vidyut, you might also have better luck in #openssl. Just be patient as there are not a lot of people there | 14:56 |
| zahntron | i have an external optical drive | 14:56 |
| vidyut | mbeierl: thanks :) | 14:57 |
| mbeierl | vidyut, for what I could offer, which doesn't work completely, you're welcome! | 14:57 |
| blackgatocatnegr | SoMuch, as I said install linux in the 50 Gb particion, then rebbot and update grub (option 2 in boot loader, then pick "update grub") that way you should be able to pick whate version of linux to boot at PC start. | 14:57 |
| NelsonM | Got a sec? What does "grep FSCKFIX /etc/default/rcS" say on your Ubuntu box? (Trying to figure out how to get my system to fsck in non-interactive mode at boot). | 14:58 |
| MonkeyDust | SoMuch if you're not sure, then use the complete partition / d: to install ubuntu | 14:59 |
| blackgatocatnegr | zahntron, try the alternate install CD. | 14:59 |
| zahntron | I'm using the AMD/MAC | 14:59 |
| zahntron | CD | 15:00 |
| blackgatocatnegr | MonkeyDust, don't make the poor guy DELETE EVERYTHING, ok? | 15:00 |
| SoMuch | blackgatocatnegr, i am sorry but what you write is like puzzle to me i can't understand anything it's my first time to use ubuntu what is grub and how can i am gonna make ubuntu on this specific 50 gb | 15:00 |
| SoMuch | MonkeyDust, just tell me how i can do that | 15:00 |
| blackgatocatnegr | SoMuch, ok, you are trying to install linux and keep windows, yes? | 15:01 |
| MonkeyDust | SoMuch the space on d: , on that partition, is it empty? | 15:01 |
| vidyut | mbeierl: here it is openssl rsautl -verify -inkey public-key.pem -pubin < signed.dat | 15:01 |
| blackgatocatnegr | SoMuch, live cd option 1 should work for you. | 15:01 |
| SoMuch | yes for both of you | 15:01 |
| MonkeyDust | SoMuch if it's empty space, you can use it -- i guess it's /dev/sdb or so | 15:02 |
| SoMuch | MonkeyDust, thats what i try to say every time i choose this option from the advanced partition it told me no boot loader | 15:03 |
| MonkeyDust | SoMuch don't use the advanced settings, if you're not sure -- select the partition in the litlle drop down menu, top right | 15:04 |

| sabayonuser_ | hey ppl i have a strange problem unity is consuming too much memory gnome sheell is less resource hungry ?? | 15:10 |
| blackgatocatnegr | sabayonuser_, as a general rule, flash and video problems with ubuntu are solved by installing the proprietary drivers instead of using the genetic ones. If you wanna keep using the generic ones, you will need a compatible video card. | 15:10 |
| sabayonuser_ | kk | 15:10 |

| iceroot | sabayonuser_: and i am telling you its not using 1gb | 15:12 |
| Zoohouse | sabayonuser_: If you turn off all the special effects, unity would consume less resources. That said, GNOME can be more, equal, or less resources hungry than Unity depending on all the extra effects stuff you have on it. | 15:12 |

| sabayonuser_ | i am fine with this lts release | 15:14 |
| paul_uk | SDX: rebooted and launched twice and re-installed a couple of times. Nada | 15:15 |
| glitsj16 | paul_uk: a fix is actually in the Skype README | 15:15 |
| SDX | sabayonuser_: Xubuntu/Xfce is like the lightweight child of LXDE and Gnome. You could try that. | 15:15 |
| iceroot | sabayonuser_: most of the packages from lubuntu are also lts | 15:15 |
| blackgatocatnegr | sabayonuser_, try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xubuntu and Xfce https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xfce. Xfce is what I am using. | 15:15 |
| wylde_ | sabayonuser_: all 12.04 *buntus are lts...the difference is the desktop. That's it. | 15:15 |
| iceroot | SDX: lxde is the lightweight child of xfce4 | 15:15 |
| iceroot | wylde_: no | 15:15 |
| sabayonuser_ | i may install zubuntu desktop later :D | 15:16 |
| iceroot | wylde_: lubuntu 12.04 is no lts release | 15:16 |
| SDX | Really? I thought the opposite. | 15:16 |
| wylde_ | iceroot: ahh alrighty. | 15:16 |
| iceroot | SDX: no | 15:16 |
| paul_uk | glitsj16, thanks for that | 15:17 |
| glitsj16 | paul_uk: you're welcome, it has good instructions, and it could solve other issues you might encounter | 15:18 |
| blackgatocatnegr | sabayonuser_, see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/xubuntu | 15:19 |
| sabayonuser_ | hehe thanks cheers again :D | 15:19 |
| greenit | it seems that the driver rt2860sta is not installed in my kernel (sudo modprobe rt2860sta says FATAL: Module rt2860sta not found.)... how can i install that module again? i dont know why it is no more here, but it was yesterday | 15:21 |
| blackgatocatnegr | greenit, try looking at the manufactured web site, sometimes they have drivers for ubuntu, also try to look if the driver wasn't simply upgraded to a newer version. | 15:22 |

| blackgatocatnegr | GDI, have you tried to update pidgin first? also make sure the specific unity pidgin packages are installed. | 15:25 |
| eutheria | there is a ppa with a version of unity that you can force to always show the global menu, damn i am one happy bunny i dont' have to hunt for menu options | 15:25 |

| HoNgOuRu | I configured all but Im having that problem now | 15:26 |
| blackgatocatnegr | greywalk, please say what version of ubuntu you are using, and what GUI/desktop environment, it really helps, thank you. | 15:27 |
| greywalk | blackgatocatnegr: kubuntu 12.04 | 15:27 |
| Jon-- | My mouse pointer is a vertical bar of a few pixels suddenly. How do I fix? | 15:28 |
| blackgatocatnegr | blackgatocatnegr:, I will asume you are using KDE, please go to #kubuntu for KDE questions | 15:29 |
| greywalk | blackgatocatnegr: alright ) | 15:30 |
| Jon-- | No one knows hmm? It's really annoying. About 20 little pixel dots, about 2-3 times larger vertically than my typical mouse pointer. I assume restarting X will fix it, I don't want to do that if I don't have to. Odd bug. | 15:32 |
| greywalk | Jon--, logout or reboot | 15:32 |
| greywalk | Jon--, this happened to me as well. especially on kubuntu 11.10 | 15:33 |
| OerHeks | Jon--, try reset the monitor, that used to work for me. | 15:33 |
| Jon-- | greywalk, Sounds like how you fix a Windows issue. | 15:33 |

| fwiss | Hey guys, I have a problem with KDE's volume mixer. Namely, there isn't one right now. Is it possible to use Ubuntu's standard GNOME volume mixer on KDE? | 15:33 |
| blackgatocatnegr | Jon--, please be more specific, please say what version of ubuntu you are using, and what GUI/desktop environment and if you have installed the propietary drivers or not. | 15:33 |
| greywalk | Jon--, yes it does. it also means crappy pointer integration in ubuntu | 15:34 |
| L3top | fwiss: ps aux | grep kmix | grep -v grep | 15:34 |
| greywalk | Jon--, and also means you brain couldn't come up with at least a window-ish solution. sorry but your previous statement deserves this one. | 15:34 |
| blackgatocatnegr | fwiss, yes, it will probably install some GNOME packages as well, like when you use in Totem, but it should work. | 15:35 |
| Jon-- | greyfox, ctrl+alt+printscreen+k would fix my issue. That's not the point. | 15:35 |

| dannel | what am i doing here i dont help anybody. ever. | 15:36 |
| Jon-- | iceroot, I said "don't do this" right afterwards. | 15:36 |
| Jon-- | That's the new command to restart the X server. | 15:37 |
| Jon-- | L3top, I enjoyed having everyone gang up on me. Can I smoke a cigarette now? | 15:37 |
| fwiss | Nothing happens when I use L3top's command. | 15:37 |
| iceroot | Jon--: then dont post something when you have to say "dont use that" | 15:37 |
| iceroot | Jon--: that is not the command to restart the x-server | 15:37 |

| === VGoff is now known as VGoff_afk | ||
| iceroot | Jon--: that command has nothing to do with x11 | 15:37 |
| HoNgOuRu | hi, how can I set dhcp server to listen on wlan0 device? | 15:37 |
| L3top | fwiss: type /usr/bin/kmix | 15:37 |
| fwiss | I don't think I have it/ | 15:38 |
| fwiss | Guess I should just install kmix | 15:39 |
| fwiss | ? | 15:39 |
| Jon-- | iceroot, That doesn't kill the X server? | 15:39 |
| L3top | dhcp doesn't listen, it brodcasts HoNgOuRu. Check your /etc/dhcp3/dhcp.conf | 15:39 |
| Jon-- | I thought they replaced ctrl+alt+backspace with that upstream. | 15:39 |
| HoNgOuRu | ok | 15:39 |
| L3top | yes fwiss... that was coming next :) | 15:39 |
| iceroot | Jon--: it will kill much more then just x11 | 15:39 |
| iceroot | Jon--: your command is a kernel command | 15:39 |
| Jon-- | Kills all processes in userspace? | 15:39 |
| ikonia | it's the sysrq magic key sequence | 15:39 |
| iceroot | Jon--: called magic syskey requests | 15:39 |
| iceroot | or like that.. :) | 15:40 |
| Jon-- | iceroot, thanks, I got the relevant wiki now. Why did Ubuntu remove ctrl+alt+backspace? | 15:40 |
| llutz | iceroot: its the recommended way to stop a hanging x-server since 9.04, published here and everywhere else | 15:40 |
| ikonia | Jon--: ubuntu didn't | 15:40 |
| iceroot | Jon--: because itsa evil | 15:40 |
| ikonia | !nozap | 15:40 |
| Jon-- | There used to be an option to enable it in keyboard settings, and it just killed x. Was it removed upstream? | 15:40 |
| ikonia | !dontzap | 15:40 |
| iceroot | llutz: x11 is not hanging in that case | 15:41 |
| blackgatocatnegr | Jon--, because of abuse | 15:41 |
| HoNgOuRu | L3top, I get "Not configured to listen on any interfaces!" so it listens | 15:41 |
| HoNgOuRu | L3top, help me out here | 15:41 |
| Jon-- | blackgatocatnegr, Doesn't make much sense to me, it was disabled by default back in 9.04 if I recall, or a bit earlier. | 15:41 |
| iceroot | llutz: Kill all processes on the current virtual console (Can be used to kill X and svgalib programs, see below) | 15:42 |
| llutz | iceroot: i know what sysrq-k does | 15:42 |
| iceroot | llutz: and its bad because killing x means also killing all programs the hard way | 15:42 |
| OerHeks | Jon--, now you can use Alt + PrintScreen + K | 15:42 |
| iceroot | llutz: the same discussion as kill or kill -9 | 15:42 |
| blackgatocatnegr | Jon--, what is removed or not is always cause of arguing, thats why we have LTS versions, so people can keep using the same stuff for years. | 15:43 |

| iceroot | blackgatocatnegr: based on is maybe the better word | 15:46 |
| Daekdroom | The same way Ubuntu is derived from Debian. | 15:46 |
| Meridious | blackbear008: mint and ubuntu have alot in common | 15:46 |
| blackgatocatnegr | blackbear008, please, to to keep friendly, "based on" is not the same as a "distribution from" | 15:46 |
| VGoff | Don't know why it was marked DANGEROUS as it doesn't cause injury to equipment or loss of data, it simply restarts the X server. Warning, but not DANGEROUS. not like a command that will format your drive. | 15:46 |
| iceroot | VGoff: you lose your work for example | 15:47 |
| blackbear008 | I see ,blackgatocatnegr | 15:47 |
| iceroot | VGoff: if someone here is just executing it and dont know what it is doing | 15:47 |
| VGoff | True. But it is not dangerous. Not like some commands that historically could send high frequency to a monitor and damage your display. | 15:47 |
| VGoff | But don't be an alarmist. | 15:47 |
| iceroot | VGoff: we dont want such commands here | 15:48 |

| schnuffle1 | gdane: To check all this boot into a live system and then we can see where the roblem is | 16:04 |
| VGoff | belgianguy, if you want an editor that will work on both and will act as a full featured IDE, you could use vim or gvim. | 16:04 |
| mneptok | belgianguy: i.e. can you wite HTML and Javascript, and just need tree views and such. | 16:04 |
| belgianguy | mneptok: yeah | 16:05 |
| mneptok | belgianguy: look at jEdit before Eclipse, IMO. | 16:05 |

| tenX | blackgatocatnegr: libreoffice? | 16:07 |
| blackgatocatnegr | belgianguy, basically try anything that apears on ubuntu software center when you type "Html editor" and just pick one. | 16:08 |
| blackgatocatnegr | belgianguy, libreoffice to just make an html page quick, then gedit for details. | 16:08 |
| MonkeyDust | belgianguy kompozer is nice but not nearly as advanced as dreamweaver | 16:08 |

| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate | 16:09 |
| mneptok | Kircle: exactly right. | 16:09 |
| schnuffle1 | !partimage | 16:10 |
| Kircle | mneptok will it create a img file? | 16:10 |
| blackgatocatnegr | mneptok, libre office is available for a lot of Os, gedit can be easily replaced with a lot of text editors, and this is an ubuntu channel, so ubuntu answers take priority. | 16:10 |
| schnuffle1 | Kircle: There also tools like clonezilla or partimage | 16:10 |
| belgianguy | I want something lean and mean, and not the WYSIWYG, I write each letter of code myself ;) | 16:10 |
| mneptok | Kircle: it will create what you specify in of= | 16:10 |
| belgianguy | so I'm leaning towards the vim solution, or gedit with plugins, perhaps Eclipse if dynamic languages come into play | 16:11 |
| belgianguy | (I already use Eclipse for Android dev) | 16:11 |
| chu | haha, dare I say gnu emacs? | 16:11 |
| mneptok | belgianguy: no gEdit on Windows. | 16:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | I guess I'm the only one experiencing this.. | 16:11 |
| belgianguy | mneptok: I have Notepad++ there | 16:11 |
| blackgatocatnegr | belgianguy, define clean, I know guys who write their code in leafpad, basically it will take some trial an error to find the programs you are most confortable with. | 16:12 |
| Sidewinder1 | Why, when I mount an ext. HD through Places do multiple versions/instances of Nautilus (usually just two, thank the deities) open? 10.04 Desktop; it only happens occasionally and is not a major problem. I was just curious if I am the only one that experiences this phenomenon. | 16:12 |
| mneptok | belgianguy: seriously, look ay jEdit. then ditch Notepad++ on Windows in its favor. | 16:12 |
| mneptok | belgianguy: *at | 16:12 |
| mneptok | belgianguy: and especially if you're doing Java API development as it is (on Android). | 16:13 |
| belgianguy | mneptok: oh, that would be interesting | 16:14 |
| blackgatocatnegr | belgianguy, on windows I prefer metapad for some things, I wonder if it works in vista and seven. Your question is very subjective, I recommended you try several editors, preferable those that are cross-platform, and keep the ones you like. | 16:14 |
| mneptok | belgianguy: there is a Windows installer. on *Ubuntu, 'sudo apt-get install jedit" | 16:15 |
| blackgatocatnegr | belgianguy, read this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_HTML_editors and just pick the ones that fit your needs best. | 16:16 |

| maurizio | Hi, I need help finding a good query to solve my issue. I am not sure if my HDD is set up correctly since for every action I do (open a tab, start a text editor) the HDD clicks a lot, like it doesn't use any kind of cache for anything. | 16:38 |
| i7c | dontknow: btw, can i just delete the file or will it harm the system? | 16:38 |

| schnuffle1 | maurizio: check syslog and dmesg perhaps your HDD is dying | 16:41 |
| srini | I am looking for help on Ocropus! | 16:41 |
| maurizio | schnuffle1, good point. I'm checking now, though i suspect that's not the problem (windows doesn't suffer that) | 16:42 |
| srini | I am trying to compile the sources, but stuck in the configure because of the tesseract not found! It is installed in /usr/local, but --with-tesseract=/usr/local is still not helping! | 16:42 |
| schnuffle1 | srini: http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/wiki/InstallTranscript states a different way to compile | 16:45 |
| blackgatocatnegr | maurizi, try reset the default the bios, also your hard disk might be faulty. | 16:45 |

| maurizio | schnuffle1, nothing. Btw, I've read somewhere that it depends from the fs. ext3/4 do write sparsely and not contigous like ntfs.. sound strange to me. | 16:46 |
| blackgatocatnegr | maurizio, as general rule, when you hard disk starts to make strange noises, backup everything. | 16:46 |
| Ca11um | Hey guys. | 16:47 |
| dontknow | glitsj16, look like sudo chattr +i worked, thanks | 16:47 |
| maurizio | blackgatocatnegr, to be honest it did the same with the old working hd. I am now worried because I have to do the 100000 inserts on a mysql db | 16:47 |
| Ca11um | When it comes to running various services on a Linux server, should you typically use screens? | 16:47 |
| glitsj16 | dontknow: nice, one less thing, you're welcome | 16:47 |
| Ca11um | Or do you setup a new user for every process, or what | 16:47 |
| Ca11um | ? | 16:47 |
| blackgatocatnegr | maurizi, as general rule, when you hard disk starts to make strange noises, backup everything. then try a live cd that has disk cheeking tools, if your hdd has errors that cannot be fixed, I recomend getting a new one. | 16:48 |
| dontknow | glitsj16, i was looking for different ways but permission did it :D | 16:48 |
| blackgatocatnegr | maurizio, what gui/ are you using? and Hardware? Is a laptop? your motherboard/bios might be to table. | 16:48 |
| blackgatocatnegr | *blame | 16:48 |
| maurizio | ubuntu 12.04/ mb Asus P5K with a Sata HD | 16:50 |
| maurizio | don't know how to check my bios version without rebooting | 16:50 |
| maurizio | i suppose if the bios is to blame, I should read something on dmesg, like if it's not using the hdd's internal cache | 16:51 |
| blackgatocatnegr | maurizio, try to reset the bios settings to default, check the cables, try booting with a more lightweight gui, add more ram, have the motherboard cheeked. thats all the solutions I can think off. | 16:51 |
| maurizio | (which sounds weird/impossible) | 16:51 |

| nothingmuch | i'm using a texlive installation in /usr/local and I'd like to install texmaker (tex IDE) without the system texlive (because it's very old and I don't want to accidentally get confused between the two versions) and it's not a real dependency (i.e. no linkage of libraries, in theory you can use texmaker to edit .tex files without ever compiling) | 16:52 |
| blackgatocatnegr | maurizio, bad bios settings might not trigger error mensages, check the list of process your Os is running, maybe some background process are to blame, what version of Ubuntu are you using? With what gui/ desktop environment? | 16:52 |
| maurizio | blackgatocatnegr, i will thx. any idea how do i search for solutions on google? sounds stupid, i know, but I was using "hdd clicking noise ubuntu" and it's not enough. | 16:52 |

| blackgatocatnegr | maurizio, open gparted, see if you have a linux swap in any of the harddisks, if you don't, make one about 5% 10% size of the hard disk. | 16:53 |
| maurizio | blackgatocatnegr, have it. 1gb. while I have 4gb of ram. | 16:54 |

| blackgatocatnegr | maurizio, ok, reset your bios to default, try another GUI besides unity, (like Xfce desktop) check the process you are running at startup, and as I said your hardware might be to blame, better backup just in case. | 16:56 |
| maurizio | blackgatocatnegr, also I don't believe it's some process' fault, otherwise I would hear the hd always clicking. | 16:56 |
| kensama | sorry i was not advise of this | 16:56 |
| andrewaclt | Any twitter client recommendations? | 16:56 |
| nothingmuch | aha: apt-get --no-install-recommends install texmaker | 16:56 |

| blackgatocatnegr | maurizio,, if you had the same problem with another hard disk, the motherboard could be faulty, is weird, but could happen. | 16:57 |
| maurizio | blackgatocatnegr, it's the Windows ws Ubuntu that nerves me. windwos = ok, linux = clicky | 16:57 |
| blackgatocatnegr | maurizio, well, I say you try the bios settings first. where you using a portable? | 16:58 |

| blackgatocatnegr | maurizio, in spanish is usually is "Gestiones de energia" or something like that | 17:05 |
| Zero_Angel | did you go to audio properties tab? | 17:05 |
| dcuny | Yes. And the terminal version as well. | 17:05 |
| quixotedon | dcuny: go to Sound and check out your hardware there | 17:05 |
| maurizio | blackgatocatnegr, well, maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but on system settings i can't do much, only tell when to shut down when on battery mode. | 17:05 |
| quixotedon | dcuny: what does it say? | 17:05 |
| dcuny | It recognizes the audio card, and says everything should be good. Nothing muted, all volume levels up. | 17:06 |
| dcuny | But... No test sound. | 17:06 |
| Zero_Angel | are you sure that you're not selecting a 'digital' or HDMI output source? | 17:07 |
| blackgatocatnegr | maurizio, look at the settings options, try each one, there should be one for "ON AC" Spin down hard disks | 17:07 |
| dcuny | Yes, it's "Analog Stereo Duplex". | 17:07 |

| qwebirc30502 | the problem is that when, i burn the dvd/cd of linux mint then boot, on the desktop I choose install, then languages, then on the partions, I dont have the option of alongside on windows, and worst is that the distro tell me that i dont have any os installed | 17:10 |

| oCean | qwebirc30502: see ubottu message, it is hilighted to you | 17:12 |
| blackgatocatnegr | maurizio, other option is to manually edit the config files so your hard disk does not spin so much, but is risky. I sugest you edit the speed settings in your bios and see if that does help. | 17:12 |
| maurizio | blackgatocatnegr, i reboot to see if there is something to do. i'm highly skeptic though. | 17:12 |

| oCean | palis11: in what context | 17:19 |

| maurizio | quixotedon, wait.. for me "spins" = rotating. click = "writing here and there" | 17:21 |
| ckwalsh | palis11, If I had to guess, those quirks are patches for specific graphics cards | 17:21 |
| MonkeyDust | palis11 is it with a PPA ? | 17:21 |

| JoMs | Hi, anyone knows if there's any solution for installing mysql-server-5.5 on ubuntu 12.04 yet? seems a lot of people have trouble installing it (including me) | 17:21 |
| ckwalsh | looks like it's trying to use patches/settings for a graphics card you don't have | 17:21 |
| palis11 | xorg edges | 17:21 |
| blackgatocatnegr | quixotedon, He is using an ASUS system, maybe that has something to do with it? | 17:22 |
| Meridious | solid91: does this occur during your bios output or during boot? | 17:22 |
| ckwalsh | maurizio, Use iotop to see what process is writing to the drive | 17:22 |
| quixotedon | blackgatocatnegr: well, i'm using a dell laptop, i don't know much about dealing with ubuntu on asus | 17:22 |
| palis11 | ckwalsh: there are 3 files there: lenovo, tochiba and insert_your_quirk_here. IS it safe to delete them? | 17:22 |
| palis11 | MonkeyDust: It's a ppa :) | 17:22 |
| ckwalsh | palis11, I have no clue, I have never installed your driver | 17:23 |
| soup-n-sandwich | palis11: what is PPA anyway? | 17:23 |
| ckwalsh | palis11, Why don't you move them to another folder and try it? | 17:23 |
| maurizio | ckwalsh, well that's not the point. when I use mysql, i clearly see mysqld writing, when i open firefox | 17:23 |
| maurizio | ckwalsh, wait..i have to try with firefox again.. weird | 17:23 |
| dcuny | Still no audio. Nothing muted, volumes at full. Used terminal and System tools, no change. Hardware works under Windows. Any clue? | 17:23 |
| MonkeyDust | palis11 find 'quirk' on this page and read the answer below it http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-nvidia-295-40-drivers-in-ubuntu-12-0411-10-using-ppa.html | 17:23 |
| solid91 | @<Meridious> exactly when the system is ready and i can use the computer, after all the starting operations i think | 17:23 |
| palis11 | soup-n-sandwich: xorg edges | 17:23 |
| Zero_Angel | soup-n-sandwich, a PPA is like a mini-repository where certain people upload their packages | 17:24 |
| blackgatocatnegr | maurizio, it seems you DO have process running in the background thats why your hard disk spins so much. | 17:24 |
| soup-n-sandwich | palis11: it's not some sort of repo for software? | 17:24 |
| Meridious | solid91: so right after you log in | 17:24 |
| palis11 | it is | 17:24 |
| solid91 | @<Meridious> yeah | 17:24 |
| ckwalsh | maurizio, If it's clicking a log, there are writes. It sounds like you are shooting in the dark for where those writes are coming from. First things first, figure out where they are coming from, then fix them | 17:24 |
| Meridious | soup-n-sandwich: it stands for Personal Package Archive | 17:24 |
| palis11 | MonkeyDust: did that already, read all the pages in English about it. I'm going to remove them though | 17:25 |
| Meridious | soup-n-sandwich: its a repository | 17:25 |
| soup-n-sandwich | Zero_Angel: I see.Ok just making sure | 17:25 |
| fidel | !ppa | 17:25 |

| Meridious | solid91: and it does not say what program? | 17:25 |
| soup-n-sandwich | ubottu: ahhh thanks | 17:25 |
| aaas | Meridious 'single' doesn't disable network support, ckwalsh options in recovery are resume, clean, dpkg, failsafeX fsck grub, network root system-summary, root gives me prompt but everything is read-only failsafe tries to load network | 17:26 |
| palis11 | soup-n-sandwich: it's a repo. Why? | 17:26 |
| maurizio | well the point is that while i write now, I see on iotop init, kthread,jdb, gtk etc.. on top..but i barely hear the hd. when i do things a bit more intensive, like opening a text editor, I hear the clicks, but it'weird.. if I write an app that writes 5mb of file, i don't hear so many clicks.. it's like the head is going reading a bit here and a bit there etc.. | 17:26 |
| kag_anil | @ceed^ thanks buddy for that post... :) | 17:26 |
| solid91 | @<Meridious> no, only if i want to report the problem...then sometimes i have another one:"Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error...ecc" | 17:26 |
| ckwalsh | aaas, You can remount the file system | 17:27 |
| maurizio | if I were on windows, i would have said that I need to defrag my hd. | 17:27 |
| aaas | ckwalsh i tried but still ro...is there a switch i need to use | 17:27 |
| Meridious | solid91: These are simply bugs in the recent 12.04 release being caught by the OS | 17:27 |
| blackgatocatnegr | maurizio,, please be specific about the system, os and gui you are using, thank you very much. | 17:27 |
| soup-n-sandwich | palis11: I have seen the term a lot in the last few days but didn't look into what it was. I'm new to Ubuntu but have been using Linux professionally for 6 years...just haven't see the term until lately | 17:27 |
| ckwalsh | aaas, one sec, I always have to google it | 17:27 |
| Meridious | solid91: Go ahead and click "report to Ubuntu" and ignore them | 17:27 |
| Meridious | solid91: they will get fixed in updates to your system | 17:28 |
| solid91 | @<Meridious> so i should ignore the errors every time? | 17:28 |
| ckwalsh | aaas, "mount -o remount,rw /" | 17:28 |
| Zero_Angel | The PPA system is neat -- much more convenient than, say the Arch User Repository system -- even though AUR has its strengths too | 17:28 |
| Meridious | solid91: There is a tickbox for "ignore future problems of this type" | 17:28 |
| soup-n-sandwich | palis11: I have to say that I was very excited to switch over to 12.04...but in the last 12 hours I have had some issues that I just don't remember having in other systems. | 17:29 |
| Meridious | solid91: on the pop up message | 17:29 |
| solid91 | @<Meridious> where? :P | 17:29 |
| palis11 | soup-n-sandwich. Well, I was just trying to install my nv drivers, and I've got that. Deleted the content of folder Quirks now, I'll see how it goes. I'm a linux n00bster though :D | 17:29 |
| ckwalsh | maurizio, "sudo swapoff -a; sudo swapon -a;" | 17:29 |
| ckwalsh | And report if it still clicks a bunch | 17:29 |
| maurizio | blackgatocatnegr, I had the problem since ubuntu 11.10, now upgraded to 12.04, unity on a Asus p5k mb 2gb ram core2duo 4600 os 32bit | 17:29 |
| Zero_Angel | wax on wax off | 17:30 |
| soup-n-sandwich | palis11: that's exactly what started this issue for me too! On the notebook about two weeks ago ...now this administration desktop machine. | 17:30 |
| soup-n-sandwich | palis11: samba printer sharing issues also | 17:30 |
| aaas | ckwalsh thanks that worked | 17:30 |
| Meridious | solid91: on the pop up message itself. It may be after you click "report." | 17:31 |
| solid91 | @<Meridious>there isn't any tickbox about "ignore future message" | 17:31 |

| edwinkcw | hello, I have a question about php open source project. Is there any open source image pool on the web? I need to have category, upload and image chooser function. | 17:31 |
| soup-n-sandwich | palis11: this could be a deal breaker if I can get things working. Can Samba really be this far from working? | 17:31 |
| Meridious | solid91: but yeah, these will gradually be fixed as you update in the future | 17:31 |
| blackgatocatnegr | maurizio, try booting from the live cd, if you don't have the same problem there, is probably some bad configuration or running processes you don't need. best option would be a clean linux install (Delete your current one), but is up to you. | 17:31 |
| rottik9 | How do I get, and install ifuse, in 12.4? | 17:31 |

| aaas | Kornka if you're talking about sane, it doesn't support all scanners, depending on your setup, it might just be easier to scan and share over the network or just plug the scanner into a laptop, scanner sharing is different than printer sharing: with scanners you alway shave to bring the thing you want to scan to the scanner | 17:37 |

| Jordan_U | pablo_: Yes, by using Unity2D or one of the many other shells which do not require 3D accelleration. | 17:53 |
| blackgatocatnegr | andai1, ubuntu can use more than 2GB of ram on a 32 bit system, I need to find the page with the details, but basically running a 64 bit system with less than 8 GB is a bit let down. | 17:53 |

| Trieste | device file | 17:54 |
| pablo_ | blackgatocatnegr, is not slow hardware but the video drivers are not available | 17:54 |
| quixotedon | pablo_: or you can install gnome-fallback-session for gnome classic, cmiiw | 17:54 |
| andai1 | so... i'm downloading 32 bit now, but i'm wondering, what issues are there still with 64 bit? | 17:55 |
| llutz | andai1: there are none | 17:55 |
| quixotedon | pablo_: have you checked through 'additional drivers'? | 17:55 |
| blackgatocatnegr | pablo_, then try to get them, or get a different video card, using ubuntu without the right video drivers is bad. | 17:55 |
| zykotick9 | blackgatocatnegr: i'd say 4GB is the tipping point for 64bit myself. PAE is a hack. (i use 64bit on everything that can support it myself). andai1 | 17:55 |
| andai1 | So... why is 32 bit the recommended one, and 64 bit a let down? blackgatocatnegr llutz | 17:56 |
| llutz | andai1: if hardware supports 64bit, one should use it. there might be exceptions when using special software (3rd party) | 17:56 |
| blackgatocatnegr | zykotick9, is a difference on opinion, as time passes 64 bit programs will hog more and more ram, so having 8 GB would be nice. | 17:57 |
| llutz | andai1: they recommend 32 because it will run on all machines | 17:57 |
| === patrick is now known as nj_PeePs | ||
| zykotick9 | blackgatocatnegr: saying 64bit uses more memory is only true if you're using a 32 bit perspective ;) | 17:57 |

| s9iper1 | any body knows a good tool kit of php web development for ubuntu ? | 17:57 |
| gigix | pablo_: 32 bits is sure to work on all machines, though more and more processors are 64 bits compatible | 17:57 |
| llutz | andai1: kinda... | 17:57 |
| blackgatocatnegr | andai1, And because you only have 3 GB of ram, is not justified to run a 64 bit system there as 32 bit would run faster. | 17:58 |
| llutz | blackgatocatnegr: you won't see any difference in most cases | 17:58 |
| zykotick9 | andai1: with 3GB of RAM you'll have more ram available if you use 32bit... | 17:58 |
| soup-n-sandwich | anybody know why sharing printers and file with samba is such a nightmare with 12.04? | 17:58 |

| zykotick9 | blackgatocatnegr: the only 64bit game i've seen is UT2003/4? and it's broken these days anyways. | 17:59 |
| blackgatocatnegr | zykotick9, whats the limit of ram you can use on a 32 bit system? | 17:59 |
| llutz | blackgatocatnegr: 3.2GB | 18:00 |
| zykotick9 | llutz: is correct. with PAE, it's quasi-more obviously. | 18:00 |
| blackgatocatnegr | Then what os do thoser games that use 4 GB of ram or more use? | 18:00 |
| llutz | zykotick9: even with PAE you still will have the 4GB(minus kernel etc) limit per process | 18:02 |
| Flippto | Hey guys, help a newbie out here ;) | 18:02 |
| llutz | zykotick9: as you said, just a hack | 18:03 |

| gigix | did it work on the live session ? | 18:11 |
| Flippto | blackgatocatnegr, i would, except i dont have a spare mouse and keyboard to plug in. | 18:11 |
| Flippto | nope | 18:12 |
| blackgatocatnegr | Flippto, ok try using the alternate install cd, and see if it works from there | 18:13 |
| Flippto | The alternate cd ? Isn't that just extra languages ? Or am i missing something ? | 18:13 |

| oros | Hi | 18:23 |
| blackgatocatnegr | gigix, actually lubuntu 10.04 has a different kernel than modern lubuntu 12.04, and lubuntu treats it as a LTS release to keep support with old hardware | 18:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | blackgatocatnegr: 10.04 is no longer supported with the release of 12.04 | 18:23 |
| quixotedon | blackgatocatnegr: how's lubuntu compared to puppy, any explanation? | 18:23 |
| oros | is there any way to start a program from the terminal and then being able to close the terminal without quitting the program? Have tried the &, but it didn't work. What does it exactly do? | 18:24 |
| tata | thanks all | 18:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | quixotedon: They use different window managers is their biggest difference. Otherwise they are both capable of allowing you to use your favorite programs | 18:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | oros: You can try and use screen | 18:25 |
| blackgatocatnegr | pragmaticenigma, I will ask in the lubuntu channel to be sure, wait a while | 18:25 |
| oros | Ok, so ' screen xchat ' example, without the ' ofc | 18:26 |
| oros | ? | 18:26 |
| quixotedon | pragmaticenigma: i think ubuntu 10.04 is supported up to 3 years which ends next year | 18:26 |

| quixotedon | gigix: don't know whether it's lts or not | 18:26 |
| pragmaticenigma | Lubuntu does not use the LTS designation | 18:27 |
| TITO_ | can i install sony pc companion in ubuntu? | 18:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | Only Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu use the LTS. All of the other's are supported "spins" which cannot use the LTS label | 18:27 |
| TITO_ | Can i install sony pc companion in ubuntu? | 18:28 |
| sysdoc | !javaHL | 18:28 |
| gigix | I guess the LTS just gives you an idea of the length of support. Indeed Lubuntu 12.04 is 18 month support as opposed to the other *buntus supported for 3 years | 18:28 |
| pragmaticenigma | !wailt | TITO_ | 18:28 |
| gigix | and Ubuntu for 5 | 18:28 |

| Flippto | Okey guys, just tried the alternate CD for installation. Boot menu works fine, but after choosing "install ubuntu" my keyboard and mouse stops working. Any ideas ? Or is Ubuntu just not for me ? | 18:29 |
| TITO_ | k thanks | 18:30 |
| blackgatocatnegr | Flippto, so they work until you pick the install option? | 18:30 |
| gigix | After you've clicked install ubuntu, the alternate cd loads a minimal ubuntu kernel to allow you go through the installation | 18:30 |
| pragmaticenigma | Flippto: what is your CPU? | 18:30 |
| gigix | If that failed then it means your keyboard/mouse combo is just not recognized | 18:31 |
| Flippto | blackgatocatnegr, excactly | 18:31 |
| roasted_ | Question - I'm looking for a simple display manager. I want to enable a quick way to mirror displays or non-mirror displays. I looked at ARandR but I can't find mirror options on it. Is there anythign else out there besides the obvious hardware function keys? | 18:31 |
| xGrub11 | hello... everybody... :) | 18:31 |
| pragmaticenigma | gigix: It could also mean his system has "hung" because of a kernel panic | 18:31 |
| Flippto | pragmaticenigma, its an Intel Core i7-3820 | 18:31 |
| quixotedon | Flippto: did u install 64 or 32? | 18:32 |
| Flippto | 64bit | 18:32 |
| pragmaticenigma | Thanks Flippto, I had a similar issue with a Pentium 4 with HyperThreading, sadly my solution that's not going to work for you | 18:32 |

| mikeconcepts | kernel 3.2.0-24 usb cam Intel cs330 works, 3.2.0-25 it dosen't | 18:33 |
| xGrub11 | is somebody know NES emulator for xubuntu? thanks before? | 18:33 |
| Jordan_U | roasted_: Ubuntu's default "Displays" app does this. | 18:33 |
| Flippto | quixotedon, why is it risky | 18:33 |
| blackgatocatnegr | Flippto, that means ubuntu has support for your keyboard but some weird bug happens. oR you tried the cd running from windows? | 18:33 |
| quixotedon | Flippto: 64 is kinda unstable | 18:33 |
| pragmaticenigma | quixotedon: I'm running Ubuntu 64bit 12.04 on i7 without issue | 18:33 |
| quixotedon | pragmaticenigma: dunno but just have a freak on 64.. :d | 18:34 |
| Flippto | blackgatocatnegr, i restarted my pc and booted from cd, straight from bios, so no windows interference. | 18:34 |

| mons_ | # | 18:35 |
| pragmaticenigma | quixotedon: And with the 3.x kernel, 64bit is much better supported which is what 11.10 and up have been using | 18:35 |
| quixotedon | pragmaticenigma: heard so, but can not make it sure as there's practically no 64 to try on.. :d | 18:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | there are tons of CPUs on the market with 64 bit | 18:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | all of the Intel core i series are 64 bit | 18:36 |
| gigix | pretty much every of them now | 18:36 |
| Flippto | quixotedon, allmost every cpu coming out nowadays is 64bit. | 18:36 |
| Jordan_U | epinky: It's probably mounting read only because there is fileystem corruption which needs to be fixed, which may also mean that the hard drive hardware is dying. First step is to back up anything important. | 18:37 |
| blackgatocatnegr | Flippto, ok, that means is some kind of bug, When you installed using windows, did you pick the update while install and install restricted drivers options? | 18:37 |
| gigix | 64 bits is nothing to be afraid of if you're running pretty recent hardware tbh | 18:37 |

| gigix | I've got a Penryn processor ^^ | 18:38 |
| Flippto | blackgatocatnegr, when using wubi to install through windows, i dont have that option at all, it just downloads 12.04 64bit and installs. I only get to chance partition size and username/password. Thats it. | 18:38 |
| quixotedon | Flippto: so you install using wubi?? | 18:38 |
| pragmaticenigma | theseus: That is a question beyond the scope of this support.. | 18:38 |

| blackgatocatnegr | Flippto, wait 64 bit? How much ram do you have? | 18:39 |
| theseus | pragmaticenigma: lol, no its not. | 18:39 |
| Flippto | quixotedon, when installing through windows yes, but like i said before, i tried booting from cd straight from bios, but then i cant even get the install going because of the mouse and keyboard missing. | 18:39 |
| epinky | Jordan_U: what to do next? | 18:39 |
| Flippto | blackgatocatnegr, i have 32gb ;) So i have enough | 18:39 |
| pragmaticenigma | theseus: It is, your best bet is looking at KDE support forums | 18:40 |
| quixotedon | Flippto: ah, i see, what's the port of your mouse and keyboard? usb? | 18:40 |
| Flippto | quixotedon, yeah | 18:40 |
| micr0be | Damn, my wifi is not stable ... Sorry, but does someone telled me how can i configure gvfs-open ? | 18:40 |
| Flippto | quixotedon, tried both usb 2.0 and 3.0. | 18:40 |
| quixotedon | Flippto: but they work fine just on windows? | 18:41 |
| blackgatocatnegr | Flippto, you should have said that before, try borroring a regular mouse/ keyboard and install usb keyboard/mouse drivers | 18:41 |
| gigix | blackgatocatnegr: even 2 Gb would not change anything, using 64 bits is not pre-conditioned by your amount of RAM, just by whether your processor is able to handle it or not | 18:41 |
| Flippto | blackgatocatnegr i have noone to borrow from. everyone i know is on laptops. | 18:42 |
| Jordan_U | epinky: Run "dmesg" and see if it shows any relevant error messages (and pastebin the output too so that we can check it). | 18:42 |
| Flippto | quixotedon, yeah, works in the bios, in bootloaders, and windows. Only ubuntu is messing with it. | 18:42 |

| besTKoDerEverR | c64 | 18:43 |
| blackgatocatnegr | Flippto, well without a working mouse and or keyboard, there is not much you can do. | 18:43 |
| quixotedon | Flippto: so, actually before you came to the fault, you could still choose the options/whatsoever in the installation dialogue? is my understanding correct? | 18:43 |
| gigix | Flippto: Could you try another distrib, like Fedora just to see if this issue is proper to Ubuntu ? | 18:43 |
| Jordan_U | Flippto: I don't know how to get your keyboard and mouse working, but I can think of some interesting tricks to allow you to install ssh if you think that would be worth doing. | 18:43 |
| Flippto | blackgatocatnegr, i know, but i just cant grasp the fact that ubuntu doesnt have a universal driver for the standard keys. screw the media buttons, but the normal keys should work. | 18:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | roasted_: good idea is to search for the make and model of the laptop looking for hotkey support in forums... it's usually how I get those buttons to work properly | 18:44 |
| roasted_ | pragmaticenigma: well, that's not the entire goal. I want to have an alternative on the laptops *regardless*, so I'm still interested in finding alternative screen layout editors. | 18:44 |
| Jordan_U | Flippto: Do I understand correctly that these are wireless devices? | 18:44 |

| Voziv | Is there a way to run efsck -y on boot? | 18:45 |
| Jordan_U | !fsck | Voziv | 18:45 |
| ubottu | Voziv: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 18:45 |
| roasted_ | pragmaticenigma: I see, but do you know of any sort of simple gui to tweak it on the fly? | 18:45 |
| Flippto | Jordan_U, yeah, but logitech k800 and logitech performance MX should have drivers. | 18:45 |
| roasted_ | pragmaticenigma: or maybe, do you know of how ubuntu handles it under system settings - displays? | 18:45 |
| Voziv | Jordan_U: will that run it with -y? | 18:45 |
| Jordan_U | Flippto: Should according to what? | 18:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | roasted_: Usually there is a Display under system -> settings | 18:46 |
| Jordan_U | Voziv: I don't actually know, sorry. | 18:46 |
| roasted_ | pragmaticenigma: right, but do you know the name of that exact item by chance? | 18:46 |
| pragmaticenigma | roasted_: You may have to install xinerama to enable Ubuntu's "Display" application to know it can do mirroring | 18:46 |
| roasted_ | pragmaticenigma: I'm not entirely sure if we'll be using Unity or not, so whatever I choose I want it to work on several DEs that we might be going with. | 18:46 |
| Flippto | Jordan_U according to another website i found who showed a guy using it with ubuntu ;) | 18:46 |

| blackgatocatnegr | pablos99, xorg.conf does nor work in modern versions. try to sudo the Nvidia setup tool and save the settings there, then rebbot. | 18:58 |
| pragmaticenigma | !nice | pablos99 | 18:58 |
| ubottu | pablos99: 'Nice' is a property of a process that determines how willing it is to give CPU time to other processes. A higher value makes it more likely to give away time. A negative value makes it less likely. Values are from -19 to 19, with 0 being the default. For more information, type 'man nice' at a terminal. | 18:58 |
| gigix | Flippto, yes but if Fedora works and Ubuntu doesn't then we have a case of bad hardware detection | 18:58 |
| Flippto | theadmin, fantastic. So we are back to sqaure one. hehe | 18:58 |
| pragmaticenigma | pablos99: no one is assuming anything, but please be nice to those who are trying to help | 18:59 |
| Flippto | gigix, okey. | 18:59 |
| pablos99 | ok. | 18:59 |
| gigix | and hardware detection between Fedora and Ubuntu is likely to differ a bit. I saw that happening for a wireless card | 18:59 |
| pablos99 | Forget it guys. | 18:59 |
| pablos99 | I have another problem now | 18:59 |
| Jordan_U | Flippto: You can join #fedora for fedora support, and if Fedora works then we have a better idea of the scope of the problem. | 18:59 |
| pablos99 | My audio card is detected as Dummy Output in the sound manager :) | 18:59 |
| Flippto | Jordan_U, ill try it out and see what happens. | 18:59 |
| GeenAdmin | anyone know of a good program for ubuntu that checks a web site for dead links? Been using KlinkStatus and having mixed results. Also does anyone know of a good tool that makes XML sitemaps? | 19:00 |
| Flippto | Thanks for the help so far everyone, hopefully ill be back here soon ;) | 19:00 |
| pragmaticenigma | pablos99: Do you hear sounds coming from your computer? | 19:00 |
| Jordan_U | Flippto: If Fedora doesn't work and you want to try booting your Wubi install via a VM ping me in #vbox. | 19:00 |
| pablos99 | let me try :) | 19:00 |
| gigix | Flippto, there's nothing to be afraid with Fedora, it's pretty much the same user experience from a user point of view, just the way the distribution is packaged that changed | 19:00 |
| andai1 | What's the ubuntu advantage logo? | 19:01 |
| andai1 | It looks like a lambda with knees! | 19:01 |
| pablos99 | pragmaticenigma: No. I've removed some intel related xorg packages, could that be it? | 19:01 |
| pragmaticenigma | andai1: It is just a logo to help identify computers that are most compatible with Ubuntu releases | 19:01 |
| pragmaticenigma | pablos99: Yes | 19:01 |

| pablos99 | pragmaticenigma: One was something like. xorg intel video, and the other one, as a dep for the 1st. xorg video all or something | 19:02 |
| === LjL is now known as VemSkaSegra | ||
| pragmaticenigma | pablos99: Intel packages are sometimes interdependent. A graphics chip can be repurposed for audio but may still have a dependency on the video driver to get it working | 19:03 |
| pablos99 | pragmaticenigma: xserver-xorg-video-all and xserver-xorg-video-intel. Removed the intel one (the 1st one got removed too ) because I couldn't install my Nvidia drivers | 19:04 |
| pablos99 | pragmaticenigma: Should I install them both? | 19:04 |
| pragmaticenigma | pablos99: What is the make and model of your computer? | 19:04 |
| pragmaticenigma | pablos99: and is it a laptop or desktop | 19:05 |
| === jon__ is now known as jbohren | ||
| pablos99 | pragmaticenigma: old desktop. | 19:05 |
| pablos99 | pragmaticenigma: the audio card is internal. I guess it's realtek (in windows). In Linux, shows up as Intel HDA or something like that | 19:05 |
| pragmaticenigma | pablos99: does it have an onboard graphics chip as well as your Nvidia card? | 19:06 |
| pablos99 | pragmaticenigma: the MB does have onboard graphics. so is the audio | 19:06 |
| pablos99 | pragmaticenigma: the MB does have onboard graphics. so is the audio | 19:06 |
| gigix | pragmaticenigma, he said 8500 GT so no | 19:06 |
| pablos99 | pragmaticenigma: the intel video card is disabled though because I have the nvidia installed | 19:07 |
| pragmaticenigma | pablos99: Have you set BIOS to disable the on board graphics? | 19:07 |
| pablos99 | pragmaticenigma: It is disabled when an external card is present | 19:07 |
| gigix | pablos99, in theory yes | 19:08 |
| oros | Hi again | 19:08 |
| pablos99 | the intel driver was preinstalled, I guess it wasn't needed by the PC | 19:08 |
| pablos99 | could xserver-xorg-video-all be the problem? I have no idea | 19:09 |
| pablos99 | I will install it | 19:09 |
| oros | for some weird reason my flash (I think) have gone nuts. When viewing videos on youtube I can't use the "make larger" button (not the fullscreen one). Had some other issues as well. What can it be? the npviewer.bin? | 19:09 |
| pragmaticenigma | pablos99: The xserver-xorg-video-all contains generic graphics drivers for older hardware... but it may be needed by the Nvidia driver to work | 19:10 |
| pablos99 | pragmaticenigma: nvidia works, but the problem with the audio came after removing that intel video driver + xorg .... all | 19:10 |
| pablos99 | pragmaticenigma: installed xorg .... all. How do I '"reboot" the audio ? | 19:11 |
| pragmaticenigma | pablos99: There is a good chance they are required for the audio to work | 19:11 |
| pragmaticenigma | You will need to reboot the machine | 19:11 |
| pablos99 | oh | 19:11 |
| pablos99 | Ok. I'll come back :D . Ty | 19:11 |
| bvad | Question, Is it possible to set an environment variable in a .desktop file? Like I'd like to run this: "XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center sound" | 19:12 |
| mafiaboy | hi how do i change font size in xterm | 19:12 |
| pragmaticenigma | mafiaboy: Better to use a different terminal application | 19:13 |

| pablo99 | pragmaticenigma: "Built in Audio Analog Stereo". Works now, thanks. Weird though. | 19:15 |
| Lunar_Lander | short question | 19:15 |
| oros | What do you mean with "anything my problem looks like"? | 19:15 |
| Lunar_Lander | where can I get Lubuntu? | 19:16 |
| pablo99 | lunar_lander: www.lubuntu.net | 19:16 |
| Lunar_Lander | thanks! | 19:16 |
| donvito2 | whats for lubuntu? | 19:16 |
| pablo99 | ubuntu + lxde | 19:16 |
| pablo99 | lighter ubuntu | 19:16 |
| glitsj16 | oros: i wanted t ask if you get blueish tinted video in flash, but the smurfs showed up and things got .. well smurfed | 19:16 |
| donvito2 | thanks | 19:16 |
| oros | When i pressed the "bigger screen" button, it just got marked, but no effekt. I can't get some other effects on some flashsites aswell. | 19:16 |
| oros | can't log into grooveshark for example | 19:16 |
| oros | No, not any blueish video :) | 19:17 |
| mobman | hi all! how do i generate a list of packages that have been installed from source i.e. not involving apt or aptitude? | 19:17 |
| glitsj16 | oros: :) | 19:17 |
| beandog | mobman: you can't | 19:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | pablo99: Before you left I was going to mention... many chip manufacturers try to cut costs by putting multiple items on the same chip. A lot of onboard graphics chips also include the audio with them. In order to access the audio, the correct graphics driver has to be installed | 19:17 |
| === MoleMan_ is now known as MoleMan | ||
| beandog | mobman: they might be in /usr/local though | 19:17 |
| Chuck_Norris | !clone | mobman | 19:18 |
| ubottu | mobman: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate | 19:18 |
| donvito2 | lubuntu looks like windows 7 | 19:18 |
| pablo99 | pragmaticenigma: Didn't know that. Thanks. :) | 19:18 |
| donvito2 | why ppl install lxde | 19:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | mobman: Most of those applications should be installed in /usr/local or in /opt | 19:18 |
| mobman | thanks beandog | 19:18 |
| beandog | mobman: good luck | 19:18 |
| mobman | thanks Chuck_Norris | 19:18 |

| pablo99 | Chuck_norris: 259.49 | 19:20 |
| kandle | hello! | 19:20 |
| oros | glitsj16: I have version 11.2, the r202 (the latest I think) | 19:20 |
| frank_ | disconnect | 19:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | frank_: the command is /quit | 19:20 |
| beandog | pragmaticenigma: really? now that is odd. They don't both show up in the mixer and work independently? | 19:20 |
| micr0be | Sorry, but does someone know how can i change the default application opened by "gvfs-open" for a specific protocol ? | 19:20 |
| pablo99 | Hmm. found something. Let me test | 19:21 |
| glitsj16 | oros: yes, there goes the easy way out :) | 19:21 |
| oros | hehe :p | 19:21 |
| pragmaticenigma | beandog: No, the video card has no audio support, but it supports encryption which causes the tv to expect everything to come over the HDMI cable | 19:21 |
| Chuck_Norris | pablo99: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/nvidia ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade | 19:21 |

| Snyp | ati 5770 | 19:27 |
| Chuck_Norris | pablo99: the PPA that i gave you has the latest nvidia driver in it, 295.59 try it | 19:27 |
| Snyp | intel ci3 2100 | 19:27 |
| gigix | it's the fan of your graphic card that over-runs ? | 19:27 |
| Snyp | yes.. | 19:28 |
| micr0be | Thanks for your help guys, its really nice :) | 19:28 |
| gigix | Snyp, which driver are you using ? | 19:28 |
| Chuck_Norris | pablo99: is the latest stable nvidia driver | 19:28 |
| pablo99 | Chuck_norris: I have added before the x-swat one. The .59 does not work for me, wasted like 2 hours trying to get it to work | 19:28 |
| Snyp | ati fglrx or something like that, the one which was notified as "proprietary drivers available for your hardware" | 19:28 |
| pablo99 | Just removed the x-swat repo, now the nvidia-settings 259.53 is gone | 19:29 |
| pablo99 | I'll see if it works now. | 19:29 |
| Chuck_Norris | ok, remove x-swat, and install the PPA that i gave you recently | 19:29 |
| pablo99 | It's installed. but if it's for 259.59, won't work :| | 19:29 |
| andai1 | So I'm on Ubuntu live CD, and I have complaints! ( 1 ) Unity { eww } ( 2 ) touchpad not working. Can I run a command to enable it or something | 19:29 |
| Chuck_Norris | oh! sry, so if 259 doen't work so, idk but what is you nvidia card? | 19:29 |
| pablo99 | How can I see what version it has? Cannot see in Synaptic | 19:29 |
| oros | andai1: I know, I don't like untity either. Just downloaded the ubuntu and installed it from the dvd without the gui, though it was like back in the days ;) | 19:30 |
| glitsj16 | micr0be: gvfs-open is like xdg-open ... it opens files (on gvfs) with their registered default application .. something not working, erroring out in your case? | 19:30 |

| gigix | Snyp, it seems quite usual that graphics hardware heats up more than on Windows because of better driver | 19:30 |
| pablo99 | chuck_norris: not that. It's 259.49,. but the one I'll get if I upgrade | 19:31 |
| gigix | Snyp, if it reaches dangerous temperatures however, consider filing a bug | 19:31 |
| pablo99 | hmm | 19:31 |
| micr0be | glitsj16 thanks, in fact i want gvfs-open to use file-browser instead of web-browser for FTP protocol :) | 19:31 |
| pablo99 | ran the upgrade. | 19:31 |
| pablo99 | nothing was upgraded | 19:31 |
| Snyp | yeah.. it does reach some bad temperatures above 70 deg. :\ | 19:32 |
| andai1 | so my question without the fluff: LiveCD on laptop, touchpad dead ( was not dead in ubuntu in 2009 ) help? | 19:32 |
| Chuck_Norris | so, did you try 259.59? | 19:32 |
| TheJumper | good evening. is there anything like srs wow for pulseaudio? | 19:32 |
| Chuck_Norris | i had problems only with 295.40 | 19:32 |
| gigix | anything below 80 is usually ok | 19:32 |
| pablo99 | chuck_norris: I tried it before from the x swat. It did not work, and I switched to the default, post-release one, which is .49 | 19:32 |
| gigix | specially for powerful graphic cards | 19:33 |
| pablo99 | check_norris: I now have that ppa enabled but it does not get updated | 19:33 |
| Snyp | But the fan speed is so unusually fast.. and a constant speed. | 19:33 |
| Snyp | *at a | 19:33 |
| Chuck_Norris | pablo99: idk, if noone works idk how to do =( 302 was too unstable for me as well | 19:34 |
| gigix | Snyp, I've got a HD5830 and it's running hot as well. How was it without the fglrx driver ? | 19:34 |
| pablo99 | chuck_norris : 302? | 19:34 |
| Chuck_Norris | ye, but its beta | 19:34 |
| pablo99 | chuck_norris : are you running ubuntu? | 19:34 |
| Snyp | Same.. | 19:34 |
| Chuck_Norris | yes | 19:35 |
| pablo99 | chuck_norris: I have no idea. The PPA is enabled. It does not upgrade | 19:35 |
| BluesKaj | Chuck_Norris, pablo99 , i tried the 302 driver and it worked fine on 7600gt | 19:35 |
| andai1 | k, screw you guys, i'm gonna get a mouse >__> | 19:36 |
| Chuck_Norris | my gt 520, pablo99 which PPA? | 19:36 |
| pablo99 | http://ppa.launchpad.net/upubuntu-com/nvidia/ubuntu | 19:36 |
| pablo99 | that one | 19:36 |
| antoniuccio | to /home/antonio/.xchat2/buduscript | 19:37 |
| hilo | Can someone tell me if there is a way to compare files in a directory (recursively as well so that all subdirs are included), and then copy the changed and deleted files to a third location. The idea would be to do this before running rsync so that the files that get deleted and updated are backed up somewhere else. | 19:37 |
| gigix | Chuck_Norris, how many ppas have you tried so far ? | 19:37 |
| Chuck_Norris | gigix: a lot | 19:37 |
| Chuck_Norris | time to eat brb | 19:38 |
| pablo99 | Removed the newer ver. of nvidia-settings. Rebooting | 19:38 |
| gigix | Chuck_Norris, did you run ppa-purge to disable them and REVERT the changes done by each ppa ? | 19:38 |
| Chuck_Norris | launch* | 19:38 |
| BluesKaj | pablo99, have you tried the any proprietary drivers from the nvidia site | 19:38 |
| Chuck_Norris | gigix: no, i know about that command but, i just uncheck the PPA from "Software Sources" and then, sudo apt-get update, thats all, brb | 19:39 |
| andai1 | does ubuntu prevent you from connecting to ad hoc wifi? | 19:39 |
| glitsj16 | micr0be: have you tried setting your preferred ftp app via xdg-mime yet? like 'query default x-scheme-handler/ftp' to see your present ftp app and 'xdg-mime default /path/to/your/ftp/app.desktop x-scheme-handler/ftp' to change apps? I have no knowledge if gvfs-open picks defaults from mime or not, so this is another stab, not experience | 19:40 |
| gigix | Chuck_Norris, disabling the ppa undoes nothing unfortunately...you may have ended up with mixing version of packages from different ppa which is very bad. | 19:40 |
| andai1 | it's greyed out in the notification icon network selector, and when i go to Networks i can click on it but that doesn't do anything either | 19:40 |
| gigix | Chuck_Norris, so before trying out one ppa you have to ppa-purge the one you are currently trying | 19:41 |
| micr0be | Thanks glitsj16 i'm gonna check :) | 19:41 |
| flo1 | hi, I can't watch livestream tv with the lightspark or gnash plugin. can I do anything but install the adobe plugin? | 19:41 |
| pablo99 | :| | 19:42 |
| gigix | flo1, most of the livestream stuff uses recent version of flash, so unfortunately yes you have to. | 19:42 |
| glitsj16 | micr0be: if things don't work you can always fallback to what you had, so it's a safe attempt | 19:42 |
| micr0be | Okay :) so i dont risk to arm my system, great, thanks again | 19:43 |
| flo1 | gigix, thanks -- )-: grumble... | 19:43 |
| Chuck_Norris | gigix: i know i tell him disable the x-swat PPA and try the one i gave him | 19:44 |
| Chuck_Norris | gigix: why you question me? | 19:44 |
| gigix | Chuck_Norris, sorry mate I was confused | 19:44 |
| Chuck_Norris | i just uncheck the PPA and do: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade | 19:45 |
| Chuck_Norris | all are confused with and all searching fights whit me, idk why | 19:45 |
| Chuck_Norris | confused with me*... | 19:45 |
| pablo99 | Option "metamodes" "1280x1024_85 +0+0; 1280x1024 +0+0" Is this correct? It pisses me off already | 19:45 |
| gigix | Chuck_Norris, no no, unchecking the ppa just updates the package list available, but does not revert the changes | 19:45 |
| pablo99 | chuck_norris: could you pastebin your xorg.conf for me please?? | 19:46 |
| Chuck_Norris | yes is revert doing: sudo apt-get upgrade then | 19:46 |
| glitsj16 | micr0be: one thing that perhaps wasn't very clear in the code to change defaults (the second bit) ... it needs a .desktop file, so i assumed you woulb de familiar with making/editing those .. if needed we can help out there | 19:46 |

| ActionParsnip | Guest42694: I suggest you check the Ubuntu policy...it's fine | 20:14 |
| andai1 | ActionParsnip: Can't I just del everything but the homefolder? | 20:14 |
| gigix | andai1, backup | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | andai1: I guess, yu could do it in live CD, using backups is a bit more graceful | 20:15 |
| gigix | andai1, and create a separate /home directory on your next install | 20:15 |
| andai1 | ActionParsnip: By backup do you mean copy it somewhere else first, then copy it back? | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | andai1: yes, you should be doing that regularly in case your disk fails etc | 20:16 |

| andai1 | so, if I copy/rename my old home dir, are the accounts gonna show up in the login screen? | 20:18 |
| ActionParsnip | andai1: you will need to recreate the account(s) | 20:18 |
| andai1 | It's a few releases old, should I delete the configs too? | 20:18 |
| andai1 | ActionParsnip: and then copy all or part over them? | 20:18 |
| ActionParsnip | andai1: but the same home folder data may be used, I suggest you chown it to the user too to cover any access issues | 20:18 |
| andai1 | ActionParsnip: does ownership work on literal name strings, or numerical userids? i.e. if i recreate the accounts with the same names, won't they inherit the files | 20:20 |
| ActionParsnip | andai1: the names are just abstractions for UIDs | 20:20 |
| andai1 | ActionParsnip: so... maybe? :D | 20:20 |
| ActionParsnip | andai1: UIDs are numbers, so you will need to chown the data to the new user so that the right UID owns the data | 20:21 |

| ActionParsnip | a|i: if you run: cat /etc/passwd | grep $USER you will see the format | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | a|i: I believe it just means there isn't one | 20:25 |
| a|i | ActionParsnip: so where should the config files for nobody go? | 20:26 |

| ceti331__ | i like unity | 20:58 |
| Vexen | Which can be done by sudo apt-get install gnome-panel | 20:58 |
| Vexen | Ah. | 20:59 |
| ceti331__ | i like both | 20:59 |
| GeeksOnHugs | have you guys played with the disk ussage analyzer? It's the coolest disk analyzer ever, it's even fun...and it's a disk analyzer :P | 20:59 |
| ceti331__ | unlike the rest of the world, i think Unity's idea of unified menu/title bar is awesome, because the Amiga did it. | 20:59 |
| Vexen | Analize. Such a word. | 20:59 |
| zallx | any tuners around ? | 20:59 |
| zallx | tvtuners | 21:00 |
| celthunder | GeeksOnHugs: ? df du vmstat and iostat? | 21:00 |
| Vexen | I like that thing too. Only thing I really hate is lack of panel configuration options and the BAR. | 21:00 |

| celthunder | zallx: newegg.com / amazon.com | 21:00 |
| GeeksOnHugs | celthunder lol bra, what language is that | 21:00 |
| celthunder | GeeksOnHugs: uhm disk analyzer tools. | 21:01 |
| GeeksOnHugs | oh hehe | 21:01 |
| ceti331__ | is there a way of getting a single click icon for each desktop (with thumbnail relating to desktop contents) in ubuntu-unity | 21:01 |
| GeeksOnHugs | no, I'm new to ubuntu | 21:01 |
| GeeksOnHugs | i have a windows background, but I'm totally loving this | 21:01 |
| ceti331__ | ubuntu > windows | 21:01 |
| celthunder | ceti331__: yes probably. look at mouse settings. | 21:01 |
| GeeksOnHugs | I have the standard ubuntu desktop install and it has a program with a disk analyzer...ringcharts which I've never seen before | 21:02 |
| celthunder | you can usually set single/double click options | 21:02 |
| GeeksOnHugs | ceti331__ agreed | 21:02 |
| celthunder | GeeksOnHugs: meh. I will stick with the console | 21:02 |
| GeeksOnHugs | windows is easier, that's the only advantage...I have a SSD and my ubuntu loads up faster than my android tablet | 21:02 |
| guntbert | GeeksOnHugs: please keep in mind that this channel is for support - join #ubuntu-offtopic if you just want to chat about ubuntu | 21:02 |

| GeeksOnHugs | i7c I so hope to get there...when things go good it's no problem, but when I break something I can get lost...like I added a repository by the command line and it broke my ubuntu software center and I thought I was hosed (but eventually figured out how to edit a file called profiles to remove the added repositories | 21:05 |

| patc | hello, is it possible to mount a luks device on a remote computer using ssh, with the key-file being on the local computer? So we need to sudo cryptsetup luksopen...... and to pass the keyfile. Is this possible If yes, how please? | 21:09 |
| celthunder | Anjar_95: fdisk /dev/sda | 21:09 |
| celthunder | Anjar_95: then press p and itll show you your partitions | 21:10 |

| andai1 | patc | 21:14 |
| andai1 | celthunder: like... xubuntu-desktop? :P | 21:15 |
| celthunder | andai1: depends on your window and desktop manager combinations | 21:15 |
| patc | celthunder: euh... maybe... didn't think about that... the idea is to mount the luks drive and to backup to it... but i want to keep the keyfile with me | 21:15 |
| celthunder | andai1: probably should work with gdm / kdm by default | 21:15 |

| Brun0L3z | Hello people, just wanted to ask what is the best virtual machine for ubuntu? i have tried virtualbox and did not succeeed | 21:15 |
| celthunder | andai1: you can always add them if they dont show up | 21:15 |
| patc | celthunder: the luks drive is attached to the remote server | 21:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Brun0L3z: there is no single outright best of anything, on any OS | 21:16 |
| celthunder | Brun0L3z: depends on objective. im partial to kvm | 21:16 |
| andai1 | celthunder: unfortunately i have ... what's it called? the new one? :D | 21:16 |
| Mike9863 | I have a web server running on my computer, however I'm unable to access it via a virtualbox running on the same computer. Why is this? | 21:16 |

| patc | andai1: oki np :) | 21:16 |
| celthunder | andai1: idk? i dont use a desktop manager. | 21:16 |
| sacarlson | Mike9863: you might be running your virtualbox in nat mode, try it in bridge mode | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Mike9863: set the interface to bridged, you will get an IP from your router and appear on the same network, should help | 21:17 |
| celthunder | Mike9863: port/ip its listening on iptables file permissions... | 21:17 |

| ipv6hermit | hello people, I have a question I'm using xubuntu and I installed compiz. I run compiz --relace ccp and it starts normally. what is the proper way to make it the default window manager. I tried two ways and they do not seem to be reliable | 21:17 |
| andai1 | uh... anyone know how to add WM selection to the... ubuntu's new default login thing? | 21:17 |
| celthunder | n-iCe: enter the network manually on the ps3 it may not auto set itself up on adhoc | 21:17 |
| n-iCe | celthunder: tried, did not work :< | 21:18 |
| sacarlson | Mike9863: I would think even in nat mode you could see your web if you put the correct ip address that it see's it at | 21:18 |
| celthunder | ipv6hermit: .xinitrc | 21:18 |
| andai1 | ...anyone know what ubuntu's new login thing is _called_ ? | 21:18 |
| Mike9863 | Thanks everyone. That solved it. | 21:18 |

| sacarlson | Mike9863: ya maybe your apache2 isn't listening so take a peak at sudo netstat -pant | 21:19 |
| andai1 | ActionParsnip: Thanks! | 21:20 |
| ipv6hermit | celthunder: what do I add? | 21:20 |
| patc | Jordan_U: and for the "sudo " part?... needs to be root to mount... and I don't want to ssh as root... bad idea ;) | 21:20 |
| ActionParsnip | andai1: np | 21:20 |
| ipv6hermit | celthunder: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc??? | 21:20 |
| ipv6hermit | celthunder: or /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc? | 21:20 |
| celthunder | ipv6hermit: ~/.xinitrc . | 21:21 |
| ipv6hermit | celthunder: I don't have this file | 21:21 |
| celthunder | thats where i put all my mods and stuff. might have to put it in your desktop managers file if it doesnt execute your own .xinitrc (which is irritating if it doessnt) | 21:21 |
| ipv6hermit | celthunder: I added a /etc/xdg/autostart/compiz.desktop file and it did not always work. | 21:22 |
| ipv6hermit | which was irritating | 21:22 |
| GeeksOnHugs | ssta mneptopic, we got kick out of #undroid-offtopic for being too on topic :( where do we go now? | 21:23 |
| celthunder | ipv6hermit: then stop using crap that doesnt work or file a bug report after finding the problem ? | 21:23 |
| celthunder | GeeksOnHugs: to lunch | 21:23 |

| GeeksOnHugs | actually I have work todo, there's an idea...still amazes me how people goofed off at work off before computers | 21:25 |
| Jordan_U | patc: If it weren't for sudo I would say something like this: cat keyfile | ssh user@host "cryptsetup --keyfile - ..." | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | GeeksOnHugs: books exist | 21:25 |
| patc | Jordan_U: thansk for the idea, i'll have a look :) | 21:26 |
| Jordan_U | patc: Try asking in #bash for how best to work entering the password for sudo into that. | 21:26 |

| ipv6hermit | hey guys, what is the correct way to start compiz in a xfce4 session? | 21:30 |
| sacarlson | patc: you should be able to setup passwordless login over ssh if you setup keys for ssh on the server side if the admin on that side will set it up | 21:31 |

| MonkeyDust | Toph2 mind: your screen will start flashing on and off | 21:35 |
| patc | sacarlson: ssta: ok I understand. I would like to use the more secure option... if possible :) | 21:35 |
| vivek | How do I install Ubuntu 12.04 in text only mode ? | 21:36 |
| MonkeyDust | !text| vivek | 21:36 |
| ubottu | vivek: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 21:36 |
| Toph2 | MonkeyDust,,, my min, max , x icons haven't returned on the program I am running | 21:36 |
| sacarlson | patc: I think the other option is copy or symbolic link the mount command file or other commands you want from the /usr/sbin or /sbin to /bin or /usr/bin with perms of a group that you want to allow it | 21:36 |
| ssta | patc: it's against the rules to tell you how to setup passwordless sudo here. There are a lot of examples on the web though, your favourite search engine should find some | 21:37 |

| patc | ssta: yes ... this is the problem... and I would like to automate it... without compromizing security... so to pass it'0s password through ssh too would be great | 21:39 |
| MonkeyDust | vivek simply follow the instructions | 21:39 |
| sacarlson | patc: you still pass a password it's just keyed | 21:39 |
| patc | sacarlson: euh... the "sudo" password? | 21:40 |
| ssta | patc: no need for a password | 21:40 |

| MonkeyDust | vivek i guess you choose a different resolution before install starts | 21:41 |
| MonkeyDust | can choose* | 21:41 |
| patc | ssta: sacarlson: I think I must dig much deeper to make a better idea... I am almost new to all these remote tricks :) | 21:41 |
| vivek | How do I do that ? | 21:41 |
| sacarlson | patc: yes the sudoer think would require you setup sudo with nopassword for the group of commands to not require a password in your script | 21:42 |
| patc | sacarlson: yes understood, but isn't the most secure thing, is it? | 21:42 |
| vivek | MonkeyDust: How do I choose a different resolution ? | 21:42 |
| ssta | patc: secure is a tradeoff. It's generally secure if setup properly | 21:43 |
| patc | ssta: oki :) | 21:43 |

| ubottu | vivek: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 21:45 |
| patc | sacarlson: yes... it's just opening a cryptsetup drive.... hum.... still needs the password to do things... | 21:46 |

| patc | sacarlson: it's for personal purpose, but i use it to learn :) so I prefer to learn the best practices possible :) | 21:46 |

| funnyha | ActionParsnip, like if i have a list it will put it after word | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | kingnebex: the numbers down the left hand side are seconds since the kernel came up | 22:03 |
| funnyha | after every word | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | kingnebex: so large gaps in the time will indicate hangs and you can isolatethe issue as the hnags will explain the long boot | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | funnyha: not sure there man, #bash may have an idea | 22:03 |

| novochar | the ubuntu install asked if i wanted to encrypt the home folder and i indicated that i did and when it asked for me a password during the first boot into the system i closed the terminal window, how do set the password? | 22:30 |
| beandog | PsynoKhi0: what do you mean by not recognized? What hardware do you have | 22:30 |
| novochar | i can't seem to get the prompt again | 22:30 |
| PsynoKhi0 | beandog, spankin' new HD7770, aplay -l lists it as "HD-Audio Generic", lspci calls it "ATI Devuce aab0", dmesg throws lots of tantrum about too many HDMI devices, "hda-codec: out of range cmd" | 22:32 |
| Bryce | i was playing with raid and deleted the mbr on my /home partitions' hard drive. I am dual booting ubuntu studio and windows seven off of 128gb ssd with linux /home partition on a seperate 2tb hdd. i am hoping i can restore file allocation table for hhd without deleting the info. or at least transfer a compressed image of the partition without expensive software. | 22:33 |
| PsynoKhi0 | beandog, even got a dmesg backtrace, "Bad EIP value" | 22:34 |
| beandog | PsynoKhi0: is the hdmi showing up in your mixer? | 22:34 |
| Bryce | i did see the partition with some windows recovery software but would have to pay to use the save feature. | 22:34 |
| beandog | Bryce: are you trying to get the data off a windows partition or a linux one | 22:34 |
| PsynoKhi0 | beandog, the mixer won't launch, pavucontrol can't connect to the pulseaudio server | 22:34 |
| PsynoKhi0 | no sound whatsoever | 22:34 |
| beandog | PsynoKhi0: what about alsamixer | 22:34 |
| Bryce | linux ext 4 | 22:34 |
| beandog | Bryce: you could boot off a livecd, mount the drive, and get it that way easy enough | 22:35 |
| PsynoKhi0 | beandog, good call, let me check | 22:35 |
| PsynoKhi0 | beandog, alsamixer won't launch | 22:35 |
| beandog | PsynoKhi0: really. | 22:35 |
| beandog | PsynoKhi0: what version of ubuntu are you on | 22:35 |
| Bryce | im on a live boot right now but the hdd has no file system anymore | 22:35 |
| PsynoKhi0 | beandog, Precise | 22:35 |
| beandog | Bryce: so did you delete just the MBR or the entire drive's partition table? | 22:36 |
| Bryce | its unallocated | 22:36 |
| beandog | PsynoKhi0: Odd. So, ATI video card with HDMI out and it has onboard audio as well? | 22:36 |
| Bryce | the partition table | 22:36 |
| beandog | Bryce: huh, I dunno then | 22:36 |
| beandog | I'd be careful though | 22:36 |
| beandog | You can probably recover it though | 22:36 |
| PsynoKhi0 | beandog, onboard audio? you mean the graphics card or the motherboard? | 22:37 |
| beandog | PsynoKhi0: Either one. Does the HDMI port do both audio and video, is what I'm asking | 22:37 |
| Bryce | i know. i don't want any of it to get written over but i want to at least tranfer some of my big torrent downloads . | 22:37 |
| beandog | Bryce: Was it one partition or many? | 22:37 |
| Bryce | one partition | 22:38 |
| beandog | Oh | 22:38 |
| PsynoKhi0 | beandog, oy no clue, I'll check the manufacturer's spec page | 22:38 |
| beandog | Well you could try forcing it to mount | 22:38 |
| beandog | No idea what that'd do | 22:38 |
| beandog | PsynoKhi0: well, just answer me this, how are you getting sound? | 22:38 |
| Bryce | but the software that let me see it showed ever fat it ever had. the one i want came up as partition 19 | 22:38 |
| PsynoKhi0 | beandog, from the motherboard, not even using HDMI at all | 22:38 |
| Bryce | all other partitions were only a couple gigs at the biggest | 22:39 |
| beandog | PsynoKhi0: Oh. I totally misunderstood your original issue then. | 22:39 |
| beandog | Bryce: dunno, man. partition recovery is beyond my meager skills | 22:39 |
| PsynoKhi0 | beandog, more accurately, I SHOULD get sound from the motherboard, but the HDMI is supposed to be listed as a sound device, apparently cockblocking the whole sound subsystem since it's not recognized | 22:39 |
| Bryce | yeah. mine too. | 22:39 |
| beandog | PsynoKhi0: kk, can you pastebin dmesg, and aplay -l | 22:40 |
| PsynoKhi0 | beandog, can pastebing the whole alsa-script.sh output | 22:40 |
| PsynoKhi0 | pastebin* | 22:40 |

| wasanzy | <ActionParsnip>, what does that command do? | 23:17 |
| ActionParsnip | wasanzy: you don't set it in the default setup and the account is disabled | 23:17 |
| ActionParsnip | wasanzy: disables the account, as it should be | 23:17 |
| ActionParsnip | wasanzy: as you asked for... | 23:17 |
| wasanzy | ok | 23:18 |
| wasanzy | thank you. | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | wasanzy: I'd have thought that me replying to your question would immediately clarify what it did... | 23:18 |
| wasanzy | will I need to restart? | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | wasanzy: no it's all good to go | 23:18 |
| wasanzy | ok | 23:18 |

| ActionParsnip | wasanzy: np dude | 23:18 |
| beandog | ActionParsnip: cpu load | 23:19 |
| wawowe3 | beandog: uptime | 23:19 |

| wasanzy | am trying to select a wireless network from list of wireless networks and it is asing for root | 23:22 |
| ActionParsnip | wasanzy: should only ask for the wifi key, users can join and leave networks as they need | 23:23 |
| Cottus | CrazyGangster, firefox: about:config > WebGL | 23:23 |
| wasanzy | but that is not the case here, is rather asking for the root password to the machine | 23:24 |
| PsynoKhi0 | beandog, fglrx had nothin to do with it, though blacklisting snd_hda_codec_hdmi did the trick! | 23:24 |
| PsynoKhi0 | beandog, dmesg is now nice and clean | 23:24 |
| PsynoKhi0 | beandog, thanks for the hint | 23:25 |
| fellayaboy | whats the best terminal email client i can use that offers encryption...where my password and username cant get sniffed | 23:25 |
| CrazyGangster | ActionParsnip: i think i have... | 23:25 |
| CrazyGangster | Cottus: I will check... | 23:25 |
| Cottus | ok | 23:25 |

| beandog | fellayaboy: mutt ? | 23:26 |

| PsynoKhi0 | beandog, :D | 23:26 |
| fellayaboy | why dont i see encryption at 512bits or more | 23:26 |
| beandog | Python1320: fglrx ... I was trying to remember the module name, heh | 23:27 |
| fellayaboy | is it illegal to have encryption above 256bit? i read that it was | 23:27 |
| shadykhan | is there a program where i connect my android phone to my comp and have like a desktop sms system? with notifications and what not? | 23:27 |

| CrazyGangster | Cottus: http://i47.tinypic.com/34eyvzo.png | 23:31 |
| shadykhan | MonkeyDust, thanks ill look into it | 23:31 |
| PsynoKhi0 | mail is only for your LAN as think | 23:31 |
| Cottus | well , i don't know | 23:31 |
| CrazyGangster | ActionParsnip | 23:31 |
| fellayaboy | for your LAN?? | 23:32 |
| PsynoKhi0 | assuming the computer you use mail on is a server | 23:32 |
| Cottus | it is enabled | 23:32 |
| Myrtti | fellayaboy: mail can be aliased to mutt, much like www-browser is usually aliased to your preferred browser | 23:32 |
| fellayaboy | ooh | 23:32 |
| fellayaboy | i see | 23:32 |
| fellayaboy | hmmm | 23:32 |
| PsynoKhi0 | the mail command is to inform other users on your system if my memory serves me well | 23:32 |
| fellayaboy | well i guess ill look into mutt then | 23:32 |
| fellayaboy | oh so its for sending messages to local users on your pc? | 23:33 |
| PsynoKhi0 | yep | 23:33 |
| PsynoKhi0 | or not | 23:34 |

| MichaelGl | mail can be used to send mail normally to anyone.. | 23:39 |
| beandog | echo hello world | mail -s hello foo@gmail.com | 23:40 |
| MichaelGl | it's not the most user friendly interface.. | 23:40 |
| beandog | MichaelGl: agreed, it's a pain | 23:40 |
| PsynoKhi0 | MichaelGl, isn't that only for mailx? | 23:40 |
| MichaelGl | mailx has some more functionality | 23:41 |
| PsynoKhi0 | maybe was confusing it with wall | 23:41 |
| MichaelGl | i forget what exactly | 23:41 |
| MichaelGl | they're both very basic by today's standards | 23:41 |
| MichaelGl | really you can just telnet into a mail server and send email if you want | 23:42 |
| MonkeyDust | about mutt, what's an example of an MTA ? | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | MonkeyDust: postfix and sendmail are examples | 23:43 |
| beandog | smtp server | 23:44 |
| escott | beandog, i feel sorry for Mr Foo, i cant imagine how much junk mail he gets | 23:45 |

| escott | beandog, IANA owns example.com, so it is safe to use, but lots of stuff ends up being emailed to invalid domains all the time | 23:50 |
| beandog | escott: maybe it was a different domain | 23:51 |
| beandog | anyway | 23:51 |
