| andrewaclt | Pretty sure it runs on my coffee maker | 00:00 |
| escott | sabayonuser_, do you expect us to say "fedora"? | 00:01 |
| k1l | sabayonuser_: since you are in a ubuntu channel: try ubuntu | 00:01 |
| sabayonuser_ | should i stick with unity or go for gnome-shell | 00:01 |
| sabayonuser_ | there is kubuntu lubuntu which is the best | 00:02 |

| Myrtti | fizyplankton: no. | 00:02 |
| sabayonuser_ | yaa | 00:02 |
| escott | fizyplankton, yes | 00:03 |
| sabayonuser_ | first copy ur data to other hard drive then format it :D | 00:03 |
| escott | fizyplankton, use etunefs to enable whatever features you want | 00:03 |
| k1l | fizyplankton: better have a backup | 00:03 |
| sabayonuser_ | why do ubuntu use purple color | 00:04 |
| fizyplankton | sabayonuser_: escott Kil im upgrading hdds from 1tb to 2tb. g4l for some reason made it an ext2 partition. i have ample space to make backups | 00:04 |
| k1l | sabayonuser_: why not? | 00:04 |
| sabayonuser_ | default ubuntu is ugly | 00:04 |
| Myrtti | sabayonuser_: more incentive to make it look like yours then | 00:05 |
| linxeh | ugliness is subjective | 00:05 |
| k1l | sabayonuser_: then use another wallpaper | 00:05 |
| sabayonuser_ | orange icons should be replaced by faenza as default | 00:05 |

| fizyplankton | sdd7 is the partition i am trying to change from ext2 to ext3. if i copy sdd7 to sdd8, then wipe sdd7 to ext3, then copy the files manually back over, will it work (sdd7 is my main boot partition) | 00:06 |
| sabayonuser_ | hey people does females have any interest in ubuntu | 00:06 |
| escott | fizyplankton, unneccessary. just enable journaling | 00:06 |
| fizyplankton | escott: how? | 00:06 |

| Myrtti | sabayonuser_: #ubuntu-offtopic, please. | 00:07 |
| escott | fizyplankton, there really isn't any such thing as ext2 vs ext3 vs ext4. there is just "ext" with different features enabled. | 00:07 |
| fizyplankton | escott: but would the manual copy thing still work? will sdd7 still boot if i do that? | 00:09 |

| escott | fizyplankton, just backup your files to sdd8, then use tune2fs to enable the journal, fsck it and delete your backups | 00:10 |

| Guest47769 | wwwoooowww | 00:12 |
| Guest47769 | hi all | 00:12 |
| Jordan_U | escott: fizyplankton: UUIDs only change if you explicitly change them, or create a new filesystem (wiping out the old one) using mkfs. So you shouldn't have to worry about the UUID changing (though having two partitions containing filesystems with the same UUID could confuse many important tools). | 00:12 |
| inopinatus | it seems to be an intermittent race condition between mountall and plymouth crashing | 00:12 |
| fizyplankton | escott: escott not sure if this question makes any sense, but will tune2fs actually convert it, or do some funky trick to make it look like an ext3 without actually making it an ext3 | 00:12 |
| escott | fizyplankton, i dont know why you would do this unnecessary step. you could also move the data from sdd7 to sdd8, run a marathon, make the ext3, do 100 pushups, copy the data back, cure cancer... | 00:12 |
| escott | fizyplankton, ext3=ext2+journaling | 00:12 |

| Anom01y | yes | 00:22 |

| Anom01y | I've removed my .wine directory, and tried to run winecfg, but I still get lock isn't locked | 00:22 |
| chowder | Anom01y: have you made a forum post about it? | 00:23 |
| Jordan_U | Kevin__H: Can you pastebin the exact output of "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"? Also, why do you want a full Ubuntu Desktop on your server? | 00:23 |
| Anom01y | chowder, no, but its there already thought I might ask here | 00:24 |
| Kevin__H | I'm just trying to get a GUI | 00:24 |
| Kevin__H | so I don't have to use command line (for now) | 00:24 |
| chowder | Kevin__H: yeah but the commandline reveals information that people here can use to help you | 00:24 |
| csmith73 | command line is more fun :) | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | fire_x: check the file in /usr/share/applications check the Icon= line is pointing absolutely to the icon, staerting from '/' | 00:24 |
| fire_x | ActionParsnip:so what i believe is that when the new version installed then the previous one changes places but the icon assigned to the previous didnt change | 00:25 |

| fire_x | with firefox-1 | 00:31 |
| fire_x | firefox-13 | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | fire_x: you are linking it to firefox-13 as the existing /usr/bin/firefox is part of a package and the file will be overwritten when an update to the firefox package happens | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | fire_x: so we use a diffreent name | 00:32 |

| nathan_ | escott, I made (hand wrote based on a gentoo how to) the xorg because I couldn't get the "System>Preferences>Monitors" to see my second monitor. I didn't install fglrx but I'm not sure I need it either. putting in ati seems to no give me that error but still no dual monitors | 00:55 |
| marcavis | Jordan_U, oh, hi there :) - Hmm, you're right, I can get to the usual login screen... Where's my window manager configuration, then, inside ~ ? | 00:55 |
| UbuntuNoob | can someone help me i cannot install samba from any source it says unmet dependencies system-config-samba | 00:56 |
| UbuntuNoob | ?any idea whats wrong? | 00:56 |
| marcavis | I'm aware that can vary, I guess. Hmm, should be... lightdm? I'm never too sure what's what in these layers of gui things | 00:56 |
| escott | nathan_, not sure what to say. it doesn't look like a valid xorg.conf. nothing identifies the devices. you say "leftCard" and "rightCard" but that doesn't mean anything without reference to a PCI bus id | 00:57 |
| fire_x | can i get the last version of aurora via ppa? | 00:57 |
| nathan_ | escott any ideas on where I should go from here? most of the ubuntu documentation says xorg.conf is the old way and not to do it but I don't see any other way | 00:58 |
| UbuntuNoob | can some help me with samba? | 00:59 |
| violinappren | UbuntuNoob: how are you installing samba? | 00:59 |
| escott | nathan_, i would start by installing fglrx if you want an fglrx, then i would focus on getting one card to work before trying to add the second one in | 00:59 |
| UbuntuNoob | it wont let me install samba | 01:00 |
| UbuntuNoob | keeps saying | 01:00 |
| UbuntuNoob | samba: Depends: samba-common (= 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.1) but 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.1 is to be installed | 01:00 |

| ActionParsnip | fire_x: sure just add the arora ppa and install the package | 01:02 |
| UbuntuNoob | where do i get them and how do i add them | 01:02 |
| Jordan_U | marcavis: Yes, and you can also choose which session you want to use from the login screen (after selecting your user but before actually logging in). Try the Failsafe session. | 01:02 |
| violinappren | UbuntuNoob: im asking IF you did .. | 01:02 |
| UbuntuNoob | no i didnt use a command just used the software center | 01:03 |
| marcavis | Jordan_U, hmm I guess I should be using irssi as I try things out with sessions. Will do that soon... | 01:03 |

| Kevin__H | is there something I can do to fix that? | 01:22 |

| nydel | ActionParsnip: right but i could just do this: curl http://meerkat.cc/.myip.shtml | 01:25 |

| ActionParsnip | nydel: as far as I've seen, no | 01:26 |
| Kevin__H | looked like it worked guys, sudo apt-get update is working -- will that overwrite my sources.list file with an updated one ? etc? | 01:26 |

| === quixotedon is now known as donquixote | ||
| agc93 | http://pastebin.com/dJuZP0fz is the syslog entries for it | 02:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Kristian_: if you run: sudo lshw -C network what is the driver= bit for the wifi | 02:09 |
| escott | digitalcake, what would remounting do? | 02:10 |
| Kristian_ | actionparsnip: iwlwifi | 02:11 |
| === donquixote is now known as donkingkong | ||
| Kristian_ | driver version 3.2.0-23 generic-pae | 02:11 |
| === donkingkong is now known as ubuquix | ||
| marcavis | Okay, good news is I got back (or, well, moved forward) to a working kernel + nvidia driver configuration, but I still can't log into my main user account; where is the log of my window manager stored? I'm not too sure which one I'm using (lightdm?) so I'd like help with that too | 02:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Kristian_: try: echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf > /dev/null | 02:12 |
| === ubuquix is now known as quixotedon | ||
| agc93 | marcavis: /var/log/syslog often has log entries for displays | 02:12 |
| intrader | Anyone, I find the performance of unity slow - in this case is the action of the unit menu bar. It takes several stabbs with the mouse to popup the menu.. Is there a way to make the left bar always showing? | 02:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Kristian_: reboot to test | 02:13 |
| digitalcake | I thought it would remount with out the noexec | 02:13 |
| escott | digitalcake, why would it do that? | 02:14 |
| Kristian_ | actionparsnip: it said tee: /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi/conf: No such file or directory | 02:14 |
| digitalcake | I dont know maybe you do | 02:14 |
| escott | digitalcake, mount -o remount /whatever won't change any mount options | 02:14 |
| agc93 | intrader: do you have compiz config settings manager (CCSM) installed? | 02:14 |
| dax | intrader: There's an option for that in the Unity window in System Settings. I think it might be under Appearance in 12.04, I forget. | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Kristian_: /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf not /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi/conf | 02:15 |
| digitalcake | ok so how do I removed the noexec flag from temp | 02:15 |
| Kevin__H | anyone know how to enable remote desktop for ubuntu? | 02:15 |
| === hz is now known as stimoceiver | ||
| escott | digitalcake, man mount | grep exec | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: vino is installed by default | 02:15 |
| Kevin__H | I have ssh working through putty | 02:16 |
| Kevin__H | but I can't get remote desktop working | 02:16 |
| === quixotedon is now known as ubuquix | ||
| Kristian_ | actionparsnip: ah, right. did it, it went through. Restarting now | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: what is your intention once you get to the remote desktop? | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Kristian_: you gotta be accurate with commands dude | 02:17 |
| digitalcake | well since I really dont know what I'm doing reading the manual real didnt help. | 02:17 |
| digitalcake | really* | 02:17 |
| agc93 | intrader: if you're using 12.04 you can actually just set it from the Appearance Tab in System Settings | 02:17 |
| Kevin__H | uhh.. do stuff | 02:17 |
| Kevin__H | but it should work though right? | 02:18 |
| escott | digitalcake, im intentionally being obtuse, because you shouldnt be doing what you are doing. you should be using jockey-gtk | 02:18 |
| vadi2 | How to install Oracle (not openjdk or icedtea) web plugin for chrome on 12.04? | 02:18 |
| Kevin__H | when I enter the IP address that I use for ssh into remote connection, it doesn't work | 02:18 |
| Kristian_ | actionparsnip: I figured I messed that up. Uh, comp restarted, still no wifi. | 02:18 |
| digitalcake | well the fact is I made the mistake of running updates and now I cant install nvidia | 02:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: depending on what you are doing on the box, remote desktop may not be needed, there may be a sleeker option | 02:19 |
| Kevin__H | please explain | 02:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Kristian_: ok then delete the file you made. | 02:19 |
| Kristian_ | actionparsnip: brand new to Ubuntu. How do I do this? | 02:19 |
| digitalcake | for being a normal person who does not learn ever nook can cranny of ubuntu being able to install critical things such as the drivers for the video card could be a tone better | 02:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Kristian_: sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf | 02:20 |
| escott | digitalcake, like perhaps "jockey-gtk"? | 02:20 |
| Kristian_ | actionparsnip: alright, done. now what? | 02:20 |
| crackerjackz | digitalcake: if you experiment with other flavors of linux in a VM it will help you better understand how linux works | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: stuff like what? | 02:21 |
| digitalcake | is jockey-gtk a package? | 02:21 |
| wylde_ | digitalyes | 02:21 |
| digitalcake | apt-get returned nothing | 02:21 |
| Kevin__H | ActionParsnip: for example, I want to install a visual application that I want other machines to remotely connect to and use | 02:21 |
| bryce | i deleted the partition table off of the harddrive my /home folder was on and now am trying to recover some files. can anyone help? | 02:21 |
| escott | digitalcake, its the proprietary drivers program | 02:21 |
| crackerjackz | you can access jockey by going to system/administration/additional drivers in the app menu | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: makes sense then, you could use x forwarding and the app would appear to be a local app but run on the server (like citrix), depends if its appropriate etc | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | !vnc | Kevin__H | 02:22 |
| ubottu | Kevin__H: 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 | 02:22 |
| nathan_ | can anyone help me with my dual monitor set up, my lscpi, xorg.conf and log file is here | 02:22 |
| nathan_ | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1043304/ | 02:22 |
| escott | bryce, if all you deleted was the table you can just restore it and everything should be fine. so if you have a backup or know what the layout was you can use that. you can also use tools like testdisk to try and determine the layout | 02:22 |
| crackerjackz | bryce: immediately stop using that partition that your home directory is on don't let any more data get wrote to that partition | 02:22 |
| bryce | i was messing with raid and it said it deleted the mbr off of my hard drive. i found software in windows 7 that lets me look at the files that are there but i cant save unless i pay them. | 02:23 |
| crackerjackz | bryce: you can recover files / partitions with trinity rescue kit | 02:23 |
| rschwab | I'm having a hard time getting 12.04 started. I need to reset my user Id and password as I am trying to get wubi started. How would I do this? | 02:23 |
| bryce | i have not used it at all except to try top pull stuff off. | 02:23 |
| crackerjackz | bryce: boot trinity rescue kit from cd and use the tools on the cd to recover your files | 02:23 |
| Kristian_ | actionparsnip: anything else I can try to get my wifi working? | 02:24 |
| celthunder | Kristian_: what did you already tryy | 02:24 |
| crackerjackz | bryce: http://trinityhome.org | 02:24 |
| Kristian_ | celthunder: echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf > /dev/null | 02:25 |
| Kevin__H | ActionParsnip: can't I use the windows remote desktop instead of vnc? | 02:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Kristian_: could try ndiswrapper + windows driver , may help | 02:25 |
| bryce | thanks crackerjackz, im downloading the iso right now. | 02:26 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: XRDP is something I wouldn't try unless you really know what you're doing | 02:26 |
| Kristian_ | actionparsnip: how do I do that? | 02:26 |
| celthunder | Kristian_: why disable your driver ? | 02:26 |
| escott | Kristian_, and you ran update-initramfs and rebooted after that? | 02:26 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: reasons? slow? | 02:26 |
| Kristian_ | celthunder: eh, thats what actionparsnip was telling me to try. Then he had me delete my change | 02:26 |
| bryce | its relatively straightforward? im not a complete noob but im not the most advanced | 02:26 |
| Kristian_ | escott: didnt run update-initramfs | 02:27 |
| crackerjackz | bryce: i won't be able to guide you on how to use some of the tools because ive never been in your situation but ive used TRK for other things.. and i know ppl who have used TRK to recover files | 02:27 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: It can be a bit slow, but mostly its a serious pain to install and configure | 02:27 |
| bryce | that's cool. i can probably figure it out. i don't need the whole environment, just some of the files. | 02:28 |
| marcavis | agc93, there's a segfault near the end of my syslog, I... have no idea http://minus.com/mN67vvaAc/3 | 02:28 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: basically, I have a machine with a video card in it that I want other machines (without video cards) to remote to play minecraft on that machine remotely | 02:28 |
| marcavis | apt-check[2170]: segfault at 0 ip b7423af1 sp bfc61870 error 6 in libc-2.15.so[b72ee000+19f000] | 02:28 |
| Kristian_ | escott: i typed update-initramfs and it asked me what -letter thing I want to use | 02:29 |
| crackerjackz | bryce: what type of file system was your home directory on.. ext3? | 02:29 |
| bryce | ext 4 | 02:29 |
| Kristian_ | escott: -k, -c, -u, etc. | 02:29 |
| nottiredofthis | test | 02:30 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: you definitely dont want RDP for that. That much graphics would quickly overwhelm it and would lag like hell | 02:30 |
| escott | Kristian_, usually one would do -u or -k all | 02:30 |
| wylde_ | !test | 02:30 |
| ubottu | Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) | 02:30 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: If you have a decent network, just use VNC | 02:30 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: it's local | 02:30 |
| vadi2 | How to install Oracle (not openjdk or icedtea) web plugin for chrome on 12.04? | 02:30 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: decent being measured in mbps speed? I'm at 50mbps | 02:31 |
| escott | Kristian_, it may not be necessary. ActionParsnip knows what he is doing so if he didnt mention it its probably not needed | 02:31 |
| crackerjackz | bryce: http://trinityhome.org/Home/index.php?content=3.2_RECOVERING_DELETED_FILES_OR_FILES_FROM_FORMATT_1&front_id=12&lang=en&locale=en | 02:31 |
| Kristian_ | escott: I tried -u and it said permission denied | 02:31 |
| Cyclohexane | how do you tar multiple directories into one archive? but say 1 directory per command... | 02:31 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: 50? Is your network 10/100 or Gigabit? | 02:31 |
| escott | Kristian_, its a root command | 02:31 |
| bryce | but for the future whats the best filesystem for linux? im running windows 7 and ubuntu studio 12.04 dual boot off 128gb ssd with /home on seperate 2tb hhd. | 02:31 |
| Kristian_ | he said to reboot, which I did. he just didnt mention update-initramfs | 02:31 |
| dax | bryce: ext4 | 02:31 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: I'm inclined to say 10/100, but is there a way I can check? | 02:31 |
| Kristian_ | escott: so... what do I have to do? | 02:31 |
| agc93 | Do you use any switches or routers in your network? | 02:32 |
| crackerjackz | bryce: depends on what you want to accomplish, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems | 02:32 |
| escott | Kristian_, i haven't been following this beyond the one command you posted. | 02:32 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: just one, it's a wireless switch/router | 02:33 |
| bryce | Thanks very much crackerjackz im off to try trinity. | 02:33 |
| Kristian_ | escott: ah. Basically, Im trying to get wifi. I juuuust downloaded ubuntu, and the it wont connect. It detects the network, and asks for password, but wont actually connect to the internet | 02:33 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: my connection is directly broadcasted from it, it's an all in one | 02:33 |
| agc93 | So how is the computer connected to the router? Wireless or wired? | 02:34 |
| crackerjackz | Kevin__H: what type of encryption is your network using? | 02:34 |
| escott | Kristian_, yes i gathered that from your messing with an iw module. but i dont know how to fix it. i was just saying if you are changing /etc/modules you certainly need to reboot, and you might need to update the initramfs | 02:34 |
| Kristian_ | escott: oh, okay. | 02:34 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: the machine that I am trying to remotely connect to is hooked up wired | 02:35 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: and how old is the router? | 02:35 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: less than a year | 02:35 |
| escott | Cyclohexane, 1 directory per command? what do you mean | 02:35 |
| Kevin__H | crackerjackz: it's a wpa, tkip encryption | 02:35 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: Then its probably gigabit. And the other computers your going to connect from? Wired as well? | 02:36 |
| agc93 | woops, you're* | 02:36 |
| Kristian_ | so how does one go about using ndiswrapper? | 02:36 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: the one that is mainly going to be using minecraft is wired .. but I have intention to use wireless devices as well, and I'm also in the process of trying to figure out how to make it VPN as well so I can access it anywhere | 02:36 |
| Cyclohexane | escott: like tar cf dir1 then tar cf dir2 but add it to the same archive as dir1 | 02:37 |
| nathan_ | I really am lost with this dual monitor configuration all my latest attempts at config files and the log files are http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1043321/ | 02:37 |
| escott | Cyclohexane, --append or use xargs | 02:37 |
| Cyclohexane | escott: how would i use xargs? | 02:38 |
| agc93 | well, with the VPN I don't know thats going to work very well. Minecraft is not very resource-efficient when its run locally let alone over the Internet. For within your network, I would try VNC first and see how laggy it is. | 02:38 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: then , if that doesnt work, you can look at things like X forwarding or RDP | 02:38 |
| escott | Cyclohexane, something | xargs command --base | 02:40 |
| calamari | does ubuntu keep archives of packages for really old versions, like debian does? | 02:41 |
| dax | calamari: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ | 02:41 |
| escott | nathan_, that at least makes sense as an xorg.conf. what happens when you start the server? | 02:41 |
| nimbiotics | which would be the appropriate channel to ask a question about mencoder? TIA | 02:42 |
| nathan_ | escott, just one screen comes up | 02:43 |
| bazhang | !alis | nimbiotics have a search | 02:43 |
| ubottu | nimbiotics have a search: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 02:43 |
| nathan_ | escott, that screen is fine resolution wise and all and i don't get thrown to low graphics mode. But still no second screen | 02:43 |
| nimbiotics | escott: THANK YOU VERY MUCH! | 02:44 |
| escott | nimbiotics, ?? | 02:44 |
| escott | nathan_, so just the primary card. but the second display is blank? | 02:45 |
| nathan_ | escott, yes | 02:45 |
| trevorj | Hello all, is there a way to get multipath to not make all of my device nodes return EBUSY? | 02:45 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: so I need to install vnc on my windows machine and then just enter the IP address, bada boom bada bing? | 02:46 |
| agc93 | Wait, so the Windows machine is the one with the GPU you want to connect to, or the one you're trying to connect from? | 02:47 |
| escott | nathan_, well things i would do are clean up the xorg.conf by removing the ignored options like "Monitor-VGA" and "Right Of" there is also this warning (WW) R128(0): Direct rendering is not supported when VGA arb is necessary for the device | 02:47 |
| nimbiotics | xzxmsg alis help list | 02:48 |
| Kevin__H | the one I'm trying to connect from | 02:48 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: then yes, you will need a VNC client on that machine | 02:48 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: and that's it and I can just enter the ip address ( same way I've been sshing?) | 02:49 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: and you will need to configure the Ubuntu box you're connecting to by going to Desktop Sharing in System Settings and selecting allow other users to control your desktop | 02:49 |
| agc93 | note that with this method, only one device can actively use the Ubuntu host at a time | 02:50 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: can I do that from command line? I have my box all setup with power and network and that's it | 02:50 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: no problem with one at a time | 02:50 |
| agc93 | wait, what. How are you running minecraft on it? | 02:50 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: I haven't gotten that far yet :) | 02:50 |
| calamari | dax: thanks! | 02:51 |
| agc93 | well, you're going to struggle to run Minecraft without a GUI, aren't you? | 02:51 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: I'm trying to find and get repostories working, but apparently people are having difficulties with 12.04 -- apparently it worked on 11.04 | 02:51 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: yes.. However, I did this: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 02:51 |
| Alan502 | Hello. I have a squid server I am trying to set up to connect to another proxy server. However, I think it cannot connect to this other proxy server beacuse it is trying to look for it on my eth0 interface when it actually is on my wlan0 interface. Can I make an interface my "default" or "main" interface? | 02:51 |
| Alan502 | somewhere? | 02:52 |
| nathan_ | escott, I'm not seeing anything really helpful on google about that error message, I didn't notice it before | 02:52 |
| calamari | dax: I must be missing something.. I see installation cds but not the packages | 02:52 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: So how did you install Ubuntu in the first place? Alternate/server ISO? | 02:52 |
| === ubuquix is now known as quixotedon | ||
| dax | calamari: as with other mirrors, releases/ is installation ISOs, ubuntu/ is packages | 02:52 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: bootable cd | 02:52 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: bootable CD of what? If it was the Live CD, you should've automatically gotten a GUI | 02:53 |
| escott | nathan_, a couple lines after it is the only commend on the second device which mentions vga arbiters. i dont know what that means, but it might mean "you cant do this with ati drivers" | 02:53 |
| calamari | dax: oh cool, thanks again | 02:53 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: must not have been, after I installed, it loads command line and that's it | 02:53 |
| agc93 | What ISO did you put on the bootable CD? | 02:53 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: the server iso from the ubuntu website | 02:54 |
| agc93 | Right. Server version. Whole different deal. In that case, X forwarding through SSH is probably your best bet. | 02:54 |
| nathan_ | escott, thanks! I'm going to google a bit more and then give windows a shot. I'm that desperate. | 02:54 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: Do you have any GUI apps installed on your server? | 02:55 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: the only thing I did was install ubuntu-desktop, it took a while, and it installed open office, other stuff, etc.. so I assume so | 02:55 |
| escott | Kevin__H, do you have a monitor attached to this computer? | 02:56 |
| Kevin__H | escott: not right now, I am sshing to it to do work now -- when I did the base install and setup ssh I had it connected, but now I'm just sshing | 02:56 |
| escott | Kevin__H, X won't start unless you have a monitor so that would make vnc really hard | 02:57 |
| Kevin__H | escott: yeah, but can't I view what's going on from my remotely connected machine? | 02:58 |
| intrader | Anyone, I find the performance of unity slow - in this case is the action of the unit menu bar. It takes several stabbs with the mouse to popup the menu.. Is there a way to make the left bar always showing? | 02:58 |
| escott | Kevin__H, thats what ssh is for. | 02:58 |
| agc93 | intrader: like I said last time you asked, there is an option in the Appearance Dialog from System settings to keep it there | 02:59 |
| escott | Kevin__H, im sure there is something you can do to configure X to draw to a virtual monitor, but i have no idea what that would be, and it wouldnt be part of the standard install | 02:59 |
| Kevin__H | escott: I think this is getting overcomplicated, I've seen so many times before where there's a server off somewhere running, and people can remotely connect to it and see a desktop using remote desktop connection on windows, that's what I'm trying to do | 03:00 |
| Kevin__H | escott: but I think I messed up my server install because all I ended up with was just command line | 03:00 |
| agc93 | Thats how server installs work Kevin__H | 03:01 |
| intrader | agc93, sorry I missed it. I have set reveal sensitivity as high - I dont' see option to keep it displayed | 03:01 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: so maybe I should just install the regular home version of ubuntu rather than the server? I wanted to play around with some of the other features with server as well... | 03:02 |
| escott | Kevin__H, you might want Xvnc with vncserver | 03:02 |
| escott | Kevin__H, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/Xvnc4.1.html | 03:02 |
| agc93 | intrader: what version of Ubuntu are you using? | 03:02 |
| HelloComputer15 | mint 13 ftw | 03:03 |
| intrader | agc93, totally unintuitive 'Auto hide the Launcher 'off' . I am running 12.04 | 03:03 |
| agc93 | intrader: so that switch is set to off? Is the launcher still disappearing? Or is it right now? | 03:04 |
| intrader | agc93, totally unintuitive - it is poped up (showing) | 03:04 |
| agc93 | you were looking for it stay showing weren't you? | 03:05 |
| intrader | agc93, since this was my issue, it is Ok poped up. as to other performance issued - it takes multiple seconds to switch tabs or windows - most of the time | 03:06 |
| agc93 | thats odd. Have you tried switching to Unity 2D. It will perform better at the expense of some of the fancier effects | 03:07 |
| intrader | agc93, it appears that the machination to implment the title and top menus is what is taking time. | 03:07 |
| intrader | agc93, I have chosen 2D | 03:09 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: so how can I get a GUI for my machine? I am having trouble with VNC | 03:10 |
| lanotec | oi | 03:10 |
| === _alexis is now known as Earthling | ||
| agc93 | The easiest way would be to use the desktop ISO and then add any of the server components you wanted to use, but thats just me | 03:11 |
| willian | Hi. | 03:12 |
| reisio | hi | 03:12 |
| willian | whos work in distributed system | 03:12 |
| escott | Kevin__H, you can run an X server on your client and tunnel the X commands through the ssh connection to the server. this would allow you to run one off programs, but its not usually used to start full desktops. alternately you need to run some kind of X server like Xvnc on the server combined with a VNC server and use your vnc client on the client to access that | 03:12 |
| === Earthling is now known as jumpstart | ||
| Kevin__H | is there any way that I can add a GUI to my existing server? | 03:12 |
| reisio | Kevin__H: yup, but it'll make the server less secure and less efficient | 03:13 |
| agc93 | I believe thats what XNC does Kevin | 03:13 |
| agc93 | XVNC* | 03:13 |
| dax | !servergui | 03:13 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu server does not install a desktop environment or X11 by default in order to enhance security, efficiency and performance. !eBox provides a GUI system management option via a web interface. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI for more background and options. | 03:13 |
| Kevin__H | and I need a GUI to run applications like minecraft | 03:13 |
| celthunder | Kevin__H: run an x server on the server and then have the client (your desktop) connect to it....just like any other service | 03:13 |
| reisio | hey look, a parrot | 03:13 |
| reisio | Kevin__H: on a server? :p Why didn't you install the Desktop version? | 03:13 |
| Kevin__H | reisio: http://ihasahotdog.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/funny-dog-pictures-i-have-no-idea-what-im-doing.jpg | 03:14 |
| escott | Kevin__H, the main thing you need to understand about X servers is that they server screen space. that means no screen no X server. so you cant run a gui without a monitor. hence your remote client would need to have an Xserver if you want to use X (tunneled through ssh). Xvnc apparently knows how to trick X into using a "virtual" screen so that you can start the X server on the server | 03:15 |
| celthunder | Kevin__H: reisio just my opinion if you install X on something its not a server anymore its a glorified desktop that happens to serve | 03:15 |
| genii | escott: There are virtual X screen drivers as well | 03:15 |
| Kevin__H | here's what I don't understand... my work users Windows server 2003, and we can remotely connect to it using any other computer on the domain and it gives a full GUI (desktop environment of that machine) | 03:16 |
| === jumpstart is now known as redlight | ||
| Kevin__H | that's what I was hoping I'd be able to do | 03:16 |
| escott | genii, yeah but from the "ease of configuration perspective" i think its fair to say they dont exist. since he doesnt have a monitor attached to his server at the moment its going to be awkward for him to use X on the server (unless its Xvnc) | 03:16 |
| agc93 | Windows Server has a built in GUI | 03:16 |
| agc93 | Ubuntu is a pure server distribution and therefore does not have a GUI | 03:17 |
| reisio | Kevin__H: and it's much less efficient and less secure because of it | 03:17 |
| reisio | he means 'Ubuntu Server' is a pure server | 03:17 |
| reisio | celthunder: preaching to the choir | 03:17 |
| Kevin__H | so for my purposes of allowing other machines to use minecraft (other computers which don't have 3d acceleration), I should just do the ubuntu home edition? | 03:17 |
| agc93 | yes, correction noted. Windows Server is a GUI-driven OS requiring large amounts of resources. Ubuntu Server is a simpler pure server distribution thats lightweight as well | 03:17 |
| reisio | Kevin__H: mmm, you don't think the latency of the remote connection will be just as much of an issue as not having 3d acceleration? | 03:18 |
| ActionParsnip | agc93: Windows Core doesn't have a GUI actually | 03:18 |
| reisio | ActionParsnip: now if only anyone had mentioned 'Windows Core' | 03:18 |
| escott | Kevin__H, and for ease of use you might want to attach a display. but i would echo reisio's concern about latency | 03:18 |
| Kevin__H | interesting... well I thought I'd just play around with the ubuntu server -- what exactly can it do? | 03:18 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: its a Windows server OS | 03:18 |
| reisio | Kevin__H: now just having dumb terminals/monitors connected to the same computer, that could work | 03:19 |
| agc93 | Windows Core is also severely limited in functionality unfortunately. | 03:19 |
| reisio | Kevin__H: anything any OS can do, and more, but to do it the best way requires a little thought | 03:19 |
| reisio | ActionParsnip: tell me more | 03:19 |
| ActionParsnip | agc93: hardly, works great here | 03:19 |
| agc93 | ActionParsnip: really? I shall have to give it another try. | 03:19 |
| reisio | yup, Windows works great | 03:19 |
| reisio | that's why I use Linux, too | 03:19 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: its a windows server without all the GUI fluff, super slimmed down, really efficient but can be hard to work with at first | 03:20 |
| ActionParsnip | agc93: we use it here in clusters | 03:20 |
| gry | or you use x windows in linux | 03:20 |
| reisio | ActionParsnip: sorry I was being sarcastic | 03:20 |
| gry | np | 03:20 |
| reisio | nobody mentioned whatever you're talking about, it's irrelevant | 03:20 |
| trevorj | reisio: lol | 03:20 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: doesn't convey in text dude ;) | 03:20 |
| newtoubuntu | is this the right place to ask a ubuntu beginner query? | 03:20 |
| reisio | ActionParsnip: why I just said it | 03:20 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: sure | 03:20 |
| gry | newtoubuntu, yes | 03:20 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: 04:16 < agc93> Windows Server has a built in GUI | 03:20 |
| gry | newtoubuntu, welcome | 03:20 |
| reisio | ActionParsnip: it has | 03:21 |
| reisio | moving on | 03:21 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: was simply stating that they don't all have a gui ;) | 03:21 |
| echo083 | what is the alternate version of ubuntu ? | 03:21 |
| escott | !alternate | echo083 | 03:21 |
| ubottu | echo083: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 03:21 |
| reisio | ActionParsnip: they don't if you remove the GUI | 03:21 |
| ActionParsnip | echo083: installs a desktop OS in text mode | 03:21 |
| reisio | ActionParsnip: but surely that's obvious | 03:21 |
| echo083 | escott, cool thanks | 03:21 |
| escott | echo083, ie its the debian installer if you are familiar with debian | 03:21 |
| echo083 | escott, i just downloaded the classic version :( | 03:22 |
| echo083 | escott, nevermind :) | 03:22 |
| echo083 | escott, thanks | 03:22 |
| gry | is that what you wanted? | 03:22 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: exactly, so saying it has a GUI is inaccurate | 03:22 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: it has one by default, but is removable | 03:22 |
| reisio | ActionParsnip: 'it has one' your own words | 03:22 |
| reisio | can we move along now? | 03:22 |
| reisio | nobody brought this up but you anyways | 03:22 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: surelets move | 03:23 |
| Kevin__H | I'm still getting problems with "unable to locate package", I added lines to /etc/apt/sources.list and I did sudo apt-get update | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: what did you add? | 03:24 |
| Kevin__H | Is there anything I can do to automatically update and fix my repository problems? | 03:24 |
| agc93 | and what are you trying to install? | 03:24 |
| Kevin__H | openbox | 03:24 |
| Kevin__H | and java | 03:24 |
| pandu | opera van java | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: openbox is in the repos | 03:25 |
| newtoubuntu | i have windows 7 on partitionc: and my personal data on partition d:............ now i want to replace windows 7 with ubuntu without deleting d:..... how do i do that? c: drive is around 40gb. do i need to divide that space into separate partitions? i don't know what is swap space, ex4 etc exactly | 03:25 |
| Kelsie | Is there a list of active environment variables other than what the 'env' command displays? If I echo things that env does not show as set, sometimes they are showing up anyway. For instance if I run 'env -i /bin/bash', $PS1 is still populated, even though 'env' doesn't show it as set. | 03:25 |
| Kevin__H | sudo apt-get install openbox (this results in unable to find package) | 03:25 |
| gry | Kelsie: printenv ? | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !info openbox | 03:25 |
| ubottu | openbox (source: openbox): standards compliant, fast, light-weight, extensible window manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.5.0-2ubuntu2 (precise), package size 298 kB, installed size 1316 kB | 03:25 |
| genii | !info openbox | 03:25 |
| gry | Kevin__H: apt-get update, first | 03:26 |
| * genii slides ActionParsnip the winning mug of coffee | 03:26 | |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: do you have the universe repo enabled? | 03:26 |
| Kevin__H | Gry I did | 03:26 |
| Kevin__H | hang on | 03:26 |
| OerHeks | Kevin__H, adding lines to your sourceslist sometimes needs keys for those lines. | 03:26 |
| Kevin__H | This is my source.list file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1043374/ | 03:26 |
| escott | Kelsie, because bash will set ps1 | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: grep univer /etc/apt/sources.list | grep deb should show the deb lines, if they are commented, you need to uncomment them | 03:27 |
| Kelsie | escott: Is there a list of variables that are automatically set in that manner? $PATH seems to get set too | 03:27 |
| agc93 | kevin__h you need to enable universe repos | 03:27 |
| agc93 | they are not in your sources list so openbox will be unreachable | 03:27 |
| escott | Kelsie, trace the bash startup scripts /etc/profile and so on | 03:28 |
| Kevin__H | ActionParsnip: I did what you said | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: universe enabled, you can now run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install openbox | 03:29 |
| wolfgang | I changed a setting in my keyboard thing and i need to know how to restore to default it's all messed up. what do i do? | 03:29 |
| wolfgang | Hello? | 03:29 |
| agc93 | !patience | 03:30 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 03:30 |
| OerHeks | wolfgang use the reset to default in keysettings. | 03:30 |
| wolfgang | Where? | 03:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: better? | 03:30 |
| Kevin__H | ActionParsnip: you are more talented than I | 03:30 |
| Kevin__H | ActionParsnip: and yes | 03:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: been here a long time dude :) | 03:30 |
| Kevin__H | ActionParsnip: never mind.. it screwed up | 03:30 |
| harrrismrubin | why should i add ubuntu to my galaxy trab 2 10.1 | 03:31 |
| wolfgang | OerHeks: where is that? | 03:31 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: what now? | 03:31 |
| Kevin__H | ActionParsnip: unable to locate package openbox | 03:31 |
| agc93 | harrismrubin: what do you mean? | 03:31 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: have you enable the universe repos? | 03:31 |
| OerHeks | wolfgang, type 'key' in dash and it comes up | 03:31 |
| Kevin__H | I did the grep command that ActionParsnip said | 03:31 |
| Kevin__H | and updated | 03:31 |
| newtoubuntu | any guidance for me? | 03:31 |
| agc93 | ok yeah, you need to add the universe repos to your sources.lsit | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: the command doesn't change anything | 03:31 |
| physically_fit | hey what's the command to reinstall? sudo apt-get reinstall? how is it? help me. thanks. | 03:32 |
| Alan502 | Can someone help me with squid and using it to connect to another proxy? | 03:32 |
| wolfgang | OerHeks: im in settings how do i restore to default? | 03:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: it just shows you the lines with universe on | 03:32 |
| agc93 | physically_fit: its sudo apt-get install --reinstall | 03:32 |
| reisio | physically_fit: to reinstall what? Why? | 03:32 |
| physically_fit | oh thanks agc93 . reisio nevermind | 03:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: you'll need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file and uncomment those lines | 03:32 |
| wolfgang | OerHeks: im in settings how do i restore to default?v | 03:33 |
| OerHeks | wolfgang use the reset to default in keysettings. it looks like a button. | 03:33 |
| agc93 | ActionParsnip: the paste he uploaded didnt have any of the universe lines in it | 03:33 |

| ActionParsnip | agc93: dang | 03:33 |
| Kevin__H | is there somewhere I can get a complete sources.list? | 03:33 |
| Kevin__H | and copy/paste it in? | 03:33 |

| wolfgang | Oerheks, I'm in ubuntu 12.04 but i don't see a button | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: thats what I was thinking | 03:34 |
| Kevin__H | precise | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: gimme a sec | 03:34 |
| agc93 | kevin__h: use http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/01/restore-your-sources-list-to-defaults.html | 03:34 |

| escott | abhitest, chroot in. modify /etc/default/grub, update-grub | 03:34 |
| abhitest | escott: how to chroot? and what to modify? | 03:34 |
| escott | !chroot | abhitest | 03:34 |
| ubottu | abhitest: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1043382/ | 03:34 |
| abhitest | what to modify inside grub? | 03:34 |
| OerHeks | wolfgang , you don;t look hard enough, can't help you then. | 03:34 |
| wolfgang | Oerheks, I'm in ubuntu 12.04 but i don't see a button | 03:35 |
| wolfgang | sorry | 03:35 |
| wolfgang | hold on | 03:35 |
| abhitest | escott: but in my ubuntu installation / and /boot are separate | 03:35 |
| Kevin__H | ActionParsnip: copy and overwrite that one? | 03:35 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: Nevermind, use ActionParsnip's file, it will be easier | 03:35 |
| escott | abhitest, once you look at /etc/default/grub it should be fairly clear what the relevant options are. | 03:35 |
| agc93 | overwrite your current sources.list, yes | 03:35 |
| escott | abhitest, so? | 03:35 |
| ActionParsnip | abhitest: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video | 03:35 |
| FLJohn | Issue with HP printer | 03:35 |
| wolfgang | OerHeks, there is no button I have looked all over it | 03:36 |
| abhitest | escott: chroot will just mount / and not the /boot right? or not? | 03:36 |
| agc93 | FLJohn: you need to be more specific | 03:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevin__H: sure, that's mine, just with the partner repo enabled and so on | 03:36 |
| escott | abhitest, chroot doesn't mount anything. you have to do the mounts before you call chroot | 03:36 |
| FLJohn | Bought Aftermarket ink that was refilled and the printer reads the cartridges that they have been empty and not usable | 03:36 |
| newtoubuntu | gry any advice? | 03:36 |
| abhitest | escott: ok | 03:36 |
| abhitest | ActionParsnip: checking | 03:36 |
| Kevin__H | ActionParsnip: aiet, I am going to update now | 03:37 |
| escott | abhitest, you need to mount your system root, your /boot, bind mount your dev, maybe also your proc and sys, and then you can chroot in | 03:37 |
| physically_fit | what happened to the Linux flash versions? we are way behind the other OS. it wasn't that way before. | 03:37 |
| agc93 | FLJohn: this is an Ubuntu support channel, thats probably something that HP support will need to help you with | 03:37 |
| abhitest | escott: ok | 03:37 |
| agc93 | physically_fit: adobe stopped supporting Linux | 03:37 |
| escott | abhitest, also if your fedora is 32bit and ubuntu is 64bit chroot wont work | 03:37 |
| FLJohn | Is there an hp support room. | 03:37 |
| wolfgang | OerHeks: please Help it's just not there. | 03:37 |
| physically_fit | agc93, OMG | 03:37 |
| genii | physically_fit: Right on their site, Adobe states they will no longer develop it, only support the last version | 03:38 |
| Alan502 | I beg for help with squid I'm desperate to set up my Internet connection please ! :D | 03:38 |
| reisio | FLJohn: probably, why do you ask? | 03:38 |
| abhitest | escott: :-o right. my fedora is 32 bit. and ubuntu 64 bit. | 03:38 |
| reisio | Alan502: #squid ? | 03:38 |
| agc93 | FLJohn: I have no idea, just google for it or something | 03:38 |
| physically_fit | agc genii what are we goona do? | 03:38 |
| abhitest | escott: any other way? | 03:38 |
| FLJohn | tried that already | 03:38 |
| Alan502 | reisio: nobody answering :( | 03:38 |
| reisio | Alan502: well it is late, on Friday | 03:38 |
| agc93 | physically_fit: keep using the current one until HTML5 catches on, I guess | 03:38 |
| FLJohn | Tried to google my issue. Thanks for help | 03:38 |
| Alan502 | reisio: i guess so | 03:39 |
| genii | physically_fit: Support gnash? | 03:39 |
| ActionParsnip | physically_fit: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/02/adobe-adandons-flash-on-linux | 03:39 |
| escott | abhitest, livecd | 03:39 |
| wolfgang | OerHeks: please Help it's just not there. | 03:39 |
| reisio | HTML5 is not a replacement for Flash :p | 03:39 |
| somethinginteres | I am looking for a PDF reading program that can highlight text text in different colours. Any suggestions? | 03:39 |
| Alan502 | reisio: meh, I have been reading tons of articles about squid, routing, etc but with no success so far :( | 03:39 |
| reisio | not any more than HTML4 was, anyways | 03:39 |
| reisio | Alan502: maybe if you tried to be more positive | 03:39 |
| Alan502 | reisio: :P | 03:40 |
| Twinlator | How to connect MySQL by LibreOffice Base? | 03:40 |
| abhitest | escott: ActionParsnip i can mount my ubuntu /boot using nautilus does that help? | 03:40 |
| OerHeks | wolfgang, this is what i see, ( in dutch) http://picpaste.com/pics/keyboard-Qdwcw3vL.1339817984.png | 03:40 |
| Alan502 | yey I can do this! | 03:40 |
| abhitest | escott: ActionParsnip and i can see grub.cfg file there inside grub folder | 03:40 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio any other places i can look for help? | 03:40 |
| ActionParsnip | abhitest: the guide shows the commands to run to mount the partitions and systems, then chroot | 03:40 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: for what? | 03:40 |
| reisio | with what* | 03:40 |
| abhitest | ActionParsnip: this is live fedora. no plugins to view the video! :-( | 03:40 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio i have windows 7 on partitionc: and my personal data on partition d:............ now i want to replace windows 7 with ubuntu without deleting d:..... how do i do that? c: drive is around 40gb. do i need to divide that space into separate partitions? i don't know what is swap space, ex4 etc exactly | 03:41 |
| physically_fit | ActionParsnip, thanks | 03:41 |
| wolfgang | Oerheks, thank sorry i didn't check layout. | 03:41 |
| ActionParsnip | abhitest: no need for the video, the text is all you need | 03:41 |
| wolfgang | By | 03:41 |
| abhitest | ActionParsnip: ok | 03:41 |
| agc93 | newtobuntu: just install only on the partition that currently has C: on it. Ubuntu will ignore the other parition | 03:41 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: you want to delete C and keep D? | 03:41 |
| escott | abhitest, you could do a onetime edit just to boot. or go find a ps2 keyboard | 03:42 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio yes | 03:42 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: IIRC the first window of the installer offers you two options, the second of which is 'Something Else', which is what you want | 03:42 |
| abhitest | escott: ok | 03:42 |
| wolfgang | OerHeks, that didn't seem to fix it... | 03:42 |
| escott | newtoubuntu, dont do that you need windows to repair ntfs if it is ever corrupted | 03:42 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MlKTWt0GDyE/T5mfyqJ9A1I/AAAAAAAAACo/WQQw4XiyKDQ/s1600/Ubuntu+installtion+step+3.jpg | 03:43 |
| reisio | escott: or he could copy his data over to his ext partitions and remake his "D" drive later | 03:43 |
| newtoubuntu | escott so what do you recommend? | 03:44 |
| escott | reisio, was brushing my teeth so trying to type less. newtoubuntu shouldn't do this naively (just replacing C with ubuntu) | 03:44 |
| abhitest | escott: how can i add this liveuser to the sudoers list? so that i can edit? | 03:45 |
| reisio | I don't see a problem with it | 03:45 |
| escott | newtoubuntu, if you want a full break from windows you will need to move any data on "D:" out of the NTFS to a new partition. ie you will effectively double the disk usage of your data for a time. | 03:45 |
| Kevin__H | two question: repository for java? also, how can I check that openbox is installed and working? Can I use VNC now? | 03:45 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: the only concern is if your D "drive" file system is trivially corrupted in the near future and you don't have Windows to fsck (FS-check) it | 03:45 |
| riz0n | Hey. I have an older Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server. I want to migrate to a new server running 12.04 LTS. I set the server up and copied the user dirs over, but could not get the email portion to work properly. Can somoene walk me through the prpoer method to migrate a Linux configuration from one machine to another? | 03:45 |
| wolfgang | OerHeks, it was in repeat keys, i chngedd something like and idiot and don't know how to fix i moved bars around | 03:46 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: the best solution to that is to not use NTFS, to copy that data to a native linux file system | 03:46 |
| escott | abhitest, sudo chroot, gives you a uid 0 chroot | 03:46 |
| wolfgang | OerHeks, it was in repeat keys, i chngedd something like and idiot and don't know how to fix i moved bars around | 03:46 |
| abhitest | escott: sudo chroot liveuser is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. | 03:46 |
| agc93 | Kevin__H: there are a number of different forms of java. Do you need the JRE, the JDK or the plugin? | 03:46 |
| Alan502 | I just installed squid and port 3128 does not seem to be open to receive requests why could this be? | 03:46 |
| escott | abhitest, i have no idea what you are doing or what liveuser is | 03:47 |
| wolfgang | OerHeks, Do you know how to fix? | 03:47 |
| Kevin__H | agc93: Just jre for now, but I'd like to get everything | 03:47 |
| abhitest | escott: liveuser is when we are running fedora from live usb media | 03:47 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio escott ok i can copy data to my other computer, then? | 03:47 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: do you have another computer that has Windows on it? | 03:47 |
| newtoubuntu | yes | 03:47 |
| escott | newtoubuntu, anywhere you want. but don't remove windows and then keep important data on NTFS | 03:47 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: this "D" drive, is it removable, or internal? | 03:47 |
| wolfgang | OerHeks, Very sorry i fixed thaqnk you for you time | 03:48 |
| newtoubuntu | internal - logical partition, i suppose | 03:48 |
| escott | abhitest, i thought fedora was a no-go because of the architecture issues | 03:48 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio escott internal - logical partition, i suppose | 03:48 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: how much data is on D? | 03:49 |
| abhitest | escott: i was just trying to directly edit /etc/default/grub from fedora. but i think now i should try ubuntu. i just remember that i have one extra ubuntu beta in my backup hdd i will go and run it. thank you for your efforts escott and ActionParsnip brb :-) | 03:49 |
| escott | abhitest, if you need root access in a chroot you sudo prior to the chroot call. so sudo -i; blah blah blah; chroot or sudo chroot /path/to/whatever | 03:50 |
| newtoubuntu | 200gb but the essential part is around 40gb | 03:50 |
| abhitest | escott: ok | 03:50 |
| abhitest | brb | 03:50 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio escott 200gb but the essential part is around 40gb | 03:50 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: so it won't fit on C? | 03:50 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: will it fit on your other computer's disk/s? | 03:50 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio escott no c: is 40 gb | 03:50 |
| simplew | how do i check services in ubuntu? | 03:51 |
| escott | newtoubuntu, so you could install ubuntu (thats 20GB or less) and create a new partition for your data which is ext4, then move all the data from the NTFS "D:" to that partition, and then delete the NTFS parittion | 03:51 |
| reisio | escott: nope, he doesn't have the space | 03:51 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: will it fit on your other computer's disk/s? | 03:51 |
| reisio | will the data on D fit* | 03:52 |
| escott | reisio, i typed that all out before he corrected himself | 03:52 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio not the one i'm trying to install ubuntu on | 03:52 |
| reisio | escott: so? | 03:52 |
| reisio | you want me to take you out of the 'wrong forever' column, is that it? | 03:52 |
| reisio | too bad, I never put you there in the first place | 03:52 |
| escott | reisio, just saying i didnt see his correction is all | 03:53 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: so the data on D fits nowhere on any disk you have except where it is right now? | 03:53 |
| reisio | escott: I don't care either way | 03:53 |
| newtoubuntu | escott what all partitions of what types do i need to safely use ubuntu... as in d: on windows.. although microsoft doesn't tell you, d: is essential | 03:53 |
| escott | reisio, then why are you bugging me about it if you dont care? | 03:53 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: usually you want two, one for / and one for swap | 03:53 |
| reisio | escott: you're bugging me dude | 03:54 |
| simplew | how is possible to check services in ubuntu??? | 03:54 |
| reisio | simplew: check for what? | 03:54 |
| escott | newtoubuntu, you don't want you family photos on an NTFS partition on an internal drive if you dont have windows. its just a recipe for heartache down the road. | 03:55 |
| reisio | simplew: try man service | 03:55 |
| simplew | ubuntu still uses SysVinit? | 03:55 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: can you answer my last question? | 03:55 |
| reisio | simplew: it uses upstart, IIRC | 03:55 |
| escott | newtoubuntu, by removing "C:" and replacing it with ubuntu you get 40GB of space that is ext4. Ubuntu will take 10-20GB. so if you photos other personal data are <20GB you can put that on the ubuntu partition and then delete the "D:" | 03:55 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio one "guide" said something about three or four different partitions for programs, data etc | 03:56 |
| escott | simplew, server --status-all | 03:56 |
| reisio | and we already know they _aren't_ <20GB... | 03:56 |
| simplew | isnt there a GUI to handle services? | 03:56 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: that's for people who know a lot about the system and what they're doing, you can try that later if you like | 03:56 |
| reisio | simplew: probably | 03:56 |
| escott | newtoubuntu, otherwise you need another place to put those files while you transition | 03:56 |
| taipres | can you give me a package to install with apt-get that asks more than 1 question please | 03:56 |
| taipres | trying to test something | 03:56 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio but what if my ubuntu becomes corrupt, and i have to reformat | 03:57 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: only a backup system protects fully against "corruption" | 03:57 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio escott you mean a external hard disk is essential? | 03:58 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: no, but redundant copies of data you care about is | 03:58 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio escott if i want to keep data safe | 03:58 |
| reisio | external hard disks are one cheap way to achieve that | 03:59 |
| i45 | help: can i somehow print or echo EOF (CTRL+D) to stdin? i am trying to pipe text and it just keeps waiting for me to end | 03:59 |
| d33wakar | taipres mine always ask two or more | 03:59 |
| d33wakar | taipres what are you testing btw | 04:00 |
| escott | i45, ctrl-D doesnt work? | 04:00 |
| taipres | d33 bash automation, so I don't have to input stuff | 04:00 |
| escott | i45, how did you start this pipe? | 04:00 |
| taipres | got to work with 1 thing need to test multiple | 04:00 |
| i45 | escott: it works, but i need to pipe it w/o me pressing it | 04:00 |
| i45 | echo "xx" | app | 04:00 |
| escott | i45, probably something like "echo -e \0" | 04:01 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio escott about your earlier question, "newtoubuntu: so the data on D fits nowhere on any disk you have except where it is right now?"... if you could tell me what exactly would i need to do, it might | 04:01 |
| taipres | try echo "xx\n" | 04:01 |
| taipres | or rather | 04:01 |
| taipres | printf "%s\n" yourtext | app | 04:02 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: is there any computer hard drive you have access to that you can move the data on D to, even temporarily? | 04:02 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio i have a separate computer.. but moving the data would take some time | 04:03 |
| escott | newtoubuntu, depends on how close to fitting it is. one thing you could do is boot the livecd/installcd and say "try ubuntu", then use gparted to remove the unneeded windows partition and create a new partition (which will be your /home) in its place. and copy your data to that partition. verify it is all there. then delete the D: partition and install ubuntu to the empty space where D: was, reboot to ubuntu, and then fixup things so you | 04:03 |
| escott | r /home is what was the C: partition and now has your data | 04:03 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: yes, depending on your network speed it might | 04:04 |
| d33wakar | whenever i use apt-get , it always warns me that the packages are not verified | 04:04 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: you could take the hard disk out and connect it to the other box to do it faster | 04:04 |
| escott | newtoubuntu, but if you have 101GB of data on a 200GB drive it will never be possible to move it. if you have >40GB of data and the only way to free space is to delete C: or resize D: it might be possible if you go through a resize process but thats really timeconsuming and itself puts the data at risk | 04:05 |
| d33wakar | "these packages could not be verified , do you want to continue?' | 04:05 |
| d33wakar | and i can't install anything from software center | 04:05 |
| ACommandForWar | why isnt ubuntu as successfully as microsoft? | 04:05 |
| escott | taipres, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/463913/how-would-you-represent-eof-in-bash | 04:06 |

| pengwu | if i want to tiger a syscall in terminal what should i do ??? e.g: getpid() | 04:06 |
| KRomeleoN | if you count android, doesnt linux outsell windows os daily? | 04:07 |
| pengwu | i tied just type getpid() and the terminal was got into > | 04:07 |
| simplew | how can i check the existent groups? | 04:07 |
| reisio | KRomeleoN: I'm not sure free copies count as outselling | 04:07 |
| reisio | KRomeleoN: more popular, sure | 04:07 |
| escott | simplew, groups | 04:07 |
| simplew | isnt there a gui? | 04:07 |
| reisio | KRomeleoN: probably even without Android factored in | 04:07 |
| reisio | simplew: there is, yes | 04:08 |
| i45 | taipres, escott thanks, the problem was somethine else though heh :) | 04:08 |
| simplew | kuser uses to show the users and groups, but the gnome tool for user acconts does not | 04:08 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio escott ok let me check how much data is exactly there and then i get back to you | 04:09 |
| d33wakar | apt-get always warns me about untrusted packages | 04:09 |
| d33wakar | does anyone know whaht might cause this | 04:09 |
| escott | d33wakar, thats either because they arent signed or are signed with a key that is not recognized | 04:09 |
| escott | d33wakar, which one is it? | 04:09 |
| d33wakar | escott it asks for every single of them | 04:10 |
| riz0n | OK So I am about ready to throw Ubuntu out. I set up a new ubuntu 12.04 LTS, copied all my files, spent hours getting dovecot to work, but when I try to send mail, it never delivers, if I try to send mail *through* the server, it just asks for authentication. So I went to the OLD server (running 10.04) and tried to do a "package update"... I thought that Ubuntu was supposed to update to the | 04:10 |
| riz0n | newest LTS when it came out? What is going on here? | 04:10 |
| d33wakar | and i can't install via software center | 04:10 |
| escott | d33wakar, and is it saying that the signing key (with some hex identifier ABCDE12345) is untrusted or is it just saying "this is unsigned" | 04:10 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio escott also could i just see somehow only see your messages without all the messages crowding my screen | 04:11 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio escott i'm using webchat.freenode.net | 04:11 |
| escott | newtoubuntu, its just lego blocks. you have X many lego blocks inside your D that you need to put outside your D. can you put them in the space where C is or not? | 04:12 |
| d33wakar | escott suppose i did sudo apt-get install mysql-server | 04:12 |
| reisio | escott: he said it was 200GB | 04:12 |
| d33wakar | WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! libnet-daemon-perl libplrpc-perl libdbi-perl libdbd-mysql-perl mysql-client-core-5.1 mysql-client-5.1 mysql-server-core-5.1 mysql-server-5.1 libhtml-template-perl mysql-server | 04:12 |
| reisio | C being 40GB | 04:12 |
| riz0n | So let me ask. If I want to move all my files (including my EMAIL) from the old Ubuntu to the new Ubuntu install (Which is going to be on a new virtual machine) what do I need to do in order to get postfix to do its job? | 04:12 |
| newtoubuntu | escott understood | 04:12 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: that'd be pretty hard, I think, to hide everyone else :po | 04:12 |
| wolfgang | I am trying to run a minecraft server with the jar from minecraft.net and it won't work what do i do? | 04:13 |
| reisio | wolfgang: make it work | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfgang: what does it output? Which java are you using? | 04:13 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio ok be back in a few | 04:13 |
| escott | reisio, he didnt specify if that was data size or partition size. if its a 160GB partition with 5GB of files he is fine | 04:13 |
| wolfgang | ActionParsnip, sun java 6 | 04:13 |

| skyl | I also want to do stupid stuff like compile webkit quickly and watch a video at the same time :D | 04:34 |
| wylde_ | dr_willis: lol ok. Just thinking using $USER to make a cut n paste command | 04:34 |
| reisio | ActionParsnip: hah | 04:34 |
| dr_willis | wolfgang: learn to use ther TAB key to get names and paths correct.. | 04:34 |

| flustered | I had a working installation of 12.04 on a ASUS u46E-BAL7, and after imaging the SD card for my R Pi and installing winders on my free partition, any form of linux won't boot without "nomodeset acpi=off" | 04:34 |
| dr_willis | wolfgang: and you are missing a / | 04:35 |
| * ActionParsnip sighs | 04:35 | |
| osirisx11 | thanks guys | 04:35 |
| ActionParsnip | flustered: what video chip does the Asus use? | 04:35 |
| alan502_ | How can i install a different version of squid on ubuntu? | 04:35 |
| dr_willis | !pin | 04:35 |
| reisio | skyl: that's not a big deal on even cheap modern hardware | 04:35 |
| ubottu | pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 04:35 |
| ActionParsnip | flustered: and did you image from to Asus to the RPi to copy the OS etc | 04:36 |
| flustered | ActionParsnip: it has a integrated Intel HD chip, i7 Sandybridge | 04:36 |
| reisio | skyl: $300-400 can easily get you a >2GHz 64-bit dual core with virt extensions, 4GB RAM, and dedicated graphics | 04:36 |
| reisio | skyl: probably with a monitor | 04:36 |
| flustered | ActionParsnip: I used the recommended imager for the R Pi from the Asus | 04:36 |
| skyl | reisio you've never compiled webkit? | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | flustered: i see | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | skyl: why would you? | 04:37 |
| newtoubuntu | reisio escott itching to install... guide me please | 04:37 |
| reisio | skyl: are you suggesting I haven't compiled webkit because it makes any computer crawl? | 04:37 |
| newtoubuntu | escott | 04:37 |
| flustered | ActionParsnip: the thing that gets me, is it worked before - and not it doesn't with three different linux distros (two kernels, 2.6.something and 3) | 04:37 |
| === albert is now known as Guest10661 | ||
| reisio | newtoubuntu: was waiting for escott to say something | 04:37 |
| escott | newtoubuntu, so (1) we cant say much about. you just have to have a windows install disk. (3,4) seems you are describing a separate /home. I would (a) boot the install cd and try ubuntu (b) remove the windows partition (C:) (c) create a new ext4 partition in the free space (d) move your data from (D:) into that partition. (e) verify you have everything (f) delete (D:) (g) create a small partition for ubuntu where (D:) started (h) instal | 04:37 |
| escott | l ubuntu to that partition as the / (i) you can use the (C:) partition as your /home or create a /home after the ubuntu / partition and move the data a second time leaving what was (C:) blank in case you ever want to reinstall windows | 04:37 |
| reisio | ... | 04:37 |
| reisio | christ almighty | 04:37 |
| skyl | reisio no b/c 8 cores is going to be way faster than 2 ... | 04:37 |
| flustered | ActionParsnip: and there is nothing in the logs | 04:38 |
| reisio | skyl: what does '8 > 2' have to do with whether I've compiled webkit or not? | 04:38 |
| skyl | ActionParsnip I'm not a liberty :D | 04:38 |
| escott | newtoubuntu, i need to sleep, but hopefully that makes sense | 04:38 |
| ActionParsnip | flustered: the display timings are in the kernel now | 04:38 |
| wolfgang | reisio, It's running but wont create all the text files to set it up, what do i do? | 04:38 |
| ActionParsnip | flustered: have you tried lucid, to test | 04:38 |
| reisio | wolfgang: find an error message | 04:38 |
| skyl | *at liberty | 04:38 |
| wolfgang | reisio, what? | 04:38 |

| n-iCe | Maybe a dumb question, is it possible ot modify a .iso distro ? I mean I have installed a distro but did a lot of modifications, desktop, menu, packages, etc, is there any way to create a whole .iso of my current system? thanks in advice. | 04:39 |

| ActionParsnip | flustered: very weird, are there guides online how to install Ubuntu, like on youtube | 04:39 |
| dr_willis | wolfgang: could be theres some extra options or commands you need to gt it going.. you have checked gthe minecraft homepage docs and forums? | 04:39 |
| reisio | n-iCe: short answer: yes | 04:39 |
| abhitest | escott: ActionParsnip now i am in beta ubuntu in external hdd | 04:39 |

| dr_willis | wolfgang: could also be yoou need to be IN the minecraft dirctory to run it | 04:40 |
| ActionParsnip | skyl: I use chrome, its a webkit based browser, but why would compiling it do something I can't already do? | 04:40 |
| flustered | ActionParsnip: it also bugs me that my windows install was fine, my R Pi was fine and grub had no complaints | 04:40 |
| skyl | I have 64-bit, 2 cores, 2 gigs and some old ATI-cruft and I can easily put a hurting on it | 04:41 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu: the most straightforward way to deal with the problem of D files would be to copy them over the network to your other computer, then later copy them back | 04:41 |
| abhitest | dr_willis: can you please help me? i tried to do sudo grub-install and also i tired grub repair software. which gives this link for refernece http://paste.ubuntu.com/1043425/ but now i get error device not found instead of the grub screen help please | 04:41 |
| skyl | ActionParsnip people compile webkit all over the world everyday. Okay, switch "compile webkit" to "compile qt" and you have the same problem of it taking forever ... | 04:42 |
| ActionParsnip | skyl: so you use it as a speed test...? | 04:42 |
| alan502_ | Help please :D even though I have configured squid with the proper acl, I keep getting "access denied" messages on the computers I try to access squid to?

| alFReD-NSH | Is there anyway that I can turn back my kernel to 3.2.0-23 and make sure it doesn't update to 3.2.0-24? | 04:44 |
| volti | anyone know how to control a desktop over ssh? | 04:44 |
| ActionParsnip | volti: it what sense? | 04:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !pin | alFReD-NSH | 04:44 |
| ubottu | alFReD-NSH: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 04:44 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio will the method suggested by escott lead to too many "fragments" or other issues? coz that is much faster than transfering data to another computer | 04:44 |
| volti | i know how to ssh -X and get the application window on my desktop to control it | 04:44 |
| ActionParsnip | alFReD-NSH: if you reboot and hold SHIFT, you can choose the older kernel | 04:45 |
| volti | i want to be able to control the applications on the other desktop | 04:45 |
| skyl | ActionParsnip, no, I actually want to compile qt really quickly while playing with webgl and running other stuff, etc | 04:45 |
| volti | and i dont want to use something like VNC | 04:45 |
| ActionParsnip | volti: is this for media playback? | 04:45 |
| riz0n | Uhm, I am lost, and really need some advice. I have copied my user directories from my old linux server over to my new new linux server 12.04. Dovecot lets me check my mail but when I try to send mail, it just sits and asks for authentication. | 04:45 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio shit, my connection closed and i lost escott's guide | 04:46 |
| volti | partially, i checked on how to control VLC over the command line and it is pretty robust. now i want to expand it to further use with the desktop | 04:46 |
| ActionParsnip | riz0n: did you chown the data to your user? | 04:46 |
| skyl | obviously I'm not going to buy more hardware so I can pipe stuff to /dev/null more quickly and run infinite loops or whatever | 04:46 |
| riz0n | i did chmod | 04:46 |
| riz0n | but i have no idea what a chown is | 04:46 |
| ActionParsnip | volti: it also has a web interface, you can then control it with android devices too :) | 04:46 |
| wolfgang | dr_willis, i was in the directory using " cd /home/wolfgang/Desktop/Minecraft-server" then i ran it and it changed and al commands worked but still won't create the text files in that folder. | 04:47 |
| volti | oh snap! ill have to check that one out... | 04:47 |
| ActionParsnip | riz0n: chown is to change the ownership to the user on the destination PC | 04:47 |
| abhitest | Blue1: this step gives me error sudo chroot /mnt chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error | 04:47 |
| riz0n | this is what i done | 04:47 |
| riz0n | i created each user account using adduser | 04:47 |
| volti | what about the desktop in general? something like ssh -Y user@server gnome-panel? | 04:47 |
| flustered | ActionParsnip: any ideas how an install can break like that? If there isn't support for sandybridge (all the resources I've found are 2011 before sandybridge was supported) why would wit work for 3 weeks before dying? | 04:47 |
| ActionParsnip | volti: you can control transmission with webUI too (also has an android app) | 04:47 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: hang on | 04:47 |

| newtoubuntu_ | reisio also, i have downloaded the 64-bit version of ubuntu.. is that the right way to go? | 04:53 |
| riz0n | oh well. i give up. | 04:53 |
| bazhang | wolfgang, then ask in a minecraft channel | 04:53 |
| riz0n | i am going to format this virtual machine, and i guess, start all over tomorrow. | 04:53 |

| zvcxasdfasdf | I have been Googleing for a while and cannot find anything. :( | 05:00 |
| flustered | anyone have any ideas? I'll try just about anything except dd if=/ of=/ | 05:00 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio now back to the main thing - i lost escott's guide.... will the method suggested by escott lead to too many "fragments" or other issues? coz that is much faster than transfering data to another computer | 05:00 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: you want to transfer only 40GB instead of all of it and let the rest get deleted? | 05:01 |
| thefluffyone | im not sure ActionParsnip | 05:01 |
| newtoubuntu_ | yes | 05:01 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio yes | 05:01 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: that should work fine, did you have a solution for being able to reinstall Windows? | 05:01 |
| Metahias | i got 12.04 front screen mouse movement, but clicking and keyboard not responding. Almost as if its frozen while the mouse still moves freely.. takes a moment to work it lose (meaning i have to move the mouse around alot to get it to start registering my movement). | 05:02 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio but then windows can't read ubuntu harddisk formats... can it? | 05:02 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio yes, i have a windows 7 disk | 05:03 |
| elmariachiludo | did anyone saw alpj? | 05:03 |
| zvcxasdfasdf | Is there a way to use OpenDNS with a domain to ssh into a Ubuntu 12.04 computer? | 05:04 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: it can, some of them, with 3rd party utils | 05:05 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: probably won't need to, though | 05:05 |
| Metahias | Ok so it seems 12.04 needs to be nuked? | 05:06 |
| ActionParsnip | zvcxasdfasdf: if you have an openDNS account resolving your IP to a name, you can connect to that name on port 22 and it will hit your home router. Is that what you mean? | 05:06 |
| reisio | Metahias: ok? | 05:06 |
| hungray1 | Hey guys....I am looking for an web browser based terminal (source code) that doesnt require a database and is free...can anyone help me out here? | 05:07 |
| hungray1 | Also my brother says hi? | 05:07 |
| Metahias | i see alot of boot screen issues with it. | 05:07 |
| Metahias | alot of people seem to be getting similar front screen issues | 05:07 |
| reisio | hungray1: looking for a what now? | 05:08 |
| ActionParsnip | hungray1: do you mean so you can SSH from the terminal to a server? | 05:08 |
| flustered | hungray1: have you tried lynx? | 05:08 |
| reisio | Metahias: maybe a graphics driver issue | 05:09 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio hoping i never have to reformat to windows on that computer... can you take me through the steps once more... and recommend specifics such as ext3 or ex4... how much swap? how to merge the data that will be on c: to the rest of the harddisk..is a separate data partition helpful | 05:09 |
| flustered | ah, re read that, nvm | 05:09 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: how much RAM does it have? | 05:09 |
| newtoubuntu_ | 4gb | 05:09 |
| Metahias | Perhaps. I'd expect an nvidia 580gtx to be on the compatibility list. | 05:10 |
| newtoubuntu_ | 2gb x 2 ddr2 | 05:10 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: ext4, 4GB swap is pretty sane | 05:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Metahias: might need to xorg edgers update ppa (less fresh more stable) | 05:10 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: separate data partitions aren't like _actually_ helpful if you know what you're doing, but to a newbie they could help a tiny bit if you wanted to install a new OS or something | 05:10 |
| hungray1 | reisio: I have my web server but not db access...looking for a way to upload some kind of terminal emulator for my tutorial. Actionparsnip: yes flustered: no, can you tell me more? | 05:11 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: mostly it'd be useful in this situation so you don't have to resize any partitions | 05:11 |
| ActionParsnip | hungray1: http://ssh-chrome.sourceforge.net/ | 05:11 |
| Metahias | really i could care less im trying to play with the 30 bit color capability of the latest nvidia linux drivers. they supposedly support anything over series 8 chips. | 05:11 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio didn't get the last bit | 05:11 |
| Metahias | 11.whatever will probably work. | 05:11 |
| reisio | hungray1: you don't have db access? | 05:11 |
| hungray1 | Actionparsnip: is this an extension for a web browser? | 05:12 |
| hungray1 | reisio: no. it is free hosting. | 05:12 |
| ActionParsnip | hungray1: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pnhechapfaindjhompbnflcldabbghjo | 05:12 |
| ActionParsnip | hungray1: yes, for chrome | 05:12 |
| flustered | hungray1: I read your question initially as needing a terminal based web browser - which would be lynx - not a web browser based terminal | 05:12 |
| reisio | hungray1: so what do you want? | 05:13 |
| hungray1 | Actionparsnip: that is great but I wanted something a bit more universal... | 05:13 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: having two partitions instead of one lets you keep your data more simply is all | 05:13 |
| hungray1 | reisio: like...a javascript-written terminal emulator... | 05:13 |
| hungray1 | if it exist.. | 05:13 |
| reisio | hungray1: how would that help? | 05:13 |
| hungray1 | reisio: I am writing a tutorial introducing people to ubuntu. | 05:13 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: in your specific case, not in general | 05:13 |
| ActionParsnip | hungray1: http://www.thewebhostinghero.com/tutorials/web-based-java-ssh-client.html | 05:14 |
| reisio | hungray1: and what does that have to do with db access? | 05:14 |

| newtoubuntu_ | reisio ok 10 9 8 7... | 05:16 |
| bazhang | arooni-mobile, installed from where | 05:16 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: I believe your plan is to: format C, copy the data you want to that new filesystem, then run the installer ('Something Else') and set what was C to be /home, and divvy up what had been D into / and swap | 05:16 |

| robertzaccour | How come in Unity I can't drag and drop something from one window into another? Is this a bug or just a common feature not added yet? | 05:17 |
| volti | aah forgot to do ls -A | 05:17 |
| volti | aah forgot to do ls -a | 05:17 |
| volti | ty | 05:17 |
| reisio | crackerjackz: who said anything about -R | 05:18 |
| reisio | robertzaccour: something like? | 05:18 |
| crackerjackz | reisio: rm says... /path/ is a directory | 05:18 |
| reisio | crackerjackz: rm symlinkname (no slash) | 05:18 |
| robertzaccour | reisio, files and folders | 05:18 |
| reisio | robertzaccour: from what to what? | 05:19 |
| robertzaccour | reisio, have 2 open windows, and can't drag and drop something from one to the other | 05:19 |
| ActionParsnip | volti: just add the line: 192.168.0.0/24 assuming that is your network addess and all hosts in your LAN will be able to control it | 05:19 |
| reisio | that's probably just a bug on your system | 05:19 |
| robertzaccour | Unity is the only DE in which it is impossible | 05:19 |
| crackerjackz | rm Rock/ | 05:19 |
| ActionParsnip | robertzaccour: unity isn't a DE | 05:19 |
| crackerjackz | reisio: rm: cannot remove `Rock/': Is a directory | 05:19 |
| robertzaccour | for people like me that do a lot of video editing this is a big deal | 05:19 |
| DjThree | Hello! | 05:19 |
| Metahias | does 12.04 have any boot options? | 05:19 |
| robertzaccour | ActionParsnip, ok DE implementation? | 05:19 |
| reisio | crackerjackz: did I not just say something about omitting the slash? | 05:19 |
| ActionParsnip | robertzaccour: Unity is a shell, Gnome is the DE and Compiz is the WM | 05:19 |
| reisio | DjThree: hi | 05:19 |
| reisio | Metahias: yup | 05:20 |
| ActionParsnip | robertzaccour: the old shell was gnome-panel | 05:20 |
| crackerjackz | reisio: oooo sry i overlooked that | 05:20 |
| reisio | crackerjackz: :p | 05:20 |
| robertzaccour | well then the Unity shell doesn't support the drag and drop feature, but every other shell does | 05:20 |
| Metahias | can you enlighten me? +) | 05:20 |
| reisio | robertzaccour: kind of doubt that | 05:20 |
| ActionParsnip | robertzaccour: drag and drop from where to where? | 05:20 |
| voldyman | why does ubuntu forget the action assigned to the corner of the screen ? | 05:20 |
| Metahias | i assume it a finally timed keypress/.' | 05:20 |
| robertzaccour | ActionParsnip, files and folders from one open window to another | 05:20 |
| reisio | Metahias: try holding down SHIFT during bootup | 05:20 |
| Metahias | gracias | 05:21 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio what is "/home"? i assume"/" is the os partition.. but d: is too big just for the os and swap... i'd like to do- say 30gb for the os, 4gb for swap, rest into a single drive for data (including the c:)or most for the data and some for alternative os... so basically 4 partitions | 05:21 |
| ActionParsnip | robertzaccour: does here from nautilus to another nautilus | 05:21 |
| robertzaccour | ActionParsnip, try from nautilus to anything else | 05:21 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: you could do that if you want | 05:21 |
| abhitest | Blue1: after doing that the grub takes me to grub promt and does nothing. help | 05:21 |
| robertzaccour | ActionParsnip, from nautilus to kdenlive or a web broser page | 05:21 |
| ActionParsnip | robertzaccour: never done that before, i'll try later. I'm at work now | 05:21 |
| robertzaccour | browser | 05:21 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: /home is kind of like C:\Users\ on Windows | 05:21 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio but what is the wisest? | 05:21 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: it's where you put all your personal data by default, downloads, documents, etc. | 05:22 |
| robertzaccour | it just seems that such a basic and expected feature would've been impossible to leave out | 05:22 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: / is everything (or everything _else_ if you specify other mount points, such as /home) | 05:22 |
| reisio | robertzaccour: probably hasn't been | 05:23 |
| RedSocrates | robertzaccour: I'm unable to tell what you're trying to do. I just dragged and drop a file between nautilus windows, then to my desktop, then to a web browser, then to LibreOffice | 05:23 |
| reisio | robertzaccour: ^ | 05:23 |
| RedSocrates | robertzaccour: All worked. | 05:23 |
| newtoubuntu_ | so the partitions aren't actually separate but just a subsystem in the os? | 05:23 |
| Metahias | yeah its the graphic driver | 05:23 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio so the partitions aren't actually separate but just a subsystem in the os? | 05:23 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: there's a filesystem hierarchy whether or not you have more than one partition | 05:24 |
| robertzaccour | RedSocrates, did you try dragging it to minimized windows or to an icon in the Unity panel to see if it would pop up that open app? | 05:25 |
| simplew | im using gnome classic, and i have added an icon to the panel (or taskbar, dont know what the correct name), i drag it from the menu and i cant remove, can anyone tell me how is done? | 05:25 |
| silver_star_iri | Hi all | 05:25 |
| RedSocrates | robertzaccour: Yes. Dragging it to an icon in the Unity Panel opened it in that app. Dragging it to the icon of a minimized window brought it up in that program. | 05:26 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio ok i'll cut the other os... just simply tell me how best to make a stable ubuntu system... if that means no partitions | 05:26 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: you just need / and swap for a basic system | 05:26 |
| silver_star_iri | I could reach myserver by ssh , and I can ping the server ip . but it does not come up 184.107.183.242 | 05:26 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: you can use your "C" area as /home if you want, fairly simply, or not and manage the data later | 05:27 |
| simplew | i right click over the icon i added to the panel and i cant remove it, also when right clicking in panel shows nothing | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | silver_star_iri: did you port forward port 22 on your router? | 05:27 |
| RedSocrates | robertzaccour: Sorry, by "Unity Panel" I meant the Unity Launcher | 05:27 |
| silver_star_iri | ActionParsnip: how I can find out ? | 05:27 |
| newtoubuntu_ | initially i make c: "/home".. then can it be merged later with "/" | 05:28 |
| ActionParsnip | silver_star_iri: its a concious action | 05:28 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio initially i make c: "/home".. then can it be merged later with "/" | 05:28 |
| silver_star_iri | ActionParsnip: I dont know ! it is down for more than 3 hours , but I can reach ssh | 05:29 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: if you like | 05:30 |
| ActionParsnip | silver_star_iri: I can hit the IP and get asked for credentials | 05:31 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio i clearly don't know enough to decide | 05:31 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: decide what? | 05:32 |
| EvanED | Hi all, I'm having a problem. I have 12.04 LTS installed (though I'll admit I arrived here via strange means -- i think i may have inadvertently installed the server version, and later apt-got ubuntu-desktop). I get the LightDM screen, I try to log in, the screen turns black for a couple seconds, and it boots be back to the lightdm screen | 05:33 |
| EvanED | I can log on as the guest session | 05:33 |
| EvanED | And it has worked in the past. The other thing is I've been messing around with my window manager, but this applies regardless of the login option i choose, including recovery console. | 05:33 |
| ActionParsnip | EvanED: if you make a fresh user in CLI, can you log in as that? | 05:34 |
| EvanED | i'll admit i haven't tried that, though i probably should have | 05:34 |
| EvanED | one sec | 05:34 |
| ActionParsnip | EvanED: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and log in there | 05:34 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio to keep it separate or "merge".. here's my final understanding --- one"/" and one swap... and somehow integrate "/home" into the main"/"..so that i can use ubuntu as intended | 05:35 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: you just tell the installer that "C" is to be "/home" and that's it | 05:35 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: or you can do it later, afterwards almost as simply | 05:36 |
| wootonius | hello all, quick question, besides using the "nomode" command while moving through setup is there any way to try and force ubuntu to use a generic video driver? | 05:36 |
| EvanED | (ActionParsnip) creating a new user doesn't work, surprisingly | 05:36 |
| ActionParsnip | wootonius: i believe there is a safemode vga option | 05:36 |
| EvanED | same behavior | 05:36 |
| ActionParsnip | EvanED: hmm, that is odd | 05:37 |
| EvanED | one sec i may have incompletely set up the user | 05:37 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio but it'll continue to be a separate logical partition? specially when moving(cut and paste) from "/home" to "/"... it'll take time... | 05:38 |
| EvanED | (i logged in at a console and see "no directory, logging in with HOME=/" which doesn't sound good) | 05:38 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: "C" /home will be a separate partition, yes | 05:38 |
| === sattu94 is now known as satyanash | ||
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: you'll want to reformat C as ext4, then rsync/cp over the data from D to what was C | 05:39 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: then start the installer, the rest can be done from there | 05:39 |
| Metahias | wootonius you might have some options in the boot options. any particular reason you wanna force a generic video driver? | 05:39 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: or you could rsync the data from D to your other computer over night and save yourself all this hassle | 05:39 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: and keep _all_ the data | 05:40 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: _and_ not deal with any partition resizing nonsense | 05:40 |
| reisio | ever | 05:40 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio rsync? | 05:40 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: rsync -av foo bar, better than cp, resumes, other goodies | 05:40 |
| ActionParsnip | EvanED: or grsync for a pretty UI | 05:41 |
| EvanED | just got it | 05:41 |
| reisio | as long as it's on the install image | 05:41 |
| EvanED | new user can log in | 05:41 |
| reisio | otherwise you can explain to him how to install it :p | 05:41 |
| EvanED | (i did useradd instead of adduser...) | 05:41 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio right until now i was sure ubuntu would be a breeze to use... but now i'm getting intimidated... i dont know what is rsync, cp | 05:42 |
| ActionParsnip | EvanED: I'd use that, but drop back to the terminal and run: sudo usermod -a -G admin newusername to put your new user in the admin group | 05:42 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: it is a breeze, your data and where it is, that's what's made it complicated | 05:42 |
| ActionParsnip | EvanED: obviously change 'newusername' for the actual name | 05:42 |
| EvanED | so one thing i note: who should own .Xauthority? | 05:42 |
| EvanED | my new user says "evan3 evan3" | 05:42 |
| ActionParsnip | EvanED: the user whose home it is in | 05:43 |
| EvanED | i'm pretty sure that when i looked for my broken user it says "root root" | 05:43 |
| reisio | how many evans do you need! :p | 05:43 |
| EvanED | evan2 was my bad attempt at making a new user, evan3 was my good attempt ;-) | 05:43 |
| EvanED | both will be short-lived | 05:43 |
| ActionParsnip | EvanED: sudo usermod -a -G admin evan3 | 05:43 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: if you don't already have a backup system, you could go buy yourself an external hard disk, and solve your backup system problem _and_ your storage/data placement problem simultaneously | 05:43 |
| EvanED | man usermod | 05:44 |
| EvanED | wrong keyboard | 05:44 |
| reisio | newtoubuntu_: now I've got to take off :) have fun | 05:44 |
| ActionParsnip | EvanED: it adds the user t the admin group, so it can use gk/sudo | 05:44 |
| ksinkar | hey guys I have tmux installed on my latest ubuntu | 05:44 |
| ksinkar | 12.04 | 05:44 |
| EvanED | i'm just gonna try removing this .Xauthority file | 05:44 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio thank you verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyy much | 05:44 |
| EvanED | see if that helps | 05:44 |
| blag | i think I messed up my ~/.byobu/keybindings file, can somebody post theirs for me? | 05:45 |
| EvanED | ok seems like it worked | 05:45 |
| EvanED | yes, it did | 05:45 |
| === the_finz is now known as idefix | ||
| EvanED | i wonder how i managed that | 05:46 |
| ActionParsnip | EvanED: I suggest you install desktop in future :) | 05:46 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio don't know if i'd have continued on this ubuntu quest if you didn't patiently answer my probably stupid questions | 05:46 |
| EvanED | eh that was unrelated to my weird path to ubuntu | 05:46 |
| EvanED | thanks for your help though | 05:46 |
| newtoubuntu_ | reisio see you on the other side of installation | 05:47 |
| EvanED | oh man, actually i know exactly how it happened i bet | 05:47 |
| alFReD-NSH | Anyone can help me http://askubuntu.com/questions/149443/ubuntu-hangs-on-booting-up-after-a-clean-install | 05:48 |
| EvanED | so i'm trying to switch to a different window manager, and have been messing with the config... i wanted to test it. on other computers i've done that with 'startx -- :1' to start a new x session, but that gave me an error about incorrect permissions. so rather than figure out why it did that exactly, i just tried again as root. (you can tell i have good root hygene here :-)) | 05:49 |
| EvanED | didn't work, and i assume that's where the root-owned .Xauthority came from | 05:49 |
| volti | ActionParsnip: ty for the help. that was right on the money... | 05:51 |
| Nicekiwi | heyyy I installed the Nvidia driver, now KDE system settings only recognises one of my 2 monitors.. what do i do? | 05:53 |
| Nicekiwi | I need dual-screen, seperate X displays at the same res | 05:53 |
| jussi | Nicekiwi: ask in #kubuntu | 05:53 |
| diverdude | Hi, does anybody in here have a lenovo w520? If yes, what is the temperature of the cpu on your computer when doing normal desktop stuff? | 05:53 |
| volti | Nicekiwi: you can always try xrandr | 05:53 |
| volti | use xrandr -q | 05:54 |
| volti | to find the displays | 05:54 |
| volti | then to configure them do xrandr --output (output #1) --auto --output (output 2) --right-of (output #1) | 05:55 |
| volti | then to configure them do xrandr --output (output #1) --auto --output (output 2) --right-of (output #1) --auto | 05:55 |
| volti | or something to that effect, play with it and you will get the right settings | 05:55 |
| volti | once you have it set for the command just place that in the last line of your .profile and it will setup the displays when you log in... | 05:55 |
| volti | and its much easier then messing with Xorg.conf | 05:56 |
| ActionParsnip | volti: np dude | 05:57 |

| flowerpot | If apt upgrades a package whose application is currently in use, e.g. apache, is apache restarted or something during the process? When will the new version start being used? | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | flowerpot: the installer will probably restart the service to load the new app into ram | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | flowerpot: if it isn't restarted the old version will still run | 06:02 |
| riz0n | I need some help with Ubuntu 12.04 and Postfix. When I try to send a message out, it says that my "none of the authentication methods are supported by your server" | 06:02 |

| Metahias | sweet 30 bit color support for consumer geforce products is confirmed. Over DVI-Duallink no less. | 06:06 |
| silver_star_iri | ActionParsnip: yes ip can ping ! but when you put it in browser it does not work, why ? | 06:07 |
| flowerpot | ActionParsnip, thank you! That makes sense. | 06:08 |
| flowerpot | ActionParsnip, is there a way to know which packages will restart a running process if they come across it? | 06:08 |
| flowerpot | I mean...which packages will trigger the installer to do that | 06:08 |
| diverdude | is it possible to make a bash script which starts up 2 different servers in 2 different terminalwindows? | 06:09 |
| zvcxasdfasdf | I figured out how to route my Dynamic IP to a domain name. I cannot figure out how to ssh with my external IP, though. :( | 06:10 |
| flowerpot | zvcxasdfasdf, if you know your public IP address, the incantation should be something like this: ssh user@1.2.3.4 | 06:11 |
| flowerpot | zvcxasdfasdf, what are you having trouble with? | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | flowerpot: not sure, usually packages for services will stop and start automatically as part of postinst | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | zvcxasdfasdf: you'll need to port forward | 06:13 |
| zvcxasdfasdf | flowerpot, I have more than one computer on the network for one and I am trying to route the SSH through ssh.mydomain.com, but I cannot seem to connect to ti. | 06:13 |
| mi3 | Our services upgrade and database prune --------------> what does that mean, ActionParsnip ? | 06:13 |
| zvcxasdfasdf | ActionParsnip, how exactly would I do that? I am completely new to port forwarding and have never done it. | 06:13 |
| flowerpot | ActionParsnip, do you know what determines whether the service will stop/start? I'm curious to know if it's automatic for everything or if it requires special effort on the part of the package maintainer | 06:13 |
| Metahias | anyone know of any linux graphics programs that actually output 30 bit color? | 06:14 |
| ActionParsnip | zvcxasdfasdf: depends on the router, it varys wildly | 06:14 |
| flowerpot | zvcxasdfasdf, so you're trying to ssh from outside your private network to a single host behind your router? | 06:14 |
| mi3 | FloodBot1, ? | 06:14 |

| Metahias | ActionParsnip: what used 24 bit? | 06:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Metahias: the colour depth | 06:19 |
| ActionParsnip | mi3: me neither | 06:19 |
| Metahias | ActionParsnip: You mean ubuntu? I have it confirmed set to 30 bit color | 06:19 |
| mi3 | ActionParsnip, LOL | 06:19 |
| Metahias | ActionParsnip: Driver accepted it shows it as being in 30 bit color mode after reset. | 06:20 |
| Metahias | ActionParsnip: Now i just need something to test it with. | 06:20 |
| flowerpot | zvcxasdfasdf, one solution would be to ensure that the router is connected directly to the internet and then forward a specific port to your machine (keeping in mind that this will allow anyone to send packets to that port) | 06:22 |
| flowerpot | zvcxasdfasdf, how you set up port forwarding depends on your router | 06:22 |
| zvcxasdfasdf | flowerpot, I figured out where the portforwarding is, I just cannot figure out which application type to use. I think Telnet would be the closest to ssh. | 06:24 |
| Metahias | Im betting less than couple hundred interested people even know this is possible let alone tried to do it. course it serves no purpose to people without 30 bit color monitors. However 30 bit color monitors are coming down quickly and once people know they can get 1.1 billion colors instead of 16.5 million im sure they will want it just like me. =) | 06:24 |
| Metahias | And i just confirmed on consumer grade hardware what nvidia has been unwilling to confirm or deny. | 06:24 |
| flowerpot | zvcxasdfasdf, that's a good guess, but not quite right | 06:24 |
| flowerpot | zvcxasdfasdf, SSH uses TCP port 22. It's possible your router might not have "SSH" listed as one of the protocols; that doesn't matter, just forward any old external-facing TCP port to your machine's port 22. | 06:25 |
| flowerpot | Metahias, personally, 16.5 million colors is more than enough for me | 06:28 |
| zvcxasdfasdf | flowerpot, Okay, I found the options. I juts have to figure out wich combination works for me. :) | 06:28 |
| riz0n | ok so I have broken down and decided to rewrite my postconf main.cf file. Here are a couple of things I need to know in relation to Ubuntu 12.04: #1: Do I need to uncomment one of the "alias_database" lines or does "NIS" properly take care of it? And #2, mail_spool_directory, do I need /var/mail or /var/spool/mail | 06:30 |
| Metahias | flowerpot: under most circumstances 16.5 million is perfectly fine, however and graphics get more complex they create overdraw which creates color difficulties essentially making it a chore to for the GPU to blend the colors. Also if you start seeing content at ultra high resolution in 30 bit color you will see a big difference. Particularly on gradiants. | 06:31 |
| flowerpot | zvcxasdfasdf, sounds good. wish i could help more, but that kind of settings-related stuff is very specific to your own router etc. | 06:31 |
| flowerpot | Metahias, I don't doubt that your needs require such high numbers of colors, but for me I know mine do not | 06:32 |
| blank2 | what are the recommended system requirements for Ubuntu 12.04 | 06:34 |
| Metahias | flowerpot: Each jump might be more indiscernable than the last, like the jump from 65k to 16.5million was no where near as big a deal to most as the jump from 256 colors to 65k. Hell most of our cell phones are only 65k. | 06:34 |
| riz0n | In addition, in my old main.cf file, the "mailbox_command" was left blank. In the new main.cf.dist file, it says I need either /usr/bin/procmail or /usr/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION" ... are those neccessary or should I just leave them commented? | 06:35 |
| blank2 | what are the recommended system requirements for Ubuntu 12.04 | 06:35 |
| Metahias | flowerpot: However as technology advances (screens get larger and more tightly packed pixels, but also better contrast and brightness the limitations of 16.5 million will also come into focus. | 06:35 |
| flowerpot | blank2, I don't know, but you can test it using a livecd | 06:37 |
| flowerpot | blank2, what are you hoping to install ubuntu 12.04 onto? | 06:37 |
| flowerpot | workstation? server? | 06:37 |
| blank2 | this http://www.techbuy.com.au/p/183260/NOTEBOOKS_15/Toshiba/PSK2ZA-008001.asp | 06:37 |
| FriendlySoviet | blank2, her ya go budddddy | 06:37 |
| FriendlySoviet | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 06:37 |
| FriendlySoviet | hahah | 06:38 |
| FriendlySoviet | yeah | 06:38 |
| FriendlySoviet | That will do just fine | 06:38 |
| blank2 | thanks | 06:38 |
| flowerpot | blank2, so you don't have the hardware yet... the most annoying parts are usually the video card and the wireless card | 06:38 |
| flowerpot | but nowadays it usually isn't much of a problem. if you want to check the requirements, check those, I guess | 06:38 |
| FriendlySoviet | Yes, what flowerpot said | 06:38 |
| FriendlySoviet | Though I haven't had a problem with any hardware in a long time | 06:39 |
| blank2 | ok | 06:39 |
| FriendlySoviet | And according to this thread [http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/should-i-install-nvidia-geforce-gt-525m-driver-on-ubuntu-11-10-a-924760/] | 06:39 |
| FriendlySoviet | Everyone is using that graphics card just fine | 06:40 |
| FriendlySoviet | So you are clear for take off | 06:40 |
| riz0n | Any ideas? Do any of you guys use Postfix on your Ubuntu systems??? This is the *only* thing I don't have functioning on my server =( | 06:43 |
| flowerpot | riz0n, there's no reason postfix won't work with ubuntu | 06:44 |
| flowerpot | riz0n, what specific issue are you having? | 06:44 |
| Metahias | flowerpot: plus really the whole 16.5million color thing is really a misnomer. The actual number of different discernable colors in a 24 bit color system will not in fact be anywhere close to 16.5 million colors. The whole concept of 16.5million colors possible from 24 bits is not very precise. Each sub pixel (red, blue, green.) gets a an 8 bit value. which is capable of 256 possible levels of brightness (0-255) if all sub pixels are | 06:45 |

| riz0n | flowerpot: OK here is the problem. I have an aging Ubuntu server that I set up in 2008, running 8.04 LTS. I took the 10.04 LTS when it came out through synaptics. Well, as you can imagine, this drive is aging. I have a new system with multi-cores and RAID configuration and I have set up 12.04 in a virtual machine. I created the user accounts, then SCP'd the files over, I copied my bind9 files | 06:46 |
| riz0n | over (worked fine), copied my Dovecot files over (DID NOT WORK---rewrote and got it to work), and I copied my postfix files over/aliases, and when I try to send anything through the SMTP (Postfix) it just repeatedly asks for a password. So now I'm in the process of trying to re-write that file to fix it. | 06:46 |
| === wagle is now known as wagle_ | ||
| riz0n | I have 6 separate domains but I do not have email-specific accounts per domain (each email account on this server can "share" the domains or whatever) | 06:48 |
| === wagle_ is now known as wagle | ||
| Metahias | flowerpot: if all subpixels are 255 then you have brightest white. That 16.5mil colors all falls within those 3 colors and 256 brightness variations thereof. When you look at it through those terms you can see its no where near actually reproducing an analog of what your trying to represent in digital form. | 06:48 |
| riz0n | in fact most people have their gmails or whatever so I "alias" whatever account they want at their domain to the email address of their choice. But I use it as my primary source of email. | 06:48 |

| JoseeAntonioR | riz0n: An ignore will work fine, don't worry. | 06:50 |
| riz0n | I unfortunately do not have the original "postfix" folder from a virgin 12.04 install because I erased it and replaced it. It would be nice if I could get that without having to spend an hour having to reinstall the Live CD | 06:51 |
| riz0n | or just know what values I need to put in this main.cf I have almost finished | 06:51 |
| riz0n | And I have also never done a "TLS" secure pop3s/imaps so if any of you have ever done that and would be willing to help me set that up, too, I would be forever grateful. | 06:52 |
| riz0n | All I know is that back in 2008 when I originally set this up, it was a piece of cake. It has run great for 4 years but I am taking "preventative measures" by replacing the aging hard drives before I have a total loss. | 06:53 |

| ubottu | c0mrade__: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 07:56 |
| c0mrade__ | Okay but for example I am scanning a computer using a network scanning tool called nmap. Like nmap -sS -O 192.168.1.1 | 07:57 |
| c0mrade__ | I get the following error: | 07:57 |
| c0mrade__ | You requested a scan type which requires root privileges. | 07:57 |
| c0mrade__ | QUITTING! | 07:57 |

| gigix | flaviu, what card, what version of ubuntu, what driver ? | 08:38 |
| flaviu | gigix: 8600GS, Ubuntu 12.04, nVidia Driver | 08:39 |
| gigix | flaviu, did it work ok with the nouveau driver ? | 08:40 |
| flaviu | it did | 08:40 |
| gigix | flaviu, why not sticking with it then ? | 08:42 |
| flaviu | gigix. No HW acceleration, without it, you can't call it computer | 08:42 |
| psiklops | gigix, do you set resolution entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 08:43 |
| gigix | flaviu, unless you want to play games with your 8600, you don't need the proprietary driver tbh | 08:43 |
| flaviu | gigix. I am getting edid error in xorg.0.log. I tried to bypass the with loads of options, but I always get one about DPI, after that, it sets the refresh rate to 60 | 08:43 |
| flaviu | gigix. I don't want to play games, hd movies | 08:43 |
| SpiritOF | how to run a command by a specific user on every reboot (i want to run some services if system fails and reboots)? | 08:44 |
| flaviu | The open source driver is .... | 08:44 |
| fasta | Is there a desktop search program which works efficiently with inotify support, etc.? | 08:44 |
| Slart | SpiritOF: use sudo in one of the rc.d files? | 08:44 |
| psiklops | flaviu, ^ did you set resolution entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 08:44 |
| gigix | flaviu, the open source driver runs very fine for old hardware, Nvidia does not care about your old 8600 on the other end... | 08:45 |

| gigix | flaviu, there's a small section on this problem here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia, have you tired it ? | 08:47 |
| flaviu | gigix. The G81 cards are supported, even the 6k series. | 08:47 |
| flaviu | psiklops; yes :|. I'm using the vga cable and I think that's the problem | 08:47 |

| psiklops | flaviu, http://www.forsaleseused.com/content/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu-904-geforce-8600m-gs-notebook | 08:48 |
| bkerensa | Nicekiwi: The phpmyadmin paths probably didnt get added to the apache.conf properly go to that wiki and follow the steps for the 404 | 08:48 |
| flaviu | psiklops: Thanks, but trust me, I know how to set it up, I think it's not software related. Also, it's not a laptop :) | 08:49 |

| bkerensa | Nicekiwi: No problem | 08:54 |
| gigix | flaviu, it's weird, I've got a similar machine at work and the only thing I did was to use nvidia-settings to set-up my resolution on mu dual-monitor config, save it to a new /etc/X11/xorg.conf and that was it | 08:57 |
| gigix | otherwise using the nouveau driver was also fine with me | 08:58 |

| theadmin | Sparky712: Do you haz enough RAM? I believe the minimum nowadays is 700-something | 10:10 |
| Sparky712 | I should do, i have about 2 gigs, i believe. either that or 4... | 10:10 |
| fizy[laptop] | Sparky712: reboot, and when it shows the purple screen, hit shift, then escape, then select "install ubuntu" | 10:11 |
| Sparky712 | it doesnt show it purple. it shows it black and white.. O.o | 10:11 |
| fizy[laptop] | Sparky712: wait for it to show purple with "ubuntu" and 5 dots for a few secs, then try it | 10:11 |
| Sparky712 | it doesnt, it goes straight to trying to boot it. which is where the problem starts... | 10:12 |
| Sparky712 | loads casper, then the one after that.. goes so far, stops. | 10:12 |
| fizy[laptop] | Sparky712: you DO know how to boot from a usb, right? | 10:12 |
| fizy[laptop] | ok nvm | 10:12 |
| fizy[laptop] | Sparky712: can you try that on another computer? it could be that the usb is messed up. its more likely than you think | 10:13 |
| Sparky712 | as I said, I've tried the windows installer as well. same problem | 10:13 |
| theadmin | Sparky712: Maybe it's a broken download. | 10:14 |
| fizy[laptop] | Sparky712: iv never used the windows installed. i have no idea how it works, but to me, murphys law says that seems like a terrible idea. but iv never used it, so it might be better than a straight install. | 10:14 |
| Lupa | Hello everytime I use Ubuntu and turn it off wrong or download something like python ide or delete some stuff I always have to reinstall ubuntu or it crashes randomly in 12.04 | 10:15 |
| Lupa | its really annoying and I like Linux | 10:15 |
| fizy[laptop] | Lupa: are you using the live cd? | 10:16 |
| Lupa | after using the live cd | 10:16 |
| Lupa | I will install it | 10:16 |
| Lupa | then use the os for a while then something above causes random problems | 10:16 |
| Sparky712 | you are suggesting 3 or 4 separate downloads all broke? unlikely, but possible... | 10:16 |
| theadmin | Sparky712: Eh, that's unlikely indeed... hm | 10:17 |
| Lupa | then when I open up ubuntu again it brings up the annoying low graphics mode dialog upon which I can not navigate with the mouse sometimes | 10:17 |
| gigix | Lupa, you installed ubuntu from the live-cd on you harddrive right ? | 10:17 |
| Lupa | yea on my Asus EEEPC 701 4G Surf after one tweak | 10:17 |
| fizy[laptop] | Lupa: do you know where its installed (which partition)? | 10:17 |
| theadmin | Lupa: Did you upgrade your system properly after installing? I'm suspecting dependency mess here | 10:17 |
| Lupa | 4gb SSD | 10:17 |
| Lupa | the full harddrive | 10:18 |
| Lupa | sorry solid state drive* | 10:18 |
| theadmin | Lupa: Ouch. 4GB is hardly enough for Ubuntu. | 10:18 |
| gigix | Lupa, 4Gb god that's low | 10:18 |
| Lupa | thats the eeepc I couldn't use puppy linux or any other distro on to the asus | 10:18 |
| fizy[laptop] | Lupa: boot to the live cd, then type in a console <<ls -1 /dev | grep "^sd">> | 10:18 |
| gigix | how much ram on your 701 ? | 10:18 |
| Lupa | 1gb | 10:18 |
| Lupa | I will have to reinstall the os again to do that fizy | 10:19 |
| gigix | so 2Gb of swap | 10:19 |
| gigix | leaves 2Gb for the system | 10:19 |
| fizy[laptop] | Lupa: then tell me what it says, but put it on one line, or else the ops will get pissed | 10:19 |
| Lupa | ofc mate | 10:19 |
| Lupa | brb :) | 10:19 |
| theadmin | Lupa: I strongly suggest you try another distro... Ubuntu can't fit in that little space. Or use the Minimal install cd | 10:19 |
| gigix | Lupa: same advice here | 10:19 |
| Lupa | I had to do a tweak to get ubuntu installed I just want a small ubuntu based distro of linux thats under majorly under 4gb | 10:20 |
| Lupa | but anyways I will reinstall ubuntu brb | 10:20 |
| Sparky712 | *sigh* any ideas for what could be causing my problem? | 10:21 |
| theadmin | Sparky712: Not really, it might be... hm.... What is your processor? | 10:22 |
| fizy[laptop] | Sparky712: did you try the usb on another comp? | 10:22 |
| Sparky712 | hang on a second | 10:22 |
| Sparky712 | it's unlikely to be the USB's fault, when I have the same problem with the windows installer | 10:22 |
| oooaaaoooo1 | hi guys, anyone here uses awk? | 10:23 |
| fizy[laptop] | Sparky712: im not testing the drive. im testing if its the comps fault | 10:23 |
| Sparky712 | ahj | 10:23 |
| Sparky712 | ahh* | 10:23 |
| gigix | Lupa, what about Lubuntu ? | 10:24 |
| Sparky712 | AMD Athlon 64 processor 4000+ | 10:24 |
| Lupa | I tried to use it and couldn't get past the install process | 10:24 |
| Lupa | maybe using the same tweak for ubuntu would work with lubuntu havn't tried it | 10:24 |
| * fizy[laptop] wants to strangle murphy for his law | 10:24 | |
| Lupa | do you recommand I try it again gigix? | 10:25 |
| Lupa | because I will | 10:25 |
| MonkeyDust | fizy[laptop] thanks to that law, you know you are not alone | 10:25 |
| gigix | Lupa, Lubuntu is more suitable for old or weaker hardware | 10:25 |
| gigix | and is a very usable environment | 10:25 |
| Lupa | true okay I will give it another whirl lets see what I can do | 10:26 |
| fizy[laptop] | MonkeyDust: yep. im SURROUNDED my corrupted partitions and failing sectors and physically falling apart SD cards | 10:26 |
| Lupa | gotta redo my usb stick tho pain | 10:26 |
| gigix | Yes, use unetbootin on windows | 10:26 |
| Lupa | yep | 10:26 |
| dontknow | hd2400 with catalyst video performance sucks | 10:26 |
| MonkeyDust | dontknow mind your language | 10:27 |
| Lupa | omgosh the mouse support in Lubuntu is bad | 10:34 |
| Lupa | I may have to plug in a usb mouse | 10:34 |
| Lupa | but I need it for my main pc | 10:34 |
| fasta | Lupa: ps/2 works. | 10:35 |
| Sparky712 | -.-' the only free computer in the house, and it wont boot from USB. | 10:35 |
| fasta | Lupa: which mouse support do you want? | 10:35 |
| Lupa | touchpad on asus | 10:35 |
| fasta | Lupa: and that doesn't work? What makes you think that? | 10:35 |
| Lupa | it lieterally doesn't work | 10:36 |
| Lupa | literally* | 10:36 |
| fasta | Asus generally has good Linux support. | 10:36 |
| fasta | Lupa: which model? | 10:36 |
| Lupa | 701 4G Surf | 10:36 |
| VGoff | oooaaaoooo1, Is there something you want to know about awk, or just want to know how many people here use awk? | 10:37 |
| oooaaaoooo1 | VGoff: something specific.well this is the situation: I would like to scan a file that has information about a list and use awk to generate that list from teh information in that list. is that possible or is it not within awk's scope? | 10:38 |
| fasta | Lupa: ok, perhaps it does suck. | 10:38 |
| Lupa | is there some kind of shortcut to get support in Lubuntu for touchpad? | 10:38 |
| fasta | Lupa: don't buy Asus next time, I suppose. | 10:38 |
| oooaaaoooo1 | VGoff: e.g. say a file has teh following row : a, 1,5. Id like to generate a new file from that file with the following rows : {a1, 1},{a2, 2} ...{a5, 5} | 10:38 |
| oooaaaoooo1 | VGoff: basically create data from metadata | 10:39 |
| Lupa | this computer really does suck for the ability to just work stablly | 10:39 |
| Lupa | frick sake | 10:39 |
| dontknow | MonkeyDust, shut up i know that you are troll | 10:39 |
| Lupa | i hate xandros | 10:39 |
| Sparky712 | i was watching those 'why linux sucks' videos from jupiterbroadcasting on youtube, it does seem that there are problems with touchpads still | 10:40 |
| VGoff | oooaaaoooo1, Well, awk is probably the right tool for the job, as it is a pattern scanner and processing language. | 10:40 |
| VGoff | Have you read the man page? | 10:40 |
| === maour_ is now known as maour | ||
| VGoff | It is definitely possible and what it is written for. | 10:41 |
| paul_uk | hey guys, whats happened with remmina remote desktop? with 11.10 connecting to win7 was fine, now with 12.04. all I get is a blank screen, is it waiting for some sort of prompt for the certification of the machine? | 10:41 |
| fizy[laptop] | dontknow and MonkeyDust: lets take this down a few notches. some of us (most of the ~1544 of us) are here for support. not to spectate arguing | 10:41 |
| fasta | My touchpad worked since day one and that was over 3 years ago. | 10:41 |
| Slart | oooaaaoooo1: this sounds like fun.. I'll play around and see what I can come up with.. I'll get back to you | 10:41 |
| fasta | Only way for the manufacturers to learn is to only buy supported products. | 10:41 |
| Lupa | Ubuntu works almost great with asus eeepc 701 4g surf but its just so unstable like it just crashes and then I have to reinstall everything everytime it does its proper annoying I just want solid os that I don't have to worry about | 10:41 |
| MonkeyDust | fizy[laptop] you're addressing the wrong guy, but let's move on | 10:42 |
| VGoff | The point being in IRC if you ask a direct question, someone will pick it up if they can. A lot of people won't probe like I did. | 10:42 |
| fasta | Lupa: I highly doubt it crashes. | 10:42 |
| oooaaaoooo1 | Slart: thanks man :) | 10:42 |
| === geoffb is now known as geoffb_away | ||
| Lupa | most of the time it just does weird stuff I guess crashes is a metaphor :) | 10:42 |
| fizy[laptop] | MonkeyDust: seriuously? thats embarrassing. guess thats my i dont make a good op | 10:42 |
| fasta | Lupa: I have never reinstalled. | 10:42 |
| fasta | Lupa: well, I did reinstall, but not because of a technical reason. | 10:42 |
| fasta | Lupa: more like a change in requirements. | 10:43 |
| Lupa | I'm thinking that the tweak to ubuntu actually destroys the os | 10:43 |
| Lupa | all I did was change a python file fudge factor to 1.4 instead of 2 | 10:43 |
| fasta | Lupa: those devices have only a 1GB or RAM or so. | 10:43 |
| fasta | Lupa: you need to be careful as to what you install before it slows down to turtle speed. | 10:43 |
| fasta | Lupa: the CPUs are often also underpowered. | 10:44 |
| Lupa | so what do you suggest I do I want linux and I want ubuntu software | 10:44 |
| fasta | Lupa: in short, they are more like web browser devices, not actual computers. | 10:44 |
| Sparky712 | right, I have a new approach. using the windows installer, which is drawing from the USB... I will be back, to tell if it has worked or not. | 10:44 |
| fasta | Lupa: I suggest you find a friend who knows what he is doing. | 10:44 |
| fasta | Lupa: and or read some information about Linux yourself and get an USB mouse | 10:45 |
| kutchbhi | would this cron entry run every monday, wednesday , friday at 3AM ? 0 3 * * 1,3,5 | 10:45 |
| fasta | Lupa: and not buy Asus again; their user support also sucks. | 10:45 |
| fasta | Lupa: it cannot possibly be more amateuristic; I think their website has cost about 2000$ to make or something like that. | 10:46 |
| Battaglin | anyone have a FXI Cotton Candy with Ubuntu on it? | 10:46 |
| fizy[laptop] | fasta: idk. asus motherboards have been nothing but golden for me. i refuse to buy any mobo but asus (biostar is the only possible, rare exception) | 10:47 |
| fasta | fizy[laptop]: yes, I have heard that too. | 10:47 |
| fasta | fizy[laptop]: still, I am speaking from experience after the shit had already hit the fan. | 10:47 |
| fizy[laptop] | fasta: although, their pre built comps may be different. i have never bought a comp. i always build them from scratch. to me, its simpler | 10:48 |
| Sparky712 | building is better, you know exactly what is in it, and actually on the computer. rather than the mess these companies like to put on there. | 10:49 |
| Paulo39 | hello there, how can i update grub via live session? | 10:49 |
| fizy[laptop] | Sparky712: hell yeah. best part: NO NORTON | 10:49 |
| bitsar | Anyone know how to refer to sublime text via the cli? | 10:49 |
| delta | Hi to all! | 10:49 |
| Lupa | there a linux distro based on Ubuntu called EasyPeasy which is for netbooks | 10:49 |
| Lupa | going to try that before I just fuck it and go back to Xandros or winXP | 10:49 |
| Sparky712 | I actually had to reinstall windows to get rid of that. -.-' so much hassle, just for such a small change. | 10:50 |
| delta | i search help about VNC, in Ubuntu 12.04 i'm looking for changine the default port.... thank you! | 10:50 |
| oCean | Lupa: such language is not welcome here | 10:50 |
| fizy[laptop] | Lupa: its good to see that there are still copies of xp being installed every day. screw 7 | 10:50 |
| Lupa | 7 is okay I don't like the file manager look and feel winxp is just awesome stilll imo | 10:51 |
| Sparky712 | haha... I only use XP out of necessity... and hatred for the direction Microsoft OS's are going. | 10:51 |
| fizy[laptop] | i cannot STAND 7 | 10:51 |
| fizy[laptop] | 7 | 10:51 |
| Lupa | win 8 is going to screw up everything | 10:51 |
| oCean | fizy[laptop], Lupa, Sparky712, you are offtopic, please stop it | 10:51 |
| Lupa | its because bill gates is not there anymore | 10:51 |
| oCean | Let met rephrase that stop it now | 10:51 |
| fizy[laptop] | oCean: he was probs looking at the keyboard when you typed that. not everyone is an awesome typist like me | 10:52 |
| Sparky712 | yup, sorry, back on topic, 'an error occurred: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_info' | 10:52 |
| Lupa | same here sorry | 10:52 |
| kutchbhi | would this cron entry run every monday, wednesday , friday at 3AM ? 0 3 * * 1,3,5 | 10:53 |
| Sparky712 | and the ubuntu installer closes because of it... -.-' come on. | 10:53 |
| delta | i search help about VNC, in Ubuntu 12.04 i'm looking for changine the default port.... thank you! | 10:53 |
| Sparky712 | can anyone help with my error, in installation? | 10:55 |
| salvo | ciao | 10:56 |
| delta | Hi, does anyone know how to change VNC port in Ubuntu 12.04 please? | 10:56 |
| llutz | kutchbhi: yes (man 5 crontab for details) | 10:57 |
| MaWaLe | delta: may i suggest you to keep the default VNC configuration and instead of changing the default port just do a port redirection on your router | 10:59 |
| missmimic | hello! im on 12,04 also and trying to run wine 1.5 problem is i need the audio drive to recognize OSSS driver and the option is not on the wine config screen for me as it shows in wine screenshot....found a file in my lib folder thats called noOSS that i cannot delete or edit i thought may be blocking the oss driver from installing. does anyone know how i can install oss driver and/or command wine to use this as the audio driver? | 10:59 |
| Slart | oooaaaoooo1: something like this might work.. try it out cat infile | awk -F, '{start = $2; end=$3; for (i=start;i<end;i++){ printf "{%s,%s},",$1i,i };printf"{%s,%s}\n",$1end,end;}' | 10:59 |
| MaWaLe | otherwise i think that SSH is more secure than VNC | 10:59 |
| delta | Hi, does anyone know how to change VNC port in Ubuntu 12.04 please? | 10:59 |
| tailot | hi, how to convert shs document in doc or odt or pdf ? | 10:59 |
| paul_uk | wow remmina rdesktop sucks now | 11:00 |
| Slart | oooaaaoooo1: should be easy enough to switch around.. it's basically a for loop with an extra print at the end to avoid the last comma | 11:00 |
| Slart | oooaaaoooo1: I have no idea how it behaves if you feed it bad data.. it's just a quick hack | 11:00 |
| Sparky712 | 'an error occurred: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_info' - this is stopping me installing ubuntu. can anyone help me deal with it? | 11:01 |
| MaWaLe | delta: i recommend you port forwarding in your router instead of changing the default port | 11:02 |
| missmimic | i want wine to to use oss driver as audio driver option is not given. | 11:03 |
| missmimic | <--anyone know how i can install oss driver (command on their wiki not working may need help with command to delete a file called noOSS if thats the problem) | 11:03 |
| MaWaLe | delta :http://www.realvnc.com/products/vnc/documentation/5.0/guides/user/ai1047203.html | 11:03 |
| Slart | missmimic: not sure if this is 100% reliable info but from reading wine forum posts it seems oss support was removed about a year ago | 11:04 |
| delta | Hi, does anyone know how to change VNC port in Ubuntu 12.04 please? | 11:06 |
| missmimic | hmmm i found a forum that was used 3 weeks ago on ubuntu re the issue someone sounds like they know about it but im not sure i even have oss installed and if that file is indeed bloocking it | 11:06 |
| Sparky712 | delta... | 11:07 |
| Sparky712 | <MaWaLe> delta: may i suggest you to keep the default VNC configuration and instead of changing the default port just do a port redirection on your router | 11:07 |
| Sparky712 | and this | 11:07 |

| missmimic | is anyone using wine with the oss driver or wine to run spotify.exe? | 11:08 |
| Slart | missmimic: try asking in #winehq if you don't get answers here | 11:08 |
| missmimic | thanks! | 11:08 |
| Slart | missmimic: that is the official support channel for wine | 11:09 |
| missmimic | excellent i am gonna try that thanks Slart | 11:09 |
| Slart | missmimic: you're welcome | 11:09 |
| Sparky712 | Slart, you think you would be able to help with my problem? | 11:09 |
| Paulo39 | hi there, when i boot i get the error: the /home drive is not ready... you cant skip or recover manually | 11:10 |
| delta | <Sparky712> yes there may be a solution... but i'm looking for to change it... :( | 11:10 |
| Paulo39 | what can i do to mount /home partition? | 11:11 |
| Slart | Sparky712: about vnc default port? I haven't used vnc that much myself.. but it has to be in some kind of configuration file.. no /etc/vnc or /etc/realvnc? | 11:11 |
| delta | <Sparky712> the guide is relative realVNC, i use ubuntu vnc default | 11:11 |
| Sparky712 | nono, thats not mine. thats delta's problem.. mine is installing linux, it comes up with this error | 11:11 |
| Sparky712 | an error occurred: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_info | 11:11 |
| delta | <Slart> it's my problem... i want to change default vnc port in ubuntu 12.04 | 11:12 |
| Slart | Sparky712: sounds like a programmer somewhere didn't do his job.. not checking if some kind of function actually returned an object.. not a lot you can do about that. Have you tried the text based installer? also called the Alternate installer | 11:13 |
| Sparky712 | it's odd, because this is actually the 12.04 version of Ubuntu which I am trying to install.... which many people have. | 11:15 |
| Slart | Sparky712: you're trying to install the regular desktop version? | 11:16 |
| Sparky712 | yup | 11:16 |
| Slart | Sparky712: try the text based installer here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads you will end up with the same system after the install, the only difference is that the installed doesn't come with any nice graphics .. it's just basic 80x25 text but perhaps that version works for you | 11:18 |
| Slart | *installer | 11:18 |
| Slart | Sparky712: in the past there has been some situations with some kinds of hardware that only worked with the alternate installer for various reasons | 11:19 |
| frogg | ?? | 11:21 |
| vidyut | I just read that php attacks can be used to change the DOM of a page. What’s that all about? | 11:24 |
| compdoc | so many lanot*, so little time | 11:24 |
| theadmin | vidyut: The "content" of a page if you wish. Document Object Model. | 11:24 |
| pesci | !list | 11:24 |
| ubottu | pesci: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 11:24 |
| vidyut | theadmin: can you describe it a bit about this attack? | 11:25 |
| Sparky712 | thanks slart... I will see what I can do | 11:25 |
| theadmin | vidyut: "php attack" is, well, WAY vague. | 11:25 |
| theadmin | vidyut: It's also offtopic. | 11:26 |
| Slart | Sparky712: you're welcome.. hope it works out for you | 11:26 |
| maAveli | hi all. | 11:28 |
| vidyut | theadmin: ok can you say something about the document object model? | 11:28 |
| Elvano | Isn't this more a question for, let us say, W3Schools or so? | 11:29 |
| theadmin | vidyut: Still offtopic. Sorry. Ubuntu stuff only here | 11:30 |
| i45 | what $() actually does? where can i read about it? | 11:35 |
| compdoc | i45, google Variable Substitution | 11:36 |
| theadmin | i45: In bash, the $(SOMETHING) construct inserts the output of SOMETHING into the place where the construct is located. | 11:36 |
| theadmin | i45: ${SOMETHING}, on the other hand, just gives you the value of the environment variable SOMETHING (is essentially same as $SOMETHING most of the time) | 11:37 |
| Wheemp | Which ubuntu built can be used to install a server install without cdrom? | 11:39 |
| Elvano | Depends on if you're willing to use an USB key | 11:39 |
| Wheemp | Yes, from usb stick | 11:39 |
| Elvano | All CD-rom versions can be converted to USB Bootable images | 11:40 |
| Wheemp | Except that they still ask me to add drivers for CD-ROM during installs | 11:40 |
| xserve | hi | 11:41 |
| Elvano | I can't recall which program worked for me | 11:41 |
| minas | Hi. I'm doing some programming in OpenGL, and when I try to run the program, it crashes with the following output: http://pastebin.com/hRmuPZMg Note: It's not programming related, I found on google that many people had similar issues, and all of them used Linux. I couldn't like a solution though... I'm on 12.04. | 11:41 |
| minas | *find | 11:41 |
| compdoc | Wheemp, which drivers? | 11:41 |
| i45 | compdoc, theadmin thanks ;p | 11:42 |
| Wheemp | compdoc: after setting keyboard etc it says "no CDROM drivers found, want to retrive those from a floppy" or something | 11:42 |
| compdoc | Wheemp, Ive nver seen ubuntu ask for drivers | 11:43 |
| Wheemp | every version so far that i tried has done so and i can't skip that part | 11:43 |
| Wheemp | i've tried both desktop and server installs, both i386 and amd64 | 11:44 |
| Wheemp | using Universal USB installer to convert *.iso to bootable files on USB | 11:44 |
| Elvano | Wheemp: I just remember I used my Windows for the conversion. Sorry but I can help you here. | 11:44 |
| theadmin | Wheemp: I suggest you create your USB properly using dd... I create mine in Windows using LiLi though, always works | 11:45 |
| compdoc | Wheemp, most pl say to use UNetbootin | 11:45 |

| MonkeyDust | Wheemp or MultiSystem for multiboot | 11:46 |
| Wheemp | theadmin: dd? | 11:46 |
| morsnowski | Wheemp, or you can use mutilsystem, has a nice gui and works great | 11:46 |
| gr33n7007h | dd if=/path/to/your.iso of=/dev/drive | 11:46 |
| Wheemp | ok so its the usb build thats causing it to ask for a cdrom? | 11:46 |
| theadmin | Wheemp: Likely. | 11:47 |
| Wheemp | strange | 11:47 |
| Wheemp | i have no cdrom on the computer where im building it | 11:47 |
| compdoc | yeah, so why would it need drivers? | 11:47 |
| theadmin | Wheemp: Meh, the way you built it fails to find the proper loopmounts I suppose. Happens when the USB is created badly | 11:47 |
| Wheemp | compdoc: no clue, thats why im in here asking | 11:48 |
| Wheemp | theadmin: i used the recommended programs.. :) | 11:48 |
| Elvano | Wheemp: If possible I'd try UNetBoot atleast | 11:48 |
| morsnowski | Wheemp, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ | 11:48 |
| theadmin | Wheemp: Try LinuxLive USB Creator and Unetbootin, the Universal USB Installer is, well... idk. Never worked for me | 11:49 |
| Elvano | One of those never worked for me either. I think it's the UUI as well | 11:49 |
| Wheemp | morsnowski: Im on a Win7 machine where i download the iso files, multiboot seems to be a linux progrma | 11:49 |
| morsnowski | oh sorry | 11:50 |
| Wheemp | i can give it a go at lili to check if it removed that cdrom question | 11:51 |
| minas | Here's the access right's I have on a folder: drw-r-xr-x 2 minas minas 4096 Apr 16 15:05 OpenGL_9_triangles. What does the 'd' mean??? | 11:53 |

| Wheemp | morsnowski: i'll have a got with that "lili" first to see if i get the same error there | 11:54 |
| minas | MonkeyDust: Thank you. Also Some files appear to be in green colour. Why? | 11:54 |

| axgb | is there anyone who can help me with ubuntu low-graphics mode | 12:00 |
| Elvano | edgy: I'm taking a guess at it but the grub seems to have a bootsector on a non-existing drive | 12:00 |
| Elvano | all: people are free to correct me | 12:00 |
| edgy | Elvano: please check http://pastebin.ca/2161798 | 12:01 |
| Wheemp | Same problem with "lili" "Your installation of CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probobly means that the CD-ROM was not in the drive- So if you can insert it and try again." | 12:01 |
| edgy | Elvano: if the bootsector is in a non-existing drive, how come everything is working properly | 12:01 |
| edgy | Elvano: the system boots I mean | 12:02 |
| Elvano | Wheemp: I guess all there is left to do is take a baseball bat and wack some sense into your computer | 12:02 |
| axgb | my ubuntu was working fine until a program (Audacity) ran out of memory or similar and it went into low-graphics mode | 12:02 |
| axgb | I have 12.04 LTS | 12:02 |
| Wheemp | Elvano: if the computer was to blame then es.. | 12:02 |
| Wheemp | Elvano: works just fine with other installations | 12:03 |
| Elvano | edgy: I'm afraid someone more expierenced than myself (not to worry almost anyone will do) will have to take a crack at it | 12:03 |
| sleax | hi to all, what's the users nobody, nobody4 and noaccess in unix-like systems? | 12:03 |
| axgb | are you talking to me, edgy | 12:03 |
| edgy | Elvano: thanks for your care. I hope some one would come to the rescue | 12:03 |
| axgb | ? | 12:04 |
| edgy | axgb: no ;) | 12:04 |
| edgy | axgb: unless you can help me solve my problem | 12:04 |
| axgb | what is your problem edgy | 12:05 |
| Duality | hi all, i updated ubuntu server with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, and now my website doesnt work anymore? any tips on finding whats the problem here :)? | 12:05 |
| axgb | edgy what is the problem you want solved | 12:05 |
| edgy | axgb: update-grub shows lots of "error: physical volume pv0 not found." as seen at http://pastebin.ca/2161784, http://pastebin.ca/2161798 | 12:06 |
| edgy | Duality: check the log files | 12:06 |
| oooaaaoooo1 | Slart: hey man thnx. In the command, what exactly is %s? | 12:06 |
| Elvano | Duality: alot of things can be wrong. For example your static ip may have been changed | 12:06 |
| axgb | sorry edgy i dont know anything about GRUB | 12:06 |
| Duality | Elvano: that is one of the first things i checked, edgy where can i find those :)? | 12:06 |
| Wheemp | trying witn unetbootin then.. | 12:07 |
| edgy | axgb: np, regarding your low graphics mode, I guess you need to reconfigure your vga card | 12:07 |
| Elvano | Duality: what kind of website are you running (all modules involved)? | 12:07 |
| edgy | Duality: first make sure apache is working, using ps e.g, then check /var/log/apache2/error.log | 12:07 |
| axgb | edgy , it was working fine but a program crashed? how do i reconfigure my VGA card | 12:07 |
| Duality | Elvano: if you meen mysql php http yes | 12:07 |
| edgy | axgb: what's your vga card? | 12:08 |
| Duality | yes apache is running | 12:08 |
| axgb | what is a VGA card? do you mean graphics card | 12:08 |
| edgy | axgb: yes, I mean graphics card or X server | 12:08 |
| axgb | I have a nvidea graphics card which previously worked absolutely perfectly | 12:09 |
| Wheemp | Duality: do you get the message that the page wants to be downloaded or does't just appare that the page doesn't excist? | 12:09 |
| === Dr4g_ is now known as Dr4g | ||
| Duality | Wheemp: the page is white, no error on the page shown | 12:09 |
| Wheemp | Duality: Sounds like a php problem if all the files are located as they should and the site-avalible is set as normal | 12:09 |
| Wheemp | Duality: any scripts that runs from ruby rails or such? Passenger? | 12:10 |
| edgy | axgb: if you are using free drivers, may be you just need to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 12:10 |
| Elvano | Duality: If you have an info.php, can you reach that one through your internetbrowser? | 12:10 |
| Duality | wheemp not i know of, i run wordpress uses php and mysql | 12:10 |
| axgb | how do i get to command line from low graphics mode | 12:10 |
| Wheemp | Duality: Nods, as Elvano said, make a info.php or something to see if that page works | 12:10 |
| axgb | and will it auto-reconfigure or will i have to do something else | 12:10 |
| edgy | axgb: boot in recovery mode and go for root prompt option | 12:10 |
| axgb | okay | 12:11 |

| zamba | hello thar! | 12:11 |
| Segnale007 | anyone here knows how to mount a mtp device on Ubuntu ? | 12:11 |
| axgb | edgy, are you a very experienced user of ubuntu? | 12:11 |
| edgy | axgb: not very experience but I am using it for a bit long time now | 12:12 |
| Segnale007 | I have got a galaxy nexus and I have been going crazy for the past few days trying to figure out a way to mount it | 12:12 |
| Duality | http://freeduality.tk/info.php | 12:12 |
| edgy | Segnale007: I have a galaxy S III and all I need to do is to use airdroid | 12:12 |
| Segnale007 | but no lack so far.. mtpfs along with its dependeces is installed and lsusb sees the device | 12:12 |
| Segnale007 | but still nothing | 12:12 |
| Segnale007 | airdroid ? | 12:12 |
| Segnale007 | what is that? | 12:12 |
| edgy | Segnale007: no need for mounting and the hard work | 12:12 |
| Segnale007 | oh | 12:12 |
| edgy | Segnale007: google for it | 12:12 |
| axgb | when i type in sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will I need to do anything extra or will it audomaticially reconfigure | 12:12 |
| Segnale007 | its like it uses adb push and pull via air ? | 12:13 |
| Duality | or do i need to make a pastebin thingy? (because i am the only one who can see not sure how this works though :) | 12:13 |
| edgy | axgb: I think it will ask you a couple of questions but I don't remember them, google for that command, please | 12:13 |
| Wheemp | axgb: it will ask for a few questions | 12:14 |
| axgb | edge, after answering the questions will i restart into normal ubuntu and it should work | 12:14 |
| Elvano | Duality: the good thing is, your php server is up and running | 12:14 |
| Segnale007 | omg do I really need to use this crap in order to mount my phone as a usb hard drive ? | 12:14 |
| Duality | Elvano: cool :) | 12:14 |

| Wheemp | its seems like the reason it triggers is because there is no cd-rom | 12:20 |
| Wheemp | even if i don't use it it still wants drivers for something thats isn't there | 12:20 |
| Elvano | Wheemp: I installed it at my gf's where, indeed, the pc has no CD-rom stations | 12:20 |
| Duality | Wheemp: the index.php does not state where such a folder is :) | 12:20 |

| sivapvarma | how much does it take to get Skim pdf to work for ubuntu 12.04 | 12:27 |
| johan` | It seems as though xmodmap can't read .Xmodmap for some darn reason | 12:27 |
| Duality | Elvano: i have php5 installed | 12:27 |
| Elvano | Duality: That's why I asked. If your Wordpress was too old it might not work on a php5 server | 12:28 |

| fonix232 | hi | 12:46 |
| fonix232 | got some problems with installing Ubuntu, could someone help me out< | 12:46 |
| fonix232 | ? | 12:46 |
| fonix232 | My problem is, that while a live-cd can see all my partitions, the installer itself can't | 12:47 |
| fonix232 | 12.04 LTS from USB installer | 12:47 |
| fonix232 | but same happened with 11.10 | 12:47 |
| Elvano | Duality: I just took the liberty to check the networktraffic between your server and my client. Your server accepts a connection, and send me data. All works fine, except for the given data is a blank page. | 12:49 |
| MonkeyDust | fonix232 type sudo fdisk -l while you're in the live session | 12:49 |
| fonix232 | MonkeyDust: I can see my partitions, thats not the problem | 12:49 |
| fonix232 | Nautilus can see them, and can mount them | 12:49 |
| Duality | Elvano: yes i noticed :) the page source is blank also ... | 12:50 |
| k1l_ | fonix232: you got a special setup like raid or smth? can you show a "sudo fdisk -l" in a pasteservice? | 12:50 |
| fonix232 | k1l_: no I don't have RAID | 12:50 |
| fonix232 | I have three SATA HDD's | 12:50 |
| chakal^-^ | buenos dias | 12:50 |
| fonix232 | two 1TB and a 512GB | 12:50 |
| MonkeyDust | fonix232 are the partitions named /dev/sdxxx or /dev/mdxxx | 12:50 |
| fonix232 | sdxxx | 12:50 |
| fonix232 | just to note, the two 1TB are dynamic volumes, with one stripped partition across | 12:51 |
| k1l_ | so its a lvm? | 12:52 |
| MonkeyDust | fonix232 what k1l_ says, put sudo fdisk -l in a pastebin | 12:52 |
| fonix232 | I'm on it | 12:52 |
| utgenius | Hi! can anyone help me with Ubuntu TV? | 12:53 |
| fonix232 | k1l_: nope, it's Windows dynamic volumes | 12:54 |
| fonix232 | but the drive I want to install ubuntu on is nothing special | 12:54 |

| utgenius | Anyone to help on Ubuntu TV? | 12:55 |
| MonkeyDust | fonix232 do you need all these ntfs partitions? if not, delete the one(s) you don't need with gparted | 12:56 |
| fonix232 | MonkeyDust: yes I need unfortunatelu | 12:56 |
| fonix232 | unfortunately | 12:56 |
| fonix232 | first two are for Windows | 12:56 |
| fonix232 | third is my data and fourth is my work partition | 12:57 |
| Elvano | Duality: I've just found out that the earlier versions of Wordpress 3 are run on PHP 4. Before you updated, what version of PHP server did you run? | 12:57 |
| fonix232 | btw is it possible that a standard Win7 installer formatted the main drive with GPT? | 12:57 |

| xservo | i mean it's already installed | 13:00 |

| Elvano | beershaw: So if I understand correctly, you tried to install the Ubuntu on windows, but it failed. And now you can't boot your computer? | 13:01 |
| beershaw | Hey Elvano yes i used the installed from windows from the official website | 13:02 |
| beershaw | went through all fine and rebooted the computer | 13:02 |
| fonix232 | MonkeyDust: Problem is: fdisk can see all the partitions, but neither GParted nor the installer can see even the partition table | 13:02 |
| fonix232 | basically it says whole sda is unallocated | 13:02 |
| beershaw | and when i chose ubuntu i can hear that login drum roll | 13:02 |
| Duality | beershaw you can run a live cd/usb and do a boot repair :) | 13:02 |
| beershaw | and then it's stuck on this black screen | 13:02 |
| beershaw | can i just get that off a website and put it on a usb? | 13:03 |
| Elvano | beershaw: your windows boots just fine? | 13:03 |
| fonix232 | ah fuck this shit I'm gonna wipe everything | 13:03 |
| beershaw | yeah i'm on windows now lol | 13:03 |

| Elvano | beershaw: As Duality suggested you can try to fix your boot | 13:04 |
| fonix232 | sorry oCean, but its really annoying that I had to reinstall windows and Ubuntu still won't install properly | 13:05 |
| kosko | i've got Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS how do i find out if it is possible to upgrade my openvpn from 2.1.3 to 2.2.1 or newer? | 13:05 |
| beershaw | Elvano do i just plug the boot usb stick in and reset my comp then and boot from the usb? | 13:05 |
| Elvano | beershaw: however, it kind of troubles me that you hear the login sound, which pioints out that the boot works . | 13:05 |
| xservo | fonix232: use disk repair for windows 7 | 13:06 |
| fonix232 | xservo: windows works perfectly. Ubuntu won't | 13:06 |
| xservo | i mean staru repair | 13:06 |
| beershaw | Elvano it troubles and scares me even more to see my laptop like that lol | 13:06 |
| xservo | i see | 13:06 |
| beershaw | tried it twice same result | 13:06 |
| Elvano | beershaw: Your laptop did you say? | 13:07 |
| Duality | beershaw if your going to boot from cd/usb (live) and do a grubrepair, youll have a grub menu to windows, and to ubuntu (if the ubuntu install isnt broken) | 13:07 |
| beershaw | Elvano yes it's an acer aspire laptop | 13:07 |
| Elvano | beershaw: for some strange reason does Wubi not work on a couple of laptops | 13:07 |
| xservo | try to configure grub.conf | 13:07 |
| Elvano | beershaw: i had the same problem with my acer | 13:07 |
| beershaw | Elvano should i just uninstall it and try installing it from a usb? | 13:08 |
| fonix232 | xservo there is no ubuntu installed, only windows | 13:08 |
| fonix232 | but never mind, as I said, I'm gonna reinstall the whole | 13:08 |
| fonix232 | thanks for the help though | 13:08 |
| smw | kosko, you can, but there are no packages for it | 13:08 |
| kosko | smw: so i'll have to compile it ? | 13:09 |
| smw | kosko, yes, or find another place to get packages | 13:09 |
| kosko | smw: what kind of place? | 13:09 |
| smw | kosko, it is not in the official repos | 13:09 |
| smw | kosko, I have no idea | 13:09 |
| kosko | smw: thanks | 13:09 |
| Elvano | beershaw: My solution was simply adding a new partition and install a complete Ubuntu version. Though it's understandable if you do not want this. | 13:10 |
| beershaw | Elvano yeah don't really wanna make a separate partition cos my laptop HDD is about 70% full lol | 13:11 |
| i7c | beershaw: so? ubuntu needs like 4GB for the system + some space for software etc | 13:11 |
| beershaw | i7c yeah but it's effort:( | 13:11 |
| italoxp | Ubuntu takes more than that | 13:11 |
| Elvano | beershaw: I recommend at least 20 GB =p | 13:12 |
| beershaw | i7c and yeah they said 11 Gb at least | 13:12 |
| beershaw | Elvano that's about wha I got | 13:12 |
| DjGeCk0 | hey. what i need to view m3u8 on my ubuntu vlc player ? | 13:12 |
| beershaw | Elvano I'll try duality's solution fixing my install and if not i'll just redo it using a usb stick | 13:12 |
| Elvano | beershaw: did you already try to completely uninstall Wubi? Afterwards check if also the boot for Ubuntu has dissepeared | 13:13 |
| beershaw | Elvano k i'll try that first | 13:13 |
| beershaw | thanks a lot for the support guys, defo quicker than googling my problem lol | 13:13 |
| xservo | cheers | 13:14 |
| DjGeCk0 | hm i would never ask befor googleing | 13:14 |
| Elvano | same | 13:14 |
| DjGeCk0 | im allready installed a lot of codecs but i still cant play a m3u8 livestream on VLC | 13:15 |
| DjGeCk0 | i tried totem and gecko-player, too | 13:15 |
| i7c | DjGeCk0: http://askubuntu.com/questions/11508/how-do-i-play-m3u8-files | 13:17 |
| DjGeCk0 | i7c: this are firefox plugins. i can watch it in firefox but not on external players | 13:19 |
| DjGeCk0 | its an rtsp link | 13:19 |
| Elvano | DjeCk0: No, there is an alternative to the addons described as well | 13:19 |
| DjGeCk0 | k ill take a look on the settings | 13:20 |
| Elvano | DjeCk0: The HLS player seems to be an independant application to me | 13:20 |

| mz|` | soup-n-sandwich: please explain the behaviour/issue you encountered, and what you did to fix it | 13:36 |
| mz|` | paanii: in the system configuration options | 13:37 |
| mz|` | paanii: depending on your window manager / desktop manager of course, if those have the option | 13:37 |
| soup-n-sandwich | mz|`: well I haven't fixed it yet. | 13:37 |
| mz|` | soup-n-sandwich: so describe the issue in details | 13:37 |

| Hyperbyte | paanii, are they currently on the right side or on the left side of the window? | 13:41 |
| Hyperbyte | Because you said you want to move them 'from right to left' | 13:41 |

| soup-n-sandwich | On a laptop with an Nvidia card, 1GB , Intel 965 chipset I always remember never having issue with the Nvidia drivers on this laptop but I can't seem to get it working. I guess it seem like I'm going backwards with the OS. On the Desktop computer it's also an Nvidia card with 1.5 Gb RAM and a Intel 945 chipset. Up until now it's always ran "snappy" but now with 12.14 it's sluggish. It's also very inconsistent. I've see some | 13:44 |
| soup-n-sandwich | other ways to install the drives on Nvidia but so far nothing has worked. I have have big time issues with Samba | 13:44 |

| llutz | pkkm: if you change groups for a user, the user needs to relogin | 13:46 |
| mz|` | llutz: exact | 13:47 |
| pkkm | Weird... the group is shown in 'groups pawel', but not in 'groups' | 13:48 |
| pkkm | llutz: Is it enough to close and open terminal, or should I log out of GNOME and log in again? | 13:48 |
| llutz | pkkm: if you change groups for a user, the user needs to relogin <- thats the reason, | 13:48 |
| llutz | pkkm: you need a login-shell, so closing is not enough | 13:49 |
| soup-n-sandwich | I've never see Samba this inconsistent. Computers (6 of them in the same room for testing) that will show up in a Samba browser just disappear...and then won't appear. Printing is always non-existing with Samba. No remote printing what so ever so far. | 13:49 |
| pkkm | Ok, thanks for information mz|` and llutz. I'm going to relogin now. | 13:50 |
| soup-n-sandwich | It does appear that the same hardware that ran 11.10 very well just doesn't run as well with 12.04. | 13:50 |

| llutz | thedingo: it is in main, no launchpad repo needed | 15:04 |
| oCean | because of closed source noname120 | 15:04 |
| noname120 | yes | 15:04 |
| thedingo | either way. it doesn't work for me | 15:04 |
| noname120 | but this is x6 anyways | 15:04 |

| noname120 | jrib : the driver tool installs a driver that isn't working | 15:38 |

| Kruptein | bobertdos I have youtube with html5 though | 15:49 |
| dontknow | i found an alien ship and installed ubuntu on its computer, it isolated ubuntu and patched its vulnerabilities. it is really fast now. using 10^-16 of system resources | 15:49 |
| mneptok | noname120: "no support for Broadcom 43xx cards" is dead wrong, and it continues your ranty-ness. and that is unwelcome. | 15:49 |
| bobertdos | Kruptein: But not all Youtube videos can play with HTML5 due to ads. So is it just HTML5 videos you're having trouble with or HTML5 *and* flash? | 15:49 |
| Kruptein | bobertdos: ok, well till now every yt vid I tried and also twitch.tv streams | 15:50 |

| sapiens | Anyone could help? | 15:52 |
| bobertdos | Kruptein: So it's a recent development. Have you made sure to try both HTML5 content and flash content? | 15:52 |
| Sparky712 | my problem... it freezes on the purple screen.. ( have managed to install now) after installing, it rebooted itself, then when I try and use it, it freezes on the purple screen. | 15:52 |
| oCean | Sparky712: no need to repeat that quickly | 15:52 |

| bobertdos | Sparky712: I had a problem like that a couple generations ago. I don't know if this would work for you, but on mine, whenever I would get stuck on the splash screen, I would Alt-F1 to bypass the splash screen. It would go to the verbose (text) loading mode, and then it would load. | 15:54 |
| Sparky712 | alt - F1... I dont know, it seems, ( i cant actually tell, it's a still image) like my system actually freezes. but it is worth a try | 15:55 |
| Ashael | hello | 15:55 |

| dontknow | I couldn't achieve booting with verbose mode | 15:56 |
| Ashael | question: i changed my cursor theme, but it only changed in some contexts and returns to default in others. is there a way to change it globally? | 15:56 |
| Sparky712 | bobertdos: you sure? I have seen that using the ACPI workaround ends up needing to be done multiple times, because it is not permanent. | 15:57 |
| dontknow | I couldn't achieve booting with verbose mode. do you know how? | 15:57 |
| Kruptein | bobertdos: ok lol restart fixed it -_- | 15:57 |
| Kruptein | bobertdos: thanks for your time anyway :) | 15:57 |
| bobertdos | Sparky712: Well that could very well be true. I probably shouldn't say anything as I've never had to use it. | 15:58 |
| bobertdos | Kruptein: You're welcome | 15:58 |
| Sparky712 | ahh thank you for your help anyways, alt f1... I shall see if it works. but first, just in case, I will look up the ACPI workaround... | 15:58 |

| Ashael | Sparky712: in configuration or in cursor art files? | 16:04 |
| k_ | hi | 16:04 |
| Sparky712 | fair enough. and ashael, if your problem is similar, and it changes to defaults when in certain situations, possibly. and if it doesnt have an image for a certain situation.. i dont know, does it default to another theme for it? | 16:05 |
| noob1204 | crossing fingers..... brb | 16:06 |
| Ashael | Sparky712: it seems to have all images, and it defaults to the original system default | 16:06 |

| axgb | what happened is that a program ran out of memory and now ubuntu goes into low-graphics mode | 16:33 |
| HelloWorld321 | We have a policy in this channel: "don't ask to ask,just ask". But people here don't usually get into hand-holding: you need a specific question. Once you've got that, just ask. But thats the hard part, isn't it? If you've got the specific question, google could handle it for yo. | 16:33 |
| mz|` | axgb: not related :) | 16:33 |
| sacarlson | Symbi0nt: and what group the files belongs to | 16:33 |
| HelloWorld321 | couldn't low graphics mode be related to low memory if you've got an onboard video card with shared RAM like most laptops? | 16:34 |
| Gracenotes | mz|`: hm, okay, gray in left, orange in right. It seems like, for "Analog Stereo Input", my computer is always using the internal mic. Also, I do not have a microphone port as such, but rather a duplex. | 16:34 |
| Symbi0nt | I have a context menu where a pulldown appears | 16:34 |
| Symbi0nt | but only 8 groups are shown | 16:34 |
| axgb | how is the program (Audacity) and ubuntu going into low-graphics mode not related - they happened one-after-the-ther | 16:34 |
| mz|` | axgb: to see if this come from the program, just reboot, if you continue to be in low graphics, you have a driver issue | 16:34 |
| Gracenotes | mz|`: unfortunately, then, no real change | 16:34 |
| Symbi0nt | and the one I need is not one of them | 16:34 |

| unodx | Keanulaszlo, check if gnome is running | 16:50 |
| Chuck_Norris | axgb: paste: lsmod | 16:50 |

| HelloWorld321 | I think he thought you already had that "axgb: I have got a ethernet cable between a laptop and the PC which normally allows internet on it" | 16:53 |

| Ashael | how can i add files to usr/share/ folders? | 16:54 |
| axgb | with UI, | 16:54 |
| axgb | but now i cant get it to work | 16:54 |
| Slart | Ashael: you can either use a terminal and use cp,mv and those commands.. or run a root nautilus window using gksudo | 16:54 |
| Slart | Ashael: of course.. in the terminal you need to use "sudo mv" and "sudo cp" and so on | 16:55 |
| Ashael | thanks | 16:55 |
| axgb | can i sorta insert a LIVECD and tell it to repair the damaged files | 16:55 |

| axgb | Thank you for everyone here trying to help. I have now got ubuntu working perfectly again | 16:57 |
| sacarlson | axgb: if you spend more than 2 hours trying to fix many times faster to just reinstall if the install isn't what broke it to start | 16:57 |
| axgb | i dont know what i did, but it now works again | 16:57 |
| sacarlson | axgb: ya sometime when you remember to plug the power plug into the wall does it for me | 16:58 |
| unodx | Keanulaszlo, try re-installing ubuntu | 16:59 |
| Keanulaszlo | unodx: how do? | 16:59 |
| axgb | The fault was not with the power supply. The fault was with the graphics drivers, sacarlson. | 16:59 |

| unodx | Keanulaszlo, exactly like you installed it first time but this time dont play with the settings until you know what you are doing | 17:00 |
| Keanulaszlo | unodx: I dual-booted ubuntu on an old Windows laptop I got. I'm a Mac-user, thus I have no idea what I'm doing right now | 17:00 |
| sacarlson | axgb: I failed to read you having any graphic problems but this time of night I miss many things | 17:00 |
| Keanulaszlo | unodx: I installed it with the Windows installer, wubi.exe Should I just use that again? | 17:00 |
| unodx | Keanulaszlo, I don't suggest using any windows tool...they're crappy...do a single OS install and use virtualbox to install windows...or you don't have windows os installable ? | 17:01 |
| mz|` | T3X: sudo apt-get clean ? | 17:01 |

| drecute | Hello. I will like to know; how do I enable vlan support in network-manager? | 17:03 |
| axgb | Helloworld, i would try searching google (not very helpful thing to say, sorry) and entering in the command it says, restarting a few times, repair damaged packages in recovery mode, restart and do that kinda thing until it works. Doing that worked for me | 17:03 |
| sacarlson | drecute: I'm not sure network-manger will setup a vlan unless they made some changes | 17:03 |
| unodx | Keanulaszlo, you can actually create a bootable ubuntu usb, change order of bios to boot from usb and you can experience ubuntu without having to install it | 17:04 |
| sacarlson | drecute: a gui for vlan, now that's a project | 17:04 |
| Keanulaszlo | unodx: so should I just install it again from the installer? without deleting the current installation? | 17:04 |
| unodx | Keanulaszlo, or you can use a virtualbox on windows and install Ubuntu as one of your OS and use that to get the feel of it | 17:04 |
| unodx | Keanulaszlo, for dual boot to work you really need to tweak a lot of things...it's not smooth most of the time | 17:05 |
| unodx | Keanulaszlo, thats why its always better to use Virtualization softwares | 17:06 |
| drecute | sacarlson: hi, I can't understand why that was never thought about by the nm developers | 17:06 |
| Keanulaszlo | unodx: so what should I do right now? | 17:06 |
| unodx | Keanulaszlo, remove your ubuntu installation | 17:07 |
| sacarlson | drecute: because it's not what most users make use of, it's a numbers thing to please as many as posible | 17:07 |
| unodx | Keanulaszlo, and get back to your stable windows system | 17:07 |
| nicolas_ | k | 17:07 |
| Keanulaszlo | unodx: how do? | 17:07 |
| sacarlson | drecute: I have used vlan but with scripts | 17:07 |
| unodx | Keanulaszlo, so your windows installation is screwed too ? | 17:07 |
| drecute | sacarlson: yeah | 17:07 |
| drecute | sacarlson: i have do with nm by just using /etc/network/interfaces | 17:08 |
| Keanulaszlo | unodx: no, it's fine. I just don't know how to remove my ubuntu installation... | 17:08 |
| drecute | sacarlson: but so far nm has refused to be disabled and resolvconf remains in charge to auto generating resolv.conf | 17:08 |
| sacarlson | drecute: I shutdown network-manager in those cases as it conflicts with my complex vlan and other settings | 17:09 |
| unodx | Keanulaszlo, me neither because I don't know the wubi.exe you used to install | 17:09 |
| drecute | sacarlson: so I don't think resolvconf will look into /etc/network/interfaces for values to set | 17:09 |
| === Tux is now known as CoreGraphics | ||
| drecute | sacarlson: what about resolvconf? How did you handle that? | 17:09 |
| sacarlson | drecute: no seems even with /etc/network/interfaces settings that at this point network-manager still holds control unless you shut it down | 17:10 |

| drecute | sacarlson: but everytime I tend to reconfigure resolv.conf because nm is diabled | 17:11 |
| drecute | *disabled | 17:11 |
| Keanulaszlo | unodx: follow the instructions for what...? installing it? | 17:11 |
| sacarlson | drecute: I run a local bind9 that is pointed to as primary dns | 17:11 |
| unodx | Keanulaszlo, do a dinstall...that will fix all the problems | 17:11 |
| unodx | Keanulaszlo, google dinstall | 17:12 |
| Ashael | hooray, success replacing the cursors | 17:12 |
| drecute | sacarlson: how did you disable nm permanently? | 17:12 |
| sacarlson | drecute: you can uninstall network-manager if it keeps causeing you problems | 17:12 |
| sacarlson | drecute: I uninstalled it | 17:12 |
| drecute | sacarlson: and you used bind9 to resolve domains? | 17:13 |
| Keanulaszlo | unodx: what should I be looking at when I google'd dinstall? | 17:13 |
| sacarlson | drecute: yes bind9 resolves my local and wan address | 17:13 |
| sacarlson | drecute: if you have local web sites you would need bind9 to separate what is seen from outside wan and local | 17:14 |
| drecute | i understand that | 17:14 |
| unodx | Keanulaszlo, look for a clause that says "removing ubuntu from system"...when you see that blink 3 times, go to the kitchen and touch the ceiling 3 times then come back and scream at your laptop "DINSTALL" | 17:14 |
| drecute | drecute: i just need a dns client. that's all | 17:15 |
| sacarlson | drecute: but it's still pointed to the same from /etc/resolve.conf other than hosts | 17:15 |
| bcuraboy | i need the libical package.where can i get it?? | 17:15 |
| Keanulaszlo | unodx: ... really? | 17:15 |

| c_smith | Guest20033, I just told you. | 17:27 |
| bazhang | Guest20033, its used in xubuntu xfce4 | 17:27 |
| acicula | ejo: that is not uncommon, bash_completion scripts do the same afaik | 17:28 |
| sacarlson | Tim` close the curtains? | 17:28 |
| c_smith | Guest20033, it's a lightweight desktop. | 17:28 |
| ejo | acicula: oh wait nvm! haha. Turns out only a small part of it was ImageMagick and the rest is due to git. Which makes plenty of sense | 17:28 |
| Guest20033 | c_smith: Thanks bye | 17:28 |
| Anom01y | Im just trying to get my wine back working with Ubuntu 12.04 | 17:28 |
| Anom01y | c_smith, bazhang | 17:28 |
| acicula | ejo: <3 git | 17:28 |
| ejo | Definitely makes sense that git would inject all kinds of scripty stuff into my shell environment. OK I'm a happy camper | 17:28 |

| bazhang | Anom01y, no need for the excessive commentary. just ask your issue | 17:29 |
| Anom01y | should I reboot after issuing this command ? | 17:29 |
| c_smith | Anom01y, but apparently this turned into a war as to which DE is better. | 17:29 |
| HelloWorld321 | How do I re-install a "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)" video driver? | 17:29 |
| bazhang | HelloWorld321, thats in the kernel. there's nothing in jockey-gtk for that card | 17:30 |
| Anom01y | <bazhang> Anom01y, no need for the excessive commentary. just ask your issue | 17:30 |
| Anom01y | I have twice now | 17:30 |
| bazhang | HelloWorld321, the performance on that card will never be very good | 17:30 |
| HelloWorld321 | bazhang: I don't know what that means. Does that mean that there's nothing I can do but a full re-install? | 17:30 |
| setkeh | XFCE is Better than Unity No argument | 17:31 |
| c_smith | HelloWorld321, as far as I know, all Intel cards (save for one that was outsourced) are in the Kernel since Intel works with Open-source. | 17:31 |
| bazhang | HelloWorld321, no need to reinstall | 17:31 |
| HelloWorld321 | bazhang: that's true, fer sure | 17:31 |
| sacarlson | HelloWorld321: so I guess you could try some other kernels that are supported in 12.04 | 17:31 |

| HelloWorld321 | K, so my issue is that since the Pangolin upgrade (and I had the same thing at Ocelot), when I did the upgrade, my desktop stopped booting. When I moved to Ocelot, I did a clean re-install, and swore to an LTS-only policy. Pangolin is an LTS, so here I am again, and the same thing is happening. I sorta figure that if I do a fresh install, then I'll get my video back. As it is, it won't boot (gets stuck on checking battery [ | 17:35 |
| HelloWorld321 | So I've been thinking all I need to do is intrall the video drivers. | 17:35 |
| setkeh | XD | 17:35 |
| HelloWorld321 | Or I could do a full re-install of Pangolin. Or I could go buy a proper video card. | 17:35 |

| bsdfreak | hurr durr | 17:40 |
| dlentz | depends on how you installed it, if you did it from the repo, then sudo apt-get purge nvidia* | 17:41 |

| HelloWorld321 | There's a story on that. The computer *had* a kick@$$ nVidia video card, which fried. At that time, I bought a new computer for video games, and then decided that if I could get the old one working again, I would install Ubuntu on it, and explore it. I've found that Ubuntu is a perfectly decent OS, thought for video games aren't supported on it, so for those I use the new computer with the newer video card. So I remembered | 18:33 |

| sanu | Thanks escot | 18:34 |
| mz|` | fantazmythe: nat is to create a network inside the VMs, a new network | 18:34 |
| DJones | !firewall | newtoubuntu | 18:35 |
| ubottu | newtoubuntu: 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. | 18:35 |
| arash_ | :D I don't know SirTravers | 18:35 |
| fantazmythe | all i want is internet acces | 18:35 |
| HelloWorld321 | If I bought a new nVidia graphics card, would that get me where I'm going? | 18:35 |
| mz|` | bridge is to bridge your physical network interface with the virtual ones | 18:35 |
| DJones | !virus | newtoubuntu | 18:35 |
| ubottu | newtoubuntu: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 18:35 |
| SirTravers | lol ok | 18:35 |
| arash_ | well @AntiVirus & Firewall | 18:35 |

| oCean | !who | arash_ | 18:35 |
| ubottu | arash_: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 18:35 |

| newtoubuntu | <DJones> !firewall | newtoubuntu ..... do i need to type this in terminal | 18:37 |
| SirTravers | you would use the word Query instead of join | 18:37 |
| mz|` | CDB: http://www.ircbeginner.com/ircinfo/ircc-commands.html read that | 18:37 |
| SirTravers | then put the person's nick behind it | 18:38 |

| SuperNoeMan | I moved my swap partition. I'm able to boot, but how do I know if swap will be used successfully when the time comes | 18:54 |
| newtoubuntu | ok that worked.. what about a good pdf handling program? allowing some basic edits etc | 18:55 |
| bazhang | chimney, could you re-iterate the issue please? | 18:55 |
| Cottus | SuperNoeMan, cat /proc/swaps | 18:56 |
| bazhang | newtoubuntu, such as pdfedit? | 18:56 |
| SuperNoeMan | Cottus: thanks | 18:56 |
| Cottus | np | 18:56 |
| SuperNoeMan | so, it listed the swap space. do I know for certain that this will get written to when I need it? | 18:56 |
| chimney | bazhang: I need to change the automounting conf so that every devices is also acsessible by the user mpd, *every* stick on earth could be it | 18:57 |
| chimney | also every hdd | 18:57 |

| HSimpson | Quick networking question: I have two interfaces (eth0 and wlan0) and they are both configured for DHCP pn /etc/netowrk/interfaces. How come they BOTH assigna default gateway (verifiable on 'route -n') ? Shouldn´t it be just ONE default gw ??? | 18:57 |
| Cottus | SuperNoeMan, but if now it is used, then it will be used from now on, also do you care about swappiness? | 18:58 |
| newtoubuntu | found pdfedit on sourceforge.. but it is tar.bz2... how would i install? | 18:58 |
| RedViper | 18:58 | |
| RedViper | bazhang: I have a slight Network problem, I set my computer to suspend and the it was bombed due to a power failure, so when I started it up again my ubuntu would not connect to the internet. It's as if the internet cable is unpluged (But it is not) I booted into windows 7 and it connected to the internet with no problems so that rules out hardware. How do I get my Ubuntu 10.04 to connect to the net as I need it to? | 18:58 |

| SirTravers | SuperNoeMan, your system monitor should show the available swap size and its current usage stats | 18:58 |
| bazhang | newtoubuntu, its in the repos. always look there first | 18:58 |
| Cottus | SuperNoeMan, i mean there is a way to reduce the use of swap | 18:58 |
| bazhang | newtoubuntu, sudo apt-get install pdfedit | 18:58 |
| newtoubuntu | bazhng in the terminal? | 18:59 |
| bazhang | newtoubuntu, yes | 18:59 |
| SuperNoeMan | idk if you are even being serious about "swappiness"... anyway, thanks a lot, that swapon -s helped me out | 18:59 |
| bazhang | RedViper, ethernet? try sudo dhclient eth0 if you see eth0 in ifconfig | 19:00 |
| hanscom | what is the command to get your screen size in linux ? | 19:01 |
| Cottus | hanscom, xrandr | 19:01 |
| newtoubuntu | it gives an error... i'll wait till after the update is finished | 19:01 |
| bazhang | hanscom, the monitor resolution? | 19:01 |
| hanscom | xdpyinfo | grep 'dimensions:' ? | 19:01 |
| RedViper | bazhang: I will try now. | 19:02 |
| Doonz | hey whats the command to see what speeds my ethernet adapter is running at | 19:02 |
| bazhang | newtoubuntu, yes, you can only have a single instance of apt running at a time | 19:02 |
| kim__ | hi, skype 4.0 for linux has released, is there any ubuntu repo for it? the one from which i've installed the current one doesn't have it yet | 19:02 |
| kim__ | (i prefer repos instead of the file from the website) | 19:02 |
| bazhang | kim__, outside of a PPA, doubtful | 19:02 |
| Cottus | Doonz, ethtool | 19:03 |
| bazhang | Doonz, ifconfig you mean? or what | 19:03 |
| SirTravers | Kim I pulled it from their site with no trouble. just save the deb and install it once its downloaded | 19:03 |
| hanscom | Cottus: Try this command xrandr | grep '*' | 19:03 |
| SirTravers | worked fine | 19:03 |
| bazhang | Doonz, are you trying to add that to conky? | 19:03 |
| Cottus | thnx | 19:04 |
| hanscom | Cottus: grep is a funny command | 19:04 |
| Cottus | heh | 19:04 |
| Doonz | bazhang no im trying to see what speed my vm thinks the network card is | 19:05 |
| chimney | escott: SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="*", ATTRS{idProduct}=="*", GROUP="audio", MODE="0666" | 19:05 |
| chimney | escott: does this makes any sense? | 19:05 |
| escott | chimney, as a udev rule. udev doesnt do the mounting so i doubt permissions there would do anything | 19:05 |
| escott | chimney, and it would be very weird if udisks used udev rules for config | 19:06 |

| RedViper | Myrtti: Sorry what do you mean by OTR? | 19:09 |
| bazhang | RedViper, open a terminal: type ifconfig | 19:09 |
| chimney | which UDisks wrapper is the one for ubuntu preinstalled? | 19:10 |

| SunSoul | Can someone take a look at the PasteBin file I have here. Trying to do what nother user recommened for EFI boot Ubuntu 12.04. Recommended this wiki. So I am following. | 19:12 |
| SunSoul | http://pastebin.com/3JM0VYUU | 19:12 |
| chimney | how is the program called, that makes the usb-automounting in ubuntu? | 19:13 |
| escott | SunSoul, why not just install grub-efi | 19:13 |
| newtoubuntu | doesn't skype allow video calls on ubuntu? | 19:13 |
| === Spacewalker is now known as BaNa2 | ||
| SunSoul | escott, if I do that, will it automate the proccess for me? | 19:13 |
| RedViper | bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1044509/ ? | 19:13 |
| OerHeks | newtoubuntu, what is your real question? | 19:13 |
| escott | SunSoul, not knowing what wiki you are following i dont know what process you are talking about. but grub-efi is the package you are supposed to install | 19:14 |
| escott | !info grub-efi | 19:14 |
| ubottu | grub-efi (source: grub2): GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (dummy package). In component main, is extra. Version 1.99-21ubuntu3 (precise), package size 1 kB, installed size 21 kB (Only available for any-i386; any-amd64; any-powerpc; any-ppc64; any-sparc; any-mipsel; i386; kopensolaris-i386; amd64; powerpc; ppc64; sparc; mipsel; kfreebsd-i386; kfreebsd-amd64) | 19:14 |
| bazhang | RedViper, does it show eth0 | 19:14 |
| newtoubuntu | does skype allow video calls? | 19:14 |
| SirTravers | newtoubuntu, yes it does | 19:14 |

| lec_ | Hello! I am having some problems with my soundblaster titanium (ctxfi emu20k2) card under the 3.2.0 kernel images - the spdif capture seems to be missing (from arecord -l) and doesn't work, but it's fine under kernel 3.0.0-12 | 19:15 |
| newtoubuntu | sirtravers, i don't see the option for the same... maybe after ubuntu update completes | 19:15 |
| bazhang | RedViper, from the ifconfig command: does it show eth0 | 19:15 |
| HSimpson | Quick networking question: I have two interfaces (eth0 and wlan0) and they are both configured for DHCP pn /etc/netowrk/interfaces. How come they BOTH assigna default gateway (verifiable on 'route -n') ? Shouldn´t it be just ONE default gw ??? | 19:16 |
| newmacair | have you guys been hearing from people with new macs? | 19:17 |
| SirTravers | yes give the updates time to work. once they are done go into the software center and look up "ubuntu restricted extras" that will install a lot of extras that can't be put in the original ISO for various reasons | 19:17 |
| newmacair | because the new boot camp is confusing and has no obvious mac option | 19:17 |
| newmacair | *ubuntu option | 19:17 |
| bazhang | newmacair, ubuntu support issue? | 19:17 |
| RedViper | bazhang: Everthing it showed I put in the paste bin you should see it. I dont really understand where it should show. Sorry to frustrate you on this situation, I dont know my way round that much - New user :D\ | 19:17 |
| === yougg_ is now known as yougg | ||
| nannes | !pastebinit | 19:17 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 19:17 |
| SunSoul | escott so if I install grub-efi. How would I go about doing that? Since Ubuntu is installed already, would I just boot to a Live Image, and issue the command to install? | 19:17 |
| SirTravers | also if you want to use the webcam with flash stuff and it won't work directly you can dowload a program called webcamstudio that works great. | 19:18 |
| newmacair | yeah, it makes you choose from one of three options in boot camp, all of which are related to Windows 7 | 19:18 |
| escott | SunSoul, never done an efi install myself. so i cant really say | 19:18 |
| newtoubuntu | so, no antivirus essential? | 19:18 |
| SirTravers | never had a virus problem...been using ubuntu since version 8.04 | 19:19 |
| SunSoul | ok escott . I will try grub-efi and see how it goes. | 19:19 |
| RedViper | bazhang: If you mean the menu then no, it still says no network connection? | 19:19 |
| bazhang | RedViper, no. from the terminal, you typed ifconfig. there was some output there/did it show eth0 | 19:20 |
| newtoubuntu | sirtravers still for protection sake? | 19:20 |
| SirTravers | no viruses written to attack linux | 19:20 |
| RedViper | bazhang: All it showed was what I put in the paste bin, everything that came up in the terminal I put in paste bin????? | 19:21 |
| newtoubuntu | sirtravers and the inbuilt firewall sufficient? does it prompt like zonealarm if any program tries to connect to thw web? | 19:21 |
| bazhang | newtoubuntu, install gufw if you wish a gui for ufw | 19:21 |
| bazhang | !ufw | newtoubuntu | 19:21 |
| ubottu | newtoubuntu: 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. | 19:21 |
| SirTravers | aye...what they said hehe | 19:22 |
| SirTravers | thanks y'all | 19:22 |
| newtoubuntu | ok | 19:22 |
| RedViper | bazhang: It had eth0 the stuff to the right the under that wa lo and stuff to the right. If you mean that the yes it did show? | 19:23 |
| bazhang | RedViper, in terminal, type sudo dhclient eth0 | 19:24 |
| RedViper | Ok | 19:24 |
| HSimpson | Quick networking question: I have two interfaces (eth0 and wlan0) and they are both configured for DHCP pn /etc/netowrk/interfaces. How come they BOTH assigna default gateway (verifiable on 'route -n') ? Shouldn´t it be just ONE default gw ??? | 19:24 |
| escott | RedViper, you said this happened when the system was suspended. i wonder if the module needs to be reprobed or something | 19:24 |
| RedViper | escott: Yes It bomb when it was suspended. | 19:25 |
| escott | RedViper, you could check "lsmod" to see if the driver is loaded | 19:27 |
| newmacair | Mac Airs are capable of working in 64 bit, right? | 19:28 |
| RedViper | bazhang: Here take a look, this is what came up - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1044533/ | 19:28 |
| hanscom | With Unity you do realize there is no desktop laucher right ? | 19:28 |

| dreadiscool | Can someone help me convert xp to ubuntu? I downloaded the ISO i don't know how to mount it now :( | 19:30 |
| UbuPet | :)))) | 19:31 |
| SirTravers | burn the iso to a disc | 19:31 |
| RedViper | bazhang: escott: I can access the internet but on the top menu it says that there is no connection. I am confused now??? | 19:31 |
| SirTravers | leave the disc in and reboot the system | 19:31 |
| escott | dreadiscool, you can't "convert" but you can burn the iso to disk and then use that to install ubuntu alongside windows or just replace windows | 19:31 |
| dreadiscool | can i put it on a flash drive instead? | 19:31 |
| UbuPet | maby install ubuntu insite windows | 19:31 |
| dreadiscool | no i dont want xp anymore, i want to get rid of it | 19:31 |

| dreadiscool | i didnt see it D: | 19:32 |
| SirTravers | sure is :) | 19:32 |

| RedViper | escott: It does not seem to do anything. Is it eth0 with a zero or ethO with a capital OOOO? | 19:39 |
| escott | RedViper, with a zero | 19:40 |
| escott | RedViper, you could also just drop the 0 entirely | 19:40 |

| Slart | joel135: I think they use the same mechanism under the hood.. not sure if there is a difference or it's just historical reasons for there being two commands doing the same thing.. | 20:04 |
| shadykhan | escott, how do you fix without rebooting? | 20:04 |
| newtoubuntu | sirtravers that worked wonderfully | 20:04 |
| Slart | matelot: that unzipped tar.. is it source code? or just a packed binary? | 20:04 |
| SirTravers | cool deal newtoubuntu | 20:05 |
| matelot | Slart: just packaged binary, python app actually | 20:05 |
| matelot | no need to make | 20:05 |
| Slart | matelot: python apps usually have a setup.py file wich can do the actual install for you | 20:05 |

| newtoubuntu | in gufw i'd like the firewall to prompt me every time an outgoing connection is made by a program and have an option to deny... how to proceed? | 20:06 |
| Slart | matelot: but if I was installing a python app manually I would create the folder first and then copy the files.. doesn't matter how you do these, nautilus, gnome-commander, terminal.. it all ends up being the same thing in the end | 20:06 |
| matelot | Slart: Not this one this is "sublime text" http://www.sublimetext.com/2 | 20:07 |
| escott | joel135, Slart the manpage describes everything | 20:07 |

| newtoubuntu | but i thought linux was meant to be configured to individual tastes... but then it'll take a while to learn the ropes | 20:12 |

| SirTravers | i'm sure it can be done yes. | 20:13 |
| SirTravers | just not my forte | 20:13 |
| n-iCe | joel135: still there? | 20:13 |
| joel135 | n-iCe: the second command changed ownership of a folder AND its contents. to revert it, we need to know the previous owner of the folder AND the files within it | 20:13 |
| n-iCe | joel135: torro was the owner | 20:13 |
| marc_12314 | I replaced a drive in my raid1 array, then did "mdadm --add /dev/md1 /dev/sdc1"… but I still have over 10h before completion… is it safe to shutdown the server while the array is being reconstructed or do I have to wait that long? | 20:14 |
| joel135 | n-iCe: torro was the owner of /etc/skel? then we're done | 20:15 |

| gmachine_24 | Hi. Want to copy a bunch of music files (all in folders by title & band name) to another computer over my home network. SSH installed on both machines. Having trouble with just being able open the network share and cut and paste. | 20:19 |
| SirTravers | Kartagis, non tech answer from experience....seems the mic defaults to mute on a reboot for me | 20:19 |
| SirTravers | also if ya have a webcam with a mic and a separate mic...gotta select the source you want to use | 20:19 |
| joel135 | gmachine_24 are you familiar with the terminal? because then there is the command scp. otherwise, install filezilla | 20:20 |
| SirTravers | just what i've run into | 20:20 |
| Kartagis | SirTravers: checked, nothing is muted here | 20:20 |
| gmachine_24 | joel135, yes I like the terminal | 20:20 |
| escott | gmachine_24, use rsync or scp | 20:20 |
| gmachine_24 | ok, scp it is. thanks. | 20:21 |
| SirTravers | more than one input source in the sound settings window? | 20:21 |
| HelloWorld321 | bak. Tx dlentz, Chuck_Norris for your help earlier. I have the onboard intel video card, and I've removed the nVidia drivers, and as you suspected, I found a reference to "nvidia" for "Device0" in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Remove it? Replace it? | 20:22 |
| escott | HelloWorld321, remove the xorg.conf entirely | 20:22 |
| HelloWorld321 | mv xorg.conf xorg.bad | 20:22 |
| HelloWorld321 | tx. Escott. moved. reboot? | 20:23 |
| escott | HelloWorld321, or sudo service lightdm restart | 20:23 |
| marc_12314 | escott: alright, thanks! | 20:24 |
| HelloWorld321 | I went with the sudo shutdown -r now; because I was oeprating from an ssh window on another machine. I've rebooted, and I'm still getting the message that "Yuor screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself." What's the next step to configure them myself now that I've removed the xorg.conf file and rebooted? | 20:26 |
| escott | HelloWorld321, running Xorg --configure? | 20:27 |
| n-iCe | Hello guys, is there any application to make a .iso of my whole linux distro? in order to install it later? or in other computer? thanks | 20:28 |
| escott | n-iCe, there are various approaches like !clone, or !remaster, or straight backup imaging with dd, but it only makes sense if the hardware is identical | 20:29 |
| chakal^-^ | for example AcetoneISO | 20:29 |
| rainbowwarrior2 | hi all, i am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a compaq cq60 and my wireless card is no longer auto connecting to my wifi network , instead now i have to open a terminal and type in " sudo rfkill unblock all then " iwlist wlan0 scan " and log out and then log back in again and hold the wifi button next to the power button and then after a few mins it connects to my network, anyone got any idea how i can get it to auto connect again like i | 20:33 |
| rainbowwarrior2 | t should as it only recently started doing this since i was on holiday a few days ago ? " | 20:33 |
| BenW | hello. i can't seem to get ATI drivers of any kind to work with ubuntu. It's a Compaq Evo N1000c with ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 which should be supported but it seems as if it's running vesa perhaps? | 20:35 |
| BenW | Is there a way to display what driver is currently being used? | 20:36 |
| T0mas | Anyone know how to enable internal bluetooth? The device exists but doesn't show up on lsusb | 20:36 |
| SirTravers | Ben Yep | 20:36 |
| SirTravers | in a terminal type "fglrxinfo" | 20:36 |
| SirTravers | that will show the ati driver info | 20:37 |
| escott | rainbowwarrior2, you might add the rfkill command to /etc/rc.local | 20:37 |
| BenW | command not found.. | 20:37 |
| ki4ro | rainbowwarrior2: Had a similar prob with my wife's compaq...have a look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1810193 | 20:37 |
| rainbowwarrior2 | ok ty escott | 20:37 |
| T0mas | Someone got it working with HCIBTUSB some years ago, but I understand it's now btusb . | 20:37 |
| rainbowwarrior2 | ok ty ki4ro | 20:38 |
| BenW | Not sure if it matters but I'm running xubuntu. Same difference | 20:38 |
| SirTravers | ok so try this "lspci | grep VGA" | 20:38 |
| BenW | yep. shows the hardware info | 20:39 |
| HelloWorld321 | k, so abuot my video drivers. I removed the /etc/X11/Xorg.conf , and now I see why, that whole file is "deprecated", and the system now uses /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d instead. I tried to configure, and failed because "Number of screens does not match number of detected devices". | 20:39 |
| SirTravers | now compare it to the output of this "grep 'Monitor name' /var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 20:39 |
| HelloWorld321 | If I have Precise Pangolin, should I be using sudo Xorg -configure, or sudo X -configure? | 20:39 |
| T0mas | Bluetooth has never worked on this computer (for four years) so I'm determined to make it work | 20:40 |
| escott | HelloWorld321, you need to disable that nvidia driver in the bios | 20:41 |
| BenW | SirTravers - ok? not sure what i'm comparing | 20:42 |
| BenW | Nothing matches? | 20:42 |
| SirTravers | the second one should show which vid driver is in use at the moment compared to what card you have | 20:42 |
| BenW | it doesn't | 20:42 |
| HelloWorld321 | SirTravers, not sure if you're talking to me, but my lspci | grep VGA says "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)" | 20:43 |
| BenW | HelloWorld, he's talking to me | 20:44 |
| BenW | would it be between the ( )? | 20:44 |
| BenW | because it shows (**) | 20:44 |

| SirTravers | ok thinkin......i've got an ATI card. I download the updated drivers from aMD's site... | 20:45 |
| SirTravers | currently the drivers are up to version 12.4 | 20:46 |
| BenW | aticonfig says there's no compatible hardware... | 20:46 |
| SirTravers | mine is the hd 3200 so not quite the same, but they have a click through menu to get the right driver | 20:46 |
| HelloWorld321 | escott: the nvidia card was fried at Meek Maverick. Whenever I do an upgrade (like the Precise Pangolin LTS) the video drivers end up fried. Last time I did a full install, but now I'm getting good enough at linux that I think I need to struggle through this. And probably take good notes, too, in case I don't settle it once and for all. | 20:47 |
| BenW | I can't get the window to even open for it. just fusses that there's no compatible hardware basically | 20:47 |
| SirTravers | Ben you runnin 64 bit? | 20:47 |
| BenW | no, 32 | 20:47 |
| SirTravers | ok no problem there | 20:47 |
| === Swish[\] is now known as Swish | ||
| SirTravers | you been to AMD's site for the driver yet? | 20:47 |
| BenW | no, i got what was in the software center | 20:48 |
| HelloWorld321 | Is sudo sufficient to run Xorg -config ? I see in man Xorg that it wants to be root. | 20:48 |
| BenW | i tried to go through ATIs site and it shoves windows drivers in my face when i pick linux | 20:48 |
| escott | HelloWorld321, i avoid nvidia so i dont really know. but with a laptop with switchable graphics you either disable the high end graphics or you use bumblebee/vgaswitcheroo | 20:48 |
| SirTravers | ok to start you'll want to uninstall what you used from the software center to get a fresh start. | 20:48 |
| BenW | ok | 20:48 |
| SirTravers | then goto AMD's driver download page and grab the right version for your card and download it | 20:49 |
| SirTravers | once you have it downloaded you'll right click the file...goto properties....permissions...and click on make executable. | 20:50 |
| BenW | ooo i found fglrxinfo, had to do sudo | 20:50 |
| BenW | ok... shows Mesa? | 20:50 |
| SirTravers | yeah if it shows mesa that's the opensource driver | 20:50 |
| SirTravers | when you click the downloaded file tell it to "run in terminal" then just follow the prompts for the standard install. | 20:51 |
| rainbowwarrior2 | who ever it was who was helping me a minute ago , im afraid i tried what that thread said and i still have same problem | 20:51 |
| SirTravers | it'll tell you to reboot once then you can go into the catalyst control center as admin to set your options properly. | 20:52 |

| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - yes and it says 3.2.0-25-generic | 21:32 |
| jasonbourne | so I guess it didn't install it | 21:33 |
| Geodesical | jaginess: would I have to open the actual computer to find that out? | 21:33 |
| jagginess | Lafiir, ya that does sound weird.. system probably sees it as a read-only device | 21:33 |

| Guest70854 | How do I change keyboard language in KDE? | 21:35 |
| jasonbourne | thought it would've installed it automatically | 21:35 |
| tylerflint | what I'm trying to do is catch a umount command | 21:35 |
| Geodesical | jaginess: dmidecode gets me #dmidecode 2.11 | 21:35 |
| tylerflint | usually in RedHat distros I can just create a /sbin/umount.type executable | 21:35 |
| Guest70854 | I am trying to type in russian in KDE but I do not know how to change keyboard settings | 21:35 |
| tylerflint | for some reason that doesn't work in precise | 21:35 |
| jasonbourne | Guest70854 - try checking in settings... | 21:36 |
| Guest70854 | I did | 21:36 |
| kim__ | hello, is there anyone from Chile? | 21:36 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, (maybe later for dmidecode to show more stuff), but aplay --list, would show the playable devices | 21:36 |
| gmachine_24 | jasonbourne, did you try $sudo aptitude update /// then $sudo aptitude upgrade | 21:36 |
| Jordan_U | tylerflint: "catch" for what purpose? | 21:37 |
| Guest70854 | I added russian as a preferred language. In unity, I can switch easily between languages but in KDE it won't. | 21:37 |
| Lafiir | jagginess: Why is it listed there in the first place (bug with truecrypt?) and why this size? | 21:37 |
| goventus | hello world | 21:37 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - not yet... | 21:37 |
| Guest70854 | I got the language bar to pop up in the kde panel but it has no options. | 21:37 |
| gmachine_24 | jasonbourne, I use 'aptitude' when I want to make sure everything is installed | 21:37 |
| gmachine_24 | and #25 is available and installed using aptitude | 21:37 |
| tylerflint | Jordan_U: well, it's complicated, and mostly related to the fuse adapter and bind mounting | 21:37 |
| jagginess | Lafiir, maybe udev should ignore that device.. or try to make udev call truecrypt if it detects that device | 21:38 |
| HelloWorld321 | Hello goventus | 21:38 |
| Geodesical | jaginess: aplay --list-devices gives me card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC880 Analog [ALC880 Analog] with 1/1 subdevices. | 21:38 |
| goventus | does anyone use TIER? | 21:38 |
| Guest70854 | Does anyone use KDE? | 21:38 |
| Jordan_U | tylerflint: Try explaining it. | 21:38 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - I understand but the download was automatic while the machine was running...wasn't started by me....but I'm running the update now to see if it installs it now... | 21:38 |
| gmachine_24 | jasonbourne, but a lot of times packages are kept back for what reasons I'm not sure.... this is above my pay grade | 21:39 |
| tylerflint | Jordan_U: well, I'm hosting a couple of clients on a single server, I use lxc and openvz to namespace "containerize" them... | 21:39 |
| goventus | HelloWorld321: nice nickname =) | 21:39 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - just ran both and nothing...maybe I'm seeing things...hehehe... | 21:39 |
| jasonbourne | ?? | 21:39 |
| Geodesical | goventus: lol mindless chatter... | 21:40 |
| gmachine_24 | jasonbourne, nothing as in........? | 21:40 |
| tylerflint | Jordan_U: I have a glusterfs storage cluster, and I mount a volume to the host machine via the gluster fuse adapter | 21:40 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 21:40 |
| goventus | Geodesical, me? | 21:40 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - ran the update and upgrade but nothing happened... | 21:40 |
| Geodesical | jaginess: thanks bro. | 21:40 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, do you get "disagress about version of symbol" with dmesg ? | 21:40 |
| HelloWorld321 | jagginess: is there one like that for video? | 21:40 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, dmesg |grep snd_hda_intel | 21:40 |
| tylerflint | Jordan_U: then I bind mount specific directories into the containers for the clients | 21:41 |
| Geodesical | goventus: yeah, I tried to make chatter with another person once on #ubuntu... I got kicked out... | 21:41 |
| === michael is now known as mikefarr | ||
| gmachine_24 | jasonbourne, my computer is installing 3.2.0-25-generic | 21:41 |
| tylerflint | Jordan_U: it works great... except when any of the clients do a umount -f on the bind mounts, it propogates to the fuse adapter and the fuse adapter terminates the session | 21:41 |
| Geodesical | jaginess: does that go into the terminal? | 21:42 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, try with sudo | 21:42 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - automatically?? | 21:42 |
| brandonbolton | Is there a way to install Ubuntu Server without a CD drive? I try via usb but I always get errors. | 21:42 |
| Geodesical | jaginess: what do you mean? | 21:42 |
| tylerflint | Jordan_U: so, I'm trying to add a simple /sbin/umount.fuse.glusterfs executable | 21:42 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, "dmesg | grep snd_hda_intel" <enter> | 21:42 |
| tylerflint | Jordan_U: it works perfectly for any non-ubuntu guests | 21:42 |
| gmachine_24 | I ran $sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade | 21:42 |
| Lafiir | jagginess: calling truecrypt wouldn't make sense, since it has nothing to do with it, it's just listed there. so udev should probably ignore it. whatever it is | 21:43 |
| Geodesical | jaginess: I did so in the terminal. | 21:43 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, or "sudo dmesg | grep snd_hda_intel" <enter> | 21:43 |
| newtoubuntu | when i restart my system screen goes back to lower resolutions despite saving nvidia x display something | 21:43 |
| jagginess | Lafiir, you probably have a special usb-drive that offers a read-only device on it | 21:43 |
| gmachine_24 | jasonbourne, I'm going to reboot and I think et voile it will be installed and working I'll brb | 21:45 |
| Geodesical | jaginess: it gave me "PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16" "irq 45 for MSI/MSI-X" "setting latency timer to 64" | 21:46 |
| Jordan_U | tylerflint: You could try making a /sbin/umount (without a .foo) wrapper. Why are the guests trying to umount -f the bind mounts? | 21:46 |
| tylerflint | Jordan_U: well, the guests aren't themselves, when I say guests I mean the guest OS's. Apparently when ubuntu shuts down it does a umount -f on everything that's mounted | 21:47 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, dmidecode --type 0,1,2 | 21:49 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, acer motherboard? | 21:49 |
| gmachine_24 | jasonbourne, everything installed and running | 21:49 |
| Geodesical | jaginess: I think so, it was meant to run Windows XP. it says "intel inside" on the front. | 21:50 |
| mikefarr | I just intstalled 12.04 - trying to get ubuntu to recognize my usb headset with mic - not working so good - any suggestions? | 21:50 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - well that's the same kernel I have...maybe my old eyes are seeing things.... | 21:50 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, what is the "motherboard" or "board" name as output from dmidecode please.. | 21:51 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, just "intel" * ? | 21:51 |
| gmachine_24 | jasonbourne, this is the one I have installed 3.2.0-25-generic #40 | 21:51 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - but at 39MB I thought for sure it was a new kernel... | 21:51 |
| tylerflint | Jordan_U: what I'd really like to do is see the source that was packaged in the "mount" package | 21:51 |
| === alazare619_ is now known as alazare619 | ||
| tylerflint | Jordan_U: this is the package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/mount | 21:52 |
| Jordan_U | tylerflint: apt-get source mount # Will download the source package to your current directory. | 21:52 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - maybe it was a *service* pack of some type for the kernel already present (?) | 21:52 |
| tylerflint | Jordan_U: oh nice, let me try that | 21:52 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, (you may need to use sudo for that dmidecode command) | 21:52 |
| gmachine_24 | jasonbourne, so you have 3.2.0-25 installed? | 21:52 |
| finaltek | Heyt | 21:52 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - yep.... | 21:53 |
| Geodesical | jaginess: is SUDO the terminal? | 21:53 |
| hekate | Hi, I am trying to format a CD-R that I recently burnt some audio files to. The CD apparently isn't recognized as an audio-cd in cd players though. How do I format the CD to start a-new? Everytime I try to delete the files on it, it says it's a read-only filesystem. | 21:53 |
| gmachine_24 | jasonbourne, well that's the new one | 21:53 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, no sudo is a prefix to superuser commands.. | 21:53 |
| Geodesical | jaginess: you just went way over my head with that. | 21:53 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, sudo is a command, but it is used as a prefix to the actual commands you wish to use as superuser | 21:53 |
| HelloWorld321 | yes. sudo is the terminal. Its short for SuperUserDO, and it will re-run any command you type at a higher system privilege level | 21:53 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - but at 39MB I thought for sure it was a new kernel... | 21:53 |
| Geodesical | jaginess: OH. | 21:53 |
| honey | hi everybody | 21:54 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, superuser do | 21:54 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - but I know I saw a 26 in there.... | 21:54 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - know a command for checking what was installed during last update?? | 21:54 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - or I guess I can check via software center...correct?? | 21:54 |
| tylerflint | Jordan_U: well that's strange, it should be calling that | 21:55 |
| jagginess | HelloComputer15, sudo isnt a terminal.. | 21:55 |
| jagginess | (it's a command in terminal) | 21:55 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - this is what I got from the command line: 3.2.0-25-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 23 20:33:05 | 21:55 |
| gmachine_24 | jasonbourne, I was going to say via Synaptic but the software center probably | 21:55 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - ok..thanks... | 21:55 |
| HelloWorld321 | jagginess: yes, you're right. That's true. It's a command in the terminal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudo | 21:56 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - thanks for your help... | 21:56 |
| species_4981 | please can someone remind me: if I have a file full of numbers in columns and rows and I want to cut some lines out and generate files which are full of parts of this "master" file, is it easily done via something like cat "mainfile" | grep [wanted strings] > "subfile"? | 21:56 |
| gmachine_24 | jasonbourne, but I am going. Going to the ball game tonight. sure thing | 21:56 |
| jasonbourne | gmachine_24 - later... | 21:56 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, also if you need to edit a file in /etc you need to be superuser, you can use "gksudo gedit /etc/somefile" so you can edit it graphically (gksudo can be called from terminal box) | 21:56 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, when sudo prompts for password you type your user password(not superuser's) | 21:57 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, by default the first user is an administrator.. so hopefully you're using the right user account | 21:58 |
| Geodesical | jaginess: yeah, its an Intel board. (Version AAC85199-203, Product Name D915GUX) | 21:58 |
| hekate | Hi, I am trying to format a CD-R that I recently burnt some audio files to. The CD apparently isn't recognized as an audio-cd in cd players though. How do I format the CD to start a-new? Everytime I try to delete the files on it, it says it's a read-only filesystem. | 21:59 |
| Jordan_U | species_4981: 1: Since you have numbers in colums and rows you'll probably want to use awk and 2: "cat" is not needed, grep accepts filenames: grep 'pattern here' filename > subfile | 21:59 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, the objective here is to find out what can be used as the model=<something> for the snd-hda-intel module | 21:59 |
| TheLordOfTime | hekate: did you write the audio files as data, or did you use a program to burn as an audio cd? | 21:59 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt | 22:00 |
| Cyclohexane | is it possible to make tar skip permission denied and not stop to return the error? | 22:00 |
| species_4981 | Jordan_U: brilliant - thanks for the advice. Time to read about awk and also, thanks for the info on grep ... lots to learn | 22:00 |
| Jordan_U | hekate: Use a program like Brasero to make an audio CD. If the CD contains "files" then it's not an audio CD. | 22:00 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, acer's may carry an "intel" board internally, but they are slightly modified.. | 22:00 |
| mikefarr | if anyone has some suggestions about the usb headset / mic just let me know - thanks | 22:00 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, so that's why there are some "acer" thigs mentioned on that url i just posted.. | 22:00 |
| Jordan_U | species_4981: You're welcome. Also, #bash is a great channel for asking about and learning shell scripting. | 22:00 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, you're not using an acer aspire are you or an "acer" model? | 22:01 |
| Geodesical | jagginess: so what exactly should I be looking for? | 22:01 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, do you have an acer? | 22:01 |
| species_4981 | nice one, Jordan_U I shall join it ... I've just started trying to write shell scripts | 22:01 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, or a "branded" built computer? | 22:01 |
| Geodesical | jagginess: no, its gateway. | 22:01 |
| hekate | Jordan_U: ok, but how I can get Brasero to recognize my CD? When I put it in, Nautilus opens up with a listing of the contents of the CD, however when I go to Tools>Blank to erase the CD, Brasero says there is no CD present | 22:02 |
| Jordan_U | hekate: Is it a CDRW or just a CDR? | 22:02 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, the objective here is to find out what can be used as the model=<something> for the snd-hda-intel module | 22:02 |
| Geodesical | jagginess: you said that above. can you put it in laymans' terms please? | 22:03 |
| jagginess | Geodesical, driver options | 22:03 |
| hekate | Jordan_U: CD-R apparently...uhoh, does this mean I can't wipe it? | 22:04 |
| Jordan_U | hekate: Correct. You'll need a new CD. | 22:04 |
| hekate | Jordan_U: I seem to have gotten a box of CD-Rs...I wasn't thinking that day in Walmart | 22:06 |

| newmacair | hi everyone | 22:22 |
| newmacair | well, i'm having issues installing ubuntu on my new mac air | 22:22 |
| newmacair | it's such a pain. they changed bootcamp so you can't really do it that way anymoer | 22:22 |

| lukas | both USB | 22:24 |
| === cornfeed is now known as zz_cornfeed | ||
| Jordan_U | newmacair: Boot camp was never a good way to install GNU/Linux on a Mac. Among other things it creates an ugly hybrid MBR, which is only needed for Windows. | 22:25 |
| newmacair | Jordan U: so, what's the best angle of attack these days? i already have rEFIt installed, and i've downloaded the 64 bit ISO | 22:26 |
| Jordan_U | newmacair: Do you have an external USB CDROM drive which you can use? | 22:26 |
| newmacair | Jordan U: I do not, although i do have a flash drive | 22:26 |

| Jordan_U | newmacair: The process for installing to a mac is easier and more reliable (less likelyhood of graphics driver problems) with a CD, but it can be done with a flash drive instead. Do you have another Ubuntu machine (even just one booted from an Ubuntu LiveCD/USB) which you can use to create the bootable flash drive? | 22:28 |

| Jordan_U | newmacair: The hardware doesn't matter, it's how the USB drive is prepared which matters. I would recommend installing grub-efi to the flash drive and using that to loop boot an Ubuntu iso file. | 22:31 |

| leonardo_ | Hi, I'm using Gnome Classic on Ubuntu 12.04. Does anyone knows how to hide the status bar, I mean, the bar at the bottom? | 22:36 |
| dreadiscool | I downloaded the .iso file from the site, could someone please tell me what to do from here? I don't want to burn a disk, is there some way I can mount it? | 22:36 |
| Evi1john1 | i thought it was the log rotation and the reload of rsyslogd | 22:37 |
| jagginess | dreadiscool, you dont mount a blank disk | 22:37 |
| Evi1john1 | not it | 22:37 |
| dreadiscool | so what do i do withthe iso? | 22:37 |
| newmacair | if i'm making a partition for linux on an imac, what format should it be? | 22:37 |
| dreadiscool | im running xp | 22:37 |

| jagginess | dreadiscool, usb..? there's pendrive.. | 22:38 |
| dreadiscool | I have it on a usb | 22:38 |
| dreadiscool | but the ISO file | 22:38 |
| jagginess | dreadiscool, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ | 22:38 |
| dreadiscool | Is there a way i can do this with the ISO? | 22:38 |
| jagginess | dreadiscool, take that iso file off the usb and place it on your xp harddrve | 22:38 |
| dreadiscool | I don't want to redownload the thing | 22:38 |
| Jordan_U | dreadiscool: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows | 22:38 |
| jagginess | dreadiscool, format that usb device to fat32 | 22:38 |
| dreadiscool | i already wasted like 12 hours of my life downloading the iso | 22:39 |
| Jordan_U | dreadiscool: Nobody has said anything about redownloading the iso. | 22:39 |
| jagginess | dreadiscool, then mount back that fat32 on xp as a G:\ (or some other letter drive), then run the .exe usb-installer tool | 22:39 |
| dreadiscool | I mean I'm sure that you can do it with the ISO, otherwise they wouldn't have put it there right? | 22:39 |
| === miguel is now known as Guest428 | ||
| dreadiscool | whaa | 22:39 |
| jagginess | dreadiscool, read my 3 steps. | 22:39 |
| dreadiscool | So i downloaded the installer | 22:39 |
| dreadiscool | can i select the ISO that I have on the pen drive | 22:39 |
| dreadiscool | from the installer? | 22:39 |
| Jordan_U | dreadiscool: Yes, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows has very clear instructions on how to do this, including screenshots. | 22:40 |
| jagginess | dreadiscool, 1-format fat32 on usb, 2-letter drive on xp for that fat32 3- run the .exe usb-maker --- AND DONT HAVE THE ISO ON THE USB DRIVE (move/copy that to the internal xp drive) | 22:40 |
| Jordan_U | jagginess: I much prefer the official Ubuntu documentation for this (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows). | 22:40 |
| jagginess | Jordan_U, "Page not found" . | 22:41 |
| jagginess | helpful. | 22:41 |
| jagginess | oh without the ) at the end.. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows .. ya that works.. | 22:41 |
| Jordan_U | jagginess: Your IRC client interpreted the ')' as part of the URL. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows | 22:41 |
| jagginess | however it fails to mention fo format fat32 for the usb device.. | 22:41 |
| Jordan_U | jagginess: Very few people have anything but fat32 flash drives, especially those coming from Windows. | 22:42 |
| === sony is now known as Guest1561 | ||
| dreadiscool | So I move the iSO to the desktop? | 22:42 |
| dreadiscool | cause the installer says that | 22:42 |
| dreadiscool | it says "Browse to your Ubuntu 12.04 something *DESKTOP* iso" | 22:43 |
| jagginess | Jordan_U, it's better to start from fresh.. best to format it imho either there's a fat32 there already or not.. | 22:43 |
| jagginess | (quickly or not) | 22:43 |
| jagginess | dreadiscool, yes | 22:43 |
| Jordan_U | jagginess: Why? What good does reformatting do? | 22:43 |
| jagginess | dreadiscool, the usb-maker extracts the iso and copies the extraction to the usb device | 22:43 |
| jagginess | Jordan_U, ensures he uses fat32 -- true it can be optional.. he's already past that | 22:44 |
| Jordan_U | dreadiscool: The iso filename has the word "desktop" in it, that refers to its intention to be used on "desktop" (or laptop/nebook) computers as opposed to servers. | 22:44 |
| jagginess | lol | 22:44 |
| jagginess | i think he knows that. he was asking to "move" the iso to the desktop. | 22:44 |

| dreadiscool | i restart, and then what? | 22:47 |
| jagginess | dreadiscool, ya | 22:47 |

| jagginess | lukas, try to boot into rescue. add " 1" (without quotes) to the end of the kernel bootline and hit f10.. that'll bring you to console at the very least.. | 22:49 |
| jagginess | lukas, from there.. | 22:49 |
| newmacair | Jordan_U: I'm going to try now, i'll let you know | 22:50 |
| lukas | jagginess, but in rescue keyboard also don't work | 22:50 |
| newmacair | rEFIt didn't recognize the last one | 22:50 |
| jagginess | lukas, you can try to explore what the problem is concerning X's configuration-- because if you hve keyboard access in plaintext.. then it's something with X | 22:50 |
| romici | Random832: Yes, I have toggled on/off back and forth, because above VPN connections it says that the wireless is disabled by hardware switch. But I don't get it, since I turn it on and off and back on, and it doesn't recognize it! | 22:50 |

| zykotick9 | GeekAdmin: it's very doubtful that adding virtual memory (swap) will speed up your system at all | 23:05 |
| jagginess | newmacair, then try to use a cd.. | 23:05 |
| wilee-nilee | GeekAdmin, depends on the limitations you have overall, but barely noticeable it is more likely to be running slower if the swap is used live. | 23:05 |
| jagginess | newmacair, pm? | 23:05 |
| jagginess | i dont think anyone else is using mac here? (except me of course) | 23:05 |
| jagginess | (and newmacair) | 23:05 |
| GeekAdmin | wilee-nilee: THANKS. you saved me a lot of time | 23:05 |
| jagginess | :p | 23:05 |

| jagginess | Jordan_U, mac people need refit (just fyi) | 23:06 |
| jakupl | Hello :) I Need to make sed delete everything up to and including the 6th "|" in every line. Is this possible? | 23:06 |
| wilee-nilee | GeekAdmin, cool look up swappiness on the web though you can change when the swap is actually used somewhat. | 23:06 |
| Jordan_U | jagginess: I'm very familiar with booting on intel macs. | 23:06 |
| jagginess | Jordan_U, i dont need that ubottu message thanks. | 23:06 |
| jagginess | lol | 23:06 |
| Jordan_U | jagginess: It's better to keep support discussion in-channel so that others can contribute and ensure that good advice is being given. | 23:07 |

| dsnyders | Hi all! Is there any good music composing software for linux? | 23:10 |
| Chuck_Norris | dsnyders: http://ardour.org/ | 23:11 |
| mz|` | dsnyders: install an audio/video specific dsitribution | 23:12 |
| mz|` | like openartist/ubuntu studio/etc | 23:12 |
| mz|` | which will have all needed components | 23:12 |
| Chuck_Norris | yes, and a low latency kernel | 23:13 |
| mz|` | you mean rt ? | 23:13 |
| dsnyders | mz|`, That's going a little overboard. | 23:13 |
| Chuck_Norris | yes | 23:13 |
| graft | hi, according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/flashplugin-installer, my version should be 11.2.202.236ubuntu0.12.04.1, but apt-cache policy (from ubuntu.wikimedia.org) only shows 11.2.202.233ubuntu2 | 23:14 |
| graft | it's been this way for days - what gives? | 23:14 |
| Jordan_U | dsnyders: Most "professional" audio software uses Jack, which at least in the past has been difficult to setup. If you start with Ubuntu Studio you get Jack (and other nice things) setup by default. | 23:14 |
| Jordan_U | graft: That mirror may be out of date. Try a different one. | 23:15 |
| moni | i love cj | 23:15 |
| graft | Jordan_U: why would a mirror be out of date, and how can i know? | 23:15 |
| moni | hay | 23:16 |
| Jordan_U | graft: Somebody (or some automated process somebody set up) needs to grab new packages from the main servers as they are added. If that process / person breaks or is slow then the mirror might not be up to date. As far as I know, the only way you test that is by doing exactly what you've done (check what should be the latest available version of a package, vs what apt-cache policy shows). | 23:18 |
| moni | mvnfjnnnjd | 23:18 |
| Jordan_U | graft: Also, I assume you've already done this but, "sudo apt-get update". | 23:18 |
| SonhadorPR | hello all!! still having problems connecting my laptop to wifi, after it had been working in the last 15 mins..now the Enable Wireless option in the networking drop-down menu is gray or shaded, or unselectable. How can I connect the wifi again? Right now, I'm connected through Eth direct to the router. | 23:19 |
| Jordan_U | moni: Do you have any Ubuntu support question? | 23:19 |
| dreadiscool | Can someone please help me, whenever I try booting ubuntu 12.04 from my usb stick, it says that im missing some kernel thing called "pae" | 23:19 |
| graft | Jordan_U: yeah, multiple times :) hmm, i assumed ubuntu pushed to mirrors, not vice-versa. i guess i'll pick a new one | 23:19 |
| trism | graft: do you have -updates/-security enabled? | 23:19 |
| moni | wat r u doing | 23:20 |
| graft | trism: yes | 23:20 |
| Jordan_U | dreadiscool: Could you write down, or post a picture (taken with a camera) of the exact error message? | 23:20 |
| dsnyders | Chuck_Norris, Jordan_U, I'm not looking for professional grade music studio software. I'm just looking for something I can hack around on; a software synthesizer. | 23:21 |
| Jordan_U | !ot | moni | 23:21 |
| ubottu | moni: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 23:21 |
| dreadiscool | It says Failed to find kernel. You need one of the following: | 23:21 |
| dreadiscool | pae | 23:21 |
| trism | graft: yeah probably try a different mirror, the mirror list has it as 'last update unknown' | 23:21 |
| Jordan_U | dreadiscool: I think an actual picture of the error message would still be helpful if it's not too much trouble. | 23:22 |
| dreadiscool | ok | 23:22 |
| graft | trism: yeah, using the US main makes it better- where do you see that mirror list update unknown dealy? | 23:23 |
| Jordan_U | dreadiscool: You can upload the image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add | 23:23 |

| SonhadorPR | hello all!! Newbie here! I'm having problems connecting my laptop to my home's wife. At the moment, the Enable Wireless option on the networking drop-down menu is uunselected, and I cannot select it. It doesn't let me turn on the wirless, How can I fix? | 23:25 |
| Jordan_U | f3e: SHA-512 | 23:25 |
| graft | trism: neat thanks | 23:25 |
| mz|` | SonhadorPR: you disabled it by turn off with a physical button, or you fo not have the driver | 23:25 |
| f3e | Jordan_U, Thanks. | 23:25 |

| SonhadorPR | I have a physical switch, I turn it off/on, and it doesn't respond. My WiFi was working fine 15-20 mins ago...don't understand. So you are saying I have to install restricted drivers?? | 23:27 |
| mz|` | SonhadorPR: if it has already worked, no. it is another issue. | 23:28 |
| OerHeks | f3e, Jordan_U > NBS DES algorithm >> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/passwd.1.html | 23:29 |
| Jordan_U | OerHeks: f3e: Read carefully "The legacy UNIX System encryption method is based on the NBS DES algorithm. More recent methods are now recommended (see ENCRYPT_METHOD). | 23:30 |
| OerHeks | oh my bad | 23:31 |
| SonhadorPR | mz|: suggestions? | 23:31 |
| Jordan_U | OerHeks: f3e: If you look in /etc/shadow at the password field for your user you will see something starting with $6$, which means SHA-512 (see man crypt). | 23:31 |

| bor0 | has anyone tried to build qutecom-2.2.1 on Ubuntu? I am having problems building it, I installed all dependencies but it throws an error on FindUUID (uuid from e2fsprogs) which I already have installed | 23:38 |
| Sparky712 | sorry bout my impatience, but... thats it, im going to go uninstall, and try reinstalling ubuntu again. hopefully no errors this time. | 23:39 |
| trism | bor0: looking at the build-deps, I think you may actually want uuid-dev (if this is 11.10-12.04 it's in the repos so you don't need to build it) | 23:45 |
| bor0 | trism, thanks! that actually solved the problem | 23:45 |

| dreadiscool | can someone please tell me how to boot the ubuntu os from my flash drive? | 23:54 |
| dreadiscool | i mounted it and all | 23:54 |
| dreadiscool | but i keep getting this exact error message | 23:54 |
| dreadiscool | This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: | 23:54 |
| dreadiscool | pae | 23:54 |
| dreadiscool | Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU | 23:55 |
| dreadiscool | that's all ._. | 23:55 |
| TheLordOfTime | dreadiscool: are you on a 32bit or 64bit system? | 23:55 |
| dreadiscool | 32 | 23:56 |
| TheLordOfTime | and is the ubuntu you installed onto the usb a 32bit os or a 64bit? | 23:56 |
| jagginess | dreadiscool, then it should be i386 or 32bit | 23:56 |
| TheLordOfTime | ^ | 23:56 |
| dreadiscool | the 32bit | 23:56 |
| TheLordOfTime | make sure of that | 23:56 |
| dreadiscool | i specifically remember getting the 32bit | 23:56 |
| TheLordOfTime | also, if its a PAE kernel (it might be) | 23:56 |
| TheLordOfTime | make sure to use the non-PAE one instead | 23:56 |
| TheLordOfTime | (your CPU might not support PAE) | 23:56 |
| aFeijo | hi guys, I'm trying to install Ubuntu in this Asus Netbook eeepc 1008p, but it does not boot it thru my USB, I already accessed the BIOS and set the Removable Drive to be the first one, yet it try to load the OEM windows 7 starter :( | 23:57 |
| dreadiscool | how do u use the non PAE one | 23:57 |
| dreadiscool | do i have to redownload... | 23:57 |
| dreadiscool | :( | 23:57 |
| jagginess | aFeijo, i had a problem with a netbook. | 23:57 |
| jagginess | aFeijo, take out the usb. and fully power it off.. fully | 23:57 |
| aFeijo | jagginess, this damn thing is taking half hour to power up that lame win7 | 23:57 |
| oceane | salut les gens | 23:58 |
| aFeijo | jagginess, it was fully powered off, stoped working 1 month ago, even the battery was down, I had to plug it | 23:58 |
| jagginess | aFeijo, (optional: take out the battery and re-insert it, not joking)-- plug in usb. then power on.. try to hit the 'boot' menu key.. it may be f2, f10, f11..etc etc.. (keep tapping that boot menu key fast-- and make sure of course this key isnt deactivated in the bios) | 23:58 |
| aFeijo | jagginess, ok I'll try it | 23:59 |
| jagginess | aFeijo, only plug in usb after it is on poweroff | 23:59 |
