[00:00] usr13 Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-libc-dev_3.2.0-24.39_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.25 80] [00:00] ( it rhymes ) [00:00] zidpod: host us.archive.ubuntu.com [00:01] If I want to rsync to a webdav share, can I do so through .gvfs when its mounted? or is that a bad idea? [00:02] usr13 huh? anyways I just tried sudo apt-get update --fix-missing (it suggested I tried that), and now it is downloading I think... but it is a different build [00:03] zidpod: sudo apt-get install linux-libc-dev [00:03] zidpod: uname -a [00:04] zidpod: (tell us your kernel version number) [00:04] usr13, is there a way i can repair the install - I tried doing wubi to fix but it wont install if there is already an installation [00:04] now how do you change the size of a brush? [00:05] mikefarr: I don't know much about wubi Maybe someone else on here can give you some advise. But I'm pretty sure that if you try to install again over an existing install, you're not going to have any success. [00:05] usr13 after I sudo apt-get update --fix-missing, sudo apt-get install linux-libc-dev installed with a different build number, 3.2.0_25.??, and it says I am using 3.2.0.24 [00:05] that might be a problem... [00:05] usr13, any other suggestions then [00:06] Hello, everyone. Has anyone knowledge of the mini.iso and Realtek wireless cards? I can't access the Internet without dragging my PC over to the home office router. [00:06] shoot, it looks like I just needed to install updates, sorry, thanks for the help usr13 [00:06] zidpod: I dono. [00:07] hey, youtube's colors are all weird.... anyone see this before?... Im running chrome on pangolin [00:07] zidpod: yes, if you have yet to do updates, do that for sure. If you have done updates and have a new kernel that was one of the updates, you need to reboot. [00:07] lawltoad: flash+nvidia bug [00:07] lawltoad: yeah, I had the same problem, there was a guide on askubuntu on how to fix it, try looking there [00:07] lawltoad: you can right click on Settings and disable hardware accel as a temporary workaround [00:07] lawltoad: send me a screenshot. that sounds interesting. [00:08] I'm getting a HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for /dev/sdb: Invalid argument And i'm trying to use edit parameters in Grub to find my disk. It's a Ubuntu intall on a USB external hdd disk. But I don't figure out what do change/do to be able to boot my ubuntu. Could someone please help me? [00:08] azbuku, is there like... a pastebin for image? [00:08] My desktop background won't change & I keep having to retype my password even though I disabled lock in system settings, thank you. [00:10] lawltoad: I guess you could use an img to ASCII art converter xD but that wouldn't let me see the colours. :/ [00:10] cogster, So you cannot login? [00:10] cogster: Maybe you need to turn off the power save function. [00:11] Hi. Where / how can I customize the dock? [00:11] azbuka: iwconfig #What does that say? [00:12] usr13: this is on the install image running from a flash drive. i don't have it running at the moment. Perhaps I'll reboot, run it, and write the results when I cum back. [00:12] azbuka email? [00:13] lawltoad: sure. mbro96@yahoo.com [00:13] quit [00:14] azbuka: You may get what you want and you may not. You can't expect a totally functional system when running an image from flash drive. [00:15] how to I get into grub [00:16] I need to get at a working kernel [00:16] how can u make it show grub when u boot up xubuntu?? [00:16] fuzzybunny69y, Try "sudo update-grub"? [00:16] yeah I have a broken desktop and need to fix my system [00:17] i can log in ColonelPanic; usr13 i checked my setting & it says i have suspend turned off [00:17] I dont have a virtual termianl [00:17] I need to get into a recovery kernel at boot [00:19] this system is so damn broke if I can not boot into grub [00:19] debblade, try hitting [00:19] Hi, a few days ago when I would close the lid on my X220, the computer would suspend. Now it just shuts off the monitor but the fan still goes. Using ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Settings -> Power seems fine. What could have changed? [00:19] Am I able to install the *buntu's on an old Power Mac G4? [00:19] i think so [00:19] Gyges that brings up my BIOS [00:19] I hope :D [00:19] debblade, just wait until passes bios [00:20] Has anyone experienced this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/41301 I've had this bug since 11.04 (now on 12.04). Does anyone has any resolution suggestions ? [00:20] Launchpad bug 41301 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "Mouse clicks stop working sporadically" [Medium,Confirmed] [00:21] Gyges got my fingers crossed. Normal *nix are set for 3 sec. The is a joke =/ [00:21] It not really "sporadic" for me. I can't click when I log in. I have to log out then back in to be able to click. [00:21] Sorry, me again. X220 question above. [00:21] debblade, heh [00:21] indeed [00:24] hello [00:24] debblade every time mine boots its always a black screen then finally xubuntu loading screen shows up [00:25] never shows the grub menu lol [00:25] Hello. I'm getting a HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for /dev/sdb: Invalid argument And i'm trying to use edit parameters in Grub to find my disk. It's a Ubuntu intall on a USB external hdd disk. But I don't figure out what do change/do to be able to boot my ubuntu. Could someone please help me? [00:25] the timing is set for zero. May a 1000 camels shit on Mark Shuttleworths door!!! [00:25] debblade: that made a lot of sense [00:25] Is thre anything that I can do? [00:25] cant u change that in the grub.cfg [00:26] arimail, you get this error once your are in the bootloader during the bootprocess and play in the commandline of the bootloader? [00:26] jrib the mysql exploit that let users get access with 250 trys or whatever, comparison bug, very serious [00:26] debblade just read that they set the grub2 timing for zero sec [00:26] I cannot for the life of me get nouveau successfully blacklisted [00:26] debblade: Ubuntu's been doing that for ages [00:26] @nibbler Yes, correct [00:26] debblade: it's not the only thing they hide [00:26] which is causing me great grief when trying to install latest NVIDIA driver manually (wine acting up with repo provided one, this fixed it for me at work as well) [00:26] I've got `blacklist nouveau` in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [00:27] but it just loads it anyway [00:27] I see others with the same problem online, but no solution [00:27] jadams: blacklist.conf ? [00:27] reisio: yeah, I've got an entry in there [00:27] jadams: it's not just modprobe.d/blacklist? [00:28] I use debian and was just getting rid of that crap called Unity for XFCE. Had just got rid of lame DE and was going to boot into term and install xfce only to not have grub. My boss is going to kill me. [00:28] reisio: no, it's .conf [00:28] doesn't matter, all the files in .d dirs are loaded anyway [00:29] debblade: k === wolf is now known as Guest85727 [00:31] is webdav by design slower? I'm getting 3.7 MB/s transfer speed in nautilus with webdav on a gigabit network. [00:31] Anyone know where to get codec-v? Video streams says I need it. [00:32] @nibler_ Yes, that's what happens. [00:32] reisio so mad I cant type. I use Debian wheezy with xfce. Boss uses Ubuntu ver (gay animal name). Was going to get rid of Unity and install xfce for him. Once I remove all the Unity crap I was going to boot into shell and do the rest... [00:34] debblade, i'm trying to follow you - what happens if you just boot normal, what is the final state? [00:35] debblade: just give him Debian if Debian is what you use and you're the system maintainer [00:36] * cypher-neo agrees with reisio... it's much easier to maintain a system you are familiar with than try to maintain two separate systems. [00:36] debblade: But I am curious what happened when you uninstalled Unity? What did it break? [00:36] Is it possible to rsync over webdav? I'm trying to rsync to a dav://192.168.1.20/blah/blah URL right now and terminal is just sitting here doing nothing. ???? [00:37] Roasted: Hrm I dunno does normal cp work over webdav? [00:37] Roasted, try top, vmstat 1 - its analysing both sides, one via network, as it treats it as local ;-) [00:38] Bsims, come to think of it I think its due to the lack of my username being in the command. I wonder if going throguh .gvfs would be acceptable. [00:38] nibbler_, hey thar. ;) [00:38] Roasted, hey thar, too ;-) [00:39] eh, its erroring out [00:39] Roasted: Hrm try it and let me know... my addiction to team fortress 2 has me in windows at the moment [00:40] Roasted: do you run kde or gnome/unity? [00:40] er wait [00:40] cypher-neo Ill paste the cmd I used. http://pastebin.com/iH7Ervpa then apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [00:40] I had an extra dash in there [00:40] might want to try a gui front end [00:40] * Bsims nods that will get you every time [00:40] --az, when it should be -az. It looks like its functioning, but its failing for certain operations [00:40] Bsims, looks like its somewhat working though? [00:40] cyphase just that I would do && apt-get install xubuntu-desktop since there is no grub [00:40] Bsims, it's certainly not operating any faster. Some speeds here are looking to be half of what I was getting in nautilus. [00:41] debblade, i think you mean cypher-neo :) [00:41] but I have boot on an other disk and fixed that problem. Now I am installing the way I want [00:41] lol yeah sry cyphase [00:41] assuming its accurate and all - Pictures/Assateague Camping/Assateague Camping July '07/CIMG0360.JPG 2069535 100% 1.50MB/s [00:41] np, i get lots of cyph- pings :P [00:42] debblade: lol @ the title of your paste. I love it! [00:42] debblade: How to make Ubuntu suck less [00:42] Hrm overhead via webdav filesystem translations? [00:42] =) cyphase-neo its all true [00:42] =) cypher-neo its all true [00:43] heee dudes! someone who can tell me about ICR chat about hardware I have a little problem whit my video card and windows [00:43] hi i would like to know if its normal to have networked process in /tmp (or @/tmp)? [00:43] * Bsims knows anything ran through kde's automagic takes a lil longer [00:43] debblade: I can agree with the majority of that. I'm currently switching my computer to Xubuntu as well. [00:44] peace [00:44] debblade more or less stripped it to a bare bone GNU/Linux and then installed xubuntu-desktop. [00:44] drugs [00:44] cypher-neo: try wmaker [00:44] so debblade. Any ideas? [00:44] why ditching ubuntu for xubuntu? [00:44] Bsims: wmaker? [00:44] SuPrbly: isn't it obvious? === Youri is now known as Iruoy [00:45] Sorry, i meant nibbler [00:45] SuPrbly: the only difference is Unity vs Xfce [00:45] yeah think NeXT, aka forrunner of mac osX [00:45] someone? I need a ICR about hardware === mobilegamelabs is now known as MGGGGG [00:45] not a unity fan? lol [00:45] who is the admin? [00:45] its very fast, and very basic [00:45] debblade: If you want to make xfce awesome check out Cardapio. [00:45] cypher-neo I can strongly recommend Debian with repos testing/wheezy [00:45] .!. [00:46] debblade: Cardapio comes with an AWN app, and I like using XFCE with AWN/Cardapio [00:46] SuPrbly: again, obviously? Why would he leave Unity if he were a fan of it [00:46] ¬¬ [00:46] one feature of wmaker is middle click on a icon is different than left click aka left click opens a spreadsheet, middle click opens your checkbook [00:46] who do not love unity! [00:46] cypher-neo Ill take a look. I got compiz pimped to the max with "the cube" and emerald etc. [00:46] on this xfce [00:46] i dont mind it [00:47] anyone? [00:47] he someone who is admin [00:47] ? [00:47] debblade: I had trouble getting into Debian. My biggest problem is that I only have one computer now (my other one blew it's graphics processor), so I'm looking for something I'm used to. I'm used to the Ubuntu command structure and how to install things from .deb files and PPA's. [00:47] dro10: What? [00:47] i do like xfce also its super a lightweight gui [00:48] hi i would like to know if its normal to have networked process in /tmp (or @/tmp)? [00:48] I have a little problem whit mi video card who can help me? [00:48] debblade: I didn't have a lot of time to explore Debian, but it was so foreign I didn't want to mess it up... until i had a backup computer I didn't have files on that i could mess it up on. [00:48] i had it on my little t42 for awhile it just doesnt look as pretty as gnome and unity [00:48] dro10: Yea, I know what you said, just not sure what you mean. [00:48] unless they have changed it [00:48] fuck you [00:48] debblade: Cause we nerds learn the most when things are borked ;p [00:49] luis_: I can try to help. Describe the problem [00:49] dro10: Can you be a little more specific? [00:50] luis_: not a nice way to get people to help you [00:50] anyone know whats happening with tomboy notes when under sync tab the service options are greyed out? I'm trying to specify new path but can't access to make changes... [00:51] nice cardapio looks really awesome cypher-neo [00:52] I'm getting a HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for /dev/sdb: Invalid argument And i'm trying to use edit parameters in Grub to find my disk. It's a Ubuntu intall on a USB external hdd disk. But I don't figure out what do change/do to be able to boot my ubuntu. Could someone please help me? [00:52] been scouting all over net, keep being referred to same ubuntu wiki page for 10.04 [00:52] cypeher-neo thanks good lord! [00:52] How do I find my usb hdd address [00:52] ? [00:52] arimail: sudo fdisk -l [00:52] usr13: ok i mean i runned netstat i found couple thing running with stream or dgram connected most in /tmp stuff like dbus and upstart [00:52] hi quick question for those using unity, how many menus to the left is sound from the device menu [00:53] dro10: Oh, well I think that's normal. [00:54] the think is when I installed Ubuntu, I delete my windows partiton, so when I installed again the Funking windows it's been frozen, and by school I need windows [00:54] @usr13 is normal to see keyring something process too? [00:55] luis_: If you deleted your windows partition, I don't think there is much we can do to help you. Sorry. [00:55] no the problem is, I installed again [00:55] and it's only don't works [00:56] someone said that it's by the video card [00:56] dro10: Not sure about keyring. I personally don't use keyring so, really don't know. [00:56] tomboy, service options, greyed out, can't change, any ideas? [00:56] dro10: Maybe someone else here could weigh in on this.... [00:56] usr13: But I can't seem to run these commands from the grub command line. [00:56] For some reason, when I switched my icons to gnome all my icons go invisible [00:56] And I cant boot ubuntu.. [00:56] usr13: k thanks [00:57] arimail: What commands? [00:57] dro10: Maybe try ##linux ? [00:57] Has anyone had that problem ? [00:57] usr13, no the problem is, I installed again [00:57] and it's only don't works [00:57] someone said that it's by the video card [00:57] usr13: Say f.ex sudo fdisk -l [00:57] can anyone tell me the couple of menu names before devieces on top panel [00:57] devices [00:57] usr13: will do [00:58] luis_: Can you login to a console terminal? [00:58] arimail: sudo fdisk -l [00:58] SuPrbly: If you're using it from AWN, right click on the Cardapio app and change it's settings. You can specify it to raise on a keypress. I set mine to activate when I hit the Dash key on my keyboard. [00:58] yes [00:59] usr13, yes I can [00:59] luis_: lspci |grep VGA [00:59] Does anyone know why only ubuntu-mono icon themes are working I cannot get the default gnome icons to work properly [00:59] luis_: (what is your video card?) [01:00] no one with eyes on wants to tell me a simple menu name? [01:00] usr13: Where do I run this command? I can't boot into ubuntu at all. Neither can I boot safety mode. [01:00] lupintheethird: GNOME pushed an update to the icon theme a while ago that broke them... at least it did in gnome-shell. I don't know if they broke everywhere. [01:00] luis_: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:00] luis_: (and look for errors) [01:00] ... clues .... [01:00] cypher-neo, do you know of a way to fix it? [01:01] usr13, 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880M [Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series] [01:01] that is for the first one [01:01] don't care for GNOME's new icons [01:01] I prefer tango [01:01] arimail: I'm sorry, I thought you were asking about your usb drive [01:02] usr13, that is for the second one,, ATI RV560, ATI RV560, ATI Mobility Radeon X1900, ATI RV560, [01:02] ATI Radeon X1950 GT, ATI RV570, ATI RV570, ATI FireGL V7400, [01:02] ATI RV560, ATI Radeon X1650, ATI Radeon X1650, ATI RV560, [01:02] ATI Radeon 9100 PRO IGP 7834, ATI Radeon Mobility 9200 IGP 7835, [01:02] ATI Radeon X1200, ATI Radeon X1200, ATI Radeon X1200, [01:02] ATI Radeon X1200, ATI Radeon X1200, ATI RS740, ATI RS740M, ATI RS740, [01:02] luis_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [01:06] hi everyone. In 12.04 LTS, is there anyway to move the launcher to the bottom instead of the left? [01:07] luis_: Never mind. [01:07] usr13, for /var/log/Xorg.0.log my terminal said that I don't have permit [01:07] szal: It is often times a lot easier to help someone when they can past all they want to you. Please keep your opinions to yourself. [01:08] usr13, what do you think that may problem can be? [01:08] luis_: I would need to look at your Xorg log to tell much about it. [01:09] I just upgraded to 12.04 and it lags like hell . The compviz settings dont work, the side bar icons are 256 pixels or something and i cannot make them smaller [01:09] the launcher takes 5 seconds after i click it to open; wtf who added a 5 second delay to the "dash home" button [01:09] and I cannot move the icons in the launcher either [01:09] usr13: that's not (necessarily) my opinion, that's channel policy.. no need to get rude over that [01:09] and the compviz settings are being completely ignored [01:09] Hi all! [01:09] HaltingState, i use my=unity to tweak the unity-sidebar. [01:09] So does anyone know how I can get my Ubuntu to boot? It's on an external USB hdd, but I get the error HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for dev/sdb/ [01:09] HaltingState: to make them smaller, right-click on the desktop and select "Change Desktop Background" [01:10] Derxst, nope [01:10] At the bottom, there is a slider for Launcher size [01:10] Derxst, no there isnt [01:10] i just had a question about hashish.. [01:10] HaltingState: Try here: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/how-to-move-unity-launcher-to-bottom-of.html [01:10] szal: You don't seem to understand. Sorry I can't explain it to you and not trying to be rude. [01:11] usr13, tell me where is ? [01:11] from the muppet show . hold on.. i must rewind it. [01:11] :-) [01:11] Ok, at the tope of the launcher, click the Ubuntu logo (when you hover it should say Dash home) [01:11] type System Settings and click the icon that appears [01:11] luis_: Can you move to luis (channel #luis ( [01:11] under personal, select "Appearance" [01:12] well you can have it .. its on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&NR=1&v=ip5e9NUvX6A [01:12] Derxst, https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21517274/img/Screenshot%20from%202012-06-20%2018%3A11%3A26.png [01:12] luis_: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:12] !ot | mernilio [01:12] mernilio: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Is it possible? [01:20] !de | r00t__ [01:20] r00t__: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [01:20] ty genii [01:20] mernilio, no, and don't ask for that. [01:21] hi. good manual/howto for yubikey pam auth for ubuntu anyone? [01:21] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UDS/M says: "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UDS/M" [01:21] I need it so ban a couple of people [01:21] Derxst, its Ubuntu, not Ubuntu 2d and the bar still does not exist and compviz settings are being ignored [01:21] hi. good manual/howto for yubikey pam auth for ubuntu anyone? [01:21] usr13, when the system is boot, I see the ubuntu spoiler, i see something like ...... UBUNTU [01:21] sounds like Unity is not present [01:21] Its of utterly importance! ;-) [01:21] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UDS/M says: "create howto for remote access one-time password auth: HOTP/yubikey " [01:22] luis_: And when it's done, what do you see? [01:22] mernilio: you won't be able to get ops in this channel [01:22] mernilio: It's not going to happen. [01:22] mernilio: go ask in #ubuntu-ops since you won't take the "Don't ask here" answer [01:23] the same or some times, the proses killing itself [01:23] but i have cancer and sit in a wheelchair.. lonley! :-( [01:23] mernilio: get ops ability will not solve either of your conditions [01:24] luis_: SO when the system is finished booting, can you do Ctrl-Alt-F6 and go to another console screen and login? [01:24] luis_: Or can you ssh into it from another computer? [01:24] That was a lie.. i admit it :-) [01:24] ok, this is driving me insane... what in the world starts "dhclient3"? [01:24] being a liar is another reason not to get op status [01:24] wizkid057: What are you trying to do?

[01:25] usr13: disable any and all network management so I can do it myself [01:25] usr13, I can do that now, when I use Ctrl-Alt-F6 I go to other console screen [01:25] wizkid057: You can just uninstall the network-manager [01:25] luis_: Then login and look at the log file. cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:25] usr13: did that already, and avahi... yet somehow dhclient3 starts for all of my interfaces still... [01:26] ok [01:26] usr13, let me see [01:26] wizkid057: Then edit the /etc/network/interfaces file [01:26] LOL [01:26] LOL [01:26] LOL [01:26] zewb: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

I have a process that is constantly reading the hard drive. Does anyone know of a program that will let me monitor the I/O of individual processes so I can tell which program is doing this? I've tried 5 system monitors/task managers, and none so far. A couple tell me the disk access but none tell me which processes are accessing the disk, or even the I/O of the process. [01:33] u4ia74: top? [01:33] sacarlson: I uninstalled network-manager and avahi... [01:33] !info iotop [01:33] iotop (source: iotop): simple top-like I/O monitor. In component universe, is optional.

[01:34] usr13, but what suppose that I may see? [01:34] iotop, thank you. I'll give it a try! [01:34] usr13, but what suppose that I may see is? [01:34] I installed the latest firefox, Now I can't login to the forums. Does anybody else have this problem? [01:35] tdhz77, Have you tried clearing your cache and cookies? === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [01:35] colonelpanic I do that through tools settings right [01:35] Whats the command to un tar ball a file?

But there's just that little triangle.. and I can' teven click it. Am I missing somsething, or is this side task bar thing really terrible? [01:36] wizkid057: I still run 10.04 without that problem, I guess I can bring up 12.04 in virtualbox and take a look [01:36] and doing alt-tab is a little too disruptive to the workflow [01:36] tdhz77, Yes. Edit > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies [01:36] luis_: shift-PageUP and look through the file and see what clues you may find as to why the GUI is not loading. Look for erros / clues. [01:37] loome: Do you have a support question? [01:37] compviz settings are being ignored in 12.04; help!! [01:37] colonelpanic, firefox freezes whenever I try and remove individual cookies. [01:37] wizkid057: oh I wonder if it's dnsmask they added that in 12.04 [01:37] colonelpanic is there a force quit option in 12.04? [01:37] tdhz77, Strange. Try logging in while in private browsing. [01:38] ok [01:38] luis_: If you see anything that might be interesting, tell us. [01:39] colonelpanic the firefox preference dialog is stuck. And I can't launch firefox now. [01:39] wizkid057: maybe try kill dnsmasq see if it continues otherwise cd /etc ; grep -r dhclient ; to maybe see what starts it [01:40] tdhz77, Try reinstalling. "sudo apt-get remove firefox && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox" and brb [01:40] HaltingState, you in the 2d or 3d unity desktop [01:40] i am in default one; i think 3d [01:41] bkerensa: yes. Does there exist a method to change the task bar in its functionality? [01:41] bkerensa: I want a slightly more traditional-like taskbar, where I can select a window quickly [01:41] colonelpanic ok, I'll do it as soon as I'm done installing chromium [01:41] HaltingState, the default may be 2d look at the login options from the dropdown gear, compiz has a refresh problem as well, using compiz --replace I believe restarts it from a alt-f2 [01:41] usr13, I don't see a clue/ erros [01:42] wilee-nilee, its not [01:42] i checked [01:42] HaltingState, its not what> [01:42] tdhz77, If all else fails, go to firefox's IRC channel.

[01:49] zema, that makes very little sense to be honest [01:50] Hey guys... i've added a new option to my isolinux config (custom ubuntu install cd) and made it the DEFAULT parameter, however the menu option isn't being highlighted by default... do I need to do something else? [01:50] 've had wireless internet [01:50] usr13, ?=?=?

[01:52] I can not update, it always gives error :/ [01:53] ??? [01:53] zema, do either of these commands identify the wireless card. lspci | grep -i wireless lspci | grep Broadcom [01:54] zema, the devil is in the details, identifying the card and actual errors go a long way.

[01:56] what is the task bar called in ubuntu world? [01:56] the thing that's on the left of the screen now.... [01:56] loome, unity panel? [01:56] (so I can google stuff better) [01:56] loome, wilee-nilee actually it is called Launcher [01:56] basically I want a traidtional task bar instead of this, is that doable? [01:56] The Panel is at the top. [01:56] loome: Launchpad [01:56] ki4ro, No. Launchpad is an entirely different thing. [01:56] !launchpad [01:56] Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [01:56] someone can help me whit a problem whit my video card [01:57] luis__, identify the card [01:57] can i unistall wine1.4? [01:57] luis__: Sorry, I was on the phone. [01:57] luis__, with lspci | grep VGA [01:57] Daekdroom: So what is it actually called...or does it even have a name? [01:58] ki4ro, It is called Launcher. [01:58] Here's the other question: can Launcher be customized? I want it to show seperate icons for different windows of the same app. Presently it seems I have to click on it.. and it gives me this very computationally expensive "top view".. where I can see the different windows and choose one [01:58] Daekdroom: Thanks! [01:58] The thing you access by clicking the Ubuntu icon at the top of it is called Dash. [01:58] And the panel at the top of the screen is a panel. ;) [01:58] usr13, so? [01:58] Daekdroom: At least I got the launch part right smile [01:59] luis__: So, you did not see anything interesting in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file? [01:59] luis__: .... somewhere near the end, like the last 40 or 50 lines? === matthew is now known as Guest82172 [02:00] luis__: you can do less /var/log/Xorg.0.log Shift-g will put you at end of file, PageUp from there. [02:00] I can not install anything because of the ever mistake ... :The following packages have unmet dependencies: [02:00] wine1.4 Depends: wine1.4-i386 (= 1.4-0ubuntu4) but it is not installable [02:00] E: Unmet dependencies.

(Ctrl-Alt-F6 will get you back to tty6) [02:01] zema, From what I have heard you need to use the ppa, never used wine myself though. [02:01] I installed Ubuntu on the new MacBook Pro with retina display. In unity the icons are so small I can't click on anything. How could I increase the icon size? [02:01] yes I know [02:02] wizkid057: after I service network-manager stop ; killall dhclient; I don't see any dhclient3 apear even after ifconfig down ; ifconfig up [02:02] tdhz77, have you looked in display for a better resolution? [02:02] usr13, but I don't see nothing [02:02] loome: i'm wondering the same, looks like to gnome2? [02:02] sacarlson: comes up for all three interfaces I have (eth0, eth1, wlan0) at reboot even with "apt-get remove network-manager" === Corv_ is now known as Corv [02:03] !nounity [02:03] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [02:03] wilee-nilee 1680 x 1050? [02:03] wizkid057: maybe even if network-manager is removed you still have to stop it? [02:03] sacarlson: even with it removed and after a reboot? [02:03] bierbs_: have you made the change? can you comment on the difficulty and complexity of the process of switching to gnome2 from unity? [02:03] how would it be there to stop... [02:03] tdhz77, that does me no good you have to figure the best for yourself [02:03] i don't use wine... i use console for install anything but it's always the same error :// [02:03] wilee-nilee thats much better than 2880 by 1800 resolution. But, I got a retina display :) [02:04] wizkid057: I'm not sure what event it might sence in upstart to bring up dhclient3 [02:04] wizkid057: you might not the the upstart for network-manager is still present even after it's removed [02:04] note [02:04] tdhz77, I have no idea what a retina display is to be honest that is a apple thing, I believe. [02:05] loome: seems ubottu had info [02:05] usr13, it's looks like my desktop [02:06] wizkid057: so just add in your network script network-manager stop ; killall dhclient; [02:06] tdhz77, here is some comment on this though. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/06/what-does-ubuntu-look-like-on-a-retina-display-bad [02:06] loome: i haven't made the switch to or from unity [02:06] loome: Yeah, you don't want gnome2, you want to install "gnome-panel" (see the !nounity factoid with ubottu) [02:06] how can I remove wine? [02:07] bierbs_, if microsoft wanted to destroy linux, they would have shipped unity with a task bar for running applications and no ability to change the icon size for applications in the dock [02:07] wilee-nilee great link, thanks! That picture makes the retina display look good compared to what I see! lol [02:07] wizkid057: try this and tell me if it works http://paste.ubuntu.com/1051928/ [02:07] i am a developer and i can barely use it now; without hours of frustration and customization its useless [02:08] zema, you might want to install synaptic you can search with more detail if you want a gui, and it has a history. [02:08] it now takes 5 seconds to open the dash button; instead of doing what i click one, the system now waits 5 seconds before doing a an action like minimizing a window or opening dash panel [02:08] HaltingState: yes, touche [02:08] wizkid057: modify it with your desired values [02:08] usr13, dude? [02:09] sacarlson: stop: Unknown instance: [02:09] HaltingState, upgrades are problematic for some personally I always fresh install, and usually next to the old OS. [02:09] now compviz is broken; i cant change settings; it just ignores them [02:09] wizkid057: what did I spell wrong? [02:09] sacarlson: nothing, i just dont have network-manager installed so it cant stop it... [02:10] HaltingState, alt-f2 resets the unity desktop, and compiz as well usually. [02:10] HaltingState, sorry alt-f2 unity --reset [02:10] I am sort of in disbelief that such poor decisions were made precisely after there was a big push to have a formal UI team and all. It is clearly decidedly a devolution in terms of usability... I was thinking to have my mom start using 12.04 (seriously), but this is not something she'll be able to handle. There are so many painpoints, things than even I (an experienced desktop user) am irritated and confused by. Why is it that applications are so [02:10] wizkid057: ok so add sudo killall dhclient3 [02:10] I need to edit a html file just the text part. Is there an editor that I can use to edit the text part and hide the html? [02:10] s/than/that/ :) [02:10] loome, this is support [02:11] wilee-nilee: I know, I won't rail on ubuntu anymore. :) [02:11] usr13, are you alive? [02:11] wizkid057: if dhclient3 is killed does it just auto restart? [02:11] loome, it's okay to rail you just want the correct venue. [02:11] loome:Come to #ubuntu-offtopic and talk if you want. [02:12] sacarlson: doesnt seem to, but, i really would rather it just not start at all... [02:12] unless i tell it to [02:13] Sorry, was on the phone again. [02:13] wizkid057: well we need some what to find out what spawned it to do that but if killing it works just add it to @reboot of cron and you will never see it maybe [02:14] luis__: What do you mean? "looks like my desktop"? === Htbrdd is now known as zz_Htbrdd [02:14] luis__: So your desktop is loading up ok? [02:14] luis__: Desktop screen is loading up for you? [02:14] wizkid057: I greped for dhc in /etc/init and don't see anything in there that spawns dhclient* so it must be in some subscript [02:15] luis__: What is your native language? [02:15] sacarlson: yeah, that was one of the fisrt things I tried to do [02:15] usr13, spanish, and it's ok my desktop [02:15] !es | luis__ [02:15] luis__: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. === Pekc is now known as Sir [02:16] wizkid057: I run a script to setup my network anyway to setup custom firewalls so I would just add the killall dhclient3 and service network-manger stop there if needed [02:16] ubottu, it's ok the others channels suck [02:16] luis__: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:17] usr13, so?? [02:17] again i still think ubottu is quite intelligent [02:17] luis__: So your Desktop screen loads up ok? You can see a functional Desktop screen on tty7 ? Yes? No? [02:18] I think ubottu has an insane amount of programming... and i don't think the bot programmer is married because there's no way he has time for a girl with a bot like that. lol [02:18] usr13, yes it's u [02:18] usr13, it's ok [02:18] luis__: Very good. So what are we trying to fix then? [02:18] I think I have a slight Ubuntu derp [02:19] Super_Random: How slight a derp? [02:19] luis__: Have you done updates? [02:19] http://imgur.com/2AjnW [02:19] that slight [02:19] luis__: Do you need to do updates? sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade [02:19] usr13, yes [02:20] usr13, but I need know if I have problems whit may video card [02:20] wizkid057: I might have found a link from network-interface-security in upstart also runs dhclient-script [02:20] Super_Random: 140 TB!? [02:21] luis__: I don't think so. If you did not see anything amiss in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, you are probably ok. [02:21] cypher-neo: that's what I said [02:21] it's only a 250 gig disk [02:21] Super_Random: lololol! Derp is accurate! [02:21] luis__: What video card is it? what is the output of lspci |grep VGA ? [02:21] luis__, Identify the card use this, lspci | grep VGA if needed [02:21] wizkid057: /etc/network-interface-security see inside that, it's new I never seen it before [02:21] !paste | luis__ [02:21] luis__: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [02:22] Super_Random: Uh, wow! I have no idea how to fix that... I've never seen a derp like that before. [02:22] sacarlson: actually was just looking at that [02:22] wizkid057: opps /etc/init/network-interface-security [02:22] cypher-neo: it's not a big problem, I just thought I'd let some people know [02:22] luis__: If lscpi |grep VGA outputs one single line, just paste it here. [02:22] wizkid057: just comment out the line that just dhclient-script and see if it still happens [02:23] Super_Random: You should probably file a bug-report on that... let me see if I can figure out where it should go. === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke [02:23] ok [02:23] luis__: In a terminal type lspci |grep VGA and hit Enter. Show us what it says. [02:24] Super_Random: we can use fdsk to check the disk [02:24] luis__: And please tell us why you think there is a problem with your video card. [02:24] usr13, luis__ sorry it is lspci |grep VGA [02:24] fdsk returns the correct size [02:24] n00b here, need help settingup my ubuntu [02:24] I've already done that [02:25] ah sr fsck [02:25] Super_Random: This sounds like it could be an extension of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/880560 [02:25] can anyone help me set up ubuntu [02:25] Launchpad bug 880560 in nautilus (Ubuntu) "Wrong info showed when properties invoked ina a context menu of a "empty" file tag in a expanded empty directory" [Low,Confirmed] [02:26] Super_Random: fsck is a tool to check disk, just like chkdsk in windows [02:26] Super_Random: It's definitely a nautilus bug though... [02:26] irishman: stick in the usb flash boot disk set your bios to boot usb first and reboot install [02:26] irishman: burn the iso file in usb/cd, then boot and run setup [02:27] thanks guys [02:27] irishman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [02:27] thanks scarlson [02:28] luis__: And then do grep Driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log and compaire to what you see in the output of lspci | grep VGA [02:28] Super_Random: Found it!

[02:28] irishman, i install directly onto usb too, if that helps yo uat all. im irish ish tw [02:28] btw* [02:29] irishman: you can just download the 'portable' version the tor web provides [02:29] Super_Random: Although it looks like it's being shoved back a forth between the nautilus team and the GNOME team, and neither of them is fixing it. Wouldn't hurt to include your bug report on it though. [02:29] ubuntu installer will pick it up at install time [02:29] xangua: link?? [02:30] just regular tor browser bundle? [02:30] Super_Random: i think fsck is just to check disk without any change in your disk, so it might be safe, but in your case i think its a bug [02:30] irishman, look on the tor site on the web. [02:30] wilee-nilee , I have and can't find anything related to ubuntu [02:31] irishman, it probably does not name ubuntu specifically [02:31] usr13, which is the comand?

[02:31] irishman: by the way you can download firefox and get an extension for TOR [02:32] manalord, am I downloading firefox in ubuntu? [02:32] if done that way [02:32] uh, hrm. what did i disable that removed my ability to click on the icon for an open app in the dock and have my workspace switch to the one it's on? [02:32] luis__: I gave you two commands: 1) lspci | grep VGA 2) grep Driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log [02:33] how do I make sure all traffc in ubutnu is routed through TOR, ie pidgin etc???

It ultimately crashes the connection @ 4.3GB transferred with my memory nearly maxed and the Nautilus error - Error in stream protocol: End of stream. Any ideas?

Now if you were to ask about samba vs nfs, that would be a better question. [02:47] nphase: samba would not be an option for halfway around the world, where ftp would be. [02:47] mputtr: samba would not be an option for halfway around the world, where ftp would be.

[02:49] I use use Xubuntu [02:50] usr13: i c... so what can samba do that ftp can't? is it the ability to stream music/video? [02:50] mputtr: ftp is File Transfer Protocol and it works like this. You set up an ftp server and access it via ftp client on the client machine to download files from it. === oscailt is now known as LinusTorvalds [02:50] xangua, i use xubuntu [02:50] mputtr: No, samba is for using your Linux PC as a file server for MS Windows machines on your LAN === SuBmUnDo is now known as Guest84704 === kung is now known as Guest7937 [02:51] usr13: oh... ok.. sorry, i've been reading online as well and the information is getting overloaded on me [02:51] mputtr: Maybe it would be better for you to tell us what it is you wish to accomplish.

They show up like XF86AudioLowerVolume [02:52] usr13: the plan is that I want a server that I can access the files from anywhere, even outside the network.

I've created an app shortcut through the browser's interface [03:03] mputtr: wel for lan easiest is to set up samba or nfs [03:03] InferiorHumanOrg: yeah, i have samba set up [03:03] mputtr: Any access from outside will depend on being able to get through your ISPs security features and accessing the particular PC behind their routers and then having that service's ports forwarded to the outside via your own router and modem.

[03:17] (note not to be confused with unity) [03:17] q_a_z_steve: I don't know, you just have to look where you were compiling packages. Or look in your history === hybrid_ is now known as hybrid [03:18] usr13: well the weird thing is I've been running all these commands past setting up the .bash_profile and yet that's the last thing it remembers. [03:18] Mandalord: Hi. It says i could run some commands to mount the hdd manually. But all of these commands returns "unknown command" [03:18] in bash [03:21] arimail: I think the mount command need sudo or root to be run [03:23] if there any prior knowledge i need to know before trying to learn bash? [03:23] So how do I obtain this in bash? It seems like the commands are different in bash than in terminal. sudo gives "unknown command" too === Youri is now known as Iruoy [03:24] arimail: you can run your bash script with sudo like sudo yourscript.sh then that script will run all it's commands as root [03:25] arimail: or sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ; [03:25] in irssi how do you set yourself to away?

Software center is hanging up but I have nothign else running. [03:26] thatsachop: ya bash in it's simplist is just a list of commands you would have run at the command line, if more complex it has loops and if thens' [03:28] i was referred to bash before i jumpped into C [03:28] Is there a way to change mp3blaster to use a different audio codec? When it's playing an mp3 my youtube will be muted and sometimes crash [03:28] sacarlson: I just get the error "error: unknown command `sudo` " [03:28] i can move around in the terminal but i would say im still a noob at executing commands and know how. [03:28] arimail: it that the whole line just sudo? what is the whole line? sudo needs a parameter [03:28] I don't have this problem with VLC, but I want to loop the mp3 over and over and VLC has a slight delay between repeats [03:28] arimail: also you must be part of the sudo group to use it [03:29] figured i'd hang out here and pick up some extra knowledge :D [03:29] arimail: man sudo [03:29] arimail: One way to work temporarily is to remove "quiet splash" from the command line in the grub menu and press f10 to begin booting. When it fails and prints (initramfs) enter exit and the boot will continue.

[03:38] LinuX2half, unity launcher? [03:38] !notunity | LinuX2half [03:38] LinuX2half: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [03:38] after removing quiet splash I see some more commands being executed before stopping boot. I cant type anything in, it just says "Loading, please wait." [03:38] So maybe not fully booted [03:39] Question - trying to mount a webdav share via terminal with davfs2. I get this error - mounting failed; the server does not support WebDAV. Uhh? [03:40] arimail: did you try mandolord's idea above and did you try it, that might work [03:40] That's what I tried.

It worked until I rebooted. [03:42] Oncve [03:42] Once* [03:43] arimail: ok this is a fresh install from usb flash and at reboot after install it's broken [03:43] hi all, got a Dell Latitude D520 running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with a Broadcom BCM4311 wireless card under the hood... and I can't get it to come up for the life of me, I've modprobed the module and installed the firmware but it still won't come up :/ Network Manager tells me firmware's missing and if I go to additional drivers I'm told the driver's active but not currently in use... where did I go wrong? [03:44] sacarlson: correct [03:44] How do I do an equivalent of the following code in /etc/network/interfaces [03:44] route del -net 0.0.0.0 [03:44] route add default gw 192.168.1.1 dev br0 [03:44] Hello people. I have a question regarding Ubuntu and uninstallation. Can anyone help? [03:45] Yes. [03:45] Hello third. Can you help me? [03:45] i can try if you ask your question [03:45] arimail: you sure this is ubuntu? [03:46] arimail: as I see this problem in archlinux https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1015693 [03:46] Ok, well. I installed Ubuntu, but when I try to boot to my Windows CD to format and use windows, the installer loads. [03:46] Then it tells me it cannot find a hard drive and I have to reboot. [03:47] deathbeforehones, better ask in ##windows [03:47] deathbeforehones, what OerHeks said [03:47] How can I format my hard drive to make it clean again? [03:47] Gparted [03:47] deathbeforehones, looks like ine installer might need drivers to find the hard drive [03:47] running ubuntu 12.04 ext 4... with a very long directory name... "/home/david/restored from jungledisk (bigarooni)/Documents/microsoft/My Documents/My Pictures" ... i cant create a nother directory... any ideas how i can fix this? [03:48] arooni-mobile, move the folder elsewhere or rename some of the folders? [03:48] I have no clue why it cant find it in dos when it used to. [03:48] deathbeforehones, same disk or different? [03:48] Ever since I installed ubuntu, I'm blocked from Windows. [03:48] same disk [03:48] same computer? [03:49] yes. [03:49] weird [03:49] any tuts on running a VPS? [03:49] I know, my head hurts thinking about it. [03:49] still, if it can't find your hard drive, that's a ##windows issue and you're best to ask there [03:49] will do. Thanks guys. [03:50] sacarlson: Yeah, it's Ubuntu 11.10. But I'm not booted, I'm in GRUB. [03:50] thirdwhl, is there a character limit for directories [03:50] Wow! [03:50] juicy: there are many types of VPS I like to play with virtualbox [03:51] Same Hdd as me... [03:51] I'm trying to make ubuntu connect to the internet via br0 instead of eth0, how do I do that? [03:52] sacarlson: But they seem to be able to boot even with that error. I can't even boot into ubuntu! [03:52] arooni-mobile, unsure, but moving it or renaming the base folder to something shorter would eliminate that as a cause [03:52] arimail: maybe you can boot your live cd and see if hdparm -i /dev/sdb gives you any info [03:52] opps hdparm -i /dev/sda [03:53] sacarlson: I mean running VPS servers (like on ubuntu server) [03:53] k thx thirdwhl [03:53] Does anyone know when ubuntu loads /etc/network/interfaces [03:53] ThomasBomb: WHEN it loads? [03:53] Yes [03:53] juicy: yes I run vitualbox on ubuntu 10.04 to run vitual systems of windows, ubuntu 12.04 .... [03:54] how do I mount a drive with read write access? trying to think... mount -o r,w or something? [03:54] I have a script that will fix my problem, but I need to get it to automatically run [03:54] sacarlson: I mean I am running ubuntu server(well debian server) and want to run other debian servers as VMs, I dont have a desktop interface [03:55] im confused and need a question answered. I have 2 pc's on ubuntu one windows and a gigabit router. both pcs have gigabit lans, but i transfer files over samba at 11 MB/S shouldnt it be 100 MB/S [03:55] ? [03:56] juicy: oh I guess vitualbox can run on a none gui as well but as I might note there are many VPS system server software available, [03:56] arooni-mobile, no worries [03:57] sacarlson: yeah, I was asking which one was the best (preferrably with a webUI) [03:57] juicy: as you can see here there is xen, virtualbox, vmware ..... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualMachines [03:57] thanks [03:58] !best | juicy [03:58] juicy: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

I get that error if i type hdparm -i /dev/sdb from live terminal too. [04:10] sacarlson: What on earth causes this? [04:11] arimail: like maybe the disk doen't have a uuid [04:11] sacarlson: And how am I supposed to fix it? [04:11] sacarlson: Can I assign a uuid to it? And how? [04:12] arimail: well if the partition isn't formated or corrupted it will have the same efect [04:12] arimail: oh you didn't provide the partition you can't do it to the drive [04:13] arimail: hdparam -i /dev/sdb1 [04:14] sacarlsson: same error for sdb1 - sdb2 [04:15] arimail: no I'm wrong I get responce from sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda [04:15] can someone help me I cant get my ubuntu box to run at gigabit lan speeds with ethtool even though it should ... [04:15] arimail, did you use "sudo hdparm -i /dev/sdb " [04:15] Hmm. But sda is internal hdd no? [04:15] sacarlson: yes [04:16] OerHeks: yes [04:16] arimail: yes mine is an internal drive but not sure that maters [04:16] arimail: hard disk broken? [04:17] sacarslon: Nope.. Brand new, and I can open it in home view in live [04:18] arimail: I'm not sure I'm out of ideas [04:18] what error do you get, exactly? [04:21] tdhz77: InferiorHumanOrg is it on auto negotiate ?

[04:22] it works when i do speed 100 [04:22] the router is gigab it 100% sure [04:22] so is the nic . what gives [04:23] !enter | InferiorHumanOrg [04:23] InferiorHumanOrg: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:23] sacarlson: Hmm well TY. I'm afraid I'll reinstall and have the same prob again... [04:23] arimail: ya probly, maybe try different version of ubuntu like 10.04 [04:25] celthunder: any ideas why it won't work it shows 1000 base-t as a supported mode. [04:25] sacarlson: do you recommend the new 12.04 ?? [04:28] Hello! Besides nautilus and davfs2, are there any other ways to connect to a webdav server? [04:30] roasted_ wikipedia to the rescue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV#Linux [04:30] Can you send files over bluetooth. And if you can, how fast would transfer be? [04:31] MonkeyDust, did you read that wikipedia article, by chance? [04:31] MonkeyDust, I DID specify without nautilus and davfs2 [04:31] roasted_ just the linux part, it mentions other options [04:32] MonkeyDust, the other options are basically other DE equivalents. I.e. Dolphin for nautilus, etc. Either way, thanks, but the hunt continues... unless I can magically get davfs2 working... [04:33] hello. Why are my windows moving to the side of the screen without me doing anything? [04:34] ahhh [04:36] It's like I'm in some sort of auto-dock mode. [04:37] TY for the help! [04:37] Bye === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [04:37] can someone tell me why I cant use 1000 baset on my NIC ethtool wont let me set speed 1000 and im using cat5e cable ro a gigabit router.. [04:38] InferiorHuman, it wont let you SET the speed? It should be defaulting to gig. [04:39] inferiorHuman: i thought gigabit can only be done by autonegotiation, but i might be wrong [04:40] If I move window A then focus window B, window A moves back to its original position. Why? [04:40] nibbler_, !!!!!!! [04:40] roasted_: its defaulting to 100 I have no idea why [04:40] InferiorHuman, did you try other cables? [04:40] yes i just did [04:40] both cat5e same problem with both. [04:40] nibbler_, you dont use davfs2 by any random weird strange out of this world chance, do you? [04:40] roasted_, morning - hows your webdav doing? [04:40] TERRIBLE [04:40] the NIC + router are definently gigabit [04:40] I'm about to start punching babies if I can't figure this out [04:40] roasted_, use it from time to time, yes [04:41] roasted :\ [04:41] Do not punch babies. [04:41] nibbler_, Nautilus/.gvfs has a bug, where it absorbs the file you're uploading into RAM just prior to sending it to the server. Well, if you send big files, guess what, your RAM maxes out and the connection tanks. [04:41] three18ti, then teach me davfs2 [04:42] nibbler_, so I looked at davfs2 which utilizes the sudo mount -t blah blah command, and I can get it working, but only as read only. So now I'm struggling to find how to use sudo mount -t davfs as read/write for a non root user. [04:42] roasted_, hehe - just make a standard mount, automount at boot time... use nautilus on this mountpoint then [04:42] roasted_: I don't negotiate with terrorists. [04:42] nibbler_, I'm trying to get it tow ork manually first, as I don't want my work laptop to consistently auto mount it. My desktop however, that's fine. [04:42] if i set speed to 1000 with autoneg on it defaults to 10MB/half [04:42] wtf ??! [04:42] nibbler_, I figured I'd just create a bash script with the entire mount -t blah blah command in it so I can run, say, sudo ./webdav and connect manually [04:43] InferiorHumanOrg, what about its peer? [04:43] nibbler_, but it's all useless if everything is read only === hybrid is now known as bolitutti [04:44] nibbler_: by peer u mean the router? [04:44] InferiorHumanOrg, does it support gigabit, and is it configured? [04:44] are there known issues with the Haier Ibiza Rhapsody on Ubuntu 12.04? I can't get anything to list the files already on the device [04:45] nibbler_: it says its gigabit [04:45] nibbler_: im trying to find an option to see what its configged for [04:47] roasted_, http://nopaste.dk/p5552 - strangely the call does not return, but in another shell i can read and write - and things shwo up on oc [04:48] nibbler_: it says stuffs connected to it at 100MB idk how to change it guess ill have to call verizon [04:48] nibbler_, I just won the prize [04:49] sudo mount.davfs -o file_mode=775,dir_mode=775,uid=user 'http://localhost/webdav2' /home/user/mounts/webdav [04:49] couresty of this link - http://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?107209 [04:49] InferiorHumanOrg, you have proper cabeling? [04:49] nibbler_: cat5e right? [04:50] nibbler_, what's funny is, when I right click, theres still options grayed out. create new folder is gryaed out. but if I click it... I create a new folder anyway.... [04:50] InferiorHumanOrg, cat5e is fine for 10gig ethernet... so i guess it should do for gigabit [04:51] nibbler_: i guess im gonna have to call them then. [04:52] roasted_, you use a different way than me, i c [04:52] nibbler_, how different? [04:53] roasted_, i mounted as a user witht he fusefs tool - there you don't need this user stuff. your way is nicer - if you are/have root [04:53] ive tried two cat5e cables already [04:53] InferiorHumanOrg, did you try another gigabit device connected to the router? [04:53] InferiorHumanOrg, or the same device connected to another gigabit peer? [04:54] nibbler_, how is my wya nicer if I require root??? [04:54] ] [04:54] roasted_, as you can put it in /etc/fstab and won'thave to worry about stuff anymore [04:55] hello, im trying to setup my printer and scanner, but in Printing dong find my printer ;( [04:55] are all other only not my.... [04:56] nibbler_, I see. It struck me as being a little messy with having to have the file set, dir set, and user listed, but I suppose it works. [04:56] wosio_, what brand & type printer? [04:56] OerHeks, Brother DCP-385C [04:56] nibbler_, it'll be easy enough to put this in a bash script and call on the bash script when needed [04:56] roasted_ the babies are saved then [04:56] MonkeyDust, indeed [04:57] roasted_, good ;-) [04:57] until next time, that is ;) === wosio_ is now known as wosio [04:58] nibbler_, I'm creating a 5GB bogus file now to send tot he server just as a test to see if it ramps up my memory instantly and maxes it out like nautilus did [04:59] wosio_, oh brother .. if their site does not show the printer, i am afraid it won't print ( see openprinting.org ) [04:59] roasted_, its another implementation so i hope it'd work [05:00] OerHeks, oo on site? aa ok ok :) [05:00] so why all Brother Drivers are not impleted to ubuntu? [05:00] wosio, i checked the brother site, only windows & apple. [05:00] in ubu are only DCP-7xx++ [05:00] wosio, ask brother? [05:01] wosio, i guess brother is not working with developers to closely and don't publish their specs..... [05:01] how can I create a tar.bz2 from cli when I am getting errors about "I won't write compressed data to a terminal." I would think all I need to do is tar -cvj $LFS/tools /home/j/Desktop/tools.tar.bz2 [05:01] ahh...... [05:01] q_a_z_steve, you need -f, too [05:01] hey [05:02] nibbler_: to create? Anyway that is even uglier errors. [05:02] q_a_z_steve: your arguments are in the wrong order [05:02] q_a_z_steve, and swap the 2 paramenters in the end ;-) [05:02] anybody here know why youtube/vimeo/other video streaming sites might suddenly be creating crackling sound and playing way too fast, with some stuttering? [05:02] It happens on multiple browsers but I can play music/videos off my desktop just fine [05:03] q_a_z_steve, -f takes one argument, and that is the target archive - so this has to follow the f [05:03] ok, I think that's working [05:03] Also, flash seems to work fine on at least one website that isn't a video streaming site [05:03] MageofHope: quite often due to inadequate buffering in the audio driver [05:03] :v how would I modify that/check what amount of buffering i have? [05:03] Having some problems compiling wifi drivers for injection. Doing a cat /proc/version I see the gcc that compiled my kernel is 4.6.3. While the gcc on my system is a bit older. Hence problems compile kernel modules. [05:04] Was wondering if Ubuntu uses a bpo like Debian does. [05:04] a bpo ? [05:05] yay! im find drivers for DCP! i wroted in google "Brother Linux Drivers" xD [05:06] holyfather, compiling wifi drivers for injection ? sonds like hacking to me.

[05:08] isn ot new.. has 4-5 years :F [05:09] im bought for ~100$ xD [05:09] Not sure it my problem is the gcc/kernel miss match or the depmod -ae tossing out waring e- should be used with -E or -F with [05:09] any coders here? [05:09] okay guys now scanning :D [05:10] I'm trying to put a photo on my desktop but it will only go on in icon size and they can't be enlarged without loosing major definition. How can I do it === HeliusCron is now known as wrenny [05:10] holyfather, better ask in #backtrack-linux [05:10] I was a dev for them [05:10] back in 2009 [05:11] aa guys ive question, Brother relesed only 32bit drivers, ive 64, im installed special lib32(somethink like that)and scaning driver must be too installed 32bit? or i can now normally 64? [05:12] wosio: ? you can install it in a multiarch setup or in a 32 bit chroot [05:13] celthunder, what? im new! i dont understand what u wr to me... ;F [05:13] i can install both?? 32 and 64? [05:13] 'm trying to put a photo on my desktop but it will only go on in icon size and they can't be enlarged without loosing major definition. How can I do it [05:14] sigh I am trying to get aircrack-ng up to speed to it will be put in the repos again. Ubuntu is turning OS X gay. [05:14] can any1 give me a uk proxy addy plz? === mRy is now known as Guest39083 [05:14] holyfather: aircrack works fine for me..admitedly im in arch not ubuntu [05:14] You had to compile it [05:15] and airodump-ng does not scan right. [05:15] holyfather: is your card in permiscuous mode [05:16] rtl8187 alfa and yes I do more then hang out in mon0 [05:16] 'm trying to put a photo on my desktop but it will only go on in icon size and they can't be enlarged without loosing major definition. How can I do it [05:16] jbander1: get a bigger picture with higher resolution? [05:17] holyfather: ok so whats it doing? [05:17] jbander1 details depend on the resolution, the higher, the better quality [05:17] I've ran it through gimp and enlarged it but when I send it tp the desktop it's icon size [05:18] jbander1 yes, you have to increase the canvas size, but the quality will reduce [05:18] celthunder airdriver-ng will not compile code right because the gcc version the compile the kernel is not the same as the gcc version on the computer by default [05:18] decrease* [05:19] I have done that with no results , just icon size [05:19] holyfather: so grab the proper gcc? [05:19] celthunder yes but since I picked up the aircrack-ng suit to have it put back in the repos this is not just for my computer. [05:19] holyfather: holyfather make a chroot with your build environtment [05:20] holyfather: ah..gl then [05:20] I've done scale size print size and canvas size but when I move them to my desktop they are all icon size [05:22] anybody??????? [05:24] jbander1: mediainfo it [05:24] and pastebin the info [05:25] whats that?? [05:25] jbander1 thats vagtastic. Think of it. If you have 1 teaspoon of mile and then add 20 liters of water to it ... why does it loose its color? [05:25] milk [05:26] same principle, you cant get something from nothing [05:27] holyfather: thats why i told him to mediainfo it [05:27] lol [05:27] I'm not complaining about the quality of the photo , I can scan to 1200 dpi , no mater how big I make it in gimp or any other program when I send it to the desktop it becomes a Icon, and you cant increase the size of icon on your desktop without loosing all it's definition [05:27] so we could see exactly how small it is [05:29] what is media info [05:29] @.@ ---> retard class this way -----> [05:30] holyfather, that is not helpfull [05:31] You must be joking, this is just a question not a national direction [05:31] anyone in here use kdenlive? for some reason its not compiling anything...just sitting there [05:31] is there an option for transliteration of indic scripts in linux?

[05:42] wosio if you have to learn one or the other I would learn QT [05:43] Is it possible to tell an application that a lib (such as zlib) doesn't exist at compile time? [05:43] hmm [05:43] yeah and it will tell you I dont feel like compiling [05:44] That's what I was afraid of. I can't seem to figure out how to end up with an elinks binary that doesn't support gzip-compressed websites. [05:44] I don't suppose anyone here has ever tried? [05:44] damnit! [05:44] there should be something like zlib called zlib1 or something. [05:44] I start the render...and it shows "waiting" for a few minutes [05:45] antonio_ what kind of cpu you have?

[05:59] Mandalord, thanks [06:00] rectec: i believe that should be the gnome-session-bin package [06:00] hi mi3, things go perfectly smooth today, how about you [06:00] Mandalord, just hanging out in the mint channel. :D [06:00] I should mention I'm trying to get this on my Arch system. Should be in the AUR [06:01] now you tell us ;) [06:01] mi3: you are using mint? i heard somebody said mint is ubuntu for the lazy:P [06:01] Mandalord, I. USE.UBUNTU. [06:03] Does anyone know which file I need to edit to remove rounded corner on scroll bar/button? [06:03] Can someone tell me what the advantage is of having "Defaults env_reset" in the sudoers file. Why would anyone know what their current environment to be accessible via sudo?

[06:11] anyone.....i just used sudo make install to install the code....can anyone tell me how exactly i must run it?? i am unable find how to run it.... [06:11] wardrop: you do or dont want your environment available to sudo? i dont.... [06:11] celthunder: I do want it available. I always found it a surprise that my environment changed when running something under sudo. [06:11] It goes against the principle of least surprise. [06:11] aeiou_: what did you install? make should tell you where it installed. [06:12] wardrop: thats stupidity. you run sudo to have a different environmental conditions... === slowz_ is now known as sl0wz === mputtr|away is now known as mputtr [06:12] wardrop: so expect it to be seperate...its supposed to be [06:12] celthunder: I run sudo so I temporarily have admin privilidges, so to change my environment. [06:13] how do i find out the address of my ftp server that i just set up via pureftpd [06:13] not to change my environment* [06:13] celthunder: i installed a kde package called okular. i built it in a build folder and then installed it there....so how exactly do i run it? [06:13] wardrop: exactly...you want the environment of root not your user [06:13] aeiou_: well where did you --prefix it to [06:13] Hi. I have an issue with Ubuntu desktop sharing. When I use TightVNC or TigerVNC to connect to Ubuntu, the screen does not refresh. I can move the mouse, and even control the box, but I cannot actually get the viewer to refresh and get a new screen. [06:13] celthunder: I've always looked at it as though I am temporarily raising the privilidges of my account rather than emulating root. [06:14] wardrop: welll by your logic you will eventually end up with a bunch of stuff owned by root in your users dir [06:14] celthunder : /path/to/your/kde4/install/dir .. [06:14] celthunder: How do I make that conclusion? How would setting or disabling env_reset affect file ownership? [06:14] How do you* [06:15] wardrop: $HOME is an environtmental variable to start with /home/user isnt /root (or /usr/home/user if bsd) [06:15] so if you run anything that uses that you end up with exactly what i just mentioned [06:16] Anything better than squid and Sarg [06:16] there are other variables as well you probably dont want to intermingle with your user / root environtments [06:16] thats the most obvious one though [06:18] aeiou_: try locate ocular or whatever and see if you can find it id check /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin [06:18] which ocular may also work if you have it in your path [06:19] how do i find out the address of my ftp server that i just set up via pureftpd? [06:19] mputtr: netstat -nl [06:20] mputtr: it usually binds to all addresses by default but if you arent sure or you set a specific one you can see in the config or via netstat [06:20] ahoi [06:20] ohhh wow [06:20] cool. i'm hunting for the ftp name [06:20] fidel: hi [06:20] argh! [06:20] this is so damn frustrating [06:20] mputtr: name the ftp-server is using itself in its welcome message? [06:20] antonio_: ? [06:21] fidel: uh.. not sure what you mean [06:21] celthunder: for some reason kdenlive is taking FOREVER to render videos [06:21] mputtr: you just mentioned that you are hunting for the ftp servers name [06:22] hey [06:22] qubes os [06:22] well, looking for the actual address so i can try to connect to it [06:22] anyone got a suggestion to my itsy bitsy problem? [06:22] antonio_: ok? get a faster processor/more ram/ssd [06:22] hi [06:22] i was asking if you are talking about the name the ftp server is using in its welcome message - or the name the actual os/server has ;) [06:22] i've never set up a ftp server and i've poured over google for the past 4 hours [06:22] celthunder: thats not it...it was working fine like two weeks ago [06:22] fidel: thought he asked what address it was listening on.... [06:22] hery: hi [06:22] nafcool: hi [06:22] celthunder: i was thinking that too at the start - then he mentioned'name' ;) [06:22] fidel: i meant the actual ftp address. i just installed pureftpd but i can't tell what the server is [06:23] mputtr: ifconfig [06:23] what should be the size of swap as compared to ram ? [06:23] mputtr: ifconfig will show your your local ip [06:23] look for your main connection [06:23] in case you are working with internal ips & external - that is a different story [06:23] the inet address? [06:23] celthunder: do you know how to burn qube os into usb flashdisk with ubuntu? [06:23] mputtr: or ip addr if you dont have ifconfig [06:23] hery: if its an iso dd if [06:24] so to access the ftp server, i just put in ftp.? [06:24] er dd if=your iso of=your flash [06:24] celthunder, yes i try with dd but doesnt work [06:24] mputtr: ftp ip:port [06:25] ftp.:port? [06:25] no period [06:25] ... [06:25] ftp ip:port [06:25] .... [06:26] ok.. testing it out.. [06:26] hery: what the hells qube os anyway...try unetbootin or extract the iso directly to the disk is it even bootable? [06:27] how can i edit systemmenu in fbpanel ?? [06:27] raziel [06:27] raziel: you spelt your name 10 points lol ... whats up [06:28] celthunder, sorry i mean qubes os, qubes-os.org [06:29] so its xen [06:29] thats nice.... [06:29] celthunder, yes, correct [06:29] hery: you can write the iso using unetbootin or whatever and boot to it from that [06:29] should work [06:29] hery how is that question ubuntu related? [06:29] celthunder : i am unable to delete a particular folder called path because it says owner is 'root'. how do iget permissions to delete it? it has an application i want to delete. [06:29] how can i edit systemmenu in fbpanel ?? [06:29] anyway xen straight up should work from anything [06:30] aeiou_: sudo rm -rf path [06:30] aeiou_: or sudo chown user:user -R path [06:30] MonkeyDust, :) [06:30] aeiou_: or sudo chmod 777 -R path [06:30] aeiou_: any of the above should allow you to remove it [06:31] aeiou_ careful with rm -rf -- it asks no confirmation [06:32] MonkeyDust : it is in my file system and do i have to be in the folder coltaining path before i use this statment? [06:32] aeiou_: no you do not...you may use relative or direct paths [06:33] actually being in the folder you intend to delete will error out rming . while you are in it though it may or may not rm . when you leave for you [06:33] aeiou_ frankly, my advice is to not use rm -rf if you don't know what you're doing and I think you don't [06:33] celthunder :what exactly is path to the file system? [06:33] MonkeyDust: the path to your actual fs? /dev/sda most likely [06:33] er [06:34] aeiou_: the path to fs is either /dev/sda most likely points to physical fs...the path to your fs mounts are in fstab/mtab accordingly... [06:34] i can access the box itself, but i can't navigate to where my hdd is at (i have a separate hdd for media files) [06:34] MonkeyDust: i have a feeling hes about to rm /dev or his / [06:35] mputtr: set your rootdir for the ftpd to where you want ... also check permissions [06:36] I set my home directory to the hdd i want it to be at and also set a fake root to be at the same place.. is it because the username i just added is a virtual user? [06:36] aeiou_: if youre using lvm you may have /dev/mapper/ stuff as well that may point to your fs...not sure what you mean by where is the fs [06:37] hmm hope he googles before he rms stuff.... [06:37] mi3, thanks for the cookie! === HeliusCron is now known as wrenny [06:38] anayway. mputtr sorry mate..i just use ssh so no help other than the general stuff. ftp to me seems redundant anyway [06:38] kanliot: sorry for eating your cookie! [06:38] celthunder: i just wanted to map a network drive, that's why. [06:39] that and the IP cam that I have only knows how to deal with FTP [06:39] np kandinski === hery is now known as heryes [06:41] hmm [06:41] MonkeyDust: btw theres nothing wrong with rm as long as you read the dir before you hit enter. [06:42] Hello :) [06:42] mputtr: hmm wellif its monuted somewhere the ftpd allows you to go..no ideas [06:42] Arash: hi [06:42] mputtr: mounted* [06:43] celthunder: i'm trying to figure that out. i tried adding a link to the hdd on the desktop but the network doesn't see it [06:43] mputtr: allow unjailed ftp access [06:44] that should fix it... [06:44] !ftpd [06:44] FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP [06:44] ok. gonna find out where it is in pureftpd [06:44] by default most ftpds lock you in your home dir if you turn that off you should be able to go to your other drive [06:44] mputtr: main config file near the bottom if it hasnt changed in ... 5 years? [06:45] celthunder: there's no config file near the bottom of the gui.. just "manage user" and no option for "unjailing" [06:45] mputtr: ftpds come with guis now??? [06:45] apparently they do lol [06:45] pureftpd atleast [06:45] what next a gui for how to breathe air [06:45] it goes by pureadmin [06:46] hey now... guis help alot :P [06:46] mputtr: cat /etc/proftpd.conf or whatever [06:46] if your gui didnt remove it it should be a commented out line [06:46] got it [06:46] i'm gonna look for it right now [06:47] what is smb ? [06:47] cd ~/pure-ftpd [06:47] oops [06:47] Arash, smb = samba [06:47] what does smb do ? [06:47] !samba [06:47] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[06:57] hi there [06:57] can I ask what in gods name people have done to resolv.conf in recent history? [06:58] I'd google this problem, but my DNS is broken, and no matter how many virgin bodies are piled in my basement I can't modify my resolv.conf, and even editing network/interfaces just somehow sucks the old dns server out of god knows where and replaces it === HeliusCron is now known as wrenny [06:58] calston for a start, mind your language [06:59] calston: so do you need a public dns server address? if so there is opendns for example [06:59] MonkeyDust: thanks, I'm not a kid and this isn't #relgion or #parenting, do you know how resolvconf works? [06:59] calston after you modified resolv.conf and/or /etc/network/interfaces , you have to restart the network [06:59] I did that [06:59] jppiiroinen: I have one, but wherever I put it gets mysteriously replaced [07:00] networkmanager? [07:00] calston disable network manager (nm-applet) [07:00] hmmm, I hope that's not running on server edition [07:00] calston: did you read the comments in the resolv.conf [07:00] what is the best way to install kdenlive? [07:01] calston: as if i recall properly it says that the file will be replaced by the daemon [07:01] antonio_ do you prefer CLI or GUI ? [07:02] monkeydust: whatever one will work the best [07:02] antonio_ then try sudo apt-get install kdenlive -- or the software center -- or synaptic [07:02] jppiiroinen: yeah sure, so I set dns-nameservers in interfaces [07:03] jppiiroinen: and so it generates a resolv conf of "nameserver \nnameserver" [07:03] calston: so you get the old broken one from dhcp server? [07:03] jppiiroinen: I've grep -R my entire /etc/ for where is, and it is nowhere [07:03] jppiiroinen: no, this is a dhcp server [07:03] :) [07:05] calston: i hope that somebody else can help you further on this [07:05] well this is odd.... [07:06] for some reason... if i access ftp via web browser, i can see the link, but if i add it as a network share, it refuses to detect the link to the media drive... [07:08] does anyone here use MusE [07:09] god I freaking hate ubuntu sometimes! [07:11] !@#%±!@#R [07:12] resolv.conf is a sym to /run/resolv.conf, which hangs on to stale dhcp options [07:12] who wrote this [07:12] has anyone got jackd working on ubuntu 12.04 [07:12] * calston polishes his sacraficial sword [07:14] why can't kdenlive just work damnit! [07:15] antonio_ are you in KDE ? [07:15] I think gnome [07:15] I cna't even think straight right now [07:17] monkeydust: what can I do? [07:17] antonio_ I forget the name, moment [07:17] ok [07:18] anyone got issues with sound after an update lately? [07:18] antonio_ if it's gnome, try openshot [07:18] lotuspsychje: are you using pulseaudio? [07:18] tking0036:well its not really for me, can you tell me what you know? [07:19] i havent had any problems with the default alsa/pulseaudio... [07:19] monkeydust: I don't want to use a different program [07:19] im using the newest version... i cant get jackd to work however [07:19] Its just super frustrating when things stop working for no damn apparent reason [07:20] antonio_: have you heard the joke about if operating systems were airlines? [07:20] antonio_: http://tinyurl.com/2z4c9x [07:20] calston: mind your language ... you might not be a kid, but some of the connected are ... furthermore you mind find out that some people simply ignore badmouthed people and you might not be answered to as a result (I for one apply this most of the time, why bother listening to someone too upset to be coherent ?). There is nothing "mysterious" about your problem, there is such a thing as release notes with [07:20] each versions of software: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop where you will find a link to the explanations you seek: http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ [07:22] haha [07:22] Hello everyone, i am using ubuntu 11.04, i want to install gnome-shell , i have added the proper ppa, but when i try to install it gives some dependency error :- eg gnome-shell : Depends: gir1.2-json-1.0 but it is not going to be installed [07:22] Depends: gir1.2-mutter-3.0 but it is not going to be installed [07:22] Depends: gnome-bluetooth (>= 3.0.0) but 2.91.2.is.2.32.0-0ubuntu3 [07:22] ankur: did you sudo apt-get update? [07:22] yes [07:22] what about sudo apt-get upgrade [07:23] i also did that [07:23] can you just upgrade to 12.04 === JPeterso2 is now known as JPeterson [07:23] I just upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 and languagr went from spanish to english. check supported languages and is spanish first. [07:24] i am using 11.04 in the office so can't upgrade [07:24] cheche: personaly i would rush forward to 12.04 and then mess around with language again [07:24] as 10.04 is still ...well - somehow old'ish [07:25] which is no issue itself - but fixing language now and then maybe being forced to re-fix it again after the next upgrade seems not perfect [07:25] will you get in trouble if you upgrade to 12.04 at the office or something [07:25] ankur: shame, gnome shell is awkward in 11.04. It's just an "apt-get install gnome-shell" from standard packages in 11.10 onwards .. [07:26] fidel: on 8.04 things are.. snappy [07:26] I wouldn't suggest upgrading just yet [07:27] fidel: when you move to 10.04 start up is very fast... but same machine star to be laggy [07:27] fidel: that increased with 12.04 [07:27] fidel: i feel that maybe is a problem in the upgrade process. it was shutdown that machine in the middle [07:28] cheche: running 8.04 is no long time option ...i guess you know that [07:28] same goes for 10.04 basically [07:28] If Ubuntu is too slow, use X/Lubuntu [07:29] i am guessing here - but could it be 12.04 felt slow for you cause of maybe wrong display drivers or a non-perfect Desktop-environment choice? [07:29] running outdated software is never a good choice.. [07:30] cheche: apart fro mthat - having a non-planned shutdown while upgrading sounds like a possible cause for issues [07:30] zombifier: done that as well, but X/lubuntu change the look and feel and the user seem lost [07:30] cheche: Xubuntu would be very minimal transition from a casual gnome user [07:30] fidel: i know, but I want to know what triggers to use english locale instead of spanish [07:30] or gnome classic [07:30] tking0036, bulletmark , thanks... next time i will do it :) [07:31] cheche: happy digging then ;) [07:31] Hey, I messed up my groups yesterday when I was trying to get tor to work (I was being stupid) and did "usermod -G user debian_tor" instead of "usermod -aG user debian_tor". Now, if I try to install something through ubuntu software center or mount a disk by clicking on in in the file browser, it asks for the root password, not mine. Wat do? [07:31] avelldiroll: the desktop release notes? [07:31] cheche: ubuntu default install targets recent hardware, so if you keep the same hardware and the default configuration, things will get slower with each version. So if your hardware is getting old, switching to lubuntu might be a nice option (last time I checked xubuntu default were as ressource ungry as ubuntu-desktop) [07:31] guten morgen zusamm [07:31] !de | viper [07:31] viper: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[07:32] i personally prefer openbox... but it would be a major transition for a casual gnome user [07:32] fidel: that is why I am here to try to find out [07:32] avelldiroll: that says nothing about the fact that if you switch network config from dhcp to static, that resolv.conf will still keep injecting the old dhcp client nameservers into resolv.conf, that is clearly a bug [07:33] tking0036: lxde eases this process [07:33] hi all, I`m trieng to set up xen under ubuntu server, and there is promlem at mabul I need to make image by typing command dd if=/dev/zero of=xenwin.img bs=1024k seek=4096 count=0 [07:33] *resolvconf will even [07:33] but id didn`t make image [07:33] walruscode: That's quite a problem.

[07:35] walruscode: yes [07:35] jc__ perhaps [07:36] zombifier, alright, thanks again [07:36] MonkeyDust: but the funny thing is that the printer is detected via the Printing app [07:36] jc__ try lspci [07:36] It's more recommended that you use 'adduser user group' to add a user to an existing group I don't know if it supports multiple groups at a time) [07:37] calston: "that is clearly a bug" ... if you say so ... but you should read the implications of using dnsmasq to manage resolv.conf, just sayin' [07:38] MonkeyDust: thanks, lspci doesn't show an HP printer either === Youri is now known as Iruoy [07:39] zombifier, sorry to bug you again, but i'm told 'admin" is not a group. Also, ubuntu software center still requests the root password, should a restart remedy that? === balou_fr_ is now known as balou_fr [07:39] I'm trying to use tcl to telnet into my router and it isn't working... When I run it it says: [07:39] invalid command name "spawn" [07:39] while executing [07:39] "spawn telnet 192.168.1.1" [07:39] thomasbomb: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:39] Like what I said, in 12.04 'admin' is replaced by 'sudo' [07:40] zombifier, sorry, I didn't catch that [07:40] You need to be in the group sudo if you want to do system works [07:40] Does anyone know how to fix that? [07:41] find spawn [07:41] !find spawn [07:41] Found: spawn-fcgi [07:41] hey i just downloaded the .tar.gz for pianobar, i am trying to extract it with 'tar xvf Promy*.tar.gz' but i get file is not in gzip format. any help plz [07:42] thomasbomb: doesn't your route support ssh or http? [07:42] find: `spawn': No such file or directory [07:42] this is pissing me off! [07:43] thomasbomb what is it supposed to do and has it worked before or elsewhere? [07:43] MonkeyDust do I have to install something more? [07:43] and sacarlson yes [07:45] thomasbomb: what is tcl? [07:46] hi [07:46] how do i know the cpu temperature (console) [07:46] ? [07:46] MonkeyDust it's supposed to telnet into my router, then log in [07:46] angelete2: lm-sensors [07:46] it's not in common repositories [07:47] or i can't find it in aptitude, what is the real name of the package? [07:47] thomasbomb: if telenet is your only option for reasons unknown then best telnet direct man telnet [07:47] angelete2: it is in the repos as lm-sensors. What Ubuntu are you using? [07:47] I have to make a script automatically use telnet [07:48] zombifier: yes, now i can find it, sorry [07:48] hi all [07:48] thank you very much [07:48] angelete2: i beg to differ: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/lm-sensors [07:48] thomasbomb: so use telnet in a bash script or maybe that's what tcl is I guess [07:49] I'm using expect in tcl [07:49] thomasbomb: best see if telnet works direct before you use it in scripts [07:49] But it won't use the commands [07:49] Telnet by itself works [07:49] "Spawn" in tcl isn't [07:50] is the source code for paste.ubuntu.com available? [07:51] why the hell is compiling kdenlive so damn hard???? [07:51] can someone help with pianobar please [07:51] !ask > rexis [07:51] rexis, please see my private message [07:51] antonio_: why are you compiling instead of installing from the repo?

[07:54] antonio_: i guess reporting the bug is the first step [07:54] Er what different between "sudo apt-get upgrade" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"? [07:54] if it isnt reported already [07:54] antonio_: if you want the latest kdenlive, then its homepage provides a PPA [07:55] yinee dist - distribution [07:55] yinee: normal upgrade will upgrade allp packages safely, without removing any, even if there are conflicts [07:55] antonio_, depends on what the source file is, you want to convert to mpg4 .. it might take more than 1 step to do it. [07:55] !amsn [07:56] http://sites.sayakbanerjee.com/paste/ is nice [07:56] dist-upgrade will upgrade ALL packages possible, even if it has to remove some in order to solve conflicts [07:56] A[D]minS, amsn is not available in Precise [07:56] I have no clue what is wrong with my version of kdenlive [07:56] I'm on 64-bit, and various times lately, I get errors about :i386 packages not being found, in this case libdirectfb-extras:i386. Any way I can convince it that the package that's there is fine. [07:56] OerHeks yea, i was wondering why :) [07:56] antonio_, nothing wrong i guess, you are impatience. [07:56] s/.$/?/ === slowz_ is now known as slowz [07:57] Er if I use "apt-get dist-upgrade" it will remove my old packages, rigjt? [07:57] Sorry, when trying to install a package. [07:57] yinee: What do you mean by "old packages"? [07:57] installed package [07:58] #join lobby [07:58] oerheks: so nothing is wrong? Then how do you explain how kdenlive would render files fine like two weeks ago and then all of a sudden it wont render them? [07:59] antonio_, how would i know ? are those same filetypes? same compression? [08:00] yep [08:00] yinee: No. Most of the time upgrade and dist-upgrade will do the same job. However, when there are dependency conflicts, then upgrade will try to avoid solving the problem by not upgrading some packages, while dist-upgrade will do whatever it takes to solve the dependencies [08:00] I did everything exactly as I did before.. [08:00] and now it just sits and hangs [08:00] so if you're not trying to do anything big, just use upgrade [08:01] yinee: upgrade is only allowed to install new versions of already installed packages, dist-upgrade is allowed to install new dependencies, and remove packages in order to resolve conflicts ... i.e. a dist-upgrade will be allowed to install a new package linked to a meta-package, an updated linux kernel is a classic exemple, upgrade won't install it whereas dist-upgrade will [08:01] avelldiroll update will install an updated kernel too. [08:03] antonio_, try the ppa from KDENLIVE >> http://www.kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive/pre-compiled-packages/ubuntu-packages [08:03] oh I know no wander dist-upgrade download more data than upgrade.thank you [08:03] OerHeks: euh ... update will only download the package list [08:04] thank you ! [08:04] ac [08:04] Package gnutls was not found in the pkg-config search path. error when issue make command for pianobar [08:04] avelldiroll, please don make it a yes/no game, "upgrade won't install it whereas dist-upgrade will" is SO WRONG ! [08:05] :) [08:05] oerheks: this is what happens http://i.imgur.com/UlaKd.png [08:05] OerHeks: if you say so ... but i encourage you to check your facts [08:06] antonio_ looks like gnom12 [08:06] antonio_ looks like gnom2 [08:06] OerHeks: a classic example : http://askubuntu.com/questions/81585/what-is-dist-upgrade-and-why-does-it-upgrade-more-than-upgrade [08:06] what ubuntu version is that? [08:06] heres a random one. for some reason my sound will sometimes not work when I log in. It will usually be fixed when I relog. Any Ideas why this might be happening [08:06] antonio_ ^^ [08:06] ? [08:07] antonio, you're running a KDE app in gnome, that may be an issue [08:07] I keep having problems with it not finding the 32 bit versions of dependencies, (primarily libs), when installing a 32bit deb on my 64 bit ubu install. [08:08] i want to run a command at startup in Ubuntu 11.10 with sudo, how can i do that? just putting it in startup application doesn't solve the sudo thing [08:08] monkeydust: I still don't understand how I've been able to use it successfully up until today? [08:08] blackops: Use gksudo [08:08] thnx [08:12] zombifier still its not working [08:13] blackOps: what is the process you want to launch ? [08:15] blackOps: or you can put it in /etc/rc.local, if it's just a command, you don't want to actually prompt / interact with the user. [08:17] hey guys im trying to just get gnome classic to work right [08:18] what do i need to install to be able to add and remove the powerbar stuff [08:18] grendal: what's powerbar? [08:19] !nounity [08:19] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [08:19] i use to be able to add these apps to the ...bar across the top of the screen [08:19] IanWizard-Cloud: rc.local is really to keep for quick and dirty hacks ... the "best practice" is to put a script based on /etc/init.d/skeleton and place it in /etc/init.d/, and then use update-rc.d to manage it correctly (that is the process is a service) [08:19] what is the best for hostfile that auto updates and applies the host file system wide [08:20] pretender 'best' depends on your skills and what you prefer [08:20] avelldiroll: I know, he seemed to be asking for a quick and dirty solution. I generally don't use it. [08:22] I've just wasted hours trying to fix kdenlive that could have been spent making money.. [08:22] such bs! [08:22] antonio_: tried a different app? [08:22] antonio_ my advice was openshot [08:22] antonio_: the newest version straight from the PPA doesn't work? [08:23] actionparsnip: kdenlive is what I want to use...It was working perfectly fine until today [08:23] zombifier: nope... [08:23] I reverted to whatever version of kdenlive I [08:23] I've been using [08:23] The best one I know is OpenShot. Try it [08:23] antonio_: your choice, wasted hours or just switch app. The choice is pretty clear to me [08:23] the problem is it is taking way to long to render a 40 minute file [08:24] antonio_: set a negative nice value for the process [08:24] antonio_: like -10 should help [08:26] what actionparsnip:? [08:26] is it to early to upgrade 10.04 to 12.04? [08:26] antonio_: use renice, sets more CPU time to the process [08:26] color: yes [08:27] color: technically it will be offered in 12.04.1 [08:27] color: you can upgrade now if you wish [08:27] how can i get java7 correctly on 10.04? [08:28] so by using renice actionparsnip: you're saying that by using renice it will speed things up? [08:28] color: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer [08:28] it was fine until today..not sure whats wrong with it === richard_ is now known as maxlamer [08:28] antonio_: yes, the default nice value is zero, set it to -10 and the scheduler will give more time to the process [08:29] hi [08:30] ActionParsnip: thanks, is there an easy flashplayer-plugin? can i dist-upgrade straight to it? (lol at this question but is anyone building gnome 3 for 10.04?) [08:30] I want to update a machine, using the packages I have already got in an update in another machine. I seem to fail doing it by just copying the whole "/var/cache/apt" directory to the destination machine [08:30] any idea how I can do that ? [08:31] hi there :) i installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS on whole drive and found out, it made an ext4 / partition and one extended (8.00GiB) and 2,49MB are not used at all. Why this 8GB extended and why this not used? What does it do? Is everything normal? :/ [08:31] color: gnome3 isn't suitable for Lucid. There is a ppa but it will break your OS [08:31] !clone [08:31] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate [08:31] color: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc && uname -m [08:32] actionparsnip: how do I use renice... [08:32] antonio_: read the man page, or look online. You will find more than I can tell you [08:32] antonio_: surely that would be the natural first step, rather than asking me... [08:35] ActionParsnip: its 10.04.4 on (lucid i686) is there a way to know if there is an x86_64 proc in the computer while running that kernel? [08:35] ActionParsnip: btw, i dont run ubuntu, just upgrading for a friends. [08:36] windows phone 8 sucks ! [08:37] yugnay: This is a support channel. [08:38] yugnay: Thats for the users to decide, but its not something for discussion in an ubuntu channel [08:38] yugnay: Please only converse about Ubuntu-related SUPPORT questions. Everything else belongs to either #defocus or #ubuntu-offtopic [08:38] yugnay: please power off your windows 8 phone and put a ubuntu cd in the drive. [08:38] I'm sorry, and I'm a new guy in Linux world ! [08:39] yugnay: then turn on your windows 8 phone, and choose boot from cdrom =) [08:39] Thanks for ur advice ! [08:39] Lol [08:39] yugnay: message me in private if you dont care. [08:40] Hi [08:40] ActionParsnip: why did you pick ; over &&? [08:40] I want to , BUT how ? [08:41] yugnay: To start a PM session with someone, "/query USERNAME", e.g. "/query theadmin" [08:41] or you can do /msg username [08:41] Jeez I would love to have user list of irssi on this side -> [08:42] like most other "gui" clients have [08:42] the_josh: you can do it pretty easily [08:42] Wow [08:42] Its possible ? [08:42] the_josh: google irssi perfect setup or something its on like some kungfu ish blog [08:42] I am a X-Chat WDK user : D [08:42] Okai [08:42] Thanks [08:42] the_josh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:42] hello [08:42] I flooded ? [08:42] : ( [08:43] :P [08:43] the_josh: and you respond to a flood bot? [08:43] Please tell me quickly: When I use the Install DVD for the Desktop edition of Ubuntu, and I choose "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" - instead of partioning manually - will it create sensible partitions (swap, home, ...) anyway?! [08:43] does somebody know why the themes from .themes aren not shown in appearance panel ? [08:44] ManDay: It normally does, yes [08:44] Anyone? [08:44] theadmin: Thanks! [08:44] theadmin: What's "normally", though? [08:44] ;) [08:45] well thanks all for the good advice and thanks for that ppa i needed, im out [08:45] c3sso: it won't. You must use some tools like Ubuntu Tweak [08:45] ManDay: Well... Given you have a sane amount of disk space? [08:45] c3sso, make sure you have gnome3 theme for Precise Pangolin. [08:45] nice. is it a bug or is it a feature? [08:45] ManDay: I think it lets you review the partitioning scheme before proceeding, not too sure though (might be confusing Ubiquity and Anaconda here, they're too much alike) === Javax is now known as leckey [08:46] c3sso: gnome 3 on ubuntu is harder then installing opensuse [08:46] c3sso: its kinda both. [08:46] I am on fallback mode (actually a fork of it, classic-panel), and works fine [08:46] Ive been working on installing ubuntu on one of my other computers and its working fine but I went to reboot and the screen is just black when I start up [08:46] has anyone seen this befire [08:47] c3sso: the word FORK is the keyword [08:48] Anyone? [08:49] Thanks theadmin, I'll let you know how it will have went. [08:49] steevB: Do you have any other drives attached? [08:49] No [08:50] steevB: It worked ok during installation? Did it just go black after the 1st reboot [08:50] No, it wasnt the first reboot [08:50] well forking gnome control settings... is a bit rude [08:51] steevB: When exactly does it go black? [08:51] but as I have also pached nautilus to behave like it should... [08:51] ManDay: It goes black before you even get to the login screen [08:51] steevB: Can you be more specific? [08:51] it flashes the ubuntu startup logo for a brief second then goes black [08:51] then nothing [08:52] steevB: Inform yourself how to get into SU mode. [08:52] ok, will do [08:52] is there such a thibg as a ubuntu virus? [08:52] SU = Singlue User [08:52] steevB: what video chip do you use? [08:52] *Single [08:52] durando: Not at the moment [08:52] !virus | durando [08:52] durando: 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 [08:52] I am using an ATI radeon 6550m [08:53] durando: Well, there might be. However, due to the active development of Ubuntu and Linux and general, as well as the epic security measures in place, it's unlikely that something like that will actually run. [08:53] hello [08:53] steeveB: I would try to get into grub, then edit the startup line of ubuntu [08:53] OS: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (Build #7601) CPU: Intel Core i3 550,  3.19 GHz, 0 KB Video: Intel(R) HD Graphics (1360x768x32bpp 60Hz) Sound: Speakers (Realtek High Definiti Memory: Used: 1633/5879MB Uptime: 1d 14h 8m 31s HD Space: Free: 257.27 GB/906.34 GB Connection: Intel(R) 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection @ 100.0 Mbps (Rec: 2877.54MB Sent: 3887.79MB) [08:53] * chachin hides [08:53] steevB: try the boot option: nomodeset [08:53] hi earlier on my sound output device was lost, being blind this was a real problem. I needed a sighted person to help me investigate. We found that we had to select headphones again and I got sound back. I was using epiphany-browser and then lost sound. Does anyone have any ideas why this may have happened or had similar experiences. Ubuntu 12.04 unity-2d. Thanks [08:53] chachin: why do we care? [08:53] add xforcevesa nomodeset [08:53] i logged into my ubuntu bsystem had a small box pop upnand it reboted nownkeyboard doesnt work when i ttry to login [08:53] im bored [08:53] chachin: it spams the channel and nobody cares, please don't bother next time [08:54] ActionParsnip: I do you think the modeset affects X ? [08:54] where to find a robot [08:54] the small box that popped up had a ton of weird xharacters [08:54] o.O [08:54] hi guys, whenever I double-click a text file gnome 3 prompts me to say whether I want it opened ot run.... how do I set the default behaviour to open? [08:54] L-Chymera: I think it's in the Nautilus' settings [08:54] ManDay: the display timings were moved into the kernel, the nomodeset can help for displays that don't like it :) [08:54] L-Chymera nautilus preferences [08:54] to the line where splash is standing. That would start ubuntu the old way with VESA and no kernel mode setting, thus should always work [08:55] more precisely maybe? [08:55] Fudge: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait 10 seconds, reboot then retry sound [08:55] ActionParsnip: What's the magic with "wait 10 seconds"? :D [08:55] ActionParsnip thanks its fixed now. I had console sound though it was only in gnome [08:56] L-Chymera: go to menu Edit > Preferences > Behavior [08:56] ActionParsnip I didnt think to remove ~.pulse* though, thats a good idea if it happens again [08:56] theadmin: it lets pulseaudio restart and regenerate the ~/.pulse folder and ~/.pulse-cookie file [08:56] ActionParsnip: Ah... I didn't think it'd auto-respawn [08:56] theadmin that's pulse default behaviour [08:57] Fudge: I don't have pulse installed so I wouldn't know [08:57] theadmin lucky you /etc/pulse/client.conf refers to autospawn [08:58] I can not recall from a text to speech user if alsa is more responsive than pulse, I believe so [08:58] : stangely when I put a theme to /usr/share/themes, it also does not appear in the list. [08:58] theadmin: yes, pulseaudio is required by the OS so is auto-restarted :) [08:59] ActionParsnip: "required by the OS" is a bit of overstatement. [08:59] ActionParsnip: By GNOME is as far as it gets ;) [08:59] Does anyone know by which API applications report progress so that it's displayed as that small progress bar on the side panel? [08:59] internet explorer is also required by the os, and so can't be removed ;-) [08:59] nibbler_ isnt that windows? [08:59] theadmin: ys, it gets set to be one of the things to aut-restart if it dies [09:00] theadmin: therefore, required [09:00] theadmin even from cli perspective some things unless built from source dpend on pulse such as speech-dispatcher [09:00] Fudge, it is. was just making the reference to another product that makes silly claims about "required by the os" [09:00] oh yep nibbler_ :) [09:00] Why does UBUNTU install QT by default? [09:00] ubuntu-2d is a qt environment isnt it? [09:00] ManDay: I think some of the Ubuntu's apps depend on it... Doesn't the Software Center use Qt? [09:01] or unity-2d how ever you say it [09:01] Fudge, and i'm really tempted to reply to manday! ;-) [09:01] theadmin: I wouldn't know. I thought it was all pure Gnome :-/ [09:01] Fudge: I believe Unity uses GTK... Unity is a Gnome shell so using Qt for that would be incredibly weird [09:02] Then again, "incredibly weird" and "default Ubuntu setup" are almost synonymous nowadays. Oh well. [09:02] ManDay: This may be of interest: http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/technologies/launcher/ [09:02] ManDay: Qt isn't installed by default in the Gnome based ubuntu, you probably installed a Qt based app [09:03] ManDay: k3b is most likely ;) [09:03] ActionParsnip: Certainly not. I have not installed anything. This is as fresh of an Ubuntu installl as possibly possible. [09:03] ActionParsnip: VLC is yet more likely ;) I find many users unaware that it's Qt based. [09:03] ActionParsnip: In fact, I just witnessed on the first boot, how the Update Manager updates QT libs [09:03] Dozens of them! [09:04] theadmin: didn't know that [09:04] I admit I checked "install third party applications" on the setup [09:04] Whatever that means... [09:04] codecs mostly [09:04] hello. Is there a way to prevent a certain app (or apps) from taking away all CPU-power? So that it doesn't slow down the whole system? [09:04] ManDay: apt-cache whatdepends qt [09:04] has anyone had problems with mp3 cd's burnt in ubuntu playing in cars? I have experienced people saying that cd's dont play and only 1 track is displayed. I wondered if it would have anything to do with the checksum file [09:04] Anyone know why I might be getting a black screen after grub screen? it auto selects ubuntu but it never boots up, fresh install 12.04 [09:04] Mrokii: with nice [09:04] naturally the cd players are mp3 capable [09:05] I give the answer to my own question : moving the packages from the apt/archives directory to the partial sub-directory solves the problem. [09:06] theadmin: apt-cache depends vlc | grep qt yields: libqtcore4 libqtgui4 [09:06] Fudge: You answered me about irssi right ? [09:06] Fudge: did you burn as slowly as possible? [09:06] the_josh no but i would be happy to try and help [09:06] Fudge: not all CD players can play MP3 [09:07] ActionParsnip its happened more than once and no [09:07] ActionParsnip i did state that the cd players in question are mp3 capable and play other disks from other sources [09:07] Fudge: try burning slower [09:07] terminhell: But wouldn't "nice" slow down the according app all the time, even if it only takes a "usual" amount of CPU-power? My problem is that Opera often seems to slow down the system tremendously, but randomly. So what I am looking for is a way to set some kind of upper limit of how much of the CPU it can use. [09:07] Fudge: Well, I want to have userlist at Right, like other gui clients have in irssi [09:07] dont burn it as a data disk? [09:07] Someone answered me, but then I got disconnected [09:07] oh the_josh i can look at logs [09:07] so, can anyone tell me again : ) [09:07] Okai [09:07] please [09:08] ActionParsnip: Well, it's not surprising. Infact, with the default VLC about window you can see something along these lines: http://i.imgur.com/v4FgP.png?1 [09:08] it was just few mins ago [09:08] Well, if it was my normal client, I would have looked in logs myself [09:08] theadmin: learn something new every day [09:08] Mrokii: right, nice settings will cap specified proc's [09:08] theadmin: Invalid operation whatdepends. [09:09] someone help me please im about to rip my freaking hair out [09:09] ManDay: Err: apt-cache stats whatdepends qt [09:09] ManDay: apt-cache depends vlc | grep qt [09:09] Zac198969: whats the prob [09:10] terminhell: Okay, I will look into that. Thanks. [09:10] theadmin: That doesN't work either... [09:10] Mrokii: setting a negative nice value will give the process more CPU time [09:10] I've installed ubuntu on 2 different drives, cant get it to boot on either one, it gets to the grub screen and auto selects ubuntu but black screen after that [09:10] ManDay: Bah, whatever... I'm not too familiar with APT so... [09:10] Zac198969: what GPU do you use? [09:10] Zac198969: sounds like a corrupt iso [09:10] ATI 6850 [09:10] ActionParsnip: I don't need more, I need less. :) [09:10] ActionParsnip: And why would Ubuntu install the Bloody VLC by defautL!? [09:10] i've downloaded the iso twice [09:11] ManDay: VLC does not come on Ubuntu by default. [09:11] ActionParsnip: If all, I'd assumed it installed a Gstreamer player or just mplayer [09:11] Mrokii: then set a positove nice value [09:11] Zac198969: it also could be the kernel not loading the right vid driver [09:11] theadmin: Then why did ActionParsnip mention it? [09:11] Are ye'll just trying to confuse me?! [09:11] ManDay: vlc isn't default installed in Ubuntu [09:11] What would I do to fix that? [09:11] !info vlc [09:11] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.1-4 (precise), package size 1361 kB, installed size 3370 kB [09:11] ActionParsnip: Then why did you mention it. [09:12] ManDay: its in the universe repo and is optional :) [09:12] ActionParsnip: Thanks, will try that. [09:12] I see a strip of orange flashing at the top of the screen [09:12] Why did you mention it ActionParsnip [09:12] Zac198969: find out what driver you need loaded after grub bootstraps and you may have to manually load it into the intramfs [09:12] ActionParsnip: We're just trying to find out why Qt is installed on the default Ubuntu setup. [09:12] My question was why QT is installed by default [09:12] ManDay: because you said you had Qt installed, we were just working out possible apps you could have installed to pull it in [09:12] Zac198969: at least thats what i had to do to get arch to work [09:12] ManDay: its not default installed [09:12] ActionParsnip: I have no other apps but the ones installed by default. [09:12] ManDay: easy way to find out, try to remove QT and it will tell you what depends on it [09:12] ActionParsnip: My system proves you wrong! [09:12] Ouch, not sure how to do all that [09:12] bbl [09:13] Hey, I installed Windows 7 on a new partition after I installed Ubuntu, but now Windows 7 loads by default. How can I get GRUB to boot again as the default loader? [09:13] ikonia: Ha, that's a good one xD [09:13] !grub > Yoshi2889 [09:13] Yoshi2889, please see my private message [09:13] ManDay: i'd do what ikonia says, see what else it removes === owner_ is now known as Guest96265 [09:13] !recovergrub | Yoshi2889 [09:13] Bah [09:13] !restoregrub | Yoshi2889 [09:13] Yoshi2889: Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [09:13] !nomodeset | Zac198969 [09:13] Zac198969: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [09:13] Oh thank you! [09:13] Zac198969: just a sec, ill see if i can find something for ya to read [09:13] Thanks guys [09:14] hey there [09:15] needed some support upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04 [09:15] hello, I would like to download ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit ISO from a resumable download mirror, can I get some suggestions please ? [09:16] mi3: Use the torrents [09:16] mi3: torrents [09:16] mi3: it's the application that makes it resumable, not the mirrors [09:16] So i have downloaded the ISO file onto 10.04..how do i get it to extract/install? [09:16] !torrent [09:16] Some torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus/Vuse (Java), !Frostwire (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/help/faq - See also !P2P [09:16] But all Ubuntu mirrors are resumable [09:16] !torrents [09:16] Precise can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/precise/desktop/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/precise/server/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your needs. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969 [09:16] Zac198969: this might be a good start, though the editing of anything on your install will have to be done thru the live cd https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI [09:16] Where can I find synaptics or something like that? I want to install gtk3-devel - but I have no clue how to! [09:16] thank you guys ! [09:16] ManDay: it's inthe repo [09:16] Ubuntu used to have a software manager - where is it gone? [09:17] Do I manually need to install aptitude? [09:17] Booya2332: You can't upgrade using the desktop ISO. Only Alternate. Also, use "update-manager -d" in order to upgrade from within the system, that's by far the easiest way. [09:17] ManDay: install synaptics and you can install what you want [09:17] ManDay: Tried "sudo apt-get install gtk3-devel" [09:17] Ok, CLI it is, then [09:17] Thanks [09:17] ikonia: There's no "s" [09:17] oops [09:17] sorry [09:17] the_josh grep on a 300meg file taking time [09:17] Booya2332: you can mount the alternate ISO in the OS and run the upgrade scrit there, you should be able to also boot to the ISo using USB or CD and upgrade there too, you don't manually extract the ISO [09:17] ManDay: apt-get install gtk3-devel [09:17] ManDay: Synaptic, not synaptics [09:17] ManDay: yes aptitude and synaptic are no longer installed by default [09:17] typo [09:17] Also the Synaptic is available in the Software Centre [09:17] theadmin: You can upgrade using a desktop CD. I may be wrong though [09:17] theadmin: won't that go to Quantal as that is the (d)evelopment release? [09:18] hi im using kubuntu, and after doing an update, my x-server is running fine while, a kde session refuses to start up it says: klauncher(11753) kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server., but dbus is running, what do? [09:18] there is no package gtk3-devel :-/ [09:18] !info gtk3-dev [09:18] Package gtk3-dev does not exist in precise [09:18] Bisheey: you need dbus installed [09:18] ManDay: try: apt-cache search devel | grep gt [09:18] terminhell: if its running, i guess it is intsalled [09:18] ActionParsnip: No, since Quantal is not an LTS and IIRC LTS releases are configured to upgrade to LTS by default. On the other hand, the update manager won't see the latest LTS without -d until the last point release (e.g. 12.04.1) is releasd [09:18] OK..So i can load it on a USB and upgrade it..cause i just spent 20 minuted downloading it:( [09:18] Bisheey: is your user account added to the dbus group? [09:19] Anyway I'll try reinstalling GRUB and report back if it works :) [09:19] theadmin: oh yeah, the releases file will keep it at bay, nice one :) [09:19] terminhell: yup [09:19] Okay, so nomodeset worked. Do I just need to install my latest drivers now and it'll be fine or how's that work? [09:19] theadmin : So i can load it on a USB and upgrade it..cause i just spent 20 minuted downloading it:( [09:19] ?? [09:20] I cannot find the gtk3 devel package?! [09:20] Booya2332: You can only upgrade using the Alternate ISO. Not a desktop one. [09:20] ManDay: it is there, do a search [09:20] !info libgtk-3-dev | ManDay [09:20] ManDay: libgtk-3-dev (source: gtk+3.0): development files for the GTK+ library. In component main, is optional. Version 3.4.1-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 3768 kB, installed size 16045 kB [09:20] ikonia: I AM searching [09:20] Bisheey: not sure man, ive not used kde since 3.5x [09:20] thanks yeats I didnt fnd that [09:20] terminhell: okay, thanks for trying [09:20] theadmin :can i go onto my windows partition and load the ISO from ther? [09:21] Guys, I have downloaded nvidia's new driver for ubuntu with "apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings" [09:21] I also rebooted [09:21] theadmin: You were WRONG [09:21] But it dosn't seems I can increase resolution or anything [09:21] It didn't create a single bloody partition! [09:21] so, heh, I am stucked here [09:21] anything I can do ? [09:21] On a 500 GB device! [09:21] Booya2332: Ugh. Is it the Alternate ISO? If so, you can just do this: sudo mount -o loop Downloads/ubuntu-alternate-blah-blah.iso /mnt [09:21] the_josh: what does xrandr report for resolutions? [09:22] ManDay: Okay... Thanks for the correction, I'll keep that for future reference... That's just silly though [09:22] terminhell: xrandr ? [09:22] It is [09:22] You can create a startup disk for desktop, and choose "Upgrade" at installation [09:22] the_josh: yea, its a command [09:23] ManDay: Well, sorry for the inconvinience. I suppose I confused the Ubuntu installer with something else's... Too many distros I've tried, too little I've really used [09:24] So how do i find out the proper video driver to load after launching with nomodeset? [09:24] dont feel too bad theadmin , i dont even use ubuntu, but i help out here anyways, or try to [09:24] terminhell: Same here actually [09:24] Zac198969: until you get the one that works? [09:24] theadmin: Ubuntu Desktop iso only has the feature since about 10.10 or 11.04 [09:25] i can't ping my laptop which is on 12.04 from my desktop which is on 10.04, does 12.04 have some sort of strange firewall or something [09:25] zombifier: What feature? [09:25] Upgrade from Desktop iso [09:25] zombifier: Oh, huh, I didn't know that was at all possible [09:25] Ben64: you probably need zerconf [09:25] Ben64: someone else was having this problem last night (my time) [09:25] terminhell: Is there a list somewhere? I don't know my way around linux when it comes to desktop environments [09:25] Ben64: Nope, it shouldn't have one preconfigured... I mean, yes, ufw and iptables are installed but they're unconfigured (read: disabled) by default [09:25] terminhell: Well, xrandr tells me my current resolution [09:26] ManDay: did you find what QT depended on ? [09:26] terminhell: Which is 800x600 [09:26] ikonia: you sure same problem? if i start pinging from laptop->desktop, then it starts magically working from desktop->laptop [09:26] Heh, my GFX card is Nvidia Geforce 520 GT [09:26] the_josh: does it list other resolutions? [09:27] ikonia: Not yet, I'm doing another install now, this time without "third party tools" [09:27] the_josh: also, have you rebooted after installing the driver? [09:27] ManDay: I'll check it myself, don't worry [09:27] ikonia: Anyway, what's the korrect cpkg / apt command to find out what depends? [09:27] apt-cache depends [09:27] ManDay: I'd just suggest doing a "remove" on QT and see what the warnings says [09:27] i can ping other IPs from my laptop without my desktop receiving a response from my laptop, but as soon as i start pinging the desktop, it works [09:28] the depends line won't be %100 solid as it won't show optional depends [09:28] nvm, that was the exact reverse of what you asked for [09:28] theadmin: Here is another corrrection: It seem to have created partitions for swap, but they were just ridiculous [09:28] ManDay: Uh, "ridiculous"? [09:30] all ports come up as filtered without initiating a connection from the laptop [09:30] Darf man hier auch deutsch sprechen? [09:31] nope [09:31] Gummitier, #ubuntu-de [09:31] !de > Gummitier [09:31] Gummitier, please see my private message [09:31] terminhell: Aye sir [09:31] I did reboot [09:31] terminhell: And it dosn't list other resolutions [09:31] Ok. Thx [09:31] Ben64: do a sudo iptables -L [09:32] all blank [09:32] Ben64: someone else had this exact problem before I went to bed [09:32] ~24hrs ago? [09:32] Ben64: If what ikonia says is true, read stuff at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com and you may find the reply. [09:33] the_josh: does your card come up with lspci? [09:34] Ben64: less than that about 8 hours [09:34] actually about 12 === james is now known as Guest38838 [09:34] Reinstalling GRUB from the disc worked, thank you! [09:35] *kudos to Yoshi2889 [09:35] Ben64: people where looking at firewalls, routing, name servers etc, it was so random in terms of help I couldn't be bothered getting involved and went to bed [09:35] One last question: How can I set the "Default" keyring to automatically unlock? It's pretty annoying that I have to enter my password every time [09:36] Yoshi2889: Remove the default keyring's password, that's the only way [09:36] cant [09:36] Yoshi2889: Use "seahorse" to do so. [09:36] Okay, is that a package available in the repos? [09:36] Yoshi2889: It's a program that should come preinstalled [09:36] Oh okay, let me check in a moment [09:36] Yoshi2889: IIRC it appears as "Passwords & Encryption Keys" in the menus [09:36] Yup found it [09:36] Or something along those lines [09:37] terminhell: Aye sir [09:37] It allows me to change the password but doesn't allow me to unset it it seems [09:37] this is weird... I updated last night before going to bed. shutdown my machine. boot it up this morning and my desktop looks to have reverted back to what it looked like after a fresh install [09:37] Yoshi2889: Try setting it to an empty one? [09:37] Oh wait it does nevermind [09:37] Jun 20 2012 15:42:45 From 192.168.1.109 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable [09:37] terminhell: If you are doubting that, it is properly connected or not, then I must tell you I have windows as second OS and I have it perfectly working in there [09:37] found it, i think [09:38] Thanks, I set it, let me try logging back in for a moment to check if the dialog box is gone [09:38] terminhell: Any clue ? [09:38] :\ [09:38] the_josh: not doubting the physical install, just seems that the driver isn't loading properly. You may have to blacklist another default vid driver? [09:39] Yay it's gone :) [09:39] Thanks! [09:39] !yay | Yoshi2889 [09:39] Yoshi2889: Glad you made it! :-) [09:39] theadmin: It's a few hundred megs, and as I said, the rest is all one big partition for the FS [09:39] ikonia: Did you find out? [09:40] Don't you have a cmd for me, ikonia ? [09:40] ManDay: Oh... That's silly, my swap is normally at least 2G [09:40] I truly LOVE Ubuntu === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby [09:40] Swap is generally the same size as RAM [09:40] Yoshi2889: try some other distros too :) [09:40] I had loads of problems with Windows 7 on my laptop (BSODs about page files), installed Ubuntu and all my problems were gone [09:40] zombifier: Well, I think you'll admit that if you have an 8G RAM, having *that* much stop is not cool -- I mean, just how often is that much usually busy? [09:41] ActionParsnip: I tried Linux Mint and Fedora, but both weren't as stable as Ubuntu is :) [09:41] lol [09:41] s/stop/swap/ [09:41] >.< [09:41] theadmin: If there's a lot of RAM, then we wouldn't be using swap at all, unless we want to hibernate [09:41] Ubuntu is the only one of three which actually hibernated when I told it to [09:41] Yoshi2889: may your nix adventure be a great one [09:42] terminhell: Heh, thanks :P [09:42] Already lovin' it [09:42] heh maybe one day you'll give arch a try :p [09:42] Also, if you have a lot of RAM, set the swapoff value to a very low level [09:42] or whatever it's called [09:42] but i dont recomend it without a few years of 'practice' with something like ubuntu and others first [09:43] oops, swappiness [09:43] Oh, since you are talking about RAM, I have 8 GB installed and Ubuntu reports 7.6 GB, is that correct? [09:43] Yoshi2889: mint isn'y a million miles away from Ubuntu, Fedora is a good choice, try Mandriva too or XPUD :D [09:43] Yoshi2889: a portion of ram is set aside, its normal [09:43] terminhell: Oh, okay :) [09:43] Word of the day... "modularizing" [09:44] Yoshi2889: That may have to do with the difference between GB and GiB [09:44] ActionParsnip: I heard good stuff about Mandriva, never heard of XPUD though [09:44] tbh i hate the new ubuntu desktop [09:44] Yoshi2889: xpud is the ChromeOS of Firefox, lol [09:44] blasphemer! [09:44] vampirnata: You can install any desktop you like, from what I've tried (and seen lol) [09:44] vampirnata: Maybe you like http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/ [09:44] Yoshi2889: sure, but the default you get sucks [09:45] get kubunt....nvm [09:45] kde is also meh [09:45] vampirnata: I agree that it needs some time getting used to it, hah [09:45] I like gnome 2 [09:45] mint mate is great [09:45] use awesome, or xmonad === jimmy_lo is now known as jimmy_lo_chien_f [09:45] There are a lot of choices: gnome-shell, gnome-panel, kde, xfce, lxde, openbox, enlightenment, twm [09:45] blablabla [09:45] real men dont use GUI's [09:45] vampirnata: you don't have to use it... [09:45] vampirnata: When you log in, you can click the Ubuntu logo and select "GNOME Classic" from the menu [09:45] Yoshi2889: yreally? [09:46] That boots you into GNOMe 2 [09:46] I'd say try it :) [09:46] vampirnata: Install gnome-panel for the classic desktop [09:46] I didn't know that. Will do that then! [09:46] quote: I personally just encourage people to switch to KDE. This "users are idiots, and are confused by functionality" mentality of Gnome is a disease. If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will use it. I don't use Gnome, because in striving to be simple, it has long since reached the point where it simply doesn't do what I need it to do. Please, just tell people to use KDE. http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds [09:46] "gnome 2" [09:46] terminhell: flash games in terminal is a bit tricky [09:46] hello. Do I really need "ifenslave" for interface bonding (LinksAggregation) on ubuntu 12.04? [09:46] ManDay: just installing now [09:46] vampirnata: GNOME Classic, it's identical to GNOME 2 [09:46] peetaur: kde is the same horrible thing really [09:46] Yoshi2889: what if you have autologin? [09:46] xfce is the new gnome 2 [09:46] vampirnata: or install xfce4, log off then log into the xfce session.. [09:47] vampirnata: Dunno about that, but I'm sure there will be some setting [09:47] * Yoshi2889 googles around [09:47] I have tried each for years, and have come to the same conclusion as Linus. [09:47] vampirnata: You can choose the default session. Forgot where it is, but it should be obvious [09:47] i use gnome-shell, but i spend more time in terminals [09:47] They are both horrible, but you can work around most of it. But in gnome, it's all just missing, not 'needs configuring'. [09:47] zombifier: wasn't obvious. i looked around last night [09:47] but i may be blind [09:48] ActionParsnip: flash games are lame usually, so meh to them [09:48] Hi all... I am running ubuntu 11.4 and the network manager wont let me edit the wired connection.... its greyed out [09:48] terminhell: depends on the user :) [09:48] terminhell: I always install my apps from the terminal, unless it's something obvious like Skype lol [09:48] Also, my DNS settings keep resetting in resolv.conf... [09:48] terminhell: do you use Guake? [09:48] hi [09:48] d1rkp1tt: click the unlock button? [09:49] ikonia: Is there no command to check why a package is installed? Gentoo has "equery depends ..." for example [09:49] There is no unlock button [09:49] ManDay: apt-get policy packagename [09:49] oops, it's apt-cache [09:49] ActionParsnip: it varies, awesome sometimes, guake is ok [09:49] ActionParsnip: terminator is my homeboy [09:49] I never had such awesome sound as I have now in Ubuntu lol [09:50] I'm seeking for an experienced linux person to get some advice, who has 8 more years linux/unix/ubuntu whichever experience that may help me? [09:50] Yoshi2889: logged out and then clicked the ubuntu logo. Setting is called Ubuntu 2D [09:50] ManDay: im sure theres a dpkg flag that will show it [09:50] MadMan: scrap that command, that's for checking if a package is installed [09:50] shahriyarguliyev: just ask and the channel will reply [09:50] Yoshi2889: thanks for the tip :) [09:50] vampirnata: Really? I thought the GNOME Classic was GNOME 2 [09:50] vampirnata: again, you don't have to use unity [09:50] Yoshi2889: It's not, it's just the Fallback mode of Gnome 3 [09:50] Yoshi2889: gnome2 is not in the repos [09:50] hmm actually that didn't do it [09:50] shahriyarguliyev, i can break any debian in less than an hour if that helps [09:50] still running unity [09:51] Yoshi2889: its gnome3, just using gnome-panel as the shell [09:51] ManDay: aptitude why packagename should show you nicely why a package is installed [09:51] gnome classic isnt gnome 2, its this weird hybrid of gtk3 without composition effects [09:51] ManDay: yes, but it won't be useful as it won't show optional dependency's if you hang on while I'm installing I'll tell you [09:51] terminhell: you can use gnome-panel with effects [09:51] vampirnata: That's what I expected [09:51] ticho_: how many years have you been working on unix enviroment? [09:51] !ot | shahriyarguliyev ticho_ [09:51] shahriyarguliyev ticho_: #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! [09:51] i just don't like the stupid bar on the side and no "start" icon [09:51] ActionParsnip: Oh, last time I checked it was GNOME 2, but that was in like 11.04 lol [09:51] ticho_: any nix system can be broken with a single command... [09:51] !notunity | vampirnata then dont use it [09:51] vampirnata then dont use it: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [09:51] Yoshi2889: 11.04 did use Gnome 2 indeed [09:52] bazhang: stop dazzling on me, I do not flood! [09:52] Yoshi2889: in Oneiric and later, it is all gnome3, you can use gnome panel and it will look like Gnome2 but it is all made using GTK3 [09:52] ubottu: okay will check it out thanks :) [09:52] vampirnata: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:52] shahriyarguliyev, its offtopic here. take chat elsewhere [09:52] lol @ ubotto [09:52] :P [09:52] vampirnata: There's MATE-Desktop which is an exact GNOME 2 replica, you may enjoy using it if you're fan of the "classic" Ubuntu look (circa 10.04) [09:52] shahriyarguliyev: how is experience related to your support question..? [09:52] still nice to thank bots though [09:52] bazhang: I will find someone helpful then leave. do not annoy [09:53] theadmin: yah i have mint mate on one of my laptops [09:53] shahriyarguliyev: just ask, if someone can reply they probably will. [09:53] vampirnata: You told us that you like MATE, Cinnamon is basically MATE with a touch [09:53] but i installed ubuntu for my wife [09:53] Well not a simple touch [09:53] MATE is unstable though. I prefer GNOME classic [09:53] fall back mode [09:54] terminhell, i always seem to find the right one, sorry for offtopic [09:54] ticho_: ;) [09:54] ActionParsnip: I am thinking about leaving Windows properly and turning to linux distro. So I need someone informative about linux in my certain questions in private i'll ask [09:54] bye [09:54] lol [09:55] shahriyarguliyev, just ask your questions [09:55] !ot [09:55] #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! [09:55] shahriyarguliyev: this channel is for ubuntu support discussion, any issues/question about ubuntu we can answer in the channel for you [09:55] My question is not ubuntu related. bazhang may ban me out of here [09:55] shahriyarguliyev, better do it here if admins will allow, otherwise you may get bad support in pm [09:55] Oh by the way, is there some way I can add the fade-out closing effect to opening in reverse? [09:55] shahriyarguliyev: then don't ask it in here, find the correct channel eg: #gentoo for gentoo questions etc [09:56] Yoshi2889: Cinnamon = GNOME Shell with a classic look, MATE = Gnome 2. Not similar at all. [09:56] shahriyarguliyev: just ask and the channel will reply [09:56] lol I don't want to flood. If someone has 8 more year linux experience, tell me [09:56] ActionParsnip: they won't - it's not an ubuntu question as he's said [09:57] shahriyarguliyev, Your flooding now, just ask yur questions [09:57] ikonia: could give him a single chance, to see what is asked, then move? [09:57] ActionParsnip: he's said it's not an ubuntu question, so take it to the correct channel [09:57] i do shahriyarguliyev [09:57] ikonia: makes sense [09:58] shahriyarguliyev: if its ubuntu based, ask here. Generic Linux questions will be fielded in #linux [09:58] Is it possible to add the fading out effect in reverse when opening windows? [09:58] shahriyarguliyev: pm me your question [09:58] terminhell: Can I ask you certain questions in pm? I'm Mac OS admin, just seeking for best linux like mac os kernel..so i need some advice,..can u ? [09:58] Yoshi2889: check in the animations setting in ccsm [09:59] shahriyarguliyev: ill try [09:59] huhu [09:59] ActionParsnip: Okay [09:59] shahriyarguliyev: the mac kernel is different to linux [09:59] So my Network Connection cant be edited... can anyone help? [09:59] FreeBSD, since osX is bsd based shahriyarguliyev [10:01] ActionParsnip: I don't really get what I have to change now, I'm in the Effects menu, the opening and closing look almost identical [10:01] Ubuntu forum doesnt work with Ubuntu chrome.. [10:01] Stink [10:02] firefox is better these days, imho [10:03] d1rkp1tt: works fine for me [10:03] does anyone of you run interface bonding on ubuntu 12.04? [10:04] ironm: on other ubuntu version yes, not 12.04 specicically [10:04] leckey, you can post? [10:04] ActionParsnip: Nevermind, I got it, thanks :) [10:05] Yoshi2889: or you could ask in #compiz it's not something I know a lot about as I don't use it [10:05] ikonia, may I ask if you had to install "ifenslave"? [10:06] ironm: no, I didn't [10:06] The forums are terrible... they keep logging me out in either browser [10:06] Its enough to make getting support really difficult [10:07] ikonia, than it looks that I am missing something. I can see the bond0 interface (with IP-address) but can't ping the default gateway (only one cable in the switch for the test) [10:07] I been using Ubuntu since 8.04 and I really feel like abandoning it now [10:07] d1rkp1tt: have you made a new user to test if your settings are bad? [10:07] Excuse me, in 12.04, is there something I can do with my mouse that does the same as hitting Super+W? (preview/expose all windows) [10:08] ikonia, may I ask how your config looks like? (/etc/networking/interfaces and /etc/modules or /etc/modeprobe.d/bonding.conf) [10:08] busfahrer: you can assign hot-corners in compiz [10:08] Fix my user in the forum before I can fix this problem with my OS? lol [10:08] Hi [10:08] ActionParsnip: Do I need extra software for that? [10:08] Trying my luck in the dev comp [10:08] d1rkp1tt: its just to test, why is that funny? [10:08] ironm: I do'nt have one to hand here sadly as I'm not on a network with ubuntu machines on [10:08] busfahrer: its part of the compiz install.. [10:08] hi im tryingt oget alien arena setup on my server but cant seem to find a simple walkthru can anyone help me? [10:08] on second thought d1rkp1tt, I can't log in :P [10:08] ActionParsnip, Just funny because I feel like I am jumping through hoops to configure an IP address [10:08] ikonia, thanks a lot for your answer anyway :) [10:09] d1rkp1tt: are you wanting to use static IP? [10:09] ActionParsnip: He's confusing forum user vs. system user. [10:09] ironm: I do know I have had this discussion about ifenslave before with someone else and my config never used it and he couldn't get it to work [10:09] d1rkp1tt: Create a new user account on your system and see if you can create a network connection there. [10:09] Yes, but /etc/networking/interfaces has no affect, and I am locked out of edit network connections. MY DNS also keeps getting over written [10:10] d1rkp1tt: should do, are you configuring it right? [10:10] d1rkp1tt: you should not be using /etc/networking/interfaces if you are using network manager [10:10] d1rkp1tt: is your user in the network group? [10:10] ikonia, I cant use network manager [10:10] ikonia, I have used interface bonding on debian sid without ifenslave and it worked .. howerver the same config doesn't work on ubuntu 12.04 [10:10] Checking [10:10] ironm: as I recall it was slightly different than debian setup, but it still worked without ifenslave [10:11] d1rkp1tt: specifically the network & networkmanager groups [10:11] I dont have a network group [10:11] d1rkp1tt: if you can pastebin the interfaces file, we can advise. [10:11] there ya go... [10:11] or networkmanager group [10:11] thank you ikonia .. I have to play more with the setting around [10:11] terminhell: No such thing. [10:12] d1rkp1tt: you'll need to add your user to those 2 groups [10:12] terminhell: Hi, there are no such groups. [10:12] jpds: what? [10:12] terminhell: my groups are: $USER adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare and I can usenetwork manager just fine... [10:13] does anybody know how to atomatically add a new user to a group, when creation that user? [10:13] I dont think those groups exist [10:13] ikonia, can you remember if you have modified only interfaces or also other files like /etc/modules or /etc/modprobe.d/bonding.conf ? [10:13] ironm: I had to play with bonding.conf, I do remember that [10:13] they exists, i guess ubuntu handles things differently [10:13] ironm: that set the bonding mode etc [10:13] terminhell: they do'nt exist in ubuntu [10:13] ikonia, yes [10:14] c3sso: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-add-user-to-group/ [10:14] ikonia: weird, i wonder how it handles things then [10:14] terminhell: what things ? [10:14] terminhell: then how can I use net manager ok without being in the groups you mentioned? [10:15] i dont know, thats my point now [10:15] http://pastebin.com/6RSDZ3UY [10:15] interfaces [10:15] i guess im just not used to the hand holding of other distros, but i digress, lets see if we can figure this out [10:16] d1rkp1tt: No 'auto eth0' ? [10:16] terminhell: what are you talking about, you're just making up random permissions and groups rather than antthing that's actually relevent to ubuntu or other modern distros [10:16] ActionParsnip: shure, but what I want is that when I create a new user (on commandline or through gnome gui), that it gets added to a group automatically [10:16] d1rkp1tt: you forgot to add: auto eth0 [10:17] hi all [10:17] hello [10:17] d1rkp1tt: echo "auto eth0" | sudo tee -a /etc/network/interfaces > /dev/null [10:18] I have a problem with python library [10:18] c3sso: man useradd [10:18] will try [10:18] c3sso: i believe it's: sudo useradd -G admin newusername for example [10:18] c3sso: but check with the man page [10:19] I installed a library, but python can not find it [10:20] alo21: check your environment paths [10:21] alo21: how did you install the library, and what error do you get? [10:21] ikonia: Found something? [10:21] doing it manually is no problem, but getting a new user added to a group seems to be altered in some config file [10:22] autiomatically [10:22] -,^ [10:22] ManDay: install just finished and it's rebooting post install [10:22] ManDay: bit slow as it's on a vm [10:22] On an unrelated problem: How can I get thE ATI driver to work? I've used "jokey" additional driver sources to select FGLRX - but after a reboot it's still not used?! [10:23] On a note, I can very much understand how any user new to Ubuntu gets frustrated to no end if this happens to him/her... [10:23] terminhell: how? [10:23] kushal_kumaran: I installed it via synaptic and I did not get any error [10:24] ManDay: its a new OS, it's natural. I found the same with Windows7 [10:24] ActionParsnip: A new OS? What? [10:24] What are you talking about? [10:25] jpds, That worked... thanks [10:25] alo21: with that package specifically, not sure [10:25] alo21: so it's a debian package? which one? might you be installing a python2 module and attempting to use it with python3 (or your custom python build)? [10:26] I had to manually edit my xorg.conf now, ActionParsnip - I don't think this can be put onto any normal user - it basically defies the whole point of "jockey" [10:26] rebooting [10:26] ManDay: new users to Ubuntu will get frustrated, it's normal [10:26] kushal_kumaran: I downloaded the source from the website [10:26] ActionParsnip: Yes, by stuff like that [10:27] Ubuntu had "Additional Drivers" for years [10:27] ManDay: a lot of it is for unity 2d [10:27] kushal_kumaran: I run ./configure then make and then make install [10:27] It's hard to believe it's STILL not working with famous drivers such as fglrx [10:27] kushal_kumaran: sorry [10:27] ManDay: there appears to be some app menu stuff that also depends on QT === k1l_ is now known as k1l [10:27] kushal_kumaran: I make a mistake [10:27] ikonia: ok, brb [10:27] yall like unity? [10:27] ManDay: the ATI components are well known to be hit and miss [10:28] kushal_kumaran: I do not know if is a debian package I installed that module via synaptic... so I suppose yes [10:29] alo21: a bit confused: did you build python by hand using configure and make? If so, python libraries installed using debian packages will not be found by that python. [10:30] mandel: works great with nvidia, never had a single issue since gutsy [10:30] I added a "Device" section with driver "fglrx" - now Ubuntu freezes in the purple splash screen on boot... [10:30] Any idea why? [10:30] mandel: did you follow the proprietary driver guide>? [10:30] ActionParsnip, wrong autocomplete ;) I guess you ment ManDay [10:30] kushal_kumaran: yes. To install python 2.7, I did it by hand [10:30] mandel: gah [10:31] ManDay: works great with nvidia, never had a single issue since gutsy [10:32] mandel: cheers ;) [10:32] ActionParsnip, no problem, happens to me lots [10:33] alo21: then you need to install python libraries using python's mechanisms (such as running pip install ), rather than debian packages. [10:35] Hey again guys, had to get rid of Pidgin as it was acting horribly [10:35] Anyway, yet another question (lol) [10:35] alo21: make sure to use your custom python when installing libraries, so you don't step on debian-owned files (virtualenv is extremely useful in such cases: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv) [10:36] ikonia: Can unity 2d be disabled? [10:36] ManDay: it's not in use by default [10:36] ManDay: it's a fall back [10:36] ikonia: but it's installed anyway [10:36] ManDay: just use a different shell, or DE [10:36] yes, it's a fall back [10:37] Unity2D is awesome, all the goodness of Unity without Compiz screwing stuff up [10:37] bbl [10:37] Ugh Empathy crashed [10:37] Anyway [10:38] Whenever I try to log out, my laptop hangs and I need to restart it [10:38] kushal_kumaran: maybe I should install python debian package [10:38] What may be causing this? [10:39] dbus comes to mind [10:39] terminhell: To whom are you talking? [10:39] you, sorry Yoshi2889 [10:39] Oh [10:39] Heh [10:39] What may be wrong with dbus? [10:40] kushal_kumaran: how can I remove python 2.7 if I installed it by hand? [10:40] alo21: debian stable has python2.6, testing has python2.7 [10:40] depending on the DE your using, it may be required by certain functions of that DE [10:40] Yoshi2889: if you press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run: ps -U $USER -u $USER u [10:40] Yoshi2889: what is still running? [10:40] kushal_kumaran: does not matter [10:40] Spotify, Empathy and probably Firefox [10:41] @ActionParsnip [10:41] What is the default permission for the /home/ folder ? [10:41] I think I screwed it up accidentally [10:41] alo21: might not be a straightforward way, you might have to go snooping around in /usr/local for files installed by make install [10:41] Yoshi2889: ok, run: killall -u $USER and you should be able to log back in [10:42] nuketro0p3r: 755? [10:42] Yoshi2889: if you relogin and run those apps, then close them and log off. Is it ok? [10:42] Is it 755? [10:42] kushal_kumaran: ok... thanks a lot [10:43] @terminhell: should I execute chmod -755 /home/ ? === mitch is now known as Guest90984 [10:44] nuketro0p3r: justa sec [10:44] Well, without doing sudo can I do apt-get ? [10:44] I am admin, but say I don't want to do sudo [10:44] Okay that got me to a black screen with which I couldn't do anything [10:44] Well log in and type [10:44] The_Intel: I don't think you can [10:45] nuketro0p3r, Once I have accessed a remote computer with ssh in which I did apt-get [10:45] I was not even admin [10:45] I wondered how [10:45] nuketro0p3r: are you talking about /home or /home/user? [10:45] Well, That program was installed only for me [10:45] terminhell: /home [10:45] nevermind, How do I install a certain specific software just for me ? [10:46] The_Intel: Install it in your home directory :D [10:46] Oh. [10:46] and set persmissions [10:46] Could you please repeat the command you gave me? (sorry I don't have the contact list anymore here....) [10:46] so that noone except you can access that folder [10:46] nuketro0p3r: 700 [10:46] terminhell: Okay ty :) [10:47] nuketro0p3r: /home/user would be 755 [10:47] terminhell: I changed it to 750 :D [10:47] terminhell: home/user [10:47] nuketro0p3r: if thats what you want haha [10:48] terminhell: will adjust /home now. Thanks for the help [10:48] Hello Everyone Please tell me a web development tool like dreamweaver in windows for ubuntu [10:48] blowfish? [10:48] Raji: bluefish is one example [10:48] ^^ [10:48] !info bluefish [10:48] bluefish (source: bluefish): advanced Gtk+ HTML editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.2-1 (precise), package size 252 kB, installed size 659 kB [10:48] Raji: there's not a one-to-one replacement for Dreamweaver - Bluefish is good [10:48] ActionParsnip: Can you please resend me the command you gave me? I got stuck in the black screen and couldn't paste it there lol [10:49] Raji: Have you tried Dreamweaver with Wine? [10:49] Yoshi2889: killall -u $USER [10:49] ActionParsnip: In blue fish we have to write each and every code & for desiging also i have to write code [10:50] Raji: or http://www.webupd8.org/2011/01/bluegriffon-new-wysiwyg-editor-which.html [10:50] ActionParsnip: Yeah I can't do any commands when stuck there, it gets rid of Unity and leaves me with a window without borders there [10:50] nuketro0p3r: yes but no use [10:50] Raji: or http://drupal.org/project/ckeditor [10:51] Yoshi2889: in CTRL+ALT+F1 you can type the command [10:51] ActionParsnip: Okay [10:51] !info nvu | Raji [10:51] Raji: Package nvu does not exist in precise [10:51] hmm [10:51] * Yoshi2889 makes note [10:51] ActionParsnip: in /etc/adduser.conf I found what I searched for [10:51] c3sso: nice, thanks for the share :) [10:51] ActionParsnip: I understood that nvu was abandoned a while back (I may be wrong) [10:52] yeats it's now called Kompozer, I use it [10:52] MonkeyDust: ah [10:52] Thanks ActionParsnip :) [10:52] Raji: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/wysiwyg-html-editor-for-linux-49257/ [10:53] For web editing I usually use Komodo Edit [10:53] Which reminds me that I need to install it [10:53] Yoshi2889: Use Vim or Gedit if you are Beginners Like me [10:54] bipul: I tried Gedit but didn't work for me. I usually write big scripts and having to press TAB every time doesn't help with that [10:54] Thanks for the tip though [10:54] :) [10:54] Yoshi2889: what kind of Script ? [10:54] PHP scripts are my favorite lol [10:55] Yoshi2889: you welcome [10:55] nano or vi :p [10:55] Nano rocks lol [10:55] how about geany? [10:55] geany isnt bad [10:55] its not great...but not bad [10:55] I prefer Komodo Edit over it lol [10:55] Yoshi2889: or small pebbles :) [10:56] eclipse with all of its plugins? [10:56] Ubuntu 12.04 is failing to resume from suspend on my netbook. The actual suspending part works fine, but when I try to resume, the power LED comes on, but nothing whatsoever is produced onscreen. I've tried hitting Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to a TTY, and it has no effect. In fact, not even the magic SysRq key has any effect. Currently, I'm on the stable-release 3.4 kernel for Precise, but I had the same issue with the… [10:56] …mainstream 3.2 kernel. Thoughts? [10:56] get yourself a better map. Honestly its hard to say [10:57] dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M ::: does this command take 100sec for a 100M disk ? [10:57] ive rencountered this issue since having the 3.4.3-1 kernel [10:58] hichamat: Generally it taked few Second [10:59] OODavo: what netbook? [10:59] OODavo: 3.4 kernel isn't supported in Precise [11:00] A Lenovo. S10e, if I recall correctly. [11:00] This one: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4-precise/ [11:00] bipul Im using it for 4gb usb flash drive : (6 min and still), it's normal ? [11:00] OODavo: its not supported here [11:01] Right. The same problem exists under the current 3.2 kernel, however? [11:01] OODavo: do you have swap partition, since i saw many people cannot suspend without swap [11:02] OODavo: what netbook? [11:02] OODavo: is your swap partition encrypted? [11:02] There's no swap partition, since it's a Wubi install, but suspend was working up until a recent update (I'm not certain which, unfortunately). [11:02] wubi :( [11:03] they should just get rid of wubi [11:04] That would be rather inconvenient, since I can't perform a non-Wubi install on the system. [11:04] i cant configure a network printer installed in widows plat form [11:05] showing the status "Processing - Unable to connect to CIFS host after (tried 3 times)" [11:05] OODavo: well just my thought: you should uninstall ubuntu and do some fresh install, since wubi cause a lot of bugs and troubles [11:06] Mandalord: Perhaps I do need to. That's really annoying, though. :P [11:06] Everytime I start Firefox from a previous graceful system shutdown it thinks that it has crashed [11:06] OODavo: wish you luck:D [11:07] cdavis: how about remove firefox and reinstall [11:08] hello, i need to know about setting nomodeset in boot options [11:09] i want to configure a network based windows printer? [11:09] showing the status "Processing - Unable to connect to CIFS host after (tried 3 times)" [11:09] mynameisthom, it can help with the video sometimes. what problem are you having? [11:10] I have, traditional 1 green panel , 1 red and 1 blue panel on my Realtek soundcard [11:10] can you help me [11:10] showing the status "Processing - Unable to connect to CIFS host after (tried 3 times)" [11:10] I can get output from green panal [11:10] I also can input from red input panal [11:10] it showing the status "Processing - Unable to connect to CIFS host after (tried 3 times)" [11:10] Although, I cannot get output from blue panel [11:10] anybody knows about it [11:10] anybody knows about it? [11:10] which I do in Windows, since I have realtek hd audio manager [11:11] Can someone kindly tell me what I can do. [11:11] compdoc: nothing, someone help me out of my prob, and suggested to add nomodeset to bootoption. And when I confirmed what 'nomodeset' is for, he was not answered.. [11:11] I suppose, I need to configure digital sound for that [11:11] But I do not see any such option :\ [11:11] i am using a network printer [11:11] can you help me [11:11] mynameisthom, people use it when they have a problem booting like cannot see the video [11:12] mithran: you've installed samba? [11:12] it ya [11:12] yeats: yas [11:12] mynameisthom, otherwise, its of no use [11:13] mithran: and you used the "add printer" feature to find it on the network, select a driver, etc? [11:13] compdoc: yeah,, it was because of my video prob. http://i.imgur.com/oczVU.png What if I enable compiz when 'nomodeset' is set? [11:14] Greetings fellow linux users, developers and kernelguys! ;-) [11:14] mynameisthom, try it [11:15] translators and girlfriends! [11:16] yeats: i tried that way but showing the result in "Processing - Unable to connect to CIFS host after (tried 3 times)" [11:16] thats one of the things we miss in the linux world. Girlfriends! [11:16] yeats: wat Shall i Do? [11:16] Help me too, please :) [11:17] Right, I find that suspending also doesn't work under 3.2 /and/ 3.0. It used to. I do not know what's going wrong. :| [11:17] lol [11:17] Did you knew Linus wife is a third times karate world champion! Thats pretty impressing! [11:17] !ot | mernilio [11:17] mernilio: #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! [11:18] I accidentally deleted /bin/bash while attempting to point /bin/sh to it and not /bin/dash. How can I fix that? sudo aptitude reinstall bash won't work [11:18] For me at least. Im pretty easy impressed of just about everything.. ;-) [11:18] hi all [11:18] zzippy: hello my new friend! [11:19] lmg_: make sure /bin/sh is pointing to a shell [11:19] It is. [11:19] It is pointing to dash [11:19] mernilio type /join #ubuntu-offtopic, it's more what you want [11:19] lmg_: Hm. What error is aptitude giving you then? [11:19] To make things clear, I'm still on the system, using bash. I think that's why it fails. [11:19] Let me paste it [11:20] MonkeyDust: thanks! I think you are right! :-) [11:20] mithran: I would look in /var/log/samba/ for more detailed error messages. If that doesn't help, you might ask in #samba [11:20] lmg_: I suggest you change your login shell to dash (or some other shell you may have installed) until you've reinstalled bash. [11:21] yeats: ok thanks === ankur is now known as aum [11:21] How can I make sure it is the case? [11:21] Will it default to /bin/sh if /bin/bash doesn't exist? [11:21] lmg_: On a side note, there's nothing to gain from using bash as sh [11:21] lmg_: run chsh [11:21] I need it to be able to run a thing called buildroot. [11:22] when i am trying to make a new user from the command useradd u1 then my default i am getting /bin/sh shell through which i am unable to login with account u1 in graphical mode [11:22] Well, does anybody knows how to get realtek hd manager for ubuntu ? === aum is now known as aum_ [11:22] Or, how to get output from blue panel [11:22] lmg_: Then buildroot is broken and should be fixed instead of hacking around it like that. [11:22] ..can someone have look at a manually edited xorg.conf for nvidia? X doesn't start, I cannot see the mistake I made.. [11:22] bipul: Don't use useradd, use adduser instead [11:23] geirha, Okay, i'll have a problem there: aptitude doesn't want to install anything else, since installing bash failed. It now talks about a lock file. I tried removing it, but I think I just made things worse. [11:23] :D [11:23] And csh isn't installed. [11:23] chsh [11:23] wait [11:23] I was typing csh [11:23] -_- [11:23] lmg_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:24] Well, I'll try to reboot. I'll let you know how it goes. [11:24] compdoc: it was a 'wow' :D *crashed* Revert back :) [11:25] what is the diffrence between useradd, and adduser ? [11:25] mynameisthom, you added nomodeset and then updated grub? [11:25] man useradd and man adduser [11:25] in rhel when i am trying to use useradd my default it alocate /bin/bash shell but in ubuntu /bin/sh [11:25] bipul: adduser is a wrapper for useradd. [11:26] bipul: Yes. [11:26] bipul: And /bin/sh -> dash [11:26] mynameisthom, after it boots, can you see the video properly? [11:26] jpds: /bin/sh can you tell me the characteristic of /bin/sh shell [11:26] bipul: adduser adds the right set of groups and sets your login shell for you etc [11:27] bipul: It's a pointer to /bin/dash [11:27] Anyone know why all the menu's to my apps I run have vanished? Like "file" "edit" "view" and of the sort [11:27] bipul: based on the configuration in /etc/adduser.conf [11:27] jpds: ok thank's [11:27] i acc did the command sudo chmod 700 / is there a way to reclaim root privelges? [11:28] bipul: http://wiki.debian.org/Shell [11:28] compdoc: yep.. with metacity. And everything is just fine r8 now, but compiz :D When I enable compiz, it was crashed. The monitor is flicking. So, I just revert to metacity.. [11:28] Okay, so it doesn't want to reinstall bash. Let me paste the output somewhere [11:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1052490/ [11:29] Here you go. === aum_ is now known as aum__ [11:29] Apparently it's missing some preremoval script that I never deleted [11:30] lmg_: Do those scripts exist, e.g. ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/bash.rerm [11:31] lmg_: err, lost a p there [11:31] Yep it does. === aum__ is now known as aum_ [11:32] lmg_: Ah, I see it on this ubuntu system here. It's a bash script, but since /bin/bash doesn't exist ... [11:32] Do you think replacing #!/bin/bash by #!/bin/sh would work? [11:32] Or are specific features of bash used? [11:32] lmg_: The code is compatible with sh, so yes, that might work. [11:32] Let me try that. [11:33] Oh god dash is annoying to use [11:33] lmg_: can i see the Log [11:33] lmg_: It's designed to be lightweight, no tab-completion or other unnecessary stuff :) [11:33] lmg_: shell sh and shell bash are all the same, just a tradition from UNIX [11:34] lmg_, you could install bash from source [11:34] Mandalord: No they're not [11:34] Mandalord: sh is dash on ubuntu by default [11:34] I think it worked. === aum_ is now known as aum__ [11:34] Mandalord, that's not true. [11:34] geirha, I know that by that's when you realize how even lacking history is painful [11:34] huh? I think /bin/sh point to /bin/bash [11:34] lmg_: You'll probably want to chsh back to /bin/bash then :) [11:34] Mandalord: not by default... [11:35] Mandalord: Do: ls -l /bin/sh === aum__ is now known as aum_ [11:35] Mandalord, read the log of the chan if you want, you'll understand why I'm having this problem, and how /bin/sh doesn't always point to bash :D [11:35] Mandalord: Even when /bin/sh points to bash, it behaves differently [11:35] geirha, yep. I'll do that and reboot, thanks for the help !

I'm on 12.04. I've used CompizConfig to set it so when I touch the bottom right corner, compiz exposes all windows in a preview, so I can pick one of them. This works, but when I logout and login again, it doesn't work anymore. The setting is still there, but I have to delete it and re-create it for it to work again. Anybody got an idea how to fix this? [11:44] hello [11:44] :) [11:48] !ot [11:48] #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! === zenix`away is now known as zenix` === annecy is now known as daithib8 === aum_ is now known as aum__ [11:51] Why doesn't my nvidia card work on latest ubuntu 12.04? I've installed nvidia-current (It is a recent card), but running nvidia-settings after reboot tells me to run nvidia-xconf, which in turn breaks my xorg (after reboot) === lolcat is now known as lolFister [11:52] in bash how do i read a singl character out of a file? [11:52] apparently, nvidia does provide decent drivers [11:52] I've got an on-chip gpu and a discrete cpu, could that have something to do with it? [11:52] *does not [11:52] or just first line...it will only contain one number [11:53] yeah they do. [11:53] they are just closed [11:53] never had a problem with their drivers before. [11:53] you dont read the news, I guess [11:53] wookienz_: head -n 1 filename [11:53] lokai, did you install it manually, or used ubuntu's automated driver installation? [11:53] dontknow, tried both with the same results. [11:54] cdavis, thanks. can i call that inside bash script like that and assign to variable? ie $BLAH = head -n 1 filename [11:54] well, I should clarify: I tried with apt, and I tried running the latest linux drivers on nvidia.com [11:55] and according to nivida.com, my card is supported on x86 linux...though doesnt have info about the kernel version, but I guess this shouldn't matter [11:55] lokai: it matters a lot [11:56] from what I understood nvidia drivers are somehow "semi-compiled" based on the kernel it detects -- its not just pure binary (except from the apt repos, of course) === dark3n|off is now known as dark3n [11:57] but anyways the 12.04 apt repos would have the right package, and this doesnt work -- what gives? [11:57] wookienz_: $BLAH = "$(head -n 1 filename)" I believe will work [11:57] cdavis: no spaces around = [11:57] cdavis: also no $ [11:57] lokai, did you use "additional driver" software? [11:57] lokai: it hooks into the kernel so build an interface to the kernel, that's why the kernel version is important [11:58] cdavis: $BLAH should be BLAH [11:58] dontknow, don't know what you are referring to...I ran apt-get install nvidia-current [11:59] jrib, thanks. [11:59] modprobe -l nvidia returns kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko [11:59] lokai, i am saying, if you use "additional driver" software, it configures automatically [11:59] I don't know what "additional driver" software is [11:59] dontknow: I believe Additional Drivers is just a wrap-around for apt-get install nvidia-current anyway. [12:00] dontknow: installing from APT would usually run the kernel module compilation as part of the dpkg config stage. [12:00] anyone for the consolekit active=false problem? thank you [12:00] right, so could it be that the on-chip GPU and discrete GPU conflict? [12:01] lokai: possibly, although it would depend on the cards. [12:01] It's not an Optimus configuration is it? [12:01] DanielRM, i see, ok [12:01] DanielRM, yeah [12:01] it is [12:01] That's why then. Nvidia don't support Optimus on Linux IIRC. [12:01] Don't need it to, I just want to be able to use the damn card [12:02] don't care about dynamic load balancing [12:02] There are some workarounds. I'll just have a look for you. [12:02] jrib, how do i escape this correctly? echo "SCGIMount /RPC4 127.0.0.1:$RPCPORT" >> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [12:02] Having the nvidia card always-on is perfectly fine for me [12:02] and is actually preferable [12:02] lokai, linus torvalds gave finger for nvidia [12:03] lokai: it reduces battery life drastically, but I'm looking for you anyway. :) [12:03] wookienz_: what do you want to escape? [12:03] will $RPCPORT be ok in there? [12:04] wookienz_: do you want it to stay as "$RPCPORT" or do you want its value inserted? [12:05] lokai: can you get X up at all? [12:06] when i start conky the files in my desktop becomes hidden until i hover the mouse over them, would this be solvable from conky config? [12:07] DanielRM, Yes [12:08] If I remove the xorg.conf that nvidia-xconf creates, that is [12:09] anyone experiencing higher than usual cpu loads while idling on ubuntu 12.04 lts 64bit? [12:10] no particular userland process or system task showing up unusually high in top [12:10] hm, according to my googling it seems either I change the BIOS to only use the discrete GPU or go with some bumblee project drivers... [12:10] gluon, use "top" command and see what consumes cpu [12:10] gluon, no, but sometimes a program can do bad things. Ive built many Ubuntu 12.04 systems and its not a normal thing [12:10] dontknow: nothing does [12:11] even compiz isn't that high [12:11] i'm getting 0.30 cpu load in absolute idle though [12:12] so what's the problem... [12:12] that's 3% [12:13] unexplained 3%, it was close to 0 in 11.10 32bit [12:13] top should show you which processed take up that 3% [12:13] processes* [12:15] gluon, how do you measure? [12:15] how many processors do you have? I wouldn't really consider 0.3 cpu load anything to worry about it. Like vampirnata said, run top and see what is using the load... === jost_ is now known as jost [12:15] vampirnata, isn't 0.30 cpu load 3% only if he has 10 cores...? [12:15] no [12:15] does anyone know which location gnome-do index files? [12:16] on a 1 processor system a cpu load of 1 would mean the processor is being fully used. [12:16] yes [12:16] i have a dual core and it says 4.0. at the moment top reports 40% cpu from samba === balou_fr_ is now known as balou_fr [12:16] i always divided load by the cpus to gauge CPU usage... [12:17] you don't need to [12:17] yes [12:17] a cpu load of 2 on a 1cpu system would mean that there is enough work for 2 cpus. [12:17] yes [12:17] lokai: yep, Bumblebee or BIOS setting seems to be the way to go. [12:17] Hi, I'm on 12.04. I've used CompizConfig to set it so when I touch the bottom right corner, compiz exposes all windows in a preview, so I can pick one of them. This works, but when I logout and login again, it doesn't work anymore. The setting is still there, but I have to delete it and re-create it for it to work again. Anybody got an idea how to fix this? [12:17] i have %Cpu(s): 0,2 us, 0,2 sy, 0,0 ni, 99,2 id, 0,3 wa, 0,0 hi, 0,0 si, 0,0 st <- looking at "top" [12:17] so a load average of 4 on a 4 processor system means you are at capacity [12:17] Thanks DanielRM ...too bad >< [12:17] geekbri: no [12:18] lokai: Bumblebee won't run the Nvidia GPU for applications unless you run a specific program though. [12:18] DanielRM, yeah, and apparently it doesnt like my hardware either...Get a failure connecting to my discrete GPU [12:18] but anyways I look into it [12:18] like I said. I have a dual core. Current load is 4.0. In top the process taking the most is Samba which is 40%. [12:18] sorry, cores not processors. [12:18] geekbri: is right [12:19] vampirnata, if you are using top to look at cpu load you're doing it wrong. [12:19] the rest are 0-1%. so therefore 4.0 == 40% [12:19] vampirnata: you are forgetting about time multiplexing of processes [12:19] If you substitute "cores" for "processors" in what I said, It certainly is what cpu load means :) [12:19] that 40% isn't 40% 100% of the time [12:19] actually using htop but same diff [12:19] lokai: heh, sounds like fun times are ahead for you then. [12:19] Its just early in the morning so my brain wasn't working normally :) [12:19] no it's not but at the moment i'm copying through samba [12:19] load works exactly like geekbri said [12:19] so therefore it's constant 40% [12:20] sounds normal [12:20] what is a good ip blocker for lucid LTS [12:20] and even average load since i started the machine up is 4.0 [12:20] because i started copying as soon as i booted [12:20] WeThePeople: iptables or ufw (ubuntu firewall) [12:23] Hi there, how can i test how fast dns resolves via the terminal? [12:23] AdvoWork: type "host www.google.com" [12:23] AdvoWork: or nslookup www.google.com [12:23] are you experiencing cpu speaks when launching softwares? [12:23] or whatever domain you want to test [12:23] hi [12:24] i am experiencing cpu speaks when launching chrome [12:24] ikonia, can i specify the router ip to use for this resolution?ie if i have 3 lines, can i check nslookup www.google.com using each of those? [12:24] AdvoWork: what ? [12:24] can i sell ubuntu books here PM me if someone want to buy online [12:24] kmap: please don't advertise [12:25] ikonia, ive got 3 routers, all providin a different service for example, each have dns, my clients are using say 0.2. but i have 0.3 spare. By default it would be using 0.2 to resolve, but can i somehow check with 0.3? [12:25] AdvoWork: when you say "routers" do you mean "dns servers" [12:26] hi [12:26] ikonia, well adsl lines > routers (that all have their own dns servers) [12:26] AdvoWork: if you do "nslookup" [12:26] AdvoWork: and then server ip1, it will use the server ip1 for the lookup === esm is now known as Guest4635 [12:26] AdvoWork: then change it doing "server ip2" it will use the server ip2 for the lookup [12:27] lets say cpu temprature is 54.8, after launching chrome it increases 65.8 and decrease again immediately, but it gives instant fan noise [12:27] anyone from usa [12:27] kmap: why ? [12:27] http://xkcd.com/979/ [12:27] how can I open an .odp file if I don't want to burden my computer with OOo? how come google docs can't open this format? [12:27] dontknow: so you use cpu, a fan kicks in, why is that a surprise [12:27] Kornka: please don't post that sort of thing here [12:28] i wana sell books through my website and only usa people can buy [12:28] kmap: yeah, I told you not to advertise, so please stop [12:28] ikonia, is it normal in temperature increases like that, i didn't experience it in windows === lolFister is now known as lolcat [12:29] kmap: hi [12:29] hi bipul [12:29] dontknow: when you use a cpu, it can get hotter, yes [12:29] kmap: i like you nick [12:29] ikonia, ie nslookup www.google.com server 192.168.0.2? [12:29] google server 192.168.0.2 ? [12:29] AdvoWork: no, type nslookup, then when you get the prompt do server 192.168.0.2 [12:30] ikonia, ubuntu uses high cpu for particular things then [12:30] AdvoWork: man nslookup will give you the details [12:30] dontknow: no, if you use the cpu (launch a program) it may get hotter as it's in use [12:30] Hi [12:30] mates can you read this? [12:30] yes [12:30] ohh fine xDD [12:31] ikonia, why doesn't it get hotter when using windows? [12:31] dontknow: I don't know [12:32] ikonia, it means ubuntu uses much more cpu [12:32] no, it doesn't [12:32] geekbri: you were indeed 100% right, you always divide load by the number of cpus or cores to get capacity [12:32] geekbri: by the way, this article has a great analogy, good read -> http://blog.scoutapp.com/articles/2009/07/31/understanding-load-averages [12:35] vampirnata: 4.0 load on a dual core is 200% capacity [12:35] maybe those processes taking only 1% are a lot of them running or waiting on the running queue at the same time [12:35] yeah, I should have said cores not processors... but it was like 8 am.... So my brain wasn't doing so well :) [12:35] geekbri: lol [12:36] Backtrack needs very much power to... I think it goes to the webcam, fingerprint-reader and so one, because there is no correct driver [12:36] anyway, it would work the same even on multi-processor systems [12:36] gluon: ah yeah, scout usually has pretty good blog posts. [12:37] geekbri: i didn't know this blog [12:37] quite nice [12:37] gluon: scout is a ruby application that is sort of like munin or graphite. Its just that they host it [12:37] so you run the scout application on a bunch of servers and it uploads all its data to their hosted service and you can look at pretty graphs. === alan_ is now known as Guest68635 [12:38] yup [12:38] Its not bad, although its written in ruby, so its a bit of a resource hog.... [12:41] a very strange problem here!! When connected to the office network, on which there are a number of shares, the files in the trashes from all those shares are somehow showing up in my local trash ... what is causing this and how can I stop this from occuring? [12:41] zetheroo: probvably through gfs, it's not a problem [12:42] zetheroo: the trash is held on the remote mount point not on your machine so it not eating your resource [12:42] ikonia: well it's just that I don't want them to be in my local trash [12:43] zetheroo: have a look at your gnome virtual file system directory, see if that has anything to do with it (I'm assuming it does, I don't know for certain) [12:43] zetheroo: how are the shares mounted, NFS/CIFS/Fuse ? [12:43] ikonia: they are mounted through CIFS [12:44] hey all [12:44] zetheroo: not sure how gnome deals with that, but worth a look [12:44] gluon: maybe it's because of the processor I have. It's an dual core atom with hyperthreading [12:44] so I imagine it counts it as 4 cores then [12:44] ikonia: could you point me in the right direction of how to check that out? [12:44] ikonia: a bit of a noob when it comes to this stuff :P [12:44] zetheroo: look in .gvfs (I think that's right, I don't have gnome here) [12:44] folks, is it possible to boot straight to the command line in U12.10 and starting X later ? [12:45] but besides that, i'm still getting 4.0 average load on this dual atom with only samba taking 40% and the rest not much at all. [12:45] the last time I did this was on a 7.04 and settings changed [12:45] ikonia: that directory is empty [12:45] maybe not then [12:45] dual atom? sounds great then [12:46] I believe all atoms are dual no? [12:47] vampirnata, its more to do with the cpu type [12:49] anyone here have a nice uptime to share? :) [12:49] "Vidalia exited abnormally. Exit code: 2" what does this mean [12:49] Hey guys. I'm having some problems with using the dd command. I want to write an image to my USB. I have the right image and use dd of=/image if=/dev/sdx1 bs=4096. It writs the image, but afterworth I have an unmouthable image that I cant boot from. What am i doing wrong? [12:49] vampirnata: that would make sense yeah [12:50] still weird numbers though [12:50] Highest I've got is running since 2003.

I dropped down to 32bit os but before doing that I reformatted the HD an install fresh - since then no issue with dual monitors even rotating with no issue === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [13:01] yeah I am trying to do the wubi install [13:01] so that may be a factor [13:01] wubi :( [13:01] want to make sure I can do everything I do in Windows (To a degree) before I completely cut over [13:02] with nvidia you can have each display as a seperate x screen right? [13:03] Hello, guys [13:03] Nytelife: Actually doing it thru Wubi might be your issue [13:03] newbie here [13:04] Nytelife: Have you considered loading the Ubuntu ISO onto a flashdrive and Live-booting it and tweaking from there. [13:04] I used wubi for a while untill comfortable..Only was worried about missing Outlook and WoW.. Been on full 12.04 for 3 weeks..WoW working well within Wine and using Evolution.Once they get Evolution syncing with Ubuntu One I will be happier..But great OS. [13:04] Nytelife: You can preview Ubuntu and make changes to the flashdrive ISO without having to install it on your computer [13:05] anyone using intel atom d525 here? [13:06] LenovoG470: Hello newbie. :) [13:06] LenovoG470: Anything I can help you with? [13:06] hello [13:06] THANKs [13:06] i really need help [13:06] LenovoG470 a question is always a good beginning [13:06] I favoured wubi over the flashdrive as wubi supported 30gig if I remember..Only had a 8 gig Flashdrive [13:07] can anyone help me get S-Video out working on 12.04? [13:07] •cypher-neo• I am going to try that next. I have tried that with Linux Mint and had trouble wiht the ati drivers staying put ater a reboot [13:07] sad, my built-in microphone in Lenovo G470/11.10 is not detected [13:08] LenovoG470 not detected or muted? [13:08] not detected [13:08] Nytelife: This might sound a little complicated... but there is a specific process you can follow to make sure that the flashdrive operates correctly when Live-Previewing [13:09] Nytelife: If you're moving from *anything else* to Ubuntu, the process is a little complicated. [13:09] Nytelife : I have a ATI HD 5870 running well on 12.04.. Running WoW on Average at 60fps.. [13:09] cos it is not even shown in the sound settings [13:09] dual monitor Falzy? [13:09] or even just upgrading [13:09] take me for example [13:09] everything was working fine in 10.10 [13:09] Nytelife that's called 'learning', a phase you had go through with other OSs, too [13:09] Nytelife: You need to burn the ISO to a disk, and then Live-boot the disk. While in Live Mode, mount your hard drive, and find the ISO image... [13:10] then I got suckered into installing 12.04 [13:10] hey, any good free crm app for linux you can recommend? [13:10] now, no S-Video...bam [13:10] Nytelife: Then use usb-creator-gtk to create the flashdrive. === ankur is now known as aum__ [13:10] subdesign what's crm? [13:11] Nytelife: The Ubuntu USB Creator has more options that you would get by just decompressing the ISO to a flashdrive. [13:11] customer relation management [13:11] Nytelife : No not as yet...didnt realise that was what you were asking. Ill look into it. [13:11] is anyone familiar with using pidgin DBus and how to get a buddies status? [13:11] Nytelife: Specifically, you can set up the flashdrive allow package installation and to store packages and system info on the remaining space on the flashdrive. [13:12] Nytelife: And that's what you need to get a true Live-Preview. [13:12] Nytelife: Set it up so it uses the whole flashdrive and stores and SAVES all the extra data on the flashdrive. [13:13] Nytelife: Make sense? [13:13] Cypher what would be the advantage in using the live USB over the WUBI install. [13:13] Fallzy you wouldnt be in windows, for one thing [13:14] yes cypher it does === lolcat is now known as perfm [13:14] Fallzy: Wubi has weird issues... usually caused by being inside Windows. [13:14] Fallzy: Windows doesn't play well with any other operating system [13:14] Fallzy: To get a true Ubuntu experience, you need to take Windows out of the picture [13:15] Fallzy: And as long as your motherboard supports using a huge flashdrive, Ubuntu will support it as well. [13:15] Hello, does anyone here use a LenovoG470? [13:15] No probs. I used both before going 12.04 all the way. Found both versions ok...I do see your point though. [13:16] Fallzy: I've never had any problems booting off a 32Gb flashdrive, as long as the computer already supports that much space coming in thru a USB port [13:16] I do know I wont be going back. [13:16] :) [13:16] How can you make changes to grub on a system when you can't see anything? ie.

[13:17] Cypher : I did only have a 8gig USB and thought the 30 gig wubi install would be more useful.. But if you have a 32 gig USB Flash drive awesome [13:17] anybody here who can help me with the command "make && install"? [13:17] MonkeyDust, didn't work [13:17] MonkeyDust: version? === jrm2k6 is now known as Sketchup [13:18] uuser 2.4.0 [13:18] MonkeyDust: i installed version 2.4.0-2ubuntu1 but it crashes almost always [13:18] can anyone help with an undetectable built-in microphone [13:19] I need to somehow run grub.cfg on a headless machine [13:19] uuser well, I use it over NFS, as my music is on my remote PC, no problems here [13:19] MonkeyDust: i guess you are able to drag mp3s on the "new playlist" entry, right?

"gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.ui max-recents 10" makes it show ten, but its lost on reboot. how do i make it persistent? [13:28] Nytelife, shrink the current partition, and then use gparted to part the free space [13:28] How can you change the initial screen resolution on a live usb? [13:29] this is a windows 7 machine I will be repartitioning on [13:29] Hi all [13:30] uuser that's odd [13:30] Nytelife, use http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/resize-a-partition-for-free-in-windows-vista/ [13:30] How can I move and copy TO the current directory, this doesn't work : mv /remote/directory/file or cp /remote/directory/file [13:30] freshinstall: Go to Monitors...

[13:31] MonkeyDust, I'm sorry for the confusion, I mean in the local computer [13:31] meridious... will that leave the data intact.. Looks like it will [13:31] I don't want to do cd to the directory where the file is in order to copy in the directory she I am [13:32] Nytelife, I dont mean to be a jerk, but RTFM [13:32] CMIU898 a dot . means 'current directory' [13:32] CMIU898: you need source and target. a dot "." refers ti the current directory and can be used as either source or target [13:32] ahhh [13:32] well that was pleasant [13:32] I remember in Mandrake it was assumed current directory when destination was empty [13:33] Guess I will never as a question in here again lol [13:33] I used to do just cp /source/directory/file [13:33] and that's it [13:34] hey guys, is there a way to get the command line std output if its too far above to scroll there ? [13:34] CMIU898: cp is pretty much the same [13:34] MonkeyDust: yes, really odd [13:34] ActionParsnip, so cp doesn't need the . ? [13:34] christian__: in gnome-termnal there should be a scrollbar on the right [13:34] Nytelife, You misunderstand, I am just suggesting that simple research is much more rewarding and informing than any of us are :P [13:34] CMIU898: I'd use it just to be sure [13:35] ok thanks [13:35] hi, guys, has anyone resolved an undetected built-in microphone in 11.10 [13:35] ActionParsnip: i know, but its not possible to scroll that far [13:35] In my experience, reading the manual will tell you the intended result, but real world experience from others generally much better than anything else [13:35] hello there , i can't access phpmyadmin in ubuntu 12.04, i install it without problem but when i go to "http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin" tell me "Not Found The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server."

It seems I need hack up something in python... :D [14:24] rowin: Yes. "Wrote new config", "old one backed up". But no difference that has made =[.

I have it running on my laptop and my laptop says my root partition is maxed (I have root and home split) yet I have no idea why... [14:58] Papa: shows all the startup items rather than just the ones you add, be careful with what you disable [14:58] no download speed is fine [14:58] roasted: run a du on it [14:58] roasted: see what's eating the space [14:58] launch is slower in ubuntu [14:58] kk [14:58] i'm new to ubuntu, on my friends computer when he tries to watch a dvd or streaming video online it acts like a dvd is skipping [14:58] ikonia: oh my. lots of output. sec... [14:59] Papa: could also set swappiness to something like 2 if you have lots of ram [14:59] ikonia: there a quick way to organize this, biggest last? [14:59] roasted: du -h (get it human readable) [14:59] i have 3 gb ram [14:59] chrisalk: same in Unity2D session? [14:59] roasted: err, you could do it with sort I think, not sure without working it out [14:59] srry 4 gb ddr3 [14:59] guys, what is the default username and password for forked-daapd web interface ? [14:59] Papa: should be ok then :) [14:59] unity 2d? how do i access that? running 12.04 [14:59] ddr3 is faster than ddr2 no [14:59] !inity2d [14:59] Kingsy: that's not in the ubuntu repo [14:59] chrisalk: log off, click ubuntu symbol near your username and select Unity2D, then log in [14:59] Kingsy: ask the people who made it [15:00] Papa: more than likely [15:00] !unity2d [15:00] ikonia: oh, I am using xubuntu.. I guess that could be it [15:00] can i install that mint desktop in ubuntu? [15:00] Kingsy: it's not in the xubuntu repo [15:00] cinmon [15:00] Papa, mint stuff is not supported by this channel.. so we have no idea what issues it may cause [15:00] great,will try that now, i think we talked yesterday, i opened synaptic package manager but forgot what it was you asked me to enable [15:00] ok [15:00] ikonia: umm ? huh? I just installed it using apt-get [15:00] so it must be [15:00] Kingsy: what's the package name ? [15:00] i heard mint is based on ubuntu [15:00] ikonia: forked-daapd [15:00] oh there is a other problem now, the conky file is savety against writting'' so i can not change the file how can i change this? [15:00] !info forked-daapd [15:00] forked-daapd (source: forked-daapd): media server with support for RSP, DAAP, DACP and AirTunes. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.19gcd-2ubuntu1 (precise), package size 160 kB, installed size 484 kB [15:01] Papa, that dosent mean its supported here. ;) [15:01] Papa: it is and it's not supported here [15:01] Kingsy: ahh, my apologies, it is [15:01] ikonia: wayyy too much output for 1 screen. wasn't there an option to grep by page? [15:01] Kingsy: I'd suspect the username is the username/password of the user you are running as [15:01] roasted: | more ? [15:01] Hi [15:01] I have just screwed up my update-alternatives somehow [15:01] anodr problem i try to play a flash game in ubuntu it says please install flash but i have ubuntu restricted installed any soln [15:01] isn't there a disk space analyiser tool in unity roasted ? [15:01] ikonia: nope that doesnt work [15:02] ikonia: yeah, there is. but I'm a little confused by what I saw. sec I'll fire it up. [15:02] Kingsy: what user are you logged in as ? [15:02] I manually edited the alternative link to my app - it didn't work, so I read up how to do it via update-alternatives === Jikan is now known as Jikai [15:02] ikonia: "chris" [15:02] now [15:02] Kingsy: so non-privileged, it should be fine if it's using the standard auth [15:02] Kingsy: does it need a mysql database ? [15:02] ikonia: I have no idea.. I just installed it [15:03] No matter what I install for that app I get the same result, which is that it tries to open up something that doesn't exist [15:03] trying to log into it via http [15:03] specifically my app is grails [15:03] which lives in /usr/share/grails//bin/grails [15:03] let me look at the settings [15:03] ikonia: it says / is 100% full, and home (separate partition on same disk) is 88.4% full. When I expand home, I see .ecryptfs @ 36.2GB, jason @ 17.8 GB, jason.bunchofrandomcharacters @ 700MB, and that's it. I'm a little confused by the ecryptfs. Not only that, but root is on its own 15GB partition, separate from home, so I have no idea how the home contents (though confusing) are effecting the 100% output of / being maxed. [15:04] when I try run grails at the moment I get a message that says [15:04] /usr/bin/grails: 4: .: Can't open /usr/bin/startGrails [15:04] roasted: why are you looking on /home if / is full ? [15:04] roasted: look in / [15:04] Kingsy: just trying to find it's home page [15:04] isent / being 100% full is like bad... ;) === Jikai is now known as Jikan [15:04] my / is 20gb size... :D used 13gb [15:04] When I trace the link of /usr/bin/grails, it points to /etc/alternatives/grails which in turn correctly points to /usr/share/grails//bin/grails [15:05] ikonia: if I ignore home and look at the other entries taking up space, I can only come up with a sum of 6GB. Home is the only thing taking up any substantial space. [15:05] ikonia: there actually is no mention of username/password in the config file either [15:05] so why when I try open grails it tries to open some random file that doesn't exist ? [15:05] haxball i cannot play this game in ubuntu [15:05] My next question is, how do I fix this ? [15:06] !info haxball [15:06] Package haxball does not exist in precise [15:06] How do I fix a broken alternative config [15:06] Kingsy: the actual username password appears to be set in the database [15:06] when I `which grails` it points to /usr/bin/grails - which is correct [15:06] Kingsy: I'm just reading up on it now [15:06] ikonia: maybe I'm missing something, but here's a screenshot as I'm sure it'l make more sense than me trying to explain it - http://i.imgur.com/kmYTX.png [15:06] tjadc: yeah, you've said that [15:06] dude haxball is a browser game [15:06] www.haxball.com [15:06] Papa, dude... like we know that? [15:07] roasted: can you pastebin the output of "df -h" please. [15:07] ikonia: hmm .. well I didnt set any u/p for it.. so I assume its something "default" atm [15:07] ikonia: No, I didn't tell you my `which grails` command [15:07] it says install flash from adobe i can wath utubevideos [15:07] install the flash from the repos. [15:07] ikonia: another with home expanded - http://i.imgur.com/9KG8p.png - sec I'll get the pastebin [15:08] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1052784/ [15:08] What I don't understand is, where is update-alternative getting the idea that it should open /usr/bin/startGrails ? === stevanr_ is now known as stevanr [15:09] No where that I can see, has this been specified [15:09] roasted: what is warning you of it being %100 full ? [15:09] roasted: where did you get the warning ? [15:10] hello [15:10] @ActionParsnip, tried rebooting in unity2d, no luck, the online vid stream still hangs up as well as dvd on player [15:10] ikonia: a warning physically popped up and said my file system is maxed. [15:10] roasted: that's most odd [15:10] how do you move a folder from an encrypted hard drive to another harddrive [15:10] Papa: can you give a pastebin of: cat /etc/lsb-release; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' use http://pastie.org or similar [15:11] ikonia: any ideas? [15:11] roasted: with /run, that does appear to be taking you very close to %100 full on root [15:11] chrisalk: if you drop the @ stmbol it highlights my nick [15:11] @chrisalk: see hw this hasn't highlighted [15:11] Kingsy: nope [15:12] ikonia: well I cleared off some files which allowed me to get the error off my chest. When it happened I was just sitting here, though... so I had no idea what it was doing to max out. [15:12] jrib: thank you for your help yesterday. I tried changing allt he config files for compiz and unity, it still didn't work. I'm installing on a new hard drive right now [15:12] !fr [15:12] sorry and ty ActionParsnip [15:12] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [15:12] chrisalk: np dude [15:12] ikonia: so you understand, I have a folder @ root called public that I share out via samba. It's just a quick and dirty way for me to transfer files to other systems with guest access here at work. I had some files in there that I cleared out to get the free space I have. but that folder is empty and this is what I got. [15:12] ActionParsnip tried the reboot in unity 2d, no luck [15:12] im trying to run the old ubuntu classic desktop, I cant seem to add apps to the dock that runs on the top..what do i need to install for that to work? [15:13] roasted: well, the df results seem to back up that it's pretty much full, but not quite [15:13] i m using ubuntu 12.04 with cpufrequtils and the indicator-cpufreq ... the governor works but i cannot set the cpu speed and it is always at the max cpu freq [15:13] ikonia: right, which makes sense considering I deleted ~1GB of data out of /public (the guest shared samba folder I had running) [15:14] ikonia: I just did that to get the error off my back. [15:14] schatan: Are you sure your CPU supports dynamic frequency scaling? [15:14] roasted: that analyiser tool appears to be just lagging [15:14] schatan: Possibly something in the bios needs enabling? [15:14] nevermind, you have to hold dow the alt button to get to them [15:14] ikonia: think it's not telling us the full story? [15:14] roasted: it just appears to have not updated since you've removed the data [15:14] ikonia: hmm.I wonder hwy. it's been rebooted. [15:15] ikonia: lol its pretty funny that it lets you install a package and it doesnt tell you anywhere what they defaults are [15:15] sharkmuttleworth: its an i5 it should work [15:15] chrisalk: what GPU do you use? [15:15] schatan: I haven't heard of that brand, but I trust your knowledge [15:15] roasted: look at df - you've only got a bit of space free still, so there could be a bit of rounding going on, but not that much [15:15] i5 first or second gen and is it unlocked? [15:16] ikonia: it just kind of surprised me. I've never come close to maxing a 15gb root partition, and here I am. :P [15:16] roasted: I would use du -h to actually look at what's eating the space [15:16] roasted: it seems a drag, but that's what I'd do [15:16] This is why I avoid needlessly partitioning disks [15:16] unlocked first [15:16] What does Ubuntu set the default administrative directory to ? it is not /var/lib/alternatives (the default) [15:17] it worked in arch linux [15:17] for update-alternatives that is [15:17] schatan: like this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/indicator-cpufreq-cpu-frequency-scaling-indicator-applet [15:17] kmap [15:17] ActionParsnip: yes [15:17] I'm having trouble compiling Crystal Space [15:18] Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2250 @ 1.73GHz === drew is now known as Guest45993 [15:19] Orpheon: Are you familar with compiling software? [15:19] chrisalk: no the GPU (video chip) not the CPU (processor) [15:19] ActionParsnip: sorry [15:19] schatan: could contact the PPA maintainer I guess [15:19] ActionParsnip: A GPU is also a processor [15:19] sharkmuttleworth, somewhat. I've compiled a few things, and I coded this and that, but I'm not a master, especially not with Jam. I piped the entire log to a file [15:20] sharkmuttleworth: well, yeah ;) [15:20] which I'm trying to open but is crashing my gedit [15:20] ActionParsnip: Always happy to expand the knowledge of others [15:21] any one seen kmap [15:22] whois kmap [15:22] bipul: he's not in this channel [15:23] ActionParsnip: Intel mobile 945gm/GMS , 940/943GML, Express integrated graphics controler [15:23] kmap is trying to sell his books elsewhere [15:23] How can I force update an Ubuntu Software Center app? [15:24] Relondo, whjy do you need to force it? [15:24] can anyone in here give me some information about the forked-daapd package in the ubuntu repos please?? [15:24] Why has my Ubuntu laptop stopped connecting to wireless? It used to autoconnect on reboot, now it doesn't, didn't think anything had changed. [15:24] chrisalk: not the greatest but should work [15:24] Dr_willis: It doesn't seem to be doing it correctly on its own. [15:24] Relondo, fall back to the terminal perhaps [15:24] Relondo, and look for error messages/reasons why [15:24] there is very very minimal information on google about it [15:24] chrisalk: can you give a pastebin of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' thanks [15:24] Dr_willis: How do I do that? [15:25] ActionParsnip: ok, i'm having some difficulty finding partner repo [15:25] sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade [15:25] apt 101 ;) [15:25] bbl [15:25] Relondo: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade will work for me [15:25] ActionParsnip: i removed the indicator + cpufrequtils and installed cpufreqd ... now it works ... thx anyway === lupinedk1 is now known as lupinedk [15:25] schatan: sweet [15:25] Is there a way to run a command and export the entirety of the command to a text file?

[17:30] hello i want to insatll the netbeans in the live cd but if ai do that then when i reboot the pc its disapear how can i do without installing the ubuntu in the hard disk [17:32] Guest15345: use a USB stick with persistance === DjGeCk0 is now known as g3ck0 [17:40] hi, i have to connect to a xerox workcentre 6505 printer, but i can't find a ppd for it. === g3ck0 is now known as g3cK0 === graft_ is now known as graft [17:40] graft_, what does linuxprinting.org database say about that printer [17:41] bazhang: no results [17:41] thank you very much for your valuable informations [17:41] all the best [17:41] i installed libapache-mod-security and it wasn't working so i removed it and reinstalled it but now it isn't creating the .conf files in /etc/modsecurity this time around any ideas why it wouldn't do that now i'm installing again? [17:42] bazhang: actually linuxprinting.org just redirects me to linuxfoundation.org [17:42] bazhang: ah, openprinting.org [17:42] bazhang: but, not listed [17:43] graft, patience, I am checking [17:43] I recently got a new mouse after using my laptops trackpad for a while. I was just testing it out on ubuntu and I've noticed two issues.... The first one is, my scroll button (Middle button) seems to be mixed up.. [17:43] <_numbers> ever since upgrade to 12.04 ooffice writer menus always appear on the wrong screen. so if i have writer open in screen 3, then i right-click in the document, the popup/context menu appears on screen 4. same with file menus. [17:44] When I scroll up, it goes down. and vice vera... [17:44] Can I safely change my xubuntu to ubuntu without messing up settings and uninstalling programs? [17:44] or must I do a complete reinstall? [17:44] And its not consistent either. Some programs scroll backwards, others do it the right way. [17:45] crond: reinstall, its a different distro pretty much === g3cK0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ [17:45] graft http://www.support.xerox.com/support/workcentre-6505/downloads/enca.html?operatingSystem=winxp [17:45] crond: sure, remove xfce if you don't need it. Removing xubuntu-desktop will not do anything except remove the xubuntu-desktop metapackage [17:45] Pecker, ah. Well that'd be a huge pain. [17:46] Pecker: its not a different distro, its just some different apps [17:46] The second problem with this mouse is... well, not really a problem, more of a curiosity. How do I alter the buttons to preform macros instead of their functions [17:46] ActionParsnip, will installing ubuntu-desktop update my plymouth and everything? [17:46] platius: sure, what do i do with that, though? [17:46] platius: there's a ppd, but it's wrapped in some windows executable [17:47] graft: I find that the PPD's in the Printer Model Package (support.xerox.com) usually work just fine with similar models. [17:47] graft: for example, there is a xr_WorkCentre65.ppd, which might just work for the 6505 [17:47] oCean: ah i will try that, thanks [17:48] graft looks like the linux version is an rpm file witch is usually trouble for ubuntu, sorry [17:49] platius: the source code has to be somewhere ;P [17:49] crond: you can switch plymouth with: sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth; sudo update-initramfs -u [17:49] you sure the source tarball doesnt exist, platius, graft? === shennyg is now known as mauiuku [17:49] ActionParsnip, thank you [17:49] crond: quite trivial really but if you want to switch it you can [17:53] arg, now i need "/usr/lib/cups/filter/XeroxWCPfilter" [17:54] hello gurus, I did a fresh install ppc on a g5 and grub error so I booted to a boot repair disk and showing no default or ui configuration directive found any thoughts [17:54] Boing: what grub error do you get?

[17:57] fuzzynurfhurter: the superblock is duplicated every 8000 or so blocks, so you can fsck with a different superblock and check it [17:58] Has anyone tried to install Ubuntu on a brand new Macbook Air? The ones that came out last week KP when I boot from the install disc. [17:58] ok well even when i format the drive to any thing it still says something about it or some thing like $mft is invalid [17:58] fuzzynurfhurter: e.g. sudo e2fsck -f -b 8193 /dev/hda2 [18:00] ActionParsnip I am currently using a boot rescue cd and at boot: are there any parameters I can enter her to fix the mbr?

[18:21] it is possible to request the installation of gnome instead on unity during the ubuntu installation ? [18:22] echo083 unity is gnome + eye candy [18:22] I'm having issues connecting to a WinXP client. I notice that smbclient is installed on my machine but not smbfs(wrapper for cifs). I can get to the shares on the win machine but can not get a directory read as it asks for user name and password (password doesn't exist for this account). How do I overcome this hard stop? === MonkeyDu1t is now known as MonkeyDust [18:22] MonkeyDu1t, so could i remove eye candy ? which package it is ? [18:23] and ive tried the other command it says e2fsck -b 8193 already nothing different [18:23] !notunity| echo083 better read this [18:23] echo083 better read this: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [18:24] Scunizi, you can't provide username and password to smbclient ? [18:24] !classic [18:24] The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity [18:24] echo083: would that be "my" linux user name and pass? or the win machines? [18:24] Scunizi, no the win machine username and password [18:25] Scunizi, you want to access your winXP share from ubuntu ? [18:25] how could u get rid of bs sessions on the login screen that dont work?? [18:25] that is using 100% free software [18:25] echo083: it's not setup as a password protected machine (the Win machine) [18:25] MonkeyDust, okkkk cool :) i'll install gnome-panel [18:25] is module-init-tools started on startup? [18:26] echo083: and yes.. using ubuntu to view & modify files on the win machine.. [18:26] Scunizi, you are running your share from windows server ? [18:27] echo083: yes.. simple properties change within windows to share a directory ie.. Documents & Desktop.. also unticked the "Read Only" [18:27] box [18:27] Scunizi, /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\XXXX.XXXX.XXXX.XXXX\sharename [18:27] action?? [18:28] Scunizi, if you didn't set a password don't provide any to smbclient :) [18:28] what are some good keyboards to get for ubuntu that will actually light-up? mine doesnt [18:28] it only lights up for windows [18:28] pisac do mnie :) [18:29] Scunizi, you could explore your network with nautilus too [18:29] echo083: echo083 the IP settings on the network are DHCP so I would have to physically verify the IP each time I use that command.. one change I did make on my machine is to add "wins" to /etc/nsswitch.conf before "dns" but haven't restarted my network yet.. how do I do that on Ubuntu? [18:30] echo083: nautilus or dolphin.. that's what I'm currently using to explore the shares with. [18:30] has anyone here who owns an atom n2800 (or n2600) based netbook managed to get its hdmi port working *without* using the cedarview repo??? === axl__ is now known as axl_ [18:31] i am stuck with this grub loading stage 1.5 /n Grub loading, please wait.. I am trying to reboot to live cd and comes back to the same message [18:31] hi guys, could someone tell me how to disable the "hardware cursor" please? the internet suggests this might fix an issue I currently have [18:31] ne 1 had a prob with superblock http://paste.ubuntu.com/1053063/ [18:31] Scunizi, use ifup and ifdown to release your network interface and reactivate it === administrator is now known as Guest20251 === Guest20251 is now known as eliezer [18:32] echo083: thanks.. I'll give that a shot first then try the previous command using the IP address if nautilus or dolphin don't work directly. [18:32] Scunizi, ok :) [18:33] there a way to fix it through terminal?? [18:33] !unity [18:33] Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity === fnordeingang is now known as wasd [18:34] echo083: is the ifup / ifdown usage "sudo ifdown" to bring it down and "sudo ifup" to bring it up? [18:34] how do u take non working sessions off the login screen?? [18:34] i am stuck with this grub loading stage 1.5 /n Grub loading, please wait.. I am trying to reboot to live cd and comes back to the same message [18:34] Scunizi, yes sudo !! sudo ifdown IFACE [18:35] echo083: IFACE?? what's that? [18:35] Scunizi, where IFACE is the network card you want to release [18:35] echo083: ah.. like eth0 [18:35] Scunizi, yess !!!! [18:35] Anyone here running MySQL replication on Ubuntu 12.04? [18:35] echo083: ok.. got it.. brb [18:35] Scunizi, IFACE = Interface = Network interface [18:35] Hi. Can you guys recommend me a graphic client for mysql? [18:36] boing it wont get past the stage 1.5 grub loading?? [18:36] Scunizi, ifdown = IFACE DOWN ! [18:36] fuz yes [18:36] echo083: so.. sudo ifdown eth0 (or whatever it is) [18:36] ubuntu in unity 3D crashes a lot ....here what i get by typing unity --replace :"http://pastebin.com/EYFHPBPR" [18:36] Scunizi, yes !! [18:36] faryshta: Navicat, phpMyAdmin, MySQL dev tools. [18:36] faryshta, to configure mysql databases : phpmyadmin [18:36] Scunizi, and sudo ifup eth0 to reactivate it [18:37] fuz then i tried using the boot rescue disk and gave msg no kernel image found [18:37] Anyone running MySQL replication with 12.04 yet? [18:37] al_the_x, Gyges phpMyAdmin is for servers and have some security issues. I will try the rest of the toolsyou mentioned. [18:37] echo083: that brings another problem.. the system says.. eth0 & eth1 are not configured.. what's the command to see what it's labeled? [18:38] Scunizi, ifconfig [18:38] fuck [18:38] echo083: DOH! I should have remember that. [18:38] faryshta: Yes, phpMyAdmin isn't my favorite but can work in a pinch, particularly over localhost connections. [18:38] Scunizi, lol [18:38] al_the_x, it is a particular package to manage mysql replication ? [18:38] al_the_x: only for loclhost [18:38] faryshta: The MySQL Dev Tools package is pretty good, last I looked. Eclipse also has some nice ER rendering built in. [18:39] al_the_x, yes but for production servers its the last option I would use :-) [18:39] Hey guys, back for another round of support lol [18:39] al_the_x, mysql dev tools sounds nice let me install it :) [18:39] echo083: weird.. ifconfig confirms that eth0 is what I'm using.. but sudo ifdown eth0 says eth0 isn't configured.. ??? [18:39] faryshta: you can, if access is defined wise [18:39] faryshta: Agreed. But why have an accessible mysql in production anyway? :D [18:39] Scunizi, probably because you already release it, try sudo ifup eth0 [18:40] echo083: if that were the case we would be disconnected :) [18:40] Anyone using config files in /etc/mysql/conf.d/ to configure MySQL? [18:40] Scunizi, ohhh nice thinking ! [18:40] Scunizi, but you could have use your windows box [18:40] Scunizi, just not to lose my pride :) [18:40] echo083: true.. or the lappy next to me.. this happens to be my desktop [18:41] I reinstalled GRUB so I could boot Ubuntu from Windows again, but now GRUB shows me that selection screen every time I boot my laptop, can I change it to automatically boot Ubuntu and hold left shift for the menu? [18:41] s [18:41] echo083: perhaps just using the appelate in the gui to shut it down.. (running kde desktop right now.) [18:42] Scunizi, yes why not but i have no explaination with ifdown says your iface is not configured [18:42] programs disappearing after being minimized in unity 3D but works ok in unity 2D [18:43] . [18:43] echo083: am I back? [18:43] i gave up [18:43] you folks have experience w/ irssi ? [18:43] Scunizi, did you find your window$ box exploring the network with nautilus ? [18:44] echo083: same issue.. still asking for uname/pass.. :( [18:44] wasd, try #irssi [18:44] Scunizi, just click ok [18:44] lol I was happy for Skype 4 until I happen to know that it crashes my gnome session 5 times a day cool huh [18:44] Anybody? MySQL replication? Is there an #ubuntu-server channel? [18:44] wasd, what do you need to do with irssi ? [18:44] bazhang: already did - people are not very responsive [18:44] al_the_x: there is [18:45] echo083: i'm havin trouble loading a script [18:45] al_the_x, #mysql ? [18:45] glosoli: Indeed. When in doubt, /join something. :D [18:45] cant keep thinking i forgot some elementary thing :P [18:45] echo083: I don't think that using the appelate actually re-read the nsswitch.conf file.. is there a way to force that? [18:45] echo083: I'm not sure it's a MySQL bug yet… I'll hit up #mysql next. [18:45] is there a nessacary reason to install all the language packs? [18:46] al_the_x, there is no dedicated mysql replication channel :( [18:46] wasd, i'll be helpless i used once irssi to chat but that's all sorry [18:46] echo083: Oh. I had to hit enter numerous times before the request disappeared.. now dolphin is "Loading Folder". It's not cached so it might take a while.. but then may never happen as well. [18:47] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas there is no 10.10 . is there ppas for 10.10 ? or usable? [18:47] qdb: 10.10 is no longer supported [18:47] qdb 10.10 is not supported [18:47] Scunizi, now it shouldn't request any username or password to use your share as far as i remember [18:48] Scunizi, fix the name resolution and you'll be good. nsswitch.conf is loaded by nscd [18:48] is there an updated driver for an nvidia 9gt series card in teh repos? [18:48] where is "create launcher" in ubuntu 11.10 [18:49] i right-click the desktop and the only options i have are: create new folder, create new document... create new document does not have a subitem for launcher [18:49] Is there a way to automatically SSH with ubuntu? [18:49] thomasbomb: what do you mean [18:50] echo083: so to restart nscd it's sudo service nscd restart ? [18:50] Scunizi, yes ! if your nsswitch is correctly set it should be good [18:50] I want to use SSH to change settings on my router when a certain program runs [18:51] thomasbomb, you can ssh in a script and let the script run the program [18:51] xangua, bazhang, thank you. i have 10.10 installed and want to install intel gma 3600 enabled linux kernel. but the 10.10 is fresh , not very hard to install other thing. i have 10.04 usbflash. ... so i ll search whether there ready kernel for intel gma 3600 ... [18:51] is there a list over commands i can add in /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop? [18:51] my gconf-editor wont open, anyone know why that might happen? [18:51] Gyges yes that's what I want, how do I do that? [18:51] looking for a notray or so [18:52] echo083: nscd isn't recognized as a service.. :( .. perhaps just a reboot (I hate to do that when I don't have to) [18:52] Havelin, try running it from the console and looking at the messages [18:52] horay install done [18:52] Ahh yeah it's not installed /facepalm [18:52] thomasbomb: you can call ssh to do a command and exit, just like you would if you connected to it... e.g. "ssh root@host 'uptime'" will return the uptime of host [18:52] hello people [18:53] Scunizi, ohhh i don't remember which service is managing the nsswitch file when nscd is not installed i thought it was installed by default sorry [18:53] Hi Guys... I am struggling to install ubuntu 12.04.... the installer doesn't detect my windows 7 OS or partitions... any thoughts? :| [18:53] thomasbomb, http://pastebin.com/D0hM9XHH [18:53] Scunizi, yes reboot !! [18:53] thomasbomb: you'd need to setup password-less, key based authentication between your machine and the server [18:53] i ned help for asterix [18:53] Pokinawa: make sure you do a clean shutdown, or do a checkdisk from Windows to make sure the partition is clean. [18:53] Pokinawa: You probably have an invalid partition table, which will need to be fixed before installing Ubuntu (and which is important to fix on its own as well). Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l". [18:54] anyone [18:54] Well I don't really understand SSH that well... I guess I should look into it more before trying to write a script for it [18:54] thanks h00k.... strange thing is.... I can see the partitions in when i go to "Computer" in ubuntu (try live) [18:54] is there linux 3.4 for 10.04 somewhere ? so that bcmwl-kernel-source for bcm4313 wifi also works.. does bcmwl-kernel-source at least work in 12.10 alpha1 ? [18:54] but not when installing.... just see dev/sda 1TB FREE!? [18:54] Should I upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04? Anyone know what upgrade is like, how long it'll take? [18:55] does bcmwl-kernel-source at least work in 12.10 alpha1 , with 3.4 kernel ? [18:55] steveoliver: I have problems about twice a week with my 12.04 install, going from 11.10 and 11.04 on another machine. I suggest waiting for 12.04.1 in a couple months [18:55] Pokinawa: Did you see my message? [18:55] nope sorry... lemme scroll... [18:56] wcchandler, i'm glad I asked, sorry you're having problems. any way to roll back? [18:56] @Jordan... how do i fix this? [18:57] steveoliver: it's all good. they're not big enough to worry about rolling back for [18:57] steveoliver in a terminal type *do-release-upgrade* (without the stars) , takes about an hour, you have to confirm 1 or 2 things during upgrade [18:57] Anyone know how to enable anti aliasing with ati cards in ubuntu? [18:58] MonkeyDust, does 12.04 run any faster on the same hardware? [18:58] echo083: the "how to" on Ubuntu Forums also shows installing winbind.. know anything about that?

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [18:58] Pokinawa: It depends on what exactly is wrong, and "sudo parted -l" should tell us that fairly clearly.

[19:01] thank you, Pici [19:01] me either was of time [19:01] SSD hdd nets a ~10 second boot [19:01] waste [19:01] wcchandler, it helps when you gotta walk away and kids might decide to "work hard" :) [19:01] wcchandler: Not every has the option of an SSD, but when you got it, it's nice I admit. [19:01] Pokinawa: This is *much* easier to debug from GNU/Linux. Is it too difficult to boot from the Ubuntu LiveCD? [19:01] hi, question about partman and the 'priority'. I'm reading http://coewww.rutgers.edu/www1/linuxclass2010/lessons/lesson2/partman-auto-recipe.txt and it says that priority is usually between minimal size and maximal size. I don't understand why it should be in that range - isn't it only used in partitiion competition? [19:01] ive had a prob when trying to reboot ubuntu\ [19:01] hibernate/suspend has always been hit or miss in old versions of ubuntu, but so far, generally it's at least kinda worked [19:02] Jordan_U: No.. I'll reboot and join server from ubuntu again in a bit.. ty [19:02] Pokinawa: You're welcome. [19:02] maplebed discussions in #ubuntu-offtopic please [19:02] has anyone here who owns an atom n2800 (or n2600) based netbook managed to get its hdmi port working *without* using the cedarview repo??? === sudokode is now known as sudokode|echo [19:03] asus1025c: Is that one of the dual core ones or quad core ones? [19:03] does 'grub-install /dev/sda' install grub only or grub + MBR ? [19:03] MonkeyDust: sorry, I came here because it's the ubuntu installer preseeding that's doing the partman setup. is that really offtopic? === sudokode|echo is now known as sudokode [19:03] I'm happy to switch if that's a better place. [19:04] Scunizi, sorry i've to go i hope someone more skilled thank me could be helpful [19:05] is it possible to configure boot from SAN without the use of PXE for initrd, kernel, and boot? I would like to have 100% of the OS on the SAN [19:05] can anyone here help with an nfs problem im having trying to get a diskless install working? [19:06] zwned: If you've got an HBA I beleive so. [19:06] zwned, that would mean you have to have your HBA's recognised prior to boot [19:06] Keyboard not working on the LGE23 anyone know of a fix? [19:06] hichamat: Your question is odd because the portion of grub which is installed to the MBR is a pretty critical portion. "grub-install /dev/sda" will definitely install grub's boot sector to the MBR of /dev/sda, as well as embedding grub's core.img to the embedding area (usually the area between the mbr and first partition) and grub-install will also setup /boot/grub/ with the files grub needs (though it will not create a /boot/grub/grub.cfg, as that is ... [19:06] ... what grub-mkconfig is for). [19:06] kyle__: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N2800 cpu cores : 2 [19:06] zwned: iSCSI or fiberchanel HBAs show up as scsi devices. As long as your system/bios can see & use it as a scsi card, youre good. [19:07] asus1025c: Hum. Sorry, newest atom I have is a D525. [19:07] Guys, does /dev behave like /tmp? (I dd'eda partition to it and vamoosed on restart) [19:07] ok thanks anyway [19:07] damms005: /dev is a virtual directory (usually), /tmp is (usually) a physical diretory, and many distros clear it out on boot. [19:07] zwned: Only if you have firmware which supports whatever protocol you're using on the SAN, which is *very* unlikely. [19:08] kyle, they are [19:08] anyone tried a lightup keyboard with ubuntu yet? [19:08] how can i see whats running on port 80 [19:08] Thanks kyle__ : Just fried a partition...olo [19:08] Jordan, have server iSCSI offload firmware [19:09] zwned: iSCSI offload != HBA. [19:09] it worked todo the base install - however the when rebooting I get all of my NICs requesting DHCP [19:09] zwned: offload and hba are way different. [19:09] fission6, netstat -lnp|grep :80 [19:09] thanks === kris_ is now known as Guest35983 [19:10] http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/network/BroadCom/R125875/en/iscsi.htm [19:10] says boot from SAN is supported but only list windows servers [19:10] I believe Dell supports RHEL for this as well [19:10] how do to take out some of the sessions on the login screen they dont work any more [19:11] fuzzybunny69y, killall -u SUERNAME [19:11] if I need a Java plugin for Firefox, I just need to install "icedtea-plugin" and its dependencies right? [19:12] fuzzybunny69y, killall -u USERNAME that is [19:12] I can go into firmware and select my target also select it for boot [19:12] I get past grub but it hangs on DHCP RARP [19:13] fuzzynurfhurter, , killall -u USERNAME that is [19:13] I just get this "Downloading..." window with nothing in it and the standard Java unsigned applet warning [19:13] which is fine, but I can't click in the warning window because the "Downloading..." window is "in front of" it [19:14] How do I use SSH and a public key via terminal? [19:14] thomasbomb: do you have the public and private key already? [19:14] Yes [19:15] hi [19:15] ok, first you have to get the public key to the server...is that already done? [19:15] Yes [19:15] Alumin: Sometimes that happens with code meant for "official java". I've noticed that a fair amount with things that never get updated, like java on print-servers, crappy routers, etc. [19:15] ssh -i private_key user@host [19:15] forza Napoli asd [19:15] Keyboard not working on the LGE23 anyone know of a fix? [19:16] kyle__: it's not even getting that far though [19:16] I can't even get past the security warning about the unsigned applet [19:16] I'm currently downloading Ubuntu 12.04-server/amd64 and I plan to use it in a headless audio PC that also does torrents. What should I do during and after installing Ubuntu? [19:16] who is italian? [19:16] !it [19:16] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [19:17] Alumin: I've got some dells with a remote java-console. If I used openjdk or 64bit oracle-jdk, I get a downloading screen that doesn't move for 10 minutes, then it will magically connect, or just die. You mean in the applet right? [19:17] Alumin: Also, minimize your browser window, sometimes the allow-applet screens get hidden. [19:17] yes, and in fact the applet in question is a DRAC remote console [19:17] Alumin: Heh. 64bit system? [19:17] I can see the "allow" screen, it just won't accept my mouse input [19:17] 32-bit [19:17] Alumin: Fscking dell. [19:18] 10 minutes eh [19:18] well, I can wait that long :) [19:18] Alumin: Oh wow. 32bit official always works, openjdk/icedtea half the time.. It always works if I connect froma mac, if that helps. [19:18] Alumin: Of course it can't do cdrom/iso redirection from apples. Thanks dell. [19:19] I'm not using Sun's Java (well, Oracle's) [19:19] I'm using IcedTea / OpenJDK [19:19] * kyle__ nods [19:19] Anyon ehave input? [19:19] Oracle can bite my shiny metal ... hmm can I quote Futurama in here? :P [19:19] Alumin: I've got two chassis full of C5125s, and they're ALL like this. [19:20] orly [19:20] Alumin: Yes. [19:20] Sire: you haven't asked a real question yet. [19:20] what did you do about it? Just wait the ten minutes, install the Oracle plugin, or use your Mac? [19:20] I'm currently downloading Ubuntu 12.04-server/amd64 and I plan to use it in a headless audio PC that also does torrents. What should I do during and after installing Ubuntu? [19:20] Alumin: This is going to sound so lame. 32 windows xp in virtualbox. [19:20] haha [19:21] sire install the media center? [19:21] there's a winbox I can RDP into if it comes to that [19:21] I'd prefer to just wait the 10 minutes, I only have to do this once [19:22] Hey #ubuntu, is there a utility that will tell me the integer value of a key combination? I'm trying to configure my trackpad to handle three-finger swiping correctly [19:22] what's this "Downloading..." window anyway? I've never seen it before [19:22] grendal: do you have more specific information? Should I just look up the media center? [19:22] the integer value of a key combination? [19:22] like a key scancode? [19:22] morsnowski i dont want to stop them running i want them to not show up when i boot up theres atleast 8 different desktop sessions i can go into [19:23] Alumin: I think it's a java-web-start, so it actually downloads all the peices via an applet, before launching it in a less-restrivtive sandbox than an applet has. [19:23] fuzzynurfhurter, where ? [19:23] hi all, am looking for some help regarding a usb problem, i have an external drive with a 1tb hdd, i can only seem to sustain 1.5MB/s, both the external and the motherboard are USB 2, any ideas wot might b wrong? [19:23] the login screen when u first boot up [19:23] morsnowski: I thinkhe's talking about the gdm greeter screen [19:23] in grub ? [19:24] cndiv: xev maybe? [19:24] my ubuntu is going straight to terminal instead of unity [19:24] u can choose different sessions some work some dont [19:24] Sire, well there is an entire distro desigend for doing what your doing (probably) I think its mediubuntu. [19:24] what do i type start-unity or start-gnome? [19:24] yeah alumin [19:24] or myth. [19:24] maplebed, I'll try that [19:24] grendal, sire: no, medibuntu is a repository of media related packages. [19:24] thats right. forgot... [19:25] kyle__: thing is, though, if I just run "javaws " at the console, I don't get that error [19:25] i installed the lubuntu desktop session and now some of the other ones wont work any more lol [19:25] Jordan_U: Hey! So what was that command for checking my partition tables? [19:25] fuzzynurfhurter, not sure what you mean. can you post a screenshot? [19:25] whats the mediacenter distro called? I thought there was like a tasksel for it but..wasnt sure anymore. [19:25] Sire: You'll probably want to look into something like mpd for audio, and rtorrent for torrents... but you have a lot of choices. [19:25] Alumin: You can run that against the file it grabs. Sometimes it works. [19:25] my ubuntu is going straight to terminal instead of unity what do i type start-unity or start-gnome? [19:25] I do get some kind of "file not found" or whatever, but I assume that's cause I don't have the session cookie etc [19:25] grendal: There is no headless media center task. [19:25] no i would have to reboot its on the laptop imworkin on [19:25] Pokinawa: is "parted -l" what you're looking for? [19:25] hmm [19:25] So, I boot from SAN - I am seeing the GRUB menu and select my kernel. It starts to boot and I get stuck on mty 1500 DHCP RARP. Any ideas? [19:25] kyle__: hmm good idea [19:26] hold on...i must consult the oracle [19:26] maplebed: umm.. yes.. (probably) === Youri is now known as Iruoy [19:26] Pokinawa: sudo parted -l [19:26] Alumin how is the file specified by -i supposed to be formatted? [19:26] grendal, Pici, is Ubuntu 12.04/server a good place to start for this? [19:26] grendal: maybe you're thinking of XMBC or mythbuntu === sylvain is now known as Guest19272 [19:27] thomasbomb: the path to your private key file [19:27] Jordan_U: Warning: /dev/sda contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. [19:27] However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. [19:27] Perhaps it was corrupted -- possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT [19:27] partition tables. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an [19:27] msdos partition table. Is this a GPT partition table? [19:27] Alumin I mean the actual file [19:27] Pokinawa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:27] Is it supposed to be just the key? [19:27] thomasbomb: like, that would be id_rsa [19:27] (not, for example, id_rsa.pub) [19:27] Sire: sure, but be prepared to do some manual configurations to get mpd or whatever jukebox software you want to work. === christ_ is now known as also [19:28] the file that starts with -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- [19:28] yeah, that should be it [19:28] alumin what is a better discription of the greeter page? [19:28] Well it's not working >.< [19:28] maplebed, apt-get install xev isn't working and I don't see it in synaptic, did it change names perhaps? [19:28] Permission denied (publickey). [19:29] that can mean a few things [19:29] sudo dpkg -a --configure [19:29] 1) server isn't configured to allow public key authentication (unlikely) [19:29] Usually works for me when I have apt problems. [19:29] Ah. [19:29] 2) private key file not readable by your user [19:29] Jordan_U: It says "Unable to open /dev/sr0 read-write (Read-only file system) [19:29] cndiv: xev should already be installed, but if you don't have it, install x11-utils. [19:29] 2) permissions on private key (or the directory it's in) too permissive...SSH will refuse to use the key if any other user can read it [19:29] Pici, mk, I'll deal with all the configuration stuff. [19:29] but u know whatim talking about huh? [19:29] !pastebin | Pokinawa [19:29] Jordan_U: "Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!

[19:30] Pici, ok thank [19:30] s [19:30] fuzzynurfhurter, no or you would have gotten an answer [19:30] thomasbomb: your best bet is going to be to a) run your ssh client with -v, and b) check the logs on the server [19:31] alumin knows what im talking about the freaking login screen when it first boots to linux === also is now known as bathtub === bathtub is now known as unkempt [19:32] Alumin http://paste.ubuntu.com/1053155/ [19:32] (Not the whole thing) [19:32] guess i could try to delete it from the install uninstall program of the desktop sessions [19:32] Ubuntu installer doesn't detect windows 7... "sudo parted -l" returns "Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!" [19:33] morsnowski: he's talking about the list of available environments presented by the display manager [19:33] I don't know how to configure gdm as I'm a heretical KDE user, but that's the list he's trying to edit [19:33] thank u alumin i thought i made it plain as i could lol [19:34] Approx time to upgrade a base sys from 11.10->12.04 after download, moderately fast HD? === ovells is now known as Ruprecht [19:34] some will load and some wont any more [19:34] still not sure what he is talking about, maybe the dropdown box for the desktops?

Why are my partitions and Win7 not detected by ubuntu 12.04 installer? :( [19:35] yes i want to either take some of those off or fix them morsnowski [19:35] now then reinstall those desktops or uninstall them [19:35] thomasbomb: that's a strange filename [19:36] well that's where it generated [19:36] I'd recommend naming your private key either "identity", "id_rsa", or "id_dsa" depending on format [19:36] as i know it i spossible to compile latest kernel , but bcmwl-kernel-source will not be compatible with it?

I would recommend using "fixparts" to fix it, by removing the GPT signatures. [19:40] How can I enable ipv6 ? [19:40] i installed the ubuntu desktop edition and I heard of all this eye candy, which I guess is not on by default? What do I need to download or set up to get eye candy goodness? [19:40] on Xubuntu * [19:40] Pokinawa: http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/ [19:40] Jordan_U: I think i might have screwed up.. I assembled the PC myself! [19:40] alex_under: XFCE isn't really known for its eye candy [19:40] it does have window transparency though [19:41] I was using a tool to shrink my partition... and things have been strange ever since [19:41] if you want the "OMG I'm hacking the Gibson" eye candy you probably need to use GNOME or KDE [19:41] I have the standard ubuntu, so that's unity right?

This pack have a bug in 12.04..... [19:43] should i switch? I only have unity cause it came with it [19:44] Pokinawa: OK, then what probably happened is that the drive manufacturer used GPT as the format it started with, then the Windows installer clobbered it and used an msdos label without properly removing the GPT signatures (like a good GPT aware utility would do).

[20:06] Pokinawa, what problems are you having? [20:06] Pokinawa, have you tried using gparted? [20:07] nitrohax: My ubuntu installer doesnt detect Win7 [20:07] !anyone | Guest1232 [20:07] Guest1232: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [20:07] does it detect differnt partitions on the HD? [20:08] nitrohax: if I open "Computer" I can see it in the GUI... but the installer seems to think I have 1TB free space! o_O [20:08] so i am scared to install ubuntu.. just in case it wipes my windows 7 [20:08] Does, anybody know how to install a Netgear Drivers cd in Ubuntu 12.04? I have a desktop and can't connect to the internet without using the installation cd. [20:08] Pokinawa, have you thought about using the wubi installer then. [20:09] Guest1232, driver for what [20:09] yes... tried that in Windows... it only gives me the option to reboot with disk inside.... [20:09] My, Netgear Wifi.

[20:10] alright guntbert, many thanks! [20:10] Pokinawa, you installed the wubi and restarted and it did't take you to the window boot manager or grub?

[20:10] 11.10->12.04 [20:10] Sorry , Morsnowski Yes my Network Card well an antenna, that needs the drivers to connect to the internet. [20:10] nitrohax: Nope! straight to live mode.. with 2 options on install.. 1. Erase 2. Something else [20:11] nitrohax: I tried 2. Something else... and it doesn't see my partitions... [20:11] Guest1232, I'm afraid i never played witha netgear network card [20:11] Pokinawa, have you started windows, then put the live cd in? [20:11] yes [20:11] Here's the output so far, my distribution upgrade is frozen. http://pastie.org/private/vmjam7jxxncpdeqvu90xa [20:11] i have a few routers but thats it [20:11] Pokinawa, and while in windows you installed wubi? [20:12] Morsnowski, What do you suggest? [20:12] nitrohax: No, autoplayer launched "wubi.exe" anyway.. Do I need to manually install wubi? [20:12] Guest1232: Patebin the output of "lsusb" [20:12] most network vards are recognised by default, i don't even know whether thats ausb or pci card [20:13] Morsnowski, Sorry Yes, its a usb type. [20:13] Guest1232:: Or "lspci", depending of what kind it is [20:13] ok type lsusb and tell us what you get [20:13] "Lsusb" then [20:13] *"lsusb" [20:13] Galvatron, You'll need to be more specific i'm not familiar with Ubuntu that much. [20:14] nitrohax: One other thing... with 11.10 I could do it from Win (using wubi) but it only let me allocate a max of 30Gb to Ubuntu... is this normal? [20:14] ctrl-alt t and then lsusb [20:14] yes taht is normal. === dr0p is now known as pawdro [20:14] is there any fix for gnome3 removing the ability to scroll through tabs using the mousewheel? === pawdro is now known as dr0p [20:14] Paste the "lsusb" command to the terminal, and post the wohole output on on http://pastebin.com [20:14] Morsnowski, Well, I'll Try that then return online and tell you what i get [20:14] my (new) notebook's battery is sucked empty in no time on ubuntu. i had the suspicion that it uses the NVIDIA card instead of the power-saving intel graphix. but when i start nvidia x server settings it tells me nvidia driver is not used atm... any other ideas why it is empty so fast? [20:14] you shouldn't need more then 30 gb anyways doing it that way. you can still access the host HD [20:15] i7c: What laptop? [20:15] ah.. ok.. [20:15] Pokinawa, are you using the ubuntu live cd now? [20:15] Galvatron, Thanks for the helpful information. [20:15] yes [20:15] Galvatron: Dell XPS L502X === dr0p is now known as pawdro === pawdro is now known as dr0p [20:16] i7c: Make sure you have the proprietary (nVidia's) drivers, not the Nouveau junkware. [20:16] Galvatron: mhm how can i make sure? ;) [20:17] i7c: Check if the "nvidia-current" package is installed, unless you have installed it manually, from the NV website [20:17] ikonia, are you around? When I use ifenslave on ubuntu 12.04 interface bonding works as expected (with following config files: interfaces - http://paste.debian.net/175728/ ... and bonding.conf - http://paste.debian.net/175729/) [20:17] ikonia: I have tested some configurations (see config files in brackets) without ifenslave, and *no* one works :( interfaces - http://paste.debian.net/175730/ ... bonding.conf - http://paste.debian.net/175731/ ... modules - http://paste.debian.net/175732/ ). Do you have an idea what do I miss? Thank you in advance for any hints or examples of working config files without using ifenslave. [20:18] i7c: The open-source drivers suck terribly when it comes to the power management. [20:18] ok, dpkg --get-selections says nvidia-current install [20:18] Pokinawa, in terminal try sudo fdisk -l [20:19] why wont ubuntu find my ntfs HD ? i formated it useing linux just now [20:19] Galvatron: i see. i didn't install anything. i just installed ubuntu and it worked already... so i have to change that i guess? [20:19] fuzzynurfhurter, is it mounted? [20:19] nitrohax: I see sda1 - 4 [20:19] shall i pastebin info? [20:19] yes [20:19] no but it should automatically [20:19] Pokinawa, yes [20:19] it is *not* documented in unbunt administration guide [20:20] fuzzynurfhurter, does it show up as *gb filie system under home folder? [20:20] hi [20:20] no [20:20] nitrohax: http://pastebin.com/zQU5Dji6 [20:20] im in the disk utility looking at it [20:20] i7c: Seems like it's already installed. [20:21] Galvatron: mhm ok. well it was the very first time i unplugged the charger... maybe it's because of that? [20:21] i7c:: Just to make sure, use "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" [20:21] Pokinawa, /dev/sda3 is your d: drive for recovery /dev/sda4 is your windows partition [20:21] Pokinawa, /dev/sda1 is your mbr [20:22] nitrohax: sda1 is the system recovery i think? doesn't the " * " mean that? [20:22] it keeps giving me an exit code 1 when i do any thing to it [20:22] Pokinawa, no. the * states boot. [20:22] ah ok [20:22] Pokinawa, has anyone told you how linux looks at drives and partitons [20:22] gparted makes it easy [20:22] fuzzynurfhurter, does it list under fdisk -l [20:23] nitrohax: No.. please do.. :) [20:23] i7c: Another thing work checking are the "Bumblebee" and "Ironhide" projects - unofficial implementations of Nvidia Optimus. [20:23] Hi, Morsnowski i'm back. [20:24] Pokinawa, i tried pming you but you didnt' respond. send a query to me and i'll explain in there [20:24] nitrohax yeah it does and heres the error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1053227/ [20:24] Guest1232, I was afraid you'd come back :) [20:24] i7c: Unfortunately i can't help with them, since i don't even have a laptop. [20:24] so what did it tell you [20:24] I'm doing an ubuntu server install and after entering my desired hostname, the screen cleared the text-UI and isn't doing anything. Is it just loading or what? [20:24] fuzzynurfhurter, nto sure why it would be giving you the code === embalmed is now known as Embalmed [20:25] Galvatron: i just read about bumblebee yes. nvidia optimus is still not implemented by the drivers? [20:25] Morsnowski, Sorry I'm a little new to all this, just bare with me lol. What command do i put into Terminal before Isusb? [20:25] on Lubuntu 11.10 i installed gnome-shell but it doesn't wanna log on to gnome. [20:25] noting if you have the terminal open just type lsusb [20:25] i entered my user name and password and then it just shows the login screen again [20:26] Morsnowski, Alright Thanks, I'll be right back. [20:26] i7c: No. It was not until just recently that nVidia has decided to bring the technology to Linux. [20:26] hang on [20:26] it was telling me earlyier that the $mft was invalid [20:26] Sire: use alt+left to switch to another virtual terminal, repeat until you find one with logging/reporting lines, there you can see what is gong on [20:26] *going [20:26] Morsnowski, yes? [20:26] look for the line that has your netgear thingy and get us the ####:#### code [20:27] Morsnowski, Okay Thanks i'll try. [20:27] guntbert: last message was netcfg[12916]: DEBUG: Success! [20:27] looks like Bus 001 Device 004: ID 07d1:3c03 D-Link System AirPlus G DWL-G122 Wireless Adapt [20:27] Galvatron: i see. thx for your help! [20:28] i7c:: Now it's just a problem of implementing the required components into the kernel, but some free software purists, or so, are making a problem. [20:28] Something with the interaction between the proprietary and GPL components [20:28] guntbert: so the primary virtual terminal that's supposed to display the UI just seems to be printing the characters typed. [20:28] Sire: do you already get a screen with something like "press to open a console" ? [20:28] I passed at least two of those. [20:29] Two. [20:29] Pokinawa: Wubi is *not* a good solution to this problem. [20:29] Hello I just installed Ubuntu on my ASUS N56VZ but it doesn't start, Windows 7 always start it's something with UEFI could anyone help me? [20:29] Sire: you can log in there and have a look at the system [20:29] Pokinawa: Could you pastebin the exact fixparts command you ran and the complete output? [20:30] Jordan_U: one sec.. doing it now [20:30] guntbert: how so? [20:30] Jordan_U: I did fixparts /dev/sda [20:31] Sire: because you already have a running linux system during install [20:31] Galvatron: yeh. well Linus said it some days ago. nvidia is one of the worst company to work with [20:31] companies* [20:31] Morsnowski, Hi again! nothing came up? Says no command. [20:31] jackiechan0: Have a look here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/91484/how-to-boot-ubuntu-from-efi-uefi [20:31] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/GCfVJ47V [20:31] i hate there graphics cards [20:31] guntbert: more of how do I work with this? [20:31] what did you type? [20:31] i7c: This time it's the Linux dudes, not NV, who makes problems (ideological). [20:31] Morsnowski, I typed isusb or Isusb. [20:32] Northing in front of it either just that command. [20:32] But not Linus himself (he's fine with anything that works) [20:32] Sire: I thought you wanted to know if your install is stalled or not. This is how you can find out [20:32] And improves Linux [20:32] why doesn't it let me to enter gnome shell on Lubuntu 11.10? [20:32] hmm it has to be "lsusb" linux is case sensitive [20:32] <_riz_> can anyone give me a hand finishing out my preseed file so the last few questions stop getting asked? [20:32] guntbert: yes, but I have no clue how to check that. [20:33] this is a lower case L [20:33] Galvatron: anybody always has a problem :-/ [20:33] There are some libboost*.deb files in the currenty directory. When I use the following command, dpkg accesses them ... why? dpkg -l libboost* | grep ii | awk '{print $2}' [20:33] sslserver irc.freenode.net [20:33] Morsnowski, Okay so, I should type the command as "Isusb" Without the brackets or with them? [20:34] oh well Ironhide isn't installable on Precise... is there a solution for this? it depends on virtualgl which has no installation candidate [20:34] just simply lsusb and will give you a list (ls) of usb devices (usb) => (lsusb) [20:34] morsnowski: It is not an I...it is an l as in lemon [20:34] Sire: type top - that might give you an overview of the running processes and the system load - just to determine what is going on [20:34] Pokinawa: sudo fixparts /dev/sda [20:35] ki4ro, yes that I already told him [20:35] her ? [20:35] guntbert: -/bin/sh: top: not found [20:35] im trying to install a package called 'liquidsoap' on 11.04 xubuntu.. i get no errors on installation, but the program seems to be having a hard time with finding liquidsoup-plugin* packages that i've installed.. i've found no solutions (except for compiling from source- and that is proving to be a daunting task...) any ideas? [20:35] How can I grep from the left side only? like "libboost*" [20:35] hi, ive just changed /etc/default/keyboard to set my keyboard layout to gb, ive rebooted, but i still have the american keyboard layout, have a missed something? [20:35] Morsnowski, Thanks, I'll be back with the information about the usb. [20:35] xreal: grep ^libboost [20:35] zykotick9: thanks [20:36] zykotick9: doesn't work here: dpkg --list | grep ^libboost | grep ii | awk '{print $2}' [20:36] Sire: does free give anything but an error? in the meantime take another round through your VTs [20:36] zykotick9: uh, my fault... [20:36] how do I access the grub shell from the ubuntu livecd?, i need to get there befoore booting the os [20:36] i read that my runlevel is set at book from a file /etc/events.d/, but I can't find it in 12.04 [20:37] Is this the recommended software to join Ubuntu to a domain? I have Likewise Open, but if this is the recommended I'll use it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto [20:37] zykotick9: this works: dpkg --list | grep ii | awk '{print $2}' | grep ^libboost [20:37] guntbert: `free` works just fine and the only thing that's happened to the status output is it's reporting me exiting and restarting the virtual terminal. [20:37] xreal: nice [20:37] tomodachi: The Ubuntu LiveCD uses syslinux, not grub. To get to the Syslinux menu press any key within the first 5 seconds (when you see the "keyboard = accessibility" graphic). === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [20:39] 7/n [20:40] Jordan_U: aah thnx that explains , it [20:40] tomodachi: You're welcome. [20:40] i installed gnome-shell on Lubuntu 11.10 but it doesn't want to start it. why? [20:40] Pokinawa: Did you see my last message? [20:41] how in terminal can i set a HD back to the backup file system its been going haywire [20:41] its a portable wd drive [20:42] Morsnowski: Hi! [20:42] Sire: free was the wrong tool anyway :) type ps aux --sort=%cpu to see what processes are running [20:42] how do I disable ppa repositories? I don't find them to comment on sources.list [20:43] m1chael: As a general piece of advice: I would consider switching to Xubuntu 12.04. While Unity + Compiz might not be stable enought yet (the whole technology id still quite young, with Compiz 0.9.x possibly still in the alpha stage), the rest should be perfectly fine. [20:43] guntbert: well, I was just looking into `ps`, but I have to do something else. I'll be back around to work on this later. [20:43] !ppa-purge | iLogical [20:43] iLogical: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [20:43] iLogical: look in /etc/sources.d [20:43] Sire: no problem :) [20:43] why on ubuntu download page it says 32bit recommended ? [20:43] Morsnowski: I've Typed in the command and found the exact information that you're looking for. [20:44] guntbert, there is no /etc/sources.d [20:44] Shano56: 32bit supports more hardware... someone that doesn't know what 64bit is, should be downloading 32bit [20:44] ahh [20:44] okay [20:45] I was just making sure there was no problems or anything with 64bit [20:45] Shano56: Also, 64-bit won't make much difference unless you know how to unleash it. [20:45] iLogical: /etc/apt/sources.list.d [20:45] i think 64bit would work well with a 64bit CPU? [20:45] :p [20:45] Galvatron, Taste the beast! MINOTAUR! [20:45] iLogical: sorry it is /etc/apt/sources.list.d [20:46] it says it's a directory [20:46] Shano56: In theory it should give a huge boost, but in the practice it depends on what are you doing. [20:46] hey nitro i sent a dialouge box to tell u what it was doing [20:47] Galvatron, transfering files, and perhaps compiling some lightweight programs ? [20:47] Morsnowski, Hi, found the information you're looking for. [20:47] iLogical: yes, and a directory contains files ... :) [20:47] how can i get MSDOS magic off the HD?? [20:47] i know with make -j on my compiler (enables second core), compile is much faster [20:47] Shano56: If I were you, I would just install both versions side by side and compare. [20:47] this is on windows 7 64, thinking about trying ubuntu [20:48] fuzzynurfhurter, do you have a windows partition? [20:48] i havent had best of luck dual booting :p [20:48] Shano56: Even Ubuntu 32-bit will be much fater than Windows 7. [20:48] Hello ! I have this odd problem with ip v6 ips over PPPoE. I added in /etc/ppp/options +ipv6 ipv6cp-use-ipaddr and my connection got the ipv6 general use IP's. But, it seemed I couldn't access any ipv6 resource. Then, I changed NetworkManager's settings to manage my connections again and now I can't get the ipv6 ip's back. How can I use ipv6 on ubuntu ? [20:48] Plop [20:48] Galvatron, i tried kubuntu 64 bit, and it seemed to run not as fast as windows, you think ubuntu will be better? [20:49] btw i optimize my windows 7 installation and remove most of the crap on it :p [20:49] and disable most of the "visuals" [20:49] Shano56: What machine do you have? [20:49] Shano56: please keep to talking about ubuntu support problems [20:50] this is ubuntu support problem :[p [20:50] :p * [20:50] toshiba c655d [20:50] amd v series cpu i think [20:50] hello [20:50] http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/C650/C655D-S5041 [20:51] Morsnowski: Hi, I've typed in the command that you asked about. [20:51] i cant mount an nfs share that should work from within an initramfs shell. any suggestions on how to troubleshoot? [20:51] it's timing out [20:52] Shano56: Kubuntu's lower performance might have something to do with the infamous "support" of Radeons under Linux (X.org). [20:52] guntbert, jrib thanks, it worked [20:52] Shano56: Basically, it often sucks [20:53] Shano56: And is a russian roulette in general. [20:53] !yay | iLogical [20:53] iLogical: Glad you made it! :-) [20:53] Plop [20:53] hdmi somebody who happens to know something about how to set up an hdmi connection to my tv? it works fine when i start my tv first, but whenever i start my pc first, the screen is messed up [20:53] Ilmen: Do you have an ubuntu support question? [20:54] Galvatron, Most of the issues with the binary Radeon drivers have been sorted lately. At least with more recent cards. [20:54] Galvatron, Hi I found the information you where looking for, about the lsusb? [20:54] i see Galvatron [20:54] do you think ubuntu would be better? [20:54] Pokinawa: Did you see my last message? [20:55] Guest1232: Paste it to http://pasteping.com [20:55] Jordan_U: sending you a PM.. I am on windows again... and ICEIrc has a messy main window [20:55] has anyone here tried ubermix 1.0.X on an atom n2800 or n2600 based netbook? [20:55] Galvatron: That link can't be found when I clicked on it. [20:56] Guest1232: http://pastebin.com [20:57] hellboy [20:57] Galvatron, Then what does that do? after. [20:57] asus1025c: Just DON'T try any strange remixes [20:58] How would one install fglrx drivers? [20:58] nitrohax u think i could use the bootable partition wizard to try and fix the problem?? [20:59] tvdaemo [20:59] Somebody who happens to know something about how to set up an hdmi connection to a tv on ubuntu? it works fine when i start my tv first, but whenever i start my pc first, the screen is messed up. I have an HTPC which runs XBMC. When i start xbmc, it automatically powers on my tv. XBMC is in my startup scripts, wxhich means that all i would have to do, is pressing the power button on my htpc for everything to start (love the lazyness!) [20:59] Guest1232: Use the "lsusb" command in the console, and paste whatever it returnes to the pastebin [20:59] should work, but becareful of the mbr and working OS partitions [21:00] Galvatron, So after posting the "lsusb" Command into terminal and posting the Information on PasteBin, Then What? Will Someone give me another code to add? [21:01] Just give the link to the paste. [21:01] Galvatron, I'll give you the link. [21:03] asus1025c:: They often do some strange changes, causing untypical problems. Other than (K/X/L/Edu-/ Studio) Ubunntu you might try Mint, since they only add some visual themes and a few programs, not changing anything vital - the "Mint" addons set can even be easily added to an existing installation. [21:03] hi, i dont quite get it. i installed bumblebee and nvidia-current is also installed. but the ubuntu "additional drivers" tells that there is no proprietary driver activated? [21:03] i followed these instructions https://launchpad.net/~bumblebee/+archive/stable [21:03] How would one install fglrx drivers? [21:04] http://pastebin.com/zdEJuA4t, Can Someone help with this. [21:04] i7c: Just forget this graphical installation helper [21:05] jeremiah: There are hundreds of instructions in Google [21:05] Galvatron: ok :) [21:05] Galvatron, i couldn't find one without getting errors in the first steps [21:07] jeremiah: sudo apt-get install fglrx? [21:07] Galvatron: awesome, it works :) thx again!! [21:07] I removed 37.88gb from my ubuntu partition and am attempting to add it back to my Windows one, but Windows will only let me lower the size of it not make it larger? [21:08] Galvatron, thanks, looks like it worked... anyway to test to make sure there are no errors with it? [21:08] There's only about 6gb free on my Windows one, it wouldn't even let me touch it until after a dskchk and long defrag session [21:08] http://pastebin.com/zdEJuA4t, Anybody. [21:09] jeremiah: Pastebin (http:pastebin.com) the contents of xorg.conf === pangolin is now known as Guest90382 [21:10] Galvatron, i dont think i need paste bin for this... xorg.conf: command not found [21:10] Guest1232: So the system at least can see it [21:10] eremiah: nano xorg.conf [21:10] jeremiah@jeremiah-HP-Compaq-6910p-00000000:~$ xorg.conf [21:10] xorg.conf: command not found === Guest90382 is now known as IdleOne [21:11] nitrohax: check pm! :) [21:11] jeremiah: You must opn it with a text editor (nano, gedit, kate etc.). [21:12] Galvatron, so open up a text editor, then what? [21:12] Jordan_U: Can u send me the link to fixparts again? its not installed again as I rebooted... [21:12] jeremiah: Yeah [21:13] Hello [21:13] With ubuntu one, can i directly push my content to the cloud instead of syncing it locally and then syncing it online? in case my harddisk size if full but I still need to add content to UO [21:13] man that sucks pok [21:13] Galvatron, but the what? [21:13] Pokinawa: From the LiveCD, to instll fixparts, either use Software Center and install "gdisk", or from the terminal run "sudo software-properties-gtk -e universe; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gdisk".

[21:27] I Tried. [21:27] i have nvidia [21:28] i have no clue [21:28] use google [21:28] konradb: install nvidia proprietary drive and use twinview [21:29] oozbooz: yes, but there is resolution problem [21:29] konradb: should work on most nvidia cards [21:29] oozbooz: i cant set 1920x1080 with 1280x1024 [21:29] konradb: you want to force 1920x monitor to 1280 reso? [21:30] meh [21:30] another thing i hate with some of the linux they wont load up if theres an internal gfx card install [21:30] Jeremiah: Check this out i'm not sure whether this will help you though for the command.http://xchat.org/scripts_old.html [21:30] i love linux [21:31] oozbooz: take a look: http://i.imgur.com/sugaa.png [21:31] AceFace: No you don't lol.

How can you change the Ubuntu software update check frequency? [21:32] konradb: then you have to manually edit xorg.conf section for monitor [21:32] I want to check for updates more frequently--every hour. [21:32] i have 2 servers running windows [21:33] Yay. [21:33] Fuzzy [21:33] started my computer today and the wireless is 'gone'. I can't view the the network lists and when I go into all settings-> network the wireless item isn't available in the menu. what's going on?

Have you toggled wireless off via the keyboard? === Htbrdd is now known as zz_Htbrdd [21:36] mrgt, i had the same prob as you. all i had to do was press the wireless enable button on my lappy [21:37] mcphail, I don't think the keyboard has that option. How would I check the bios?(I'm on a desktop) === Guest45180 is now known as SushiDude [21:37] mrgt, reboot computer [21:37] and enter bios [21:37] mrgt: reboot and press the key which gets into the bios settings (perhaps del or F12).

[21:38] i had something like that jeremiah too but found something that made wicd turn on so it would wind the wireless card lol [21:38] konradb: I think there should be a monitor section with list of enabled resolutions... btw, are you sure 1360x768 supports 1280x1024? [21:39] realy anoying when it happened... [21:39] yeah it is lol [21:39] always having to use lan/ethernet... [21:39] oozbooz: i am sure that, this monitor support 1280x1024 [21:39] i installed a different linux later and it workd fine lol [21:40] mine would only show the etho but no wireless lol [21:40] oozbooz: http://pastebin.com/38HsjLPu full Xorg, there isn't monitor section with resolution option :\ [21:41] konradb: odd. 'cause vert/horiz ratios are different [21:41] anyone know why minecraft keeps crashing? i have updated the lwjgl...

[21:42] mcphail, I couldn't see it there. To be honest I'd never checked before. I don't get why it's suddenly stopped working! Grr... [21:42] fuzzynurfhurter, click on the time and date, then settings. [21:42] mrgt: is it a pci card or usb? [21:42] all it says is clock format %R [21:42] fuzzynurfhurter, then clock [21:42] im in that [21:43] digital clock settings [21:43] choose 12 hour [21:43] and not 24 hour [21:43] that option is not there [21:43] mcphail, pci.

[21:46] mcphail, there seems to be a lot of stuff. is there any way I can filter it to show what I might be looking for? [21:47] oozbooz: i know, restarted ↑↑↑ [21:47] fuzzynurfhurter, not that, i.e. 12.04, 11.10, 11.04 etc [21:47] mrgt: try dmesg | grep -i lan [21:48] jeremiah i dont know the command to show that [21:48] persise, so on... [21:48] Does anyone know how to help me with that? [21:48] konradb: looks like monitor does not like the resolution ... what resolutions are listed in nvidia-settings for this CRT-0? [21:48] log out, and in your bottom left corner, should be there... [21:48] mcphail, get nothing from that. [21:48] Jordan_U: Another quick question... Addition drivers windows shows AMD GFX driver... but when I try to enable it... It reports "Sorry installation of this driver failed" [21:48] ok brb [21:48] Jordan_U: ever seen this before? [21:48] mrgt: dmesg | grep -i network [21:49] oozbooz: Was that for me? [21:49] oozbooz: but, when I take off the 1920x1080 monitor, it works... [21:49] mcphail, I get a couple of errors from that. let me paste it for you [21:50] PatrickStar, no it was for konradb [21:50] jeremiah it shows the right time in that screen but nothing what ur talking about lol [21:50] Okay. [21:50] Is there another Ubuntu channel that could help me? [21:51] fuzzynurfhurter, hurm. i take it as ubuntu 12.04 ? [21:51] it has to be something with that %R must be some other thing [21:51] mcphail, that is if it wasn't on the computer that had no Internet access! it mentions somthing about apparmor_parser [21:51] PatrickStar, #ubuntu+1 but it is for ubuntu 12.10 [21:51] i updated it the other night and installed lubuntu desktop session lol [21:51] oozbooz: i think, Ubuntu takes those 2 monitors, like 1 big.. So 2 another, height resolutions aren't supported... [21:51] yeah it should be [21:51] fuzzynurfhurter, so, ubuntu, or lubuntu? [21:52] "Unhandled error from system_setup_console: Permission denied" -- what have I done? [21:52] danfo: you need to use 'sudo' [21:52] konradb: this card should have no issues supporting both [21:53] lol i installed it as xubuntu then upgraded that then got the lubutu desktop manager and it changes the greater screen and stuff lol [21:53] oozbooz: on Windows, all works... [21:53] danfo u r not root [21:53] konradb: that errors in the core dump of my server not booting [21:53] fuzzynurfhurter, so, lubuntu, ubuntu or xubuntu???

Does that mean anything? Or is it still likely to be 'dead' :( [22:16] mrgt what network manager r u using?? [22:16] mrgt: run update-pciids, then pastebin output of lspci [22:16] hi [22:16] can anyone tell me why i cant install gdebi-core (no such package) when i've booted from the ubuntu livecd?

I'm not actually sure what you call that? [22:18] rob_: should show up when you install ubuntu on something, and not use just the livecd [22:18] fuzzynurfhurter: lol [22:18] beandog: im using the livecd for testing so need to enable them really.. [22:18] beandog, there was no output from that. [22:19] rob_: oh, dunno then [22:19] to tell u the truth mrgt i dont know which 1 i got either lol [22:19] mrgt: output of lspci will have something [22:19] Hello, can anyone help me out. If I set a server to connect pptp, will I still be able to access it through it's static IP? [22:19] MRGT you could try a re-install but seen this issue many times and its normally the wireless card .. [22:19] Ady: I was having a similar issue this week ... wifi card is definitely in there, but doesn't list anywhere [22:19] ive installed a differnt linux os and it made it work right [22:20] beandog, sorry, wrong command. The wireless card is listed. [22:20] mrgt: k, pastebin it for me [22:20] fuzzynurfhurter, lol [22:20] mine was in fedora 16 though [22:21] is there a commandline method of going to the user login screen without logging off? [22:21] xubuntu found it and works good [22:21] mgrt i have something that might help but u will have to get wicd [22:21] malkauns: are you trying to lock your screen or something? [22:21] malkauns: or switch users? [22:21] beandog, switch users [22:22] malkauns: ah, I thought that was a menu option [22:22] next to logout and all that [22:22] beandog, yea i'm looking for a commandline to do that [22:22] malkauns: oh, gotcha. sorry, dunno. -_- [22:22] somebody stole my mouse [22:22] For a headless server, should I install anything other than the OpenSSH server and Samba file server options in 12.04? [22:22] malkauns: ...why? [22:23] Sire: nah you should be good [22:23] Does anyone know how to reset monitor configuration? [22:23] mcphail, just like that screen rather than the default lock screen [22:23] Sire: I'd install webmin if you wanna admin it remotely [22:23] PatrickMello: remove xorg.conf? define "reset" :) [22:23] malkauns: but why do you need to do it from the command line? [22:24] mcphail, so i can make a short key for it [22:24] beandog: mk, I'll look into that. [22:24] malkauns: i think there is a short key already... [22:24] malkauns: how advanced of a user are you? no offense :) [22:24] Sire: kk, have fun. It's super simple to setup [22:24] Alumin, what is it? [22:24] was gonna suggest using something like d-feet to look through your d-bus options [22:24] malkauns: oh, that's a cool idea. [22:24] Alumin: My desktop resolution is messed up. [22:24] hello guys, is ther any software in ubuntu, similar to translate-me? [22:25] When I try to change it via GUI, it completely glitches up. [22:25] PatrickStar: ah. Hmmm, well I suppose you could edit xorg.conf by hand but that's kinda ewww [22:25] malkauns: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12182/gnome-logout-from-command [22:26] beandog, i dont want to log out tho [22:26] I don't have fusa, so no idea what that does [22:26] did you read the page? :) [22:26] mrgt?? [22:26] Alumin: No easy way? [22:26] PatrickStar: silly question, but are you sure you're changing to a resolution/refresh rate that your hardware supports? [22:26] fuzzynurfhurter: I think his network went down, heh [22:26] Alumin: I don't know. [22:27] I have an integrated video card. [22:27] beandog, where can i get fusa? [22:27] Probably part of the problem. [22:27] PatrickStar: are you comfortable with the command line? [22:27] malkauns: beats me, never heard of it [22:27] Alumin: Yus! [22:27] PM me, too much distraction [22:27] you can try running "X -configure", it'll spit out a config file [22:28] dam that suck i have a pdf of how to fix his prob lol [22:29] /bar scroll nicklist * +100% [22:29] fuzzynurfhurter: yah, can I see? [22:29] I might need it [22:30] sorry i was trying weechat [22:31] i messaged u been [22:31] bean [22:31] u have to do it in the terminal [22:32] Trying to run Ubuntu 12 on my Macbook Air Late '10. Got everything installed except when I boot into Ubuntu it hangs at, ""drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 for 000:00:02.0 on minor 0" Any suggestions? [22:33] dam brb i think the dog stole my mouse [22:35] trued0x did you try this way - http://www.tuaw.com/2009/09/07/how-to-set-up-ubuntu-linux-on-a-mac-its-easy-and-free/ [22:36] i guess she didnt but know the freaking keyboard wont work lol [22:36] trued0x, Have you tried Alt+F2 after it hangs? I found this: Look at post #9 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=74728 [22:36] http://www.tuaw.com/2009/09/07/how-to-set-up-ubuntu │ AdvoWork │∫ Desktop [22:37] i found it somebody hid it [22:38] Hello. Anyone know of a wireless signal strength logger (monitor) not just a one time snapshot of all ssids with their stats? I want to be able to record somehow the strength changes of the ssids around. Thanks [22:39] anAngel: wellenreiter, kismet [22:39] Alumin: thanks i will look at them now [22:40] hello. [22:40] anAngel: try kismet first [22:41] ColonelPanic: Thanks let me check. [22:41] Alumin: ok [22:43] is there a good macro tool for mouse/keyboard thats better than xmacro? [22:45] hi [22:45] how can u change the password its a live boot i dont know what the passwrd 4 it is and never set it up === Corey_ is now known as Corey [22:45] passwd [22:46] I want to format and re-install ubuntu (unity is corrupt), but i can't seem to be able to boot from the flash drive (it's bootable). is there a command i can use from the terminal to boot from the flash drive? [22:46] ok hell yeah thx lol im using an orph cracking live boot cd lol [22:46] ColonelPanic: So what I did is boot w/ LiveCD and mount my Ubuntu partition. Then I looked for /boot/grub/menu.lst but I don't have that menu.lst file [22:47] exit [22:47] exit [22:47] Ashael, that's all tied to your bios, and not to Ubuntu. [22:47] if i run firefox as user a, i can access a site with an invalid certificate. as user b i cannot. the warning dialogue misses the "i understand the risk" part :/ how to fix? [22:47] trued0x, Try /boot/grub/grub.cfg [22:47] nope [22:47] only two files are gfxblacklist.txt and grubenv [22:47] trued0x, Really? [22:47] phibxr: except i didn't touch the bios, and I can't access it either, I think ubuntu is preventing it somehow. besides, it's set to boot from the usb drive first. [22:48] glad to know its as easy as changing the root too lol [22:48] trued0x, "ls /boot/grub" [22:48] Ashael: on boot, the BIOS screen might say there's an option to select boot menu. See if that's there [22:48] Ashael, ubuntu can't prevent your bios, it loads before anything else on your computer. [22:49] Ashael, nothing can prevent your bios except for a bios virus. [22:49] waht does alt+f2 do? [22:49] trued0x: gives you a box to run commands in [22:49] trued0x, Alt+F2 takes you into command-line login from the graphical environment. [22:49] that's the problem i cant even get to that part [22:49] hmm. [22:50] trued0x, Wait, Are you on the usb drive right now? [22:50] sda1 = usb drive sda5 shoudl be the ubuntu partition [22:50] ive mounted sda1 - sda5 [22:50] sda1 = already mounted when i try [22:50] the rest is swap and my mac os x partition [22:51] trued0x: if sda1 is on usb then sda5 will be on usb as well [22:51] ColonelPanic: no, thats ctl alt f2 [22:51] :) [22:51] beandog, :P [22:51] big difference [22:51] trued0x, Where is sda5 mounted to? === sk8- is now known as sk8| [22:51] ~/Desktop/disk === VirtualBlackness is now known as L3top [22:52] let me ask this, how can i make sure sda5 is indeed my installed ubuntu partition? :) [22:53] trued0x: sudo fdisk -l [22:54] trued0x, Go into disk utility and check. [22:54] okay give me a sec [22:54] what does $mft has invalid magic?? mean [22:55] "invalid magic" sounds like some kind of file type detection failed [22:55] just a guess though [22:56] or kernel doesn't support that binary type [22:57] ok i was kinda thinking that but wasnt sure it is always talking about the filesystem === zz_Htbrdd is now known as Htbrdd [22:57] i just formated it to ntfs and it says that tried ext3 and got an error too [22:57] could be that [22:58] trued0x: if sda1 is on usb then sda5 will be on usb as well. All /dev/sda* devices will be on the same physical disk [22:58] bye [22:59] hi [22:59] illegal triply indirect block found while setting bad block mode [23:00] thats what i got doing it to ext 3 [23:00] #R [23:00] question, is it possible for ubuntu unity to use multitouch trackpad gestures to trigger scale / expo [23:00] fuzzynurfhurter: what the crap are you doing over there?! :) [23:01] okay so /dev/sda5 is the installed ubuntu partition [23:01] fuzzynurfhurter: what produces the magic error? doing WHAT "to" ext3? [23:01] trying to get this HD back to working right man [23:01] and for the record, it is scruffy looking nerf herder. [23:01] formating the HD to ext 3 [23:02] i like mine [23:02] that is what gparted gave as an error [23:02] So you have bad blocks on the drive fuzzynurfhurter? === kubuntu is now known as Guest45405 [23:02] trued0x, Then go to where it is mounted (~/Desktop/Disk) and edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg [23:02] How do you interrupt the boot process to run repair instead of the normal boot? [23:02] There is no grub.cfg though :\ [23:03] trued0x, There is no grub.cfg on your ubuntu partition/ [23:03] That's correct [23:03] fuzzynurfhurter: I would not use this drive for anything other than making a neat LED clock. [23:03] something of that nature [23:03] trued0x, Then you might want to look in to re-installing. [23:03] sudo mount /dev/sda5 ~/Desktop/disk [23:03] i know its still good just have to set it right [23:04] hi, q1 can the trackpad in a pc laptop such as sony vaio s series detect 3 finger gestures, [q2] can any linux window managers or effects use these for triggering. example being 3 or 4 finger drag for desktop switching or window movement as on Mac OSX [23:05] How do you interrupt the boot process to run repair instead of the normal boot? [23:05] No, it is not "good", it basically has AIDS... and it is going to spread. As the medium continues to degrade fuzzynurfhurter. This is not an Ubuntu support issue. You have bad HW. [23:05] i hav ea load.cfg [23:06] i will get the gparted details [23:07] The gparted details will not make it an Ubuntu support issue. You have bad HW. [23:07] what is HW [23:07] Hardware. [23:08] i had it workin earlier [23:08] as an ext 3 [23:08] How do you interrupt the boot process to run repair instead of the normal boot? [23:08] ColonelPanic: I'm going to try this http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/ [23:09] Because it can intermittently work does not mean that it does work. You have a physical hardware problem, that will only get worse. I am not trying to be rude, but explain the reality of the situation to you. [23:10] yeah cause theres no id on it [23:10] You need to buy a new hard drive fuzzynurfhurter. [23:10] Guest45405: isn't it a grub option? [23:10] trued0x, Go for it. Gl [23:10] in the bootloader [23:10] beandog, It is, But when it boots it just skips grub and boots the OS, I need to know how to get to grub [23:11] Guest45405: oh, well you could just do what I do .... mash on the up key so grub knows you're giving keyboard input. [23:11] Guest45405: that way, it won't automatically boot into default [23:11] thats what im saying guest mine does that and never shows the grub screen [23:11] beandog, That's what I do! [23:11] beandog, Alright thanks, I'll try that :D [23:11] ColonelPanic: heh :D [23:11] the simplest solutions are always the best [23:12] Guest45405: What *might* be happening, is the monitor isn't init'ing fast enough, so grub is coming up, but you can't see it. [23:12] no need to get a new 1 [23:12] Guest45405: beandog: ColonelPanic: To unhide the grub menu at boot hold (don't "mash") shift. [23:12] Guest45405: so if you tell it you wanna select something, it could just take a second for the monitor to catch up is all [23:12] beandog: Except when they're wrong :) [23:12] Jordan_U: oh yah? right on [23:12] i can see the _blinking when mine starts up then a black screen [23:12] well I do the same thing on extlinux [23:13] beandog, Nah, my moniter is pretty fast, I've never had that problem before, really [23:13] Jordan_U, But button mashing is fun [23:13] mine only happens on this laptop [23:13] Guest45405: huh. Well when the screen is blank, you're just guessing anyway :) [23:13] ColonelPanic: True. [23:15] Ok, nvm grub, Hooray for logs. I'm appearantly getting this error at boot, Anyone know a fix? Could not open output pipe '/dev/xconsole' [23:15] whut [23:15] how did you get that? [23:15] ColonelPanic: Is there anyway to tell if it's actually running that grub config during startup? [23:15] syslog [23:16] trued0x, If you are presented with a menu to choose between differerent OS's that says "Grub Version X.xxx" then you are. In ubuntu the screen is default to purple. [23:17] trued0x, It's default to purple for the desktop version at least. [23:17] i have to get my test boxc up and running to mess with that HD more [23:17] mines black [23:17] black and white [23:18] fuzzynurfhurter, By chance is it a server distro? [23:18] Alright, I'm going to do Generic: xforcevesa and if that fails im giving up [23:19] no i had a live cd of xubuntu [23:19] well usb [23:20] How do I make a blank file from the terminal? [23:20] i used partition magic on that HD [23:20] trued0x, Have you looked at this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/134342/which-iso-image-do-i-need-to-install-ubuntu-12-04-on-a-macbook-pro-so-that-it-bo [23:20] Guest45405: touch [23:20] Guest45405: with touch [23:20] thanks [23:21] still aint found out how to change the time from millitary to regular lol [23:22] mousewheel tab scrolling in gedit/gnome3? has anybody scratched my itch in the last couple of hours?

[23:42] szal, sarcasm.... [23:42] So my kernel updated from 3.4 to 3.5, and if the 3.5 one tries to boot, it can't start the xserver, however my 3.4 can boot perfectly fine. Anyone know why this might be happening? [23:43] jgrep: yah, agreed. no idea. [23:43] Vespuccian: yes .. stop using windows and u will get used to linix [23:43] ok thanks beandog [23:43] Vespuccian, download a distro burn the iso file and run a live cd or create a partition [23:43] Vespuccian: honestly? it just takes time. [23:43] sk8|, maybe I should use a seperate HDD for installation. [23:44] Vespuccian, you can if youd like [23:44] beandog, sure. [23:44] Vespuccian: yah, do that. dual booting is good [23:44] secondly, I'm running irssi, how do you ignore joins, parts, and quits [23:44] it doesn't take much time to get use to any of the new distros [23:44] jgrep, have you heard ESR? [23:44] sk8|, but, [23:45] sk8|, but, afaik, getting use to Linux takes time compared to getting use to..... [23:45] not much any more [23:45] Vespuccian: nope whats it [23:45] if you use arch, bsd [23:45] Vespuccian: but its awesome to be on linux.. [23:45] then you'll have alot to get USE to [23:45] jgrep, no doubt. [23:46] Redhat is now a 1 billion dollar company. [23:46] whts ESR [23:46] suse or gentoo if you want to test your patience [23:46] So my kernel updated from 3.4 to 3.5, and if the 3.5 one tries to boot, it can't start the xserver, however my 3.4 can boot perfectly fine.
