| morgium | alright, sorry. with gdm server starts on console 8, with lightdm it fails to load (Fatal IO error 11), i can login via console and then startxfce4 manually and it works. but this is not satisfactory. what can i try? i googled but i only find bug reports not related to my problem | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| osmario | sorry i must send the script to this site? | 00:00 |
| morgium | http://pastebin.com/4tZPk8th | 00:01 |
| Jordan_U | bruenig: Could you explain why you say that ekrjnfedfkj is a spambot? (in #ubuntu-ops) | 00:01 |
| morgium | osmario, just go there, its pretty self-explanatory. you can paste text there for others to see it (look at my link, its my .xsession-errors) | 00:01 |
| nibbler_ | morgium: first i'd try to just use another dm, like lightdm | 00:02 |
| morgium | i am using lightdm | 00:02 |
| nibbler_ | morgium: first i'd try to just use another dm, like gdm | 00:02 |
| ekrjnfedfkj | bruenig, no i'm not | 00:02 |
| === chu_ is now known as chu | ||
| nibbler_ | morgium: so, whatever you use that does not work (first you said you use gdm), try another one. | 00:03 |
| morgium | nibbler_, if you read again what i described you will find i already tried that | 00:04 |
| nibbler_ | morgium: sorry | 00:04 |
| nibbler_ | morgium: so with gdm it start on console 8, where is the problem? | 00:05 |
| SkippersBoss | he wants hismachine to boot gdm automaticaly | 00:05 |
| morgium | preferably lightdm. | 00:06 |
| nibbler_ | and console 8 is not shown automatically? | 00:06 |
| aaas | i have a question about developing a website locally and syncing to the host with rsync...any idea of a channel which would discuss webmaster related issues like this? | 00:06 |
| nibbler_ | aaas, so - why not just rsync it, and get your options from man rsync? | 00:06 |
| aaas | nibbler_ it's not the options or the how, it's the logistics | 00:06 |
| SkippersBoss | morgium, i would purge lightdm, make sure no config files are left and install again | 00:08 |
| morgium | SkippersBoss: i did that already | 00:08 |
| morgium | im pretty sure the problem comes from my deinstalling ubuntu-desktop, installing xubunutu-desktop | 00:09 |
| morgium | the "migration" failed somehow | 00:09 |
| SkippersBoss | ive done the same and it went fine | 00:10 |
| morgium | SkippersBoss: congratulations | 00:10 |
| osmario | how can i call a script? | 00:10 |
| morgium | Osmario: chmod u+x scriptname | 00:10 |
| morgium | ./scriptname | 00:10 |
| morgium | and you can call it whatever you want! :) | 00:11 |
| SkippersBoss | your cleary missing a few libraries when you disassembled ubuntu desktop :-( | 00:12 |
| sdiaz | says I do in the software center | 00:13 |
| sdiaz | mt | 00:13 |
| osmario | if i use ./scriptname it works. but instead if i type chmod +x scriptname or chmod u+x scrptname nothing happens | 00:14 |
| SkippersBoss | morgium: looks like installing xubuntu didnot go according to plan. | 00:15 |
| morgium | SkippersBoss: /nick CaptainObvious | 00:16 |
| fishbait | ... why is adobe stopping linux platform support? | 00:16 |

| trinisoljah | i have question | 00:17 |
| trinisoljah | anyone willing to help ? | 00:17 |

| SkippersBoss | don't worry good luck in restoring | 00:18 |
| trinisoljah | error fore wireless request set encode (8B2A | 00:18 |
| morgium | SkippersBoss: i think it happened because i first installed xubuntu, and then deinstalled ubuntu of course! | 00:19 |
| Sire | What is required to get mpd/mpc to recognize an Audigy eX audio card on Ubuntu Server? | 00:19 |
| trinisoljah | how do i put in a key for a wireless card | 00:19 |
| trinisoljah | ? | 00:19 |
| morgium | xubuntu-desktpo is a metapackage, right? | 00:19 |
| SkippersBoss | yep and it removed halve of your xubuntu setup :-) | 00:19 |
| Sire | I saw that `sudo lshw` finds the audio device, its MIDI, and its Firewire. | 00:20 |
| SkippersBoss | half | 00:20 |
| SkippersBoss | ueh yes | 00:20 |
| fishbait | what would this do? sudo cp -r usr/* /usr | 00:20 |

| Senix | morgium: I do believe that there is a sudo apt-get reinstall option, but other then that they will have to be removed to re-install anyway. | 00:35 |
| Senix | morgium: you could try the synaptic package manager, that may help. | 00:35 |
| fishbait | file exists | 00:35 |
| morgium | Senix: there is, apt-get --reinstall install xubuntu-desktop, but that doesnt reinstall the dependencies recursively | 00:36 |

| gld1982ltd | hi all. is anyone using conkygui on ubuntu 11.10? if so, how did you get it to work? if not, does anyone know of a "skeleton" .conkyrc that has all options printed in the file with commented notes or something? or maybe another app to configure conky other than conky colors? | 00:40 |
| jiohdi | gld1982ltd, you may enjoy gkrellm instead of conky | 00:41 |
| deitarion | How do I pull in the basic dependencies for building 32-bit apps on a 32-bit system? `sudo apt-get install build-essential:i386` fails due to dependency conflicts. | 00:41 |
| yeats | deitarion: install ia32-libs | 00:42 |
| deitarion | yeats: I'm on Precise. | 00:42 |
| yeats | !info ia32-libs | 00:42 |
| ubottu | Package ia32-libs does not exist in precise | 00:42 |
| yeats | ah | 00:42 |
| sk8| | have a good evening | 00:42 |
| sk8| | see you tomorrow | 00:43 |
| deitarion | yeats: On Precise, you generally install the plain old 32-bit packages rather than special pseudo-64bit variants which just pull in ia32-libs. | 00:43 |
| gld1982ltd | jiohdi: it doesn't look like gkrellm can do as much with graphics....am i wrong? | 00:43 |
| yeats | deitarion: okay - I didn't know that | 00:43 |
| deitarion | The problem is that I'm trying to compile Desura/Desurium with support for installing and running 32-bit games and the build process complains about not being able to find 32-bit versions of libgcc and libgcc_s. | 00:44 |
| jiohdi | gld1982ltd, it has many theme options, but what are you looking for | 00:44 |

| jiohdi | gld1982ltd, and checks my mail | 00:46 |
| fishbait | when i fullscreen youtube it doesn't stretch the video it just centers the video and the control bar is at the center of the screen under it | 00:46 |
| mahir | Guys I have 1 western dgital 3 TB and 1 Segate 3 TB Hard Drives both have data and both are formatted by Windows 7and have lots of data, Ubuntu 11.10 is not picking any of them they are connected internally in the system | 00:47 |
| mahir | FYI I am very new to linux | 00:47 |
| === pdtpatrick_ is now known as pdtpatrick | ||
| gld1982ltd | jiohdi: i tried screenlets, but i want to make the widgets myself. i like conky's lightness and it's ability to do pretty much anything. | 00:48 |
| jiohdi | gld1982ltd, yes conky is very flexible, I find theming it makes it a power pig at times | 00:48 |
| deitarion | fishbait: You wouldn't happen to have a multi-monitor desktop, would you? | 00:49 |
| fishbait | dual monitors. | 00:49 |
| deitarion | fishbait: It's a flaw in the YouTube player (Players on sites like Vimeo and Blip.tv are unaffected) where it sizes the player to the aspect ratio of your full desktop and then scales it to only one monitor. | 00:50 |
| gld1982ltd | i'm not looking for old school, just going to try to implement a new system for conky......as far as theming it, i will be using mostly text on screen. i will be using a custom background with each conky setup i create. each background will have all images on it i need to make conky look great. i am just looking for an app that works on 11.10 to help configure these setups a little faster. | 00:50 |
| gld1982ltd | jiohdi: sorry, please read my post above. | 00:50 |
| piero | I use gnome-shell with two monitors. When I open the browser, nautilus or even xchat, the window is sent to the secondary monitor, maximized. Once I restore it, it moves to the main monitor (wtf?). Can I force all new programs to open in the main monitor and just what I move to the secondary stay there? | 00:51 |
| deitarion | fishbait: My favorite simple workaround is to either use YousableTubeFix to resize the player to the full width of your browser window without fullscreening or to combine YousableTubeFix's Download button with something like Firefox's InlineDisposition extension to let the MPlayer browser plugin handle playback. | 00:52 |
| jiohdi | gld1982ltd, pinguyos got it to work on 11.04 and 11.10, might want to check with their forum | 00:52 |
| deitarion | fishbait: Are you on Firefox, Chrome, or Opera? | 00:52 |
| gld1982ltd | jiohdi: thanks i'll look into it. | 00:53 |
| Sire | fishbait: if you want something more convoluted and time-consuming, look into youtube-dl.py so you can download the video directly, then watch it in your local media player. | 00:53 |
| DubstepCraig | Hi | 00:54 |
| deitarion | Sire: YousableTubeFix has a Download button for that. I use InlineDisposition to force the video to be picked up by a browser plugin. | 00:55 |
| DubstepCraig | I have a nooby little problem, I own a minecraft server and I'm using a 1GB VPS, I want to turn some of the disk space into virtual RAM, how can I do this, I tried google first without luck. | 00:55 |
| deitarion | DubstepCraig: The terms you want to Google are "swap partition" and "loopback filesystem" | 00:56 |
| fishbait | opera and its a flaw but html5 works and i don't use youtube that often. | 00:56 |
| aaustin | DubstepCraig, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 00:56 |
| deitarion | fishbait: Install this user script. https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/36453 | 00:57 |
| deitarion | fishbait: I use the Firefox and Chrome versions and both work flawlessly so the Opera one will probably do likewise. Really comfortable way to add "Resize" and "Download" buttons below the YouTube player. | 00:58 |
| DubstepCraig | Is a swap partition basically a partition that is only used for Virtual memory? | 00:58 |
| deitarion | DubstepCraig: Yeah. | 00:59 |
| DubstepCraig | So if a swap partition exists at any size that means I have virtual memory already? | 00:59 |
| mdcook | join #drupal | 00:59 |
| deitarion | DubstepCraig: Yeah. | 00:59 |
| Sire | I just installed mpc and mpd, I have the mpd configuration set up apparently properly and I have my music directory in "~/music". I have two directories, one of m4a and the other of mp3 files, but `mpc update` and `mpc listall` don't seem to do anything. | 01:00 |
| deitarion | DubstepCraig: The Unix/Linux term for virtual memory is "swap space" because it's more honest about how it works and what you can expect. | 01:00 |
| Sire | What should I do? | 01:00 |
| DubstepCraig | deitarion: I was just about to ask that before you told me :) | 01:00 |
| denwz | I have an issue booting from SAN with Ubuntu. I was able to install the OS. Then I rebooted, I was able to see GRUB and select my Kernel. It loads quite a bit and then hange with 1500 mtu DHCP RARP. Any ideas? | 01:00 |
| mdcook | test | 01:01 |
| deitarion | Sire: Sorry. That sounds like the kind of thing I'd normally know, but MPD doesn't play chiptunes so I've never even experimented with it. | 01:01 |
| Chelsea | Has anyone had any luck connecting an Apple alu Wireless to 12.04? | 01:02 |
| DubstepCraig | If I create a swap partition is it added to the same place as my physical memory for example if I only have 24GB physical RAM and I have a JVM that requires 28GB RAM it will automatically take the virtual RAM? | 01:02 |
| mikemonk | hello guys, performance wise, which would represent a better virtualization solution, with windows xp as guest; vmware, virtual box, kvm, other? | 01:03 |
| mdcook | quit | 01:03 |
| fuzzynurfhurter | what does %R mean? | 01:03 |
| deitarion | fuzzynurfhurter: In what context? | 01:03 |
| fuzzynurfhurter | its in the digital clock | 01:03 |
| deitarion | mikemonk: That would probably depend on what you want to do with it. Do you need 3D acceleration? | 01:04 |
| fuzzynurfhurter | clock format | 01:04 |
| deitarion | fuzzynurfhurter: The simplest way to answer questions like that is to open up a terminal and type "man strftime" | 01:04 |
| mikemonk | deitarion: no i don't | 01:04 |
| deitarion | fuzzynurfhurter: (That opens up the manual for the function that resolves those codes) | 01:04 |
| deitarion | mikemonk: Ok. That makes things a little trickier. If you needed 3D, then VMware's implementation would be more mature than VirtualBoxes and I'm not sure if KVM has one at all. | 01:05 |
| mikemonk | deitarion: ok, so for 3D acceleration vmware is the best right? | 01:06 |
| fuzzynurfhurter | deitarion im trying to change it from military time to regular | 01:06 |
| deitarion | mikemonk: Yeah. VMWare's been working on it the longest. | 01:06 |

| mikemonk | deitarion: what about if i don't need it? which one should i go for? | 01:07 |
| reggal | what's a good live CD that supports games and OpenGL? | 01:07 |
| deitarion | fuzzynurfhurter: I use %I:%M or %I:%M:%S for that. | 01:07 |
| aragorn | could somebody please help me... I am editing the repositories using sudoedit.. how do I exit and save? | 01:07 |
| fuzzynurfhurter | ok i will try that man | 01:08 |
| deitarion | reggal: Depends on your video card. It's a lot easier to find LiveCDs if they don't need to include things like the nVidia binary drivers. Also, that'd probably be a better question for ##linux. | 01:08 |
| reggal | In that case, my best question would be: What's the best Live CD for including custom things like nVidia binary drivers | 01:08 |
| aragorn | could somebody please help me... I am editing the repositories using sudoedit.. how do I exit and save? | 01:09 |
| bazhang | reggal, this is ubuntu support only | 01:09 |

| ubottu | reggal: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 01:09 |
| deitarion | reggal: Probably Porteus. Adding packages like binary drivers is as simple as unpacking the ISO into a folder, dragging-and-dropping, and running the script to build a new ISO. | 01:09 |
| lopsided | hey does anyone know how to force 2.0 mode on a 3.0 USB controller? I tried disabling the xhci kernel module but then the controller does not work at all. | 01:10 |
| aragorn | blackshirt: that didn't do anything? | 01:10 |
| deitarion | ...or that works too. Might also be easier for adding games to. | 01:10 |
| aragorn | how can I exit out of a sudoedit session without losing my changes? i.e. save and quit? | 01:10 |
| deitarion | mikemonk: Sorry for getting side-tracked. Let me think. | 01:11 |
| blackshirt | aragorn, or you just using nano? | 01:11 |

| aragorn | im not sure, i am new to linux.. I typed sudoedit /etc/apt/sourecs.list and I edited what I needed to... now how can I save the changes? | 01:12 |
| blackshirt | aragorn, exactly what command you are issued? | 01:12 |
| yeats | aragorn: try ctrl-X | 01:12 |
| lerox | up to | 01:12 |
| aragorn | yeats: will that save it as well? | 01:12 |
| mikemonk | deitarion: haha ok… thanks a lot for your input :) | 01:13 |
| yeats | aragorn: it should prompt you to save changes | 01:13 |
| aragorn | alright I'll give it a whil | 01:13 |
| Nosophorus | hello | 01:13 |
| deitarion | mikemonk: I suspect VMWare would probably be fastest since they have the biggest economic incentive and the best-known name. | 01:13 |
| blackshirt | aragorn, on nano ctrl-x, and then yes for save, just enter | 01:13 |
| lerox | huh | 01:13 |
| aragorn | it wouldn't let me overwrite the file | 01:14 |
| aragorn | it said I didn't have the permissions | 01:14 |
| butch128 | My ubuntu 12.04 install locks up second after boot with my main user, but my alternate user can log in fine with no lock-up... any idea how i can recover my main user? | 01:14 |
| lopsided | aragorn can you do sudo nano filename | 01:14 |
| butch128 | i can ssh into my machine without logging in as well fine | 01:14 |
| mikemonk | deitarion : sounds about right | 01:14 |
| lopsided | if u want to save what you have now writeout to a different file where you have permission then move it with sudo | 01:14 |
| aragorn | will nano access the file or move it? | 01:15 |
| butch128 | it happens if i log in using ubuntu/xfce/kubuntu... | 01:15 |
| blackshirt | aragorn, i think you were in vim editor | 01:15 |
| lopsided | nano is an editor | 01:15 |
| aragorn | ok | 01:15 |
| aragorn | so I can move it and replace it with the sources.list file? | 01:15 |
| echo083 | before making a apt-get dist-upgrade i have to do a apt-get update ? | 01:16 |
| yeats | blackshirt: sudoedit uses nano by default, so that seems unlikely | 01:16 |
| deitarion | butch128: I'm not familiar with Xfce, but I'm pretty sure both Ubuntu and Kubuntu would be trying to use a composited desktop in that situation. Have you tried something like Lubuntu which is incapable of compositing? | 01:16 |
| blackshirt | echo83, you should | 01:16 |

| deitarion | Asar: ubottu is a bot. | 01:21 |
| deitarion | butch128: Hmm. Interesting. Can you clarify what "lock up" means? Does the mouse cursor still move? Can you switch to a console with Ctrl+Alt+F1? Does the whole system lock up or can you still SSH in? | 01:22 |
| butch128 | yes, the mouse cursor competely stops functioning | 01:23 |
| butch128 | and no, i can't switch to a console either | 01:23 |
| Asar | should there be what was suggestion of ubottu within the Authentication field? | 01:23 |
| butch128 | i log in, if i let it sit for 30 seconds, eventually its full lock. if i load up a console, hte console will slowly stop responding, then the mouse will stop. | 01:23 |
| deitarion | butch128: Does SSH still work? (If it does, then your GUI is locking up. If not, then your kernel is locking up.) | 01:24 |
| butch128 | no, ssh doesnt work after the lock-up occurs | 01:24 |
| yeats | Asar: the GPG error should have some clue as to what the key value is | 01:24 |
| butch128 | but it works if i dont log-in to the gui fine | 01:24 |
| deitarion | butch128: Hmm. You said you've tried Xfce, KDE (Kubuntu), and GNOME+Unity (Ubuntu). Have you tried any other desktops? | 01:24 |
| butch128 | i have a non-sudoer account that logs in and never locks up. i gave that account sudoer privileges, now it has the same behaviour | 01:25 |

| butch128 | My hard drive died earlier today, luckily RAID10... and then this starts | 01:25 |
| deitarion | butch128: You mentioned that. What I'm trying to do is narrow down what might be reacting to the presence of sudo privileges. | 01:25 |
| amanATdesk | I was looking for a tutorial (or even advice) on avconv, specifically for batch converting a handful of mp3s to ogg. | 01:25 |

| amanATdesk | I want to set-up a quick and dirty slide show with music for my wife | 01:26 |
| yeats | Asar: no, it will be something like "437D05B5" (like in ubottu's example) | 01:26 |
| deitarion | butch128: Wait. Hard drive failure? RAID isn't a perfect fix. It IS possible that something went wrong in a subtle enough way to corrupt some essential piece of system software. | 01:26 |
| butch128 | that's what i'm worried about - the array is resyncing right now | 01:27 |

| butch128 | clearly... so basically no way of recovering eh? | 01:34 |
| deitarion | Just ask your question. Don't ask to ask. | 01:35 |
| Sire | deitarion, there is an entry for both. | 01:35 |
| psusi | butch128, short of restoring from backup? no... unless the damage is limited to just one file you can live without | 01:35 |
| deitarion | Sire: Yeah. irssi and ircii are different programs. I'm saying that irsii doesn't exist so you must've meant one of those two. | 01:35 |

| deitarion | fuzzynurfhurter: "latencytop" shows you a breakdown of what might be taking too much of your kernel's attention in one go. | 01:48 |
| deitarion | fuzzynurfhurter: No worries. A lot of people have never heard of iotop and latencytop. | 01:49 |

| deitarion | fuzzynurfhurter: Sort of. The task manager tracks CPU and memory load on average. latencytop tracks programs which cause the kernel to, in essence, become distracted, causing your desktop to potentially stutter. | 01:51 |

I removed sda1 physically to test how to recover the array., I plugged it back in, and was able to have my array in sync again. but my second test: I unplugged sad, rebooted, added files on sdb. now both drives are plugged in, the MD2 array say that SDA is removed, but if I try to add it to the array, it say "mdadm: /dev/sda1 reports being an active member for | 01:54 |
| marc_12314 | /dev/md2, but a --re-add fails." | 01:54 |
| fuzzynurfhurter | ok what would be something like msconfig from windows to turn some of the services off | 01:54 |
| deitarion | lopsided: I saw your question the first time, but I have enough USB hubs that I have yet to need to even attempt to plug anything into my USB 3.0 ports. | 01:54 |
| marc_12314 | what am I supposed to do if I want SDA to get back in the array and sync with the new content on SDB ? | 01:54 |
| deitarion | fuzzynurfhurter: Which desktop were you on again? In Lubuntu, it's Preferences > Desktop Session Settings. In other desktops, search for things like "startup", "session", or "services". | 01:55 |
| deitarion | fuzzynurfhurter: You usually don't need to turn off system-wide services (eg. if you've installed a web server, you probably want it running) but, if you do, then that's a different control panel. | 01:56 |
| fuzzynurfhurter | ok i know what ur talking about i have to clean up this linux a little too | 01:56 |
| lopsided | deitarion: what version are you running, I'm on 10.04 | 02:00 |
| deitarion | lopsided: Lubuntu 12.04. I was running Gentoo on this particular box until I switched to Lubuntu 11.04 when the old motherboard died. I do have another machine which has been running Lubuntu since at least 10.04, but I don't remember what it was like. | 02:01 |
| lopsided | I'm trying to figure out if I should get a 3.0 hub, or try to move to 12.04 or both.. All my USBs are fried and I have to use a 3.0 expresscard (1 port) plus 2.0 hub at the moment. BUT my wireless mouse freezes until I move it to a different port on the hub. And I have to keep moving it every time it freezes | 02:01 |
| lopsided | It works when directly connected to the expresscard, albeit with some jumpiness at times. | 02:02 |
| deitarion | lopsided: Are you sure it's not some kind of flaw in the port itself? You did say your other ports are fried. | 02:02 |
| u4ia74 | Hi. I'm using a program (peazip) that lets me specify the "System Temp" directory. Is this a system variable that points a directory or is this something specific to the /tmp directory? | 02:02 |
| lopsided | no this is an express card | 02:02 |
| deitarion | lopsided: Just making sure. I've never fried a USB port myself, so I have no clue what side-effects it may have. | 02:03 |
| lopsided | It works fine in windows. this is a linux issue. I was thinking it was the xhci driver not playing nice with 2.0 hubs | 02:03 |
| lopsided | It happened when I hit my laptop really hard once because of frustration. Long story. But it killed my USBs and my webcam | 02:04 |
| lopsided | Do you use a wireless mouse | 02:04 |
| deitarion | lopsided: No. The only wireless thing I use is my IR remote. I hate changing batteries. | 02:04 |
| lopsided | I have the MX revolution before they discontinued. rechargeable. :-D | 02:05 |
| deitarion | lopsided: I have the G3 gaming mouse. Cheapest quality laser mouse I could find back around 2005/2006 when I bought this PC. | 02:05 |
| JohnTeddy | My flash is crashing periodically/freezing after the last chrome update from Google | 02:06 |
| deitarion | That is, least-expensive high-quality laser mouse. | 02:06 |
| lopsided | do you have any idea how I could research trying to configure the xhci driver? i was having difficulty | 02:06 |
| JohnTeddy | Anyone else have this problem? on the latest ubuntu | 02:06 |
| deitarion | lopsided: You'd probably do the same thing I'd do. When my old mobo died, my new mobo had the same number of USB 2.0 ports PLUS another two USB 3.0 ports, so I've never tried plugging anything into them. | 02:07 |

| fourfourthree | or to anywhere? | 02:18 |
| u4ia74 | deirarion: I actually gives a drop box with three selections, for Working Directory: "Output", "System Temp", "None" So the fact that it doesn't give me an option to specify a temp directory kind of suggests that perhaps it's a system variable that can be specified. Limiting all temp activity to /tmp doesn't sounds terribly logical... but I can mount the /tmp directory on a partition with more space I guess... | 02:18 |
| deitarion | fourfourthree: I'm not sure. I've never needed that. I can look into it but I may be a bit sluggish. If you want to search for it yourself, try using the terms "libnotify", "notification daemon" and "galago". | 02:19 |
| deitarion | u4ia74: Ahh, that makes more sense. Yes, it would be using /tmp. Why not just use "output"? | 02:19 |
| deitarion | u4ia74: (That's what the command-line zip command does. It creates the zip file with a random name and then renames it on success or deletes the partial file on failure) | 02:20 |
| u4ia74 | The program errors out saying it's out of disk space when there is plenty, for some reason... That's where I started. | 02:21 |
| deitarion | u4ia74: Hmm. What are you trying to unpack? Have you tried opening it in another tool to narrow down the possibilities? | 02:22 |
| u4ia74 | I guess the bigger question was about whether or not a system temp directory can be specified by a system variable. | 02:22 |
| u4ia74 | I'm actually trying to use FreeARC to do some compression. | 02:23 |
| u4ia74 | With Peazip as the interface. | 02:23 |

| jfcaron | I am having trouble viewing flash videos (like youtube). I tried using the Adobe flash plugin and now gnash. The only difference is that Adobe gave me a white blank area where the video should be, while gnash gives a black blank area. I'm using 10.04 LTS and Firefox, updated. | 02:26 |
| deitarion | fourfourthree: It's looking like the "network libnotify" situation is the same as it was a couple of years ago. In theory, but not much in practice. You said you wanted to send to a Growl instance? | 02:26 |
| echo083 | i have 8.04 server i'd like to upgrade to 12.04, should i do it with two updates (8.04 => 10.04 => 12.04) or one update (8.04 => 12.04) ? | 02:26 |
| deitarion | jfcaron: What video drivers? | 02:26 |
| xangua | jfcaron: do you have both adobe and gnash plugins installed¿ | 02:26 |
| u4ia74 | Yeah, but I'l actually less interested in peazip and more interested in the question it raised. | 02:26 |
| jfcaron | xangua: No I removed flash entirely before installing gnash. | 02:27 |
| deitarion | u4ia74: About moving the system temp folder? | 02:27 |

| JMarceloBR | Hi folks! Need a little help, please... I'm getting a kernel BUG error that is freezing a ext4 filesystem (in this case a RAID5 device at /dev/md0). I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-41. I was told to test if the bug occurs in kernel version 3.5 (latest upstream). I installed and tried to boot my box from this kernel, but it does not find the root device. My question is: is it possible to | 02:27 |
| JMarceloBR | run this kernel version with the 10.04 LTS? Am I missing something? | 02:27 |
| u4ia74 | deitarion: or specifying a system temp dir using a system variable. | 02:28 |
| echo083 | no opinion ? | 02:28 |
| deitarion | echo083: I'd be very wary of doing that big an upgrade in one jump. I'm pretty sure it's not a supported option. | 02:28 |
| deitarion | u4ia74: You could try setting TMPDIR. The usual recommendation is to play it safe by making /tmp a symlink or `mount -o bind` remap to the new location. | 02:29 |
| echo083 | deitarion, you think that's not even possible to upgrade from 8.04 to 12.04 ok i'll do it in two updates | 02:29 |
| dr_willis | make plans for a clean reinstgall - if the upgradeing fails.. | 02:30 |
| jfcaron | deitarion: I'm using the non-fglrx Radeon driver. | 02:30 |
| u4ia74 | deitarion: Ok thanks. I need to go read up on system variables it seems. | 02:31 |
| deitarion | u4ia74: http://forums.opensuse.org/install-boot-login/407392-move-tmp-other-partition.html | 02:31 |
| deitarion | jfcaron: Hmm. Not something I'm personally familiar with. Give me a sec to make sure I'm not forgetting to respond to someone else and then I'll see what I can suggest. | 02:31 |
| HelloWorld321 | will ubuntu download a video driver on its own if I turn off the box and plug in a new nVidia card? (and the old video was onboard intel video driver) | 02:33 |
| init[dot]d | HelloWorld321, nope | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | HelloWorld321: you need to run the addational-drivers tool | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | may be dialog/popup also when yoou power on the first timeprompting the download also | 02:34 |
| HelloWorld321 | before or after installing the new card? | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | after | 02:35 |
| HelloWorld321 | Groovey. Tx. So I'll just flip it off, plug in the new card, and then follow the prompts when I turn it back on. I dig it. | 02:35 |
| deitarion | HelloWorld321: The drivers without 3D acceleration are included. It should pop up a tray notification offering new 3D-accelerated drivers automatically if they're not included. | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | you might need to use thee nomodeset option untill you get the drivers installed.. depends on the card. | 02:36 |

| Roga_Danar | Colin: Nice workaround. | 02:43 |
| colin__ | thing is.. on mint 9/10 its ok, but 11/12 it used to flicker... something about edid checksum remainder was 17 | 02:43 |

| dr_willis | the alt-click to move - i belive is a feagture of X. so works in any wndow manager. at least i dont recall ever seeing it not work | 03:01 |
| nitrohax | after an update it didn't purge the old kernel. Had grub going crazy | 03:01 |
| dr_willis | i even have a similer addon for alt-click to move.. in windows. ;) | 03:01 |
| colin__ | the only way i can move the terminal is to press on the far right away from the menus | 03:02 |
| OerHeks | gnome-panel ? | 03:02 |
| colin__ | yh | 03:02 |
| dr_willis | could also try fullscreening, then unfullscreening the window | 03:02 |
| colin__ | so u donno how to change this | 03:03 |
| deitarion | dr_willis: It's a feature of the Window Manager. It's just a de facto standard. (You can turn it off or replace it by removing an entry from Openbox's config, for example) | 03:03 |
| dr_willis | i rarely have the isssue. and if it does move off screen that way. i just alt-click and drag it back | 03:03 |
| === hank is now known as hank-[Soup] | ||
| dr_willis | deitarion: i seem to recall once using the alt-click to move, even without a WM. (had a crashed system with no WM running, just X) but its been ages ago since ive lase tried.. and im getting old and senile. ;p | 03:04 |
| blackshroud | and yeah alt+click will move the windows | 03:05 |

| colin__ | cant i just have it appear slightly lower | 03:05 |
| namig | no | 03:05 |
| deitarion | dr_willis: It IS possible it's some kind of X feature, but given how Openbox configures it, I'm pretty sure the WM does some kind of generic "reset all" when taking over if that's the case. | 03:06 |

| Borillion | sorry lol | 03:28 |
| dr_willis | 'NBS' wonder what that means | 03:28 |
| Borillion | that was for Pangolin | 03:28 |
| Borillion | Not sure | 03:28 |
| fisch246 | um... looks like i'm having monitor issues... it works with my crappier monitor, with this cable... | 03:28 |
| CDrone | dr_willis, no man, I burnt nothing | 03:29 |
| CDrone | but man | 03:29 |

| CDrone | I am really impressed | 03:29 |
| violinappren | dr_willis: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NBS | 03:29 |
| Borillion | ahh I see that its also in libc6-dev | 03:29 |
| CDrone | I am actually accustomed to OpenSUSE | 03:29 |
| CDrone | and it is no match with this graphical interface | 03:30 |
| CDrone | :) | 03:30 |
| dr_willis | cant just tell us what it means. :) | 03:30 |
| Borillion | I mean -udeb | 03:30 |
| Borillion | not built from source | 03:31 |
| Borillion | = NBS | 03:31 |
| violinappren | dr_willis: it's more or less deleted because it has been replaced by a new (programatically) incompatible version of the package | 03:32 |
| dr_willis | heh - read that nbs wiki entry.. and still confused.. :) guess the statement 'its been replaced so new stuff needs to be recompiled to use the new version' is semi-acuragte | 03:32 |
| dr_willis | so in this case Maya basically needs to be updated. its still using the old lib. | 03:33 |
| dr_willis | and since maya is not from the ubuntu repos. thats the root of the conflict | 03:34 |
| violinappren | dr_willis: yes, it needs to be recompiled against the new libaudio | 03:34 |

| fuzzynurfhurter | no i mounted the iso and then pulled all the files off it to my workin folder 4 all of the 4 boot right the rest not so much | 04:19 |
| phillip | does anyone know about wicd | 04:20 |
| dr_willis | fuzzynurfhurter: easier to have grub2 boot the iso file. | 04:20 |

| CDrone | i have no root account yet | 04:20 |

| CDrone | how to make one? | 04:20 |
| dr_willis | pendrivelinux site has tools to make multi-iso flash drives also | 04:20 |
| dr_willis | CDrone: you dont need one. | 04:20 |

| Mr_MeatWad | lol you definitely have a root account | 04:20 |
| Mr_MeatWad | you just aren't using it now | 04:21 |
| fuzzynurfhurter | yeah but wouldnt that make it a bigger size altogether?? | 04:21 |

| fuzzynurfhurter | i have 10 right now that might be 7gb | 04:21 |
| dr_willis | fuzzynurfhurter: why would it? if the cd is 500mb iso..then its got 500mb of data on it... | 04:21 |
| vibhav | CDrone: Why do you need a root account? | 04:21 |
| CDrone | Mr_MeatWad when i try "su" it asks for a pass, when i enter me pass,,, it rejects authentication | 04:21 |

| fuzzynurfhurter | cd | 04:29 |

| kosko | dr_willis: and apt-get is a front end to dpkg too? | 04:31 |
| Mr_MeatWad | and tell me how i would set up windows to recieve http through a different port | 04:31 |
| dr_willis | Mr_MeatWad: many vm's can be set to appear on tehlocal lan as a real machine. no need to forwared ports. they have a ip on the same as any other box would. | 04:31 |
| Mr_MeatWad | in dos that is | 04:31 |
| dr_willis | kosko: basicaally | 04:32 |
| KRomeleoN | what backup services work with deja dup other than ubuntu one and dropbox? | 04:32 |
| Mr_MeatWad | yeah but i wanted to host on the windows vm | 04:32 |
| kosko | dr_willis: thanks | 04:32 |
| Mr_MeatWad | so i will definitely need to forward ports | 04:32 |
| dr_willis | if the VM appears on the local lan as a real box.. the router can just forwared to its ip. no need for the host to handle the forwarding | 04:33 |
| Mr_MeatWad | doesn't show | 04:34 |
| Mr_MeatWad | dont want to set up nat on it | 04:34 |
| Mr_MeatWad | i could but everytime i do it basically locks the whole net up | 04:34 |
| dr_willis | KRomeleoN: theres some fuse tools and other ways to have some of those cloud storage services appear as a local directory you could backup to. depending on what one you want to use | 04:35 |
| KRomeleoN | i want the home folder to get backed up weekly | 04:36 |

| Guest1 | Thank you everybody. But now I'm even more confused. I have 2GB of ram. and a 2.14GHZ processer, why is ubuntu running slowly? | 04:46 |
| Guest1 | The installation said it needed 17GB, and the partition I have it had 31GB | 04:47 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest1 make sure you don't have too many kernels installed in / | 04:47 |
| linux_is_my_hero | how to i permanantly reassign keyboard keys in ubuntu? | 04:47 |
| bazhang | Guest1, whats the video card with that | 04:47 |
| linux_is_my_hero | i can do it temporarily using xmodmap but how do i make it stay for good? | 04:47 |
| Guest1 | I'd have to look that up. Its the onboard video. | 04:48 |

| uw | hi trying to build something and it quit with "Your intltool is too old. You need intltool 0.40.0 or later." how can i upgrade my intltool? apt-get? | 04:50 |
| bazhang | uw what version of ubuntu | 04:50 |
| uw | lts 10.04 | 04:51 |
| phanimahesh | probably unrelated, but can I block these joined, away, and quit messages from appearing? Using empathy. | 04:51 |
| MageofHope | anybody here know how to downgrade an ubuntu package from 12.04's version to 11.10's? | 04:51 |
| MageofHope | uTouch, specifically | 04:51 |
| MageofHope | is what i want to downgrade | 04:51 |
| Guest1 | bazhang i'm brand new to linux, and have no idea what lspci is, or the terminal. Literally just started 4 hours ago | 04:51 |
| MageofHope | I tacked this earlier but saw no simple why to do it | 04:51 |
| uw | bazhang, 2.6.32-37-generic | 04:51 |
| vibhav | Guest1: In a terminal, type "lspci" | 04:52 |
| yeats | Guest1: do Ctrl-Alt-T to open a terminal window | 04:52 |
| dr_willis | !tterminal | 04:52 |
| vibhav | Guest1: And paste the output it gives to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ | 04:52 |
| bazhang | Guest1, control alt T to get the terminal then type lspci , open a browser like firefox to paste.ubuntu.com and paste it there, save and give us the url here | 04:52 |

| fuzzynurfhurter | help | 04:53 |
| bazhang | uw what are building that needs that | 04:53 |
| fuzzynurfhurter | dam didnt work | 04:53 |
| bazhang | fuzzynurfhurter, with what | 04:53 |
| MageofHope | phanimahesh: wouldn't i need to uninstall the package i want to install, first? | 04:53 |
| Guest1 | ah, ok. I'll have to be a minute then, because linux was so slow it was unusable. I'm on windows XP right now. Let me write this down, and i'll be back in a bit | 04:53 |
| fuzzynurfhurter | nothing | 04:53 |
| MageofHope | because trying to uninstall utouch made the terminal try to uninstall Unity completely | 04:53 |
| uw | bazhang, deadbeef-0.5.5 | 04:53 |
| MageofHope | I have Gnome 3 as my desktop install so I could do it as a last recourse though | 04:54 |
| phanimahesh | MageofHope: May be supply --reinstall to apt-get. | 04:54 |
| uw | bazhang, http://deadbeef.sourceforge.net/ | 04:54 |
| phanimahesh | MageofHope: apt-get install --reinstall utouch=<ver> | 04:54 |
| MageofHope | mmmkay, thank you | 04:54 |
| bazhang | phanimahesh, there is no downgrade of packages between versions | 04:55 |
| phanimahesh | bazhang: between versions?? | 04:55 |
| dr_willis | shouldent that be between 'releases' | 04:55 |
| dr_willis | ie: 11.10 to 12.04 | 04:56 |
| bazhang | phanimahesh, he wants to downgrade to the 11.10 version he's now on 12.04 | 04:56 |
| MonkeyDust | darn pc | 04:56 |
| phanimahesh | ok, then that may be a problem. | 04:56 |
| dr_willis | the 11.10 release version | 04:56 |
| phanimahesh | bazhang: but if the version is in his repositories, it should go fine I believe. | 04:57 |
| bazhang | phanimahesh, he would not have repos for 11.10 with 12.04 | 04:57 |
| brettJames_ | Hello could someone please tell me how you would recommend installing ubuntu on a custom built windows machine with Windows 7 and the Main OS. I have 2 more completely empty hard drives would you just pick one and install on it? | 04:57 |
| phanimahesh | got the point. | 04:57 |
| phanimahesh | brettJames_: yup. Install onto one of those empty ones. | 04:57 |
| dr_willis | brettJames_: thats how i normally do it. I evven put the grub loader on the dedicated linux hard drive. that way the windows hd stays toally untouched. | 04:58 |
| MonkeyDust | brettJames_ it just installs alongside windows, installer does it for you | 04:58 |
| vibhav | bazhang: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1053707/ | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | brettJames_: then you set the bios to boot that linux hd | 04:58 |
| bazhang | vibhav, whats that | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | brettJames_: be sure to put grub on the linux hd- not the windows one - if you wan tto do it that way. ;) | 04:58 |
| brettJames_ | Yeah | 04:58 |
| brettJames_ | thats what happened to me last time | 04:58 |
| brettJames_ | it messed with my windows | 04:58 |
| brettJames_ | how do you put the grub load on that hd? | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | grub on the windows hd shouldlent really affect anything | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | the insrtaller asks where to put it... at the end | 04:59 |
| brettJames_ | yeah but id rather not lol | 04:59 |
| brettJames_ | oh it does ok | 04:59 |
| MonkeyDust | !install| brettJames_ read this | 04:59 |
| ubottu | brettJames_ read this: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | rember to tell it like sdb. not sdb1 | 04:59 |
| brettJames_ | Installing alongside of windows is there any downside? | 04:59 |
| MonkeyDust | brettJames_ no, it's the normal way | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | brettJames_: thats the normal way to install ubuntu for dual booting | 05:00 |
| brettJames_ | oh lol | 05:00 |
| phanimahesh | brettJames_: None. | 05:00 |
| brettJames_ | ok and then a simple add/remove programs and its completely gone? | 05:00 |
| brettJames_ | not a single trace? | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | downside = you still have windows installed | 05:00 |
| brettJames_ | HAHAHAHAHA | 05:00 |
| ki4ro | brettJames_: I ran Ubuntu alongside Windows for about 6 months with no problems | 05:00 |
| MonkeyDust | brettJames_ no, that's wubi, you don't want that | 05:00 |
| phanimahesh | brettJames_: what?? add/remove?? | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | brettJames_: windows dosent see the linux install... | 05:00 |
| Mr_MeatWad | hey guys why should i install ubuntu server and my server instead of the desktop version if they can both run the same programs? | 05:00 |
| fuzzynurfhurter | onlyif u uninstall it wontlet u into windows if its dual boot | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | brettJames_: you are confuseing wubi with a 'dual boot along side install' | 05:01 |
| brettJames_ | Hmm.. it says right on the site that you can uninstall it through add remove programs | 05:01 |
| brettJames_ | if you do the alongside of windows way | 05:01 |
| dr_willis | brettJames_: thats the wubi docs.... | 05:01 |
| phanimahesh | Mr_MeatWad: Server is better if you intend to use it as a server. It runs little lightweight. | 05:01 |
| dr_willis | the use of your term 'alongside' is getting messed up | 05:01 |
| MonkeyDust | brettJames_ yes, that's wubi, inside windows, not alongside it | 05:01 |
| brettJames_ | ohh ok | 05:01 |
| brettJames_ | so do not install it inside of windows? with that easy installer? Instead you recommend downloading and burning to a CD | 05:02 |
| brettJames_ | right | 05:02 |
| MonkeyDust | brettJames_ wubi means Will Ultimatley Be Inconsistent | 05:02 |
| fuzzynurfhurter | i thought that was dual booting | 05:02 |
| Mr_MeatWad | okay it really just boils down to resource consumption? | 05:02 |
| vibhav | bazhang: version of intltool in different ubuntu series | 05:02 |
| brettJames_ | got it | 05:02 |
| dr_willis | brettJames_: wubi installs INSIDE windows.. and it is flakey | 05:02 |
| brettJames_ | sorry I mixed that up | 05:02 |
| brettJames_ | thats what I mean't | 05:02 |
| dr_willis | and it wont use the other hd like a normal install | 05:02 |
| brettJames_ | i heard it is flakey so I was asking. I didn't mean to call it alongside tho | 05:02 |
| fuzzynurfhurter | bret put it on a flash drive | 05:03 |
| brettJames_ | got it so I should just install it on one of my separate hard drives | 05:03 |
| brettJames_ | ive done this before and I had so many boot issues | 05:03 |
| brettJames_ | my hard drive letters got all messed up or something lol | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | ive dont it 1000;s of times with no boot issues.. ;) | 05:03 |
| Mr_MeatWad | phanimahesh, so the only difference is the size and how their resource consumption? | 05:03 |
| brettJames_ | ahaha I think it was after uninstalling | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | windows wont see the hd.. so no letters... | 05:04 |
| brettJames_ | or reformatting the HDD | 05:04 |
| brettJames_ | oh alright | 05:04 |
| vibhav | uw: 10.04 has intltool version 0-41.0-1ubuntu1 you probably need to upgrade | 05:04 |
| brettJames_ | When installing it will give me the option to completely clear the HD I am installing it on right? | 05:04 |
| MageofHope | woops my window didnt scroll down | 05:04 |
| phanimahesh | Mr_MeatWad: Kind of yes. They both use same repositories. And you can install a meta-package ubuntu-desktop to convert a server into desktop. | 05:05 |
| MageofHope | would it be inadvisable for me to add 11.10's repos to 12.04 in order to downgrade? | 05:05 |
| xangua | MageofHope: no | 05:05 |
| dr_willis | brettJames_: i partition thehd befor i stgart the instfaller with gparted. then tell the instgaller exactly what partitons to use for / and /home/ and swap normally.. that way im sure its going where i want | 05:05 |
| bazhang | MageofHope, yes. dont do it | 05:05 |
| phanimahesh | MageofHope: I suggest against it. | 05:05 |
| dr_willis | MageofHope: thats one wya to totally trash tghe system | 05:05 |
| MageofHope | Mmmkay, I figured as much but I thought I may as well ask | 05:05 |
| MageofHope | So I suppose I'm out of options in this case? :/ | 05:05 |
| phanimahesh | MageofHope: Glad you asked. :D :P | 05:05 |
| Mr_MeatWad | hmmm i think i might just use the desktop version for my server just cause i think it looks prettier than the command line | 05:06 |
| KRomeleoN | why downgrade? | 05:06 |
| brettJames_ | Thanks for all of the help guys I think I am going to Dual Boot since my SSD has only 30GB left on it | 05:06 |
| MageofHope | Because touchegg won't work for the newest version of uTouch | 05:06 |
| phanimahesh | MageofHope: may be reinstall Ubuntu, though i suggest against it. | 05:06 |
| MageofHope | come to think of it, Unity's inherent mouse gestures seem to be broken for it as well | 05:06 |
| dr_willis | there maybe PPA's for utouch that fix the issues | 05:06 |
| MageofHope | yeah it's not worth THAT much, I just wanted to get touchegg working | 05:06 |
| MageofHope | Nope, i have uTouch's PPA | 05:07 |
| phanimahesh | MageofHope: look for ppas, file a bug.. | 05:07 |
| * dr_willis has no idea what a touchegg even is... sounds./ err... perverted | 05:07 | |
| MageofHope | the issue is that Ubuntu 12.04's utouch changed it's API, and touchegg hasnt had the time to catch up | 05:07 |
| phanimahesh | there can be multiple ppas. | 05:07 |
| MageofHope | it's a documented issue | 05:07 |
| Guest1 | Ok i'm back. | 05:07 |
| phanimahesh | dr_willis: :P | 05:07 |
| MageofHope | uh, its a configuration software | 05:07 |
| MonkeyDust | !info utouch | 05:07 |
| MageofHope | to enable/configure multi touch features on laptops with trackpads | 05:07 |
| ubottu | utouch (source: utouch): Metapackage to install gesture libraries and tools. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2 (precise), package size 2 kB, installed size 26 kB | 05:07 |
| Guest1 | apperently I cant even get into ubuntu now. It just gives me a blank purple screen as it tries to load | 05:08 |
| MageofHope | it uses uTouch to configure those features. It worked for Ubuntu 11.10 but apparently the developer hasnt had time to update it to 12.04 | 05:08 |
| phanimahesh | Guest1: did you try tty? | 05:08 |
| MageofHope | and there's no clear release date for such an update | 05:08 |
| vibhav | Guest1: HAve you installed any video driver? | 05:08 |
| uw | vibhav, do you how i can upgrade intltool? | 05:08 |
| thatsachop | im in gedit. i save as .sh but when i try to run it through the terminal i keep getting no file or directory | 05:09 |
| uw | know how* | 05:09 |
| phanimahesh | Guest1: also try hitting esc when the purple loading screen shows up. It'll then show messages.. | 05:09 |
| dr_willis | thatsachop: make it executable and give the full path to the sh file ./foo.sh | 05:09 |
| Guest1 | no messages, just a blank purple screen, and it never goes anywhere from there | 05:09 |
| aum__ | how can i install kernel source (headers), i have installed 'build-essential' package. | 05:09 |
| MonkeyDust | MageofHope https://launchpad.net/utouch | 05:09 |
| dr_willis | !headers | 05:10 |
| ubottu | To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages | 05:10 |
| Guest1 | The only video driver is the same thats always been on this computer. I got into ubuntu fine the first time, but apperently no more | 05:10 |
| vibhav | uw: sudo apt-get install intltool | 05:10 |
| vibhav | Guest1: Do you the name of your graphics card? | 05:11 |
| Guest1 | I'm on my laptop now, so I can be on ubuntu on my PC, and also be in this chat | 05:11 |
| thatsachop | dr_willis <3 | 05:11 |
| MageofHope | MonkeyDust: Um? I'm confused? | 05:11 |
| Guest1 | there is no graphics card, just onboard video | 05:11 |
| MageofHope | I have this ppa installed already, i'm pretty sure. unless this one is specifically for 11.10 or something? | 05:11 |
| vibhav | Guest1: What is the name of your onboard video card> | 05:12 |

| Guest1 | I'd have to go back into windows to check, I know its nvidea something | 05:12 |
| Guest1 | going back into windows now | 05:12 |
| vibhav | sigh, ncvidia | 05:12 |
| crackerjackz | Guest1, nah | 05:12 |
| MonkeyDust | MageofHope there you find the latest info about utouch | 05:12 |
| crackerjackz | wait | 05:12 |
| crackerjackz | Guest1, | 05:12 |
| vibhav | nvidia* | 05:13 |
| crackerjackz | type lspci in a terminal | 05:13 |
| MageofHope | ok, thanks | 05:13 |
| vibhav | crackerjackz: He cannot access ubuntu, how can he access the terminal? | 05:13 |
| crackerjackz | vibhav, ahhhh i wasn't aware i just got here | 05:13 |
| niocora | Safe mode? | 05:13 |
| Guest1 | crackerjackz I cant even get into ubuntu. It loads a purple blank screen, and thats as far as I get | 05:13 |
| dr_willis | !text | 05:13 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 05:13 |
| crackerjackz | Guest1, when trying to boot from the live cd? | 05:13 |
| dr_willis | guest1 tryed the nomode option yet? | 05:13 |
| crackerjackz | Guest1, or try loading it with noacpi | 05:14 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset | 05:14 |
| ubottu | 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 | 05:14 |
| Guest1 | No, this is a 30GB partition, and it takes up 17GB of that | 05:14 |
| Guest1 | I'm not sure what nomode or noacpi are | 05:14 |
| crackerjackz | dr_willis, can you help me figure out how to get my tv working as a display? | 05:14 |
| niocora | Guest1: Have you installed ubuntu? | 05:15 |
| crackerjackz | when i go to system > preferences > monitors.... it only shows my laptops display | 05:15 |
| crackerjackz | how do i get my tv to show up in system > preferences > monitors ? | 05:15 |
| crackerjackz | i have a vga cable going from my computer to my tv and i have my tv on input "pc" | 05:15 |
| crackerjackz | i can hear the audio.. but no display | 05:16 |
| Guest1 | niocora yes, just today. It let me in once, and then it was unusably slow. So I went back to windows tried searching for the problem, and now it wont even let me in | 05:16 |
| MonkeyDust | crackerjackz explore mythtv | 05:16 |

| Guest1 | And heres the weird thing, it doesnt wait for you. If you dont move the arrows right away, it boots into windows | 05:19 |

| uw | vibhav, thanks i was thinking it was apt-get upgrade intltool | 05:28 |

| JohnTeddy | How can I fix it? | 05:40 |
| Silversong | Try restart first? xD | 05:40 |
| skpl | can someone help me? i installed gnome-shell and now when i try to login using compiz as the manager it says i cant use special effects because mutter is running. | 05:40 |
| MonkeyDust | JohnTeddy open a terminal and type alsamixer, see if you find something, MM means mute | 05:41 |
| xangua | skynix: yes gnome-shell uses mutter, if you want to use compiz stick with unity or you can try also with gnome fallback mode | 05:42 |

| shadykhan | unity isnt bad it just wish i could move it to the bottom of my screen | 05:47 |
| grendal | its my job to damn things | 05:47 |
| grendal | if you hear me working pay attention cause whatever im damning is probably evile on a biblical level | 05:47 |
| grendal | i have netbook | 05:48 |
| MonkeyDust | shadykhan you can, moment | 05:48 |
| grendal | openvpn dialogbox does not fit on the screen | 05:48 |
| grendal | i cant see the buttons at the botom of the screen | 05:49 |
| grendal | with old gnome, and compiz i could zoom out of the desktop and move the window so it was up on the screen where i could see them buttons | 05:49 |
| MonkeyDust | shadykhan sorry, howto page no longer exists | 05:50 |
| grendal | any advise? | 05:50 |
| shadykhan | :( | 05:50 |
| shadykhan | MonkeyDust, there was a way in 11.10 but in 12.04 it didnt work anymore | 05:50 |
| MonkeyDust | shadykhan idd | 05:50 |
| grendal | will the compiz manager work with this shit | 05:51 |
| brettJames_ | Why does this have to be so complicated for me haha I have Windows 7 on my 128GB SSD and I have a 1TB HD for Storage, but I also have a 1.5TB HD that I want to install Ubuntu 12.04 on. I burnt the disc. | 05:52 |
| shadykhan | brettJames_, what are you getting stuck on | 05:53 |
| brettJames_ | should I do something to my 1.5TB hard drive before I go with the install? | 05:53 |
| shadykhan | if you want | 05:53 |
| shadykhan | are you used to ubuntu | 05:53 |
| brettJames_ | because when I go to advanced mode I can't even select the hard drive and install | 05:53 |
| MonkeyDust | brettJames_ that's called 'learning', soemthing you had to do with other OSs, too | 05:53 |
| shadykhan | or are you trying it out? | 05:53 |
| brettJames_ | I used it before | 05:53 |
| brettJames_ | but on the same hard drive as windows when it was my only HD | 05:53 |
| grendal | if i had to choose i would go with gnome3 to be honest...but when i connect my extra screen to my netbook..it runs so damn slow its pathetic | 05:53 |
| brettJames_ | I can't find a good tutorial anywhere on how to install it on a separate HD from windows | 05:54 |
| grendal | and actually the ONLY thing that really runs well in that situation is gnome classic | 05:54 |
| MonkeyDust | <3 gnome classic | 05:54 |
| skpl | how can i stop mutter from running at startup? | 05:55 |
| brettJames_ | When the screen comes up to install alongside of windows, or clear windows and install, or Other Options. I'm assuming I go to other options then select the 1.5TB HD that I want to install on and hit next? | 05:55 |
| grendal | ya...i mean there was nothing wrong with the desktop..i finally had a bunch of people using gnome..and then this bullshit. | 05:55 |
| MonkeyDust | brettJames_ install it on the free partition | 05:55 |
| grendal | they are going to be confused as hell | 05:55 |
| grendal | what was the reason for this? | 05:55 |
| brettJames_ | ok should I even have to add a partition to it? | 05:56 |
| shadykhan | anyone using spotify with the cache crash problem? | 05:56 |
| MonkeyDust | brettJames_ you said before you have a free partition, use that | 05:56 |
| brettJames_ | Is there anything I can do to this hard drive within windows to the 1.5 HD to make my life easier. As of now it is a formatted 1 partition empty HD | 05:56 |
| brettJames_ | is that the best way to start or should I format it again and name it Ubuntu or something | 05:57 |
| MonkeyDust | brettJames_ no, it's not like that, start with the live cd | 05:57 |
| brettJames_ | yeh I'm gonna try again | 05:57 |
| MonkeyDust | brettJames_ and use gparted when you're there, to get a idea about partition | 05:57 |
| brettJames_ | the list of options confuses the living shit out of me lol | 05:57 |
| brettJames_ | alright | 05:58 |
| brettJames_ | I'm going to try again | 05:58 |
| MonkeyDust | brettJames_ you're learning soemthing new :) | 05:58 |
| brettJames_ | Yeah im hoping I learn it without touching my 128 SSD with Windows 7 on it | 05:58 |
| brettJames_ | and erasing it | 05:58 |
| MageofHope | Sorry to ask so many questions here but I'm really stumped trying to get this to work :c | 05:58 |
| brettJames_ | One time when I was playing around with all of this I booted my computer and got a GRUB error | 05:59 |
| MageofHope | I have a Lenovo Ideapad Y570 with a multitouch trackpad. Basically, I have two finger horizontal scrolling, but three fingers and up doesn't seem to work. I'd like to be able to use pinching and three/four finger taps, but there doesn't seem to be any way to enable those features | 06:00 |
| MageofHope | not even in Unity, which is supposed to have native support for them, apparently? | 06:00 |
| phanindraramesh | In the kate editor when I select some lines in a text file, the lines to be highlighted are going invisible. I think may the highlight colour of kate is set to white. How can I change that? | 06:00 |
| MageofHope | Basically what I'm asking is, does anyone know of other ways to configuring touchpads | 06:00 |
| niocora | phanindraramesh: Manually edit your color theme. | 06:00 |
| MonkeyDust | MageofHope there's this (2009!!) http://agoranetbook.kayno.net/2009/10/06/touchpad-configuration-for-ubuntu-9-10-grub-2/ | 06:01 |
| adam__ | !nounity | 06:04 |
| ubottu | 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 | 06:04 |
| lopsided | MageofHope: http://www.synaptics.com/solutions/technology/touchpad-linux perhaps your laptop vendor can assist? | 06:05 |
| Nom- | Hey guys... how do I disable the graphical splash screen (the ubuntu with dots) on 12.04 server? | 06:07 |
| niocora | Nom-: Edit your kernel line? | 06:07 |
| nocturnal_ | If i'm running ubuntu server and type startx does that just start x without a wm? | 06:08 |
| Nom- | niocora: That used to work, but precise doesn't have 'slpash' in the kernel line like older versions | 06:08 |
| niocora | nosplash? | 06:08 |
| MageofHope | lopsided: this is...interesting, but how would I..install it? I mean I think Ubuntu comes with a synaptic driver, so doesn't this come by default? | 06:08 |
| MageofHope | also weirdly, I installed synaptiks config and it wont..start up | 06:09 |
| MageofHope | it crashes | 06:09 |
| nocturnal_ | does anyone use ubuntu server? | 06:09 |
| grendal | ya gnome classic works | 06:10 |
| grendal | its straight up the shiznit | 06:10 |
| Nom- | niocora: I'll try it :) | 06:10 |
| Nom- | Can't seem to find it documented though | 06:10 |
| niocora | Ubuntu might not have it. | 06:10 |
| Nom- | awesome nosplash does work | 06:11 |
| Nom- | *adds to preseed file* | 06:11 |
| niocora | Nom-: It was either that or quietsplash. | 06:12 |
| Nom- | hmm actually... i still get the ubuntu 12.04 once the boot process finishes | 06:12 |
| Nom- | Something must kick in still and bring that up, but at least I get some verbosity now | 06:12 |
| grendal | what happens if i just install the gnome desktop now..not gnome-shell but the goold ol gnome package? | 06:14 |
| chu | You might want gnome-panel instead. | 06:14 |
| chu | !nonunity | 06:14 |
| MonkeyDust | grendal it's called fallback, i use it, it looks like gnome2 | 06:14 |
| grendal | the package is fallback? | 06:14 |
| niocora | !unity | 06:14 |
| ubottu | 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 | 06:14 |
| chu | !nounity | 06:14 |

| grendal | but like..i cant put launchers on the desktop anymore? wtf? | 06:16 |

| grendal | my mother is going to be pissed. dude im telling you ive tried that. | 06:16 |
| niocora | GeekAdmin: What do you want to do? | 06:17 |
| grendal | i get these funky shortcut looking things that complain about it not being an authorized launcher (or something crazy like that) | 06:17 |
| GeekAdmin | niocora: automate the mouse to click a button on a site ( I tried with every terminal web browser you can think of) | 06:17 |
| subdesign | is it a command to check how much disk space being used by an app? | 06:17 |
| niocora | GeekAdmin: You want the mouse to move of it's own accord and click a button on a website? | 06:18 |
| grendal | if it was just me...hell i wouldnt worrie about it...the only thing taht really bothers me is the windows that dont fit on my netbook issue. I can just launch openvpn client instances from cmln i dont care that much about that shit..but man when i cant put a shortcut to openofice on my mothers desktop...heads are going to roll | 06:18 |

| rhizmoe | is this where i complain about default notifier silliness? | 06:20 |
| sacarlson | GeekAdmin: I use the libs of watir http://watir.com/ | 06:21 |
| rhizmoe | since it doesn't appear to display multiple notifications, i believe i'm watching a backlog continuously displaying for my last zillion automated tests | 06:21 |
| niocora | rhizmoe: This is where you complain and a few people commiserate and a few flame you for daring to say such a thing. :) | 06:21 |
| rhizmoe | ok, lemme change tack: are there alternate notifiers for 12.04? | 06:22 |
| rhizmoe | i believe the default is something like unconfigurable, unstylable, un-anything-able, right? | 06:23 |
| Mr | hey how can i go to the german channel? | 06:23 |

| rhizmoe | ugh, this is the only thing i use notifications for...and it's terrible! | 06:26 |
| rhizmoe | who has shuttleworth's email? i need to let him know how i feel about this. | 06:27 |
| chu | No you don't. | 06:27 |
| MonkeyDust | rhizmoe try launchpad or brainstorm, first | 06:28 |
| rhizmoe | i do, i'm confident of this. furthermore, he needs to read about it in my particular tone and cant. | 06:28 |
| rhizmoe | it will accomplish the change all of us have been waiting for. | 06:28 |
| rhizmoe | MonkeyDust: everything i've been able to find indicates a status of "like it or lump it" | 06:29 |
| Mr | there is a program that is called *myunity* and there you can change the theme. and there is a very nice pic for the home folder (its an orange house). its just a detail but i realy like to use this, so my question is if someone could send me this cause i can not find through. | 06:29 |
| MonkeyDust | rhizmoe ultimately, you could download the source code and change it to suit your needs | 06:29 |
| rhizmoe | is NotifyOSD the official name? that might help. | 06:30 |
| rhizmoe | ah ha, it is backlogging. | 06:31 |
| MonkeyDust | rhizmoe moreover, shuttleworth is no longer in charge, it's some lady now | 06:32 |
| rhizmoe | "Each display should show up to one confirmation bubble, plus up to one notification bubble, at a time." | 06:32 |
| rhizmoe | BONERZ | 06:32 |
| Mr | rhizmoe: so you are using 12.04 gnome? | 06:33 |

| brettJames_ | Hey anyone still here? I actually got somewhere | 06:42 |
| brettJames_ | I installed Ubtunu on my 1.5TB Hard Drive. Creating 2 Partitions the main one "/" and a swap. Then installed. My problem now is that Windows still boots from my SSD which is first in the order. How can I make choosing easy? | 06:43 |
| mgedmin | is testdrive broken on 12.04 or what? when I launch it to play with a quantal image, (1) the desktop is squashed without maintaining aspect ratio, and worse (2) the mouse cursor is invisible | 06:43 |
| brettJames_ | or Do I have to go in the bios each time | 06:43 |
| mgedmin | or is (2) just a bug in the current quantal images? | 06:43 |
| MonkeyDust | brettJames_ do you see the grub menu, where you can choose Os? | 06:44 |
| MonkeyDust | OSs* | 06:44 |
| mgedmin | brettJames_, if you swap the boot order in the BIOS, the boot manager (GRUB) on your 1.5TB drive ought to present you with a menu | 06:44 |
| brettJames_ | Nope, I chose to install the boot thing on my 1.5 TB HD with ubuntu was that right? | 06:44 |
| brettJames_ | OH NICE! | 06:45 |

| brettJames_ | have a good one guys | 06:45 |

| Mandalord | add the command and type YOUR password (it does not appear though) | 06:46 |

| mputtr | try gksudo palimpsest | 06:49 |
| Mandalord | LenovoG470: i dont think gtk+ have anything to do with adobe flash, just remember to enable it in your browser (something like Setting > Plugin > Adobe flash ...) | 06:49 |
| Blue1 | what kind of flash issues? | 06:49 |
| Blue1 | you need flashplugin-nonfree | 06:49 |
| kanupatar | cemiotic: no man.it is not showing in disk utility either or in fdisk -l | 06:49 |
| kanupatar | while log in it is asking for recovery | 06:49 |

| kanupatar | MonkeyDust: wait | 06:54 |

| theadmin | glosoli: Huh. Thought it was. Oh well -- I'm a Vim person | 07:36 |
| glosoli | theadmin: I tryed to get used to vim.. didin't fit me:/ now I want to setup my Emacs workspace | 07:36 |
| theadmin | glosoli: I see, well, you can probably create the launcher yourself | 07:36 |
| glosoli | theadmin: you mean that desktop file ? | 07:37 |
| theadmin | glosoli: Sure, why not?... Wasn't there some graphical menu editor in Ubuntu at some point though? | 07:37 |
| glosoli | theadmin: some time ago probably hmm | 07:37 |
| glosoli | oh there is still one | 07:37 |
| MonkeyDust | alacarte | 07:38 |
| MonkeyDust | it means 'on the menu' (in french restaurants) | 07:38 |
| glosoli | sorry my bad, I forgot about lenses, and always tryed to search for app in home lenses but it didin't find it | 07:38 |
| glosoli | hmm but it creates another instance | 07:38 |
| glosoli | maybe some of you know what can this mean: /usr/bin/emacsclient.emacs-snapshot -c -a I mean what -c -a is responsible of ? | 07:41 |
| X-tonic | Wasnt there a blog post about shifting to py 3 in quantal? but packages.ubuntu.com tells otherwose | 07:43 |
| DJones | X-tonic: You'll probably be better asking that in #ubuntu+1 which is the support channel for the development version | 07:43 |
| MonkeyDust | X-tonic better ask in #ubuntu+1 | 07:44 |
| MonkeyDust | DJones was faster :) | 07:44 |
| DJones | MonkeyDust: Don't know how I managed that | 07:44 |
| qdb | hello . can i install http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/bcmwl-kernel-source ( 5.100.82.112 ) to 10.10 ? | 07:45 |
| MonkeyDust | qdb you too, quantal in #ubuntu+1 | 07:47 |
| theadmin | qdb: Generally speaking, no, you can not install a package from a different Ubuntu version. | 07:48 |
| qdb | MonkeyDust, thank you | 07:48 |
| * MonkeyDust misread the question | 07:48 | |
| === ks is now known as fbnlsr | ||
| MonkeyDust | qdb 10.10 is EOL, no longer supported | 07:48 |
| qdb | is it possible to use quantal repo in 10.10 | 07:49 |
| MonkeyDust | qdb don't mix versions | 07:49 |
| theadmin | qdb: Again, it's not. | 07:49 |
| theadmin | qdb: I just said so. | 07:50 |
| qdb | what if turn on quantal repo then download and install then remove the repo | 07:50 |
| MonkeyDust | qdb then you will happily ruin your system | 07:51 |
| DJones | qdb: As has been advised, its not recommended, you will most likely break your system | 07:51 |
| qdb | it is fresh installed | 07:51 |
| qdb | then i lll install 10 04 or quantal | 07:51 |
| sw | hi. I need to install sun jvm >=1.5, what package would that be? | 07:51 |
| vampirnata | could someone help me figure out how to remove the execute bit on all files in a directory EXCEPT for the subfolders, but including the files in the subfolders. | 07:53 |

| vampirnata | perfect :) thanks! | 07:54 |
| vampirnata | does that do it recursively? | 07:54 |
| theadmin | vampirnata: Yes, if you want to do it unrecursively use -maxdepth 0 (I think) | 07:54 |
| vampirnata | sounds good. thank you theadmin | 07:55 |

| ubottu | 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 | 07:59 |
| theadmin | sw: ...So you go to java.com and install it according to their instructions. | 07:59 |

| soa2ii | Hi. I installed 12.04 on a Dell notebook here (amd64 x2). It looks like that it's getting hotter and hotter during cpu intensive tasks and finally just goes out. Are there some ACPI features or whatever that are missing in a normal 12.04 installation? | 08:08 |

| maxmc | Hi. | 08:13 |
| maxmc | I own a thinkpad x220 with ubuntu 12.04, latest updates are installed. Overall by internet connection is fast, but sometimes it hangs. | 08:13 |
| Mr | there is a issue with my terminal right now* ovells@ovells-System-Product-Name:~$ | 08:13 |
| maxmc | Meaning it takes > 5 seconds to open a website. The browser (I tested with Chromium and Firefox) then displays "sending request" and nothing happens. | 08:13 |
| maxmc | After a while the site is rendered. This doensn't seem to be related to the site. For instance somtimes google is shown immediately, sometimes it "hangs". | 08:13 |
| maxmc | The solutions I googled suggest to disable ip6 which I have done. But with no luck. The problem remains. So has anyone an idea what else I could try. Thanks! | 08:13 |
| benjabean1 | what do you mean by "it hangs," maxmc? | 08:14 |
| maxmc | Ah, other computers on my network (windows 7) work fine | 08:14 |
| petryk | hello | 08:15 |
| benjabean1 | hi | 08:15 |
| maxmc | @benjabean1: like I described. I request the site. The browser displays "sending request" and for the next 5-15sec nothing happens | 08:15 |
| benjabean1 | which browser? | 08:15 |
| maxmc | Then the browser "resumes work" and renders the requested page | 08:15 |
| maxmc | like i said I tested with Chromium and Firefox | 08:16 |
| maxmc | latest versions | 08:16 |
| benjabean1 | sorry, i joined the channel late, must've missed that bit, xchat crashed | 08:16 |
| maxmc | ah i see :) | 08:16 |
| benjabean1 | do you have any extensions running? | 08:17 |
| maxmc | only in firefox | 08:17 |

| benjabean1 | go into chromium, press "CTRL+SHIFT+I", go to network tab, then visit "whatismyip.akamai.com" | 08:20 |
| maxmc | yes | 08:21 |
| benjabean1 | @maxmc? | 08:21 |

| MonkeyDust | dudemang information about what? | 08:22 |
| maxmc | no immediately. the hang appears randomly. sometimes I visit 20+ pages and the it happens | 08:22 |
| dudemang | MonkeyDust: Stuff like hard drive space and disk model | 08:22 |

| === killer is now known as killer_ | ||

| Arash | hmmm what do you mean ? | 08:57 |
| Arash | the vpn server's in my hands and Its NAT | 08:57 |
| MonkeyDust | Arash 'bridged' makes a logical bridge to your existing network 192....., NAT does not (network address translation) | 08:58 |
| Arash | how can I set It to nat ? | 08:58 |
| MonkeyDust | dunno, havent used VPN, i know it from vbox | 08:59 |

| Guest1 | well, I'll try it tomarrow. Its 5:30am and I've been at this since 9pm | 09:32 |
| Guest1 | ok, it loaded through to the desktop, but the cursor is just a circular loading symbal, and its been going for some time now........how long do I wait until I say its not going to finish? | 09:33 |
| Mr | how can i make that the clook shows: Weekday /date/ hours/min./sec (12.04. gnome classic)?? | 09:38 |
| Asmir | Hello all | 09:39 |
| dr_willis | hiddy hoo | 09:39 |
| phanindraramesh | hai all. when ever I open a text file in kde, it is opening along with another empty text document. how can I avoid it? | 09:40 |
| Asmir | was wondering if I could get some help, I am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 but failing in doing so | 09:40 |
| dr_willis | Asmir: what the exact failure? | 09:41 |
| === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk | ||
| Asmir | well I tried installing with wubi, goes to restart, starts loading ubuntu screen and get a message: Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/some numbers doesn't exist | 09:42 |
| MonkeyDust | wubi :( | 09:42 |
| Asmir | when I try to install with cd in booting into live cd and then installing, I always get error message root folder something | 09:43 |
| Asmir | I am wondering if it has something to do with the fact I am running raid 0 ssd | 09:43 |
| Asmir | and I have win 7 ultimate, so I want to dual boot it | 09:44 |
| Guest1 | asmir, I got that message, what I did to solve it was change the installation partition to .ext4 and change the boot to / | 09:44 |
| === casey_afk is now known as casey | ||
| Asmir | so should I create new partition in win 7, format it to ext4 and then try to install it like that? | 09:45 |
| dr_willis | i dont even use raid enough to advise.. other then to say.... backup everything ;) | 09:45 |
| reisio | casual radi usage is asking for trouble, even with raid 0 being a waste of time aside | 09:46 |
| reisio | casual raid* | 09:46 |
| Asmir | because I tried to create new partition with ext3 in windows (my partitioning sw doesn't have ext4 option) but when I run wubi, it is not in the list of disks | 09:46 |
| dr_willis | i always keep my linux installs on their own hard drives makes life easier | 09:46 |
| phanindraramesh | hai all. when ever I open a text file in kde, it is opening along with another empty text document. how can I avoid it? | 09:46 |
| reisio | Asmir: Wubi installs into a _file_ inside Windows' own NTFS partition/filesystem | 09:46 |
| dr_willis | wubi dosent use disks. it makes its own hd image4 file.] | 09:46 |
| reisio | Asmir: you'd have to boot up to the install media to install to a separate partition space | 09:46 |
| Guest1 | well, everybody has told me to not use wubi, to use the cd | 09:47 |
| Asmir | yeah, I tried that reisio, but when I try to install, it gives me error something like root folder not defined | 09:47 |
| === ludo is now known as Guest99811 | ||
| reisio | Asmir: well I'm afraid that's too vague to get any help | 09:48 |
| k1l | well, wubi uses the space in the windows partition. but that causes some problems when windows does some changes. so IMHO in the longterm you should go with a "real" installation and not wubi | 09:48 |
| dr_willis | wubi on a raid. may mean it cant see the raid since windows is using special drivers to access tghe raid.. | 09:49 |
| dr_willis | wubi gets the thumbs down here also... | 09:49 |
| Asmir | yeah, I guess I should unraid the ssd disks, and use one for win and one for ubuntu | 09:49 |
| dr_willis | id reccomend installing linux to a 8gb or bigger flash drive.. over using wwubi... | 09:49 |
| dr_willis | ssd raids.. just seems overkill. | 09:49 |
| Asmir | yeah, could do that I guess, I left my 16 gb usb flash at work, damn it | 09:50 |
| Asmir | and I guess I cannot unraid ssds without loosing win 7 installation? | 09:50 |
| dr_willis | got a 32gb flash for under $30 the other day ;0 | 09:50 |
| Guest1 | gah! this latest install didnt work either. Now I get the message Try (hd0,0): Fat32 : error: "prefix" is not set | 09:50 |
| dr_willis | no idea. i dont use raids in windows. or linux | 09:50 |
| reisio | Asmir: would make it more complicated, anyways | 09:50 |
| dr_willis | see way way way too many raid issues in this channel to mess eith them. ;) | 09:50 |
| lucian | i just installed ubuntu 12.04 on an eee pc and it was fine. but now when it boots, i get a blank screen and the boot sound | 09:51 |
| reisio | lucian: can you hit CTRL+ALT+F2 to get to a console? | 09:51 |
| BlueEagle | lucian: Try disabling boot splash. | 09:51 |
| lucian | reisio: no | 09:51 |
| Asmir | anyway, thanks, I will try to unraid the ssds and do the dual install | 09:51 |
| lucian | and if i go to recovery mode, then normal boot, only half the screen works and there's graphical corruption | 09:51 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset | 09:52 |
| ubottu | 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 | 09:52 |
| lucian | i'll try that, if i can get to a console | 09:52 |
| Asmir | one more question, if I do dual install, one disk for win and one for ubuntu, would I be able to use ubuntu disk to install like triple boot with win, ubuntu and e.g. kubuntu? | 09:52 |
| mi3 | I have installed cairo-dock and am running it with no effects, when I hover down the mouse at the bottom of the window, the dock does not appear, I have enabled the setting, still it wont work, any suggestions ? | 09:52 |
| reisio | Asmir: yup | 09:52 |
| BlueEagle | lucian: Do you get the grub boot menu? | 09:52 |
| reisio | Asmir: you can also try KDE and Unity (GNOME 3) from a single Ubuntu install | 09:53 |
| dr_willis | Asmir: no ned to install kubuntu in its own partition. you can have both desktops on a single ubuntu install | 09:53 |
| lucian | BlueEagle: yeah, and the purple tinted blank screen afterwards. then it's black + boot sound | 09:53 |
| BlueEagle | lucian: Then edit the default boot entry and remove splash. | 09:53 |
| lucian | BlueEagle: and if i go through recovery mode, i get the graphical corruptions | 09:53 |
| lucian | BlueEagle: i think i might have to use the live usb for that | 09:53 |
| Asmir | ah I see, last time I used ubuntu was 2005, so lots has changed :D | 09:53 |
| dr_willis | Asmir: actually it was the same in 2005... ;) | 09:53 |
| BlueEagle | lucian: No, you press E to edit and then find the LINUX line and go to the end of that and remove where it sais -splash | 09:53 |
| dr_willis | Asmir: linux has supported multiable desktops since its been out. | 09:54 |
| Asmir | well I didn't have ssd back in 2005 :D | 09:54 |
| lucian | BlueEagle: ah | 09:54 |
| * dr_willis misses what ssd's have to do with Kubuntu and Ubuntu ;) | 09:54 | |
| Asmir | the problems I am having I meant :) | 09:55 |
| dr_willis | install ubuntu, install kubuntu-desktop package. select desktop at the login screen. | 09:55 |
| Asmir | because in 2005 did dual boot with no problem :) | 09:55 |
| lucian | BlueEagle: I removed the work "splash" from the line, i get the same thing | 09:55 |
| dr_willis | i imagine the raid is the issue.. not the ssds | 09:55 |
| Asmir | yeah, damn, didn't want to install win 7 all over again, will try to search if its possible to unraid without loosing wini 7 install, but I doubt it | 09:56 |
| Asmir | or I might just go ubuntu all the way and piss on win 7 :D | 09:56 |

| dr_willis | hello_hi: check out 'hotbabe' in the medibuntu repos perhaps. | 09:58 |
| sagarchalise | hi guys it is not a ubuntu specific question per say but i need to echo a command from bash script which includes something like `geany -g $PROJECT_PATH$GEANY_DIR$GEANY_TAGS$PROJECT_NAME'.'$FILETYPES'.tags' $(find $LIBRARY_PATH -name '*.$FILETYPES')` with proper variable replacement how do I do that | 09:59 |
| MonkeyDust | hotbabe is no longer there, already checked | 10:00 |
| Guest1 | Try (hd0,0): Fat32 : error: "prefix" is not set | 10:00 |
| dr_willis | MonkeyDust: weird.. i installed it just last week i belive | 10:00 |
| Guest1 | what does this mean? | 10:00 |
| Onkeltem | Would you recommend a e-reading application for Ubuntu which supports integration with dictionaries? I need click-on-a-word-to-translate function? | 10:00 |
| dr_willis | sagarchalise: i find with complex bash lines like that.. start small , test it. expand it.. | 10:00 |
| dr_willis | sagarchalise: use of $() instead of the backticks is also easier to read | 10:01 |
| MonkeyDust | dr_willis yes, but *you* are a geek, you find ways ;) | 10:01 |
| hello_hi | dr_willis i remember using hotbabe its very old and cartoon , whereas virtuagirl is very realistic and has more options | 10:01 |
| dr_willis | sagarchalise: and you may be using single quotes when you need to be using doublle quotes | 10:01 |
| dr_willis | MonkeyDust: just endalbed gthe repo and insgtalled it... | 10:01 |
| lucian | BlueEagle: yeah, same thing regardless of splash or acpi settings in boot | 10:01 |
| reisio | Guest1: probably that GRUB is confused about what you want to boot | 10:02 |
| BlueEagle | lucian: After you edited the line did you press F10 to boot or did you press ESC+Enter? | 10:02 |
| lucian | BlueEagle: F10 | 10:02 |
| Guest1 | reisio How do I tell it I want to boot ubuntu on the 2nd partition? | 10:02 |
| BlueEagle | lucian: Try adding this then: nomodeset | 10:03 |
| === Lebby1 is now known as LEbby | ||

| === LEbby is now known as Lebby | ||
| dr_willis | hello_hi: there may be google gadgets tha t might acomplis similer tasks also. | 10:04 |
| lucian | BlueEagle: not it boots to the login screen, but only half the screen is used, and there are graphical corruptions | 10:04 |
| dr_willis | lucian: the whole screen works in the bios menus? | 10:05 |
| BlueEagle | lucian: So removing splash and setting nomodeset doesn't fix it... Then I am not sure what to try next, sorry. :( | 10:05 |

| LjL | Onkeltem: Calibre has dict.org lookup, but as far as i can see it's only English-English | 10:05 |
| hello_hi | dr_wilis bundle of thanks . first i want to find my desried app which looks realistic like virtua and its sourcecode then willl try to make a chat bot out of it | 10:05 |
| sagarchalise | dr_willis: what I want is the command not to execute but just echo but its executing | 10:05 |
| BlueEagle | lucian: Do you have a camera so you can take a picture of the graphical corruption. The nature of it may help determine teh cause. | 10:05 |
| lucian | dr_willis: yes, and it also did using the live usb. but it had the same issue on the screen where you get to choose before "try ubuntu" and "install" | 10:05 |
| lucian | BlueEagle: i'll try to make a video | 10:06 |
| dr_willis | sagarchalise: just echo the whole line.. use single quotes to prevent bash-expansion of the variables around the whole line.. i belive... | 10:06 |
| BlueEagle | lucian: even better. Make sure to include some full frontal nudity as well! :D | 10:06 |
| dr_willis | sagarchalise: not on a ubuntu box to test but similer to.. echo ' this $VARIABLE is not parsed' | 10:07 |
| dr_willis | but... | 10:07 |
| iceroot | what is the best way to sync a folder (200 files, ~100mb) between different ubuntu-pcs, smartphone and a windows-pc? ubuntu-one? or do we have other options too? | 10:07 |
| dr_willis | sagarchalise: not on a ubuntu box to test but similer to.. echo "this $VARIABLE IS parsed" | 10:07 |
| dr_willis | iceroot: ubuntuone works very well | 10:07 |
| dr_willis | plus its 5gb for free. ;) | 10:10 |
| iceroot | dr_willis: but a cloud for critical data... | 10:10 |
| MonkeyDust | iceroot there's also dropbox and minus https://minus.com/pages/help | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | iceroot: if its critical. you should have redundant copies... | 10:10 |
| busfahrer | Hi. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, and a pretty default install of that. I used CompizConfig to configure it so that when I move the mouse to the bottom left corner, all the currently windows are exposed so I can pick one of them. This works, but when I log out and back in, it doesn't work anymore. When I check, the setting is still there, but it's being ignored. Any way to fix this? | 10:10 |
| iceroot | dr_willis: critical like "passwords" | 10:10 |
| sagarchalise | dr_willis: the first part of command echoes but it has nested find command which executes | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | iceroot: its a bit vage as to why/what you are wanting to do exactly | 10:10 |
| sagarchalise | dr_willis: how do i echo the nested command as well | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | sagarchalise: add another layer of ' ' | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | around the whole thing perhaps. | 10:10 |
| iceroot | dr_willis: sync keepass-files between different devices for example | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | my 'critical' data - are pictures of the grandkids... ;P | 10:10 |
| sagarchalise | dr_willis: it echoes with the variable name rather than the variable value on nested thing if i add quotes | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | sagarchalise: i thought that was what you wanted.. nothing expanede to the value. | 10:11 |

| lucian | dr_willis: BlueEagle: and it doesn't just happen in lightdm, i get the same behaviour after i log in | 10:12 |
| lucian | but it did work fine from the liveusb | 10:13 |
| sagarchalise | dr_willis: geany -g /home/sagar/Projects/nlocate/.geany/tags/djangotoolbox.py.tags $(find $LIBRARY_PATH -name "*.$FILETYPES") I would want those $variables to rreplace as well | 10:13 |

| skramer_ | busfahrer: I also found the same problem on my Ubuntu 12.04 box. To get it working, I have to start CCSM, uncheck the settings related to screen corners & then re-enable them. However, some reboots it works fine & sometimes you have to go back to CCSM... | 10:14 |
| dr_willis | bbl gotta head home. | 10:15 |
| sagarchalise | dr_willis: finally found out what my problem was thank for the help | 10:16 |
| busfahrer | skramer_: Yeah I know about that workaround. I don't want to set the setting each time. No fix? | 10:16 |
| BlueEagle | lucian: Well it definetly looks like a graphics driver error... And pressing CTRL+ALT+F2 doesn't give you a text terminal? What does it give you then? | 10:16 |
| lucian | BlueEagle: it does now, with nomodeset | 10:16 |
| lucian | terminal looks fine | 10:16 |
| BlueEagle | lucian: Ok, then you want to stop the login manager and simply run startx from the console. | 10:17 |
| skramer_ | busfahrer: unfortunately not. But do you have to set these settings each time you log in? | 10:17 |
| Onkeltem | LjL: its odd to get into such a trouble on a Desktop - not finding a reading application with translation abilities :) Even my android phone can do this. | 10:17 |
| skramer_ | busfahrer: myself, I found that it sometimes works without problems & sometimes I need the workaround... | 10:18 |
| lucian | BlueEagle: that seems to work perfectly! should i just replace lightdm with gdm or something? | 10:19 |
| BlueEagle | lucian: It is worth a shot. | 10:19 |
| sourcer_ | hello | 10:21 |
| sourcer_ | I'm having some problems connecting to samba from windows, can anyone give me some tips ? | 10:21 |
| BlueEagle | sourcer_: Try posting any error messages you may be receiving. | 10:22 |
| BlueEagle | sourcer_: Also make sure you have a samba user account on the server for whom ever you are trying to log in. | 10:22 |
| sourcer_ | BlueEagle: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password | 10:22 |
| sourcer_ | BlueEagle: I did a smbpasswd -a my_username | 10:23 |
| sourcer_ | and restarted samba | 10:23 |
| lucian | BlueEagle: ah, sadly gdm has graphical corruption too | 10:23 |
| sourcer_ | I tried almost everything I found online | 10:24 |
| BlueEagle | lucian: Then you can drop the login manager all together I guess. | 10:24 |
| lucian | BlueEagle: it does use more of the screen, i guess | 10:24 |
| sourcer_ | lucian: romanian ? | 10:24 |
| lucian | sourcer_: as it happens, yes | 10:24 |
| BlueEagle | sourcer_: When you log in do you use servername\username or just username? | 10:24 |
| sourcer_ | BlueEagle: I edited windows Credentials and put in only the username | 10:25 |
| sourcer_ | initialy it was using WINDOWS-PC\username | 10:25 |
| BlueEagle | try servername\username instead. See if that helps | 10:26 |

| cotigao_ | hi | 10:52 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, kidding actually... I did google but I kept finding ones that didn't work. | 10:52 |
| cotigao_ | i have written a small test application.. | 10:52 |
| cotigao_ | i created the necessary .desktop file & added the entry in /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/ | 10:52 |
| cotigao_ | i can see my app listed in under the "chat" icon in the tab | 10:52 |
| cotigao_ | but i was wondering how can i show some messages under the my app | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | oupateddie: what browsers have yu tested | 10:52 |
| jrib | Roasted: you should probably change /.JPG/ to /.JPG$/ in case you have files named like: AJPG.JPG :) | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: try duckduckgo too, different results | 10:52 |
| jrib | Roasted: you should probably change /.JPG/ to /\.JPG$/ in case you have files named like: AJPG.JPG :) | 10:53 |
| cotigao_ | for eg. for empathy/pidgin, the icon turns blue & shows the incoming message's ID name | 10:53 |

| JLuc | Hello | 11:22 |
| JLuc | i'm going to install ubuntu with dual boot on a brand new Windows 7 | 11:22 |
| rethus | someone run xvidcap on 12.04? | 11:22 |
| JLuc | i wish to share datas on a special partition | 11:22 |
| rethus | which sound device have i to choose, to record audio? | 11:22 |
| JLuc | and i wonder how big has ubuntu partition to be ? | 11:22 |
| bestdnd | my user works for a few days, and suddenly gets stuck. while it's stuck, i can't switch user, and after a reset, my user works again until the next time. i can copy my data to a new user, and work on it, but it will take a few days until its gets stuck again | 11:23 |
| geirha | JLuc: Depends on how much you'll be using it, but 30GB should be more than enough for the system itself. I wouldn't go much lower than 10G though | 11:23 |
| oupateddie | ActionParsnip it seems when I run Opera which uses that same plugins set as Firefox, is retursn with a plugin has crashed. | 11:23 |
| quixotedon | bestdnd: ok, so, your app might be a problem, have you tried upgrading it? | 11:24 |
| quixotedon | bestdnd: anyway, what version are you using? | 11:24 |
| JLuc | ok geirha does that include programs too ? | 11:24 |
| JLuc | on this other computer where i am now all files except home folder occupy 382Go !!! | 11:24 |
| bestdnd | amule 2.3.1 on ubuntu 12.04. it doesnt update itself with the regular updates? | 11:25 |
| JLuc | si i am a bit worried... | 11:25 |
| JLuc | and dont know if 30Go will be fit | 11:25 |
| geirha | JLuc: Yes, if you install alot of applications, you'll likely hit 10GB | 11:26 |
| wookienz_ | guys i need some help trouble shooting a computer or router issue. When i ssh , scp, ftp the computer stalls. I have tried without the router and it works fine. However with a router and it initially starts at a huge pace then dies. Router is Cisco e4200 with dd-wrt. Where do i start? | 11:26 |
| JLuc | Is it possible to change the data partition later once ubuntu has allready run ? | 11:26 |
| geirha | JLuc: The main space usage for an Ubuntu system is stuff like music and photos, but if you have a shared ntfs drive for that... | 11:26 |
| jiohdi | JLuc, possible yes, dangerous, maybe | 11:27 |
| JLuc | ok | 11:27 |
| JLuc | so i have to compute how much space is needed and organise things now | 11:27 |
| oupateddie | ActionParsnip : It seems as if Chrome has a different flash player. It so stupid that flash is not working after the upgrade to 11.10. I have a number of site which uses flash which I use to get information from and now they all seem to not work | 11:28 |
| bestdnd | used "sudo apt-get update" to update everything. amule version didn't change | 11:29 |
| jiohdi | oupateddie, you can down load a tar.gz from adobe... then just copy the lib. into /usr/share or some other shared folder and it tends to work | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | oupateddie: I always clean install, fewer issues :) | 11:30 |
| jiohdi | oupateddie, there is a mozilla folder you can drop it into that seems to let everything share it as well | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | bestdnd: did you run: sudo apt-get upgrade afterwards? | 11:30 |
| IdleOne | bestdnd, apt-get update only updates, you need to use sudo apt-get upgrade to actually upgrade the available packages | 11:30 |
| oupateddie | jiohdi thanks let me see as it is a bugger now.... that mozilla folder is that a dot folder in the home folder? | 11:31 |
| bestdnd | doing it now | 11:31 |
| JLuc | is it safer to resize the partitions later on jiohdi ? (than to change the data's partition) | 11:31 |
| reisio | "change the data's partition"? | 11:32 |
| JLuc | specify a special partition for datas | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | bestdnd: update only rereads the repos, which will see new versions of packages if there are any updates, upgrade wil install them | 11:33 |
| JLuc | pfff thats heavy system admin ... | 11:33 |
| JLuc | ;-) | 11:34 |
| geirha | JLuc: the latter is safer | 11:34 |
| reisio | JLuc: a 'data partition' is simply a partition that has no purpose, that you put data on :p | 11:34 |
| bestdnd | is there a way to schedule the upgrade? | 11:34 |
| geirha | resizing and moving partitions always has a risk to it; so always make sure you've backed up the important stuff before doing that. | 11:35 |
| mok0 | Trying to install nautilus-dropbox on Precise, it's stuck at "Downloading Dropbox 99%" | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | bestdnd: you could cron a script to run an unattended upgrade | 11:35 |
| jiohdi | oupateddie, user/. mozilla/plugins/ | 11:35 |
| bestdnd | how do i do that? | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | mok0: the dropbox servers are a bit busy maybe, or kill the process, fix the packages then restart the install | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | bestdnd: look into cron | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | bestdnd: or you can use gnome-schedule for a gui | 11:36 |
| mok0 | ActionParsnip: I've tried that a couple of times... removing the package and reinstalling | 11:37 |
| oupateddie | jiohdi thanks I'm busy downloading it. I then unpack this, corredct? Which files do I copy to the .mozilla/plugins folder? | 11:37 |
| jiohdi | oupateddie, it has a text file w/instructions but there is only one lib file to move | 11:39 |
| oupateddie | jiohdi sorry stupid again, do I move the lib file/folder to my home/user/.mozille file or to a folder in the system area? | 11:40 |
| jiohdi | oupateddie, you can do both... but to copy to a systems folder you have to be root | 11:40 |
| jiohdi | or sudo | 11:41 |
| bestdnd | when using gnome-schedule, to "apt-get upgrade", do i need sudo? do i need to enter the password somewhere? | 11:41 |
| oupateddie | jiohdi I have checked in the .mozilla folder there is no plugins folder, must I create one there and copy the unpacked tar in there? | 11:41 |
| jiohdi | bestdnd, just type sudo apt-get upgrade and it will prompt you for password | 11:42 |
| jiohdi | oupateddie, check the text file for instructions first... but you can sure | 11:42 |
| === miguel is now known as asm19 | ||
| bestdnd | is there a way to avoid the prompt for password every time? i want to to be unattended | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | bestdnd: you can cron as root, so no sudo needed :) | 11:43 |
| oupateddie | jiohdi will do that | 11:43 |
| IdleOne | bestdnd, I don't know about gnome-schedule but yes you need to use sudo to upgrade | 11:43 |
| jiohdi | bestbnd you can type sudo -s password at the prompt and it will give you permanent sudo until you type exit | 11:44 |
| JLuc | is an option proposed during install so as to install data on a dedicated partition (different than the system) ? (since i dont see that on the internet site install documentation, but i was once told this is how i should have done) | 11:44 |
| jiohdi | bestdnd, but be really careful what you run as sudo because running some user programs as root can mess things up big time | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | bestdnd: run: gksudo gnome-schedule and you can cron as root, make one job run to run: apt-get update then one 10 mins later to run: apt-get -y upgrade and you have automated upgrades :) | 11:45 |
| JLuc | or maybe this is in the "expert mode" | 11:45 |
| JLuc | (but i'm not sure i'm an expert !!!) | 11:46 |

| asad2005 | ActionParsnip: its a synology server | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | asad2005: what does it use to share the files? | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | asad2005: samba? sftp? ftp? | 11:54 |
| asad2005 | i can set it as nfs or samba at least | 11:56 |
| JLuc | yes SkippersBoss i want /home in a dedicated partition and look forward on the way to achieve this while installing ubuntu | 11:58 |
| MonkeyDust | JLuc select 'something else', then create a / a /home and a swap partition ... you can do this with gparted, while in the live session | 11:59 |
| === miguel is now known as Guest46144 | ||
| ActionParsnip | asad2005: samba will make it easily accessible over LAN and easy to backup | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | MonkeyDust: set 10Gb as /, same amount as swap as you have RAM and the rest for /home | 12:00 |
| MonkeyDust | ActionParsnip I already have it, I was advising JLuc | 12:00 |
| IdleOne | ActionParsnip, I am finding that 10GB for / is not enough anymore. | 12:01 |
| MonkeyDust | idd, I have 15GB / | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | IdleOne: really, my installs rarely go above 4Gb | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | JLuc: see above | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | MonkeyDust: d'oh :) | 12:01 |
| === Guest46144 is now known as asm19 | ||
| IdleOne | ActionParsnip, yeah the install is about 4 but after you start installing all kinds of stuff it grows pretty fast. 10GB should be enough for most users though. | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | IdleOne: try uninstalling what you don't use as well as adding ;) | 12:02 |
| SkippersBoss | Jluc: Like monkeydust suggest during the install when you will be ask to partion your drive just select "something else" although i am quiet sure this option is called Manual in the installation process :-) | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | IdleOne: I always rip out a tonne of guff that is in a default install | 12:03 |
| geirha | If you install all the games from the latest humblebundle, it'll probably use 5-6GB | 12:03 |
| IdleOne | Anyway, I took us off topic. sorry folks. | 12:03 |
| JLuc | the swap will also find place in the newly created / partition ? | 12:04 |
| geirha | JLuc: No, swap has its own partition | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | geirha: urban terror is probably the biggest game I play :) | 12:04 |

| === sattu94 is now known as satyanash | ||
| reisio | doesn't matter, why would you install 10.04 | 12:14 |
| qdb | reisio, this netbook is not mine, its owner has said he dislikes unity and gnoem3 and they are buggy . i am not sure whether it is possible to install gnoem 2 to them... i asked him he said it is possible as i remember | 12:16 |
| ikonia | qdb: gnome 2 is dead | 12:17 |
| qdb | ikonia, stable debian uses it ) and also it uses firefox 3..... | 12:17 |
| ikonia | qdb: that does mean it's not dead, gnome 2 is dead. You should consider a migration plan | 12:18 |
| morsnowski | qdb: i hate unity with a passion but i can tell you from experience with 12.04 and gnome 3 that it works great | 12:18 |
| morsnowski | get 12.04 install gnome and you are golden | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | qdb: gnome2 is dead, install xfce is my suggestion | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip | morsnowski: the default Ubuntu install uses Gnome already, no need to install anything else if you want Gnome | 12:19 |
| morsnowski | ActionParsnip, maybe it's my fault but when 12.04 came out of the box i did not have a gnome desktop available | 12:20 |

| ActionParsnip | qdb: the 3.4 kernel is not suitable for Lucid | 12:24 |
| qdb | ActionParsnip, why ? | 12:25 |
| mint_ | ActionParsnip: I need help regarding the fs of the 2mb partition and how to make it active AND install grub | 12:25 |
| qdb | ActionParsnip, as i know people have compiled it to get intel gma 3600 driver | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | qdb: if it was it would be in the repos, wouldn't it | 12:27 |
| qdb | ActionParsnip, yes | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | qdb: the 3.4 kernel is in Quantal which is currently pre-release | 12:27 |

| qdb | btw i am downloading quantal | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | qdb: quantal is supported in #ubuntu+1 until release day in October | 12:30 |
| qdb | ok thank you | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | mint_: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 12:30 |
| OerHeks | wingnut2626, jaunty is EOL, so you better put something new on your mobile thing. | 12:35 |

| alex_under | echo "suspend" > level | 12:54 |
| alex_under | bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument | 12:54 |
| Teth | aren't SSD drives write once? | 12:55 |
| Teth | if so, how do I handle using it for ubuntu? | 12:55 |
| Teth | is there support for it? | 12:55 |
| Sling | how can i permanently set my resolv.conf without loosing it on reboots? | 12:55 |
| Teth | I am pretty sure I would have to place my swap partition, applications, and everything that isn't the OS itself on the HDD | 12:55 |
| DJones | Teth: No, SSD's are just like a big USB key, rewriteable etc | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | alex_under: try my command | 12:56 |
| Teth | really. a few years ago a friend was telling me that they were write once | 12:56 |
| Teth | how much rewriting can they sustain? | 12:56 |
| alex_under | ActionParsnip: tried it | 12:56 |
| alex_under | Still Invalid argument: level | 12:56 |
| Teth | also, how can I create a clean separation between my OS and applications installed on the SSD and data/media files/personal info/projects on the HDD | 12:57 |
| spaceman | Sling: set a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | alex_under: as root would be: echo "suspend" | tee /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb1/1-2/power/level | 12:57 |
| L3top | It is interesting alex_under. It does not appear that that is a valid state... and it will not allow the write. | 12:57 |
| mint_ | someone please suggest to mark guid partition as 'active' | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Teth: you'd make a seperate /home partition in the install and your user data and settings will be seperate to the OS files, this is ideally stored on a platter based drive :) | 12:58 |
| Kingsy | guys, I am on my machine right now.. and my mouse seems to have crashed.. | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | mint_: use fdisk, its got near zero meaning in Linux though | 12:58 |
| Kingsy | it moves but I cant click on anything.. | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Kingsy: unload and reload the psmouse module | 12:58 |
| Kingsy | the pc is still fine however because I can type (lol as you can see) | 12:58 |
| Kingsy | ActionParsnip: how? | 12:59 |
| hyper_ch | hi there, I'm trying to debootstrap ubuntu but whenever I chroot into the rootfs to run the second stage I get: bash: /debootstrap/debootstrap: No such file or directory | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Kingsy: sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sleep 2; sudo modprobe psmouse | 12:59 |
| spaceman | Sling: sorry use /etc/dhcp/dhcpclient.conf using prepend domain-name-servers | 12:59 |
| Sling | spaceman: its set to static already | 13:00 |
| mint_ | ActionParsnip: fdisk is for MBR only..I guess and can corrupt partition...if only ubuntu had cgdisk a cfdisk like program | 13:00 |
| Sling | ill check the domain-name-servers | 13:00 |

| inashdeen | can anyone point me to translators irc? | 13:01 |
| Teth | I suppose that was a really silly question to ask. I could have not been lazy and looked at my file hierarchy to figure that much out :P | 13:01 |
| Teth | still, are there any other places I should look in order to keep application data on the platter? | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | !info cfdisk | 13:01 |
| ubottu | Package cfdisk does not exist in precise | 13:01 |
| Sling | spaceman: so its dns-nameservers in /etc/network/interfaces, can I add search and domain there too? | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | mint_: why do you want to mark a partition as active? | 13:02 |
| drPoo | how can I mount a remote drive using sshfs automatically at startup?? The command that Im using is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054206/ | 13:02 |

| spaceman | Sling: prepend domain-name-servers is in /etc/dhcp/dhcpclient.conf not /etc/network/interface (my mistake), if you restart your interface now you will screw it up | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip | mint_: it doesn't make any difference if you use Grub. | 13:03 |
| Sling | spaceman: im not using dhcp | 13:03 |
| c0rnel | hello all | 13:05 |
| Kingsy_ | ActionParsnip: this is impossible.. | 13:05 |
| spaceman | Sling: if that's the case then /etc/resolv.conf shouldn't change | 13:05 |
| Kingsy_ | how do you use the keyboard to alternate between terminal tabs? | 13:05 |
| c0rnel | is there a way to install a 64bit virtual machine in ubuntu? | 13:05 |
| spaceman | Sling: you can have a static IP but a dynamic DNS server | 13:06 |
| alex_under | L3top: now it makes sense, thanks. | 13:06 |
| Kingsy_ | anyone.. how do you alternate through terminal tabs using the keyboard? | 13:06 |
| zykotick9 | c0rnel: do you get coloured output from "egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo --color=always"? | 13:07 |
| L3top | Kingsy_: I would detatch them with Ctrl Shift H and alt tab like a human. | 13:07 |
| Sling | spaceman: i have a fixed dns server, fixed dns search + domain and fixed ip address | 13:07 |
| Sling | and in /etc/network/interfaces i have no dhcp anywhere | 13:07 |
| Kingsy_ | L3top: Ctrl shift H does nothing | 13:07 |
| L3top | np alex_under. I learned something out of it, so thanks! | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Kingsy_: tried Unity2D session? | 13:07 |
| L3top | sorry Kingsy_... I am in KDE | 13:07 |
| Kingsy_ | ActionParsnip: no, I don't know what that is. | 13:07 |
| drPoo | how can I mount a remote drive using sshfs automatically at startup?? The command that Im using is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054206/ | 13:08 |
| Kingsy_ | ActionParsnip: I tried restarting the mouse but I could remember what you typed.. and I couldnt go back to check.. | 13:08 |
| Kingsy_ | total nightmare | 13:08 |
| spaceman | Sling: then what's the problem? | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Kingsy_: log off, and click the ubuntu logo near your nick and select Unity2D, then log in | 13:08 |
| Sling | spaceman: resolv.conf being empty after a reboot | 13:08 |
| c0rnel | zykotick9, i'm asking for a friend, so it may take some time until i'll get the answer | 13:08 |
| Sling | but now i've put it in interfaces and it seems to work after a networking restart | 13:08 |
| Kingsy_ | ActionParsnip: what will that do? | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Kingsy_: means yu will be using Metacity instead of stupid compiz | 13:09 |
| Kingsy_ | ActionParsnip: cant I just restart something as you mentioned? | 13:09 |
| L3top | if he can click... | 13:09 |
| zykotick9 | c0rnel: i see. that string determines if your CPU supports virtualization - you'll need it to create 64bit VMs | 13:09 |
| Sling | i guess the init script for interfaces fills resolv.conf with whatever is prepended with dns- | 13:09 |
| c0rnel | zykotick9, i see, so maybe something is disabled in bios | 13:10 |
| zykotick9 | c0rnel: that's possible as well | 13:10 |
| spaceman | yes in addition to the servers set by dhcp | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Kingsy: sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sleep 2; sudo modprobe psmouse | 13:10 |
| L3top | <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sleep 2; sudo modprobe psmouse | 13:11 |
| zykotick9 | c0rnel: 64bit VMs makes almost no sense... (are they giving it 4GB+ RAM?) | 13:11 |
| Sling | just the dns-domain i set isnt there, but hostname -f still reports the domain extension | 13:11 |
| Sling | perhaps thats only on reboot | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: virtual SQL servers love 64bit goodness | 13:11 |
| SkippersBoss | actionparsnip: he said Almost :-) | 13:12 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: i can see it for specific use cases - but there are only a couple, and for stuff like that - i'd think a native setup would be better ;) | 13:12 |
| c0rnel | zykotick9, ok, we have vmx | 13:12 |
| c0rnel | in output | 13:12 |
| zykotick9 | c0rnel: that's intel's Virtualiaztion - so it should be possible :) | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: oh true but if you have acres of RAM and loads of CPU power it's good (we do it here :D ) | 13:13 |
| spaceman | Sling: the only explanation I have is that your static DNS are being overridden by DCHP or by network manager, prepend domain-name-server would be a temporary solution | 13:13 |

| ActionParsnip | ffv: the partner one.. | 13:53 |
| warloch | com-puter | 13:54 |
| OerHeks | warloch, how much ram depends on the services you want. and the things you do, but usually less than you used to use. | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | warloch: you can access up to 64Gb in 32bit in Ubuntu as it uses the PAE kernel by default | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | warloch: 64bit can effectively access up to 4Eb of RAM | 13:54 |
| warloch | so, I can run the x32 ubuntu and access up to 64gigs of ram? | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | warloch: yes with the PAE kernel, its the 32bit kernel with a cheap hack to access more RAM | 13:55 |
| ffv | ActionParsnip: can you be more precise because I'm a new user~~ Like pasting the url? PLEASE | 13:55 |
| JAZANTHEPUSS | ActionParsnip I added those lines | 13:55 |

| linux_is_my_hero | all hail mandalord, lol | 14:33 |
| JAZANTHEPUSS | added a new admin on computer but they are not showing up on the login screen | 14:33 |

| kodo_ | ok | 14:34 |
| geirha | linux_is_my_hero: hm. keyboard not working in grub is unrelated to xmodmap, but that it works in lightdm was surprising. Perhaps lighhtdm is reading your .Xmodmap too. | 14:34 |

| drPoo | ki4ro, Ive seen that article. But my OS is already installed and I would like to use parted | 14:40 |
| linux_is_my_hero | geirha: i mean it only works during the bios and post test, once it goes to load ubuntu it doesn't work | 14:41 |
| drPoo | ki4ro, in particular I do not know how to mark a disk for use in raid with PARTED ala fdisk | 14:41 |

| OerHeks | JAZANTHEPUSS, added users should be visible ?all i know is that i entered my account name first time loging in. | 14:41 |
| linux_is_my_hero | geirha: also after I rebooted to test the xmodmap file it froze so now it goes to the grub menu to let me pick which kernel to load, and because its not responding to the keyboard, my comptuer is useless | 14:41 |
| Mandalord | samuel: videos on web such as youtube? | 14:42 |

| Mandalord | srr in firefox | 14:44 |
| geirha | linux_is_my_hero: You might need to change something in the BIOS to make the keyboard work during boot. | 14:45 |
| linux_is_my_hero | wow. this sucks. i think ill just reinstall and not have a light-up keyboard. | 14:46 |

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 | 14:58 |

| Twinlator | L3top: I have learn about Clonezilla, but i think it is a little difficult. | 15:15 |
| L3top | Twinlator: It is very simple... but it can seem confusing because of the number of options you have available with regards to whole disk/partition backup to whatever location you want. What are you trying to back up to? | 15:17 |

| L3top | Ok so you will load clonezilla, you will do a partition clone, you will select the destination partition/folder to drop the image in, select the partition to be cloned, and it will do what it does. Just pay attention to the verbiage and use the default options. | 15:21 |

| zeroasterisk | excellent — thanks guys, I will read this and attempt implementation… I'll come back when done | 15:30 |
| L3top | I was not sure about nomodeset... I was going to suggest a quick hack. Will save it in case that fails zeroasterisk. | 15:30 |

| zeroasterisk | wylde, ubottu, L3top: one point of clarification on "nomodeset" before i go off… should I re-install the OS with this flag set? since I can't get to a shell, i can't setup in the current environment… further, i'll restate that the install process and boot up and all the way to login prompt all work fine… pretty display and all… but post login it craps out. still think "nomodeset" is the way to go? | 15:33 |
| JLuc | so i am now at it | 15:34 |
| JLuc | installing | 15:34 |
| JLuc | there was 110Gb free partition | 15:35 |
| L3top | zeroasterisk: you should be able to get to a grub menu which will give you the ability to add the parameter with an edit (I believe tab key) if you hit shift like a crazy man during boot. | 15:35 |
| morsnowski | zeroasterisk, no press esc when booting to get into the grub menu | 15:35 |
| morsnowski | too late as usual | 15:35 |
| JLuc | the "other wat" option proposes to create / change partitions si i created a swap space and a ext4 partition for system | 15:35 |
| JLuc | but now there is no way to create a NTFS partition with left sapec | 15:36 |
| JLuc | space | 15:36 |
| OerHeks | JLuc, you can do that after installation | 15:36 |
| theGrg | How do I go about resizing my ext4 / partition? | 15:36 |
| JLuc | NTFS option has disappeared since i created the ext4 partition | 15:36 |
| JLuc | i have 50Go free space that i could use for that partition | 15:37 |
| JLuc | so its not a matter of size | 15:37 |
| L3top | theGrg, gparted | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | theGrg: run a full backup, then boot to liveCD and you can do it there | 15:37 |
| JLuc | i want /home on that NTFS partition | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | JLuc: it causes issues | 15:37 |
| kodo_ | has anyone installed eclipse for java developers and android sdk on ubuntu 12.04? | 15:37 |
| L3top | theGrg: listen to ActionParsnip. | 15:37 |
| JLuc | ??? | 15:37 |
| theGrg | ActionParsnip I just resize it with gparted? | 15:37 |
| theGrg | No extra steps? | 15:37 |
| JLuc | i want to share docs with w7 | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | JLuc: you can have your user data like pictures and junk on NTFS, just not things like config folders for apps and such | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip | JLuc: see above | 15:38 |
| JLuc | yes i agree | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip | theGrg: yes resize away, the partition must be unmounted | 15:38 |
| JLuc | so the solution is to not use /home for my docs ? | 15:38 |
| theGrg | Alright thanks. | 15:38 |
| JLuc | but use a dedicated /mydocs in a dedicated partition... | 15:39 |
| JLuc | :-/ | 15:39 |
| Mr | ActionParsnip: the advice withe the time managment comand dosent work how i accpect | 15:39 |
| OerHeks | JLuc, you don't need NTFS to share docs, you could use samba | 15:39 |
| JLuc | using samba just to share docs on the same computer seems a bit overtoomuch for me... | 15:40 |
| zeroasterisk | wylde, ubottu, L3top: well, i hit shift on boot and got into grub… and it immediatly started saying "out of range" again on my monitor. POST/BIOS and my RAID all displayed normally, just fine until GRUB would display, then "out of range". I thought this was so strange I just switched out my monitor for a spare and I'm still getting it. | 15:40 |
| JLuc | i'm no expert | 15:40 |
| SkippersBoss | JLUC: You do NOT want your home partition to be NFTS | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | JLuc: you don't use samba to share docs between OS es on the same physical system | 15:41 |
| OerHeks | JLuc, then add a NTFS partition after installation | 15:41 |
| JLuc | okok i was told it too SkippersBoss , because of programm configs | 15:41 |
| MonkeyDust | JLuc /home also contains technical config files of your programs, not just personal docs | 15:41 |
| JLuc | yes | 15:41 |
| JLuc | ok | 15:41 |
| ActionParsnip | JLuc: keep an NTFS partition and download all your images and junk to that, keep your actual home folder as Ext4 or you will get issues | 15:41 |
| SkippersBoss | Jluc, we didn't mean to "shoot you down" sorry | 15:42 |
| JLuc | okok | 15:42 |

What I would do at this point is boot a live disk, chroot into the install, cp /etc/X11/default-display-manager /etc/X11/ddm; echo "/bin/false" > /etc/X11/default-display-manager and see if I could boot to terminal to try and figure this stuff out. | 15:44 |
| JLuc | 10 go for swap is probably too much isnt ? | 15:44 |

| Onkeltem | sk8|: unfort. not yet. | 16:05 |
| sk8| | gmi_, did you do it manually or via the gui? | 16:07 |
| gmi_ | manually | 16:08 |
| Scrooge | Does anyone know is there any upper limit on the number of OS one can have on his system, considering he has no limit on the disk space? | 16:08 |
| gmi_ | I ran "apt-get update -t precise-proposed" and then "apt-cache policy dnsmasq-base" | 16:08 |
| sk8| | Scrooge, at one time i think the max was like 3 maybe 4 | 16:09 |
| sk8| | this may have changed but the MBR could only handle a few if i recall correctly | 16:09 |
| lapion | Scrooge, depends on how many grub mbr's you want | 16:09 |
| lapion | I'd say that ther eis no limit sk8| | 16:10 |
| sk8| | last time was years ago | 16:10 |
| Scrooge | how do i decide the number of mbrs? | 16:10 |
| sk8| | so it very well could have changed | 16:10 |
| Scrooge | sk8l, what/who decided that? | 16:10 |
| lapion | Scrooge, each hdd has an mbr, you can install on each mbr a grub loader and let them chain load each other | 16:11 |
| sk8| | decided what | 16:11 |
| samster34 | heya, I'm trying to wipe a disk form a live ubuntu...but using dd from /dev/zero and/or dev/urandom is just soooo slooowwwwww. Is there any way to monitor th eprogress of a ATA secure erase? or estimate beforehand how long it will take? | 16:11 |
| idlephilosopher | Any pointers to a good tutorial on setting up xmonad in 12.04? | 16:11 |
| sk8| | it was just a limitation of the MBR at one time | 16:11 |
| Scrooge | the max no of OS should be 3/4 | 16:11 |
| Scrooge | and now more than that | 16:11 |
| sk8| | technology obviously changes | 16:11 |
| Scrooge | oh yes, fine | 16:11 |
| oldschool | hi does anyone know how to install thumbnail me on ubuntu 12.04 or 10.04 caues when i try to install useing ubuntu 10.04 with gdeb package installer it freezes up and wot install it and with useing ubuntu 12.04 ubuntu software centre it starts to install but never installs it is there any other of installing this program | 16:12 |
| Scrooge | lapion, so one hdd has one mbr, is it? | 16:12 |
| JLuc | i knew the partitions in w7, and the only way i had to recognise these partitions in ubuntu was their size : neither the position nor the name were the same | 16:12 |
| lapion | samster34, just use badblocks -vvwt 0x00 /dev/sd??? | 16:12 |
| JLuc | its quite frightening | 16:12 |
| JLuc | if the partition size had been the same i could not have recognised them | 16:13 |
| JLuc | or i could have forgotten | 16:13 |
| MonkeyDust | JLuc correct, linux works with partitions, that is, parts of a HDD | 16:13 |
| samster34 | lapion: ? I want to wipe the disk,not find bad sectors | 16:13 |
| lapion | Scrooge, yes but each partition can have it's own boot sector and if you install grub on the mbr or as a boot partition you can infinitely boot from one partition to another.. | 16:13 |
| JLuc | for such important consequences as destroying a partition in installing ubuntu, i would expect to be more aware of what is proposed exactly | 16:13 |
| lapion | samster34, overwrites the drive with 0x00 and verifies if the write was correct | 16:14 |
| zeroasterisk | wylde, ubottu, L3top: using the live CD I was able to set GRUB to console only, and I edited the grub file to do "nomodeset" and now I can get to the prompt on CTRL+ALT+F2… hooray for progress… the GUI is still crapped out after login, but at least I can get in and do stuff... | 16:14 |

| lapion | you can break the process once it has finished writing and is starting the reading part... | 16:16 |
| nibbier | iptables -I OUTPUT -f -d $HOST -j DROP; ping -s30000 $HOST <-- this should only let the fragments leave my box that start the package, right? (is not working, receiving host sees all fragments, and replies :( | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip | zeroasterisk: use the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 | 16:16 |
| samster34 | lapion: still, I'm looking at weeks of wipe time here | 16:16 |
| lapion | samster34, you can also use different block sized for dd.. | 16:16 |
| Kartagis | I am on 12.04, chrome never sits in the running programs list when you do alt+tab | 16:17 |
| Kartagis | why is that? | 16:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: are you using Unity or Unity2D? | 16:17 |
| sk8| | Scrooge, after a brief look around I continue to see 4 as the number and beyond that there may be some added difficulties | 16:17 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip: I'm not sure, how do I check? | 16:17 |
| L3top | zeroasterisk: you could also sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 16:17 |
| Scrooge | can u explain what might be the difficulties | 16:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: run: ps -ef | grep compiz | grep -v grep do you get an output | 16:18 |
| Kartagis | unity is on the left tho | 16:18 |
| lapion | samster34, as writing 512byte sectors it usually requires 15 reads and 16 writes to overwrite a 4k block hdd | 16:18 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip: I get /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/compiz-decorator along with compiz | 16:19 |
| sk8| | there is a limit to the number of primary partitions that can be created | 16:19 |
| Scrooge | what difference does it make, if I install an OS on a primary partition or on an extended partition.. | 16:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: then its Unity, not 2D. If you use a different ALT+TAB plugin is it there? | 16:19 |
| sk8| | you could create extended partition beyond that in side those primary partitions | 16:19 |
| ActionParsnip | sk8|: 4 is max | 16:19 |
| Shano56 | possible to burn and install ubuntu with a cd-r ? :) | 16:19 |
| ActionParsnip | sk8|: oh, thought you were askin | 16:20 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip: I don't | 16:20 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip: it's a fresh install | 16:20 |

| Amalirr23 | ахренеть | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: yes, its in a default install | 16:20 |
| sk8| | ActionParsnip, he wants to know if there is a limit to the number of OS's taht can be installed | 16:20 |
| sk8| | I say Yes | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: try using the ring switcher instead | 16:20 |
| sk8| | lapion, says unlimited | 16:20 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip: where is that? | 16:20 |
| sk8| | Scrooge, you could install more than 2 linux distro on the 2 ext# partitions but the shared resources between say bds and debian may not play nice | 16:21 |
| Kartagis | simple-ccsm | 16:21 |
| lapion | sk8|, nope you can also boot from extended partitions | 16:21 |
| Shano56 | anyone know - [09:19] <Shano56> possible to burn and install ubuntu with a cd-r ? :) | 16:21 |

| FireAllianceNX | --verbose | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | sk8|: I believe you can have a large number of logical partitions, it will be finite | 16:23 |
| lapion | samster34, you need to specify to dd what size blocks to write | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: in ccsm | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: or simple-ccsm, either is fine | 16:23 |
| sk8| | Scrooge, the test will to be to try it | 16:24 |
| lapion | samster34, dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sd? bs=4k | 16:24 |
| Kartagis | yea, I get ccsm in alt-f2, it doesn't start | 16:24 |
| zeroasterisk | ActionParsnip, L3top: thanks… I tried [apt-get install nvidia-current] and it said it was already installed and current… i also found [apt-get install nouveau-firmware] but not sure if that would help me out… here's my /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054522/ | 16:24 |
| lapion | samster34, or check what the optimal block size is | 16:24 |
| samster34 | lapion: yeah I tried a few and 4K seesm to be faster | 16:24 |
| Scrooge | hahaha, i would need a spare hdd for that then! :P kidding | 16:24 |
| samster34 | lapion: although there isnt much fo a difference between 4K and 32M... | 16:25 |
| Shano56 | I repeated myself because the channel is moving pretty fast and a lot of people are joining and timing out :P thanks though! | 16:25 |
| Scrooge | anyway, thanks sk8l for the info! | 16:25 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip: how can I disable all and switch to alt+tab? I'm most comfortable with that | 16:26 |
| llutz | samster34: lapion you want to use /dev/zero, not /dev/null | 16:26 |
| samster34 | llutz: yeah | 16:26 |
| samster34 | copying from /dev/zero with bs=4K gives me a speed of 110MB/s, 7dev/urandom gives me 6.5MB/s | 16:27 |
| sk8| | Scrooge, i've never had more than 3 | 16:27 |
| lapion | Scrooge, given that the avarage minimal size for a linux install is 8G you could split up a 1tb into a a lot of partitions given the fact that the /dev/ only gives you room for 16 ( unless you specify at boot differently) | 16:27 |
| Scrooge | sk8l, we usually don't feel the need to | 16:27 |
| sk8| | i'm not sure of the actual in practice limitation or difficulties involved | 16:28 |
| Scrooge | is 16 the max no of partitions, lapion | 16:28 |
| mbeierl | samster34, random number generation from /dev/random is very cpu intensive. it produces data at a very low rate | 16:28 |

| colin_ | i dont get how to edit PLACES menu | 16:31 |
| pandu | hey, ineed help about my libre office | 16:32 |
| mbeierl | samster34, well, as I'm not a forensic specialist, I cannot confirm that it will completely erase things. The only way to be completely sure is to do permanent physical damage. However, a series of different (00 then FF, or others) is effectively the same as a series of random numbers as it is the subsequent writes that I think you want | 16:32 |
| lapion | Scrooge, you have to hack the kernel, and I do not know if grub accepts it | 16:32 |
| samster34 | mbeierl: and what about using the ATA secure erase command | 16:32 |

| SunTsu | samster34: if you want to be sure use DBAN - overwriting once or twice with random stuff should be enough, except you know people who would pay lots of money to recover your data | 16:33 |

| samster34 | lapion: yeah, /dev/null finishes in less than a second ;) | 16:34 |
| Scrooge | thanks lapion! | 16:34 |
| lapion | overwriting everything with any value will erase good enough | 16:34 |
| mbeierl | samster34, where are the disks going after the wipe? and how sensitive was the old information? Unless you really, really need to protect them, a simple pass with dd ought to be good enough | 16:34 |
| samster34 | SunTsu: I can't seem to run dban. in fact I can't run any linux without specifying the "noapic" kernel boot option, but I don't know how to boot dban with that option | 16:34 |
| lapion | samster34, there a no mythical methods for extracting data from hdd once everything has been overwritten.. | 16:35 |
| mbeierl | lapion, just checking - you do know that /dev/null is EOF immediately and therefore nothing is actually written :) | 16:35 |
| lapion | samster34, unless of course during the lifespan of the hdd it has had many sector reallocations.. | 16:36 |
| Scrooge | Hey, I had another doubt, how do I edit the labels on the top menu in my Ubuntu 11.10, such as "Turn Off" for "Shut Down...". Which file do I edit? | 16:36 |

| colin_ | this is gonna screw thigns up, i can tell | 16:46 |
| colin_ | would rather just do it the normal way | 16:46 |
| tking | for instance a friend of mine installed dreamweaver on his linux but I can't am getting an error | 16:46 |
| tking | same version | 16:46 |
| ActionParsnip | colin_: it just installs a package to install java 1.7 for your system and web browser | 16:46 |
| ActionParsnip | tking: did you check the appdb for guidance? | 16:46 |
| colin_ | no | 16:47 |
| tking | never heard of appdb | 16:47 |
| BluesKaj_ | mhalligan, best to purge an app to get rid of it's config files then reboot and install again , if that's what you're looking for. | 16:47 |
| tking | let me google appdb | 16:47 |
| ActionParsnip | tking: well now you have, go check it out :) | 16:47 |
| MonkeyDust | tking use windows in vbox to use dreamweaver | 16:47 |
| ActionParsnip | or use bluefish | 16:47 |
| ActionParsnip | or kompozer | 16:48 |
| ActionParsnip | etc | 16:48 |

If I try to change the settings for this in the System configuration it won't save the values I set. Can anyone help me with this? | 16:48 |

| colin_ | places | 16:48 |
| marco | there's a very good html editor that is not very popular called BlueGriffon | 16:48 |
| ActionParsnip | !minimal | manski | 16:49 |
| ubottu | manski: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 16:49 |
| manski | thanks, I will try this | 16:49 |
| bjrohan | I could use some help with my network connections via various desktops. I messed something up | 16:49 |
| Shano56 | okay i have one more question, I got the ubuntu instalation on the cd, and its on the installtion screen. I currently have a windows 7 partition and a OEM recovery partition. I already have everything i want off of it, so i want to compeletely wipe the hard drive clean and install ubuntu, so there is only ubuntu MBR, files, and partitions on the laptop. How would I go about doing this? Last | 16:49 |
| Shano56 | time I tried running the installer, it just automatically added it alongside windows, and made it a dualboot. I dont want that | 16:49 |
| marco | tking: there's a very good html editor that is not very popular called BlueGriffon | 16:49 |
| FireAllianceNX | Just installed ubuntu on VMWare, but the resolution is super high, where can I change it with keyboard shortcuts? I can't click very well lol | 16:50 |
| tking | macro thanks, i am familiar with it | 16:50 |
| Scrooge | Shano56, i think the installer asks you whether to install alongside or remove Windows and install only Ubuntu | 16:50 |
| tking | <mbeierl> seen it appdb but my dreamweaver is there | 16:50 |
| bjrohan | I was running Ubuntu wtih stock Unity (uity 3D doesn't work on my laptop). I installed Enlightenmen for poops and giggles, which I installed connman as suggested. I went back to Unity, and no internet, so I tried reinstalling network manager, that is where it has all gone awry | 16:51 |
| Shano56 | Scrooge, okay i didn't see that last time. Now that i think about it, it was kubuntu that i installed last time. | 16:51 |
| Shano56 | i will see if it asks :p | 16:51 |

| Konichua | Hello! I have a problem with my ubuntu. Well, it isn't a problem as such.. | 16:52 |
| Konichua | How do I bind keys? | 16:52 |
| Orpheon | I'm having trouble compiling the Crystal Space 3d engine. The tutorials and readmes and stuff say that one should first execute "./configure" and then "make", followed by executing a demo program. Here's the log of the configure; http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054397/ and as for the log of make, here is what fitted in the console log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054435/ Any ideas? | 16:52 |
| arey_ | BluesKaj_: done,it doesn't do anything :/ | 16:52 |
| Scrooge | even if it doesn't Shano56, while alloting partitions, just format the partition on which Windows is installed and overwrite it with Ubuntu :) | 16:52 |
| Konichua | I am on 11.04 I think, maybe 11.10 or 12.04 | 16:53 |
| Scrooge | got is Shano56? | 16:53 |
| Scrooge | got it, i meant... :P | 16:53 |
| zallx | any sony ps vita sdk for linux ? | 16:54 |
| zallx | howto port it from win to linux ? | 16:54 |
| oldschool | glitsj16 ffmpegthumbnailer yeah lil hard to use i was trying to install thumbnail me but wont install | 16:54 |
| BluesKaj_ | ok, I posted it just you explained what you had done. arey_ ...try sudo dpkg --clear-avail | 16:54 |
| Shano56 | Scrooge, okay, do i do that after the installation ? :) | 16:54 |
| Scrooge | while installation, it will ask you to allot partitions, may i know, whether it is the first/second time that you are dual booting? | 16:55 |
| rohan1 | sorry, if anyone responded to my plight for networking, I lost my connection | 16:56 |
| Shano56 | this is the second time, but it is on a different computer | 16:56 |
| BluesKaj_ | arey_, if all else fails , check the /var/log files for the dependency errors and remove the dependency conflicts with , sudo dpkg --remove --force-depends nameofpackage(s) | 16:57 |
| Shano56 | lets just say dual-booting wasn't a good experience :p | 16:57 |
| Scrooge | that's fine, so it asks you to either allocate space automatically(not recommended) or you allocate manually, which i recommend | 16:57 |
| arey_ | BluesKaj_: I tried that as well. No luck. Seemas that the problem occurs only while installing libsdl-dev and related packages. I have just installed synaptic and ack-grep without problems | 16:57 |
| arey_ | BluesKaj_: ok, looking in that also | 16:58 |
| Scrooge | did u see that option when u dual booted for the first time, Shano56? | 16:58 |
| Shano56 | I don't recall, but it was a tramatic experience that i want to put behind me :P | 16:58 |
| Scrooge | ya, it usually isn't if you don't have a guide besides you to help you out with these issues.... hahahaa :D | 16:58 |
| Scrooge | never mind, you'll master it with a few careful dual-boots :) | 16:59 |
| colin_ | ActionParsnip it didnt work at all, its just screwed things up | 16:59 |
| arey_ | BluesKaj_: is there a specific file I should look into /var/log, there are a lot of files | 16:59 |
| colin_ | now i gotta remove it | 16:59 |
| Shano56 | hehe :D hmm internet doesnt want to connect | 16:59 |
| ActionParsnip | colin_: then remove the PPA and remove the package, hardly screwed up is it.. | 16:59 |
| Shano56 | guess i can install updates after instalation | 16:59 |
| colin_ | i donno how | 16:59 |
| Scrooge | if i got u right, ur installation is in progress, right Shano56 ? | 16:59 |
| Natherul | hey all, anyone got any idea on why sometimes ubuntu refuse to ifentify mouseclicks, I can move the mouse but not click on anything.... | 17:00 |
| Scrooge | is it sometimes Natherul or everytime? | 17:00 |
| ActionParsnip | colin_: sudo apt-get --purge remove oracle-java7-installer; sudo apt-get install ppa-purge; sudo ppa-purge ppa:webupd8team/java | 17:00 |
| Shano56 | not yet, i tried connecting ethernet cable to connect to the internet, however it doesn't wnat to connect. probably doesn't like my router :p | 17:00 |
| Natherul | well, not all the time but it happens frequently | 17:00 |
| Natherul | for example, its happened right now -.- | 17:01 |

| tking | someone using a windows email me a ms word file .doc but I can open it, pls help | 17:01 |
| colin_ | all i wanna do is make a folder | 17:01 |
| colin_ | jeeze | 17:01 |
| Natherul | does that make any sense to you Scrooge? | 17:01 |
| Scrooge | if it happens, occasionally, it "might" be a problem with your touchpad, is there anyway you can verify? | 17:01 |
| ActionParsnip | colin_: you can make a folder with mkdir, or sudo mkdir if it is outside your home | 17:02 |
| Natherul | well its not a touchpad, its a cyborg R.A.T. 7 mouse... and its no problem in windows (yes i dualboot) | 17:02 |
| colin_ | yeh but then ive gotta put stuff in it | 17:02 |
| colin_ | just wanna copy and paste a folder | 17:03 |
| Shano56 | Scrooge: i got 3 options, im ignoring the first bcuz i dont want that, last 2 options: erase disk and install ubuntu or something else | 17:03 |
| FireAllianceNX | How do I change the screen resolution for the system default? | 17:03 |
| colin_ | i tried it with a file yesterday, and it screwed up the name | 17:03 |
| Scrooge | Shano56, the 2 option, erase disk and install ubuntu | 17:03 |
| Shano56 | okay :) | 17:03 |
| Scrooge | Shano56, wait | 17:03 |
| Scrooge | Warning: It will erase Windows, are you sure? | 17:03 |
| Shano56 | yes. fk windows :p | 17:04 |
| Scrooge | the disk will be completely empty | 17:04 |
| Scrooge | fine, go ahead | 17:04 |
| Scrooge | Ubuntu is all yours!!! | 17:04 |
| Shano56 | okay, 2 partitions will be deleted, use advanced partitioning tool for more control | 17:04 |

| nathali | i have some problems with installing wi-fi card... | 17:05 |
| ActionParsnip | nathali: what is the issue? | 17:06 |
| Shano56 | Scrooge, should i delete /dev/sda1 and 2 or will the installer do it automatically | 17:06 |
| ActionParsnip | colin_: hold ALT and you can drag windows from anywhere | 17:06 |
| Shano56 | sda1 is the recovery partition and sda2 is the windoze one | 17:06 |
| Scrooge | i hope there is checkbox where u ask it to format the partition, right? | 17:06 |
| Natherul | Scrooge: No idea, and its been bugging me for some time, was not a problem 2 version of ubuntu back, now and the last version though -.- And i really want to know more about ubuntu and linux so I could eventually move from windows... but I need a worrking mouse to learn anyway -.- | 17:06 |
| Shano56 | there is checkboxes to format, theres also an option to delete, which i assume will delete the partition | 17:07 |
| tking | someone using a windows email me a ms word file .doc but I can open it, pls help | 17:07 |
| Scrooge | you can delete the partition, which would make it free, yes, delete the partition, Shano56 | 17:07 |
| Shano56 | okay | 17:08 |
| Natherul | Scrooge: and what puzzles me is that its actually letting me move the cursor, but just wont let me click something... so the mouse is sending signals at least.... -.- | 17:08 |
| arey_ | BluesKaj_: ok, looking. By the way, does this info help in zeroing the prolem: http://pastebin.com/XdEh6D6g ? | 17:08 |
| oldschool | glitsj16 i got it from here http://www.thumbnailme.com/ its not in ubuntu 12.04 download it its a deb | 17:08 |
| Scrooge | what i wonder is why is happening only occasionally and not always | 17:08 |
| d1gital | I just tried to extract something via drag-n-drop from file-roller to pcmanfm, and now my cursor is stuck in a dragging state, and I can't use it to click. I really don't want to restart X and all of my applications right now... is there a way to fix the cursor without restarting X? | 17:08 |
| Shano56 | Scrooge should i create a new partition or let the installer do that | 17:09 |
| Natherul | Scrooge: indeed, but once it happens i pretty much have to alt+f4 out of the current window to get back click functions... such is the case as of right now | 17:09 |
| Scrooge | create a partition for "/", "/home", "/boot", Shano56 | 17:09 |
| Scrooge | and a "swap" area too | 17:09 |
| Scrooge | huh, not getting you Natherul , how do you get it back to work? | 17:10 |
| starlocke | anyone want to suggest an "office worker friendly" name for a file server? | 17:10 |
| theadmin | starlocke: file_server | 17:10 |
| glitsj16 | oldschool: looking around there, i'll report back in a minute | 17:10 |
| d1gital | theadmin beat me to it. | 17:11 |
| theadmin | starlocke: Seriously though, this sounds like a question for #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:11 |
| Natherul | Scrooge: I can get the clicks to work again by closing the current active window.... I also just relised that it seems to be another problem at the same time... I cant switch what window is active atm with alt+tab like i normally can either.... | 17:11 |
| oldschool | glitsj16 ok thanks | 17:11 |
| starlocke | perhaps... i suppose it's not strictly an Ubuntu problem. | 17:11 |
| d1gital | for the logs: `killall file-roller` did the trick. | 17:12 |
| Scrooge | so "Alt+ tab" does not work when the mouse-clicks don't work, right? | 17:12 |
| Natherul | Scrooge: so it would seem | 17:12 |
| Scrooge | now this is interesting, Natherul | 17:12 |
| Scrooge | what do these share in them? | 17:12 |

| ubottu | Scrooge: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 17:13 |
| Scrooge | can you just to switch workspace and see if these mouse-clicks work, Natherul ? | 17:14 |

| === sk8- is now known as sk8| | ||
| Natherul | Scrooge: how do you want me to do that? since alt tab is not working.... jsut also noticed that clicks are allowed inside the active window... I cant press the maximize button or close on the window but I CAN select text in the chat with the mouse.... | 17:15 |
| theadmin | Isarra: Not too much. The graphical environment may start longer, but "boot" times as such should be about the same | 17:15 |
| Scrooge | try "Ctrl + Alt + right/left navigation key" to switch workspaces | 17:15 |
| glitsj16 | oldschool: i tested the 64bit version, installed ok here (and it works) .. did you get any error messages while installing? and you have the correct .deb for your system (32bit or 64bit)? | 17:16 |

| Isarra | theadmin: Okay, what would cause the graphical environment to just not start? | 17:17 |
| Isarra | It started yesterday. | 17:17 |
| Scrooge | does the right click work, Natherul ? | 17:17 |
| FireAllianceNX | Hmmm how do I change the screen resolution for all users? | 17:17 |
| theadmin | Isarra: From the same CD? | 17:17 |
| Jordan_U | Crarda: Usually you just plug it in and it will work. I'm guessing though that that wasn't the case or you probably wouldn't be asking :) | 17:17 |

| Scrooge | Crarda, if you are using Ubuntu 11.10 there is a "Printers" option in the top-left menu | 17:18 |
| FireAllianceNX | was hoping not have to edit that. thanks | 17:18 |

| DCheck2 | ubuntu | 17:18 |
| Isarra | theadmin: I have no idea if it was the same one; all I really know is that xubuntu was fine, a ubuntu that may or may not have been the same one was fine, and windows just crapped out. | 17:18 |
| ActionParsnip | DCheck2: no, which IRC client | 17:18 |
| melkor | ActionParsnip: that closed my nautilus window, but I still cannot see files on the desktop | 17:18 |
| DCheck2 | freenode | 17:18 |
| ActionParsnip | melkor: run it again | 17:18 |
| Isarra | Except now windows is magically working again, so uh. | 17:18 |
| ActionParsnip | DCheck2: no, the client is the program you are connecting to freenode with, freenode is the server | 17:19 |
| melkor | cool now they're back. | 17:19 |
| theadmin | FireAllianceNX: Several graphic card drivers, such as the propertiary NVidia and ATI drivers, come with tools to generate xorg.conf (nvidia control thingy and amdcccle), if you have those you may be in luck | 17:19 |
| DCheck2 | webchat.freenode.net | 17:19 |

| oldschool | glitsj16 i useing ubuntu 12.04 64bits let me see if am useing the correct .deb | 17:20 |
| DCheck2 | yeah i tried that, thats what i copy pasted i forget how to do commands on irc | 17:20 |
| Crarda | It can't find a driver online and it's not listed under models. | 17:20 |
| DCheck2 | i think i got it to work | 17:20 |

| Scrooge | I works very well with me, I like it! Which one do use for Ubuntu? | 17:23 |
| FireAllianceNX | hmmm is xorg.conf moved? | 17:23 |
| theadmin | Crarda: sudo apt-get install hplip | 17:23 |
| melkor | FireAllianceNX: removed | 17:23 |
| glitsj16 | oldschool: heh, it's on the site, you need to click the x64 folder | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Shano56: runs in Wine, Irssi has scripting ability (even more so) than mirc | 17:23 |
| theadmin | FireAllianceNX: It's under /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- but it's not present by default. | 17:23 |
| FireAllianceNX | oy | 17:23 |
| Shano56 | I will try wine. I have nothing against xchat, I'm just used to mirc | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | FireAllianceNX: its just not default installed, if one exists though it will be obeyed | 17:24 |
| Shano56 | i never tried xchat on ubuntu, maybe it will be better than on windows | 17:24 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 17:25 |

| BluesKaj_ | arey_, why are you installing libpulse-dev , is there some special device you want to configure with pulseaudio ? | 17:25 |
| L3top | FireAllianceNX: Xorg -configure should spit one out into ~/xorg.conf.new | 17:25 |

| L3top | FireAllianceNX: you will need to stop x to do that | 17:26 |

| arey_ | BluesKaj_: but while installing it I get this eror:Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

| ActionParsnip | Mandalord: I only use it for IRC but I used it waaay back when it was Gaim, it's habit now. I SSH home and use irssi from work | 17:26 |

| Shano56 | hope it didn't die, i had to hack a new d/c jack on it which has given me problems before | 17:26 |

| Shano56 | hey Rujaun, just switching to ubuntu from windows 7 now ;) | 17:27 |

| JLuc | is that the way it has to be ? | 17:30 |
| theadmin | bekor: Just ask your question. Also, there's #xubuntu for Ubuntu with Xfce specifically (though most questions will be answered here as well) | 17:30 |
| Rujaun | Who uses Ubuntu without Unity? | 17:31 |
| samster34 | plenty of people, apparently it's cool to not like unity :) | 17:31 |
| theadmin | Rujaun: WAY many people -- I think a more appropriate question is, who uses Ubuntu WITH Unity? | 17:31 |
| OerHeks | !nounity | 17:31 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 17:31 |
| Rujaun | theadmin: So you use gnome 3? | 17:32 |
| * OerHeks uses Unity with a fast SSD | 17:32 | |
| theadmin | Rujaun: Meh, I'm an Xfce person myself. I also used MATE at some point, but I find Xfce more functional while still retaining the Gnome 2 style and philosophy. | 17:32 |
| Rujaun | theadmin: I must say gnome 3 is a bit overdoen | 17:33 |

| llutz | nelson777br: sudo sync && sudo umount /mountpoint | 17:36 |
| Scrooge | nelson777br, when does it ask you to "Securely remove drive"? | 17:36 |
| nelson777br | theadmin: it can't be sudo anything, 'cause it doesn't ask for password | 17:36 |
| nelson777br | llutz: it can't be sudo anything, 'cause it doesn't ask for password | 17:36 |
| theadmin | nelson777br: It doesn't use sudo, it uses the crazy dbus authentication mechanism (ConsoleKit or whatnot), but that's how you'd do it with commandline. Also see "fusermount". | 17:36 |

| ActionParsnip | !java | 17:43 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 17:43 |

| genii-around | oldschool: apt-get install packagenename:i386 ( or :amd64 ) | 17:44 |
| glitsj16 | oldschool: 'sudo apt-get purge thumbnailme' to get rid of the i386 one and 'sudo dpkg -i <path/to/64bit.deb>' to try with the 64bit | 17:45 |
| genii-around | oldschool: That installs either 32 or 64 bit. To remove, apt-get remove packagename:i386 ( or :amd64) | 17:45 |

| oldschool | sorry about that | 17:51 |
| Mr | genii-around: i just don't shure if this is the uptodate like th 17 buuild, gracias | 17:51 |
| Scrooge | to be easy and simple, go to Software Center, type compiz, remove the "ticked" ones! | 17:51 |
| Scrooge | but is that the problem, Natherul ? | 17:52 |
| Mr | genii-around: when i install trough softwarecenter, its just build 16, i allready did that. | 17:52 |
| colin_ | how much space does wine take up | 17:52 |
| Natherul | Scrooge: its worth a shot, what they describe on that there webpage resembles what I have as well apart from that I cant click another window to later get it as fokus.... so it seems worth a shot to see if it is compiz that makes the trouble :P | 17:53 |
| Scrooge | try logging in a different theme at boot, Natherul , by changing the theme, at log-in screen, hope you are aware of how to do that, aren't you? | 17:53 |
| glitsj16 | oldschool: no worries, let us know when you are ready to install the 64bit version .. it's crucial in this step to feed the command with the exact path of Thumbnailme_2.1_amd64.deb, otherwise it will not find it .. that's the logic | 17:53 |
| iceroot | colin_: ~20mb | 17:54 |
| Natherul | Scrooge: indeed i know how to do that, I never liked unity, but the same error is in gnome 3 -.- those are however the only ones I have tried | 17:54 |
| oldschool | ok | 17:54 |

| rhizmoe | do motherboards still have beep speakers? :) | 18:21 |
| samster34 | this one does | 18:21 |
| rhizmoe | http://superuser.com/questions/22767/enable-system-beep-in-ubuntu | 18:21 |
| samster34 | although I opted not to install one on my newest board | 18:22 |
| val_ | rhizmoe: backweird compatibility | 18:22 |
| samster34 | backweird...sounds about right :p | 18:22 |
| Jordan_U | samster34: You'll probably have to "sudo apt-get install beep" as well, and for a more permanent solution you'll probably want to remove Ubuntu's blacklist of pcspkr. | 18:22 |
| rhizmoe | how could i not have heard that term until now? | 18:22 |
| samster34 | aw, shucks | 18:22 |

| Zaehlas | How do I override the network manager? I have an /etc/interfaces file but it seems to ignore it | 18:34 |
| Zaehlas | is there something else new in 12 04 I need to change to force manual settings for my ethernet connections? | 18:35 |
| genii-around | Zaehlas: Perhaps try setting managed=false in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf | 18:36 |
| Zaehlas | I'll give that a try | 18:37 |

| samster34 | I'm trying to hook my computer running ubuntu up with the one running win7 which has the internet connection...IPs are 192.168.3.1 for the win7 one, 192.168.3.2 for the ubuntu one, gateways set to the respective other one, win7 one is set as the dns server...but both computer list the other's IP as unreachable | 18:39 |
| deinol | ok, fair enough. I have an ubuntu server that I have been rsyncing to a windows 7 machine over a cifs mount for backup purposes. However, after some time the Windows 7 machine becomes really, really slow and effectively goes offline. | 18:40 |
| dnovosel | samster34: Physicall they are connected directly together, or through a switch? | 18:40 |
| samster34 | dnovosel: directly | 18:41 |
| samster34 | the cable is a crossover one | 18:41 |
| Jordan_U | samster34: What do you mean by "gateways set to the respective other one"? That sounds wrong. | 18:41 |
| samster34 | Jordan_U: host 192.168.3.1 has 192.168.3.2 as a gateway and vice versa | 18:41 |
| dnovosel | samster34: The gateway thing is technically wrong, but since they are on the same subnet, it won't matter. Neither system will try and use the gateway to communicate with each other. | 18:41 |
| dnovosel | samster34: What did you use for subnet masks | 18:42 |
| samster34 | 255.255.255.0 | 18:42 |
| Jordan_U | samster34: That's a terrible idea, it will create a routing loop. | 18:42 |
| samster34 | Jordan_U: for some reason, I've HAD to do this to hook up two win7 PCs forever now | 18:42 |
| Jordan_U | samster34: It's wrong, you shouldn't do it. | 18:42 |
| samster34 | but I had to :p | 18:42 |
| micr0be | My primary user account cant acces to a gdm session, it keep restart gdm to the login screen. I just tried to set up a new user, and it works with that new user ... Any idea ? | 18:43 |
| Zaehlas | no change.. something in my network settings is overriding the interfaces file and picking a wrong ip address. no idea how or why | 18:43 |
| samster34 | so, what else am I supposed to do | 18:43 |
| dnovosel | samster34: You shouldn't need a gateway at all if they are only going to talk to only each other. | 18:43 |
| Zaehlas | tried restarting the network manager, and all the interfaces | 18:43 |
| dnovosel | samster34: What are you trying to accomplish? Just having the two machines talk to one another? | 18:44 |
| genii-around | Zaehlas: Probably whatever you networkmanager applet in your desktop environment is set to do | 18:45 |
| samster34 | sharing the internet connection from win7 over ethernet to the ubuntu pc | 18:45 |
| Jordan_U | samster34: Set things up properly and they will probably work. I don't know what problem your configuration had but creating a routing loop is not the correct solution. | 18:45 |
| samster34 | Jordan_U: what IS the proper setup though :) | 18:45 |
| Zaehlas | both the network manager is set to a static ip, and the ionterfaces file.. | 18:45 |
| Zaehlas | but both are being ignored | 18:45 |
| dnovosel | samster34: Okay, so in this case the windows 7 machine will use it's own default gateway on the internet connection. The ubuntu machine should use the windows 7 machine for its gateway and possibly dns as well. | 18:46 |
| samster34 | that's what I figured | 18:46 |
| rynkan | anyone have any experience working with virtualization of server instances? | 18:47 |
| Jordan_U | samster34: The default gateway for the Windows box should be the ip address of the device providing you a connection to the internet. The default gateway for the Ubuntu machine should be the Windows machine (since for the Ubuntu machine, that is the device which is providing a connection to the internet). | 18:47 |
| alchemist9 | I've got an odd problem, a usb hdd keeps jumping to the next drivepath as soon as I read something from the disk, could it be hardware or software? | 18:47 |
| samster34 | Jordan_U: the gateway of the LAN connection to the other computer should be the address of the router? | 18:47 |
| Jordan_U | samster34: A computer has only one default gateway, it's not an interface specific setting. | 18:48 |
| dnovosel | rynkan: Define experience? | 18:48 |
| samster34 | Jordan_U: so I don't enter a gateway at all? | 18:48 |
| samster34 | since I already have one. | 18:48 |
| dnovosel | samster34: On windows 7 you don't need to add a default gateway on that connection. You only need to set the IP and subnet mask. | 18:49 |
| rynkan | I'm trying to figure out how it would be posible to host a couple of server with only one external IP-address | 18:49 |
| Jordan_U | samster34: If the Windows GUI is presenting you with an option to enter a default gateway in a dialog otherwise for configuring the interface connected to the Ubuntu machine, yes, you should not provide any default gateway option there. | 18:49 |
| alchemist9 | the root hub compains it can't enumerate the drive... strange.. | 18:49 |
| dnovosel | rynkan: Are you planning on running this off a single machine? Do you own the hardware for this and can physically access it? | 18:50 |
| rynkan | dnovosel: I've got an hp server on the way, it will be run from my apartment (I've got two external Ip's) | 18:51 |
| samster34 | Jordan_U: alright, well that's how it's set up now. | 18:51 |
| samster34 | still, both hosts are unreachable from the other one | 18:51 |
| Jordan_U | samster34: Can you pastebin the output of "ifconfig" from the Ubuntu machine? | 18:52 |
| Pokinawa | Jordan_U: Hey! How's it going? :) | 18:52 |
| samster34 | Jordan_U: with a little flash drive magic, perhaps.. | 18:52 |
| AlexzAK | Hi, what to do if maintainer of some package not response to the bugs too long? | 18:53 |
| dnovosel | rynkan: Okay, well you have a few options. Personally I'm really onboard bare-hardware virtualization, and I use VMWare ESXi which you can use for free on a single machine. I would then do one of the following (or both if you want). First, use an external router and only forward the ports required to the internal virtual machines. And two, what I typically do is always run Vyatta and using ESXi build a virtual network, so that my external interface | 18:54 |
| AlexzAK | Dose Ubuntu community some method to handle such sittuations? | 18:54 |
| TheLordOfTime | AlexzAK: depends on the package, which package is it | 18:54 |
| OerHeks | AlexzAK, how long is "too long" ? | 18:54 |

| AlexzAK | TheLordOfTime: OerHeks: How long is "too long", actually? And dose some methods exists to handle such sittuations? | 18:58 |
| dnovosel | rynkan: Basically with ESXi you can build a virtual network. So I build out 3 or 4 networks typically. The outside network is wired to the physical interfaces on my server. I then create a vyatta virtual machine and create interfaces (2 one for each physical port and IP) for vyatta. Then for each of my other networks (typically Servers, Clients, Testing) I create more interfaces for vyatta, and attach them to each of these internal virtual switches | 19:00 |

| samster34 | dnovosel: apparently, if I DISable the windows firewall, the connection stops working | 19:16 |
| theadmin | Java apps would work in Linux just fine | 19:16 |
| barry2 | i think i put something in and it screwed up | 19:16 |
| barry2 | java -jar abc.jar doesnt work | 19:16 |

| dnovosel | samster34: That's wild. | 19:16 |
| samster34 | dnovosel: yeah.. | 19:17 |
| phunyguy | samster34: HOW are you disabling the windows direwall? | 19:17 |
| barry2 | now that i instlled openjava.. it says i need javafx2.1.0 | 19:17 |
| phunyguy | firewall* | 19:17 |
| barry2 | but i already instaleld that | 19:17 |
| samster34 | services -> windows firewall -> stop :) | 19:17 |
| phunyguy | samster34: thats the wrong way | 19:17 |
| barry2 | worked fine on mint without openjava | 19:17 |
| phunyguy | samster34: you do it in control panel | 19:17 |
| alchemist9 | barry2: try this command gij -jar file.jar | 19:18 |
| dnovosel | samster34: To be clear, if the windows firewall is operationally, everything is working? | 19:18 |
| phunyguy | i think stoppping the service, stops other things as well | 19:18 |
| samster34 | I'm fairly sure it doesn't need the firewall service to run internet connection sharing though, I've been using it that way for months. probably just needs a restart with it disabled | 19:18 |
| phunyguy | but you don't want to disable the service, you just want the rules to be accept... lol | 19:18 |
| samster34 | dnovosel: yes | 19:18 |

| upgrayeddd | Hi, how can I change my shell without a password? | 20:16 |
| samster34 | if I write a couple hundred MB worth of 0x00 or 0xff to the disk right from the beginning, and hexdump it again, those show up | 20:16 |
| samster34 | but that's what I've been doing before, where does the gibberish come from | 20:16 |
| theadmin | upgrayeddd: Will need to be root for that I think | 20:16 |
| upgrayeddd | I use a keyfile to ssh into my ubuntu computer, and don't use a password. I wish to change the default shell from bash to zsh with chsh -s /bin/zsh. It prompts for a password however | 20:16 |
| genii-around | samster34: Maybe the last bits didn't get flushed from the write buffer yet | 20:16 |
| upgrayeddd | theadmin: doesn't Ubuntu's root not have password/isn't accessible by default? | 20:17 |
| jrib | upgrayeddd: have the admin do it | 20:17 |
| samster34 | genii-around: I've been writing ~750GB worth of FF to the disk | 20:17 |
| theadmin | upgrayeddd: Well we haz sudo | 20:17 |
| genii-around | upgrayeddd: Correct | 20:17 |
| zykotick9 | upgrayeddd: just because you use an sshkey to loging does NOT mean you don't have a password - you do | 20:17 |
| upgrayeddd | jrib: I am the admin... and su -l root doesn't work | 20:17 |
| samster34 | I doubt it could all fit in any buffer | 20:17 |
| jrib | upgrayeddd: then use sudo. | 20:17 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | upgradeddd: what exactly are you trying to do? | 20:17 |
| theadmin | upgrayeddd: "sudo" is the only way, the default root password isn't present (or rather, the hash in /etc/passwd is set to "!" which is just an impossible value, no entry will match that) | 20:18 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | do you want to keep that shell permanently? | 20:18 |
| jrib | upgrayeddd: (as whatever user you have with sudo access) | 20:18 |
| upgrayeddd | r3dLunchb0x_: I'm trying to change the default shell from bash to zsh. | 20:18 |

| exetron | whois | 20:18 |

| r3dLunchb0x_ | upgrayeddd: not the root user, but one you login all the time? | 20:19 |
| upgrayeddd | zykotick9: is there a default one or something I'm missing? | 20:19 |
| lxz6516 | theadmin: if you log in with ssh public key auth, you don't need the password for the account | 20:19 |
| upgrayeddd | yeah r3dLunchb0x_, the default one given for a 12.04 EC2 micro instance | 20:19 |
| zykotick9 | upgrayeddd: "default" no - it's what you set it too | 20:19 |
| lxz6516 | theadmin: so upgrayeddd is logged in without knowing the password | 20:20 |
| theadmin | upgrayeddd: If you don't have a password, you may set it with passwd easily. | 20:20 |
| upgrayeddd | Yep lxz6516, just with a keyfile | 20:20 |
| lxz6516 | theadmin: passwd will prompt for the old password first... | 20:20 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | upgrayeddd: edit the .bashrc for that user on that host, add /bin/zsh to the last part of that file | 20:20 |
| loculinux | ola | 20:20 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | upgrayeddd: then type ". ./.bashrc" | 20:20 |
| loculinux | alguien habla esppañol | 20:20 |
| theadmin | upgrayeddd: On the other hand, "sudo chsh -s /bin/zsh your_username" will change the shell without asking for your password (and "sudo passwd username" will also work in a similar manner) | 20:20 |
| zykotick9 | r3dLunchb0x_: lol - that's funny. use .bashrc to change shell | 20:20 |
| jrib | upgrayeddd: if you can't sudo and don't have a root password, then you aren't the admin by definition | 20:21 |
| loculinux | esañol | 20:21 |
| upgrayeddd | jrib: I just used sudo passwd and made a new UNIX password | 20:21 |
| * jrib sighs | 20:21 | |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | zykotick9: or .profile | 20:21 |
| upgrayeddd | thanks for all the help. and yes jrib, I was sudoer by default with this ubuntu user | 20:21 |
| loculinux | problem | 20:21 |
| loculinux | si | 20:21 |
| loculinux | ola | 20:22 |
| theadmin | upgrayeddd: Uh, with "sudo passwd" you changed the root's password (I think), which is bad | 20:22 |
| loculinux | from | 20:22 |
| zykotick9 | chsh shouldn't have anything to do with sudo! it's just the users' password that is required | 20:22 |
| theadmin | loculinux: Just ask the question already. | 20:22 |
| theadmin | zykotick9: Yes, but if it's not there, well, we need to get around somehow | 20:22 |

| zykotick9 | theadmin: the password is there - the user just doesn't know it. | 20:22 |
| loculinux | yes | 20:22 |
| llutz | zykotick9: and how did he use sudo then? | 20:22 |
| loculinux | theadmin | 20:23 |
| zykotick9 | llutz: ? i doubt they could | 20:23 |
| loculinux | hello | 20:23 |
| llutz | zykotick9: <upgrayeddd> jrib: I just used sudo passwd and made a new UNIX password | 20:23 |
| SkippersBoss | !ask | locolinux | 20:23 |
| ubottu | locolinux: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 20:23 |
| upgrayeddd | Hmm, what you are saying is right theadmin. I managed to make a password for the root and am able to do su -l root now, but when doing passwd on the normal ubuntu user, it asks for the old pass... | 20:23 |
| loculinux | no emtiendo | 20:23 |
| upgrayeddd | how can I create a password for ubuntu as root? | 20:23 |
| zykotick9 | !noroot | upgrayeddd | 20:24 |
| jrib | upgrayeddd: what password do you enter when you sudo? | 20:24 |
| ubottu | upgrayeddd: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 20:24 |
| llutz | upgrayeddd: as root "passwd username" | 20:24 |
| upgrayeddd | jrib: none | 20:24 |
| upgrayeddd | jrib: I can sudo as user ubuntu with no password prompt, I thought it was odd too.. | 20:24 |
| Jordan_U | upgrayeddd: Are you using a LiveCD/USB? | 20:24 |
| upgrayeddd | Jordan_U: nope, Ubuntu 12.04 micro instance on AWS EC2 | 20:25 |
| upgrayeddd | I've noticed this same exact behavior before on EC2 as well, but I forgot how I solved it last time... | 20:25 |
| Jordan_U | upgrayeddd: What is the output of "whoami"? | 20:25 |
| upgrayeddd | ok, thanks llutz that solved it. I made a new pass for user ubuntu as root with 'passwd ubuntu' | 20:25 |
| samster34 | so, does anyone have an idea how after hours of writing 0xff to the disk, it can be full of random gibberish?! | 20:26 |
| guntbert | llutz: while that helped in this case it may call troubles if the home directory is encrypted | 20:27 |
| llutz | guntbert: true | 20:27 |
| lxz6516 | samster34: how excactly did you write to the disk? | 20:28 |
| samster34 | lxz6516: sudo dcfldd pattern=FF pf=/dev/sda bs=4k | 20:29 |
| samster34 | of, not pf | 20:29 |
| lxz6516 | samster34: i don't know dcfldd but i guess it's a pimped version of dd | 20:29 |
| lxz6516 | samster34: and /dev/sda is the correct block device? | 20:30 |
| dr_willis | how are you reading the disk.. and why all this effort | 20:30 |
| samster34 | yes...I tried it on smaller segments first, and it worked. I ran it again, just to be sure, and it overwrote the gibberish with FF | 20:30 |
| samster34 | it's the ONLY device | 20:30 |
| lxz6516 | samster34: so you are running a live system from cd? | 20:30 |
| samster34 | from USB, yes | 20:31 |
| lxz6516 | samster34: if you run the live system from USB stick or disk, there must be /dev/sdb or something | 20:31 |
| lxz6516 | samster34: or is it a USB cdrom? | 20:31 |
| samster34 | no, usb flash memory | 20:32 |
| samster34 | it's listed as /dev/loop0 | 20:32 |
| samster34 | ah, no, /dev/sdg | 20:32 |
| lxz6516 | samster34: /dev/loop0 is just a loop device, it must be connected to something | 20:32 |
| lxz6516 | samster34: see output of losetup /dev/loop0 | 20:33 |
| samster34 | yes, there's two flash memory drives on sdg and sdf respectively | 20:33 |
| benwalburn | does anyone know how to fix the screen resolution for games under wine? I set the resolution to = to my screen, but there's a huge blank spot on the right | 20:33 |
| samster34 | I'm sure I didn't overwrite those, because the live system still boots from them | 20:33 |
| lxz6516 | samster34: okay | 20:33 |
| samster34 | also, they don't have a capacity of 750GB | 20:33 |
| lxz6516 | samster34: and how do you read the disk? | 20:33 |
| samster34 | sudo dd if=/dev/sda bs=4k | hexdump -C | 20:34 |
| killer | hi | 20:34 |
| samster34 | maybe not the best way to check the whole thing, but it showed discrepancies in the first bytes already | 20:34 |
| killer | I keep getting low space messages, but I'v hardly used any disk space | 20:35 |
| * alchemist9 waves back at killer | 20:35 | |
| triad | some alternatives for SPSS ? | 20:35 |
| lxz6516 | samster34: i'd suggest using hexdump -Cv since it doesn't leave out the null bytes | 20:35 |
| samster34 | lxz6516: ok | 20:35 |
| lxz6516 | samster34: but that doesn't explain reading non-ff bytes | 20:35 |
| samster34 | it shows the 0x56 and 0xff patterns I wrote to the disk for testing just now... | 20:36 |
| lxz6516 | samster34: maybe this pimped version of dd is buggy? | 20:36 |
| s0m3nak3dguy | despite following multiple tutorials for several weeks, I have yet to get my rtl8187 up and running. Anyone available to help me out? | 20:36 |
| samster34 | lxz6516: I don't think it's THAT buggy, as I said I tested it for a few GB before, and just now again, at I see the expected values on the disk | 20:37 |
| lxz6516 | samster34: hmm | 20:37 |
| === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk | ||
| Jordan_U | samster34: Try with normal dd and if=/dev/zero, just to rule out odd things we might not know about this tool. | 20:39 |
| === welder is now known as Guest38532 | ||
| zykotick9 | killer: can you pastebin "df -h" | 20:39 |
| samster34 | I've done dd with /dev/zero | 20:39 |
| samster34 | also works | 20:39 |
| samster34 | hold on, I'm installing some more ram.. | 20:40 |
| Jordan_U | samster34: What do you mean by "also works"? | 20:42 |
| samster34 | Jordan_U: I wrote a couple GB of zero to the disk, and they showed up | 20:42 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | smaster34: what other command were you trying? | 20:42 |
| Jordan_U | samster34: Then what problem are you having with dd? | 20:43 |
| samster34 | Jordan_U: it doesn't let me write 0xFF for example | 20:43 |
| samster34 | r3dLunchb0x_: dcfldd | 20:44 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | samster34: is that a different dd package? | 20:44 |
| Idestem | Hi! | 20:44 |
| samster34 | r3dLunchb0x_: yes, it also allows writing of custom patterns | 20:44 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | samster34: looking at the homepage now. | 20:45 |
| samster34 | anyway, the problem is...they all appear to write to the disk fine | 20:45 |
| samster34 | but after it was done it was suddenly filled with gibberish | 20:45 |
| samster34 | not that I wouldn't want a random write, but dd from /dev/urandom is incredibly slow | 20:46 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | samster34: what exactly are you trying to accomplish with this? | 20:46 |
| s0m3nak3dguy | can anyone point me to some detailed wireless troubleshooting? I can't get a rtl8187 to work properly.. | 20:46 |
| samster34 | I want to wipe the disk | 20:47 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | samster34: using /dev/urandom||/dev/random it has to wait till those get some "random" data in them to write | 20:47 |
| alchemist9 | s)m#nak3dguy: what part of the process are you having issues with? | 20:47 |
| samster34 | r3dLunchb0x_: doesn't really matter to me why it's slow, it just is :) | 20:48 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | samster34: do a for loop on the command line and dev/zero one time, /dev/urandom for dd | 20:48 |
| s0m3nak3dguy | alchemist9: The device is seen, a interface is created, however; I can't connect or see any scan data | 20:48 |
| samster34 | r3dLunchb0x_: ? | 20:49 |
| alchemist9 | s0m3nak3dguy: let me think a second.. | 20:49 |
| s0m3nak3dguy | alchemist9: ok, ty and take your time, i've got a ll day lol | 20:49 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | samster34: how big is the disk? | 20:49 |
| samster34 | 750 GB ~ 715GiB | 20:49 |
| samster34 | I've been letting it write 0xff for hours.. | 20:50 |
| oCean | s0m3nak3dguy: the devices are not blocked? What is the output of rfkill list? | 20:50 |
| samster34 | only to find it full of everything but that | 20:50 |
| genii-around | s0m3nak3dguy: Are you using some older Ubuntu version? I'm pretty sure that chipset was supported after about 9.04 ( Jaunty) | 20:50 |
| s0m3nak3dguy | genii-around: i'm using a recently installed 12.04 | 20:50 |
| s0m3nak3dguy | oCean: rfkill list no blocks | 20:50 |
| oCean | genii-around: exactly, it "should" work easily | 20:50 |
| alchemist9 | s0m3nak3dguy: okay try configuring it with iwconfig it should pop out an error message on why it isn't connecting... | 20:50 |
| exetron | test | 20:51 |

| pretender | does anyone know how to install Peer Guardian linux in ubuntu 12.04 | 20:51 |
| oCean | exetron: use #test for that | 20:51 |
| s0m3nak3dguy | alchemist9: tried that with network-manager disabled(can't think of anything else I should disable), i will find a place to list my dmesg. | 20:51 |
| benwalburn | does anyone know how to fix the screen resolution for games under wine? I set the resolution to = to my screen, but there's a huge blank spot on the right | 20:51 |
| skomorokh | i hadn't updated my laptop for a few weeks. did that, saw a bunch of packages so i rebooted. now i have no mouse--it's a thinkpad with the touchpad turned off. i note that xorg vmmouse and evdev has point releases, anyone else have a porblem with those? | 20:52 |
| Idestem | Hi! | 20:52 |
| * alchemist9 waves at Idestem | 20:52 | |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | skomokh: you'll have to go into terminal and type "sudo apt-get -f install" | 20:52 |
| samster34 | r3dLunchb0x_: that#s what I#ve been doing...only writing 0xff for now instead of random data, since I can't wait a week for this thing to do two passes | 20:52 |

| samster34 | r3dLunchb0x_: nah, I even recreated the flash drive from the iso, so that couldnt have been it | 21:01 |
| alchemist9 | kyle__: gcc 3.x isn't too horible on powerpc ran rather smooth sucks on i386, works fine on i686... slackers... XD | 21:02 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | samster34: you're going to sell this drive then? are you working for DoD or something and you don't want the content possibly retieved? | 21:02 |

| Etale | Hi people. I'm trying to get the hang of newsgroups. I used to use them many, many, many years ago, but I can't figure out how hey work now. Is a "news server" a bunch of particular newsgroups? In trying to make a newsgroups account in thunderbird, it would only let me make an account for a particular news server. Meaning that for every news server I have to open a new account. | 21:46 |

| iceroot | UNG: the partition table is not a file, its part of a specific byte-range from the hdd | 22:46 |
| UNG | different* | 22:46 |

| L3top | UNG if=Input "file" of=output "file" | 22:49 |
| UNG | thanks | 22:49 |
| psusi | UNG, it copies sector 63, which may or may not be a pbr, into a file somewhere you specify | 22:49 |
| iHarp | psusi: There is an EFI upgrade for my macbook. But I only have linux installed. However the upgrade is only available in .dmg format. | 22:49 |
| UNG | well, lets suppose i put instead 63, the sector, where my ntfs partition starts, is there the pbr stored? | 22:50 |
| psusi | iHarp, I'm guessing you mean it's a firmware upgrade, and the .dmg probably contains a mac program to flash it... so you would need macos to do that | 22:50 |
| alchemist9 | iHarp: afaik EFI is firmware based updatable in apples confused os... | 22:50 |
| psusi | UNG, it would be better to not specify any sector and point if to the partition instead | 22:51 |
| iceroot | UNG: as i said, the partition table is stored in the first 512bytes | 22:51 |
| psusi | UNG, why would you want to do this though? | 22:51 |
| iceroot | UNG: of the device | 22:51 |
| Prenuk | afaik (U)EFI is a replacement of the old BIOS | 22:51 |
| psusi | iceroot, it's the first 512 bytes of the partition, not the whole disk | 22:52 |
| iHarp | psusi: Yes, it is a firmware upgrade. So there is no way to do that from linux then? | 22:52 |
| L3top | UNG: I did not backread... but it is FUNDAMENTAL that you do not dd a partition/drive that is mounted | 22:52 |
| iceroot | psusi: no, the whole disk | 22:52 |
| psusi | iHarp, not unless apple provides one, which is unlikely | 22:52 |
| UNG | psusi: i need to edit the pbr of that partition, because it got corrupted, when resising in gparted | 22:52 |
| iceroot | psusi: first 512bytes of /dev/sda | 22:52 |
| psusi | iceroot, no... pbr stands for partition boot record | 22:52 |
| iceroot | psusi: and i am talking about partition table | 22:52 |
| Jordan_U | iHarp: It's probably possible to just copy the right file to your EFI System Partition and reboot, but given that this is pretty important stuff I wouldn't trust "possible". Use OSX to configure firmware upgrades. | 22:52 |

| micr0be | Hi, i need help; I cant start a gdm session with my primary user ... After i wrote my password on login screen, it seems that gdm reboot ( black screen then logon again ) ... I had to set up a new user to start a gdm session... | 22:59 |
| aguitel | L3top,nvidia-173 : Depends: xorg-video-abi-10 but it is not installable Recommends: nvidia-settings but it is not going to be installed | 23:00 |
| micr0be | I'm looking for a way to reset all the gdm configuration, or better solution... ( natty ) | 23:00 |
| L3top | aguitel: do you have any ppas installed? (ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d) | 23:00 |
| alchemist9 | micr0be: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3? | 23:01 |
| aguitel | L3top, let me see | 23:01 |
| UNG | psusi: it did happen, and I used the version that I downloaded today from the software center :( | 23:01 |
| pretender_ | can anyone tell me how to install peer guardian for linux in ubuntu 12.04 | 23:01 |
| micr0be | I'll try ... But i tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" | 23:01 |
| arguser | hope someone here knows a little about drbl | 23:01 |
| psusi | UNG, that seems unlikely... what exactly is the error you get when you try to mount it? | 23:01 |
| L3top | UNG: sorry to backtrack, but can you tell me the original problem, and if you have run fsck? | 23:01 |
| Miguelito | having commercial dvd playing problems | 23:01 |
| alchemist9 | micr0be: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 23:02 |
| arguser | i've made 2 partitons images, but when i want to restore it only show me one | 23:02 |
| UNG | L3top: i did not run fsck, what does it do? | 23:02 |
| micr0be | i'm on natty | 23:02 |
| arguser | the last i've made | 23:02 |
| micr0be | you want my "uname -a" output ? | 23:02 |
| L3top | UNG: fsck = file system check... but before that, tell me the original problem please | 23:02 |
| alchemist9 | micr0be: natty used gdm2 if I remember correctly.. | 23:03 |
| micr0be | alchemist9, its a backbox distro, based on ubuntu ... It is installed on a netbook 1201HA with a GMA500 for graphics | 23:03 |
| UNG | L3top: well i tried to resize my ntfs partition, and I did, but with an error: Current NTFS volume size is bigger than the device size | 23:04 |
| TheLordOfTime | micr0be: unless its an official ubuntu derivative, its offtopic here | 23:04 |
| Miguelito | dvd playback | 23:04 |
| micr0be | Sorry, but i'm sure there is someone who can help ... | 23:05 |
| glitsj16 | pretender_: https://launchpad.net/~jre-phoenix/+archive/ppa offers a PPA for peerguard, have you tried that? | 23:05 |
| UNG | psusi: the error in gparted is: error: Current NTFS volume size is bigger than the device size | 23:05 |
| micr0be | A list of config files/folder to delete to force reconfiguration ? | 23:05 |
| L3top | UNG: fsck probably is not the answer. I would try to run chkdsk from a win machine... but... this is a bit outside of my area... I don't deal with NTFS except for detection. | 23:05 |
| alchemist9 | micr0be:let me check something... | 23:06 |
| SkippersBoss | microbe | 23:06 |
| UNG | L3top: ok, thanks for you trying to help :) | 23:06 |
| L3top | UNG: chkdsk -f | 23:06 |
| Jordan_U | UNG: Wait before doing anything (I'm reading complete scrollback). | 23:06 |
| L3top | UNG: listen to Jordan_U... he is much more clever than I | 23:07 |
| micr0be | TheLordOfTime, i dont know if its an official distro or not ... all i know is that it is one distro that runs well on my netbook | 23:07 |
| UNG | L3top: i tried that too, but it couldn't do that, because it said, that some proccess is using the disk, and it can't do anything | 23:07 |
| UNG | L3top: ok | 23:07 |
| alchemist9 | micr0be:ls /etc|grep gdm should tell you what version of gdm you are running, and if dpkg fails to reconfigure it the way you want then try sudo gdmsetup | 23:09 |
| micr0be | Okay, wait a minute please :) | 23:10 |

| schnuffle | r3dLunchb0x_: so you have two nics on the same switch? | 23:16 |
| glitsj16 | pretender_: if you were familiar with its predecessor 'moblock' and 'mobloquer' the transition should be smooth .. going over the configuration files is always informative .. enjoy | 23:16 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | schnuffle: yeah, 2 different servers. | 23:16 |
| schnuffle | r3dLunchb0x_: okay so two server each with a nic on the same switch and what is the problem? | 23:17 |

| schnuffle | r3dLunchb0x_: does one of the servers has more nics | 23:23 |
| === zixxy is now known as zixxy_ | ||
| r3dLunchb0x_ | schnuffle: both servers have multiple nics | 23:24 |
| sphinx | The last version of Wine is available ? | 23:24 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | schnuffle: these nics have never been used before | 23:24 |
| Ezim | smw: yeah 6 month release cycle to get the latest package feels wrong | 23:24 |
| smw_ | Ezim, it feels right to me | 23:24 |
| smw_ | Ezim, it makes things much more stable | 23:24 |
| smw_ | especially when using an lts | 23:24 |
| schnuffle | r3dLunchb0x_: aha, but each server has only one active, the one connected to the switch? | 23:24 |
| smw_ | Ezim, there are many rolling release distros for you to use | 23:25 |
| sphinx | I'm asking this because one bug from Wine 1.5.6 while opening the Office 2010 was solved and the developers team released the 1.5.7 | 23:25 |
| Ezim | smw_: lts is really god, but I feel it should be 1 version for lts and other can use rolling release. | 23:25 |
| schnuffle | I'm off for 10 minutes | 23:25 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | schnuffle, no the eth0 on both hosts are active and have different IP's and are connected to a different switch which I have no access too | 23:25 |
| Ezim | in some way rhel (lts) is for fedora | 23:25 |
| smw_ | Ezim, I disagree. If I wanted rolling release, I would not use ubuntu | 23:25 |

| zykotick9 | john38: could you be more specific? "find /path/to/start/from -iname foo" | 23:28 |
| Jordan_U | UNG: OK, I was trying to make sure that the problem wasn't simply that the partition table was modified before the resize completed successfully, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It's a little frustrating that the error message points to an ntfsresize FAQ which is on a page that appears to be down. | 23:29 |

| sphinx | Does anybody knows when the Ubuntu will package the Wine 1.5.7 for I get the binaries ? | 23:29 |
| ubuntuanao | compatriots, I am a linux newbie. Could you please provide me with guidance on how I can open a text file, edit it, and save it, using the terminal? | 23:30 |
| john38 | alchemist9, no its a lightscribe software | 23:30 |
| UNG | Jordan_U: well i think i found a solution here: http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=13937 maybe it will work for me | 23:30 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | ubuntuanao: use vim, learn vi commands | 23:30 |

| ubuntuanao | Ezim and others, thank you, how would I 'save as' using command line? | 23:32 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | Ezim: ubuntuanao did say on the terminal | 23:32 |
| sphinx | glitsj16, I talk with them and the answer was that I gotta to wait until the Wine was packaged. | 23:32 |
| Ezim | r3dLunchb0x_: okey. then nano is easy. | 23:33 |
| alchemist9 | john38: hmm try this "find /|grep lightscribe" should search the entire root directory | 23:33 |
| john38 | alchemist9, thanks | 23:33 |
| john38 | alchemist9, in terminal? | 23:33 |
| glitsj16 | sphinx: i'm definately not overuling that :) .. but what stops an experimentally inclined mind from checking out the bzr code from launchpad? ;) https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/vineyard/trunk has a list of latest revisions you might check before going that route | 23:34 |
