[00:00] <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?
[00:01] <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)
[00:02] <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
[00:03] <nibbler_> morgium: so, whatever you use that does not work (first you said you use gdm), try another one.
[00:04] <morgium> nibbler_, if you read again what i described you will find i already tried that
[00:04] <nibbler_> morgium: sorry
[00:05] <nibbler_> morgium: so with gdm it start on console 8, where is the problem?
[00:05] <SkippersBoss> he wants hismachine to boot gdm automaticaly
[00:06] <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
[00:08] <SkippersBoss> morgium, i would purge lightdm, make sure no config files are left and install again
[00:08] <morgium> SkippersBoss: i did that already
[00:09] <morgium> im pretty sure the problem comes from my deinstalling ubuntu-desktop, installing xubunutu-desktop
[00:09] <morgium> the "migration" failed somehow
[00:10] <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
[00:11] <morgium> and you can call it whatever you want! :)
[00:12] <SkippersBoss> your cleary missing a few libraries when you disassembled ubuntu desktop :-(
[00:13] <sdiaz> says I do in the software center
[00:13] <sdiaz> mt
[00:14] <osmario> if i use ./scriptname it works. but instead if i type chmod +x scriptname or chmod u+x scrptname nothing happens
[00:15] <SkippersBoss> morgium: looks like installing xubuntu didnot go according to plan.
[00:16] <morgium> SkippersBoss: /nick CaptainObvious
[00:16] <fishbait> ... why is adobe stopping linux platform support?
[00:16] <morgium> SkippersBoss: sorry i didnt read the line before that, i thought that was a troll attempt. im sorry for that response.
[00:17] <trinisoljah> i have question
[00:17] <trinisoljah> anyone willing to help ?
[00:17] <morgium> SkippersBoss: but that did actually give me an idea!
[00:17] <lnxslck> trinisoljah, just ask
[00:17] <morgium> trinisoljah: ask first :)
[00:18] <SkippersBoss> :-)
[00:18] <trinisoljah> ok i have an alfa wireless card and i am typing sudo iwconfig wlan2 key "key"
[00:18] <trinisoljah> and it says
[00:18] <SkippersBoss> don't worry good luck in restoring
[00:18] <trinisoljah> error fore wireless request set encode (8B2A
[00:19] <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 :-)
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <nitrohax> it keeps going to the optional boot menu on start up? is it just because it's using sdb instead of sda?
[00:21] <fishbait> are there multiple options?
[00:23] <fishbait> i have flash player and i'm running kde how do i install this thing?
[00:23] <trinisoljah> is anyone here familiar with backtrack 5 ?
[00:25] <mmonat> nical
[00:25] <fishbait> trinisoljah: this is an ubuntu support channel those here are likely familiar only with ubuntu
[00:25] <fuzzynurfhurter> would u have to put a default gateway ip if theres not 1?/
[00:25] <sk8|> fishbait, dod someone tell you what it will do?
[00:26] <bkerensa> !backtrack | trinisoljah
[00:26] <sk8|> bkerensa, that's a no no
[00:26] <sk8|> ;p
[00:26] <fishbait> sk8: no but i'm leery of that command
[00:26] <sk8|> cp is the copy function
[00:26] <sk8|> -r is recursive
[00:27] <trinisoljah> wtf , backtrack is based on ubuntu
[00:27] <trinisoljah> what is the big deal
[00:27] <sk8|> meaning everything contained in usr/
[00:27] <trinisoljah> it uses the same syntax fools
[00:27] <sk8|> what is the reason for using it
[00:27] <sk8|> fishbait, ^
[00:27] <fishbait> trinisoljah: no ubuntu is based on debian thats a common misconception
[00:28] <fishbait> sk8|: trying to install flash player
[00:28] <trinisoljah> i said backtrack is based on ubuntu
[00:28] <sk8|> what's wrong no flash?
[00:28] <nitrohax> what is the .deb you speak of? LOL
[00:28] <trinisoljah> not ubuntu is based on backtrack
[00:28] <sk8|> are you using chromium?
[00:28] <fishbait> trinisoljah: what i'm trying to say is that backtrack is debian based.
[00:29] <trinisoljah> exactly
[00:29] <bkerensa> trinisoljah: Do you have a Ubuntu related support question? We do not support other distros
[00:29] <m1chael> im trying to install xubuntu 12.04 but im getting an error  that says something like gfxboot not a com32r image ... i burned t he iso from xfcburn in xubuntu on another computer
[00:29] <fuzzynurfhurter> im having a prob with network it will not automatically find an ip address for itself
[00:29] <fishbait> sk8|: i'm using opera and trying to install 64-bit native fLash
[00:29] <trinisoljah> this is retarded
[00:29] <chu> trinisoljah: Don't be so hostile.
[00:29] <trinisoljah> can someone help me configure this wireless card or not ?
[00:29] <sk8|> did you grab the plugin from adobe
[00:29] <sk8|> ?
[00:30] <trinisoljah> is this where all noobs are at
[00:30] <fishbait> sk8|: grabed abd extraqcted the 11.2 64-bit file
[00:30] <bkerensa> !rules | trinisoljah
[00:31] <sk8|> i'm nt familiar with opera or it's issues
[00:31] <trinisoljah> someone tell me where the backtrack irc is
[00:31] <Jordan_U> !backtrack | trinisoljah
[00:32] <phileaton> what can I do with irssi?
[00:32] <trinisoljah> #join
[00:32] <fishbait> lol i love this site http://lmgtfy.com/?q=backtrack+irc+support+channel
[00:33] <sk8|> fish go get the plugin
[00:33] <fishbait> got it
[00:33] <Jordan_U> fishbait: Please don't use lmgtfy links here.
[00:33] <fishbait> Jordan
[00:33] <sk8|> untar is
[00:33] <Senix> I'm on Ubuntu 11.10, with unity when connected to a wired connection it randomly disconnects every few minutes. is there a bug and/or fix for this?
[00:33] <sk8|> sudo mkdir /usr/lib/opera/plugins
[00:33] <sk8|> cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins
[00:34] <fishbait> Jordan_u: ooh here is where i found out about it but okay
[00:34] <fishbait> sk8|: done'
[00:34] <sk8|> no dice?
[00:34] <morgium> how do i reinstall a metapackage with all dependencies
[00:34] <morgium> without removing it
[00:35] <fishbait> ok ima try it
[00:35] <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
[00:36] <morgium> Senix: there is, apt-get --reinstall install xubuntu-desktop, but that doesnt reinstall the dependencies recursively
[00:36] <sk8|> Senix, i tihnk the apci update has broken alot of stuff
[00:36] <morgium> senix: alright, i'll try that. :/
[00:36] <sk8|> fishbait, you getting it taken care of?
[00:36] <Senix> sk8|: so would you suggest i install a later version of Ubuntu or install the latest version?
[00:37] <sk8|> i had to
[00:37] <fishbait> sk8|: what file do i copy there?
[00:37] <CellTech> Can someone tell me how to 'register' so I can get into the android rooms?
[00:37] <sk8|> did you download the plugin from adobe?
[00:37] <aragorn> does sudo apt-get update actually install updates? or does it just load updates
[00:37] <Jordan_U> !register | CellTech
[00:38] <aragorn> does sudo apt-get update actually install updates? or does it just load updates? can anybody help me
[00:38] <Senix> aragorn: it only updates the repo files
[00:38] <yeats> aragorn: it updates your package cache
[00:38] <jorge_> there is somebody tuquiso system?
[00:38] <Senix> aragorn: you can do a sudo apt-get upgrade to isntall the updtaes.
[00:38] <fishbait> ... i'll check the readne
[00:38] <aragorn> thank you very much!
[00:38] <sk8|> fishbait, go to downloads and select flash player
[00:38] <aragorn> do you have to run sudo apt-get update before you run upgrade?
[00:39] <Senix> aragorn: it is suggested that you do
[00:39] <sk8|> untar the file
[00:39] <Senix> aragorn: you can use this syntax
[00:39] <CellTech> Joined the freenode. typed that in and it's not working
[00:39] <Senix> aragorn: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:39] <sk8|> mkdir /usr/lib/opera/plugins
[00:39] <aragorn> ah, again, thank you very much,Senix!
[00:39] <Senix> aragorn: np
[00:39] <sk8|> and cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins
[00:39] <sk8|> all done
[00:40] <Senix> aragorn: that command will both update and upgrade in one straight go.
[00:40] <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?
[00:41] <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.
[00:42] <yeats> deitarion: install ia32-libs
[00:42] <deitarion> yeats: I'm on Precise.
[00:42] <yeats> !info ia32-libs
[00:42] <yeats> ah
[00:42] <sk8|> have a good evening
[00:43] <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
[00:44] <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] <fuzzynurfhurter> if i have #ubuntu in the server tab am i not registered??
[00:44] <fishbait> okay flash player is installed
[00:44] <morgium> brb
[00:44] <jiohdi> gld1982ltd, another oldie but goodie is MGM
[00:45] <sk8|> your welecome fishbait
[00:45] <sk8|> ;p
[00:45] <mahir> Hi
[00:45] <fishbait> sk8|: ty
[00:45] <jiohdi> gld1982ltd, also known as moaning goat monitor for no  apparent reason
[00:46] <jiohdi> gld1982ltd, but I use gkrellm, themable movable, dockable can be on top or on bottom
[00:46] <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
[00:47] <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
[00:48] <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
[00:49] <deitarion> fishbait: You wouldn't happen to have a multi-monitor desktop, would you?
[00:49] <fishbait> dual monitors.
[00:50] <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.
[00:51] <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?
[00:52] <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?
[00:53] <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.
[00:54] <DubstepCraig> Hi
[00:55] <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.
[00:56] <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
[00:57] <deitarion> fishbait: Install this user script. https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/36453
[00:58] <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?
[00:59] <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.
[01:00] <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?
[01:01] <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.
[01:02] <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?
[01:03] <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
[01:04] <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)
[01:05] <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.
[01:06] <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] <reggal> what's a good live CD that supports games?
[01:07] <aragorn> could somebody please help me... I am editing the repositories using sudoedit.. how do I exit and save?
[01:07] <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?
[01:08] <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
[01:09] <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] <fuzzynurfhurter> hell yeah that worked great deitarion
[01:09] <bazhang> reggal, remaster an ubuntu cd
[01:09] <blackshirt> aragorn, esc and then :wq
[01:09] <blackshirt> aragorn, esc and then :wq
[01:09] <aragorn> thank you!
[01:09] <bazhang> !remaster | reggal
[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.
[01:10] <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?
[01:11] <deitarion> mikemonk: Sorry for getting side-tracked. Let me think.
[01:11] <blackshirt> aragorn, or you just using nano?
[01:11] <mikemonk> deitarion: np
[01:11] <aragorn> nano?
[01:12] <lerox> suup
[01:12] <deitarion> mikemonk: I don't really have much experience comparing performance of the different virtualization solutions. My preference has always boiled down to "VMWare is closed-source and can't run alongside KVM, VirtualBox is good enough... stop."
[01:12] <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?
[01:13] <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
[01:14] <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
[01:15] <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?
[01:16] <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] <echo083> blackshirt, the problem is i just made an apt-get update
[01:17] <aragorn> hank you all for your help it worked great using nano
[01:17] <echo083> blackshirt, i try to do an apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:17] <echo083> blackshirt, libgl1-mesa-dri: Broken: xserver-xorg-core (< 2:1.10.2-2) but 2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4.3 must be installed
[01:17] <yeats> echo083: no need to re-update if you just did it
[01:17] <yeats> just do 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
[01:18] <echo083> yeats, no it stop after this error :(
[01:18] <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. Does anyone have input on fixing this?
[01:18] <Asar> hola, am getting a GPG error when attempting to update. Can a person help?
[01:18] <yeats> echo083: sorry - missed your followup
[01:18] <echo083> yeats, no problemù
[01:18] <xangua> !gpgerr | Asar
[01:19] <Asar> what is appropriate for the <key> >> field?
[01:20] <Asar> ubottu
[01:20] <butch128> Any user with "sudo" privileges seem to lock up on my machine seconds after login... ssh login is fine.  regular users are fine..
[01:21] <deitarion> Asar: ubottu is a bot.
[01:22] <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?
[01:23] <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.
[01:24] <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?
[01:25] <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] <amanATdesk> hi
[01:25] <Asar> yeats, so within the Authentication field insert the http://keyserver.ubuntu.com?
[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.
[01:26] <butch128> yes... it's very perplexing...
[01:26] <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.
[01:27] <butch128> that's what i'm worried about - the array is resyncing right now
[01:27] <butch128> ooooooo
[01:27] <butch128> root@ubuntu-desktop:~# sudo aptitude update
[01:27] <butch128> E: Archives directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing. - Acquire (5: Input/output error)
[01:27] <butch128> i bet when it starts the update notification in the gui, that locks it
[01:28] <yeats> butch128: sounds like you need to do a fsck before proceeding
[01:28] <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?
[01:28] <psusi> butch128, check the smart status of the reamining drives?  sounds like they have some bad sectors
[01:28] <psusi> butch128, which may also cause the resync to fail
[01:28] <OerHeks> DubstepCraig, no.
[01:28] <butch128> damn it...
[01:29] <butch128> omg... your right, 2 devices are out of the raid array now
[01:29] <psusi> DubstepCraig, yes, but swap is SLOW
[01:29] <butch128> 2927095296 blocks super 1.2 512K chunks 2 near-copies [6/4] [__UUUU]
[01:29] <DubstepCraig> psusi: Even on SSD?
[01:30] <deitarion> DubstepCraig: swap on an SSD will drastically shorten the lifetime of the SSD in many usage scenarios. Better to just buy more RAM.
[01:30] <psusi> DubstepCraig, hd is like 10,000 times slower than ram... ssd maybe only 3,500 times slower... so better, but still slow
[01:30] <butch128> active raid10 sdc2[0](F) sdd2[2] sdf2[3] sde2[6](S) sda2[4] sdb2[5]
[01:30] <psusi> and yea, intensive writes wear out ssds
[01:30] <DubstepCraig> It's not my SSD
[01:30] <DubstepCraig> It's rented.
[01:30] <DubstepCraig> From OVH
[01:30] <psusi> butch128, doh... looks like you'll be restoring from backup
[01:30] <butch128> why is it no longer resyncing sdc1? thats the one that fails
[01:31] <psusi> butch128, check dmesg or /var/log/kern.log for errors... one of the remaining "good" drives probably has some bad sectors
[01:31] <deitarion> DubstepCraig: I'd be surprised if they don't have some kind of clause in your contract for people who knowingly abuse their hardware that way.
[01:31] <butch128> EXT4-fs (dm-2): Remounting filesystem read-only
[01:32] <DubstepCraig> deitarion: Meh
[01:32] <butch128> Core dump to |/usr/share/apport/apport 3600 7 0 pipe failed
[01:32] <butch128> yea...
[01:32] <psusi> butch128, lvm on top of raid10?
[01:32] <butch128> yes
[01:32] <Sire> What's the name of the command line IRC client, ircis or something?
[01:33] <deitarion> Sire: irssi is the most popular one.
[01:33] <claude2> irssi is one
[01:33] <butch128> my md0 array is still fine though...
[01:33] <psusi> Sire, I was always partial to BitchX myself, but I think irsii was another
[01:33] <Sire> psusi, irsii should be it, thanks.
[01:34] <psusi> butch128, it pays to run a SMART check of the disks periodically
[01:34] <deitarion> Sire: If it's in the Ubuntu repositories, it'd be either irssi or ircii. irsii doesn't exist.
[01:34] <ffv> anyone here?
[01:34] <deitarion> ffv: No. We're all down at the bar.
[01:34] <psusi> damn straight... except my bar is at my desk
[01:34] <butch128> clearly... so basically no way of recovering eh?
[01:35] <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.
[01:36] <Sire> deitarion, I went and got both, irssi is the correct one.
[01:37] <butch128> 2 drives failing at the same time, bah... never would have thought
[01:37] <Sire> So, does anyone have experience getting mpd and mpc to work on Ubuntu Server over SSH with the host computer having the audio device?
[01:39] <uofm49426> is there dsl like ubuntu distro
[01:40] <ffv> Hello.. I am a new user to Ubuntu. I'm trying to install ubuntu next to win 7. However in my bootloader i cAN'T find that installation. Also, i'm using my buffalo wireless card. But I got frimware missing in my options. my wireless options
[01:40] <fuzzynurfhurter> why would ubuntu just lag for no reason when opening anything?
[01:41] <ffv> Hello.. I am a new user to Ubuntu. I'm trying to install ubuntu next to win 7. However in my bootloader i cAN'T find that installation. Also, i'm using my buffalo wireless card. But I got frimware missing in my options. my wireless options
[01:41] <tomas_> hello i want it to install netbeans in ubuntu what you thing ?? and how i should install i serch in internet but doesn t convence me
[01:42] <amanATdesk> hello? anyone here know how to convert mp3 files to ogg files using avconv?
[01:43] <Radiarc> I need help getting a BCM4311 wireless card working on a Dell Vostro 1400. I installed the STA driver, but it still isnt activating. Using USB wireless at the moment
[01:43] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: "Ubuntu" as in the Unity desktop?
[01:44] <bazhang> !minimal | uofm49426
[01:44] <bazhang> !lubuntu > uofm49426
[01:44] <Pici> !floodbots | tomas_
[01:45] <fuzzynurfhurter> no i have the lubuntu desktop on xubuntu but when i try and open stuff sometimes it will lag then open 3 or so cause i clicked that many but it shouldnt be lagging though
[01:46] <ffv> Hello.. I am a new user to Ubuntu. I'm trying to install ubuntu next to win 7. However in my bootloader i cAN'T find that installation. Also, i'm using my buffalo wireless card. But I got frimware missing in my options. my wireless options
[01:46] <deitarion> ffv: Repeating yourself, trying to dominate the conversation will just get you kicked. If those of us who are at the computer don't know, we don't know.
[01:46] <bazhang> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/avconv.1.html amanATdesk
[01:47] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: Ahh. Latency issues. That's a tricky one and I can't really spare the time to diagnose it right now. You could experiment with the `iotop` and `latencytop` tools.
[01:47] <amanATdesk> bazhang, thanks.
[01:47] <deitarion> ffv: However, I will try to help how I can. First, could you clarify what you mean by "However in my bootloader i cAN'T find that installation."
[01:47] <amanATdesk> I just had an idea, to try and see if vlc could do it, seems to have worked, but it makes me convert them one at a time (got 7 files)
[01:47] <fuzzynurfhurter> never heard of em
[01:48] <amanATdesk> I'll go read up the link you referred to bazhang
[01:48] <bazhang> http://libav.org/avconv.html#Description amanATdesk and this too
[01:48] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: "iotop" shows you a breakdown of what's busying your hard drive.
[01:48] <amanATdesk> cool, will look at both
[01:48] <amanATdesk> thanks again baz
[01:48] <amanATdesk> bazhang,
[01:48] <fuzzynurfhurter> sry deitarion i newish to linux but been workin at it lol
[01:48] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: "latencytop" shows you a breakdown of what might be taking too much of your kernel's attention in one go.
[01:49] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: No worries. A lot of people have never heard of iotop and latencytop.
[01:50] <fuzzynurfhurter> ok ok i see what u mean its like a more detail taskmanager processes type thing
[01:50] <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.
[01:50] <ffv> deitarion: thankyou. I have 3 installion of win7. I insalled a ubuntu copy 12.04lts under win7 using the function "...whatever...". But I can't boot it after installation
[01:51] <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.
[01:52] <reggal> k
[01:52] <reggal> I'll try remastering a Ubuntu Live CD then
[01:52] <reggal> !LiveCD
[01:53] <bazhang> ffv a wubi install then
[01:53] <bazhang> !wubi | ffv
[01:54] <marc_12314> not sure what to look for.. I have a raid 1 array (mdadm) with  sda1 and sdb1.  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 ?
[01:55] <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".
[01:56] <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
[02:00] <lopsided> deitarion: what version are you running, I'm on 10.04
[02:01] <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
[02:02] <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
[02:03] <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
[02:04] <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.
[02:05] <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.
[02:06] <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
[02:07] <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] <deitarion> JohnTeddy: I can check. Give me an example URL.
[02:09] <deitarion> JohnTeddy: I only use Chrome for certain tasks that Firefox can't do (like testing sites I wrote to make sure they work properly in Chrome) and I almost never go anywhere with Flash in Chrome.
[02:12] <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?
[02:13] <deitarion> u4ia74: I'd chastise you for repeating your question, but this time I actually did forget to answer. I don't use PeaZip myself, but it probably is asking you to put "/tmp" in the box.
[02:14] <JohnTeddy> deitarion: Every youtube url.
[02:14] <deitarion> JohnTeddy: Ok. One sec.
[02:15] <deitarion> JohnTeddy: It's working for me right now with "Where the Hell is Matt? 2012". When did you receive this Chrome update?
[02:16] <deitarion> JohnTeddy: ...and is it the Google Chrome build or the Ubuntu-provided Chromium build? ...because I don't run Google's closed-source Chrome build ever.
[02:16] <JohnTeddy> deitarion: The google chrome
[02:17] <deitarion> JohnTeddy: Can't help you then. Google's Chrome comes with a completely different Flash plugin based on a completely different API.
[02:17] <JohnTeddy> Perhaps it's because I have flashblock installed.
[02:17] <rainbowwarrior2> Hello, I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a compaq cq60 laptop and my sound is no longer working, anyone got any idea how i can fix this please ?
[02:17] <JohnTeddy> I'll disable the plugin and see what happens then.
[02:18] <fourfourthree> is there a way to forward desktop notifications to growl and growl for windows?
[02:18] <deitarion> JohnTeddy: Perhaps. I suggest using Chrome's built-in ClickToPlay functionality instead. Among other things, it's safer.
[02:18] <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...
[02:19] <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"?
[02:20] <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)
[02:21] <u4ia74> The program errors out saying it's out of disk space when there is plenty, for some reason...  That's where I started.
[02:22] <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.
[02:23] <u4ia74> I'm actually trying to use FreeARC to do some compression.
[02:23] <u4ia74> With Peazip as the interface.
[02:23] <reggal> penis petrol
[02:24] <reggal> Are you WHEAR WEAR SCRABBLY AM LOW PAICKING!
[02:24] <xangua> !ops | reggal
[02:24] <Corey> reggal: Enough.
[02:25] <deitarion> u4ia74: That would depend on how PeaZip is coded. It may or may not support it.
[02:25] <Roga_Danar> .
[02:26] <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.
[02:27] <jfcaron> xangua: No I removed flash entirely before installing gnash.
[02:27] <deitarion> u4ia74: About moving the system temp folder?
[02:27] <jfcaron> deitarion: How do I check that?
[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?
[02:28] <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.
[02:29] <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
[02:30] <dr_willis> make plans for a clean reinstgall - if the upgradeing fails..
[02:30] <jfcaron> deitarion: I'm using the non-fglrx Radeon driver.
[02:31] <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.
[02:33] <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)
[02:34] <init[dot]d> HelloWorld321, nope
[02:34] <dr_willis> HelloWorld321:  you need to run the addational-drivers tool

[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.
[02:36] <dr_willis> you might  need to use thee  nomodeset option untill you  get the drivers installed.. depends on the card.
[02:40] <colin__> hi y'all
[02:40] <colin__> im new here
[02:40] <dr_willis> hello.
[02:40] <colin__> hi
[02:41] <colin__> im here from mint
[02:41] <colin__> using ubuntu 12 now
[02:41] <Roga_Danar> I just left mint for U12 as well.
[02:41] <colin__> then we  have something in common
[02:41] <Roga_Danar> Yeah, I liked Mint okay but there were a lot of compatibility issue with my hardware.
[02:41] <colin__> had a nightmare to get it running though
[02:42] <colin__> monitor is broke
[02:42] <Roga_Danar> Colin: on your laptop?
[02:42] <colin__> had to plug computer into tv, to get EDID file to work
[02:42] <colin__> desktop
[02:42] <Roga_Danar> Oh, okay.
[02:42] <colin__> was a crazy idea
[02:42] <colin__> but worked, allowing me to install graphics driver
[02:43] <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] <Roga_Danar> Yeah, well it's always a crapshoot.
[02:44] <colin__> then someone said try ubuntu, but it also flickerd
[02:44] <colin__> just having dilemma with workspace swithcer now
[02:44] <Roga_Danar> Mint is a child of Ubuntu, so no surprises there.
[02:44] <mattalexx> I have an Ubuntu Lucid virtual machine (Virtualbox) in a Debian Squeeze guest. For some reason, the Ubuntu filesystem just suddenly went read-only. On reboot, I am dropped into a BusyBox shell. How can I fix this?
[02:45] <colin__> i used to use the cube thing
[02:45] <colin__> but i dont think its necesary now
[02:46] <blackshirt> hello
[02:46] <colin__> oh i think i get this now
[02:46] <dr_willis> cube was only necessary to impress windows users. ;)
[02:46] <colin__> yeh, well that was me
[02:46] <colin__> i see theres 4 workspaces in a squre
[02:46] <blackshroud> hi all
[02:46] <blackshirt> hi blackshroud
 cube was only necessary to impress windows users. ;)   lol
[02:47] <dr_willis> now the compiz ZOOM feature.. that was handy
[02:47] <blackshirt> Looks has similat nicks with me
[02:47] <colin__> thing is, i cant drag windows from wroskpace to workspace can i?
[02:48] <dr_willis> one tim for  12.04 ussage. - the SUPER key when held , shows a hotkey list. ;)  also check out tapping the alt key  to get into the 'HUD' ;P
[02:48] <dr_willis> colin__:  it doesnt work that way  any more by design. draggint to the edges sort of sticks/resizes to that edge now
[02:49] <dr_willis> click the workspaces icon, then you can drag windows around workspaces
[02:49] <blackshroud> hey blackshirt
[02:49] <colin__> i dont get it, wheres the icon
[02:49] <dr_willis> or rightclick, and send to another workspace
[02:49] <dr_willis> let side panel. has a workspaces/desktops icon. 4 boxs
[02:50] <dr_willis> at least mine does. ;P
[02:50] <dr_willis> or theres hotkeys to show all the workspaces.
[02:50] <colin__> i click it, it just takes me to the workspace
[02:51] <dr_willis> check out some of the USINGunity videos at youtube and otehr tutirial sites perhaps
[02:51] <colin__> dont use unity
[02:51] <colin__> i got the gnome-session-fallback thing
[02:51] <colin__> one small thing thats bothering me...
[02:52] <colin__> suppose i open firefox from panel
[02:52] <LenovoPC2342> Installed Ubuntu 12.04 (LXDE Desktop) on my Lenovo Thinkpad X61s.   Problem:  When I reboot Ubuntu, it enters the network boot (pxe??) and won't restart. Solution?
[02:52] <colin__> from top panel
[02:52] <colin__> the top of the firefox window is hidden behind the panel
[02:52] <colin__> makes it harder to move it aroun
[02:53] <bagas> ternyata masih ada jg yang pake IRC
[02:53] <lucas-arg> i cant find startup apps in gnome-shell... where or how can i enable it again?
[02:53] <JoseeAntonioR> !english | bagas

[02:54] <blackbear008> ?
[02:54] <colin__> can anyone help me,
[02:54] <blackbear008> yes?
[02:55] <blackshroud> @colin__ what do you mean hidden behind the panel?
[02:55] <bagas> pardon me.. just say hallo for u guys
[02:55] <colin__> when i open firefox or any other app from top panel,  the top of the app, is behind the panel
[02:55] <colin__> it doesnt push it far down enough
[02:55] <blackshroud> @colin__ screenshot?
[02:55] <colin__> hold on
[02:56] <blackshirt> colin_, what the problems?
[02:56] <blackbear008> - colin__, 10:55 -
[02:56] <blackbear008> when i open firefox or any other app from top panel,  the top of the app, is behind the panel
[02:56] <colin__> i cant move the window away very easily
[02:56] <blackbear008> it doesnt push it far down enough
[02:57] <blackbear008> colin_:are you using Ubuntu12?
[02:57] <colin__> yh
[02:57] <blackbear008> snapshots.
[02:57] <blackshirt> bagas, lare pundi om?
[02:57] <blackshirt> colin_, what the problems?
[02:58] <colin__> it doesnt move it down far enough to drag about easily enough
[02:58] <colin__> where do i put pic
[02:59] <deitarion> colin__: Have you tried holding Alt and left-clicking somewhere other than the titlebar? I'm not sure about Unity, but most DEs bind that to moving windows.
[02:59] <blackbear008> any where , give us your URL.
[03:00] <OerHeks> paste image > http://imagebin.org/?page=add
[03:01] <colin__> http://imagebin.org/217417
[03:01] <colin__> there
[03:01] <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. ;)
[03:02] <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
[03:03] <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
[03:04] <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
[03:05] <blackshroud> and yeah alt+click will move the windows
[03:05] <colin__> that CCSM thing, i cant even move it, cuz hte title bar is hidden behind panel
[03:05] <colin__> unless i mess around with stuff
[03:05] <namig> hi everyone
[03:05] <blackshroud> have you simply tried moving the panel?
[03:05] <namig> yes
[03:05] <colin__> cant i just have it appear slightly lower
[03:05] <namig> no
[03:06] <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] <E3D3> #ubuntu-beginners
[03:07] <blackshroud> thumbs up @E3D3
[03:07] <namig> yeah
[03:10] <E3D3> blackshroud, ?, I forgot to prepend /join, but thanks.
[03:10] <histo> Is qemu broken or did it undergo changes?
[03:10] <namig> broken
[03:10] <histo> I just installed qemu and qemu -h results in nothing.
[03:10] <histo> command not found
[03:11] <deitarion> histo: Did you try `kvm -h`?
[03:11] <bazhang> namig, hi
[03:11] <bazhang> namig, did you have an ubuntu support question
[03:11] <deitarion> histo: I think I remember the KVM branch taking over as the official QEmu. Give me a sec to reinstall it and I'll check.
[03:11] <namig> no i am just first time using irc
[03:12] <histo> deitarion: that's it
[03:12] <wingnut2626> is there support for ubuntu on android phones in here?
[03:12] <bazhang> namig, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic  ; this channel is support ONLY
[03:12] <bekor> hey all, touchy subject, and a mature of opinion,but any one like me that is not a huge unity fan running 12.04?what is your favorite alternative desktop environment for 12.04
[03:12] <colin__> i get sent a free crucial M4 128G ssd by mistake
[03:12] <namig> ok i understood
[03:12] <destination> hello
[03:12] <bazhang> bekor, #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:13] <colin__> gonna keep it
[03:13] <nitrohax> bekor, i tried running compiz on the whole system. but then it crashed and i couldnt' get it to load the gui and lost everything
[03:13] <deitarion> bekor: I run LXDE because it's the lightest, fastest thing I know of that still provides a polished desktop out of the box. (More CPU and RAM for more important things)
[03:14] <bazhang> nitrohax, deitarion feel free to join him in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:14] <blackshroud> @colin__ WINNER!
[03:14] <colin__> they sent me 2
[03:14] <colin__> is unfair to take it off me now
[03:14] <deitarion> bazhang: I was actually preparing to leave for the night, but thanks.
[03:14] <bekor> i like the lxde idea compiz with cairo dock cool in that?
[03:14] <wingnut2626> i have jaunty installed on an android phone......i can add users but cannot log on as them.  is that a file permissions issue?
[03:14] <colin__> ive got used to having it around
[03:14] <bazhang> colin__, how does this relate to ubuntu support
[03:15] <deitarion> bekor: If you're going to stay, use PM.
[03:15] <colin__> because... im running ubuntu off the other ssd
[03:15] <CDrone> hi
[03:15] <dr_willis> bekor:  i think i noticed when i installed cairo dock (or was it awn) it added a session that was just COmpiz+the dock.
[03:15] <bazhang> colin__, thats hardware, nothing to do with tech support
[03:16] <colin__> didnt know this was tech support
[03:16] <colin__> thought it was ubuntu chat
[03:16] <dr_willis> See the chenel topic when joining. ;z0

[03:17] <djiefo> Hi. how to set set Rythmbox t normal after setting it to party mode?
[03:17] <CDrone> without havving to burn it onto a cd
[03:17] <CDrone> I want to run the windows installation
[03:17] <dr_willis> CDrone:  wubi.exe can be downloaded and use an iso file if both are in the same dir.
[03:17] <dr_willis> no need to mount the iso with any tools
[03:18] <CDrone> dr_willis, link please?
[03:18] <MonkeyDust> wubi :(
[03:18] <dr_willis> or you could copy the wubi file off the mounted iso to your hd.
[03:18] <CDrone> oh
[03:18] <dr_willis> I dont reccomend using wubi at all.  but its downloadable from the ubuntu homepage somewhere.
[03:18] <fisch246> alright my second monitor stopped being recognized. when i go into display it shows up as "unkown". it was working perfectly fine until now. what had changed was that I unplugged the monitor, and took the machine to school. now that i'm back home and it's hooked up again, it's not recognizing the monitor. i've restarted and replugged the monitor several times. i have also updated my programs several times. still no luck. any suggestions
[03:18] <fuzzynurfhurter> i wont use it
[03:19] <CDrone> dr_willis, why don't you recommend it?
[03:19] <CDrone> why not, fuzzynurfhurter?
[03:19] <dr_willis> CDrone:  its very fragile, and problematic.
[03:19] <bekor> thanks all
[03:19] <dr_willis> if i wanted to run ubuntu insode windows.. id use vbox
[03:19] <fuzzynurfhurter> easyier to just put it on a usb on go anywhere with it\
[03:19] <djiefo> Hi. how to set set Rythmbox t normal after setting it to party mode?
[03:19] <CDrone> dr_willis let me take my chances with it first, so now I should copy it from inside the iso and paste it in the same dir where the iso is, right?
[03:19] <AndChat223345> Hi,my AOC F19 LCD has a weird problem when installing and booting.installing method I use is to boot an iso with grub2 from a usb stick.It works fine on my laptop,but on my self-built desktop it ended up LCD going off,and a still running system which i figured out by the noise and lights. when I switch to another LCD,boot again and just works decently. this acciddent happens after grub2 popping out verboses ,the time which should turn to splash scre
[03:20] <dr_willis> CDrone:  or just find the wubi.exe/installer and download it. its not too large i recall.
[03:20] <OerHeks> wubi is not recommended for production work/
[03:21] <dr_willis> AndChat223345:  try the Nomodeset option?
[03:21] <dr_willis> !nomodeset
[03:21] <Borillion> I seem to not be able to install libaudiofile0
[03:22] <OerHeks> djiefo, select normal/party mode from top panel, you might need F11 to disable full screen
[03:22] <Roga_Danar> Folks, as long as you are discussing Ubuntu and getting help here, don't let other users bully you into thinking that you are in the wrong channel. Certain users have been inappropriately telling folks to go to other channels.
[03:23] <CDrone> dr_willis, I don't want an encapsulated linux on that machine, I need a dual boot system, where the unix system is able to establish thousands of TCP connections ;)
[03:23] <CDrone> mwahahaha
[03:23] <Borillion> is installing repo's from oneiric so I can get libaudiofile0 ok?
[03:23] <djiefo> OerHeks,  thx
[03:23] <dr_willis> CDrone:  then i suggestg doing an actual dual boot setup. not using wubi.
[03:24] <dr_willis> !find libaudiofile0
[03:24] <CDrone> dr_willis let's just
[03:24] <CDrone> let me just try wubi first
[03:24] <CDrone> it is a time saver thingy :D
[03:24] <AndChat223345> thx! I will do some digging in nomodset para. you guys are nice and helpful ,thank you!!
[03:24] <violinappren> Borillion: no need to add the repository, http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/libaudiofile0
[03:24] <dr_willis> Borillion:  whats needing that lib?
[03:24] <fisch246> crap my cable might be botched...
[03:24] <fisch246> gonna give a new cable a try
[03:25] <CDrone> dr_willis, what the @#$%
[03:25] <CDrone> it is working :O
[03:25] <CDrone> is that shit pre-installed?
[03:25] <CDrone> :O
[03:25] <Borillion> dr_willis Maya 2012, was working on oneiric not on pangolin yet
[03:25] <dr_willis> CDrone:  i have no idea what you are refering to...
[03:26] <CDrone> dr_willis i just booted, and the system seems already working ... I got the task bar  there
[03:26] <CDrone> :S

[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...
[03:29] <CDrone> dr_willis, no man, I burnt nothing

[03:29] <Borillion> ahh I see that its also in libc6-dev
[03:29] <CDrone> I am actually accustomed to OpenSUSE
[03:30] <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
[03:31] <Borillion> not built from source
[03:31] <Borillion> = NBS
[03:32] <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
[03:33] <dr_willis> so in this case Maya  basically needs to be updated.  its still using the old lib.
[03:34] <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

[03:48] <tdhz77> Has anybody ever taught themselves how to code from just tutorials online? Or is it something that requires higher education to master?
[03:49] <violinappren> tdhz77: all you need is good books, lots of practice and tons of reading/modifying others code
[03:50] <mattalexx> tdhz77, I learned by reading articles and forum posts on the internet. Now I have a high paying job and no debt..

[03:57] <Miguelito> Hey - what do you recommend for full backups of your system?
[03:57] <dr_willis> !backup
[03:58] <CDrone> isn't there a ""right click>> open terminal here"" thingy in ubuntu?
[03:58] <dr_willis> CDrone:  iv seen some packages in the repos that add such a feature.]
[03:59] <dr_willis> or nautilus scripts that  can do a similer thing
[04:00]  * CDrone notes that down... first ubuntu weakness recorded :P
[04:00] <dr_willis> not a ubuntu weakness at all...
[04:00] <CDrone> how to open the terminal at all,, LOL
[04:00] <CDrone> can't find it anywhere
[04:00] <CDrone> :D :D
[04:00] <dr_willis> its a feature of the file manager,  added or removed at needed
[04:01] <dr_willis> terminal? theres a hotkey combo, or tap alt and  then type 'term' and it should show up
[04:01] <CDrone> man  help me, I need bash
[04:01] <CDrone> ok let me try
[04:01] <dr_willis> or click the dash button, or add a icon to whatever panel you want.
[04:01] <dr_willis> then theres tools like guake.
[04:01] <dr_willis> !info guake
[04:02] <OerHeks> Ctrl + Alt + T works just fine
[04:02] <CDrone> where's the dash icon?
[04:02] <dr_willis> unity s big top left button. with the ubuntu logo
[04:03] <dr_willis> i tend to just use the HUD alt key..
[04:04] <CDrone> ah found it
[04:04] <violinappren> CDrone: alt + f2, type: gnome-terminal
[04:05] <CDrone> alt f2 opens that dash thingy again
[04:05] <CDrone> not bash :P
[04:05] <violinappren> CDrone: read the whole thing
[04:05] <dr_willis> thats the run somthung dialog..... so thats how its supposed to work..

[04:07] <MonkeyDust> mernilio  /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:08] <dr_willis> fuzzynurfhurter:  Huh? I just select the wallpaper i want.. and  it remembers.

[04:08] <bazhang> fuzzynurfhurter, some clients you can just right click the channel name
[04:09] <CDrone> any alternative to tab autocompletion?
[04:09] <mernilio> MonkeyDust: thanks!
[04:09] <fuzzynurfhurter> mine wont  i mean when i first load it doesnt but i select it and then can logout and back in and its there i dont understand lol
[04:09] <bazhang> fuzzynurfhurter, what client
[04:10] <fuzzynurfhurter> bazhang im talking bout like joining the #ubuntu  cause mines an unregged 1
[04:11] <CDrone> ok now
[04:11] <fuzzynurfhurter> i have put the wallpapers in /usr/share/backgrounds and it still doesnt work right
[04:11] <CDrone> where's the package manager for this thingy?
[04:11] <CDrone> what is it called?
[04:12] <fuzzynurfhurter> its in system
[04:12] <dr_willis> CDrone:  icon called 'software center' seems a good starting point...
[04:12] <fuzzynurfhurter> synapatic package manager
[04:13] <dr_willis> synaptic is not installed by default i  belive
[04:13] <dr_willis> then theres the command line tools..
[04:13] <fuzzynurfhurter> its not
[04:13] <CDrone> dr_willis, this time a found it :D thanks
[04:13] <dr_willis> 'sudo apt-get install synaptic'
[04:13]  * CDrone feels conceited 
[04:13] <CDrone> lol
[04:13] <CDrone> :D
[04:14] <CDrone> command a conquer ads :O
[04:14] <CDrone> there's command and conquer for linux?
[04:14] <CDrone> wow
[04:14] <CDrone> things changed
[04:14] <Mr_MeatWad> nope its browser based
[04:14] <CDrone> you trolling me?
[04:14] <Mr_MeatWad> nope
[04:14] <Mr_MeatWad> check it out
[04:14] <dr_willis> we dont  see your screen.. so ive no idea what you are talking about
[04:15] <dr_willis> there are 'redone' versions of a lot of the  old games that run in browsers these days.
[04:15] <fuzzynurfhurter> dr_willis u know any thing about grub writing??
[04:16] <dr_willis> fuzzynurfhurter:  all i know about grub i learned by reding the grub2 docs and the forum  and wiki pages on it. :) and lots of trial and  error
[04:16] <CDrone> libcrypto not found part of openssl
[04:16] <CDrone> although seemingly openssl is installe
[04:16] <CDrone> d
[04:16] <CDrone> what should i do?
[04:17] <fuzzynurfhurter> k well that helps alot still i have found some stuff but am having truble making them boot up
[04:17] <dr_willis> start by explainingg what you are trying to do.. so we dont  have to guess.
[04:18] <CDrone> Mr_MeatWad, you're right man
[04:18] <CDrone> it is browser based :D
[04:18] <AndChat223345> !nomodeset
[04:18] <fuzzynurfhurter> manually configuring grub for atleast 10 linux on a flash drive
[04:18] <mi3> !kernelpanic
[04:18] <dr_willis> fuzzynurfhurter:  10 iso files?
[04:18] <Mr_MeatWad> glad i could be of service
[04:19] <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
[04:20] <phillip> does anyone know about wicd
[04:20] <dr_willis> fuzzynurfhurter:  easier to have grub2 boot the iso file.
[04:20] <dr_willis> no need to extract stuff.
[04:20] <CDrone> hey
[04:20] <CDrone> i have no root account yet
[04:20] <CDrone> :S
[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] <dr_willis> !sudo | cdrom
[04:20] <CDrone> why?
[04:20] <Mr_MeatWad> lol you definitely have a root account
[04:21] <Mr_MeatWad> you just aren't using it now
[04:21] <fuzzynurfhurter> yeah but wouldnt that make it a bigger size altogether??
[04:21] <dr_willis> read sudo factoid above
[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] <wylde_> !noroot | CDrone
[04:21] <fuzzynurfhurter> i have those yumi and enetbootin
[04:22] <dr_willis> CDrone:  you DOnt use 'su' to get to root in ubuntu.. use sudo as needed
[04:22] <uw> so to build this one thing, it says my "intltool is too old.  you need later than 0.40.0".   how would i do that?  can i use apt-get?
[04:22] <CDrone> dr_willis, why? security measures?
[04:22] <fuzzynurfhurter> cdrone i always use sudo -i to get pass all that junk
[04:22] <dr_willis> !sudo CDrone
[04:22] <dr_willis> !sudo
[04:22] <Mr_MeatWad> CDrone, never run anything as root purely for sec reasons
[04:23] <CDrone> dr_willis lol
[04:23] <violinappren> CDrone: sudo -i
[04:23] <dr_willis> covered on  the wiki pages in detail...
[04:23] <CDrone> guys
[04:23] <CDrone> i know what sudo is
[04:23] <CDrone> btu sometimes I need to do a lot of top level commands without having to sudo all the time
[04:23] <CDrone> takes more typing
[04:23] <Mr_MeatWad> i know what apt-get is
[04:23] <bazhang> CDrone, so stop asking us to help you enable the root account
[04:23] <violinappren> CDrone: thats what sudo -i is for
[04:23] <bazhang> CDrone, use sudo -i
[04:23] <CDrone> Mr_MeatWad you have a point
[04:23] <dr_willis> CDrone:  aparently you dont use sudo enought to know abbout the 'sudo -i' option. ;)
[04:23] <CDrone> :D
[04:24] <vibhav> bazhang: Is using visudo supported here?
[04:24] <fuzzynurfhurter> cdrone use sudo -i then what ever u gotta do
[04:24] <CDrone> dr_willis, you're right :D lol *embarrassed *
[04:24] <CDrone> :D
[04:24] <bazhang> CDrone, its not supportedd, stop asking
[04:24] <CDrone> ok
[04:24] <CDrone> I am sorry
[04:24] <CDrone> won't speak about su in this channel again
[04:24] <CDrone> :)
[04:25] <fuzzynurfhurter> they dont like it i already tried cdrone lol
[04:25] <dr_willis> su to switch to another USer  does work.. but its not for switching to root.
[04:25] <CDrone> fuzzynurfhurter LOL
[04:25] <fuzzynurfhurter> ok on others its su
[04:25] <Mr_MeatWad> you know i should really learn all the bash commands
[04:25] <Mr_MeatWad> but im lazy
[04:26] <CDrone> Mr_MeatWad, ME TOO
[04:26] <CDrone> :D
[04:26] <dr_willis> or learn the 10% you will actually use...
[04:26] <CDrone> well
[04:26] <Mr_MeatWad> probably just the 5% a lazy ass like me will use
[04:26] <CDrone> i know 50% of what I actually use :P
[04:26] <CDrone> Mr_MeatWad EXACTLY
[04:26] <CDrone> LOL
[04:26] <CDrone> we think alike man
[04:26] <fuzzynurfhurter> cdrone it gets easyier with that command lol
[04:26] <vibhav> !offtopic | CDrone Merwin
[04:26] <bazhang> !enter | CDrone
[04:27]  * CDrone puts his hands over his head
[04:27] <CDrone> ok man
[04:27] <Mr_MeatWad> kinda like how i was supposed to learn all the dos commands
[04:27] <Mr_MeatWad> and learned maybe four of them
[04:27] <bazhang> Mr_MeatWad, thats enough
[04:27] <KRomeleoN> sooooooo
[04:28] <fuzzynurfhurter> lmao meatwad i bout done forgot most of those
[04:28] <Mr_MeatWad> bazhang, enough of what sir?
[04:28] <bazhang> Mr_MeatWad, enough chit chat. this is support only
[04:28] <Mr_MeatWad> yeah i pretty much just remember ipconfig
[04:28] <Mr_MeatWad> and cd
[04:28] <fuzzynurfhurter> lmao me 2
[04:28] <Mr_MeatWad> yeah we are talking about dual booting windows in dos
[04:29] <Mr_MeatWad> and what commands we actually remember
[04:29] <KRomeleoN> dir/w/p
[04:29] <bazhang> thats nothing to do with ubuntu support
[04:29] <fuzzynurfhurter> cd
[04:29] <Mr_MeatWad> it could
[04:30] <Mr_MeatWad> i could load up a vm of windows and see if i can forward my ports to it through a ubuntu server
[04:30] <KRomeleoN> what backup services work with deja dup other than ubuntu one and dropbox?
[04:30] <kosko> so aptitude is an apt-get wrapper?
[04:30] <Mr_MeatWad> can you tell me how to do that bazhang?
[04:30] <bazhang> Mr_MeatWad, do what
[04:31] <mi3> !64bit
[04:31] <dr_willis> kosko:  front end to dpkg i think is more accurate
[04:31] <Mr_MeatWad> load up a virtual machine of windows on a ubuntu server and forward the ports through my system to the windows system
[04:31] <fuzzynurfhurter> what is a good desktop app to change the background and all??
[04:31] <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
[04:32] <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
[04:33] <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
[04:34] <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
[04:35] <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
[04:36] <KRomeleoN> i want the home folder to get backed up weekly
[04:36] <KRomeleoN> i want to use amazon cloud
[04:36] <dr_willis> backed up to where?
[04:36] <KRomeleoN> but i dont think i can with that service
[04:37] <fuzzynurfhurter> would iotop be a good thing??
[04:38] <Corey> fuzzynurfhurter: In what sense?
[04:38] <MonkeyDust> KRomeleoN  you can use cron to backup weekly
[04:39] <Guest1> Anybody here?
[04:39] <fuzzynurfhurter> to find out what is running in processes
[04:39] <witeshark> how can I restore the system menu in 11.10 w/unity?

[04:41] <MonkeyDust> witeshark  yes, but that's not the correct commad, moment
[04:42] <MonkeyDust> witeshark  this resets compiz to defaults gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz
[04:42] <bazhang> !ot | mr0wl

[04:46] <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?
[04:47] <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?
[04:48] <Guest1> I'd have to look that up. Its the onboard video.

[04:50] <linux_is_my_hero> vibhav: THANKS! :-)

[04:50] <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
[04:51] <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
[04:52] <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] <phanimahesh> MageofHope: http://askubuntu.com/a/138327/45659
[04:52] <dr_willis> !terminal
[04:53] <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
[04:54] <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
[04:55] <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'
[04:56] <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
[04:57] <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.
[04:58] <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?
[04:59] <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] <dr_willis> rember to tell it like sdb. not sdb1
[04:59] <brettJames_> Installing alongside of windows is there any downside?
[05:00] <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
[05:01] <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
[05:02] <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
[05:03] <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
[05:04] <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
[05:05] <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
[05:06] <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
[05:07] <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
[05:08] <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?
[05:09] <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
[05:10] <dr_willis> !headers
[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
[05:11] <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?
[05:12] <vibhav> Guest1: What is the name of your onboard video card>
[05:12] <niocora> Guest1: What MoBo?
[05:12] <vibhav> ?
[05:12] <MonkeyDust> niocora  motherboard
[05:12] <crackerjackz> i'm  trying to get dual display working but when i go to system > prefrences > monitors it only shows my laptops display, i'm trying to use my tv as a display using vga cable
[05:12] <niocora> Yes.
[05:12] <niocora> What is it's name?
[05:12] <dr_willis> onboard video.. is stilla graphics 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,
[05:13] <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] <crackerjackz> Guest1, when trying to boot from the live cd?
[05:13] <dr_willis> guest1 tryed the  nomode option yet?
[05:14] <crackerjackz> Guest1, or try loading it with noacpi
[05:14] <dr_willis> !nomodeset
[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?
[05:15] <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"
[05:16] <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] <niocora> crackerjack: Use your drivers settings?
[05:16] <vibhav> crackerjackz: What audio can you here
[05:16] <crackerjackz> vibhav, im trying to play a movie on tv for my friend so i hear the audio from the movie im trying to play
[05:16] <niocora> Guest1: Have you got an option to boot safe mode when your computer first starts?
[05:17] <crackerjackz> niocora, where do i find that at?
[05:17] <Guest1> safe mode for windows, or ubuntu?
[05:17] <niocora> When your computer first starts up after the BIOS.
[05:17] <niocora> ubuntu.
[05:18] <niocora> Guest1: You should have a list of OS's to boot and can swap between them with the arrow keys.
[05:18] <Guest1> niocora I only saw Windows XP Home Editition and Ubuntu.
[05:19] <niocora> Are you sure those are the only two?
[05:19] <Guest1> Yes
[05:19] <vibhav> Guest1: You are still on the boot screen?
[05:19] <vibhav> Boot Selection*
[05:19] <niocora> Guest1: When your computer first starts press down on the keyboard to stop the timer.
[05:19] <crackerjackz> niocora, do you think rebooting will do any good? maybe the OS will detect my tv as a monitor if i have the vga cable plugged in as it's booting up?
[05:19] <Guest1> And heres the weird thing, it doesnt wait for you. If you dont move the arrows right away, it boots into windows
[05:20] <vibhav> Guest1: Yeah, thats called timeout
[05:20] <Guest1> It gives you about 1 second to move them
[05:20] <niocora> crackerjackz: You should be using your driver options first.
[05:20] <crackerjackz> niocora, where do i find that at?
[05:20] <niocora> nvidia or AMD?
[05:20] <crackerjackz> niocora, nvidia
[05:20] <Guest1> vibhav, I can go back to it once I look up my onboard video
[05:21] <niocora> Search for noveou.
[05:21]  * niocora probably spelt that wrong.
[05:21] <aeon-ltd> nouveau
[05:21] <noffle> nouveau
[05:21]  * niocora prefers AMD.
[05:21] <crackerjackz> i see something called nvidia x server settings?
[05:21] <aeon-ltd> ...
[05:21] <niocora> That one.
[05:21] <crackerjackz> in system preferances
[05:22] <niocora> You should have an option for multiple moniters in there.
[05:22] <Guest1> ok, my display adaptor is Geforce4 MX Integrated GPU
[05:23] <crackerjackz> niocora, thank you so much!
[05:23] <crackerjackz> it worked
[05:23] <niocora> YAY!
[05:24] <Guest1> Ok, now i'm going back to the OS select screen
[05:24] <niocora> Guest1: Press down as soon as you can.
[05:25] <Guest1> Ok, now i'm at the OS Select screen
[05:26] <niocora> Do you see an option for editing anything?
[05:26] <Guest1> niocora should I just choose ubuntu, or is there something else I should be doing at this screen
[05:26] <niocora> Something else.
[05:27] <niocora> Guest1: You might have to press e or one of the functions.
[05:27] <Guest1> no, I see Windows XP Home Edition and Ubuntu. I can also press F8 for troubleshooting windows, but nothing relating to ubuntu
[05:28] <Guest1> so, I should highlight ubuntu and press E?
[05:28] <niocora> Nothing at the bottom of the screen?
[05:28] <niocora> Guest1: I am not sure if it actually is e.
[05:28] <Guest1> just the part about F8 for troubleshooting windows
[05:28] <neo1691> hi, I tried installing apache server 2 and php 5.4 on 12.04 x64 desktop, and I think I messed up. Can i just delete the installation folders and start over again?? Is there a command to remove both of them so that i can try reinstalling them?
[05:28] <niocora> I don't remember.
[05:28] <uw> vibhav, thanks i was thinking it was apt-get upgrade intltool
[05:29] <Transform> Hi
[05:29] <Transform> I am using Ubuntu 12.04
[05:29] <Transform> and have strange issue
[05:29] <niocora> Guest1: Try pressing e while ubuntu is highlighted.
[05:29] <Guest1> nothing happened......should I press e then enter?
[05:30] <niocora> Guest1: And if that does nothing try F2
[05:30] <Transform> While using Chrome / firefox  , My downloads are running , but sometimes when try to visit any page it says to me that "The webpage is not available"  ?
[05:30] <Guest1> e did nothing, F2 did nothing
[05:30] <niocora> Guest1: You _shouldn't_ have to press enter.
[05:30] <Transform> What should i do to FIX it ....?
[05:30] <Degot> Hi ,All.. I've installed VirtualBox 4.1.12 to Ubuntu 12.04... But there is no /etc/init.d/vboxweb-servcie script. How to fix it ?
[05:31] <Guest1> theres no harm in pressing every letter then, you say you cant remember if it was e
[05:31] <Silversong> Hey, I am going to China in about two weeks. Anyone know how to get past the Great Firewall of China on my Ubuntu? :3
[05:31] <Guest1> let me pull up a website on this laptop so I can share a link
[05:32] <lsv> Silversong: tor?
[05:32] <shadykhan> why doesnt the ubuntu skype have spell check?
[05:32] <Silversong> I would hate to be censored from my freedom of access.
[05:32] <Silversong> lsv: tor?
[05:32] <root> well you can see that now
[05:32] <root> mt
[05:32] <Degot> Silversong: httptunnel ?
[05:33] <MonkeyDust> Silversong  Anonymous
[05:33] <Silversong> Okay obviously I've not heard of any of these programs. I'll check them out. Thanks :)
[05:33] <lsv> Silversong: www.torproject.org
[05:33] <Silversong> lsv: Thanks. I'm looking at it right now.
[05:33] <Silversong> MonkeyDust: Yeah, I know I have to go anonymous.
[05:34] <MonkeyDust> Silversong  that's not what i meant ;)
[05:34] <Silversong> Oh
[05:34] <lsv> Silversong: np
[05:34] <Silversong> I'll check out tor first
[05:37] <Silversong> Hmm. Tor may be problematic.
[05:37] <Silversong> Because it won't support plug-ins.
[05:37] <Silversong> I need YouTube :|
[05:38] <Silversong> HTTPTunnel seems it's for PCs.
[05:39] <innociv> I'm using monit and is >% cpu trigger per core or not?
[05:39] <Silversong> MonkeyDust: Were you talking about a program named Anonymous?
[05:40] <JohnTeddy> My volume control is no longer working.
[05:40] <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.
[05:41] <MonkeyDust> JohnTeddy  open a terminal and type alsamixer, see if you find something, MM means mute
[05:42] <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
[05:45] <skynix> xangua: ?
[05:45] <skynix> i think you seleckt the wrong name... :-)
[05:45] <skynix> np
[05:46] <grendal> god i hate unity...and gnome3
[05:47] <grendal> im praying by the way...
[05:47] <niocora> I like unity.
[05:47] <grendal> damn unity...
[05:47] <shadykhan> grendal, xfce
[05:47] <grendal> im the damner for my church
[05:47] <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
[05:48] <grendal> i have netbook
[05:48] <MonkeyDust> shadykhan  you can, moment
[05:48] <grendal> openvpn dialogbox does not fit on the screen
[05:49] <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
[05:50] <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
[05:51] <grendal> will the compiz manager work with this shit
[05:52] <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.
[05:53] <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
[05:54] <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
[05:55] <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?
[05:56] <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
[05:57] <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
[05:58] <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
[05:59] <brettJames_> One time when I was playing around with all of this I booted my computer and got a GRUB error
[06:00] <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.
[06:01] <MonkeyDust> MageofHope  there's this (2009!!) http://agoranetbook.kayno.net/2009/10/06/touchpad-configuration-for-ubuntu-9-10-grub-2/
[06:04] <adam__> !nounity
[06:05] <lopsided> MageofHope: http://www.synaptics.com/solutions/technology/touchpad-linux perhaps your laptop vendor can assist?
[06:07] <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?
[06:08] <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?
[06:09] <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?
[06:10] <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.
[06:11] <Nom-> awesome nosplash does work
[06:11] <Nom-> *adds to preseed file*
[06:12] <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
[06:14] <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] <chu> !nounity
[06:15] <grendal> ya MonkeyDust i have that installed
[06:15] <GeekAdmin> is there a way to automate the mouse?automate GUI (cant do what I want from terminal)
[06:16] <grendal> but like..i cant put launchers on the desktop anymore?  wtf?
[06:16] <MonkeyDust> grendal  logout, select classic, login
[06:16] <grendal> my mother is going to be pissed.  dude im telling you ive tried that.
[06:17] <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?
[06:18] <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
[06:19] <sacarlson> GeekAdmin: I've writen ruby software to automate firefox
[06:20] <grendal> oh crap..i lost all of my playlists in rythembox...THAT IS A GOD DAMNED CRIME!!
[06:20] <GeekAdmin> sacarlson:  thanks I'll look into it
[06:20] <rhizmoe> is this where i complain about default notifier silliness?
[06:21] <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. :)
[06:22] <rhizmoe> ok, lemme change tack: are there alternate notifiers for 12.04?
[06:23] <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] <MonkeyDust> Mr  /join #ubuntu-de
[06:23] <Mr> thx
[06:24] <niocora> /join #ubuntu-de
[06:24] <rhizmoe> /say
[06:26] <Mr> does someone use 12.04 unity?
[06:26] <niocora> I will.
[06:26] <MonkeyDust> Mr  most do
[06:26] <Mr> may you could do me a favor :)
[06:26] <rhizmoe> ugh, this is the only thing i use notifications for...and it's terrible!
[06:27] <rhizmoe> who has shuttleworth's email? i need to let him know how i feel about this.
[06:27] <chu> No you don't.
[06:28] <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.
[06:29] <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
[06:30] <rhizmoe> is NotifyOSD the official name? that might help.
[06:31] <rhizmoe> ah ha, it is backlogging.
[06:32] <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
[06:33] <Mr> rhizmoe: so you are using 12.04 gnome?
[06:35] <rhizmoe> Mr: i am
[06:35] <Mr> im using gnome classic *
[06:35] <rhizmoe> alright, so my bubbles are persisting for 10s, which appears to correspond to CRITICAL
[06:38] <Mr> i have a further question: when im using the updatemanager, it is showing me updates for programs like gwibber or for unity, but i have allready delete them. so what is happen, will they be installed anyways, dont matter the fact that the program not longer excsits?
[06:39] <LenovoG470> hello, friends, good day, noob here
[06:39] <digitalrain> hello
[06:39] <Mr> buenos dias amigo
[06:42] <LenovoG470> my USC has one Adobe Flash Plugin 10 and another Adobe Flash plugin, which one shall I install, thanks.
[06:42] <brettJames_> Hey anyone still here? I actually got somewhere
[06:43] <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?
[06:44] <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?
[06:45] <brettJames_> OH NICE!
[06:45] <mi3> Hello, I downloaded this theme http://www.noobslab.com/2012/03/install-eye-of-gnome-blue-gtk32-theme.html [I mean the zip file] and created the .themes folder in my home directory, and extracted it, now can someone suggest how do I install that theme ?
[06:45] <jita> I have installed openjdk-7-jre but the browsers say that java is not installed. How to fix it ?
[06:45] <brettJames_> ok so by installing the boot manager on my 1.5TB I should be good
[06:45] <Mandalord> LenovoG470: the newest adobe flash plugin is 11.2, i suggest you install it via adobe website or sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[06:45] <brettJames_> Thanks so much I finally got through this haha
[06:45] <brettJames_> have a good one guys
[06:45] <MonkeyDust> brettJames_  give it some time to get used to it
[06:46] <LenovoG470> mandalord, thanks . just add that command will do, yes?
[06:46] <LenovoG470> Mandalord, do i need to remove the GTK+ and others?
[06:46] <Mandalord> add the command and type YOUR password (it does not appear though)
[06:47] <Mandalord> LenovoG470: no i dont think so
[06:48] <LenovoG470> mandalord, so no need to remove the GTK
[06:48] <mi3> anyone ?
[06:48] <kanupatar> how can i mount my secondary hard disk in ubuntu?
[06:48] <mi3> Hello, I downloaded this theme http://www.noobslab.com/2012/03/install-eye-of-gnome-blue-gtk32-theme.html [I mean the zip file] and created the .themes folder in my home directory, and extracted it, now can someone suggest how do I install that theme ?
[06:48] <mputtr> go into disk utility and select the drive, then mount
[06:48] <kanupatar> it is not showing when i run fdisk -l
[06:48] <kanupatar> mputtr: not shown there
[06:49] <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
[06:50] <Mandalord> kanupatar: sudo fdisk -l
[06:50] <kanupatar> Mandalord: yes, it shows the partitions
[06:50] <kanupatar> but my sdb is not shown
[06:50] <kanupatar> it was there till yesterday
[06:51] <LenovoG470> mandalord, thanks, have a great day, cheerios
[06:52] <jita> I have installed openjdk-7-jre but the browsers say that java is not installed. How to fix it ?
[06:52] <jita> I am ubuntu 12.04
[06:53] <kanupatar> hi guys ..please help me
[06:53] <MonkeyDust> kanupatar  type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit and paste the url here, so we can see
[06:54] <kanupatar> MonkeyDust: wait
[06:55] <mgedmin> jita, never used java myself, but I _think_ you may need to install icedtea-7-plugin (or icedtea-6-plugin) as well
[07:04] <minas> Can I submit a game/application into the software center that runs using wine?
[07:06] <auronandace> minas: if it is your game/application with an appropriate license then i don't see why not (progress quest is there)
[07:08] <mgedmin> yeah, I can run precise in testdrive just fine; something's funky with quantal
[07:08] <minas> auronandace: It is. Thank you.
[07:11] <rob_> hi, can anyone tell me how to change which window manager starts? i need to script it so from the command line ideally, thanks!
[07:14] <MonkeyDust> rob_  you can use --replace, like compiz --replace
[07:14] <oupateddie> Is there anybody with a solution to the flashplayer problem in U 11.10. It seems as if I cannot get this to work in Firefox at all
[07:14] <rob_> MonkeyDust: sorry, what do you mean?
[07:15] <MonkeyDust> rob_  or is that not what you mean?
[07:15] <rob_> MonkeyDust: i'd like to switch the default window manager to be notion
[07:17] <Anuraj> hi
[07:18] <Anuraj> i am using ubuntu 11.10
[07:19] <MonkeyDust> rob_  can you install it? does it appear in the login menu (lightdm)?
[07:19] <Anuraj> my laptop get suspended whenn power supply goes out
[07:22] <LenovoG470> dear guys, how do I know if my ALSA needs updating, Ubuntu 11.10? Thanks
[07:23] <rob_> MonkeyDust: yeah it appears in the list
[07:23] <MonkeyDust> rob_  i'm not sure what the issue is, then
[07:23] <rob_> MonkeyDust: i tried running lightdm-set-defaults -s notion  but that doesnt seem to do anything
[07:26] <MonkeyDust> rob_  what do you want to accomplish, exactly?
[07:31] <rob_> MonkeyDust: i want to set notion to be the default window manager and set autologin so when i run 'restart lightdm' my user auto logs in and runs my window manager
[07:32] <MonkeyDust> rob_  lightdm automatically selects the session you used last time
[07:33] <MonkeyDust> rob_  i mean, select it once and it will be the used the next time you login, too
[07:35] <glosoli> hey folks anyone has idea why there was no emacs launcher created when I installed it
[07:35] <theadmin> glosoli: Because emacs is a CLI application?
[07:35] <glosoli> theadmin: no it isnt :)
[07:36] <glosoli> theadmin: emacs23 creates launcher properly
[07:36] <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
[07:37] <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
[07:38] <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
[07:41] <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 ?
[07:43] <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
[07:44] <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
[07:45] <qdb> hello . can i install http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/bcmwl-kernel-source ( 5.100.82.112 ) to 10.10 ?
[07:47] <MonkeyDust> qdb  you too, quantal in #ubuntu+1
[07:48] <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] <MonkeyDust> qdb  10.10 is EOL, no longer supported
[07:49] <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.
[07:50] <theadmin> qdb: I just said so.
[07:50] <qdb> what if turn on quantal repo then download and install then remove the repo
[07:51] <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?
[07:53] <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> Please :)
[07:53] <rob_> vampirnata: find -exec
[07:53] <theadmin> vampirnata: find your_dir -type f -exec chmod -x '{}' \;
[07:54] <rob_> :)
[07:54] <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)
[07:55] <vampirnata> sounds good. thank you theadmin
[07:58] <theadmin> vampirnata: No problem. Read "man find", it can solve you a lot of headache with complicated file operations.
[07:58] <sw> hi. I need to install sun jvm >=1.5, what package would that be? I see there's plenty of java packages floating around ...
[07:59] <osirisx11> hi, could someone please help me figure out what happened to a pet bug, 974905? i JUST got an email about it, but when I went to the URL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/974905 it is a 404
[07:59] <theadmin> sw: Sun's/Oracle's Java is not in the repositories anymore.
[07:59] <sw> theadmin: so?
[07:59] <Lounge> i thought sun's jvm was in the ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:59] <echo083> !nounity
[07:59] <theadmin> sw: ...So you go to java.com and install it according to their instructions.
[08:00] <osirisx11> sw: https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6/
[08:01] <Lounge> is it possible to run 12.04 desktop  without 3d acceleration?
[08:02] <theadmin> Lounge: Surely. Just use the Ubuntu 2D session.
[08:02] <Lounge> theadmin: oh yeah
[08:03] <theadmin> Lounge: It won't be as shiny though ;)
[08:04] <Lounge> think i might add the classic gnome2 look as alternate session
[08:04] <Lounge> i wonder if mate would be good
[08:08] <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?
[08:09]  * benjabean1 says "GOOSH-GOOSH!"
[08:11] <Mr> when im using the updatemanager, it is showing me updates for programs like gwibber or for unity, but i have allready delete them. so what is happen, will they be installed anyways, dont matter the fact that the program not longer excsits?
[08:11] <benjabean1> try running "sudo apt-get autoremove", they should go away

[08:13] <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!
[08:14] <benjabean1> what do you mean by "it hangs," maxmc?
[08:14] <maxmc> Ah, other computers on my network (windows 7) work fine
[08:15] <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
[08:16] <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 :)
[08:17] <benjabean1> do you have any extensions running?
[08:17] <maxmc> only in firefox
[08:18] <benjabean1> hold on a moment
[08:20] <benjabean1> go into chromium, press "CTRL+SHIFT+I", go to network tab, then visit "whatismyip.akamai.com"
[08:21] <maxmc> yes
[08:21] <benjabean1> @maxmc?
[08:21] <benjabean1> what happens?
[08:21] <maxmc> @benjabean1 my ip shows up
[08:21] <benjabean1> after 15 secs?
[08:21] <dudemang> Hi, I was wondering how I can list disk information without root permissions
[08:22] <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] <MonkeyDust> dudemang  df -h
[08:22] <benjabean1> let's move to private chat please maxmc
[08:22] <maxmc> @benjabean1 here is what i originally posted here: http://pastebin.com/WFvBY5hV

[08:24] <dudemang> MonkeyDust: What about hard drive model?
[08:24] <Onkeltem> Hi. Would you recommend a e-reading application for Ubuntu which supports integration with dictionaries? I need click-to-translate function.

[08:51] <k1l> Guest1: dont use ntfs. it has no rightsmanagement.
[08:51] <llutz_> Guest1: no it can't (except using wubi....)
[08:51] <[omicron]> using apt-file it says the package is on *slideshow*edubuntu (and i installed it)
[08:51] <MonkeyDust> [omicron]  it says "N: Can't select versions from package 'pessulus' as it is purely virtual"
[08:52] <[omicron]> yes
[08:52] <Guest1> so, will it be able to read my external drives, which are ntfs?
[08:52] <SwedeMike> k1l: if you by rights management mean user access permissions, then your statement is incorrect. You're probably thinking of FAT.
[08:52] <llutz_> Guest1: yes
[08:52] <k1l> Guest1: its ok for data partitions.
[08:53] <Guest1> I chose ext2, was and it seems to be installing......this is day 1 of trying to install ubuntu. Been trying to install it for 8 hours now
[08:53] <MonkeyDust> Guest1  choose ext4
[08:54] <Guest1> whats the difference between ext2 and ext4?
[08:54] <k1l> SwedeMike: simplified, yes
[08:55] <MonkeyDust> Guest1  ext4 is newer than ext2
[08:55] <Arash> hello , I want to report a problem
[08:55] <reisio> Guest1: and much faster and more suitable
[08:55] <reisio> Arash: yes?
[08:55] <Arash> I have a Wired connection and connected via VPN ,
[08:55] <Arash> in connection info
[08:55] <Arash> VPN Connection 1
[08:55] <Arash> shows the wrong IP Address
[08:55] <FloodBot1> Arash: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:55] <MonkeyDust> Arash  in 1 line, please
[08:56]  * reisio headdesks
[08:56] <reisio> Arash: wrong as in at odds with... what, exactly?
[08:56] <Arash> ok sry , my VPN Connection ip address is actually 10.0.0.x but It shows 192.168.1.5 which is my Wired connection's address
[08:57] <MonkeyDust> Arash  it's because the connection has been set to bridged, instead of NAT
[08:57] <Arash> hmmm what do you mean ?
[08:57] <Arash> the vpn server's in my hands and Its NAT
[08:58] <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 ?
[08:59] <MonkeyDust> dunno, havent used VPN, i know it from vbox
[09:00] <Arash> hmm I still think Its a GUI problem
[09:00] <Arash> what command equals ipconfig ?
[09:00] <llutz_> Arash: ifconfig
[09:00] <BlueEagle> I see that NetBeans 7.0.1 has been slaughtered in the reviews. Is it just as bad in Xubuntu as in Ubuntu, where I assume it was mostly used?
[09:00] <Arash> ppp0 - inetaddr : 10.0.0.9
[09:01] <Arash> eth0 : ip 192.168.1.5
[09:01] <llutz_> Arash: thats your vpn-connection
[09:01] <llutz_> ppp0*
[09:01] <Arash> yes but the problem is these details don't show on connection information
[09:01] <Arash> VPN Connection 1 & Wired Connection 1 both show ip address 192.168.1.5
[09:01] <Arash> which as I said , must be a GUI Problem
[09:04] <peetaur> Can someone tell me how to max my single threaded 10 Gbps network speed?
[09:05] <ikonia> transfer data
[09:05] <SwedeMike> peetaur: there are a lot of academic projects that need this, with open documentation, I suggest you start looking for that.
[09:06] <SwedeMike> peetaur: look for instance for "tcp tuning" that is a good start
[09:07] <SwedeMike> peetaur: http://datatag.web.cern.ch/datatag/howto/tcp.html might be a good start to see what's involved.
[09:08] <vampirnata> I'm hoping someone can help. I am running byobu and the ctrl-a-! shortcut to disable byobu shortcut keys is not doing anything... any ideas?
[09:13] <peetaur> okay, ty SwedeMike
[09:13] <peetaur> lots of tunables to play with...
[09:13] <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?
[09:14] <Guest1> I've been trying to install ubuntu for 8 hours now.........why is this so hard??? Here's the latest error "The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again"
[09:14] <peetaur> Do you also know a good way to test? I tried iperf, which always shows way higher speeds (nearly 10 Gbps). And I tried netcat over the pipe which is a bit random, between 560 - 750 MB/s... tests are stable and then change 5 min later. 550, 545, 570 ... 5 min later 610 620 590 etc
[09:15] <soa2ii> Guest1: 12.04? Which version? What hardware?
[09:15] <SwedeMike> peetaur: I've used iperf myself, but I haven't done that much testing. This was on hw a few years old as well, it wasn't able to saturate 10GbE
[09:16] <Guest1> a compaq presario, 2.14Ghz, 2GB ram and yes 12.04
[09:16] <ironm> it looks like I have the reason. ubuntu native ifenslave (in case there is one) doesn't understand the syntax in "interfaces". First after installing ifenslave2.6 it started to work. ... ikonia, probably you can see more than me ... do you have any idea why following configs don't work on fresh installed ubuntu-server 12.04? ... bonding-ubuntu.confs - http://paste.debian.net/175789/
[09:16] <Jacta> Anyone here using pidgin that have themed the chatbox with a theme?
[09:16] <peetaur> I can get 911 MB/s if I do 2 netcats in parallel, and 1700 MB with 4 (dual port with 2 netcats each).  Commands are like: dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M | nc host port  and  nc -l port >/dev/null
[09:18] <peetaur> (also tested with /dev/shm and it is the same speed as /dev/zero)
[09:19] <Guest1> soa2ii a compaq presario, 2.14Ghz, 2GB ram and yes 12.04
[09:21] <ironm> m477, hallo AGH :)
[09:23] <Guest1> does anybody here have expiriance with installing ubuntu?
[09:24] <bullium> d
[09:25] <k1l> Guest1: sure
[09:27] <k1l> Guest1: you can load the live-system and test ubuntu or install it from the live system. if you encounter problems make sure the iso wasnt corrupt. if there are hardware issues you could try the alternate-installer
[09:28] <X-tonic> why does firefox in ubuntu, no use its standard UI, but mix it up with its own tango icons?
[09:29] <Guest1> whats the alternate-installer?
[09:30] <oCean> !alternate | Guest1
[09:31] <Guest1> I'll try that if this fails
[09:32] <Guest1> well, I'll try it tomarrow. Its 5:30am and I've been at this since 9pm
[09:33] <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?
[09:38] <Mr> how can i make that the clook shows: Weekday /date/  hours/min./sec (12.04. gnome classic)??
[09:39] <Asmir> Hello all
[09:39] <dr_willis> hiddy hoo
[09:40] <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
[09:41] <dr_willis> Asmir:  what the exact failure?
[09:42] <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 :(
[09:43] <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
[09:44] <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 /
[09:45] <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 ;)
[09:46] <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
[09:47] <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
[09:48] <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
[09:49] <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.
[09:50] <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. ;)
[09:51] <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
[09:52] <dr_willis> !nomodeset
[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?
[09:53] <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
[09:54] <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 ;)
[09:55] <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
[09:56] <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] <maciej_> maciek
[09:56] <maciej_> hi
[09:57] <seb_> Why speak french  here ?
[09:57] <maciej_> no
[09:57] <hello_hi> hi room Q: animated character on ubuntu desktop , possible? url ?
[09:57] <seb_> :(
[09:57] <dr_willis> hello_hi:  clarify what you mean...
[09:58] <Asmir> anyway, thanks guys, you have been most helpful
[09:58] <hello_hi> dr_willis : plz don't think i am a pervert or something but i am talking something like www.virtuagirl.com except i want to modify it to make a chat bot
[09:58] <LjL> !fr | seb_
[09:58] <dr_willis> hello_hi:  check out 'hotbabe' in the medibuntu repos perhaps.
[09:59] <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
[10:00] <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..
[10:01] <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
[10:02] <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?
[10:03] <BlueEagle> lucian: Try adding this then: nomodeset
[10:03] <dr_willis> hello_hi:  but both do the same core thing.. displays images on the desktop. i dont know what you are reallly looking for a premade app to do it all? or source code to start as a base to write your own..
[10:04] <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
[10:05] <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] <lucian> s/not/now/
[10:05] <g3orge> .quit
[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"
[10:06] <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
[10:07] <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
[10:10] <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
[10:11] <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.
[10:12] <lucian> dr_willis: BlueEagle: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/317039/VID_20120622_110931.m4v
[10:12] <VectorX> hi, i changed the LightDM.conf to try multiseat and something went wrong, so i booted a live cd and reverted the file back to original, i am not getting the display back on, is there somethiong else i need to fix ?
[10:12] <lucian> dr_willis: BlueEagle: and it doesn't just happen in lightdm, i get the same behaviour after i log in
[10:13] <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
[10:14] <sagarchalise> dr_willis: those inside find
[10:14] <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...
[10:15] <dr_willis> bbl gotta head home.
[10:16] <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
[10:17] <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.
[10:18] <skramer_> busfahrer: myself, I found that it sometimes works without problems & sometimes I need the workaround...
[10:19] <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.
[10:21] <sourcer_> hello
[10:21] <sourcer_> I'm having some problems connecting to samba from windows, can anyone give me some tips ?
[10:22] <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
[10:23] <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
[10:24] <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?
[10:25] <sourcer_> BlueEagle: I edited windows Credentials and put in only the username
[10:25] <sourcer_> initialy it was using WINDOWS-PC\username
[10:26] <BlueEagle> try servername\username instead. See if that helps
[10:27] <sourcer_> BlueEagle: now it's saying that I do not have permision to access \\SERVERNAME
[10:29] <X-tonic> how do i search archives on http://planet.ubuntu.com/ ?
[10:30] <sirriffsalot> Supposing I have a computer that has several spaces for hard disks... is it possible to transfer data between two having connected them in the same computer?
[10:31] <lucian> BlueEagle: xdm appears to work. butt ugly, but works
[10:31] <jrib> sirriffsalot: of course
[10:32] <sirriffsalot> jrib, how would I go about doing this then? Using ubuntu on both:P
[10:32] <jrib> sirriffsalot: boot your system, click on the hard drive in nautilus, copy and paste
[10:32] <sirriffsalot> Wtf?
[10:32] <sirriffsalot> jrib, nothing more?
[10:32] <jrib> sirriffsalot: nope
[10:32] <sirriffsalot> jrib, now that I'm so used to a challenge in linux, this was disappointing:D
[10:33] <sirriffsalot> jrib, cheers then:)
[10:33] <jrib> sirriffsalot: if you can't find the hard disk (it used to get displayed in the sidebar), you can usually find the partitions mounted in /media
[10:33] <BlueEagle> lucian: Well, I'm not one for eye candy myself. :P
[10:34] <lucian> BlueEagle: hmm, 3d stuff is also off. at least it's using unity2d
[10:34] <lucian> not great
[10:37] <dddbmt> Hey guys. My Spotify client suddenly start crashing when starting up. If I do "strace -e spotify" it ends with a "Segmentatin fault".
[10:37] <dddbmt> Any ideas?
[10:40] <BlueEagle> !msg | sourcer_
[10:40] <geirha> dddbmt: Not much #ubuntu can help you with I think. Spotify is non-free, so you'll have to report that bug to spotify.
[10:41] <dddbmt> geirha, Alright, I'll try #spotify first and then send a bug-report - thanks :)
[10:41] <sourcer_> BlueEagle: sorry for that, you know any other things that I could try ?
[10:42] <BlueEagle> sourcer_: Apart from re-reading the documentation and starting from scratch, nope.
[10:42] <BlueEagle> lucian: That may indicate a broken 3d-driver. Try looking for an upgrade.
[10:43] <lucian> BlueEagle: it's a fresh install
[10:43] <BlueEagle> lucian: Which is why looking for an upgrade is a good idea.
[10:44] <BlueEagle> lucian: If it doesn't work out of the box it may need to be fixed. :)
[10:45] <sirriffsalot> jrib, yeah, that much I've gotten the hang of:) Cheers

[10:49] <Goeland86> hey guys, question, I'm trying to setup ubuntu 12.04 server with encrypted-homes for users, but when I do adduser --encrypt-home <user> it fails
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> oupateddie: go to http://pastie.org and paste the text there and hit paste, when the page changes, copy the new URL in the address bar and paste it here
[10:49] <iceroot> hello_hi: you cant use a windows screensaver inside the real ubuntu system, just running it with wine in the own wine desktop
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: source: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=bash+rename+JPG+to+jpg&kp=1      nothing special...
[10:51] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, the first link you had worked

[10:51] <Goeland86> guys, anyone working on Server 12.04 that can help me setup ecryptfs properly?
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: all I did was search though, which you could have done.....
[10:51] <Goeland86> I get the error "ecryptfs module not loaded"
[10:51] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, I know, but I knew you'd do it for me. :)
[10:52] <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$/ in case you have files named like: AJPG.JPG :)
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: try duckduckgo too, different results
[10:53] <jrib> Roasted: you should probably change /.JPG/ to /\.JPG$/ 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] <wsws3> kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[11:05] <ActionParsnip> Ny0: then reboot
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> jgrep: why do I need that?
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> zveda: windows won't run in Wine, you need virtualbox
[11:06] <Mr> ActionParsnip: how does the date comand works.?
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Mr: read the man page
[11:06] <zveda> uits not windows
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> zveda: "zveda> i have this windows cd

[11:07] <zveda> it's some medical cd

[11:08] <senotem> zveda: better use virtualbox
[11:08] <zveda> hm.. but I have very limited downloads
[11:09] <zveda> and I dont have a windows cd to install
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> zveda: then you'll just have to try, install wine and it will pull in a decent version
[11:10] <aaa> my machine gets stuck a few times a week. how can i diagnose the problem?
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> oupateddie: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

[11:11] <fidel> aaa: can you login via ssh to that box if it is 'stuck'
[11:11] <fidel> or in other words - could you define 'stuck'
[11:11] <reisio> fidel: little proof he can even respond to a question as yet
[11:13] <rainbowwarrior2> hello , i am running Ubuntu 12.04 Lts on a compaq cq60 laptop with a Nvidia MCP77/78 sound card and my sound has stopped working, anyone got any idea how i can fix this please ?
[11:13] <aaa> it's tsuck , so the mouse and keyboard don't respond. i don't know what is ssh, but without keyboard and mouse i can't do anything...
[11:14] <aaa> it's get stuck while only aMule is active
[11:14] <fidel> aaa: you could try pressing: 'ctrl' + 'alt'+'f1' next time to see if the box reacts on that ....but this makes only sense if you are used to tty/terminal
[11:14] <senotem> try to update aMule
[11:14] <senotem> or google for such a problem
[11:15] <emillo> hello, I have a problem with fonts in libreoffice documents: all is good under gnome/unity, but in wmaker the fonts are rendered not as good inside the document
[11:15] <reisio> emillo: use gnome/unity
[11:15] <emillo> screenshot http://gnufunk.org/~emillo/oognome.png
[11:15] <aaa> what is tty/terminal? ctrl+alt+f12 didn't respond last time
[11:15] <emillo> http://gnufunk.org/~emillo/oowmaker.png
[11:15] <reisio> aaa: try F2, and try another nick name
[11:15] <emillo> reisio: it's too slow
[11:16] <reisio> emillo: try Xfce, then
[11:16] <lucian> BlueEagle: you were right, lightdm appears to work now
[11:16] <emillo> reisio: no hopes for wmaker?
[11:16] <bestdnd> that nick is better?
[11:17] <quixotedon> bestdnd: have you tried logging as a different user ? (as said by reisio)
[11:17] <reisio> emillo: you'd have to learn the dark arts of manual text rendering configuration
[11:17] <reisio> bestdnd: infinintely
[11:17] <reisio> and also infinitely
[11:18] <bestdnd> i only have one user. should i make a new one?
[11:18] <quixotedon> bestdnd: no, u don't have to, try logging as a guest
[11:18] <osirisx11> hi, could someone please help me figure out what happened to a pet bug, 974905? i JUST got an email about it, but when I went to the URL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/974905 it is a 404
[11:18] <bestdnd> i can't know i advance that it crashes, it can take a few days
[11:19] <emillo> reisio: thanks
[11:20] <oupateddie> ActionParsnip	 still not working... shows File: libflashplayer.so as the installed plugin
[11:20] <quixotedon> bestdnd: so, can u try again?
[11:22] <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 ?
[11:23] <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.
[11:24] <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 !!!
[11:25] <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
[11:26] <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...
[11:27] <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
[11:28] <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
[11:29] <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
[11:30] <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
[11:31] <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)
[11:32] <reisio> "change the data's partition"?
[11:33] <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 ...
[11:34] <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?
[11:35] <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/
[11:36] <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
[11:37] <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?
[11:39] <jiohdi> oupateddie, it has a text file w/instructions but there is only one lib file to move
[11:40] <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
[11:41] <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?
[11:42] <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
[11:43] <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
[11:44] <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)
[11:45] <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"
[11:46] <JLuc> (but i'm not sure i'm an expert !!!)
[11:46] <asad2005> network backup app suggestion ?
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> !backup
[11:49] <Sketcy_fiction> hi channel does anyone know a good web designer channel?
[11:49] <reisio> #websites
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> asad2005: I'd go for SFTP on the clients and rsync :), or alternatively setup a central store of data and then you only backup that
[11:50] <asad2005> i mean like deja-dup but i want to back up to my network drive
[11:50] <Sketcy_fiction> thanks
[11:50] <bestdnd> all set up as <ActionParsnip> said. thanks for all the help
[11:51] <SkippersBoss> jluc ?? are you talking about /home ?? I think most of us have that setup in that way
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> asad2005: what system is it sharing with?
[11:53] <asad2005> ActionParsnip: its a synology server
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> asad2005: what does it use to share the files?
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> asad2005: samba? sftp? ftp?
[11:56] <asad2005> i can set it as nfs or samba at least
[11:58] <JLuc> yes SkippersBoss i want /home in a dedicated partition and look forward on the way to achieve this while installing ubuntu
[11:59] <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] <ActionParsnip> asad2005: samba will make it easily accessible over LAN and easy to backup
[12:00] <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
[12:01] <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 :)
[12:02] <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 :-)
[12:03] <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.
[12:04] <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 :)
[12:05] <JLuc> okok
[12:05] <JLuc> i go on uninstalling HP software on w7 so as to get max space for data and ubuntu
[12:06] <reisio> JLuc: don't forget to defrag
[12:06] <MonkeyDust> JLuc  like so : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054136/
[12:07]  * mi3 is away: NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, PHRICK!
[12:07]  * mi3 is back (gone 00:00:10)
[12:07] <SunTsu> mi3: den don#t public away anyway
[12:07] <DJones> !away > mi3
[12:07] <mi3> yeah, ok!
[12:08] <scorpion54131> hello
[12:08] <scorpion54131> !list
[12:08] <JLuc> thank you for advises
[12:08] <scorpion54131> !bot
[12:08] <JLuc> it takes longer to uninstall unwanted softs that to install w7...
[12:08] <reisio> it's funny whoever told the bot about !list clearly is an "offender" :p
[12:09] <MonkeyDust> i say! !list should show the !it factoid!
[12:10] <reisio> MonkeyDust: which one is that
[12:10] <morsnowski> !it
[12:10] <reisio> :p
[12:10] <morsnowski> :)
[12:11] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust: that was a "hello" followed by "!list", not "ciao"
[12:14] <qdb> hello. if i install 10.04, is there ppa for it with new 3.4... kernel with intel gma 3600 driver enabled, and after installing it bcmwl-kernel-source - wifi driver should work. i have searched in 10.04 ppa page yesterday but have not found ..
[12:14] <reisio> doesn't matter, why would you install 10.04
[12:16] <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
[12:17] <ikonia> qdb: gnome 2 is dead
[12:17] <qdb> ikonia, stable debian uses it ) and also it uses firefox 3.....
[12:18] <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
[12:19] <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
[12:20] <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] <ManDay> Ubuntu comes without python 3 o_O ?!
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> morsnowski: 12.04 uses gnome desktop
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> morsnowski: it just uses a different shell (Unity)
[12:20] <reisio> qdb: right, and Firefox 3 is dead as well
[12:21] <reisio> qdb: Xfce is a lot like GNOME 2, if that's what you're after
[12:21]  * morsnowski is going to install it in a vm once more
[12:21] <jrib> ManDay: it's in the repositories
[12:21] <ManDay> jrib: I'd have thought it would be default, thanks
[12:21] <vibhav> jrib: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python3
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> !find python3
[12:22] <mint_> hi! am moving my ubuntu install to ssd..i copy/pasted data via live cd..i am chrooted in my install, but grub does not install..help
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> mint_: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video
[12:23] <qdb> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386 i could not find here .. with "kernel", "3.4" , "linux" ...
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> qdb: the 3.4 kernel is not suitable for Lucid
[12:25] <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
[12:26] <qdb> ActionParsnip, as i know people have compiled it to get intel gma 3600 driver
[12:27] <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> ActionParsnip, may be just people do not need it?
[12:27] <wingnut2626> i have jaunty on a mobile phone.  how can i add more current repositories so that i can get more software?
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> qdb: you may install it but you will not be supported here, your call
[12:28] <qdb> btw i am downloading quantal
[12:30] <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
[12:35] <OerHeks> wingnut2626, jaunty is EOL, so you better put something new on your mobile thing.

[12:50] <alex_under> sure
[12:50] <vinicius_> oiee
[12:51] <L3top> alex_under: you should quote what you echo, but I am not convinced that is the issue, so echo "suspend" > level

[12:53] <alex_under> ActionParsnip *
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> alex_under: don't use sudo for gui apps, use gksudo
[12:53] <inashdeen> Hi, can someone point me to the translators irc?
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> alex_under: you can run: echo "suspend" | sudo tee /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb1/1-2/power/level
[12:54] <alex_under> tee: level: Invalid argument
[12:54] <Teth> I have some questions about SSD drives and Ubuntu
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> Teth: ask away
[12:54] <alex_under> echo "suspend" > level
[12:54] <alex_under> bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
[12:55] <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
[12:56] <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
[12:57] <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.
[12:58] <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)
[12:59] <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
[13:00] <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] <alex_under> L3top: I did it in Debian and it worked just fine
[13:00] <alex_under> L3top: It stopped the device as it should
[13:01] <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] <Sling> spaceman: so its dns-nameservers in /etc/network/interfaces, can I add search and domain there too?
[13:02] <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/
[13:03] <L3top> alex_under: "(In kernels up to 2.6.32, you could also specify "suspend", meaning that the device should remain suspended and autoresume was not allowed.  This setting is no longer supported.)   http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/usb/power-management.txt
[13:03] <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
[13:05] <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?
[13:06] <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?
[13:07] <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.
[13:08] <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?
[13:09] <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-
[13:10] <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
 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
[13:12] <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
[13:13] <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] <shaneo> hi guys im using the nightlie builds of XBMC and used the XBMC Nigtly ppa from lanchpad to install. For some reason im not getting the updates even though the nigtlies say the last build was yesterday and the latest I have is the 17th. Any idea how to fix this so that my nightlies stay updated
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> shaneo: ppa's aren't supported here
[13:13] <shaneo> ActionParsnip, ok thanks
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> shaneo: I'd contact the ppa maintainer
[13:14] <shaneo> ok will do
[13:14] <spaceman> and yes it would probably require a restart
[13:14] <Onixs> .
[13:14] <Onixs> oops
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> shaneo: there is xbmc in the repos you know
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> !info xbmc | shaneo
[13:16] <shaneo> ActionParsnip, Yes i know thank you but i use TraktUtilities that depends on nigtlie builds
[13:16] <Kingsy> total waste of time, I just rebooted.
[13:16] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: that's useful to konw, I didn't know it was int he repo now
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: yeah suprised me a while back too :)
[13:16] <Kingsy> but wtf.. nothing worked there.. I couldnt alt tab, I couldnt do much.. what crashed?
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: did you try Unity2D
[13:16] <Kingsy> is it possible to find out?
[13:16] <ikonia> Kingsy: tone it down please.
[13:16] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: not yet.. heh but I couldnt log out in order to try it
[13:17] <Kingsy> or are you saying try it as a alternative ?
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run;  killall -u $USER    would do it
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: log out and try the other session
[13:17] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: I pressed Ctrl + Alt and every key on the keyboard.. they did nothing
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: CTRL+ALT+F1 would drop you to a terminal, or you could have even pressed CTRL+ALT+T to get a terminal
[13:18] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: it didnt
[13:18] <Kingsy> it did nothing.. heh honestly I tried it :P
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: sounds like more than just the mouse then
[13:19] <Abhijit> Kingsy, what are you trying to do?
[13:19] <Kingsy> yeah.. but nit was weird, I could type and such.. open new windows was ok too
[13:19] <Kingsy> Abhijit: just trying to figure out what went wrong a moment ago
[13:19] <Abhijit> :-/
[13:19] <ahhughes> I need to convert a m2ts video file to a mpeg2 (or similar), but avidemux is no good. Are there any cli options to de/compress this to video / audio or both.

[13:33] <Abhijit> Ashael, not sure about the remove and reinstall pacakge part but to force software center to close go to terminal and do killall software-center

[13:33] <Mandalord> Ashael: Ctrl+Alt+F1, type "top"

[13:34] <kosko> does useradd has interactive mode(asks for password and name etc.) ? am i understand right that on some distros this interactive mode is on by default , is so how this mode is called, and how do i switch on this mode on the system that doesnt have it by default?
[13:35] <IdleOne> !pl | nacii4

[13:36] <llutz> kosko: interactive useradd = adduser?
[13:37] <kosko> llutz: one of them is interactive?
[13:37] <llutz> kosko: adduser is
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> hmm, adduser is just a perl script
[13:38] <kosko> llutz: thanks
[13:38] <kosko> llutz: this is it
[13:38] <llutz> adduser is just a perl script t make useradd interactive .) ActionParsnip

[13:39] <ffv> I know that Chrome has its integrated flash player but i can't find and enable in the plugins page
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> ffv: its enabled by default, if you install flash plugin as normal then it will be used
[13:43] <ffv> ActionParsnip: no, I 've installed it from software centre but it didn't work
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> ffv: can you pastebin the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[13:44] <ffv> ActionParsnip: okay please wait
[13:45] <ffv> ActionParsnip: No LSB modules are available.

[13:46] <ActionParsnip> ffv: can you use a pastebin, as I asked. something like http://pastie.org
[13:46] <skunkworks> We just switched over to 12.04 running samba.  I am having an odd issue with some older software that uses 8.3 file format.  Instead of it doing something sane myfile~1.dwg - it does 17uz8q~h.dwg.  I have done some research on mangled names - but am coming up nil.  Thanks
[13:46] <ilyail3> how do I add ssl cert to trusted certs of wget?
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> skunkworks: i'd ask i #samba too
[13:47] <ffv> ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/4132360
[13:47] <skunkworks> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> ffv: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer
[13:48] <escapeplebville> i have just installed ubuntu 12.04, are there any system admin gui tools for viewing processor usage etc. like windows permon ?
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> ffv: then enable the partner repo and install the adobe-flashplugin package, you will get 64bit flash for your 64bit OS
[13:49] <JAZANTHEPUSS> having a problem reading a hfsplus dvd in 12.04 64bit
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> !hfs
[13:49] <warloch> anyone open to a question or two?
[13:50] <Abhijit> !ask | warloch
[13:50] <JAZANTHEPUSS> got it mounted, cannot cd into it  it says permission denied.. tried to chmod it 777 and then ls-l has all files looking like this http://pastebin.com/m0c0h5TL
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> JAZANTHEPUSS: set the ACL when you mount it
[13:51] <JAZANTHEPUSS> what does that mean?
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> JAZANTHEPUSS: who can access it and so forth
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> acl == access control list
[13:52] <ffv> ActionParsnip: I have finished your first step. but what do you mean "<ActionParsnip> ffv: then enable the partner repo and install the adobe-flashplugin package, you will get 64bit flash for your 64bit OS" can you paste the command?
[13:52] <JAZANTHEPUSS> well i did this to mount it mount -t hfsplus /dev/scd0 /media/mountpoint
[13:52] <JAZANTHEPUSS> sr0 not scd0
[13:52] <escapeplebville> are there guyi tools like perfmon and task manager equivalents in ubuntu, is if so where can i browse them to see what is available
[13:52] <JAZANTHEPUSS> system monitor
[13:52] <JAZANTHEPUSS> is included
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> ffv: you can use software centre or manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:53] <warloch> ok. I was going to switch to xp x64 to access more RAM on my puter. Will the x64 bit ubuntu allow my puter to access higher amounts of RAM also/ And, how much RAM will the linux os use to run? is it going to suck RAM like vista or windows 7?
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> JAZANTHEPUSS: add:  -o user,uid=1000,ro
[13:53] <ffv> ActionParsnip: which repository?
[13:53] <Abhijit> warloch, whats a puter?
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> ffv: the partner one..
[13:54] <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?
[13:55] <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] <ActionParsnip> ffv: use software centre and edit your sources, there will be a pretty GUI
[13:55] <JAZANTHEPUSS> and it mounted but with same problem
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> JAZANTHEPUSS: if you run:   mount   do you see the options applied ok?
[13:56] <JAZANTHEPUSS> http://pastebin.com/R8rnArnN
[13:56] <JAZANTHEPUSS> thats everything i did
[13:56] <Ashael> hey guys, thanks for the help
[13:56] <Planetic> can I access the usb port like serial port?
[13:56] <Ashael> killall worked
[13:56] <warloch> ok one more. is there any advantage to the x64 ubuntu over the x32?
[13:57] <warloch> for a regular user I mean..
[13:58] <Planetic> warloch: you can use more memory on x64 systems
[13:58] <Planetic> can I access the usb port like the rs232 port?
[13:58] <JAZANTHEPUSS> i use pyusb
[13:58] <JAZANTHEPUSS> sorry
[13:58] <JAZANTHEPUSS> pyserial
[13:59] <JAZANTHEPUSS> and then ftdi drivers
[13:59] <FloodBot1> JAZANTHEPUSS: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:59] <JAZANTHEPUSS> sorry
[13:59] <Jarrydx26> Can i connect my mobil phone to ubuntu and use as modem ? why is it so hard , Than in windows ?
[13:59] <warloch> right, thats the issue. I only have 2 dimm slots on my motherboard and want to put bigger dimms in, but my 32bit xp wont see all the ram if I do.So I am lookin for an alternative that will give me the most ram I can access
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> JAZANTHEPUSS: how about:  sudo ls -l /media/mountpoint/     please pastebin that
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> Jarrydx26: sure, what phone?
[14:00] <senotem> warloch: if you get used to xp then try win seven
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> Jarrydx26: and what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> warloch: larger RAM space, video and audio conversions benefit a lot
[14:01] <Jarrydx26> Action - i havent tried yet on ubuntu , i got a nokia C3 i wana connect to ubuntu pc
[14:01] <JAZANTHEPUSS> ActionParsnip: here is the pastebin and at bottom me trying again to cd into it
[14:01] <JAZANTHEPUSS> http://pastebin.com/tWBm1acp
[14:01] <SkippersBoss> Jarrydx26: hard ??
[14:01] <warloch> ok guys thanks alot. have a good day all
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> JAZANTHEPUSS: hmm, ok run:  cat /etc/passwd | grep 501     what is output?
[14:02] <JAZANTHEPUSS> ActionParsnip:nothing was the output
[14:02] <ffv> ActionParsnip: So... I need to type in a url(something like?) to add a repo, then which?
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> JAZANTHEPUSS: ok then the mounts are owned by an old username who has since been deleted
[14:03] <Jarrydx26> SkippersBoss : i mean it looks easier to do it on windows , ubuntu got more codes and stuff to enter
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> ffv: no, the repo is already in your OS, just not enabled
[14:03] <JAZANTHEPUSS> ActionParsnip:impossibe I only installed ubuntu today
[14:03] <SkippersBoss> Jarrydx26: to tether or to access
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> ffv: if you run:  lsb_release -sc     what is output?
[14:03] <senotem> JAZANTHEPUSS: maybe will help to unmount, then chmod 777 mountpoint, then mount again
[14:03] <JAZANTHEPUSS> will try now thanks
[14:04] <ffv> ActionParsnip: precise
[14:04] <Jarrydx26> To tether
[14:04] <ffv> ActionParsnip: I mean the output is precise
[14:04] <Devilz> hello everyone i wanted to ask that is it possible to configure a transparent proxy in squid with password authentication??...
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> ffv: run:  gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list       find this line: #deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner    and remove the hash character, as well as on the line below, save the new file, close gedit and run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> Devilz: should be, yes
[14:05] <JAZANTHEPUSS> senotem: did all that, nothings changed
[14:05] <JAZANTHEPUSS> all still this 501 dude
[14:06] <linux_is_my_hero> how do i make keyboard remaps permanent?
[14:06] <BassBug> I have a 64 bit machine and can't get my scanner to work using 12.04 - it does work using 11.10 . Has anyone solved this problem?
[14:06] <SkippersBoss> Jarrydx26: hmm: let me think. what about following the wizzard in the nm-applet
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> BassBug: what scanner?
[14:06] <geirha> linux_is_my_hero: Via xmodmap? Put them in ~/.Xmodmap
[14:06] <BassBug> Cannon lide 100
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> BassBug: why did you not add that to the initial question?
[14:06] <linux_is_my_hero> im new to this.  can you elaborate?
[14:06] <Roj> how i can download multi media codec for install ofline?
[14:07] <linux_is_my_hero> like put the codes i used into a file called .xmodmap using gedit?
[14:07] <Jarrydx26> SkippersBoss: thanks bro , i will try the dirty way , since i got programming experience ,im sure i wont break my lappi .lol
[14:08] <SkippersBoss> Jarrydx26: nm-applet :> edit connection =>mobile broadband and take it from there
[14:08] <Planetic> JAZANTHEPUSS: thank you
[14:08] <SkippersBoss> Jarrydx26: don't try te re invent the wheel
[14:08] <SkippersBoss> :-)
[14:08] <kodo_> has anyone installed the last version of java jdk? I need it for programming android apps on eclipse
[14:08] <JAZANTHEPUSS> Planetic: I am confused why am I being thanked? my problem isn't solved lol
[14:08] <senotem> Roj: download it with synaptic, then look in /var/cache/apt/archives
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> BassBug: why didn'y you addthe make and model in the initial question rather than being ambiguous and saying 'scanner'?
[14:09] <linux_is_my_hero> geirha: can you elaborate?  i'm kinda new to this
[14:09] <senotem> Roj: after that usual apt-get install *.deb
[14:09] <BassBug> Because it is possibly a 64 bit vs a 32 bit issue , as sane has a backend for my scanner for some time.
[14:09] <ffv> ActionParsnip: My file do not have any hash characters?
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> ffv: it will have, the default sources.list file is full of comments
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> ffv: or you can simply just add the line I gave
[14:09] <yandex3819> kodo_: Just a warning: I found the Android emulator very slow under Linux, and switched to dual-booting Windows to use it
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> BassBug: if you run: sudo apt-get install libsane sane-utils    are they both up to date?
[14:11] <kodo_> yandex3819 thanks a lot for your advice
[14:11] <Roj> i access internet with windos7 and need to download all package
[14:11] <JAZANTHEPUSS> ActionParsnip: looks like someone else is having this problem too http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=971390
[14:11] <kodo_> gonna follow your advice
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> BassBug: run:  gksudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules    and add this text: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054300/     reboot to test
[14:11] <yandex3819> kodo_: If you have an Android phone it's ok, because you can just test on that. The emulator is purely for testing against old versions of the Android OS
[14:11] <Lunar_LanderU> hello I got a lubuntu question that might be stupid: Where is the Software Center?

[14:32] <linux_is_my_hero> geirha: I'm not sure what just happened but after i rebooted to test it, the keyboard maps work before ubuntu is loaded (scroll lock controls the led backlighting), but it froze on loading ubuntu.  then i turn it off and back on, and when it gets to the "i didn't boot properly" menu for grub, it doesn't respond to keyboard inputs :-(
[14:32] <kodo_> java SE 7 Update 05
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> kodo_: sweet you are done, it will automagically update too when the PPA is updated
[14:32] <OerHeks> ffv why do you want it the hard way, as a beginner? just open software centre, edit ( on top panel) and select software sources, in the new menu you can add partner repo
[14:33] <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
[14:34] <JAZANTHEPUSS> just me still
[14:34] <OerHeks> JAZANTHEPUSS, type the new name manually, first login
[14:34] <kodo_> so i won't manage it anymore...
[14:34] <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] <kodo_> now i can install eclipse

[14:35] <ActionParsnip> kodo_: its in the universe repo
[14:35] <inashdeen> i mean, for a new language
[14:36] <kodo_> the last version?
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> kodo_: the version 3.7.2
[14:36] <JAZANTHEPUSS> OerHeks: that didn't work
[14:36] <JAZANTHEPUSS> no where to type name, just has my name and guest session.. i am on 12.04
[14:37] <drPoo> can somebody point me towards a RAID tutorial that makes use of "PARTED" and GPT partitions please?

[14:39] <linux_is_my_hero> geirha: what is lightdm?
[14:40] <ki4ro> drPoo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID
[14:40] <samuel> the screen goes blank.
[14:40] <geirha> linux_is_my_hero: the login screen
[14:40] <drPoo> ki4ro, Ive seen that article. But my OS is already installed and I would like to use parted
[14:41] <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] <ki4ro> drPoo: Sorry, that is all I know
[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
[14:42] <Mandalord> samuel: videos on web such as youtube?
[14:43] <samuel> yes
[14:44] <Mandalord> samuel: first, make sure you have flashplugin and enable plugins in youtube
[14:44] <Mandalord> srr in firefox
[14:45] <geirha> linux_is_my_hero: You might need to change something in the BIOS to make the keyboard work during boot.
[14:46] <linux_is_my_hero> wow.  this sucks.  i think ill just reinstall and not have a light-up keyboard.
[14:46] <samuel> Yes, I have flash plugin for Mozila.
[14:46] <samuel> *Mozilla
[14:47] <Mandalord> samuel: did you enable it? its name is Shockwave flash or so
[14:47] <morsnowski> |paste
[14:47] <morsnowski> !paste
[14:47] <samuel> yes shockwave flash 11.2 r202

[14:50] <drPoo> can anybody point me to a tutorial explaining how to use parted and mdadm for creating a >3TB raid0?
[14:50] <samuel> And what I have to do?
[14:51] <list> ciao

[14:56] <vicky_> hi everyone ... i just installed latest ubuntu base system and wanted to know how to install gnome 2.3 on it...can anyone help me
[14:57] <OerHeks> youngin, seems like a general problem, better ask in ##hardware, this is ubuntu support.
[14:57] <gr33n7007h> How can i change the little ubuntu icon near application menu to one of my own?

[15:05] <iceroot> !aynone |  come
[15:05] <come> and has installed my unity?
[15:06] <iceroot> come: what is the real question?
[15:06] <come> ah maybe this is more off topic,,
[15:06] <come> but i have a other question
[15:06] <ICWiener> Can someone help me install Debian on my computer? The ppl at #Debian on the Debian servers are assbags
[15:07] <physically_fit> i shot the sheriff
[15:07] <iceroot> ICWiener: #debian
[15:07] <ICWiener> I've been there
[15:07] <iceroot> ICWiener: this is not the support channel for debian
[15:07] <ICWiener> They accused me of trolling and refused to help me
[15:07] <come> how can i make the clook shows the weedday/date/hours/min/sec (12.04. gnome classic)
[15:08] <iceroot> ICWiener: this is not the support channel for debian
[15:08] <ICWiener> I just need to know how to get help
[15:08] <MonkeyDust> ICWiener  last time they were friendly, you sure you were not the problem?
[15:08] <ICWiener> I'm sure
[15:08] <ICWiener> I told them my problem and they said I was trolling and being a n00b
[15:08] <iceroot> ICWiener: please stop it
[15:09] <iceroot> ICWiener: we told you that we dont support debian here and that it is offtopic here, thank youz
[15:10] <ICWiener> I still need help, just point me in the right direction, will you? A gas station sells gas, but if I ask for directions there, they'll probably help me out.
[15:10] <oCean> ICWiener: last warning, stop asking about Debian
[15:10] <iceroot> ICWiener: #debian
[15:10] <Orpheon> ICWiener, the right direction really probably is #debian, or their forums
[15:10] <DJones> ICWiener: We do not support debian, please ask in the #debian channel, or maybe in the ##linux channel
[15:10] <Mandalord> iCWiener: nice answer:D http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual
[15:11] <Twinlator> How to backup the whole Ubuntu?
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> Twinlator: depends how much data you have
[15:12] <iceroot> !backup | Twinlator
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> Twinlator: oh, thought you said how long :(
[15:12] <Twinlator> about 16GB
[15:12] <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". Here's the log of the configure; http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054397/ and as for the log of make, I would upload it if I managed to open it (gedit crashes because it's 1.8 mB large)
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> Twinlator: the links ubottu gave are pretty decent :)
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> Twinlator: 16Gb will be a fast backup :)
[15:13] <Twinlator> ActionParsnip: Yes, I'm reading it.
[15:14] <L3top> Twinlator: I am very fond of clonezilla
[15:15] <Twinlator> L3top: I have learn about Clonezilla, but i think it is a little difficult.
[15:17] <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?
[15:18] <Twinlator> L3top: I have installed the whole Ubuntu in the /dev/sda6, i want to backup it.
[15:18] <L3top> WHAT do you want to back it up TO Twinlator?
[15:19] <MonkeyDust> Twinlator  where do you want to put and keep your backup?
[15:19] <Twinlator> back it to /dev/sda1 in the same hard drive.
[15:20] <come> usually i can click on the time in the panel, and can choose the settings, but since i'v used (gnome classic) it dosent work like this. the clock should show me the day of the week, date, hours,min. and seconds. how can i manage this?
[15:21] <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] <L3top> Twinlator: ^
[15:22] <Twinlator> L3top: ?
[15:23] <L3top> I meant for you to read the line above.
[15:23] <L3top> Twinlator: I am terrible about directing comments, so I added your name after I wrote the line.
[15:23] <Seven_Six_Two> I have moved my /var/lib/mysql to /home/myuser/devfolder where devfolder is private share with ubuntu one. I've updated apparmor profile, and symlinked from old location to new. Database starts fine, but ubuntu one won't share, due to folder permissions. Is there a "best" set of permissions that will allow ubuntu one to share, while still allowing mysql to start?
[15:24] <zeroasterisk> i have used ubuntu server for years (debian before) and am trying desktop now on a machine which ran fine with 11.10 desktop64.  I have just installed 12.04 desktop64 (twice) and though the GUI installer completes the install and the GUI loads on boot to display a login prompt…. as soon as I login the screen either goes black or gets a crazy pattern on it.  further more, when I do CTRL+ALT+F2 i'm getting "out of range" messages o
[15:25] <zeroasterisk> (I assume it's a video card driver issue or something, but I'm not sure where to start with that, since I can't get logged in nor drop out to a shell)
[15:25] <L3top> What is the GPU zeroasterisk? lspci -nn | grep 'VGA'
[15:25] <L3top> ahh...
[15:25] <L3top> zeroasterisk: can you ssh?
[15:26] <tim5733> hi. Can I set freenx to share the desktop rather than have a new session ?
[15:28] <zeroasterisk> L3top: i have tried to SSH and it's getting connection refused
[15:28] <zeroasterisk> I assumed sshd wasn't started on a default install, or a firewall setting or something
[15:28] <zeroasterisk> i have a photo of my screen i can share if you want entertainment… it's exciting [/sarcasm]
[15:29] <wylde> !nomodeset | zeroasterisk: maybe this will help you get logged in to install drivers
[15:29] <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?
[15:30] <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.
[15:31] <Orpheon> (using this package: http://www.crystalspace3d.org/downloads/release/crystalspace-src-1.4.1.tar.bz2 )
[15:33] <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?
[15:34] <JLuc> so i am now at it
[15:34] <JLuc> installing
[15:35] <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
[15:36] <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
[15:37] <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
[15:38] <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.
[15:39] <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
[15:40] <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
[15:41] <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
[15:42] <SkippersBoss> Jluc, we didn't mean to "shoot you down" sorry
[15:42] <JLuc> okok
[15:42] <SkippersBoss> :-)
[15:42] <JLuc> no problem SkippersBoss
[15:42] <raving> Hello everybody. I am using Fluxbox and I noticed gnome-power-applet has been changed to indicator-power. Does anybody have any idea how to get Gnome3's indicators to work with other WMs?
[15:42] <JLuc> you're all very helpfull
[15:42] <arey_> Hi, When I try to install libpulse-dev, I get these errors:http://pastebin.com/8HavF97q
[15:42] <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?
[15:42] <JLuc> but its a bit much at once for me
[15:43] <raving> Orpheon, I'll take a look really quick
[15:43] <wylde> zeroasterisk: hrmm..that's a new one on me. First time I've heard of the out-of-range at grub.
[15:43] <MonkeyDust> arey_  what ubuntu version?
[15:43] <arey_> MonkeyDust: 12.04
[15:44] <L3top> zeroasterisk: that is... very odd. very very odd. 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 ?
[15:45] <raving> Orpheon, my guess is because you have -Wall on and have warnings
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> arey_  it says 'broken packages.... type *sudo apt-get -f* to fix them (without the stars)
[15:45] <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?
[15:45] <morsnowski> zeroasterisk, L3top there is a cse documented for 11.04 server that sounds similar
[15:45] <morsnowski> http://askubuntu.com/questions/52910/signal-out-of-range-when-starting-grub-after-server-installation
[15:45] <theGrg> Can I move my existing /boot to another partition?
[15:45] <raving> Err, actually, Wall doesn't stop on errors
[15:46] <arey_> MonkeyDust: I tried that, it says; 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 41 not upgraded.
[15:46] <raving> theGrg, sure. Are you talking about on the same drive or on a different one?
[15:46] <theGrg> same drive
[15:47] <theGrg> What should I do, just mv it then edit fstab?
[15:47] <raving> theGrg, well there's probably one more step
[15:47] <Scrooge> be right back after some time, will continue with the querry then
[15:47] <wylde> zeroasterisk, L3top: http://askubuntu.com/questions/52910/signal-out-of-range-when-starting-grub-after-server-installation perhaps?
[15:47] <raving> theGrg, once you move everything, you need to reinstall grub so it knows where to look for /boot
[15:48] <sirriffzalot> I've now shrunk my /dev/sda1 (windows) partition, and now there are three partitions, the middle one being empty.. Is there a way to merge the empty one with the ubuntustudio one?:P
[15:48] <raving> theGrg, you can do this with the grub command
[15:48] <zeroasterisk> wylde, ubottu, L3top: i've also just downloaded the 12.04 desktop32 version… I'll try that one and see if my results differ… I'll then try the "during install" debugging too…  thanks for suggestions… and thanks for that link wylde, looking through it too
[15:48] <theGrg> raving I see, so I reinstall grub.
[15:49] <raving> theGrg, yeah, but not through apt; I suppose that description is a bit misleading
[15:49] <sirriffzalot> Anyone?
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> JLuc: just go slow and think, plan partitions, your actual home needs to go on Ext4 but you can store casual userdata like MP3s and such on NTFS without issue
[15:49] <theGrg> update-grub>
[15:49] <raving> theGrg, there's grub-install on 12.04
[15:49] <theGrg> Oh ok
[15:50] <wylde> zeroasterisk, L3top: there's this on too that may be helpful. Easier too. Pretty simplistic but you never know. heh.

[15:50] <quixotedon> !gparte | sirriffzalot

[15:52] <Kartagis> hello
[15:52] <raving> Hello Kartagis
[15:52] <Kartagis> I'm downloading the ubuntu dropbox package, but it's stuck at 99%. what to do?
[15:53] <Riddy> @Katagis, I suggest just waiting
[15:54] <Kartagis> Riddy: I've been doing that for the last 5 minutes or so
[15:58] <jimi_> I do not have an /etc/ldap/slapd.conf file, is it OK to create it?
[15:59] <sirriffzalot> My windows partition is displayed on the furthest to the left of gparted... I can resize that over the now unallocated space, but not the ubuntu partition
[15:59] <wylde> anyone know if it's possible to run multiple instances of yakuake. eg one on each of my 3 monitors?
[15:59] <sirriffzalot> Perhaps I should do this from a live cd
[15:59] <sirriffzalot> Fingers crossed:)
[16:00] <Onkeltem> Would you recommend a ebook-reading application which supports integration with dictionaries so that a word translation can be done via click?
[16:01] <sk8|> Onkeltem, i like the idea of that
[16:02] <Onkeltem> sk8|: that is how it works on my android phone with fbreader + colordict
[16:02] <sk8|> what android device?
[16:03] <sk8|> i may have to look in to that, having the ability to go english/german/spainish in one session would be spectacular
[16:03] <Onkeltem> sk8|: it doesn't important, any one. I own Motorola Defy, which I hate from my heart
[16:04] <lapion> anyone here have any experience using grub-efi on older intel macs ?
[16:04] <sk8|> Onkeltem, do you have an android tablet that you could use your current combination of apps to achieve your goal?
[16:04] <gmi_> I'm trying to update dnsmasq-base/utils with a fix that was pushed to the precise-proposed repo but I cannot seem to find it; I'm pretty new to Ubuntu, so I followed the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed but with no luck
[16:05] <Onkeltem> sk8|: unfort. not yet.
[16:07] <sk8|> gmi_, did you do it manually or via the gui?
[16:08] <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"
[16:09] <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
[16:10] <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?
[16:11] <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
[16:12] <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
[16:13] <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
[16:14] <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] <MonkeyDust> JLuc  partitioning is the hardest part, you'll get used to it, like we all did
[16:14] <zeroasterisk> $ lspci -nn | grep 'VGA'
[16:14] <zeroasterisk> 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] [10de:03d0] (rev a2)
[16:15] <samster34> lapion: so, wouldn't that be even slower? I have several disks to wipe, and waiting days to wipe just the smallest one seems kinda lengthy
[16:15] <Scrooge> thanks lapion, sk8l
[16:16] <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..
[16:17] <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
[16:18] <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
[16:19] <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 ? :)
[16:20] <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] <Scrooge> yes, so the max no of primary partitions is 4, not the max no of OS right?
[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?
[16:21] <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 ? :)
[16:22] <Kartagis> is it this ActionParsnip?
[16:22] <Scrooge> can you please be verbose, sk8l? I mean what do you mean by shared resources, swap?
[16:23] <wylde> !patience |Shano56: and yes
[16:23] <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
[16:24] <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
[16:25] <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!
[16:26] <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
[16:27] <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
[16:28] <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
[16:29] <colin_> hi
[16:30] <samster34> mbeierl: will wiping with 00 and FF a few times suffice?
[16:31] <Scrooge> how do you specify the no of partitions on boot, lapion?
[16:31] <Scrooge> if that is what you said
[16:31] <colin_> i dont get how to edit PLACES menu
[16:32] <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] <L3top> colin_: what are you trying to do, in what desktop?
[16:33] <Scrooge> lapion, is 16 the max no of partitions?
[16:33] <samster34> mbeierl: with dd I can at least monitor progress,
[16:33] <zeroasterisk> ActionParsnip, L3top: thanks… I tried [apt-get install nvidia-current] and it said it was already installed and current…  here's my /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054522/ Here is some similar info related to my video card http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.dri.devel/53980
[16:33] <pandu> heey
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: you will need a plugin for compiz to use to handle the alt-tab as it is the responsibility of the WM to handle that
[16:33] <colin_> ubuntu12,  with gnome-session-fallback enabled
[16:33] <lapion> Scrooge, sda1-sda16 but it's only a kernel limmitation afaik
[16:33] <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] <lapion> samster34, /dev/null works a LOT faster
[16:33] <Heridan> Hi. I have a little problem with ubuntu 12.04 and gnome-session-fallback (on an Asus Notebook): In the top right corner I cant see my battery power status where it should be...
[16:33] <colin_> i have applications and places
[16:34] <colin_> cant edit places
[16:34] <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
[16:35] <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 :)
[16:36] <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] <samster34> lapion: lapion: it has 1 reallocated sector
[16:36] <colin_> its beeing annoying again, i need to make a folder in usr/lib, but got no permissions
[16:37] <lapion> samster34, well I gather that those 4k could not statistacally contain such important data that you would like to destroy the whole hdd
[16:37] <colin_> i can do it in mint, but not ubunut
[16:37] <SunTsu> lapion: there are theoretical measures because the heads are not 100% precise, but it's good enough and nobory will want to recover data by hand with a microscope
[16:37] <SunTsu> nobody even
[16:38] <MonkeyDust> colin_  why make a folder outside /home ?
[16:38] <lapion> SunTsu, those are hollywood myths
[16:38] <colin_> java installation
[16:38] <colin_> i need to put jvm in
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> colin_: mint isn't supported here
[16:39] <Papa> noo
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> colin_: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
[16:39] <colin_> i know, im using ubuntu
[16:40] <Papa> #linuxmint
[16:40] <SunTsu> lapion: even if they are not, it's beyond the grasp of joe Blow who will buy a harddisk
[16:40] <samster34> right
[16:40] <jacer> Anyone have any experiencing getting ZFS installed via fuse or within userspace?
[16:40] <colin_> is that the sdk?
[16:40] <samster34> from /dev/zero is stabilizing at 96MB/s
[16:41] <colin_> ill try it
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> colin_: its the jdk
[16:43] <colin_> so it shud come with javafx
[16:43] <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?
[16:43] <manski> hi. is it possible that the Ubuntu 12.04 server image (for i386) is somehow broken?
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> colin_: no idea, I use it to install the web browser plugin. Have a try
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> manski: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[16:43] <manski> actionparsnip: yes, it checks out.
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> manski: what issue are you having?
[16:44] <manski> what's strange is that when I choose "Check for error" in the boot menu in a virtual machine, it work's fine.
[16:44] <tking> Hello, guys i have WINE installed, but am wondering no EXE file
[16:45] <manski> when I do the same on the computer where I want to install ubuntu, it says that the GCC package is corrupt
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> tking: exe file for what?
[16:45] <mbeierl> tking, wine is not an .exe, it allows certain MS Windows programs to run under an emulator
[16:45] <mhalligan> what's the magic command to reinstall a package including it's configuration files and scripts? I thought it was apt-get install --reinstall but it's not clear that does much
[16:45] <manski> I tried it with two different usb sticks and burned a cd. it's always the same problem.
[16:45] <mhalligan> it certainly doesn't modify the config files and it poops all over itself if I delete them
[16:45] <jacer> Wine isn't an emulator.
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> mbeierl: although it's not an emulator :)
[16:45]  * mbeierl knew that
[16:46] <Orpheon> mhalligan, not as good, but you can try apt-get purge and then apt-get install
[16:46] <mbeierl> I was waiting for the smackdown as soon as I hit enter :)
[16:46] <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?
[16:47] <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
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> or kompozer
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> etc
[16:48] <manski> ActionParsnip: when I tried to install Ubuntu, I get "The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 139).
[16:48] <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?
[16:48] <_riz_> anyone got a suggestion for a channel I can go to with questions about preseeding?
[16:48] <colin_> i cant even edit the menu
[16:48] <arey_> Everytime I install libstl-dev, I get this error: libsdl1.2-dev : Depends: libpulse-dev but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> manski: could use the minimal ISO and install from the web :)
[16:48] <Heridan> Hi. I have a little problem with ubuntu 12.04 and gnome-session-fallback (on an Asus Notebook): In the top right corner I cant see my battery power status where it should be... 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] <mbeierl> tking, you might also want to try over at #winehq once you've checked out the appdb
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> colin_: what menu?
[16:48] <oldschool> hi whats a good Video thumbnail generator to use in ubuntu
[16:48] <manski> actionparsnip: where do I get this?
[16:48] <colin_> places
[16:48] <marco> there's a very good html editor that is not very popular called BlueGriffon
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> !minimal | manski
[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
[16:50] <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
 seen it appdb but my dreamweaver is there
[16:51] <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] <arey_> Everytime I install libstl-dev, I get this error: libsdl1.2-dev : Depends: libpulse-dev but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I have tried apt-get clean, dpkg --configure -a and apt-get instal -f. But no luck. Can anybody provide me with a default sources.list
[16:51] <Shano56> it gives the option try ubuntu and install ubuntu...im clicking install ubuntu
[16:51] <tking> mbeierl my version of DW is on the site but I still get errors installing it
[16:52] <BluesKaj_> arey_, run sudo dpkg --configure -a , it might help
[16:52] <glitsj16> oldschool: ffmpegthumbnailer comes to mind ... have you already tried something?
[16:52] <bjrohan> I have uninstalled connman, and reinstalled network manager, which appears to work fine in enlightenmnet, but NOT in unity. In unity it says I am connected both via ethernet and wireless, yet I can not get out onto the internet via browser, Konversation, etc. any help?
[16:52] <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 :)
[16:53] <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
[16:54] <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 ? :)
[16:55] <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?
[16:56] <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
[16:57] <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
[16:58] <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
[16:59] <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 ?
[17:00] <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
[17:01] <Natherul> for example, its happened right now -.-
[17:01] <Scrooge> need not connect it now, Shano56
[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?
[17:02] <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
[17:03] <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?
[17:04] <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] <Orpheon> !ubot
[17:04] <Shano56> i got everything i needed off the disk :p
[17:04] <Orpheon> !ubottu
[17:05] <colin_> i cant even close windows, cuz top bit gets hidden below panel
[17:05] <colin_> very annoying
[17:05] <glitsj16> oldschool: where did you get thumbnail package? can't find it in ubuntu 12.04 .. also wondering if you're looking for a standalone thumbnailer or to get it with nautilus or any other file manager you use
[17:05] <BluesKaj_> arey_, systemlog
[17:05] <Scrooge> Natherul, couldn't search your problem on the net, did you get any clue?
[17:05] <nathali> i have some problems with installing wi-fi card...
[17:06] <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 -.-
[17:07] <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
[17:08] <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?
[17:09] <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
[17:10] <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
[17:11] <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.
[17:12] <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?
[17:13] <Natherul> Scrooge: it seems like ubutu has placed some kind of lock on whats the active window or something
[17:13] <guntbert> !enter | Scrooge
[17:14] <Scrooge> can you just to switch workspace and see if these mouse-clicks work, Natherul ?
[17:14] <Isarra> Should booting ubuntu from a live cd take much longer than booting xubuntu from a live cd?
[17:15] <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
[17:16] <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] <DCheck2> hello, i have been having some problems getting a computer to boot from cd, i have just downloaded the plop manager since upon boot i get the message the bootmgr is missing, are there any other tools i could possibly need and could all the isos be loaded to one disc?
[17:16] <Natherul> Scrooge: it worked... but I could not click anywhere
[17:16] <melkor> I'm using gnome-shell, and I can no longer see files on the desktop or right click to get a context menu.
[17:16] <Crarda> Hello, I'm a new Ubuntu user. Could someone help me install my HP Printer?
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> melkor: press ALT+F2 and run:  nautilus -1
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> -q   sorry
[17:17] <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 :)
[17:18] <theadmin> FireAllianceNX: xorg.conf is usually the answer for system-wide X configuration.
[17:18] <FireAllianceNX> oh boy :/
[17:18] <DCheck2> Hide JOINS/PARTS/QUITS:
[17:18] <Natherul> Scrooge: nope, the mouse buttons seems to only register inside the chat window atm, nothing outside of it works
[17:18] <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] <ActionParsnip> DCheck2: which client?
[17:18] <Crarda> My printer is supported by hplib but it doesn't show up in the driver list. http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/deskjet_aio/deskjet_3070_b611_series.html
[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.
[17:19] <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] <ActionParsnip> melkor: yep, nautilus draws the desktop, it crashed so it restarted
[17:19] <DCheck2> ie browser
[17:19] <FireAllianceNX> @theadmin: I'm on a VMWare
[17:19] <tking> pls how do i open .doc file in Linux ?
[17:19] <FireAllianceNX> @theadmin: uhhh I'm using***
[17:19] <tking> it keeps crashing
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> DCheck2: ahh, thats better. I believe there is an options section in the top left..
[17:20] <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
[17:21] <Scrooge> Natherul, try playing with the "Mouse and Touchpad" option in "System Settings", that's all I can say for the moment. Will let you know soon if get to know something different.
[17:21] <Shano56> Scrooge which irc client do you use :)
[17:21] <Scrooge> XChat
[17:21] <Shano56> hopefully not xchat?
[17:21] <Shano56> damn!
[17:21] <Papa-Smurf> Hi Guys
[17:21] <Scrooge> :P why?
[17:22] <oldschool> glitsj16 no i am useing the i386 deb lol were did you find the 64bit one
[17:22] <sh4rm4> how can i disable the network manager in 10.10 ?
[17:22] <Papa-Smurf> Where is the startup script for Lightdm?????
[17:22] <Shano56> I just didnt like it :p probably because i wasn't used to it
[17:22] <Shano56> i love mirc, but its for windows not linux :(
 hopefully not xchat?
[17:22] <Orpheon> what's wrong with xchat?
[17:23] <Orpheon> (using it)
[17:23] <Crarda> Any idea on how I can find the driver for my deskjet_3070_b611_series?.... it's covered under hplib but I don't know how to install it.
[17:23] <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
[17:24] <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] <oldschool> glitsj16 will check right now
[17:24] <Shano56> or maybe i will just have to get used to it :p
[17:24] <Mandalord> Shano56: how about pidgin?
[17:24] <ActionParsnip> Shano56: what is it you like in Mirc?
[17:24] <Scrooge> so which one do use for Ubuntu, Shano56 ?
[17:24] <ActionParsnip> Mandalord: gotta love pidgin :)
[17:24] <Shano56> i dont have ubuntu yet Scrooge! its installing now :p
[17:24] <FireAllianceNX> Well then I have no idea how to create one to manipulate the system default screen resolution. lol
[17:24] <Crarda> @theadmin I've installed it, but it still can't find a driver for my printer.
[17:24] <Scrooge> oh yes!
[17:25] <Shano56> Haven't tried pidgin, do you like it Mandalord
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> Shano56: what is in mirc that you use?
[17:25] <Shano56> Idk what exactly i like about mirc, maybe im just comfortable with it
[17:25] <Pici> !best
[17:25] <glitsj16> oldschool: http://netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net/project/thumbnailme/Linux/Debian/x64/Thumbnailme_2.1_amd64.deb in case you missed it (i have seriously customized my browser, so i might have another 'view' on that page as yourself)
[17:25] <Scrooge> hope there are no issues till now, Shano56, are there?
[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] <ActionParsnip> Shano56: I'd try some native irc clients, there are quite a few
[17:25] <Mandalord> Shano56: love pidgin so much, work well with yahoo, gtalk and irc:D
[17:25] <arey_> BluesKaj_: I am trying to install libsdl-dev
[17:26] <Orpheon> (like xchat)
[17:26] <FireAllianceNX> Nah, no command found
[17:26] <L3top> FireAllianceNX: you will need to stop x to do that
[17:26] <Shano56> Scrooge i dont think there are any problems...laptop just turned off, hopefully normal D:
[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. The following information may help to resolve the situation:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  libsdl1.2-dev : Depends: libpulse-dev but it 
[17:26] <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] <Scrooge> good luck, here you go!
[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] <arey_> BluesKaj_: so just tried installing libpulse-dev. But the error lop never ends
[17:26] <Shano56> ooh installation complete! rebooting now :_
[17:26] <Shano56> :)
[17:26] <arey_> :/
[17:27] <Shano56> ActionParsnip, i will try them all!
[17:27] <Rujaun> Hello all. I'm ditching my windows 7 becuase of lamp requirements. I have worked om Ubuntu a bit. Any tips?
[17:27] <Shano56> does xchat have the ability to join all favorites at once?
[17:27] <FireAllianceNX> I think I will just leave the login screen at that 5k x 4k resolution... lol I don't understand the system well enough. Thanks tho!
[17:27] <Shano56> hey Rujaun, just switching to ubuntu from windows 7 now  ;)
[17:27] <L3top> xserver-xorg-core would have to be installed FireAllianceNX... but the command will be found.
[17:28] <Rujaun> Shano56 Cool =)
[17:28] <Crarda> Blah I guess I'll have to return to windows to get this stuff printed.
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> Shano56: may as well, they are free :)
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> Shano56: irssi can join a list of channels at ogin
[17:29] <Shano56> can it connect to different servers at login as well?
[17:29] <theadmin> Shano56: Sure
[17:29] <Shano56> i got some channels on abjects and some on efnet as well
[17:29] <Scrooge> Hey does anybody know how do i change the labels in the top-menu in Ubuntu 11.10, like changing "Shut Down..." to "Turn Off" or something else?
[17:29] <bekor>  hi, anyone here using ubuntu 12.04 with xfce?
[17:29] <Shano56> Hmm seems like it froze on Asking all remaining process to terminate...
[17:30] <JLuc> ubuntu  install has set some special bit on the windows partition and i cannot defrag it anymore
[17:30] <BluesKaj_> arey_, I don't see  libsdl-dev listed in synaptic , unless it's a ppa you're trying to install from , but I do see libsdl-console-dev listed.
[17:30] <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)
[17:31] <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
[17:32] <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.
[17:33] <Rujaun> theadmin: I must say gnome 3 is a bit overdoen
[17:33] <Rujaun> done*
[17:33] <colin_> me rujuan
[17:33] <colin_> i use gnome2
[17:33] <theadmin> Well to be honest polling is offtopic here, this is a support channel
[17:33] <Rujaun> colin_ Ubuntu 12.04?
[17:33] <nelson777br> hello, what exactly ubuntu does when we select the option "securely remove drive" ? how can I do this from command line ?
[17:34] <colin_> yh
[17:34] <Scrooge> nelson777br, which version of Ubuntu do you use?
[17:34] <theadmin> nelson777br: sudo eject /dev/sd...
[17:35] <Scrooge> when does it asks "Securely"?
[17:35] <Shano56> hehe all booted into ubuntu!
[17:35] <Shano56> time to find a irc client :D
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> !irc
[17:35] <Scrooge> Congo, Shano56 !
[17:35] <nelson777br> Scrooge: 12.04
[17:36] <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] <nelson777br> I want to do it in a script
[17:37] <colin_> dam it
[17:37] <nelson777br> theadmin: will take a look
[17:37] <colin_> java -jar abc.jar wont work
[17:37] <Scrooge> i think "gvfs-mount -u /dev/<device name>" will work
[17:37] <colin_> it doesnt know what java to use
[17:37] <Monotoko> os[Linux 2.6.32-41-generic x86_64] distro[Ubuntu "lucid" 10.04] cpu[4 x AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor (AuthenticAMD) @ 800MHz] mem[Physical: 5.8GB, 64.8% free] disk[Total: 408.0GB, 84.2% free] video[1002:68f9] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB1: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic]
[17:37] <Monotoko> oops
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> colin_: sudo update-alternatives --config java       and you can set it
[17:38] <colin_> i thnk that command before messed it all up
[17:38] <zallx> can i wine sony dev suite studio for psvita ? it use simuklator and usb ?
[17:38] <colin_> says none
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> colin_: that command will give you the list of registered Java's and you can choose the one you want
[17:39] <Shano56> any graphics driver i need to install ?
[17:39] <colin_> its already installed, why install again
[17:39] <theadmin> zallx: Probably not, Wine isn't too great with external hardware.
[17:39] <colin_> doesnt make sense
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> Shano56: what video chip do you use?
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> colin_: you aren't installing anything
[17:39] <Shano56> ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
[17:40] <Shano56> this is the laptop http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/C650/C655D-S5041
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> Shano56: use the additional drivers app and it will install the driver for you
[17:40] <colin_> i did that command , says no alterantwives
[17:40] <zallx> colin_: u can install something with wine ?
[17:40] <colin_> wine is just another headache
[17:40] <zallx> no
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> colin_: then you can reinstall the openjava package and it should add itself
[17:40] <colin_> but maybe
[17:40] <zallx> its okey just wont let u adress hw
[17:40] <samster34> I can't boot ubuntu without specifying the "noapic" kernel boot option on any of my computers...does this mean anything? should I be worried? or are intel chipsets just that way...
[17:41] <colin_> ill try that
[17:41] <colin_> wine might be a good idea
[17:41] <Shano56> Hmm, ActionParsnip it says no proprietary drivers are in use on the system
[17:41] <colin_> can i use netbeans in wine?
[17:41] <theadmin> colin_: What's the point? There's a Linux version.
[17:42] <colin_> javafx isnt good enough yet
[17:43] <colin_> cant install open java
[17:43] <oldschool> glitsj16 its not working for me caues the i386 is install but not working am now i cant install the 64 bits one how would i remove the i386 one useing terminal
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> !java
[17:43] <colin_>  sudo apt-get install openjava
[17:43] <colin_> doesnt work
[17:43] <nelson777br> Scrooge, llutz, theadmin: thnx for your help
[17:44] <genii-around> oldschool: apt-get install packagenename:i386  ( or :amd64 )
[17:45] <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] <genii-around> ( with sudo in both cases of course )
[17:45] <oldschool> glitsj16 that to remove program or install program i need to remove
[17:45] <oldschool> ok
[17:45] <glitsj16> :)
[17:46] <Mr> hello people, can you help me to install widelands? build 17, im using [12.04]. i just dont get it, what to do.
[17:46] <Mr> http://wl.widelands.org/wiki/DownloadPage/#linux
[17:46] <glitsj16> oldschool: you double-clicked when installing the first time i guess, it's easier to see any installation problems from commandline with that second one
[17:47] <oldschool> ok
[17:48] <genii-around> Mr: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:widelands-dev/widelands-daily
[17:49] <oldschool> glitsj16 am getting this here
[17:49] <oldschool> •Emmanuel_Chanel• Unable to locate package Thumbnailme_2.1_i386.deb
[17:49] <oldschool> •Emmanuel_Chanel• Couldn't find any package by regex 'Thumbnailme_2.1_i386.deb'
[17:49] <Mr> and this is the official build 17?
[17:49] <Natherul> Scrooge: I am now in windows since my raid is about to start, but I found some additional information that might be of relevance, http://askubuntu.com/questions/112547/i-cant-switch-from-one-window-to-another    any way to get completly rid of compiz?
[17:49] <FireAllianceNX> what are we raiding today? ^^
[17:49] <genii-around> Mr: Seeing as the PPA is labelled "daily" this would be whatever the most latest is
[17:49] <ironhalik> Guys - can I use ddrescue on a directory?
[17:49] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Hello!
[17:49] <Emmanuel_Chanel> ???
[17:50] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Why am I called on this channel???
[17:50] <Mr> genii-around: ok nice i know how to install ppa, thx
[17:50] <glitsj16> oldschool: take it from the top ... first: sudo apt-get purge thumbnailme
[17:50] <Emmanuel_Chanel> oldschool: Why?
[17:50] <genii-around> Mr: After adding the PPA ny the command I gave, it will be available from Software Center etc
[17:50] <genii-around> Mr: You're welcome
[17:51] <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!
[17:52] <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
[17:53] <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
[17:54] <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] <Scrooge> the problem persists in both the themes, right?
[17:55] <genii-around> Mr: The filenames at that PPA https://launchpad.net/~widelands-dev/+archive/widelands-daily indicate version 17
[17:55] <Shano56> hmm 279 updates nice :p
[17:55] <Natherul> both the 12.04 normal theme and in gnome 3, yes
[17:55] <Scrooge> then try removing compiz as they said, anyway we don't have a better solution
[17:56] <Natherul> Scrooge: will try it after the raid tonight, and if everything screws up I can always just reinstall wubi :P no biggie :D thanks for the help anyway :D
[17:56] <Scrooge> oh sure Natherul !
[17:57] <glitsj16> oldschool: ok, as example .. 'sudo dpkg -i $HOME/Desktop/Thumbnailme_2.1_amd64.deb' will try to install it if you downloaded it to ~/Desktop .. the $HOME is a shortcut to your home/<username> ..
[17:57] <glitsj16> oldschool: do you know where you downloaded it?
[17:59] <amazing> hey is there a support channel just for gnome (classic)? cause gnome classic is so amazing-backfall that i have to go there. :P
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> amazing: its in the repos, so is supported here
[18:00] <amazing> ActionParsnip: Ok i understand, thanks for the information.

[18:01] <nickoe> logout
[18:01] <tyler_d> Aster: last | less
[18:01] <Aster> tyler_d, what?
[18:02] <tyler_d> Aster: get the tty, then do ps aux | grep for the tty
[18:02] <Aster> nickoe, no, that logs the current user out.
[18:02] <tyler_d> Aster: then kill -9 on the pid of the tty
[18:02] <Aster> How do I get the tty?
[18:02] <nickoe> Aster, yes, was that not desired?
[18:02] <tyler_d> Aster: by typing last | less in a console

[18:08] <rhizmoe> is it basically impossible to change NotifyOSD notification timeouts to anything less than 10sec?
[18:08] <rhizmoe> notify-send -t doesn't have any effect on precise

[18:10] <Papa> do u know how to oc it in windoze 7 :P
[18:11] <genii-around> Papa: That's not a question for this channel, try ##windows for that
[18:11] <samster34> rivatuner (does that still exist?) nvidia inspector
[18:11] <Papa> do u give me more info abt ocing?
[18:11] <blitzkrieg766>  /join ##freebsd
[18:11] <blitzkrieg766> XD
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> Papa: if youuse the coolbits option in xorg.conf it opens up more options in nvidia-settings and you can overclock
[18:12] <samster34> ActionParsnip: he wants win7 though
[18:12] <Papa> hey i don't have any cooling soln
[18:12] <rhizmoe> micr0be: select a different wm (the gear icon)
[18:12] <Papa> i feel my cpu and gpu needs to be oced
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> asherkin: win7 what?
[18:13] <Papa> this card is very old google is not giving me any good links
[18:13] <rhizmoe> google is a much better source of info for that than #ubuntu
[18:13] <samster34> Papa: I'm not sure how much overclocking headroom there is on a 7300...
[18:13] <oCean> Papa: this channel is specifically for ubuntu, not windows of hardware support
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> samster34: sorry,, win7 what?
[18:13] <samster34> ActionParsnip: he's asking how to oc it on windows :)
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> samster34: oic
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> samster34: thanks
[18:14] <Papa> my ubuntu has problem with internet so am talking in ubuntu using ekschat :D

[18:14] <Papa> kk
[18:14] <glitsj16> rhizmoe: i believe you need a patched notify-osd to get extra features .. have you seen http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/closable-movable-notifyosd.html yet?
[18:14] <Papa> cheers
[18:14] <oCean> Papa: it is called Windows. Please don't use silly mispellings
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> it's so old
[18:15] <JLuc> baobab is great
[18:15] <Papa> foss works good in windoze too :D
[18:16] <Shano_56> hehe windoze
[18:16] <oCean> Shano_56: enough
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> Shano_56: there are many, its pretty lame
[18:16] <IdleOne> Shano_56, repeating others stupidity will earn you the same result they got plus a little extra
[18:17] <Shano_56> there are many what ActionParsnip
[18:17] <rhizmoe> glitsj16: yeah, that page is a last (or first, really) resort after confirming :/
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> Shano_56: lame ways people write windows to sound cool
[18:17] <val_> hey
[18:17] <Shano_56> yeah i know. they all piss me off except i dont mind windoze too much
[18:18] <IdleOne> tried to warn him...back to support now please
[18:18] <val_> if i write localhost in my webbrowser the system translates the name into this ip address 127.0.0.1, what file should i edit to create more dns entries ?
[18:18] <micr0be> rhizmoe i tried to change it from "backbox session" to "Xfce session", but it dont work.. the only thing that works is "Recovery console"
[18:19] <Dave_L> Is this the wiki: wiki.ubuntu.com ?
[18:19] <IdleOne> it is
[18:19] <Dave_L> I couldn't find a link to it, so I had to search for it.
[18:19] <rhizmoe> micr0be: what did you change?
[18:20] <Dave_L> Does it have a "front page", with a list of contents?
[18:20] <samster34> does anyone have an idea how I could make ubnutu beep on the system speaker after a specified process has finished?
[18:20] <Jordan_U> samster34: Depends on the process. "insmod pcspkr && sleep 20 && beep".
[18:21] <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
[18:22] <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] <samster34> live cd doesnt seem to like my ethernet chipset
[18:22] <samster34> so no internet
[18:23] <rhizmoe> that's odd. soviet motherboard?
[18:23] <rhizmoe> i'd think all ethernet was at least tulip-compatible
[18:23] <samster34> nforce something
[18:23] <micr0be> rhizmoe i did not change something, yesteray all i did on my netbook was trying to launch some standart programm from my distro ( airodump, nmap, ...)
[18:24] <rhizmoe> micr0be: so it worked, and then it didn't? for how long (generally)?
[18:24] <samster34> how do I list the system specs?
[18:24] <samster34> settings -> system -> details doesnt list a whole lot
[18:25] <oldschool> glitsj16 did you install useing deb install software
[18:25] <rhizmoe> glitsj16: interestingly, that ppa actually registers the patched version as a plain upgrade. simple!
[18:25] <micr0be> rhizmoe it worked until yesterday, and i get this problem today, durint the night
[18:26] <val_> nobody can't help with this DNS thing ? what is the file to edit to associate an ip to a name ?
[18:26] <rohan2> can someone help me with running nm-applet on startup of enlightenment? I have systray enabled, and can run nm-applet from command line, at which time it appers in the systray. When I go into system settings, Apps, Startup Apps, I don't see how to add it there.
[18:26] <rhizmoe> val_: /etc/hosts
[18:26] <rhizmoe> most simply, i should say
[18:26] <glitsj16> oldschool: thumbnailme? yes i tried the .deb .. still having issues?
[18:27] <glitsj16> rhizmoe: indeed, i only deal with simple i'm afraid :p

[18:32] <barry2> hi do i install wine, i donno which one it is in software manager
[18:33] <xangua> barry2: sudo apt-get install wine
[18:34] <Zaehlas> How do I override the network manager?  I have an /etc/interfaces file but it seems to ignore it
[18:35] <Zaehlas> is there something else new in 12 04 I need to change to force manual settings for my ethernet connections?
[18:36] <genii-around> Zaehlas: Perhaps try setting managed=false in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[18:37] <Zaehlas> I'll give that a try
[18:37] <oldschool> glitsj16 got it install and everything working fine now thanks for your help
[18:38] <Zaehlas> under [ifupdown] it's already set to managed=false
[18:38] <deinol> Anyone here an expert on smb/cifs?
[18:38] <Zaehlas> do I need to specify the eth0 / eth1 specifically in that file?
[18:38] <Jordan_U> !anyone | deinol
[18:39] <bazhang> deinol, #samba
[18:39] <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
[18:40] <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?
[18:41] <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.
[18:42] <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
[18:43] <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
[18:44] <dnovosel> samster34: What are you trying to accomplish?  Just having the two machines talk to one another?
[18:45] <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
[18:46] <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
[18:47] <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?
[18:48] <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.
[18:49] <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..
[18:50] <dnovosel> rynkan: Are you planning on running this off a single machine?  Do you own the hardware for this and can physically access it?
[18:51] <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
[18:52] <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..
[18:53] <AlexzAK> Hi, what to do if maintainer of some package not response to the bugs too long?
[18:54] <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> for example readline6
[18:54] <TheLordOfTime> AlexzAK:  link to the bug?

[18:56] <samster34> and yes
[18:57] <kurtwp_> dnovosel: doesn't vyatta cost money to use
[18:57] <rynkan> dnovosel: I know about portforwarding, portforwarding creates a problem when two servers need the same port (port80)
[18:57] <samster34> "destination host unreachable" on ubuntu, and a timeout on windows
[18:57] <dnovosel> samster34: Sorry, I'm running two conversations now. Maybe check the routing table on both sides, and it's possible windows 7 is blocking pings.

[18:58] <AlexzAK> TheLordOfTime: OerHeks: How long is "too long", actually? And dose some methods exists to handle such sittuations?
[19:00] <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
[19:01] <kingram> I get this from Aptitude during install:
[19:01] <hogarflo>  Hi there, I can't see content of trash folder (just with nautilus Ctrl+H from /home, but I don't wanna do it everytime!!) Any idea?? Thanks! (Gnome 3.2.1)
[19:02] <kingram> E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the mysql-server-5.5 package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
[19:02] <kingram> E: Internal error: couldn't generate list of packages to download.
[19:02] <OerHeks> AlexzAK, cannot confirm your 'bug' " Default bash shell setup should allow history navigation with page up and page down keys. "arrow up/down works great
[19:02] <durodeprogramar_> Hi
[19:03] <dnovosel> samster34: Under windows 7 can you pull up CMD and do "route print"  You should see the network to ubuntu, and the interface used.  Can you confirm that lines up?
[19:03] <samster34> dnovosel: resolved the issue...I have been configuring the wrong LAN connection in windows. I don't know why I have 3 all of a sudden...
[19:04] <dnovosel> samster34: Okay, that's good.
[19:04] <KorvinSzanto> "VPN connection failed because the VPN service failed to start."
[19:04] <OerHeks> kingram, are you on 12.04? aptitude is depreciated, since Pangolin is multi-arch
[19:04] <AlexzAK> OerHeks: No, it is not. Try default bash setup from Gentoo linux. PageUp dose different thing from UpArrow. It preform search backward in history with string that you already typed
[19:04] <kingram> Yes. 12.04
[19:04] <kingram> i386
[19:04] <dnovosel> rynkan: Obviously a lot of it depends on exactly what you are trying to accomplish.
[19:05] <AlexzAK> OerHeks:  Try to uncomment lines in /etc/inputrc file
[19:05] <KorvinSzanto> What's the issue with my vpn connection
[19:05] <rynkan> dnovosel: thats inpressive i'll have to read up on it more. I see that thers vyatta.org thanks
[19:05] <dnovosel> rynkan: Look into ESXi as well.
[19:05] <OerHeks> AlexAv, ic auto-complete from history
[19:05] <dnovosel> (That's VMWare, you need to register for it though.)
[19:05] <rynkan> dnovosel:  was mostly looking to isolate different applications into their own server instances
[19:06] <val_> exit
[19:06] <samster34> okay, now the windows host sees the ubuntu host, but not the other way around
[19:06] <samster34> it did briefly, but the stopped
[19:07] <rynkan> dnovosel: also to e able to have a dev/test/prod/etc-instance of the same application
[19:07] <eprom_> Hello everyone
[19:07] <kingram> I chose manual package select. Should I start over?
[19:07] <AlexzAK> OerHeks: My Gentoo friend showed it to me. It is very comfortable to work in this setup. And then i found bug report about it dated as year 2007. All work that should be done is to uncomment to lines in config
[19:07] <rynkan> dnovosel: thanks for taking the time and explaining!
[19:07] <OerHeks> AlexzAK, i was looking at this 'error', maybe any help > http://askubuntu.com/questions/142994/bash-completion-doesnt-work-in-root-user
[19:07] <kingram> What's the equivalent of apt?
[19:07] <AlexzAK> OerHeks: It is work well in Gentoo Linux for years
[19:08] <guntbert> kingram: use apt-get
[19:08] <dnovosel> rynkan: Okay, well ESXi will allow that, since you can spawn as many system as you want.  It's quite probable you can come up with other methods of accomplishing the same thing, but bare-metal virtualization is a good way to go.
[19:08] <kingram> I start over?
[19:09] <samster34> ping on ubuntu has now stopped producing any output whatsoever :/
[19:09] <AlexzAK> OerHeks: I have no problem described here http://askubuntu.com/questions/142994/bash-completion-doesnt-work-in-root-user
[19:10] <KorvinSzanto> My VPN service is failing to start
[19:10] <KorvinSzanto> ubuntu 12.04
[19:10] <KorvinSzanto> how can I fix this
[19:10] <kingram> I'm in the middle of the initial install. Should I just start over?
[19:10] <dnovosel> rynkan: No problem.  If you have questions again in the future, I'm not on that often (although I'm trying to be more), but you can always hit me up on email.
[19:10] <barry2> how do i install stuff in wine?
[19:11] <dnovosel> samster34: So it was working, and now has stopped working?
[19:11] <guntbert> kingram: "in the middle of install"? did you loose network connection?
[19:12] <AlexzAK> Everybody: What to do if maintainer not fixing small and very easy bug for years?
[19:12] <kingram> No. It can't download Mysql, and it stopped everything at that point.
[19:12] <alchemist9> barry2: wine /path/to/executable/program.exe should work as far as I can remember..
[19:12] <guntbert> AlexzAK: fix it yourself?
[19:12] <barry2> ok
[19:12] <kingram> : I wasn't able to locate a file for the mysql-server-5.5 package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
[19:13] <kingram> E: Internal error: couldn't generate list of packages to download.
[19:13] <AlexzAK> guntbert: I attached patch. But I think it can be ignored
[19:14] <barry2> so how would i run a jar file in wine?
[19:14] <barry2> asuumign jar file is on desktop
[19:14] <guntbert> AlexzAK: ask about it in #ubuntu-bugs
[19:14] <moloch> does anyone have a sound fix?
[19:15] <AlexzAK> guntbert: right! thanks
[19:15] <guntbert> AlexzAK: no problem :)
[19:15] <theadmin> barry2: Why would you even... You need to install Java, I suggest you use winetricks for that... Next you do something along the lines of "wine start ~/Desktop/blah.jar" I guess.
[19:15] <alchemist9> barry2: jar files would be run with a java vm
[19:15] <barry2> i dont get it
[19:15] <barry2> it doesnt work in linux
[19:15] <theadmin> Err...
[19:16] <phunyguy> barry2: java is multi-platform
[19:16] <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] <theadmin> barry2: What is the error?
[19:16] <dnovosel> samster34: If you disable the firewall it stops working?
[19:16] <dnovosel> samster34: That's wild.
[19:17] <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
[19:18] <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] <phunyguy> samster34: trust me.
[19:19] <samster34> no :p
[19:19] <phunyguy> or not.
[19:19] <phunyguy> what do I know... just a tech in a microsoft shop.
[19:19] <samster34> why do I want the firewall to be running when it's doing nothing? :)
[19:19] <phunyguy> (Engineer level
[19:19] <Eagleman7> Hello, i'm trying to assign vlan 10 to my eth1 device
[19:19] <barry2> installing gij
[19:19] <Eagleman7> what should i do?
[19:19] <phunyguy> samster34: because thats how it works
[19:20] <samster34> I prefer it when it doesnt work, so to say
[19:20] <Eagleman7> This is my current configuration for vlan 10 on eth1 http://pastebin.com/Mp4VTP7M
[19:20] <phunyguy> samster34: like i said, a firewall service can be running all day, but if it is told to accept everything, and deny nothing, then whats the problem?
[19:21] <phunyguy> it still needs to be enabled in windows.
[19:21] <phunyguy> i will test my theory in a VM.
[19:21] <phunyguy> wait one.
[19:21] <guntbert> Eagleman7: vlan? thats something for switches - not for nodes as far as I know
[19:21] <Zignd> hi
[19:22] <samster34> phunyguy: it needs to be enabled to do certain things, like enable internet sharing. once it's on though, it's not required anymore
[19:22] <Eagleman7> guntbert its something i need for openwrt
[19:22] <phunyguy> samster34: PM me if you want
[19:22] <alchemist9> anyone care to explain why a powerpc cpu clocked at 400mhz can compile a kernel faster than a i386 clocked at 1.2ghz? T.T
[19:22] <dnovosel> guntbert: Depending on the exact setup, there are various reasons for why you might need a VLAN on an endnode.
[19:22] <barry2> might just go back to mint9, stuff seems to work there
[19:22] <kurtwp_> Eagleman7: Are you trying to have one interface on the system to be accessed from different subnets

[19:25] <Thimbletack> Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask if I upgraded from ubuntu 11 to 12, will I have to reinstall all my programs?
[19:25] <D[4]ni> could anyone explain to me why some packages have Conflicts: with itself?
[19:25] <Thimbletack> Like will it reformat or anything?
[19:26] <alchemist9> barry2: is it the same error you where getting from your previous  try?
[19:26] <D[4]ni> Thimbletack: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade
[19:26] <barry2> no
[19:26] <barry2> last time it wanted fx installed
[19:26] <D[4]ni> this way it will not reformat or something similar
[19:27] <barry2> i think il just install mint9
[19:27] <barry2> i do like the panel in ubuntu though
[19:28] <Thimbletack> Ok, yeah I had the upgrade window come up, It just didn't mention whether or not it would mess up my setup
[19:28] <Thimbletack> Glad to know It will keep my things!
[19:28] <guntbert> Eagleman7: obviously no help from me - just for my own learning: were you following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/vlan ?
[19:28] <Thimbletack> Thanks D[4]ni
[19:28] <newbie|2> I read the error message on Google, I have 12.04 LTS 64 bit, but don't understand what to do to fix the problem
[19:28] <thyagu> hi
[19:28] <alchemist9> barry2: so you need the fx package do you have the java runtime installed or the dev kit?
[19:29] <barry2> i installed the jdk for it
[19:29] <barry2> pasted it inot    /usr/lib/jvm
[19:29] <barry2> the dev kit

[19:34] <species_4981> ere's a minor confusion i would like some help with please - I have upgraded my OS and due to a mistake, I now have *two* partitions containing systems on my HDD. One is the active one, and the other is now not needed. How do I determine which is which? It isn't obvious but I suspect it should be ...how do I detect the explicit mount point via terminal?
[19:34] <zukirep> sort of like a small ibm laptop that doesnt have cd drive
[19:34] <The_Other_Guy> zuki: It really depends on the laptop. As B.A. said, boot from the live disk and see if everything works.
[19:34] <guntbert> zukirep: you can try from a "live USB stick" too
[19:34] <ki4ro> zukirep: My Toshiba Satellite works great...make sure to make a swap area and you'll be fine

[19:55] <ki4ro> steveccc_: My experience with computers (since 1970) would indicate, if you have a good power source, to leave it plugged in...powering up and down and up and down is what is not good for electronics generaly
[19:56] <ki4ro> *generally
[19:56] <tking> theadmin pls  do u know how i can open
[19:56] <theadmin> tking: "open"?
[19:56] <r3dLunchb0x_> is there a channel for ubuntu server?
[19:56] <tking> .doc file
[19:56] <frankenstein> hiiii
[19:56] <theadmin> tking: With any sane office suite. LibreOffice, which comes preinstlaled, can do it.
[19:56] <zykotick9> r3dLunchb0x_: #ubuntu-server
[19:56] <sid__> eading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package xserver-xorg-input-mtrack
[19:56] <tking> hmmm
[19:57] <frankenstein> O.o
[19:57] <r3dLunchb0x_> sweet zykotick9, ty
[19:57] <DJones> r3dLunchb0x_: #ubuntu-server
[19:57] <mattia> ciao
[19:57] <r3dLunchb0x_> ty DJones
[19:57] <tking> theadmin - you are right but am surprised bcos i received the .doc file from my university so it is clean and i have opened it on windows b4.
[19:57] <genii-around> !info xserver-xorg-input-mtrack
[19:57] <genii-around> Hm
[19:57] <theadmin> sid__: Again, which Ubuntu version are you now?
[19:57] <tking> couldn't check my timetable
[19:58] <mattia> ubuntu studio
[19:58] <theadmin> tking: Hm. Try "swriter path/to/your.doc" and see if that opens it -- broken file associations or something maybe
[19:58] <genii-around> sid__: So when you try to install g++ it tells you it can't find e xserver-xorg-input-mtrack ?
[19:59] <steveccc_> ki4ro: thanks
[20:01] <tking> theadmin tking@TKing-HP-PC:~/Downloads$ swritter "L5 BSCS GRP1_57.doc"
[20:01] <tking> command not found
[20:01] <theadmin> tking: There's only one "t" in "swriter"
[20:01] <tking> yes i tried it
[20:01] <tking> with 1
[20:01] <theadmin> Hm
[20:01] <theadmin> !find /usr/bin/swriter
[20:02] <theadmin> ...Where does LibreOffice even install to?
[20:02] <tking> theadmin find / -iname u52nnKr-xIE 2>/dev/null /usr/bin/swriter
[20:03] <theadmin> tking: Try "lowriter" instead
[20:03] <theadmin> Seems like some naming change in a recent version, not sure when exactly... Didn't track my upgrades too well
[20:03] <tking> ok
[20:04] <tking> theadmin  error poped up saying file bla bla bla
[20:04] <theadmin> tking: Err, "bla bla bla"?
[20:04] <tking> yes i cant copy the error cos its a dialog box
[20:05] <theadmin> !screenshot | tking
[20:06] <DJones> theadmin: lowriter should be in /usr/bin/lowriter
[20:06] <theadmin> DJones: Yeah, but apparently "swriter" is all gone now
[20:06]  * alchemist9 worries about theadmin over the serious bot usage...
[20:07] <theadmin> alchemist9: Well, typing out what can be accessed by a factoid easily is pointless :P
[20:07] <alchemist9> true..
[20:07] <DJones> tking: Which version of ubuntu are you using
[20:07] <tking> theadmin i know, cant find the dialogue box anymore bcos i switched to this Xchat client, and when i tried re-running the file
[20:07] <tking> nothing happen
[20:07] <tking> 12.04
[20:08] <tking> DJones 12.04
[20:08] <DJones> tking: Thats the same as me
[20:09] <DJones> tking: Can you run this command "which lowriter"
[20:10] <tking> DJones it shows usr/bin/lowriter
[20:12] <DJones> Odd
[20:12] <samster34> hmmm...I just completed a single pass of writing 0xFF to the entirety of my 750GB disk, inspecting it with hexdump it is full of gibberish though??
[20:13] <ole__> org
[20:13] <alchemist9> samster34: bad sectors?
[20:14] <samster34> alchemist9: unlikely, it has a single bad sector
[20:16] <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
[20:17] <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?
[20:18] <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] <upgrayeddd> theadmin: I've tried sudo chsh -s /bin/zsh, no dice
[20:18] <exetron> whois
[20:18] <theadmin> upgrayeddd: Well, that probably changed root's shell
[20:18] <zykotick9> upgrayeddd: no sudo - just "chsh"
[20:18] <upgrayeddd> zykotick9: right, then I'm prompted for a pass...
[20:18] <r3dLunchb0x_> upgrayeddd: for what user?
[20:18] <theadmin> upgrayeddd: Just use chsh, yes, I don't see why that's really a problem to enter your password
[20:19] <loculinux> ola
[20:19] <zykotick9> upgrayeddd: right - type it in
[20:19] <upgrayeddd> r3dLunchb0x_: ubuntu. I don't have  password
[20:19] <loculinux> espña
[20:19] <zykotick9> upgrayeddd: yes - you do!
[20:19] <loculinux> hay espña
[20:19] <zykotick9> !es | loculinux
[20:19] <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
[20:20] <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
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <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] <loculinux> españ
[20:22] <KorvinSzanto> how do I connect to smb?
[20:22] <jrib> !es | loculinux
[20:22] <theadmin> !es | loculinux
[20:22] <loculinux> hablo poco imgles
[20:22] <loculinux> yes
[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?
[20:23] <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] <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?
[20:24] <zykotick9> !noroot | upgrayeddd
[20:24] <jrib> upgrayeddd: what password do you enter when you sudo?
[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?
[20:25] <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'
[20:26] <samster34> so, does anyone have an idea how after hours of writing 0xff to the disk, it can be full of random gibberish?!
[20:27] <guntbert> llutz: while that helped in this case it may call troubles if the home directory is encrypted
[20:27] <llutz> guntbert: true
[20:28] <lxz6516> samster34: how excactly did you write to the disk?
[20:29] <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
[20:30] <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?
[20:31] <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?
[20:32] <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
[20:33] <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?
[20:34] <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
[20:35] <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
[20:36] <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?
[20:37] <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
[20:39] <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] <zykotick9> killer: can you pastebin "df -h"
[20:39] <samster34> I've done dd with /dev/zero
[20:39] <samster34> also works
[20:40] <samster34> hold on, I'm installing some more ram..
[20:42] <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?
[20:43] <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
[20:44] <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
[20:45] <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
[20:46] <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..
[20:47] <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?
[20:48] <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
[20:49] <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
[20:50] <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...
[20:51] <exetron> test
[20:51] <r3dLunchb0x_> samster34: look at this: http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_wipe_a_hard_drive_clean_in_Linux
[20:51] <exetron> again
[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
[20:52] <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
[20:53] <r3dLunchb0x_> samster34: its a 750GB disk....dd does byte-by-byte....are you planning on using this disk again?
[20:53] <skomorokh> r3dLunchb0x_: first thing i tried, alas, no dice
[20:53] <skomorokh> r3dLunchb0x_: also not seeing much informative in the xorg log
[20:54]  * alchemist9 wished a kernel compile didn't take 8 hours T.T
[20:54] <r3dLunchb0x_> skomorokh: you'll have to go into terminal and type "sudo apt-get -f install"
[20:54] <samster34> r3dLunchb0x_: yes
[20:54] <r3dLunchb0x_> samster34: ah, gotcha...
[20:54] <kyle__> alchemist9: What on earth are you using?  A 200mhz ARM processor?  It didn't take 8 hours back in the PII days!
[20:54] <skomorokh> r3dLunchb0x_: thanks, but i've done this to no effect
[20:55] <r3dLunchb0x_> skomorokh: did you also do "sudo apt-get update"
[20:55] <alchemist9> kyle__: it's only been 4, only took 4 hours on a 400mhz powerpc but i'm running a i386 1.2ghz...
[20:55] <s0m3nak3dguy> alchemist9: pastebin.com/kba87QtN
[20:55] <kyle__> alchemist9: O_o 1.2ghz 386?
[20:55] <r3dLunchb0x_> samster34: what about shred? you tried that?
[20:56] <alchemist9> kyle__: I'm a sucker for antiques?
[20:56] <kyle__> alchemist9: Oh, you mean 32bit.
[20:56] <skomorokh> r3dLunchb0x_: yeaup, that's very much how it found the packages that got installed. i just checked and i'm not using any xorg.conf either (thought maybe i'd need to regenerate that)
[20:56] <samster34> r3dLunchb0x_: nope. is there a way to monitor it's progress? I'd like to be able to tell how far along it is..
[20:57] <kyle__> alchemist9: Eh, I think my netbook is barely faster than that...1.4, 1.6 maybe...
[20:57] <alchemist9> s0m3nak3dguy:post the url again...
[20:57] <mrsuchyPL> Hi everone
[20:57] <s0m3nak3dguy> alchemist9: http://pastebin.com/kba87QtN
[20:57] <alchemist9> kyle__: I have no clue why it's taking longer on the 386 than it did on the powerpc..
[20:58] <samster34> urgh, what...now my live system won't boot anymore
[20:58] <kyle__> alchemist9: Yea...especially considering gcc never made terribly great code for PPC, so gcc built with gcc is slow on ppc.
[20:58] <r3dLunchb0x_> samster34: what about creating a new filesystem on it....
[20:58] <kyle__> c.

[20:59] <r3dLunchb0x_> skomorokh: and you're mouse pad still doesn't work? what laptop are you using?
[21:00] <samster34> nevermind
[21:00] <samster34> RAM wasnt all the way in
[21:00]  * kyle__ does recall building gcc 2.9 with 3.x, because 3.x was so damn slow, but produced faster code, and gcc 2.9 was fast. 
[21:01] <r3dLunchb0x_> samster34: whew, I thought maybe you ran a dd from that last site on /dev/sda.... glad that's not the case.
[21:01] <samster34> r3dLunchb0x_: nah, I even recreated the flash drive from the iso, so that couldnt have been it
[21:02] <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?
[21:03] <kyle__> alchemist9: because we all know what a big audience i386 is vs the fringe processors like xscale core-2 and opteron ;)
[21:03]  * kyle__ blinks
[21:03] <kyle__> wait...xscale is one of the antique arm variants isn't it... errr.  I mean ARM8
[21:03] <kyle__> s/8/9/g
[21:04] <samster34> r3dLunchb0x_: if I was, I couldn't talk about it :p
[21:05] <samster34> alright, this time after a reboot, the data I wrote to the disk for testing is still there....as you'd expect from sort of permanent storage >_>
[21:05] <r3dLunchb0x_> samster34: lol. well if you're not then I would think creating several partitions on it and filesystems would overwrite anything *important*
[21:05] <proby> hello , when i run synaptic or gdebi it always run as superuser without prompting to a password , anny suggetions how to make the password prompt back??
[21:06] <alchemist9> kyle__: like I said I'm a sucker for antiques...
[21:06] <samster34> r3dLunchb0x_: there's also the option of using the ata secure erase command, but I don#t think you can monitor the progress of that at all :/
[21:06] <proby>  hello , when i run synaptic or gdebi it always run as superuser without prompting to a password , anny suggetions how to make the password prompt back??
[21:06] <kyle__> alchemist9: I have a color-next pizza box in my office.
[21:06] <reisio> proby: hit CTRL+ALT+t, then type 'whoami', then ENTER
[21:06] <r3dLunchb0x_> kyle__: that is impressive.
[21:07] <tyler_d> proby: you have probably modified your sudoers file, verify the contents by doing visudo
[21:07] <proby> reisio am the user
[21:07] <kyle__> r3dLunchb0x_: When I get some of that mythical "downtime", I'm going to hook it up to the network, try it as a daily use terminal.
[21:07] <proby> tyler_d yes i had modified them
[21:07] <mkanyicy> proby, try to investigate whether the NOPASSWD option is set for you by running something like 'sudo visudo'
[21:07] <reisio> proby: what does it say
[21:07] <r3dLunchb0x_> kyle__: that would be awesome. ;-)
[21:07] <proby> debianuser
[21:08] <johnjacobjingerh> i'm trying to find a reliable speedtest to test my internet speed from my ubuntu server
[21:08] <johnjacobjingerh> anyone know anything that works from a command line interface?
[21:08] <munchor> I have installed emacs 24, but it comes in the name of emacs-snapshot. How can I symlink it with emacs? Thank you.
[21:08] <proby> tyler_d am having debianuser ALL=(ALL) ALL is that wrong??
[21:09] <tyler_d> proby: you will need to restore from a backup, or alternately I would suggest reading the manual... man visudo
[21:09] <proby> okey
[21:09] <tyler_d> proby: that does however look right
[21:09] <skomorokh> r3dLunchb0x_: Lenovo t520... using the trackpoint, trackpad off in bios. This always Just Worked.
[21:10] <skomorokh> r3dLunchb0x_: apologies for blip, was restarting X and took a sec to realise it wasn't spotty cell service and that somehow I needed to restart network-manager
[21:11] <lagger> Hello could someone answer me a quesiton about a non-ubuntu live cd
[21:12] <r3dLunchb0x_> skomorokh: its all good. I have encountered different issues with ubuntu update from 11.04 to 12.04, so just giving you what I figured out for those items
[21:12] <alchemist9> s0m3nak3dguy: try bringing both rtl interfaces down then bringing your problem device back up and connecting the device, I got to jet..
[21:12] <skomorokh> r3dLunchb0x_: yup yup... this was on 12.04, thses are just updates from the last week or so
[21:12] <s0m3nak3dguy> alchemist9: will try again, thx for the help and consideration
[21:12] <BluesKaj> lagger, ask in the the distro distro support chat
[21:13] <lagger> where is the distro distro support chat
[21:13] <lagger> I did, I asked in #kororaa, no one is there
[21:13]  * alchemist9 waves at the people time for work...
[21:13] <BluesKaj> err just distro
[21:13] <lagger> all I want to know is how to open a terminal
[21:14] <lagger> I SAID ALL IWANT TO DO IS KNOW HOW TO PEN  A TERMINAL
[21:14] <tyler_d> lagger: ctrl-alt-t
[21:15] <exetron> i am just starting irssi, nickcolor.pl does not seem to do anything
[21:15] <reisio> "Kororaa was born out of a desire to make Linux easier for new users" :p
[21:15] <reisio> exetron: #irssi
[21:16] <BluesKaj> #fedora , maybe lagger
[21:16] <genii-around> reisio: If tyhey wanted to ease the way, they should offer better online support, apparently
[21:16] <reisio> genii-around: or actually ease it :p
[21:18] <Giddeon> I just upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04.  When I log into the terminal, I now get to see some stats about the server.  Is there a command I can run to print those stats on demand?
[21:18] <tyler_d> Giddeon: stat
[21:18] <tyler_d> Giddeon: uptime, sar, top
[21:18] <n58oo> htop
[21:18] <tyler_d> Giddeon: uptime
[21:19] <tyler_d> Giddeon: :p there are lots and lots :)
[21:19] <reisio> might be clear what it is from /etc/issue or something
[21:19] <r3dLunchb0x_> Giddeon: htop, but you might have to install that via sudo apt-get install htop
[21:22] <Giddeon> Thanks guys.  I just tried them all and nothing seems to match the output that's being displayed at login.  htop doesn't appear to be installed yet
[21:22] <reisio> Giddeon: might be clear what it is from /etc/issue or something
[21:22] <Giddeon> would something like this be kicked off by bashrc?
[21:22] <zane78219> hi, i have a gateway ma7 with a broad com wireless card that isnt
[21:22] <zane78219> working
[21:22] <reisio> Giddeon: if it's after login, yeah maybe
[21:23] <reisio> zane78219: which card?
[21:24] <zane78219> reisio, bcm4311
[21:24] <reisio> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[21:26] <zane78219> reisio, no luck I tried that already
[21:26] <reisio> define no luck
[21:26] <zane78219> no change, iwconfig shows no wlan
[21:28] <barry2> how do i change directory to my usb stick in temrinal
[21:29] <Volison> HI
[21:29] <Volison> I installed Ubuntu on my laptop.
[21:29] <Volison> But now it won't boot
[21:29] <Volison> I get a black screen and a blinking cursor
[21:30] <machicola> anyone good at math? how does 100 - 25 * 3 % 4 = 97
[21:30] <barry2> yes
[21:30] <barry2> i think...
[21:30] <machicola> ahh screw it, i should move on anyways
[21:30] <Volison> I found on google that if I will hold shift button during hold that will get me to GRUB, but that doesn't work.
[21:30] <barry2> 25*3 = 75, 75%4 =3  so 100-3=97
[21:30] <barry2> machicola, see?
[21:31] <r3dLunchb0x_> machicola: you have to tell it what part to do first with ()'s, or it will do the math it's own way and some of those get parsed before others.
[21:31] <zane78219> :)
[21:31] <Pici> machicola: ##math
[21:31] <tyler_d> lol
[21:31] <barry2> no, im a mathematician
[21:31] <barry2> i can explain
[21:31] <barry2> if he would reply
[21:31] <Pici> its offtopic for *this* channel though
[21:31] <barry2> well i answered  him anywya
[21:31] <zane78219> ^^^ this
[21:32] <KorvinSzanto> My VPN service keeps failing to start
[21:32] <KorvinSzanto> how can I fix this
[21:32] <machicola> oh yeah! thanks barry.... messed up by looking at the remainder as a fraction of the dividing number
[21:33] <machicola> i was doing 75%4=.75
[21:33] <machicola> doh
[21:33] <barry2> use brackets if u want that
[21:33] <Lynnthear> Hi. can anyone point me in the right direction. I'm trying to use emacs and org-mode while not under X. And when I press Alt Right arrow I switch to the next TTY. Where can I find how to deal with this?
[21:33] <machicola> let me just go jump off a cliff now
[21:34] <barry2> carry on machicola
[21:35] <Volison> How does pressing shift key to get GRUB work?
[21:35] <Volison> I am pressing the shift key but I don't get GRUB.
[21:36] <genii-around> Volison: Is it the shift key on the left side of your keyboard?
[21:36] <machicola> barry2: that won't be possible once both legs have been shattered
[21:36] <forevertheuni> peeps is there anyway to change the temp the fan starts to spin much more? I need my laptop fan to start spinning to the max much earlier. cause well cpu is fresh but gpu gets hot because fan is not at max.
[21:36] <DJones> Volison: are you pressing the left shift key, from memory thats the only one that does it
[21:36] <machicola> will need the ambulance to 'carry me on'
[21:37] <OerHeks> Volison, how did you install, using Wubi ?
[21:37] <Volison> oh, ok. I'll try that with left shift key
[21:37] <Volison> OerHeks: No. Fresh install.
[21:38] <OerHeks> Oke, then left shift should work as genii-around + DJones say.
[21:38] <Volison> It doesn't work.
[21:39] <Volison> I keep on pressing it right from the time I press the power button.
[21:39] <Volison> but it still halts with black screen and blinking cursor.
[21:39] <zane78219> additional drivers tells me the driver is active but not in use
[21:40] <Volison> I guess I'll simply do a fresh install again.
[21:40] <Volison> I had done it today only.
[21:46] <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] <Etale> Is that reasonable? Is there a way to make one account with which I can get into many news servers?
[21:47] <melow01> If I want to encrypt a JPG file for FTP use, is GPG the best method on Ubuntu?

[22:23] <KorvinSzanto> neither
[22:23] <L3top> Jun 22 14:47:21.662 ipsec__plutorun: Starting Pluto subsystem...      <=-------- that is pluto... the only remnants of pluto are those two projects afaik
[22:23] <KorvinSzanto> then I'm not sure
[22:24] <KorvinSzanto> what are the implications of tht
[22:25] <L3top> Well... it is an automation platform... and if it was LCME then I wrote the current installer/snapshot creator and this would be my fault, and you should be in another room.
[22:26] <L3top> But if you are unaware of it, then you are not likely using it... it is sort of all encompassing.
[22:26] <KorvinSzanto> heh
[22:26] <KorvinSzanto> yeah I haven't actively installed either of those things
[22:26] <L3top> and I have fixed all of the ipsec stuff on the current install
[22:26] <L3top> lol
[22:27] <exetron> how can i repeat ones nick to refer to?
[22:27] <KorvinSzanto> L3top, what would you suggest I attempt to fix this?
[22:27] <KorvinSzanto> I have 0 experience before today with VPN
[22:27] <iHarp> Any luck with Opengl support for Intel GMA 950 on linux?
[22:28] <exetron> iHarp: old revision opengl
[22:28] <iHarp> Can I downgrade?
[22:29] <L3top> I am not really sure... I am more curious what is using pluto.
[22:29] <KorvinSzanto> heh
[22:29] <L3top> I will see what I can figure out... brb.
[22:30] <exetron> tHarp: glxinfo | grep gl  shows your current supported version
[22:31] <upgrayeddd> Hi, how can I add a  GTK theme in Ubuntu 12.04 with normal Unity?
[22:31] <upgrayeddd> I have a .tar.gz gtk theme file. Previously in GNOME, I could just drag it in the Appearance window
[22:31] <iHarp> exetron: http://pastebin.com/947NxsxF
[22:32] <iHarp> exetron: I'm using a macbook 1,1
[22:34] <upgrayeddd> I've tried extracting the theme and moving its folder to /usr/share/themes/ but it doesn't show up in the Appearance > Themes window in Settings
[22:34] <L3top> ok KorvinSzanto... http://linux.die.net/man/8/ipsec_pluto     nothing to do with us.
[22:34] <L3top> I just naturally assumed.
[22:35] <trism> upgrayeddd: the themes in Appearance are hardcoded in 12.04, extract the theme and then use myunity or gnome-tweak-tool to select the theme
[22:35] <KorvinSzanto> meeeeeh
[22:36] <|midnight|> does anyone can recommend a ubuntu based distro for a 1gb netbook? ubuntu 12.04 are slow.
[22:36] <upgrayeddd> thanks trism
[22:37] <KorvinSzanto> |midnight|, lubuntu
[22:37] <iceroot> |midnight|: lubuntu
[22:37] <KorvinSzanto> =]
[22:37] <iceroot> |midnight|: and please remove the | from your nick. its not nice to write that on qwertz
[22:37] <iHarp> |midnight|: Check out xubuntu. Do some reading on it
[22:38] <|midnight|> how about netrunner kde 4.8?
[22:38] <|midnight|> is this too heavy?
[22:38] <KorvinSzanto> I would say so
[22:38] <MonkeyDust> |midnight|  type /nick midnight, pls
[22:38] <iceroot> midnight_: kde is to heavy
[22:39] <iHarp> midnight_: xubuntu and lubuntu are both nice. (lighter)
[22:39] <iceroot> midnight_: lxde (lubuntu) is the best you can find for small hardware
[22:39] <midnight_> i dont want to use xfce or lxde
[22:39] <iceroot> midnight_: then use kde, gnome, unity
[22:40] <MonkeyDust> midnight_  there are light ubuntu based distros, but they are not supported here
[22:40] <midnight_> well thank you guys
[22:42] <iHarp> exetron: did you get my pastebin link ^^
[22:42] <UNG> hello, anyone knows, where can I locate the pbr file?
[22:43] <iceroot> UNG: what should a pbr file be?
[22:44] <UNG> well, i don't know if it is a file, but i need to acces the partition boot record, any ideas on how to do it?
[22:44] <iceroot> UNG: you want the partition table? or the master boot record?
[22:44] <iceroot> UNG: and why you want them?
[22:44] <UNG> partition table
[22:45] <L3top> I am sorry KorvinSzanto, I do not have any insight as to your problem, my fix was a permissions error which I created...
[22:45] <UNG> i want them, because gparted screw up one of my partitions
[22:45] <UNG> it resized it with an error
[22:45] <UNG> and i need to fix it
[22:45] <KorvinSzanto> that's alright L3top it seems to be something that hasn't been fixed yet
[22:45] <TheLordOfTime> UNG what errors are they throwing?
[22:46] <TheLordOfTime> s/are they/is gparted/
[22:46] <KorvinSzanto> maybe it's a feature that isn't used too often or something
[22:46] <KorvinSzanto> also I could be doing it wrong
[22:46] <UNG> it says, that the device size is diffeent, then the volume size
[22:46] <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] <iceroot> UNG: and of course you should have make a backup first of that layout
[22:46] <UNG> how can i do that?
[22:46] <iceroot> UNG: dd the first 512bytes from the hdd
[22:47] <iceroot> UNG: BEFORE you destroy it woith gparted
[22:47] <iHarp> Is it possible to upgrade a macbook's EFI from linux?
[22:47] <UNG> dd if=/dev/sda of=/some/where/myCurrentPbr.pbr bs=512 count=1 skip=63 i found this command, and i wondered what to tpy in the pbr directory
[22:47] <UNG> type*
[22:48] <psusi> iHarp, what do you mean?
[22:48] <UNG> or does it just copy the pbr into a file to a directory, that i just choose?
[22:49] <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.
[22:50] <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...
[22:51] <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
[22:52] <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] <UNG> L3top: no worries, gparted made sure, that i cant mount it now ;)
[22:53] <Jordan_U> iHarp: I meant, wouldn't trust "probably" :)
[22:53] <psusi> UNG, oh dear... are you sure?  and how do you know what needs edited in it?
[22:53] <iHarp> Jordan_U: Is it possible to upgrade it with virtualbox? I understand that it uses virtual hardware, soooo... lol
[22:53] <alchemist9> iharp: or mount the dmg and see if the program inside is a shell script...
[22:53] <UNG> psusi: i found this tutorial: http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=13937
[22:54] <Jordan_U> iHarp: Again, probably. So again, I wouldn't try it if I were you.
[22:54] <iHarp> well.. It's nothing a clean install wouldn't fix.. :p
[22:55] <iHarp> then again it coud probably brick it
[22:55] <iHarp> could*

[22:57] <psusi> UNG, did you use a 3 year old version of gparted?  if not it seems unlikely that this would have happened to you... but if you want to try this, I'd suggest dropping the skip argument and point the file argument to the partition instead of the whole disk

[23:00] <L3top> aguitel: do you have any ppas installed? (ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d)
[23:01] <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
[23:02] <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
[23:03] <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
[23:04] <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

[23:05] <micr0be> Sorry, but i'm sure there is someone who can help ...

[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.
[23:06] <alchemist9> micr0be:let me check something...
[23:06] <SkippersBoss> microbe
[23:06] <UNG> L3top: ok, thanks for you trying to help :)

[23:07] <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
[23:09] <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

[23:14] <pretender_> glitsj16  No will try now thanks
[23:15] <r3dLunchb0x_> question, trying to setup secondary nic attached to a switch I have no control over using private IP to connect to another server attached to the same switch with another private IP...not getting ping response.
[23:16] <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.
[23:17] <schnuffle> r3dLunchb0x_: okay so two server each with a nic on the same switch and what is the problem?
[23:17] <Jordan_U> UNG: Did GParted complete the resize without any error message?
[23:18] <r3dLunchb0x_> not getting a ping response, server1 IP 192.168.1.19, server2 IP 192.168.1.30...routes are setup according to the nic's usign those IP's
[23:18] <UNG> Jordan_U: it did with an error message, I have a whole log with details
[23:18] <r3dLunchb0x_> schnuffle:
[23:18] <r3dLunchb0x_> not getting a ping response, server1 IP 192.168.1.19, server2 IP 192.168.1.30...routes are setup according to the nic's usign those IP's

[23:21] <Ezim> is it true that ubuntu have plan to switch to rolling release instead of 6 month release cycle?

[23:23] <sphinx> Hello fellas.
[23:23] <schnuffle> r3dLunchb0x_: does one of the servers has more nics
[23:24] <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?
[23:25] <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
[23:26] <pretender_> thanks installed via ppa
[23:26] <Ezim> smw_: :) I am not using ubuntu. I wanted to ask if ubuntu/canonical such a plan to switch to rolling release or not.
[23:26]  * alchemist9 hides from ubottu
[23:27] <john38> Anybody know how to do a search 12.04 LTS directories??

[23:28] <alchemist9> john38: find
[23:28] <zykotick9> john38: could you be more specific?  "find /path/to/start/from -iname foo"
[23:29] <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 ?
[23:30] <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] <jimi_> I am configuring my system to verify logins against ldap... does this apply to ssh as well? or does this apply only to graphical logins?

[23:32] <Miguelito> question - is there any program for linux that is close to Roxio's DVD Creator?
[23:32] <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.
[23:33] <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?
[23:34] <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

[23:40] <ratcheer> john38: I thought you were looking for a file. Sorry.
[23:40] <alchemist9> john38: you downloaded the .deb packages correct?
[23:40] <r3dLunchb0x_> Kingfisher: that is the global tag, so for every "worl" it finds it will change it, then you'll wanna re-direct that to another file with this on the same command line" >> ./filename.txt
