Jagst3r15anyone know why a lot of the programs in the software center are out of date?00:00
MofroJagst3r15, most probably because they're out of date in the repos00:00
domino14what does . do?00:00
init[dot]dJagst3r15, whats the error?00:00
domino14this script tells me ot do . ./vars00:00
domino14what is . ?00:00
i7crwb: is it selected as fallback input?00:00
init[dot]ddomino14, it turns a girl into a woman :)00:00
Jagst3r15init[dot]d like skype, Geany, etc. are not current versions00:00
init[dot]dJagst3r15, those packages are usually help at other repos00:01
rwbno, I shut that off.  There is mic1 and mic2 however, I have a thinkpad with only one mic...00:01
init[dot]dbuild them from source for best results00:01
i7cdomino14: . is the current directory. ./xyz runs an executable00:01
IdleOneinit[dot]d: those sort of comments are not welcome in Ubuntu irc channels.00:01
Jagst3r15init[dot]d wat u mean?00:01
init[dot]ddomino14, can you paste the whole message into a pastebin?00:02
elspuddyis there a build of unbuntu for notebooks ? or dose the desktop one run o.k on it ?00:02
init[dot]dJagst3r15, look on google for those packages not in synaptic00:02
i7crwb: how do you notice it doesn't work? only because it doesn't show any sound in pavucontrol?00:02
domino14vars is not an exectuable00:02
init[dot]delspuddy, it really depends on the notebook00:03
domino14if i do . ./vars it says NOTE: If you run ./clean-all, I will be doing a rm -rf on /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys00:03
i7cdomino14: setting up openvpn huh ;)00:03
Jagst3r15why dont they regulate the packages more init[dot]d?00:03
init[dot]ddomino14, what are you trying to set up?00:03
domino14i7c: yep, and i have no idea what . is00:03
rwbthe vu control shows nothing, and when I do a "test call" in skype I get no audio.00:03
domino14openvpn00:03
SkippersBossrwb,the other mic would be the jack (external)00:03
init[dot]dJagst3r15, probably too busy with the next distro00:03
i7cdomino14: ./vars runs the vars script. ok it's not an executable but it is used to run stuff00:04
domino14what is the point of the . at first?00:04
init[dot]dand are you grabbing openvpn from the apt-get?00:04
elspuddyinit[dot]d, its a freedom notebook, 200800:04
SkippersBosswhat skype version are you using and which ubuntu version00:04
domino14init[dot]d: correct, i got openvpn from apt-get00:04
init[dot]delspuddy, depends on archiatype, hardware, bios etc...00:05
init[dot]dtry loading 10.10 on it00:05
rwbI'm trying lots of combinations... There should be a VU on each choice in the Pulse control, and I can't get it to move.  Actuall this is now happening on both my laptops (thinkpads)00:05
* SkippersBoss has had his share of PA problems in combination with skype00:05
init[dot]ddomino14, so after it added openvpn what then? Why are you trying to run a script?00:05
i7crwb: is it turned on in the alsamixer?00:05
elspuddyinit[dot]d, : so saying its an intell  atom , h2 bios dose not help ?00:06
domino14i'm following this: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server/1873 -- im not sure how to set up the openvpn server certificates and whtever00:06
i7cinit[dot]d: it is part of the setup. you need to create certificates. the script is used to do this00:06
* elspuddy got to grab 10/1000:06
init[dot]di7c, yah I know but need to find out where domino14  is at so can tell them what the next step is00:06
domino14i'm just editing the vars directory00:07
domino14err file00:07
init[dot]dthe /var?00:07
rwbAhh, I don't see an alsa mixer anywhere at all...00:07
i7cdomino14: . represents the current directory... i won't tell it again, tho :)00:08
rwbIs there a way to just kill pulse audio altogether and just use something like jack?00:08
i7crwb: :D open terminal and type alsamixer00:08
domino14so . ./vars doesn't make sense00:08
init[dot]ddomino14, your at the step $vim vars?00:08
i7cdomino14: why not? it's the path to the script that is supposed to be run00:08
rwbOK in command, alsa mic looks like it's off...00:09
i7crwb: turn it on ;)00:09
init[dot]deasy fix00:09
i7cdomino14: http://linux.about.com/od/linux101/l/blnewbie3_1_3.htm00:09

domino14sure00:10
evie_hammondtest00:10
sarsaeolanyone have any idea how i can make sure a usb3 port is recognized as usb3 and not usb2 or earlier?00:10
init[dot]ddomino14, are you in the directory /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/?00:10
sarsaeolcurrently recognized as usb200:10
init[dot]dsarsaeol, lsusb00:10
sarsaeolinit[dot]d: i have done that00:11
init[dot]doh00:11
sarsaeolinit[dot]d: it only lists usb2 or 1.100:11
domino14init[dot]d: yes. i just build-key client100:11
init[dot]dyeah sorry00:11
i7crwb: and?00:11

init[dot]ddomino14, ok now whats the next step?00:11
domino14building dh00:11
JenniferB2I am at the " select and install software " step on the installation .. but it failes at the end ... saying that step failed00:12
i7crwb: you just increased the volume or you also removed the mute? ;)00:12
JenniferB2I only had desktop environment checked and standard utilities00:12
init[dot]ddomino14, ok go for it00:12
rwbahh, ok m testing again...00:12

WeThePeoplehi00:12
i7crwb: you can recog. muted devices by the MM on the bottom00:12
Nicekiwihelp, theres a proccess that refuses to be killed!00:12
i7cgreg1979: your test was successful00:12
Nicekiwia program has hung and i cant kill it00:13
Jagst3r15init[dot]d how come things like FireFox are up to date though? Does mozilla maintain the repo for it?00:13
greg1979any ideas on why xchat isn't letting me join #django?  I hit join channel and nothing happens00:13
init[dot]dJagst3r15, each package has its own repos / devs00:13
i7cNicekiwi: try kill -9 <PID>00:13
KrywkHey people, I have a question.00:13
Nicekiwii7c: dosnt work, says the PID dosnt exist00:14
KrywkMore like a problem instead.00:14
rwbwhen I opened pulse and selected mic 1, the vu moved for a second, then froze....00:14
Nicekiwialthough...00:14
KrywkThis is my problem:00:14
Nicekiwii7c: nope, dosnt work00:14
i7cNicekiwi: find out about the pid with    ps -fA | grep -i "PROCESSNAME"00:14
KrywkYou see, I'm trying to run a .NET Framework 4 app with Mono 2.10. Thing is, it needs sqlite.00:14
KrywkI installed sqlite.00:14
KrywkNonetheless, the app does not work.00:15
KrywkIt starts, but then fails.00:15
init[dot]dJenniferB2, whats it doing now?00:15
i7cNicekiwi: second column should be PID00:15
init[dot]dKrywk, whats the error?00:15
Nicekiwii7c: yeah but it claims that ID dosnt exist00:15
KrywkSec00:15
Nicekiwithe ID is 18020, bit it dosnt work :(00:16
i7cNicekiwi: try killall <processname>00:16
KrywkLet me paste it on pastebin00:16
Krywkhttp://pastebin.com/McgNUyyD00:16
KrywkThere.00:16
Nicekiwii7c: the proccess dosnt have a name either00:16
i7cNicekiwi: o.O00:17
Nicekiwii7c: the username on it is 'root, -1'00:17
Nicekiwibrb00:17
i7crwb: yes that's a bug. don't worry. it usually moves while you are recording00:17
i7crwb: try your skype test again and watch volumecontrol while doing the test. it'll work. it always freezes when unused.00:17
rwbI'm still getting nothing on the skype test calls...00:18
Nicekiwibck00:18
rwbI can even hear the slight noise of the mic coming through the speakers...00:18
KrywkAny hint on what's wrong, init[dot]d?00:18
i7cNicekiwi: nothing unusual that a process runs as root. -1 seems to be a nice-value (process priority)00:18
init[dot]dKrywk, yeah its Diablo 300:19
init[dot]d:P00:19
KrywkYep00:19
Nicekiwii7c: ive tried killing it and force killing it. nothing..00:19
init[dot]ddid you configure sqlite to work with D3?00:19
KrywkUh, no?00:19
KrywkHow do I do that?00:19
i7cNicekiwi: why do you even wanna kill it? can you see the process in htop or top? don't kill random system processes ;)00:19
Nicekiwii7c: thwe windows is still there, CPU% is unkown,00:19
init[dot]dKrywk, sec00:20
Nicekiwii7c: its a game that crashed00:20
KrywkNicekiwi, what is your problem?00:20
i7cNicekiwi: oh i see. what desktop are you using?00:20
deepspeed_#bodhilinux00:20
deepspeed_..00:20
deepspeed_my bad00:20
KrywkNicekiwi, what's the game that crashed? I might be able to help.00:21
i7crwb: you can restart pulseaudio if you suspect it froze00:21
rwbOK on one of my laptops its working.......00:22
mattswehello! can anyone help me confirm a bug? on 12.04 when I install libpostgis-java (http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/all/libpostgis-java/filelist) the file `/usr/share/java/postgis_debug.jar` never gets installed00:22
SkippersBossrwb: or stop pulse from autospawning all together00:22
rwbtoo many settings.  I wish I could use only one audio engine...  can I uninstall pulse?00:22
init[dot]dKrywk, is sqlite running?00:23
KrywkWhere do I check that?00:23
init[dot]dsudo /etc/init.d/sqlite restart00:23
KrywkCommand not found "/etc/init.d/sqlite"00:24
Krywk._.00:24
i7crwb: that's not a good idea. btw skype only works with pulseaudio. and you wouldn't be able to play more than one sound a time00:24
init[dot]dlemme see what it is then00:24
NicekiwiKrywk: SpringRTS00:24
Krywk?00:24
KrywkSpringRTS...00:24
Nicekiwii7c: uhm.. ubuntu, in the KDE DM00:24
i7cKrywk: the name of the game ;)00:24
Jagst3r15init[dot]d i see google has their own linux chrome download....is that auto updated by google?00:24
NicekiwiKrywk: BA CHecken Defence00:25
KrywkYeah, I know, I was referring to init[dot]d00:25
NicekiwiChicken*00:25
SkippersBossi7c: rwb no if u disable pulse Skype still works00:25
i7cSkippersBoss: really? ok, i didn't know that.00:25
Krywkinit[dot]d, let you see what is?00:25
SkippersBossthat's how i solved my mic problem in 11.1000:26
init[dot]dKrywk, are you following some tutorial for setting up D3?00:26
KrywkNope00:26
SkippersBossin 12.04 PA seems to be working for me00:26
KrywkI tried it because I thought it might work00:26
init[dot]dsqlite usually will need apache2, php, stuff like that00:26
init[dot]dyou have to run the d3 as a server right?00:26
KrywkYes.00:26
KrywkI mean, D3Emu.00:26
rwbThis is crazy, I would like to use only one audio service like jack.  I can't keep track of alsa, pulse, and jack, and how the interact with each other...00:26
i7crwb: have you tried restarting pulseaudio on the pc that is still not working? first restart PA then skype00:26
i7crwb: read about it ;)00:27
init[dot]dso there is probably some sort of config file?00:27
KrywkD3Emu needs sqlite by default.00:27
KrywkBut let me see.00:27
Nicekiwii7c: guess i'll jus logout/in again.. :(00:28
KrywkI think it is D3Emu.exe.config?00:28
i7cNicekiwi: that could be the easiest solution00:29
init[dot]dKrywk, not in Ubuntu00:29
KrywkDinner time. We shall continue later.00:30
rwbSeems to be working now.  Thanks!!00:32
i7crwb: i'm glad it works :)00:33
harrrismrubinhow do i add java to ubuntu 12.04 using terminal00:33
daniearhi00:34
rwbWell, still not working on one of the laptops, and I can hear the audio going through the speakers but.... anyway, to many settings...00:34
daniearive noticed in my logs that alot of packets are leaving my computer with ip source addy of 3.3.3.300:34
daniearwhat is it?00:34
harrrismrubinhow do i add java00:35
harrrismrubindr_jesus,  how do i add java through terminal00:35
i7crwb: well yeh it is kind of confusing. but at the same time pretty powerful. afaik pulseaudio has an own channel somewhere here. i'm sure they know more.00:35
alankilaharrrismrubin: 'sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk'00:35
init[dot]dharrrismrubin, follow this link let me know if you get stuck https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java00:35
i7cdaniear: afaik that is an DNS server.00:36
rwbI agree.  I have one system that is using a delta1010 for recording and I only use jack.  That system seems great. but for a laptop, I want a simple way to say "use setup for skype" or "use setup for aucacity" and the only fiddling should be on strings...00:37
danieari dont have dns server running00:37
init[dot]ddaniear, are you running a cisco server?00:37
daniearno00:38
mattsweis there any way I can inspect an `apt-get install` step by step? I think I found a bug00:38
init[dot]ddaniear, ifconfig00:38
init[dot]ddoes it have anything about 3.x.x.x00:38
harrrismrubindoes anyone have a galaxy tab00:39
daniearno00:39
rwbThanks all! later...00:39
daniearmy log says spoofed pkt in=eth0 out =... src = 3.3.3.300:39
init[dot]dspoofed?00:40
danieargot thousands of them logged00:40
daniearthats what it says00:40
init[dot]dare you running a packet analyzer?00:40
init[dot]dlike etherape or wireshark00:40
daniearjust letting iptables log things not running analyzer00:40
=== Dilberto is now known as PossumViolater
init[dot]dwhats your netstat00:41
init[dot]d3.x.x.x or does it show IPs00:41
danieardoesnt show 3.xxxx00:42
init[dot]dsee anything from 255.x.x.x00:42
daniearno00:42
danieardo i have a virus why would i have spoofed packets leaving my computer00:43
init[dot]dnope00:43
init[dot]dwhats type router do you have?00:43
i7cmattswe: you can use -s to simulate and not really install it?! doesn't help i guess00:43
danieartp-link00:44
daniearthis is a server not my home computer00:44
spacedusthi00:44
mattswe@i7c would you mind installing the package?00:45
init[dot]ddaniear, usually an IP of 1.1.1.1 or 3.3.3.3 or 10.x.x.x is the IP assighned to a virtual machine by a cisco router, so sometimes a Linksys router that is designed with the cisco firmware assigns the IPs on 1.x.x.x3.x.x.x10.x.x.x etc00:45
spacedusthow well would an ati 5400 card work with an ubuntu installation ?00:45
mattswe@i7c and check if you have the same bug?00:45
i7cmattswe: depends on the size of the package and what this bug is ;)00:45
mattswe:)00:46
mattsweit's a tiny package and a tiny bug :)00:46
mattswehttp://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/all/libpostgis-java/filelist00:46
init[dot]ddaniear, it is usually showing many packets due to poor configurations00:46
mattsweis supposed to install `/usr/share/java/postgis.jar` ...but it doesn't00:46
i7cmattswe: i installed it. what now?00:47

mattswehuh. any idea why that might not be showing up for me?00:49
lwizardlin the "Indicator Applet" included with Ubuntu 10.04 lts. Is there a way to setup email account to just be a notifier for when you get a new msg. so you can open them in thunderbird ?00:50

i7cspacedust: well sometimes there are driver issues. but if you get the card to work properly you will be able to do that.00:51
spacedusti7c: will precise pangolin work out of the box ?00:51
Krywk...00:52
Krywkinit[dot]d?00:52
init[dot]dKrywk, ?00:52
i7cspacedust: normally it should yes. i just heard about single cases where it didn't.00:52
Krywkinit[dot]d, you said 'Not on ubuntu'. I don't understand.00:53
init[dot]dyou dont run .exe files on Ubuntu00:54
init[dot]dyou CAN with wine+other tweaking00:54
init[dot]dso a Unix configuration file is not going to be labeled .exe00:54
spacedusti7c: okay ill try it tomorrow and tell you about it00:54
Krywkinit[dot]d, if I try to run D3Emu.exe in wine, it says I need Net Framework;version=4.0;00:55
spacedusti7c: does the iso work on a flash drive ?00:55
init[dot]dyupp00:55
spacedusti7c: if i use dd to write the iso to the flash ?00:55
KrywkEven though I have it.00:55
init[dot]dsounds like more a D3 problem not really an Ubuntu one00:55
i7cspacedust: ok. if you have a weaker video card you should think about an different desktop environment than unity.00:55
i7cspacedust: are you on windows right now?00:55
init[dot]dD3 is throwing the error00:55
KrywkD3 is not throwing the error, D3Emu is.00:55
spacedusti7c: no00:56
KrywkI searched for the problem, they said I should rename D3Emu.exe.config to something else and try again.00:56
KrywkI tried.00:56
KrywkA waaaaaaaaaay bigger error.00:56
spacedusti7c: i was thinking 5400 with 512mb of ram is not a weak card :P00:56
spacedustit is ?00:56
NictraSaviosDoes splitting your layout over multiple partitions (/, /home, /boot, /var, /usr and /tmp) have any real advantage for a home user vs the standard (/ and /boot) config. (I don't use my /home for data, I use a separate ntfs partition)00:56
IronsightKrywk, #winehq00:56
IronFartgah, I need some help.00:57
KrywkIronsight, I'm here because I'm trying to get something net40 related to work with mono, so no.00:57
IronFartI tried installing dropbox00:57
i7cspacedust: well. depends on the year :D it's not high-end anymore. but should be ok.00:57
=== dark3n is now known as dark3n|off
IronFartand now it's locked up my synaptic package manager, when I run sudo dpkg --configure -a00:57
IronFartall that happens is it downloads dropbox to 99% and then hangs00:57
rhizmoeoh good, another X/compiz crash00:57
i7cspacedust: it's just that unity is a resource eater.00:58
Krywk^This00:58
bear_Can anyone asist me in updating from 11.10 to 12.04? I tried the update manager, but no luck. Also, when trying from CD, no update option is available.00:58
Aaronspacedust: you can use unetbootin to transfer ,iso to flash00:59
i7cspacedust: oh and yes you can install from flashdrive. you find plenty of guides on the internet00:59
IronFartI've found unetbootin stuffs upthe flash drive for future usage... so uh, be sure it's one you don't particularly care about00:59
Krywkinit[dot]d, so that's why I'm trying to run it with mono, since it throws a simpler error.00:59
IronsightUnetbootin00:59
bear_I don't think installing from flash will change anything.00:59
IronFartso um, my problem with installing dropbox, how do i cancel it so i can at least get synaptic working00:59
ejvthis doesn't answer your question, but for a major jump like that, I would personally just reinstall the OS, "fresh"01:00
IronsightNever had an issue with unetbootin... Ever01:00
IronFartoh no, me neither, it works fine.01:00
ratcheerbear_: Did you run update-manager -d ?01:00
IronFartIt just mucks around with the flash drive itself.01:00
init[dot]ddaniear, I dunno Im not a linux gamer gnurd01:01
init[dot]dmaybe see if someone has set up the d3emu server before01:01
NictraSaviosI hate that windows has YUMI. We don't even have any equivalent to that, it blow unetbootin out the water.01:01
bear_@ratcheer Yes, the option to update doesn't show up.01:01
KrywkHmm... I'll see what I can find.01:01
MonkeyDustNictraSavios  linux has MultiSystem01:02
MonkeyDustNictraSavios  http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/01:02
Krywkinit[dot]d, I tried running it on Windows 7 x64 with mono 2.10 and sqlite, and it works fine.01:02
KrywkSo I'm not sure why the error shows up here.01:03
ratcheerbear_: I'm really not sure, I have done clean installs the last few times.01:03
init[dot]dcool01:03
init[dot]dmaybe check in #wine01:03
KrywkLet's see.01:03
NictraSaviosMonkeyDust, ... You ... just made my life complete01:04
IronFarthey, I need some help cancelling this dropbox install, I can't access the synaptic package manager because it's holding everything up01:04
NictraSaviosMonkeyDust, Thank you!! I have ever heart of that.01:04
bear_Anyone else know why 12.04 update isn't showing up for me? :/01:05
MonkeyDustNictraSavios  i've been using it for over a year now01:05
alex369Hi guys01:06
IronFartwhat do you want alex369!01:06
NictraSaviosMonkeyDust, Heard* and, Wow, I've always hated to have to use a VM to use YUMI :P.01:06
alex369Do you know one channel for archlinux's support? I tried with archlinux and linux but nothing to do, i've problem on freenode for login. Can anyone help me?01:07
NictraSaviosMonkeyDust, I run a pure Linux system with a VM for iTunes, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.01:07
NictraSaviosalex #archlinux .... Since your an arch user, RTFM. You could have googled that aha01:07
KrywkNictraSavios, iTunes = There are equivalents, Photoshop = Playonlinux, ADOBE = Playonlinux01:07
NictraSaviosalex369, ^*01:07
sarsaeolalex369: google says #archlinux01:08
WallyHow does one uhh remove "individual packages" using synaptic packagemanger.. EG: I'm trying to remove gnome games but it wants to remove gnome as well01:08
i7cNictraSavios: which VM software do you use?01:08
NictraSaviosKrywk, iTunes, none as seamless for iPhone syncing. and CS6 dosen't work yet.01:08
alex369I tried with #archlinux but the login is necessary and i'm not able to login.01:08
NictraSaviosi7c, Virtualbox, Never had an issue with it aha.01:09
i7calex369: do you have an account? if not, get one ;)01:09
IronsightRegister a new nick then ;p01:09
alex369i7c: yes, but i can't connect, i don't know why.01:09
NictraSaviosalex369, Google "make account on freenode". Major skill as an arch user is googlefu and wikifu.01:09
alex369Ironsight: oh my god, another account?01:09
i7cNictraSavios: photoshop does not work in the vm?01:09

domino14where is my awesome vpn helper?01:10
domino14i think i've successfully connected to an openvpn server, on another machine, but ping 10.8.0.1 times out01:10
NictraSaviosi7c, With 12GB of ram in this laptop, I can easliy devote 6-8 to the vm and everything runs smooth a waterslide.01:11
NictraSaviosas a*01:11
Krywkas smooth as a*01:11
i7clol01:11
i7ci have only 6GB but i think should be enough since ubuntu doesnt use anything of it :D01:12
NictraSaviosYeah.... If you've noticed my typing sucks? Getting used to this wireless keyboard -_-.01:12
KrywkHahaha01:12
i7con startup i have like 200MiB used. how nice is this. thanks to xfce tho. unity would eat RAM like windows.01:12
KrywkAnyone here experienced in Mono?01:12
NictraSaviosi7c, I use Gnome 3. The only thing that I like about unity is the taskbar icon that integrates Mail, Chat, Social Networks and Feeds all into one nice menu.01:13
NictraSaviosi7c, Its a ram eater but... Its a pretty ram eater P. Maybe I'll give Cinnamon a go in a week or so.01:14
domino14init[dot]d: hi01:15
i7cNictraSavios: :D yeh it's pretty indeed. but i can't take delays. those make me mad. and xfce is fast and with some confing and theming beautiful + highly usable01:15
init[dot]ddomino14, ohai01:15
ulehi.. Why the version 12.04 server has changed the "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" command? How can I change my keyboard map now?  Someone can help me to how to change my keyboard in version 12.04 using only CLI?01:15
domino14init[dot]d: so i got my openvpn server and client, and i believe i've connected the client to the server -- is ee this line Tue Jun 26 01:06:54 2012 Initialization Sequence Completed01:16
domino14but doing ping 10.8.0.1 times out01:16
NictraSaviosi7c, No arguments here, it's a stable, spartan DE and those that like it, love it!01:16
init[dot]ddomino14, thats a gateway IP01:16
init[dot]dwhats the IP of the server?01:16
domino14i used the default server conf file that has this server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.001:17
i7cNictraSavios: :). anyways i'm off to bed. see ya around.01:17
domino14the comments above it say The server will take 10.8.0.1 for itself,01:17
NictraSaviosi7c, Night :P01:17
domino14# Each client will be able to reach the server # on 10.8.0.1. Comment this line out if you are01:17
NictraSaviosDoes splitting your layout over multiple partitions (/, /home, /boot, /var, /usr and /tmp) have any real advantage for a home user vs the standard (/ and /boot) config. (I don't use my /home for data, I use a separate ntfs partition) ?01:17
init[dot]dok ifconfig01:18
domino14ifconfig tun0 tells me inet addr:10.8.0.6  P-t-P:10.8.0.5  Mask:255.255.255.25501:18
domino14 (on the client)01:18
init[dot]dis there already anything attached to that IP address?01:18
th0rNictraSavios, having a separate /home partition means when/if you reinstall your config files remain intact01:18
domino14ifconfig tun0 on the server tells me inet addr:10.8.0.1  P-t-P:10.8.0.2  Mask:255.255.255.25501:18
domino14i don't think theres anything attached01:19
ratcheerNictraSavios: No, just /home like th0r said01:19
init[dot]dand a ping times out?01:20
domino14yeah they just all fail01:20
NictraSaviosratcheer, th0r So all that stuff about it being better to have a /var, /usr and /tmp dosen't apply for home use? No increased security gained?01:20
eforsdd01:21
init[dot]ddomino14, ok are you in the server or in a vm or what?01:21
th0rNictraSavios, I have run linux for a long time, and find that having / and /home is all I need01:21
domino14the server is a box on EC2, the client is a box on Rackspace01:21
domino14i guess by box i mean a virtual server01:22
=== ztag100 is now known as Guest64242

NictraSaviosth0r, Alright, thank you. I use luks encryption so I need a separate /boot. But otherwise, you advice helps a lot! aha01:22
init[dot]dok and can you ssh into 10.8.0.1?01:22
NictraSaviosyour*01:22
ratcheerNictraSavios: I also use a separate swap partition, but it is shared among all my Linux distros.01:22

NictraSaviosratcheer, I tend to use swap files since having them on the root means their already encrypted, no need to worry about unencrypted data being written to them on suspend to disk.01:23

rhizmoedoes show-desktop always clear ALL WORKSPACES?01:29
Pinkamena_Di need help routing traffic from transmission-daemon into a seperatc network interface01:29

Pinkamena_Dusing iptables01:29
IronFarthey01:29
IronFarthow do i cancel this dropbox install01:29
rhizmoeIronFart: ask dropbox01:29
IronFartit's hanging at 99% and until I figure out how to properly get rid of it01:29
IronFartI can't use the synaptic package manager01:29
IronFartor install anything else for that matter01:29
Pinkamena_Dwell i thought you guys would understand what it was supposed to look like from the code because irssi provides no real way to do it01:30
Pinkamena_D(or i guess irc protocol)01:30

DraxelHi guys! How to increase fan speed? My laptop is running hot, it even shut down it self. :/01:30
shadykhanand i cant click anything01:30
init[dot]dPinkamena_D, welcome back01:31
Pinkamena_Dyes, so i have to express my italics with plain text01:31
Pinkamena_D-_-01:31
rhizmoeoh /really/01:31
Pinkamena_Dhmm01:31
Pinkamena_Dok i will remember that for the future01:31
rhizmoe*do that*01:31
rhizmoeoh, that's usually bold01:31
Pinkamena_Dhello again etc/init.d01:31
Pinkamena_Dcan you explain your iptables suggestion a bit? (if you have time)01:32
Draxelhow to control fan speed?01:32
rhizmoei didn't have one01:32
Pinkamena_Di meant init.d01:32
init[dot]dPinkamena_D, like?01:32
Draxelhey01:32
Draxelwhat's the temperature of your laptops running ubuntu 12.04?01:33
shadykhanso any idea with the stuck cursor?01:33
DraxelCPU temperature01:33
Pinkamena_Dwell, how does it sync with trnsmission? does the incoming traffic port spefici all traffic or just incoming? can you bind iptables to a pid instead of a port if not?01:33
Draxel my CPU is at 80Celcius :/01:33
haz3lnutDraxel: that's freakin hot01:33
haz3lnutDraxel: check your cooling fan. it may be loose.01:34
Draxelhaz3lnut and the cpu usage is 16%01:34
init[dot]dPinkamena_D, it would be done by port01:34
haz3lnutor clogged with dust01:34
Pinkamena_Dfor the cursor try violently tapping all the keys on your keyboard and mouse01:34
Draxelhaz3lnut it works fine on win7 so i think this is a software issue01:34
Pinkamena_Dthat usually works for me01:34
Pinkamena_Dok, so port01:35
haz3lnutDraxel: are you overclocked?01:35
init[dot]dand would look similar to this /sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 10.40.30.123 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 10.40.30.123:31337(your_port_here)01:35
Pinkamena_Dtheir is no port specified in settings.json, but their is one in the program itself01:35
Draxelhaz3lnut no. it's just a dell laptop with i3 cpu.01:35
Pinkamena_Dhowever it only says "incoming"01:35
Pinkamena_Dwhat is DPORT and the two addresses01:36
haz3lnutDraxel: 16% doesn;t seem high enough to cause all that heat.01:36
Draxelhaz3lnut is there any way to manually increase fan speed on ubuntu?01:36
Pinkamena_Dare they gateways or the ip of the interfaces or what01:36
=== ryan_ is now known as dj_ryan
haz3lnutDraxel: that, I don;t know01:37
eforswhat kernel is Ubuntu on now?01:37
DoobieDoobie3.201:37
eforsthx01:37
DoobieDoobienp01:37
eforsHow do you see that?01:37
DoobieDoobie$ uname -r01:38
Draxelhaz3lnut,  my laptop unexpectedly shut down while i was working with gimp. I think, the fan is not running as fast as needed01:38
init[dot]dPinkamena_D, open a terminal and man iptables01:38
init[dot]dit gives a breakdown of all of it and how to do it01:38
Pinkamena_Di tried that once, it just broke everything01:39
Pinkamena_Dhowever, if you believe it to be the best course of action, so be it01:39
haz3lnutDraxel: wish I could help you more.  It just seems unlikely it's software, and more likely you have too much dust in your machine.  Screwdriver and a vacuum usually helps with that.01:40
DoobieDoobieDraxel: Be careful with that vacuum hose, though.01:40
Pinkamena_Ddraxel, though not a global statement, all the laptops i have used are generally bad for things processor intensive01:40
haz3lnutlol01:40
DoobieDoobie;)01:40
haz3lnutdon;t suck up any capacitors!01:41
DoobieDoobieexactamundo!01:41
Draxelhaz3lnut, Thanks for your help. I'll try to sort it out :)01:41
Pinkamena_Dif clearing the dust does not help, though, you may try prying the heatsinks and applying some artic silver or something01:41
shadykhanMy mouse is stuck in drag&drop mode is there a way to fix it without restarting?01:41
Pinkamena_Dthat helped greatly on one for me01:41
Draxelbut it is commonly known that ubuntu makes pcs run hotter isn't it?01:41
Pinkamena_Dnot that i was aware of01:42
DoobieDoobieMe either.01:42
haz3lnutNo01:42
domino14hey i got a question about openvpn.. the internet told me to set it in UDP mode but i really need all the packets for this operation (redis replication)01:42
domino14will openvpn be smart enough to not actually drop those packets?01:42
DoobieDoobieMy laptop actually runs cooler on Ubuntu, of course YMMV.01:42
Draxeleven battery life is lower on ubuntu even though no intensive applications are used01:43
DoobieDoobieDraxel: Compared to what?01:43
Draxelwin701:44
Pinkamena_Di do not think that is a global statement, but i suppose it is possible drivers for other operating systems may work better.01:44
Pinkamena_Din specific applications01:44
DoobieDoobieHonestly, it's hard to make a comparision without a lab-type setup.01:44
DoobieDoobieEach OS, configuration, installed software, are so different. Even on the same box.01:45
Pinkamena_Dstill, no matter what OS you decide to run, clean out the dust, replace the thermal paste if needed01:45
DraxelI had several laptops running both ubuntu and win7, and I noticed both hotter temperatures as well as shorter battery lives :) that's just my observation.01:45
Pinkamena_Dmaybe the fan itself want bad and runs slow, i have had thos heppen to my northbridge once01:45
DraxelPinkamena I use relatively new laptop01:45
Pinkamena_Dalright, np, just saying that has worked for me ...sometimes01:46
Draxelanyway, I suspect this is something to do with fan speed. I need to increase it ;)01:46
haz3lnutDraxel: you might want to research cpufrequtils. I have never used it, and others here might have som input, but it will allow you to have more control over your cpu speed, thus potentially reducing heat.01:47
fwissHi, #Ubuntu. I have a partition problem.01:47

dr_willissicko so you do or do not see a GRUB menu when you first boot wwith a list of the  differnt linux  kernels?02:39
sickono grub menu str8 into ubntu02:39
dr_willisso the grub menu is hidden.  holding shift as it boots should make it appear.02:40
sickook lets try that02:40
sickobrb02:40
dr_willisthey really really need to print some message about hidden grub when the system boots.. or ust stop hideing the thing..02:40
sickono joy holding shift02:42
zombifierLooks like it's changing timeout value by hand02:42
sickodr_willis,  no grub menu whatsoever02:43
baazigarinit[dot]d : how to decrypt it again?02:43
sickodr_willis, holding shift does make it apppear02:43
baazigarinit[dot]d : i simply did mcrypt dom.txt02:43
baazigarhow to decrypt it again02:43
dr_willissicko you can edit the file /etc/default/grub   to change the timeout value and have it not hide the grub menu. but im not on a  linux box so cant walk you through it.02:44
dr_willisbut there should be others in here that can, and tons of online docs on the /etc/default/grub file02:44

Jordan_UJagst3r15: I don't understand what you mean. Could you try to rephrase your question?02:51
Jagst3r15like u know how u can get the google chrome from google.com it is more up to date, however it does not have auto update02:51
zombifierJagst3r15: I haven't used Chrome, but I think it automatically adds it repo into your system02:52
Jagst3r15so how would u update it02:52
zombifierso it's updated via Update Manager02:52
Jagst3r15cuz the chromium one is bad02:52
Jagst3r15it is like a full version behind02:52
sickoJordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060101/02:52
Jordan_UJagst3r15: Installing google chrome's .deb packages automatically adds a chrome repository.02:52
Jagst3r15and that will update itself?02:52
zombifierUbuntu's Update Manager will do the job02:53
LikeMate qap02:53
dr_willisgoogle chromes deb does add the google repo. then the package manager can updagte chrome.. yes..02:53
Jagst3r15u know im taking about google chrome not chromium right02:54
Jagst3r15sorry just checking cuz i am noob02:54
Jordan_Usicko: Could you run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces? (ubottu will give you instructions).02:54
dr_willisGoogles Official Chrome DEB file.. adds the google Repository when the deb is installed....02:54
Jordan_U!bootinfo | sicko02:54
ubottusicko: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at).02:54
sickokk02:55
Jagst3r15dr_willis does it like check the google.com repo daily to see if its current?02:55
Jagst3r15trying to figure out how it works kinda ;)02:55
dr_willisJagst3r15:  the package manager handles the updateing and checking... so how often it checks is  how often its checked...02:56
dr_willisI set mine to check once a week i belive02:56
zombifierJagst3r15: If you're familiar with PPA, then this is the same02:56
Jagst3r15i am not02:56
dr_willis!ppa02:56

ScrivenerMonkeyDust, So I've heard...03:30
ScrivenerEven so...03:30
ScrivenerMeh.03:30
dr_willisi find  nvidia support in linux better then ati/amd/fglrx - but so much depends on theexact cards you have03:30
ScrivenerLet me get this error for you.03:30
ScrivenerThe exact card is an EVGA GTX 560Ti03:30
dr_willisJagst3r15:  i never have needed to03:30

ScrivenerBut I'll grab the error.03:30
ScrivenerI'm using nvidia-settings.03:30
Jagst3r15k thnx03:30
ScrivenerI'll take a look. Thanks MonkeyDust03:31
ScrivenerWhen researching my error, it seems like *every* single instance of it (and there are several) have gone unanswered03:31
dr_willisi tend to use the nvidia cards that have been out a while and are not 'cutting edge' so are more of a value/bang for the buck cards.  so i rarely  have issues with them03:31
ScrivenerExcept for one who said it was because nvidia-settings did not launch as root.03:31
ScrivenerSo I did so at the command line, but still no dice.03:31
dr_willisgksudo nvidia-settings  ;)03:32

ScrivenerOf that command.03:34
mindbender1can someone offer an advice03:34

jga75Can anyone give me advice about ubiquiti access points?03:34
meiji11L3top: doesn't seem that I did. I typed the command without the grep pipe, and it gave me a bunch of lines, none of which contain 'candid' apparently03:34

L3topmeiji11: I am looking for Candidate03:35
meiji11 L3top: right, it was "apt-cache policy | grep -i candid", right? I typed precisely that.03:36
jga75thanks drr_willis03:36

AndChat223345I have a little problem about priviledge.Provided I have two linux distros installed on one pc, a file created and owned by a user in linux A,would the permissions and ownership of that file 'transfered' to the user in linux B that shared the same uid with the oringinal user in linux A?  hope I didn't post question in wrong place..03:40
L3top!info xorg-video-abi-1003:40
ubottuPackage xorg-video-abi-10 does not exist in precise03:40
L3topuhhh... that's weird... let me look at your sources again meiji1103:41
oxbat什么03:41
JVBVHello03:42
meiji11L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/106014303:42
jrdnnAndChat223345 The permissions would be based on the mountpoint03:42
jrdnnJVBV: Hi03:42
Scrivener_Alright, so I got it operational.03:43
JVBVDoes anyone have experience with making USR OEM 2891 Internal modems work under 10.04? According to the readme I need to compile a kernel module for it, which fails horribly (many errors).03:43
Scrivener_What I was trying to do was "apply" twinview settings after changing them in nvidia-servre.03:43
L3toplol... I still had it... your sources aren't the problem as near as I can tell meiji11... however... I do not understand what is calling that package, which does not exist in 1204... nor does that nvidia package exist in earlier repos... so... I am a bit mystified.03:44
Scrivener_I just used the "save to xorg.conf" option and then restarted the X server.03:44
oxbatwhat03:44
oxbatwhat's this03:44
meiji11L3top: I see. weird.03:44
oxbatthis03:44
Scrivener_Well, it displayed blackness aside from a wonky purple bar atop the second monitor, so I rebooted the computer.03:44
Scrivener_Lo and behold, I now have a working second monitor.03:44
Scrivener_Weird.03:44
L3topmeiji11: I don't really know how to advise you... apt-cache depends/rdepends does not reveal this as a pre-requisite nor a post-requisite. I need to push you to someone who understands this error... as it strikes me  as wizardry... and I cannot fight wizards. They creep me out.03:47
omidoHi. noob here. i have some questions about Java. which package should someone install to enable java? openJDK 6 or 7 (and/or Iced Tea web?) . what about Oracle(sun)Java?03:47
anonymous_hello bro03:47
meiji11L3top: ok, thanks for your help.03:47
dr_willisomido: depends on your java needs.03:48
dr_willis!java | omido03:49
ubottuomido: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software  Development Kit" (SDK).  Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.03:49
L3topomido: sun (oracle now) java is no longer available in repos due to the awesome licensing because of the takeover... most things will run in OS java, but some will not. The long answer is to recommend you DL from Oracle... but there is a PPA with a deb package which makes it... much much easier.03:49
anonymous_hoho.....03:49
anonymous_wake up nero...03:50
L3topneo03:50
anonymous_the matrix has you03:50
L3topanonymous_: this is not a chat room. Do you have an ubuntu support queston?03:50
meiji11L3top: the graphical login does come up.. it's unity that seems to hang.03:50
AndChat223345jrdnn:urr... That said, it would bypass the permission config if I mount a filesystem to a folder which i have high priviledge ,even though that file was created and owned by someone in another linux system?03:51
Nom-Is it generally recommended to have /boot on a non-LVM partition these days?03:51
jrdnnAndChat223345 That's how rescue CDs work03:51
Nom-Or is Grub/etc fine with LVM?03:51
L3topmeiji11: that is because it is 3d... which will be hideously broken if you are trying to use the current drivers on that hardware. I am very sorry, but you MUST use the nvidia 173 driver.03:51
meiji11L3top: what if I drop down to unity 2d?03:52
meiji11L3top: or some other window manager03:52
L3topmeiji11: It will only be sometimes broken03:52
omidoThankyou dr_willis  and L3top  can you please give me the link to ubuntu package of Oracle Java? I just moved from openSUSE to ubuntu and i was using the sun java in opensuse which was in their repos. also adobe reader was there but i cannot find in ubuntu03:52
L3topmeiji11: You will be able to do almost ANYTHING you want on 173... you will not be able to do MOST of what you want on current. You are lucky to have basic graphics.03:53
Jagst3r15meiji11 whats your processor?03:53
meiji11L3top: ok then. I'll make do with what I can get for now, I guess.03:53
meiji11Jagst3r15: let me check.03:53
AndChat223345jrdnn:Get it,thx.  this is funny...03:54
jrdnnAndChat223345 You're welcome :)03:54
L3topmeiji11: honestly... you should get to the bottom of what the conflict is. It should NOT exist.03:54
mindbender1L3top: actually why I started looking for drivers is because I'm getting better perf with my battery on windows almost 3 hours difference and I guess that's because ubuntu is always spinning my fan03:55
L3topomido: ppas are EXPLICITLY not supported... but http://xubuntugeek.blogspot.com/2012/05/install-oracle-java-7-in-xubuntu-1204.html  should get you there.03:55
meiji11L3top: right, I know. I'm hoping someone will fix the broken package and the problem will resolve itself.03:55

battlehandsI am in terminal.  After executing some python commands, my terminal starts displaying "funky characters" when I try to type.  I ctrl+d and I can begin typing letters again, but I cannot get back to my default command line.  This is a repeating problem.  Please advise.03:56
bazhangomido, acroread is in partner repo now03:56

MadeTheLeapHas anyone here experienced that "cable unplugged" error for a wired network connection?03:56
mindbender1L3top: any directions will be taken well.. what do you suggest03:57
dr_willis!java | omido03:57

MadeTheLeapHas anyone upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04?03:59
ejvbattlehands: type `reset`03:59
L3topmindbender1: my suggestions are not particularly good or well receiived in this channel, and involve google. Please restate your battery issue again for the main channel, and I am sure someone more aware will address it.03:59
ejvshould do the trick03:59
dr_willisMadeTheLeap:  its possible.  do yiu have a more specific question?03:59
dorskanyone awake?04:00
dr_willisZZZzzz...04:00
MadeTheLeapdr_willis: I did the 11.10 to 12.04 upgrade and my NIC stopped working.  I got an error message "cable unplugged" error for a wired network connection.  Any ideas how to fix it?04:01
L3topmeiji11: You should expect all manner of chaotic behavior on that driver. your HW is EXPLICITLY not supported. They want a unified driver. Your HW cannot be made to work, so they produce a driver specifically for you. You need to work out the issue preventing you from installing it... not try to duct tape a driver KNOWN to be incompatable.04:01
dr_willisMadeTheLeap:  nope.. other then say check the cable.. make sure the dog dident chew it.04:01
MadeTheLeapdr_willis:  Cable's totally fine.  NIC is fine.  It totally worked in 11.10 and during the upgrade.04:02
zykotick9MadeTheLeap: does your NIC have a light, is it on?04:02
dr_willisMadeTheLeap:  check tghe forums and askubuntu.com also would be a good starting point04:02

zykotick9!grub | dorsk04:03

guest-Awrs3Ci trust ubuntu.04:09
bazhangguest-Awrs3C, please stop with the enter key04:09
guest-Awrs3Cis there a way to recover my files as guest?04:09
dorskshould be doable with a live-cd as long as your home folder isnt encrypted, no?04:10
guest-Awrs3Ci have ubuntu on a cd. do you mean like a fresh install?04:10
L3topguest-Awrs3C: ubuntu is not the culprit. Poor security practice is... You could likely chroot in from a live disk and create another admin account but... if root is gone... I would just login to live disk and transfer files off.04:11
dorskboot from live-cd, mount the drive and backup the files04:11
dorskshould work, unless whoever has root access decided to encrypt your drive04:11

dr_willisStretch:  best $8 i spent was on a usb wifi dongle that has full linux support out ofthe box. :) makes it  easy to plug into a problem laptop so i can update/upgrade it. and hopefully use the addational-drivers tool to install any needed 3rd party wifi packages needed04:56
dr_willisStretch:  you did update/upgrade the whole system yet?  the fact you can go wired - makes life a lot easier04:57
Stretchim not even sure where to go to update/upgrade04:57
dr_willisand its the chipset of the wifi card thats the imporntant bit. :) not the actual make of the laptop04:57

Geoffrey2I recently got a new laptop that came preinstalled with Windows 7...I installed Ubuntu inside Windows 7 using Wubi, letting me dual boot....then I went into Ubuntu, and copied a bunch of data files from the old computer's HD..I'm wondering if I can access any of that information when I boot to Windows instead of Ubuntu, and where I might find the folders?05:06
dr_willisGeoffrey2:  wubi stores stuff in a special hard drive image file. Im not sure of any way windows can mount that file. perhaps with some of the ext3 exploreer tools out for windows.05:08
dr_willisthe host windows drive IS accessable from wubi in some special location on the / of the system.05:09
dr_willisso you could boot the wubi install. and copy datga to the windows drive05:09
Geoffrey2dr_willis, ah, thanks, that'll probably work just as well....05:11

dr_willisrinzler:  the desktop cd does not have  the text based insttaller. only the alternative installer cd does05:22
rinzlerdr_willis: Thanks!05:23
SecretFireis it easy to set up a ubuntu based network for a very small company, say 25 employees05:24
dr_willisi think in the next relase they are talkking about having both be  on all the cds. but not looked at the 12.10 release yet.05:24
dr_willisshouldent be too hard SecretFire05:24
dr_willisdepends on what work they are doing05:24
init[dot]dSecretFire, very05:24
SecretFirethere is different levels05:25
rinzlerdr_willis: that would be nice...05:25
SecretFirefor example, the management have more privilidges05:25
dr_willisone router and  25 pcs :) .. take a a few hrs id guess.. setting up users.. may  be harder depending on the details.05:25
SecretFireok got it05:26
SecretFirethats what i thought it took05:26
dr_willisdozens of ways you could set things up.. its all in the details..05:26
init[dot]d^^05:26
SecretFiredoes it have to be a certain type of router05:26
dr_willisabout any router should be able to handle just 25 pcs05:27
SecretFireok05:27
dr_willisyou will need a few hubs i imagine. :) unless they are wireless pcs05:27
SecretFireno they aren't05:27

[deXter]And here I am, throwing away a 32 port switch because I've no use for it..05:28
dr_willislets you plug in more pcs...05:28
dr_willismost routers for soho use have like 4 ports..05:28
dr_williseach port to a 4 or higher port  hub/switch to let you put more then 4 into the router.05:29
nandinho_UJSimagen all people linvins on the peace05:30
dr_willisa single  hub/switch with 16+ ports would make life easier. :)05:30
SecretFirei see05:30
dr_willismay be easie to just put wifi dongles/cards  on the pcs :)05:30
SecretFireso for 25 pcs ideally i would need a 25+ hub05:30
dr_willisdepends on the office layout.05:31

dr_willis2 x 16's would work. :) depends on the router05:31
SecretFirecan you recommend one?05:31

dr_willisLearnToTroll:  50gb for / is a bit large.. ive rarely managed to go more then 20gb with my / :) but /home is the big data hog normally05:38
[deXter]LearnToTroll, 50 GB is too much for root, and so is a 7GB swap05:38

LearnToTrolli read somewhere online that your supposed to double up on your swap for how much RAM you have05:39
LearnToTrollis that true?05:39
[deXter]LearnToTroll, that was the old traditional rule of thumb05:39
dr_willisso your / is a bit large.. 20gb would be fine. you may or may not need that much swap. but it wont hurt.05:39
LearnToTrolloh, that must be the rule for swap not RAM right?05:40
LearnToTrollcause arent they 2 different things?05:40

sniggleswhen I try to install 12.04: I get to the welcome screen. I tried the 1st and 2nd options. For both, the green light on the cd drive blinks for a while and then quits. I think it has something to do with my Nvidia card?06:15
dr_willissniggles:  1st/second?  You mean the 'Install, or Try Ubuntu' options?06:17
snigglesyes both06:18
dr_willisBEAR44: ask an actual support question and see who responds. ;)06:18
dr_willisX is allreayd running whenit asks those questions.. so i dont thinkits  an nvidia card issue. You could try the nomodeset option anyway if you wanted to.06:19

chamunkssorry06:28
dr_willisgo with the one thats older and been out longer.. it should have better support06:28
chamunksdr_willis, well im kind of privy to the concept of letting the cam do the encoding but if ubuntu just ignores it than its a clear choice.06:29
dr_willisi doubt if thats more then a marketing gimmic anyway..06:29
nocturnal_why does xinit start while startx goes to a black screen?06:30
chamunksdr_willis, well the specs say it has an encoding chip in it.  So its streaming it from the cam pre processed thats not much of a gimmic if ubuntu handles it correctly it should theoretically reduce alot of work post processing if doing video captures.06:31
chamunksCould anyone point me in a direction forum wise where I could maybe post the question to get a more difinitive answer?06:32

ranchedchamunks what do you need help with06:33
chamunksranched, im looking to find out if theres a point in me looking to buy the logitech c920 over the c91006:33
chamunksranched, my reasoning is the c920 has been stated to have a h264 encoding chip in the cam thus outsourcing the encodeing to the camera.06:34
bkerensachamunks: We do not offer advice on purchasing electronics here.06:34
chamunksranched, The c910 does not.  The issue is that if ubuntu cant / wont accept the stream from the camera like the windows variant of the logitech06:35
chamunksbkerensa, i'm not asking about... if you dont know what youre talking about why are you talking.06:35
ranchedchamunks: not of the chips in a device like that will come close to x264 from ffmpeg.06:35

WaraudonI'm using tc (traffic control) on a Ubuntu box acting as a router. What's the best way to persist tc rules through a reboot?07:51
dr_willisLenovoG470:  use the addational-drivers tool to insgtall the drivers you want. reboot . see if they work.. if not you use the command line, or jockey-text fromthe command line to remove them.07:51
vampirnataNerf_Jihad: any idea regarding my previous question about lm-sensors?07:52

VectorXhi, is there a definitive guide on getting multiseat working on 12.04, i followed several web tutes,etc but cant seem to get it to work ?07:54
dr_willisLenovoG470:  totally depends on your chipset and the version of the drivers.. ive never needed to use the post-release ones07:54
alexmmHello is there a way to limit cpu usage of gwibber or python?07:54
Nerf_Jihadvampirnata: all the ones I've seen that let you plug your own drive into them were pretty simple. Apparently they've gotten better since the last time I bought one07:54
vampirnataNerf_Jihad: ahh okay. I'm not too concerned but I was curious about the GPU temp. The board came with a very noisy little fan on the intel GPU. I removed it and put a decent 120mm fan on the outside of the case instead. The CPU temp went from 39degrees to 20degrees, so I hope the gpu temp also decreased :)07:55

aetoxxdr_willis, the package installs, but the package installs a package builder which doesn't work.08:20
nocturnal_dr_willis: where do you put the xinitrc?08:20

nocturnal_kexwork: that's what i've been using, but i just am curious why startx won't08:22

cavemanquit08:23
dr_willisnocturnal_:  both are fancy scripts. you could read through them and see what they are doing i guess.08:23
dr_willisactually startx may be wanting a .xsession these days.. i recall  linking my .xinitrc to .xsession ages ago for some reason08:24

dr_willis!info refit09:41
ubotturefit (source: refit): graphical boot menu for ia32 and x64 EFI systems. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.14-2ubuntu1 (precise), package size 445 kB, installed size 1172 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; kfreebsd-amd64)09:41

terminhellneo1691: hmm, not sure, seems like your missing something ya need then, id run an apt-cache search bluetooth for something09:41
loparczewThanks.09:42
kanliotthanks for help, i guess i need a mac to understand mac booting09:43
fidelkanliot: try asking in ##mac09:43
terminhellor BSD kanliot haha09:43
dr_willismakes me wonder why  they made the booting so complex on them. ;)09:43
neo1691terminhell, there is a big list with everything that matches to bluetooth, but i see one gnome-bluetooth09:43
theadminkanliot: Simply install the grub-efi package and you should be good to go (I think. Might need to re-run grub-install -- I'm not sure about how well Ubuntu automates this.)09:43
fidelkanliot: the mac channel has at least 2-3 technical users which should know efi and the booting scenario quite well - or consider searching for hackintosh - which is the area where ppl discuss macs & booting etc as well09:44
terminhellneo1691: go for it? at te very worst you end up uninstalling it09:44
dr_willis!bluetooth09:44
ubottuFor instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup09:44
kanlioti just need to know what it involves, when I try and get mac people to use ubuntu09:45
neo1691terminhell, i am actually using unity.. dr_willis !buethooth??09:45
dr_willismac people normally use macs because of the mac apps they cant live without. ;)09:45
theadminkanliot: Mac people are Mac people. You can't get them to use *anything*09:45
fidelkanliot: my personal hint: in case someone gets apple HW - use the apple SW as well. everything else is a big mess ...at least in details09:45
fidelkanliot: spending time and effort to make them using something else is more or less wasting time - nor will it easily work09:46
terminhelll8r all09:47
fidelkanliot: best way offering them an easy first look & feel into linux is running some kind of virtual machine inside osx. This reduces the install/setup husstle as well - as you dont need to mess with efi, partitions etc09:47
fidelvirtualbox, vmware fusion or parallels should all do the vm-job quite well. Have fun09:48

peni_hello, I chowned a file, but I still get permission denied when trying to cat it. what am I doing wrong?10:08
graingert_ufowhy does virtualbox-guest-additions depend on virtualbox-qt10:08
dr_willispeni_:  ls -l thefile    whats its full permissions10:08
theadminpeni_: What's the actual mode of that file?10:08
graingert_ufoit seems a bit mad wanting the vbox guest additions I have to have the actual VM10:09
peni_theadmin: dunno what mode is, but it's one of those weird files in /sys/kernel/10:09
dr_willispeni_:  ls -l thefile    and show us..10:09
graingert_ufopeni_: yeah don't mess about with that10:10
theadminpeni_: Ah, sysfs... It's special, don't mess with that unless you're sure what you're doing... I think only root has access to that anyway10:10
dr_willisand what are you trying to do wwith the file?10:10
morriI get 'load detected on head A' in dmesg and also my resolution is wrong and I can't force it into the right one- any clue where the 'load detected' comes from?10:10
peni_dr_willis: -rwxr-xr-x 1 peni root 0 etc.10:10
dr_willisthe files name is 'etc.' ?10:11
graingert_ufopeni_: what's the filename and path10:11
peni_ /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch (sorry, failing to copy from terminal)10:12
dr_willisif you want to alter the contents of the file. you should be using sudo to do so. not trying to change its ownership.10:12
dr_williswhich will get reset on the next reboot anyway10:13
peni_dr_willis: I know, I chown it in rc.local, but why doesn't it work?10:13
dr_willisi would bet its somthing to do with it being part of /sys/ but lets ask why you are trying to change it.. and do what with it exacatgly?10:15
peetaurIf my goal is to get logs when systems crash, can I use a regular TCP/UDP syslog server, or do I need to use a serial console logger?10:16
testiIs it a known bug, that user-interface of unity behaves non-deterministic?10:17
peni_dr_willis: well, not really relevant, but since you ask, I downloaded a script to change the active gfx card, and it requires reading from and writing to this file...10:17
testie.g.: If i press the super key an odd number of times the dash doesn't show up necessarily10:17
dr_willisso if you run the script with sudo. or run it as root from rc.local it shouldhave access10:18
dr_willisgotta run.. quitting time..10:18
peni_dr_willis: yeah, I know but it needs to be run as  user for some parts of the script10:18
theadmingraingert_ufo: virtualbox-guest-additions-iso depends on virtualbox which depends on virtualbox-qt.10:22

ConradzzI've got a Asus netbook, that I've tried to get running at least somewhat stable, but it seems it just wants to freeze11:36
ConradzzI installed ubuntu 12.04 on it to begin with, and updated completely, then I would get hard freezes within a few seconds of hitting the login screen11:36
Conradzzso I uninstalled it, reinstalled, and chose not to install any updates, and it ran fine for a while11:37
Conradzzuntil one day, out of the blue it started freezing on me again at login11:37
Conradzzso I decided to update and upgrade the system, that got it working for about a few hours, then it started randomly freezing11:37
ConradzzI've tried proprietary drivers, and non-proprietary11:38

IronIronbut I just downloaded and extracted the linux version of blender 2.63 from the official blender site11:40
IronIronI can't get it to run11:41
morriany  idea elky?11:41
IronIronI went to the directory in terminal and typed blender into console, I just get 2.62 launching11:41
fidelIronIron: personaly i would stick to SW coming via apt or ppa (in case you trust it)11:41
elkymorri, no sorry. your card is very old :-/11:41
fidelmanually installing software sounds like the beginning of the end11:41
IronIronit's from the official blender.org site11:41
theadminIronIron: "blender" will refer to blender in your $PATH. Try "./blender" or "/path/to/directory/blender" instead.11:41
IronIronokay, so how do I change that?11:41
morrimy pc 10 years old..11:42
theadminIronIron: Change what?11:42
Conradzzso, I just loaded up by clicking Ubuntu 2d, opened firefox went to a youtube video, dragged the play bar, and it froze again11:42
IronIronor at least get blender 2.63 launching11:42
IronIronI want to launch blender 2.6311:42
theadminIronIron: Well I just pointed out how to launch what you downloaded :/11:42
IronIronhmm, didn't see the ./11:42
IronIronI shall try that11:42
IronIronpermission denied11:43
DJonesmorri: I used to have a geforce2 card, I've not used it for a few years, from memory I stopped using it because it was no longer supported in the official nvidia drivers, it would only work with vesa or the nouveau driver, but with both of those, I could get 1600*1200 resolutions, just no special effects11:43
maedoxConradzz: does it still freeze if you don't use flash in a web browser? e.g. normal browsing, or you could test HTML5 on youtube by at youtube.com/html511:43
theadminIronIron: That's odd... Let me try it here11:43
IronIronhttp://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/11:44
IronIronthat's where i got it from, I got 2.63 64 bit for linux11:44
ConradzzI'll give it a go maedox, I have tried html5 on this netbook before and its basically unwatchable11:44

remonteescan i uninstall xterm or xdiagnose ???11:50
maedoxConradzz: OK, do you have a live CD or USB stick you can try? See if the same happens with that.11:50
LjLremontees: you probably can. try, and before you hit "Yes", look at what else is going to be removed with them.11:51
maedoxNot sure how, but we need to see some logs like /var/log/syslog and dmesg|tail to make any sense of it.11:51
remonteesUh LjL ???11:51

LjLremontees: apt-get will tell you what packages will be removed when you try to remove a package. if it says only xterm (for example) will be removed, it's ok, if it says many packages will be removed, it's not ok11:52

remonteesWhat are this packages ???11:53
maedoxapt-get install openssh-server on the netbook, then download putty on the windows and use that to connect11:54

LjLremontees: xdiagnose is a program to help you if X stops working. you probably want to keep it.11:54
remonteesAnd an other thing strange : when I try to install Kdenlive, Ubuntu wants me to install KDE !!!!11:54

fidelismail_213213: clonezilla just heavily dislikes smaller target-partitionsd11:56
LjLremontees: it's normal for KDE programs to need a whole lot of KDE libraries11:56
fidelhaving bigger targets shouldnt be an issue11:56
maedoxConradzz: Usually there might be small issues, but normally easy to fix. It seems you have been very unlucky. Freezes like that are very uncommon.11:56
Conradzzya, I've been in this chat probably 3-4 times in the past 6 months, everyone tells me its my fault in the end11:56

maedoxikonia: we might get lucky and get something useful. Worth a shot.11:58
ikoniamaedox: why ?11:58
Conradzznetbook froze trying to install it11:58
remonteeswhen I go to packages.debian, Kdenlive don't require kde-common !!!11:58
ikoniamaedox: if it's locking there is no capability to write11:58
theadminremontees: Debian packages are different and are called differently.11:58
Conradzzwould it work if I boot into recovery, drop into root, mount the disk, enable wifi, then install openssh?11:59
maedoxikonia: so what do you suggest?11:59
remonteestheadmin, it's a reason that I want to use Debian Testing11:59
ikoniamaedox: following through the install process, looking for errors, verifying hardware compatability, verifying hardware stability, numerous choices to follow11:59
theadminremontees: Kdenlive will still want KDE libs, be it called "kde-common", or something else.11:59

theadminspicaaay: If you want to install another OS, you can just use this OS' installer to wipe everything.12:31

alankilaspicaaay: yes, but the cd/dvd may not actually boot because it detects that the system already has an operating system. It usually prompts you to confirm that you want to boot the cd/dvd12:33
theadminjolle: If you need a web interface to manage the system, do not manage the system. That's my personal opinion, though. Basically speaking, no, it's not worth it.12:33

rumpe1SirEarl, the easiest way is to let somebody else do the job :D13:15
SirEarlhaha13:15
ElvanoThe easiest way I'd say is a USB install, because you do not neec to burn a disc13:16
Elvanoother than that does the install point itself out13:16
ElvanoPlease do not ming my gramatic errors13:16
newer_sorry, i forgot it , this is the English error,--> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060719/13:16
rumpe1Elvano, ? ... it doesn't show free space? Usually the differentiation between primary and extended partitions lead to some confusion when trying to increase the size of a partition.13:16
SirEarlI tried from disc, but it just stops13:16
Elvanorumpe1: let me bring up GParted to see what exactly it says13:17

nUwbjoachibl: lol, I'm starting to notice that there a whole lot of "languages" to learn13:24
rumpe1Elvano, ah, ok... you want to add the unallocated space to another partition, which is not direclty aligned to it? ... Then you need a filesystem, that allows something like that. Ext-filesystems alone won't allow that.13:24
rumpe1Elvano, you need more something like LVM or btrfs I guess13:25

newer_i sorry to repeat it13:44
rumpe1Elvano, it could be a bit easier, when you do all that, update your old grub while still running your old system. This way the old grub should detect the new system on the new partition, so you could use regular boot to boot into that. And _then_ execute grub-install on the new system. Maybe easier than fiddling around with grub.cfg or chroot.13:45
n105zykotick9:theadmin: do you how can i change a driver13:45

rumpe1Elvano, first you should read the article to understand, what exactly is needed for the move. As I said: you could keep the old system with the old grub for a while to boot into the new system. So it's the last step.13:47
mogajtheadmin : am getting this message "/dev/sr0: No medium found"13:48

MoPacHello all -- I have a network configuration question.  I regularly need to connect to one static IP wired network and one DHCP one. On my Win7 box, I run netsh batch tasks on event (network connect, condition network of a certain name available) to change the adapter settings.  On Ubuntu: what do?14:13
usr13MoPac: ifconfig14:14
nibbierMoPac, its very easy. right click connection manager and configure a static configuration. then you can swith easily between "auto eth0" and "what ever name you gave befoer"14:14
sacarlsonMoPac: with wicd gui you can setup multi profiles with different settings14:14
MoPacnibbier: So it will always have to be a manual switch rather than having the machine recognize a network name?14:14
nibbierMoPac, how do you recognize a network name? i mean of course you can script something that probes for IPs etc....14:15
usr13MoPac: As sacarlson suggests, if you do not like the way network-manager handles your Network Interfaces, you can install wicd and use it instead.14:15
nibbierMoPac, even: *what is* a network name?14:15

genii-aroundstudio: Are you sure that unknown partition isn't some system restore hidden partition that a lot of machines use when they come pre-installed with the MS stuff tucked away someplace ?14:21

sacarlsonstudio ya as user13: points out in his link  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdx bs=512 count=114:37
genii-aroundusr13: So it looks like bios geometry would show it as 30-whatever but then the OnTrack disk manager remaps it internally, etc14:37
genii-aroundstudio: Have you tried looking in the bios to see if it's set to Auto, or manually mapped to certain type, etc?14:38
helpcryptoPici: reported. Thanks14:38
studiono, let me reboot and check bios.14:39
studiobrb.14:39
usr13genii-around: sacarlson Yea, sounds like the easiest thing to do is to just wipe and re-partition14:39
studioI don't mind wiping the drive.14:39
studioI backed it up, but i want its full size back.14:39
usr13studio: As sacarlson points out, you probably just want to wipe it and start over.14:40
studioAnd I've heard that if you partition/format a drive while it shows a smaller size that you're stuck with it that way.14:40
studioas in can't get the original size back.14:40

usr13studio: sacarlson genii-around Yea, I don't know about the EZ-Drive thing.  I can't really give any advise. But I doubt that there is not a way to get the full size of the drive usable.14:41
dorskit's possible with some tweaks in compiz, but AFAIK, there's no native supported way of moving it in Ubuntu14:42
Kingsyanyone in here used forked-daap before ?14:42
genii-aroundusr13: I had boxes using it before under MS ... you would manually set a type in bios, which looked like some small drive specs. But then the OnTrack takes over the mbr and sort of multiplexes the CHS settings14:43
genii-around( this was for motherboards whose bios could not understand drives over certain sizes, etc )14:45

Charles1Tried the cmd without the -t <fs> and it gave me this "mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member' "16:43
Charles1"16:43
purechaosCharles1: take a look at cat /etc/fstab you will find your FS there16:43
schnuffleCharles1:  Then you have a softraid or LVM setup16:44
beandogChTiPowA: hmm, at this point the motd might not be working properly then16:44
rezaba, i'm hoping Windows isn't my only option for this controller.16:44
purechaosCharles1: take a look at cat /etc/fstab |grep ext416:44

purechaosCharles1: eemm. How do you even boot?16:45
purechaosCharles1: or was the just the hash tag?16:45
compdocfstab defines your boot, swap, and storage drives16:45
Charles1purechaos: I installed ubuntu through windows, hope that was what you meant16:45
ChTiPowAyeah beandog that's my thought too16:46
MonkeyDustCharles1  wubi?16:46
Charles1MonkeyDust: Yes, I used wubi.16:46
purechaosCharles1: copy your fstab on pastebin. Dont have to guess as much.16:46
MonkeyDustCharles1  that's an installation *inside* windows, it's not real16:47
Charles1MonkeyDust: should fstab still exist, and I know it isn't real16:47
ChTiPowAok beandog good job and thanks, it is fixed, i used the Tune2fs and it works now :)16:48
ChTiPowAmessage is gone :D16:48
Charles1I see the fstab file, everyone, everything is ok16:48
beandogChTiPowA: awesome :D16:48

rezacan anyone help me with an answer on the AIC-9140 SAS controller?16:52
rezanot having luck w/google16:52
melkorCharles1: what happens when you try to mount it?16:52
compdocCharles1, many motherboard raid controllers are not supported by linux16:52
ChTiPowAbeandog: tune2fs -T now /dev/sda3 then you remove motd and it works ;) Remember it for others or yourself :D16:53
Charles1melkor: Unable to mount, for everyone else: it is an mdadm raid 1 array16:53
rezacompdoc, you know that to be case with all controllers?16:53
schnuffleCharles1: if its a Raid1 you should have to HDD included? what tells cat /proc/mdstat16:54
Charles1shnuffle: if you meant two hdds, yes I have the second one16:55
compdocreza, no I dont know which work and which do not. but many cheaper controllers require a driver to make them work, and the manufacturers dont supply a linux driver. There are certainly lots of real raid cards that do work and have linux drivers. I like 3ware16:55

rezaso the official word from supermicro is....no support other than RedHat17:00
rezalame!17:00
Charles1Also apparently under wubi, all things handled by fstab are handled from elsewhere17:00
schnuffleCharles1: Then you would be better using a  live CD. I don't know anythin about Wubi except that people often have problems with it. So my advice: Connect both HDDs, boot from a live CD/USB, assemble the Raid,mount it, save your data17:00

thayerhallslayerhi. I'm currently using gparted to resize a 2TB ext4 partition down to 1TB. It's been at it for over an hour. Is there any way of checking the progress?17:02
Charles1melkor: no, It is a bit diffrent from a normal install17:02
schnuffleCharles1: And keep in mind that often there's LVM used on the Raid partitions, so you won't be able to mount /dev/sdX directly but /dev/<volumegroup>/<logicalvolume>17:02
Charles1scnuffle: yes you are good, Ill see if I can find a pc to install a true ubunt copy17:03
schnuffleCharles1: Assemle means put a Raid together. If your're lucky, you'll have your Raid1 ready when you boot and you can check it with cat /proc/mdstat17:03

zenmasterSo lets say I have 77 computers going through one machine, if I add another network card and bridge it so that I have 2x 100mbps lines running to the router. Would that be load balancing?17:04
hungray1Hey guys, I was wondering if I would be able to run an ubuntu server if I just installed the OS in a vm and uploaded it to an ftp server. Would I have any problems running websites or anything off of it?17:04
ikoniahungray1: not if the host machine has the power and bandwidth to do so17:04
PsychoX75well hello there... Ubuntu guys.17:05
schnufflehungray1: depends on the VM technology used the host system ...... but it possible17:05
hungray1ikonia: so it should behave like a normal server in every way? I plan on runing a website, irc, and murmur server. All under tor hidden services...17:05
hungray1schnuffle: vmware17:05
ikoniahungray1: it is a normal server - totally the same as physical hardware17:05
hungray1ikonia: I understand that, but when it is uploaded to a server as a vm file I didn't know if there would be some kind of conflicts with the network where the file was stored.17:06
schnufflehungray1: that works. But I suggest using something like LXC or OpenVZ if everything is Linux17:06
hungray1schnuffle: what are those exactly?17:06
ikoniahungray1: no, you just set the ip address for use on that server17:06
PsychoX75question... I have a network shared machine. In a windows environment i open \\192.168.1.5 and i can see everything on the HDD.   But how in heavens name do i tell ubuntu to go on the hdd of such a device and from where?17:07
hungray1ikonia: thnks17:07
ikoniahungray1: there is no need to not use vmware17:07
ikoniahungray1: if you have a working vmware host, you have no reason to change technologies on the host17:07
hungray1ikonia: can you clarify...your writing is confusing me a little (not to be insulting, im sorry xD)17:07
LostMonkso, if unity breaks, how can you fix it?17:08
melkorPsychoX75: open nautilus (file manager) and there should be a network option.17:08
schnufflehungray1: on one side you have KVM/XEN/Vmware  which emulate the whole PC with hardwrae for you and then you have openvz/lxc that are much more like a blown up chroot17:08
hungray1LostMonk: uninstall/reinstall17:08
ikoniahungray1: no instult taken17:08
ikoniahungray1: using vmware is fine, no reason to change17:08
hungray1ikonia: thanks17:08
LostMonkhungray1, whats the name of the package?17:08
hungray1LostMonk: oh wait sorry I thought you meant for vmware buddy. Not the new gui17:08
PsychoX75yeah... the catch is.... this is not a Windows machine17:09
schnufflehungray1: but ikonia is right if its just to sort it out vmware is fine17:09
LostMonkyeah, the new gui17:09
hungray1LostMonk: I had that issue a long time ago, I just did a fresh install.17:09
melkorPsychoX75: I dont know what that means at all.17:09
melkorPsychoX75: I thought you were using ubuntu?17:09
LostMonkwas hoping I could do it a faster way17:09
PsychoX75I'm using ubuntu to access a Linux-based network machine.17:09
hungray1schnuffle: Ok so one more time (im slow) I can drop that vmware file in there and everything will be daisys?17:10
=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se
melkorPsychoX75: how is the linux box sharing the drive? It sounds like a samba share.17:10
hungray1LostMonk: there is, I am not familiar with the newer ubuntu releases17:10
PsychoX75when this machine isn't listed in my 'detected machines in the network' in windows, i can just force the computer to look at the IP by typing \\192.168.1.517:10
PsychoX75But I don't know where or how to type it in linux....17:10
PsychoX75or where17:10
schnufflehungray1: of course you need to have vmware installed on the server and you need to adjust the network settings. If you don't have a public IP you'll need to used a NATEd network and set some portforwardings17:10
PsychoX75Nautilus doesn't really give me a box to type/edit the adres17:11
hungray1LostMonk: I would try sudo apt-get upgrade...that might fix it17:11
melkorPsychoX75: open nautilus, go to file and connect to server.17:11
hungray1schnuffle: ah. see in vmware you can connect to remote virtual machines...I didn't know if they meant that included virtual machines stored on plain ftp servers17:11
PsychoX75melkor: YES!!! Thanks. That helped me.  :)17:12
PsychoX75Linux ftw!!!  :D17:12
schnufflehungray1: no you need the virtualization infrastructure running on the host you want to use it.17:13

ubottusweb, please see my private message18:23
kyle__drag0nius: What "server" are you thinking of?18:23
DshoeDoes anyone know if Rhythmbox edits ID3 tags? So use to iTunes which I believe does NOT actually edit the ID3 tag when you edit a songs information.18:23
swOptichip: the Wireless page has a lot of information on. did you check that first?18:23
drag0niusubuntu server machine i have printer connected to18:23
kyle__drag0nius: If say, you've got it on a mac and are sharing it, then it should use the mac's driver (cups client passes to cups server passes to OSX driver).  If it's a windows share, not so  much.18:24
drag0niusso basically18:24
kyle__drag0nius: Sure, if the server is using the real driver, the client can just use it as generic or anything really.  Cups passes it along.18:24
drag0niuswindows is dumb? ;d18:24
kyle__drag0nius: Very much so.18:24
drag0niusi get can't connect to printer error18:25
kyle__drag0nius: But nicely, if you tell windows to connect to an IPP printer that's on CUPS, and that it's a generic windows color imagesetter, it will push postscript at CUPS, and cups will use it's native driver.18:25
kyle__drag0nius: I think you need help from #cups then.18:26
drag0niusi need to add users to read list or sth in samba?18:26
drag0niusgot em on valid users right now18:26
kyle__drag0nius: If it's a windows client, why not try it as an IPP printer first?18:27
craigbass1976If I chroot with a live cd do /dev/sda1, can I run an update that will affect the installation there?18:27
kyle__drag0nius: The only downside in windows is the ugly printer-name it makes.18:28
kyle__drag0nius: And of course if you do IPP first, and it works, then you' know the bulk of the chain is fine, and the smb thing is yoru only problem.18:28
drag0niushow to do that ipp printer stuff?18:28
drag0niusfrom add printer it still prompts me for driver18:29
ohptlabswhere would i look to see if i have the firmware for acx ?18:29
kyle__drag0nius: You add a printer and give it a host of http://<ip of your server>:631/<printername>, then choose generic drivers, generic windows color imagesetter.18:29
kyle__drag0nius: Or if you want you can choose the apple drivers, and one of their color PS printers.  That works too.18:29
drag0niusguess i need to set up cups somehow18:30
drag0niuscant access it on 63118:30
arulmozhihow can I open and use programs that are not installed but can be downloaded like eclipse and blender. when I open those exeuctables it shows there is not softwares installed for opening exeutable files.?? what shud I do???18:31
usr13kyle__: drag0nius just told us his printer was "hp deskjet 3820" which uses the hplip driver.18:31
drag0niusactually this printer uses some substitution for deskjet 970cse18:32
drag0niuson win718:32
kyle__usr13: He's printing from windows to a CUPS printer.  If you use a generic or postscript driver in windows, CUPS will gobble it up and use the correct driver internally.18:32
usr13arulmozhi: Not sure what your question is, but if there is an application you need to install it.18:32
kyle__If you use a native driver in windows to connect to a CUPS printer, it pushes the whole binary mess down the pipe.  With those HP deskjets it's a royal pain.18:33
usr13kyle__: Oh, I see.  I missed that part.  Well, I suppose he will want to use samba.  But the print drivers will be installed on the MS Windows computer, (not on his ubuntu server).18:34
arulmozhiusr13: I have downloaded the eclipse for ubuntu from the eclipse website. there i s an executable named eclipse. how to use uninstalled programs???18:34
kyle__usr13: Yea, but IPP printing is pretty easy as well, and if it works, then he knows the bulk of the setup is good, and it's just some SMB issues to work out.  If it doesn't, he needs to work on the print issues first.18:34
usr13arulmozhi: Sorry, still don't understand your question.18:35
drag0niushow do i log in at this cups web config?18:35
drag0niusfrom opera actually, when i go to administration i get forbidden18:35
swebhow can i install some package from ubuntu archive for example older packages version ?18:36
usr13kyle__: Yea, he first needs to set the printer up for use on the server.  (As if he were to be just using it from the server.)18:36
crofty_hi , i need help with hp laptop amd64 nvidia - having problems with the nvidia graphics card , it boots up and the screen unreadable in linux mint18:36

drag0niushttp://<ip of your server>:631/<printername> does not find printer18:38
drag0niusyeh, missed /printers/ in the middle :)18:39

Jordan_Ujeremiah__: What tool did you use to "format" it? You can solve this problem by just using GParted to put a proper partition table and filesystem on it, but I'm curious how you got to this point.19:15

hggghffghhi, i have a printer issue. can anyone help me?19:17

jeremiah__Jordan_U,  interestingly, it worked before format, but useless sinse full19:17
bazhanghggghffgh, whats the printer name and model19:17
Jordan_Ujeremiah__: OK. It sounds like your BIOS simply wrote zeroes to the entire drive then. You'll need to create a partition table, then create a partition with a filesystem. Again, I recommend using GParted for this.19:17

Since the drive was in use, fdisk was not able to overwrite the partition table and so nothing actually happened (I think, I will ask you to run some commands to confirm that that's the case).19:24

fidelpatie: why is your apache in /opt ? seems like you are not using the defailt method to install at least apache on a ubuntu system19:29
Jordan_Ujeremiah__: I was wrong, your partition table has been wiped. You can recover your partition table with a tool called "testdisk".19:30
jeremiah__Jordan_U,  ok, how???19:30
patiefidel: im new in ubuntu i migrate from windows about 3 months back :))19:30
Jordan_Ujeremiah__: I'll walk you through it.19:30
ikoniafidel: that doesn't explain why apache is in /opt19:30
jeremiah__Jordan_U,  please...19:30
ikoniaoops patie I mean19:30
patieikonia: because i install it in opt/19:31
ikoniapatie: how19:31
ikoniapatie: the ubuntu packages don't install to opt19:31
fidelpatie: i am not going into that in detail - sorry (out of time) ...but apache should be usualy in /etc/apache - finding at in /opt sounds like you are using an unusual method. not sure how that helps - but on a first impression i would look for another guide/tutorial19:31
Jordan_Ujeremiah__: First, run "sudo apt-get install testdisk".19:31
patieikonia: im wizard.. :) no im joking http://bitnami.org/stack/lampstack19:31
fidelhehe bitnami is a totaly other story19:32
patiefidel: problem ? :)19:32
ikoniapatie: that is not a good application to use19:32
fidelbut its still not the way "you should do it in theory"19:32
jeremiah__Jordan_U,  ok, wait a moment...19:32
ikoniapatie: the lamp stack are available from within ubuntu's own packages19:32
ikoniapatie: these are external / 3rd party packages that are "generic" rather than built for ubuntu19:33
fidelbitname is somehow focused on getting it to work without messing around - which might be nice asstarter ...but gets ugly on a long time view19:33
patieikonia: so backup databse/htdocs ... remove bitnami stack and install lamp from packages ?19:33
ikoniapatie: that sounds a good idea19:33

ikonia!lamp | patie19:51
ubottupatie: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)19:51
ikoniapatie: check out that info19:51
AlanBellohptlabs: git and CVS are both version control systems, git is newer and quite popular. Ubuntu projects use bzr on Launchpad19:51
patieikonia: thanks19:51
ryan__ohptlabs: if you approach git as a 'better cvs' you will be screwed up19:51
ikoniapatie: sorry about that, wasn't watching19:51
fidelohptlabs: git is a versioning system - born/developed at start mainly for kernel-devlopment. its heavily used nowadays - similar to other techs like svn etc - i bet the wiki article will offer much more details19:51
uwHi i was on here a week ago asking about why loading flash videos (and all flash stuff) was so slow.  running LTS 10.04 and my video card is raedon HD435019:52
ohptlabsryan__ no ive just been using linux for 15 years now, but dont always stay current with what is going on development wise. im just trying to get this wireless adapter to work now that upgraded lubuntu from 11.10 to 12.0419:52
Jordan_Ujeremiah__: The slightly bad news is that while testdisk has found all your partitions, it's planning to number them slightly differently, and it's planning to make them all primary partitions. I do *not* think this will cause problems, but it is a change you should be aware of in case anything does go wrong.19:53
ohptlabsand thank you alen and fidel19:53
=== Moodran is now known as Adran
jeremiah__Jordan_U, so, in simpler terms, what did it do?19:53
ryan__ohptlabs: well git is kind of 'the' new soource control system. the other ones liek bzr and hg are not nearly as popular. mostly due to github19:54
ryan__so ubuntu 12.04, X crashes every time i exit my x-session/window manager19:54
Jordan_Ujeremiah__: It hasn't changed anything yet, but it looked through your disk and found the filesystems there (which exist, even though your partition table currently says you have no partitions). If you select "Write" (which is what you should do next), it will write a partition table which has partitions for all of your filesystems.19:55
Jordan_Ujeremiah__: Select "Write".19:55
jeremiah__Jordan_U,  Write partition table, confirm ? (Y/N)19:56
Jordan_Ujeremiah__: Y19:56
jeremiah__Jordan_U, You will have to reboot for the change to take effect.19:56
jeremiah__ (ok)19:56
jeremiah__reboot now, i guess?19:57
Jordan_Ujeremiah__: Good, now quit testdisk and run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda". Then (if that reports no errors), reboot.19:57
jeremiah__Jordan_U, just close term, or hit enter?19:57
Jordan_Ujeremiah__: You should now be at a menu with a "Quit" option (if not, post another screenshot).19:58

ZyewniDepends what you want to put in it20:07
Kartagisjeremiah: ntfs would be useful20:08
jeremiahum, files, vids, pictures, etc.20:08
Zyewnijeremiah: ext4 is what linux uses, but windows can't access it. If you want windows to be able to access it, NTFS is the best choice20:08
Kartagisjeremiah: if you are going to use it on a windows as well, definitely ntfs20:08
=== Bandit is now known as Bandit26
jeremiahok...20:09
Kartagislinux uses ext4, among a few other20:09
jeremiahthat was my main question.20:09
Zyewnijeremiah: there are some differences, but really you should be fine with either EXT or NTFS. If you want to access the partition from Windows though, you MUST use NTFS20:09
jeremiahok.20:09
jeremiahso, after i made a new one, do i just close it?20:10
Kartagisclose what? the program? no, you apply changes20:10
ZyewniJeremiah: After you're finished partitioning? Yes. Just close it down (don't forget to hit Apply though)20:10
ZyewniHit Apply and let it finish before closing. Once it's finished, close gparted and enjoy your HD20:11

lloowenHello all. Is it possible to set up an NFS client/server scenario with ldap authentication? Samba and ldap work well together. Is there an NFS/ldap solution? I'm googling around and not finding anything. I would be grateful if anyone could point me to a good how to , tutorial or documentation on how to set this up.21:08
bekkslloowen: There is no nfs/ldap integration.21:09
utrz[1370351.712866] what is the number after the dot ?21:09
OPPlutosounds like something that Sun would cook up nfs+ldap21:09
hopeless8009OerHeks, I rebooted and ran that command and it told me to run sudo dpkg --configure -a21:09
bekksutrz: The fraction of a second.21:09
ignitionnightYeah cause after the dropbox install crashed the software center locked up and I couldn't even use the apt-get command in term... you helped me unlock it then a term command to purge dropbox cleared it out21:09
dannyI have a fresh install of 12.04 Desktop (32-bit) and am having two issues I could use some help with. First, and this is minor: Is there a way to keep the Unity Launcher on top?

(It flies out but is partially covered at the bottom by the panel) Secondly, and more importantly: I am having trou21:09

OerHekshopeless8009, yes, now check if sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade works normal21:12
iHarpWhat is the difference in running something as root@host and user@host with sudo commands?21:13
iHarpisn't it the same thing?21:13
hopeless8009OerHeks, the command i ran last is hanging at 99%21:13
MonkeyDustiHarp  sudo is only temporarily21:13
MonkeyDustiHarp  root is less safe than sudo21:13
iHarpbut doesn't the "temp" use of sudo still run something as root?21:14
k1lutrz: the dmesg is not to tell you how long your pc is running. use "uptime" instead21:14
MonkeyDustiHarp  yes, but with sudo you can control *what* runs as root21:15
dannyOPPluto: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1061573/21:16
iHarpso a SU is a user with Root privs? And instead of everything running as Root, it is only the called command?21:16
utrzuptime is an other solution sure21:16
utrzbut i would like to check dmesg21:16
bekksutrz: No. "uptime" is THE solution to see how long your box is running already.21:16
jrdnniHarp SU makes the current terminal root until exit. sudo just makes the command right after it root21:16
iHarpok. thanks21:17
utrz[1370351.712866]21:17
utrzwith your method21:17
bekksutrz: dmesg is the command that shows you debug messages and their timestamps.21:17
MonkeyDustiHarp  mind: su is switch user, not super user21:17
maxagazeach time I boot my computer, it's asking for my authentication password to use the wifi, how to change this behaviour ?21:17
iHarpMonkeyDust: ok I din't know that21:17

utrzwell in which date i had this debg ? [1370351.712866]21:18
bekksutrz: We dont know it, you have to calculate it.21:18
utrzi don't understnd the notion of fraction21:18
bekksutrz: Date of booting (now - uptime) plus 1370351 seconds.21:18
bekks0.125 is 1/8 second.21:19
iHarpso why does typing su as root take me from ~/    to     /home/user?21:19
iHarp*Just trying to make since of a few things*21:19
ikoniaiHarp: because you are not sourcing roots environment. 1.) you should not be root 2.) you should not be doing "su" as root, you are already root21:20
iHarpsense*21:20
ikoniaiHarp: ubuntu is built around the sudo model, you should be using it21:20
utrzuptime  give me this :  23:12:41 up 60 days, 10:43,  1 user,  load average: 0.01, 0.09, 0.0921:20
iHarpI only use root for changing user privs. I always use sudo for the most part21:20
ikoniaiHarp: there is no need for "root" for that21:21
bekksutrz: typing "date" will tell you the current time. This time minus the time given by uptime tells you when your computer was booted.21:21

Loungeignitionnight: what partition is your windows on?22:14
ignitionnightits the main partition, I installed ubuntu on the side22:15
ignitionnightI can get it mounted really easy by opening nautilus and clicking it, but until I do that my rhythmbox can't find my music because the drive isn't mounted22:16
Loungeignitionnight: you can find your ntfs partitions by typing sudo blkid22:16
ignitionnightim reading the fstab site22:16

ignitionnight"/media/900 gig filesystem"22:19
ignitionnightI hope that's what you meant haha22:19
ignitionnightI'm pretty noobish on ubuntu22:19
Loungeignitionnight: it'd be better for the sake of simplicity to make a directory like; mkdir ~/MsWin and then..22:20
Lounge/dev/hda2 /home/[user]/MsWin  ntfs defaults 0 022:21
Loungechange [user] to your actual user name22:21
Loungeand add it to your /etc/fstab22:21
harovalihow can I add a launcher to the menu bar in unity in ubuntu 12.04 ?22:22
zykotick9Lounge: hda2? that's an odd/old suggestion22:22
Lounge/dev/sda222:22
Loungesory about that22:22
Loungebut then again you can alway sudo mkdir /media/MsWin and add that instead22:22

ubottuTweak: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter23:33
TweakActionParsnip: thank you23:34

battlehandsguys, I need some serious help with my terminal usage.  I opened gedit with my terminal, and when I try to run my python program, which I wrote in the text editor, then nothing else in my terminal works.23:34
battlehandsHow do I get my default terminal command line back without closing it, which will then kill the text editor?23:35
sacarlsonbattlehands: yourcommand&23:35
OerHeksbattlehands, add '& ' to the command ussually works23:35
battlehandslet me try that23:36
OerHeksspace + &23:36
battlehandsStill not default command line.23:36

AndChat|502\quit23:36
battlehandsAnd if I try to reopen a new terminal, it closes the program that I used terminal to open.23:36
AndChat|502\wc23:36
ActionParsnipbattlehands: of press CTRL+Z and then type:  bg   and hit ENTER23:37
battlehandsActionParsnip, that did some crazy stuff23:37
ActionParsnipbattlehands: works though :)23:38
battlehandswell23:38
battlehandshang on23:38
TweakActionParsnip: the only issue with that is that im using the windows bootloader (just tried installing ubuntu with the windows installer) so i do not have grub23:38
battlehandsActionParsnip, it did work.23:39
battlehandsActionParsnip, thank you.23:39
ActionParsnipTweak: I believe if you highlight Ubuntu in the first menu and press E yu can edit the boot23:39
sacarlsonbattlehands: after your app starts you might have to hit return to again see a command prompt in a term23:39
ActionParsnipbattlehands: np, in future, add an ampersand to the command and it will happen automagically :)23:39
battlehandssacarlson, okay, Ill try that23:39
battlehandsActionParsnip,  very good23:40
brontosaurusrexActionParsnip, yes, i figured it23:40
ActionParsnipbrontosaurusrex: awesome23:40
brontosaurusrexi thought so as well :)23:40
battlehandsAnother question:  My text editor is greyed out, and when I alt tab to access it, I cannot.23:41
TweakActionParsnip: hm ok, i see a lot of different things on that page.. i am sorry but i am not sure which to add?23:41
usr13battlehands: What file are you editing?  (With what editor?)23:42
battlehandsusr13, I am editing a simple, 20 line python program using gedit23:42
Seven_Six_Twotrying to share /var/www and /var/lib/mysql with ubuntu one. I moved them to a shared dir in my home and added links to original location. Updated Apparmor and restarted. Everything works fine in new location. Shared dir with Ubuntu One. On laptop, did exact same thing (both comps are ubuntu 12.04, fully updated. Usernames are the same. Locations of shared dir are the same.) Mysql won't start on laptop, terminated with status 123:42
Seven_Six_Two, syslog says operation="profile-replace".23:42
ActionParsnipTweak: add it on the same line as:  quiet splash23:42
OerHeksbattlehands, if you run that file, and edit it at the same time ..23:42
battlehandsOerHeks, then things get divided by zero?23:44
