[00:00] MKill: "Windows Boot Manager"? [00:01] usr13: when I reboot my machine after finishing step 2 that comes up [00:02] MKill: I'm not sure what that is. I've never seen that screen, and it certainly doesn't look like grub. [00:03] MKill: Did you have a standard Ubuntu install? Or is it wubi ? [00:03] usr13, Is there a screenshot? Could I look at it? [00:03] WUBI [00:03] https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/gc4yh6bNOzZtPKNubQuo3oy-SMGVuH9iUUbrF2lD3W0?feat=directlink [00:03] MKill: do you have a windows install disk, looks like the mbr was corupted when it tried to put the loader entry in the windows 7.. [00:03] what is the ssh password for localhost? [00:03] https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/gc4yh6bNOzZtPKNubQuo3oy-SMGVuH9iUUbrF2lD3W0?feat=directlink here is a picture [00:04] the thing is I can boot windows just fine [00:04] It' [00:04] okay f-prot antivirus vs bit defender for ubuntu 12.04 amd64 which one should i go with for solid security without too big a drop in performance [00:04] MKill: And you were trying to install what now? [00:04] It's not GRUB. That's the Windows Boot Loader [00:04] * alchemist9 gives up on windows [00:05] * runs screaming away from windows NO NO NO NEVER AGAIN [00:05] so i have dual video cards and trip monitors, any config tipz? [00:05] Im aware its not grub, im trying to figure out why its not wanting to finish the wubi instalation [00:05] MKill, Windows doesn't play well with ANTHING ELSE [00:06] MKill, Which is why Wubi works okay, some of the time... [00:06] this im aware of... i never had probled with wubi untill I got my new asus machines [00:06] MKill, You would be much better off installing Ubuntu and using Virtualbox to run Windows inside of. [00:06] could it have something to do with uefi? [00:06] windows doesn't like people poking it [00:07] MKill: I recommend a standard ubuntu install. (And I see little or no need for wubi - far as I can tell, it is more trouble than it's worth.) [00:07] MKill, It's possible uefi had something to do with it. [00:07] * alchemist9 poked windows kissed hard drive goodbye... [00:07] fishbait: are you running an email server or file server with windows clients? [00:07] MKill, I hadn't heard of that until now... but looking at it I can see that UEFI is a BIOS replacement. [00:08] I would just do a full install however there are quite a few tings I need windows for unfortunatly. [00:08] ActionParsnip: no just wanna be cautious i mean linux viruses do exist ya know [00:08] MKill: So what is wrong with a dual boot? [00:08] fishbait: true, but only ini labs [00:08] Cypher-neo, it is a replacement but I discovered the Ubuntu install disk when booted with uefi it doesnt want to install [00:09] fishbait: I'd run clamav if I had to but it's not needed [00:09] MKill: I recommend adding another HD to install Ubuntu on. [00:09] MKill, From what I'm finding wubi doesn't work with uefi. [00:09] fishbait: Linux viruses? [00:09] MKill, It needs to be a standard bios, not a bios replacement [00:10] usr13: viruses designed for linux [00:10] !av [00:10] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [00:10] fishbait: Yea, right. Ok. Your time can be better spent on something else. I assure you. [00:10] alright... thanks yall. Now to fight to get the dual boot working [00:11] MKill, Make sure you install Windows first and Ubuntu last so that the computer uses the Ubuntu bootloader. [00:11] MKill, Then make sure you disable updates on the Windows partition so that Windows can't reinstall it's bootloader and screw everything up [00:11] fishbait: Someone somewhere has given you some false info. Move on... [00:11] while linux may be hardened against viruses no system is ever 100% secure. its a good position to have [00:11] MKill, Or, better yet, install Ubuntu on the whole drive and use Virtualbox to run Windows [00:12] MKill, This is the safest option! [00:12] MKill, And the most reliable [00:12] Cypher if i didnt need windows for graphic intensive things I would. already converted my laptop [00:12] fishbait: Antivirus is something you don't need. [00:12] mkill: use grub as the boot loader and let it load the windows boot loader [00:12] even nothing 100% secure, linux was more secure and [00:13] usr13: ... this debate is as old as time and off-topic ima end it here. [00:14] good idea [00:16] Hello === Minecrafter is now known as StormTrooper [00:16] MKill: From the error message, it looks like the only error is that the Wubi entry is not able to load. I would recommend uninstalling Wubi and instead doing a normal dual boot install. [00:16] Anyone feel like lending a helping hand? [00:17] what partions do I need to make durring the instalation [00:17] MKill: The installer will make the partitions automatically if you choose automatic partitioning. [00:17] alright [00:19] Anone here know what would cause a computer to want to boot in low-graphics mode, then refuse to boot at all? [00:19] NR_Evan_: Where does it fail? [00:19] NR_Evan_: what's the version you are using? [00:19] should my resolv.conf have my name server set to 127.0.0.1? [00:19] 12.04 LTS [00:20] NR_Evan_: Fully updated? [00:20] Updated last.... friday I believe? [00:20] steve973: only if you are running bind9 on your local machine [00:20] NR_Evan_: Where does it fail? [00:20] NR_Evan_: so it has been working fine until that last event? [00:20] NR_Evan_: What do you see on the screen when it fails to boot? [00:21] It boots, then pops up with a prompt to run in low graphis mode, refusing mouse imput [00:21] Aaaaaaaand then I'm stuck [00:21] NR_Evan_: What does the screen look like? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [00:22] usr13: Hold on a second [00:22] haz3lnut, bind is not a service in /etc/init.d so why does my resolv.conf say that? [00:23] haz3lnut, it is actually resolving things somehow, but i am having some intermittent issues so i am trying to figure it out [00:23] steve973: Your resolv.conf should have your router's IP [00:23] steve973: nameserver 192.168.1.1 [00:23] steve973: you got a router? [00:23] usr13, haz3lnut, the box is connected directly to the cable modem which is handing out a 10.x ip addrss [00:24] steve973: It should also hand out a nameserver IP [00:24] steve973: ubuntu 12.04 ? [00:24] usr13: as I said before it would start to boot, then throw up that the "System is runing in low-graphics mode; Your screen, graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself" [00:24] steve973: If it doesn't, then you need to fix your cable modem's configuration so that it does. [00:24] usr13, maybe that's it... [00:25] NR_Evan_: What is your display adapter? Video card? ( lspci | grep VGA ) [00:25] yeah 12.04 [00:25] Can I play DOTA on ubuntu with virtualbox? [00:25] steve973: my suspicion tells me a 10.x... address is not correct [00:26] NR_Evan_: i've got that same issue with my i915 GPU on 12.04 lately, which GPU doe you have there? [00:26] usr13: Well we've got VGA, working off on old donated Dell so all we've got is built in [00:27] steve973: unplug the cable modem for about 30 seconds and replug it. [00:27] tomreyn: Built into an old model, can't tell at the moment [00:27] NR_Evan_: as what usr13 has said, open your terminal and type lspci, check if it's still working [00:27] how do i delete locked files? [00:27] steve973: you should get a prober ip address and all modem lights should be on. [00:27] it says i dont have permission :c [00:27] NR_Evan_: if you have access to the system, run the command usr13 provided and you'll know: lspci | grep VGA [00:27] the cable modem is handing out addresses in the 10.0.0.x range. [00:28] it is configured to do so. it's a comcast cable modem and wireless router [00:28] Jagst3r15: sudo rm mulockedfile.txt or whatever [00:28] steve973: So, you are connected to the router? [00:28] tomreyn: It's currently "checking battery state..." [00:28] k let me try [00:28] usr13, yes [00:28] NR_Evan_: so now, you can't boot at all? or is it just the boot option that you still can see? [00:28] wired though [00:29] steve973: Is the router's WAN port connected to the cable modem? [00:29] usr13, the cable modem is the router. it's a combo device [00:29] is there an ubuntu 12.04 LTS DVD somewhere I can download with more packages? [00:29] quixotedon: I can boot, then it gives me a graphics error and asks me if I want to run in low graphics mode, along with other options [00:29] codepython777: yes, sure.. [00:29] Can't reach the terminal at the moment [00:29] steve973: Oh. Ok. So is the PC you are working on connected to one of the LAN ports? [00:30] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/ubuntu-12.04-dvd-amd64.iso -- amm downloading now, thanks quixotedon [00:30] NR_Evan_: now when it runs in low graphic mode, can you still access all the app? [00:30] Regardless of what we click we get "Checking battery state... [ OK ]" in a black screen [00:30] usr13, my ubuntu box is connected directly to one of the lag ports [00:30] codepython777: yes, i was about to get it for you.. :d [00:30] any faster places i can download this from, this one is too slow [00:30] lan ports [00:30] says 20 minutes - 1.6GB [00:30] quixotedon: It just won't run in low-graphics mode even if we tell it too [00:31] steve973: Ok so you have a wired connection to the cable-modem/router Ok good. [00:31] NR_Evan_: is this the first time you get this problem? [00:31] There's a boot CD onhand that we can use to get in [00:31] steve973: Try this: Open a terminal and type: sudo dhclient eth0 #And hit enter. [00:31] quixotedon: Yes [00:31] codepython777: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads [00:31] how to install flash player in ubuntu? [00:31] NR_Evan_: by the time the message with the recovery options shows you can hist ctrl-alt-F2 to switch to a terminal (and later Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get back to that screen) [00:32] RTNETLINK answers: FIle exists [00:32] ode7 [00:32] crazybrain: use the package manager. Install Adobe Flash PlayerPlugin [00:32] quixotedon: should i get 12.04 or 12.10? I want LTS server packages for sure [00:32] steve973: route -n #Tell us what it says. [00:32] when I suspend my ubuntu session and try to resume, I just get to a black screen... any help? [00:33] codepython777: i'm not sure you want to get something that's still unstable (12.10) unless you're a developer/expert user.. :) [00:33] NR_Evan_: on that terminal, you can logn, then run the "lspci | grep VGA" command [00:33] haz3lnut i have a "Sublime Text 2 [00:33] steve973: Just the last line.... [00:33] usr13, hang on, let me pastebin [00:33] oh ok [00:33] woops [00:33] "sublime text 2" folder in usr/lib and i cant delete it [00:33] steve973: route -n |pastebinit [00:33] how would i target that?

[00:36] 10.0.0.1 [00:36] steve973: Maybe you just need to power-cycle the modem/router [00:36] steve973: ifconfig eth0 #Tell us what IP you have [00:37] Okay! I've got this little software RAID-0 array I've set up with mdadm. I'd like to encrypt it (just that one filesystem on the one device). Is dm-crypt the name of the thing I should be looking at to accomplish this? [00:37] haz3lnut with the quotes? [00:37] usr13, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1061792/ [00:37] Jagst3r15: yes [00:37] quixote: We got into the terminal and typed lspci and got a response, what am I looking for? [00:38] NR_Evan_: what's the result? [00:38] tomreyn: I tried lspci, what am I looking for? [00:38] fennec: you don't encrypt a filesystem. you either use an encrypted filesystem, encrypted files/directories on a filesystem, or you encrypt the layer below the filesystem, i.e. the device. [00:38] fennec: dm-crypt/LUKS would do the latter [00:38] steve973: sudo ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.91 ; route add default gw 10.0.0.1 ; ping -c3 10.0.0.1 #Let us know if it pings. [00:39] NR_Evan_: any line which contains "VGA" (without the quotes) [00:39] steve973: sudo ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.91 ; sudo route add default gw 10.0.0.1 ; ping -c3 10.0.0.1 #Let us know if it pings. [00:39] usr13, that will disconnect me, no? [00:39] steve973: I don't know [00:39] NR_Evan_: example: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Radeon X1650 XT (Primary) (PCIE) [00:39] steve973: Ok try this: [00:40] usr13, everything is routing through eth0 on my network [00:40] Hold on a second [00:40] tomreyn - your pedantry is appreciated. :) and the thing to manipulate dm-crypt and LUKS is called cryptsetup? :) [00:40] steve973: sudo route add default gw 10.0.0.1 [00:40] steve973: See what that does ^^^^^ [00:40] hello everyone [00:41] is anyone here? [00:41] lol [00:41] just 1567 people [00:41] steve973: See my PM [00:41] Kiziaru: if you have question, just type it anyway.. :d [00:41] quixote:"Intel Corporation 82845G/GL/Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)" [00:41] NR_Evan_: ok, so that's onboard graphic [00:41] fennec: yes, you could do it with dm-crypt directly but that's no fun. so cryptsetup is the tool to use. note, though, that you cannot just add that layer below an existing filesystem, so you'll need to backup the filesystem, add the crypto layer, and return the file system on top of that. [00:41] well I have an integrated graphics problem [00:42] and i dont want to interrupt anyone here [00:42] yeah, the filesystem doesn't have anything in it yet. it exists in the mysterious future. thanks! think I can get it from here :) [00:42] Kiziaru: what's the problem anyway? [00:42] when I go to system settings > details [00:42] it says driver unknown [00:42] haz3lnut thanks so much it worked :) [00:42] fennec: okay. in case it turns out to be more complicated than expected: the alternative installer can set up the encryption layer for you. [00:43] experience standard [00:43] Jagst3r15: glad to hear it. [00:43] and along with the fact that youtube videos are excruciatinly slow to load [00:43] Jagst3r15: hope we didn't F your system :-) [00:43] quixotedon: guess so, got any advice? [00:43] nope, this file was broken anyway [00:44] folder rather [00:44] and idling causes like a 50 percent load === Afteraffekt is now known as Afterraff` [00:44] NR_Evan_: a moment please [00:44] im guessing this PC doesnt recognize my onboard graphics [00:45] how do i talk directly to quixotedon anyways? [00:46] How do I determine what module my mouse is using? [00:46] tomreyn - i'm sure it could, if I weren't trying to script it all out for a snazzy little cluster :P anywho. later [00:47] Sna4x81: lsmod | grep mouse [00:47] Kiziaru: type "/msg quixotedon blabla" (without quotation marks, /msg is for private message, quixotedon is for username, blabla is the message); anyway when someone sends you a private message, it appears as a tab, click that tab and you can chat directly [00:47] haz3lnut: Thanks. I tried that but I get nothing. [00:47] Is it maybe usbhid? [00:48] From lsusb: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:c50e Logitech, Inc. Cordless Mouse Receiver [00:51] someone knows about stunnel/openssl ? I'm trying to follow http://mgile.com/post/4729505823/django-stunnel , but when doing a request from my browser, I get http://sprunge.us/KRIA?stunnel. I have no idea how to fix that Peer suddenl disconnected issue. (btw, if you know a openssl irc channel, let me know, couldn't find it) [00:51] NR_Evan_: type jockey-gtk on terminal [00:52] Sna4x81: you can use "modprobe -l | grep mouse" to get a list of all mouse drivers [00:52] quixotedon: Then? I've got my selector flashing in an odd pattern [00:53] Sna4x81: then search the lsmod list to find one of those? [00:53] Hrm. lsmod doesn't show any of those loaded. [00:53] My mouse is working. [00:53] Killer [00:54] NR_Evan_: try this one "sudo add-apt repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates" (without quotes) [00:54] Just unplugged it and plugged it back in. dmesg |grep -i mouse shows this: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Logitech USB RECEIVER] on usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.2/input0 === BaconAttack__ is now known as BaconAttack_ [00:55] quixotedon: After entering jockey I'm nolonger getting my "username@computername:" before what I enter [00:56] Sna4x81: if it's working, do you really need to know which module it's using? [00:56] so it didn't seem to hink I typed anything in [00:57] haz3lnut: Yes. I'm having this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/958174?comments=all [00:57] Launchpad bug 958174 in Ubuntu "Wireless Mouse not registered on Startup or Reboot " [Undecided,Confirmed] === Daiton is now known as Daiton|Away [00:57] NR_Evan_: this is what i found for you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1943652 [00:57] I have to unplug and plug back in my mouse every time I reboot.

What's up? [00:59] ActionParsnip: Nope, but it's not loaded currently. I can reboot and see if loading it works. [00:59] Wouldn't the correct module get loaded after unplugging and pluggin it back in though (since that makes the mouse work)? [00:59] NR_Evan_: ractually you just have to type the repository ppa to add the latest driver for your graphic card [00:59] I have java installed on my system but my browser says you need java for the application to run [00:59] What could be the issue [01:00] quixotedon: How do I know what that is?

[01:01] NR_Evan_: that's to add the latest driver for your graphic card [01:01] Hello, what is better for ubuntu, fat16 or fat32? [01:01] Sna4x81: you can always check the loaded modules, then do what you do then recheck [01:01] ActionParsnip: Yea, that's why I wanted to know how to figure out what module the mouse is using. I'll just write something that waits 10 seconds and reloads the module.

I'm switching from Arch Linux to Ubuntu, doing a command-line install. One thing that's been irritating me is that I can't find any information at all on how to manage upstart jobs.

[02:45] TiZ: you'll probably only find minimal documentation for upstart :( i don't think services is a high priority for ubuntu [02:45] boobah: This document doesn't really help me. All I want to do is disable networking and enable network-manager. In Arch's standard init system, it's easy as heck. Using systemd with Arch, it's even easier! I google around for info on how to do this, and I find many different ways, and no idea which one is right! === ztag100_ is now known as ztag100 [02:48] hilo: that's apport (automatic crash report generation) .. you can set it to not autostart in /etc/default/apport and start it manually after your startup sequence settles (if you want to keep auto crash reporting active after boot) .. or remove it altogether .. at least there's a few things you can try [02:48] TiZ: i use arch as my primary os :) [02:48] TiZ: not really sure how upstart works, sorry [02:48] Hey guys! Anyone familiar with Razor-qt? [02:54] boobah: I used to use Arch as my primary OS, but when something as simple as networkmanager-openconnect doesn't work for no discernible reason, and something seems to break every month (again for no discernible reason), you come to desire something that tends more to just work. [02:56] But now I install Ubuntu from a command-line install, thinking that things will just work, and I can't even figure out something as simple as disabling one service and enabling another!

Yet empathy for its Ubuntu integration :) [03:00] zykotick, green [03:00] boobah: Yeah, things just kinda... changed suddenly. I'm not sure when, but I came to notice my system wasn't as rock solid as it used to be. [03:01] I think I found the problem: that I need to take my ethernet interface out of /etc/network/interfaces. That should hopefully do it. [03:01] !polls | paopao [03:01] boobah: Thank you for your help. I'mma bounce now. Gotta reboot and make sure it works.

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [03:01] br5andon, I would try pidgin [03:03] Am going to install Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS (Dapper Drake) [03:03] well, it's not poll, just say something about your feelings using empathy or pidgin, you are just so sensitive about poll [03:04] paopao: it's a waste of time - what's good for one person, is not good for everyone. try them both - decide for yourself. [03:05] zykotick9, I can judge from what they say and come to my own conclusion, but i'm not here to argue with you.

[03:11] You need to edit the policykit and in the xml format change the no to yes [03:13] ok, well actually turns out my swap is smaller than my ram (though i never have 8GB working set so thats never caused a problem), does policykit actually check that also?

[04:53] usr13: I think something got messed up when I did do-release-upgrade for two versions in a row but I can't tell what happened. [04:54] So, in running the latest ubuntu, how tricky is it to install XFCE and have it work well? [04:54] steve973: But you knew that already. You know darn well what information needs to be passed to clients. [04:55] wabash, sudo apt-get install xfce [04:55] the clients have the proper information. The server does not, and there lies the problem ;) [04:55] cpyarger: are you working with it? [04:55] wabash: install xfce4 or xubuntu-desktop, then select it from the login menu [04:55] steve973: Why don't you just connect the router to the cable-modem? [04:55] not at the moment but on my ibm i have it installed and it works great [04:55] zykotick9: cpyarger Will it remember it the next time I boot? [04:55] !info xfce | cpyarger close but it's xfce4 [04:55] cpyarger close but it's xfce4: Package xfce does not exist in precise [04:55] BTW, what's the make and model of the router? [04:55] usr13: because I want the server in between. [04:56] cpyarger: excellent. thank you. Did you have to also install synaptic? Or do you do all command line? [04:56] why? [04:56] because you like to complicate things? [04:56] my apolagies i normally use tab completion in the command line === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [04:56] What's the make and model of the router? [04:57] cpyarger: For getting the wrong nick? Or are you just talking about the package name? [04:57] usr13: because of added security and so that I can have an internet-facing server to expose services on. [04:58] What's the make and model of the router? [04:58] i had this running this way for a few years but something got messed up and I'm not sure what changed. [04:58] package name [04:58] arris tc862 [04:59] hey to make the wifi get more signal power what i gotta do in iwconfig ? [04:59] Is that possible? [04:59] is there a program to check who has modified a file and at what time? [05:01] arris tc862? Is that the cable modem? [05:01] it's a cable modem, telephony modem, and a wireless router all in one. [05:01] unfortunately. [05:02] That's not what I asked. I asked about the router. What is the make / model of the router. [05:02] this issue has nothing to do with my router [05:02] steve973: Or is it just a switch? [05:02] the problem is contained within my linux server, usr13 [05:03] steve973: You said that the server had one NIC connected to the cable-modem/wifi-router and the other nic was connected to a router, (wired router? or...?) [05:03] steve973: So which is it? A switch or router? [05:04] it is a router but there's no problem with that part. [05:04] What is the make and model of the router? [05:05] it's a dlink but there's no problem with it. [05:05] steve973: dlink what? [05:05] why does that matter? the problem is with resolv.conf or with an incomplete install of network manager [05:06] steve973: If you have the inside NIC connected to the WAN port of the router and the router is giving clients incomplete IP information, HOW IS IT NOT THE ROUTER? [05:08] usr13: because the linux server itself has trouble resolving names unless I add a nameserver to resolv.conf [05:08] steve973: If you want to fix your problem, log into your dlink router and fix it. [05:09] steve973: The Linux server does not need to resolve domain names. [05:09] usr13: ok, but that's not the problem. as i said a few times, this same setup has worked for about three years for me. I did two release upgrades in a row and then had problems. [05:09] the release upgrades did not have anything to do with the dlink ;) [05:09] Steve973: are you running a dhcp server on the router? [05:09] steve973: You are not going to fix the problem if you can't even listen to anyone when they try to help you. [05:10] Ghosthunter007: no, I let the router handle the addresses for that subnet. [05:11] Steve973: generally eth0 is your WAN to your modem/router from ISP then you run DHCP server for your eth1 then you can set your IPTABLES with the dnat masq [05:11] usr13: no disrespect intended, but if i try to ping named addresses via the terminal and it times out, then that has nothing to do with the dlink. [05:11] named addresses via a terminal to the linux server, rather. [05:12] Ghosthunter007: I used to do it that way, but then I began to just allow the router to handle the dhcp for its subnet. [05:12] Hi all. 12.04 vanilla install. When I visit certain sites in chrome, ie mlb.com or yahoo.com.tw, my webcam light flickers on every 5 seconds or so. Anyone know why? [05:12] Hey folks. [05:13] steve973 Yes, you need a nameserver in your resolv.conf file. Now you can manually put one in there or you can have your router do it. It's up to you. I already told you that. [05:13] Does anyone know how to clear results from Dash Home? I'll be danged if I can find anything. [05:13] Any one here knows how to tweak iwconfig to make the signal stronger ? Do i have to set a higher txpower ? [05:13] ... anything on how to clear it. [05:13] ChrisZeroUm: Are you sure that's your problem? [05:13] howcome dragging a file over running app icon in unity launcher doesn't bring the app into foreground? [05:14] usr13: the cable modem handling the dhcp request should provide that information. If I hook up my laptop directly to the cable modem, i get nameserver info. the linux box is not getting that info! [05:14] yep [05:14] Steve973: then you will need a iptables rule to allow 53 tcp and 67 icmp through [05:14] in windows i used intel wifi config program and i could boost some stuff like power to make the signal stronger and linux does not have the app [05:14] Strategos: have you seen http://askubuntu.com/questions/86544/delete-entire-history-of-the-dash [05:14] Ghosthunter007: i have 53 but not 67 [05:14] steve973: You are as thick as a brick [05:14] my wifi here is 60% and with windows i had 90 to 100 % [05:15] usr13: are you sure?> [05:15] usr13: you aren't paying attention [05:15] Zykotick9: Thanks, I hadn't found that in my results. [05:15] It's appreciated. :) [05:15] usr13: situation 1: I hook up the macbook to the router and i get nameserver info in resolv.conf [05:15] steve973: Put nameserver 8.8.8.8 in your resolv.conf and see if it doesnt' resolve domain names for you. [05:16] usr13: situation 2: i hook up the linux server to the router and i don't get any nameserver info in resolv.conf [05:16] usr13: now you tell me that's a router configuration error. [05:16] what file i can edit with gedit to tweak wifi config ? [05:16] usr13: of course it does. [05:16] usr13: already had him echo > nameserver 8.8.8.8 /etc/resolv.conf [05:16] can anyone help me mount a ISW raid array in ubuntu 12.04 please [05:16] steve973: #1) You need the router inbetween your server and the cable-modem [05:16] usr13: that's not the issue. why does the macbook get nameserver info, but the linux server does not?! [05:16] I had an existing in /home which i was using that in k desktop e and now i have installed ubuntu and tried to use that account in ubuntu too, but now i see that alsa mixer in unity panel doesn't work. It says there is no sound card available, but i can play music without any problem and also alsa mixer in terminal works. [05:17] usr13: that's totally, completely untrue. [05:17] otherwise use a switch and run a dhcp server on the server. Simple as that. [05:17] usr13: it's one possible configuration, but not THE proper configuration. === Guddu is now known as Guest24011 [05:17] usr13: you neglect to acknowledge that this very same setup worked for years until an upgrade where something got messed up. who is thick as a brick? [05:18] Steve973: and Usr12: I would install squid call it a day [05:18] steve973: Look, I've given you all the information you need to fix your network. Its up to you. [05:18] usr13: do you know what file i gotta change to boost tx power ? [05:18] usr13: thank you for your assistance. if you don't know why the linux server no longer gets nameserver info, you can say that you don't know why and leave it to Ghosthunter007 [05:19] ChrisZeroUm: iwconfig wlan0 txpower 30mW #or something to that effect. It depends on what your wifi device will do. [05:19] in light of 12.04 using dnsmasq and network-manager, i can see that I don't have a complete install of network-manager, so there might be problems there too. [05:19] !tab > Ghosthunter007 this might make your life easier [05:19] Ghosthunter007, please see my private message [05:20] tks, gonna check there [05:20] steve973: You don't need network-manager [05:20] usr13: http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ [05:20] actually i remoed network manager and placed the wicd [05:20] at least wifi stopped crashing [05:21] LLVM people found that the ubuntu g++ compiler was heavily patched and incorrect in many ways. Is the current version of ubuntu appropriate for software development? Anyone know of dev tool issues / customization gone bad? [05:22] Steve973: run this command sudo apt-get remove network-manager it is interfering [05:24] during installation,after I make menuconfig and load an config file...how do i do the next step "time make -j2"? [05:24] network manager was fucking my wifi, so i removed and placed wicd [05:24] ChrisZeroUm: You already told us that. [05:24] ChrisZeroUm, no cursing here [05:25] i was telling to steve, since he is having problems with network [05:25] at least here i could download an entire 3gb iso with no stops and good speed noe [05:25] now [05:26] during installation,after I "make menuconfig" and load an alternative config file...how do i do the next step "time make -j2" without it telling me that configuration file is not found? [05:27] shinta42: is it ubuntu or gentoo you are referring to? [05:28] zykotick9:woops wrong channel [05:28] thanks everyone. I might just try to reinstall so I don't have to figure out what configuration got messed up [05:28] kguys [05:29] Hi, I had a question about installing ubuntu from a live CD. When I go to reallocate my old filesystem (fills up my full HDD), there is no option to change the size: My only option is to format it. How would I shrink that partition? [05:29] I'm having issues with getting audio to work at all any ideas? Also it was working earlier today but isn't anymore [05:29] I'm trying to set a string with gsettings [05:29] Yamakiri: Well, you may have a swap partition mounted. What's on the HD currently? [05:29] zorg24: Any HDMI ports? [05:29] wat dis "set_string_property(*args, **kwargs) [05:29] Yamakiri: By the way, are you in japan? I've not heard HDD for a while! [05:29] niocora: yes there is an HDMI port, I'm not using it though [05:30] zorg24: Sound Settings says what is the output? [05:30] wabash, an old distro I was hoping to keep. How would I know if a swap partition was mounted? [05:30] And no, I'm from the east coast of America, 1:30AM here :p [05:30] Yamakiri: :) [05:30] Redwood HDMI Audio [05:30] Yamakiri: Well, from the install disk, I don't know. But you may wish to try a different approach: [05:31] zorg24: What should you be using as output? [05:31] Yamakiri: Boot into install disk, and select "try ubuntu" instead of install. Let it live boot. [05:31] zorg24, did you try external speakers [05:31] Yamakiri: Is that what you are doing already? [05:31] That's actually what I was doing right now wabash [05:31] yes haha [05:31] Yamakiri: Perfect then! [05:31] Yamakiri: Ok, next steps: [05:31] Yamakiri: are you trying to resize using gparted? [05:32] niocora: should it be Internal Audio? that's the only other option [05:32] Erm, is t hat the application that the install uses? [05:32] zorg24: Probably. [05:32] I can give it a try if you tell me how :) [05:32] Yamakiri: Oh, I see. you've live booted, and then while running live cd, hit the install to disk option? [05:32] Is that correct? [05:33] niocora: I switched it but still no sound [05:33] Well, if you don't mind quitting the installer and losing whatever config you've put in so far, I have something for you to try then, Yamakiri. [05:33] At first I directly chose to install, then got confused with the partitioning, and shut down. This time I'm in the live cd [05:33] Yamakiri: Ok, cool. [05:33] I haven't put anything into the install to disk area [05:33] zorg24: What are you using to check if sound is working? [05:33] Yamakiri: are you in the installation program still though? You may have to quit it. [05:34] No I'm not [05:34] the Test Speakers button [05:34] Yamakiri: Ok, then we are ready [05:34] niocora: oh and a video that's playing in the background [05:34] Yamakiri: Open a terminal. "swapon" is the command to work with. "man swapon" will tell you the options. [05:34] Yamakiri: in this case, "swapon -s" will give you the status [05:35] It says Filename/Type/Size/Used/Priority with nuthing under any of the columns [05:35] anyone had experience with mounting ISW raid array that could help please [05:35] Yamakiri: Live CD auto detects swap partitions and enables them. Unfortunately, an HDD with an enabled swap is locked from the dis resize tool! [05:35] Yamakiri: Ok, so then nothing is enabled. [05:35] Is that bad? [05:36] No, not at all. [05:36] It's just that when one is mounted, you can't alter the disk. [05:36] ahh === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [05:37] My suggestion is the following approach: 1) resize the disk partitions using gparted. Create a partition for your new install out of freespace, and write down the partition number! 2) install to that partition with the installer. [05:37] Yamakiri: What do you think of this idea/ [05:37] ? === dzup is now known as Mexicainvexed [05:37] zorg24: Desktop or Laptop? [05:37] That sounds excellent, how does one use gparted? === Mexicainvexed is now known as vexed [05:38] niocora: desktop [05:38] Yamakiri: It may be in the magic menu for the live cd. you can also just invoke from command line. [05:38] zorg24: Any possible loose connections? [05:38] Yamakiri: Of course, it has the potential to ruin your old system! [05:38] Yamakiri: But it's basically a partition-magic type program. [05:38] It says root privileges are required for running gparted... [05:38] I don't know how I'd have root privilege on a live CD... [05:39] niocora: already checked that [05:39] Yamakiri: Ok, well, do you know what you are doing? I don't want you to accidentally delete stuff you need! [05:39] Yamakiri: You just do "sudo gparted" [05:39] Yes I do [05:39] Yamakiri: Ok, cool. [05:39] o-oh... I figured there'd be a password required... [05:39] zorg24: Any dead HW? [05:39] Yamakiri: sudo gparted. That will get it in root priv. It will allow you to resize things. Though I don't 100% trust it with NTFS filesystems. [05:39] If you are ext2/3/4, you are perfect. [05:40] I right clicked on /dev/sda2, it has 464GB and is where the OS resides [05:40] niocora: no I tried different speakers [05:40] But "Move/Resize" is greyed out and unclickable [05:41] Yamakiri: a) are any of the partitions showing have a key icon near them b) is it the only partition? [05:41] zorg24: I don't know then. Sorry, I am not really a sound type person [05:41] niocora: ok thanks anyways === vexed is now known as SharpVexed [05:42] No, wabash, no key (But there IS a red exclamation mark next to one), and there are 2 partitions, /dev/sda1 is 512MB big but I'm confident my OS is on /dev/sda2 [05:42] howto secure ubuntu and firefox to prevent pc banking hacking? [05:42] Yamakiri: any info on the mouseover of the red !? [05:43] zorg24, install or go to your multimedia settings and disable HDMI [05:43] Nope no info === SharpVexed is now known as Vexed === Vexed is now known as SharpVexed [05:43] There is also no info under "Used" and "Unused", it also says "lvm" on the far right [05:43] Oh..... [05:44] But the other partition has used and unused... [05:44] It's beyond my knowledge maybe. I've not used LVM [05:44] I was wondering if there was a way to recklessly force it? [05:44] Yamakiri: Well, I'm not sure if gparted knows LVM. [05:44] Like just do it from the term and *force* the partition to shrink whether it'd like to or not [05:44] oh [05:44] Ghosthunter007: I disabled the hdmi still no sound though [05:44] PY [05:44] Perhaps google gparted and resizing LVM [05:44] what exactly is lvm? I'm a little noobish, sorry :/ [05:45] Logical volumes. [05:45] But I' haven't used them. [05:45] zorg24, have you upgraded your ALSA drivers [05:45] Ghosthunter007: no, I don't know how to do that either [05:47] is there a way to hash your password /user in an automated ftp script if so how do I achieve this? [05:48] paulus68, use sftp its all encrypted [05:48] Anyone know of a way to connect to a PS3 as an audio device? [05:49] Then output the computer's audio to the PS3 as if it were a headset? [05:49] It would require the computer to identify as an audio device so that the PS3 finds it while scanning, and then to output its audio via Bluetooth [05:49] Ghosthunter007: can I use this also through the commandline? [05:50] Howto secure ubuntu and firefox to prevent pc banking hacks? [05:50] What do you mean by "banking hacks"? [05:50] lotuspsychje: use private browsing in Firefox should be an option here [05:50] wabash: today in the news in my country: 800 attacks pc banking online, illegal money transfers [05:50] lotuspsychje: Which country? [05:51] Belgium [05:51] wabash:.be [05:51] lotuspsychje: Wow. [05:51] lotuspsychje: Well, noscript is a good place to start too, with FF. [05:51] wabash:per day 800 [05:51] !ot [05:51] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [05:51] lotuspsychje: You should also try #firefox for security questions. [05:51] bkerensa:we discuss ubuntu security too [05:52] Indeed [05:52] wabash:would ubuntu be safe for exploits for these kinds of attacks? [05:53] lotuspsychje: In general, a *lot* safer than Windows. [05:53] paulus68:like in proxy browsing you mean? [05:53] lotuspsychje: I suspect many of the problems are from people opening email attachments, clicking links on porn sites and downloading exe's, etc. [05:53] lotuspsychje: It would be safer, but a lot will depend on the user, too. [05:54] wabash: if im not wrong, pc banking hacks use malicious banners and stuff [05:54] lotuspsychje: That is one attack vector, yes. [05:54] lotuspsychje: no under the menu extra you have start private browsing can be launched by using key combination ctrl+shift+p [05:54] wabash: any packages or browser secure for these kinds of attacks? [05:54] lotuspsychje: So, if you install noscript, and maybe adblock in FF, and use them appropriately, it mitigates a lot of risk. Again, up to the user though, they can still bypass and allow. [05:55] As for Ubuntu, I believe a lot of ubuntu is default deny config, is this correct everyone? [05:55] But I'd disable remote logins, have a good password. [05:55] And also keep up to date. [05:55] wabash: got precise all up to date :p [05:56] zorg24, here try this sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev [05:56] sudo apt-get update [05:56] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:56] wabash: but how sure are we if an updated system cant be intruded by new methods of injection to a brwoser? [05:56] *browser [05:57] lotuspsychje: It will depend on browser security, of course. But those too get updated. And a script blocker is very good too, as it secures against script attacks, [05:57] You still have to be smart in which scripts you allow. [05:57] wabash: yeah i used noscript in the past [05:58] And you should be smart about checking certificates to your bank and logging in with https only, etc. [05:58] Ghosthunter007: I did it but it didn't install anything [05:58] That's all I got. [05:58] lotuspsychje: #firefox might be a more appropriate channel to get support for securing your browser. [05:58] Yamakiri: Did you find any data? [05:58] Hey anyone know the command to redownload the default launcher icon launcher_bfb.png and put it in the folder? [05:58] bkerense: ok tnx [05:59] I changed the background color of my Unity and don't remember how to change it [05:59] I tried the commands to reset unity and the icons and it still uses the custom icon [05:59] it's bright pink :( [05:59] wabash: tnx for info mate [06:00] where can I just download the unity 5 png file? [06:00] I tried googling the file didn't find it [06:00] now this most likly not the place to ask. but as im using ubuntu ill give it a shot. i am installing on a blank ssd, though a usb drive. it gives me boot options. USB HDD,USB FDD, few others. witch one do i select to boot from. so far nothings working [06:00] lotuspsychje: Yes, good luck to you! [06:01] self, you would boot from usb to install [06:01] self, A good tool for creating bootable USB drives is unetbootn [06:02] can someone do me a favor and upload the launcher_bfb.png file from the usr/share/unity/5/ folder then pm me with a link [06:02] I can't find the icon via google :-( [06:02] ill try that unetbootn, it seams to get hung up regardless of witch i attempt to boot from.

If you powerdown after the session to clear your ram. [06:15] i want to add backtrack menu on fbpanel. [06:15] theres good security, then theres silly paranoia [06:16] dr_willis, silly paranoia in the age of cyberwarfare? [06:16] lotuspsychje, foolish to bank like that live CD doesnt have the harden security as an install does and encypting your drive [06:16] some app in fbpanel is not work well, like synaptic etc [06:16] angga: and why do you think editing a .so file will let you do this? [06:16] justntime: i agree with you new tricks are being invented daily [06:17] a live cd - may be more insecure. since its not going to be up to date as an insgtalled system can be [06:17] its not people trying to steal personal info...its viruses and cyber attacks [06:17] i dont know, [06:18] there is a way to edit .so file ?? decompile or disassemble tool for it ? [06:18] first we should investigate what the attackers use as method, to understand what to secure [06:18] justntime, all one needs to do is arp poison a starbucks network run several tools like driftnet or tcpdump to capture passwords and usernames === Lebby1 is now known as Lebbby [06:19] can we please move back from this discussion to support again?

For some reason, when I log into Xfce4 using LXDM, the gnome keyring doesn't get unlocked. The necessary line does appear to be in /etc/pam.d/lxdm, but for some reason, the keyring is never unlocked on login. What could I be missing? [06:20] TiZ: ive noticed that when using KDM also. [06:20] ghosthunter007:what ubuntu package could prevent arp poison? [06:20] ahoi [06:21] dr_willis: any possible solution? [06:21] lotuspsychje: do you have a specific support question? This channel is not intended for a "Live How-To" on security [06:21] TiZ: never really worried about it. i just enter my keyring password. or set the keyring to not need a password [06:22] some app is not work in systemmenu plugin in fbpanel, so i want to edit it and add some custome menu...

[08:36] i've tried several howtos to config. the broadcom [08:36] hi [08:36] firmware install and so on, but ... no wifi.:-( [08:36] subdesign: some android devices cant do the ad-hoc type wifi networking - i always just use a portable router. ;) [08:37] hi, I'm looking for libmemcached6 package for a ubuntu 11.04 [08:37] is there a ppa ? [08:37] Hi. Has someone experiences with UEFI? [08:37] dr_willis, i can connect to my wifi router, but don't know the exact way to connect to localhost [08:38] for some reason, my apache daemon doesn't seem to fire-up on start-up, instead I need to issue a command in terminal (sudo services apache2 start), after which everything works pretty much perfectly. I haven't a clue where to start troubleshooting this, any help, pointers, advice would be greatly appreciated. [08:38] connect to localhost? that dosent make a lot of sence... what are you trying to do exactly [08:38] dr_willis, test jquery mobile site [08:39] subdesign: test how... you got a server? you got a phone on the wireless network.. you wan tto ssh to the server? or what exactly? [08:40] dr_willis, i want to test a local developed site on real android phone, a quick way. so I dont want to upload every time to a server the source files.. [08:41] subdesign: so the phones browser just needs to access the test server? [08:41] yes [08:42] so... you fire up the phones browser and enter http://the.ip.of.the.server/ or am i missing some deeper issue here.. [08:42] thats what i want to do yes [08:44] subdesign, what's stopping you? :) [08:44] Hyperbyte, android sdk fails to install, stops after 3 hours.. dont know whats next.. [08:45] what does the sdk have to do with testing out the site via the phones browser/ [08:46] sorry, it was a second choice for testing .. [08:47] I can dd from a drive /dev/sdd to a .img? [08:47] Though will that make an image the size of the drive or the contents there? [08:47] Lartza: you can image a whole hard drove to a file with dd... yes... [08:47] the size of the whold hard drive... [08:48] Damn [08:48] Well then [08:48] its an exact clone [08:48] Not going to do that :) [08:48] 2GB of files 30B drive [08:48] *GB [08:48] Hello, how i can run, sudo echo "" > sql.log (getting bash: sql.log: Permission denied) [08:48] if you zero out the empty drive space. you can compress the image a great deal. or resize the filesystem then just image the s sda1 or whatgever partition [08:48] I'll just sudo cp -a the contents [08:49] emr: you need to use sudo tee in there i recall somehow since the redirection does not have sudo rights [08:49] Lartza, rsync. [08:49] dr_willis, thanks [08:49] emr: theres examples of such a line at the 'ubuntu root shell the right way' site. i always have to google for it to find the example [08:49] dobro utro [08:49] i know it is a lame question but what is the maximum storage capacity on ubuntu/kubuntu? [08:49] dr_willis, thank you very much [08:50] s [08:50] Hyperbyte, rsync -p ? This is a / so I need to preserve permissions but does that do it all? === ew is now known as kk1992 [08:50] StarryNight: more of a filesystem limitation and kernel limit. ;) not a ubuntu limit. [08:50] rsync -p = cp -a ? [08:50] StarryNight: ext4 is like... huge. :) id have to refer to the wiki page on ext4 its most likely listed there. [08:50] Lartza, man rsync. :-) You'll probably want rsync -a --delete, maybe --progress in there for your viewing pleasure. [08:51] i have 1.5tb internal rive and a 2tb external atm [08:51] * vibhav loses warrenty [08:51] Hyperbyte, Oh nice yeah I looked at the man just searchwed for permissions :) [08:51] *searched [08:52] ds [08:52] ext4 max volume size = 1 EiB whatgever an EiB is... ;) [08:52] Lartza, either way rsync is probably way to go if you want to copy large amounts of data and make sure symlinks stay symlinks, permissions stay correct, etc.... [08:52] Hyperbyte, Yes probably :) Although cp -a worked twice for me already since I always don't think of rsync :) [08:53] Lartza, plus rsync can resume if somehow you need to pause/cancel the copy instruction. [08:53] *never think of [08:53] StarryNight: ive had like 5+ 3TB external USB hds attatched to same ubuntu box. ;) [08:53] ran out of usb ports... [08:53] lol [08:53] Hyperbyte, And by it's name it can sync to the backup I now make if I want to bring the same files but like after a system update it won't copy everything? [08:53] I never got that work really but [08:54] backing up a 3tb to another 3tb via usb2... is not fun either. ;;) [08:54] Lartza, it only copies what it needs to. [08:54] Hmm [08:54] Maybe it worked then I just didn't know :) [08:54] :) [08:54] bbl [08:55] when i was in poland i bought one 500gb drive and a 250gb driver (actually i got the 500gb for free as a linux fix i did) and i run out on storage on both! === Kartrohm_afk is now known as Kartrohm [08:55] You can also rsync over ssh even if you want. [08:55] how to improve thread views on ubuntu forums? so far I've got 1 view, but the thread below me has about 1000 views after 10 minutes (how!). [08:56] anyone else got problem with kworker processes that smashes the computer to oblivion when watching youtube for example? If so, is a solution available? [08:56] off topic but still linux related thou question anyone tested windows 8? for me it is a big flop staying with linux! [08:57] StarryNight, maximum file size on ext4 is roughly one terabyte. That's for one file. Maximum disk size is one exabyte. You should be okay. [08:57] oh ok hyperbyte [08:57] StarryNight, I tried it in VirtualBox and it was kind of weird [08:58] Only tested a few minutes but didn't get the hang of like two "desktops" by then (the metro and the classic one) [08:58] i do store a lot of music and videos thats why such a question about the drives [08:58] StarryNight, Windows 8 will probably work great on tablets but ;) [08:58] There's an #ubuntu-offtopic channel, for all offtopic discussion. Let's not discuss Windows here please. [08:58] Yeah [08:59] I am not idling that channel actually... [08:59] Joined so many I need to prioritise :P [08:59] well the thing is since i started to use linux 2 years ago i love it when i tested windows 8 i just could not get hold of it cause i need something i can actually tweak [09:00] i cannot tweak windows sorry :( [09:00] Ubuntu is something you can tweak? :P [09:00] ;) [09:00] im trying installing redmine on ubuntu but dont work :/ help ..i tryied this tutor http://fafadiatech.blogspot.sk/2012/05/installing-redmine-on-ubuntu-1110.html [09:00] Well it is compared to windows and I used to do minimal installs of Ubuntu not sure how that would play out nowadays [09:01] linux will win on many things [09:01] Hyperbyte, --progress doesn't tell you almost anything ;D [09:01] patie, you'll need to give a bit more information than that, if you want people to help you. Start by telling which Ubuntu version you're running, what error message you're getting, etc... [09:01] Lartza, it shows the progress. [09:02] Does not shotw total progress for me atleast [09:02] to-check is probably supposed to be the progress? but the number of total files keeps increasing when it hits 0 [09:03] Hyperbyte: ubuntu 12, dont know about error .. it should work localhost/redmine but dont work.. show only redmine public directory.. apache running, php also ok.. problem with ruby or something else - dont kno [09:03] Hey everyone, I'm having a little problem with ubuntu lately. I posted on ubuntuforums but i got no reply in 3 days http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2008830 [09:03] I was wondering if anyone could help? [09:03] Lartza, I'm not sure rsync determines total process before it starts. I think it determines which files it needs to transfer while it's transferring. [09:03] splinter701, if you do a clean install of Ubuntu, can you reproduce the bug then? [09:04] what is different gconf and dconf ? [09:04] Hyperbyte, It probably checks a subfolder structure at a time since the count always goes up by around 1 or 2 thousand [09:05] mah454, dconf is newer. Gnome 3 uses dconf by default. gconf uses xml for storing configuration, dconf uses a database. [09:05] hyperbyte, i was hoping to avoid doing a complete reinstall. But I could try it if necessary. I thought it might be a problem with my ati graphics card, but im just not sure [09:06] splinter701, thing is, for bugs to be fixed, they need to be reproducable. It could be caused by something you've done since you installed your system. Developers can't go around guessing what it is. [09:06] splinter701, if it happens with a clean install, and you provide a detailed bug report of what exactly happens, and what hardware you have in your system, developers might be able to devise a fix. [09:06] true, i understand that. So you havent heard of this problem before then? [09:06] splinter701: My laptop (openSUSE 12.1, not Ubuntu) freezes after boot on the 2nd character every single time, whether I type fast or slow, but never stays frozen. I wonder if that is similar. My desktop here never does that or anything similar. [09:07] splinter701, I'm not a developer, just a user. I don't keep track of which bugs are in Ubuntu and which aren't. [09:08] yeah, I just couldnt find anything using google, so I thought i should ask in here === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [09:09] alright, i'll reinstall ubuntu then i reckon. Does anyone know of a good backup system? So I dont have to reinstall everything manually again? [09:10] Just put your home directory in a tarball. But don't restore the backup until after your test and bug report. [09:10] (home and whatever else is important) [09:10] yeah, the /home folder is on a separate drive, so Im not worried about that [09:11] just everything else [09:11] Okay, well still consider a fresh home directory for the clean reinstall. And BTW are you using KDE? I am. [09:12] nah Im using gnome3 for my ubuntu 12.04 install [09:12] And what sort of hardware? My KDE laptop that does that mini-freeze is some very old HP thing. [09:12] Looking for help with an internal microphone issue. The usual fixes aren't working. Any advice? I'm using 12.04 LTS. [09:15] i built this computer myself peetaur: asus mobo, intel i5 cpu, ati HD 5700 graphics card, a 15 GB partition of an SSD mounted at /, and a 500 GB partition of a HDD mounted at /home [09:15] Now... what happens if you dd a folder? [09:15] as an of [09:15] Lartza: it needs to be a file i imagine [09:16] dr_willis, why would it need to be a file? I am talking about if=something of=/path/to [09:16] well mhh [09:16] Lartza: try it and see... [09:16] anyone knows any news on kubuntu 5.0? [09:16] I want to test a script that installs a system on a sdcard but I want to test it on the HDD first [09:17] Lartza: dd will give you an error message saying "/foo: Is a directory." [09:17] dd is very specific in what it does.. moved data from one place to another at the lowest level. [09:17] Damn well then [09:17] Hi :) , every traffic to a few special domains should go over a socks5 proxy (with auth). How can I do this? [09:18] if its a file or a device.. dd dosent care. :) so testing to a file would be the same as to a device.. you then mount the file to see what it did. [09:18] dr_willis, Does the file have to exist? [09:19] i imagine dd makes it.. if its not there allready.. and overwrites it- if it is there. [09:20] hi [09:21] hello [09:22] dr_willis, Well the script failed on a file so using my sdcard now then :) [09:23] if there is some startup script(which run some local-file-server)…I want to run everytime…what the best way ? [09:23] 'run everytime' - everytime you do what? [09:24] lost44, wpad.dat. [09:24] every time when I boot [09:24] rc.local can run commands at the end of the boot process. [09:24] what are the commands you need to run? [09:24] lost44, http://www.findproxyforurl.com/wpad_tutorial.html [09:24] ok..is it safe. [09:25] 'is it safe' - totally depends on what you are doing... [09:25] dr_willis: ok, so any other nice alternatives [09:26] * dr_willis wonders how many times he has to say .... it totally depends on what you are doing... [09:26] dr_willis: ok [09:26] thanks dr_willis [09:26] how to improve thread views on ubuntu forums? so far I've got 1 view, but the thread below me has about 1000 views after 10 minutes (how!). [09:27] coob: i seem to recall some firefox extensions for forum tweaking.. but been ages since ive used them. I tend to hang on askubuntu.com these days [09:27] First let me say thanks so much to those that helped me earlier!!! [09:28] welcome :) [09:28] coob, how long ago have you posted your question? [09:28] Second i have booted up my pc. though a USB drive boot, onto a clean SSD. now im having issues getting it to boot from the SSD insted of the USB [09:28] about 4 hours ago or so [09:29] it has been a busy night [09:29] i bet [09:29] everytime someome mentions sdd's im reminded i need to check into pricees for them again. ive heard they are now affordable. ;) [09:30] dr_willis, dirt cheap! [09:30] slickdeals.net 84.99 120gb with a 15$ rebate [09:30] was thinking of picking one up [09:30] i tend to need moar space.. not moar speed. [09:30] can someone pls help me figure this out? when i do sudo apt-get update this is the log i get http://pastebin.com/xnWxs9TC [09:30] dr_willis, more space = HDD, more speed = SSD [09:31] so i always spend my $$ on bigger hds. but with the prices of hdds being so much last year. ive not bought any hdds either. [09:31] Hyperbyte: I checke now - an hour ago. [09:31] 25 views now [09:32] tking, it means you've added some PPA's which don't have packages for your version of Ubuntu. You can remove the PPA to get rid of the warnings, but basically it's just informing you it has ignored the PPA's without Precise versions.

Otherwise just ignore the error. [09:43] i have a question, having already received a solution for it, but the problem is that it is just a bandaid solution that requires renewing every time i turn the computer on [09:43] the problem being that my wifi does not work [09:43] the solution that works is typing into the console the following commands [09:43] sudo rmmod iwlwifi [09:43] sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 [09:43] (in wired mode) [09:43] wireless works thereafter [09:43] so how can i go about making this solution permanent? [09:44] is anyone here? [09:45] test. testing. hello? [09:45] wasn't there modprobe.conf, in which you could put module loading options? [09:45] hi church [09:45] i'm not sure, where does modprobe.conf live? [09:45] are you suggesting i put those two commands in the modprobe.conf file? [09:45] asdfasdf: I can't tell you the specifics, but you need to install mkramfs aka. mkinitrd stuff and insert some special commands like those in some files (maybe modprobe.conf as Church suggested) before builidng the initramfs image, replacing your image in /boot (you should back up the old one) [09:45] also separate conf files in /etc/modprobe.d/ dir [09:45] i do not want to have to plug in the wired ethernet and run those commands each time the computer gets turned on [09:46] for example, if there is /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf: [09:46] i'm just curious, why has this occured, these solutions sound like big complex options to put in place, and i'm very much a noob, and this ubuntu installation is a fresh install and it is still occuring [09:46] ... [09:46] options snd-usb-audio index=-2 [09:46] it never used to be like this... [09:47] whoami [09:47] then you can make similar /etc/modprobe.d/myoptions.conf: [09:47] ok so let me have a look, thanks, church [09:47] options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 [09:47] hello pls i am trying to remove a repository but am getting this error http://pastebin.com/EeaCBbqF [09:47] Church, this sounds like a better approach. What man pages are there for this? [09:47] then depmod -a. and loading module later should load it with that option set. [09:48] so i should be editing /etc/modprobe.d/ in gedit? [09:48] with whatever editor you are used to. you'll probably need root / sudo to edit files in that dir [09:49] unfortunately, there is no alfa.conf in that directory [09:49] i have an alfa-base.conf file, would that do? [09:49] sorry, "alsa-base" [09:49] not alfa [09:49] alsa.conf was mentioned as example. create new file for your extra stuff. [09:50] i'm sorry, i'm new, and i don't want to bugger around with something i might muck up, when i have a solution that works, but is very inconvenient [09:50] so what actual file should i edit? [09:50] hello there is package i want to get thats listed on packages.ubuntu.org, the version of the package i want is listed, but not found when i do an apt-get install, can anyone help? [09:50] create new file with .conf extension in /etc/modrpobe.d/ dir. no need to edit something already there. [09:51] ok. and i can name it anything? [09:51] those already there you can just use as reference how to specify options for loadable modules [09:51] ok... [09:52] also it's possible that you'll need to run once depmod -a command after creating that config file. not sure. [09:52] so by adding those rmmod and modprobe commands i typed earlier will mean those modules will be automatically loaded and won't have to be reloaded each reload? [09:52] i appreciate your help, church, but i really don't know what i'm doing [09:52] i might leave it and just go on as it is [09:52] hello can anyone help? a package is listed on the packages website, but its not availiable when i do an apt-get install what am i doing wrong? [09:53] you don't add rmmod/modprobe commands there. you add: options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 [09:53] without knowing the exact commands and files i'm editing and so on, if it's not a simple fix, then i'll just stay with the current bandaid solution [09:53] by telling which module loading commands will understand, that whenever this module is loaded, it should use this particular option set. [09:53] asdfasdf_, in a terminal, enter this: [09:53] so i create a file "blah.conf" and type "modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1" and that will be somehow hardcoded in and i won't have to retype it each time? [09:54] ok, hyperbyte, please speak on this... [09:54] echo options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 > /etc/modprobe.d/wifihack.conf [09:54] Hyperbyte: +sudo :) [09:54] (oh... that's not gonna work if it's not a root terminal) [09:54] Church, yeah, and sudo problems for the > .. [09:54] and with sudo redirection won't work, right [09:55] hello, can anyone help with an apt-get issue? it could be a bug [09:55] permission denied (even with sudo) [09:55] i.e. "sudo echo options... etc etc" [09:55] asdfasdf_, yeah... gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/wifihack.conf [09:55] ok.. [09:55] In that file add "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1" [09:55] And save. [09:56] the commands have been completed, i hope this works [09:56] then: sudo sh -c "echo \"options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1\" > /etc/modprobe.d/wifihack.conf" ; sudo depmod -a [09:56] hello pls i am trying to remove a repository but am getting this error http://pastebin.com/EeaCBbqF [09:56] so i also type the commands church just suggested after editing "wifihack.conf" with that single line command from hyperbyte? [09:56] Church, no [09:57] That'd be double. :) [09:57] Erm... asdfasdf_ not Church [09:57] i'll try rebooting now and see if this has sorted the problem out [09:57] hi [09:58] when configuring a network bridge, is it right to set the physical interface that should be bridged to promiscuous mode? [09:58] a tthis point i do not have the wired plugged in... (rebooting) [09:59] or may that cause problems? [10:00] ok, that solution has worked, i thank both church and hyperbyte for their assistance, i'm very happy [10:00] k3rn, I think it's necessary. [10:00] asdfasdf_, good... see how easy it was? :P [10:00] thank yooou, hyperbyte. [10:00] very easy. i sorta understand why oyu did there. [10:00] so modprobe is a command that installs drivers apparently [10:01] and the conf files in /etc/modprobe.d/ are where the conf files for loading drivers lives [10:01] and so you got me to create a new conf file in that directory which would automatically load [10:01] correct? [10:01] asdfasdf_, sure. :) [10:01] and gksudo is a command for super mode editing of gedit [10:01] awesome, i learnt something [10:01] thanks [10:01] asdfasdf_, no, gksudo is graphical variant of sudo. [10:02] oh, i see. so i could, for example, gksudo nautilus? [10:02] or any windowed program [10:02] yeah, but why [10:02] asdfasdf_, not much experience with it, but I believe so yes. [10:02] why would i gksudo nautilus? [10:02] asdfasdf_: be carefull with nautilus running as root.. you can forget which nautilus window is the non root ones... [10:02] i was just giving an example. why you'd need to do it, i don't know, unless you wanted to super edit some system files or something [10:03] thanks for the warning, dr willis [10:03] ive seen several people in here in the past - with trashed system because they frogot thei were using nautilus running as root. [10:03] duly noted [10:03] ok, anyway, i have to go, thanks everyone, great support [10:03] asdfasdf_, you're welcome. [10:03] asdfasdf_: root can do on unix os everything. running as nonroot helps selfguard things. use sudo / gksudo only when you absolutely need it. (in this case for editing only root accessible files) [10:04] if you must use a gui file manager as root. then there is a compiz/ccsm plugin i recall that puts (ROOT) in the title of windows running as root.. or use a differnt file maanger just for yoiur root needs [10:04] I am just here to say one thing: "how the FUCK can ubuntu server 12.04LTS use 1280x1024 IN GRUB!!" [10:04] only time i use gui file manager is for displaying few icons on desktop and in open/save dialogs of gui programs :) [10:05] i frankly find xterm + bash with autocompletion easier/quicker then gui file manager [10:05] depends on the task i am doing.. as to what FM i use. [10:05] or as alternative xterm+midnight commander [10:05] mc works for me 90% of the time ;P [10:06] tziOm: careful with your word. [10:06] tziOm: grub2 has resolution config [10:07] Mandalord, but you see my point. I dont scream or swear very often, how the insanity can 1280 be default? Remember servers often have small monitors, 1024 should be maximum [10:07] i'm guessing that his problem was that most older server kvm switches with lcd monitors have 1024x768 resolution. so probably he gained lot of extra headache just because of different res as default [10:08] well, at least if he mentioned "ubuntu server" === iegg is now known as Kartagis [10:08] tziOm: its not default. When installing ubuntu, grub2 automatically choose the best resolution it can think of. If you dont like it, you can change [10:08] Tristam: Don't scream or swear again [10:09] tziOm: on server side i'm somewhat more used to RHEL/CentOS. try those, imho they are more conservative in such things. i tend to leave ubuntu for desktop. [10:09] sorry Tristam [10:10] tziOm: also you should report that wrongly chosen default as bug, so for others to not have problems with that [10:11] its wrongly chosen default [10:11] tziOm: yes === LuiGiuZZo_PiZZoc is now known as LuiGiuZZo_ [10:13] tziOm:: in file /etc/default/grub, uncomment line looks like "#GRUB_GFXMODE="640x480x16"" and change the resolution [10:18] Mandalord, very hard with no image [10:19] I mean default should be less in server [10:19] tziOm, so file a bug report for that. [10:19] hmm.. that only affects the grub menu. shouldent be affecting the actual display once the system boots.. [10:20] it does [10:20] sounds more like a framebuffer issue.. [10:20] [Ubuntu 11.10, Chromium, Firefox] - I can't edit (update) my 'Ubuntu forum biography' (user control panel). [10:20] theres also a grub entry for a non graphical grub, in that file you can uncomment. [10:20] tziOm: if the display after boot is not correct then it is not a grub problem [10:22] * dr_willis makes his Grub menu play a tune after its loaded.. see the end of the grub config file for that line.. ;) [10:22] Mandalord, not a grub perhaps, but a ubuntu 12.04 server problem [10:23] framebuffer consoles can be problematic on some video cards [10:23] i belive the 'text' option disables the framebuffer, or the 'nofb' option./ [10:23] Hallo [10:26] gan mw nax ni, [10:27] another revolver [10:28] If I want to write a shell script that uses a lock-file to ensure that only one instance of the script is running. How do I best do this? I see there is a command lockfile-create (etc.) on ubuntu, but on debian this does not exist, there one finds the command lockfile, however this does not exist on ubuntu. Should I rather roll my own lock-file mechanism? (I want it to work on at least all linux boxes) [10:28] does ubuntu server have nomodeset? we may set nomodeset to repair then try again [10:29] trying nomodeset shouuldent hurt to try. ;) [10:29] Mandalord: have you tried? [10:29] not sure ive ever notied the console being affected by nomodeset [10:29] dr_willis: the likes of the free radeon and nouveau drivers also affect the console [10:30] szal: i'm thinking a way to fix tziOm's problem [10:30] dr_willis: yesterday you told me to check up on you whether cairo-dock allows alt-tab, do you remember? any luck? [10:30] !nomodeset | tziOm: try this, may it work [10:30] tziOm: try this, may it work: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [10:31] since i added edubuntu packages to my laptop, i have to enter authentication for wireless every time i boot up. anybody else have this problem?

When I try to change the ip adress of my Wireless networkcard (through System Settings > Network Wireless > Options > IPv4 Settings) to manual, well... basicly nothing happens. When I look up how to change my DHCP I get refered to the '/etc/network/interfaces' file. But my wireless interface isn't mentioned at all. Anyone an idea how I can fix this?

(with Ubuntu 12, the /etc/resolv.conf file gets overwritten so you put your DNS in the interfaces file) [11:00] even though it says i am not connected the maching can be pinged [11:01] Than that's the one I'll read first, thanks again @ peetaur [11:01] Then* [11:01] jrib, ok. tks. I go..

Now I am working thru a livecd and chrooted to my ubuntu /. My command was thru that terminal only. - now for my hosts file. [11:09] ksbalaji: why are you not on the actual system?

[11:10] ksbalaji: why? [11:11] jrib, I do not get connection! ( something wrong with networking?) I do not know. [11:11] ksbalaji: what caused all of this?

Better install and use lftp or ncftp, or to avoid the ftp protocol alltogether. [11:30] Has this become a social chatbox? [11:31] Elvano: no - its still thep lan to limit ourself around offering ubuntu support ;) [11:33] I have a question though (support related). Why isn't there a 'Ubuntu for Newbies'-book in the Ubuntu webshop? [11:34] Elvano: Because Canonical doesn't produce one, all books are written by third parties I think.

[11:38] Elvano: Yeah, mostly. [11:38] Elvano: Somewhat.

[12:04] bought 2 months but it's a netbook [12:05] \yes. live USB made properly [12:05] Did you go in the bios to set USB HDD as boot [12:05] it just absent in boot devices list [12:05] Preferably as first boot device [12:05] Habib: Right, just have to check. Some people just open the iso in an archiver and copy the files over :) [12:05] no i used USB Installer [12:06] s/have/had/ [12:06] ))) yeah i know there a lot of dumbs [12:06] but i feel like i'm too cos of this problem [12:06] i trying installing redmine on ubuntu12 ... when i have this http://pastebin.com/6kHjVnLC in etc/apache2/sites-avaiable/default on end i give error on localhost/redmine = Cannot start Ruby on Rails application The directory "/var/www" does not appear to be a valid Ruby on Rails application root .... when i save this to etc/apache2/sites-avaiable/redmine with tags dont work = only list redimine directory [12:06] So it doesn't display USB HDD as boot option? [12:06] Habib: UNetbootin is way better and has never disappointed me! ;) [12:07] it just sdisplay internal HDD drive and nothing more [12:07] The bios doesn't show the USB HDD as option, I mean @ Habib [12:07] Habib: And you have the usb inserted while you boot, right?

[12:09] u know that on ubuntu there is stuff like cd boot helper [12:10] so did try this and it started to work. it made a directory on my C:\ [12:10] directory weigthed 14 Gb [12:10] and place was no more [12:10] Even if the image isn't written correctly, that shouldn't affect wether or not the USB HDD is displayed as bootdevice in bios @ Habib [12:10] even so id wasn't enough so it stoped and i deleted the folder [12:11] Elvano, exactly [12:11] What motherboard do you have?

[12:11] i use netbook NP305U1A [12:12] i used esc key [12:12] it doesn't show me USB drive [12:12] Habib: so did you get any menu? [12:12] yes [12:12] Perhaps, but I'm just trying to figure why the USB key doesn't get detected [12:12] it gives me only HDD [12:12] Habib: then create it with UNetbootin as i said before [12:13] ok/ i'll try [12:13] Habib: format first then build [12:13] Ca11um: sounds like it's signed with a custom certificate authority [12:13] fat 32? [12:13] Habib: yeah [12:13] Habib: where are you building it, in windows? [12:13] yeah [12:14] Why is there a separate PC-Mac install media from the plain PC install media?

[12:18] yeah the same thing [12:18] hubert_: try to change the gfx driver or the login-manager ;) [12:18] i thought it will see USB drive in BIOS anyway [12:18] would be my first ideas [12:18] Habib: have you booted that computer from a USB stic before? [12:18] no [12:18] and allso [12:18] Habib: are you sure that it's enabled in the BIOS? [12:19] i've tried to install CD boot helper from WUBI [12:19] fidel, It is not installed yet, it appears during installation.. [12:19] i looked through and didn't find any signs od USB turn offs [12:19] Try all 3 usb-ports as well. @ Habib , epzil0n [12:20] and in boot sequence querry there are USB HHH - N/A [12:20] USB HDD N/A [12:20] Then indeed it should be activated somewhere in the bios @ Habib [12:21] Elvano: agree.. [12:21] Do not limit your search for it to the boot tab. BIOSes aren't always all that logic @ Habib [12:22] yeah ok... i'll look for this fersion of BIOS manual [12:22] thn [12:22] x [12:22] hubert_: so what login screen are we talking about then hubert_ ? [12:22] are ...you [12:22] *or* you [12:22] Don't forget to keep us updated on your progress ;3 @ Habib [12:23] It's sad, but true. Many people come with a problem and never let us know if it got fixed ;-; [12:23] Well, i need to install it, so i put it in, restart PC, it loads, violet Ubuntu loading screen appears for a while and then appears login screen. Without anything installed.. fidel [12:24] ok))))) [12:24] hubert_: doesnt makes sense [12:24] if you insert an install cd - reboot your box - it will offer you to load from CD [12:25] if you choose that it will again offer you either to install or use the live cd function [12:25] in both cases there shouldnt be a login screen afaik [12:25] It doesnt. Just load and then login. Dunno why, that's why i ask.. [12:26] i guess we are talking about different topics then [12:26] gl [12:26] gonna kill myself now..

[12:28] hubert_: 2 final ideas or similar: are you using a current cd? [12:29] and b) consider messing around with boot-parameter - most linux cd offer that option at start [12:30] @fidel im using 10.10. cd. but i will try 9.04 and try to upgrade it then..

[12:52] Usr13 yes [12:52] it was around befor chrome and it open [12:52] navyjack: but when installing ordinary ubuntu, there isn't any progress after choosing location [12:53] habIb: Maybe because firefox is the leading / most popular internet browser. It's what most of us use, (by a very large margin). [12:53] navyjack: and when trying alternate installers getting source error [12:53] checked, installer file isn't corrupted [12:53] Ok thnx [12:53] installing via usb [12:54] Antaranian: try another USB [12:55] habIb: Sometimes we use konqueror because of it's intergrated file management tools... but only once in a while do we need such tools. [12:55] Antaranian:try other USB or burn ISO to CD/DVD [12:55] i like chrom better and ir betten ie but link never used ie so it dont mean much firefox is more liunx frendy [12:55] serdotlin: ok, I'll try, thanks [12:56] Look.

[12:56] Afterall in loader menu there are no ubuntu loader === lubmil is now known as lub` [12:56] And that,s really awesome [12:56] did u cheak mp5sum [12:56] navyjack: there is already a primary NTFS partition for windows, and another FAT partition [12:57] and I've cut an EXT4 partition before install [12:58] Antaranian: for "swap", "/home", etc, right? [12:58] navyjack: for / , and there is another 5gb SWAP partition [12:59] It just starts windows [12:59] Antaranian: look at this screenshot:http://imgur.com/a/rw1r2#0 [12:59] habIb: What are you trying to say? Do you have a question you are trying to ask? [12:59] habIb: Did you fail to install grub to the master boot record? Is that your issue? [13:00] Usr13 must be [13:00] happy guessing hehe [13:00] How to install grub? [13:00] habIb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [13:00] habIb: check this how to install ubuntu:http://imgur.com/a/rw1r2#0 [13:00] serdotlin: yes, I've chose "something else" [13:03] I seem to remember there should be a program that compares the exact content of two folders and removes doubles if told to... Sound familiar? [13:04] What grub to use with last version of ubuntu [13:04] sirriffsalot: fdupes [13:05] jrib, gonna check it out:) Any comments on the program? Bugs?

[13:08] nemo, yeah, thats how mine works [13:08] habIb: Boot the Ubuntu CD, install and run Boot-Repair, click Recommended repair and apply [13:08] compdoc: is there a way to make it not do that? [13:09] compdoc: 'cause I can't use any menus [13:09] also repaint seems completely screwed up [13:09] well. it always was, but it seems worse [13:09] nemo, there are some programs out there to tweak things, but I dont know if they work for that. Many options are still being added to Unity, so it might exist in the next release [13:09] Where do i find boot repair?

[13:13] If it helps, I mainly use Emacs, Firefox and VMWare Player. [13:13] Antaranian, do you speak russian? [13:14] etfb: 64-bit. There aren't any compelling reasons not to anymore [13:14] etfb, might as well go 64bit [13:14] yandex2389: What *were* the compelling reasons? [13:14] Hi all! :) [13:15] I was wondering if someone could recommend a good photo organizer and editor like Picasa on Windows [13:15] etfb: if mem > 1.x -> most likely 64bit [13:15] > 3.x [13:15] etfb: Odd bits of software where there weren't 32 bit versions, and you had to mess around with ia32lib or whatever. Flash player for example. [13:15] navyjack: yes, sure. born in USSR :) [13:15] compdoc: ah. DE specific. n/m. [13:16] etfb: And 64-bit often produces slightly larger binaries I think. [13:16] Does Flash work in 64bit now? (Because if what I see in 32bit Ubuntu is "Flash working correctly" then I'm very surprised!) [13:16] I have 2Tb of disk space (plus an SSD for root to live on) and 16Gb of RAM, so I'm not worried about that... [13:17] etfb: WFM™ [13:17] etfb: well 64 bit then [13:17] Cool. The good thing about anecdotes is: they're usually bad news. A bunch of people on #ubuntu all agreeing that something is OK = solid gold guarantee, as far as I'm concerned. [13:18] I notice it says AMD64, but I've got an Intel i7 -- is that a problem? [13:18] Antaranian, try to use this http://help.ubuntu.ru/manual/pdf [13:18] (It = the downloaded 64bit iso) [13:18] etfb, no [13:18] solved. [13:19] like a sir. [13:19] thats the right one [13:19] Cool. Well, it's downloading now, and soon I shall boot it up and see if it works. [13:20] etfb: No, amd just "got the name" for the 64-bit architecture. It works just as well with intel 64-bit cpus. Just like i386 (intel 80386) works fine with amd 32-bit processors. [13:20] Figured that was it. [13:20] Thanks, all. [13:21] Antaranian, i think that manuals have common instructions for installing different Ubuntu versions === ninjak_ is now known as ninjak [13:22] Usr13 thnx. It worked [13:23] Hi.

[13:34] Found one on tigerdirect, and I was looking for a site that lists compatible laptops. Couldn't find one. My google skills don't seem to be as good as others. Any suggestions on a good site?

If I have this line in my sudoers: "arcadia-staging ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/start arcadia-staging, /sbin/stop arcadia-staging, /etc/restart arcadia-staging". Then am I correct in thinking that running `sudo restart arcadia-staging` from the user 'arcadia-staging' should not prompt for a password? [13:40] thomasfedb: /etc/restart? [13:42] jrib, is that required? [13:43] anyone around that can help with a fstab issue and mounting a windows share with cifs? [13:43] thomasfedb: no I am asking you if you really mean /etc/restart and not /sbin/restart (or whatever) [13:44] jrib, yes I did mean /sbin/restart. Cheers.

Apparently you need to supply a domain=... too [13:57] geirha, I think that I got it ..... [13:57] Yes litespeed its faster, [13:58] and there are free standard edition [13:58] LjL: The fact something is "widely scrutinized" does not guarantee quality, look at Debian and the PRNG fiasco.

If I make it an extsomething the size is still 31mb:S [14:14] sergeantcupcake define 'better' [14:14] sergeantcupcake: a single program that does more then one thing, doesn't follow the unix philosophy of "do one thing well".

[14:16] Dr_willis_, I tested it less than two days ago:P [14:16] sam1967: can u give a screenshot ? [14:16] sirriffsalot, ive had hard drives die while ive been using them.. thats not really proof its good. [14:16] Dr_willis_, anyway, yeah, that might work... Do I wipe 33,345,608 bytes then? [14:16] sam1967: (just to make sure it not a hardware problem) [14:16] It didn't die while I was using it:D [14:17] sirriffsalot, yu may not need to zero out the whole hd. but id let it run for a little bit [14:17] I reformatted it to MS-DOS and this happened [14:17] Dr_willis_, but I have no idea what the exact size is.. since it only shows 33mb.. [14:17] you have the partion marked as ext3/4 but formated it to msdos. :) [14:17] dd will zero out untill it hits the end of the disk. [14:17] how do i do that ? [14:18] Dr_willis_, Isn't dd a long line of text? dd if=/dev/sda something [14:18] !screenshot [14:18] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [14:18] Dr_willis_, did it a while ago [14:18] err.. of would be sda.. if would be /dev/zero or similer.. [14:18] Dr_willis_, is there a command to simply wipe the whole thing? [14:18] I would just like to say, since I'm bored: long live Ubuntu!!! :) [14:18] Dr_willis_, yes, I have the command somewhere, but since I do not know the exact size, what will the commandbe?

I have this rss feed window that I want to stick to the tool bar that I set up on top of the screen, so that when I fullscreen windows, the window doesn't go over the rss feed.

[14:20] Dr_willis_, with what command?:O [14:20] sisar: it makes a click but doesnt ask me to save it [14:21] sam1967: a straight-forward screenshot is scrot.

[14:35] can do it by autostart desktop sessions but some 1 said it wasnt the right way [14:35] sry lol [14:35] Dr_willis_, yes? [14:36] linuxnoob: Good idea checking, but I believe that all newer versions will run on netbooks (they may just consume more system resources) [14:36] zykotick9: In Ubuntu Software Center it's called "Network (network-manager-gnome)" right? Is that the right one to install? [14:36] 12.04 works well on my netbook [14:36] oh SOrry NurseDad h00k I was just ttrying to get the ball rolling, I am not sure how to trouble shoot that. I just know when someone comes in saying" this doesn't work" the room will ask for more details to better troubleshoot things [14:37] designbybeck: gotcha ;) [14:37] unknown45682: are you using server? [14:37] linuxnoob: They may not be specifically designated netbook distributions, but I am almost certain that all newer versions will work [14:37] no, desktop [14:37] ok [14:37] ok now [14:37] im just doing this so i can download torrents [14:37] unknown45682: then it's already installed [14:37] VeraMono: Sir Yes Sir! [14:38] zykotick9: ah i see. i think you meant "network tools" then [14:38] Dr_willis_, honestly I just made a new partition table and the size is suddenly shrunk, it can't just be broke because of that [14:38] unknown45682: "network tools" might be what ubuntu renames it - but it's network-manager-gnome as you've discovered [14:38] sirriffsalot, ive had hds die at any time. If you zeroed it.. it is no longer haveing a partition table either [14:38] sirriffsalot, rerun gparted on it and see what it looks like [14:39] zykotick9: yea, you're right. cus i see the software center says its already installed [14:41] Dr_willis_, it's still 31mb with this red exclamation mark [14:41] Dr_willis_, and unallocated [14:41] This has something to do with the bootloader. The exact error I'm getting is "boot configuration data store could not be opened" (Im trying to install Ubuntu using Wubi on my Win netbook) [14:42] I've tried both 10.10 and 12.04 [14:42] linuxnoob: ok, focus on the 12.04 installation, please don't ask for support with 10.10 [14:43] NurseDad: h00k ... NurseDad is this a new install? can you plug it in with a cable first? Maybe it needs a full update and/or drivers before it will work? [14:43] linuxnoob: have you tried a full install and not Wubi? [14:43] Dr_willis_, suggestions...? [14:44] check your warrenty, and sent it in for replacement [14:44] @designbydeck - I will have to try that now. Downloading at 40KBps is a pain [14:45] @oCean - I've also tried installing 12.04 . I get the same error [14:45] zykotick9: thanks for that tip. im using network manager now and i think i might be able to figure it out [14:46] unknown45682: it's an option in there somewhere (sorry i don't use N-M so have no idea where). good luck. [14:46] zykotick9: it's ok, i think i've got it. will find out soon enough :) [14:48] Hi. Are there any cheap wireless usb's that work with ubuntu without having to install any software? [14:48] Humble313, bought one on amazon the other day $8 - total plug and play. [14:48] Humble313: Yes, look in this list https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported where the card type is "USB" [14:48] Humble313, check reviews/comments at amazon is what i did. This one is some generic 'panda brand' [14:48] Humble313: Wireless like wifi or 3g/4g ? [14:49] Humble313: yeah I've used a USB Belkin, cheap worked just fine with Ubuntu [14:49] dont expect great speeds or long range for the low end ones. ;) [14:49] Dr_willis_: You have to be careful with generic devices, the actual chipset can vary a lot [14:49] yeah i've checked that link out. when i typed lspci -v i couldn't find a wireless section [14:49] all i saw was ethernet and firewire [14:49] Almost all Belkins work out of the box [14:49] Humble313: You'd only see anything listed once you have actually bought a USB dongle... [14:49] If it's USB you probably want lsusb and not lspci [14:50] genii-around: key word being "Almost" ;) [14:50] zykotick9: Heh, yes [14:50] ok hold on i'll try lsusb again [14:52] Humble313: That command only lists devices you already have attached to your computer. You said you were looking to buy one... [14:53] Is there a command to figure out what time the last command finished? or anything similar? [14:53] genii-around: along the lines of lsusb and lspci.... i saw somewhere they said you should run lspci as sudo ? but I'm not sure why [14:53] designbybeck: lspci does not require sudo, lshw does [14:54] hmm what does lshw do zykotick9? [14:54] designbybeck: ? it's a 3rd party package of some sort [14:54] lists hardware [14:54] designbybeck: but it lists hardware ;) [14:54] designbybeck: It gives you a very comprehensive breakdown of hardware. But some of the probing it does needs admin rights [14:55] nice [14:55] without sudo, you sometimes get limited info [14:56] designbybeck: general rule however - don't use sudo unnecessarily [14:56] thanks zykotick9 and genii-around [14:59] Some one please help me.

I have rsyslogd installed but it isn't a listed service (service command or /etc/init.d), however sysklogd is, even though the default on ubuntu is supposed to be rsyslogd and I don't have the sysklogd package installed. [15:16] anyone know if the Skype in the ubuntu repos will be updated to skype 4.0? [15:16] asus1025c: maybe in Trisquel support channels or general channel like ##linux? [15:16] Multiply: oh, that. I don't know either, but it seems that way? [15:16] Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity3D ... for some reason, when I minimize Gnome-Terminal or Terminator it just closes... but Xterm does not and shows in Unity as it's supposed to do... any ideas why this happen ? [15:16] issuing a logger ---- command, even with p emerg, does not log. [15:17] eventually I want to do remote syslogd, but for now I can't even get syslog logging locally [15:17] crackofdawn, if you change those settings after the raid holds data, you'll likely lose it all [15:17] oCean, i tried those channels and they told me to come here to discuss UBUNTU forum postings [15:17] Jagst3r15: usually (there are a couple of exceptions - firefox) packages don't get version updates after release [15:17] compdoc: according to man mdadm that isn't true [15:17] zykotick9 that is kind of dumb [15:17] asus1025c: well, they were wrong. This channel is for officialy recognized derivatives only [15:17] compdoc: you can run mdadm --grow --backup-file=/file --chunk= /dev/md/whatever [15:18] and it will do it online [15:18] Jagst3r15: ubuntu != rolling release [15:18] because then for 5 years u have out of date? [15:18] it uses the backup file to rebuild the entire array keeping the data intact [15:18] Jagst3r15: try 6 months... [15:18] what about the LTS? [15:18] Jagst3r15: oh if you don't upgrade - then ya [15:19] so pretty much the software center is worthless in LTS [15:19] might as well download from the skype official site [15:19] Jagst3r15 the S in LTS means Support [15:19] i understand but outside of a few applications like gedit, firefox a lot of stuff is out of date [15:20] Jagst3r15 you mean non-GPL or commercial 3rd party software? [15:20] Jagst3r15: it depends on your need. If you require latest, Ubuntu is probably not the right distribution. If you require stable, choose Ubuntu [15:20] !latest [15:20] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [15:21] although, Skype is in the partner repo, i'm not sure that follows the usual rules. [15:21] I am having difficulties setting up syslogd on ubuntu 12.04. I have rsyslogd installed but it isn't a listed service (service command or /etc/init.d), however sysklogd is, even though the default on ubuntu is supposed to be rsyslogd and I don't have the sysklogd package installed. Issuing a logger command, even with -p X.emerg, does not log to anything in /var/log locally. Eventually want remote for now even local syslogd is broken. D: [15:21] oCean: i have the exact opposite opinion. i think of ubuntu as being cutting edge [15:21] ok [15:24] zykotick9: Ubuntu isn't cutting edge... it has to cope with the inertia of the stability-focused Debian project. Fedora is the cutting edge distribution, Red Hat develop a lot of the Linux infrastructure after all [15:24] how do i update the firmware for crucial m4 on ubuntu?

[15:26] yandex2389, u understand me correctly [15:26] !vbox [15:26] Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures.

It works when I plug one in using VGA, but I get blank screen with DVI. Can't even Ctrl+Alt+F1. Can I fix it, or is it time to learn braille?

I think that the driver is not present in the installer. How is that supposed to work? Are new installers released over the life of an LTS? [15:28] how do i get virtualbox ???? [15:29] still no luck with Linksys AE1000 on ubuntu LTS 12.04. [15:29] bobg, the newer the os, the better the device support (drivers) [15:29] hello [15:29] sorry [15:30] bobg: Drivers are present in a kernel, not the installer specifically. If it's enterprise level hardware, try Red Hat/Cent OS. It's more likely to have the driver for NICs [15:30] I'll try redhat [15:30] is there some way to reduce size of data sent to IPP printer (or whatever it was called) by win7? I'm printing 2 PDF pages and it took 90 mb data to transfer o.O [15:31] im connecting to ubuntu server sharing printer unsupported by win7 [15:31] bobg, intel i350 is supported, you must have been doing something wrong >> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/component/pci:8086:1521-NETWORK/ [15:32] MonkeyDust, how do i get vbox ???

[15:33] dont see any reason it wouldnt work with DVI [15:34] etfb: i use DVI just fine, i don't think that has anything to do with the OS [15:34] OerHeks, that page does not mention which ubuntu version the support is in -- how do I confirm whether or not its supportted in lucid (10.04) LTS [15:34] etfb, it works with whatever resolution your ghraphics card and monitor can muster with VGA, DVI or HDMI [15:34] drag0nius: I can see two examples where it doesn't -- my two monitors. How on earth do I debug it? [15:34] yeah when i use prtsrc it just clicks. no option to save it ? [15:34] bobg it is, for years. [15:34] I am wanting to encrypt a portion of my hard drive. TrueCrypt is failing me. (I'm running 10.04lts 64bit). Is there an encryption program in the Ubuntu packages? [15:35] bobg i suggest try ubuntu 12.04.

[17:13] i either get tons of missed strokes if i turn on keyboard repeat and set the delay high, or occasional extra chars if i set the delay low. if i turn it off, i can't repeat, eg, backspace [17:13] this problem showed up with either 12.04 or the pvs one, don't recall exactly when [17:13] but it's very frustrating [17:13] CrazyGir: apt-cache polich package-name [17:14] hah [17:14] thanks :)\ [17:14] NP [17:14] CrazyGir: Correction: apt-cache policy package-name [17:15] hello. i want to use egrep like this: [17:15] egrep -R TODO static/*.js [17:16] but it doesnt work. i think its because for the recursive option, i cannot specify the *.js part [17:16] i can only give it a folder [17:16] hello peeps.. i need help installing windows 7 in virtual box ose manager [17:16] can anyone tell me how to achieve looking recursive under some folder AND in filer the end in .js [17:16] files* [17:16] usr13, wlan0, its a broadcom card [17:17] ActionParsnip: Yep, it dies immediatly [17:18] jenia_: find static -name '*.js' | xargs egrep TODO [17:18] ThePendulum: cool, you have a workaround for now ;) [17:19] ahhh okay okay. thanks [17:19] ActionParsnip, booting with nodma gives the same error message: "this device does not support DMA, switching to PIO". Is there a way to verify that setting 'nodma' during boot actually changed something? [17:19] ActionParsnip: Well, clicking twice still is less work than opening the cli :P [17:19] But thanks for the suggestion [17:19] jenia_: Actually if you're looking for TODO, fgrep would be fastest [17:19] ThePendulum: your call, least you know it can be donw [17:20] ActionParsnip, I am back did you maybe answer my question? [17:20] ahh okay thanks [17:20] xauth: jenia_: sudo updatedb; locate *.js | xargs egrep TODO [17:21] ActionParsnip: Then you'd have to wait for updatedb to finish, *and* make do with all .js files everywhere on the system... [17:22] Another thing [17:22] Every now and then, Ubuntu starts with the displays completely deconfigured [17:22] * Shojo kisses ThePendulum [17:22] :) [17:22] ActionParsnip: Oh, and you're using superuser rights where not strictly necessary... [17:22] cool nick [17:23] Hehe, thanks [17:25] which are the differences betwen power-up, reset and init [17:25] I need to remote desktop my ubuntu machine from windows and it needs to be fast. Anyone got any suggestions? [17:25] A reset usually is just a combination of shut-down and power-up [17:26] jkbbwr: TeamViewer? [17:26] ThePendulum: Local network? [17:26] Install it on client, install it on host, and you're set [17:26] There is TV IP for local networks [17:26] ThePendulum: I kinda wnana avoid corperation shit [17:26] What do you mean? [17:27] I wanna use my ubuntu machine from my windows one over a local area network without a big clunky software thats gonna tunnel me over the internet anyway [17:27] TeamViewer IP...

[17:27] It works via VPN [17:27] That's TeamViewer, not Teamviewer IP [17:28] Hi all, I keep losing/regaining wireless on my laptop. When I lose it, it gives the following error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1062853/ [17:29] ThePendulum: explain? [17:30] You can set-up TeamViewer so it works using a VPN connection rather than the internet [17:30] ThePendulum: sweet [17:30] thanks [17:30] i'mm tr [17:30] I'm not quite sure how, but we use at at work at it works pretty damned quick;y [17:30] *l [17:31] i'm trying to make ubuntu got to text mode at startup [17:31] !text| cosmic [17:31] cosmic: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

[17:38] cosmic, can you be more specific, what does not work? [17:38] TheLordOfTime, i figured it out i thin k i forgrt to set the optic drive [17:38] TheLordOfTime: There is no cancel button! [17:38] sh1v: which "progress bar" are you referring to? [17:39] I cant get into grub at startup [17:39] sh1v: and how are you installing it (Terminal, GUI such as Synaptic or Update manager, etc.) [17:39] software center [17:39] cosmic, you mean you do not see grub at all during startup? [17:39] it's stuck on "applying changes" [17:40] well, i see grubs boot menu and I can edit a file with 'e' option [17:40] sh1v, do you have any other program, such as synaptic or update manager running?

Don't forget to run 'sudo update-grub' when you are done [17:46] is there not something similar to task manager in ubuntu? [17:46] oh, that was the name of the thing I was trying to find!

When anybody will have a second I'll appreciate to know if it's possible [17:50] Xelx: what video card? [17:51] Xelx: I know this sounds crazy, but video memory and system memory occupy the same addressing space. [17:51] product: G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] [17:51] vendor: nVidia Corporation [17:51] Xelx: so no matter what, with 4GB of physical memory, however much memory your video card has will eat up that much of the 4GB addressing space. [17:52] Hi, I recently installed Ubuntu on my Dell XPS 15. Everything works fine, except for my HDMI port. Am I missing a driver or something? [17:52] Xelx: same with windows too. [17:52] my videocard doesn't seems like eating any ram [17:52] Xelex : it does eat ! [17:52] Xelx: what I'm saying is, if your video card has 512MB, then 512MB will be missing from your 4GB [17:52] Ufo13: why no live cd? [17:52] Xelx, onboard video will take that mem whatever you do. [17:52] it's not onboard [17:53] OerHeks: its the same for any OS with a 32 bit addressing space on intel architecture [17:53] its not an issue of the memory being actually used. its an issue of the video memory using the same addressing space. [17:53] if my videocard has 512MB onboard, than nothing will be missing from my 4GB, but thanks for suggesting [17:53] Ufo13: if you can't even boot from a live cd anymore it'll be hard to find a solution here [17:54] Xelx: no, really, that is the issue, a 32 BIT os has literally 32 bit worth of memory addresses to allocate, whether to main ram or video ram, it has nothing to do with whether it is a shared memory of an onboard video, or an actual video card [17:54] (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system [17:54] Xelx: it is the same for windows. [17:54] have you got any idea what this error could be? [17:54] xelx: as far as the computer is concerned, there is only "one" list of memory addresses. there is not a separate list for the video card's memory. [17:55] Ufo13: sounds like your live cd doesnt work properly? is it an usb stick or a cd? [17:55] stimoceiver: oh, I see what you mean [17:55] xelx: solution is switch to a 64 bit os if your processor supports it. [17:55] it's a CD [17:55] I burned it on a dvd actually [17:55] Ufo13: try burn disk again at slower speed [17:55] stimoceiver: but doesn't videocard processor should handle videocard ram? [17:55] it's ok to burn on a DVD right? [17:56] stimoceiver: bug 864609 has a workaround in comment #3 [17:56] Launchpad bug 864609 in vte (Ubuntu) "libvte9 fails to record utmp/login entries" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/864609 [17:56] Ufo13: also check image integrity [17:56] Xelx: I always thought it SHOULD work that way, but actually the cpu needs to read and write the same memory... AFAIK... I could be wrong but this is the explanation I've alwys heard === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [17:56] what is this check image integrity? :P [17:56] trism: THANK YOU!

I use the latest ubuntu 12.04 and installed "soundconverter" to convert .m4b files to mp3.

[18:01] gry, i guess i will try windows in virtualbox [18:02] ok, md5 is d791352694374f1c478779f7f4447a3f, so it looks legit [18:02] according to google it should work smoothly, but unfortunately it doesn't and i'm too much of a linux noob to decipher the output and execute the neccessary commands to resolve the issue :) [18:02] hey guys, I am trying to add my ubuntu desktop to the current AD environment, I have set a static IP, set in the dns address, downloaded centrify and installed it, but when I run: adjoin -w DOMAIN --user myusername, I get join to domain 'DOMAIN', zone 'Auto Zone' failed, cannot find an active directory domain named 'DOMAIN' in DNS or 'etc/centrifydc/centrify.conf' [18:02] I will try re-burning, so you confirm I can burn this iso on a DVD right? [18:02] Hey guys. I am having problems configuring a wireless connection. Can someone help me? [18:02] I got it to work at home, but when I try any other network it doesn't connect. Says bad password even though i know it's right [18:03] I am omitting the names of the domain, but I followed the guide and it doesnt have u change anything in the .conf file [18:03] R3dneckSec: is the other network public? like university or work wifis?

[18:05] I am using a 10.04 build. WPA/WPA2 in all locations I've tried. [18:05] R3dneckSec: the second reason i mentioned is more likely. [18:05] maxmc: I hope it works.

[18:06] bad client! [18:06] you can use dvd [18:06] ok thanks [18:06] Ufo13: as somebody mentioned, try low burn speed [18:06] Ufo13: burn at slow speed [18:06] @Alexi: no, dosn't work. update & upgrade run ok, but "install libavcodec-extra" produces "Unable to locate package" [18:07] maxmc: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libavcodec-extra&searchon=names&suite=precise§ion=all [18:07] maxmc: -53 missing?

[18:10] R3dneckSec, which wifi chip ? [18:10] @Alexi, @i7c: "sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-53" worked, but soundconverter still prompts me for the missing decoder, and doesn't find it if I proceed... [18:10] Vinster69, edit your list to a title you might want rather than all [18:11] R3dneckSec: is that network 802.1x [18:11] ?

I am trying to install the search UI solritas on my solr 1.4.1 instance, which I installed as an ubuntu package on ubuntu 11.04 (natty). This is being harder than expected. The recipe at http://wiki.apache.org/solr/VelocityResponseWriter says to copy a bunch of .jar from contrib/velocity/src/main/solr/lib to /lib . Well, I don't have any of those .jar, not in the solr-common package (list here: http://bpaste.net/show/ [20:31] WG6bJiFKuJhA4voRNTrI/ ) nor in the 'velocity' module, that I installed separatedly (list here http://bpaste.net/show/MAEICAOm8NpVbocS18Rj/ ). [20:32] Hi guys, i have been upgrading from ubuntu 11.10 to ubuntu 12.04 my netbook. The problem is that now I have bootloop with booting animation with "ubuntu 11.10" written on it [20:32] anyone from romania ?

[20:50] mark__: loud and clear [20:50] :) [20:50] Ive created a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d [20:51] I can't make jack work with my soundblaster card [20:51] which one runs the following comand: aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 50" [20:51] mp19uy: is there a command you can run [20:51] Hey, could anyone help me install my nvidia drivers? [20:51] hello my name is josepo [20:51] yafitshy: what card do you have? [20:51] I'm a professional hacker [20:51] yafitshy: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [20:51] 560gtx [20:51] if I run it in console, it works, but when loads from the script, it doesnt [20:52] b_release -sc wont work [20:52] goodbye [20:52] If i check the log (pm-suspend.log), there is the following error: ati_pplib_cmd: Unable to open display [20:52] I googled it and tried everything but I still have that error [20:53] mp19uy: check here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1831541 #6 [20:53] yafitshy: for nvidia cards in general, you could install nvidia-current [20:53] yafit@yafit-desktop:~$ sudo lsb_release -sc [20:53] precise [20:54] how can i correct this error? Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.21/lib/tools.jar [20:54] i tried nvidia current, also nvidia's driver from thier site [20:54] ActionParsnip, mine is a little different, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063226/ [20:54] nothing wroks [20:54] (a question, completely different from my problem, why I can read some people and some other don't at the IRC? I see someone answering question but I can read the person who asks) [20:54] mp19uy: you may need a sleep in the command so that it gives the x server time to reload, I'd put the items in a script then have the script run in the background [20:55] I thought is was something about that [20:55] [Ubuntu 11.10, Chromium, Firefox] - How could I edit (update) my 'Ubuntu forum biography' (user control panel), while account has less than 50 posts?

[20:58] Lounge: if you run: source ~/.bashrc do they work? [20:58] nevermind just found the answer [20:58] ActionParsnip: while in a tty? [20:58] Lounge: sure, why not [20:58] joel135: it says description: VGA compatible controller [20:58] product: GF114 [GeForce GTX 560] [20:58] thats all you need right? [20:59] yafitshy: yes [20:59] joel135: im currently running nvidia's drivers from thier site, no luck though [20:59] joel135: also, somewhy it wont recornize the drivers as well in system info from CP [20:59] ActionParsnip: yes it works in tty when i type that [21:00] but doesit stick? [21:00] as well = at all [21:00] yafitshy: can you boot with the drivers installed? [21:00] Lounge: do you have a ~/.profile file? [21:00] joel135: im on my machine atm. so i guess i could? [21:00] ActionParsnip: let me check [21:00] joel135: or i didnt ge tthe question? [21:00] ActionParsnip: nope, must have been wiped [21:01] Lounge: I'll pastebim you mine [21:01] ActionParsnip: okay thanks :-) [21:01] Lounge: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063238/ [21:02] actionparsnip, i tried a sleep before the command but what doesn't work, I mean, I put sleep 10 and there was the screen for 10 seconds in black, and the It returned to my session === LargePrime is now known as Guest12001 [21:02] heres my script http://tinypaste.com/7f1f53fd [21:03] yafitshy: you got it :) start a new terminal, issue "cd /etc/X11", "mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.old", reboot computer (it may be unable to boot into graphics mode but that's OK), issue "sudo X -configure" and move the resulting file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf) [21:03] mp19uy: yes, thats why you need a script for both commands, so you can background the script and the wake up will happen but the sleep will delay the command you needto run [21:03] yafitshy: then reboot [21:03] joel135: cant i just kill X and do that? [21:03] ActionParsnip: cool just copied and pasted it [21:04] yafitshy: i guess so [21:04] joel135: thanks let me try. [21:04] So, can you explain me how to edit that actual script I have? or do I have to create another one? === LargePrime_ is now known as LargePrime [21:04] mp19uy: http://pastie.org/4162121 http://pastie.org/4162123 [21:04] mp19uy: something like that [21:05] mp19uy: obviously the shorter paste is the fixati script [21:05] hello? [21:05] Yes, i got that :D [21:05] Firefox seems to run slow after awhile, with a number of windows open [21:05] Let me try [21:05] But Chromium runs much smoother [21:05] mp19uy: see how the script is backgrounded, this is so the flow doesn't wait 10 seconds for nothing [21:06] mp19uy: the script is backgrounded, the resume occurs as normal and there is a 10 second wait before the command you found works [21:06] mp19uy: thats why I said you need a script for it [21:06] (21:54:27) ActionParsnip: mp19uy: you may need a sleep in the command so that it gives the x server time to reload, I'd put the items in a script then have the script run in the background [21:06] mp19uy: I did say... [21:07] ok, im on it [21:07] does any linux window manager provide Mac style 'fullscreen' behaviour i.e: when you click "maximize", it places the window on a new desktop, when you "unmaximize", it closes that desktop and restores to original desk [21:08] What is the purpose of the & at the end of the command? [21:08] [21:08] mp19uy: that backgrounds the command and lets the next commands run [21:08] ceti331: like pressing F11? [21:08] most applications support that [21:08] ...err...a good deal do [21:08] yes but after pressing F11, if you scroll to other desktops you'd be able to see the other windows [21:09] when you press F11 - it maximizes it on the *Current* desktop, not into a *new* desktop [21:09] so like Expo for compiz ceti331 [21:09] ah [21:09] i'm not sure on that one [21:10] example lets say you have 1 screen with 3 windows A B C, then you press 'fullscreen' on C ... you now have 2 desktops; 1=A,B; 2=C(fullscreen) [21:10] hmm. maybe Gnome Shell does is - Gnome Shell is quite similar to MissionControl [21:10] ceti331: ubuntu 12.04 seems to behave closer to mac than how it did back in 10.10 [21:11] unity that is [21:11] Ubuntu 12.04 has Expo/Scale which i love - its more like Mac OSX Snow Lepoard, [21:11] seems to be more like mac than gnome 3 [21:11] Gnome 3 reminds me of MissionControl; Unity reminds me of Expose+Spaces [21:12] the 2 tweaks the Mac had over Linux:- [1] Expose+Spaces could be triggered independantly or combined [2] the maximize behaviour i mention [21:12] Lounge: the default shell for Gnome is Gnome-shell, Canonical made Unity, you can use Gnome-panel is you want [21:12] overall I like unity a lot (dont understand the hate it gets) [21:13] I agree ceti331 [21:14] WEll. I give uinty hate for 2 things: lack of total customization, and kills games [21:14] one thing that kinda annoys me is the way firefox is setup now in 12.04,not sure if this is an issue with ffox but i can't right-click on bookmarks and edit them, nor is there a menu allowhing me to choose where to bookmark pages anymore [21:14] i love the way it handles title+menu bar [21:14] yeah that part is nice [21:14] but you cant customizze any of it [21:14] Pecker: don't use it then, you don't have to use Unity... [21:15] that is to say when i wanna bookmark a page, it just gets bookmarked, no options [21:15] then for games i gets lower FPS than 10.04 on same machine [21:15] I always setup my Mac in the same layout... dock on the left [21:15] ActionParsnip: what you think I actually use 12.04? using 10.04 right now [21:15] 10.04 was great [21:15] ceti331: here is a good write up about Jack who came full circle with Unity http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/ubuntu-unity-making-the-desktop-seriously-efficient-again/3701?tag=content;siu-container [21:16] lets get back on topic please [21:16] Pecker: you can use gnome-panel in Precise, you can also install any of the many desktop / window managers and not get Unity [21:16] yes, when you have "Expo" / "Scale", you just dont need the titlebar panel [21:16] yeah..thats the thing I like about the shells in gnmoe3 [21:16] can get rid of crap shells [21:16] Pecker: Kubuntu 12.04 doesn't have Unity, nor does Xubuntu 12.04, nor does Lubuntu 12.04 [21:16] anyways ill be ranting in offtopic chan [21:17] Pecker: I use 12.04, no unity here === LargePrime is now known as Guest47406 [21:17] Perfection would be multitouch swipes to trigger expose/spaces like the mac [21:17] nice [21:17] What is the default input method in ubuntu 12.04? Is it iBus? [21:17] scim? [21:17] xim? [21:17] but its pretty good with screen corners I find [21:17] Pecker: I suggest you use Xubuntu 12.04 when Lucid is EOL next year in April [21:18] whatever happened to 5 year server support?

[21:21] aticonfig: parsing the command-line failed. [21:22] Same error I was having in my original script [21:22] mp19uy: what is you make the wait reallllly long, on the desktop you should see it running in: ps -ef | grep wait [21:22] X -configure fails [21:23] and still wont use the drivers [21:23] yafitshy: did you make and xorg.conf file ok? [21:23] I need to go now, Ill go back maybe in an hour, if you are still here, Ill keep trying to solve the problem with your help, Im going to write down that last you said [21:24] ActionParsnip: Yeah i think i did. it was created and i moved it. still no use.

[22:11] A desktop shortcut? [22:12] could be anywhere [22:12] Terminal: sudo gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop/ --create-new [22:12] naskopalov, next to the "Home" icon, there is a filesystem i think, does that open? [22:12] ln -s [22:12] jpmorgan as pulse is most likely the culprit, can you access pavu control [22:12] phong_: could create a script or an alias [22:13] SkippersBoss, how do i access pavu control? [22:13] this is what i want at my home: MyFOLDER myfolder = "C:\A\B\C\D whatever [22:13] if i just do cd myFolder , it will bring to it [22:13] save my typing [22:13] Evening gents. I ... or rather Ubuntu seems to have some difficulty finding my S-video output. [22:13] phong_: "cd ~" does that already. [22:13] Linux doesn't work with drive names @ phong_ [22:14] darm, jhust tell me how to make short cut [22:14] phong_: in ~/.bashrc add: export myfolder = "C:\A\B\C\D " [22:14] @Cottus - no [22:14] ok [22:14] phong_, if you have directories you visit often, you might set an alias man alias [22:14] ActionParsnip, no i dont want to do that [22:14] i think it create3 a link file [22:14] i think something with ln [22:14] Elvano, xrandr is a relevant command [22:15] jpmorgan, can you access it from the volume icon in the notification area ?? [22:15] then you can do: cp file $myfolder [22:15] SkippersBoss, it doesn't do anything [22:15] phong_: if you want to link a folder to the desktop, then yes 'ln' will do it [22:15] I tried that and it tells me "output S-video not found;" @ Cottus [22:15] what happens if you disable pulse [22:16] naskopalov, you can install Thunar [22:16] SkippersBoss, my options are dummy output and no options for mic input at all [22:17] u need to disable pulse [22:18] SkippersBoss, how do i disable pulse? [22:18] 1 moment [22:20] SkippersBoss: What makes you think that removing pulseaudio will solve jpmorgan's problem? [22:20] find and edit .pulse/client.conf" by adding "autospawn=0" [22:20] save logout and log back in [22:21] u [22:21] Jordan_U: My apologies I will butt out please take over [22:21] nite nite [22:22] SkippersBoss, Jord [22:23] SkippersBoss, Jordan_U, what do you suggest Jordan_U? before i try SkippersBoss's suggestion. [22:23] sorry jpmorgan: although i never claimed to be an expert - but somneone who's had similar pulse problems in the passed I have just been told by Jordan to mind my own business [22:24] JPmorgan i do wish you good luck with your problem [22:24] SkippersBoss: I simply asked what your reasoning was. [22:24] On my windows my S-video output works fine. It's just on Ubuntu that it can not be found apperently. [22:25] sounds like a driver issue [22:25] what card [22:25] SkippersBoss, after you disabled pulse audio could you use the volume keys on the keyboard? [22:26] Elvano, [22:26] I'm trying to get ubuntu to work with 3 monitors and 2 video cards, but i can only get a display on one or the other video cards. Anyone have any ideas? [22:27] Are these video cards tied together with a cable (Crossfire for AMD or the like)? [22:27] jpmorgan: Can you try testing an Ubuntu 12.04 LiveCD/USB and see if audio / volume keys works correctly there? [22:27] CIDR, http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Multiple_Monitors [22:28] Jordan_U, yes. it will take me about 5 min. i have dual boot on this machine with 11.04. the sound is perfect on that btw. [22:28] CIDR, can you send the xorg.conf [22:28] Cottus, [22:29] no i mean check what schultza said [22:30] Cottus: that says 3 moniteso, but I'm looking at the config and only see 2? [22:30] Elvano: what video chip d you use? Does the system have a make and model? [22:30] Well my card, that's a hard one. I have an Acer Travelmate 5720. It has an onboard Intel Express chipset @ schultza , ActionParsnip [22:31] CIDR, it's a general definition i guess / one monitor "type" for all three of them [22:31] Elvano: is there a key to switch to the other outputs? [22:31] Is anyone else having problems with flash player after a recent update? [22:31] Nope, never had to "switch" @ ActionParsnip [22:32] Hrmm [22:32] Alright [22:33] Elvano: Fn+F5 or FN+F6 [22:33] Elvano: the keyboard layout has weird icons [22:33] Elvano: do you have your manual handy? [22:34] CIDR, this is my xorg.conf and for anyone else to see :D http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063363/ [22:34] F6 is to turn the backlight off, don't yet know what F5 is for. Let me check it ActionParsnip [22:35] Fn/F5 on mine sets the monitor out settings on lcd, external, or both [22:36] Elvano: yep just checked your manual, it's Fn+F5 [22:36] Elvano: did you not think kto check this? [22:37] It doesn't do anything though. @ ActionParsnip [22:38] Elvano: what if you press it twice in succession [22:38] Tried that as well @ ActionParsnip [22:38] Elvano, try booting with the s-video already connected [22:39] That's what I did before I came here @ Cottus [22:40] The VGA connection next to it does work fine though [22:41] Jordan_U, on usb from which i installed ubuntu 12.04 sound is fine. volume keys work.

I’ve just tried installing Ubuntu to my computer, which has several drives. It picked the wrong one to install alongside Mac OS X — I was hoping it’d ask me, but it didn’t even ask me to specify the size proportions, it started installing and the back button didn’t stop it.

[22:49] i think ill just install arch linux then [22:51] hello [22:51] eoss, arch is more complex [22:51] eoss: change the software source to the main server.... [22:51] hi again [22:51] Rods_Tiger: Well, at this point you should probably let it finish. Other than wasting a lot of your time, it shouldn't hurt anything. Once it's done I would confirm that you can still boot into OSX (no reason you shouldn't be able to, but worth a test anyway) then you can boot from the Ubuntu LiveCD again and remove the Ubuntu partiiton, and resize your OSX partition to use the full space on the drive. [22:51] eoss: if you can't chnage source in ubuntu, you'll struggle with arch [22:52] Elvano: it may be more convenient to sudo apt-get install pastebinit and then xrandr --verbose | pastebinit [22:52] i dont know what the main server is, shouldnt it be set to use the main server by default [22:52] I think this should do: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063381/ @ L3top [22:52] it will just spit out a url. [22:52] great one moment [22:52] Jordan_U: good plan. [22:52] Or rather, I hope it'll do... [22:52] eoss: you are using a source for your packages, it is some indian or italian server, if you read your own pastebin you will see the country code being used [22:53] Jordan_U: When I try it again, is there a way of getting it to pick the correct drive? [22:53] oh i see now [22:53] L3top, it's connected, isn't it? [22:53] thanks [22:53] Rods_Tiger: You can choose to do manual partitioning. [22:53] eoss: if you fire up software centre you can change to the main server, you don't need to know what it is, who owns it or even what colour it os [22:53] hmm... Elvano it does not think it is connected. [22:53] try xrandr --output TV1 [22:53] well its strictly command line ActionParsnip [22:53] eoss: so "i dont know what the main server is" is completely irrelevant to anything [22:54] eoss: when did you tell me that? [22:54] Jordan_U: no, that's too complicated and risky [22:54] ActionParsnip: i did not tell you that [22:54] ActionParsnip: well, i just did [22:54] lol [22:54] eoss: so am i supposed to guess? [22:54] ActionParsnip you told me to set the wait time high and run the command ps -ef | grep wait, I set sleep 100 and I the return of that command is: [22:54] martin 20713 8638 0 19:49 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto wait [22:54] To be clear Elvano, we are positive this cable works right? [22:54] eoss: without details I can't do much to help can I [22:54] ActionParsnip: well what other information do you need [22:55] eoss: in future, if you are using server, SAY SO. It changes a tonne of stuff [22:55] Well I had it's possible it had been lose for the last minutes (when I got up to get some water) Let me check all connection points and run the command again @ L3top [22:56] ActionParsnip: ok..im not using server. its normal ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 bit [22:56] eoss: if you run: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list remove the two country letters and the period [22:56] eoss: so you use the mouse and such to manipulate the OS?

Doesn't it? [23:00] jpmorgan: Well, unfortunately I don't know much about sound configuration so I'm not really sure where to go next. If the guest session fails, then the problem is probably in system wide configuration files, if guest session works, then it's probably a problem with configuration files in your home directory.

I have the following issue: cannot open my home folder. I can access the files via the designated programs, but cannot open any folders. The system just freezes for a second and then nothing happens. Please help me. I am very new at this. [23:01] ActionParsnip: Im not.. [23:01] ActionParsnip: Its not server edition ActionParsnip [23:02] eoss: look I'll make this really easy as I'm frankly bored of this [23:02] I have a problem with at script which run when the computer resume from suspend, I was being helped by ActionParsnip but at least for now I see he is a little occupied, is there any else who can help me with this? [23:02] nasko, did you try Thunar [23:02] ActionParsnip: I don't think they gave "false" information, they just weren't using the same definition as you. I'd personally say that the destinction between "Desktop" and "Server" is rather arbitrary. [23:02] seriously new at this, you need to be very specific [23:03] mp19uy: don't forget there's a channel called #bash where they can give yu a hand ... they've helped me out with simple one line Awks for example [23:03] eoss: run: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list you will see lines like: deb-src http://gb.security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu quantal-security universe delete the 2 letters and dot in the address so that it looks like this: deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu quantal-security universe [23:03] ok, open a terminal, run > sudo apt-get install thunar , then execute thunar [23:03] ok i will try my luck there [23:03] eoss: do that for each line, then press CTRL+X, Press Y then Press ENTER [23:03] simply 'thunar' [23:04] hello [23:04] hello dedechan [23:04] unpacking stuff... [23:04] why it doesn't register me :( [23:05] where? [23:05] Well, thank you for all your suggestions and time, gents, but I'll call it a day [23:05] I'm supposed to have a nickname, brb [23:05] after "thunar" the home folder opened [23:05] Night [23:05] How can I optimize my computer? Where can I find information about how to do this? ie: boot up faster, build a custom kernel, ect. [23:05] nasko, then , something went wrong with nautilus , [23:05] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1063398/ [23:06] q: i had youtube videos being played ny totem, now suddenly the videos are played by flash, how do i fix it so that they are played by totem again ? [23:06] why does it say NOT installable? [23:06] nasko, i mean, if you run nautilus --no-desktop it will freeze [23:06] eoss: try: sudo apt-get install tasksel; sudo tasksel install lamp-server [23:07] nasko, by the way, you can stop commands from running with "Ctrl+C" [23:07] Ok Elvano... this is a long way around but... Please give me the output of integrated_id=$(lspci | grep "VGA" | head -1 | cut -d' ' -f1); iid_path=$(find /sys/devices/pci0000:00 -name '0000:'"$integrated_id"); cat "$iid_path"/enable [23:07] madh@vpsmadh:/etc/apt$ sudo tasksel install lamp-servermadh@vpsmadh:/etc/apt$ [23:07] nothin happens [23:08] !lamp [23:08] every once in a while when waking my computer from sleep (12.04 LTS) it wont give me the password login dialog box, so i have to hard reboot...is there anyway to fix this, or to stop it from happening? [23:08] 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+) [23:08] ok, unfrozen now [23:08] i figured that nautilus is bugged [23:08] but don't know what to do [23:09] nasko, you can do apt-get remove nautilus, [23:09] how to set my nickname please ? /nick example ? [23:09] nasko, i 'm not sure [23:09] dedechan: do you mean how do you set your nickname or IRC? [23:09] Jordan_U, no sound as gust but volume keys work. [23:09] ok, then what after i remove it? [23:10] at the moment I can not see my nickname. [23:10] nasko, i want to know if after, home folder will open with thunar [23:10] yes [23:10] dedechan, ask in #freenode [23:10] is a way to set thunar as the default file manager? [23:11] i locked it to the launcher :) [23:11] ok thanks. [23:11] ActionParsnip: i removed lamp-server and reinstalled after removing the subdomain and it seems to have worked [23:11] dedechan: I'm not an expert, but I can see your nickname...if that helps... are you using Pidgin? [23:11] from source.list [23:11] maybe reinstalling nautilus can help? [23:11] ActionParsnip: thanks man [23:11] i have no idea [23:12] eoss: sweet [23:12] i can work with thunar, doesn't seem to be different [23:12] ok [23:12] :) [23:13] jpmorgan: Could you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? [23:13] ok [23:13] oh, Cottus, another question [23:14] yes [23:14] i have my stuff in a backup dir [23:14] how to recover it to the normal places? [23:14] test [23:14] My flash drive isn't showing up in the filesystem anymore and before that I was unable to mount it [23:14] Shaun, try !test [23:14] what could I do to basically reset the flash drive to a discoverable form [23:14] !test [23:14] Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [23:14] Is there a way to prevent mdadm from attempting to start a RAID array? [23:15] I have an array non-essential to system boot (the system is on a different drive), but because it is missing 2 of 4 drives, mdadm can't start it and halts my os boot. [23:15] nasko, i don't know what kind of backup it is , [23:15] .bak folder [23:15] my flash not working [23:16] Adobe flash not working [23:16] well , i haven't worked with that, let me tell you what i do [23:16] ShamanBrahman: last time you unplugged it, did you safely remove it and eject it? [23:16] crazybrain: can you give the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' [23:17] crazybrain: use: http://pastie.org [23:17] nasko, i copy folders to a place , check the creation date and overwrite them as nessesary, i can even remove folder that no longer exist [23:17] Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063411/ [23:17] nasko, man rsync [23:18] not to worry, i found them - i'll just copy/paste the stuff over [23:19] thanks for the help, bye [23:19] I have flash player installed, the plugin shows up in chrome://plugins/, but flash does not work for any site. I see others are having this problem too. Anyone know of a solution? [23:19] bye [23:20] alright, I'm having a weird problem getting a 2nd video card/3rd monitor to work. [23:20] I have it all in the config, and X starts up, but only 2 monitors show up [23:21] i suppose the third is in a separate card [23:21] Yes [23:21] try looking in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:22] could u run 2 different graphics cards at the same time?? [23:22] yep [23:22] and more [23:23] it loads and unloads the mga module [23:23] not sure why... [23:23] does anyone have flash working after updating today on a 32bit ubuntu install? [23:23] i can't help you there [23:24] Has anyone ever had a problem with update manager, Its downloaded 11 updates when i click install it just sticks on waiting? anyone know what's went wrong? [23:24] Tbrb [23:24] TimeKilla: tried in terminal? [23:24] TimeKilla, try it in the console, apt-get upgrade i think [23:24] Jordan_U, after logging out as guest and logging back in, the volume keys now work. scratching my head over that one. but still no sound at all. in pavu my options are dummy output and no input option at all [23:24] ty Will try [23:25] TimeKilla: you may need to kill the process, then use the aptfix factoid if necessar [23:25] which control panel allows me to change the computer name? [23:26] !hostname [23:26] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [23:26] aptfix? [23:26] TimeKilla type !aptfix to find out [23:26] !aptfix [23:26] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [23:27] are there any other flash player plugin other than that of Adobe? [23:27] gnash [23:27] lightspark [23:27] I setup auto upgrades think something has went wrong. [23:28] i got a line in /var/log/syslog about php5, but i unistalled it a while ago. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063419/ what does it mean? [23:29] Nope that commands not working still sticking.

Trying to compile a program which links against libssl. I have libssl1.0.0 and libssl-dev installed and it is seen by ldconfig but the linker is complaining of unresolved symbols. it compiles and links normally on 10.04 and debian stable. Any ideas? [23:43] Is there anyway to check for errors in the OS like cdisk for windows? [23:46] i don't know what cdisk is but fdisk is [23:46] How do I make Ubuntu recognize my onboard graphics driver? [23:47] mcphail: can you pastebin the output? [23:47] !fdisk [23:48] Kiziaru, by installing the drivers [23:49] trism: http://pastebin.com/1bLAv5eN [23:49] Cottus, cfdisk is best tool for adding a drive [23:49] How? I don't know which drivers to install. [23:49] Kiziaru, are you an ATI or Nvidia [23:50] Kiziaru, you need to find out which card you have lspci | grep VGA [23:50] How to you remove traces of every program that has been installed and removed anyone got any idea think something is messing my system up thats been left over after i've uninstalled a program. [23:50] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. KM400/KN400/P4M800 [S3 UniChrome] (rev 01) [23:51] thats my card I guess? [23:51] Kiziaru, Is it on board vga [23:51] hi yall im stuck in the terminal at a package installation screen and can go anywhere [23:52] cant go anywhere [23:52] Kiziaru, yes, that is the card [23:52] then what do I do to install the correct drivers? [23:52] uk linux [23:53] c;\phrek;x;city [23:53] hallo [23:53] EuGeNe [23:53] Kiziaru, Go to System Settings > Additional Drivers and a list should be there that is supported [23:53] ukp host [23:53] mcphail: seems to be in -lcrypto [23:53] c;\worship\i18n.php:16 [23:53] im from german [23:53] Jordan_U, just letting you know im still here patiently waiting. [23:53] -ukpe4 o9 r 4 9i9r 54 i18n.php:16 !

When did that move? The symbols are in libssl (and always have been...) [23:54] Hi, would anyone know the easiest way to create a file chooser dialog when a button is clicked using glade and gtk? [23:54] linux server = me.no [23:54] geltab = x [23:54] lroke v ko r 9 o - [23:54] What is the correct command to remove residual config from the Terminal?

A re-install would almost certainly solve the problem (since the LiveUSB worked), but there is also almost certainly a less invasive solution (I just don't know it). [23:55] ~conept~ukpe47*ik=error [23:56] Any ops re: michael_ ? [23:56] michael_: Please stop. [23:56] ukpe47*u l 0 432 0 $ [23:56] mcphail: they may have actually been in libcrypto (it's in the libssl-dev package), but there have been linker changes since 11.10 which may have stopped it from automatically pulling it in when you include -lssl [23:56] ; [23:56] Jordan_U, should i file a bug report? or use the previous kernel? [23:56] how do i reinstall the previous kernel? [23:57] jpmorgan: Just remove the current one [23:57] Kiziaru, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:57] jpmorgan: You should definitely file a bug report. I doubt very much that using an older kernel will help anything since the kernel in the Ubuntu 12.04 LiveUSB worked fine. [23:57] trism: thanks. That has killed a couple of hours tonight! I thought it was something to do with the relocation of the library with the multiarch setup [23:57] jpmorgan: When you boot, you have the option to pick from the list, choose the pervious one. [23:57] jpmorgan: To file a bug report use "ubuntu-bug". [23:58] usr13, thanks for your suggestion. [23:58] mcphail: more likely due to: http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking [23:58] Kiziaru: you can certainly use the openchrome driver.... let me check if you can get anything better. [23:58] Jordan_U, is ubuntu-bug and irc channel? [23:59] jpmorgan: no [23:59] jpmorgan: No, it's a command. Normally you use "ubuntu-bug package_name", but there is also an interactive window which will pop up if you simply run "ubuntu-bug" and I think "audio problem" is one of the options it supports.
